0:00.0	Autism acts like a parent to ADHD. And ADHD acts like a friend to autism. One is very
0:05.6	ordered, disconnected from the world in a nice way. On the other side is the ADHD. It is disorganized.
0:11.4	A parent steers children in the right direction. Autism takes that responsibility. For autism,
