This is an excellent talk. I will re-watch over the next few weeks. I’m 71 years old and if you can imagine…I’ve just realized in the last several weeks that I am definitely autistic. I’m greatly relieved and things are making more sense. I’m glad I adopted masking as a young lady because it helped me to have a rich work life and somewhat of a social life but oh, my!…when I look back on my childhood, adolescence, young adulthood…up until I met my wonderful husband, I was barely surviving. And even with him as my companion, and with our wonderful daughters (at least 2 of which are ‘on the spectrum’) so many awkward interactions with the world, and feeling faulty. For now, I’m not seeking a professional diagnosis, so your videos and some others on TH-cam are very helpful to help me sort out how this realization can play out.
Good morning🎉 I'll gladly rewatch this video. I started watching it prior to falling asleep late yesterday evening. The topic of the video is so rich. And welcome. No disdain for bounty here. Wealth of blessing is an economic management challenge in this slice of time. Recovering from what has been whilst accepting what is and contributing to what will be, I think is adequate occupation for this old girl. Thank you for your lovely contribution. I look forward to relistening for the purpose of considering alongside your words, my own experience of role modeling and conditioning. Like the experience of reading a good book, watching and listening to these videos are received fittingly companionably. I'm reminded of putting on the wedding garment of Christ or of wearing the armor spoken of by St. Paul. Also, the parable of Jesus about new wine in old skins. Cheerio and Happy Trails.

So glad to have your company on my journey and pleased to have the opportunity to play a small part in yours.
