But psychologists are mostly N.T.'s.

Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Mozart,

they all had lots of imagination.

They had Asperger's?

Probably.

When I was younger...

I would have just thought

you were sexually excited because I was.

That's called mind blindness.

I had to learn to ask

what other people are thinking.

I understand.

It's okay.

Oh.

I re I really should go.

Okay.

I'm really sorry about your father.

Oh.

Can I see you again?

Um, well, I'm I'm right upstairs, so

Great. Okay. I'll see you.

Hi.

- Do you have a minute?

- Oh, hey, Beth. Sure. Come on in.

Thank you.

Oh, you think it's a bad sign

when the description of a school...

bores its director?

Um

What do you know about Asperger's syndrome?

Oh.

Well, it's a developmental disorder,

kind of a high-functioning autism.

What does that mean exactly?

Well, there's a broad range.

It could be hard to tell.

- It could be severe social interaction problems.

- Uh-huh.

Maybe I should get in on this,

interview the child and we can get some ser

Oh, no, no. It's my neighbor.

He has it.

But he's really, really sweet...

and kind of interesting.

Yeah, sometimes they can be quite brilliant.

It is on the autism spectrum.

Oh, you know, actually I think I have a

This is a first-person account.

Pretending to be Normal.

Oh, no, it's it's not it's not serious

- Hmm. Okay.

- Thank you.

Sure.

Oh, Beth? Would you

just take a look at this for me, please?

Sure.

So, you're saying, really,

that he's not prime relationship material.

- Right?

- Um

Not really.

- Well, well, it

- No. That's okay.

Thanks.

So, um, subtracting your father's liabilities

uh, credit card debt,

funeral costs, fees, et cetera

from his assets reduces the, uh- the estate-

roughly, $25,000.

And he bequeathed $5,000...

to the Kids at Risk Music Fund...

$ 10,000 to you, Mr. Keats.

Oh.

So, as his primary beneficiary, AdamAdam?

You inherit the remainder.

That would be the death benefit from Juilliard...

and the funds from the T.I.A.A. retirement plan.

Also, there's approximately

$300,000 worth of equity in the apartment.

- So, assuming you sell,

after closing fees and taxes, et cetera-

- Sell what?

We presumed that you'd be moving

to a smaller place.

Move?

Without your father's income,

the mortgage payments are-

I don't wanna move.

Easy.

Think of it as an opportunity.

You might wanna try a different city.

Mr. Wardlow...

Adam has never been out of the city

alone in his life.

Well closer to home then.

- With the income from your job

- I don't have a job. I was fired from my job.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That makes

the equity in the apartment even more valuable.
