Before we start, we've got an email to read.

Oh, we're starting.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, no, we're going.

This is from Izzy.

Hi Izzy.

Hi, Izzy. The title of the email, the subject line, is autism with a little smiley face. Autism smiley face. Oh, very nice. Hello, everybody. Seeing as the recent pod is heavily autism-based, I thought you might be interested in my view and experience

as a girl with Asperger's and a young carer for my very badly autistic brother. Wow, interesting.

Please, go ahead. I obviously spent ages trying to get diagnosed and stuff and that's because

the test doesn't work for girls for a very specific reason based on what I call copy and paste.

Something I really badly experienced, which is where you basically want other people's social actions and copy them to hide your autism basically. Wow. Fascinating. It's interesting, isn't it? It's almost like she was parroting the actions of the people around her, which is very relevant for the episode we're about to do. How do you know that? How do you know this thing? We haven't done the episode we haven't recorded it yet because we are recording this at the end of the show no we're about to do. Hey, is it? How do you know this? We haven't done the episode yet. We haven't recorded it yet.

Because we are recording this at the end of the show.

No.

We're putting it at the start for some reason. This is the beginning of the show. No, I know, but we're recording it at the end. You're breaking. You're breaking the reality that you can't do this. We've got to put it in.

You can't edit things out of order.

Yes, you can.

It's impossible.

It is possible.

Everything has to be chronological.

We record all of the episodes at once.

We've been recording since. You can't edit things out of order. Yes, you can. It's impossible. It is possible.

Everything has to be chronological. We record all of the episodes at once. We've been recording since, you know, day one. We haven't stopped. Anyway, also, autism can definitely be life-changing and a disability, like it is in my brother. He will need constant care for his whole life, and I'm classed as a young carer as a result of it. I personally really enjoyed your episode and I think you did a good job at interpreting autism.
