  A lot of people don't talk about this.
• 0:40
  It's really, really weird. Like, people did forget that
• 0:43
  girls can be on the Olson spectrum.
• 0:45
  Now, I know many girls who are on the Olson spectrum.
• 0:47
  Some of my closest friends are on the Olson spectrum and
• 0:49
  they're female. So my closest friends are on the

  So executive function, executive function is things like
• 1:10
  organizing and managing everyday tasks, everyday life.
• 1:12
  It could be organizing a list, go to the grocery store, it
• 1:15
  could be organizing your laundry, it could be organizing
• 1:18
  anything in your life that needs to be done.
• 1:20
  That's an executive function that you need to do to complete
• 1:23
  a life task. We're in on the Olson spectrum,
• 1:25
  just like Mills and Olson spectrum will have issues and
• 1:28
  it's called executive dysfunction.
• 1:30
  Now executive dysfunction is exactly what it says you're
• 1:32
  you're dysfunctioning from those executive functions, right.
• 1:35
  How we can help with this and and I mean this in the best way
• 1:38
  possible is technology people like, well, how does technology
• 1:41
  work? I'm all about getting results
• 1:44
  instantly, quickly and as fast as I possibly can.
• 1:47
  The best way to do this, the most efficient way to do this is
• 1:50
  with technology. Now we all have either a
• 1:52
  smartphone, a tablet or a smart device like an Alexa or a Google
• 1:56
  Home hub or you know one of the many things like a Siri Home
• 2:00
  hub. But there's so many voice first
• 2:02
  technologies as what they call these personal digital
• 2:04
  assistants we all have everywhere.
• 2:05
  By Alexis behind me here, yeah, she's that.
• 2:08
  And I use these all the type things like remembering to pick
• 2:12
  milk up from the store where we need to take your medication,
• 2:15
  remembering to pick up your dry cleaning or even your kids from
• 2:18
  school. All of those things can be
• 2:19
  scheduled. You just have to ask them.
• 2:21
  So using Voicefest technology, you say, hey Alexa, remind me to
• 2:25
  take my medication tomorrow at 9:00 PM.
• 2:27
  OK, I'll remind you tomorrow at 9:00 PM.
• 2:30
  There you go. Alexa, tell me now what I need
• 2:32
  to do is to take my medication at 9:00 PM tomorrow.
• 2:34
  It's as easy as that. The alert will actually come
• 2:36
  through to your phone and it's there in stone.
• 2:39
  You can even ask them to repeat this.
• 2:41
  Every single appointment that I have with a doctor or a
• 2:43
  specialist or anything like that, I have to ask my phone,
• 2:45
  Siri to put that in my calendar at a specific date, at a
• 2:48
  specific time and set an alarm. I just talk to them and they do
• 2:52
  that. This one hack of using voice
• 2:55
  first technology to eliminate stress from emotional
• 2:59
  dysfunction, executive dysfunction.
