6:41 Tip 3 Use Images
8:42 Tip 4 Ask For Feedback
9:44 Tip 5 Explain The Detail
Communication with an autistic person can be difficult Especially if the person is neuro typical trying to talk to an autistic person.
Autism at its core is a communicative issue that impacts the brain and the ability to understand communication signals and imports from external stimuli into the brain and neurologically understanding that information and data.
It is often that employers, new friends or even potential partners have issues relating to and communicating with people on the autism spectrum.
I have outlined here five strategies that will best accommodate autism communication skills for someone who is autistic and trying to communicate and who is trying to communicate with an autistic.
1. Be Patient: taking time and being patient with an autistic person is going to be the best in return for understanding their communication needs. Just take some time and try to understand what they need to help communicate.
2. Repeat When Needed: sometimes people with autism need sentences or speeches repeated several times before we are able to understand what it is one is trying to tell or communicate to us. Don’t be alarmed if you’re asked to repeat the sentence.
3. Use Images: A fantastic way to help communication in areas where there may be some difficulty is use images, using emojis is the new way of using drawing images that we would’ve done back before emojis was a universal language of images. Images are excellent for showing an autistic person a visual representation of the flow of communication because what is the people are visual thinkers.
4. Ask For Feedback: A good way to understand communication barriers and move forward with strategies is to ask for feedback from the person who is on the spectrum so they can tell you where you are doing things right and why are you doing things wrong this can help greatly improve your communication skills with an autistic person.
5. Explain The Detail: The proof is in the detail, what is that people love the fine detail in something because it paints the full picture with no ambiguity. What is that people cannot read between the lines and so having more detail in your explanation when you are communicating with an autistic person will do a lot of good.

@amattes1960 3 года назад

I think you'd find that most people, ASD or not, prefer to not deal with angry people. Depending on the level of anger we all feel threatened by angry people because that is what anger is communicating: a threat. I understand that you mean you are even more sensitive to that, but my point is that ASD people are not alone in feeling that way. You will find allies among neurotypical people on this subject. My ex-husband knew perfectly well that his shouting at me made me feel like the world was crashing down on me, but it never seemed to stop him from doing it. There are a lot of people who are often angry and feel entitled to express that anger any time they feel it. They may also feel like anyone who protests their anger is trying to control them and then frustration is added to the anger. You are within your rights to avoid them, no matter what they say about it, or what their relationship is to you. It is not a failing on your part. It is simply how you are and it's incompatible with people who habitually communicate with aggression.

@riannamajzoub5241 3 года назад

It's not just anger for me(or for anyone else who's curious about this phenomenon), its based from straight up fear in situations when someone is not just angry but your afraid for your own saftey or that of your family or friends. That's why I always consider my options in situations like this(leave the situation if you can if you can't don't be afraid to defend yourself, your pack and your property. I live in the United States where there are some parts of the country you can claim "self defense" and others that are NOT COVERED so you have to know your rights based on where you live.) I had a family memeber who by cultural background would get up in my face when angry so I know all too well.

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. My mom is horrible about this, she's always hinting, implying, and making passive aggressive comments. These types of things confuse me, frustrate me, and overall stress me out often to the point of melting down. She'll say something is fine but her voice says otherwise and if I try to ask her what she really means she gets angry. Or I'll say something and she'll assume that I'm implying something when I really just meant exactly what I said. It causes so many fights.

As a wife of one aspie & mother to another, my best advice for communicating is, if possible, to wait until the aspie has time to listen. Often when my son or my hubby is totally absorbed with something, and then it's better to wait until they are done. Before I realized this I could get so frustrated cuz hubby had said yes to something, and then didn't even remember he'd heard it at all.

@connor863 3 года назад

A good rule of thumb is to email or text instead of calling. Phone calls are often intrusive and timed inconveniently, prone to static (at least in my experience) and disruptions from background noise, and you can always reread a text or email but you can't for a phone call. Being specific is also very helpful!

Our face-to-face conversations end in frustrated fizzles……. if they even get off the ground at all. I don’t know how we’re going to work past relying on text to get our points across, but for now, at least we’ve opened back up to eachother. ✊🥺

Ever since I know I'm autistic, every time someone asks me if I'm a quick learner or wants to teach me something I tell them "Yeah, but you have to SHOW it to me". When they ask why, I explain that's the way I learn things the fastest and it will spare us both time and energy because the chances I'll have to bother you with questions afterwards will be a lot smaller.

Dan, you definitely helped with this video. I have a nurse that sees me once a week. She’s a new nurse and runs around very quickly and talks to me very quickly. I’m deaf so I have to read her lips which I hate but I can’t get her to slow down so that I can picture what she’s talking about and I end up frustrating her and she just leaves. I also have the same problem with my psychotherapist who is supposed to be helping me with my autism but she’s never dealt with an autistic person before. So she keeps asking me to imagine myself in places where I’ve never been and then explain to her how it makes me feel and I have to keep saying that I don’t know because I’ve never been in that situation. I’m going to send this video to both my nurse and psychotherapist and hope that they’ll watch it in order to understand how to deal with me instead of getting frustrated with me. The nurse I had before this new one was perfect. She totally understood me and took her time with me. Wish I could have her back but she works in a different area now. So, I’m trying to teach the new people how to communicate with me. Thanks for making this video. You’re awesome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I do agree with you with most of what you said, especially with having patience with the question asking and the need to add more details right from the beginning. I used to drive my supervisors at work crazy with repetitive questions, and was told once that if I asked another question I would be fired. I just wanted to do a good job, and not get in trouble for misunderstanding what I was supposed to do. At my old job the rules changed often and you did not know you broke a rule until afterwards. Now I know that I have another reason for my constant questions.

I have an aspie that came into my life about a year and a half ago. I love him dearly. Some people treat him badly because they think he's strange, but some of things that he does that others view as strange, I love about him. He tells me he cares about me and misses me when we don't see each other for awhile, but sometimes he just goes silent and it used to hurt, but I'm starting to understand more now. In the past, when I'd be upset and text him that maybe we should part ways, he wouldn't respond with words, but would send photos of us together or photos of his special interest. He moved away, and when he told me he was leaving, he gave me his special necklace he always wore. He doesn't say it much, but I think he really does care. As frustrating as it is at times, I'm learning to be more patient. He sometimes would grab my hand and just caress it, not saying a word. If someone could weigh in on what I just described, I'd appreciate it. Sometimes his actions confuse me and I want to understand.

@summcunt5421 7 месяцев назад

I have autism and ADHD and so does my wife. I really struggle to communicate with her. Interestingly, I figured it out just before I watched this that her lack of volunteering any details is a large part of the issue. Like today, I was ironing and I wanted to play some music that I like. I saw her get changed and I asked her if she is going outside. She said yes. I replied that that was good because I could play my music that she hates. Then she proceeded to lay down until after I was finished ironing. It was only when I said something about her not going out that I found out what she was thinking. She was planning to go outside later tonight. And she was wondering why I wasn't playing my music that she hates. I honestly thought she was about to go outside immediately or in the near future. Apparently I needed to ask her when she would be going outside. She explained that she answered exactly what I asked. I expected that she would have understood that I meant now when I asked, but apparently not. This is just one example of many. I'm sure there are other parts of conversation that we need to work on too. Most of the time, it's like we are having 2 totally different conversations because we both think the other means something else. Perhaps the issue is that I've spent a lot more time with neurotypical people than she has and so our speech patterns are different. I assume it would be difficult for neurotypical people speaking with me sometimes, but it's also difficult for me to speak with my wife. It's so frustrating. I really hope I don't make other people feel the way I feel when I speak with my wife. I know my ADHD definitely causes problems, but I think I figured out something I was doing wrong all my life because of that. My last few conversations have gone so much better than usual simply because I didn't say every thought that was triggered in my head by what they said. I've realised that most people don't want to know, especially if it means that they can't finish saying what they were trying to say. I only figured it out the other day after my wife had been doing it to me and I realised how it made me feel. Then I recognised that it was something I do all the time. No wonder most people avoid talking to me. So I'm really thankful to have learnt that lesson. It would have been good if someone had taught me these simple conversation skills when I was a kid. Well I guess it's better late than never to figure it out. I wonder what else I'm getting wrong with conversation. I've already had it brought to my attention that often other people don't want to know everything about my special interests. But it sure is nice when they do. Anyhow, we're making improvement with communication, but we're not quite there yet.

I just recently started following your channel, like a week ago or something like that. Probably more like a few days ago. I’ve got an appointment scheduled with my doctor on Wednesday to talk with him and see if maybe he can at least point me in the right direction to be clinically diagnosed with Asperger’s. My girlfriend had mentioned something along the lines of “what if you have Asperger’s?”, and it hit me pretty hard to see she’d even noticed something like that about me because for one, I always knew I was a little bit different, which everyone is different, but the way i was disciplined growing up with adhd (which I hadn’t even discovered until I was around 16-17) - I was essentially disciplined to suppress certain ticks and behaviors that I had as a kid, and I hadn’t even realized that til I sat down and started watching your videos. I’m 99% sure I have Asperger’s, but finding out at 28 years old definitely left me feeling a type of way. i literally balled my eyes out after watching only like two of your videos. I used to wonder all the time, “what if I have some form of autism”, and i hadn’t really put much thought into it at all until after I totaled my car in January of 2018 and left the hospital with a concussion that was so under diagnosed that my family wouldn’t believe me when I told them I died in that car accident and was left looking at myself with the choice “should I stay or should I go”. That experience changed my life forever, but for the better, of course. Anyways, after that wreck, the recovery process from the brain trauma took me for a spin, and immediately after leaving the hospital I felt like i was seeing myself for the first time, thoughts and all. Then all this stuff started to sink into perspective and I wondered if maybe I was this way because of the car accident, but when I brought it up to my mom about it she brushed it off as if it were too late to even consider, and considering my little brother has adhd along with high functioning autism, I just suppressed the idea thinking I was just crazy. I have adhd, ocd, dyslexia, ptsd and was diagnosed with bipolar (which I personally don’t believe that’s even something that should be treated with medicine, especially after my experiences with the meds I was prescribed to for it). My point is, I’m SURE that I have Asperger’s, I just need that confirmation to know how to go about taking care of myself, my mental health and for the clarity of how to go about my every day life. sorry this is such a long comment lol. It feels good to be able to let all this out. Thank you for your videos and all the time and effort and energy you put into your channel. I truly believe you’re making a difference in so many lives and the authenticity of your overall channel is incredible to see. #SoGrateful

I personally find asking for feedback from my work colleagues daunting. I have self confidence issues and I have found its easier to just ask "can you tell me if I have done something wrong ?" or "what have I done wrong for your reaction ?" I do however also find they talk to me in a child like way and a smile as if they are joking with me. I cannot read the situation with weird facial expressions which make no sense to the things they say and I find it confusing as it then does make me want to react in a tantrum and storm off as it just simply does not make sense. So I end up viewing situations as always my fault, as clearly would not happened if I was not working there.

This is spot on! My adult son and I both benefit from these tips, especially patience, visuals and lots of details! I’m a late self-diagnosed autistic and these videos and other related content have been invaluable in helping me and my husband help our son and helped me discover my own neurodivergence. Thank you! 😃

I'm a teacher on the Autistic Spectrum, and will try to communicate some of these strategies to my co-workers, as I'm currently working to create a give and take situation, versus the present where it is often me being told, "You communicate in a way that makes people uncomfortable, you need to change that." The teachers at my school tend to be good with ASD students, but somehow the same with colleagues is harder.

I was a classroom teacher but needed a break so am subbing. I found long term assignment and took it needing the money. I was never told I'd be put into a self contained mod severe. Not as an Aide, as the teacher. With 6 non verbal children. There is one Aide and there used to be another, but 3 of the kids are supposed to be 1:1, so I guess they were never meeting ratio at this school. The only plans left were minimal, vague and the "emergency sub plans" were not pointed out or labeled in a visible way. There was a step file folder holder with the tabs labeled Monday, Tuesday, etc. in pencil. Inside was just worksheets. No explanations of how to get that material comprehended for the kids. Aide says it's too high-level. Teacher left no guide for how elicit communication from them. There were no procedures for when they get overestimated and such. I am on high alert that somebody is going to get smacked (I've already seen a girl get hit by our hitting boy) let alone having to take the blame. When I have NO training. They don't even require you to have teaching experience in order to be a substitute. It's lucky that I do. Staff act like I'm supposed to just be patient and flexible as a solution, like those two qualities will make everything okay. People have made comments suggesting it should just come naturally. I feel this whole situation is inappropriate and unsafe and unfair! Can you please advise?!

@@jupiterg9813 I would suggest writing out what it is that you want, and what you need to effectively execute your job as concise, concrete, and true as possible. Then sit down with your employer and discuss it. If they are not willing to aid you in executing your job as well as you could, and no changes are made or compromises are found within a reasonable time frame you might want consider leaving.

What always happens is he'll ask me to take care of something (and it's not just him of course) and I misunderstand, f it up, and then I feel bad bc I misunderstood and I get defensive. So thank you! I learned what I need about communication and my hubby did too!

@Headsign 3 года назад

Does anybody share my experience? I'm autistic and my brother isn't. Now, my brother is just the worst person I know at communicating with an autistic person. He will blur any information. I have to ask him for every single detail, like: what day does the train leave. What hour, what minute, what station and platform, etc. It's just terrible and it feels as if he almost taught himself how to confuse me as much as possible.

@SuperGingernutz 3 года назад

I empathise with your experience, big league! I have an older sibling who told me the other night that she hasn't got the patience to regularly remind herself (whenever I have problems with getting my point across) that I am autistic and to have some respect for me and thus wind her neck in. In other words, she finds it easier to snap and shout at me, cutting through my side of the conversation or she talks to me like an automaton (or Basil Fawlty talking to Manuel in Fawlty Towers). It was chilling.

So right! Before I realised my son is asperger, I was talking to him same way as with my older daughter, assuming he should understand simple tasks. And it was kind of frustrating whe he still didn't do the task and with luck of my patient we had some rough times. Then I realised, he needs fine details to be explain, all reasons why task should be done, listen carefully for all he has to say, and I finally got the pattern how to communicate with my son 😄 then some teachers and his dentist gave me a tip that he might be on spectrum, I started to learn about it and boom, suddenly I got ALL the patient I need 😄 it's like magic, when you realise that person is on spectrum and you learn to adjust to their personality, it is so much easier to be calm and patient. Plenty to learn for me yet, but I can see how my son appreciate what I do, and our relationship got much better, because I try to make his world a bit more clear for him, at least at home, I hope 🥰 thank you for all information you share with us ♡

I have auditory processing issues- someone speaking to me can (usually) sound like they’re speaking a foreign language even if they’re right in front of me. Because everyone is wearing a mask, it makes lip reading impossible- which I do even though I’m not hearing impaired so I end up having to ask “what?” OFTEN

@DylanB89 3 года назад

For context's sake, I'm an adult male currently undergoing assessment for ASD. While all signs seem to point towards a positive diagnosis at this point, I still don't want to present my comment as if I'm someone with a confirmed diagnosis of ASD. I've found that detail is super important when people ask me questions. People have told me for a long time that I don't respond very well or contribute much when others ask me questions. It's true that I often don't have much to say (and that I often don't know what to say) when people ask questions, but I think a major reason why this happens is because the questions themselves aren't very detailed. If my boss talks to me for half an hour straight and presents all sorts of ideas and plans, but then follows it all up with, "What do you think?", then all I can really think to say in the moment is "it's fine". But if she runs through things and then asks a specific question like "can you think of any risks that would come with option #3?", then I have something to focus on and suddenly I have things to say. The same thing happens when I come home and my wife asks, "how was your day?". It's exhausting to even imagine actually thinking through everything that happened in order to deliver an accurate answer, and so the quickest way for me to get past it is to just go, "it was fine". But if she says something like "I know you were working on X the last few days. What kind of things did you come across going through that today?", then I not only have a much easier time knowing what to talk about, but I'm also usually more interested in talking about it as well.

Thanks for sharing. My friend and I had a communication problem a while back and it was because I had wrongly believed that they grasped something I had explained to them months prior. I got wrapped up in thinking that they hadn't been listening to me at all during the entire span of the months I tried to help them learn something when that wasn't the case. Ultimately we found out that partial colorblindness was another challenge that was blocking our entire progress...but, we surely would have figured that out faster if we had exchanged more images of what we were perceiving. We send images to each other online all the time, but I never thought to explain processes with images one step at a time until recently. A part of me was worried she'd think I was treating her like a child breaking things down to that level, but all she said was that she was going to try it out.

Thankfully my sons are supportive and accompany me on trips but it's frustrating trying to educate neurotypicals who don't seem to have any interest in learning. I'm a a retired medical professional and understand that the tightrope is thin. My sons are my heroes and far surpass any neurotypicals I know.
