I will not drink out of a jar type glass - hate them! They have the rings at the top for a screw on lid - UGH!!

My boyfriend has Asperger... and I suspect I am also on the spectrum... doesn't seem very romantic when we're on the couch next to eachother busy with our specific interests, but it feels good... we also have joined specific interests, like playing pool

I’m autistic, and I definitely do not like true crime or horror movies, I hate them 😳 They terrify me and it feels like they are bad for my psyche. I suppose I do not have this particular trait

My son stands in the kitchen and rocks all day looking at his phone. It's ASMR for me and if I stare at him long enough I knock out.

There is so much I would like to say, but lucky you, I can't type as fast as I can talk. I always have two drinks on the go, one, hot one cold. A lovely collection of photos of shoes. I buy pens in bulk so when my favorite runs out I always have another favorite waiting in the box. This also helps to ease that pen anxiety. Thanks for the great videos. !

I'm watching on my android phone.

I'm extremely hypersensitive to criticism, take on other's sadness and am generally empathetic toward everyone. On the other end, I have basically no feelings in my body. Never have. I've also had life-long insomnia, sometimes lasting for several days at a time. I now take a sleeping pill, and I could not live without it. I may also be one of the most knowledgeable people with regard to Margaret Beaufort. History is my addiction.

You should be more precise about the fact that men and women on the autistic spectrum are quiet different in termes of signs and behaviours.😉 I know that because I am a 49 years old woman on the spectrum 😉

I always keep with me a Gatorade (or Pedialyte); a bottle of water and a; diet coke 🤦🏼‍♀️ never knew this was a thing... Like, I knew my adhd caused me to keep multiple waters or have empty diet coke cans still on the scene 👀 but the three different specific drinks actually make sense.. My diet coke is my self soother, it's familiar and fun. My water is my safety drink. I can never go wrong drinking water! And my Pedialyte/Gatorade is because I'm awful about drinking more water than soda 🙃🤦🏼‍♀️ sooo it helps me to make sure I don't get dehydrated without realizing it 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 [I take adhd meds along with other medications that cause me to dehydrate easily - plus I live in SW FL 👀😅]

I’ve seen that a million times. But I always assumed everyone could see it.

No such thing as unnecessarily long words! Words are wonderful, they convey a precise meaning. It's other people who call them unnecessary, but maybe they don't have as much to say or convey, eh?

Hyposensitivity example would be driving with loud music, but being stressed with sensory overload, as I'm awful with road rage (mountain roads in France are terrible, plus the wild west mentality of disrespecting the highway code). I get hyperactive, and don't sleep, but still function, which is mind blowing for myself. I don't know how it's possible Dan. I lived in North London and North Wales, and since August 2010, South West France, and because I'm bilingual in English and French by this point, my manner of English expression is more formal than it once was. Some people claim my English accent at times resembles the SW England accent (Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset), when I never lived in SW England. As for being sad over a dead fountain pen, the same happens to me with mobile phones, tablets or laptops. If they get lost, stolen, or break, due to planned obsolescence/durability issues, I get so sad. My old mobile phone, that was a cheap Doro knock off, was so great, I didn't want to upgrade it, despite updating problems (end of warranty). 6PM last Easter Monday, I'm listening to podcasts. It runs suddenly unusually slow. I pair my Bluetooth noise cancelling JVC headphones, and suddenly, cannot remote control volume of the sound settings. I try to use the physical buttons on the side of my phone to regain control. Not responding. I tap the screen to slide down the volume. Not working. I input my PIN. Logged back in. I went to change the podcast. Not responding, and the app kept on freezing and responding later. Held my power button down to emergency stop my phone. Phone dies. I was so upset, because I didn't want to change my phone. In the end, I had no choice. I had to upgrade my phone and I love my new phone. I speak too fast when my emotions get overloaded. My special interests are limited too! My obscure interest is watching enhanced computer generated graphics on social media. I'm obsessed with the BBC graphics, because they're mindblowing. I can work under huge pressure too!!! At the moment, meeting therapy deadlines are hard, as I'd like to quickly enroll into local authority employment support programmes, due to 2020's funk derailing my emotional stability, after graduating during lockdown. P.S: I'm putting my cleaning off, all weekend, due to shutdowns amd burnouts

I pad.

I use coconut oil to lubricate office chair, wobbly CPU fan, any noisy fan, skateboard bearings, door hinges, my hair, skin, dog noses, etc. I use an old toothbrush and melt the coconut oil with a metal spoon over the stove to apply the oil on hinges. I use apple cider vinegar to clean my hands, mouse, keyboard, arm pits, scalp, face, kitchen appliances, bathroom, oxidation, etc. I like that I can eat the products and they come in ecologically friendly glass bottles and metal caps. I even saved a cat with an upper respiratory infection with 1 cap of apple cider vinegar mixed in her water. My friend called the apple cider vinegar "holy water" after I had him reduce the inflammation on his abscess he debreeded. Apple cider vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of 3.2 and is outperformed in dishwashing by the weaker citric acid at pH 3.4 due to citric acid's ability to be more readily dissociated in water. Coke-a-cola has a pH of 2.6 and it can clear a phytobezoar!

Nor was he a founder?A tesla?Nor was he a founder, a spacex. He stole them

He was not a founder of paypal

This video is so great because it is true. I do not dare to say anybody if have Asperger, because un-educated people then rather think I am like rainman, rather than my IQ is about 130. * So I think only a stupid or sadistic guy had put Asperger to into Autism umbrella. Do you mind me redoing your excellent video in German?

I was bullied a lot when I was young, and I have more male than female friends, because that is so much easier

I was able to create a virtual reality representation of how I see the world around me, in regards to struggling to manage complex transitions. This helped my psychologist understand the behind the scenes of how things need to be structured. Although the virtual reality replica was slightly imprecise, it was literally almost spot on with the visual representation I was trying to illustrate. What was mind blowing, was being able to project the diagram onto my wall, thanks to my projector, and having a projector is a game changer on the spectrum. Projectors can enhance your living space, and bring VR, without wearing sensory triggering goggles

8:47 Oh gosh, this is sooo relatable! I have a strange hobby of taking pictures with abandoned potatoes. Sometimes i just go for a walk and see a potato laying on a ground, and i feel so sad about her, and i take a picture! If a got a dollar for an every photo i ever made i'd have 6. Not a lot, but still kinda vierd i guess...

I sniff my hands all the time. I have to catch myself sometimes, in case heavy metals from the periodic table are on my hands, or harmful pathogens. I oddly only like eating out of bowls most of the time, and I love sports bottles, due to the spout resembling a sippie cup spout. I drink quite a bit of tea as well! Right now, it's just water, as sensory overload is a pain in the neck at the moment, especially with unusually mild weather in France. I also hate UV neon lights. Some kids play areas would freak me out when I was younger. Fly zappers, like in the caravan of A Bug's Life, or the '90s BBC Two ident freak me out. Public restrooms, with UV lighting, which exists in North Wales by the way, freaks me out. If my future baby is admitted to NICU like myself, I won't be able to enter the ward. The UV neon lighting spooks me!!!

That's why I buy expensive mechanical pencils so I don't have to throw them away, bonus I can erase mistakes and be more accurate.

I remember working with a Greek man and it is cultural for him to stand “too close” when facing me and talking, but it is a difference in our culture. I had to resist backing up because I didn’t want to be rude

Its hard for me to understand peoples words and intentions and facial expressions too😓

Errrrm honestly most of what you described are symptoms of adhd not autism necessarily

I'm from Texas. Every since my grandson was born i have felt he was on the spectrum. He walked on his tippy toes when he started walking and I could just see different little things. He is 15 now and he has the obsessive interests. Just happy it's noblonger wrestling lol He lacks social skills and doesnt do well in many social situations. If he becomes upset he pulls his hair out leaving bald spots. He can't eat lunch at school because he can't stand the sounds other kids make when eating. The problem I have is trying to get my daughter to see it. I just know that with some behavioral modifications he could do so much better and I believe be much happier. Maybe I'm wrong and he's not on the spectrum but what if I'm right. He's 15 now and I just think it's important for it to be addressed. Your thoughts?

OMS! I had no idea about the attachment to objects! I get criticism on this very often. I have, since I was young! I had never heard this one! I was ecstatic when I heard about this! ...the taking far too!

Thanks so much!!

Tablet

Holy moly ........i cannot watch tv and yes absolutely relate to the pen and actually once a roll of toilet roll which only came out when the other stuff went done 😢was super sad when the emergency roll went and i used to copy what othr people done with arms at school like asembly or quoid or scool photos ooooft its so clear to me even when looking at the old picz

Does Asperger's cause Nazi salute

The only way for me to stay focused on anything is to have it on 1,5 or 2 times the speed. I have also lost all ability to read and stsy focus, so if I get things read to me I'll ignore it or copy it to Word. It's like my brain has stopped braining after 35. 😅 My son is autistic (level 2) and his teacher talked about tornadoes once in school now my son know a lot about tornadoes 😅. He also has verbal dyslexia and all over a hard time talking so instead of practising with the boring words we should be practising with, I talk a lot with him about tornadoes. I have learned a lot about tornadoes and my son gladly "practice" since we are talking about something he really likes. Winwin gor both of us 😁

Did you hear voice at night

I have observed what you're talking about in my 24 year old daughter.As a family member understanding makes a whole world of difference in relationship. As always, Thanks

I have object attachment. Even old bits of tissue in my coat pocket are treasured. Also, my sister laughs every time we eat together because she says I DO NOT know how to use my knife. I don’t cut, I tear the food apart. Always have done. I love electricity pylons and power stations and have lots of photos and paintings of them.

My cell phone

I hate being paid by the hour because I'm SO FAST

iPad!

Love the glasses and blanket. I have Autism and ADHD and so hard to slow down when talking about my passions. 😂❤

YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!

yes

South Africa

Fabric definitely creeps me out. I'm from San Angelo, TX

Great video! BTW, have you been watching me? You hit every single obscure thing that I do! 😄

Mobile phone

I really get the pen attachment thing!😂

I don't rock often but I cricket (rub my feet together ) all the time. Like ALL the time. Ppl mention it constantly. I can't help it. Its just so soothing. Funny thing is, most of my boyfriends thought it was cute because they thought that meant I was happy or comfortable. But most of the time I was upset or uncomfortable. Sometimes I do it without realizing it while watching a movie or something. I'd try to explain but they would just call me crazy. You know, b*tches be crazy. (sarcasm) 🙄 Also I can't stand flickering lights like strobe lights but my big one is smells. I wear an essential oil diffuser around my neck to mask unpleasant smells.

I am 64 but people always think I am in my early 50's. I get strange looks when I mention retiring soon😂
