Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q And so when, how long was it from when you started to talk to doctors until you got the diagnosis?
A So at six months, we started talking with this pediatrician, um, Said, hey, you know, we think something might be off. She's like, yeah, we think something might be off too. It's a little early to get the diagnosis. So, um, he didn't start walking until he was two and he's, and he still didn't talk. And I don't think it's untypical for somebody to not start talking until they're after two years old. So we got the diagnosis at two, two and a half years old, somewhere around there. Um, when, when we thought that we could get A real diagnosis other than just some weird anomalies of, oh, they're not old enough to be able to do these things anyway.

Q How, what kind of food does he make?
A Um, so we, we actually, we go to the grocery store every day. Um, so primarily like hot dogs, chicken nuggets, you know, the, the, the staples. Um, and every night we go to the grocery store and he gets his can, most nights he gets a can of SpaghettiOs. Um, at the grocery store and a, and a treat. So, like a, a can of SpaghettiOs, um, like a little, like a little Debbie cake or a Hostess cake or something like that, and a drink, and It's, it works really well because we get to socialize him, go to the grocery store, he gets to walk around, pick his own food for that night, and then we go through the checkout, and then he gets to practice all those things. So that's how we've, um, that's how it just naturally happened for him to do his grocery shopping. He likes it. It's a nice activity at the end of the day, um, and then we don't have, Cause if we had 12 cans of SpaghettiOs, he would eat all 12 cans of SpaghettiOs that day. So, um, it tends to work out pretty well for all parties.

Q sign up. And there's some great free Giveaways that you're going to get when you sign up, and another one when you refer a friend, which I'm working on, and you will be able to see that when you sign up. So I hope you enjoy this episode with Ken Cox. Ken, you're working on privacy and data. What scares you the most about the current state of this situation?
A What scares me the most about our current situation is I work with a lot of kids, and I have a sixteen-year-old daughter and a twelve-year-old son. They are sharing data with, with systems and companies and governments that they have no idea the long-term ramifications. They're agreeing to these contracts, basically contracts, privacy policies, terms of service, whenever they're signing up for these services, and they have absolutely no Idea what the long-term ramifications might even be like nobody does. We're living in a world today that the ability to store massive amounts of data isn't that challenging anymore, right? The cost of storage is way down. Large companies can buy huge amounts and the technology is getting extremely good.

Q So, so what's, I guess let's start with what's been the most rewarding thing about having a son with autism?
A I mean, the most rewarding thing is no lines at theme parks. You know, that's like, that's, you know, when you, when you've got to pull the A card and you get to park up front at the theme parks and you don't have to wait in line to go on the rides, that's, that's pretty rewarding. Um, I know that's super shallow, but I think the most rewarding thing that it really forces you to look within yourself really deep. And when you're raising I, I only have experience from raising a son with autism, not a daughter with autism, right? And they're, not that raising a son or a daughter is dramatically different, but your expectations are different whenever you're a father to one or the other. Uh, sorry, I'm getting I'm talking in circles at the moment. So, um, I, I think it's just the thing for me is that I had to, to be the best father that I could be for him. I had to change a lot about myself, a lot of my own perceptions of what being a father was. Um, and that was pretty rewarding at the end of the day.

Q surely there's a way to, and this could be controversial in itself, to correct for that. One would hope to repair that. I feel like some people go, ah, how dare you try to change someone's like, but if they're aware and they know that there's, there's an issue and they are not happy with it and they're frustrated by their own situation, shouldn't we try to like help them?
A We try and, you know, unfortunately there's a lot of snake oil on the market, right? Um, But we try a lot of things. Like, we try a lot of different things, and we, we communicate with Joe about it, and we ask him, hey, do you want to try this? Do you not want to try this? I wish that we could try more, right? I wish that the laws allowed us to experiment More with Joe, right? But they, they currently don't, so we're, we live in a world of, of high prosecution, so we don't. Um, but we are looking for other things that will help Joe. Gut health, I think, is a big part of it. Um, you know, I, I don't, I'm not a Vaxxer. I don't believe that Joe got a vaccine one day and it turned him autistic. I don't believe that.

Q Why do people have a problem with that?
A Um, Because for, you know, we're at a camping trip and somebody asked, asked me if my daughter could have a beer and I'm like, well, it's not my decision. It's hers, right? You have to ask her. And if I see her getting out of hand with it, then I will step in. But at this point in her life, she's got to go out and make decisions on her own. And it's not, it's not my place to tell her what she can and cannot do, what she can't put in her body or what she can't put in her body. Now, if they asked me if she could have some heroin, I would have said, I'm going to fight you to, to the death to make sure that that doesn't happen.
