  You guys are awesome. Let's get stuck in right now,
• 1:24
  Guys, Aspergers and girls. Aspergers is a term that we
• 1:27
  don't really use anymore. We use kind of like lower
• 1:29
  support needs autism spectrum disorder.
• 1:31
  It's a bit of a whirlwinded way of saying it, but the reasons
• 1:34
  for this. However, we're here to talk
• 1:36
  about the role of therapy in helping autism, right?
• 1:39
  So The thing is, you can't cure autism.
• 1:41
  Autism is a incurable neurological developmental
• 1:43
  condition, but you can treat symptomatic issues of autism
• 1:47
  right? So one of the things I would say
• 1:49
  is therapy is the best way to do this.
• 1:51
  I do take medication and I have therapy now.
• 1:54
  I've had all kinds of therapy from in person counseling to
• 1:57
  digital counseling over my using my iPhone with an app called
• 2:00
  Better Help, which FYI guys, I actually recommend.
• 2:03
  So if you are interested in checking out using an app to you
• 2:06
  know as your therapist you can talk on video or voice call or
• 2:10
  you can just text them better help is amazing because within
• 2:13
  24 to 48 hours they hooked me up with a specialist in autism and
• 2:16
  ADHD because you put new credentials is absolutely
• 2:19
  amazing and I did from the comfort of my own home.
• 2:20
  I was actually sat in bed at one point so it's amazing.
• 2:22
  I definitely recommend it. So check them out below.
• 2:24
  However, I've done all types of stuff occupational therapy all
• 2:27
  down to like intensive kind of like counseling.
• 2:29
  What I would say is that therapy is the quickest way for self
• 2:33
  realization and self knowingness, and when you have a
• 2:36
  therapist that works on things that are specific to you as a
• 2:40
  person, nothing compounds to it. You can take a medication which
• 2:44
  will take off some kind of issues and maybe take the edge
• 2:47
  off certain things like anxiety and depression and stuff like
• 2:49
  that. But when you say I have a
• 2:50
  problem in this area of my life, I need, you know, specific help
• 2:54
  in this one area. And a therapist says, hey, I can
• 2:57
  help you in that one area. You win every time.
• 3:00
  It's kind of like the golden ticket to realizing that one
• 3:03
  thing. So I actually work one-on-one
• 3:05
  with a lot of clients. I do coaching, so I coach people
• 3:07
  who, you know, so say you wanted to reach out to me now and know
• 3:10
  more about certain things. You'd e-mail me and say, Dan, I
• 3:12
  want to, you know, do coaching and I'd send you my coaching
• 3:14
  link and you book in and I work on a specific thing.
• 3:17
  Say you said to me, oh, I'm having a difficult time in the
• 3:20
  relationship with my partner, my spouse, and we work on those
• 3:23
  issues. So therapy actually has a very
• 3:25
  important role and actually has one of the most important roles.
• 3:28
  Yet. I think it's the least thought
• 3:30
  about thing when people think about autism.
• 3:32
  Because when you go online and you look for stuff and you read
• 3:34
  about things, reading and looking is one thing.
• 3:36
  But when you're actively getting tactile feedback, when you're
• 3:39
  sitting with somebody, when you're when you're trying stuff,
• 3:41
  when you're when you're getting told to do protocol and
• 3:43
  practices and you follow them through, you actually win every
• 3:46
  time you do that because practice makes progress and you
• 3:48
  win every time. Now, guys, I have a free Autism
• 3:51
  Wife has a PDF book at autismhacks.net that you can get
• 3:54

• 3:55
