• 1:21
  Like, let's get gored. All right, guys, First things
• 1:25
  first, girls in the autism spectrum exist.
• 1:27
  A lot of people don't talk about this.
• 1:29
  It's really, really weird. Like people did forget that
• 1:32
  girls can be on the autism spectrum.
• 1:34
  Now, I know many girls who are on the autism spectrum.
• 1:36
  Some of my closest friends are on the autism spectrum and
• 1:38
  they're female. Some of my closest friends are
• 1:40
  on the autism spectrum and they're female.
• 1:41
  So that is important. OK, next thing to talk about, I
• 1:45
  have a free autism Wifax PDF book that you can get for free
• 1:48
  because I told you I'm all about helping today.
• 1:49
  So go to theautismhax.net right now, download the free, also the
• 1:53
  Wifax PDF book completely free. So executive function.
• 1:57
  Executive function is things like organizing and managing
• 2:00
  everyday tasks, everyday life. It could be organizing a list to
• 2:03
  go to the grocery store. It could be organizing your
• 2:05
  laundry. It could be organizing anything
• 2:08
  in your life that needs to be done.
• 2:09
  That's an executive function that you need to do to complete
• 2:12
  a life task. We're in on the open spectrum,
• 2:14
  just like males in the open spectrum will have issues and
• 2:17
  it's called executive dysfunction.
• 2:19
  Now, executive dysfunction is exactly what it says you're,
• 2:22
  you're dysfunctioning from those executive functions, right?
• 2:24
  How we can help with this and, and I mean this in the best way
• 2:27
  possible is technology. People are like, well, how does
• 2:30
  technology work? I'm all about getting results
• 2:33
  instantly, quickly and as fast as I possibly can.
• 2:36
  The best way to do this, the most efficient way to do this is
• 2:39
  with technology. Now, we all have either a
• 2:41
  smartphone, a tablet, or a smart device like an Alexa or a Google
• 2:45
  Home hub or, you know, one of the many things like a Siri Home
• 2:49
  hub. But there's so many voice first
• 2:51
  technologies, which is what they call these personal digital
• 2:53
  systems we all have everywhere. My Alexa's behind me here.
• 2:56
  Yeah, she's there. And I use these all the time.
• 2:58
  Things like remembering to pick milk up from the store,
• 3:02
  remembering to take your medication, remembering to pick
• 3:05
  up your dry cleaning or, or even your kids from school.
• 3:07
  All of those things can be scheduled.
• 3:09
  You just have to ask them. So using voice vest technology,
• 3:12
  you say, hey, Alexa, remind me to take my medication tomorrow
• 3:15
  at 9:00 PM OK, I'll remind you tomorrow at 9:00 PM.
• 3:19
  There you go. Alexa's telling me now what I
• 3:21
  need to do to take my medication at 9:00 PM tomorrow.
• 3:24
  It's as easy as that. The alert will actually come
• 3:25
  through to your phone and it's there in stone.
• 3:28
  You can even ask them to repeat this.
• 3:30
  Every single appointment that I have with a doctor or a
• 3:32
  specialist or anything like that, I have to ask my phone,
• 3:35
  Siri to put that in my calendar at a specific date, at a
• 3:37
  specific time and set an alarm. I just talk to them and they do
• 3:41
  that. This one hack of using Voice
• 3:44
  First technology to eliminate stress from emotional
• 3:48
  dysfunction, executive dysfunction.
• 3:52
  You can literally 10X your life overnight by just implementing
• 3:57
  everything that you need to do to be put on a reminder through
• 3:59
  Voice First technology. Yeah, I know.
• 4:01
  You're welcome. You guys are amazing.
• 4:03
