@@charleslowe522 if you look at an autistic advocacy organization's website (or other such information source) and it speaks of applied behavioral analysis as anything other than a horrifying practice that needs to be stopped immediately, it's a bad organization. if it doesn't speak of ABA at all, it might be okay but it might not be. If you are looking for a good organization, they are out there, but absolutely do not use autism speaks or anything that is supported or funded by them. They are a hate group masquerading as a support organization. I wish I had a better answer for a good organization, especially as a person with autism myself, but I do not.

What is creepy is when you explained what ABA was, it was very similar to how I was raised as a child. I do not have a diagnosis of autism, but I’m in the process of Chyna figuring some stuff out about myself and it’s pretty clear. I’ve always been a little different. The issue is is I’ve always been OK with being myself but everybody around me constantly tries to change me. that’s exactly how my parents were with me growing up. They still are like this with me. Everything I do is wrong. The only difference now is I don’t care about pleasing them anymore.
@stuffz4040
@stuffz4040 Год назад
Oh the joys of traditionalism and it’s consequences. While I did get diagnosed when I was young, it was a different parent who didn’t believe in mental health who put me and my sister (who did not have any diagnoses) through something that best aligns with ABA. It’s people who were raised under spare the rod, spoil the child. For the longest time, whether it be through the products of religion, dictatorships, or just people needing to distract themselves from yearly famines - no one had any freedom. It’s only a recent development that things like personal autonomy, self love, and living for yourself have really gotten support. I may have been told everything about me was wrong sometimes because of autistic traits, but in children-dont-speak-unless-spoken-to culture, there’s really nothing right a child can do as all they are viewed as is a less capable adult.

@@magster3997 Because the would is sexist and the autism criteria is made in a way that almost only get males diagnosed. So many girls get misdiagnosed or not diagnosed for their whole life. Just because a person never was diagnosed it doesn’t mean that they never were autistic. That does NOT mean that there are less autistic women than men. It means that it’s harder for women to get a diagnosis and the help they need. Same goes for autistic POC that are far less diagnosed than white people, that doesn’t mean that there are less autistic POC it just means that they aren’t getting a proper diagnosis. Some will straight up refuse to diagnose you if you are a woman or a POC. You need to realize your privilege and stop believing that undiagnosed autistics aren’t autistic.

I've watched this several times now, and that part on masking always makes me emotional. I just teared up. It just hurts so much because I felt that, I've gone through all those things. Noticing I was different, being told I was acting in the "wrong" way, that I was being rude for not looking people in the eye, or for fidgeting when I speak, that I talk too long about certain things that I care about and then they become noticeably bored and don't care. In many ways, masking and being in the closet are similar, I've experienced both. Unfortunately one is far easier to end than the other, and that's perhaps the easier one to deal with as well. Society was not made for us, and I try to forget that and get on with my life, but sometimes these little reminders knock me out of my willful ignorance and...it hurts. I'm not saying living as an autist is the worst thing ever, and I don't know anything else, but sometimes those little reminders hit you, and all those childhood experiences that othered you come rushing back.

Wow I worked in an Autistic care company as an IT engineer, and I got to experience the extreme side of autism, with violent outbursts and being physically attacked because I was an unknown or out of the routine staff. I took the punches and can happily say that I became friends with a few of residents. I truly believe that autism is completely misunderstood by the masses, and sadly I dont see that changing any time soon. However, videos like yours are helping

As a person with Asperger Syndrome, I was always surrounded by "normal" people and felt alienated and misunderstood. When I realized I might have some kind of autism and tried looking for help, I was told that "I'm looking for excuses". I received no help, instead, I was told to help myself and act like a normal person. So I had to read books about body language to actually understand what the hell it even is and how to behave "normally". Most people are still so ignorant about the condition that it's best to never even mention that I have it and just pretend to be normal.

Yeah, I learned to not tell anyone cause they treat you differently, even the nice people! Though they don't do it on purpose. When I was younger at some point my mother claimed I had autism, I never got actually diagnosed which about to finally at 22 now... But anyway when I was told by my mother I hated hearing that... I felt like that can't be true, or if it was I'll never be treated normal... But when I was younger I was bad at interacting with people in person. Also I don't get much anyway cause I've always been stuck at home... Either way, as I was saying. My mother told me I should tell people so they'll understand, but I quickly learned the bad thing about that. You lose respect. So ever since I don't really want anyone to know unless I trust them. It's really pathetic how most people are and treat people, in my opinion I think a lot of people lack empathy and a lot of autistic people actually have a normal amount. Welp there's my ad to this video.

I understand what Autism is quite well but because it has only been recently studied nobody knows what exactly causes this disorder to come about, Some speculate that this was a product of industrialization during the 20th century which caused chemicals and other poisonous material to leak out into air space therefore causing mothers to have this disorder implemented within their kids.

On the note of the behavioral, "therapy". I am autistic, and for the longest time, myself, my parents, and our doctor just believed I had ADHD and was antisocial. Since at the time..... autism was still a relatively unknown thing. So my parents response to it? Hire a social therapist that took the time to actually teach me how to be more social and capable of expressing myself to others. No shocks. No "negative reinforcement". Just social tutoring. The idea that barbaric shit like that still happens disgustes me, especially knowing that I'm living proof it isn't nessicary. Just take the time and show patience enough to just teach an autistic child how they can function in society. Thats it. The signs I was autistic were still there, but I could function. Still do. Thats all I wanted to say.

When I was young I always felt like I was different than everybody else. I was awkward, had trouble paying attention in class, and had an overly active imagination. I was occasionally bullied for being different and not fitting in with the other kids. Later in life I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and explained why I had difficulties with certain things. I started homeschooling in 5th Grade and I was doing much better in a controlled environment with my family. Tho later in life I started becoming increasingly lonely because I wasn’t having hardly any form of social interaction outside my home. I’m an only child so I have no siblings, my parents work often, and most of my family lives out of town. It was mostly just my parents, pets, movies, and the Internet that kept me company. I started increasingly having anxiety and concerns for my future and how I would turn out. Tho I kept my faith and continued to pray and trust that God had a plan for me and made me this way for a reason. I’m 18 years old now and I’m graduating high school this semester and moving on to college soon. I am doing well and have conquered my anxiety and insecurities. I am thankful for my family who never stopped believing in me and for my creator. Never feel ashamed for being different because our differences are what make us who we are and without different people the world would be a dark place.

Trust me as a Non-Autist, I know, I shouldn’t have an accompanied personal opinion, when it comes to Asperger Syndrome and the history of Asperger Syndrome, in terms of the historical data and consensus on Autism. Many researchers who are Autism researchers in terms of the idea were just doing clinical trials. In clinical trials, most of the researchers in terms of endless research the idea that Autism is something that can affect a person's brain, in social, of socialization skills, motor functioning skills, and sensory overload. I think when it comes to the general population 1 in 1,000 people are diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. They associate it with rarity because of the majority of our global population is predominantly Non-Autistic or have some Neurodivergency like ADHD, ADD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia. Neurodivergent population only makes up the 0.002% of the population. The majority of the population is Non-Autistic. Some People have undiagnosed ADHD. It is why they struggle with a lot of self-esteem issues. While there seems to be the causation of how neuro divergent they may be. I gotta admit, we definitely life in a ableist society that is mostly based on the Capitalist System. We value labor neighborhoods and the manual labor in order to hire people for Cheap Manual Labor.

I myself slipped past diagnosis of both ADHD and autism until much later - and to an extent, avoiding diagnosis in the 90's-early 00's probably limited the abuse I'd have been subjected to by other children and adults.

Thank you for this. My little brother has autism so I’m trying to understand it as much as possible so when you said in the beginning of video that you have autism yourself I was so happy, I knew it was going to be great because I am trying to understand his point of view but unfortunately he’s not able to speak and explain how he feels. It was very detailed and had so much valuable information. I just want to believe that when someone mentions a cure for it, they’re not talking about the torture that goes into trying to change autistic characteristics but rather an ‘antidote’, a vaccine or a pill. Not because autistic people need to be change but because sometimes (I think depending on the spectrum), autistic people do suffer with it. With all the overwhelming sensations. I do hate to see my brother cry for the smallest things and constantly hurts himself and also he gets frustrated as he’s non verbal. I see he’s in pain and that brings me pain too. I certainly wish there was something I could do to make him be able to have it easier on him and not have to depends on others forever. For some this might be just like a personality type, but for others it is a condition that keeps them from having a healthy and happy life. I hope some day he gets at least a little better but in therapy they’re not very positive about that. Don’t worry, the therapy he does is more like playing specific games that will make him more interested in objects and people, he loves therapy and his therapists, he’s always happy to go and play with them 🤗

People who use autism as an insult often associate autism with spastic and often obnoxious behavior. I just outright ignore the insult and make a mental note in my mind that the insulter is not of 'neurotypical' maturity. In addition, it's just an overall sh*t insult akin to using 'gay' as an insult. But sometimes in the context of something else other than myself and or autism it can be a somewhat humorous phrase.

That penguin walking bit hit way too close to home omfg. Recently I’ve been doing some research about autism (because our literature teacher decided to give us a little lecture about it on april 2nd, and that REALLY raised my interest) and I realised I could possibly have HFA. Because of that, lately I’ve been reflecting on my identity, my behavior, my life experiences and so on. But I’ve never realised my gait could be one of the symptoms Dr. Asperger had described! My relatives have always nagged me with how weirdly I walk, spreading my feet far apart like a penguin, but I can’t help it when I’m not conscious of it. And I could never know that it was one of the traits of autism!! I also can rotate my foot outwards by a really wide angle (I think 230-240 degrees maximum) but I doubt that’s a symptom lol. Besides that, this is such an amazingly informative video essay!! You’ve just earned a subscriber right here.

Another reason for that theory of mind test being confounded: toys generally go in chests. If the doll outside didn't see the toy being placed there, it's still quite obvious that it's the logical place a toy would be put away. Autistic people generally have deep intuitive understanding and can often come to logical conclusions about the current state of something very quickly. We also often notice small details others would consider irrelevant and use them to piece together information about people and events. Things like noticing the difference in someone's haircut in their driver's license picture when they take out their wallet, or the items they have in their drawer, or things like that. Our theory of mind is often so good that we can predict people's behavior with little information or when separated a long time, and coordinate out own actions accordingly. This often comes off as creepy (understandably), but isn't easy to turn off. People to this day have the misunderstanding that autistic people lack empathy and theory of mind, and it frustrates me a lot. Autistic people are almost always far more sensitive to emotional traumas than non-autistic people, and our theory of mind often considers how others are feeling so much (especially in adulthood) that we become miserable understanding how others feel around us, no matter how polite they are or how good they are at hiding their feelings. We have a lot of empathy, but sometimes due to that extra thinking about how people are feeling, or the implications of something others might not think about, that can make our emotions seem extreme and random. But really, we just connected the dots in a way others didn't, or were more affected than others. I hope non-autistic people can understand us better and won't believe non-autistic ideas about the autistic experience.

As someone with Aspergers, I can relate to the ‘noticing little differences’. For example, one time my brother got maccas when he stayed home from school, and I noticed that he had an extra toy from his happy meal. He wasn’t even using it, it was just on his desk. I also agree with the stuff you said about emotions. I know that I can sense emotions, and have very strong ones too. My problem is how to act to comfort people. I just don’t understand it. Finally, one thing that bothers me is that one time someone asked me what it’s like to be autistic, and I think about that a lot. I think about it because to me it’s just normal. It’d be the same if I asked what being ‘normal’ was like to a ‘normal’ person.

I was a store manager and trained a good deal of people when I was in retail. I left for something better-suited to my interests and skills. But it was one of the things that helped me realize that everything I'd been told about myself was false. I'd grown up feeling incapable, worthless, and stupid. I'd dropped out of college twice (usually math was the culprit). I ended up in that company out of desperation to escape a toxic environment. Turns out, I was pretty good at reading people, discerning where they would function best, systemizing, planning, breaking things down, and being able to supervise people and attend to their needs as an individual (the empathy we don't have apparently). Oh, and I was actually fine with numbers and keeping things within budget. I just have poor working memory, but the systems we had helped with that. I don't think I was the best manager ever. I have poor executive functioning after all. But I don't think I was a bad manager. Many of the people I hired and trained are still there in other manager positions. I'd like to think that I had something to do with that. :) Too bad everyone is taking off the masks now. Maybe I'll make a shirt that says "Social Media causes stupidity" :p

Thank you for this video. Growing up with diagnosed Asperger's Syndrome certainly left some scars for me; despite the fact that my teachers all knew about my diagnosis, I was still regularly chastised for behaviour that was just normal to me. The biggest one was just that I couldn't control my emotions, I got so emotional that I would regularly break down in tears during school, but rather than actually being given a chance to calm down and do my work in a quiet area or something that would have made me better, I would just be yelled at, sent to the principal's office, belittled by being told I was "throwing a tanty" and "acting like a baby", not to mention the whole "boys don't cry" shit that I was subjected to as a boy anyway. Surprisingly enough shaming me for expressing my natural emotions didn't make be become neurotypical and just turned me into an emotionally stunted teenager. Shocker! It's honestly sad that, through all of the help I was given, despite how hard my parents tried to give me a normal life, only now in my adulthood am I discovering so many things about my autism that I didn't know and actually coming to terms with how I interact with society. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who never find out until they're adults. We can only hope the understanding of autism in society continues to grow in the future (and for people to actually listen to us!!!)

Thank you so much for giving me a good video to show to people that have no clue about autism and for even teaching me a few new things. I have both autism (diagnosed as pdd nos) and ADHD and I was incredibly privileged by getting my diagnosis at a young age so that my parents could more easily get accommodations for me. They and the people around me (even the "experts") still to this day don't seem to know how to help me and a lot of the time I am also not able to express properly what I need. I also get dismissed as blowing things out of proportion or being a bratty crybaby, which is probably due to how intensely I've been subconsciously masking since I was young and my high test scores as a kid. My parents wouldn't even listen when I told them I wanted to go to a school where they touch how to cook, cut hair, ride horses, make art, learn health care, etc. They just put me in a special needs school for very intelligent people because that's what suited me. It did not. I've always been an artsy bitch and being put in a school where you only learn by reading books instead of practicing was a fucking trainwreck. I ended up dropping out and I think I'm still dealing with the burnout from that. Systemic discrimination towards neurodivergent people, especially autistic people, is such a big issue and it really needs to change. They want us to be productive members of society, but never give us the tools to actually accomplish that.

I like that you brought up "poor manners".

When you don't look people in the eyes they get angry that you're not listening to them... Eventhough it should be obvious that eyes aren't used for hearing. People use weird indirect hints instead of just saying what they really mean. Yet we don't tell non autistic people that they are super rude, because that would just be mean, because its just how they think differently. So please don't call autistics rude for thinking differently.

It meant I got the help I needed at primary school. I actually made good friends. Then we went to different high schools. I went to a high school with a 'special unit'. I was the only girl and as a result I became extremely lonely and depressed to the point of wanting to die. In 3rd year I entered the mainstream school because the teachers thought I was 'normal' enough. I was very isolated and was bullied and was so happy when I left school.

Then I watch this video and absolutely wanna cry, because what if I’m not, and I’m over saying I could be, meanwhile people are still trying to “cure” it. I’m a homosexual as well, and I could have never imagined this level of discrimination. You can be straight and white and rich (I say this because they have least discrimination here in the us)and still be damned like you’re impure. I sincerely feel for everyone who’s out there struggling trying to find a place in society, in a friend group, or, say you go undiagnosed, feel guilt your whole life because you’ve been stepped on and misunderstood the whole time.

I have been so sad and frustrated by the lack of understanding people have for autistic people. I found your video trying to find something informative and straightforward to help me advocate for my son. You are amazing and an inspiration. Your video is incredible. Thank you so much for this and I wish you all the success in the world. You might not be superhuman, but you are changing the world, and that’s even better in my book.

26:07 Thanks, and AAAAAAGGHH for explaining ABA. Growing Autistic myself, I had went through that and no matter how much I TRIED desperately to my parents about what was being done to me by the torture I was put through they ignored me thinking that it was all in my head since they saw the people who did everything to me and they thought they were good, kind, nice people and it wasnt until later into my teenage years when they realized things that they loved about me as a child didnt happen as much anymore and stories of what went on were told by other kids who witnessed my torture that it made a lot of people realize that were around me from a young age what the horrors were that ABA does to Autistic kids

"Autistic people are often portrayed as lacking emotions and being a general nuisance to those around them, but being tolerated for their attention to detail or analytical skills, so they keep him around as a useful tool." Obviously for starters, I'm not saying what he said is wrong. I just want to take this quote through a bit more analysis. The quote, unfortunately, is how a lot of neurotypical people see autistic people, because to them they: a) "Don't show emotions" which can relate to some particular situations where it is hard to express myself as "normal" people would. b) "Being a general nuisance" because they can't coast through the interaction easily and are annoyed that they can't just passively interact. c) "Being tolerated" being the point of mind of someone who know that they can: d) "keep him around as a useful tool" since neurotypical people try to justify behavior and that "since I can't have it easy with you, you have to do something for me in return" which leads to toxic relationships where autistic people will believe someone "normal" is their friend, but in reality they are being used because they are specifically good at something that they know they can exploit and is worth the "annoyance" of being around us for. Sorry for the really long information, but TL;DR: The quote above is generally true in the eyes of neurotypical people and is a sad reality in my opinion.

This is unfortunately always the case if you're different from someone in any way. More often than not, they will just pretend to be your friend and use you, while also always complaining about difficult you are to handle, only to throw you under the bus when they no longer need you, and then go and tell everyone else how they're the victims of "evil" you. Unfortunately, humans can be incredibly cruel.

My time in elementary school was hell because I was autistic and everyone there knew it. Everyone saw me as a disabled person so they saw me as an easy target and bullied me a lot. Fortunately, the teachers, my parents and the few friends I had gave me a lot of moral support. The bullying stopped once I got into high school since I was now in a different school where no one knew who I was.

Thank you so much for your video. I am a social worker therapist, and unfortunately I had several of the negative preconceived ideas of autism prior to this video. This has opened a brand new door for me and I am so happy to start learning. As a side note, I absolutely love your content. I started watching your video on why India is still poor last night, and have gone into a deep dive of your content. Your history lessons are better than any course I’ve ever taken, so thank you!

This past year I've been on a journey about realizing my autism. Content like this is among some of the first times in my life I have ever felt... understood, I guess that's the word. It's a tremendous comfort and thank you for this content. The part where you were explaining Autistic conversion therapy, that hit me hard. My parents never bothered to have me tested, they just tried to punish the behavior out of me and it never worked. Now, I have no family outside of a cousin, an uncle and my wife who are all neurodivergent as well.

Austin is the capital city of the US state of Texas. It is the 11th most populous city in the US, the 4th most populous city in Texas, and the 2nd most populous state capital city in the US. The recorded history of Austin, Texas, began in the 1830s when Anglo-American settlers arrived in Central Texas. In 1837 settlers founded the village of Waterloo on the banks of the Colorado River, the first permanent settlement in the area. By 1839, Waterloo would adopt the name Austin and become the capital of the Republic of Texas. (From Wikipedia if anyone is curious.)
