What autistic people want you to know: The autism spectrum is not linear and doesn't go from severely autistic to a bit autistic. These terms are not accurate. Instead, it refers to a unique combination of traits. For example, I have high social difficulty and very intense special interests but relatively mild sensory issues. Another autistic person may have more intense sensory issues and strong need for routine but not really struggle with eye contact. (I have selected a few traits, both of us of course have many, many more traits). Neither of us is any more or less autistic than the other. Neither of us is "further on the spectrum" than the other. Sometimes it might be more obvious that someone is autistic because they have more of the stereotypical and externalised traits, but fewer of the internalised and less stereotypical traits, but this doesn't make them more autistic. Thank you for reading and I hope this helped you learn. Edit: Firstly, I'm amazed and so grateful that this comment reached so many people. Secondly, I wanted to point out that support needs, and levels 1-3 autism, do exist. However, just because a level 3 autistic person needs more support, it doesn't make them more autistic, because level 1 autistic people usually have more internalised struggles that cannot be outwardly supported. Also, support needs are not fixed and can/will change throughout a person's life.

You explained that perfectly well and thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@lisadaniel5200]

Thank you!

[@bunnysm]

Thank you for the explanation. I guess we put that definition by measuring how much all these traits combined affect the ability of the autistic person to function in the society without assistance. It's crude, but I guess this is what parents are most concerned about - that their child will be able to thrive in the society when they are gone. My nephew is autistic and at at the age of 7, he speaks like a 2-year-old. We pray that one day he would be able to express himself just as well as you did in your comment, but we know that, even if possible, it will require much work to achieve.

[@naomiparsons462]

@@bunnysm That is good point about the combined effects of traits on "functioning" in society, although this in itself is an ambiguous term. Someone who has a full time job, a romantic partner and communicates so that they appear neurotypical might be considered high-functioning, whereas they might be in constantly high anxiety about masking their autistic traits so that their mental health is very poor and maybe they have meltdowns at home, which might feel like they are functioning pretty badly. I guess the term "high-functioning" is used to mean that the person's autism doesn't affect other people that much - but it affects themself greatly. I wish the best to your nephew and hope you are all well. ❤️ It may seem like I'm good at communicating in writing, but my verbal communication is a different story. 😂

I am an autistic adult female and I was diagnosed almost a year ago. As a child, I always knew I was different from other kids but I wasn’t sure why. It is hard to diagnose autism in females because of masking, and I do mask my symptoms especially when I’m in public. The signs that I had autism were lack of eye contact, sensitivity to sound, poor coordination, dislike of having my hair touched, obsession over certain topics, sensitivity to food textures, struggle to read facial expressions, struggle with tone of voice, speaking loudly without realizing it, hand flapping (I don’t flap my hands as much now but I did it a lot as a kid), pausing constantly when speaking, stuttering, and I also have social anxiety. I am also very uncomfortable around crowds of people and I hate public speaking.

My friend also has the😮 same as an adult female. But is massively successful has relationships, not socially limited. And says its all due to masking. But part of me wonders how that is different to anyone else whos had to learn to overcome their difficulties to fit into society. As an accomplished adult im wondering what difference it would make for her in terms of support? Did you get much more supoort that changed your life as an adult thats already learned to be in this world?

[@LorisBenedict]

So glad you got diagnosed. I'm in my 60s and would like to be diagnosed. For the simple reason; I am sick of people telling me how to act, think, and feel. I have spent my ENTIRE life trying to mirror people and act "normal". I've come to the realization that my brain doesn't work that way. To make things worse, I was raised in a dysfunctional family, and we're probably all on the spectrum. I know now that it's not just me who has to adjust. The people who don't understand me need to do some research and stop trying to change other people to suit their preferences. Unless someone is criminally unhinged and dangerous, let them be themselves. We deserve to feel comfortable and secure as much as anyone else. Live and let live❤

He is now a doctor of mathematical physics a chartered physicist has a partner and own property and is quite social and very kind. He still can't ride a bike, it took me 6 months when he was a baby to get him acclimatised to the local swimming pool and when small he had to leave the room when the vacuum cleaner was being used.

I saw signs of autism in a friends baby 50 years ago. I passed on my knowledge to the childs mother. She was totally on denial and claimed if there was a problem the childs pediatrician should have spotted it. I said if the doctor spent only a few minutes with the child it was unlikely the doctor would spot it unless she brought up her concerns. Consequently nothing was done until child was school age and the mom refused to allow further tests. The child grew up and despite doing well in class subjects was unable to get hired for anything more than a supermarket checker. He was also unable to live independently due to social and financial reasons. I understand nowadays mandatory autism testing is done at three years of age which means children get extra help earlier. I hope with the consciousness of autism increasing that advances in treatment will continue.

Intro comment: I am high functioning, artistic, I once was called Asperger’s. First of all autism is not a defect. The word autism covers a wide spectrum, which has been acknowledged. You do have it where the child is disabled and often grows into a disabled adult. However, for the majority of people, such as myself with autism it is both a gift and a curse. My senses are higher, and can easily become overwhelmed. I have studied what is normal. Otherwise I would not understand or be able to speak about the differences. I can feel the energy in a room. It is easy to become overwhelmed for me because I cannot multitask. I think in pictures, colors, motion, and sound. It is not possible for me to gather the words to describe how I think to other people. I have studied words so that I can express myself. I cannot learn anything if it doesn’t make sense. Therefore, I must have understanding, school teachers in general have little understanding of what they are teaching. Whereas, when I went to a school where they had college professors that had retired, but didn’t want to stop working. Their approach was 180° different. They were questioning people. They wanted to understand and this is what was important the thinking process. I was able to learn. I did not talk until I was about five years old. When I started to talk, I remember comments about my vocabulary and my speech being adult not a babies. This is simply because I had to understand the words in order to speak to them. When I studied the origin of different words and how they evolve I became better at speaking. Access to words, is part of my syndrome and the spectrum that I’m on. Autism being a blanket word for multiple conditions, which have aspects in common. I will be in a conversation or a monologue more often, and I’ll say a word which I do not know. I will stop and say say to myself and sometimes out loud, "I don’t know where that word came from?" I will look it up. And it turns out to be a word that is perfect for this description or to say what I was trying to say. What I have come to the conclusion is that during my study of words, I learned that words. It stayed in my mind. When I needed it, it was there. I have great frustration with Therapy. Therapist do not have an understanding of autism. They work from their relation to the world, and what the schools taught them by people who wrote the books with never experiencing autism, and even less understanding. The only word we have is fear for some of the reactions. I want to go into a museum. I come to the door, but I can’t go through. The emotion is translated into the word fear. But it is more primal and pure than the word fear describes. I know there’s nothing on the other side that’s going to hurt. In fact, I’m anxious to go in and see what is on the other side. But the act of going through that door repels me. Having a Service Dog helps. It does not stop the emotion, but I’m able to focus on the dog, not the door. This leads me to extrapolate, there’s something, very primal, and basic in the animal emotional wiring that is protecting the animal from the situation of going through a door or an opening an entrance an egress. Among my weird symptoms since each one of us is totally unique our combination of symptoms and the degree of each symptom is different. With a commonality being primitive nervous system. This is why we can understand animals. This is what made Miss Temple able to design and help an animal husbandry, making it easier to handle animals under stressful situations. She is able to see what the animal sees. She is able to feel what the animal is feeling. The nervous system that we have lost because was not needed. Just like there’s some animals that are extremely skittish from birth with their nervous systems wired too tight. Everything you say is correct, from the standpoint of what I call normal. Someone without a third eye that can see in a third ear that can hear what an autistic person is actually going through. Part of the waving of the hands, the repetitive motions, is the autistic child or adult trying to calm themselves because of the confusion and not understanding what is around them. Is a distraction from what they cannot express. In my case, I was able to work through my struggles. I spent most of my life going to psychiatrist analysts and anybody else I thought could help try to help me navigate through life, which is totally overwhelming me. The last person I went to, worked with autistic children, and adult adults. I came in one day and she looked at me and said I spent the entire weekend going through every note and compiling it. She told me nothing is wrong with me. I’m just autistic. She doesn’t know why she didn’t recognize it sooner. She should’ve realized it when I told her about the party that I was driven to, and I ended up sitting in a tree watching everybody. To the fact that one friend in particular pointed out that we will be having a conversation and I’ll suddenly stop. Change the subject. Then days, and sometimes weeks later. I’ll pick up the conversation where I stopped is if I never stopped the conversation in the first place. She said she loves it because it is so uniquely me. Acceptance, this is the most important word in the world of an autistic person. It is not for the world to accept us. We must accept the world. This means that there will be things I’ll be constantly coming to that. I do not understand, that I must make myself accept without understanding. Then later, I will find a time to try to understand if it is something that’s required. Or I will put it out of my mind and it no longer exist or irrelevant to me. Another aspect which I found surprising. My perception of time, is not linear. It oscillates it moves and it will fold on itself. This makes Einstein theories easy to understand for me. It also, made it possible, without the background or the foundation required, to understand quantum physics, I’m able to visualize it. I’m not gonna go on any further because I’d have to write a dissertation, like to go on to one more aspect of my Asperger‘s, which is a downside, and a continual frustration. There are areas that are beyond me. I’m unable to understand or grasp. When I had the week, long IQ test, covering all subjects and areas of intelligence, I had one score that was below 50 and a couple others that were low, with the highest and lowest score thrown out I average 130 something. Those low scores are an areas that I find as road blocks and a constant sense of frustration. Because if not for those low spots, I would have been able to do more than just grasp the theories of things, but be able to actually understand and do. Math, is one of the low areas. I can understand the theories, but simple math. I’m constantly making mistakes. I find it so very hard. At the same time, I see your mouth is beautiful. It has order. There’s a rhythm to it. Every indication is telling me that it should be easy. But it’s not. Welcome to the world of autism. Just one of millions of variations within the blanket, "autism spectrum" which covers several related and similar conditions, some of which are disabling. The individual is trapped in the world. They’re unable to understand or perceive. And we are blind and deaf to this world. We cannot possibly help because we do not understand ourselves. What is actually going on? Even I, an autistic person can only go so far before the the imaginary force field prevents me from going any further.

The teacher gave me a B because of that, although I answered correctly. 😞 I never forgot about this, and I was just a kid. I am pointing this single incident out, because it is something that happens to me always, everyone else has a "normal" experience with things, but for some reason I have to do Extra things to earn the same results than others.

Bullshit. Stop spreading misinformation. Autism is caused by a wobble or vibration in the sway dampener during assembly, which typically results from a out of round sway nut, but could also be a stretched dampener frame (from thermal shock, especially in hot climates). This wobble can be observed directly ("stimming") but it transfers throughout the system causing various other issues with sensitive parts, for example, it can eventually shake the rotor pump mount loose, and almost always damages the pneumatic manifold valves. Models made prior to 1967 used a fixed swing frame instead of a sway carriage, which is why autism seems to be a more recent phenomenon - it is - although there could be similar issues caused by other things sometimes.

ASD is not a linear spectrum, and depicting it as such just adds to the already daunting amount of harmful misconceptions and misunderstandings about ASD. It's more commonly depicted as a multi-axial spectrum often shown as a color wheel with common features of ASD around the circle, indicating the mix of different aspects of ASD that we have in varying degrees and that are often expressed in different ways. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and hoping that's an honest mistake rather than willful misinformation, but it's something you can find on the first page of a Google search about modern understanding of ASD, so its something you should've caught if you're doing research for a video like this. There's a few other errors in here, but you do include some more modern facts about ASD, such as acknowledging the under diagnosis in women due to adaption to the different social pressures/environments, so I'd like to give you props for that, but this the info/content in this video needs some work. If you'd like to get a contemporary understanding of ASD, I'd recommend watching videos from late diagnosed ASD and AuDHD individuals like "I'm Autistic, Now What?", Autism From The Inside, Autistic AF, Mom on the Spectrum, and others.

agreed, I had to read the comments because I was like wait a minute, this sounds like the kind of misinformation that causes people to get missed in diagnosis lol and the solution to "fix" it as if it needs to be fixed rather than recognized as a different nuerotype seems outdated to. The information wasn't completly wrong but left a lot out to the point that some might not realize they could be autistic by watching this video and feeling they don't quiet fit it while others may recognize some of whats mentioned in the video as relatable. The solutions to fix it though is what I disagree with. Maybe I still don't understand enough about it myself but I've learned a lot more than whats just in this video and ABA therapy and drugs to fix it seem wrong to me. Seems to not have a full of understanding of why the behaviors occur to begin with. Its understandable why people don't understand it with all the myths out there about it .

Thank you so much for your explanation of what the spectrum indicates. It is misunderstood by so many, even professionals in the mental health fields.

[@PrincessDevine]

Unfortunately a diagnosis for ASD does not necessarily mean that the treatments listed will in fact be offered. In my and my family’s experience it is a postcode lottery and funding red tape. These difficulties accessing the services have led to a massive regression and a poorer quality of life for my family member. Only when the powers that be couldn’t deny how vulnerable my family member was/is did any support appear. My family member was diagnosed at 3. Fortunately myself and my daughter had an awareness of ASD prior. My family member is a child of 12. The diagnosis was swift and undeniable. There needs to be better support for all , everywhere.

I believe that autism is caused by a failure of healthy connection with caregivers, I mean the disfunction is the connection and not in the child. The reality of the child is not mirrored back to them acuratly and so the child is left with two options: atune to the reality of others to survive or try and live in their own bubble creating a desorganised and confusing reality wich can lead to anxiety, ocd and other problems. They can not tolerate a lot of stimulus because it confuses them because their sense of reality is fragile. What in my opinion people with autism need is interaction with healthy autentic loving people who can attune to their sensitivity and mirror back to them their reality, bonding with animals is also extremely beneficial ❤

This video is an example of a neurotypical approach to neurodivergent science. Respectful, reflects the research done primarily by neurotypical people, and as a result, is largely invalid. The medical model of autism, from its foundation, is rooted in the concern of identifying and correcting childhood behavioral differences. To draw a comparison, an American of fair skin and European descent could earn a doctorate in African American studies, but what if nearly all of African American history were written by fair skinned descendants from Europe? Would it be accurate to say they "know" the African American experience?

[@ethxo6734]

I disagree with dismissing the concerns associated with the vaccines as number of vaccines recommended by the CDC have increased 5x. As a general best practice I think vaccines should be spaced out and given one at a time so that you can lessen any adverse effects. Fever is a common side effect and a normal response of the body to vaccines but when you dose the body, especially that an infant, the body can turn against itself and cause brain damage from the fever or have a seizure, petit grand mal, which a parent wouldn’t even recognize because there is no shaking, the child is completely still. I believe never evidence is coming forth that this could account for at least a few SIDs cases. Anyways, I don’t think that the right studies are being conducted because they are funded by for profit entities.

It isnt elaborated on, but its more of the fact that for non-autistic people its something that is intuited with no conscious effort. People with ASD understand what others are thinking, but instead of being a natural reflex, has to be a conscious thought or something you vaguely predict. For example, I quite literally never think about other peoples thoughts or reactions to things I say unless relevant to the topic, or if I want their opinion on something, or when I face the consequences of saying or doing something I should not have. The other person's internal state is irrelevant until it has to be relevant. For non-autistic people, its virtually always a factor they consider.
