I do like are you?

Do you like surprises or no?

I do you like surprises?

I don't like supprise?

Why not?

I don't know. I've never thought about why I don't like them. Maybe is it lack of control?

Maybe?

Maybe? But I love celebrating. I like celebrating other people, not myself. Oh do you like parties?

I do like parties. Do you like parties?

I do like parties for other people?

Oh my story.

Yes.

Do you get offended by ages?

But by ages?

I just want to make sure you don't know.

This is probably crazy to hear. But nothing offends me.

I'm god, nothing offends you. Nothing, not even when you were a kid.

Oh yes, when I was a kid. So when I was a kid, before I really like understood myself. My dad was a TV producer. We grew up very wealthy, a lot of money, and kids would make fun of me in school and call me rich girl. And and I don't know, I just kind of wanted to fit in because I wanted to be liked when I was young. So I think as a young girl, I just wished I was what I perceived as normal. Okay, they really like people, and I just want people to be happy.

Oh, Tanner, that's something do you feel like? That's maybe something you kind of have in common with my story?

Tell what was your childhood?

Like, what do you have?

I have autism?

So did that ever sometimes make you feel set apart a little bit?

It did?

Yeah, so that's something you guys have in common with autism.

I struggle with anxiety sometimes. Yeah, sometimes things within me.

I understand that. And so you were diagnosed with autism H four Is that correct?

Yeah?

Okay, understood? And so at school, what would kids say that would make you feel sad or they weren't informed about.

I don't remember a lot.

Can I ask mom?

You asked my mom?

I think Tanner, for you, it was a little bit more of having to go to a separate school from siblings and cousins. You had to go to school forty five minutes away for specialized teaching, and that it was a little bit hard to be at a different school was because we had to make a long drive every day to and from and maybe sometimes kids didn't always understand your interests.

And then you were lucky that you did meet a lot who did.

And we're very kind, but we'd sometimes had trouble with finding friends that wanted to talk about and think about the same topics as you. And you know what, and so, look, you have something in common. Yeah, the story struggled with it from a different for a different reason, but everybody goes through it.

That's something you guys have in common.

Very different, but I understand. So mainly it was peers, not so much people in school.

Right right, right right, okay?

And what would kids come up and say to you that would make you feel bad?

I remember a lot.

Do you remember their time in Cornerstone when Taylor had to stick up for you? Do you remember that or kind of you don't remember?

Kind of what happened?

Can you tell the story?

I remember I see by the neck, yeah for you, Yeah.

You squeeze that he must have deserved it.

I was thinking about the time Taylor stuck up.

For you at the time.

And then gave me a spa in that day.

Oh my god, what did he say that he?

What did Evan and Trent say? Did they say something that bothered you?

Not really, I was just located and mature.

Oh you just made a bad choice.

That's a bad choice. That that's made a bad choice. Since lout kids make bad choices.

Absolutely, sometimes adults make bad choices. Yeah, that's part of life, right.

Yeah, just like we all know, poach can change and learn that's not right. Show aguilla and we all know why they shoot gulas at first. It's because they want money and they can sell that. They can sell the third teeth to place to get money. They can learn that's not right to do that.

What I didn't know this.

My mom told me that that's why you should poach shoe. Poach your shoe guillas at first before they learned that's not right to do it.

We both like animals.

I try, and I learned that when they're hunting girls at first and showing them that just makes them a bad person. They're just making a bad decision.

Tell much why are you so interested in gorillas? What movie do you think about?

A lot?

Majoe Young, I love that movie. You've seen it.

I have seen it.

Hey, I learned the bad guy in it, Andre Shasta. He's Eastern European and he speaks Romanian.

Okay, so my job at the Sherp's Hotel. I graduated from Climb's Life April twenty twenty two. I've been working at the Sherp's Hotel about two and a half years. I want to tell you why I do there.

Yeah, tell me.

I facum the boom maty facing the boom mat up on full of that to the valley. I facing the carpet on their front ship. I facing the carpet under the welcome to desk. Him. I vacuumed. I mean, I calm third throw bathroom sim I put more toilet papers and more parapetalis and the bathrooms for really anymore. I want to tell my friend's names there. My boss name's Miss Katrina, Well she retired. And my friends there name's Charlie Dwight, Nolan, Hannah Christa Ryan, Lola cheryld Michael Dennis.

Wow, we have a lot of friends there.

Yeah.

Wow, that is amazing. So when people come in to check into the hotel and you're working there, do they ever say like I see you on TV?

They do sometimes?

Or do they think like he do I know him? How do I know him?

Like?

Because I was on TV when I was young. People sometimes don't know how they know me, but they're like, no, my face, So they'll say did we go to high school together? Like they can't. They don't know how to place me. But so does that happen to? People say like, how do I do I know you? Uh?

Maybe? Sometimes? Maybe? Sometimes?

What if we noticed like at restaurants and stuff like when one person comes up and then what happens.

And fans go out to me?

A lot of people. Once one person notices you, everyone is for sure it is And how do you How do you feel like if you're eating and a fan comes up?

Yeah, I feel good that.

Yeah, so you're okay with that?

Okay with that?

He does a great job by doing something and he'll just get up and take photos of everybody and thank You're really good to ask people their names, are right?

I am good to ask people their names.

You are. I've noticed you're really really good with names. And that's something I've always struggled with because I doubt myself.

What do you mean you doubt yourself? Because when people doubt something, they don't believe it.

Yes, So when someone tells me their name, I hear them and I think, Okay, I got it, But then when I go to say it again, I I'm like, did I hear it wrong? What if I got the name wrong? If I say the name when it's wrong, I'll be embarrassed. They'll be mad at me. So I struggle with.

That me too, Okay, what do you mean you struggle with mom?

I struggle with it too.

Like when someone I meet someone new and they say their name, I'll think I know it for sure, right, and then like twenty seconds later, why do that?

But you know what, I think that's a part of your autism. That's really cool because you have a really really.

Strong brain for names, and like when people give you facts or names, you hold on to it really well and your recall is really good.

It's oh yeah, right, yeah, no.

Really, that's something you're extremely good at that most of us struggle with, Right, That's something that comes very easily to you, and it's.

Hard for me.

Yeah, names are hard for me. But I am really good with dates. I'm really good at acts, Like if you tell me something, I'll remember it. Yeah. Dates are a big thing, Like I'll remember like we were here at this time on this date, like I'll always remember, Yeah, the names not so much.

Can remember like specific days that we did things when.

We were little.

He's really good at Tanner. What have we talked about, like how your brain works? What do we think your brain is?

Like? Can you tell me I still remember moment.

Almost like you're seeing a movie.

Like almost like I say, I'm seeing a movie.

I feel like that, like you see pictures running through your mind, have a memory.

Yeah, yeah, but that's not how your mind works, mom.

I think that what you know what, Tanner, I'm honestly not exact.

I think I think more in words, okay, But the way you recall things, it's almost like you're seeing it again, right. I feel like you can see the picture of the day, or the picture of the memory is in your brain really clearly.

Yeah.

I feel like I just sort of have more.

Like feelings and words in my lie uh huh. I think that's one way our brains work different, if that.

Makes sense kind of about yours, Yeah, kind of.

Yeah, that's how I recall things too. Yeah, any experience I've had with someone, I can see it, like us talking today. It could be a year, two years, and I'll think about it I'll see it play out as a movie in my head and that's how I remember it. Okay, So that's a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it's it's bringing memories to life and it's in your brain.

Yeah.

I love that. I haven't talked to that many people that have that same thing. It's really special. Yeah, except you see the names and remember the names. I don't either. There's the difference. Do you want to stay with the hotel? Do you love your job?

I want to stay there until I forty four?

Right, you're going to retire at forty four?

Yeah?

Do you Who was it that just retired? Was it Regina?

Would miss Katrina?

Katrina?

See I got the name together.

I'm sorry.

We do fun things together.

Oh, of course you'll stay friends. So miss Trina? She she just retired. What was her job at the hotel?

She was my boss. She worked in your office.

She was like a manager, a manager manager. Do you think by the time you retire at forty four, would you like to be the manager of the hotel?

No?

Do you want to stay?

Oh?

You want to stay your same job?

Right?

I understand that because once you like what you're doing.

Yeah, besides, I'm a I don't think I like going up downstairs, like while I'm in my sixties, seventies and eighties, do.

Be retired by then?

What I know?

I know, Yeah I don't like going upstairs.

Now, well you don't, but you're only fits too right now you're Yeah.

Yeah, I never liked it, never, but why not? My brain is very active. I'm very creative, and so I have ideas all the time, and I talk to people and I love. That's how I my energy is spent. Yeah, but physical is not my thing. Like I was never in school like good And did they call it pe in school for you you're younger than gym class. Yeah, I was never good at that. Yeah. They would tell me, like try to do a summersault or a cartwheel. I

I don't think so.

I could swim like a dolphin.

It's a good thing.

I can swear because I can swim. It's so I think it's amazing that I can swim like a dolphins.

How do you move through the ocean shore with your hand?

Like like you go like up and down, up and down, really cool, up and down.

It looks like a dolphin when you swim.

You really do you like swimming in the ocean? War or swimming pool?

Like swimming in the ocean. Yeah? And the pool?

Wow, okay, he.

Goes really deep for long, really goes down.

I'm a little bit scared of the ocean.

Is it because the sharks and jellyfish.

I think, I don't don't think I'm a great swimmer.

It's okay, Yeah I can.

Yeah I'm not great, but I can swim a little. So I think I worry that with the waves and the pulling of the ocean that I could get pulled out to see so that would be very scary. Yeah, so I like to stay in a pool.

I understand that you like to saying the point and that that that you're worried about that.

Yeah. I like putting like my feet in the ocean and seeing my kids play in the ocean. They like it.

I like that.

Elephants are beautiful. What did you find out about elephants in person that you didn't know?

Well? I knowic their chunks do feel soft, but not soft like blankets.

Like blankets, Yeah, blankets can be soft sometimes if you wash them a lot, they're not soft anymore.

It's not good. It's sad.

What's sad about it?

It's okay to tell you. Yeah, it's it's not a good it's a it's a good movie. It has a good ending. But it's about them doing scientific experimentation on chimps.

Oh is that bad?

And people stopping them. Definitely. It's about them testing you know, drugs and things instead like ultimately experiments like for humans. But they do it on the monkeys and they have them in cages and they mistreat them and it's not good.

Oh yeah, that's not good. I understand that. That's it's like the.

Version of poaching, like not good. Like I said, there's this intentional they know what they're doing and it's not nice. Right, yeah, but yeah, don't watch that one. They said the monkey's free of that.
