Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.39,0:01:18.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, neurotypical people love small talk.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.82,0:01:32.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At first, I had no idea why you did that,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.03,0:01:33.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I get it now.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.22,0:01:35.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Small talk serves a real purpose,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.24,0:01:37.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it enables you\Nto connect with people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.56,0:01:39.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in spaces you share,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.35,0:01:42.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like with your neighbor\Nin the building you live in,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.60,0:01:45.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or with your colleague in your workspace.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.69,0:01:48.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Over the years, I learned\Nhow to make small talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.32,0:01:51.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But sometimes, it's tricky.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.92,0:01:56.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, the other day,\NI ran into my neighbor in the elevator.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.29,0:02:00.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I was feeling confident, you know,\Nbecause I was wearing my lucky outfit.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.26,0:02:04.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is, of course, my lucky outfit,\Nin case you're wondering.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.89,0:02:07.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was feeling\Nlike the world belonged to me,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.13,0:02:09.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so I decided to engage in small talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.64,0:02:12.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I saw he was carrying bags\Nfull of groceries.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.35,0:02:14.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I had this stroke of genius
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.01,0:02:17.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and asked him this\Nreally profound question:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.42,0:02:20.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Oh, you did some shopping?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.88,0:02:21.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, well,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.94,0:02:23.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as I said, I have a PhD, so -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.23,0:02:27.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the neighbor answers,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.20,0:02:31.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Yeah, I went to the market,\Nbut I won't go there anymore.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.08,0:02:35.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Okay."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.51,0:02:37.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I swear, it's a true story.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.56,0:02:42.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we went from small talk\Nto racial slurs real quick.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.52,0:02:47.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You also have a very special way\Nof communicating.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.63,0:02:50.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You use sarcasm, double meaning,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.24,0:02:52.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you often tiptoe around the truth.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.30,0:02:59.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have an almost pathological inability\Nto communicate in a straightforward way.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.74,0:03:02.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What you say can have multiple meanings,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.85,0:03:05.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you always have to read\Nbetween the lines.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.07,0:03:07.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know how you do it!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.94,0:03:09.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's exhausting!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.95,0:03:12.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you are so twisted
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.21,0:03:17.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that sometimes you even ask questions\Nyou don't want to have the answers to.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.28,0:03:19.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.50,0:03:21.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if one of my girlfriends says,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.31,0:03:23.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Oh look, I bought this\Nnew foundation the other day
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.78,0:03:26.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I am wearing it right now;\Nhow do you like it?",
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.43,0:03:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know by experience\Nthat it may be a rhetorical question.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.81,0:03:35.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She probably is just trying\Nto start a conversation
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.35,0:03:37.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or wants to be reassured.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.52,0:03:41.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if I give her a straight answer,\Nlike any autistic person would,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.97,0:03:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and say,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.24,0:03:45.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Well, your face is orange,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.31,0:03:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it kind of makes you look\Nlike Donald Trump,"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.11,0:03:51.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's no good.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.87,0:03:54.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All those social codes\Nand social conventions
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.99,0:03:58.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can be particularly hard to understand\Nfor an autistic person.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.57,0:04:01.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We say what we mean,\Nand we mean what we say,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.41,0:04:03.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the point of being brutally honest.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.97,0:04:07.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I really think that if you're ready\Nto put your ego aside
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.16,0:04:09.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so as not to take everything personally,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.31,0:04:11.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a much more\Nefficient way to communicate
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.44,0:04:13.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you can save\Na lot of time and energy.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.91,0:04:15.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You should try it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.85,0:04:21.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we also have similarities,\Nlike special interests.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.63,0:04:24.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Autistic people tend to develop\Nan intense interest
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.62,0:04:26.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in one or more subjects.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.73,0:04:28.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can be the subway lines,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.57,0:04:30.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or exotic birds,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.12,0:04:32.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or historical figures, like Angela Davis.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.41,0:04:36.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can accumulate\Na considerable amount of knowledge
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.65,0:04:40.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the point of becoming experts\Nin our special interests.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.63,0:04:44.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's considered a symptom\Nbecause it can be all-consuming.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.65,0:04:47.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the truth is special interests
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.10,0:04:49.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are an important resource\Nfor people on the spectrum,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.83,0:04:53.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we need them as much\Nas we need air to breathe.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.76,0:04:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you too have\Nyour own special interest:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.18,0:04:57.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,socializing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.14,0:05:01.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You spend so much time socializing,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.47,0:05:06.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even with the bus driver.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.95,0:05:10.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It seems normal to you\Nbecause most people function that way,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.80,0:05:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you lived in a world\Ndominated by autistic people,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.53,0:05:16.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would be the weirdos.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.20,0:05:20.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And last but not least,\Nyour natural habitat.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.40,0:05:22.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can I read it for you?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.52,0:05:26.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Neurotypical people are best observed\Nat nightfall in a dynamic environment,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.97,0:05:34.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, as you may have noticed,\Nthis slide is a bit cliché,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.61,0:05:38.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because not all neurotypical\Npeople drink champagne.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.52,0:05:43.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.30,0:05:46.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there is no cure, for the time being.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.83,0:05:50.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But seriously, though,
