- 00:00:00 : Beginning
- 00:02:57 : My presentation
- 00:05:12 : Learn life in society the natural way, so that they happen “the little clicks” to understand society – need for practical experiments
- 00:09:53 : If we do not explain and if we do not demonstrate, It's no use – because we always have our good reasons – but it's hard to explain them – or just a language problem – or different frame of reference problem – we must try to understand our reasons, which are generally also valid
- 00:16:02 : In case of an unfair situation, extremist or absolutist reaction not adapted to society – society tends to think that the reason of the majority is the only valid reason – but this is only valid in a given group – but we have a problem with social codes – offset allows external vision on social codes – so we see the absurd and negative sides – life is pretty easy for a non-autistic person in a given group – (adaptation)
- 00:20:53 : We are outside of all social groups – we see different and contradictory social codes – we are logical : if there are several different groups with different rules in each group and each group claims that its recipe is the best, there is a problem, absurdity… – so it doesn't make us want to adapt to absurd things – it's artificial – what's more, it's imposed on us – all these ways of doing things that we try to put into our heads do not seem justified to us – the deep justification is missing
- 00:24:50 : We don't use social conventions to judge whether something is right, we do not refer to what the majority thinks, but what we feel (nature – intime conviction – intuitive sense of right and wrong)
- 00:26:34 : But for non-autistic people, common sense is a little stifled, and it is the automatism of the social group that takes care of deciding what is good and not good
- 00:27:29 : Autistic people work with very deep things and we must be given proof of what they are trying to explain to us., it does not work – concrete experiences are needed
- 00:29:05 : In my case, I didn't know the theory at all, the mechanisms of my difference, so I was forced to learn only through concrete experience – I managed to learn how society works, so to adapt, thanks to you “clicks” that come naturally during life experiences – you need both : theoretical teaching, and also the practice
- 00:32:23 : Question about my studies, my work – From a very young age, problems with the group – you have to learn to adapt to the group, but also for the group to adapt to the autistic – I was put in a school for children with problems – it was really not good – … (emotion memories) – why are the other kids so mean to me ?
- 00:38:11 : My scolarity : quite difficult – focused on the subjects that interested me
- 00:38:52 : The school of life – industrial designer work – rigorous and methodical – advantage of autism – anecdote from work for Russia (I was chosen because I had to be very careful with the Russians !)
- 00:43:29 : I was in a small business, I was put in a separate office – when clients came they locked me in my office 😉
- 00:44:25 : But uncreative work – unexpected trigger that happens on the path of life : DJ work – I should have continued in the industry, but I followed my intuition – I was alone, I had no friends, I couldn't do it – I discover a world where everyone seems happy – I was not at all suitable – what interested me was music – music is luck my life, car :
– DJ work :
— way to live
— social recognition (very important for autistic – usually we are inferiorized)
— I could interact with people, which was positive – I was able to communicate with people in a rewarding way, productive – with music, no language, no misunderstandings – if now we play a Beatles song, you in me we will understand each other, meet
— discover different social categories – I had to project myself into people's emotional feelings, and I felt the same things as them, and so I ended up liking a lot of different music (and therefore to appreciate different categories of music and therefore of people) - 00:53:59 : The need to be truly adapted to the people in front – the theory may be bad – if by intellectual reasoning I thought that a piece would please, if I didn't make the effort to adapt (to properly bring the piece of music) – if I made a mistake, the sanction was immediate : I felt it because I am very sensitive – so I was *forced* to be adapted, I had the proof in the 5 seconds, it really taught me to be adaptable and pragmatic

0:00:00: Start
0:02:57: My presentation
0:05:12: Learning to live in society naturally, which are happening “small clicks” to understand society – necessity, to do practical experience
0:09:53: If you don't understand, and if we don't show, it's useless, – because we always have our good reasons, – but it's hard to explain – or just a language problem – problem or different storage – we must try to understand the reasons for our, which, usually, how it works
0:16:02: In case of an unfair situation, extremist or absolutist reaction Complain about the company – the company strives to think, that the reason for the majority is the only valid reason – but this is only true in this group – or we have a problem with social codes – displacement allows an external vision of social codes – so we see the ridiculous and negative sides – life is easy enough for a non-autistic person in this group – (adaptation)
0:20:53: We are outside all social groups – we see various contradictory and social codes – we are logical: if there are several different groups with each group different rules and each group approves, that her recipe is the best, There is a problem, absurdity … – so it doesn't make us want, to adapt to absurd things – it's artificial – plus it's imposed on us – all this is why we try, to lay our heads, Seems like, didn't justify us – deep justification for the absence
0:24:50: We don't use social conventions to evaluate, is something right, we don't mean, what the majority thinks, but he feels (kind – personal belief – intuitive meaning of good and evil)
0:26:34: But for non-humans, those suffering from autism, common sense is a little muted, and it is the automation of the social group that is responsible for decisions, what is good and not so good
0:27:29: autistic dealing with very deep things, and you must give us proof of that, what are we trying to explain, It does not work – need specific experience
0:29:05: In my case, I don't care about theory, I don’t know the mechanisms of my difference, so I was forced, to learn only by actual experience – I managed to find out the work of the society, So, to adapt, via ES “clicks”, that come naturally through life experience – it takes two: theoretical teaching, as well as practice
0:32:23: Question about my research, my job – Small problems with the group since childhood – we must learn to adapt to the group, but also a group adapt to autism – this is m ‘ put it in the children's school, having problems – it was really bad – … (souvenirs emotions) – why do other children mean so much to me?
0:38:11: my training: Not good – subject-oriented, what interested me
0:38:52: school of Life – job Industrial designer – strict and methodical – advantage of autism – history of work for Russia (we chose me, because he had to be very careful with the Russians !)
0:43:29 I was in a small business, you put me in the office, except – when the clients were locked in my office they came 😉
0:44:25 But not creative work – don't hit the unexpected along the path of life: DJ work – I have to continue in the industry, but I followed my intuition – I was alone, I had no friends, I could not – I discovered the world, where everyone looks happy – I was completely unfit – that, what interested me was music – music is the chance of my life, because:
– DJ work:
– A way to live
– Public acceptance (very important for autism – usually, it's getting worse)
– I could interact with people, which was positive – I could communicate with people usefully, productively – with music, no language, no misunderstandings – so now we don't pass a piece to the Beatles, You are in me will understand, reach
– Discover different social classes – I had to project myself into people's emotional feelings, and I felt, the same things, how are they, and so I end up souling a lot of different music (and, Thus, to appreciate different types of music and then people)
0:53:59: the need to be very suitable for people, which are ahead – theory may be wrong – be an intellectual argument I thought, the song will please, if I didn't make an effort to adapt (get the music track right) – if i made a mistake, the penalty was immediate: feeling, because I'm very sensitive – so I was forced * * be adapted, I had as proof 5 seconds, it really taught me to be accepting and pragmatic
