Episode notes

Oscar had been trying to solve a puzzle, this elaborate fantasy that his father gave to him before he died. And I think something to the along these lines we see with him testing every lock, that's part of where those intelligence islands would be. When you see people that live with his neuro diverse life is that they have the ability to lock onto tasks that fit within their hyper intelligence island.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
