Hadn't heard of Tom before but great questions and they really brought out the interesting in Eric (which isn't particularly hard to do).
I think a lot of what Eric says about growing up with a learning disability (him and Bret both actually had it) and looking at it as a bit of a superpower with trade-offs, talking about the education system, I think there's a lot that people here with ASD could relate to.
Also I'd add - I really, really hope one of these days that he has an interview with Mark Blyth. They're both absolutely brilliant on economics and it would be fascinating to hear what kind of banter they'd scare up.
