A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Aaron Hartman, MD ("The 80 Percent Rule: Why Perfection Isn't the Goal"), advising that perfection is unnecessary and recommending an "80% good" approach. The speaker encourages parents to consider vocational schools for neurodivergent kids while acknowledging practical barriers—vocational programs are often regional and may lack comparable funding/services, but inquiry is worthwhile.

It doesn't mean you have to be perfect. I always say 80% good. You got to have some wiggle rooms in there. But I think we're really doing a disservice to our kids by not giving them more opportunities and parents should be considering vocational schools. I think one of the problems with vocational schools is that, you know, they're often regional, so they may not be close to where you physically live. And also, most vocational schools don't have the same funding behind it, so you may not be able to get the same services, but it's always worth an inquiry.
