When you're not sure if your date is also autistic  

My hubby, me and my daughter (all Autistic) have blinking, staring conversations all the time and it's a beautiful thing to behold because it's not awkward, it's just a Tuesday.

You might not connect romantically, but hopefully this becomes a wonderful friendship.

Look at me. On this date. Functioning 😂

“That’s a hate crime” 😂 cute couple!

appreciate the honest and contactless ending, that's hot

I loved the honest communication at the end. What a relief

Why did you call me out in the first second with knowing fonts way too well

This brings back memories of the time I was at a party and one of the other guests, a child psychologist, asked my (non-ASD) wife, "Soooo..... does your husband know he has Autism?" 🤣

Honestly, talking about fonts and their effective applications sounds like a fine conversation. I'm in.* *under the condition I don't have to leave my home or change from my sweatpants or be assaulted by bright lights.

This is remarkably relatable. And cute. Well done!

When a neurotypical person asks me if I'm autistic, I'm offended. When an autistic person asks me if I'm autistic, I'm flattered. I actually am not autistic, but I have C-PTSD. If a neurotypical person asks me this question, odds are they are using it as an insult. If it's an autistic person asking it, odds are they're just trying to establish trust. Trust is the love language of people with C-PTSD. There are similarities between autism and C-PTSD, which makes it easier to empathize with one another. The vast majority of people don't give a shit about our comfort. They want to "fix" us in order to fit in.

But now I want to hear what he said about the font! 😅

I went on a date once and me and my date legit went on about aircraft for what must have been hours, it was great

I love this doubly as an autist and a fan of Peep Show

this should have more views

This was freaking awesome

Pro tip: just open with "hmm, it appears we both have autism", like a true chad once demonstrated.

Ok. All well and good, but...what was the font on the menu? Probably something sans serif for readability. But don't just leave us hanging like that!

I scared a friend away once by talking about our autism (must've made him uncomfortable that I could tell)

I like this but I’m confused by the end

That was wholesome!

what is the font on the menu the same font as?

Its so funny. I swear im autistic in sime way but ive gotten so good at controlling how im perceived that i genuinely make people think im normal. Maybe borderline. Every psychiatrist gives me a different diagnosis 😂

Bro I think everyone and their mom knew I was autistic but never told me... You know how exactly I started to suspect something was off about me? From a random 18+ manhwa. When I was 29. Not even kidding...

Noe make them also shy.

LOL, me and my best friends!

This feels so much like an episode from the peep show

This is a very sweet video.

this is the most relatable ever, tho, very painful experience. I can date like once a year or two, or I will lose it, ngl. Always end up very very horror for me.

Not really feeling the spark is so accurate

She is gorgeous 😍

Autistic Women are often undiagnosed but like this girl… They are absolutely stunning.

My doctor is autistic. Sometimes I found it weird how I said something, and instead of reacting like I expect she just stares at me for 5 seconds with a blank expression :DDD I guess it's normal, I've now found.

so cute... but honestly thinking about cool fonts... wishing i could remember names..i used to print them out to have my favorites on a sheet. short studies in graphic design but then went off on a font tangeant. copperplate was always a fav and considered printing off labels for my spices but printer went off with the ex and the gf he wasnt cheating on me with.....cuz he said it was in my head. nope very real but moving on.... thats ok no spark anyway and i had better conversation with my dog. good luck to them. maybe their wedding invitations in some swirly script font. or lets be real itll be comic sans cuz its a joke. soon it'll all be in her head too. poor girl. but thats the way life goes anyway cute video

Stuart, is your family from North or South Carolina? Maybe Spartanburg? We share the Laws family name, so I was curious. (Not as common as Law or Lawson, etc.) 😉🙂‍↔️

I wonder if autism is human beings adapting to low sensory and low energy conditions and normalizing to it... and then when exposed to high energy and high sensory conditions becoming overwhelmed and irritated by it (to the point of not being able to cope or think straight) so that you don't operate properly.

guys please don't take this video seriously, i'm autistic and i assure you im not like this lol 🤣

This word: date?

I didn't understand his last line and couldn't read the caption because the suggested video covered it up. 😐

I can't take all this will they won't they!! I hope they don't! x.x

This behavior seems completely normal to me ... Wait... Am I autistic? Are most people I know autistc?!

Either express it outright, or wear a “Autism awareness” bracelet, and play with it to the point they have to make the connection

Not being funny here - saying this as someone who's supposedly ADHD - I feel like we're stretching the certain categories of neurodivergence to the point that they're not helpful. Or to put it more personally, I'm pretty sure two or three of my friends could be diagnosed as autistic, but honestly I just think of them as people who interact differently than the average person. I'd far rather understand who they are as individuals than try to interact with them based on a diagnosis/neurodivergent category. EDIT: I looked over what I wrote, and thought some folks might think I'm saying that autism isn't a thing, and I'm not saying that. I know I'm neurodivergent, I experience flow/hyperfocus, distractability because just one thing at a time isn't enough stimulation, a tendency to impulsivity, etc. And among my (newer) friends is a guy who shows virtually no facial expression, converses very awkwardly and monotone, doesn't have the best sense of timing. One of the things I love about the guy is that he still shows up to social events and contributes and stretches himself when it's very obvious it's not comfortable for him, but he knows the other person values his doing that. I have no idea whether he has a diagnosis of autism, and I honestly don't care, it's not going to change how I interact with him.

It honestly confuses me. My best friend is sure they are autistic. I see they try to hope or find others to be autistic too, and wondered if it is an online thing, everyone trying to get everyone else to be so they feel normalized. If they do not want marriage or deep relationships, it just feels like time to move on. Sad.

When I go out on dates and want to known if they are autistic I give them some paint and canvas and brushes to see what they create.

0:43 cue for cringe.

might be a shocker, but some of us dont care about eye contact, in fact Ive been told I make 'aggressive' eye contact, what ever that means

I'm in this video and I don't like it

So true bestie
