wait so what do you say to the instructor????? and what things do you even talk about

Nice vid

I have to agree with you on this video too. Playing hard to get is stupid and wrong. Doing that to people will only lead people to heartbreak and loneliness to everyone. #sadisticpeoplesuck . If people want to have a relationship with someone you find attractive don’t do that to your partner. It’s best to be honest with your partner in the very beginning of the relationship and all the way through it. And if you don’t know how to feel about your partner and you’re feeling conflicted about dating them tell them you’re not sure if you like them or not and just be friends with them until you know for sure you want to be with them. If they can’t accept that they’re not good people to be around.

I’m an Aspie in his late 20’s now and it’s sad to say I have never had a real girlfriend before in my life. And what really sucks about dating with autism to me is from my experience is that I’m so socially anxious around women I find attractive that I’ve actually developed a social phobia of talking to beautiful women in person called “Caligynephobia” I believe is what it’s called. This fear has haunted me my entire life and it pisses me off that I always felt I had I have to be the guy who makes the first move I literally freeze up every time I try to talk to a woman I find beautiful to me when I see them in person. And I worry the socially awkward way I communicate just scares people off so I basically avoid talking them at all because I’m afraid I’ll make them uncomfortable or bother them the way I communicate and the few times I have had the courage to do so I wrote those crushes I had in life physical letters to their friends I know to let them know I’m interested in them or talk to them online. Other than that I’ve been too afraid to even ask any beautiful woman that’s single if she wants to even be friends with me and date me at all. It frustrates me so much and I wish I could just be able to have the confidence to just communicate my own positive thoughts and feelings I have for a woman I found beautiful in person like everyone else but I can’t do that no matter how hard I try so I just accept that I can’t date the way everyone else does. At least I try my best to find love with the limitations I have in myself.

My question. How do I know if I'm Autistic or just direct? Being from NJ, it's hard to tell at times. We tend to be pretty blunt. I'm 100% serious. 😕

The most relatable video out there 😅

So my biggest problem is actually taking the written test. I can pass that thing with flying colors when it’s not the actual day of taking the test the moment that I get in there to actually take the test it’s like everything runs out of my brain and I no longer know any of what I know that I know, I get so nervous and that’s how it’s always been with me with taking test. I don’t know why I really do want to pass the written part of the test so I can actually you know go on to get my license because I do wanna drive like that is one thing that I really wanna be able to do. I want to be able to own a car and be able to drive places and do thingsby myself, but I just can’t seem to pass the written part of the test

My autistic boyfriend was/is the biggest liar possible. Lie and deny and lie…that’s what he did 😢

Please upgrade mic and detail a script for your videos.

my autistic son lies every other word, and he's 26,.... it infuriates me to no end.

I remember the first lie I ever told when I was little. I was supposed to be washing dishes and instead I wanted to play with making soap bubbles in the sink (I was 5). Anyway I got caught because I had poured like half of the bottle of soap in the sink till the water was blue lol. My step-mom asked "did you waste the soap?" pointing at the blue soapy water. I knew I was going to get spanked with the wooden spoon if I said yes, so I took a gamble and said "no". Big mistake! She forced me to hold a whole soap bar in my mouth for several minutes while I was crying my eyes out while she sneered. I remember the incidents of other times I lied mainly in order to avoid punishments similar to that one, because it feels like I was constantly getting punished for something or another or for the just not meeting her standards doing work well enough and I was afraid of being hit or yelled at or kicked out of the house or sent to my room with no dinner etc. I was always in trouble even if I didn't know why. 🥲

8:51 wait WHAT BUT I WILL CRASH IF I TALK 😢

So I'm like totally all for going with the flow, but an you just let me know in advance where the flow is and at what time? =P

The makeup looks good! I agree about awkwardness on first dates. When the other person is obviously feeling awkward, it puts me at ease =)

BRUH. I just realized I need a PAPER PURGATORY BIN!!! Lady you just made my life palpably less stressful 👉👉 I thank ya for it ^_^b

THANK YOU! AGH!

I love your videos. You're very intelligent and extremely beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤

My special interests are sociobiology, eusociality, astrobiology, human phenotypes, and the human eusocial super organism.

So beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I think ppl need to avoid psychopaths, narcissists, and borderline phenotypes because the they are intraspecies predators. Do the research on phenotypes.

Both my parents are psychopaths. 😭😭😭😭😭 They should be in prison. The laws need to change to protect us. Only an complete idiot abuses a child.

I love your channel 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 You're so lovely 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I like when you mention your cats. I wish you could have cats in your videos.

I like that your cat was biting you. Makes the video much more human and less rote.

Jen is the best! Her group and connecting with her changed my life. 💜

They do exist 😮

Thank you for sharing, top day to you

Not preaching, just want you to know that God loves you. When people let you down and act like, funny or disinterested whether we are ready or not Jesus is coming back.

What a wonderful resource to share. I had not heard of this. I am thinking of getting seeking an ADHD diagnosis, how has medication been for you? Thanks!

Thank you for this very entertaining video and your kind words. You were amazing in the group and offered so much support and insight to others. I really appreciate your endorsement! I do want people to know there is a resource and help available💕

When you say you're bad at lying, what exactly do you mean? What happens when you lie? I'm speaking to you and your autistic audience.

Wonderful video Mackenzie! I love hearing your perspective and questioning social norms. And the set up is great too🙌

Your make up looks beautiful!

Yay!

I'm an Aspie in my mid 50's. I spent the first 45 years of my life depressed, anxious and solitary. I hadn't dated anyone since my early twenties. I met a woman (totally by accident) in my late forties and ended up marrying her. I can honestly say she has saved my life. She isn't ASD but she is tolerant and accomodating. You will find someone and most likely when you least expect it.

How can you appreciate or understand that you suffer from something unless you have experienced life without the infliction? We have ASD from birth so from day one we construct defences/reasons to explain why we struggle where everyone else succeeds. My Psychiatrist once asked me (prior to my ASD diagnosis) if I had trouble focussing? My answer was 'no'. I concentrate very well in fact I focus like a lazer. Several weeks later and after watching many Autism related KZbin videos, I realised I had terrible probems concentratin/focussing. In my answer to my psychologist I was referring to my ability to concentrate on things that interest me as opposed to things that don't, I just did'nt appreciate the subtle difference until I'd watched all of those KZbin videos. I wish I could swap places with a NT for a day and see what it is like.

I wonder how many ASD sufferers have been called 'lazy' during their lives? I bet most. I defy any neurotypical to experience my anxiety, depression and general ASD symptoms and do any different.

Hi AM. 'Executive functions get real fuzzy'. I can really relate to that.

I'm autistic and I rarely bring it up but it's painfully obvious to anybody who spends any amount of time around me. I'm lucky that my job revolves around my special interest and most of the people at my job find interesting too. It's so incredibly hard to reel it in once you've let it out. It could legitimately be called an addiction. I didn't even realize it was a characteristic of autism until I watched a show on Netflix about an autistic lawyer who loves Wales. It brought flashbacks of practically my entire life and every conversation I've had with my mother.

Hi, thank you so much for the video. Good info. Will you share your list of questions you ask yourself in order to prioritize? If not, can you give me a hint of where I can go to develop my own list? If not, that's okay too, your videos are already helpful and I don't want to just demand you do even more work. 😊 Thanks 💖

Thank you for this.

New here… please continue with the tanget!

Not true. I lie, I don't like it and I feel super uncomfortable when I do as if other people already know it's a lie and are going to call bs any moment and crucify me. I don't lie maliciously, just to get out of very uncomfortable situations.

NT dating is fking absurd tho, like just 🙃🙃🙃 why do you guys live like this?

😆😆😆😆😆 Idk that I'd quite consciously realized the differences in dating autistic people vs allistic people, til you did an all-out play-by-play of my last first date 💀💀💀💀💀

Totally can relate to you. The first time I meet a person I want to know the nitty gritty. I have no patience for small talk, I'm immediately 100% vulnerable with everyone.

being able to interact on the fly based on how you feel is a talent
