can you be a little bit autistic? are autism and aspergers the same? explained by AUTISTIC TEENAGER

[@markmywords5509]

Brilliant video! Sorry for long comment .... I will identity as an autistic person only if I feel the circumstances mean it will help me and others. Timing is important as if I do it too late in a relationship or encounter or meeting etc it can seem like I am using it as an excuse, for example if my directness or lack of tact has upset someone. So I have to consider each situation. However, when I judge it to be appropriate I have no problem identifying as an autistic person and by doing so it may help neurotypical people to better understand and accept us. We have lots offer!! Keep up the good work with your channel!

Yes I understand you completely! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment

Autism is complex, like explaining the taste of salt without using salty. Great video! BTW love your accent!

[@chriswoolner3614]

Fantastic video Hollie, the more I watch your videos the more I understand my son. He wasn't told until he was 16/17 years of age and my ex wife still won't except it. I have seen so many people say 'on the spectrum' and Asperger's or Autistic etc. So thanks for helping me understand it all.

[@holliemabbott949]

Awh so glad these videos help you! It means so much

[@itsAngona]

Great video Hollie, at what age did you started talking? My son is almost 3 and he is non-verbal .

[@rahbeeuh]

I know this is an older comment and it's not addressed to me but I didn't start talking until I was 2 years old and I didn't talk clearly til I was 4 or 5.

I like your reasoning around “aspergers” etc. on a good day i could be an aspie, on a bad day not so. I’m autistic. However, there is a shortfall in how “aspies” can transmute into a fitting diagnosis under the current DSM. there needs to be more work done. I have support needs most aspies do not

[@juanvalenzuela1418]

Hollie, you've dug an unveiled truth which is something media has stereotyped for decades on people under the umbrella. Two things 1) Could you please make a video about the effects of this Pandemic on us people who fall under the umbrella ( I'd fancy you to give your two cents on it) 2) Great video :)

[@holliemabbott949]

Thankyou very much! Glad you enjoyed, yes I do plan on doing a type of video like that, hope you enjoy it when it comes out!

thankyou

Even if I was diagnosed with "Asperger's", I would not be using that term. First of all, Hans Asperger was a bad dude who collaborated with Nazis in their "child euthanasia program" in which he decided which autistic children are worth living and which are not. Second... well, I don't think I need to add more reasons. As you said it's synonymous with "high-functioning" autism and functioning labels are wrong and damaging to all autistics. Autism is diagnosed less in women almost certainly because expectations by patriarchal society are different for men and women. Actual ratio is probably close to 1:1.

i assume every boyfriend you had, he was the one who pursued you or asked you out, made the first move

No actually I’m quite honest and forward I can never hide my feelings 🙈

@@holliemabbott949 well god bless you for that, i swear, if more women were like you, it would help a lot of autistic men or men on the spectrum, since autism affects a persons ability to socialize and connect with others, thats why i've long felt its going to affect mens dating lives more than womens dating lives.

How you are treated and exposed to environment seems to be the direct cause of the difference in how the characteristics of autism presents in biological sex, and not so much of a difference based on hormones or other sexual or otherbiological differentce. Girks are pressured to be more social which will inherently mask some autistic behaviors and difficulty. Most if us who have been socialized as girls will tend to high nask and there are dangers in that such as kising your identity to the mask as well as severe burnouts which will lead to meltdowns and increased chances of siezure or stroke. People will make ablist demands when you burn out and will pressure you to instantly start masking again cuz if they don't know the real you under the mask then itll look to them as if u underwent a huge change and since dsm-5 doesnt list servere burnout as an issue ppl will oush you to handle stuff you could before even though ur wensory input will be well i couldnt imagine how much more sensitive theyd be, even the third burnout i had i wasnt orepared to handle that sensory overwhelm, cars 30-35 metres away were overwhelming. Being burntout is legit failure if your briain to continue processing so expect temporary menory and learned skill loss
