Discovering the power of words

1:03

first time I

1:03

saw I was like 15 that was like an

1:05

experience that was orgasmic oh s words

1:08

this like am I using them in the right

1:10

context Jason's mother was the first to

instill in him a valuable life lesson so

1:16

she had done a lot of research herself

1:18

she knew that an autistic trait was

1:20

repetition she normalized things a lot

1:33

say if it worked or not it well in terms

1:42

of the snooker it did because I became a

1:43

really good snooker player but having a

strategy to succeed in life wasn't

his classes he just didn't make me feel

2:01

any different and he just took an

2:02

interest he took such an interest he

2:04

gave people the most important thing you

2:06

can give any human
