Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. I have Andy and Ruth with me today.

Andy, how are you? I'm great. Thank you very much. How are you doing? I'm very well. Thanks. Ruth, how are you?

I'm very good. Thank you. It's nice to be here. Good. I like your

background, the world map. Yeah, we've got we've got a couple of those. So this was one of the

boys' bedrooms and they have, wow, my eldest has always loved. He was a bit, when he was

little, he's autistic this one. He was obsessed with flags and countries.

And we, he just tells me where they are now, even at 14, he still knows where all the

countries are. Wow, that's such a little obsession. I was a little bit obsessed with space

when I was younger and I used to be able to like recite all of

the planets in order and like I'd be like telling that I was quite strange yeah you're a

diverse maybe yeah well it's probably that yeah um Zoe's also diagnosed me as autistic which is

nice I think it's a thing hey who wants to be the same Zoe's also diagnosed me as autistic, which is nice.

I think it's a thing. Hey, who wants to be the same as everyone else, right?

It's a superpower. It's a superpower. Yeah. It can be. It definitely can be. And yeah,

sometimes, sometimes they, like, it's when we get older and people start saying things like that to us. We're like, oh, maybe I am.

Well, we were just having dinner.

This was quite early on as well.

I'd say we were like, been dating for like two months or something.

And she was just like, are you autistic?

Not that I know of, but... Although, ADHD and autism together can cancel each other out a little bit.

So if you are a female who's got ADHD,

then you might not notice the autism symptoms as much, or the other way
