And I thought like that had never occurred to me.

And so I went and got an evaluation and ended up getting a diagnosis.

It used to be called Asperger's and now they call it autism one for whatever reason.

And

But that's another thing that shed a lot of light on whatever it is about my particular wiring that makes me, you know, that sort of allows for that paradox of being objectively, reasonably intelligent, yet also unable to see certain things that other people might have seen.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, and I can, again, and women, I think, are better at masking.

So people don't see it as easily.

You know, I can go out there and talk to people and nobody would necessarily think, oh, she has Asperger's.

But yet certain things, you know, certain things, I don't clock people's intentions as well as other people might, or it takes me a little bit longer sometimes to process things.

And I just walk into interactions and...

have a default setting that I trust people and that I assume that they would operate the way that I would, which is in good faith.

And so I just don't see, you know, there's a thing called betrayal blindness.

Yeah, and I mean, this wasn't an isolated event.

This has happened to me.

There's like that saying, you know, fool me once, shame on you.

But for me, it's like,

I have to take responsibility for the fact that this has happened to me over and over and over again.

And so I really have had to do a lot of deep analysis on understanding the how and the why.

I mean, even what happened with the filmmakers, I blindly trusted that they would make an accurate show and that they wouldn't have done something that was on the other side of it, such a betrayal.
