Inside The Brain Of Autism - The Most Important Next 30 Mins Of Your Life

[@AshwinKumar1989]

I give people info dumps about snakes, trains, Harry Potter etc. And it is very very true that confidence keeps autistic people from reaching their full potential

[@corteltube]

I have subscribed to your channel because my little 6 yr old grandson has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. He is the love of my life and an amazing child and can outsmart me any day. Lol. He can remember conversations we have had weeks ago down to the exact words, so I am sure if I make him a promise or deal stick to it because he will remember word. I am so glad I found your channel.

This is one of best descriptions of the inner world I’ve seen on KZbin…only took 36 years to figure out everyone else wasn’t like this ….The bottom up learning brain style is worrisome …as age…the information bank only grows larger and larger

[@barefootincactus]

I do that random info dumping of interesting information but since most people haven’t seen it or heard it before they think I’m lying.

[@Cobalt-Case]

I'm terrible at math, but GREAT at science, which they always assured me was impossible. Never paid attention in science, refused to do homework, and got A's or B's on all the tests. Most of my science teachers actually ended up letting just read or write during class cause they knew I had it 😅. Those teachers were my freaking heroes, I really needed the time to disconnect and regulate myself. School was... not good

[@CyberSway]

It was the same for me! The teachers that did catch on realized that I paid attention in my own way. I think I struggled so much in math at 7 or 8 years old because they were using analogies and stories to make the information "easier" to take in....I felt so stupid. If only someone had taken me aside and said hey, were just teaching you how to multiply numbers. It's not about marbles and pouches 😢

[@JoeStoughton-ff1ie]

Same with me. I'm rubbish at maths but good at science.

[@homesteadgamer1257]

This is exactly the same for me.

Newly diagnosed with Asperger‘s and all the things I have done throughout my life now are starting to make more sense.

[@purepeter4737]

I was diagnosed earlier this year, in my thirties. Good luck on your journey mate, be patient with yourself ❤

[@homesteadgamer1257]

I had no idea that was called "info-dumping." I do that ALL the time.

[@guylamullins3602]

I wanted to understand the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves when I took physics. I used one of the local pools and borrowed different objects so I could drop them on the water and watch waves. It took me a few months of doing different experiments before I was happy with what I learned. Many were just happy with knowing the book meaning but I had to visually see it to be happy.

[@annap62407]

I feel being bad at simple math. I didn’t understand multiplication until I was in my 20s. I’m in my late 30s & still officially undiagnosed but the more I research into autism, specifically AuDHD the more I feel understood & like finally life makes sense

[@Michael_H_Nielsen]

Thank you for the great explanation of infodumping and why we do it :)

[@ilovecats4705]

Everything you explained is perfectly well said. All information you provided is fully describing of me, just as much for you and others on the spectrum. A perfect example for me. My college professor told us about an animal that he believed to be extinct. I argued and showed him true evidence of them still existence. Their population decreased some. I even try finding more detail and information for other things I've been noticing.

Happy to get this family, Hugs from Ethiopia.

[@dynamicrainmakers8794]

Yes I can do extreme information dumps and folks are surprised that I can do that. But one thing that really hurts me in the way of remembering conversations is when someone close to me says something hurtful it stays with me for a very very long time. I wish I could filter those types of conversations out :(

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

My daughter does this. We are a respectful family so there's not much material there😂 but for example..my husband off handedly said he heard a song long ago when she was just a baby (the musician is her special interest) she got SO pissed, thinking he was implying he saw it first. It was like 6 months ago...sometimes when she's stewing she'll complain about it.

[@andi_audhd]

For many years my mom would enjoy walking on the beach, looking for beautiful stones. She’d then put these in her garden which has always been her pride and passion. I didn’t click at the time that it’s likely her way of collecting whilst also adding a feminine touch to her outdoor pot plants 🤭

[@MrzRoblox]

True

[@homesteadgamer1257]

Most people don't keep precise mental records of conversations? This has literally been my entire life's worth of fights with my mom. I've never understood how she doesn't remember things that she said a week or a month ago, sometimes just days ago. She often thinks she's the one who said something and then gets mad when I recite the entire specific conversation to her. Even years later, exact conversations from my past will pop up in my head, and yes, I am always trying to figure out if I missed something or what the person really meant since a lot of times they ended the conversations mad at me.

[@screechingsigh]

How to get enough sleep? Any tricks to manage/reduce the constant barrage of thoughts? ( Aside from total mental/physical exhaustion)

[@Marginscope]

Same question. This far what I found works for me is to loop (or focus) my thoughts on a soothing scenario and drift to sleep but I must sort big emotions of the day first. Usually I need to get my bedtime ritual done (washing, dressing, drinking water), then if my mind keeps dragging in ruminations I watch "fun and a bit stupid" videos or read a very captivating book (when I find one,) then when my thought process has stoped repeating itself and is focused of the book or video, I put on a soothing music and meditation playlist I've created. I do this again when waking up in the middle of the night. Thats my healthy way of dealing with ruminations but sometimes I get side tracked and stay playing on my phone or starting research on what ever I m obsessing on....

[@californiadreaming567]

I don’t remember most of my life or any details. However my son does remember. If I ask him a question about my computer he will say I gave you the answer two years ago. He works for Google. So it’s very difficult to talk to him

[@nathanh6439]

Nice. I can remember some conversations I had over 30 years ago but can't remember people's names 30 seconds after I hear it.

[@ThroughTheLensOfAutism]

Whenever I am in a conversation I get somewhat confused, am I the one asking the questions or the one answering the questions?

[@rednarok]

The master of the conversation is always the one who makes the other talk more. That's all I know hahahah

[@rednarok]

Omfg im just the same hahaha, processing information later like days after sometimes and then i dont remeber to respond about it when i meet the same person again, but then i remeber it after and get this urge to meet that person again to responde hahaha Being asked why do i know so many things aswell happened to me last weekend haha Just look at my playlists on my channel hahahhahaha Same with the "detail", to me i only understand things when in full detail or else i keep being curious to understand it fullly to the last detail hahah... Feels good to know others are like me... thanks for your work!

[@luckylucario]

I have a hard time filtering all the stuff going on around me. To help filter out the important stuff I have to write it down. Or I will forget that it's important. I make plans knowing I might have a break down. So I keep headphones and fidget toys with me. I also have a problem with info dumping. I'm telling someone all of that info. Because I want them to know it and have a hard time breaking it down to share the really important parts. I also end up editing my comments on here. To make them shorter and hopefully not ramble as much.

[@Marginscope]

I sometimes get stuck info dumping and kind of repeat myself because I didnt say it right and feel frustrated but then I can see the other wants an out of the conversation but I didnt get to really express my thoughts precisely...

[@RS474]

Is that recording of a conversation an ADHD or an Autistic trait. I can’t remember what I went to the shops for let alone previous conversation’s 😂

[@Adam-fo2be]

My wife has autism. I am still new to all this and am learning. She has told me numerous times that she can’t shut her brain off especially when she tries to go tosleep.. Does anyone have any techniques or approaches or anything that you have done that has helped you?

[@clairebear92]

I am Autistic!

[@mariethanel8985]

Pyroclastic flow I love to talk about the pyroclastic flow ❤ 2:15

[@DawnBoisse]

POMPEIIIIII

[@4everpee]

Everything is the same. But you are stuck on your sensory problems and you dont understand people properly or you may not talk at all for all of your life.

[@guylamullins3602]
