I wish I could go back in time and use this on the many occasions I was accused of not having autism. While working for a disability service. By managers.
I know how you feel, I've got 2 autistic friends, one of them has photographic memory and the other is a piano prodigy who is next level amazing at math. I just got the kind of autism that makes me really good at remembering who is and isn't jewish….
So moral of this story: parents - pay very close attention to your child's vaccine schedule, it determines what type x-man they become (Charles Xavier doesn't want me in his school (probably because he's (you-know-whoish)))
This is hilarious. when people say to me you don't look autistic or disabled, I didn't realize being autistic or disabled had a look, when disabled i respond am I suppose to walk around with my arm looking all messed up.
I've gotten to the point where my go-to response is, 'And you don't look like an asshole; looks can be deceiving :)' Does it endear me to that person? No. Do I give a damn? Hell no. The type of people who say this shit tends to be a very specific type, one that I don't want anything to do with, so good riddance.
@@mygoldenwitch Well thanks for making people think all autists are spineless pansies. I get that it is tiresome to have to deal with such idiotic answers but reducing a person immediately to asshole status for not reacting perfectly when put on the spot in an unfamiliar situation doesn't exactly endear you to me either. Isn't that what we struggle with, socially? Having a hard time reacting properly when being put under the spotlight with no preparation? And there YOU go give other people a hard time as if not being autistic made everyone else king in that skill.
I have asbergers and ADHD and add and anxiety from the abuse of just having it and people always say that you don't look like I have asbergers and I responded with no I got it on sale at Walmart clearance section
I am autistic and love legos. I don't build with them. I sort them into 67 plastic bins. I separate them by color. Neutrals in one bin (white, gray, black, brown, tans). Colors in another bin. I have a huge bucket that holds everything in old light and dark gray. I'd break it down further for clarity, but I don't want to be verbose. Please see the following comment below for what "verbose" means.
i started the video and just said out loud; "yeah this guy's got autism." and then I heard you voice and that just cemented it in for me. (sorry if this sounds offensive i didn't mean it that way)
About a year ago I was talking to my doc about how I might go about figuring out officially if I'm on the spectrum, and he also assured me that I don't look autistic. I, too, didn't know how to respond to that, so I just did the thing where I sat there pretending this whole interaction hadn't been super unhelpful and disheartening and never followed it up in any way ever again 👍
I had to pause after a min. I’ve been stuck in the system longer than half my life and you are so spot on. Like “oh really I don’t have a complex understanding of this topic….” Topic is like something you should be going through after high school yet I’m 13 LOL 😅 bless you dude
Person picturing their awkward 12 year old nephew: "you don't look Autistic!" Mam that's not the autism you're seeing, that's being 12 years old, I haven't made that mistake in decades.
I think us autistic people are better at communication, we will not bother having conversations we don't want to have 😊 so at least you know we are not pretending to want to talk to you. Also while I didn't memorize the phone book I did memorize the entire collection of encyclopedias at the library. All it did was make my teachers mad when I thought I was helping by explaining why she was wrong, honestly it may have not been so bad but when I was a kid most kids that were autistic were sent away to homes and it was thought to mainly be a dude only issue because of the lack of understanding anything about it. I was not diagnosed until I was in my late 20s same for my ADHD. Instead I was labeled a moody problem child.
I disagree. We are better and factual conversation. Which is usually pretty useless unless you're among autists or scientists. Actual communication among humans consists of non-factual components that are not irrelevant. They aren't filler. So we suck at communication. The males that is. The women are quite a bit more complex, it seems... unlike in every other regard, where women are simplistic and straight forward to comprehend :D.
Ever since I figured out that I'm likely autistic, I've been wondering if I also look that way. After watching this, the answer seems to be a resounding "maybe?". Like, I might, but it probably doesn't correlate with me actually being autistic.
My autistic boyfriend is incredibly intelligent and great with computers. I'm just awkward lol, I totally relate. I love the comedy and am looking to watching this with him :)
When people say "You don't look autistic", they most likely think of Down Syndrome, because that condition, as far as I remember does have certain facial structure linked to it. Don't remember the studies or the actual name, but that's from what I know. But COME ON. What do you EXPECT me to look like? A chubby teenager with a half-grown mustache in an undersized shirt and glasses so thick, his eyes look like they've melted? Should I also be wearing a child-size bike helmet?
I think your cadence could use a bit more work and I don't know if the audio equipment was bad but I have a hard time understanding you. That being said (because it HAD to absolutely be said... you know how it goes), I'm not sure jokes about autism can ever go beyond cliches and tropes because it seems to me people still have a very hard time grasp the breadth of the spectrum. Personally, I hate that they want to get rid of the term "asperger's" for that very reason. That told people something. If I talk about autism today, all I get is "Well, you are a bit peculiar but aren't we all?" And I go "Well, yes and no. That peculiarity is what remains after I've put on a whole theater spectacle for you to think I'm 'just a bit peculiar' instead of pretty darn weird and 'what the hell is this guy's problem??' and now do excuse me because I have to go home and crash for three days due to exhaustion"
Well it is a four year old video so my cadence and stage presence has changed a lot (you want to look at more recent videos I have) and I wasn’t recording with anything very professional haha.
@@jamesstanleycomedy Ah yes, sorry, I completely forgot to check the date. RU-vid rabbit hole and all that. In that case, I formally put the criticism on hold... still had to spew it forth :D.
i guess one day people will understand how our brain works ;) . Then again we dont even know how our own brain works most of the times ....... LOL One Love
Other neurodivergent get me. I gave up on neurotypicals. I’ll never understand why they make up arbitrary rules and only apply them to certain people so they can feel superior. It’s so dumb. But they actually bond by bullying/gossiping and exclusion. That explains a lot. We bond by hobbies and interests 😊
