I was diagnosed with Aspergers about four ys ago and I find this information really good and so relevant. I was misdiagnosed with schizotypal personalty disorder from 2008 until I received my Aspergers diagnosis in 2020, and it was really quite a shock for me to find out that I was treated for the wrong condition for so many years both in psychotherapy and with anti-psychotic medecine, which in fact never helped me any at all. I am struggling a little to forgive the first psychologist I met who laid the foundation of the wrong diagnosis in the first place. But in time, I will try to forget, forgive and let go of this... Thank you so much Mr. Attwood! I am truly and deeply impressed and in awe! May God bless you for all your work and contribution! 😊

he is so amazing ❤

I wish 🙏🏽 Dr Attwood to just make a trip to Africa. Aspies and autistics here are suffering in silence. He can make them identify with themselves and give them at the very least light at the end of a tunnel. When i was young at school i was bullied by both students and teachers it was devastating. I suffered from a lot of confusion and depression, i still remember when for the first time i finished highschool i researched specifically for antidepressants and walked straight into a clinic and ordered them but i was only given to last me one week and i remembered how vivid and colourful everything seemed for the first time in my life. I couldn't believe i wasnt getting angry. My mother is on the npd spectrum and her mood was just very toxic... she was always angry and complaining wanting to micromanage everything i did forcefully and violently. I hated every breath she made, her voice made me angry, her tone...i didn't even accept gifts from her. The control is just another level of torture i can't explain....it made me hateful..and then silently suffered from guilt of hating your own mother. Only music could calm me or in some strange ways candles and lanterns. Whenever i was alone the serene environment could be an atmospheric music and candles..and then feel free from having piece of my mind for the moment.

I'll get back to watching it but after the 5th time you post text that you take down before i can read it I gave up.

Idk if I have autism, but since I’ve started researching it I’ve had so many lightbulbs go off. My life is starting to make sense - and I suddenly quit drinking - I healed the urge to do it! I was a horrible alcoholic for 15 years, but now I’ve suddenly figured out how to regulate my emotions!! Once I learn the reasoning behind my behaviors, I can heal it! This happened as a child when I read about OCD around age 11. By age 13 I had stopped almost all of the OCD behaviors. Idk if I have autism, OCD, or ADHD but maybe just having this knowledge that my mind could be working different than others is helping me to heal.

I have always felt emotions far more intensely than people around me. As a teenager and well into adulthood I've dealt with anxiety and depression, always feeling like the odd one out despite trying desperately to fit in even when doing so was difficult. I don't connect with all of the notes this speaker makes about affection (I enjoy hugs bit other forms of affection are hard for me), but so much of the rest of what he talks about resonates with me, I'm realizing at nearly 33 that many of my problems may come down to possibly being on the autism spectrum. I feel a sense of mourning for the younger me who could have thrived more with better understanding or support for herself...but maybe the things I've learned from this speaker and other sources can help me live out the rest of my life more fully with the tools I've needed for ages.

The laughter is so annoying Shush please I want to understand

Could not agree more, autism is not a disorder nor a syndrome these are very offensive words to an autistic person. Freedom of speech. I can’t but help remark on a comment that Professor Attwood said to the audience at one of his seminars that autistic people can’t differentiate between the word hot…..as in quote to look at or feel hot or cold with the entire audience laughing. As an autistic person to hear this is exceptionally insulting. Of course we know the difference. I hope this message gets back to him. Excellent speech.

Thank you. My beautiful son was traumatised by his years at primary school. He is now in burnout at home. Your advocacy is so important and so appreciated 🙏

“The arts allow them to express their inner self, their experiences and emotions” WOW there it is… this is why I cling to my shows and books and media… I don’t have the words but I can point to characters and scenarios and be like “this it what I’m feeling”. What an important lecture.

I don’t relate to not knowing your own emotions or body-I’m hyper aware of those things

Sally Baker 💛 thank you

Smart guy, could relate to so much of this, I just wished he hadn't yelled into the mic. Someone should edit that out. For those of us wearing ear buds, it is potentially damaging.

Please fix the order of the videos in this playlist so they are in order of play.

Thank you for these videos. My 8 yr old daughter has just been diagnosed. This is very helpful for me to understand what ASD entails.

Yes indeed

Deez nuts

My goodness I am so incredibly glad I was signposted to Dr Attwood by my diagnosing clinical team. I started by reading his ‘Complete Guide to Asperger Syndrome’ and could not believe how autistic nearly every behaviour I had never pegged as being anything other than just… ‘well, I don’t know maybe normal? ‘ was actually completely typical of autism. In the first few minutes of this lecture I was nodding and laughing. This man understands, thank you, because you have enabled me to start learning to have compassion for myself, as well as an unexpected sense of humour where previously there was trauma. Humour and self compassion taking over from trauma… just listen to that and process it for a minute. My utmost respect and gratitude.

Thank you for helping me understand my wife even better.

I was diagnosed at 49. The damage to my mental health has been well and truly done.

Brilliant!❤🙌👏

This is the best video on the internet about how autism presents in women, hands down!! He deserves his flowers. Also one thing that was left out is that boys could have an expression of autism that is more like women, which gets them overlooked & misdiagnosed as well.. there really needs to be more awareness about this and what the whole spectrum of autism actually is instead of the stereotype assumptions that causes misunderstandings & false judgements even by the people who are trying to help.. that evidently just leads to making it worse, things like ABA therapy that shouldn’t have been called a therapy to begin with, it should’ve been called normative behavioral conditioning & societal Neurotypical assimilation treatment.

31:47 omg Centrelink! Work for the damned Dole! Meetings! Phone calls! Job search agencies! Omg I can’t begin to say just how much my anxiety spiked when Tony said this! My job search agency is National and has a call centre thingy to notify them you can’t make an appointment. You’re on hold for a minimum of 40 mins if you’re lucky. Longest for me was an hour and they put me on transfer and the call dropped, so I had to ring again. I feel sick just remembering it! Yes, I get we have to jump through hoops and be very grateful for the money we get but do the hoops really need to vary in size from week to week? Do they really need to be on fire? And does the configuration of them really need to change? Centrelink and associated agencies have been the cause of most of my more memorable public meltdowns. I never leave an encounter with them in a good head space.

25:14 this book was the first I grabbed when I had a total breakdown in life, aged 40, and began self medicating with family blocks of chocolate every night. I cried all the way through. I’m fact I cried a lot even when I wasn’t reading it. I realised I wasn’t broken or defective or worthless or stupid. I was an Aspie. It explained everything!

I had a lightbulb moment when one therapist asked me how long it was between ‘the world is perfect’ to ‘the world is ending’. I looked at her extremely puzzled and asked, ‘there’s a gap in there?’ She nodded and indicated that there should be a gap of some sort. I’ve now got a three second gap. It’s taken years of work to get that gap and it still isn’t enough but it’s a start.

Wow how wonderful to see your life right along side me. Basic simple and free. Not changed by what where supposed to be.

A thing nobody speaks of, it's the less of memory beacause you went on a class twice and it was not nesseccary... just for a trimester it defect my memory.... what we called in France CM2... I don't know the equivalent in englich may be forth ou fifth grade...

All the books you give the title are not a real suprised for me... this books are not only a means to discribe emotion, but also so important to understand social facts....

Oh yes you so right and I'm not autistic, but I know that therapist must be autistic to treat an autist, must be a person who had a period with economical dificulty to treat person with very big social problem, and who knows the frontline to treat veterans! ( in the french army, the psychiitrist go under the fire to understand their patients, it's very important, because compassion is learned by be on the field!

The problem is that most people don't make the diference with autistics persons who are attract by détails and person whoo are atract by general meaning but who go to see details because they avec a huge problem to solve, it's not the same at all! Like someone who doesn't have friends is not necessary a autistic person.... a lot of problem could create such situation!

Ho thanks for that.... it's for so many years that in France I tried to explain that emotions are an alarm system who couldn't be correct when it's a reaction on a very negative situation.... and yes, people don't know their feeling because de society wants them to don't listen to them... it's a catastrophee! Thank you so Much Mr Attwood!

Wow, I’m found here. Amazing. Thank you 🩵

My problem with being asked 'how are you feeling?' is my first thought is 'how do you want me to feel?' because I have learnt over and over again is that I must reflect what others want to be accepted, even in my own family.

This was wonderful to watch. Thank you again

Thank you so much for this video. I am a late diagnosed (at 30) autistic mum of 2 daughters who are 5 and 8. We are struggling because people don’t see what I see. School and kindy refusal, separation anxiety, social and learning issues.

My experience is very similar however it started in juvenile prison in the 1980’s. Prison. Psych wards. Involuntary incarceration. Involuntary medicated. Absolute fear of welfare checks. The power to Shanghai me because I’m overwhelmed. Fuck that.

Neste vídeo, o Dr. Tony Attwood discute os desafios de saúde mental enfrentados por meninas e mulheres autistas. Ele destaca a intensidade das emoções experimentadas por pessoas com autismo, descrevendo como as emoções podem ser avassaladoras e difíceis de regular. Ele também fala sobre a sensibilidade emocional dos autistas em relação aos estados emocionais de outras pessoas, o que pode afetar profundamente seu próprio bem-estar. O Dr. Attwood enfatiza a importância de reconhecer a diferença entre a falta de empatia e a sensibilidade excessiva às emoções dos outros. Além disso, ele destaca como as pessoas com autismo podem usar a arte, música e outras formas de expressão para lidar com suas emoções e comunica a necessidade de compreensão e apoio apropriado para as pessoas com autismo em suas jornadas emocionais.

I’m like this but thought I was an Empath and ADHD and now bi polar 2

It’s kind of neat to feel seen.

Does anyone else cry at the drop of a hat and I don’t mean sad tears I mean happy tears, relieved tears, and tears of empathy.

Set timer on the top left part of the video or is it a setting on my TV that I can control? It’s very distracting.

Im assuming this couls also apply to trans males raised as girls right?
