And the getting through childhood is hard.

And you think and I thought this, let's just get to adulthood.

Let's just let you know, it's so hard.

It's hard making friends.

It's hard.

You know, all the social hurdles that you have to go through.

It's harder being an adult because all those programs are gone.

Yeah, that's right.

And so now you've got to figure it out really on your own.

And it's gotten a little better.

And there are, like I think about the school for...

teaching technology, how to do, you know, create games and all the things at Nonpareil Institute, which is in Plano.

And I think they have some other campuses as well.

And we'll put their link.

But it's just for adults on the spectrum.

They have to be post-high school to be able to go there.

There are...

places where they can get a job and you can talk about the texas workforce how they help with that but there's places like biddy and bo's which is a coffee shop and um there's hugs cafe in mckinney you know those are just little local places same types of things in your communities those of you yes and you have to go look for those but you got to look for them that's

Yeah.

And then there are other adult just social programs.
