Hi Anna, same here with the jobs! I think that you have lots of skills and talents that you need to go along with rather than against. I found being extremely frugal gave me some freedom from painful employments! I’m loving your videos 😊

Hello. Have a great day. Thank you for your videos. ❤

Thank you i have adhd and its really hard with sounds, amd social aspects, its so overwhelming.

Thank you for your relaxing video. I don’t have autism but I can totally relate to how you feel cause when I’m out, I can’t wait to get back home. I use to think I was an Introvert, but I think Covid changed that. I can only take so much of ppl and activities. Plus where I live you have to be on guard…always watching your surroundings. The world has/is changing so much around us. I find my home comfortable and safe. Do what you need to, to make yourself okay. ❤ You should share your recipes. The bread looked delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊

Another lovely one. It helps explain why sometimes a situation is doable and then another time it just isn’t! A clinic by me that does assessments does offer post diagnosis support…not cheap. I’m sure there must be some good workbooks out there though. Thank you 🙏

❤ 🏕️ 🏔️ and ☕️

That was beautiful! I had a little handsome brown haired boy too, he’s a big gruff guy now with a beard! 😅

Hi Anna! Thanks for filming this and for sharing your journey. I live in a city that’s also a country (Singapore). I too have a neurodivergent brain :) Since young I’ve longed for a life in nature but suppressed this desire because of cultural and societal conditioning. I thought pursuing a different lifestyle wouldn’t be possible. Took a lot of hard knocks to come to a place of greater acceptance of myself. And then there’s the challenge of learning to live a more independent life and taking baby steps in the direction of my dreams. Your videos show me that this is possible, and what I experience (overwhelmed by city noise and buzz) isn’t unusual. Thank you! ❤

Hi Anna, I found your videos last night, they’ve had a big impact on me. My life has to start anew from today, aged 60, no diagnosis as yet. You write well and you have a good eye, thank you!

My son is autistic, and has taught me so much about life, helped me heal so much ❤

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing!! I love how you word these thoughts and it moved me to hear about your experiences as I´ve felt similar things. Really, I wish you all the best, Love /Astrid

Beautiful & Brave. God Bless You!

Great video! I am 26 right now and waiting to get diagnosed. I've been suspecting being on the spectrum for a while but it took more than 2 years until I finally called. I'm now waiting and will hopefully be able to go into therapy beginning of next year. But since having called I really started looking into it and I think I have both ADHD and autism. Some things click for both but a lot don't click for either until I saw a video of someone explaining the combination and it suddenly clicked. Some parts of your video really clicked with some of my own childhood memories so thanks for that 😊 I really relate to the fear of getting a diagnosis and them telling me I don't have autism I honestly don't know what to do if it happens and I'm scared to imagine the scenario 😅. The same goes for the feeling that why certain things seem to be so hard for me while other people are just able to do them and the imposter syndrome feels so heavy like I'm pretending to function and everyone believes it but deep down I'm just struggling through life everyday. Thank you so much for this video it's definitely helping me in my journey to hopefully getting my diagnosis and then moving through all of that

This was so heartfelt and lovely (great music and editing, btw!) ❤ I'm happy to subscribe, i look forward to seeing more of your journey! Would LOVE to see more of your art 🎨✨

hi anna! i just wanna say i literally have felt the exact same way for years and i couldn’t quite pin down why. these recent couple of months have been tough and as a 20 year old i’m just thinking like what the fuck is wrong with me i should be out there doing normal things and socialising like everyone else. but with coming to terms with my two diagnoses and just realising that i can’t do it exactly the way most people are doing it hit me really hard and it’s been tough. just accepting the fact that i neurologically cannot be “normal” is such an isolating experience and i cannot describe the world of pain it’s brought. fortunately i have a pretty strong feeling i’ll be okay in the long run but it’s really tough rn. thank you for sharing your side of the story. i appreciate people like you, it makes me feel like i’m not in fact insane lol.

I know this feeling exactly. Know that it's not your fault, and it's ok to not be able to participate in capitalism that particular way. You have much more value than just your job.

I had to quit a janitor job that I loved because I had panic attacks every day. I deeply empathise with you. Thank you for making this video.

Hi Anna, thank you so much for sharing this video! I was astonished hearing that you have not done this before. It is such a good, calm and interesting video. I think, I would never be able to do something like this. Looking forward to watch more from you. I would be interested to hear how the journey went to get your diagnosis, but on the other hand it might not help me much, being in Germany. Greetings and best wishes from an undiagnosed 57year old woman from Germany 🎭

Hey Anna, I am 10 years younger than you, studied to become a scientist with many ups and (mainly) downs in that process and currently in asd diagnosis and I think it is increadibly strong what you did by making this video (or in front of yourself). Standing there saying I do not know how I am going to continue (also financially) and this mind& body cant be pressed any further.. doesn't exclude eachother. And it takes immense strength in the world we live in. Thank you

Thank you so much for this incrediblely interesting, raw video! I am in awe, it must have been really hard to make for you. 💝 I belive I am a highly sensitive person, not diagnosed. As a child i was not cared for accurately, emotional neglect i guess, but my family did not underatand what i needed, no fault on their side. I was bullied in school often until I fantasized of being dead, for a decade. Imagine a teen doing that, how can you seem "normal" to the outside, but i did try. I did not know how to get help, i did not trust anyone. For the longest time after I suppressed so much of me until i became dead inside, just to function. 46 now and finally after some years of therapy to step up and live i do feel much better. I wish you so incredibly much good in your life!! Very keen on seeing more videos from you! Greetings from Austria!
