Hey, Dan, my boyfriend Joel Lane is the same way. When Joel and I video chat, he likes to take crayons and put them in the pot and melt them once they cool down, take his finger and dip his finger in the pot and until the melted crayon is on his finger, roll it around until it gets hard. Sounds weird, but true. Shirts, Joel is the same way. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@bernadetabaniukiewicz9304]

I was married to a man with Asperger syndrome for over 30 years. It was little difficult in the beginning, because I didn't understand his behavior sometimes. You know years ago people weren't diagnosed with it. After I realized what is the problem my life changed ( I think family needs to be educated in this matter) I really had a good marriage . He was sarcastic sometimes. I remember one time I said I think I have some Neanderthal in me ( when studying my genealogy) He said " I knew that for sure. I had fun watching how other people reacted to his sarcasm. It was funny sometimes and I was waiting to see people reaction and really I had fun .He always said what he thought, no mercy. We could talk for hours as we both were interested in similar things. Traveled South America together. I was never bored. He rarely give me complements, but when I worked he always prepared dinner for me and waited , even if it was 4am ( I'm a nurse ) . I really miss him ( he died from leukemia) and I wish we had more wonderful years together. Occasionally he had anxiety. He learned how to deal with it. Usually he took 50 mg of Benadryl and took a nap. No driving after he took that. I can say I had wonderful life with him

Yep that's basically me all the way. I have a hard time slowing down and thinking before I speak or how what I say may affect someone.

I think mine is somewhere in between monsters (Think Digimon for example) and foxes. I didn't even notice until someone jokingly said "blessed be your obsession with foxes".

I hate bright lights and loud noises and very strong smells I can't stand. Whenever me and my family go out to eat I can the same thing every time. Also I like knowing the detail on every single thing. Also I tend to take things too literally. I'm very interested in Legos, DnD, harry potter, also space.

I hate loud noises as well, specifically motors such as blenders, big trucks and whatnot. Besides the very specific interests there also also authistic/artistic interests. Do you happen to have one?

I am on the spectrum and I tend to talk fast. However, I'm from Newfoundland and we regularly talk fast, so fast that we combine words together and leave out syllables.

I'm actually the opposite when it comes to the speed at which I talk. I talk pretty slowly. However, my language skills have proven to be far above average. Of course, that's only the case when I have plenty of time to think it over. It's kind of funny; I'm a great writer, but at what cost? I always overthink it when I'm commenting on something or replying to someone, and I almost never make any errors in my comments/messages, but it takes me a very long time to finally post the comment. When it comes to talking face to face, I'm extremely awkward. It takes me much longer to process what they're saying. I can't even correctly respond on time when someone says "hello" to me, and I usually just awkwardly smile until I figure out what to say. By that point, however, they've already moved on. Here's another gift/curse I have; when it comes to commenting/messaging, I tend to say more than I really need to. I'm sure other people would've just stuck with the first sentence in this comment, but, obviously, I added a lot more.

I don’t have any smell issues. I am horrible with noise. Loud people are infuriating and overwhelming. I make bracelets, but after a few months, I usually stop, and a year later it picks up again (so I’m probably slightly obsessed). I always wear jeans, and a sweatshirt. I have around ten different shirts. I understand sarcasm, and jokes sometimes. I have social anxiety, and people in groups of more than 6 are stressful. People tell me to slow down while talking. I mostly understand you, but it’s barely annoying. I take things WAY too literally.

[@shadowfox933]

I have gotten many shirts for birthdays and the like over the course of time, but I only ever wear about nine or ten of them (and most of those I bought for myself) As far as speaking quickly goes, I usually only have that problem when I'm speaking other languages. And the sounds. Just...no. I got a pair of noise canceling headphones and decided to try them out at a mall, and I finally understood why people liked being there. At 21 years old, I had my first ever decently positive experience at a shopping center. I also have a problem when there are too many things making sound at once, but that's a bit harder to find a solution for

I’ve been diagnosed with aspergers since 2004 and I’m almost 20 years old (DOB 9-7-1999) and your videos are helping me to embrace it. On top of that my girlfriend also has Aspergers and she understands me better than myself too. For a while before I met her and watched this video, I was bullied in High school and college for having this disability. Most of it was physical bullying (ass getting kicked) and mental. I even got kicked out from college for being autistic and it was during my finals so my gpa went from a 2.08 to a 1.3 and they won’t fix it. (In the process of suing them) thank you man for helping me and to even get more information about aspergers so I can help my girlfriend.

Constructive criticism. First I really enjoy your channel. But in the recent ones you are doing alot of "subscribe", "like", "click link below". Its all very distracting. My wife and I were trying to talk about this video after we watched it but forgot some points because we were so distracted by all the advertising you do for your channel. I suggest keep it to the beginning and end. You still get my thumbs up.

Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback!!! I have to compete on the platform to stay afloat so I have to use stuff like that to help my channel growth etc. Sorry if it was annoying.

[@torsch69]

I appreciate you posting this video. Most of these traits describe my daughter, though our doctors have not diagnosed anything. She suffers from severe social anxiety. For instance, she did not want to join a Zoom call with her softball team until I got her to put on a mask, then she was fine. To see her with her friends you would never know this as she gets goofy and is a complete cut up. However, in many social settings, she withdraws and won't vocalize. Yet, she has her own KZbin channel where she makes funny videos. She writes and records rap songs, but she would never perform them in public.

I tend to ruminate over useless topics. For instance, I know a lot about old tube television sets. I used to be obsessed with this model of television set, the Toshiba MD13Q4. It had stereo AV RCA inputs and an orange coaxial jack. I used to spot one every time we went out. They were made from 2000 to 2007, in the United States that is. My problem was, I went to a smelly pet shop and there was a TV like the one I just mentioned. The smell became permanently ingrained into my memory of that type of TV set. When I saw one, it used to gross me out.

Carolyn Lyford Sullivan Thank you for being so self-aware and open minded as to admit you did things wrong. I did too.. my twin boys are 3 yrs old. I’ve learned to forgive myself because a) It seems highly genetic in the sense that I myself have many of their ‘autistic’ traits, and b) It seems highly inherent/genetic in what my boys naturally choose to focus on. So only if I had known their tendencies in advance could I have really helped avoid the downsides (Remember they/I often, maybe even always, have/had special gifts/skills!)... Also I believe that it is never too late to improve unpleasant symptoms; I can see tons of learning or calming potential in the adults with developmental disabilities for whom I work. :) It just gets *harder* to break habits with age/time. If the habits are consistently replaced with more helpful or empowering ones, well, they can mostly disappear. I know this because of myself...

Symptoms I had as a baby/toddler: -Doctors thought I was deaf and then told my parents I had selective hearing (after a few hearing tests where I ignored them) -I wouldn’t respond to my name if I was busy with something or distracted. -I had to have one dummy (pacifier) on each digit and one in my mouth or I wouldn’t sleep, I would cry and scream all night. -I would try to see how toys worked. -I wasn’t interested in other people and would be in my own world. -{toddler/child}- -I wouldn’t talk to people at nursery and I would play by myself instead -If my socks weren’t ‘perfect’ I would just scream and cry ((I deal with this now by wearing my socks inside out)). -I used to talk about dogs ALL THE TIME. I had books about them, would always ask about them and stroke all the ones I saw. -It was as a child I started pinching my lip a lot, I do it especially when I’m nervous (I still do it now). -Also for as long as I can remember I have HATED any type of sauce or anything that smells bad. -{in general now}- -I’m obsessed with ladybirds and dogs (I talk about them a lot and people tell me to stop) -I repeat myself a lot -I’m very intelligent and am great academically -I’m terrible at small talk -I would rather be alone than with a stranger -I always cut labels out my clothes -I get excruciating migraines when it’s too bright/ too loud and have sunglasses to stop that -I can usually see lights flickering and when I point it out people say they can’t see it -I don’t get sarcasm or jokes at all -I struggle with eye contact. -My parents, two best friends with ASD, their parents, and my other friend (who hasn’t got ASD but is dyslexic and has dyscalculia) all think I have autism. My mum says she wants to wait until I’m older for a diagnosis because she doesn’t want me to have a label..

[@nathanthompson9254]

I am told now I have selective hearing. It's not funny but peculiar how I can be paying attention to the best of my knowledge to someone talking to me and then when I reply or repeat what they said, they actually didn't say what I thought I heard, said something totally different, or I completely missed a large section of what was said either at the beginning or end as if it wasn't there at all in the first place. It's scary that this happens.

I had to learn at a very young age how to turn a meltdown into a "shutdown" because it was made very clear by the actions of others that meltdowns would result in punishment. So I would take corner seats in every class I could just in case I couldn't deal with people at any given time. That almost worked, except for the fact that I stopped showing any emotion at all usually, and, as such, me showing my emotions has become a warning of sorts that I'm on the verge of a meltdown

Now after doing this with us for 10 years I realized she was leading us through the Port Authority bus thermal to the right gate for the bus home. Which meant going to the basement level to cross from the south to the north building, then up to the 2nd floor.

It’s extremely frustrating and it’s even harder since I grew up rather isolated and never really opened up about what I was dealing with to any of my family members until now so they just think I’m overthinking or making things up. I have all of the issues and symptoms brought up in this video but they just won’t listen to me.

Even if you had all of the symptoms, please don't say "I HAVE Asperger's", say "I probably have.." or "it's likely that I have..", self-diagnosing is often not a good thing, especially with something as complex as aspergers.

They told me that that wouldn't happen and then one month later they fired me saying that I had cussed at my manager and I don't cuss. Even the places that are supposed to help this community don't listen to the employees who voice a concern. And another job fired me because I asked please don't cuss at me when you talk to me, I don't like cussing. The work place is so discriminating to people on the spectrum. Even the laws of the state that I live in protect the employers and they can get away with firing someone without any explanation. I don't think that that is right.

For years I asumed that explained, well, me, but since I found your channel recently I've been considering Asperger's since it mostly seems to fit and would make way more sense. My family has never been the most supportive, but with the help of my partner and some close friends, now as an adult I'm planning on getting a professional's assesment this holidays!

Got an adult autism diagnosis last week aged 49. It explains so much, especially loud noises, light and heat sensitivity and not maintain relationships.

Daniel your videos are very comforting to watch and to listen too easy to understand autism better with your explanations xx my boyfriend shows signs of autism and aspergers syndrome he misbehaves and goes mad over a changed.routine hard to deal with when his an adult only by watching your videos was able.to understand why he behaves the way he does..

I have to have noise Total silence makes me itch and freak out

[@TheAspieWorld]

Oh that is interesting.

[@moarroz]

Me too but I'm thinking it's a diff disorder not this one btw.

[@moarroz]

It's more ptsd or schizophrenia

[@lesliewyatt4188]

Ok...see this is odd you wrote this. I can go from one end of the spectrum to the opposite so quickly. No kidding.

[@RileyAiC]

Oh me too

Great video, Dan. I have guilty habit of talking too fast - and that's why I had to take ESB exams, but it gave me the confidence to slow my speech down. I didn't get jokes either (and still don't, although, I tend to make jokes around my friends now, hahaha). Keep up with the fan-tab-ulous content. =)

[@TheAspieWorld]

Hey thanks Sez! Yeah it’s interesting when people point out he fast taking part.

[@damarianmcguire4737]

this is totally me I talk so fast that people can’t understand me

[@freyjabeth4372]

Just came across your video's and thank you! My son is just like you and he was diagnosed at 27 with ASD ADHD and OCD, he's 31 now and we as a family understood him much better since, everything fell into place finally. It was so difficult for him and us up to that point, now it's easier and even better for me now I've found your videos. THANK YOU!

wow thank you for making this. i felt understood in a new way and hearing those 10 was as if you were naming my 10 characteristics. I was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago and only about last year I really started understanding what that meant and seeing how so many challenges I went through in my life - I wasn't able to get my friends and family to really understand the overwhelm I felt cuz they can't really understand it the way I felt it. And so it led to me keeping it all to myself and just learning to lose the need of talking to someone as a mean of finding support and comfort. Also in the past year I started learning more about autism and asperg and realizing that I am somewhere over the spectrum and yet haven't really ever talked about it with anyone for the assumption that it would be pointless given that, as with many things from previous experience, they won't really get it, or even know what asperger is all together. moral of the story is thank you. i found comfort relating to all your yada yada yada's.

[@orchidsrising7910]

It’s enjoyable that you talk fast. I find it energetically uplifting... ~a non Aspergers person 💗 to all of you !!

[@TheAspieWorld]

Yay!!!

[@bramdelorijn8460]
