What Are You Looking at? Ali Carbone joins us today and I'm just so happy to have her on the show.

Thanks for coming on, Ali.

Of course, I'm excited to be here.

This is my first ever podcast.

Wow, that's awesome and I am truly humbled that you picked this one to be your first podcast.

So let's jump into it. I understand that you have three brothers that are autistic.

Yes, yes, I like to say, I always say hat trick when people

asked me about my little situation.

I was actually, I went to like this sibling meet up

a couple, it was like a week ago and she was like oh you have

you have brothers out you have a brother on the spectrum I was like no no I got three and

the look like the looks that I go from people and they hear that is always like, like such hard, it makes me laugh. Like I can't not, like every time, it's almost like if you got had a really bad injury and you're like, oh yeah, I got it in a shark fight.

Like, I almost feel like that's the reaction I get every time I tell my story.

But yeah, that's who I am, that's who I pride myself to be. And I think that's who I am that's who I pride myself to be I think that's also kind of the the

preface of this book is that I consider myself the sister of three autistic

brothers I don't consider myself Ali Carbone.

That's really interesting. That's quite a story to tell actually.
