love you paige <3

Weaponisation of identity politics is a game you'll never win -- you made the right choice to step away from it all

3? I've got one friend, and a girlfriend, and sometimes even that feels like too much. On the plus side, I always have someone to play video games with, and my girlfriend let's me touch her butt. So I got that going for me, which is nice. Also, obviously social gatherings have differences. A funeral is different from a wedding. It wouldn't be appropriate to smile or laugh at a funeral, and it wouldn't be appropriate to mourn at a wedding.

this is absolutely unhinged, i’m so sorry you went through that :(

You helped me. I'm a 40 y.o. self diagnosed autistic woman and you helped me. I hope you continue to do what you love and if doing these videos are not what you want then so be it but I want you to be happy. I can't help you back like you helped me but I can tell you I hope you are happy with whatever you pursue. Much love to you.

AuDD here: tried taking a driver's license 3 times, and I can relate to the parents, or rather dad, not wanting to help out with teaching me anything. Only later on in life when I was in my 30s he was changed his tune. I also aced the theory, because that's all logic after all, but on the day of my drivers test they opened the hood and was like "what's that?" and we hadn't been taught anything about the motor and what's connected to it etc. so I think I just said it was the motor. Maybe that's one of those neurotypical stereotypical things because I'm a man I'm just supposed to know by osmosis? Anyway, failed that drivers test because the guy said "take the second exit out of this roundabout" and I counted a road that's not accessible by car (as I'm bicycle/pedestrian-brained) and tried turning into a one way street. He didn't like that one bit. Also, I can relate to the "going too fast" on the highway, like that's not normal, the metal box becomes a killing machine there, one wrong decision and it's game over.

Your friends eyes are beautiful

It's a big mess you shown, but do you ever had a dresser, or shelves to storage your clothes nice?

I'm with her. I have autism I know that I'm not in Canada. I'm only in the U.S. and I have respect for Canadian people.

I like your style clothes

I like cinnamon buns

On a scale 1 to 3 i believe my autistic lifetime is going 3. I wish I can see you around.

I think I believe we can start up acting our own age.

Thank you for making this video. In case if you see this comment, here's an outline of my situation (you have no idea how many times I've tried to condense and rewrite this 😂): I am a teenager that is suspecting AuDHD, but I am not diagnosed with it, nor anything else. One sibling and my mom are diagnosed with ADHD, my other sibling is diagnosed AuDHD, and my dad probably is autistic as well (he's said so himself). He has actually mentioned the possibility of me being on the spectrum along with many remarks about my traits, but no one has really done anything about it. In terms of my mom, I'm afraid to tell her the most. She probably wouldn't have an issue with the ADHD part, but she'd definitely accuse me of hypochondria if I mentioned autism. (For some reason, she thinks I think I have OCD, which is hilarious to me. I actually looked into it for fun and it actually kind of did describe me a bit, but that's aside the point 😂) And my parents tell each other everything, so far chance of a secret discussion. I was wondering if you or anyone else would have some advice for my situation? I don't want to be accused of being a hypochondriac or anything, and I'm worried they won't do anything about it.

Do you have a sister named Menzie Menzenniel? You guys are both on my for you page and looks sooooo much alike with different hair colour

Going to be a long comment - also feeling I already commented on this some months ago, but oh well 😂 5:42 "everything is a person" - me, not wanting to water my (suffering) plant in the night (when I remember that I wanted to water it days ago) because I might wake it up... 😅 Yes, everything has a soul and might get sad if I preferred another thing, especially my stuffed animals. 🥺 I said good night to EVERY (btwn 20-30) stuffed animal before going to bed. Because all of them deserved it, not just my favourite teddy. I let them take turns to be in bed so they'd also have a chance to be comfy during the night :P 9:20 oh, yesss. I couldn't see the floor anymore, I swear xD One time, my mom threatened to throw away some stuff if I wouldn't clean it up/put it away. Didn't believe her. I came home from school and it was gone. Fished it out from the bin again, but OH, was I furious 😅 I once had someone over (few years ago) who deliberately put my tooth paste from the left to the right side on the sink, because he thought it funny. I felt so irritated, also by the fact that he did it on purpose. How could anyone have fun doing that? Irritating people for fun? Well, never saw him again 🙄 16:58 same 😢 I start ghosting people once I find out they have a different view on specific topics. Things I can't handle to be around. "how could you believe this!!??" (but that's now, not in childhood xD) And I can relate to some other stuff as well, but missed it while I was typing here...

Ah, you gotta love the woke

Please if people could stop offending dog training every time they watch ABA training videos. Modern, progressive dog training is way beyond an "obedience" focus, it's a complex process that considers the dog's needs and overall well being, and there's nothing like this constant touching and grabbing, personal space invasion. ABA training like in these instruction videos is like really bad, old school dog training, if anything like dog training at all

Appreciating the discussion on adopting kids and whether or not you find it okay or right to biologically reproduce and also whether you could handle it. It’s becoming something I have to properly think through now that I’ve found the most incredible human, and think I might be more willing or able to do the biological thing (as I kind of want to) if I’m accommodated, but it’s nice to know that my feelings are highly reflected in yours. I always know where to come if I want my autism to feel validated 💕

I also hate the cat word 🐱 the P one. It’s gross. We need new terms pls

Omigosh number 3 HAD ME!! I absolutely HATE certain textures and might start crying and getting frustrated, even punching and hitting myself out of anger when I can’t get rid of an uncomfortable feeling. Like when I feel itchy, if something is bothering me, jeans, if something is rubbing against my wrist, I just CANNOT DO IT!!!

Diagnosed last year at 48. My dad.. super autistic.. his dad.. also on the team. I've discussed this at length with my therapist and while neither of them has ever been diagnosed the signs are giant, flashing and kinda obvious. My dad battled alcoholism my entire life. My grandpa pretty much lived in his tool garage. He collected license plates (the entire two truck and a workshop size garage had license plates covering the entire outside). If you touched his tools he went bonkers especially if you did it without him knowing cause he KNEW they moved. "Who touched my phillips screwdriver!! It is not where its supposed to be" no matter how hard you tried to put it back exact. He hid his booze in there. My dads sober now and he talks to me about my autism and is on his own starting to wonder about himself. Im letting him find it on his own.

When i was 8 to 9 years old i had severe sleep apnea because my tonsils and adnoids were unusually large and it was apparently blocking my airway (i couldn't breathe at night when sleeping). So i never really achieved good sleep until i had a surgery to get them removed. I remember i had vivid homicidal suicidal 'dreams' because i couldn't breathe. If anyone struggles with these things there is a chance you might have sleep apnea. I remember the doctor telling my mom that i stopped breathing 56 times a MINUTE. Which is really hard to believe 😂

off topic but, does anyone have the name of the app that sponsored her a while ago? It was an organization app that pairs with apple watch, I'm trying to find it

Dang Autism got political 21 years of my life

This is a properly fascinating video btw!

I can't do weed 😅 I get soo anxious and like...overly aware of my existence and then convinced I'll die usually 😅

You have a beautiful brain and a wonderful personality! You brightened my day! 🌞♥️🌹

Sorry that you aren’t feeling well, hopefully it gets better soon.

i know the video isn't about this, and thank you for sharing your side of the story, but if you're talking about loosing a brand deal with the company temu (i couldn't tell for sure that was the word you said, but i think so) please don't support that brand! they are unethical and fast fashion. this isn't the best video on it, but it's one that covers a lot of relevant points regarding it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpmnfJZugrWrp5I&ab_channel=Shelbizleee

Oh, you're still around? We still remember when you chose to be anti-straw fOr tHe tUrTlEs... And yet you also created a Tiktok about "dIeT aBlEiSm". Hopefully youve learnt by now that many disabled people require straws to drink, and some can only safely use disposable ones. People who were older and less conventionally pretty than you have been making all the points you have already make, more articulately... DECADES before. It's deeply unfair that it's taken a cishet skinny blonde to fractionally make autism seem OK.

Disabled children deserve dignity and respect so it not fair to film children during therapy all the time

Parents need to be there and advocate for their child during any therapy and no parents should be filming when their child is upset or stressed they should advocate for child and should not let any therapist make a child uncomfortable

Wow. It is scary how many of these apply to me. One thing I do is to take notes in my phone's notepad app. I always have my phone on me, and it's easier to type something on my phone than it is to find a pen & paper and a surface to write on.

I'm so glad that a video of yours that is not about autism is longer than your average video lengths. Life is about more than our abilities & disabilities.

*core memory unlocked* I remember in highschool at lunch I was sitting with the people who let me hang out with them and they noticed my sister. I said some stupid thing about how none of them better try to date her because brothers are suppose to protect their sisters. Everyone around me went super quiet afterwards. Looking back, I'm pretty sure that was something that was not a normal thing to say. 😅

I middle school i learned what a friend was the hard way, by being betrayed by all my 'friends'

I don't subscribe because i don't like being subscribed to anything😂. Nothing personal.

I played wii mario so much as a kid😂. And i also can't do any of these things

I've always known that ADD and ADHD are common for people that are autistic (i have both)

When i was 9 years old my mom took me to a doctor that diagnosed me (i don't remember what the formal name of the type of doctor they were), and i am very greatful that she did that. I know myself that i have it because i know the traits of it and probably would be able to diagnose myself if i was not already diagnosed

"...I never know what I'm doing, so like don't listen to me ever i never know what I'm doing any of the time." That is one of the most relatable sentences to myself i have ever heard😂

I feel like people cite too many things as racism now

"Autism is genetic"😂 if that was true i would get along great witb everyone in my family all the time

As a guy my long hair getting in my face doesn't bother me enough to want to get a hair cut. I like it

I always clean my room and then the next day it's like "idk how all this got there😂🤔

The way i think about it is that if you care about trying to be a certain way, that is a problem. Just be the best you you can be, that's what I've been realizing in the last few years

I was scared to talk to people when i was a bit younger in school because i was worried they would think i am wierd because i am not good at communication and can't get words out of my head very well. I've had friends in the past that i trusted enough to tell them i was autistic and then their viewpoint negativity changed about me even though i did not change anything about myself. i think that if ppl do not care enough to try to undethtand, then they are not worth your time.
