The dots on your shirt is trippy to watch, can't focus on what you say.

Are you trying to give me one with all the spinning?

ok but now i have to remember that i need to write them down and good luck with that

Oh... Oh no. Oh shit.

This just describes the most stereotypical forms of autism. Not the doc's fault though - the DSM is not fit for purpose

Is there an affordable way for an adult to be tested for this? I know I'm a weirdo already, I just wanna know if autism is part of the reason.

While the socializing component of ASD is quite common, another common trait of autistic people is their sensory profile. that varies depending on the persons hypo or hyper sensitivities.

I hate how this information is presented in a manner that implies, autistic people can't learn these things.

Other mental illness can mimic this, like social anxiety disorder, shizoaffective disorder, etc

I think my supervisor is 😮

I think my bf have autism

this is literally me. i learned how to mask and hide myself to fit in and not seem "weird" but i feel that i still come off as weird and have never been able to keep friendships :(

Thanks I liked the video. I think im doing some of these things already. Learning to do number 3 more, do i don't get burned out. Your window was nice but very distracting for me. 😅 I kept looking out the window. Right before step 3 I saw a guy walking by on the other side of the lake. Then a little later i Ring's in the water. Must have been a fish 🐟 or a bug 🪲 😂

So I just said all 3, am I autistic 😮?

Whelp, I'm not autistic. I'm just a jerk... 😅

"They"?? Immediately no

I don’t agree. My son was diagnosed with Autism one and he can pick up on social cues and he understands his emotions. Sometimes, when I have cried, he doesn’t understand why I’m crying and he feels awkward and you can tell that However, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have empathy and doesn’t understand that I’m sad. This is an oversimplification of autism and a disservice to those who are seeking help. This should be changed or taken down.

I dont show ot but i definitely have aitsim

I don’t know why but I have a panic attack all the time especially when I have to leave family I can’t breathe and I can’t talk is this a concern and should I get any medical help or ask a pharmacy ❤

What about feeling frozen and struggling to fully open your eyelids? Thoughts of suicide?

i’m not on the spectrum but i’m definitely a bit different from most others and introverted. in social situations, i’ve always gravitated towards ppl on the spectrum because i felt like we could be alone together if that makes sense ❤

I have high functioning autism I was just diagnosed a year ago year’s prior I had a series of bad mental breakdowns and after that I just felt like my masking didn’t work no matter how hard I try and even now I cant present myself as normal and the more I do I push myself into a shutdown or a meltdown. Do you know if there is a way I can mask without it being damaging to me? I just miss being able to be included at the very least in social situations even tho I don’t enjoy it for some reason I still crave wanting friends and a social life.

Bruh is this real ?

some autistic people can also be overly attuned to bodylanguage and react to that instead of indirect verbal cues or social expectations.

We just talked about this yesterday! Your videos are really good.

Its hard to know when youre masking so much, it puts you into a state of denial. My mom was telling me stories of when i was little and the stars have aligned

That sound exactly like me

So autism can be a choice?

Crazy background music I could take in the info for the jazz ???

Well I’m pretty sure it’s more like you either have issues with socializing, or you socialize excessively. But there is a middle, or a back in forth too probably

Not a supposed psych provider pretending that you can convince yourself to be happy/teaching toxic positivity. Yikes on bikes.

I must autistic..i hate smal talk, i dont pay attention to people unless I need to and I have resting bitch face and I have 2 friends b/c alot of people are miserable and jealous!! Yup, im on the spectrum!!😅

So if you're anti social you're autisme... Great

I think those things can be masked so well from years of hiding and trying to be "normal " that it has become part of that person's perceived character.

I am autistic. I was diagnosed at 28. I spent so much time learning to communicate and speak, and how to have “normal” social interactions, that I feel like I wouldn’t “meet” the requirements for the social interactions criteria now. But I did and have been figuring stuff out from the lens of being a late diagnosis autistic person. It’s helped me coach my oldest daughter who is also autistic.

the video started with "you" and swichted to "they" im confused. are you still talking about the person who thinks have autism or the person interacting with the maybe autistic person ?

everyone pretending to be autistic and invalidating my horrible life experiences for the sake of social rep is an even bigger mockery

All these traits he talks about can be hidden by skilled masking, as far as I'm concerned.

Seems to me that ti be labelled auristic is being complimented. Autistic people are not sly

You look like Niles

I just realized i have autism no wonder I always struggled with interacting

Just had to make sure- (i do :D )

Even my mother said I was probably autistic (and she worked at a special needs school)

I think the fact that my mother was so emotional shut down due to her own CPTSD affected me in the area of knowing how to social connect and have healthy relationships. I do not think that means I was autistic- I was unintentionally emotionally neglected so that part of my development lagged and did not develop as it should have. But it was merely trauma based.

My son always has an expression that looks suspicious.

lol the irony is that I can't tell if anyone else is doing any of the things listed, because I'm autistic

Yea I'm odd🤣...this fits me to a T

They'll tell you? It feels like veganism these days. I'm very likely on the spectrum myself, but after witnessing a kid around 10 earlier today screeching and slapping himself in a carpark, well, the 'tism is strong in that kid. Made me wonder if that behaviour is autism, or just lacklustre discipline, because his parents who were present did nothing. They appeared to just accept it and seemed put out, like they still have a decade of that to go, perhaps more. I wonder if they initially attempted correction, but once a diagnosis was given, they stopped trying to correct what is clearly inappropriate behaviour, and thus we risk that behaviour as an adult. As if we don't already have adults behaving that way these days.
