Transcript excerpt

When I first heard the phrase having a touch of the tism, I thought it meant having a touch of antisemitism, not autism. Like, the history teacher would say that historical records might indicate that many of weird quirks might be explained by having a touch of the tier. And I thought, well, no shit. I think he's got more than a touch of the tism. I think he had, like, you know, a left hook to the dome of the tism. And this one time, one of my friends invited me over after school to watch curb your enthusiasm. He said, you can come over, but we gotta keep it down. My older brother can't do loud noises. He's got a touch of the tier. And I thought, well, that's kind of a serious issue. When did you realize that? And he said, well, you know, he's always been awkward socially. He spends all day online, and come on. He's 26 years old and has a hyperfixation with trains. And I thought, okay. Well, I guess that kinda makes sense.
