10 Aspergers Symptoms - Autism and Asperger Syndrome Symptoms | The Aspie World 

cool stuff man. u talk real fast. Good money if u become a sales person. My friend has adhd, got kicked out of 20+ schools in nyc. Started a business, now brings in 25-50k a month selling stuff. Definitely an advantage

great to see how your channel (and yourself) has grown since!

The Aspie World I have a ? My bff I think he has this is really smart but the noise kind of bother him and he has Certain routines like a rearranging some stuff that we organized he gets anxiety something he does have one Hobby do But I noticed that the noise he hears more noise than average people is that a symptom to?

i nice! I’m inspired to also start my own business ... I’ve already dropped out of premed...

My son has all these symptoms without the anxiety element. I think he avoids things he doesn't want to deal with. But he loves going places and exploring, no qualms at all. He's successful career-wise, but awkward socially. He is undiagnosed. I never had a clue! He is high IQ, 137, and when he was little he was very talkative. When he hit puberty his voice dropped and he started stuttering a little. He went virtually silent. He recently told his sister he has trouble reading social cues. He also told me today, because he hasn't driven in a year (due to where he works he takes public transport) he feels unsure of driving now. He's very much a man of few words (until you get on his topic then look out! Fast and furious! sometimes too loud, too) and very easy to get along with, easy going, quite witty and informed. But I mean the food textures, clothing, favorite topics, organization, structure, all spot on. He does not show emotional reactions at all though. I truly believe he might have Asperger's but not sure.

Me too,one week it got obsessed with autism and here I am

+OsquiPlays haha. I love the way you said "one week I got obsessed". That not only describe my life to a T in general, but was also how I found out I was an Aspie as well. Once I found out its like my whole life made sense.

XD It's been a year and I always find myself looking for information regarding autism

I did a project on Asperger's in 5th or 6th grade (don't remember) since my big brother has it. I then realized I had every one of the symptoms and I knew I had it about 1-2 years before I was officially diagnosed as having Asperger's.

Me too I got it right bout one of my family memembers then I realised I had it 2 years ago but I kept quite because I was a single dad and didn't want to loose my kids they like me they need me I'm the only one who understands there needs, I got diagnosed when I had a psychological assessment to get my kids back and now I cant cos of my label maybe where just more evolved

Thanks!! :) People like you have been a huge help to me too. Sometimes companionable quietness is deeper but a lot of people can't cope with it. One person would give me a friendly wink sometimes when they saw some of my triggers gathering and that helped me hold my ground rather than have to run off. It sounds like you are a whole lot more cool than most of your co-workers. I think most of us have a huge barrier around our private world and it's VERY rare to be able to let someone in. Thanks for being there! :) Regards from Tom :)

Churrumais you sound like me and my friend my aspbergers causes my social anxiety, but I get panic attacks onstead

Thank you! I hope my son has people like you around when he's older :)

Alaina Loves One mistake mother's make is giving an asbergic child a little brother. It's common for younger siblings of asbergic children to develope depressive and often suicidal thoughts

Foodiestthechef You can't hear or see thoughts....

YES! That should be a top 10 Aspergers trait. That one applies to me a lot.

Same

Snap

lol I do this in a store, someone in that aisle, I’ll go to a different aisle first then come back and hope no one is there

I do that all the time and I don’t have Asperger

How did you discover that you have aspergers? I am in my 60s and wonder if I AM...I am a sensitive person...

Trying to keep everyone else happy might be why I'm not happy, we know what we like to do but sadly the world isn't made for us, im 21 so got plenty to learn so maybe my opinions will change in future and I will stop obsessing over small things and I will get better

Nice advice

I'm sorry if you ever felt like you have been treated like a creep. Most people are unaware of the nature of this condition. It is also hard for the neurotypical partners of aspies..... we often feel disregarded by our partners due to their inability to read our body language and be sensitive to our feelings, which to us is as natural and necessary as breathing. Aspergers are not creeps at all. But there is a HUGE opportunity for misunderstanding and perceived coldness/assholedness between aspies and neurotypicals for obvious reasons.

Same, some people just don’t understand that we are still humans. We just have a unique personality.

There is this great push for autism awareness, until one is past the cute kid stage. No one wants to be aware of us as adults.

I'm used to treating them the same way they do with me. Some will say sorry and they try to figure out how to behave properly, some will disappear from my life. PS: Sorry for cussing words

Well, social ability mean life or death in the olden days. (Like, identify friend vs foe) It is evolutionary psychology, we can’t really blame the neurotypical.

It is indeed.

Indeeed

Everything has it's Pros and Cons. I've Asperger's Syndrome too. I'm Sorry if I'm being rude though..

@ exactly. Well said. I just don't understand emotional thinking. If it's not logical I don't do it

As an Aspie, I can surely say that's damn true, I can easily do things that other can't or not easily can I indeed have a high IQ, probably caused by the austism itself, I have a big field of interests, I can master things from day to night like becoming Expert in chess in just a few days, I love solving rubik's cube and I have to take it anywhere I go, just to hold it in my hands can calms me down, I can think with a logic that others don't quite get, I can memorizing things pretty easily, and easily calculate the day of the week of any date. In the other hand I do struggle with a lot of things that people can easily do, that I cannot do easily. I use sunglasses most of the day time and sometimes at night even with the lights of my celphone being on the minimum possible, its still too bright and make my head ache. I use ear protectors bcoz sounds can rly stress me out and hurt my ears, even tho sometimes I can listen to rly loud music, also, I dont rly like eye contact but it makes me sad an frustrated coz I wish I could correspond more when people talk to me with their eyes...its indeed a bless and a curse at the same time

Yeah I can totally relate to that.

Same, but I do it to other people more than they do it to me. Not on purpose of course

I have the same problem. So I stopped talking too much

Yes, same happens to me. It's made for a sad relationship with my parents also, because they have no idea what Asperger's is like. And instead they just think that I'm trying to be disrespectful, disobedient etc.

I am the same. I also have extreme difficulty knowing when it is my turn to talk in a conversation, how to know when the other person has finished. But if they cut me off when I’ve started to talk, then I respond with the same and just start cutting them off too. A rule of thumb - I let pass two occasions of cutting me off, if they do a third, I start cutting them off. Just not to be impolite, anyone can get carried away, in the heat os discussion, and make a mistake!

Seriously though! Respect the process and progress! Thanks for all you do Dan !

Right like wow its aweslme how into.himself he has become. Its inspiring

lizard guy It's interesting when you compare this video to some of his more recent uploads! The man has certainly progressed with his ability to interact with a camera/audience.

Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).

Thank you for sharing your story with us, it is helpful for everyone. Thank you for the comment to, :).

isnt thay every gurl really??

+PIGLETSTER91 lol, in some cases. Just takes patients.

Well my ex gf was autistic i think, because she had some of these traits but not all of them, It was very diffcult to communicate and understand her.

Yes, can cause quite a lot of frustration indeed. Just need to find a way of being more direct and straight with them because I see Aspergers people as quite fragile minded

i am sorry to hear that. i am the same in some sense to that. i am very much alone, i do try make friends but it's just awkward. and when i do form a good friendship or i think i have they don't bother with me any more that or turns out they only tried to get into my pants. i stay in my room every day all day playing games... i get bored pretty easy, i have so many things to do i just get confused on what to do lol i live on my own but i find it hard to motivate myself or even get out of bed. but i love the freedom, away from being bossed about. i am seeking help though. i finally went to my GP for a carer of some sort. i hope everything works out for you, because nothing is worse than questioning your existence and feeling like you don't want to live because you don't belong. you sound like a great person, so let that shine =)

Rena Ryugu Dude that's everyone these days. In our parents age people went out and had neighborhood barbeques but today everybody is lonely, everybody spends their whole day on the computer. We live in a vvery isolated era, so you don't have autism just because you're lonely.

Nick Pastorino you are really stupid lol

EXACTLY my life, only difference is i don't want to die. Take this time in which you are alone, to research and find out everything about your mind to eventually come to the conclusion that having peace with everything, and by that i mean accepting yourself and the universe and loving every bit of it. However bad your physical life may be, the mind is capable of living a beautiful life because everything is state of mind. No matter how rich a person may be, they can still live horribly lives if they are stuck in an ego, constantly stressing basically living in a crappy little materialistic fake world. Then there are tribes living in nature who live very happy, spiritual lives and love it. Knowledge is bliss trust me. Knowledge seems like suffering for a long point until you reach a milestone where you are so wise that you realize that you are the architect of your own reality. And no matter what happens in the physical reality, your mind can always be at complete serenity, because the 5 senses aren't directly affecting your consciousness anymore, but you are just observing them. In this time that youre in your room, start being creative, find out what your passion is and follow it. It's better to be used to and aware of being alone, and get real joy out of company, instead of being used to company, and going crazy when alone for one day. I know, the missing love in the familie is horrible, they show their love through materialism, instead of a loving relationship. My mum also controls everything, but thats because my mum is a control freak and she knows it. It has caused me to still be a child in responsibility, while i am a wise old man in universal and life experience knowledge, because i have spent so much time on the internet researching and learning that my mind has basically become the internet :p And my other advise would be try your best to talk to your parents about everything, for example tell your mom to stop controlling things, and if she, like i think, wont stop, the only solution is to take responsibility for your shit and do it before she has a chance to, which seems almost impossible i know. But dont worry you'll be fine :)

Hm... Is there any way to get a pet, or a support animal? Are there any online groups for people with Asperger's /autism in your area who can help you out with suggestions /advice? I'm on social assistance and working hard to establish a low cost low maintenance life with an alternative job so that I don't have to stay on it. I rent a room in someone's house and fight the fight to keep out of that. It took me years to even get there, and some of the things that took me there were drastic. Hm- there are sometimes free resources in cities and towns for activities and hobbies. Walks outside to an uncrowded cafe or something or something free that's enjoyable to do might help too- exercise plus fresh air equals happier body, even if your mind isnt gung ho about it it can. Help. Hm... There's meetup.com, if that's in your area? There's also sometimes free therapy or mindfulness or something resources though those can be hard to find. Whaf your mom is doing isn't fair and is the opposite of helpful. That sounds terrifying and tiring. I'm sorry that I don't know how to help more. Also!! Special interest- for me it's art and stories and people and stuff but - whatever helps your heart chug along like- including that in your life and thinking critically about it to expand horizons and activities (like if you like one thing it can help branch out to another thing). Ohhh also maybe, try a pen pal? Idk, I'm not too good with letters but I know some people are!

Thank you so much this means so much to me! Thank you so much for the comment! Make sure you are subscribed and have the notifications turned on :).

@@TheAspieWorld your right about the change in routine. Us Aspies don't like change in whichever routine we have

Yes I was saying this to my gf, the more patterns and logos in my clothes the less I can concentrate.

same, I go shopping and buy the same black shirt and black pants. Also I prefer lose fit clothes. Ppl sometimes ask me why I buy bigger sizes. I can't stand clothes fit tightly, makes me itchy and makes me feel suffocating.

+Gayla D'Gaia Thanks for the comment.

+Chelsea Jones Yeah, I always get told off for talking to quick!

Chelsea Jones same here, I can't focus well in a loud room, but I can't focus in a quiet room either. But if I listen to music I can because I'm in my own little bubble, and I'm bot accidentally listening to multiple other peoples conversations.

Thank you!!

Yeah I can understand what you mean, :).

I know what u mean then i am sure i seem like i am lieing

Awesome! It becomes a great relief beginning to understand one's experiences within a new context. Not defective, just different gifts and tolerances. Nothing left to fear. You have already experienced the worst of it. Now you get to explore your aptitudes in a new light and relax about how you are just cast from a slightly different mold- so to speak.

Pretendshis Yesitsajok I definitely look forward starting this new chapter in my life. Now, instead of figuring out how to FIX myself, I get to learn how to make it all work. Thank you for your kind words.

Tarquin Mahoney And these are just 10 of his symptoms...Other Aspies will find there are other things they do that are different, but still makes them part of the spectrum.

I merely made what I figured was an innocent comment...didn't expect all this stuff....I'm just confused and a little scared now...

+Jen Dowie ...which is ironic, since I find it difficult to relate to anyone.

Don't be scared of this blowhard, Jen. Anybody with "Hitler" as an icon can be ignored.

David Lafleche Indeed....*squints at 'insults'* Plus he couldn't come up with anything better than playground stuff...what is the world coming to where even the insults reek of stupidity?

James, I’m sorry to hear this. My step-son came to live with us 6 years ago. His mother said he had Aspergers but we just thought it was the way he was raised by his mother and step-father. We thought that they just where not good parents. It takes time to see these things. When I started to read about the traits of Aspergers, it explained things that were quite odd too me. Like, why does my step-son sit on the ground, in the hot sun, with his legs crossed Indian-style when working on a project?Why does he refuse to wear a hat when he is in the bright hot sun. The more I read, the more I could see he had Aspergers. Knowing these traits helped me to see it. By the way, we all live in Arkansas! I wish you the best!

@@MadHatter841 thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sure you can imagine how frustrating it is when people don't understand your stepson or someone else you may know that has autism , but yet when you try to educate them, they shun you away. Autism awareness and other issues of the spectrum have seen a massive advancement , even since I was a kid , I'm almost 30. There's so much more opportunities for kids nowadays than ever before to get help they need, there's less of a stigma about autism too. I'm glad their is progress in the right direction.

sounds about right, when i was living at home i did the same, except the bad temper thing. i was the one that got blamed for everything. i could never do right so i just stayed in my room. i felt safe and happy in there. no one could judge me or hurt me. it's a weird situation.

I live with 7 people, i try my best to avoid them. And i regularly lay myself on the floor to relax, but always in my consciousness there's an alert that someone might spot me. So i always carefully listen for sounds such that i have time to arise myself, in effect i can't relax entirely. And if they should spot me, then the magic feeling of laying on the floor would be gone, because i'd only think about that they know that i lay on the floor. It's sad. Only peace i get is when i'm entirely alone (like in the forest running around like crazy with sticks fighting trees) and occasionally when with people i know very well.

***** HAHA WHAT A LOSER

00maniacmanny00 yes you are

Are you my sister? Lol

Lalka Bee Aw cool. That's kind of reassuring. But I have been diagnosed with it.

THANN YOU!! I know I’m so proud, practice makes progress!!

Thank you. That is really interesting, :).

+Andrew Baker Are you good at math???

+The Aspie World Are you good at math??

Mario Mirdita Nah. Im more creative (I dont like math) I loooooooove art.

me too

Yeah, it can be challenging.

Dude, that sounds like me, except i yell at myself inside because i let whatever the other person say affect me deeply. I have to break that concentration by distracting myself with something else, otherwise it will not end well for me.

Sarcasm hurts. It's hard to come up with a rebuttel. And it means they're sure of themselves or something, which means they might not be listening, and that's frustrating!! It's also mean and disrespectful. I've known people who use smilies that way and it got me so agitated that now when I see :) and :U I instinctively feel afraid.

This sounds like me, Core Voltage; except that I just may have figured out how not to get triggered in the first place. So far, it's experimental.

✌🏼

You should get a diagnosis

That is interesting, remember to have patients and give her the support she needs.

+Heather Cantrell Hey, I hope You get to have a diagnosis, I know it can be expensive.

Yes me too! I'm working on it. The more I learn about Aspies, the more I'm convinced. Thank you again for the videos. Very helpful!

Hey no problem, thank you so much for the comment! Yes please subscribe I have lots of content to come :)!

Hey welcome to the community!

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! I am sure your son is an amazing person.

+Helgi Hilmarsson Yeah I understand that!

Thank you!!! I really appreciate that.

Aw thank you!

Quite right indeed. Hypersensitivity issue are from spd or sensory processing disorder. Although it is common with autism it is not one and the same. People can have spd as a stand alone condition or from other non autistic neurological conditions.

Yeah, I know that feeling. Thank you for the comment, :).

***** Thanks. I am taking a 'special interest' in the writers about AS at the moment and whether they have come up with the same conclusion as I have. I started many years ago before they come up with the label. I think it was Dr Lorna Wing who brought AS into vogue amongst the professionals. Up to then they were confusing aspies with schizophrenics and heaven knows what. It is very important to be conscious how different we are from other people, especially neuro-typicals, and Tony Attwood does a wonderful job of helping us do that. So I can understand your love of his book.

I have stated in the past the idea of hyper conscious. Good distinction.

That's awesome, :)

bless your heart!

Lucky couple! He's blessed to have you and you obviously appreciate what he brings to the partnership. So happy for you both….

Thank you guys

You are exactly what an aspie needs. I also am on the wrong planet. (I'm an aspie) However, now that I'm aware of what I am, I've been able to somewhat control it, not completely, though.

+owlcu Yes these are all teaits

+bub merley I'm unsure about whether or not you're seeking assistance still, as you've published this comment nearly 5 months ago, but I'd like to share that I'm 19 years of age and was the recipient of a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome one day prior to my 19th birthday. I happened upon a website a number of years ago relating to Asperger's Syndrome, and I found that my own idiosyncrasies aligned rather well with the "symptoms" - there are a minimal number of subjects that I very much enjoy (two that I appreciate at present are Portal - a video game - and the theory of evolution), my sensual modalities are rather potent (e.g., I enjoy particular textures and store them in my pocket if I become anxious), I experience troubles with communicating physical sensations or ideas that appear in my consciousness, my executive functioning is poor (which is especially evident in how - or whether - I progress through coursework), I maintain a stringent routine and am largely averse to spontaneity, and so forth. I initially wasn't able to encourage my mother to schedule an appointment with an evaluationist; however, once two individuals (absent any prompting from me) inquired about whether or not I was "autistic" my mother acquiesced. May 18, 2015, I visited a psychiatrist who was rather familiar with the condition. In preparation, I drafted a seven page "composition" documenting the behaviors I exhibit that are in accord with the diagnosis, as well as a few asides regarding why I suspect I may not warrant a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome or ASD. In addition, I deposited a few charts portraying the results of online "Aspie examinations;" that I completed. (Incidentally, I very much suggest that you prepare one for yourself, as it will aid you to convey to the individual evaluating you what you perhaps are unable to via verbal communication). Even so, the woman perpetually solicited from me a response to the following question: "Why did your pediatrician not suggest an evaluation at a younger age?" I was unsure about how to reply, and I simply dismissed it with an "I don't know" and a bit of stimming. It remains a tricky string of words even as I type this statement - I admittedly have been equipped with a sort of indelible skepticism relating to whether or not I genuinely warrant a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. Nevertheless, following what I suspected was unduly extensive IQ testing (which was essentially a method she employed to determine whether my strengths and inabilities aligned with the average pattern of those with the condition) and what she noted was a similarly extensive "dissertation" that I drafted, she remarked that what I present with encouraged her to conclude that I do indeed warrant a diagnosis. I felt liberated - the diagnosis, while being littered with a sort of stigma, accounts for why I operate as I operate, and will assist me with how to navigate through the larger society intact. It does, more so on particular days rather than others, but it does. As for you, my suggestion would be to not be concerned with age. I'm a sample size of one, of course, but I have encountered articles online depicting a male or female, oftentimes of a greater age than you, who acquired a diagnosis at said age. If I recall, this RU-vid user did at a later age as well. Age is in essence irrelevant, although it may be the impetus for a question or two from the evaluationist. If you truly suspect that you may be on the spectrum, to use a colloquial phrase, then seek a diagnosis - it may indeed aid you as it has me. And if you ultimately do not, then construe the result as either a miscalculation, which may encourage you to obtain an evaluation from another credible individual, or be satisfied with the idea that it quells your concerns a bit. I wish you the best - if you'd like to ask any additional questions, please do. :-)

Talking too loud is a symptom that I'm noticing

+Lesley Ann Jarvis Oh thank you!

Hey, thank you i am glad you like my video!, what is your sons field of research / interest ?

You are welcome, thank you for the comment, :).

Oh interesting, best of luck if you choose to get a diagnosis. Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).

Thank you!!

im trying to get the point of NOT CARING what others think about me and these videos helps alot!!

KimeEdits I relate to this the author of this video aswell as you. I think i also have a borderline Personality disorder or bi polar... ugh my doctor still hasn't fully diagnosed me. I cut out relationships all the tie and get irritated so easily. I can't be around screaming children, barking dogs or sirens when i'm upset because the symptoms are just exasperated.

+meekah919 castro Thank you!

You're welcome 👍😊

Or perhaps they're involved in drugs and alcohol because they enjoy it

+Corey506 My advice to anybody is skip the alcohol and drugs because whatever superficial enjoyment that may come out of it is overrated. They won't miss out on anything except pure misery from those poisons.

Jeez have I changed over two years. At this point in my life I completely understand why people use drugs and alcohol... life can be hard, man, and sometimes you need something to get through the night. But yeah, of course some challenges are still there, like anxiety and depression, especially when starting university, but really i've learned to become more aware of myself. Yeah. I don't quite know why this comment from 2 years ago was highlighted. :P

Hi, thank you for the comment. That is interesting, keep in touch via my Facebook, link is in the description, :).

As person with aspergers himself, i hate how society treats us like we're something different ,like we're retarded or something. Everytime i make mistake (even a tiny one ) people say " Its because he's autistic or he has special needs,or even he's handicap,etc ". Its like everytime . My peers are the worst though. Everytime i do something , one of them has to antagonize and mocked me for it. I get special treatment for my condition even though people also say i'm very smart . At my job , my old boss would tell customers without my approval about me being autistic whenever i had trouble founding what the customers were looking for. Like really. Even non aspies makes mistakes from time to time. Whose here perfect ? I hate being treated like im retarded child then praised for being smart . Its annoying. I'm tired of how people tease me for my music . Like it bullshit how whenever i played certain song from my phone , people will sometimes tease me for it yet no one said anything to next person playing theirs. Like im sorry im not like rest of you. Dont get me started on the whole babytalk thing either . That also gets really annoying. Im just fed up with how society works and how things are done. Not everyone of my peers are like this just for the record, nor do the ones who makes excuses for me do it to be mean but i wish that they're to realize that im just like everyone else. I drink beer, i smoke weed from time to time, i work, i love, i hate, i think etc. Im from the United States , so im not sure how things are in U.K and other places but i want you to know you not along in your struggles either.

I had that exact issue when Doug a presentation on my field of research. Follow me on Twitter, :).
