I recommend downloading the uncompressed 3.3.1 version file here: http://jquery.com/download/
You can also link to it using a cdn by including this script tag in your HTML file
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js" integrity="sha256-2Kok7MbOyxpgUVvAk/HJ2jigOSYS2auK4Pfzbm7uH60=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
However I do recommend that you download the actual file so that you can read the vanilla javascript in the jquery file to improve your reading skills and understanding of javascript

I've watched 2 minutes 32 seconds of the video. This is how my workspace is so far:

33,235 PointsHello Jazz. Thanks for your help.
Due to the changes that have taken place, there's a lot of information to take in, and my autism adds to this particular difficulty. My brain soaks it all in like a sponge.
I clicked on the link you showed me. I found the syntax for the uncompressed version but there was no download option, only a copy option.
I copied the script tag you gave me (version 3.3.1) and pasted it between the </div> tag and the </body> tag at the bottom of the index.html file. Do I have that right?

8,535 PointsNo problem Sean!
If you're having problems downloading the file, try right clicking the link and selecting Save As... or Save Target As... (depending on what kind of browser you're using).
You also copied that cdn correctly :) That just links your page to the script on the server side without having to load the file yourself. The videos will eventually teach you about that the more progress, but I've been trying everyday to read the actual script file and documentation to get a sense of how jquery can really be used. You're doing great!
