I've gotten into rock climbing recently, which has been a SUPER fun and engaging hobby that you can actually feel super fast progression with. I also like to do digital music stuff, and this video made me feel inspired. Thanks for the encouragement :)

Sewing plushies is something I really enjoy, it feels easier than sewing clothes and it's just magical to see a cute animal being born from the pattern

I’m so happy KZbin suggested you in my explore page ❤

Love the aesthetic and editing style of this video! It's so cute

yesssss 15:11 my delayed processing can honestly take anywhere from 1-4 years when it comes to relationships, mainly because of my alexithymia and disassociation but once I realized this I've been working a lot on this and im in a better place now

Omg I can't believe you actually posted my bookmark on your yt video 🥺🥲 7:16 I made the middle one ! <3 and it's my pattern and insha'Allah the pattern will be up soon on my yt 💞 @revivinghandcrafts

OMG THE COASTERS!!

21:02 I lucked out on that one. Married my high school sweetheart, and 15 years later we find out we’re both high-masking autistic. Probably explains at least some of why our communication is so good. We’re both pretty blunt, and neither of us assume the other is going to pick up on ‘subtle hints’. So like, we just use our words

12:55 it’s a certain kind of fun when people make this assumption, and ask me for my perspective… and then they get hit by ‘free will doesn’t exist, and there is no meaning to life beyond what we choose to give it’. They’re so disappointed.

Im a autistic woman that received diagnosis as an adult, and when I was younger I identified so much with Summer from “500 days of summer” and I always understood first her side instead of Tom’s side, because that was what happened in many relationships of mine. The boys met me, were amazed that my interests aligned more with male interests. They thought I was the woman of his dreams, but then they discovered that I had difficulty with intimacy and couldn't reciprocate that feeling the way they imagined a girl should feel. So I ended up having to break up and they get mad at me for being heartless or a horrible person.

Thank you so much ❤

Not sure if youtube is bugging out but I can't like your video, very strange. Also, you made a lot of good points in this video, can't believe you have so few views! might be due to bugged likes?? :0

There is also an eating disorder shortened ARFID that is very common in autistic people, and is about having strong more or less fear-based inner reluctance towards some foods. It's not about being childish. Many foods are just too much for many autistics to handle, like for me. Also, we might have strong traumatic past with being forced to eat things we don't want to, which does not help. - For me, there are foods which I can eat, and foods which I cannot. I just throw up immediately if I have to eat something like that. I can force myself to get them down obviously, but that is basically torture.

14:06 MY GOD YES. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and hearing it from you, it really makes me feel seen. The way I was thinking about it, is that I'm feeling like a drug to people. "You are amazing, I never knew someone like you, you're changing my life forever, I've never felt so good/seen/safe/happy/myself with someone" EVERY time I meet someone new. And then, suddently, they go away. Or they fuck up the whole thing so much, I need to distance myself. As if they feel they can be less mindful about the way they are behaving with me, because I'll be "the happy and positive quirky girl" anyways. Now I'm an adult and can defend myself, I learned how to be angry at people and recognize the patterns, but oh how much I suffered to get here. And unfortunately, I still do, because the world is full of assholes ahah. I'm also polyamorous and really sex positive, so I attract a lot of entitled and creepy men

omg kitty in the background at 19:00 is so cute :3

what u said about spencer was intresting. i relate alot to him in my autistic traits and i enjoy that his story has depth and he has flaws and strengths. He becomes a bigger character later but the writers use him as a punching bag often

I love that you include information like that in the video description! Thank you!

congratulations girl ! so happy for ur new accomplishment 💛

I don't think aspiring to be like a manic pixie dream girl is always a bad thing. Maybe I'm biased, but I, as somebody who doesn't know if they're autistic but has several autistic friends who at least believe I'm not neurotypical, always wished growing up that I could be as unapologetically myself as these characters and actually be liked by the people around me. That eventually shifted to simply prioritizing doing what makes me happy and choosing to have faith that people who like who I really am will come on their own, but it is still partly because of MPDG type characters that I decided this was important to me. I won't argue that treating somebody as if they only exist to help you along your own journey the way people do with manic pixie dream girls is deeply dehumanizing and just generally not okay, because that's just a fact. It isn't okay to do that to anybody. I guess I just don't think writing off this character archetype completely is a good thing, because there are legitimately people who are like them and/or see parts of themselves in them. It's the treatment of them, both irl and in the media they appear in, that's really the issue here, and not necessarily the characters themselves. (Side note: I'd also argue that a MPDG character can be an example of what unmasking can do for autistic women. The process itself isn't easy, and the problems of life don't magically disappear, but I think a lot of these characters do show the kind of freedom and ability to advocate for yourself that comes with unmasking, which is a really good thing.)

great video

Hii I'm new and I came here from the leg warmer video and can you please make a tutorial on how to crochet a fluffy sweater (left hand)❤

Donnie was always shown as the tech expert and creative, so having him as Autistic makes sense.

I can not thank you enough. I used this for a frog and toad costume this halloween and it was so perfect!!! <3 <3

For anyone having trouble with the straps like I was, I'm doing 5 dc, chain 2, turn, alternate fpdc and bpdc for 5 not 4 (so 3 fpdc and 2 bpdc) and the result looks better imo. With 4, one side isnt as clean and the strap feels weaker (to me).

In the written pattern you started decreasing at row 39 which doesn't match your video. I'll just go back and start at 29 and see what happens. Thank you for everything <3

What's an eye size hook

WSH TU FILM COMMENT MDR

Once I'm done with my full time internship and have recovered from my several meltdowns during that time imma do those things, thank you for the amazing video!!🫶

And can we talk about how the Manic Pixie Dream Girl has to be stereotypically pretty (I even think of a specific ethnic group) for her to be appealing to the male gaze

Why is Starbucks is ????

I would love to hear from some successful teachers because I’ve been in the game for over 20 years as an ELA for middle and hs and I absolutely hate it!!😂😂😂😂constantly overstimulated, always”on”, always misunderstood….its awful imo…..

Good points! What do you do for a living and do you find that you autism hinders in any way?

this is a great video topic. thanks ☺️

Get a unarmed guard job.

I think the last strap is like a thermal stich but with HDC instead of SC right? Btw loved the video! I'm trying to make the straps for a 100% cotton yarn tote bag and this gave me some ideas to try. Thank you so much!

The turtorial wasnt clear enough for me, so hard tho

We all become characters of ourselves

How about the violence in Ukraine?? Any concern or protest for that? Get real; please keep your low information views out of a crochet tutorial! I’m out, won’t subscribe or like!

3:3something and you got an instant subscriber❤

I was thinking on that trope in a context of disorder but I thought whether it could be a bipolar in manic phase?

These past few years I've gotten really into cozy games. Here are a few Steam games I recommend, based on what you're looking for: - free to play: Alpaca Stacka, At Winter's End, Emily is Away, Hamster Playground, Hidden Lands, I commissioned Some..., Jigsaw Puzzles Infinite, Kings Quest, Mimpi Dreams, Orb Flight, Palia, Ransack Raccoon, Sheepy, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, The Lion's Song, The Sims 4, There's no Socks, Woolop (both Devcats and Mens Sana Interactive have some free ones as well, and some of the idle games are also free) - building: Bubblegum Galaxy, Dorfromantik, Fabledom, Garden Galaxy, Havendock, Islands & Trains, Monterona, Mossfield Origins, Outlanders, Terra Scape, Thronefall, Tiny Glade, Tiny Kingdom, Townframe, Townscaper, Tranquil Isle - cleaning/organizing: A Little to the Left, Assemble with Care, Pieces of the Past, Tell Me Your Story, The August Before, Tidy Backpack, Trash Goblin, Undusted, Unpacking, Urban Jungle (be careful with these if you have either OCD or OCD tendencies, they will either be a great idea or a terrible idea) - color by number: Coloring Game, Coloring Pixels, Colorizing, Love Colors, Nanogram - decoration: Furnish Master, MakeRoom, Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts, Sticky Business - exploration: A Short Hike, Cloudy Valley, Fruitbus, Sky, Stray - farming sims: Coral Island, Fields of Mistria, Palia, Roots of Pacha, Stardew Valley, Wylde Flowers - gardening: Flora Corner, Garden In, Garden Galaxy, The Merry Fairy, Plant Therapy, Tiny Garden, Viridi - hidden objects: Down in Bermuda, Hidden Lands, Hidden Through Time, I commissioned Some..., Summer Paws, There's no Socks, Wind Peaks - idle: Cookie Clicker, Croakoloco, Fishlets, Forager, Mystopia, Nanomon Virtual Pet, Soggy Beans, Time is Honey, Weyrdlets - investigation: Brok the investigator, Duck Detective, Frog Detective, Loco Motive - jigsaw puzzles: Glass Masquerade (there are 3 games in total) has a nice twist on this type of game. If you prefer traditional jigsaw then check out Jigsaw Puzzles Infinite and the Mens Sana Interactive ones - painting: Chicory, Different Strokes, Eastshade, Été, Passpartout - photography: Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, Out and About, Pupperazzi, Season: A letter to the future, TOEM (Dave the Diver also has photography mini-games) - platformers: Duck Tales Remastered, Never Alone, Sheepy - puzzle elements: Behind the Frame, Before Your Eyes, Carto, Projected Dreams, Prose & Codes, Sudocats, Sudokats, The Lilliput Workshop, Townframe - rhythm: Baby Shark: Sing & Swim Party, Melatonin, Onde, Wandersong - games to play absent-mindedly while listening to a video: FAR, House Flipper, Journey, Little Kitty Big City, Minishoot' Adventures, Odd One Out, Tiny Bookshop, Wooloop (builders, color by number, decoration, hidden objects, idle, jigsaw, organizing, painting, and puzzle games are also good for this) - story elements: A Tiny Sticker Tale, Alba, Before Your Eyes, At Winter's End, Emily is Away, Florence, Kings Quest, The Lion's Song - short games: A Short Hike, Assemble with Care, Blanc, FAR, Journey, Ransack Raccoon, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, TOEM - long (or very long) games: Cat Cafe Manager, Cozy Grove, Dave the Diver, Epistory, House Flipper, The Sims 4, The Survivalists, Tiny Life, Wooloop, and all the farming sims Of course both the short games and the long games can become longer if you start buying the DLC. You can check an estimate of any game's length at How Long to Beat I'd also like to once again mention the Devcats games because they are cute and the profits go towards helping cats IRL. Also, the games tend to be either free or really cheap (€5 or less). Note: Before Your Eyes, Never Alone, Lost Worlds, Pine: A Story of Loss, Spindle, and Spiral are all great games, but I wouldn't recommend them to people who get triggered by references to death.

Thank you for talking about Palestine!!! <3 <3 <3

Finallyyy left handed ! 😭😭

THIS!!! to preface i don’t have autism, but i am neurodivergent & some of my traits are closely related to those with autism. in so many dating scenarios i’ve been seen as someone who will bring healing to the other, or i’ve been seen as a concept where ive literally been told to my face that i remind them of a fairy or or that i’m mysterious when in actuality they’ve only taken me at face value & ended the effort there. it’s so frustrating because as soon as they see the not so “fun” traits i would get ghosted or ignored one way or another. it wasn’t until a little over a year after the last time i dated anyone to recognize this trope & how it’s affected the way i’m treated when it comes to not only relationships but friendships as well. it’s an incredibly dehumanizing realization.

hey, really like your videos! I think that given how emotional these topics can be your approach is very measured and mature

This helps so much! Thank you!

Negative? It shows how autistic women are wonderful.

When going into the chain on last half double crochet I notice a larger gap is there a way to fix this gap so doesn’t look bad and more finished. Thatnks
