***i filmed this video a while back and was VERY VERY sick at the time. I feel like it’s noticeable in my voice and energy and I’m a little self conscious about how that may come across as apathetic in the video, so I just wanted to explain that so you know that I was just trying to breathe/make full sentences while I was sick and on a ton of antibiotics lol
Thank you all so much for watching, ilu ❤❤❤

My GP told me I couldn’t have autism because, at the time, I was a college student, had two jobs, and an internship. Now I have three jobs, and guess what: I still have autism. Just because I have autism doesn’t mean I’m not capable of holding down a job and living life.

@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS 4 года назад

The therapist who eventually diagnosed me didn't believe I could have autism because I was so self reflective. (In a recent conversation with an autistic friend he said to me, "Have you noticed that people who aren't autistic aren't very self reflective in general?" Like they often have no clue regarding their motivations.) Eventually, over time, he was able to see that I was in fact autistic. (I only raised the possibility with him because I'd read a book by an autistic woman because I thought it would be interesting not that I thought I was autistic, and for the first time in my life, I saw my voice in writing. And so when the therapist said, "No, I think that unlikely," I let it drop.) I was an attorney, a mediator, a workshop developer and provider. Getting the diagnosis explained a lot and hopefully will prove useful should I ever consider being in relationship again. While many autistic people may not need this, I know that I need those who love me to screen whomever I become involved in. My optimistic nature draws too many people to me who think they've found an easy way to mental health and happiness ... like I will rub off on them or I can wrap mental health in a package and give it to them. (Everyone has to do their own work; there's no easy way; there's only through.) When I can't, they end up resenting me for that and for not reading their minds, which for not so healthy allistic folk means I must be self centered or inconsiderate or don't really love them. Um, it means I'm autistic and miss cues. Avoidant personalities find my directness refreshing at first and then scary later (as they fall back into their natural way of coping), which only hastens the dissolution of the relationship.

@TheWilliamHoganExperience Год назад

@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS I'm in my late 50s, recently diagnosed, and trying to come to terms with similar issues. I'm a licensed architect and was a college professor teaching architecture and design for many years. Outward success and the unconcious repression / masking of my autistic nature led to a complete shudown 10 years ago. So many failed relationships and freindships and employment situations. I don't blame allistic people for not understanding me - I didn't understand myself. I'm a little more disapointed in the mental health profession however. I spent 40 years - since childhood - being misdiagnosed / underdiagnosed. I saw at least a dozen different shrinks and psychiatrists for the crippling anxiety and depression I struggled with. Ultimately it was an ex-girlfreind who suggested - by way of love, acceptance and forgiveness - that I might be autistic. So I looked into it, took some online tests, and eventually was able to get a refferal from my current psychiatrist for a full autism assessment. Yup, I'm autistic. Now what? There's VERY little knowledge about the needs of older, non intellectually disabled autistic adults. Zero about intellectually gifted ones like me, who also meet the criteria for ADHD. So I figure we are on our own. Thank god for RU-vid and other online resources and communities that focus on autism. Thank god for autistic people who have the courage and work ethic required to put up a channel and discuss their expereinces as autistic adults. We need to work together to share our expereinces and insights and to educate the allistic world about how autistic neurodivergence impacts how we interact with them. I'm also thinking that the best chance at recieving effective professional support is going to come from autistic therapists. It's simply impossible for truly allistic people to understand the challenges we face, much less how to address them.

@littlefemme4957 5 лет назад

Pros of being autistic: seeing the world differently, being super knowledgeable about my special interests which is helping my education, as a teenager I kept to myself and mainly read books so I guess a pro would be that I didn't get into any shenanigans Cons of being autistic: the world is too loud, bright, and textured for me to take in at once (my sense of touch is really sensitive. I feel like the sensation will run through me and the only way to get rid of the extreme feeling is by flapping my hands), being embarrassed about stimming in public, internalized ableism for myself and self shaming about certain traits. I'm drumming more openly than before and am working on my feelings of shame. It's hard, but I take it one day at a time. I love being me. I love my autism too.

@PudgeySeal 5 лет назад

I teach swimming, and so I work with kids a lot. Every few session I always get a child in one of my classes who's on the spectrum. I like seeing videos like this because, though I think I do pretty ok, it's always good to hear a first person perspective on experiences. It helps me know how to adapt my classes better to give all my kids as good of an experience as I can.

@OliverHatched 5 лет назад

@isa0ber 5 лет назад

hi aaron, i've heard that it's harder to diagnose adults with autism because they've learnt a lot of ways to adapt to a world that is hostile to them and that might result in their symptoms being hidden or being less obvious. when i read dsm symptoms i don't relate but when i watch your videos i do and i do wonder if i might be in the autistic disorder spectrum. if u were to rewrite the dsm symptoms, would you change anything? are there misconceptions that might make it harder for someone to realize whether they're autistic or not? also, u look so cute in this video!!! :'-)

@ndhbndn 5 лет назад

Yeah I felt the exact same way my theory is that since the dsm description isn’t written by autistic people that it doesn’t get written in a language autistic people can understand/apply to themselves. If you still feel this way I recommend looking for resources about autism by autistic people that’s what personally helped me the most. If you need any suggestions for resources just ask!

@laylastone7852 5 лет назад

I really love this. When I was a child all my teachers suggested to my parents that I was on the spectrum. They didnt want me labelled so they never had me diagnosed (even though it was pretty obvious to everyone that I was autistic) I'm now 26 and still haven't had a diagnosis but by this point I've learned to live with the way I am and don't see the point putting a label on myself. But, I love that you are so comfortable with diagnosis, its really lovely. And it just shows how different we all are! Keep doing you and thank you for spreading love and positivity in a world that is so unkind to those of us who are a bit different.

So I did and am just now finding out at 19 that I am on the autism spectrum. Thank you for making this video, it helps me get a grasp on everything.

@wonkybee7612 5 лет назад

oh i gotta add: the thing about being extremely logical while also being strangely artistic is totally a thing. when i was in like 8th? grade we did this quiz thing idk that determined basically how logical/artistic/etc we were and i had like pretty much an even score between sciences and logic and art. several of the staff commented on it and i don't think anyone else in my class got a score like mine. cut to several years later those are like the only classes i did well in. go figure.

@slightbirb3204 5 лет назад

I relate to some of the things you're saying :) i got diagnosed with adhd (inattentive type) + autistic traits almost a year ago now. Not a "full on" asd diagnosis because i don't meet all the criterias but enough for it to be part of my diagnosis? it's kind of complicated, but psychologists are limited to existing conditions so to speak, however my adhd and autistic traits are of course interlinked. not to mention people who have adhd are likely to also have ocd, autism, tourettes and/or bipolar disorder. it's an interesting subject to get into! i really relate to what you're saying about remembering things. i do remember details very well, but i'm also sometimes the opposite. it's like my brain either remembers everything or nothing lol. i think it's got to do with my neurodivergency tbh. i'm also musically inclined like you. i hope you do a video like this on adhd :) it was interesting to hear you talk about autism in this way!

@Robotfull 5 лет назад

omg that learning thing, i have that too. like i must know WHY i must do this certain thing exactly like this (like for example i was a real pain in the butt for all my past teachers.....) so i can understand it and in many cases improve the process (also a reason my teachers didn’t always appreciate me).

@Robotfull 5 лет назад

AND THE LOGICAL THINKING oops sorry, the logical thinking with performing task sufficiently is so me too. i thought for a long time that im quite spontaneous and all that but then i moved in with my current spouse and he folds laundry “wrong”, does dishes “wrong” and all that and when i studied that what made me so annoyed with these things i found that i had learned the most sufficient, fast, ergonomic and economical way of doing things. dont worry im not a monster so i talk to my spouse openly about my autistic traits and not just like explode at him when he doea things his way. we have found many compromises and sometimes he has adapted my ways if he finds them logical too.

@Robotfull 5 лет назад

also yes, i hate doing laundry but i hate it more when i have to do certain steps of these task without the proper under work done. like theres a simple order on which you put everything to dry right way around and for example t-shirts are with other t-shirts and sock go dry in pairs and everything is kinda organised already so i just have to (when folding) go from one category to another and the clothes will be in great order in the basket so i just can pick all the t-shirts at once and place them into the closet and so on. i struggle with daily things so much so it’s almost unbearable do have to do them in illogical order or something

So you said that numbers are pretty important to you, right? Like the music example. But does that mean that you're really good at math too? 🤔 or are those things totally different from each other ? Would be interesting 😊

I relate with this video so much. I have the biggest suspicion that I am on the autism spectrum however my mother constantly says that I was tested as a baby and that I'm not. I don't fully believe that since when I was tested doctors still believed that girls don't have autism and if your child looks you in the eyes they can't possibly have autism. Anywho, I just wanted to say that 1) your videos are amazing. I love them. 2) I relate to you so much. It almost feels like you we're telling my life story. And 3) Sensory overload is literal hell. I hate it. Especially when people try to lightly touch me. Makes me want to scream.

My therapist suspects I may be on the spectrum. I'm 38. I'm not really keen on getting an official diagnosis, because I still have gender affirming surgeries I want to pursue (bottom surgery/hysterectomy) and I'm scared that the diagnosis would get in the way or force me to jump through a lot of hoops to prove my mental competence.

I remember that when I first was diagnosed with aspergers my mom showed me a ted talk by someone with aspergers. One way they explained it is that the logic part of the brain is increased at the cost of the empathetic part of the brain. I feel that I was able to relate with that to a large degree.

That part about always thinking you were right when you were younger, until you developed enough emotional maturity to respect others perceptions really hit home for me. It took me a long time to learn that even though I could remember lots of facts and view things in a logical way doesn't mean I had a developed and mature understanding of the world. It turns out there's a lot you can learn from people, even "dumb" people, if you are actually willing to listen and consider what they say.

How do I respect my boundaries and not offend the other person if I rarely want to be touched?

All we can do is human beings in this physical world is put a label on something that is just psychologically phenomenon from a starting point.

Its so hard for me to accept if im ever wrong oof my grandma calls it pissty dust when i get in a mood -_-. Also I play the drumsss and like art but cant draw most things from memory. Ive got sensory issues with specifically noises and textures. The other day a friend of mine was playing an edited really annoying wii thing on repeat and in short i flipped out. I really like rules and patterns and things cause theyre predictable too. For me autism is all social emotional and sensory with some slight adaptive stuff

@HisBlood77 3 года назад

hey Aaron i really appreciate this video. I was born with Autism as well but my spectrum hasnt been considered Aspergers. Mine was something called PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder). You have given me encouragement to well help me better accept my Autism. You have alot of similiarities to me. Most of what you said is pretty much me. I gotta ask though because I honestly thought about learning how to be a counselor or maybe do something in business, but what is driving you to learn Psychology and how is that working for you?

I understand music and how to play but I can't teach myself because if I mess up or don't sound right the first time I get way to frustrated and I give up

Does it get on your nerves when the store is out of things you use on a regular basis? That is something that drives me nuts, and if the manufacturer reduces the package size or changes the ingredients. I can tell when a manufacturer changes even one ingredient in a food and I usually get really turned off and then can't eat it. If it changes the texture also that's even worse.

I have no filter and I don’t try to be rude usually and I sort of just blurt things out witch can come of rude

@BrightAmbition 5 лет назад

Aaron, I honestly feel the same way as you do... People do not get my sensory issues nor that I see things so overly logical so I come across as rude or insensitive but when I do have emotions I floor every kind of feeling or emotion because I never understand most feelings/emotions. I don't mean to be rude though and I also hate change I always need a set schedule along with loving music and the arts so much but I see music differently because I have synesthesia so I see mostly colors, shapes and pictures instead of notes and ugly white paper(s). That's why learning how to read music was hard for me, if I was taught the right way either self taught or by the right teacher I'd be so advanced and playing more than 10 music instruments right now. That's something that doesn't come naturally because there is a disconnect between what I see and what I hear so when I hear music if they tell me to do it the old fashion way I don't see it that way and it logically confuses my brain... I like your video, btw your cat is adorable! :)

Thank you for this video!! It's great to see the point of view of someone who's directly concerned by the subject. Keep up the good work 😘 My older brother was diagnosed with autism very young. However I wasn't diagnosed. But for the past 2 years I've gotten really into learning about all of this and now that I got basic knowledge I noticed I was doing or experiencing a lot of the "symptoms". Idk if that's a kind of copying mechanism I got from living with my bro or if there's smth going on 🧐 Also I was advised to buy stim toys for school because I struggle a lot to concentrate and think when I'm not doing smth with my hands, idk if that could help??

@HarrietFitzgerald580 5 лет назад

I was assessed earlier this year. An hour interview with a resident upon which the psychiatrist then faltered back to a previous diagnosis I'd had, years ago, of bpd. They categorically refused that I see a neuropsychologist. In my report things were stated, such as because I cosleep with my children and husband I cannot possibly have sensory issues. I am interested in learning about human behaviour, I've sought help through therapy often and so clearly I'm not on the spectrum. I am a girl, so clearly I'm not on the spectrum. 😂😅🙈

Hi Aaron, I think I’m likely autistic but I never got diagnosed and now I’m really scared to. My school is famous for being really accommodating and there’s at least 1 autistic person in every class, but that leads to NT students being really upset and feeling “discriminated against” because there are like “relaxation rooms” and assistants for autistic students only... It’s at a point where autism has become a sort of “meme” at the school. I’m really scared of what it could mean for me to get an official diagnosis.

@monica2757 5 лет назад

Interesting vid! I relate to a lot of what you mention although I am not on the spectrum... (I have ADHD) Personally I find I rely on logic for a lot of things to the point I often seem insensitive :S. And with regards to learning...school....was always very stressful and I find I learn far better being left to figure things out on my own in a flexible environment

I can play lots of musical instruments. I collect ocarinas (I have 17 now?) in different keys, shapes, ranges, and tones. I also play viola, ukulele, keyboards (I want my grandfather's acoustic organ to get fixed, I love it), and can play almost everything except for brass instruments because they make my mouth feel weird. I made a bunch of instruments with rubber bands as a kid too, it was fun. I also have to play viola by tying it to myself due to shoulder dislocations. I wish I had more time for music, I tried getting a minor in musicology (the history, emotion, and impact of music), but had to drop it due to course conflicts. I often find I communicate better by using songs or art. I dated someone once and we'd just be sending each other songs because that was how we related. Of course the communication issues got too bad to continue, but I wonder if we're both on the autism spectrum. It's too expensive to get diagnosed, so it's suspected for me, but I'm not going to pay $2000 CAD for a diagnosis. If I had the money to spare, I'd rather spend that on fixing up that organ.

I loved this video. with my Sensory Processing Disorder, I had a 2-week spell where my husband at the time couldn't stand within 3 feet of me because it felt like he was tickling my feet but all over my body and it really sucked. Do you also have Central Auditory Processing Disorder?

hi Aaron, I can relate to a lot of the symptoms you describe, but haven't been diagnosed. I'm going to explore this further. Thank you :)

@RennietheRobit 5 лет назад

2:05 I get where that comes from, though it is not very prevalent after you learn to adapt to social cues. It's not necessarily that some of us are trying to be rude, but oftentimes we end up being very blatant and not understanding when to say and not say certain things. Getting off topic is also pretty common, to my dismay when I'm trying to make a clear point and my brain's like "but what about this random thing?"
