It's a discipline.
Just a couple of months ago, I was playing golf with my father-in-law.
I was trying to get ready after the golf game to leave.
We were late.
One thing about autism, you become really task focused.
So I was trying to get my golf bag into the travel bag to leave.
And this older gentleman comes over to say hello to me.
I met him earlier in the day.
And he's trying to talk to me and autism, you become so task focused, you block everything out.
And that's what I was doing while I was packing my golf bag.
So at 43 years old, it was like I was eight years old again.
And I could hear the voice of my dad, Lucky, you need to stop.
You need to stand up, look Mr. So-and-so in the eye, talk to him.
And I could not do it.
It was sort of stunning to me and it just was soul crushing.
And I sent him a note later.
I found his phone number and just wrote a note.
I said, I just wanna apologize for being so rude to you.
He eventually just walked away from me because I wouldn't talk to him.
And in that note, I never once said, oh, by the way, I have autism.
