autism/Neuro divergent TikTok compilation

autism/Neuro divergent TikTok compilation

[@deaddog7611]

A lot of these videos are for neurotypical people. I want videos from neurodivergent people, for neurodivergent people.

[@byrdalish]

That'd be nice, a lot of the autistic compilations I've found are alistics asking autistics questions like their young children and treating them like their stupid. The only good autistic tiktoks I've seen are from autistics themselves

[@quietlycryingostrich]

allistic means non-autistic. you can be neurodivergent w/o being autistic. you might mean neurotypical people? /gen

[@deaddog7611]

@@quietlycryingostrich yes I will change it

[@Moon-ci9ev]

Agreed

[@Nathaley]

Haha yes I had to stop watching because the video about sensory overload a few videos in started to give me sensory overload 😂 oops

[@shadowfox933]

I wouldn't ask you to stop adding sensory overload clips to your videos for educational purposes, but please at least warn us and give a timestamp to skip them

[@WhoThisMonkey]

Yep, my head is still processing all those horrible sounds. Going to go play some pink noise to wash them out.

[@chelseamiller9460]

Quick criticism: a little warning for the sensory overload part and the high pitch noise would be greatly appreciated. For anyone else starts at 2:56 and ends at 4:08

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

I was about come here and say that. I see those all the time but they never take into account that people with sensory issues (especially sound sensory issues because there’s more then that) will come across those videos 😅

[@Dani-nl2wd]

I was about to point it out too. Why put it in video for neurodivergent peeps when it irritate neurodivergent????/lh/j

[@chelseamiller9460]

Yeah it triggered me so I thought I should type something

[@cowabunga8922]

Thanks for the warning! I didn't see it before I saw that clip and it really overloaded me. Some of these compilations that people make sometimes don't really take into account what is in the videos compared to their audience (ie. loud/ high-pitched noises, flashing effects, etc).

[@courtnrysalamone7677]

I wish I saw this before I threw my phone across the room because I wasn't expecting it

[@-elliott-averagedragonenjo1812]

Can we please get a TW for the sensory overload video? I feel like this entire video is just meant for neurotypical people.

[@mathilda6763]

I skipped that part of the video.

[@natia7652]

That sensory overload video ugh 😣

[@DarkRelm22]

yeah ok, no, sorry. I'm not watching anymore of that simply because of the sensory overload video. You have ignored our pleas for understanding when you put in content like this which makes it effectively impossible to continue. If these are FOR nuerodivergent people then DON'T do this. OR label them for how this really is.

[@PIB2000]

I disagree. That video is meant to show to neurotypicals how we perceive noise. For a lot of people with sensory processing disorder, this is definitely how things can feel. I'm autistic, and this is probably the closest I can get to an accurate representation of how I hear things.

[@CatsinHats4]

​@@PIB2000 Yes the videos are educational but I think the issue is that it's triggering for neurodivergent people watching the video. It seems like a lot of people have had an issue with the sensory videos being in the compilations. I've seen some people suggest just putting a timestamp so neurodivergent people can skip the video without being triggered but the person who puts these videos together seems to be ignoring everyone's complaints on the matter. Which to me shows that these videos aren't really for us as neurodivergent people but instead for neurotypical people. Which wouldn't be an issue except it's not labeled that way. If these compilations were truly about spreading information and being inclusive for neurodivergent people, especially autism, then they'd be listening to the actual autistic people giving feedback and trying to fix the problem. It's not hard to put a timestamp or a disclaimer in the video so if they can't even do that, do they even really care? As for me, that high pitched noise really hurt my ear and it came without warning. It would've been nice to know ahead of time so I could at least turn down my volume. Edit: out of the 24 comments (not counting mine and the one random reply that's not showing up for me), 14 of them are complaining about how the sensory video was an issue for them and how it's an issue in general. Just wanted to put how much it's affecting people into perspective.

[@Achilles_tendon]

2:58 I get that sometimes, never knew it was called a sensory overload though.

[@jackskydragon_JW]

About sensory overload, school was awful. Full of noise and chatter and stimming from other kids simultaneously. Sometimes people would make rithmic noises between all that or when people become quiet all of suddenly. I took me some time to realize that noises like the mechanical pencil unneeded clicking for example and other noises were stimming from other people and habits out of stress. I tried to focus on rithmic noises some times. There was many a kids in my class that were kinda good in susteining their pacing, their rithm. I have no idea if all of them had battery lessons or any sort of musical leassons but they would some times create entire improvised songs together with the things around them. Like a jam season but using slapping, banging, hitting and kicking the class table and walls, using pens and pencils, water bottles, and anything at their hand to create songs. They also used whistle and rarely some of them would sing or sing soflty. Well, I know that some of them did know how to play guitar but I don't know if all of them were musically trained. But they at least did had talent and a good instinct to music and sounds. It was still very annoying and caused me sensory overload (it seems) but at least it had a pattern and was not utterly chaos. They would sometimes make songs on top of all other noises or when it was mostly silent or the class was quiet (what was more rare). They easily sensory overloaded me but at least the played sings and some of their improvising I enjoyed. The trouble in those cases was when I was stressed (wich was frequently) or when I was trying to relax or focus in something and they would make noises or more noises but like I said many times, at least it was music not unrithmic chaos. I frequently wanted to yell to people to shut up and quiet down. Be it people talking or making noises of many sorts like the noises made with mechanical pencils, I wanted to tell them to be quiet. I took some time to understand that people doing those noisy things was stimming too of some sort or at least did come from stress for example. I loved rainy days become the class would become so silent and sleepy that the class was at least a bit tolerable. (Still too many people too close and too messy and many people with unhygienic habits around all class for exemple, and other thing but at least it would be silent)

Can agree that “you don’t just throw away a gift”. 🤣

[@Catlily5]

Yeah, I have stuff I don't really want but it is special because someone gave it to me.

[@thesnep4757]

The sensory overload video one was very interesting. If that's what it's like on a day to day basis for people who have to deal with sensory overload, I feel terrible for you all. That hurt my ears and I don't have to deal with that sort of thing. That was very insightful! Though, I am sorry to all the people here who have to deal with that and didn't expect it in this video and caused them pain.

[@ellisisland3382]

Yeah that's daily stuff in a school environment. I have a problem with bright colors and so being in a school with bright red and blue everywhere sucks

[@smileyfroggyz]

TW for sensory overload video? I only watched maybe 2-3 seconds of it but it was absolutely horrible. There are also videos with loud music or screaming. So please add a TW.

[@hanaronato4477]

Can we please stop having sensory issues mixed in with these video's, for some of us it triggers sensory issue episodes of different types. Like it effects me worse than my Kid for example, of whom are both on the Spectrum.

[@congratulations-]

Thank you for giving me a sensory overload

[@Creepergirl7794.]

The sensory overload animation is very true for me. It's like every noise just becomes increasingly worse and there's no way to prevent it

[@oakland7561]

these r neurodivergent videos for neurotypical people . . .

[@seytan2393]

Ah yes, DIY sensory overload

[@Wriley_Katcoff]

For all of the people saying give a warning for sensory overload, I 100% agree. I thought I could manage with the tapping, but then the lights started screeching and that HURT so I tried to fast forward by tapping my phone but was so rushed that my phone flipped upside down and ended up going backwards instead of forwards so I saw sections of it AGAIN and it…it was very unfun.

[@WhoThisMonkey]

'instead of spreading hate you can support us.' Criticism is perceived as 'hate' then.

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Gosh, I have zero reaction to others talking unless it is to take my turn. I had no clue my face was so flat until I was in my 50s. I had no clue I wasn’t providing the nonverbals others expect.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

I could never concentrate during tests because of people tapping pencils or feet. It’s so irritating and distracting. I had to take the SATs like that and I didn’t do well because I couldn’t finish. This is 15-20 years before I was diagnosed.

[@sediaramus446]

And is that a problem? I'm sitting here hoping that you meant this as a fun joke, and that it's coming from someone in the same place, but I've learned to be cynical. Did you mean this to hurt? If you did, why? Why do you care so much where other people live? Why do you find it shameful to be comfortable with your family? What world taught you to hate people who get to do what they love? What's wrong with being an artist? What's wrong with living at home? I live on my own. I have my own apartment with my own bills that I pay for by working. I don't begrudge anyone the ability to be in a place with a family they love. I'm just glad they feel safe. If you meant this as a joke, I'd request you find a new repertoire. Try puns. They're not original, but they'll get a similar reaction without hurting others. If you were simply being rude, I'd like to suggest that you take a closer look at yourself. Check out your moldy cottage cheese with a side of honey mustard and off-date ranch attitude, and shut up until you've learned that other people aren't jokes to be laughed at. Thank you for your future consideration.
