• 0:45
  because it's my life's work. It's my mission in life to help
• 0:48
  you reach your potential as an autistic person, as somebody who
• 0:51
  advocates for autism. We're going to do this together.
• 0:53
  We're going to build a potential, a world, a future

  I want you to be there on my side, helping me bring this to
• 1:00
  fruition. It's going to be amazing.
• 1:02
  You guys are awesome. Let's get us stuck in right now,
• 1:05
  guys. Auspicious.
• 1:06
  And girls, auspicious is a term that we don't really use
• 1:08
  anymore. We use kind of like lower
• 1:10
  support needs, autism spectrum disorder.
• 1:12
  It's a bit of a long winded way of saying it, but the reasons
• 1:14
  for this, however, we're here to talk about the role of therapy
• 1:18
  in helping autism, right? So The thing is, you can't cure
• 1:21
  autism. Autism is a incurable
• 1:23
  neurological developmental condition, but you can treat
• 1:26
  symptomatic issues of autism, right?
• 1:28
  So one of the things I would say is therapy is the best way to do
• 1:31
  this. I do take medication and I have
• 1:33
  therapy now I've had all kinds of therapy from in person
• 1:37
  counselling to digital counselling over my using my
• 1:39
  iPhone with an app called better help, which FYI guys, I actually
• 1:43
  recommend. So if you are interested in
• 1:45
  checking out using an app to you know, as as your therapist, you
• 1:49
  can talk on video or or voice call or you can just text them.
• 1:52
  Better help is amazing because within 24 to 48 hours they hook
• 1:55
  me up with a specialist in autism and ADHD because you put
• 1:58
  in your credentials. It's absolutely amazing and I
• 2:00
  did from the comfort my own home.
• 2:01
  I was actually sat in bed at one point.
• 2:02
  So it's amazing. I definitely recommend it.
• 2:04
  So check them out below. However, I've done all types of
• 2:06
  stuff, occupational therapy, all down to like intensive kind of
• 2:09
  like counseling. What I would say is that therapy
• 2:12
  is the quickest way for self realization and self
• 2:15
  knowingness. And when you have a therapist
• 2:17
  that works on things that are specific to you as a person,
• 2:21
  nothing compares to it. You can take a medication which
• 2:24
  will take off some kind of issues and maybe take the edge
• 2:27
  off certain things like anxiety and depression and stuff like
• 2:30
  that. But when you say I have a
• 2:31
  problem in this area of my life, I, they need specific help in
• 2:35
  this one area and a therapist says, hey, I can help you in
• 2:39
  that one area. You win every time.
• 2:40
  It's kind of like the golden ticket to realizing that one
• 2:43
  thing. So I actually work one-on-one
• 2:45
  with a lot of clients. I do coaching, so I coach
• 2:47
  people, you know, So say you wanted to reach out to me now
• 2:50
  and know more about certain things.
• 2:52
  You'd e-mail me and say, Dan, I want to do coaching and I'd send
• 2:55
  you my coaching link and you book in and I work on a specific
• 2:58
  thing. Say you said to me, oh, I'm
• 2:59
  having a difficult time in the relationship with my partner, my
• 3:02
  spouse, and we work on those issues.
• 3:04
  So therapy actually has a very important role and actually has
• 3:07
  one of the most important roles. Yeah.
• 3:09
  I think it's the least thought about thing when people think
• 3:12
  about autism because when you go online and you look for stuff
• 3:14
  and you read about things, reading and looking is one
• 3:16
  thing. But when you're actively getting
• 3:18
  tactile feedback, when you're sitting with somebody, when
• 3:20
  you're, when you're trying stuff, when you're, when you're
• 3:22
  getting told to do protocol and practices and you follow them
• 3:25
  through, you actually win every time you do that because
• 3:28
  practice makes progress and you win every time.
