I have something exciting. I want to introduce
a product unlike any other product available.
A highlight is the product from Daylight Computer
Company created their product based on these
factors. The Daylight Computer is completely
blue light free. It has no flicker. Short wavelength
flicker is extremely harmful for our eyes. and
downstream biology, light flicker is constantly
turning our central nervous system on and off.
Essentially, it is like going to a light switch
and repeatedly turning it on and off. The problem
is, blue light and LED light does this, and it
is so rapid you cannot even perceive this in
real time. The daylight computer is the lowest
stimulation and foremost for sensory sensitive
users. It is no question that the alternative
product, especially when used at night, do not
address or consider this in their product. It
is so toxic to human biology. Big tech corporations
have patents. on how their short wavelength implicate
the human nervous system. And a bonus, despite
daylight computer not having backlight, it is
very functional for outdoor use. And of course,
increased sunlight is always preferred. I am
happy to offer a discount for the daylight computer.

to cover the relationship of two prominent phenotypes
or so -called symptoms of autism. In the DSM,
these two symptoms are listed in criteria B or
the restricted repetitive patterns of behavior,
interest, or activities. Just a side note, the
DSM outlines the person must meet two of the
four criteria B symptoms. Those two symptoms
are B2 and B3. For today's episode, we will cover
the relationship of B2 and B3. Before we begin,
there are two early episodes for each criteria
sets. Two for criteria A, the social communication
and interaction components, and two episodes
for criteria B. Those episodes are episode two,
what is autism? Deficits in social communication
and interaction. And episode six, what is autism?
Part two of criteria A. Can you fit in or not?
Are you like the so -called normal people? or
not? In episode one, what is autism, restricted
and repetitive behaviors? In episode seven, what
is autism part two of criteria B? Will the so
-called normal people accept our differences
or not? In addition, there is an episode dedicated
to B3. B3 is the core. of autism. In addition,
at minimum, criteria B accelerates, influences,
or maybe even creates the criteria A components
of the autistic phenotype. Okay, criteria B2,
or symptom B2, it reads in the DSM file, insistence
on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines,
or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal
behavior. Examples given, extreme distress at
small changes, difficulties with transitions,
rigid thinking patterns, greeting rituals, need
to take the same route or eat the same food every
day. and symptom B3, highly restricted, fixated
interest that are abnormal in intensity or focus.
Again, with this abnormal to describe an interest
and its intensity or focus. It's all very trash
to me. Examples given here for B3, strong attachment
to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively
circumscribed or perseverate of interest. So,
circumscribed essentially means restrict something
within limits. Perseverative means repetition,
getting stuck, including the speech, similar
to the egolalia. Okay, so in episodes and a lot
of ex -posts, I mentioned the Kenner kids and
Asperger kids, or he called those kids little
professors. A significant amount of Asperger
paper talked about autistic intelligence. This
is huge and it is accurate. The Kenner kids and
Asperger kids were very, very similar, especially
on this fixated interest. The fixated interest
and this lack of care or desire, the lack of
interaction to the environment is what took those
parents to seek help to understand what is happening
with their child, because it's very abnormal.
It is always worth mentioning over and over and
over again, maybe a cool and needed use of perseverative
is the echolalia. Autism, autist, autistic comes
from autos, which means self. It seems complicated
for people to understand that, to understand
autism. Mainly because of the nefarious infiltration
to create confusion. The confusion cushions the
nefarious actions. Regardless, definitions have
been changed and humans love definitions. We
love to label things. We love to manipulate things
so we can make sense of it. We hate When we cannot
make sense of things, it offends us. It offends
our beliefs. And we also do not like when our
capacity to think and understand of things is
challenged or questioned or hits our limitations.
Well, guess what? All of that makes us uncomfortable,
makes humans uncomfortable. Well, guess what?
Autistics don't mind. We are comfortable there.
The biology that gives us autism allows us to
be comfortable within ourselves. Now here, we
could talk about the internal states and state
shifts, such as does the individual cause the
state shift or does something from the outside
cause it? We are talking about the central nervous
system, and learning. We are talking about learning.
Another learning method from the outside is one
-trial learning. We are talking about the living
organism being comfortable learning. In the autistic
intelligence, the preferred state, preferred
environment is within. The self. People overlook
this and it's very frustrating. All of that confusion
with what is autism? The outside factors, or
as I call them, the external insults, are barriers.
Social norms are barriers and harmful. Now another
form of learning is, of course, repetition. Don
Hepp studied this, the so -called Hebbian learning.
This strengthens synaptic connections associated
with that activity, that stimuli. This is easy
here. This is going to be so easy to understand.
Autistics and repetition. Autistics and that
innate internal world. We are constantly professing
to ourselves, understanding, teaching, and learning
theory. Professing accelerates learning and understanding.
Being willing to allow yourself to go there,
allow yourself to understand things. Richard
Feynman, look up his quotes and interviews. Autistics
spend so much time professing to ourselves about
limited topics. Limited here is a question. Who
determines that? The so -called restricted interest.
Society says have a little knowledge about a
little bit of everything or as much as possible.
with a variety of topics. Here is one. Here is
one source. As much as centralized controllers
tell society what to know, they tell us what
we should know. Centralized education is a significant
example. Learn these topics. Learn this curriculum.
And then what? it prepares the growing person
for what? What does it provide? Easy pass here.
I'll learn and study my interest. I will be a
knowledgeable person on things I love, I find
fascinating, and I will spend as much intensity
or focus as I want to those restricted, fixated
interests. You call it abnormal. Get it? How
and why are others determining what someone else
loves? This is wild to me. In union psychology
and spiritual teachings even, our daemon determines
our love, our direction, our path. So many people
in society lack and they struggle to, they're
just constantly struggling. They lack finding
their love. We can even mention things like self
-actualization from Maslow or Rogers here, when
your true self is congruent with your ideal self.
The person determines that. Nobody else should
determine that. Humans are ignorant like this.
But no surprise, other people are telling other
people what to do. We have that ego. This is
a part of autism and education as well. Those
four know fewer than four contrasts to the autistic
phenotype and the classroom. The people determining
these new changes and manipulated definitions
of autism want to control want to limit and or
are simply confused and unable to understand,
in large part based on those human components
mentioned earlier. We hate when we can't figure
things out. With the relationship of B3 and it
being a contrast to the outside world, I suspect
and it is unknown to me if the lack of orienting
to the environment. The lack of care creates
and or strengthens or accelerates that preferred
fixation of interest. And it is safe to assume.
I'm okay with assuming here that it really implicates
the socialness. Remember the episodes on the
mesencephalon. There are a couple of episodes
hitting on the mesencephalon, also known as the
midbrain. autism in eye movements, and two episodes
on neuroepithelial, like the neural relation
and the embryogenesis and so forth. Remember,
the mesencephalon does not further subdivide
like the other cell types during this embryogenesis
stage. And the mesencephalon is very, very small.
Its three primary roles is motor movement, sensory
integration, And based off of those two, biasing
the attention of the living organism to its environment
is trying to help the living organism move about
through the environment. If you are not comfortable
within yourself, you will resist. You will struggle.
Create habitual actions to deflect that back
to your comfort, your baseline. your homeostasis.
That is what the central nervous system prefers.
This comfort, this ability, this bias of our
central nervous system is why I have a superpower
within the title. This can happen. This is possible.
And as long as you understand yourself and as
long as you are not receiving detrimental external
insults. This is a problem with society and the
fixated interests that autistics can endure.
We can become very knowledgeable and so -called
experts even though I'd really dislike the word
expert. It seems like autistics, the original
autistic phenotype, they have this superpower
this super ability just to learn and be comfortable
with learning things however those social norms
those other people likely with internal conflict
on their own because most people have that no
all people kind of have that is just how much
is that interfering with themselves and how much
they project that outwards Humans love to do
that and remember the environments, society,
etc. How many of those are optimal for autistics?
I would like to mention Chroma, lights designed
for humans. Chroma, a Seattle -based innovator
founded by ex -NASA and Air Force engineer Michael
Shapiro. is on a mission to enhance physical
and mental health with purpose -built devices,
unlocking peak human health, cognitive function,
and performance. Shapiro launched Chroma to restore
the natural light lost to screens and indoor
living, and delivers faster recovery, sharper
minds, and better sleep. Their products hit hard.
The Iron Forge speeds muscle repair with red
and near -infrared light, while the skylight
mimics sunlight to boost sleep and energy. A
standout, the Forge Lamp, is a portable gem that
fires 660 nanometer and 850 nanometer light to
energize mitochondria and heal tissues on the
go. Remember the four red -light chromophores
on cytochrome c -oxidase frequently talked about
in the podcast? This is why. Their products are
built with military -grade durability that have
lasting impact. Chroma's tech fuses precision
and power. Gallium titride power supplies. Smaller,
cooler and stronger than silicone. provide flicker
-free light that's easy on the eyes. High -powered
LEDs target key wavelengths for skin, tissue,
and cellular health with smart heat management
for the lasting impact. Every design decision
Chroma makes serves a purpose to create devices
that are precise, durable, and effective for
improving human life. Remember, humans use different
wavelengths of light for different functions
of life. Remember when I ask, what do you think
light is? Cromwell designs with our biology in
mind. From sleep aids and wound healing to mitochondrial
energy, full body lights and blue light blocking
glasses. They are US made and chroma ships globally
and accepts FSA and HSA payments Use autism at

the routines Not frequently discussed previously
in the podcast. This is that B2. How much interferences
are we receiving from the outside world? How
much time away from our internal world will there
be? Remember the brain is a prediction machine,
autistic or not. We are constantly predicting
what will happen to us and preparing for that.
The brain is also that metabolic bank accountant.
Do I have enough metabolic energy to navigate
that task? To undergo that task and what will
that look like for me? How long can I endure
that? How much biological energy will I use?
So this is the main takeaway here with the schedules
and routines, the insistence on sameness and
so forth. It's like how much insults from the
outside world. Am I going to have to kind of
endure here that's going to separate me from
the place I want to be in my internal world?
Or learning about a topic? Or have minimal social
interactions? This is fascinating too because
you know autistics. They can go on and on and
on about topics they love in social settings.
No social implications there. Isn't that interesting
to you? At 44, here are some things about me.
I don't like making plans. I don't like making
recurring schedules, having recurring meetings,
anything like that. It gets intense whenever
I'm tasked to kind of commit to a weekly schedule,
a weekly plan, add something in to my already
schedule. It is very debilitating. It's very
debilitating. It's the best way I can say it.
I don't like when those external insults are
added to me. And this is also going to explain
some of the kind of rigid thinking, of course,
because it's in the B2, but there are things
related here. Interacting with other people.
People are the most unpredictable things. Now
knowing what you know about autistic phenotype
and the being self -efficient self -sufficient
and recognizing patterns and understanding processes
You know that the autistic has kind of perfected
operations and when other people are involved
and they can't see What is efficient or properly
how to do things? that's very frustrating. However,
it's hard for us to kind of give leniency to,
because it comes pretty easy to us. And then
if shown to others, and they don't quite pick
up or change, understand it, it's very frustrating.
Something malfunctioning, something in our environment
or something we're using malfunctioning. Anything
not doing what it is supposed to do. It's role.
There's a set of rules. There's a rule set here.
There's an expectation here. This object is supposed
to do this function. This person is supposed
to do this thing in this setting or environment.
If something like that is disrupted or changed,
that is a very big problem. And remember the
autism and adaptive responses episode. The medial
prefrontal cortex here is a big thing. It's involvement
here with being able to be flexible in the environment
and provide healthy adaptive responses when something
unexpected occurs. That's a big problem with
the autistic phenotype and within the autistic
phenotype's neurobiology. Set schedules allows
us to predict and understand and look forward
to our ability to get back into the things that
we want to be doing, that internal world or fixated
on an interest. If you're listening to the podcast,
