I thought a psych Dr is a psychiatrist

Perspective always helps me in situations like that. I imagine myself 3 years down the line having to tell them that actually I don’t like XX thing and how much more awful and hurtful that would be. Then I thank my lucky stars I’ve got it so easy now that I can say “nah not for me”.

A $10 note is an Aryton Senna 😂

Working on a weakness within a strength zone will always produce positive results.

Wow Dr Em what a wonderful woman! Not only smart but so beautiful too with a very soothing voice. (Yes it's probably a boundary I've crossed) sorry about that not my intention it's pure love ❤. Like I have for all humans. I love your talks and teachings. Thabk you so much for taking the time to do this. Time is more precious than money. Also do you guys take requests on topics with Dr Em? All my love Matt.

My daughter struggles with the more extroverted kids crossing her boundaries in kinder. One afternoon she introduced us to her new favourite song - The boundary song (Emily's daughter absolutely nailed it!) ruclips.net/video/aSFvJbSQdA4/видео.html

A brilliant episode. Christie is a sage! True to her values and some of mine have been validated. Still sweating life at the end of my 6th decade on life 😂

This makes it hard to see NSW winning with Slater as coach. Qld go down to 12 and go supersayan. NSW go to 12 and get flogged.

I'm past 50, but I feel it would still be correct to infantilize me. I and as far as I know many other like me is better off being an older kid. The safety net of having parents catch you when you fall or having someone to smooth the edges so you can mostly "adult" is just better. Now my parents is dead, I'm just lost.

Pat's losing his Mum reminded me so much of me losing mine, it was mind blowing....brought back all the memories.....

I went to the (now gone) St.Mary’s Academy in Bathgate in the late 1960s. I recall several teachers were clearly strange partly due to them being war veterans. One or to were well past their finish teaching by date. Several were excellent though and inspired me to take biology at university and go on to teaching in college myself.

Fascinating and supportive. Interesting . Around 43:00 about calmness through organising jokes etc. My working life was lecturing bioscience to mainly young adults. I could get away with that and enjoy it. But(long term buddies excepted) horror is being in a pub group, coming in late to a busy event/bus etc. I had to give a speech at my son’s wedding in Russia around 12 years ago: thank god for the Russian for vodka and their generosity in supplying it!😂

Really great interview. I'm not sure who to address in these comments, but Fern's book is what really helped me see myself and my actions as autistic when I was first discovering what it was and wondering if it was okay to even think of myself as autistic. Forever grateful to her for talking about meltdowns because I didn't know what was wrong with me and I couldn't get anything that fit right from Google. I accept myself and take my problems a lot more seriously now, which lets me deal with them instead of having meltdowns every three days and being chronically stressed and not knowing what any of it was related to.

I think autism effects men and woman in a unique way becuase just like women have there expectations men also have there own social expectations and for a man if ur not the status quo ur a waste of time to majority of people and ide rather not people show interest in what im saying or doing just becuase im autistic, ide rather they just care naturally so it makes social and work environments weird becuase i want to be understood but I also dont want to be treated completely differently. It’s such a contradictory life sometimes.

I was lucky to be working at Melbourne Storm when Hugh made these early-day presentations. Been a big fan ever since. Awesome chat among some awesome humans!

I’m also an autistic passion who had a really chaotic life in my teens and early 20’s, and I’m lucky enough that things have calmed down more that I’m older. It’s really weird to try and explain to people that even though it doesn’t seem like it would be, my experiences in life are directly related to me being autistic, because it’s a lot easier to take advantage of autistic people.

Mate he’s from Innisfail He gets it

Wow guys! Bringing the eps to youtube is just phenomenal. Next level to have that extra dimension of facial expressions and body language. Yumi is an inspiration, as are all of you x

I LOVE PAT CUMMINS ❤❤ WOULD LOVE TO MEET HIM SOMEDAY❤❤

I don't do well with hugs. and I keep my hair very short, almost bald-like because if it growns anything beyond a fey milimeters It feels very uncomfortable. lots of people think I'm getting treatment for cancer...the other day a womam approached me and asked if I was doing chemotherapy and I said "no I just like this way" and she was like "I had caner and lost my hair some time back, and if you were doing chemo I would give you a hug" I know that her intention was good but my reaction to hugs is very extreme, bordering on violent (mostly violently cursing like a sailor)

One of the things that really gets on my nerves being autistic is I get babied by people, treated like a pet or trinket. While its nice that people care and think I’m cute but I’m not taken seriously. Especially in a work environment I’m there because I want to work not be left out, I’m there to be a team member and not their mascot. But I’m either given small or none at all jobs because they act like I’m not capable of doing anything. Its also very belittling makes me feel like I’m not their equal.

Billy is just the most outrageously decent human being

Queenslander !!!

Normal people don't respect boundaries that are different to the normal. The whole premise of neurotypical socializing is hierarchy, and setting boundaries is rude because it interferes with that hierarchy. Generally speaking of course, though far more often than not. So many people forget that you don't see what is normal to you and those you spend the majority of your time around. Its hard for NTs to see how pervasive boundary crossing and manipulation is in NT society because its THEIR normal, AND doesn't impact them as hard as it does NDs.

Just listening to this I can promise this, Billy will be the most successful QLD coach of all time in his winning % A smart and very humble guy with a heart of a lion ready for any challenge 🇱🇻QLD ! 💪🏽

Awesome ep, well produced, a boy from the bush done good.....just bet 100k on Queensland to win the next 8 series straight

Billy, you're the freaking G.O.A.T

re the Death conversation : in History, many people would keep an object, i.e. a skull, to keep Death in their awareness..."memento mori"

There are 2 episodes of the Belgian podcast 'Nerdland', where they recorded 2 'special" episodes about Autism. In these specials, they invited a few guests who are also diagnosed with autism. They give tips and tricks for how to interact with autistic people, but also the problems that they have to deal with. Not just the daily struggles from certain inputs, but also trying to find a job. Because appearantely, as soon they tell the interviewer that they are diagnosed with autism, it is almost like hitting a 'you-are-not-getting-this-job' kill switch. Although they are definitely (over) qualified for the job they are trying to apply for... Some friends of mine have a daughter who is also diagnosed with autism, and thanks to the tips from the Nerdland podcast, i can also interact with her a bit better, and i can put myself 'in her shoes' sometimes. I really enjoyed this episode, and i think Fern is a great comedian! Thanks for the episode!

LOVEEEEEE PATTY❤❤ MY DREAM TO MEET HIM❤❤❤ next time let me pick him up from the hotel 😁😁😉😉

On of the best interviews i have ever listened to

41:45 Aaargh, the back of the chair!

Queenslander In Billy we trust 🙏🏽

So insightful. Love Dr Emily!

10% off manicures, a given. But seriously, I’m glad he got rid of that gooey langer, he really was a gnome with a brown nose.

So hard to dislike Billy at this time of year. I do, because I hate Queensland, but what an inspiration. Will never cheer Queensland, but will always cheer Billy.

Billy for Prime Minister

Great ep!

This came at !00% The right time for me. I'm not a massive League fan (I'm in South Australia soooo...) but Billy's stuff about leadership really hits the spot.

The book is great and such an easy read. Couldn’t put it down.

a beautiful conversation

50+ undiagnosed. I have watched a lot of Fren's material and bought the book, she is one of my favorites. This video in particular got into details that are very eye opening and she shared a lot of details that resonate that I have not heard other folks mention before.

That was insanely good. Fern took on the role of a representative of the autistic community being armed with statistics, research and empathy for our struggles which made me feel so seen as a late diagnosed black autistic woman finding her voice. I especially loved her mention of Elijah McClain and Ryan the other wrongfully killed young autistic black boy and the dangers of being not only autistic but also black. Gracefully presented with compassion too. Thank you Fern and thank you to the hosts for leaning in with consideration and care the way you did.

Great man

Shout out to Josh at the end for getting really vulnerable. Thanks for sharing your experience. It really struck a chord with me. Thanks for the ep as always guys 👍🏻

This is the coming together of two of my all time favorite influences in helping me improve my anxiety. Nathan streaming on Twitch, sharing so much of his writing and recording is album, Miracles, being so venerable with his chat. But Nathan's Bohdi River's Streams really shared his struggles, what worked for him, plays really relaxing tunes, do some guided meditations. But how he talks to and genuinely cares for his chat. Great interview from the imperfects. If you like this interview, check out Nathan touring his miracles album. TOUR dates are on his website. Youvwon't be disappointed. 🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉

Learned so much from this conversation!

OMG 🎉

Hugh is correct on face melting lol

‘A lot of people don’t like you saying ‘you’re gonna be dead soon’’ 😂
