A masterpiece of oratory too. Very thorough, worth listening to.

Thank-you for putting this link up. I loved his explanation of big T truth. I was pissing myself laughing as he told that story because it's so relatable. I was disappointed the audience just sat in stony silence. I guess you need to be autistic to understand it. No wonder we have trouble relating to the natives .

I noticed that in part 2, before his microphone fully connected or whatever technical adjustments were made,
you can hear the audience. I think the technology isolated his voice for us to hear more clearly, just the microphone, as sometimes I do see the audience's heads moving as if with laughter or increased interest (leaning forward).

Nice link! I'll enjoy watching the whole thing after work here. And he's an Aspie too.

Is there a transcript somewhere? It'll be so much faster to read it than listen to something 80+ mins long.

No, but it is well worth the time, over a few days, in increments, if you are willing to.

It really is worth watching the entire YouTube video guys. I know there are a few of us who have ADHD, myself included, so sitting still for 80+ minutes may seem daunting but it is well worth it. You need to force yourself to watch this but move around while doing so if you need to, like I did.

The fact that this psychologist is Autistic too shows that he knows exactly what he's talking about and it really helps to understand his viewpoint and our viewpoints.

Again thanks for the link, blooiejagwa!
