ASMR | Neurodivergent Affirmations From Your Autistic Friend :)

Hello, my friends! Welcome back!
I'm sure this concept has been done before, but I always liked affirmation videos and since I'm autistic myself, I thought it might be nice to have some affirmations for my fellow neurodivergent friends! This is probably mostly targeted at other autistic people because that's what I know most about, but I'm sure it can apply to others as well. Either way, come hang out with me! :D
I'm thinking that I'll try and do weekly uploads every Sunday at 6pm EST. If I can keep up with that. Fingers crossed. :)
***Edit from the future! I made a "part 2" of ND Affirmations, so if you're looking for another similar video, the link is below! :)

Hey friends! Just wanted to let you know that if you like this video, I've just made a part 2! Link below! ☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znfcp6ygj5mKr80

[@silverstar7187]

"No need to look me in the eyes, I know you're listening." That- that's something I needed to hear. I can never understand why you need to look directly at someone to listen to them *with your ears*

[@RunkarooASMR]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Firefly_the_Ghoul]

Ah yes, it’s like you’re ears main function is to ✨listen✨ lol

[@EWlover]

I used to get in so much trouble for not watching, EVEN IF I LISTEN (I doodle to focus)

[@Yeettube2777]

Omg fr 😭

[@sleepingmewty]

I find I can process and hear better when I’m not using my eyes. So I’ll close them or look away or unfocus them. Feels like a only one sense allowed at a time situation.

[@xorwr]

im diagnosed autistic but my family is still in denial and can be very ableist at times so i really needed this video and to hear these things, thank you so much :)

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that, but I'm glad my video could help some. ❤️❤️

[@totallynormal5690]

I can relate and they still don’t accommodate to my needs sensory wise like at all and they tell me to just suck it up because I’m high functioning and I’ve never had these problems before(I have I’ve just been masking)

[@Jacebanana]

Aw man that's terrible, I hope it gets better for you :)

[@RomeoChessGameVlogs200]

Yeah same here I’m autistic as well and sometimes my family can’t help me calm down but I self calm so I’m glad you are doing this for many autistic people out there

[@connieluvr]

@@totallynormal5690 Yes fr it’s so frustrating

[@FamKamASMR]

For ages, I've been on the hunt for videos like this from someone who also lives with Autism and therefore understands the struggle first hand. They're so hard to come by! This is incredibly relaxing and reassuring. 😁

[@RunkarooASMR]

Ahhh well hello and welcome! I'm so glad you found me and enjoyed the video. ☺️☺️

[@jaykay030]

Personally I can also recommend lovely asmr s, he has some specifically talking about autism and he's been at it for a while so if you don't like his current stuff you might like what he did when he was younger

[@midlandstrainspotting]

As an autistic person I've never really been able to tolerate ASMR due to the increased sensitivity and would have to stim for a while to get rid of that weird feeling, but for some reason I find this video ok. I don't have that weird feeling when I'm watching this and I found this quite relaxing. Thank you

[@RunkarooASMR]

I can totally understand how ASMR would be overwhelming for some! But I'm glad you enjoyed this video. 🥰

[@psst_iSeeDeadPeople]

Omg… as someone w diagnosed SPD, ADHD, and GAD, this is SO nice. Especially the reassurance ❤

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so happy to hear that! ❤️❤️

[@purpleghost0822]

damn bitch you got the whole collection/j

[@No_Bitches69420]

I wish I had people that understand me like her I know I'm not diagnosed for ADHD or autism or anything like that but these asmrs always make me feel like I am included so thank you I also can never make eye contact with anyone unless I'm really close with them. I'm sorry I just realized how long that was😭

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad I could make you feel included. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@achilleus9918]

this video is lovely - and i especially love that it's so casual and is framed like a conversation/two people hanging out - i find affirmation videos often just feel fake and awkward to me because of the repeated sentences and how unnatural it is to have someone just repeating the same things over and over. this feels genuine, and i really like it.

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for this lovely comment. ❤️❤️

[@sabrinahale3810]

Thank you for this. I felt like I was in the company of a friend. Also Shark is cool. I like Shark.

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad you liked it! ❤️ I want to make another video like this hopefully soon. And shark says thank you. ❤️🦈

[@shawnthefriendlymonster9480]

Autistic people are friends NOT FOOD.

[@serpentthecrow2986]

I'm self-diagnosed since I am not currently able to get a diagnosis because of my ableist family, but this vid really helped me cause it makes me feel so understood, which is really comforting. btw i also have a special plushie, even though he's only tha classic ikea teddy bear but I've had him for almost all my life. Thank you for this video.❤❤❤

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so sorry about your family, but I'm happy my video was able to help a bit. 😊 (Shark sends his love to your teddy bear.)

[@madmaxxx01]

I have sensory processing disorder and this video is just so comforting and validating, I have a special plushie too! His name is Bubbles and hes a dolphin, I think him and shark would get along❤ anyways, thank you for this comforting video, just subscribed!

[@RunkarooASMR]

This makes me so happy! One of my previous sleeping stuffies was a dolphin as well hehe. ❤️☺️

[@Paphi]

Gosh I wanna cry. I didn't know how much I needed this, thank you. I wish my parents would just tell me only a fraction of what you said. Just.. Just to tell me that it's ok for me to be myslef. I'm 26, I was diagnosed ADHD and high functioning anxiety disorder a long time ago, and ASD only last year. It's so weird, they accept it very well, but they always criticize when I voice my struggles or/and when I stim. For my parents it always was "walk or die", no inbetween. I wish they could see how much it hurts me. (We already discuss, but nothing came of it.)

[@RunkarooASMR]

Sending you all my love! Your parents may never be the people you need them to be, but just know there are people out there who will love and support you exactly the way you are! ❤

[@maxwell-cs2ne]

i cant believe i’m finding this just now but i’m so glad i did. i haven’t really been officially diagnosed (by a middle school psychologist years ago lol) but recently ive come to terms with the fact that i am most definitely neurodivergent in some way, and so many things are just making sense now. it’s definitely a struggle and a lot to process, but this is helping so much. thank you for uploading this

[@RunkarooASMR]

Virtual hugs! I'm glad my video was able to help. Sending you lots of love! ❤️☺️

[@qwertyliciousdefinicious]

That shark looks like it’s really great for huggin’ or just when you need a certain texture just to touch for good sensory stimulation 😌

[@RunkarooASMR]

I can confirm that he is indeed excellent got hugging. ☺️

[@3005511]

This is so validating, calming, and relaxing. Being on the spectrum myself, it’s made making friends very hard…I’ve always been weird/eccentric and have never really known how to keep a conversation going with most people (save for a few), which makes me feel bad about myself. And sometimes on rare occasions I even go nonverbal. A lot of people just don’t understand it. But, this video makes it a little better ❤ Thank you!!

[@RunkarooASMR]

Sending you lots of love! I'm so glad my video was able to help even just a little. ❤️❤️❤️

[@the_thing.is_back]

I come back to this video when im upset cuz i very much need these type of affirmations and attention, this helps me very much all the time, especially tonight i cant sleep alone and everyone fell asleep before i was able to call anyone now ive been sitting here wide awake, alone for 4 and a half hours and in an hour and a half is sunrise

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad you can find comfort here. That means so much to me. I hope you were able to get some rest. ❤️

[@DrummerrDuckie]

Newest favourite asmrtist and instant sub! This hit so deep on multiple levels, I really needed this without knowing it. My mom can get a bit overwhelming sometimes and will demand I look directly at her when she's trying to have a serious conversation with me. She hates when I'm not looking at her and has accused my non-verbal episodes to be stonewalling and manipulative towards her. Even after discovering what non-verbal episodes are, she'd still demand I push through it and respond. It was such a simple but powerful and validating thing to hear "you don't have to make eye contact with me, I know you're listening", so thank you for that. The happy hand flapping and rocking were spot on for my own personal stim list, and it felt so nice to hear that they're okay and could even be cute to some people. I think I've actually only just realized that I'm way more insecure about stimming in front of other people. All of my friends are online and have never seen me in person, unfiltered by my push to talk button or hidden by me keeping my webcam off. They don't see or hear the full extent of my stims, and I worry how weird, strange, and off they might think I am if they did. Plus, me being trans and having a lot of dysphoria towards my voice can make my trilling stims a bit painful sometimes -- my voice gets too high for my liking when I trill, and I get super self-conscious if others hear it. I'm in my 20s and still not financially able to move out and away from my mom. She doesn't like or allow me to take naps and forces me to stay awake to "keep a proper schedule" when she doesn't even understand my biological clock. I often wonder how much more energized and productive I could be if I had full control of my sleep schedule and could do even noisy chores in the dead of night- god I'd love to live alone, then I could also start streaming without my mom constantly calling me. My friends occasionally bring up how often I'm forced to afk because of her needing me to bring her water or make her soup, bring her pills- super simple and mundane things she could just do herself, especially when she already knows that I'm busy. I do have noise cancelling earphones! They're galaxy themed and match a hoodie, t-shirt, mask, sketch book, and bowling ball I have that are all galaxy themed, too 💖 I also put a galaxy theme on my google chrome, which makes the light a little bit dimmer and easier on my eyes. I should stop rambling now. I've listened to this video twice while typing and it's already almost 7am. I should try to get _some_ sleep before my mom forces me up. Thank you so much for the kind words and validation so many of us need to hear. It's truly appreciated beyond words that my silly 7am brain could possibly think up, but don't forget that all those words apply to you, too. You are just as worthy, valid, lovable, and unbelievably fantastic, so thank you for sharing these amazing vibes of yours 💚💙💜

[@RunkarooASMR]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! These types of comments mean so much to me, and I'm so happy the video was helpful for you. ❤️ Sending you lots and lots of love and warm wishes!! :)

[@tmilovu]

I suspect I have autism, but I never went anywhere to get my diagnosis, and this video made me feel at total peace

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad I could help!

[@shugochararox100]

this entire video is just a plethora of things i have probably needed to hear for the past 20 years (without even realizing...?). It's a bit scary to feel so safe and seen, to be honest, but it's important too ♡ ps... pls give Shark lots of pats for us, hes such a lad!! Sharks are a major comfort to me (if that makes sense lol), so it was extra sweet to see him hehe 💞🦈

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad I was able to say those things for you! 🥰 And Shark sends all his love! ☺️🦈

[@BeowulfandMelody]

First 3 minutes I broke out in tears... I don't even know why... Thank you for this. You're awesome

[@RunkarooASMR]

You are so very welcome! ❤️❤️❤️

[@rottedbug]

these affirmations and safe space are helping me allow myself to discover and be who i am and at least for a moment forget about needing to do anything other than what i like, what's natural for me. just for these minutes i can forget everything i've been taught and not care about everyone else's feelings seeping into everything around me making me ashamed and scared, i can leave that all behind. thank you.

[@RunkarooASMR]

This is so lovely, thank you for sharing.

[@RunkarooASMR]

[@SandyCrabs]

I was diagnosed with ASD a few years ago and the people in my life are accepting of the fact I am on the spectrum, but they wholeheartedly believe that the symptoms i am showing of ASD (such as burn out or stimming) are completely false and that i’m faking it all. In fact they’ve said i’m being over dramatic so often i actually start to question myself so this was very comforting to hear, thank you! ☺️

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm sorry that is happening to you, but I'm glad you can find some comfort here. :)

[@joanofarcreal]

using this as a way to infodump about my comfort item -- it's a wristband! i know that's kind of a "weird" (or i guess uncommon) thing to have but it's a silicone bracelet with a couple different MCR logos on it - MCR is my special interest, i havent had the chance to see them live yet because the closest they came to my city during the 2022/2023 tour was milton keynes and i wasnt able to travel that far :( anyway i'm wearing the wristband pretty much 24/7 and it's good to fidget with too

[@RunkarooASMR]

Not weird at all! I love that! I hope you get to see MCR someday soon! ☺️

This video genuinely was so great and just.. wow. The affirmations were perfect, they all just hit. Especially the ones about stimming, since when I stim I get a lot "haha you move funny" or "stop it that's annoying/embarrassing " so it was so refreshing to just.. like a casual thing - be told its nice! I also looooveee the plush!! The shark is adorable! I have one too, it's a bear tho. Thank you so much for this!!

I am diagnoses with adhd and have been since 4th grade. I think I could be autistic but don’t know how to have that conversation with my parents. When im alone I can tell I am a little different from other people, but when im around others I can fit in more and that makes it feel like im not neurodivergent *enough* to be allowed to call myself that and I feel like im lying watching this video. Does anyone else feel like that sometimes is this normal?

when you reassured us about stimming, i was over the moon!! every time i start stimming in school, people stare at me and my friends tell me to stop being weird and people call me things like special or words which i cant say in the comment section, so i just got so used to masking and i've had to find other ways to let out my emotions like clicking pens or tapping my foot. it helps but its not what i really need to do and after a while it doesn't help and i have to excuse myself. its not fun and i'm so sorry for anyone who relates, feel free to vent in the replies and remember just be you, other people's opinions don't really matter because in about 10 years time or so, are you even still gonna remember their name?? are they gonna remember yours?? stay safe y'all xx

[TW EMOTION DUMPING OR BASICALLY A VENT] Thank you i am not autistic or diagnosed but i have bad sensory issues and i just overall have meltdowns when things dont go my way or ppl dont fespect my sensory needs. and they dont let me bring my semsory stuff without shame. Amd they thing im being like im better than everyone but really im just trying to calm down ao i dont get angry and meltdown on ppl. So i just try my best not to do anything ppl find annoying or tiring. 😢 bc i dont like it. but when i do any little bondries like not eating near me or leaving to calm down im the uptight girl 😭 like i only say eating when i cant leave the area. Sorry about dumping but i really have nobody to talk to that gets me and idk what to do honestly. I cant cry or get mad so i just grit my teeth and take it and wait to meltdown at home. even then i still stuggle to calm down and little things make me explode. Like textures and things not working (computer phone or me) I feel so alone. I do feet shaking and hand flapoing only alone bc i cant do it with others. i dread going in public. I have zero friends only peers rarely. And i just struggle to make friends no matter how much they like me or think im cool. im always not close or just left out. And idk why even if i try be "normal" like stop dressing a certian way and try to blend in im not 😭 if ur reading this i need advice

It makes me cry a little bit, but it's ok, i love crying. I just wanted to say i love your asmr. Thank you for doing it. 🌬️ P.S. I never write comments, so this action made my hand shaking as hell, but i wanted to write it so badly, i just couldn't resist. Sorry for possible mistakes 💀

I've not been diagnosed but I think I'm definitely neurodivergent to some extent. Work was stressful for me yesterday and I felt just overloaded by it all and like I was shutting down a bit last night and this morning. Not shutting down as people usually do tho but I think you understand what I mean. This definitely helped me calm down, thank you :))

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so glad this was able to help you some. I can definitely relate to that feeling. ❤️

[@symori983]

Awwwww I also have a special plush, he is a rabbit and I affectionately call him Rabite

[@RunkarooASMR]

I love that! So cute! 😊

[@de72486]

Hi I’m autistic and the shark is cozy ❤️ I always loved sharks but also would hate to be in the water with them

[@RunkarooASMR]

Oh my god! I love sharks! Here are some fun facts if youd like Whale sharks are the biggest and they grow up to 40ft tall, if a shark embryo develops teeth in the womb they will eat their siblings, basking sharks go through 2,500 gallons of water a hour and eat up too 100 fish a day. Meglajaw sharks where discovered in 1975 and since then there's been 43 reported sightings, sharks have special organs called electro receptors which can detect pressure changes in water and temperature changes! Whale sharks also give birth to 700 pups a liter and Greenland sharks have been alive for both world wars *

[@RunkarooASMR]

I love everything about this comment! Thank you for the shark facts!! I was particularly blown away by the 700 whale shark pups. Holy cow!

I got him many many years ago at the aquarium gift shop in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!

[@xander9740]

[@RunkarooASMR]

Aww greetings from one shark to another! :)

[@lesbianrockstar]

I don't know why I typed this out but it took a long time typing this so here.I am selfdiagnosed with autism. I have a problem that my school showed me that will probably make nuerodrigverts(I don't know how to spell it 😨) feel bad,, whenever I talk I need them to look at me :(

[@RunkarooASMR]

Virtual hugs. It's okay, we all have our stuff. ❤️

[@d0gbonezz]

hii i was wondering what your pronouns are? i was just wondering because i didnt want to possibly misgender you whilst admiring your content!! :)

[@RunkarooASMR]

Aww thank you! She/they is fine, but I'm not too picky. As long as you're nice, i don't really care what you call me haha. ☺️

[@d0gbonezz]

@@RunkarooASMR thank you so so much for letting me know!! ^^ i love your content so so much. it helps me sleep quite a bit!!

[@RunkarooASMR]

@@d0gbonezz that's so lovely to hear! I'm glad you like it. 🙂

[@HorsehidePaddy]

It kind of sucks when you are undiagnosed (im 36) and no other autistics will talk to you because of that,other than my cousin who is diagnosed.makes me feel very alone.

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm so sorry you've had to experience that. You're always welcome here.

[@emerycorner]

A SHARK? /pos

[@RunkarooASMR]

YEAH. 😃🦈

[@PoeticNugget]

“You don’t have to talk or anything.” “You don’t have to make eye contact with me-“ Thank you, I know you will never technically see me and ever know me but I needed that ❤️‍🩹

[@RunkarooASMR]

You are so welcome, I'm happy to help.

[@mypooptube]

Thank you.
