Be Yourself, Even with Autism... | Fang Ideology

[@ChargingOfficial]

This video was amazing to watch and get a insight into what makes you well you. It's great to see one of my close friends being able to speak about his life and struggles to an audience who cares. The growth you have had since I knew you in middle school really shows a lot, I loved watching every second of this video. Keep up the great work man ❤

I clicked on it expecting the title to just be a joke, glad I stuck around.

[@CuteFlesh]

Same, for some reason I thought it was a theory video that Fang has Autism.

[@Cesare4586]

Same

[@Happyguppy.224]

Im autistic too and feel a lot of the feelings you have for fang for Colette. I relate to her a lot because she gets very obsessive over things she likes easily like I do. And she’s kind of an outsider or a “weirdo” but it’s inspiring because she feels no shame for it and is her true self which is really important to me. I really understand where you’re coming from about everything else too. I’m really looking forward to more of your videos this was a really inspiring one!

[@murkypotoo]

I clicked on this video thinking it was a joke or something to make fun of autistic people; but I watched the entire vid and I feel relieved 😭 I'm autistic as well though I'm self-diagnosed (after hella research) and I relate to your experiences. I've been excluded and picked on by my peers because I acted differently and didn't realise how badly i was being treated until later when I had time to think about it. I've chosen to prioritize my mental health now and I'm trying my best to avoid people so I don't add to my built up anger issues and resentment. Thanks for making this vid, I enjoyed it and now I want to play fang XD

[@Gamertank2.0]

the first thing i thought of was false swipe gaming as soon as i saw "fang theroem" 💀 then i realized that this video is way different. be yourself bro.

[@larryandlawrielover69]

This video is really touching. I needed to hear people about being open with their differences because I have similar experiences just like you. It takes a lot of feeling to be open about this. Keep going! 💝💝💝

[@OMGolly101]

Watching someone play Brawl Stars while listening to someone talking feels like the equivalent of watching Subway Surfer gameplay while listening to stories. Love the video btw❤🥹

[@sayushuumatsuban]

I really needed to hear this, I struggle alot with this, people always make fun of me because of my interests, but I was starting to think of ignoring them, and this video was a sign to ignore them completely. New sub!

[@IveBeenPozest]

Dude, I literally moved to a whole new continent this year and going through the same stuff except the autism part, which I feel is quite nice of you too share to your audience. Keep your head up, hopefully the future will be bright for all of us even if we find it hard to express ourselves to others.

[@timtam3730]

NGL, the idea of someone following their special interests and making it a core part of themselves doesn't only apply to Fang but most of the other Brawlers as well! Like Darryl, he's so obsessed with pirates that he left his job to become a pirate captain, Bea, she's a scientist obsessed with bees and has bee related attacks and catch-phrases, Carl is obsessed with rocks, Brock loves rockets, El Primo loves wrestling, Collette loves Brawlers etc. And like, I find that inspiring in a way cuz regardless of how the meta changes and whatnot there's always a Brawler out there that someone can relate to.

[@BlazeManiaYT]

That’s a nice observation!

[@Thatonelonelyfrog]

It’s really important to open up or explore and understand yourself, I’m proud! Many people along with I struggle to convey or understand ourselves, and just by you making a video about how YOU feel and think, it could help others too even if it’s a video on your perspective. Everyone has their own special stuff it makes you, you!

[@inutile3512]

dawg you reavealing your autism is like hearing a spoiler for a movie youve already seen

[@RezzlerGoofriedMcracksmith]

I ve also been recently diagnosed with austism so I can easily relate to your troubles this video was what I needed after a dificult night Thanks for making my day Hope you make more of these

[@BlazeManiaYT]

Your welcome, I’ll definitely will 👍

[@rafatop3207]

the last part when you said the plush thing, reminded me i bought a plush from my favourite game ever last month. i was so excited i told my friends repeatedly about it, not trying to brag i was just really happy, but they didnt give a darn and kinda belittled me because the game is (technically) for kids, which upset me. listening to you talk about your experience with autism and how you dealt with it made me feel better, as someone who has anxiety issues and (i think) other stuff

[@wasabbis]

Im autistic as well and this video touched me in ways i didnt expect it to do, I play brawlers like Jessie and Colette for similar reasons you play Fang. I kinda needed to hear this, i have been on and off from embracing myself and my autism for a while because sometimes it’s hard not to try to behave and act like you see other people do. Thank you so much Blaze autistic Fang main that appeared on my feed i will follow you!! Keep doing whatever you want!!

[@Icyskyes]

What an amazing video, I realate to your story almost one to one up until the school transfer with manipulative "friends" and being excluded. Thankfully about 3 years ago I went to a surprisingly inclusive small town school, with people that actually became my friends, they made me realize(in explict manner) that Im different from them, but that didnt really mean shit and Im glad I got this happy ending. I still have trust issues and only 1 friend who actually shares my hobbies(although I dont mind having only him), but this is fact that there are people out there that will enjoy your company, somewhere out there there are potencial friends, and I hope all of the neurodivergent people reading this know that their masks dont need to be part of their personas forever

[@JesseeBS]

Love this I think it’s really important to just talk about your thoughts and connect with and possibly help the viewer

[@Gh0stScop3]

Nice video man, I relate to your experiences a lot but I don't think I can do something about it for now. Let's hope that someday I'll find the courage to express myself to people freely, I don't want to be seen as someone I am not anymore. honestly I'm tired of hearing the same words/opinions over and over again even if everyone agrees with them. I would really like to see more of your series!! I wish you best with your life and channel, Brawl Stars community needs more people like you 💙

[@lili_vagynemtudom]

awesome vid !! and also VERY relatable tbh,, especially the masking part :’) seeing someone talk about stuff like this in this brawlstar gameplay format is so cool and i love ittt :3

[@voldisofficial7059]

Amazing video! To anyone dealing with this situation, I also am one with these issues. No one is alone. thank you Blaze Mania. I have a similar video on my yt channel, but now that I've seen your's, I am contemplating whether or not I have it too.

[@kitkutv495]

i geniounly thought that this would be joke video shitting on fang players

[@The_DuKKe]

Man, a love this video, i think i have adhd, but my family don't really care, so i just do talk too much about, this video is like a safe place for people who just want to play brawl and dont have any place, thanks man

[@redshell9205]

As someone who has autism and is going through a lot with people belittling me, gender dysphoria (as that stuff is amplified with autism) and just feeling like I can’t express myself at all… thank you. I can relate so much with this struggle.

[@Rozebix]

You have literally explained my life. In 2019 some guys on a camp showed me Brawl Stars and when I came back home I immediatelly installed it and it became my favorite game of all time and I'm still actively playing and I have 65000 trophies. I've also always been the outcast for the majority of my life with 2 to 4 friends in every social group (now I have more friends) but I don't feel that much like myself than before. Maybe it's just a phase idk. Right now I take interest in Brawl Stars, KZbin, digital art and a lot of other things but I don't even enjoy doing half of the not mentioned things and I'm scared that if I stop doing them I might lose friends or that my family might change opinions about me. And out of the things I enjoy doing I'm not good at any of them I'm just medium. Now I understand why Fang has been my favourite brawler since his release. He's super relatable. I've even started doing taekwondo (a martial art if you don't know what it is) because he secretly inspired me. I don't do taekwondo anymore cuz the transport to the location where I trained took too long. I still feel a bit like Fang. Thank you if you read this all I enjoyed the video and it even made me cry a bit and think about my life for like 10 minutes. Thank you KZbin for putting this on my homepage.

[@Rozebix]

Btw this is the first time I expressed myself like this

[@voidie1992]

As somebody who is autistic and mentally ill. I’m so happy to see the insight you got from Fang. That’s me specially with Melodie being somebody who cannot handle her own emotions. It’s sad seeing her being mischaracterize in such a degree. I see myself in Melodie and 8-Bit a lot and do a lot of analysis on the two being cluster b. And seeing this makes me happy knowing some people can get that and put themselves into those characters to feel comfortable with their own selves.

[@WeezingWeezer]

I can deeply relate to your video and I might also have autism (I’m unsure) but you honestly seem related and like an amazing person. :]

[@TYW0RZ10]

As a fellow person with autism, most of the stuff mentioned in this video are stuff that I can relate to(along with being an outsider). I’m kinda glad I’m juggling this with another game.

[@therandomserb3]

You be you, dude! As a new young subscriber, I was also the awkward Brawl Stars kid. I stuck around when it wasn't cool, was trendy, then I took a break and finally came back to this game again because I genuinely enjoy it. We shouldn't go against who we are just to blend or to fit in! Ironically, realizing this has given me so much more confidence. I'm looking forward to the series 💪

[@Dying-man.]

Youe not alone

[@frescodipomeriggio647]

Your effort and thoughts in this video is commendable. I've always thought that those who cannot accept me for who I am are not people that I should bond with to begin with. A friendship is something where both sides accept one another's flaws, so what you said about the importance of being yourself is very important. I'll be watching the series, just to see what you're planning. Oh! And also, I love Fang too :)

[@Lyntax]

I am also experiencing the same thing that happened to you, i just found out that i have ADHD and people always avoid me, even my friends are sad when at school they have to do a group project with me, the only thing that isn't making me think about this stuff and kind of escape this situation is the gym and playing games like deepwoken and brawl stars, i'm also starting to not care since i'd rather to stay alone than staying with people that have north pole temp iq

[@Idktoname]

i have adhd and autism, and i go to a special sort of school with teacher who are trained to help people with stuff like this, to help people who struggle, and ive got friends there, and ive also found other friends outside of that, the people i found outside of that school, which was in my old school, are my best friends right now, and i think that we have became friends due to all our shared conditions such as adhd and autism, and one of us has dyslexia, so we are the same, therefore we can recognize how we feel together which is what makes us friends

[@Fernsaur]

Man, I can really relate to your story, as I've gone through basically the same thing... Thankfully now that I'm in High School my classmates are a lot more accepting, so I don't need to mask as much. Still struggling socially, though. I'm really proud of you for coming out! I hope this video helps others out there to discover themselves.

[@AzAlexRo]

I loved the vid! I really struglle to be myself and be how others want you know. But after i saw this ill try and be ME not someone that wants to make everyone happy. Thank you!🎉

[@rexiandtherandom8198]

Aaggahhhh I relate to this soooo much, sure I have been diagnosed with my autism since I was 5 or something early, but yeahhh I also find myself to be a freak, I distance myself from my family all the time and my only close friends ard practically all online At least my friends do get some enjoyment of art and other stuff while I express my special interest towards Tick of all brawlers, those funky little sounds he makes really feel like the same silince my own body forces on me when i'm overwhelmed or stressed, even though he isn't (not always) Even my mother who tries to be supportive of me tends to dismiss my hearing problem wich really makes me lose my mind while at school, but all she does is trying rely on me taking magnesium and gaba every morning and hope that i'll get used to it, as well as confronting me too directly when i'm upset Either way really enjoyed this video zghzbzijh I don't know how I can thank you enough, I feel so great for stumbling here

[@Shinyyungoos363-ci5tf]

Hearing problem as in attention deficit or just with your ears? Also, I hate whem my mom does that too. She always brings up a psychiatrist as an option or taking magnesium or shit. I refuse, because the last time she used that as a damage control mechanic, twisting the story and blaming it on me, making the psychiatrist think the same. My parents are divorced, and she planned some evil shit with the psychiatrist (its her fucking friend) to put me in a pseudo Foster thing for 3 days, where kids would be forced to take weird meds and beaten if not compliant. Funny, right?

[@rexiandtherandom8198]

@Shinyyungoos363-ci5tf hearing problem as in I can't ignore background noise, just to give some examples, in any class activity wich involves computers, I can just hear all the clicking from the mouses and keyboards, or în other closes it's all the paper russling from notebooks and stuff I guess all of this kind of is an attention deficit but I still decided to be more specific

[@rexiandtherandom8198]

​​@@Shinyyungoos363-ci5tf god I sure hate this behavior from people, and it's not like we can do much to fight back, this is just plain evil (My previous response kinda just got smited by youtube and it seems this video is gonna get reuploaded because of an audio mistake oh well :/)

[@phantom9840]

i'm glad i found this channel, because i can relate to so many things you just said

[@captkiyumi]

This is such a heartwarming video. Like many others have said, i initially thought this was a video making fun of autistic people because well, you wouldnt really expect a brawl stars player to actually be serious and empathetic. (And before i get flamed, i myself play brawl stars but the community can be incredibly toxic at times). This might be the first video ive seen on your channel, but i’ll continue supporting your journey.

[@ClownAroundWithMe]

as a kid with autism, I thank you Blaze Mania. I really like how you opened up about your autism. I really appreciate how you are spreading awareness in this video. I also like fang, too! You gained a new subscriber ❤

[@KaossClown]

I have know idea who you are, I have never seen your videos before, yet this videos made me feel seen, thank you

[@superkid5485]

My classmate is autistic and I see what you mean

[@C0rner_Dweller]

I can't really relate to any of your struggles, but I want more people to find this cause they might, so I hope this comment will even just slightly boost this in the algorithm

[@The_American_Gamer999]

I might have autism too(I don't have but I kinda act like I have it), but I am struggling with my mental health I do have a problem (no I'm not depressed or sad) I mean my brain (and it's not cancer). Every time I try to quit this game it just drags me back to it. The maximum amount of time I stopped playing this was 1 month even though the updates are small if something new comes to the game I just play it. Any other game I just left it

[@Shinyyungoos363-ci5tf]

Alright, so... Having a game to play in YOUR free time is great and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. However...when that game no longer brings you joy and feels like a burden and you HAVE to open it or else you feel like you're missing out on something, and here there has to be a feeling of disgust when playing, not because someone tells you, but because you feel it. Or, you spend more money than you can afford. Also, for the first one, you start setting even higher and higher goals, like idk getting all limited time skins, grinding all brawlers to rank 35 or 50 or whatever it is now, so on. I should know, I've been through it myself

[@SurgeBot2]

Hi, I'm on this channel for the first time and all I have to say is that you're insanely brave to open up and even if this kind of new videos that you're going to make isn't gonna blow up, you will still create a really friedly community here

[@LawrieDaBadCop]

I don't have autism but I kinda have the same problems ( mostly cauz I am timid ) but the fact that I have a friend group of 18 people with the same problems help me a bit but tbh I still have the timidity problems and I prefer being alone even if I like my friends It's mostly cauz after my GF said she was lesbian when I told her i loved her romantically that I like my Friends group especially my Bestie ( he kinda look like Fang ngl ) who make me gay because he is hot but he do have a GF So I learned it's OK to be an Outsider and I prefer being like this but like I said I always knew it was OK
