Hope it's been going well for you. There is so much weight loss content out there, and so much of it crap for us autistic folks. I appreciated Dana Anderson's take on it, although it was more commiseration than advice.

@EliJahTebbens Hey, thank you for watching ☺️ it is going fairly well. I have been losing but not really feeling much better.. I will do a video update on this soon. Life has been quite overwhelming lately, so I've not managed to get posted in a few weeks 😅 I will definitely have a look for Dana's video, thank you 😊

@eyupnelАй бұрын
@wadehamlin still pretty wobbly as my thigh still hasn't woken up, so it's like my leg has a mind of its own sometimes! I ended up getting some crutches with better hand and wrist support, which definitely helps, though ☺️

Those who are weird are those who choose not to understand and judge simply by what they see. Neurodivergent people are no less human, and we should love our fellow humans rather than hate them because they are not the same as them. If we were all perfect, we'd all be billionaires, working a 2 day week... if only!

i am looking forward for the next episode. For sound issues I am hypersensitive + hyperacusis . For light issues : It is usually enough to look toward ground for me. For touch issues: I (not literally)jump several steps away from light touch. For food issues: All my teenage years I could not eat boiled potatoes and life-time enemy are mushrooms because of texture and weird smell. I cough from parfumes when it comes to olfactory/smell issues.

I use white noise generator to suppress the constant noise .. I live in a big and densely populated city and to be honest, I hate it.. Unfortunately with my engineering profession, I need industry to work and make money. If I can, would go to the quiet countryside for sure.

This is one of the reasons I hate to change jobs and remain too late on them even if other people will be long gone. I see myself in all of the points. p.s. Trike ?

I think once education is over, there is definitely less of a "need" for diagnosis as there is no help for adults (not where I live anyway). However, it seems to be the case that it is much easier for your children to get diagnosis if the parent is diagnosed and it is really beneficial throughout school as they can apply for extra help etc to support the child. I also re entered education as an adult, and the difference in support is outstanding. People definitely care, though! If something is important to you then it is important 💕 if its not then that's cool too 😁

1:00 It can be an opinion because lots of research and articles are geared towards children. And I have my theory that your autistic traits in childhood do not disappear but they "evolve" into adult presentation and therefore people stop to see the known presentation and can think because of it that autism is only in children
@tomasvoldrich3 ай бұрын
6:20 I think that it stems from the thought that autistic traits are human traits. People that say this I think are not aware that they relate to you as human and not as autistic person. I think the "train of thought" goes like this: Oh, I am human too, I see this behaviour in myself too and if you are autistic therefore I am a little bit too. But they mix up being human and having autistic brain

Autism isn't any kind of illness. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder 😁 you can't cure or treat it in the same way you may be able to do with an "illness". I hope this helps!

@@eyupnel it is a mental illness that is a mental disorder. You can't cure depression or anxiety either. You can take medication to combat them but they require constant attention, some more than others, just like autism. "Mental illness" is the generic term for abnormalities in a person's mental behavior. They're all actually classified as disorders.

@@poetbrained9408some people can be cured of anxiety or depression. I myself have been. it CAN go away for plenty of people after a long time of treatment. autism can never be "cured". autism does have many aspects to it that negatively impact a persons life, but there are also positive ones. there are no positive aspects of mental illnesses (Eg. anxiety and depression). autism IS a mental disorder, but it is not an illness. how people can not fathom the difference is beyond me.

What helps me with sound hypersensitivity and hyperacusis is food supplement L-tryptophan. Yes, loud sounds are still loud but long exposure to them is not causing me sensory overload symptoms like going my skin pale, fast heartbeat, hot ears or irritability and overall feeling of "soon i will go crazy" . I use it twice a day. The first time i used it , it felt like magic.... not sure if it has universal effect for everyone but it is worth trying if you cannot work with headphones. 👍

Have you ever had a problem with perceiving your voice volume ? In elementary school i though i speak loud enough and i was afraid to raise my voice to not to shout. And i was actually whispering and teacher did not understand me. Some time ago in my job i thought i speak at normal volume to shift manager to explain something in hurry but i was actually shouting at her 🤐.

Yes, I still struggle with this. Usually, far too quiet, my partner will often say I can't hear you or something to that effect 😂 I also struggle with too fast or slow. If I'm trying to get a lot of information out, I'll speak too fast and trip over my words. These videos have actually been quite helpful in that I get to hear how I sound. I'm perhaps a little slow in the videos, but it's a definite improvement 😁
