So racing, you know, I actually get this question quite a bit. I answer it different ways every single time. But racing for me, I realized that at a young age, that was my medication. I was able to not perfect my craft by no means. I felt like I was fast and I was good at what I was able to do. I realized that in that group of people, there was no judgment. There was no...

bullying there was none of that in that atmosphere i mean these are of course just just personal beliefs but when you take artists when you take um like i see the records in in behind you when you have artists when you have people that are thrill seekers that have that ability to do things that more It's actually kind of crazy. It's the special ability, right?

So I've always looked at autism as people with special abilities, meaning like super powers. They do things way better than I can do on certain things. Racing for me, I realized that the camaraderie that I had with my fellow racers gave me a place to belong. When you have that sense of belonging, then the self-doubt starts to go away. When self-doubt starts to go away, now confidence builds.

And it's just that slow progression of climbing that ladder. And with the type of racing that I do, I mean, it's pretty extreme. I mean, when you're doing... 120 to 160 miles an hour on the dirt over bumps and jumps. And I mean, death is close. This thing that you feel alive when you're closest to death, that's kind of how it worked for me.

posed to me like that in a very, very long time. So thank you for that. That's an amazing question. So I woke up one morning, I was married. So I was 26 years old. So I had, I think, two babies at that time, maybe three. And I had been fighting the depressive side of it pretty hard. My wife at the time didn't really understand. I didn't talk about it very often.

I remember waking up one morning and just had the feeling of despair and grabbed my dog. I was a construction guy, so grabbed my dog and threw him in the back of the truck and went to go check on my job sites. And I found myself at the top of the canyon. So isolation... is a pretty powerful thing. It could be very negative. It could be positive as well.

I isolated myself from a lot of people during that moment. And it wasn't even a planned thing. I was sitting at the top of the canyon watching my dog run around with all the joy in the world. Looking at the beautiful scenery, the trees, the valley. And it's always kind of intrigued me because I don't necessarily have the answer of why that moment happened.
