WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.720 I have something exciting. I want to introduce 00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:05.599 a product unlike any other product available. 00:00:06.620 --> 00:00:11.099 A highlight is the product from Daylight Computer 00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:14.599 Company created their product based on these 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.579 factors. The Daylight Computer is completely 00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:25.059 blue light free. It has no flicker. Short wavelength 00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:29.730 flicker is extremely harmful for our eyes. and 00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:33.490 downstream biology, light flicker is constantly 00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:37.210 turning our central nervous system on and off. 00:00:38.109 --> 00:00:41.490 Essentially, it is like going to a light switch 00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:45.890 and repeatedly turning it on and off. The problem 00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:51.890 is, blue light and LED light does this, and it 00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:55.170 is so rapid you cannot even perceive this in 00:00:55.170 --> 00:01:00.619 real time. The daylight computer is the lowest 00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:04.599 stimulation and foremost for sensory sensitive 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:09.879 users. It is no question that the alternative 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:15.180 product, especially when used at night, do not 00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:19.599 address or consider this in their product. It 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.540 is so toxic to human biology. Big tech corporations 00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:29.260 have patents. on how their short wavelength implicate 00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:34.879 the human nervous system. And a bonus, despite 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.980 daylight computer not having backlight, it is 00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:43.319 very functional for outdoor use. And of course, 00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:49.200 increased sunlight is always preferred. I am 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.560 happy to offer a discount for the daylight computer. 00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:58.930 You can use the code Autism. For a $25 off coupon 00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:04.569 Again use the code autism and the discount code 00:02:04.569 --> 00:02:09.830 for $25 off See the link in the show notes to 00:02:09.830 --> 00:02:12.909 Daylight Computer Company or just give it a quick 00:02:12.909 --> 00:02:17.030 search in your internet browser Use the code 00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:24.090 autism for $25 off For today's episode I want 00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:28.669 to cover the relationship of two prominent phenotypes 00:02:28.669 --> 00:02:34.870 or so -called symptoms of autism. In the DSM, 00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:39.349 these two symptoms are listed in criteria B or 00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:43.889 the restricted repetitive patterns of behavior, 00:02:44.569 --> 00:02:50.590 interest, or activities. Just a side note, the 00:02:50.590 --> 00:02:54.719 DSM outlines the person must meet two of the 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.319 four criteria B symptoms. Those two symptoms 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:06.580 are B2 and B3. For today's episode, we will cover 00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:13.139 the relationship of B2 and B3. Before we begin, 00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:17.199 there are two early episodes for each criteria 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.259 sets. Two for criteria A, the social communication 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.039 and interaction components, and two episodes 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:31.520 for criteria B. Those episodes are episode two, 00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:35.860 what is autism? Deficits in social communication 00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:41.300 and interaction. And episode six, what is autism? 00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:47.479 Part two of criteria A. Can you fit in or not? 00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:52.120 Are you like the so -called normal people? or 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:58.099 not? In episode one, what is autism, restricted 00:03:58.099 --> 00:04:02.800 and repetitive behaviors? In episode seven, what 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.840 is autism part two of criteria B? Will the so 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.979 -called normal people accept our differences 00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:16.040 or not? In addition, there is an episode dedicated 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:23.519 to B3. B3 is the core. of autism. In addition, 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.339 at minimum, criteria B accelerates, influences, 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.199 or maybe even creates the criteria A components 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:42.060 of the autistic phenotype. Okay, criteria B2, 00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:49.399 or symptom B2, it reads in the DSM file, insistence 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.379 on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.600 or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:04.060 behavior. Examples given, extreme distress at 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:07.800 small changes, difficulties with transitions, 00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:13.500 rigid thinking patterns, greeting rituals, need 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:17.540 to take the same route or eat the same food every 00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:24.569 day. and symptom B3, highly restricted, fixated 00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:29.509 interest that are abnormal in intensity or focus. 00:05:30.629 --> 00:05:35.509 Again, with this abnormal to describe an interest 00:05:35.509 --> 00:05:40.670 and its intensity or focus. It's all very trash 00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:46.430 to me. Examples given here for B3, strong attachment 00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:52.860 to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively 00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:59.339 circumscribed or perseverate of interest. So, 00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:03.920 circumscribed essentially means restrict something 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:10.339 within limits. Perseverative means repetition, 00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:15.680 getting stuck, including the speech, similar 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:23.160 to the egolalia. Okay, so in episodes and a lot 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.579 of ex -posts, I mentioned the Kenner kids and 00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:31.660 Asperger kids, or he called those kids little 00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:36.220 professors. A significant amount of Asperger 00:06:36.220 --> 00:06:41.480 paper talked about autistic intelligence. This 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:47.360 is huge and it is accurate. The Kenner kids and 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.339 Asperger kids were very, very similar, especially 00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:56.040 on this fixated interest. The fixated interest 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:01.060 and this lack of care or desire, the lack of 00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:05.600 interaction to the environment is what took those 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.819 parents to seek help to understand what is happening 00:07:10.819 --> 00:07:13.639 with their child, because it's very abnormal. 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.720 It is always worth mentioning over and over and 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.800 over again, maybe a cool and needed use of perseverative 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:35.500 is the echolalia. Autism, autist, autistic comes 00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:42.120 from autos, which means self. It seems complicated 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.879 for people to understand that, to understand 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:50.560 autism. Mainly because of the nefarious infiltration 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.279 to create confusion. The confusion cushions the 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.879 nefarious actions. Regardless, definitions have 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.839 been changed and humans love definitions. We 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.579 love to label things. We love to manipulate things 00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:15.149 so we can make sense of it. We hate When we cannot 00:08:15.149 --> 00:08:19.930 make sense of things, it offends us. It offends 00:08:19.930 --> 00:08:24.769 our beliefs. And we also do not like when our 00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:29.569 capacity to think and understand of things is 00:08:29.569 --> 00:08:34.690 challenged or questioned or hits our limitations. 00:08:36.090 --> 00:08:40.429 Well, guess what? All of that makes us uncomfortable, 00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:44.960 makes humans uncomfortable. Well, guess what? 00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:49.899 Autistics don't mind. We are comfortable there. 00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:53.240 The biology that gives us autism allows us to 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.299 be comfortable within ourselves. Now here, we 00:08:58.299 --> 00:09:02.399 could talk about the internal states and state 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.740 shifts, such as does the individual cause the 00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:09.019 state shift or does something from the outside 00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:13.519 cause it? We are talking about the central nervous 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:19.299 system, and learning. We are talking about learning. 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.820 Another learning method from the outside is one 00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:28.080 -trial learning. We are talking about the living 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.559 organism being comfortable learning. In the autistic 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:38.419 intelligence, the preferred state, preferred 00:09:38.419 --> 00:09:45.059 environment is within. The self. People overlook 00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:49.159 this and it's very frustrating. All of that confusion 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:55.139 with what is autism? The outside factors, or 00:09:55.139 --> 00:10:00.500 as I call them, the external insults, are barriers. 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.159 Social norms are barriers and harmful. Now another 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:12.429 form of learning is, of course, repetition. Don 00:10:12.429 --> 00:10:16.470 Hepp studied this, the so -called Hebbian learning. 00:10:17.750 --> 00:10:21.529 This strengthens synaptic connections associated 00:10:21.529 --> 00:10:27.929 with that activity, that stimuli. This is easy 00:10:27.929 --> 00:10:31.730 here. This is going to be so easy to understand. 00:10:31.990 --> 00:10:37.450 Autistics and repetition. Autistics and that 00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:44.049 innate internal world. We are constantly professing 00:10:44.049 --> 00:10:49.149 to ourselves, understanding, teaching, and learning 00:10:49.149 --> 00:10:54.590 theory. Professing accelerates learning and understanding. 00:10:56.149 --> 00:10:59.870 Being willing to allow yourself to go there, 00:11:00.870 --> 00:11:04.889 allow yourself to understand things. Richard 00:11:04.889 --> 00:11:10.120 Feynman, look up his quotes and interviews. Autistics 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.799 spend so much time professing to ourselves about 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:21.320 limited topics. Limited here is a question. Who 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:26.340 determines that? The so -called restricted interest. 00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:31.159 Society says have a little knowledge about a 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.600 little bit of everything or as much as possible. 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:41.080 with a variety of topics. Here is one. Here is 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.820 one source. As much as centralized controllers 00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:50.159 tell society what to know, they tell us what 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:55.240 we should know. Centralized education is a significant 00:11:55.240 --> 00:12:00.840 example. Learn these topics. Learn this curriculum. 00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:04.950 And then what? it prepares the growing person 00:12:04.950 --> 00:12:11.049 for what? What does it provide? Easy pass here. 00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:15.129 I'll learn and study my interest. I will be a 00:12:15.129 --> 00:12:18.730 knowledgeable person on things I love, I find 00:12:18.730 --> 00:12:22.490 fascinating, and I will spend as much intensity 00:12:22.490 --> 00:12:27.409 or focus as I want to those restricted, fixated 00:12:27.409 --> 00:12:34.600 interests. You call it abnormal. Get it? How 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.720 and why are others determining what someone else 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.340 loves? This is wild to me. In union psychology 00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:47.659 and spiritual teachings even, our daemon determines 00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:55.600 our love, our direction, our path. So many people 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:59.919 in society lack and they struggle to, they're 00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:02.970 just constantly struggling. They lack finding 00:13:02.970 --> 00:13:07.990 their love. We can even mention things like self 00:13:07.990 --> 00:13:11.750 -actualization from Maslow or Rogers here, when 00:13:11.750 --> 00:13:16.289 your true self is congruent with your ideal self. 00:13:18.269 --> 00:13:21.330 The person determines that. Nobody else should 00:13:21.330 --> 00:13:25.549 determine that. Humans are ignorant like this. 00:13:26.009 --> 00:13:28.769 But no surprise, other people are telling other 00:13:28.769 --> 00:13:35.889 people what to do. We have that ego. This is 00:13:35.889 --> 00:13:40.730 a part of autism and education as well. Those 00:13:40.730 --> 00:13:44.490 four know fewer than four contrasts to the autistic 00:13:44.490 --> 00:13:50.529 phenotype and the classroom. The people determining 00:13:50.529 --> 00:13:55.610 these new changes and manipulated definitions 00:13:55.610 --> 00:14:00.779 of autism want to control want to limit and or 00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:04.820 are simply confused and unable to understand, 00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:08.799 in large part based on those human components 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.620 mentioned earlier. We hate when we can't figure 00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:19.320 things out. With the relationship of B3 and it 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:24.259 being a contrast to the outside world, I suspect 00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:28.620 and it is unknown to me if the lack of orienting 00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:32.500 to the environment. The lack of care creates 00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:37.419 and or strengthens or accelerates that preferred 00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:42.019 fixation of interest. And it is safe to assume. 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.960 I'm okay with assuming here that it really implicates 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.860 the socialness. Remember the episodes on the 00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:53.019 mesencephalon. There are a couple of episodes 00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:56.080 hitting on the mesencephalon, also known as the 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:01.240 midbrain. autism in eye movements, and two episodes 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.519 on neuroepithelial, like the neural relation 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.000 and the embryogenesis and so forth. Remember, 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.779 the mesencephalon does not further subdivide 00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:14.899 like the other cell types during this embryogenesis 00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:19.120 stage. And the mesencephalon is very, very small. 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.700 Its three primary roles is motor movement, sensory 00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:29.500 integration, And based off of those two, biasing 00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:33.360 the attention of the living organism to its environment 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.779 is trying to help the living organism move about 00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:42.320 through the environment. If you are not comfortable 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:46.139 within yourself, you will resist. You will struggle. 00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:50.600 Create habitual actions to deflect that back 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:56.450 to your comfort, your baseline. your homeostasis. 00:15:56.710 --> 00:16:00.450 That is what the central nervous system prefers. 00:16:01.350 --> 00:16:05.889 This comfort, this ability, this bias of our 00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:11.610 central nervous system is why I have a superpower 00:16:11.610 --> 00:16:17.110 within the title. This can happen. This is possible. 00:16:17.669 --> 00:16:21.029 And as long as you understand yourself and as 00:16:21.029 --> 00:16:26.139 long as you are not receiving detrimental external 00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:30.179 insults. This is a problem with society and the 00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:33.440 fixated interests that autistics can endure. 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:39.559 We can become very knowledgeable and so -called 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.279 experts even though I'd really dislike the word 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:48.460 expert. It seems like autistics, the original 00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:52.179 autistic phenotype, they have this superpower 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.879 this super ability just to learn and be comfortable 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.980 with learning things however those social norms 00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:06.160 those other people likely with internal conflict 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.819 on their own because most people have that no 00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:13.539 all people kind of have that is just how much 00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:18.480 is that interfering with themselves and how much 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.819 they project that outwards Humans love to do 00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:26.240 that and remember the environments, society, 00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:31.859 etc. How many of those are optimal for autistics? 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.119 I would like to mention Chroma, lights designed 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:43.519 for humans. Chroma, a Seattle -based innovator 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:48.480 founded by ex -NASA and Air Force engineer Michael 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.289 Shapiro. is on a mission to enhance physical 00:17:52.289 --> 00:17:57.029 and mental health with purpose -built devices, 00:17:57.809 --> 00:18:01.450 unlocking peak human health, cognitive function, 00:18:01.910 --> 00:18:06.329 and performance. Shapiro launched Chroma to restore 00:18:06.329 --> 00:18:09.950 the natural light lost to screens and indoor 00:18:09.950 --> 00:18:14.589 living, and delivers faster recovery, sharper 00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:19.029 minds, and better sleep. Their products hit hard. 00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:23.470 The Iron Forge speeds muscle repair with red 00:18:23.470 --> 00:18:27.089 and near -infrared light, while the skylight 00:18:27.089 --> 00:18:32.670 mimics sunlight to boost sleep and energy. A 00:18:32.670 --> 00:18:36.750 standout, the Forge Lamp, is a portable gem that 00:18:36.750 --> 00:18:44.269 fires 660 nanometer and 850 nanometer light to 00:18:44.269 --> 00:18:48.230 energize mitochondria and heal tissues on the 00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:51.680 go. Remember the four red -light chromophores 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.240 on cytochrome c -oxidase frequently talked about 00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:00.279 in the podcast? This is why. Their products are 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.380 built with military -grade durability that have 00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:09.779 lasting impact. Chroma's tech fuses precision 00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:16.740 and power. Gallium titride power supplies. Smaller, 00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:20.900 cooler and stronger than silicone. provide flicker 00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:25.039 -free light that's easy on the eyes. High -powered 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.480 LEDs target key wavelengths for skin, tissue, 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.359 and cellular health with smart heat management 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.400 for the lasting impact. Every design decision 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.599 Chroma makes serves a purpose to create devices 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:46.339 that are precise, durable, and effective for 00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:51.329 improving human life. Remember, humans use different 00:19:51.329 --> 00:19:54.289 wavelengths of light for different functions 00:19:54.289 --> 00:20:00.410 of life. Remember when I ask, what do you think 00:20:00.410 --> 00:20:07.009 light is? Cromwell designs with our biology in 00:20:07.009 --> 00:20:12.049 mind. From sleep aids and wound healing to mitochondrial 00:20:12.049 --> 00:20:16.109 energy, full body lights and blue light blocking 00:20:16.109 --> 00:20:21.190 glasses. They are US made and chroma ships globally 00:20:21.190 --> 00:20:30.329 and accepts FSA and HSA payments Use autism at 00:20:30.329 --> 00:20:36.069 checkout for a 10 % off discount That's autism 00:20:36.069 --> 00:20:43.970 at checkout for a 10 % off discount So the schedules 00:20:43.970 --> 00:20:48.240 the routines Not frequently discussed previously 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.400 in the podcast. This is that B2. How much interferences 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.279 are we receiving from the outside world? How 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:01.420 much time away from our internal world will there 00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:05.319 be? Remember the brain is a prediction machine, 00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:08.880 autistic or not. We are constantly predicting 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.299 what will happen to us and preparing for that. 00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:15.769 The brain is also that metabolic bank accountant. 00:21:16.170 --> 00:21:19.190 Do I have enough metabolic energy to navigate 00:21:19.190 --> 00:21:23.170 that task? To undergo that task and what will 00:21:23.170 --> 00:21:26.609 that look like for me? How long can I endure 00:21:26.609 --> 00:21:31.430 that? How much biological energy will I use? 00:21:32.390 --> 00:21:36.589 So this is the main takeaway here with the schedules 00:21:36.589 --> 00:21:39.069 and routines, the insistence on sameness and 00:21:39.069 --> 00:21:43.599 so forth. It's like how much insults from the 00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.259 outside world. Am I going to have to kind of 00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:51.200 endure here that's going to separate me from 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.259 the place I want to be in my internal world? 00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:59.279 Or learning about a topic? Or have minimal social 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.539 interactions? This is fascinating too because 00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:05.420 you know autistics. They can go on and on and 00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:08.140 on about topics they love in social settings. 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:13.259 No social implications there. Isn't that interesting 00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:17.980 to you? At 44, here are some things about me. 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.160 I don't like making plans. I don't like making 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.079 recurring schedules, having recurring meetings, 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.940 anything like that. It gets intense whenever 00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:33.880 I'm tasked to kind of commit to a weekly schedule, 00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:38.099 a weekly plan, add something in to my already 00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:43.500 schedule. It is very debilitating. It's very 00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:46.779 debilitating. It's the best way I can say it. 00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:51.579 I don't like when those external insults are 00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:55.660 added to me. And this is also going to explain 00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:59.200 some of the kind of rigid thinking, of course, 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.400 because it's in the B2, but there are things 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.339 related here. Interacting with other people. 00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:11.109 People are the most unpredictable things. Now 00:23:11.109 --> 00:23:13.730 knowing what you know about autistic phenotype 00:23:13.730 --> 00:23:19.390 and the being self -efficient self -sufficient 00:23:19.390 --> 00:23:22.970 and recognizing patterns and understanding processes 00:23:22.970 --> 00:23:28.710 You know that the autistic has kind of perfected 00:23:28.710 --> 00:23:32.690 operations and when other people are involved 00:23:32.690 --> 00:23:37.490 and they can't see What is efficient or properly 00:23:37.490 --> 00:23:42.190 how to do things? that's very frustrating. However, 00:23:42.470 --> 00:23:46.490 it's hard for us to kind of give leniency to, 00:23:46.829 --> 00:23:50.089 because it comes pretty easy to us. And then 00:23:50.089 --> 00:23:53.289 if shown to others, and they don't quite pick 00:23:53.289 --> 00:23:57.309 up or change, understand it, it's very frustrating. 00:23:59.190 --> 00:24:02.970 Something malfunctioning, something in our environment 00:24:02.970 --> 00:24:05.890 or something we're using malfunctioning. Anything 00:24:05.890 --> 00:24:10.019 not doing what it is supposed to do. It's role. 00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:14.980 There's a set of rules. There's a rule set here. 00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:19.319 There's an expectation here. This object is supposed 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.619 to do this function. This person is supposed 00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:26.519 to do this thing in this setting or environment. 00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:30.319 If something like that is disrupted or changed, 00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:34.339 that is a very big problem. And remember the 00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:38.460 autism and adaptive responses episode. The medial 00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:43.140 prefrontal cortex here is a big thing. It's involvement 00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:47.880 here with being able to be flexible in the environment 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:52.839 and provide healthy adaptive responses when something 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.680 unexpected occurs. That's a big problem with 00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.640 the autistic phenotype and within the autistic 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:04.900 phenotype's neurobiology. Set schedules allows 00:25:04.900 --> 00:25:07.920 us to predict and understand and look forward 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:12.039 to our ability to get back into the things that 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:16.079 we want to be doing, that internal world or fixated 00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:21.299 on an interest.
