Sad to see you don’t make videos anymore 😢 I remember when you uploaded regularly, quite a while ago now. I hope you’re doing well, a life update would be awesome!
Thank you for this video. I really needed some kind of baseline (any other person's experience with a ratio of work/activity/social obligations to rest) to test out because I had no idea where to start and it's been impossible to figure out even after a year of trying. You're the only person I've been able to find who has said anything about the ratio that works for them. Now I can test it for myself and adjust as needed. Thank you very much <3
Thank you very much for your statement. My son and I both have autism spectrum disorder - formerly Asperger's Syndrome. Franio was interested in cars, dinosaurs. And now different countries. I, in turn, am interested in tea, yerba mate, herbs, history - I am an archival historian, as well as the countries of Far Asia and the Middle East. Finally, I wanted to tell you that in Poland, back in the 1990s, it was very bad when it comes to society's perception of various mental differences or diseases and disorders. To say that you go to a psychologist and God forbid to a psychiatrist was a powerful disservice. Poles as a people are changing. It's much better now. There are institutional and other problems. On the other hand, we have very good adaptive qualities as a nation. However, it kills, in my opinion, too much individuality. We want too much to be Americans, Englishmen being in those countries suddenly forgetting their own tradition or language. And we are different from others. Just like the rest of us. And I think that's beautiful.
@neurowonderful Amythest Schaber, Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. It's been 4 years since your last video upload, and I was hoping that you are still around and doing well. Best Regards, Garrick Pattenden, MD. Windsor Ontario. 🤔🤗
When you are generalising Autism and talking lies from your perspective - do you know that 50% is non verbal and will never tell if they have pain without a tablet? Biomedical interventions is not curing autism but it is helping brain to function and lot of people can learn and sleep with these interventions. So please don’t speak for others and tel lies.
Would you do a talk on dangers of adult females and predictors .. the inability to recognize motive and intention of men Predictors.. on traveling with friend it happened many times ..they spot the vulnerability and stalk ..watched man follow visually and then followed her..She thinks men are all friendly and she wishes to be loved .. ????
I have a very special Autistic friend .. she went back to her country after staying with me for ,18 months .. I miss her and send music poems pictures photos songs and many other words to encourage .. I get frustrated when she fails to respond esp after Several days .. Watching you reminds me of the very many challenges in getting through each day... And to be patient remembering she is Autistic.. I do get frustrated as gaming takes a lot of her time and constantly flicking through games discord on phone and game videos .. Thanks for reminding me that I need patience and kindness ❤ any advice would be appreciated ..
I know the last reactions are 3yo, but I am still going to try and ask about stimming (here 'cause I can't leave a reaction on the older videos about stimming).. What if you and your partner (or a family member you live with) are both on the spectrum and one of you stims in a way that is distressing for the other one?
I know this video is 3 years old but I just wanted to say that you've taught me so much and happy (slightly) belated birthday hope your living a happy life, I appreciate you. Also sounds like a really good book! its now on my list.
Hi there, I was just checking out redbubble and saved some of your art. Then I saw you had videos so I came over here. Sorry to see that the last upload was three years ago hope everything is OK! I was hoping I could make a request for a print but as you seem inactive here I'll just wait..maybe for response.. Greetings from Netherland
I wanted to comment on how good your 'Ask an Autistic #15...' video is but comments were disabled there. A lot of things described there put words into things I find myself needing too even though I was initially looking into your videos for help about my autistic son. (Things such as needing 'unstructured downtime'.) I see a lot of similarities between my son and I. He has been officially diagnosed with autism, but I haven't been and have never been tested for it. Thank you!
Thank you thank you. So much.! All of your videos are so informative. I'm 60 and just discovered I am autistic and AS. I'm plowing my way through many books. Your videos are wonderful explanations of why I am. Been crying for the past 30 minutes just with understanding. Thank you
Thank you for these videos, you are very good at what you do! I really appreciate your thorough explanations, and personal examples, of concepts that I can relate to. I have fibromyalgia, sensory sensitivity issues, etc, etc. I’ve never been formally diagnosed on the spectrum, but I’ve just started researching it, thank you for this information! You are my favourite gem!
Humans are animals. Scientific facts. Animals feel pain, joy, love. Be kind to all animals. Disability is not a death sentence. Disability means being different, differently abled, that's it. Disabled humans are not monsters or machines. We are all equals.
I've never had a word for it, but everything I do is ran through the "do I have enough energy to do this? No? then I don't want to do it."-check. 1:3 days feels small lol.
Amethyst you were gone from RU-vid for a while. I thought maybe you went to prison for speaking out! I'm glad you didn't lol. Keep advocating you gorgeous girl!
Thank you so much for the vid it's so wholesome and for tha app recommendation I just checked it out and I was actually looking for something just like this! Your vids always make me feel understood <3
Hi I am new to this channel and I am also new to the ASD community. Please forgive me if that is not the name that is preferred. The last few years I have been having problems with mental health. I have only recently started coming to the realization that I may be on the spectrum. This video specifically hits home with me because I did go on a trip to see family and it was draining for me. I keep trying to talk to my parents about what my needs are and why I get angry sometimes but it is a slow process to get them to see what I have come to realize. I desperately to find a community. I would like to get an official test but I do not know where I can go to get the proper support that I need. Any advice is appreciated and welcome. Thank you for what you do it has helped me so much.
hello, thank you for doing this channel. I am autistic as well. i have a channel on you tube too. and i have been severely damaged by covid as well . i just found out about your show and subscribed. hope to see more of your videos. thanks for all you're doing. Brian
Your videos are awesome! I am a self diagnosed level one autistic person at the age of 20. I also have a congenital visual impairment that scientist and research studies have linked to higher chance of also being born with autism. I was wondering if autism can affect the gross and fine motor skills and balance such as walking or going up and downstairs because I have issues with these things too and a lot of my visually impaired friends really don’t seem to have these issues. Along with everything else that makes me feel I have level one autism that none of my visually impaired friends go through.
You have a new subscriber, though whether it's me or my Ikea Sharky plush I don't know xxx (47 soon). Fortunately my parents give my money for my birthday & Christmas so I can buy what I want/need.
