• 2:03
  I'm outside helping me bring this to fruition.
• 2:05
  It's going to be amazing. You guys are awesome.
• 2:08
  Let's get us stuck in right now, guys.
• 2:10
  Aspergism, girls. Aspergism is a term that we
• 2:12
  don't really use anymore. We use kind of like lower
• 2:15
  support needs, autism spectrum disorder.
• 2:17
  It's a bit of a long winded way of saying it, but the reasons
• 2:19
  for this, however, we're here to talk about the role of therapy
• 2:22
  in helping autism, right? So The thing is, you can't cure
• 2:26
  autism. Autism is a incurable
• 2:28
  neurological developmental condition, but you can treat
• 2:30
  symptomatic issues of autism, right?
• 2:33
  So one of the things I would say is therapy is the best way to do
• 2:36
  this. I do take medication and I have
• 2:38
  therapy now. I've had all kinds of therapy
• 2:40
  from in person counselling to digital counselling over my
• 2:44
  using my iPhone with an app called Betterhelp, which FYI
• 2:47
  guys, I actually recommend. So if you are interested in
• 2:50
  checking out using an app to you know, as as your therapist, you
• 2:53
  can talk on video or or voice call, or you can just text them.
• 2:57
  Better help is amazing because within 24 to 48 hours, they
• 3:00
  hooked me up with a specialist in autism and ADHD because you
• 3:02
  put in your credentials. It's actually amazing.
• 3:05
  And I did it from the comfort of my own home.
• 3:06
  I was actually sat in bed at one point.
• 3:07
  So it's amazing. I definitely recommend it.
• 3:09
  So check them out below. However, I've done all types of
• 3:11
  stuff from occupational therapy all down to like intensive kind
• 3:14
  of like counselling. What I would say is that therapy
• 3:17
  is the quickest way for self realization and self
• 3:20
  knowingness. And when you have a therapist
• 3:22
  that works on things that are specific to you as a person,
• 3:26
  nothing compares to it. You can take a medication which
• 3:29
  will take off some kind of issues and maybe take the edge
• 3:32
  off certain things like anxiety and depression and stuff like
• 3:34
  that. But when you say I have a
• 3:36
  problem in this area of my life, I, I need specific help in this
• 3:40
  one area and a therapist says, hey, I can help you in that one
• 3:44
  area. You win every time.
• 3:45
  It's kind of like the golden ticket to realizing that one
• 3:48
  thing. So I actually work one-on-one
• 3:50
  with a lot of clients. I do coaching, so I coach
• 3:52
  people, you know, So say you wanted to reach out to me now
• 3:55
  and know more about certain things.
• 3:57
  You'd e-mail me and say, Dan, I want to do coaching and I'd send
• 3:59
  you my coaching link and you book in and I work on a specific
• 4:02
  thing. Say you said to me, oh, I'm
• 4:04
  having a difficult time in the relationship with my partner, my
• 4:07
  spouse, and we work on those issues.
• 4:09
  So therapy actually has a very important role and actually has
• 4:12
  one of the most important roles. Yeah.
• 4:14
  I think it's the least thought about thing when people think
• 4:16
  about autism because when you go online and you look for stuff
• 4:19
  and you read about things, reading and looking is one
• 4:21
  thing. But when you're actively getting
• 4:23
  tactile feedback, when you're sitting with somebody, when
• 4:25
  you're, when you're trying stuff, when you're when you're
• 4:27
  getting told to do protocol and practices and you follow them
• 4:29
  through, you actually win every time you do that because
• 4:32
  practice makes progress and you win every time.
• 4:35
