A brief excerpt from a March 13, 2024 YouTube conversation (host: Vishen Lakhiani) discussing whether neurodiverse people are more intuitive. The guest argues that many top traders show traits of spectrum disorders, suggests teaching neurodiverse children skills that leverage their strengths ("SK skills"), and frames neurological "pathology" as potential ("Your pathology can be your potential").

So you're saying that people who have neurodiverse brains might be more intuitive?
Yes. Because, I mean, if you go, for example, to a dinner, all of the top traders, it is a walk through the park of a spectrum disorder. And I have often thought that it would be wonderful to teach children who you can tell their neurodiversity is going to negatively impact their lives, to teach them the skills where they're superstars, because there are those SK skills. It was synchronistic and intuitive that I had this brain that couldn't memorize the circulatory system and get into medical school, but could respond to these targets, these questions, get these pieces of information that other people couldn't. Your pathology can be your potential.
