autism/Neuro divergent TikTok compilation

[@huntermorgan4201]

Small spoon, small fork, and much prefer bowls to plates. Bowls help you scoop things, plates do not.

[@annoyingfandragon]

Yeees bowls are friendly

[@ICANNOTFOCUS]

Bowls are best

[@NotAnymore-y3w]

LOGIC

[@moonwillowdrawsstuff3668]

I honestly started giggling when they aggressively shook the sock at the camera, i thought that was supposed to be the funny bit until i saw the video cut to them throwing it on the ground and doing jazz hands Yes, I am diagnosed with ADHD, how did you know

[@HiltownJoe]

Ok, I want to know. I am not diagnosed with anything, but highly sus, so I am not a good gauge pin. We need 200 confirmed neurotypical people of differing ages ethnics and genders and a control group of an assortment of crazy.

[@tracymcgill66]

I laughed at that as well, but to be honest I'm not surprised that I did....

[@rowanzephyr]

bionic reading would make history class so much easier

[@cymbamcreynolds8838]

Seriously! I'd fall asleep or drift off after one page. I had to read it in funny voices and accents to entertain myself enough to get thru some of the reading assignments

[@Sweaterlatethannever]

Does anyone else with ADHD and/or autism struggle with reading in the way I NEED to highlight and take frequent breaks and be deeply interested and able to connect the subject matter to my own life and experiences? Like, without connection and physical manipulation of the text to organize it, it is as good as never being read

[@floperator.v2167]

2:26 wtf who went inside my brain and pulled this out. Anytime I use a cup, or dish or really anything I spot check for unwashed grime or water spots. If something isn't spot and grime free I can't use it.

[@floperator.v2167]

Also smelling the cups and bowls and stuff is so real

[@pheomoon]

one time my spoon had something stuck on it and i had a meltdown because i didn't realize and always had the back thought like "did i just get mold in my yogurt- am i eating yogurt with mold in it?" I did not end up finishing that yogurt

[@dream_walker9726]

@@floperator.v2167 yessss

[@cocoanbella]

I feel like it's a normal thing to give things a sniff before eating/using them. That's one of humans' best senses to tell if something may make them sick. And coming from a household where some members are more thorough dish washers, I'm glad I can smell that something has a hint of mold or something rancid before I give my kid a drink in a mold infested cup.

[@St4r_Z0mb13]

Lol those plastic cups always spoiled me up

[@KimOfDrac]

I'll be 32 this year and the fact that a lot of these compilations feel so relatable when I've never even thought I could be ND is a bit shocking but explains so much. Wow... Maybe I'm just not weird

[@gracehowell.]

I was diagnosed at 31, in 2020, if that helps. Sir Anthony Hopkins was diagnosed very late in life. It's never too late for a diagnosis and all the support it can bring.

[@mordeys]

Im 55 i was 50 when my #4 child was diagnosed with adhd/autistic.. guess what Took me 50 years to realize i wasn't weird and that it wasn't my kids acting like my odd ass....all of my children are neurodivergent as well. 2 grands so far diagnosed.. so it is from me..but not because of me! Actually its probably from my Dad... hes passed but before he did when my older kids where diagnosed he suspected he and i were but because we were older and learned to mask as well as new criteria and education of symptomology we didnt get diagnosed earlier. My brother is as well as his only biological child. I think my Dads patience, understanding and teaching us to use this as gifts in a way made life easier, that's not the right word but you get it, and help me make it better for my kids. We didnt know it was a "thing" he just thought we were like him so he taught us ways to deal and excel at things. Which im sure he got from Grandma. He was an only child, not by choice, so she was very dedicated but not in a smothering way. He was surrounded by cousins and other family...which now that think about it... i need to get on the family Facebook group and asks how many of us there are.. sorry tangent. Strong families and understanding families are the way to be...

[@mordeys]

People thought i was crazy because i could fall asleep after a drinking coffee. Drinking it all day just to be able to be "humanish".

[@elizabetholson1561]

6:00 this is the audio that goes on both sides of your speaker/headphones at different times. Absolutely love this sort of ting and put it here for anyone who wants to rewatch it 😊

[@dexterdex52]

I LIKE ITTTTT EEEEEEE

[@anonymouscandle1223]

I need that as background noise for my whole life

[@mrwofferzwafflez]

I was given goosebumps and AAAAAAAAAAs

[@HiltownJoe]

The absolute betrail I felt when the silence left a hole filled with my expectations carelessly dropped to the ground. I had a viceral reaction and it was not good. You can not do that to me.

[@Acorn905]

Yay someone else that likes it! :D It sounds like someone saying the lyrics in an echoing cave :0

[@nathanmiller9381]

that damn panning audio at 6:00 always sends me into a blind rage. I cant stand it. I really like these videos but that shit always makes me want to break things and turn inside out

[@lili-1696]

yeah exactly!!

[@Acorn905]

It's so interesting to see comments like these cus i freaking loved that audio. It felt like a little rollerskater rolling around my brain holding a boombox and it was going around. I also love the "accapela" effect that it has cus it's only the voice that's playing and not the music (the music isn't bad but it sounds coller to me when its just the voice) anyways.. i hope the sound wasn't to unpleasant to you buys ';-;

[@ray_your_local_gay_1336]

My friend once told me that I was so lucky my resting face was a half smile. Meanwhile I was exhausted as hell, masking without even knowing it

[@cruztastrophe]

11:25 it looks like there are some browser extensions that you can get for this on chrome and firefox. I haven't checked any apps yet, but I primarily read things on a laptop rather than my phone.

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Oh my goodness, accidentally using a smelly cup is so off putting… makes me go through that for a while until I get lulled into safety again.

[@nightmarishtaco3434]

Anyone else use to push their palms into their eyes (not too hard… i think) to feel the slight pressure change and see the dodgeball textures

[@DefinitelyNotNormalLol]

Bionic reading makes sense to me!

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

I had to limit my social interaction outside of work to two days a week. That was my limit. Now, older, and disabled, and every two weeks is as much as I can handle. Wish I lived in the middle of nowhere so I could go outside with the guarantee of seeing no one.

[@thesnep4757]

Ok, I'm neurotypical but I definitely go looking for the most clean bit of cutlery or something to eat out of in most cases. The sock one, that was quite amusing to me with how aggressively it was thrown on the ground.

[@safeaccount8457]

1:00 Same here, just for me, I get asked if I'm sad

[@steep9790]

Hi, some words are very hard to make out, can you add captions?

[@jelen2579]

I still use the spoon and fork I had when I was little 😭, it's very important, a treasure to me

[@reeree4755]

Omg 1:48 yes. Someone gets it. I just can't with dryness

[@MsKathleenb]

Waiting for Amazon to add bionic reading to Kindle...

[@HiltownJoe]

The background music in the first one totally killed my attention to the point that half of the talking was just white noise for me.

[@luminafrost644]

I thought I was the only one!! It was so annoying and I really wanted to hear what she has to say, so I couldn’t skip it …

[@kaydenl3]

I’ve accepted that I *probably* have autism, and now I have moved on to trying to figure out if my mom is also autistic. An extra challenge, since I don’t know her brain, but it’s kind of fun. Also I have an autistic cousin so I know that it’s in my genes somewhere.

[@bean9]

The one where they are talking so fast I couldn't pay attention. I gave up. They talked too fast and my brain couldn't keep up. I struggle paying attention to people anyway so that was pain I also get the eye closed thing. I also sometimes see yellow, orange and green spots and I try to make out pictures in what I see.

[@dexterdex52]

am i the only person who eats a whole meal/food item/drink and then decides if u like it or not. because i do that with everything new i try. am i the only one?

[@Sarbearlady]

Omg I do that too

[@dexterdex52]

@Sara yay! i thought i was the obly oneee :D

[@KBinturong]

You are not alone !

[@dexterdex52]

@KBinturong🇫🇷 thank u :)

[@byrdalish]

I take it a step further and convince myself I actually like it just not how it's been made. For years. And then I'll eat it again one day (for the who knows how many times) and come to the realization that I actually didn't like it ever

[@Lucas-qd5fp]

i had to turn off 6:06 because split earphones cause me sensory issues

[@jelen2579]

Does someone know any app for the bionic reading thing😔??

[@T_P_W_ThachoZenjuan]

I feel attacked....by the whole vid. Jk But seriously, it was my life in a nutshell.

[@lazypanda6023]

2:27 You telling me that neurotypical people don't do that?! that kinda nasty ngl😬 Edit: I do those things, but I not diagnosed with anything, as far as I know, am just a germaphobe. 🤷🏾

[@SwiftKey_253]

i personally like bigger spoons, cuz we dont have those small ones. the only small spoons we have are tea spoons, and those are wayy to small for anything

[@ItzMya730]

12:40 i thought that was just me lol

[@aliceofunderland4364]

0:21 Friendly reminder: do not use the words nonverbal or nonspeaking to describe being temporarily unable to speak. This takes away from the experiences of those who are actually nonverbal/nonspeaking, and is also an incorrect way to use those words. Please use things like “speech/verbal shutdown,” “speech loss,” etc.

[@BluetheRaccoon]

Goodness, that "put a finger down" lady is overwhelmingly too much. Just...way too much.

[@snekkyboi]

hold on... are there people who DON'T check for/wipe debris off of utensils? and find the cleanest dish? and sniff their bowls and cups??

[@BahamutEx]

2:27 those are neurodivergent quirks? wow I thought it was perfectly normal to do that... :o( yes I do most of those from that specific clip)

[@widewailcorduroy7278]

Wait, what do other people see when they close their eyes? I always see a marble pattern that looks like Discovery's Mycelium Network. I thought that was normal.

[@sardemiller8758]

What is that audio at the 6-minute mark?

[@milamila1123]

5:50 Know... what?

[@grim7720]

12:26 wait seeing patterns and stuff like that isn't normal!?!?!? someone give me answers!!!! please!

[@jeng6786]

11:03 can someone find the original of that video/seminar for me to watch the whole thing??

[@snookeroonie]

What’s the music in the first TikTok called? Please :’)

[@theblinndspiral]

I knowwww using a plate and a bowl when I can just as easily use just a plate is creating more dishes for me but I’ll be damned if I let that food touch

[@swayziolkowski3425]

First 😍

[@mscoot629]

5:45 can someone please explain? I don’t understand what this is about.

[@Cottoco_]

THE JUICE ONE AHAJWGSJGS

[@AccordingToWillow]

wait do neurotypical people not get the grey patterns when they close their eyes?

[@Sl33PY_o]

12:36 Is this not normal? Like, actually curious

[@eclipse10664]

I think it's just the light through your eyelids. I may be wrong tho I was searching the comments for someone who mentioned this because I need to know

[@tracymcgill66]

@@eclipse10664 My eyes tend to do that when I'm trying to go to sleep and the lights are out. I thought everyone's eyes did that. That and the spoon one after, I don't know why I use small spoon.

12:27 do neurotypicals really see this? Black with nothing else ?

[@aliceofunderland4364]

Could we please stop lumping all neurodivergent people in the same group as though we’re all a monolith? Neurodivergent people are different, both from neurotypicals and from each other. Two neurodivergent people might have barely anything in common, sometimes even if they have the same condition.

[@amandamagni1606]

I only smell dishes/check them if I’m at someone else’s house.. And I almost ALWAYS find a dirty dish because I think I may be the only human who knows how to properly wash dishes. 🥸
