And when I would start talking too much or interrupt or ask a question that was off rhythm, he would tap his watch.
And that was my signal to stop talking.
and then to sort of bookmark that moment.
And later we would post game it, right?
We would go through, okay, so when Mr. Shapiro was talking about his kids, why'd you interrupt and ask him about how he gets sponsors at the Daily Wire?
Well, I don't know, dad, that was kind of interesting to me.
Okay, what could you have asked Mr. Shapiro about?
And then we would role play that conversation.
And then the flip side was, you know, I was severely bullied, ended up being taken out of three or four different schools, one scene in Born Lucky.
My dad comes to find me in fifth grade at I think my third elementary school.
And for the past month, they had put me with the girls.
So you can imagine a father looking out at PE fields, asking the PE teacher, how's this kid doing?
And realized that they put me with the girls to protect me.
From the bullying.
So it was also the flip side of that was he became sort of my only person and my only protector and friend.
So every night he and I'd spend a couple of hours together and he was sort of putting me back together from the emotional torture and isolation and bullying that happened every day.
Oh, it's a great point, Ben.
And you know, born lucky is not a prescription, it's not a cure.
And in the book, I equate autism a little bit like alcoholism.
You gotta work at it every day.
