Actually Autistic TikTok Compilation 6

What is Actually Autistic: autism-advocac...
The shop where I sell Autism and Neurodiversity themed stickers for 1 dollar: fernfeline.ets...

[@daffadilly]

The going to therapy, being diagnosed w generalized anxiety disorder and depression and then the medication not actually helping because it never addressed, just lightly numbed your actual problem 😬 like ma’am, we got the deluxe upgrade edition. Funny how the moment I started addressing coping strategies for autism and CPTSD, was the moment I was able to alleviate the majority of my anxiety and depression w/o medication even

[@daa5865]

This. I was experiencing a bad depressive episode so I got put in a ward and there I got medication for depression. I literally felt zero effect but all the caretakers and psychologists told me I was making great progress and seemed super active and stable. I got discharged and immediately fell back into my old patterns. Turns out it wasn't the medication, it was the clear daily schedule that made me function "normally" and guess which condition makes you feel more comfortable with a routine?..... Yeah. I'm happy I'm not the only one this happened to.

[@LucyHeartfiliaasdfghj]

the last one hit so hard, I always struggle so much when my therapist asks me how something makes me feel

[@fertilizerhappens8359]

Sun through trees vs bad radio, I'll take the radio. I can turn the radio off and crack a window or just sing or talk to myself.

[@lovelyxrosez6589]

this was my exact thought! the sun thing sounds awful but at least a radio you can turn off

[@goober112]

I can handle the radio. I zone out & tend to not listen while I'm driving. Lol my fiance hates it & I'm like okay then you change the radio I wasn't paying attention to it.

[@batzooka]

the last one hit like a brick, instead of autism or something ive been diagnosed with low grade depression and anxiety.

[@thesketchbox1607]

4:00 I have to say my autism movie was the first httyd movie, like, I watch it several times a day-

[@shahrishinamdar1918]

02:15 so I was going to pick the second one until she said it's not rhythmic... so in conclusion I'd choose sitting at home and not going out in a car :) I cannot ride the car either way cause of motion sickness

[@ThatHorribleMusiciandork7]

same. car’s make me sick.

[@exhaustedpunk1477]

Those last two are so spot on I need to have them on automatic play anytime my dumb brain goes "impostor, you're just faking it, stop making excuses" about my autism lol Also would choose the annoying radio sounds over the visual nightmare cause I can dissociate from sounds AND I could just turn it off, while there is just no escaping the other unless you like cover your face and take a nap I guess?

[@Maimgocouncil]

2:19 I’d rather throw myself out the car. My eyes are super sensitive and I hate the sun. I’ll wear sunglasses when I die. For the radio I’d rather no music then that in and out stuff. I’ll withstand it for a few minutes but an hour is torture.

[@lost_boy]

05:10 Morgan hits the nail right on the head there.... 47 year old man here and my mother is constantly telling me to "dress more appropriately" for my age.... ugh...

[@lost_boy]

also, the next tiktok of hers... damn I feel called out!

[@arcious60]

4:55 they actually mentioned matilda! Yes!

[@thatoneweirdkid7272]

i stopped telling ppl that i like watching tv and started telling them that i ✨enjoy analyzing cinema✨

[@C1garetteAh3gao]

5:26 "And I was so young when I behaved 25 yet now I find I've grown into a tall child." - First Love / Late Spring by Mitski

[@Noah-fp3kj]

0:24 omg i have never in my life heard something more real than that in my life, is so embarrasing to be like that cos i have had a lot of friends that stopped being my friends cos of that (for context I looked kinda "punk" but i had no idea about punk world so people speak to me expecting someone interesting and founded an autistic idiot, so I didnt interact a lot cos I knew that the things i would say would make them not like me, they all made fun of me cos i had no personality and i am boring and left me) but then i made other friends, they are also autistic, i feel stupid, cos they all have steriotipical "clever sutistic that can give you information about stuff" kind off autistic special interest and then im like I like sailor Moon, cool college tesis about science that i didnt understand tho

[@TumblingCastle]

the last one- very relateable

[@HannajJones-qk7dk]

I always thought I struggled most with sound sensory, I am now waiting for my stepdad to leave his room so I can try to convince him to grab me a snack because all the snacks are in a corner that is a little to bright and I feel overstimulated and Ii is that time of the week for autistic burnout, I can't find my gum or my sunglasses and I need help.

[@StealthMaster86]

4:56 OMFG. I feel the same way. I'm 37 and I don't feel like an adult. Not one bit. I still get overly excited over stuff I enjoy like movies, books, music and video games like I'm still in my late teens/early 20s.

[@blipbloupblap9531]

The sun one, I would cover my eyes but i am more brothered by sounds than lights.

[@mason4615]

THE LAST TGING HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY, AND I AM DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD AND AUTISM SCINE I WAS 5, AND THERE CALLING ME DEPRESSED, there trying so hard to read around me when life is going in and im just a seoiner struggling with thinga ill have to learn, man.

[@Star_Rattler]

Oh for sure the radio. I don't even have to think about it. Especially if I'm driving. If the sun is doing the epilepsy thing with the trees sunglasses do NOT save me bc it's so intense. I am driving I need to see the road. No way. I can deal with some ear annoyance bc it's not going to cause me to be visually impaired behind the wheel.

[@viralynn8120]

Would I rather? No I would rather not. Thanks.

[@widewailcorduroy7278]

I'd choose the radio all day long, regardless of what was playing or half-playing or not playing rather than have the sun be strobing and unblockable. And if I forgot my sunglasses, y'all have permission to slap me upside the head.

[@FuzzyLittlePanfurrs]

Harry Potter series for me and honestly alone 3. Those are my autism go to. I also get the being told you’re adult like as a child and then being called childish as an adult.

[@CLOWN_PRINCE1939]

3:53 when she said the wizard of oz I was like yes 😭❤️

[@_.Palm._]

i gotta say, the last one happened to me except i was diagnosed with depression, ADHD and SPD and i’m not entirely sure i should be taking the depression meds bc what if it’s something else like (which i possibly am) autism, bipolar disorder or something like that. it’s really confusing and i get really paranoid that taking the wrong medication which i don’t need is going to affect me negatively

[@sparrow1407]

Everyone here needs to watch Fantastic Mr Fox it’s so good and it’s be dry autism coded because there are so many characters that are definitely autistic

[@Mondkreischer]

My autism movies are the first 3 Jurassic Parks, Spirited Away, The Mummy and a whole bunch of bad horror movies like Mega Python VS. Gatoroid 😅

[@sweetypsycho4895]

Fcking relatable

[@kaylarich7717]

I've having the craziest experience. I always get impostor syndrome with my autism but I can't believe how seen I feel right now!! 😮😮

[@HannajJones-qk7dk]

2:20 the sound one because I have several hours of music on my phone and NEVER leave my headphones at home

[@SaturnIsMyStar]

4:34 BFG BFG BFG BFG BFG BIG FRIENDLY MOTHER FUCKING GIANT!!!!!!!

[@JonaLenz]

Oh, Aristocats. I loved it when I was younger. I think I watched it more than 20 times. But I loved Cinderella even more. I guess. I watched it a year ago and I knew I don’t like it anymore tho. I’m wondering how it would be watching Aristocats again… I read more often, so I probably have a book I repeat reading…?

[@JonaLenz]

Sorry for this uninteresting and uniforming comment…

[@eggday9079]

Honestly surprised the Spongebob movie was not mentioned. That was mine.

[@NotAFanOfHandles]

Sun through trees or radio? I'd take the radio. Let's be honest, the sun thing can be dangerous even for people without neurodivergencies because it impairs your vision. I've watched all those movies multiple times... except Grown Ups. I don't think I've ever seen Grown Ups The whole being told I was very mature for my age as a kid, only then to get told off for being childish as an adult is too real The last one... I haven't been to therapy yet but I'm worried that will be my experience

[@phoebebaker9665]

I think fishlegs from the how to train your dragon franchise is autistic. I cant be the only one who feels that, right?

[@pockettots1945]

why thank you fern

[@amahrrinsampson3030]

How can rapunzel have autism?

[@FireflyOffical]

I feel called out…. 4:28

[@JustMe_OhWell]

🤗

[@Star_Rattler]

THE LAST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SLAMS FIST ON TABLE SLAMS FIST ON TABLE OW OW OW L I T C H R A L L Y

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Matilda is 1000% the most autistic movie ever because not only does it read like Matilda is autistic herself but the whole ~vibes~ of the movie and the way it's paced/shot is like... it _looks_ bland but none of it _feels_ bland because it has this whole bizarre, almost fever dream-like sense to it the entire time, yanno? And that's kinda just how life feels to an autistic person (from my own experience, at least).

[@astro_penguin_]

I didn't see the movie till I was older but I related to Matilda so hard as a child lol

[@bingbong6323]

YES BUT ALSO I WAS SO SAD HARRY POTTER THE WHOLE SERIES WASN'T THERE!! I WATCHED IT SO MANY TIMES TO THE POINT WHERE I KNOW EVERY SINGLE LINE AND NEVER GET BORED OF IT
