Today, I want to talk to you about dreams.

(譯者：Wink Wong/審譯者：Ricardo Jack) 今日我想跟大家談談夢想

I have been a lucid dreamer my whole life,

and making hot men spontaneously appear ...

還可以讓性感的帥哥 自動走近眼前

I can do things like read and write music.

我可以做很多事 例如閱讀和作曲

Fun fact is that I wrote my personal statement to college

最有趣的是我在夢中 寫了一篇自我介紹

To me, words are more like instincts and language.

who could visualize, design, test, and troubleshoot everything --

他所有發明 都來自腦中閃出的靈感

all of his inventions -- in his mind, accurately.

他準確地想像細節 再設計 測試 最後解決所有問題

Language is kind of exclusive to our species, anyway.

語言對於我們這類人來說比較高檔

My brain has the ability to hyper-focus on things that interest me.

我腦內有種能力 讓我非常專注有興趣的事物

For example, once I had an affair with calculus

that lasted longer than some celebrity marriages.

There are some other unusual things about me.

You may have noticed that I don't have much inflection

That's why people often confuse me with a GPS.

所以別人常常誤會我是一把GPS聲帶

This can make basic communication a challenge, unless you need directions.

除非你只需要問路 否則很難溝通

A few years ago, when I started doing presentations,

I went to get head shots done for the first time.

And I had no idea what she was talking about.

She said, "Do that thing, you know, with your eyes,

我像搜尋威利（兒童繪本）的樣子

as there is a reason that Waldo is hiding.

that impairs the basic social skills one is expected to display.

and growing up, I struggled to fit in socially.

My friends would tell jokes, but I didn't understand them.

My personal heroes were George Carlin and Stephen Colbert --

我最崇拜喬治卡林和史提芬科拜爾

My personality switched from being shy and awkward

to being defiant and cursing out a storm.

Needless to say, I did not have many friends.

The feel of water on my skin was like pins and needles,

當皮膚踫到水 就有如針刺的感覺

I can assure you that my hygiene routine is up to standards now, though.

但我可以保證 現在日常衞生已達標

I had to do a lot to get here, and my parents --

我克服很多東西 才有今日 我父母⋯

things kind of got out of control when I was sexually assaulted by a peer,

那時有一個同事侵犯我 一切失控

and on top of everything, it made a difficult situation worse.

平時我已經夠多問題 這樣更加雪上加霜

And I had to travel 2,000 miles across the country to get treatment,

我要穿州過省 橫越二千公里求醫

but within days of them prescribing a new medication,

但數日內 醫生開了一種新藥給我

my life turned into an episode of the Walking Dead.

從此我走進了如電視劇陰屍路般的世界

I became paranoid, and began to hallucinate

that rotting corpses were coming towards me.

but by that time, I had lost 19 pounds in those three weeks,

但在那之前，我已在三週內掉了19磅的體重

I transferred to a new treatment center that understood my aversions,

我的反感 創傷及患有社交恐懼症

and they knew how to treat it, and I got the help I finally needed.

懂得怎樣治療我 給我適當的照顧

我繼續做一些令人難以置信的事

One of the things with Asperger's is that oftentimes,

these people have a very complex inner life,

and I know for myself, I have a very colorful personality,

rich ideas, and just a lot going on in my mind.

But there's a gap between where that stands,

and how I communicate it with the rest of the world.

我跟外面的世界表達自己的意念

And this can make basic communication a challenge.

Not many places would hire me, due to my lack of social skills,

因為缺乏社交技巧 沒有太多人請我

這是我到鬆餅專門店上班的原因

Waffle House is an exceptional 24-hour diner --

鬆餅專門店是間頂級的24小時餐廳
