Taki's Past Life

This episode is a special one for me.I sat down with my longtime friend Taki — someone I’ve known since 3rd grade — and we had a real conversation about what it’s like to grow up feeling unseen.Taki has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, but this isn’t a conversation about labels — it’s about being human. It’s about wanting to be understood, wanting to be treated like everyone else, and navigating a world that doesn’t always make space for that.We talk about identity, friendships, feeling overlooked, and what “normal” actually means.This one isn’t about speaking for him — it’s about listening.Taki TroungTikTok: @takister
