ASMR | Face inspection WITHOUT eye contact/interaction (autism-friendly)

Hi Friends!
I wanted to make a video for those of you who are not a fan of eye contact. (I know eye contact is not an issue for everyone with ASD, but it's a common trigger.) I wanted to include people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, without excluding anyone. If I were to make another video, please, let me know what the perfect ASMR-video would be for you, as someone with ASD. If you're not comfortable sharing this on KZbin, feel free to DM me on Instagram. Thank you!

[@SensorybySophie]

I'd like to make another autism-friendly video, but with your input. If you have autism or are on the spectrum, what would the perfect ASMR-video be for you? Feel free to share in a comment or DM me on Instagram. I'd love to hear from you! 🙏

[@baileyhayes3001]

As someone with Autism, your videos are great for practicing eye contact without the chance of making someone uncomfortable. I love the face and eye exams especially. You making some autism friendly videos makes me so happy and i hope it brings others happiness too!! Thank you Sophie 💜

[@urbro123508]

I am on the spectrum leaning towards ‘high functioning’ but i always enjoyed the inspections and so on for they helped provide a safe space so possibly a safespace themed video but i know i will watch anything you upload x3

[@cyber_runner]

This is literally perfect.

[@AlmightyJeod]

Me, with autism, who love to do eye contact XD. Everyone are different and I think it's nice for you to do for other spectrum buddies! :)

[@MorriAelthyn]

THe short you did where the perspective was from inside some sort of safe fuzzy tunnel. Would love a full length version of that one.

[@MorriAelthyn]

Eye contact in videos doesn't bother me the same way eye contact in person does, because I can avert *my* eyes without "being rude" but I absolutely LOVE that you are thinking about this 💗

[@lord_ganondorf]

Same though! Having to flick eyes back and forth so I can be comfortable but not piss someone off

[@wilhelmu]

eye contact never bothered me in the videos as I always close my eyes

[@jasontodd7450]

Agrees. I'm not autistic (I don't think), but eye contact has always been an intense issue for me. Videos are different, because my brain seems to realize it's not a person in front of me and decides I can do it without being uncomfortable, but trying to look someone in the eyes irl is a challenge.

[@derp195]

Yeah, in videos, it's totally fine. In person, it feels like my head is going to explode lol

[@hotlineoperator]

I was surprised how much I liked this. I've noticed before that I prefer photos where the person doesn't look directly into the camera, but I haven't thought about the same in video before. In movies, it's natural that actors don't pay attention to the camera.

[@Ghostieeface]

The no eye contact is such a huge changer for me, it definitely made me feel much more comfortable (: for me and my autism I've always found the things that trigger me the most are being able to watch people do things, most unintentional triggers get me. I like watching people inspect objects and just rly pay attention to what they're doing, something about the focus not being directly on me is nice (:

[@yuanferr795]

Yesss me too! ❤

[@payton9947]

wait this actually made me feel so much more comfortable! i hadn’t even realized before, but the difference is very noticeable lol i love it!

[@miabieber4910]

I’m on the autistic spectrum but nothing really triggers me in a bad way I love all your videos but can appreciate that some things for Autistic people like eye contact can be uncomfortable or triggering so it’s great to see that your aware of that

[@awsomeness]

Thank you, Sophie!!! I really appreciate the no eye contact/interaction of this video. I have not been diagnosed but I have several autism symptoms, avoiding eye contact being the most obvious one. My favorite ASMR videos tend toward the no-talking, pottering around kind of videos for that reason. A fixing you roleplay where we are either a robot or an art piece are always some of my favorites!

[@joliecravy5513]

I love love love this! Maybe for the next one, you could use a pen? The scratchy, dry sound of the pencil made my skin feel itchy, but the rain in the background and the softer glove sounds, so good!!!

[@SkitzTGPG]

I have to agree. I am autistic and this video was practically perfect. The only thing was the pencil sound, thats always given me mild 'nails-on-chalkboard' jeebies. Other than that, phenomenal!

[@CocoWantsACracker]

I love that you did this and the comments show how diverse people are - both those of us on the spectrum and people in general. This video also taught me something about myself, as the lack of eye contact makes me feel ignored and uncomfortable. I guess you can't please everyone at the same time. But it is wonderful that you are deliberately creating content that is catering to the needs and desires of people who I think do not have a lot of options right now. I have nothing but respect for that!

[@dqena]

I never knew people with autism have a difficult time with eye contact, very considerate and thoughtful of you to make a video for them & I swear everytime i click on these videos it’s like i want to automatically fall asleep. Even if i’m out and about lol.

[@Yaksoup98]

Some do some don't Definitely a your mileage may vary type of deal

[@taryntubman4702]

As a mother of an almost adult child on the spectrum I appreciate this!

[@valarian4423]

My jaw actually DROPPED when I saw the tittle in my recs. You are a gift.

[@HaddieAnne]

Not diagnosed but have suspected for the last couple of years that I might be on the spectrum. This was awesome!

[@Cyb3rDReI]

Along with being super considerate, this adds an extra layer of tingles!! Some of my favorite asmr involves personal attention of looking around you, like inspecting style pov does a similar look around effect. Super relaxing!!!! ❤

[@Villain_Azilla21602]

I’m on the spectrum I was late diagnosed and I’ve been looking for asmr content that is specifically catered to people who are autistic like me so I’m grateful for this video I struggled in the past with zoning out or looking at any other object other than the person eyes

[@lexsey55]

This video made my little tizm heart so happy! I always feel forced for eye contact in real life. I enjoy the fact that i can just close my eyes and drift. Always my number 1 for comfort videos and this one is 🔥

[@conconplays]

i love this concept! also, idk if it's rain or what in the background, but it's SO relaxing

[@oliviap3035]

i am just now realizing i never enjoyed doctor rp asmr simply bc of the eye contact but this is on my nightly playlist now thank you sophie!!

[@ssjpanda8417]

Your comment just made me realize the same thing.

[@kayleesmith6848]

I think I like speaking but like no questions...just like explain what you are doing without asking me questions. I actually answer them in my head and it feels weird when your fake response to my response to your fake question doesn't add up lol

[@kelb6762]

symmetry. as someone on the spectrum, i find it tends to be key when it comes to triggers for me. if you do something on one side, i get frustrated instead of relaxed if you don't do the exact same thing on the other side the same number of times because i'll be left anticipating actions or sounds that aren't coming and when they don't come i'm left feeling unsatisfied and thus annoyed that they didn't happen. (this particular problem can also be alleviated with odd numbers however, by splitting the action/sounds evenly between both sides and then ending with the final action/sound split between both mics, but that's not always as satisfying)

[@jackr295]

Love it Sophie! Thank you for doing this video! I do sometimes find the eye contact in asmr can often make me uncomfortable as I also have autism but this one is absolutely perfect, love the glove sounds too!

[@herosendgame]

As someone who supports people with autism this is absolutely amazing to see! And as an asmr lover it's even better there should be more videos like this! Love it

[@suzellafr]

the SOUNDS in this video are especially incredible and tingle inducing. i don’t know if you edited it differently or its the no talking, but i LOVE IT

[@richardg8584]

I loved the way the sounds moved around. They were all well located in space. The background likewise. Excellent!

[@urbro123508]

I have to do a bit of groceries before i can do a nap but major thank you sophie 💜 i always loved your videos and the comfort you brought others, only hope you are just as blessed I cant wait to fully watch it later and as a high functioning (hate calling it that) i am truly greatful for the aid and awareness 💜💜

[@marije8562]

I know my brother on the spectrum really likes hearing the same sound repeated over and over again. Like he'll go back obsessively to a specific part of a movie or a particular scene in a videogame. Not sure if he watches ASMR but even if this comment isn't helpful it's still a comment to boost viewer interaction to help your channel grow because you deserve it 😘💛

[@redpandi9526]

This is absolutely amazing, as someone on the spectrum eye contact is something that makes me extremely uncomfortable. Whenever ASMR-ists give eye contact I always have to look away. It’s better cause it’s not in person, but I’m so happy I don’t have to be overly aware and can just enjoy it! ❤ thank you so much

[@Leaffrog224]

I love it when people do no eye contact. For some reason it just kinda makes me nervous and uncomfortable. Your asmr is amazing! I have a LOT of sensory issues. Like, I cant stand loud noises, smells I dont like or bad smells I hate, extremely bright lights, I absolutely can not stand chewing. It gets on my nerves so much. Like, if someone has gum and they are chewing on it with their mouth open I will literally have a sensory over load. It happened to me, and of course there were other aspects, but the girl was chewing her gum so loud for me and I stood up and grabbed my headphones I use for noise canceling.

[@HopeEternity17]

WAIT IS THIS WHY I ALWAYS PREFER VIDS WHERE THEY ARENT SOCIALIZING WITH ME??? This explains so much LOL

[@Angela-ul9si]

All I can say is that you are an amazing beautiful soul. I have an 11 yr old daughter that has these challenges and she loves stories read to her but quietly because of her sensitivity with sounds. I don’t know if that’s an idea for you or not but I thought I’d mention this. She listens to storybooks on audible and it seems to be very soothing for her.

[@CR4ZY_K1W1]

Wow, thanks so much! It sometimes really creep me out when people look at me

[@stephenvogt6689]

Thank you for the Wonderful Face Inspection Sophie I hope you have a wonderful day and week ❤😊

[@ohiovetoutdoors]

Fav by far! This is amazing and more like this please

[@Coloradoboss]

I like the writing sounds. That wind was somethin' else, eh?

[@daks1855]

I love the rain background and the gloves but miss your soothing voice talking about what your looking at. I am on the spectrum and have always enjoyed things getting organized into a grouping or a knolling effect. Something about everything fitting in a uniform square but still all grouped together in there own areas.

[@sierramarie40]

My 3 yr old is autistic. This warms my heart ❤ Was it difficult not looking at the camera this time? I think I would’ve forgotten 😆

[@HopeEternity17]

Also just an FYI to Sophie and the other commenters here - it's generally more acceptable/more humanizing to refer to someone as autistic, as opposed to a "person with autism". I'm autistic, and it's a bit uncomfortable seeing so many people talking about autistic people in such an isolating way (whether it's intentional or not, still feels icky) PS do not mean for this to come across as chastising, just pointing it out for people who may not know.

[@radioactivel1609]

I'm autistic and I say it differently every time, don't care at all. Why is it exactly you find it icky? Just curious.

[@Xer_Mrcy]

I still loved the video but no eye contact AT ALL made me feel really awkward like i was bothering you and you were avoiding trying to start a conversation 😂

[@wippenpolarimeter3738]

FIRSTTT actually the first time managing to catch a video as a first. Thank you Sophie! Saving for tonight 😊

[@III_SNIPE_III]

This is perfection.

[@PAULASMR84]

Bientôt une vidéo en français Sophie ?

[@ASMRSinichka]

Great video! I love watching your videos 🌷

[@AL-cg4vb]

For me I CANNOT do cloth sounds or anything porous like scratching on wood (like the penicl writing) or even just seeing people touch it 😭 I know these things are very specific to each one of us, but I imagine there's other autistics that also struggle with clothing/cloth sounds. Even just hearing the sound of the clothes people wear while moving makes me want to rip my gums and teeth out. So I imagine doing a variety of videos that include and exclude specific triggers would be great! I'd love to see videos that had "no ___ sounds" in the title or description would be great!

[@Sugoi163]

Thank you for this 💖

[@Esmeralda.27]

The queen of ASMR has posted again. I literally love your videos you are my favorite ASMRtist ever and I watch all your videos and I have autism so I believe all your videos are autism friendly but that's just my opinion that might not be the same way with others but I loved this video so much

[@luki_lv_]

Awesome Sophie, thank u so much 😊

[@fishface4481]

She looked me in the eye

[@TemeteDur]

c'est vraiment super 😀

[@CheesePolitics]

Being *reeeeally* close up with certain triggers seems to do a lot for me

[@FlatsRequiem27]

I love you this idea!

[@CrowReaper10]

fantastic idea to make an autism friendly video! :3

[@Uni955]

Great

[@ryala007]

Eye contact (that isn’t prolonged staring) doesn’t bother me so much in videos because it feels less intense, but I appreciate you making this for those who are much more sensitive to it! I tend to find higher pitched tapping and rattling sounds (especially involving metal) bothersome, although I don’t recall you ever using those. I also dislike when people keep repeating words / phrases or have strong vocal fry (also things I haven’t noticed from your videos). I guess generally just avoid jarring sounds and focus on things that are smooth / warm / calm? That’s just me though, can’t speak for every autistic person.

[@kairotox]

Idk if it's just me, but the eye contact thing, it's more of it being hard for me to make eye contact, I don't really care so much if other people are looking at my eyes or not. I do get self conscious about them thinking I'm avoiding eye contact though.

[@МарияСуслопарова-г5ъ]

Софи, у Вас необыкновенные глаза!!!

[@micah4953]

For me personally, as an autistic person, this was quite nice. However, for me, having no explanation of what you're doing is a tad uncomfortable. Short statements such as "I'm just gonna look at/touch your ears/scalp/nose/etc" or "I need to jot down a note" or whatever else would be greatly appreciated.

[@micah4953]

I forgot to mention introduction/gaining consent before doing things that involve touch.

[@joshuaandree9007]

I always find the sound of someone filing their nails super relaxing. Right along with crunching plastic bags, breaking glass, and fog horns. Then there’s just like this sad looking girl moving things around.

[@tonyderosso8125]

Not a big fan but good idea

[@Diegogr08]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

It's alright. I'll take it. Even if you are a windwaker character

[@Doritofeet666]

Loopdepoop

[@loeki0988]

Hi hi, not all autistic people can't deal with eye contact. Especially woman, woman look in general less autistic then man, we hide it better🤭 I love the video's of you as they are, so i can't help you 😂

[@bisexualantigone]

True, I'm an autistic woman as well. I struggle but it depends

[@Xathos]

Where is the "cocaine friendly" version?

[@Doritofeet666]

You should change your name to gg ASMR. I will shit my pants

[@IPlayDB]

Autism friendly? I didn't think that was a thing...
