00:00I am autistic.
00:01I'm too naked.
00:02You never know, I'll always have everything, it's crazy.
00:05I swear it'll be alright.
00:06Right now, you'll have everything, but that's wrong.
00:09We're here for you.
00:17Yeah, we're here for you.
00:23Did you change your sentences yourself?
00:25Yeah.
00:26I just thought it looked a little better.
00:28Yeah, well you could have warned me, because I don't like it when there are things that
00:31They change without my knowing.
00:32Sorry.
00:34I have some nectarines in my bag, do you want some?
00:36No, I don't like it, it drips everywhere, it disgusts me.
00:39Can I ask you a quick question?
00:41Wait, I need to reread everything first.
00:43It's fine, honestly, it'll be done next week, we have time.
00:47Pardon.
00:52Go ahead, tell me.
00:55Have you ever been to see a therapist?
00:58No, I admit that it sounds a bit weird like that, but basically, it's just that yesterday, I
01:02I saw a documentary about autism.
01:06And I realized that there are a lot of things that were a bit like you.
01:10Are you telling me I'm weird?
01:11No ?
01:13First of all, autism is not the same as weird, that's extremely derogatory.
01:16And I'm just telling you this because you yourself often tell me that you
01:18feeling very isolated from others, that sometimes you feel a little different.
01:24Listen, I did some research and I found a psychologist here who specializes in autism.
01:28So I'm sending it to you and you can do what you want with it.
01:31I'm going to revise some sentences.
01:33So, after all the tests and discussions we've had, I think we can talk about a
01:38autism spectrum disorder.
01:40Are you sure?
01:42Because, in fact, it's just that I watched movies, I watched documentaries and all that,
01:47And I don't really recognize myself.
01:50I mean, I'm not super intelligent, I'm not here banging my head against
01:53the walls.
01:54So, I understand that it doesn't exactly match what you saw, but what you...
01:59Calling it being hyper-intelligent or banging your head against the wall is just an image.
02:05One way among a thousand to be autistic.
02:07Finally, not all autistic people have the same personality.
02:10For example, your autism is like not knowing how to cope when someone changes plans.
02:17Having to leave a room that was too bright, not knowing how to comfort others.
02:23Not knowing when to stop moving, too.
02:25No, I manage to stop moving.
02:29Okay.
02:32So, I am autistic.
02:34I became autistic.
02:35No.
02:36You don't become autistic.
02:39It is...
02:39It's always been that way.
02:41No, I don't think so.
02:43I mean, if it had been from a young age, there would have been doctors who would have diagnosed it.
02:47Noticed, people, right?
02:49Unfortunately, not necessarily.
02:50In fact, it can be diagnosed very late.
02:53Even more so among women.
02:55From a young age, we are taught not to be too angry, to camouflage what we feel, not to
03:00not to make too many waves.
03:01Also, keep your distance.
03:05So, naturally, it's a bit more complicated to notice.
03:08So you're telling me that if I had been a little boy, I would have had more
03:12chances of being diagnosed at a younger age.
03:17I wouldn't have needed to ask myself a thousand questions.
03:20I would have immediately understood why I felt isolated, why I felt lost, why I
03:25You didn't know how to deal with others, is that it?
03:27I really needed to take some time to myself.
