sometimes kids with aspergers can do things that are off putting. i sat with a kid in a class that put his leg over class during the -- over the head during class and 17 years old and it's off putting. we can own it and now what do we do about it? it's not distracting to everybody fine but how do we do it in a way we're honest with everyone in the room and reaching out to each other appropriately. >> you have a project and working on a thing, a whole school based project. >> yeah, well -- anyways thank you guys. this is really a great conversation. just a little bit about where we're going. "bully" the movie is backed by a team, the bully project, and we have been bringing the film and educating, training professional development largely thriewr our partnership with them and provides that to school districts and classrooms across the country for free, so educators can sign up, and if and to take it seriously and embed it with the kids and the adults in the community we provide them with oftentimes busing, but often free tickets so they can see the f

they're not so asperger's people are not really seen as a threat the same way that sociopaths are seen as a threat you you talk throughout your book about your mormon faith and your association in the mormon religion for one point you say it's almost like a bat you know if if the mormons are right then i've got a nice eternity and if they're not so what i had you know a good set of rules to live by i'm curious do you think it's possible that joseph smith was a sociopath. you know i have been asked to speculate about a lot of famous people being sociopaths it's possible that he was a sociopath i have not really picked up on traits i actually don't know of anybody who's famous that i would say i think for sure this person is a sociopath and i think it's largely because sociopaths are so difficult to identify and they can be confused with a lot of different disorders it's almost like you would have to be inside somebodies mind to be able to understand what exactly distinguishes a sociopath from anybody else or from the deep you know types of people so i thought the book was so interesting

in this case the embarrassment was, look at all these people with aspergers disorder. york apologizing everyone it was normal. -- on sorry, everyone who is a little awkward. the real pressure was coming from the school system's which were paying for services. and other founders. the problem was, indeed, from the point of view of the apa it looked like the diagnosis was too easy to get. and so when it came time to revise the kef three day decided to kick it out. so as of wednesday all the people with -- aspergers will be cured because in the same way at all the gay people were cured in 1972. it is just deleted. no, the interesting thing about that story is that when the epa announced their intention to do this there were flooded with complaints from the people with aspergers. they were surprised. the woman who ran the committee that decided this told me and she was surprised to hear that people have made it identity around aspergers disorder. there were surprised say here that they did not want to lose the identity. she was shocked. so the surprising part of that to me

, are perpetrators and aggressors, so i wanted to work on that so i'm working with kids and with aspergers and autism and one thing that struck me is we need to be able on the flip side, so i'm now writing to kids when you are the one that has more of a thick skin, whatever you want to call it, how do you interact with kids who are more sensitive? just how do you do that? how do you recognize the signs when you're around somebody that does calibrate and has a different definition and what bothers them and what doesn't and if we can do that and i'm asking autistic kids and asperger's kids and normal kids and what are the things that trigger these things and what can we do and i want you to know what i am doing right now and i am working with boys and i finished the porn section and honest i'm doing all of it and why do girls send naked pictures and this week we're creating concrete strategies and scenarios so they can picture what to do when they are up either way against these dynamics and if we work together this way and really name kids w can do things that are off putting. i sat with a
