other people thinks he’s got problems, so, I suppose in a way my mum was, I suppose
another adjective for my mum’s relationship with me would be ‘protective’. (right)
Because, you know she, perhaps she saw that um, she might even have thought to herself,

word, it doesn't necess- it doesn’t mean, really smart, necessarily, it can mean other things
like um, you see things differently. Like I do, like Asperger's people do. Um, so, the way,
