  Like, let's get going. All right, guys, First things
• 1:06
  first, girls in the autism spectrum exist.
• 1:08
  A lot of people don't talk about this.
• 1:09
  It's really, really weird. Like people did forget that
• 1:13
  girls can be on the autism spectrum.
• 1:15
  Now, I know many girls who are on the autism spectrum.
• 1:17
  Some of my closest friends are on the autism spectrum and
• 1:19
  they're female. So my closest friends are on the
• 1:21
  autism spectrum and they're female.
• 1:22
  So that is important. OK, next thing to talk about, I

  So executive function. Executive function is things
• 1:39
  like organizing and managing everyday tasks everyday life.
• 1:42
  It could be organizing a list to go to the grocery store.
• 1:44
  It could be organizing your laundry.
• 1:46
  It could be organizing anything in your life that needs to be
• 1:50
  done. That's an executive function
• 1:52
  that you need to do to complete a life task.
• 1:54
  We're in on the open spectrum, just like males on the open
• 1:56
  spectrum will have issues and it's called executive
• 1:59
  dysfunction. Now executive dysfunction is
• 2:01
  exactly what it says you're, you're dysfunctioning from those
• 2:04
  executive functions, right? How we can help with this and,
• 2:06
  and I mean this in the best way possible is technology.
• 2:10
  People are like, well, how does technology work?
• 2:12
  I'm all about getting results instantly, quickly and as fast
• 2:15
  as I possibly can. The best way to do this, that
• 2:18
  the most efficient way to do this is with technology.
• 2:21
  Now we all have either a smartphone, a tablet, or a smart
• 2:24
  device like an Alexa or a Google Home Hub or one of the many
• 2:29
  things like a Siri Home Hub. But there's so many voice first
• 2:32
  technologies, which what they call these personal digital
• 2:34
  systems we all have everywhere. My Alexis behind me here.
• 2:37
  Yeah, she's there. And I use these all the time.
• 2:39
  Things like remembering to pick milk up from the store,
• 2:43
  remembering to take your medication, remembering to pick
• 2:46
  up your dry cleaning or, or even your kids were at school.
• 2:48
  All of those things can be scheduled.
• 2:50
  You just have to ask them. So using voice vest technology,
• 2:53
  you say, hey, Alexa, remind me to take my medication tomorrow
• 2:56
  at 9:00 PM OK, I'll remind you tomorrow at 9:00 PM There you
• 3:00
  go. Alexa's telling me now what I
• 3:02
  need to do to take my medication at 9:00 PM tomorrow.
• 3:04
  It's as easy as that. The alert will actually come
• 3:06
  through to your phone and it's there in stone.
• 3:09
  You can even ask them to repeat this.
• 3:10
  Every single appointment that I have with a doctor or a
• 3:13
  specialist or anything like that, I have to ask my phone,
• 3:15
  Siri to put that in my calendar at a specific date, at a
• 3:18
  specific time and set an alarm. I just talk to them and they do
• 3:22
  that. This one hack of using Voice
• 3:25
  First technology to eliminate stress from emotional
• 3:29
  dysfunction, executive dysfunction.
• 3:33
  You can literally 10X your life overnight by just implementing
• 3:37
  everything that you need to do to be put on a reminder through
• 3:40
  Voice First technology. Yeah, I know.
