Hey everybody, I'm Lance Goyke and today I want to talk about back tightness and how to make sure it never comes back. So first disclaimer, medical advice, don't take that on the internet. If your back hurts, go see a doctor. Now second though, back tightness happens when you try really hard. So if you're doing the 10 by 10 squat program, like you're signing up for back tightness.  We're going to talk about that later though. The first thing that I did want to mention is you got to make sure that technique is a thing.  Big things are you want to keep the core nice and steady and you want to drive through the hips. Now this plays into our next point or second point, which is mobility and the execution of the rep. So let's take a squat for example. If I squat down and my back rounds at the bottom and then it arches as I come up at the top, what I'm doing there is I'm teaching the spine to move and I'm taking the movement away from the hips in general. And here's a rule that I talk about in a bunch of my videos, but you want to learn to dissociate the hips from the spine. So in something really heavy, we generally want the spine to be really rigid. And we want the hips to be really mobile because the hips, the glutes, the hamstrings, the quads, that stuff is our prime movers in this movement. So we want to place the load on those. So first, make sure you're doing the technique well. And second, if you don't have the hip mobility, we've probably got to loosen that up. We don't want to promote spinal mobility here. And that's a common misconception is sometimes if the back is tight, it's not because the back isn't mobile. It's because the back is too mobile during the exercise. We're promoting too much activity of the erector spinae. This should not be, in my opinion, no exercise should really be a low back exercise. That should come as a byproduct, a stabilization in my heavy lifts. So the squats are hip exercises. The deadlifts are hip exercises, leg exercises, right? So place the emphasis where it needs to go. So we talked about technique. We talked about hip mobility versus spine mobility, that dissociation of movement. The third thing that I want to talk about is using an appropriate range of motion. Now, with something like a squat, let's take, for example, Olympic weightlifting. So if I'm going to catch a clean with a squat clean, I need to catch with a weight on the front of my shoulders all the way down to the ground. And it's possible. We've seen a lot of people do it. Most of the time, especially in American lifters, people will compensate to catch the weight by shifting their weight forward onto their toes. You need some sort of heel elevation to have the ankle mobility to actually do a rep, like a full squat like that. So first, you've got to make sure you're set up there. And that will open up your maximum mobility availability. Now, I said before, if I'm trying really hard, that's promoting tightness in the back. So I've got to keep that in check here. It's easy to let the back muscles, or let the back arch, let the back muscles turn on, and they will push you forward onto your toes. We want to prevent that from happening as best we can, because we don't want to mis-lifts forward in the example of a clean, right? Snatch is the same thing. So we need to find an appropriate range of motion, and we need to execute the exercise the right way. In a simpler example, let's say I'm not throwing the weights around, I'm just doing a squat. If I squat down to halfway, and then once I hit halfway, I start shifting forward. Well, then, hey, maybe I don't have the hip mobility to do this right now. And all I'm going to do by getting that extra little bit of motion is really increase the risk of injury during my exercises. Exercise is a risk-reward situation all the time.   We'll just leave it there. Speaking of dumb, the last thing that I want to talk about is your periodization.  You have to push yourself really hard. You've got to have that masochism inside you. However, when you're working out and you're doing, let's say, you're doing the same program for six months, you're not promoting a whole lot of variability. And therefore, you're not promoting a whole lot of mobility and flexibility. You have to prioritize those things at certain points.  That's kind of what your coach is designed to do. It's designed to say, hey, this is what we're going to do now. I'm going to let you push really hard on gaining relative strength. We're going to try to see how heavy we can make your deadlift this month. But then next month, we're not going to do that. Maybe we do it for three months. But after that, we need to take a break every now and then. One of the problems with people who are powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting is they compete too much.  And it's just not a good way for longevity for one, but also just for making the gains. It's not about making the gains this week. It's about making the gains over the long term. So we want to keep a long term focus. And you do that by periodizing. So make sure that, you know, especially if you're feeling that back tightness, you got to make sure you change up your programming every now and then. It's okay to do things that are lighter. It's okay to lose a little bit of strength in order to gain other fitness qualities. Endurance, for example, muscular endurance, it's going to help you keep your technique during the lift. So make sure you're not neglecting that. That's going to be it for me. If you like this video, hit the like button, subscribe, leave a comment below so I know you like this stuff. And so you can be notified when I release new videos if, you know, this is your shtick. If you need something else to watch, well, we talked about hip mobility. You probably need hip mobility if you have a back tightness problem. Look at my Limber Up with Lance series hip mobility video. I'll link that somewhere around here.

just you know what I was one of those people who wanted to be married all my life but it just it wasn't in the cards I always loved everybody more than they loved me including Steve until he finally

dad camera operator worked for the DP the director of photography his name was Don Morgan Jessica is Don's granddaughter Don was like an uncle to me and all these years I never even knew until she existed till Casey brought her home is it a small world or what when we all found out it was like oh my gosh yeah I don't care if a poinsettia is I'm allergic to him I think because I read something on my facebook from a couple years ago that but it's just a little one with glitter on it she was thinking of me at Trader Joe's I was like so happy it is a small world it's a totally small world I couldn't believe it and she looks just like him too it's crazy hi Lou whenever I see you on Amy and she says hi Lou G I always laugh where is she today she's kind of quiet she's been quiet today I have to put a calendar reminder to remember my wedding anniversary that's okay nothing wrong with that I just have too much time on my hands and I'm and I am completely stoked that somebody hung out with me this long it's a big deal poor guy I was looking at our wedding picture did you guys see our wedding picture I put on Instagram and I have aged the bloody hell out of that man he doesn't adore me Barbara he puts up with me he he's of the stock where you take care of whatever you put your foot in you take care of it and you don't put your foot out I slew that's exactly how I feel too I was like oh thanks for thinking because that's one thing about my husband is he's not um and I'm not focusing on the negative he's a wonderful man he gives till he can give no more but he's not like a romantic nature he'd rather watch the history channel than sit on the couch and make out with me he's so excited oh my gosh he's so excited about this time of year so I guess that's what I do I hope I have a good way into my really really really want one you know what would really be good I just have a thought maybe he'll want to go to Disneyland tomorrow maybe that's what he's got up his sleeve wouldn't it be funny if he came home and told me he wanted to go golfing if he completely forgot and said he was gonna go golfing oh boy but then I would have the whole well you have to make up for that part on my side huh Steve doesn't deny it and it's okay you know I'm I can't say that I'm horribly romantic either like you we don't do valentine's day I just like to acknowledge the milestones the last gift that Steve actually gave me was on our first anniversary we were in camber at the beach and he gave me a beautiful key to his heart necklace and that you know that was back when everything was new and fun and um um if you only knew Jessica if you only knew I don't want him to read that then you're gonna give him ideas hi Susan hi Sue take care have a great night thanks for the sacrifice put my glasses on I can't see you guys what time is it quarter to four hey I know what I want to ask you guys what is this I hear about not exercising or walking or any of the sort the night before weigh-in do any of you guys follow that theory and what is the theory I haven't been able to find out bye sue know what know what Lou okay so it doesn't matter on weigh-in because if I because I could with all this nervous energy I have I should go for a walk but I've been told don't move the night before weigh-in I don't remember oh there goes my phone and it's perfect weather for walking to put my earbuds on you wouldn't shower Patty why I dry my hair should I wipe isn't it I love hearing everybody's ideas feel give me some more what is it with the history channel it's either the history channel or what's the channel or they're all going like climbing mountains and all that crap with celebrities it's probably the history channel I respectfully disagree with that with the shower come on Lou you got to be clearer lady I stomped my dog oh no Barbara there's somebody here to see you haha I stomped my dog flat yesterday and slid him under my neighbor's door oh Barbara was just gonna give him a spelling lesson he wasn't a very good speller and I felt sorry for him water weight Patty water weight from a shower I don't think so Hunter come on now do you know water retention with the not okay right Lou got you on that get him oh I'm sorry Jessica I missed that okay all right so mine just try it I feel like I can't take it that seriously too much effort to avoid things before weigh in um the walk you mean Molly now you've given me positive think it's just like it's I don't I don't I don't even Molly okay Molly look me in the eye I have to tell you something and you're gonna be like oh Anita I get up at five sometimes 430 sometimes I don't even have any water or coffee and I don't weigh until eight no see you're the image it's just a number crowd see that's what I was saying at the beginning how some folks are just like I probably will have a cup of coffee depending on just how early I get up but see Molly that's the thing is I'm I'm in I'm the scale crowd when people are like like you it's just a number I'm all about that number because that's the only where only way I see it I do avoid lots of water and eating before weigh in and celebrate when I clear the pipes the pipes should be cleared I've had my tea and it's just regular tea it's nothing crazy you exercise hard you push fluids and muscles but I don't exercise hard um Michelle that's the thing and tiny tears inflammation okay awesome thanks for explaining that to me but I can't imagine just a normal walk would would lend into that so that makes sense thank you so much for explaining it to me I was going to google but then I didn't know what to put in exactly should I or shouldn't I yeah I watch my sodium and you know and I always have a Molly you're gonna kill me um I always have a smoothie if I'm gonna have dinner I have a smoothie Angie's wine is at 530 not a fan of the evening winds but don't have the option well but at least you're doing it so kudos to you girlfriend I give you your thumbs up I'll give you a Bravo sticker I'll give you whatever you want at least you're doing it I'm grateful to be able to go in the morning because it starts my whole day my whole weekend on the right in the right direction I have to wash my hair maybe I'll just do it tonight but yes I like I don't know now I'm sorry I asked I'm just kidding I usually shower in the morning so that I but I blow the hell dry out of my hair you guys are all going to be holding your breath tomorrow till I come in for way and go oh I hope Nina doesn't have a loss or a gain I always mix up the gain and the loss I don't know hopefully uh I'm so glad I'll be able to see my leader tomorrow there's 30 of us here and only couple you guys are talking what's everybody doing I'm done with I ideally I would like to go back to the pool I love exercising in the pool I could stay in there all day I've mentioned that 450,000 times on my videos yes you are supposed to weigh in tomorrow hi Susan I'm watching for creeps I got Barbara on creep patrol oh Angie I think it's just everybody has like their own routine and maybe their own what's the word I'm looking for you guys when Lou Barbara what's the word I'm looking for when someone has a um like the football players will wear one sock or they won't take a shower for five weeks before a big game what's the word for that when someone has their um okay when someone come on you guys there's 32 of you here idiosyncrasies yes but that's not ritual that that's the word I was looking for thanks Marilyn but Lou you get a star for the big word that you no need it would never think of especially superstition okay that too okay yes ritual superstition thank you guys no two days melody get some um go to Walmart and get some sitting right there hold on you guys would be so proud of me I have my pillows here and my water here I'm all my bony ass isn't sitting on the floor absolutely the gummy pro box and when I when I'm having trouble just regular old good old smooth move no teeny tea for five hundred thousand dollars it's the same stuff but it's tough man when that happens that's the worst feeling ever let's see what did I miss all right 20 pound loss and takeover Mindy job team Anita I think you need to do to stay motivated absolutely Gina for everybody it's different but it's so much fun to have so many friends to be doing it with isn't it hi Diane okay then I think I'm gonna have to go for a walk because I have all this nervous energy so I started to tell you guys anybody who watches back these things it's just you know what ma'am it's just a lot of those things are just a lot of money and you know I need to make this clear because this is a fight I have with my Disneyland friends on the regular when I go to Disneyland I like to buy things I buy everything I can possibly buy and I get the side eye for so many of my friends and are like well that must be nice it's my money if I want to spend my whole inheritance at Disneyland it's my money so it's your guys's money if you want to buy the teamy teas and the different things but for me I'm gonna spend my money at Disneyland something's seriously wrong with me don't you think Molly might agree with me on that though the Waltons Charlene who doesn't love the Waltons a bit on that set many a time it's the back lot at Burbank Studios and it's just that whole area right where that curve is where the Partridge family house is and then there's the Walton house and back behind that is the western sets because they have gone merch crazy that's why they're too focused on the merch right now and I'm having a little bit of the ticks because I need to get down there and buy something hi shonda you weigh in every 30 minutes okay well you feel about it you do it you do you that's the good saying to go by oh man you have no idea how much I miss it did you have you looked excuse us for just one moment though before I came on here I was watching on the YouTube the rise of the resistance opened at your guys's place today and everybody's going nuts nuts I say I'm not a Star Wars man but I watch Adam the Wu and everybody anyways and everybody's really excited see Marilyn that's the thing it's all about you know it's like the the single gals who don't have kids and grandkids and stuff and or whoever wants to spend their money on it it's everybody's got to do what makes them feel good but I seriously for I wasn't kidding this because I've had the team me and I've had the smooth move and they both have the same fine reaction they have the same ingredients only this one's three dollars at Walmart oh Teresa you and me and Molly all three I heard they did early in the day it broke down but then they went

couldn't be trusted you know what I did one time we were eating at Carnation Cafe and so we were in Carnation Cafe and then the bathrooms are behind Carnation Cafe and then one of the nicer little shops is next door and I told Steve I told Steve I had to go to the bathroom which I did but instead of coming right back into Carnation Cafe I kind of went around and threw the nice little shop and I

Hello and welcome to News Clicks International Roundup. Today, we look at key developments in Iran and Afghanistan, which may have major implications on the entire planet. To talk more about this, we have with us Praveel Prakash, the editor-in-chief of News Clicks. Hello, Praveel. Praveel, let's start with Iran. So Iran is still under the grip of sanctions, the U.S. sanctions. And payment has been one of the key issues around these sanctions. So the swift payment mechanism, which is basically dominated by the United States, has been a major roadblock in overcoming any sanctions. And after a lot of sounds and after a lot of noise, the United Kingdom, Germany and France have finally inaugurated their own payment mechanism called INSTEX. Now, do you see this as actually having a major impact on the whole situation or is it just a token mechanism? You know, let's put it this way. As far as the INSTEX immediate fallout may be, that may not be of major implications because the big entities who could trade with Iran within Germany, France and other European EU countries would be scared to do so because of their much bigger market or links with the United States. So therefore those who could or would be able to trade with Iran would be smaller players. But the importance of this is also the visibility of trying to work out an alternate to the dollar. Because if you look at earlier sanctions, which was the response of Russians to that was to create their own payment gateway, which would allow an alternative to the SPFS, which would allow an alternate mechanism to the swift. Now, what really is the swift system? The swift system was originally a European one. They opened in one of their nodes to be in the United States and they had two major in nodes and the swift system therefore came under the US law. That's what the US said. Because you have a major node in the United States, you have to operate under our law, therefore the swift system is also to respond or has to accept whatever sanction regime the US is introducing. So what happened was that if you did any transaction with any country using the dollar and you use the swift system, the US really had two shall be ways it could say the US sanctions had to work. One is the dollar is being used, therefore obviously it is a US currency. And secondly, because of the swift transaction that is taking place with that dollar, that is also under US law. So this is the way they have been able to introduce what I would call as extra legal sanctions in the world, which means international law is not used, only US domestic law. So US domestic law has become the basis of the US sanctions and it becomes global sanctions because most countries or almost all countries when they denominate their external payments, they denominate in dollar rather than in SDRs or Euros and any other currency. And because of the swift system and the dollar being both under US sanctions, therefore US law in this sense superseded international law and in fact the US could also say I do not accept the international law and if they want sanctions I can still violate it. So this created shall be said normally in the international legal system and this was really because dollar but the de facto gold standard shall be say after the US went off gold. And once the US has been acting in this manner outside the international legal framework, then countries are now trying to de-dollarize in different ways. One is of course oil, oil respect to the dollar and when it went off the gold standard, oil is the one which gave dollar the ability to be the international currency. Now you have the two, one of the three largest producers of hydrocarbons in the world, Russia, Iran and now Venezuela are the sanctions. Now here is the problem for countries like India, if we buy oil from Iran, we are under sanctions. If we do not, then we have the problem of how much can we buy and at what cost. So this has created a need for alternate mechanisms and now with the SPSS as well as the stakes, alternate de-dollarized international exchanges are being considered and I think this is a very serious threat to the dollar in the long run and don't forget, gold is still there. So Venezuela is selling now gold. United Arab Emirates is buying gold and even Russia when it has used in its hydrocarbon account gas which it sells to Europe and so on, when it buys, it sort of buys the dollars in lieu of gas, it very quickly converts it to gold. So both Russia and China accepting that there's a long-term threat of US sanctions, of course Russia is still already under sanctions but even China there is also the move away from dollar, not keeping their money in dollar but trying to shift to gold. So already we are seeing different moves away from the currency, the dollar as an international currency and I think in the global hegemony that the US exercised over the whole world by which it considered itself outside international law, Bolton is on record that he doesn't recognize international law, international criminal court is something which is illegal according to him, he's also threatened right now Maduro to that they'll send them off to Gitpo which incidentally is in Cuba and is also illegally occupied by the United States. So this whole logic of exceptionalism of the United States, I think that is starting to unravel, would be wrong to think it has unraveled, it has not but I think the portents are very important that already you can see this unraveling of the dollar hegemony which started after the Second World War as a pact between Saudi Arabia and the United States that they will see that all petroleum trade deal would be dollars which is what really underpins the petroleum dollar economy. I think that is starting to unravel and that I think is a very, very important issue. And we've already discussed this before but this is yet another instance of countries having to make some hard choices like it is Venezuela last week when the UK seized its gold reserves, the US imposed its sanctions and then so many countries right now had to ask this question what happens if their policies fall foul of the US and its allies, its entire economic system and its trade system could actually go into doldrums. So and also the countries who trade with such countries who fall foul of the US but who are dependent on really in most cases hard choices regarding hydrocarbons, European Union for gas, which comes from Russia, India for oil as well as other countries for Venezuela and oil. So all these are actually the ones driving it and you know the other part of it which I think has also been not been noted though it's peripheral to this discussion is the fact that Russia and Iran have diversified their economy to an extent that they are not so dependent on the external trade and because oil is what everybody else needs hydrocarbons or gas in this case is what everybody else needs therefore they can exchange for hard currency but internally they are self-sufficient in the whole range of things and that's the strength Iranian economy and the Russian economy has which Venezuela economy today does not have it's much more dependent on oil. And moving to the other country in the region Afghanistan so there has been rumors of a deal which in fact has been also announced although the details are not clear yet between the United States and the Taliban which would see the United States withdrawing gradually from Afghanistan in return for there not being space for terrorists so-called terrorists in Afghanistan itself. Now this deal is still very very murky because the Taliban does not seem to say be ready to negotiate with the Afghan government which is a key stumbling block for the whole process but this basically in some senses also negates the whole point of the war in 2000 let's start that began in 2001 so 17 or 18 years later we are back to square one and now it looks like it might be processes led by Russia or Iran which might actually bring further peace to the region. You know if you look at Afghanistan and I have said this I think in our discussions earlier it's a very rugged country it's a very hostile landscape for any invading power particularly for an invading power which is thousands of kilometers away so this really did not seem a very wise decision shall we say for the United States to invade Afghanistan why did it do so because it broke Afghanistan in the 80s trying to break Soviet Union and therefore had this supported this Mullah led insurgency which was essentially a shall we say Saudi Arabia Pakistan ISI and United States fomenting using religious identity not religion religious identity as a move against secular government whatever may be the differences within that government or others may have it was a secular government and Afghanistan had always a relatively secular state and unraveling all of that putting these forces in power and then complaining that they were doing exactly what they always said they would do which is to spread Islam resort which is what they you know what they had come to Afghanistan for and they had come in large numbers from Saudi Arabia Pakistan and other places and Taliban was again something as it has been said you know the Talibs were all being produced out of Pakistan's seminaries which were run by these radical clerics now it's a problem for Afghanistan it's a problem for Pakistan it's a problem for Iran it's a problem for India it's also a problem for Central Asia it's a problem for China as well because China also has RSVU Uighur population so all of this is the problem that the United States created for the region which Trump says they should solve the problem yes but the problem was created by the United States of course the regional parties have to solve the problem so I'm happy at one level that the United States which is no business being in Afghanistan is actually thinking of withdrawing I'm also happy that the United States at least is talking about withdrawal from Syria even though it has not and in fact it's put in a few more soldiers while talking about withdrawal if we take the long-term trajectory it does appear that the United States now thinks it needs to disengage for its shall we say interventions in Afghanistan Iraq Libya and Syria the four countries which they have intervened so all these interventions in the long term seems to be something that the United States may be getting out of the only problem is that having or thinking about getting out of that is also focusing them their attention on South America and therefore you see now a regime change operation in Venezuela and rewiring the whole Latin American states so Nicaragua could be target El Salvador could be target Cuba would be target Bolivia would be target already they have a regime change ruling Lula out of the Brazilian and Honduras for the matter Honduras for the matter earlier so Zelaya was removed so all of these means that their focus could be shifting to Latin America and away from West Asia so this is what one thing that will happen I think also it's important to understand that Afghanistan and Taliban does represent threats to the region of different kinds Iran we know that Iran was earlier a target of Taliban we know that you know 21 Iranian diplomats were killed by one section of the Afghan militants we know that there is a strong link between fundamentalist as I call them Islamic identity based forces in Pakistan and we know that they're also hostile to India so and we've also discussed Central Asia and other places so how does India Iran Pakistan China Russia and other Central Asian countries move to stabilize the region I think it's going to be very important and if any of the countries want to play a one-up and ship role or what is called zero-sum game role my game is your loss so your loss must be my game I think Afghanistan is almost impossible to control I think there the important issue is what is it India Pakistan Iran are willing to do together even if they have differing interests among themselves obviously the Jawahar port is an outlet for Afghanistan so both India and Iran have an interest in that it gives through Iran it gives India an access to Afghanistan which it otherwise doesn't have so all these things mean a collaborative exercise between Iran and India as well and I think Pakistan would also benefit if Iran Pakistan and India pull in together as one of the Iranian diplomats had said privately that while Taliban is a threat to Iran and India security for Pakistan is an existential threat and I think the Pakistan state and the Pakistan military which really is the quote-unquote deep state in Pakistan understands this thank you very much that's all we have time for today keep watching


The Thoughty Autie podcast. Now, what are the similarities and, like, crossovers between, like, the two diagnoses? Like, whether it be something to do with the actual, like, diagnostic profile or whether it's to do with your own sort of professional experience. Yeah. So, they are very similar. And sometimes people confuse the two, and sometimes people are diagnosed with one and not the other, and then they realize they have both. So I know we were speaking before, now, and there's over 50% of individuals with autism who also have ADHD. Some studies show 50 to 70% of individuals with autism have ADHD. So both ADHD and autism affect the central nervous system, which is responsible for movement, language, memory, social and focusing skills. But the amazing thing about it is if you get the services that you need and you find out that you have autism at an earlier age, there are so many things that you can do to help your language, your memory, your movement, you know, social interactions. So it can, like, it doesn't go away, but it's just like ADHD doesn't go away. But there are so many ways to empower yourself and to, you know, get the help you need.  It doesn't mean I don't tend to like it. It's something that I do quite enjoy, just in very small bursts. So like there's that adjustment and then there's things like sensory adjustments that I make pretty much on a daily basis. Where would those, you know, if we were to kind of look at it in a sort of broad sense, where would those like two things sort of crossover, like, because obviously there are sort of those similarities, but which kind of diagnostic criteria would you, would you say that? Yeah. That kind of crossover. Yeah. So both individuals with ADHD and autism can have intense fixations with interest.  So there's one crossover. We both have emotional dysregulation. So we have difficulty regulating our emotions due to the third thing, executive functioning issues. My enemy. So there is where you see a lot of overlap. And then of course I'm happy to share the differences, but that is part of the reason why sometimes it can be challenging to know, you know, if you have autism or ADHD or both. It's interesting to kind of, I think it would be cool to kind of zoom in on like the particulars of those things because I think for me, when I've talked to people who are just ADHD or know that they're ADHD, but maybe, maybe you might be able to stick. I don't know. You never know. But they tend to say that the sort of fixations and interest tend to be like a lot more. They tend to shift quite a lot. And one sort of comparison that I've found with autistic people is that we tend to have more stable sort of longer term fixations, interests on things. Yeah. I did a post recently on a concept called autistic monotropism. Oh, I saw that pop up today. Yeah, it's, it's, it's kind of a sort of quite a simple sort of concept that has a very complicated sounding name. But it's basically someone's predilection to be like, you know, when we're, when we're focusing on something, when we're interested in something, we get more of that sort of, we get more of those blinders, that kind of tunnel vision on our interests. And for a lot of people, particularly myself, in terms of hyper fixation, I'm like, getting really focused on something. I can often spend an entire day not, not eating, not, not drinking, not feeling like I need to go to the toilet because I'm so focused on like a project that I'm doing or a video that I'm doing. And quite often I have the real big issue of finding a cutoff point, particularly in the evenings. I do, I have full fell into the trap many, many times in my life of allowing myself to go past a certain time that I've set for myself. Because once I kind of go when I'm prolonged working for like over my set designated time, it's like those rules that I had to kind of blown out the water and I'll just, I'll just continue working and working and working until I am, you know, I get migraines or I get tired or, you know, there's some like external force on me. Yeah, Thomas, can I ask you a question? Does that help you relax too, by getting hyper fixated on any interest of yours? Yeah, it's, I mean, it can definitely be work. I mean, it's interesting because when, whenever I've done sort of psychotherapy and stuff around anxiety and sleep and such, they always recommend that I try and reduce the amount of stimulation that I get sort of during the nighttime and they're saying like, oh, listen to an audiobook or read a book. But for me, I need to do something. So I need to write or, you know, what I tend to do it during the evenings that works pretty, pretty much every time is I'll set my phone at the lowest brightness, I'll turn on the, the warm, the warm setting on it. And I'll just like tilt the screen away from me and I'll play like a game and then I'll just tend to kind of drift asleep when my meds cook in, but definitely there's a battle between stimulation, because sometimes we don't have enough stimulation and sometimes it's too much stimulation, right? Yeah. Yeah. And I get kind of restless if I'm not doing something like I'm not sort of having a particular focus on something. I definitely have that. Sometimes it didn't go so well and it didn't go so well last night.  It's like, yeah, you build, it's like a steam train.  And then like, if you want to break, it doesn't really sound like so much. You got to, yeah. Yeah, Dr. Hallowell talked about the Ferrari brain, right? The end, the Chrysler breaks. It's really hard to stop. Yeah. And quite often, if you, if you know in a good place and you kind of let it run rampant, you can lose a tire. Definitely big blowout. But like in terms of like hyper fixation, what, what kind of differences have you seen sort of between autistic and ADHD is? So my specialty really is ADHD. And I would also say that, and this doesn't go for everyone because it's a spectrum, right? So this is in a one size ADHD or one size autism, but I've seen more like anime and Legos and trains and what else. Like comic. This, yeah. Yeah, like Comic Con, I forget, I guess it's anime, but more like fantasy for the autism. But again, you know, I have children with ADHD and they're not diagnosed with autism and, you know, one of them loves anime and loves Legos. So I don't, I don't really know the, if there is like a huge difference, but I do know I meant more as like the, the kind of like the presentation of the hyper focus. Like I know with ADHD, you have like the, the focus, the focusing tends to be a little bit more erratic. And, you know, if I'll probably give the example for me, you know, if I'm, if I'm focused on something and I hear a noise in the corner or someone shouts my name or I get a text message, I just don't, I just don't know. So I just continue in that focus mode. But yes. Yeah, I think that's, I don't know. It's the answer, but I do know in like when someone in my experience, and again, this is not everybody in when someone is hyper focused or hyper fixated on something with autism and you interrupt them and you like really try to get them out of that. It's a, that transition can be intense. Hey, YouTube. I hope you have enjoyed this podcast clip so far.

All of my links to my socials like my daily Instagram blog posts are down in the description. But other than that, I hope you enjoy the rest of this clip. Yes. It could be really difficult, right? That anxiety, the frustration, all of that. Where they, they need that preparation. Now individuals with ADHD also can have difficulties with transitions as well. So, but yeah, I believe that individuals that I've seen with that transition in who have autism have a harder time transitioning, for sure. And what about sort of the aspects of emotional regulation? Like I know for autistic people, there's quite a high sort of co-occurrence of this. I don't know if you can, I think it's more of a trait, it's less of a like a diagnosed condition, but more of like the Alexa phymic kind of experience of struggling to focus yourself internally and understand or realize or identify what emotion you're feeling, particularly in the moment. Yeah, I think that in order to gain more of a sensory stimulation or like to stim due to what you're talking about, like individuals with ADHD might flap their hands, might rock, like those repetitive behaviors, the echolalia, repeat that same sound over and over again. And it's, it's to help them stay focused. And yes, yeah, right. And at the same time, they can have difficulty with like intense sensory sensitivity. So someone I'm close to who does have autism, little things might really bother him, you know, whether it be chewing, you know, yeah, noises from far away, misophonia, misophonia, exactly, exactly. So might have an intense reaction to those types of sounds. In terms of like ADHD, would you find that? Because I mean, just as a sort of guess, because I haven't done a lot of sort of research or work around ADHD. Would the emotional regulation, the most modest dysfunction kind of aspect of ADHD be more around things to do with like positive emotions or, you know, like. The so. Yeah, a lot of I don't know if this is answering your question, but even neurotypical. Oh, excited. Yes, we get impulsive, although not, you know, everyone with ADHD has impulsivity. We have a lot of mental or physical activity. We're quick, like you said, before to jump to different hobbies and tasks and jobs where maybe someone with autism will hyper fixate on something for a little bit longer than someone with ADHD. And as far as negative thoughts go, we, you know, all individuals have negative thoughts and then neurodiverse brains have a negativity bias on top of that. I mean, I'd imagine that a lot of the sort of the emotional dysregulation with ADHD would be like more akin to like not stopping and just continuing to like burn for you.  Well, yes, with autism, it's more like. I mean, to be honest, I experienced the same that same kind of feeling of, you know, burning yourself up by doing too much. But I think a lot of the emotional overwhelm that I experience, it tends to be with a sensory like almost always like 99 percent of the time the sensory and the social stuff. Yeah, is less less as much of me kind of just absolutely taxing my brain, if that makes sense. Yeah, the person I was describing before loves to tax their brain, but also has ADHD and autism.  Yeah, you know, we like doing our own thing. We don't like following rules. We don't like other people telling us what to do. But at the same time, we like that preparation. We like to know what's coming that can emotionally calm our brains.
