This episode originally aired on November 7, 2023 under the title “McEnroe is Autistic.”

“He's so intense. He's different. John is hyper antsy—born with that DNA that's got the extra.”

“An epic player, definitely one of the best in the world and certainly the best in the world, particularly in 1984.”

“He says, ‘I turn the game of tennis into a math equation, and I was already good at math.’”

“And it looks like he's psychic. People are like, ‘how does he know where the ball is gonna come?' He's always there before the person has even hit the ball.’ And none of the commentators can figure out, like…Because he knows physics.”

“All Autistic people, we have that expectation sensitivity because we live in a world full of chaos and we need things to be predictable. Hence, the patterns.”

“He has a meltdown, and the crowd flips out, and they switch on him. They switch sides. And he doesn't know what happened because he was right.”

“Autistic people, due to our hyper-connected neurology, tend to have hyper-empathy as well.”

Can you relate to McEnroe’s big emotions? When have you been treated unfairly, and asked to sit down and shut-up, when you KNEW you were right?
