An Autistic Mom with 2 Autistic Kids (And Husband with ADHD) 

I can relate because I'm autistic and I have trouble socializing with others as well.

This interview really helped me as autistic black woman too

Thanks for making this video.

💙💙

Yessss! I would love to be Jasmine and Kasmir’s friend!

🪦

Fr shes such a mood😂❤️

also its sending me her equating movement she describes or immediately comes to mind when thinking of her husband.

Hilarious 😂!

She shouldn't worry too much, I don't understand twerking either.

She's mean, but sure.

@@smokejc 🤔🤔 you clearly don’t understand autism but “sure”🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

@@smokejc I feel like being mean comes with intent. If she did say something that you felt was mean she didn’t say it with the intention to hurt you, at least in this video I never got that. As opposed to me saying, for example, “You’re an irascible wayward of ilk to an albatross with no sense or understanding of context” but that is, just, for example’s sake of course.

@@Puuuurrrr There is no "normal" family. The word "normal" is just to overrated.

@@Puuuurrrr the word albatross isn't used enough nowadays.

When he said other people are missing out on her (when she masks in public) it brought tears to my eyes 😭 so sweet

idk did you see the way he looks at her? Like a shark with blood in the water.... lol!

Explain that please ​@@prettypunk123

Yes, and he loves her and their kids, and he is good Dad and Husband, this gives a lot of hope to all

They are all great. But i am listening to it and thinking without realizing she is doing the same thing to others that she gets affected by. But she is being blunt about it and others are being snide and underhanded. There is something great about polite honesty. Choice of wordings. Oh and remembering everyone has different likes and opinions.

i was laughing when she was roasting him and herself idk why 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname Great observation. The difference is definitely intent. Jasmine will say that stuff with no intention to cause harm or hurt, but is 100% blunt and honest about it. Other might subtly insinuate that stuff, but the intention is to cause harm or make fun of someone at their expense. However, because the second style is more common and "understood" by neurotypicals, when an autistic person is just being honest because someone asked a question, their bluntness can be seen as being extra rude or hurtful, because most people will assume it was meant to be hurtful, but most people say hurtful things with more subtlety and ambiguity.

@@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026 Thats society for you tho, since it molded around nts mostly and narressists. NTs like/accept white lies and bullying, but cant stand genuine caring honesty.

She’s definitely beautiful and so humble. That’s why I think the world has autistic beautiful people to show us that their are people that are still honest in this crazy mixed up world. Oh by the way I have a handsome great-nephew that is a very high functioning autistic beautiful soul. Very smart at 14 years old.

❤️ they're so in love :)

Loved her references and “… what is that thing and why is it twerking”😂😂😂😂

Noticed that right away...right off the bat! I like her glasses and the way she does her eye makeup....I think it showcases her personality!

She’s very pretty 😊

I don't recall hearing how they met or what they thought of each other upon first meeting. Maybe I have to listen to the video again, however, I wish they talked about that.

You'll get there, Brother!

As a young teen girl it inspires me too!!(Im a undiagnosed autistic person) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@ilikemuffins7170 I’m just wondering what makes you think you’re autistic if you’re not diagnosed?

dont be a breeder

You will my friend. You will. It gives me hope too for my sons who have ADHD and learning disabilities. Good luck.

I can't always tell when people are being sarcastic and I have no sense of humour but people say I'm funny. I suppose I have some use afterall

I was thinking the same too! Idk what my exact conditions are, I am awsre enough to say something isn't working though, and I could definitely watch someone relaying their history readings for hours. It could be a good outlet and introduce more online friendships at least... There's bullying in being an online presence too, I'm afraid... But that's another can of worms lol

Yessssss!!!! 😍✨ I would be a dedicated listener

That would probably be a great outlet for her.

The silence after she said that was so loud

alot of times the people with so called disabilities are more interesting to converse with and easier to get along with than the so called normal people .

How High?

same! i like her voice a lot too, her long vowels are lovely

And how about when he was gaslighting her experiences and calling her too sensitive? SHE was the graceful one and stayed with someone who wouldn't understand her. She gave HIM a chance. Who was being understanding then?

@@kdelka81 simply saying someone is too sensitive isn't gaslighting, coz some of us are. it's gaslighting when there's intention to manipulate which I don't believe he has, he seems caring and loving towards her even when she _as many autistic people_ tend to sometimes blow things out of proportion.

@@kdelka81 I wonder if they weren't a mixed couple, you'd still have the same hostility. 🤔

@@Nnusa90 There's the problem. Your definition of gaslighting is wrong. She was telling her truth, he was saying, no, you're wrong to be sensitive about this. She wasn't wrong but someone was trying to make her believe she was. I'm not judging him. I'm being empathetic to her situation and think, what a great woman for giving him a chance to learn a s understand and grow together.

@@sleepyote If you aren't black, you have some real deep seeded issues to examine why you would assume negatively in association with a black woman, and worse put it out there in public. Black trauma isn't a weapon for your youtube warrior comment arsenal.

That's what I was thinking!

@Nova Vega right? I think she'd make it very entertaining with her explanations and thoughts. Because she's so lively.

*Bump*. Pass this along special books!!

Same!! She would be a great teacher. Online would be great for her bc she wouldn’t have a crazy loud classroom in person

I dont care for history usually, hut there's a few streams that I really enjoy. I think Jasmin would be amazing at it!

whether or not this is the same woman from your past, this story was awesome to read, and your icon made my day! lol

Awesome I hope jasmine sees this ❤

I was thinking the same thing . I don’t have many close friends and none who live near me. She seems like an easy person to get along with and someone you actually want to be around .

exactlyy!! i would love a friend and honest and as beautiful inside&out as her

Same here!! She has such a wonderful personality and I would loove to listen to her story more!!

She’s so empowering and beautiful I love her

Yeah but what does that even mean lmfao

@@keridesireeGerBaldi That means she's great.

@@ΓεώργιοςΝτέλμας yeah couldve just said that maybe instead.

@@keridesireeGerBaldi it's a meme my guy

@@thingl7859 o, nice

Right 😭😭

She would be offended by calling her funny because she said she's always the butt of the joke. She doesn't want to be funny in that way, she wants to be normal and taken more seriously. If you watched the whole video, you'd understand. So please delete your comment. She hasn't said or done anything funny throughout the video. Nothing was funny. She was serious the whole time.

​@@Face_Reality I feel that Nomi was referring to like, charisma.

Derp

Yes autistic people are the funniest people. My sister has autism and she makes me cry I laugh so hard sometimes.

These are the things I think of and I would never tell my friend to consider. She mentioned it once and I didn't know what to say because she sounded frustrated. But she has achieved much on her own.

Same, the second my mom said "I need to finally admit I'm ADHD and so are you" I had a whole realization of my life and past experiences. I looked at everything different from that point on but in a good way.

I have so much admiration for you, people like you allow my son to be who he is! Thank you goddess

Nbsss she got that south jersey voice and sounds southern 😂

I think its a Baltimore accent

Sounds like Philly to me

Yeah def Philly

@@oliveranderson7264 do you know where maryland is? lmao

Omg right!!

I have obsessive-compulsive disorder; we'd make a great triumvirate.

hey, same! would love to know more about your experiences.

It's not uncommon for autistics to learn to be so hyper-vigilant. I have a few autistic friends who are empaths and super perceptive of minute social cues and changes, including my sister. Me on the other hand, I'm pretty oblivious but it makes me look more social because I don't get so anxious about some of those details and presume everyone is a friend in the first instance. It's funny how them being able to read social cues more sometimes makes them less socially successful than the ones who can't read them. Just goes to show how complex communicating with NT people is.

I’m like this. It was a painful learning process but once I got it down people start telling me “You are so easy to talk to.” It made me feel amazing! I learned people simply want someone to hear them and because I have no preconceived notions of what is normal, they feel like they can tell me anything. I still have moments where I say something unusual or inappropriate in public situations and realize it by other peoples reactions. This used to cause me so much discomfort but now it’s okay, another learning experience. I also ask people now “Would you like to stop talking to me? I have a difficult time gauging when someone doesn’t want to talk to me. It’s absolutely fine if you would like to go do something else now.” It makes people laugh, sometimes nervously, but it’s the best way for me to be sensitive to other people’s needs.

@@qwandaryAnd when those highly sensitive and highly empathetic individuals who learned those skills as a survival method are emotionally abused then the potential for developing personality disorders is immense. BPD + autism is not a good time

@@SobrietyandSolace Oh absolutely, a lot of the ones with stronger social skills have BPD too, and it's absolutely a result of being perceptive enough to pick up on how they were being bullied, and then being abused further for being aware. If they don't have BPD they often have severe anxiety... :(

I honestly feel like a very confident and open individual could easily be friends with an autistic person. I don't mind being told a truth that I didn't wanna hear 😅 it's OK that you don't like my clothes or that I talk too much.

I totally agree like how amazing💜

Yes! Very articulate! I want to read a dictionary now 😂

Those with autism tend to have to be, it's a skill they are forced to learn to circumvent the constant misunderstandings the condition puts them in socially.

@@adaharrisonn true

I’d loved to hear her history stories and I am sure I am not alone. Perhaps she can start a youtube channel. It will be a space to share her stories and what she knows.

@@gretchenmorris9241 I agree😊

He's just submissive.

He didn't come off as submissive to me at all.

@@WarezSanboy what?😂😂😂😂…

@@CookiesCreations-tm5ts laughter abounds in the mouths of fools.

@@WarezCommentary Yeah you don’t sound as smart as you think you do

It's the opposite for me (I'm not autistic btw but im just telling cuz why not Iol) I over share and explain WAYYY too much because I have difficulty knowing when to stop sharing if im really excited about a topic, or worrying that the person I'm talking to thinks im making stuff up. I also over explain because of just pure excitement and being comfortable around a person im speaking to. It's never bothered anyone I hope, except my mom a bit. She asks why I explain things in such detail even when she says she knew what I was talking about. Sometimes I just can't explain why I do that.

@@pigenn Maybe you just love to talk very much :D

@@VvarezZ well, sometimes. I usually keep to myself unless I'm around people I'm comfortable with. Which is rare lol

Some of us overexplain, usually as a result of being misunderstood through our entire lives

It's not all autistics people that don't elaborate and it's also dependent of context and excitation a lot! But autistic are generally very honest people, and sometimes too blunt, but it's not for beeing mean at all. They don't like hurting others, they're just don't quite understand or see social cues and are easily overwhelming by the environment and emotions. And like she said, everyone is so different, they're only some tendency. The spectrum is very large and autism is independent from the personality ! The 5 sens are affected, but very differently for each autistic. That made the perception and behavior sooooo different. And one can be very different depending to the time : Sometimes they doesn't speak, or too little, other times speak very well, or too much. And some speak so well, they seems too arrogant to others because of that. They can mask or not, be shy, extraverti, isolated in their own world or excited to show something to everyone... and often, others person only know one part if they don't live together. A lot grew up with problems of bullying, so a lot of anxiety is build up, they learn how to mask a lot by fear of rejection and isolated themselves cause it's too exhausting to mask and to fear beeing rejected all the time.

Same :(

I agree :)

Try to find her n become cyber friends!

Yes find her! Message her about history 💚

Girl, me too!!

Yeah he's a cool dude. He seems like he has a lot of patience. I think this family puts a smile on God's face for sure.

Yea he’s amazing. Seriously. Blessed with patience and understanding. They are absolutely perfect together. I love it.

We aren't talking as much about him because he wasn't the central feature of the video. Nor was her sister or her kids. But they can all be awesome nonetheless! It's just that there was way more footage from Jasmine and talking about how everything related to her.

@@mahna_mahna I get that he wasn't the central figure. Just trying to show him some love. Doesn't mean Jasmine and her sister aren't amazing in their own way.

Agree

Yes we could learn a lot from herer

I found the little bit she shared interesting.

I would love that. Her personality is so awesome

The baby girl is so freaking cute, she got her daddy personality and the boy got moma's.

🤣🤣👌🏾

😂😂😂

Lool i laughed at that too

If history was taught that way people would pay attention!

I was thinking she'd be a popular history professor.

I would love to be your friend

😘

How does it feel seeing how you act in someone else?

@@opaquely racist

@@opaquely I'm sorry nobody cares about you.

I SO agree!

Somebody ought to subjest that to Her, you’re Right!!

Absolutely!

I wonder if she'd ever be willing to do Drunk History.

And a TikTok

@@misslottieish what instagram

I thought the same thing!

Me too, she's amazing!😍

I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t wanna be her friend either .. lol I have an autistic friend, and it’s levels to it. But he’s like the male version of her. And literally one of thee most loyalist people I’ve ever known.

I thought the same. I’d love to be her friend and talk books and learn about history.

Same!

Her husband takes it well. He's a real good guy with her

you love her because she "goes in" on her husband? What has her husband done to you? Or do you have a problem with men in general?

@@IkesPimpHand I dont think that's what they meant

@@lornaanderson1459 what did she mean then?

@@IkesPimpHand it’s called a joke

OMG you named my 3 things I hyperfocus on. Any sci-if that deals with existence or deeply philosophical concepts

Right BFF

Yes I agree with you totally

I would me honored to be her friend. She’s a interesting genuine women.

Thats a red flag actually. She will twist that mindset into excuses for horrible behavior. Narcissist 101

Bro is simping

They were being rude.

Very few Autistic people find any true friends who actually respects them for life.

I need to know more about Marc Anthony !!! 😄

@@henriettaabeyta1457 I think im one of the lucky ones to find friends. Never give up on yourself bc u never know what friends you will make if don’t try. If u try you might make a friend

@@ilikemuffins7170 Careful how to talk to strangers............ Courage confidence and perseverance aren't my issues of what I lack it's until 29 year only Grandma cared enough to help at all. The majority of those I meet outside I'm treated in the rude ways we're treated when regular people have no ideas about solutions and use that as the excuse to abuse us..................................... What people aren't patient about with me is I have trouble starting a conversation, but I also have trouble knowing if I rambled in what I wrote or not. Regular people don't understand, more often my silence isn't me not paying attention it's me too confused to speak alone. So far I only know one person in public who speaks in a way that keeps the clarity clear, and understands me enough to see the truth........................................................ I'll be 32 this year.

You’re pretty yourself! Ommgggggggggg

Yes she is beautiful

Alot of people are understanding towards different people. It's sad but true.

I agree with everything you said. I want to be her friend!

The way he described her as being 2 different people describes me perfectly. When I'm around other people, I freeze up and don't know what to say or talk about, but when I'm at home or around my circle of people, I'm funny and outgoing. She's got her own style, and i love it. Plus, her kids are precious.

Yes,I would definitely watch.

I agree!!!! :)

Omg me to!!! Oh gosh she should so start one! Watch, her first video would be 8 hours on a specific history topic and I would watch every minute of it 😂

I was just thinking how I'd like to see more of her.

Yes. A lot of people would watch

She is socializing through history someway

I love this perspective!

That makes a lot of sense. And yes, society these days is very confusing, so it doesn't surprise me that there's so many people who struggle with social interactions.

I find the part were you mentioned that with history u know where they come from and where they are going so cool. Thank u for giving your perspective

People and their interactions, emotions , and some jokes are stuff are confusing to me. Especially when they say one thing and do or mean anothwr

Very interesting

What are the signs?

Wow very interesting indeed!

Absolutely!!! I was diagnosed after watching my son and the lining up of box juices at the age of two...lol

How does this affect your relationship with your child? Does it bring you two closer together by both of you having the experience of being neurodivergent or does this make communication even harder?

honestly, I would watch her history channel! from romulus to romulus!

@@JKnight1316Romulus to Romulus is a solid RU-vid Channel name too tbh.

I agree she should have her own channel. Like a day to day coping channel. I could see how so many people could learn and benefit from it.

Gosh!! I would so subscribe!

So well spoken Not to mention.. I could listen to her SISTER for days. Such a **commanding** presence 💕 love these ladies (thus, I’m certain… I LOVE their mama too 💕)

Ikr! I’d honestly love talking to her and her sister!

Yeah,I honestly don’t see her really being like she hates anyone,she may seem that way but the more as it was said,You pick up how she is & for who don’t see her as the greatest doesn’t understand that,even anyone else even others different can be Straightforward 😄

Same

Considering taking a history course at a local college Iam sure some people in the class will be on the spectrum and be as into if not more into history than yourself.

I couldn’t get this exact thought out of my head

SO TRUE I DO NOT KNOW MY PROBLEM GOING SCHOOL IN THE 1970S PEOPLE OR SCHOOL DID NOT CARE

The school system (in CA at least) has actually made it much harder to diagnose black children with autism. I work in an SDC class and in order to receive a diagnosis, they have to be officially referred to an outside psychologist for testing versus our school site psychologist like other children. Supposedly it was to counter the over diagnosis of black children in the past. I don’t understand it and it still seems like a form of segregated care because all other children can more easily begin the diagnosing process. I need to research it more. It makes no sense to me every time someone tries to explain it

A lot of us our undiagnosed. I think I could be as well. My son is autistic. And my cousin is too.

Under diagnosed in many… even Indians. It’s just unfortunate

very true i didn't get diagnosed until i was 18

❤️❤️❤️

I am wishing for all good things to come your way 😊❤️

yesss. this is why representation is important!!💕

Every good person is afraid of failing as a parent whether autistic or not, so welcome to the club.

@@PetroleumJellyJuggernaut There isn't a lot of black autistic representation in the media or on social platforms. I think that's why she said that.

God bless you luv😊🙏🏽❤️❤️

You’re amazing and don’t ever let anyone tell u different 💞💞☺️

Oh she knows. Humor by autistic people tends to be of the deadpan sort.

I didn't know I had ADHD till about a year ago (I was 17/18yrs old), I knew something was different. I have r half brothers (Same mum different dad's) and they all got ADHD from my mum, I don't know why they didn't get me checked when I was young. Also throughout the past 4 years I've found out more bout my mental health. ADHD, BPD, anxiety and depression - great fun, still trying to understand my own self

I Llike how ppl in the comments are acting like ADHD is a real condition I've had it my whole like along with ODD and bipolar and ADHD is the most normal disorder barely anything noticeable or serious

@@skyjacksonA1 Depends on the person.

This is very refreshing. I have a daughter that’s about to be 8 and is autistic. I often worry about her being bullied and her future.

​@Agrubbs100 Nothing to be worried about. She will find her place. Only thing you need to worry about as a mom is loving them and soothe them.❤ Every child goes through it at times. I was bullied for most of my life, it was hard but i got through it with the help of my mama❤

I’m confused on what autism is because she seems normal and your comment doesn’t sound like something an autistic person would type

@Eugene-tq2kr You might be used to understanding autism in a way where they are not very functional. This is someone who is a more functioning autism. I'm personally used to highly intelligent autism. Autism is not always as obvious as we would like to believe. It can be. In this case, her autism has more to do with social cues and social interaction. Interviews are easy cause there is a set question, and you will have an answer. But at a party, she might be too stimulated to think clearly about how to approach or speak to anyone. We might feel nervous naturally but someone like her might feel totally stuck. "Deer in the headlights" behavior.

​@@Eugene-tq2kr autism is a spectrum, symptoms are different for everyone and not everyone with autism behaves the same way or has a similar experience

It’s a reality though I’ve felt this way my whole life and people are shocked when I say I only have 5 friends and that’s as a adult as a kid I had 1 then 2 by middle school

Lol

@@Smoreno86 currently as an adult I have zero friends, my boyfriends are always my only true friends sadly

Woman with autism are way more likely to get sexually aussulted. Maybe this is one of the reasons

Can confirm, very much so lol.

Yeah and she is a WOC so it’s rare for women and people of color to express their neurodivergent obstacles, stories and other attentions.

yeah I'm autistic and I am naturally quite "flirty" when I'm comfortable with people cause I like to tease and make a lot of jokes and compliment them etc, can be hard when people assume I'm into them and they take it personally because I seemed to be having a good time and suddenly change my mind (in their view), but if I'm actually flirting I'm more likely to be quiet and shy lol

lol I was literally raped after writing this because I didnt read the situation correctly...well

I’m 65 and I think my 36-year-old is on the autistic spectrum. I never thought about that before till a couple years ago. he lives with me because I’m disabled and my husband died and he’s almost deaf from the army. He does work and has veterans disability but I wish I would’ve known about 36 years ago. Things would’ve been different though they’re not bad. I understand.

I was dying lmaoooo

She should be teaching or tutoring this stuff!

i had to rewind this part it was hilarious

@@FeyIndigoWolf a history youtube channel for sure❣️

@@bridgetquinones totally!

I would love to see how she deals with having a family and raising children having this anchor on her life. I suspect that I am autistic also. She and I seem to share the same path, I'm always being told something is wrong with me or I'm crazy, people Normally run away from me, and I to wear headsets all the time, can't keep a job, when you get a job I'm always ostracized, it's a lonely world but I have gotten use to it, I have nor been diagnosed because I don't know how to

Yesss

Omg yes!!

Been black for 24 years and nobody Ik with mental disorders or disabilities was shunned. That’s not the black community, that’s your community that does that. Bipolar/Schizo Effective, and Paranoid Schizophrenia is heavy on my moms side. None of us have shunned each other or been shunned by society, even through hospitalizations and hella incidents. We love each other. And every black family Ik has members that have mental health disorders. They love heavy. Surround yourself with better people. Ik it does happen, but we don’t shun our people for dealing with things we’ve seen before and even deal with. I pray your family and friends accept you. Stay up sis.

Absolutely correct! I'm 43 and there's definitely an issue in the black community when it comes to mental illness as well as differences. I have recently begun to accept my differences after having an autistic son and a daughter that appears to be on the spectrum. This time and space has allowed for these differences to be discussed and embraced as opposed to when I was younger. It's refreshing.

why do you have to make it about race. you aren't oppressed

@@IntrovertedLoLo her comment had nothing to do with oppression and everything about representation. I'm unsure as to why you feel you can come on here and completely invalidate someone's experience is insane to say the least.

Wait are you her sister

Me too

Yes, better than Xanax

She's telling her whole life story I'm literally tearing up

Ditto! Love her vibe. She’s cool & smart. She’s more in tuned with people than the average neurotypical, it’s refreshing. Her husband is so thoughtful. They’re a lovely relationship example and teachers of great humanity 💛💛

I would totally too.

I wanted to say the exact thing as you, but you bet me to it lol

Considering taking a history course at a local college Iam sure some people in the class will be on the spectrum and be as into if not more into history than yourself.

but she doesnt like to be seen. fame isn't for everyone

@@vshcvsh98 she's nowhere near famous and if she was to take a history class, I don't think anyone would give a s*** about her being on a RU-vid channel. They would be so on the spectrum that all they would care about is history and she could thus relate in those terms. I don't know what makes you think she's famous laughing out loud

I agree

As someone with ADD (or maybe AuDHD), I get it too but differently. When my autistic girlfriend (who IS way out of my league btw) and I just started talking it really felt like we connected so easily. Like being on the same wavelength, we just 'got' eachother. It was incredibly easy for us to have open and clear communication and speak the truth without feeling judged. Now we can just both be 'mask off' around eachother (almost) all the time which is great and we've found a great balance in supporting each-others disabilities as well. For example, she often needs a lot of time to decompress, we have some things we do together but also sometimes without me. Then I make sure to keep the household running. At the same time her routines help me to keep up one too while feeling like a unit means I feel the need to talk about decisions with her which helps me keep my impulsivity under control. And I think that that is what will make it last. Hopefully a lifetime.

yes this part

Yes yes

And black women are horribly misdiagnosed and overlooked in the medical industry as well

@hyperflyer you should look up the statistics for it, and women in general (but especially black women) even something like endometriosis took a black nurse like 4 years to be diagnosed with because of the lack of research for women in general

@hyperflyer because Black women are assumed to be aggressive, defensive and angry and a threat. Black women's skin is weaponized and criminalized at a very young age. Black women are also adultified by society as children. Institutional and systemic racism profiles Black women and is the cause for these biases. It causes unfair biases and assumptions to be made about Black women.

I feel that way I was diagnosed at 30.

Absolutely iconic

You see emotion in her eyes when she says that. To connect to the subject and care about it. Is something a lot of us are missing and haven't felt since childhood. 🥺 We learn to be jaded. Please always be yourself Jasmine, you have a lot of good qualities to teach us

FR !!!

Black people need to stop 🙄

Jesus christ shut up

Absolutely 💯

Unfortunately, this is very true.

Thing is it can be dangerous, but I actually have autism and Social anxiety. I always sat alone at school lol But I always smiled 😁

They look like two normal functioning adults

@@minnathemartian5513 Same with smiling all the time. Still that way. Don't stop smiling... it's contagious! 💕

I agree 100%. I don't believe she's Autistic tho.

Same ☹ Im the same way but I feel like I'm autistic as well because I catch onto things slowly and not as quick as my peers

It is nice to find. I am lucky. (I also have Autism and my boyfriend has ADHD).

there's somebody for everybody

You will 🙂

You will! Trust that. ❤️❤️

I burst out laughing so hard at that! Especially when she said that Mark Anthony was the obvious choice! I'm also autistic and seeing that level of genuine passion for history in a context like this being represented just tickled me. I can relate a lot. Nobody wants to hear random info dumps of historical events followed by passionate hot takes on the outcomes. Thank god for podcasts and equally obsessed friends.

I never new there were so many passionate history nerds (a term I use with love, including for myself)! My son's special interests are computer programming and birds. I love talking about both with him, and would love talking history with people who are passionate about it. I'm neurotypical (I mean, whatever that really is - it's just a word that mostly means my brain is tuned for social cues and my level of energy is considered "appropriate") but love going in depth on a lot of subjects. But I'll never has as deep a knowledge of someone who is spending the kind of time Jasmine talks about every single day on it. I'd love to hear those info dumps and passionate hot takes!

@@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026 Im not autistic, I found it funny as well. She is extremely interesting, and her way of describing things is very articulate

I felt that statement. I understood why that was frustrating.

Lol SAME!!

You have to have a SUPER strong sense of humor to have your wife say Mac n cheese as the response when she is asked what’s special about your partner. Kudos to her husband…

Yeah. But on another level, it's a huge compliment. I didn't think about it at the time, but Mac n Cheese is probably one of her "routine" foods, and it's important that it be a specific way. As a neurotypical parent of an autistic child, I know that the same food can be fantastic or terrible to them even though to me they can both be great variations on the same recipe.

Lol yes

@@mahna_mahna Good points!

Sis,I agree with you, she's an amazing lady.

How do you know when you are autistic if you know that you are it’s because its high functioning… since you have that awareness

Of course she's just autistic misconception is that people with autism are delayed in someway (only a small portion of people with autism have a learning disability) or unaware of themselves. I work in healthcare I'm autistic I went to college I have a certification. I like to say autistic people are some of the best actors in the world because we work around others to live our lives on the daily.

@@DeadpanVT I Agree With You Fully But I Don’t Use The Word Autistic . Autistic Is Not Who You Are . You Just Happen To Have Autism .

@@beautifulmind1834 I just don't care much about pc usage of the word personally but that's different for everyone. I grew up before they even removed the term Asperger's syndrome from diagnosis.

I couldn't have said that any better! I feel exactly the same . I love her honesty and she just seems so interesting and fun to be around. She and her husband really seem to be a great match for each other.

Про историю лекции , так часа по два?😅

Unless you're her husband, then the "bluntness" probably gets tiresome after a while. It must get old to have your spouse publicly dumping on you all the time.

I agree. Idk how he ever tolerated it from the beginning honestly. ​@@JakeKoenig

@@JakeKoenigHe is also blunt

@@chickensalad3535 exactly, they're both neurodivergents, theyre fine lol

My sentiments exactly. I honestly just became so emotional watching this and tearing up because I realized how much of this is similar to my behavior and it just feels so comforting to know that you're not alone. 🥲

I'm dealing with all of this as a black woman. Glad to know I'm not alone

I have a autistics son and he seems a lot.

As a black woman who suspects I have autism, what you say rings so true to me. I'm also glad Jasmine shared her story.

Supporting all of you and the fight towards equal health care 💚

Yes, go away. Far away possibly.

I know... I really really liked her!!!

@@brookshw12 saaaaame. She’s a SPARK. We need more spark on this planet. ⚡️

Agreed! I really like her too 💜

Unfortunately, someone is giving people these labels just to make fame and money.

love her speaking voice.

I agree.

All autistics need to be recognised not just autistic black women all women need this

@@jcb3259 nobody said only black autistic women, they just said they wanted to see them represented more often

@@jcb3259 Of course they do. But currently autistic black women are not, so it's hard for people who are black autistic women to see someone like them as role models being uplifted by society. Wanting representation for an unrepresented group isn't the same as wanting other groups to _not_ be represented. That's isn't a pie where if I take a slice you might not get one.

@@jcb3259 29:40 for some awareness for breakfast

I completely agree with this!

Exactly. My Dr asked me why I needed an assessment for autism and how that would help me. I tried to explain the need to understand who I am and to find the right support. Dr's attitude wasn't helpful and I'm still on the waiting list 1.5 years later. I'm desperate to feel heard and seen. I'm judged on how I look instead of what I struggle with on the inside and I feel really upset going through life like this

Getting it confirmed that I’m autistic, at age 29, was genuinely such a huge positive in my life. Even before I was officially diagnosed, just connecting to the ASD community helped explain so much about my life and how I react to things and my sensory sensitivities. It was definitely a process of working thru some internalized ableism/misconceptions I’d grown up with, but working through it all to get to a place of self compassion and self acceptance, so so so worth it. Knowing why I am how I am and that it’s not just me “being broken”…I would never go back to not-knowing. 💗

Amen! My therapist said "I've never heard anyone be happy to have a mental health diagnosis." But once I learned about mood disorders and specifically borderline personality disorder- I was like "omg, I'm not crazy! And I'm not alone! In fact there's so many people out there like me that there's books! And work books! To help people like myself..." It was so relieving...

@@bean1077 It's not only doctors that are unhelpful with diagnosis, family can be problematic too. My Aunt learned my cousin *her daughter) had Asperger's when she was really young. My aunt (a highschool math dept head) decided never to tell my cousin about her diagnosis. She didn't want her to feel different. The 2 older boys didn't know either. When she hit her teen years, life was so difficult for her. She was monotone in speech, and she couldn't understand things she said were inappropriate. She also had major challenges understanding hygiene. This opened doors for being bullied. When my cousin hit adulthood, she asked a family member why she was so different. My other aunt encouraged her to speak with her doctor because my cousin exhibited depression symptoms, and started drinking. Her doctor told her, for the first time (at about 18 or 19), she had asperger's on top of other mental health issues.

they saved you from death bud, let's be honest here mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet I wish people could all realize. they can solve a lot of problems, more than mental treatments.

yes, that's right, I researched and found out that shrooms are helpful in many ways but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source I can reach out to

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure of Sporeville he's an intelligent mycologist.

they've helped me a lot as well I'm a war vet diagnosed with PTSD. A lot of issues spun out of control when I came home. This is something i looked up and tried after trying the roller coaster of antidepressants. Day and night difference

How do I reach out to him? Is he on Instagram

I’m a typical person and I deal with the same thing. I think ppl don’t like unique. I never thought of myself that way, but I’ve realized… that I do fit in and that I’m different… and it is what it is 🤗
