Older lady here (and retired school teacher)...my best friend is autistic. Brilliant, artistic woman and perfect just the way she is. I told her to take a look at this---she said, "So, if I subscribe to his channel, the birds will not shit on my car?! That is awesome!" I did explain.

I was diagnosed as autistic a few years back when I was 60. I am still struggling to come terms with the diagnosis even though I had begun to suspect that I was, oddly after I had taken four years training as a counsellor during which I was praised for my insights into clients' concerns eg understanding the subtext of the situations they described. One disappointment was that having gone through life being entertained by my own imagination and feeling I was special in a good way, I now feel like a textbook case. I spend most of my time alone now, not wishing to upset peopole - although I still do that, just on-line

My friend, who I've known since school, was diagnosed at nearly 50. When she told me I was like ahhh that makes sense. She feels better knowing about her autism, she now knows that all of her lists and databases are all for a reason. Also that she's not stupid, scatty or lazy, she autistic. CBT has helped her massively

Studies have revealed significant gender disparities in autism diagnosis, as males are diagnosed at substantially higher rates compared to females (Lai et al., 2015). Factors contributing to the underdiagnoses of females with autism include diagnostic criteria based on male presentations of the disorder and a lack of awareness among professionals of the unique characteristics of autism presentation in females (Rynkiewicz et al., 2016). Furthermore, research indicates gender differences in referrals for therapy services, with autistic boys referred more frequently than autistic girls (Cridland et al., 2014). This referral disparity could reflect the wider societal perception of autism as a male-dominated disorder and the requirement for increased understanding and education surrounding the unique requirements of female autistic individuals. This is a little chunk from my MA dissertation 😊

Female adult Autistic here, i think females are under diagnosed as women are often told to calm down and stop getting emotional. So we get swept under the carpet. Also, it was really hard for me to get an assessment as I had to justify to my NHS Therapist why I felt I needed the assessment. Well hello obviously to see if I have Autism which I suspected I had due to me thinking differently to others. To add insult to injury, the Therapist then said even if you did get a diagnosis of Autism, how will that make any different to your life. I literally had to justify, yes it would as it would help me look into the matter further and learn acceptance of myself.

My dad has undiagnosed autism. I’m sure of it. My son has diagnosed autism. My dad is 80 years old and I always knew that he was very odd and my parents’ marriage was destroyed, and I like to think that life would have been better if he’d been diagnosed and had appropriate help. I’m so grateful that my son has the help and support he needs. ❤ 1) My dad refuses to eat cheese. He has a visceral reaction to it. He also orders the same meal every time we go out to eat. My son has a very limited palate, but he’s working on it! 2) I remember my dad getting unreasonably upset when school was closed because the power was out, and he had to take us home before he could go to work . (As a math and computer science instructor in eighties, kind of stereotypical, right? 😂). I was actually afraid because he was so upset about it, and that’s probably the only reason I remember it. My son doesn’t seem to care about routines as much. 3) I don’t really think my dad has a special sense of humor, but my sweet autistic son has a very, very hard time understanding sarcasm despite being raised in a ridiculously sarcastic family. 😊 He still has to ask sometimes if we’re being sarcastic or not. Even though he usually understands at this point, he never uses it himself. 4) My dad doesn’t like animals any more or less than anyone else, but my son has a deep connection to animals and so do I (although I’m not autistic). 🐱 🐕 4) Yes! I see that in both of them, but I also have that. 😊 Now I’m paranoid that I’m autistic, lol. Pretty sure I’m not though. I’m just a weird in a more typical way. 😂

Agree, I suspect it's more than 1 in 100. I live in NYC and have worked at some public corporations. A friend who worked higher up in human resources helped me understand how to recognize autistic coworkers. She believed that over half of all the C-suite executives were on the spectrum and she is correct. Next time you are at a business conference at a top company, pay attention! You will have a revelation. They are also the majority of most of the Meetup organizers. Not all, but I'd say the majority. They love organizing Meetups! I'm not sure why, but I have attended many Meetups and was intrigued that over 90% of the organizers (group leaders and initiators) were on the spectrum. They make great Meetup facilitators!

So many folks have autism and by meeting so many folks I have learned to recognize the signs. I feel it's pretty apparent in the body language and facial expressions. Aspergers: there is often a remoteness. For the high-functioning types, it's there, you will notice it in the social remoteness and hyper focus in work, machine-like focus. The more people you are exposed to, the more you will be better at starting to notice it. Many of the symptoms you describe are stereotypes of lower functioning autistics. Most of the autistic people I have met do not necessarily fit neatly into your profile. It is often more subtle and not so obvious. Aspergers: they are often in high level positions in Fortune 500 companies in NYC.

'High-functioning' downplays the real struggles that certain autistic people have (hello), and 'low-functioning' downplays certain people's abilities, infantilises them, and is usually an innacurate way of describing an autistic person who has a disability. Also, can we please stop using the word 'symptoms' - autism is not an illness.

1 in 100? Oh, that's so cute! On my maternal side we have ~17% ASD & another 17% ADD. Yes, it's definitely genetic. I've been independently studying the chromosomal anomaly in my family for the past few years (biochemist/ genetic genealogist) & was shocked to discover a small group of distantly related individuals who also had the same anomaly. I have definitively traced it back 6 generations but still haven't found the common ancestor for the extended group which has some fascinating evolutionary implications. And yes, my oldest daughter (who's half Bengali) is ASD, and doing very well. About to graduate from a performing arts college. So, WOC with ASD are out there, but you often don't find what you're not looking for...

1 in 100 is an old start from over a decade ago. Latest I've read is 1 in 23. that's due to several things. like Combining 4 disorders in DSM to 1 spectrum. Then late diagnosis and women being diagnosed. So that makes sense. Roughly 4 times the diagnoses now. Add women for more and the late diagnoses of women and men.

i'm glad you made a video about autism!! i hoped for it in the comments some videos back. my sense of humor is quite unique i guess but people tend to love it!! or at least other medical students, all of my jokes are medicine related puns. i think my delivery makes it even funnier because i'm very monotone and can seem like a very serious and unfunny person at first so you wouldn't expect a person like me to be a real jokester. i sometimes miss sarcasm but i've learned to be more aware of it so i can ask whether someone was being sarcastic or not. people can't always tell whether i am being sarcastic or not either but sometimes i am able to use sarcasm successfully and sometimes i add that it was sarcasm for clarification. i also don't feel pressured to laugh if i don't find something funny. especially when people are just being mean and masking it as a joke.

I literally had this experience with croissants as a kid. I would warm it up, then gently peel it and dip it in warm milk before savoring every bite. I figured out that I was allergic to milk and later also realized I feel better without gluten, but I can still enjoy the memories decades later. Mmmm I do have a very strong connection with my 5 cats. My exception to what you’ve said is that I like listening to loud music as long as I have ear plugs. Especially if the place is dark and loud, it’s better to avoid talking to people.

Ever heard of the double empathy. People on the spectrum are human. My empathy with others on spectrum is spot on. With other human no so great. Cognitive empathy I can't recognized it's the response to it that get messed up. As person the spectrum, I love going to club. One huge caveat, has to pay the right music. Heavy Metal and not issues at all. Country bar, and nope can't do it. It's as bad as going into a body shop. What's with wannabe cowboys and cologne, do they bath in it.

I have Autism/ADHD and I am also an empath. The thumbnail seems a little odd for a choice as I presume the young man in the middle is on the spectrum and almost looks like he is being ridiculed. I'm 58 and was an extreme masker and my story is fairly unique. My autistic voice came out a year ago after a mental rewiring that took 7 days and it could be compared to a mental breakdown of sorts. So I was talking through my adhd most of my life and my thought to speech comes from 2 places in my head, I can feel it. These are traits of autism that you are referring to and the only reason it's considered a disability is because our traits don't align with what our medical specialists consider a normal way of thinking. You speak from a perspective that seems like you know what we feel, not sure if you are on the spectrum? We are not all bothered by strong smells, it's specific strong smelling things. Some perfumes are nice and some are offensive with how strong it is. Fresh cilantro being cut to me is offensive some may like it. The sensitivity to the eating part is a bit skewed, I think most people don't like loud slobbish eaters or open mouth chewers. No I don't hope they choke but would not repeat eating with them again by choice. I do love animals but not because of some fantasy that they understand me, in fact I gravitate to women for empathy and support. If I plan to have a day where my routine is different, yes I have to mentally prepare because it's a process but that won't be a huge problem. The problems are unplanned things that come up suddenly and we have not been able to prepare for and that becomes a problem. I think we are ready to start thinking of having the traits of autism are by design and served a purpose with the way we are supposed to live and the same with ADHD but don't believe they were designed to be together in the same person. I have 2 separate thought processes that communicate with each other and rationalize everything that happens in my life. My senses have doubled after unmasking and have learned more in the past year than my entire life. I also would like to mention that we are more aware of things and people than what it may seem. We are observers and listeners after all, a lot of which is kept internalized. I may have an advantage because I can sense and feel others emotions but it can also be way more chaotic than you can imagine. I have been hyperfixated on my thoughts going on 6 weeks now and learning about myself and orhers perspectives. Being misinformed can cause some to be hyperfixated on that information and could be hard to get back on track. I don't feel you are trying to be disrespectful to the autistic community but many of us do feel that your examples are extreme and not everyone is going to have these types of reactions. It's what the non autistic people need to understand and painting an extreme perception may give skewed opinions on the traits. I'm very autistic forward and stim all day with vocal stims and tics, my autism stutters and stammers when I speak and my adhd does not and I can feel it in a different place with my thought to speech. Your passion seems genuine to me and I think you could gain more insight and have a better understanding if you ask us questions about different situations to have a baseline to campare it to. I know you have seen hundreds of patients but if you want more accurate information on autism to put it in a better perspective it would be very helpful. I totally respect you and your work and this is not meant to criticize but rather inform on what makes us tick. 👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️

My sense of humour is so dry that it isn't funny. I tend to relate better to machines than people. However, if an inanimate object does something I don't expect it to do (eg: fall off the bench, roll away from where I put it, or some other annoying thing, particularly if it does it repetitively), I tend to tell the object to "stop that," as if it were another human. I know it can't even hear what I say, let alone understand and do as I tell it, but I still feel compelled to say it anyway. When I have a particularly enjoyable motorcycle ride, I tend to give my bike a pat on the fuel tank and call it a "good ol' girl." I don't know what it is about talking to machines, but it's just something I tend to do.

I’d love to know your thoughts about potential over diagnosis of autism in adults currently. I have lost count the number of people trying to get assessed and who think they are on the spectrum. Even listening to them I start to wonder if I should get a diagnosis myself. What would rule someone in and out of a diagnosis? A typical case: socially anxious, sensitive to external sounds, crowds, tendency to isolate, sensitive to scratchy clothes, bullied at school, has some symptoms of adhd also, ruminates on social interactions, feels different. I feel this is basically most patients I assess, plus myself. Surely we are not all autistic? Where is the line?

There is no over-diagnosis. One reason is because after the DSM IV was revised and the DSM V came out, many similar conditions were then put under the ASD umbrella. Another reason is that as we become more connected in this age of technology, people like me have discovered their autistic traits (NOT "signs" or "symptoms - this is NOT a disease, it's a neurological difference!). This has led to adults like me learning about ourselves and discovering that the differences we always knew (or suspected) we had, and all the difficulties and challenges that we had growing up, now, as adults, make complete sense. Going for a diagnosis is not trendy or cool, it's bloody well important to an autistic person's wellbeing. The stigma attached to being autistic is still nasty. Do you really think we want a label that makes us even more of a target? So please, consider being kinder and more understanding.

i don't think those tiktokers you are referring to should be considered autistic at all (not all self diagnosed tiktokers but i know what you're talking about) so we don't really need a new word for it, we can just call them quirky. we just need to acknowledge that it is a spectrum and some people have very high support needs while some don't. i know it can be frustrating to see people who are just a little quirky or have very low support needs or have never met a person with high support needs speaking over those with high support needs, throwing them under the bus or completely distancing themselves from them. i hate it too as an autistic person with low support needs. my autism is somewhat visible as in people can tell that there's something different about me. even i feel ostracized by the "just a little quirky autistics" sometimes because they can be quite mean when your autism isn't just all quirky, you are socially different or do something they consider cringey.

As an “high functioning” autistic woman, I agree! I think it’s unfair to them and myself to be lumped into a spectrum, because as always, the more seen people will get the attention, empathy and understanding and the lesser seen will always be seen to be “faking” it or being lazy! I’m annoyed that the diagnosis of asperger was taken away, it should just have been renamed! People understand the difference between asperger and autism purely because they are two different names and MAYBE life would be a crumb better for us!

@@Jae-by3hf Yes the split between autism and Asperger was sensible but it turned out Herr Asperger was quite a nasty man doing horrible things for the Nazis. They could just give it another name though.

I personally still use the term ' aspergers ' . I don't care if " they" took it away- it's a helpful distinction.

If the most common age for Autism diagnosis is 5-years old. The how does this fit with the fact that mental disorders come out when we're 17/18 during adolescence when our true personality comes out?

🖼Hi Dr. Das. The autistic people I've known in my life are either antisocial, violent, or both. I don't care for either of these because I have anxiety & their behavior just makes my condition worse. Thanks for your good explanation of these difficult, easily misunderstood folks. I love your channel & and I hope you're doing fine, ✌️ peace, love, Miss Janine💯🍩🌴🧸🚘🎶🎵🌺

The autistic people I've known in my life have been lovely and empathetic. I'm currently 5 and a half minutes into this video and I have never felt so dehumanised.
