I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a child in grade school, which is really a feat since it was the last 1960s/early 1970s and I don't think people knew that much about it. As an adult, my psychologist tells me that he believes I am ASD as well. I take the test and I am. OK. So now what? I didn't get my ASD diagnosis until I was 53 and I am surprised that I even got a diagnosis at all. I have severe Executive Dysfunction now that I can't take any ADHD meds due to a heart condition. And now I find out that going through menopause actually increases how we react to our environment and actually makes our 'symptoms' more pronounced. I don't see it as having a 'disorder'. I think the rest of the world needs to be more sensitive to other people's feeling, etc. I think that by labelling or 'pigeonholing' someone into what they 'expect' you to be is damaging to us as the individual. I believe it starts with the educational system and how they treat people with ASD. You can't throw everyone who is diagnosed into the same classroom as everyone has different levels of learning. There needs to be more screening for how children learn in general. The old German way of lumping everyone in the same classroom and forcing kids to conform isn't applicable to today and I doubt that it ever was very good at actual education. Memorization is not education. There are a lot of people who learn better hands on. Speaking specifically for myself on this, I learned a lot better hands on. All my autistic friends do too. I just wish that they would have treated us better in school. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk.

Well how about letting kids pursue what they’re actually interested in, rather than indoctrinating them with lies give them the basic math and let their parents teach the rest or if they’re interested in pursuing music have schools just focusing on that poetry music etc and if they like legos or whatever have them learn hands on stuff etc

ADHD is very similar to Autism so it's possible it could be misdiagnosed

[@gailterry3134]

Sensory Processing Disorder and Literal Thinking!! Big time. Those are traits that cannot be masked. I'm 64 and never got an official diagnosis. I tried to get a diagnosis in my early 50s, but got C-PTSD instead. They gave me the typical 'young boy test', so of course I didn't fall into the ASD category. But I have learned to mask so well with all the other traits. I could go as far as to say Masking is my special interest! Gotta say, you have to be really careful with Literal Thinking. It got me into a lot of really awful situations. I got to the point that now I'm safer just believing that everyone is lying to me. (and these days, it's probably true) I've come to isolate a lot. Just can't deal with the world as it is today.

[@freqgirl]

I totally feel this. During the pandemic I was so happy because I didn't have to deal with people. It was glorious. Drop my food off at the back door, Amazon is my friend, etc. Contactless delivery is amazing and I still use it. My husband works from home ever since the pandemic and it is wonderful to deal with people on OUR terms, not theirs. Not everyone is this lucky I know. However, if you can get a telecommute job, I think they were made for us. Hang in there. I'm 64 as well. I really hope things get better for you. I totally understand taking everyone literally and then end up trusting no one. I am that way too after being lied to so much. I'm thinking it is better to trust no one than be hurt. I totally feel your pain. That's why I rarely leave my house now.

[@AishaMCoupons]

Have you heard of monotropism? Our 16-year-old son hasn't been tested for ASD yet (because we can't seem to get the places around here that do assessments to get back to us even through his doctor!) but I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can since he is monotropic and does seem to have a lot of the traits of ASD (albiet high functioning). I've downloaded your Life Hacks book and will probably sign up for your course, too. Thank you so much for this channel!

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes indeed as an autistic man it is exactly how I is

[@user-wd1if3kz2m]

I had a step Mom who would yell at me no matter what I did and she would force me to look at her (she would grab me very hard by my arm and wouldn't let go) And with me I have lack of eye contact so I would try to look at her and it would make me severely uncomfortable so I barley go over there despite having a almost 3 year old sister. This really helps me a lot since I barely know what to do and how to cope so your videos make it a lot easier to understand on what helps me and what could like trigger me so thank you ❤❤

[@pepitoduran1984]

G'day Dan. Hope you're well mate. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD inattentive disorder at 36 a few years back and then shortly after, Autism as well. What's funny in a sense was that after watching your latest video on the several traits of Asperger's you'd mentioned dislexia, my wife and I realised I may have the same form after researching and coming to learn there are 12.

[@user-bz4wc9mr7k]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You have so much knowledge to share and I appreciate learning from you. Thank you for being you 😊

[@amyhyde70]

😂I probably should get tested. But then again; why. I’m old and have navigated this life unsuccessfully, yet I hold down a job and get things done that have to be done. This was very interesting! Thank you

[@louielondonmedia4819]

I’m a trained social worker and I like working with and being with people. Everyone is different. I am also diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, and dyslexia. The sensory aspects I agree with but the other aspects don’t feel like me. Although, I am curious how other experience the world. I am certain Autism is neuro-divergent condition and maybe it’s your super power, your way of being super human

[@j.b.4340]

Attention to detail makes me superior, at my job. I collect data, in the field, and do all of the drafting there(world’s second oldest profession). I view the world as a drainage survey.

[@1slickprankster]

Is it necessarily important to have the ASD diagnosis and does it make life easier?

[@TheAspieWorld]

I guess it comes down to: if you need help and support from government etc or your medical board an official diagnosis can make access easier.

[@trawssaunders]

From my experience, idk if it’s the same with everyone but I do things naturally and didn’t figure out i had asd until I met someone with asd. Nothing changed for me, but I had a traumatic childhood so I’m still processing it thru the lense of I had asd, people around me knew and neglected it and as a kid I became self dependent outside of food and a home. So when learning about it, it’s easier to navigate and help with relationships because there’s sources to help you. rather you put a label or not on you it’s important to understand your needs because you matter and you deserve a chance to live a happy life. Life’s gonna be hard at times but the support around us will make it easier.

[@chriscohlmeyer4735]

@@trawssaunders Yikes!! Food and a house and once in a while new clothes (4th of four boys so most handmedowns were worn out) but otherwise neglect. ASD drove interests and perseverance to figure out reading despite dyslexia while ADHD drove exploration and independence - it made an interesting life of survival. Teen years were a S!ht Show of additional abuse, physical injuries, suicidal thoughts (direct and indirect situational), drug addiction (but that helped my ability to study) leading to crossroads of 1 mental institutions, 2 prison, 3 death but I'd cut through the woods and find another way to survive a while longer. First and second grade teachers taught me a lot indirectly about managing my overt autistic traits of 5, 6 and 7, this was in the late 50's early 60's. A tutor in third grade quickly identified that the reason I was there was bogus but helped me develop a strategy to manage reading even with dyslexia - many words that appeared to me as the same were often different with context and subject so - read, read, read and read some more and if a sentence didn't make sense then pick through it to identify my wrong assumption - also keep my reading for school to grade level and study stuff like Latin on my own. Trying to chase and emulate my older brothers did make me stronger than everyone else in my grade level, I'd get bullied into fighting the new kid which typically led to them calling uncle in about a minute > no bullies in our grade level as who wanted to get beaten by the weird kid? Got past a monotone voice by being in a church choir otherwise learned to mask my ASD and ADHD symptoms and the more serious abuse issues. At 46 years married now the wife mentioned the other day that she's still finding out things about my past lives.

Hi there, where is the link for the course in relation to turning obsessive interests into a career please?

[@stealth48nurse]

I read that a Keto or Carnivore diet is excellent for autistic spectrum and ADHD. Please research for yourself.

[@keelyhall7249]

Hi, is there any connection with behaviors such as aggressive behaviors especially when angry or when being disciplined? And also making sudden shrill noises/ sudden screaming be a connection with Asperger's?

[@thehermit761]

psychopathic individuals pick up on the routine bit and torture the aspi by disrupting his routine and watching him squirm

[@oesteful]

How would you recommend handling a situation in a social group where an autistic person and a NT person both have the same idea, the NT person executes first, and now the autistic person is convinced that the other person deliberately targeted them and stole their idea? I don't want to get into too many details here, but all signs point to both people having similar ideas at roughly the same time. I highly suspect that the autistic person's reaction (went on for a long time about how they'd been betrayed, the other person was a snake and 100% at fault, etc.) is due to their diagnosis. But they were resistant to other explanations (it just being coincidence, etc.) and for me, as a non mental health professional, it feels really condescending to say "hey, I think you've overreacting here due to your autism." I also don't want to completely invalidate their feelings, but at the same time they were jumping to a conclusion that really wasn't supported by what happened and I didn't want to throw the other person under the bus, either. To provide more context, this involves two people getting the same gift for a mutual friend's birthday. The autistic person mentioned what they wanted to get in a text conversation. I didn't understand the reference at the time. They used a word that can have multiple meanings. They used it in it's literal context, which is also the context I am least familiar with it appearing. No one followed up because there were multiple conversations happening at once. The autistic person is now throwing around that screenshot claiming the other stole their gift. The other person says they got the gift before the conversation but won't provide proof because they're fed up and basically done with the autistic person. The autistic person says if that were true, the other person should have told them at the time of the conversation, and they fact they didn't is proof that they're lying and stole the gift idea. I see this as being related to difficulties with emotional regulation and issues with a theory of mind, both of which are commonly associated with ASD. But I don't know how to handle the issue or the fallout.

I'll give you the social interaction, sensory, implicit thinking and regimental routine. But, Monotone voice? Never experienced this with Asperger's or any form of ASD or broader ND. And this is one of my peeves, Eye contact is a diagnostic criteria best suited for matters of Optometry, and nothing else. This is one of the many false positives that cause a lot of problems. I have met and interacted with countless neuro-divergent people of all kinds. And maybe 5% have your stereotypical eye contact avoidance. I've had eye contact with non-verbal high dependency ASD. It really doesn't mean anything at all. And it most certainly should never be used in diagnostics.

[@toastedtcake2947]

I agree with you because someone doesn’t have to have ALL the specified traits. I don’t have obsessive interests ‘for life’ where I become and expert on a subject. I get obsessed over something for a short time and then get bored with it after and move on to something else I am one of those people who DOES find eye contact really difficult. I never held eye contact as a kid but learnt to do this as I grew older just to be able to ‘fit in’ and be like others as a teen and in my 20’s. So now I can do eye contact but it doesn’t feel natural and I have to look away after a certain amount of eye contact whilst trying to not make it look unusual so not to offend them. I sometimes wonder if they know eye contact is difficult or whether I am making it look natural that they don’t notice.

[@AgnesBalla9602]

We don’t use aspergers syndrome nowadays. We use autism spectrum disorder.
