No plants were harmed in the making of this video

[@spherelance72]

If the plants ever rise up I'm sticking with you! 🤣

[@katedhotman9282]

hahahaha why does your plant keep making that sound?

[@remmirath42]

I love how you feature your team in a video instead of just saying "I employed some people" like most youtubers do 😊

[@Gilgwathir]

Welcome back Sam! While you were gone, you kind of changed my life. My whole life I was always the odd one out and everything seemed to take more energy and effort for me, than it took for others. I'm 30 now, and I stumbled across your channel about 4 months ago, and so many things just started to make sense. I'm waiting for my first session in my diagnosis process now. It's a bit intimidating because I know there's a lot of work waiting for me. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@elizabethbennet4791]

if one more person tells me "it's easy!" i'm going to punch their fucking face

[@ACottageGirl]

You are amazeballs, and I’ve never resonated so much with a person. You are the ‘me’ i was 15 years ago… or more…or less because I have no concept of time and I am apparently amazeballs at run on sentences. At age 55, I am deep into putting the puzzle pieces of my life together after 2 people mentioned I may want to look into autism and adhd. Menopause has been the driver as up until now, my estrogen helped me white knuckle and mask my way thru a confusing,too often overwhelming life. Now that estrogen has left the building, I’m left with out of control manifestations that feel familiar but scary. Humor and toast help. And lovely folks like yourself who share this incredible journey of self discovery and acceptance. Thank you muchly.

[@WalesBitcoin]

Got my ASD diagnosis last week, after spending 18 months on the waiting list in the UK. Over 30 years of confusing situations and struggling to fit in now with a reason. Thank you for all your videos. They've been a massive help. 👏

[@shnn1a]

Also the comparison of starting ADHD meds to a bad roommate is the perfect way to describe it. Thank you for that

[@luikero445]

I like how you apologized to the plant haha

[@mickduggan9666]

So does P.T.S.D. stand for Plants Tormented [by] Sam Daily ? 😄

[@irisl7817]

This was one of the best 100k celebration videos that I've ever watched. Originally I stumbled on your channel some time in late in 2019 just prior to my ADHD assessment and diagnosis. KZbin recommended it and I related so much to what you were talking about that I started questioning so much that happened in my past and childhood. I'm glad you made it to the other side of your trauma and that your family is doing better now. I look forward to seeing your new content and getting your workbook! I'll probably also be getting that cookbook too.

[@Woug]

Thank you, Anna and Nadia

[@MaiseNow]

Congrats on the milestones, Sam! It's obvious you've worked hard on your end to get here, and the quality of your videos and content shows it.

[@megaady36]

Oh the work book is a brilliant idea. One of your videos a couple of years ago was my first "oh crap I think i'm autistic" moment, following an official diagnosis i was definitely in the ok now what do i do place for over a year. Trying to work out what is or isn't a trait was a nightmare because from my point of view it's just how I function. Congrats on the now 122k subs and glad you will be able to make more content again.

[@brimarie4196]

I'm so happy that your channel has gone on to employ other autistic adults! Also Luna is so cute 🥺.

[@meredithf.1022]

Welcome back Sam! It's lovely to meet Ana and Nadia. ☺️ Can't wait for the workbook!

[@zombiekatje]

Congrats on 100k! Your little team is awesome! Your channel was one of the most helpful source of information about autism when I started to learn about it almost 2 years ago. And now I am officialy diagnosed for almost 5 months and it has changed so much for me. I am so grateful for all of your videos.

[@sammgemm]

I remember watching you at first trying to learn to understand my autistic ex-partner years back when I thought I was NT... And now I'm still here after being diagnosed with ASD as of November 2020. 😅 so happy to see how much you have grown. You're a wonderful sweet soul.

[@maryalicesawesomevids]

Congrats on 100k you deserve it ❤

[@erikavaleries]

Congratulations 👍 on 100K! Thanks to you three & welcome Nadia & Anna! 💗❤️💝

[@prf76]

Congratulations on your 100k subscribers Sam, thoroughly deserved. Your channel was the first one I started watching regularly about autism once I realised I may have ASD and helped make sense of an awful lot of things, so thank you for building your channel. I’m seeing my GP again tomorrow as she’s got some paperwork for me to go through with her from the clinic I’ve asked to be referred to so the wheels are turning for me.

[@annbrady6212]

You are so cute! You apologized to the plant every time you bumped it! Love it! Also, I can't wait for the workbook. Congrats on getting the tiny humans out of the house for short periods of time. I love my kids intensely, but when they were small (MANY years ago) I found it much easier to give them love when I'd had a few minutes alone to recharge. I also enjoyed getting a chance to meet your behind-the-scenes collaborators. Keep up the good work!

[@awabia]

Your channel made (and continues to make) such a huge impact in my journey with neurodivergence. Thank you for all that you do and especially for helping employ other ND people

[@lf809]

Glad to see you back and as Buffy is one of my obsessions you are welcome to reference it often.

[@GemstoneCat]

Not me watching you on my TV, grabbing my phone to check for a link to buy the book 😆

[@lorisinclairminor]

I recently discovered your channel in my journey to discovering and navigating autism and adhd. I’ve watched most of your past content so much of it is so spot-on relatable. I appreciate you for the work you’re doing and congrats!

[@dekidecay]

Thanks so much Sam - your videos have taught me loads and helped me in so many ways (while making me laugh) over the last 6 months. Great to have you back 🤩Thank you thank you thank you Sam, Ana and Nadia! (Luna too just coz) X

[@sueannevangalen5186]

Thank you Sam, Anna and Nadia for all your hard work. This channel has been an important part of my journey to discovering that I'm autistic (assessment coming up in the New Year). I am super excited about all three of those books. And here's to another 100K subscribers 🥳

[@phoenixrichter1397]

Hey i know that person! 😅 congrats Sam and hi Ana!

[@princesspiranha]

Thank you, Anna and Nadia! And congratulations on the milestone, Sam :)! My autism diagnosis actually got debunked, we didn't have enough proof of traits in my childhood years. Me and my family just couldn't really remember how I was as a kid, I kept so much to myself and tried to adjust to what was needed. (And we all don't have fantastic memory of past details so that's quite an issue with the assesment haha) There were lots of traits as how I am now though. (30 years old) But your video's (and from other channels or blogpost!) really helped me with getting to know what autism is. So eventhough my official diagnosis got debunked, I still know a 100% sure I'm autistic! It took a bit of time to find my peace with it this way. It helped me a lot to NOT be so tough on myself and listen to what I need. I don't need to do be able to do everything somebody else does, everyone works differently!

[@charliec2960]

Is that 'the' Nadia, the ASD TikToker?? She is incredible! I'd recognise that voice anywhere. I highly recommend checking out her video where she highlights an ASDers inner monologue. It's brilliant. (Also Sam, amazing hair!). Happy 100k!

[@marie-claudeblouin1129]

Congrats on 100+K, and welcome Ana and Nadia 😊

[@camclark7046]

Welcome back and major congrats on the 100K milestone! I only discovered your channel over the summer after I realized that I just might be autistic, and I needed to learn as much as possible about ASD as quickly as possible for my own satisfaction. New special interset! This channel is the first one I discovered on KZbin. So, thank you so much for the content you've posted over the years - it has been incredibly helpful to me as I've started this journey of personal discovery. What I've learned over the past few months, is yes I am most definitely autisitc. And that understanding explains so many of the struggles in my life. Looking forward to seeing your workbook out.

[@aut1976]

Welcome back Sam. It is great that you been able to employ two VA's. Keep up the good work.

[@rawtism8384]

thanks Ana and Nadia! Also, the workbook sounds like exactly the kind of thing I would benefit from at the moment

[@cassisbrook]

Well done! Congratulations on the 100K! 🎉 🎉

[@chrissytamulis1755]

I can't stop laughing every time the plant gets booped. I'm crying! Anyway, thanks for all of your hard work to help make sense of life for so many people. like me.

[@arasharfa]

thank you for taking time off and being good to yourself. we all care about your well being, thank you for everything this channel has done for us. I hope you never have a moment of doubt over what you do.

[@lilylolly8757]

I have Joe’s book-bought a copy for my 12 year old son and a copy for his school. I was dead chuffed when I was flicking through the pages and saw your name! It’s a fab book.

[@adrenaline328]

Congrats 🎉 Glad you took the time you needed and now we have more of your content to look forward to. What - book club?! Very cool to meet Ana and Nadia. Thank you and thanks Sam! Glad you hired ND assistants - so appropriate!

[@rosea570]

Great to see you back! Glad that life has calmed down a little for you.

[@michelelong5891]

Glad to see you again! Hope the kids are doing well as well as you & Husband. I was recently diagnosed thanks to your encouragement! Can I suggest an idea for future video; ASD misdiagnosed as other DSM diagnoses , esp Borderline or avoidant personality. Thanks

[@helenayamez]

I'm glad you've been taking care of yourself Sam. It's so good to see you back, your channel has really helped me & I'm really looking forward to your workbook. It's exactly what I need 🙏💗

[@whitneymason406]

Congratulations! 🎉🎊🥳👏

[@justuscrickets]

Welcome back, Sam! And Olá a Brasileira Ana, love your perspective! ☺️ Lovely to (virtually) meet you, too, Nadia!

[@gregormcabery5485]

Aaaww, cute kitten;) Thanks to all the team

[@mar.morita]

I'm autistic and ADHD from Brazil too! Thanks Ana and Nadia and congratulations on the 100k 🎉

[@clarelizzies]

I can not wait for the workbook! I have just dipped my toe and had my gp appointment who agreed to refer me, now I wait. Thank you Sam for showing me that my neurodivergence is not just me sucking at life. Xxx

[@DaveToneMusic]

Thanks Sam. Welcome back and congrats on your 100(and 22)k milestone. Well deserved. Nice to meet Ana and Nadia too. That popping sound when you were hitting the leaves was driving me into meltdown though.🤪

[@followyourdreams6050]

Excited for your book to come out

[@ShamuManta]

Thank you Anna! Thank you Nadia! and congratulations to all of you!

[@vallentinac9513]

sooo excited for the workbook!

[@superstacyrenee1]

Congratulations

[@bob_._.]

Congratulations on everything and welcome back.

[@fatima3411]

Welcome back, nice seeing you again ! And good luck with your plans !

[@k1t2m3g4]

Welcome Back!

[@atropos_thefate]

Looking forward to your workbook; please keep us updated. I wish you much productivity!

[@JennyDMyWorld]

I am so like that… when I get to cleaning up I am amazed that I didn’t even notice the mess before that. I go around saying wow who lives here😂

[@patrickjchesebrough]

You are changing lives. Keep it up. I am a mental health therapist in the States and your videos have completely changed my approach to treatment and approach to autism. Thank you!

[@LaCafedora]

Welcome back! Your videos are an important contribution to the world (in the name of education), and have been valuable to me personally. I'm excited to see what you'll be making in the future!

[@terrilabeth]

Nice to meet you Anna and Nadia, your video clips were lovely! ❤️ Welcome back Sam….looking very forward to your workbook to say the least! The plant was so funny! Well you and the plant were so funny, not really just the plant? 💗

[@shnn1a]

Absolutely loved getting to see your virtual assistants. So cool

[@deesparklebazinga9374]

Hey welcome back and congratulations on your 100K xx

[@JennyDMyWorld]

Thank you Anna and Naidia!! You are awesome Sam!😊❤

[@CatsandHatsCrochet]

Yay! Welcome back! So excited for your big announcement ☺️ (didn’t want to give it away for those that haven’t watched yet hehe)

[@annalisamanderville1364]

Thank you Nadia and Anna❤️

[@stevedryden803]

I had wondered what had happened. I am glad that you are back. And a thank you goes out to Anna and Nadia

[@abbyanderson3679]

Welcome back Sam we missed you

[@LunarGlowMedia]

As somebody trying to get started making content myself I found the part about all the work that goes into production super relatable. The perfectionism in me opened the Fusion page in Davince Resolve and promptly told me that I'm hot garbage if I can't learn to be proficient in the hardest part of the program to learn.

[@julie_uk_]

Good stuff Sam, great to see you & the many plant boinks, ha. Take care 😊🌿

[@lindadeandatimmons7357]

Your videos have changed my life. I am so thankful that you make them.

[@wickedwest89]

Value the updates! Congrats on the channel milestone! Would love to see a video on your EMDR experience!

[@user-ik6ud6tc1d]

Congratulations!

[@annalisamanderville1364]

Welcome back Sam! And congratulations 🎉!!

[@JennyDMyWorld]

Dream big!

[@thk929]

Congratulations. Your unique approach running this channel is awesome.

[@ryana8246]

I greatly enjoy your videos and look forward to what comes ahead! You three are great. Keep up the great content.. you are valued.

[@niencat]

Very nice to see you in a new video again Sam! And interesting (in a good way) to meet your 2 assistants. Glad ypu have them! I was diagnosed with autism 3 years ago when i was 57. And I felt and still feel so relieved now that I have this diagnosis. You were one of the first people who talked about autism and are women that i started to follow on youtube. Lots of love and success Janine van Rooij, the Netherlands

[@ericwelvaert4780]

Congratulations to you and your team. You earned it. I'm glad you're back.

[@novastariha8043]

You A “Go Girl”. Fosho!!

[@annadayknight]

Love the sound of the workbook!

[@linekolbe7973]

Sam and crew, I really like your videos. I stumbled upon your old videos and you are one of the reasons I've discovered I'm autistic. I'm not diagnosed but my whole life made sense when I started looking into this. I don't need a diagnosis. I just love that I now know why I am the way I am and I'm really glad and actually proud of being the way I am. Thank you for creating content here

[@lauraferron6602]

Hey! I think the workbook is an amazing idea! I used your worksheet to organise my thoughts before going to my GP and start the "I think I am autistic" talk and took so many notes afterwards while waiting for my assessment. It would have been very nice to have a workbook then. I will definitely recommend it to anyone on this journey :)

[@VeryMiley]

Great video update. Thanks for this. Thanks for introducing us to your two ND PAs. Your channel has been so helpful to late diagnosed adults - keep blazing the way! Can’t wait to buy the workbook - November isn’t that far off thankfully and some of us could really use a workbook!!

[@ABLovescrafting]

I'm looking forward to your book! It sounds like a really good resource!

[@leftfinned]

Hello Ana and Nadia….. lucky ladies and congrats. Doing great job all around!! It’s nice to have people to relate to…

[@isstinna]

boink boink said the plant xD I am very glad to see you back and congrats on 100k subs! Also Ana and Nadia, hi! Nice to meet you! btw I am an autistic person with lead customer support experience looking for a job so if you need a project manager or support or whatever I am here ^^

[@Neurodivergentmum]

Congrats on 100k. Love your content so much, I really identify with you. Your videos helped me to pursue my own diagnosis xxx

[@sophierood4205]

I just recently got my official autism diagnosis and you really helped me discover myself so thank you

[@djpaterson]

Congratulations Sam! Plus, thank you for all your videos. They have really helped me through my (somewhat late in life) diagnosis.

[@vanessab9584]

I'm so glad that you lose your words like I do! It feels like it's just me that happens to so thank you :D

[@melsgalleria]

OMG, Your explanation of adhd meds is perfect. That is what I have spent over a year trying to clean up, is the giant mess adhd me made.

[@self-rustoration-society]

I'd like to say that I "stumbled" across your videos... but tbh, I went searching after watching the video you did with/for Amazon a few months ago... I could ramble more, but just want to say thank you for helping me understand myself.

[@alecburrett7482]

I always find the blooper reel great, reminds me of some of the old films like Rush Hour.

[@mimomaria6396]

Bring on the workbook!!! Thank you!

[@staceyruwoldt9158]

You're the reason I found out I was Autistic thank you!!!!! 😁🥰 I found out 2 years and 9 months ago and since then I've never looked back! Finding.. Out was the best thing that ever happened to me! ☺️ You did one video on your Autistic traits and I aligned with every single one of them!!! 😃💗💗 xoxox

[@user-lz2dy1uf1m]

i hope we all do well :), i wish i had something more spesific and good to say

[@novastariha8043]

Hi ! Anna ! You are beautiful and very Self Actualizing !! A “Go Girl” too!!

[@harleequinnezl5032]

lol the apology to the plant is so me hahaha

[@kmah88]

Congratulations on the channel goal accomplishment. 🎉 Your channel is great! I've related so hard to many of your videos and the things you say. I even cried watching the one when you go through your high school diaries because it was so similar to my own feelings. Seeing other neurodivergent people online is super helpful, especially when they are insightful AND funny like you - so thanks! And an extra thank you to the team! I think it's so great that you have employed people from within your community. I often think that something like that would be an ideal situation for me too. I have skills that I think someone out there could make use of and find valuable but... I also don't interact much so no one would ever know that. 🙃 (Maybe if I actually put myself out there like Ana and Nadia did, I could work in an environment that fits my needs - like home! - and makes use of my skills rather than only being able to handle part time hours doing a meaningless job at the restaurant I've been at for the past 6 years. 😬) Apologies for the long rambling comment. I am never able to keep it short, which is why I never end up hitting send...

[@aboomination897]

\o/ thank you, Ana and Nadia! \o/ thank you, Sam

[@salfordnurse]

Only just started watching your channel, recent self reflection has started me considering if I am Autistic. Trying some of the AQ tests and score high on them. Currently trying to get the courage to speak to my GP, and if there would be any point at 45. So been binge watching your videos. I’ve tried making notes for my gp following the DSM-V but even just the first part of section A and I’ve already got around a side and half of A4 I do tend to get deeply obsessed with things
