'Nobody triggers an autistic person as much as another autistic person.' Thank you for saying that. It's validating to me.

@JuliaW_2023 5 месяцев назад

Same. My wife often has physical stims, leg twitching. I find that motion really unsettling and makes me feel sick. But obviously it's unkind of me to ask her to stop. A whole lot of compromise and mutual respect and empathy goes on

@WoodshedTheory 5 месяцев назад

i'm glad you both agree - so much compromise and respect that has to happen

I completely agree with the statement: it is less about the quality of content, and more about how good it is delivered. Speaking from my experience, friendship is extremely tough in real life. But on RU-vid it allows a sense of friendship, so I am watching just to catch up with a friend.

I enjoy hearing other autistic points of view. I’m late self diagnosed, at 53 or so. I am lucky in that I have held employment at one place for nearly 30 years. College for me was 8 years of special interest focus. No friends, no breaks, just work.

@WoodshedTheory 5 месяцев назад

that is cool that you have been able to stay somewhere for so long - any tips?

@ginadelfina5887 5 месяцев назад

I’d never heard of Thomas Henley before, but he seems like a really calm & positive person - I will have to take a look at his channel. This was a really enjoyable conversation to listen to. I’m also really excited to hear about the upcoming one with Meg from I’m Autistic Now What.

Wow! Two of my favourite RU-vidrs in one podcast. A big thank you to both of you doing that, I could go on listening to you for hours! Megan is also one of my favourits so I'm very exited about you having her on your podcast as well. Thank you Claire for your channel and all the work you put into creating your content. I find it to be very helpful, inspiring, entertaining, funny and so many other things. ❤

I definitely can’t relate to the “being really smart” trait, I struggled in school. I appreciate people being real and showing that they struggle too. Being vulnerable is hard but helps us relate to each other.

“Work smarter not harder”- that is so perplexing to me - I just try to figure things out and watch others ….

@WoodshedTheory 5 месяцев назад

this is something i try to implement when i can - like the example in the video - taking cuts from longer videos in order to make shorts instead of making brand new videos saves times because i already did the work

@JuliaW_2023 5 месяцев назад

Thank-you Thomas, I'm going to check out your content. I appreciate slower-paced speakers. I find that shorts are often fast-speaking and noisy and a real chaotic assult on my senses lol. I like calmer, slower communicators. Having said that I also love Meg "I'm Autistic so now what" who can be a bit hyper sometimes. So excited you're having her on in the future Claire

@stephenie44 5 месяцев назад

It’s been really annoying trying to find a therapist as an autistic person with a special interest in trauma and dissociation. I may not have their degree, I may not know what to do with my emotions, but I know the theory of their therapeutic techniques more than they do, and I know if they break protocol and it’s really distracting from actually focusing on my emotions in therapy, because I just wanna discuss theory.

@WoodshedTheory 5 месяцев назад

That is interesting stephanie, i hope you figure out a solution

Really glad you mentioned having OCD while being autistic, it really is hard to see whats happening while youre going through it. I am a little bit allergic to having any kind of heavy routine because i know how i can spiral if im not well. Its difficult as well having such strong emptions as well as having intrusive thoughts. It often plays off of my shame related to my autism.

@madberry Месяц назад

I noticed it’s kind of harder for me to do leather work and really follow the video. But my brain has decided I will listen to podcasts as I do leather work so….. Overthinking is a real problem for me. Starting a RU-vid channel I’m overthinking everything. From I’m not interesting enough to why would someone want to watch me. And that’s despite the fact that I am well aware, by doing videos with others, that people do like to listen to me. I’m overthinking the editing process if I’m going to make leaders or not what the lower thirds will look like what the channel banner…… etcetera etcetera. I’m working on going back to the K.I.S.S principle(Keep It Simple Stupid for those that don’t know). I’m working on some video ideas and I’ve slowed the whole process down compartmentalization might be key here. We’ll see if it works. Lol

I have saved this until i can sit down and really enjoy it and it was definitely worth the wait. I notice that quite a few other commenters mention that Claire and Thomas are their favourite RU-vidrs. I have to agree. Such a great conversation and really enjoyable to listen to. Thank you to both of you. I look forward to more of these in the future Claire.

@hoflandmm 5 месяцев назад

I found this really interesting as I am interested in pivoting to self employment! I'm an autistic nurse, with a degree in psych so my brain is designed to observe, adapt but I live with a very "spiky profile" and struggle get my ideas off the ground

@WoodshedTheory 5 месяцев назад

I also have a spikey profile - I started my LLC a around three years ago now - I would say right now I make a part time income but i feel good that i am growing something

Relate to lots of this! So good. I ran in a panic from the concept of college, regrettably, but striving to support my spectrum kiddos better in these pursuits, so tucking away these perspectives for future reference. And as to the OCD, get that, too. I would feel sooo guilty, berate myself, and have such intrusive thoughts if any single part of my daily plan was missed for so long. I know a large piece is childhood trauma and, as I extend more self-grace, the less I am hearing the old tapes in my head. Or, at least, shutting them off sooner. Thanks for this. An excellent help! ❤

@ashleyien1222 5 месяцев назад

Interesting chat. 😅 I'm not a fan of short form content... it seems to be what all platforms are going to. I prefer videos that are like 30 minutes long. (but I'm old..) I'm kind of annoyed that Instagram, RU-vid, Facebook, etc all want to be tiktok... I don't even have a tiktok account and have no interest in getting one. I think I've seen Thomas before on my youtube recommendations but I've not followed. I shall follow. I do follow Meg. I relate a lot to her. A lot of what she says I'm like "me too! I do that!" (or did that)... 😅 Taylor's was the first channel I found where I was like "I think I might be autistic", but I didn't relate to everything she said which left a lot of "maybe I'm not"... but I relate a lot to Meg's experiences so that kind of gave me a little more... I don't know... maybe helped with imposture syndrome a little.

Hey Claire! What else do you crochet or knit? Actually first question, do you crochet or knit? Or do you just use the machine? Because I noticed on your Etsy, you only had that one blanket and your hats are usually really nice fibers, so what do you use the mandalas for?

@WoodshedTheory 5 месяцев назад

I crochet and use a knitting machine. I have knit but it hurts my hands and is really slow for me. I'm not sure what the mandalas will be yet! I let inspiration strike me!

@stephaniesummerhill8918 5 месяцев назад

@@WoodshedTheory awesome! I crochet too…that and yarn are definitely my special interest!!! I can’t knit yet but maybe one day. I have a whole tub of nova and a whole tub of gnome waiting for inspiration 😆 I wish I could share pics here….My crochet album is public on my Facebook….i LOVE your hats!

It is really weird to hear you speaking about attending Cambridge University. In my mind Cambridge University or the University of Cambridge is the university close to where I live her in the UK. I'm sure you have heard of it as one of the top Universities here in the UK. When you mention it all I can imagine is you attending university at Cambridge UK.😂😂. It's a bit like going to Hogwarts 😂😂Don't get me wrong I am sure that you are more then capable of getting a place at Cambridge. 😅
