• 0:46
  story. It was in the news recently
• 0:48
  actually and only in the last kind of wheat as a British
• 0:50
  comedian, who is from Scotland and a name, is Fern Brady.
• 0:54
  And she's quite famous. She does a BBC three podcast,
• 0:57
  which is quite a funny podcast and she's a comedian.
• 0:59
  She's sold out stuff like the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
• 1:01
  She saw that venues there for her comedy and stuff.
• 1:03
  And she's really funny girl. And, you know, a pretty good
• 1:06
  laugh, and she's awesome, but she's super famous actually, and
• 1:09
  she A great job and I'd love to interview it by the way.
• 1:11
  So if anybody knows her, I can reach out to her.
• 1:13
  Yeah. Well, I don't know, I want to
• 1:15
  interview that was super awesome.
• 1:16
  So she recently released a statement on Twitter that got
• 1:21
  like 20,000 likes saying that she had been diagnosed with an
• 1:26
  Autism Spectrum Disorder. Now, this is groundbreaking
• 1:28
  because nobody kind of expected this.
• 1:32
  You just kind of came out of the blue like, oh, fun Brady's
• 1:34
  autistic and I think it's super, super awesome.
• 1:37
  Now, the story of how it happened is kind of Typical, you
• 1:40
  know, she's a young girl who was diagnosed with OCD and I did
• 1:45
  explore personality, neurological conditions, all
• 1:47
  that kind of stuff when she was younger.
• 1:49
  I think she said between the ages of 11 and 15 and they then
• 1:52
  basically said all know, you're making eye contact.
• 1:54
  You can't possibly be autistic. I mean it just look I have a
• 2:00
  entire series all about girls and autism spectrum disorder.
• 2:03
  So I will leave a link for that playlist in the description
• 2:06
  below and I'll put it in a pin comments.
• 2:08
  You can check out that video. Playlist of all the videos.
• 2:10
  I've done talking to girls on the Spectrum, talking about
• 2:12
  girls on the Spectrum, everything to do that.
• 2:14
  You'll need to know about girls and Spectrum.
• 2:16
  One of them is that people can make eye contact and still be on
• 2:18
  the autism spectrum. It's not a, you make a contact.
• 2:21
  You can't be artistic kind of deal.
• 2:22
  It's the most ridiculous thing ever to think that.
• 2:25
  So Fern. Brady.
• 2:26
  She was, you know, happy that she had this diagnosis of OCD
• 2:31
  like, you know, okay. Well, okay, fine.
• 2:32
  I'm happy with that order, but then she realized that there was
• 2:34
  some other stuff going on and somebody kind of, you know,
• 2:37
  pushed, I think it was her hurts.
• 2:39
  When she's at her friends or her family, like, you know, maybe we
• 2:42
  should go and speak to a, you know, a doctor, ask for a
• 2:44
  referral, maybe get checked out. And so she was having these
• 2:47
  issues that were, that were, you know, parallel with that on the
• 2:50
  autism spectrum. So she goes to an assessment and
• 2:52
  then near the docks that yeah. It looks like you are
• 2:54
  potentially on the autism spectrum.
• 2:55
  But to form a formal diagnosis. One will have to go on to the
• 3:00
  NHS waiting list, which is about a year, maybe two years or you
• 3:03
  can go privately, you know, they're out there are options
• 3:05
  obviously. So she look a little bit like
• 3:07
  she was like, no. So she didn't To go to the NHS
• 3:10
  wingless because it takes far too long and understandably.
• 3:12
  So and if she has the money to go privately then why not?
• 3:15
  So she went privately to get a diagnosis and she was diagnosed
• 3:18
  autistic, which is kind of liberating deliberating on a few
• 3:20
  fronts. It's liberating for her because
• 3:22
  she's a young female, you know doing her thing and she is
• 3:26
  diagnosed autistic. And that's great.
• 3:28
  The other thing is that she is a you know personality a celebrity
• 3:32
  a person of kind of Public Image, which is good because you
• 3:36
  know it her story is one in like a And people who probably
• 3:40
  wouldn't even get that diagnosis name because it weight on his
• 3:43
  NHS weightless and then get forgotten about and all that
• 3:45
  kind of stuff which is just horrendous and nobody wants that
• 3:47
  to happen. And I think that she her showing
• 3:51
  her herself and her vulnerability and all that kind
• 3:53
  of jazz is just absolutely phenomenal.
• 3:55
  I think she's done. I think she's done a great job.
• 3:57
  I think she's a great candidate for showing people how you can
• 4:02
  have really good successful careers, entertainment creative,
• 4:06
  you know, young woman, killing it in the in the industry.
• 4:09
  She's and I think that's amazing.
• 4:10
  We should all salute her because like she's just doing a great
• 4:12
  job and it's great. It's inspiration for young girls
• 4:16
  who are grown up on the autism spectrum and I want to see,
• 4:18
  like, is there somebody who I look up to is there.
• 4:20
  Somebody who is killing it right now?
• 4:21
  I'm like, yeah, firm Brady's. Absolutely killing it.
• 4:24
  She's a beast. Like this is so dope.
• 4:26
  So in terms of that, I think that she's doing a great job and
• 4:29
  that. Yeah, this is just so
