And I think that that's why ultimately, even though I went into it kicking and screaming, working as a therapist, was the equivalent of breaking into homes. Only I was going into their minds and they were opening the door for me. I find neurotypical people to be really interesting. I enjoy hearing about what's going on and your reactions to things and how you react to them.

So I think before I really understood that I was going into those houses because I liked seeing I liked looking through people's windows. I used to do that as a kid, just stand there. Yeah, I could have stood there all night just watching these normal interactions play out and without having the pressure of a reaction or a connection. It's like, no, I'm just interested. This is interesting.

I mean, yes, but listen, I don't want to, as much as I appreciate the compliment, I don't want to give my young self too much credit because for a long time, I would have done just about anything to have assimilated.

But there was always, you know, again, I realized really quickly that I was different and that the fastest way to sort of separate myself from society, from friends, from family was to admit these things. And that's, I think, the big misconception about the anti-social personalities, like that we are anti-social. No, no, I'm all for society. I'm all for comfort and collaboration.

I'm just against your rules of engagement. That's where I differ. And I think what kicked in for me was just rebellion. And that once I sort of understood my personality type, once I had a better understanding of what that meant and what I, like the normalization of how I was or was not feeling, that's really when it was, yeah, I'm not going to be like you.
