@@sjjdjejdkdkd3716 Naturally, since to "grow up" is to work endless pointless jobs and maybe retire in 40 years. Why wait your whole life to begin living as you wish? His "childishness" is a rejection of the fake rules and regulations which everybody bends themselves to submit to, and collectively enforce. Doesn't everybody understand how we all submit part of our autonomy and desires to be part of society? But we don't have to! Childishness v Adulthood: where do you draw the boundaries? There is no real distinction. Its a fake social construction. The reality is of Freedom/Pleasure v the "moral" responsibilities/toil of adulthood, and wage labour. The "Rat Race," right? So its a natural reaction to society. Growing up is sacrificing the freedom of childhood to "become an adult" and become a "good, responsible" person. Purely a moral judgment (fake) The Adulthood/Childhood thing is just a mask for this. Unfortunately, the sanctions for violating these fake rules, for not living within the standard plan for living, are very real.

I just worry that there will be people that watch this and assume that we are all the same. The spectrum is very broad and there are so many little differences to each autistic person. And I'm sick of people saying that autism immediatly means extremely stupid. We just think differently and see things differently. Just because some of us can be extremely anxious and go mute sometimes and struggle to explain/express feelings doesn't mean there's nothing going on in our brains! Thanks for reading this.

@@gacomics5951 There is still a pervasive belief that women can't be autistic and they are still often under- or misdiagnosed. Pair a lack of diagnosis with trying to fit into a world you don't quite fully understand or fit into (but are socially pressured to be socially acceptable and agreeable, perhaps a bit more than men), and it's a recipe for leading a frustrating, unfulfilling life. I'd say the challenges for each gender are unique and neither is better. I know autistic men in relationships and autistic women whose interests/personalities are too intense for them to maintain relationships. Every individual is exactly that, an individual! Most importantly, let's hope society gets more accepting of people's differences.

And he envisions a 40yo male special friend instead of that Downs girl. But i don't think it should be pursued. It won't give him better quality of life and itd be very trying and expensive for his parents.

Toaster Strudel Because Marcus specifically said he doesn't know how he would be a woman because no one will explain those kinds of thing to him. He hates having facial hair to shave, loves nail polish, likes dresses, and having his hair long. There's nothing wrong with any of it, but he just needs someone to show him how to express his feminine side, although it would be very hard in this world to be both autistic _and_ transgender or interested in drag. He already struggles with cruelty from strangers, and criticism from his parents. The part you may have missed begins at 19:02

I hear for special people or those that are on the further part of the spectrum, it's because they often rip their hair out or will choke themselves with it. But they can't have it too short either or they may feel vulnerable and get anxiety attacks. That's why they can't have bangs or yknow anything like that, it's just the safe cut.

If my child were severely autistic, I'd take good care of them and they would not look like they had anything out of the ordinary. I admire Katie Price for how she brings up Harvey, he wears normal trendy and fashionable clothes, he has cool hair and looks good. She takes care of him and he's obviously well brought up. I'd make sure from an early age that normal things such as going to the hairdresser, cutting nails, brushing teeth, choosing good clothes, keeping clean and smart etc were priority. I work with young vulnerable adults with autism, learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. Some of our residents are very resistant to hair cuts and to assistance with personal care. Some parents are brilliant and buy them clothes from Superdry, Nike, Gym King and skinny jeans etc, and we put the radio on, music channels, keep things current.

“He says he can’t really imagine what others are feeling”. But is that really true though? Looking at Markus, he seems to be such a kind soul, meeting everyone with an open heart, caring about his friends, not caring about whether someone is disabled or “different” in some way, just treating others as human beings, something that many “normal”, neurotypical people could learn from. And yet, he is the one that supposedly struggles with empathy, when it is the others who constantly judge and belittle people like him. Is it really the case that autistic people “have less empathy” and “don’t understand others” or is it simply the case that society values social protocol more than actual empathy and authenticity? I really feel that when people talk about autistic people struggling to understand others they mean that we don’t know what the social rules are in a given situation, not that we do not care about or emphasize with another person’s feelings. Neurotypicals likewise struggle to understand autistic people’s reactions and feelings and yet we don’t assume that they are lacking in empathy, they’re just the majority.

As a German who speaks German, it's really irritating and confusing if I hear the German language voiced over with the English language, my brain can't really decide which language it should listen to and gets confused. Subtitles are way better than dubs because, for people who know both languages, it gets harder to understand because they know both languages and I think I'm not the only one feeling like that 😅😅

I am on the spectrum...but when you meet one person with autism, you have met ONE person with autism. It manifests itself in many ways! In my little autistic world, I would go NUTS with all that noise!!! I could never live with that. I can't have more than one form of noise going or I can't think and I get agitated. That said, like Markus, I have a mechanical aptitude, and I love to play. I play video games, and build models, and play musical instruments. That is my play. I think Markus is sweet and cool. He'd definitely be on my friends list if I lived close to him.

Feel the same and I'm not autistic. Or maybe I am? I knew all my life that I was "different", teachers kept telling my mom to take me to a mental health expert, because I didn't like playing with other kids and was completely happy playing alone, I had huge issues socializing with other people and don't like being touched. Still have problems giving my mom a hug :/ that makes me sad. All my life I always just had one special friend, can't function in groups. I can get overly attached when I feel like I connect with someone on a deeper level and one break up with an ex boyfriend made me suicidal, fortunately I was able to snap out of it. I used to call people in general "the others", in a sense that I was not like everyone else (even though I wished I was) never felt I could belong. Nowadays I know how to and can act normal though. I just would like to find out what my problem is.
