the story of those girls throwing out the necklaces was so awful to hear. what makes me so mad about it is chances are in many people's eyes they are considered "nice girls" because they are generally nice to NTs (i can't confirm them specifically but i've seen this happen a lot). for this reason i always judge people's kindness not based on how they are to most people but to the "weird" kids. i remember having a group where most of us were ND and one time my whole english class was having a conversation about one of my friends and i was starting to show subtle anger and my friend next to me genuinely could not figure why (nvm that firstly she's my friend, and secondly this clearly shows everyone's hatred against autistics)
You are positive person. Even talking about mental health your sound more positive than me. I started saying recently. "The fear of nothing keeps me alive, but the though of ageing makes me think of nothing".
I doubt you'll see this, I've been binge watching you since last night, you popped up in my recommended videos and I couldn't be more grateful. I've been diagnosed with quite a few disorders as a teen who was in foster care and after watching your videos, this morning I made an appointment to get reevaluated now that I'm an adult. My brother is autistic and I never thought Its possible I could be.. until I saw your videos and did hours and hours of research on autism in women and realized I can relate SO MUCH to the traits. I know that a lot of my original diagnoses can have the same traits, but you inspired me to find some answers. I have been delaying mental health care for so long.. and I have 2 kids and pregnant with #3 and for the last year being stuck in the house because of covid, I've been STRUGGLING so so much, so I just want to thank you for being such an inspiration for me. I'm crying as I'm typing this. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Girl that was so brave.. and even when you dont feel it ....you make this world a better place...... i I'm 49 years old and I have never understood my place in this world so being diagnosed with ADHD and ASD tried to find someone else who experienced those things and I couldn't find it and I found you I connect to you are on a spiritual level girl and I just want you to know you are changing lives
I got Diagnosed with Autism last week. I got Diagnosed with Anxiety disorders and Depression for years. I can understand your story about your heart. I’m so scared my heart is flying out of my body. Sometimes my heartrate is so high, i get to scared to even get out of my bed. I hope that will get better once i get the right help.
Chloe, God Bless you for all the love and help you encourage:). However, being that I am also someone who was "beaten up" in public school, I felt very angry when those nasty girls ( age 10) who your Parents so kindly gave them "Build-A-Bears" and even gave them a" beautiful friendship necklaces" only for these nasty girls just rip them off and say that they would "never be friends with you" deserve to punished for their cruelty as much as lack of respect towards You and Your Parents!!!! When I was a little girl, I would have LOVED to have been your Friend because I like YOU, whether I got gifts or not because my parents raised me to be a person and value other people!! I would have been very grateful to your Parents if they had given me something nice and my Parents would have given your Parents a Thank You card for their gifts!! In fact, Although my Parents most likely did not have as much money as your Parents, my Parents would have given your Mom and Dad a gift!!! My Parents and Late Grandparents taught my Brother and I through example that you should treat others with respect!! Although I do agree with you that we should look at our Mental Health, I wonder about the Mental Health of those nasty girl's ( age 10) parents that raised them not to treat others with respect!! I think those nasty girls were not raised to be human beings and that is because of the sins of their own Parents lacking in love!!!! Chloe, Thank you for being YOU:)!! You are a beautiful person that I am privileged to watch on You Tube as much as follow on Instagram:)!!
I am autistic and one thing I will say is, conventional mental health support for an autistic person is like putting petrol into a diesel engine and wondering why it won't start. Mental health treatment needs to be modified to suit autistic people. Much of what you said about primary school friendships strikes a chord with me. I made friends with a guy who led me into wrong ways, for no other reason, than he was a consistent from pre-school (this was in 1980 and in Queensland, pre-school precedes school (replaced by prep, in 2010)) with others going to other schools or being put in other classes. I didn't have any real friends even in pre-school. I didn't have friends at my second primary school or in high school. I remember my colleagues wanted me to go to the school formal, but I declined, as I couldn't see the point and I figured they just wanted to laugh at me, anyway.
My heart breaks for you. I understand because I was bullied at school too. I wasn’t diagnosed as autistic until 37yrs. I have struggled with my mental health most of my life too.
I feel so alike you. Bullying at school, ED, anxiety and panic attacks disorder, also going to ER cuz I thought I have heart attack. Have also OCD and Social phobia. I hear you Aspien ❤
I truly believe your videos are helping many people! I wish I got to watch videos like these growing up. I'm almost 26 and don't know who I even am. Your videos have been so helpful even just getting through daily tasks. It's like hey this lady gets me. I've never really got to say that. I feel you deserve to know your videos are absolutely great! Your videos are so helpful to many people and that's beautiful!!😊
You are so amazing and your not worthless you have helped me so much especially in being myself my true autistic adhd self. I love watching your videos so much 😭 you make me feel feelings I can't describe I used to getting bullied at my primary school and secondary school is so overwhelming but you have and are still helping me get through it to be myself to know and speak when somethings wrong I feel I have grown much as a person and I know that there are struggles ahead I am definitely not prepared for but I want to keep going 💖 And I don't want to give up. You are amazing Chloe seriously and I don't know why people wouldn't want to be friends with you I know I defiantly would and If I got the chance I would probably be so happy I would cry ❤
Wait those little girls got bears and bracelets with you just to throw them away in front of you???? So they were pretending.....what the heck kids can be terrible when they bandwagon
omg your story hits home for me 💕thank you so much for sharing your story! I have Aspergers syndrome as well, and extreme anxiety. This pandemic has let me slow down, get rid of toxic people.. able to regroup and work on some goals/personal growth journey. you're amazing! so hard to share our stories but once you do its amazing.
I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THIS. THANK UOU I have not been diagnosed as autistic but I’m almost positive that I am. I’ve known for SOOOOOO long that I’m different and that my brain is different and I’ve always felt like I don’t fit anywhere. I’ve always known that I had to work so much harder than everyone else to get through the same things. I’m having a good day today and I just have to KEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT EVERYDAY IS ANOTHER STEP. One day at a time. Thank you so so so so so fuckig much for this video.
Oh btw, godda make sure I mention the fact that I FREAKING LOVE YOU!! I love you for what your doing here. You did this in ways better by far than what I could have done. Hell if it were me doing what your doing, people would probably end up being scared of autism.
Your always beautiful Chloe this is a very beautiful and important you are such a strong intelligent person I went through a major mental illness I have only been diagnosed with autisim a few years ago so sorry you had those awful experiences love you Chloe I would love to be friends with you your an awesome beautiful person
Glad you're here still fighting the good fight dude. I hope it gives you a bit more strength to keep going, to know that your videos help people feel a bit less alienated in the world (that's what helps me, but I'm sure most others too!). Thanks, and take care x
Laughing to deal with tradegy is one of the best things anyone can do. Never stop laughing Chloe, for years I've masked my laughing because I've been made fun of because of it. Unmasking that part of myself today, Thank you chloe for being yourself
W0W, unmasked, your words are so powerful when you're not masking your words are so beautiful, It's nice to see the future you, so grown-up you're so Nuro Atypically wonderful, Just Being you....
Good mental health is so important. Mine is not good. and hasn't been for several years, due to long term unemployment and a chronic pain issue. I want to be back where I was when I was working, not worrying about money, or having a job, or my health, or my parents approval. It's a hot mess all right, but the wheel of Karma turns, and eventually things will improve.
Oh Chloe.... I know you wouldn't want it but I just want to wrap you up in a massive cuddle, at the same time that I want to go and teach those kids a lesson!!! Thank you so much for sharing this, for being such an amazing person and for reaching out to so many with your experiences!! You are incredible, fantastic and inspiring!!!
Almost didnt wanna hit like cuz you were at 333 likes. I definitely have a thing for multiples of three and multiples of ten (metric system). Actually pretty sure that's why/how I passed physics with flying colors while simultaneously bombing algebra.
Everybody deserves help, except me 7:11 “I deal with my trauma through laughing” I deal with mine by beating myself up, physically and mentally... I’m sorry I’ll go...
I've watched at least half your vids by now, or at least I think I have. I may not know your exact struggles, but I have undergone struggle through my entire life. I watched adults faulter before me, and I was shot at multiple times as a child. I definitely know the similarities between children and adult, but when it comes to being autistic I cant identify with any adults I know
Ugh, I live in the US, I hate being in 8th grade, I hate living in a time where there are people who are weirdly talking slang, like the boys talk slang and sports, wear baseball caps, girls dress up and put on makeup, I find 8th grade annoying, I like being an outcast, I’m proud of my autism, proud of wearing fedora’s, everything else, being calmer too then those other kids
It must be so incredibly difficult growing up with an Australian accent... When did you find out you were Australian? Have you tried -... Ah crap. I was typing this to be funny but I got to the part of the video where those girls tossed away your friendship necklaces and now I am feeling sad. I am sorry you went through that... 😔
This is super important for you to see, so hopefully you can find this and this gets to you. But I know you have autism, ADHD, anxiety, and had an eating disorder. I think you may have soemthing called PANDAS (pediatric acute neurophysciatric disorder associated with streptococal infection. you could also have PANS. PANS is basically the same thing, but its caused by anything that effects your immune system and not just strep. symptom,s can commonly misdiagnosed as autism, ADHD, eating disorder, stress, anxiety, bipolar, etc. im not trying to be rude or anything but this can be dangerous if you dont treat it. i dont think your "autism" needs to be get rid of, but it can be dangerous if you dont treat it. a lot of the time people can get it when they are a baby and so they are misdiagnosed as having autism because its been like this their whole life, and i can speak from experience. it would mean a lot if you just look into it. it can also cause seizures and sensory issues and tics sometime(you dont have to have tics or seizures or all the symptoms though) i just think you should know about this so you can possibly look into it.
