11:21 I always hated the “what’s your favourite ^blank^” because like, what do you mean? What’s my favourite movie? Do you mean animated or irl? Do you mean horror or romance? Do you mean what film has my favourite character? Or my favourite quote? There’s so many variables!!

[@thatoneidiot5108]

I got tired of trying to answer on the spot so i have a list and pre-made answers!

[@goblinguy3103]

Sending love to all the sensory seeking autistics. Those who are hyper expressive and can’t control how loud they are. Those who aren’t seen as autistic because you’re “too much”. I see you, it’s gonna be okay

[@dinosaurs_rule]

Thank you Goblin guy. It always brightens my day to see your wonderfully insightful comments

[@goblinguy3103]

1:32 it’s okay to grieve your childhood. The childhood you couldn’t have because you weren’t diagnosed/didn’t know what was “wrong” with you. It’s okay to be angry!

[@denisedarland3345]

8:16 Just in case anybody is having a hard time understanding Morgan in this clip. (which was me... it took me WAY too long to understand what she was saying. lol) She isn't saying "really diagnosed autistics". She is actually saying "We are late diagnosed autistics". Which makes way more sense. The captions are incorrect. Hope that helps. :)

[@_______Charlie_____]

thankz for clarifyin!

[@CrepuscularQueen]

The last one is incredibly relatable. I didn’t know until last year that people just wanted a simple "I'm okay" instead of a rundown of the day. My response to stay neutral but not lying to anyone asking how I'm doing is a simple "I'm alive and breathing" because "okay" or "fine" is not the truth or how I would pinpoint how I feel most times but good or bad don't fit either. (I really miss having the ability to ramble about each thing I noticed for the day)

[@deborahbulthe]

[@kwowka]

I just go ‘dying’ because people assume it’s a joke and laugh

[@adale4281]

Hey this makes me sad so I wanted to reply. Honestly I think it depends on who you’re talking to. I think you should ask people you’re close with what they mean by that bc if you miss being able to talk about your day that’s sad :(. People do genuinely want to hear about each other’s days. I know when I ask people that (really for me anywhere between my bffs to my teachers to the train conductor) I do want to hear a longer answer. I love hearing about other peoples lives. And I like to think a lot of people do too. I give people longer answers if I want to be close to them/ am not too jaded/tired that day. (For context I don’t think I’m autistic but some of my autistic friends sometime go: r u autistic too? I think I just act a bit different from neurotypical ppl because of CPTSD/PTSD)

[@thatoneidiot5108]

this reminds me of this thing i had with my friends where we would have a "what is going on" round (ruffly translated from my language) where every one of us would tell the others about our week in great detail to the point of what we ate every day and it was lovely and I miss it(((((

[@merryavant]

Well.. how is your day, friend? You can ramble

[@AceArtist22]

As someone whose recently realized they’re autistic the great in English and bad in math hit so hard because that’s been me my whole life. I would look forward to English all day but cry in math when I was overwhelmed

[@deinodinosuchus]

literally the first one was me all day today cuz i spent my whole day cleaning my room (and getting overwhelmed often) for a sleepover tomorrow, so i'd often stop to stim or just stand there rocking cuz i couldn't move 😭

[@kwowka]

About food textures… I eat pizza with a knife and fork. Same with fish and chips. Same with watermelon. I need a bowl to put an icy pole in.

[@ana.5687]

12:07 This is so relatable, most of the time I really take the time for answering with a lot of details and clarifications but it feels like a lot of energy because most ppl just forget about it or try to make small talk and don't expect a whole chunk of text or audios that last forever, this is why I kinda avoid talking too much in friend groups or about things that I like

[@Fanfic-writing-koi]

3:42 I love spicy food! One of my favorite meals and comfort foods that I eat at least twice a week is a brand of five-minute noodles that has a really nice spicy flavor. I find myself often eating it when I'm not having a good day, I had it 3 days in a row after Christmas due to how thrown off and out of routine I was😅.

Hi!!!!! Tysm for making these sweet and amazing comments! 🤗🤗💜💜🐸🐸💜💜🤗🤗💜💜🐸🐸💜💜

[@Myheartfor99centz]

This video made me feel better about me being a high functioning autistic individual. Before you get into my story: this friend I was with during the time read lots of scientific books and did research when he was bored. He is technically smart. Thing was, he thinks highly of himself and really doesn’t know things about me, keep in mind. Also, I can be a sensitive person that overthinks and has a hard time with social cues. Now onto my story: During my lunch, I asked one of my friends if he can do a test on me if I was autistic (he was mentioning stuff like what I said from the beginning, of course, the book stuff). He asked these type of three questions, like: do your eyes get blurry in your peripheral vision when you get mad? And I had a REALLY hard time understanding what he was saying, I needed a visualizer. So I went along with the test to see my results. Being told that I wasn’t autistic, My significant other was at the table we were sitting at, with him (the friend) and with me, after I took my test. I just stood silent, and was about to cry (even though it wasn’t an official diagnosis). But the reason why I was crying was for one: a meltdown, and two (basically a flashback): years at a time, I had a hard understanding of why I act so different than the others when I was a kid. And being told that I wasn’t autistic made me feel bad. And since, I bet you know where I’m going with this, and since my significant other was at the table, she was hearing my mini-test result and said “yeah, he’s right. You’re fine.” And hearing that made me not want to exist. But even afterwards, it made me feel like I can’t talk about anything with people after that. But overall, this video made me feel a tad bit better with the circumstances that I am in, at least in the moment. And I hope things get better for people like me in the future. ☺️

[@emmageyman8621]

I seriously feel that pain that they were talking about the deficits at being good at reading but not doing good at math, in school I WAS THE SAME, i nailed at reading in class but you make me do math i literally had to keep repeating it over and over and i still don't remember a thing from math class

[@theletters9623]

I kind of experienced the math thing? The thing was I was technically ahead in math but that was only really because my mom gave me a head start at home, and while I could do the accelerated english class I was in, I completely floundered at accelerated math. I Was Just Normal At Math. This did not get fixed until highschool where I aggressively pushed to be put in a normal pace math class and "magically" started doing well. To the point where my school counselor was like "you should do these accelerated classes" and I had to (pre diagnosis) explain that if I did the accelerated math I would get at best a D because its just Too Math Too Fast. Also THE FAVORITES THING OH MY GODDDDDD I have the same feelings like. I have a set favorite color at least. But trying to figure out my favorite movie or like favorite song I just. AOL Dial Up Noise In My Brain

[@minksrule2196]

I am exactly the same as you. Was good at English, had a head start at home with math in primary school, started trying harder in highschool and got better. They put me in advanced math and I could never finish the homework I just wasn't fast enough and kept getting detention. I did math homework from the moment I got home until 10:30, I'd only take a 20 minute break from dinner and I still couldn't finish it. I was put back in standard maths after that.

[@auggies.cavern]

thank you so much for these, they bring me a lot of comfort as someone who is autistic :) to anyone reading this, make sure to drink water and get some rest 🫶 you are loved and cared about

[@Oliaaxter]

1:29 I am doing pretty well in science but I suck at math.

[@FROGGGER.DRAGONSLAYER]

11:55 i always just interpret this question as what's a film you like and i usually say the spider-verse films because i really like them they're amazing movies but they're not one of my special interests so i think i have a slightly more normal amount of information and passion about them so if i'm talking with someone about them it won't turn into me rambling for an hour

[@Ziv.M]

12:00 yes yes exactly

[@goblinguy3103]

Please remember that level labels (level one-three) and functioning labels (high-low functioning) is incredibly ableist! Use support needs instead. “Oh, I’m a high support needs autistic person” instead of “level three autistic person”

[@thatoneidiot5108]

yes! and you can also use "high masking" and "low masking"! its a different category though, being high masking doesn't necessarily mean low support needs! (genuine)

[@Thecollectoristheruler]

The only grade i got proper help with in maths was grade 4, there was a teacher aid that helped me, rhat was the only time

[@Oliaaxter]

First one is relatable to me asf lol (Second one too lmao)

[@flexibrain7018]

I like spicy food a lot :D

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I was also great at English but Math was absolute Hell for me.

[@kwowka]

11:42 every time I hear this creator talk I feel like they’re calling me out because OH MY GOD YES EVERY TIME SOMEOJE ASKS WHAT MY FAVOURITE FILM IS I PANIC 12:21 YEAH THIS TOO people will say ‘talk about your favourite thing’ and then I’ll stop and find something I tolerated because I cannot deal with the idea that something close to my soul will be torn to shreds. We were doing media analysis and you just had to pick a movie you liked, and I realised every movie could be mortifying or too childish or I’d care too much so I picked a movie I hate (home alone) to analyse despite not being able to do it because I hate it.

[@sadimmortalprincey6927]

grr grr can people talk about autistic people who are both sensory seeking and avoidant at once because i am both at the same time and its not talked about. like yes i love loud music but NOT that SPECIFIC kind of loud music i will cry actually. or like. my favorite flavor in basically anything is vanilla but my comfort foods are usually really intense in terms of flavor. its really weird and it sucks to explain it to people especially

[@Charlie-es6gh]

Yes yes me too I love marching band so much but sometimes it just a tiny bit much (especially when its 10pm and I’ve been at the comp all day)

[@thatoneidiot5108]

yes me too I like bright lights at night but I hate the sun and also too many bright lights at night is bad but also staring into a lamp is good and I like texture but I hate clothes and aaaa (genuine)

[@kaleenar963]

It’s kind of weird that they’re even different “types” in the first place, I assumed it fluctuated for everyone depending on how patient you were feeling that day.

[@Purple_Cherries]

DUDE THE GIRL AT 1:30, IM LITERALLY GOING THROUGH THE EXACT SAME THING. it sucks so hard especially wi tbh maths because people say shit like “you don’t have to like it, you just have to do it” but like not only do i dislike it, i also physically cant do it because it WILL. NOT. CLICK.

[@bizarre3228]

I’m excited and scared currently because I might be going to a college soon, we found one nearby that has a life skills course which would be perfect for me because it would teach me how to do things like cooking, hoovering, the washing etc. this college requires an ehcp plan though which I don’t have because I was was just rejected for no reason when really I needed one my whole school time and if I had it I’d probably have been able to finish high school and get my gcses. They said they will help us get the ehcp plan which is good, they also have two sensory rooms, one with a climbing wall and resistance bands for those who need to release energy and the other is made of that stuff that kids play places are (that squishy kind of foam stuff) and has cool lights and stuff and they also have a fake flat with a real bed, living room, functioning kitchen, etc and a separate room that has everything a typical bathroom has and washing machines. I think I want to go but I’m worried because I don’t have any friends there except one but they won’t be in my course because they started last year at the usual time, which might mean I won’t have anyone because I don’t really know how to make friends, I always followed my childhood friend around and just ended up being friends with their friends. Another problem I have is that I most likely have some kind of physical disability because I feel incredibly tired, always have back pain and my legs are wobbly and hurt from standing but I don’t know how to get help and I might not be able to actually function at college because of this and also being autistic

[@Star_Rattler]

for the last one, there's no way people are asking questions like favorite colors and movies and not actually meaning it. i don't believe that one. if someone asks me my favorite color, they're asking for my #1 favorite color right now (it used to be pink&purple in a tie, now it's blue and has been for a long time) and when they're asking for a favorite movie, they mean YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE of all time that you love. I really don't think they mean "whats a movie you enjoyed recently" when they ask that. I didn't have an answer for a long time to that question when everyone else did, but now I do, and it's Treasure Planet.

Hey i have questions about headphones, do you need to listen to something for it to do the noise cancelling thing? I know it's probably a dumb question, I've just been completely lost on figuring out how to work mine, mine do well when plugged into something, but i don't think the noise cancelling was on since i could still hear the awful bus noises and clicks, just less, maybe my expectations were too high or something

[@olioccasionallyanimates27]

Depends, my headphones are noise cancelling and play sound and there's a switch to turn on the noise cancelling mode

[@a_little_demon]

no no no, it's not a dumb question, don't worry !

[@Charlie-es6gh]

Mines a little button and when you click it its says “noise canceling on” or “noise canceling off” but it definitely will depend on the headphones (and i dont think its a dumb question I NEED noise cancellation)

[@luminousmistakes]

Ah okay! Thank you guys, I'm going to mess around and see if I can get it to work, so far I've just been plugging them into a device to make it do the music parts since that kinda blocks out some of the noise, although I'm pretty sure that's not the noise cancelling option, I'll have to press buttons and see what happens!

[@simply_nebulous]

11:49 They...they aren't actually asking for your favourite colour???

[@Star_Rattler]

8:15 all love no hate, but did she not realize the captions are super wrong? every time she said "We're late diagnosed autistic" the auto-captions heard "really diagnosed autistic." I mean, do people not check the auto-captions for errors before posting? i see typos a lot. do people not watch the video back to make sure it's all good before posting???
