• 0:36
  first, girls in the autonomous spectrum exist.
• 0:38
  A lot of people don't talk about this.
• 0:40
  It's really, really weird. Like people did forget that
• 0:43
  girls can be on the autonomous spectrum.
• 0:45
  Now, I know many girls who are on the autonomous spectrum.
• 0:47
  Some of my closest friends are on the autonomous spectrum and
• 0:49
  they're female. So my closest friends are on the
• 0:51
  autonous spectrum and they're female.

  So executive function. Executive function is things
• 1:09
  like organizing and managing everyday tasks, everyday life.
• 1:12
  It could be organizing a list to go to the grocery store.
• 1:15
  It could be organizing your laundry.
• 1:16
  It could be organizing anything in your life that needs to be
• 1:20
  done. That's an executive function
• 1:22
  that you need to do to complete a life task.
• 1:24
  We're in on the open spectrum, just like males on the open
• 1:26
  spectrum will have issues and it's called executive
• 1:29
  dysfunction. Now, executive dysfunction is
• 1:31
  exactly what it says you, you're dysfunctioning from those
• 1:34
  executive functions, right? How we can help with this and,
• 1:37
  and I mean this in the best way possible is technology.
• 1:40
  People are like, well, how does technology work?
• 1:42
  I'm all about getting results instantly, quickly and as fast
• 1:45
  as I possibly can. The best way to do this, that
• 1:48
  the most efficient way to do this is with technology.
• 1:51
  Now we all have either a smartphone, a tablet, or a smart
• 1:54
  device like an Alexa or a Google Home Hub or one of the many
• 1:59
  things like a Siri Home Hub. But there's so many voice first
• 2:02
  technologies, what they call these personal digital systems
• 2:04
  we all have everywhere. My Alexis behind me here.
• 2:07
  Yeah, she's there. And I use these all the time.
• 2:09
  Things like remembering to pick milk up from the store where I'm
• 2:13
  going to take your medication, remembering to pick up your dry
• 2:16
  cleaning or or even your kids from school.
• 2:18
  All of those things can be scheduled.
• 2:20
  You just have to ask them. So using voice vest technology,
• 2:23
  you say, hey, Alexa, remind me to take my medication tomorrow
• 2:26
  at 9:00 PM OK, I'll remind you tomorrow at 9:00 PM.
• 2:30
  There you go. Alexa's tell me now what I need
• 2:32
  to do to take my medication at 9:00 PM tomorrow.
• 2:35
  It's as easy as that. The alert will actually come
• 2:36
  through to your phone and it's there in stone.
• 2:39
  You can even ask them to repeat this.
• 2:41
  Every single appointment that I have with a doctor or a
• 2:43
  specialist or anything like that, I have to ask my phone,
• 2:45
  Siri to put that in my calendar at a specific date, at a
• 2:48
  specific time and set an alarm. I just talk to them and they do
• 2:52
  that. This one hack of using Voice
• 2:55

• 2:59
  dysfunction, executive dysfunction.
