I'm very lucky that I'm able to be clinically tested soon. I had my gp refer me for a neuropsych, and I followed that up by having my mom call them. While I actively don't live with her and am not a minor 😭

0:20 _ I Love Alex's Analogy with the iPhone and Android Phones to use it with the Autism Spectrum!

11:23 🤣😂🤣😂🥲😂 thank you!!!

Helping this go viral. So good!!! ✨🙏🏽❤️

Ok these are actually good ones

8:10, for me, I am sometimes on a parallel plane that only partially intersects with the masculine side of the plane. Most of the time tho I am not interacting with The ∞GenderCube™ that is shown here at all as my main ∞EnbyGenderCubes™ have different axes (plural of axis, not more than one axe) than this one. I am an alien wanderer throughout the gender-multiverse.

1:56 why autism? What does it mean rather than non binary and belonging?

Wait a minute... Am I Autistic...? It would definitely explain some things.

How the fuck is this so relatable 🤣🤣🤣 how are you in my brain?!

The VR God one was my absolute favourite. All because he didnt say hello 😂😂. Yes! Rude a$$. And the monotone stabbing motions as she destroys their home 😂 brilliant

6:40 I wish the woman in the background would shut up. Her comments are extremely irritating and add nothing of value to the video

High functionning? you mean "on the verge of burnout", right?

Dear reader: Do not celebrate or promote the person in the second video. That person was extremely unwell.

I’m diagnosed autistic. I never saw myself as the hunter type either. When I was 18 I did archery for the first time on a trip to Ireland and immediately got a bullseye. 😳

RUBBISH MALE FEMALE DEFORMATIONS AND MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY 😂

I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS. You guys all rock. I'm so glad we have the Internet so that we can find, support, encourage and validate each other. I feel a deep sense of tragic sadness for our forebears who went through life in earlier centuries without having the support WE have from each other. THANK YOU GUYS

10:00 is so relatable for my school experience, except i had no problem accepting a loss of grades. That i actually graduated is kind of surprising.

12:31 honest genuine straightforward off-putting One of these things is not like the others....

11:09 so people are barking at each other, but with extra steps

3:05 damn you explained my current ‘freeze state’ I’ve been in for the past 3 years. My inner voice was said VERY similar things to me also because even my sister would berate me for being myself and would mock my special interests. Especially when I tried to study art in school and got told more things that stunted my creativity for so long. Even now I am desperately trying to find a way to feel like myself again and to lose myself in my passions like I used to. It used to be such a wonderful escape from life and my chaotic home life. I’d like to to do that again now that I am in a happier place…

“Why didn’t you hello? Now I have to destroy your house.” Lmao!

I thought university of Washington was known as a party school...

8:00 it's like going through life with a bunch of cars telling you it's easy to stay upright and finally finding out it's just that you're a motorcycle.

"I have social anxiety god dammit" *[UNLEASHES A PURPLE HYPER BEAM]* She's really living all of our fantasies

These are good ones. That last one hits me good because I think I have an auditory processing disorder. Sometimes, depending on how worn out and hungry I am, I can't process people's words. My hearing is fine, but I often don't hear half of what people say. I saw the lady with the Ted Talk. I loved that she didn't wear shoes. I hate shoes, but I'm been punished for walking around barefoot. Sure, I wear them where I am supposed to, but I should be able to walk around outside without any shoes. But, I guess not as it upset my neighbors.

I like the part about self-diagnosis. And, I also think autism is VERY common, has been around a very long time, and is a natural variation in neurology. I see autistic traits in a lot of people who would never think they had it. I don't know why someone would fake autism as most neurotypical people see it negatively and often use it against people who have it.

autistic heart rates being faster makes so much sense, i needed to get my heart checked to get ADHD meds and it showed to be very fast for a resting heart rate. but i was just like wdym i dont feel it this is how it always is??

11:30 was a great video I've seen a few videos now that bring up the more negative sides of autism and the struggle of making close and personal relationships. But they were all downright depressing or just way too cynical, to the point I couldn't even sit through watching some of them. This post managed to be very relatable, while still making it feel like he's not saying this is an objective truth. It's his experience and the bad parts will happen to others, but they're things that don't have to. Things that, with understanding, acceptance and accomodation, people will experience less and less A lot of his post was very relatable, but it gives me hope that won't always be the case. I don't use TikTok so it'd be hard to thank him but I'll do it here anyway. Thank you for making my day just a little bit better

Amazing! laughed out loud while holding tears from "sad but true" parts 🤣😅 Love this ❤

The part about walking style and masking really hit home for me. I was teased constantly for how I walked in school.

I don’t find Self-Diagnosis to be enough. Too many ableist people tend to thought I was trying to get attention, or thought I was on a trend of thinking. The only way I see Self-Diagnosis as Valid is the “Self” part, if you prove to yourself that you’re autistic, then you can start clearing out your internalized ableism and begin to be able to understand and take care of yourself. A professional diagnosis takes the wind out of the ableist’s sails and makes it harder for them to say you’re just attention-seeking.

Awesome but can you *please* adjust the volume levels so we don't get jump scares every 10 seconds?

I heard the second girl say you either are or aren't autistic. While this may be true for labeling purposes, i believe that it is a combination of hundreds of gene interactions and the fact that it is gundreds of genes in different combinations means that some people can have stronger or less strong expressions of certain traits. Therefore yes, it can be considered 'mild' autism while still being autism. It runs in my family and we all express certain things differently.

Yeah, a lot of tears flowed during this one.

the girls with the IQ Bell curve swears a lot and is fighting against a lot of strawmen 🤔

Thank you for putting these videos together on KZbin! I specifically avoid places like TikTok for reasons and this helps me to at least access these great creators in a way that works for me and I bet many others who refuse to patronize those other platforms. I just wish all the people making such good stuff on TitTok would GTFO of there lol.

LMAO 💀😅😓 A lot of these crack me up becuz funny and sad Late (self)diagnosed

Me as a kid: "I love shooting guns but I hate the sound." Me as an adult: "Those archers might be onto some shit."

Irs 3:52pm i have six minutes until im worthless

Seriously... some social ques sound reallllllllly pointless. If I can't say how I'm actually doing then whyyyy ask me? I don't want to keep up with pointless charades of keeping up with the Joneses.

An excellent collection. Rare vintage. Gem. Every single one was on point & funny af.

Hearing that self diagnosis is so valid is so validating lol. Because I was literally just told that just because I researched it doesn’t mean it’s true, and that all of my research is useless, and if it doesn’t come from a professional opinion from someone who’s very well studied in it then my self-diagnosis means absolutely fucking nothing apparently.

I, for some reason decided yesterday was the day I needed to have the conversation with my mom about how I thought I was autistic and she just completely traumatized me. The conversation went about as good as a freaking housefire. I was called delusional and crazy and someone who is only saying all this stuff because I want a pity party. Yeah really fucking mentally traumatizing for me. But I guess it’s my fault, I was just missing the social cues that she wanted the conversation to be over and I just kept pushing through because I really want to talk about it. And this woman gets so in my head that she’s making me dismiss everything I thought. It’s like gaslighting to the ninth°. She’s convincing me my own research is bogus. And she’s making me like crawl back inside my shell. Now I’m like doubting if I actually have autism or not. I’m not tested but I’d like to get tested and she’s like gaslighting me so hard that I’m thinking I shouldn’t even ask my therapist anymore. It’s really fucking soul crushing. Sorry for trauma dumping. I literally just experienced this like two hours ago, and it’s crippling me.

Heh

OK BUT THE PUPEL THING. I used to work at a haunted house and theyd give the actors a few minutes to ajust to the dark. I was always able to see way better than the others quicker.

Allistic's? I refer to them as normies or npc's...

My fellow autistic brothers and sisters, please don't hold onto sore feelings from your youth. Kids are naturally cruel. Neurotypical kids were also cruel to other neurotypical kids. There are mature, neurotypical adults that still can't and won't be able to genuinely adapt to neurodivergent children and adults. Accept and be humble with your life. You're simply just different. I rarely tell people I'm autistic because I'veI learned to "mask" incredibly well. Sometimes the awkwardness or "glitches" happen. Then people wonder what's up with me. Our interfaces are flawed. Interpreting the world around us is just as difficult as we conveying our thoughts and reactions to others. Autistic people interacting with autistic people is still difficult yet non-autistic people interact with non-autistic just fine unless one of them is an antagonist. Anyways, lean to mask and deal with the burnout and you'll be just fine.

@ 4:21 That's a normie pretending to be autistic.

I’m Autistic. Of course I’ve heard of Alan Turing. 😂

i appreciate your videos so much and the cherry on top and at the bottom is your groovy soundtrack!! thank you for that i get into a groove every time i hear it and it makes me feels so warm and delicious and safe <3
