That's a great interview. It's insightful where when he says that if he'd been diagnosed at a younger age, he might have accomplished a lot less due to the negative stereotypes around it and limitations people could have put on him.

Worth pointing out that there's a massive range on the spectrum - obviously a lot of people are going to have greater social difficulties than himself.

I'm not surprised Jimmy Butler hooked him up with this wife cause Jimmy probably should get tested too. :smile:

Hopefully in the next few years people will be better educated on autism, and they wont default to thinking someone is "a retard" and using it like a slur against people who think differently. every time i see someone default to "you autistic" to someone with a different idea shyt is :russ:

A lot of people are being diagnosed as autistic as adults.

One of the co-directors of Everything, Everywhere All At Once said the movie inspired him to get tested and he found out he was.

He had ADHD, my fault.

But adults are testing for autism, particularly after finding out their kids are autistic:

‘A lot fell into place’: the adults who discovered they were autistic – after their child was diagnosed

The recorded incidence of autism has increased 787% in 20 years. For many parents, getting help for an autistic child alerted them to their own traits
