I’m autistic. But I don’t “look autistic” or “act autistic”. So people don’t know unless I tell them. When people are told Im autistic before they meet me they treat me very differently. They act like I’m a small child, or like I’m stupid. Autism is a different way of thinking. In me it tends to show up in how I express stress. I have a disconnect between my emotions and my body. So I’m totally fine until my body reaches breaking point and I start shaking and having panic attacks. There’s other stuff too, but I won’t get into everything... Intelligence has nothing to do with autism. It has to do with your ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings. Its a spectrum, so some people have it at such an extreme that they can’t talk or live by themselves, or some are like me, and act just like anyone else. I actually have an IQ of 127. I’m not stupid. People who know me before knowing I’m autistic know that. I once heard some people having a conversation at school. It went something like this: Person 1 - Autism and Down syndrome are the same thing. Person 2 - I don’t think that’s how it works... Person 1 - yeah, they’re just different words for the same thing. They’re both mentally delayed. Me (sitting right next to them) - Down syndrome has to do with an irregular chromosome. Autism is very different. Person 2 - yeah I thought it was something like that... Person 1 - even if they’re caused by different things, they’re both pretty much the same. Their both retarded or whatever. Me - I’m autistic. *long silence* Me - I’m not kidding... Person 1 and 2 - *turn around and start a new conversation. *

Thanks for sharing. Hope you don't feel to down because of it or find ways to live with stuff like that without it hurting you.

Anne J. I am very happy to be as I am! It’s honestly funny when people are like “autistic people are stupid”. And I’m like, “do you think I’m stupid?”. And they’re like, “Of course not, you’re super smart but you’re not autistic” and I’m like “Yes I am.” 😂

[@annej.9696]

That's so cool :)) Love that attitude. I also met some people with autism, where it actually felt like they are smarter than me. So autism probably just doesn't define that. In the end every individual defines that for themselve :) Btw. the other day I also heard how IQ is nothing static and you can train it as any other skill.

[@MirandaMilner]

Anne J. Interesting... I think the reason people assume that autism = lower intelligence is because some more extreme cases can’t/don’t speak. It’s not because they have nothing to say. It can be because they physically can’t speak, or because they’re afraid to say the wrong thing because of communication issues.

I love how honest Molly is with her. Not telling her “this is no biggie you’re gunna be okay” but being totally frank about it. Being blind is challenging and frustrating but you can do this. It’s so validating to have a realistic response not just bs.

[@EyeconicLaura]

Natalie deWitt It’s so important. I’ve been type 1 diabetic for nine years and I wish someone would’ve said that to me at the beginning. I got told things like “it could be worse,” “at least it’s not cancer,” etc. I was eleven. I was going through hell. I wish someone would’ve just been like: “yeah, this is hell. it sucks.” Because if you act like everything is fine when the person doesn’t feel fine, they just think they’re weak.

[@HopeUnquenchable]

Eyeconic, thank you for explaining that. I’m the type of person to take any hardship that comes at me and put it into perspective by thinking of how it could be (IMO) worse. I get strength, either from gratitude for all I still do have, or from thinking, “Let’s see if I can survive this; let’s see how strong I really am!” So it’s good to have your perspective and realize that while that might work for me, it doesn’t necessarily benefit someone else who needs validation for how hard their own situation is. What, in your opinion, would be the best way for someone to react to hearing of your struggles, if they wanted to not only validate your hardships, but also empower you to fight through them?

[@EyeconicLaura]

HopeUnquenchable it honestly depends on the circumstances as well as the relationship between the two people. If I’m telling someone I just met that I have type 1, the best thing to do is just say “okay,” and if you are curious about the disease, ask questions. Give me a space to be open and honest about how it affects my daily life, in a way that is natural in conversation. If I am venting to a trusted friend about the hardships, the best thing to do is listen. Listen and offer help with the small things, like carb counts at meal times for example. In any situation, just offer your love. Let us know we’re heard, whether that means giving a hug, listening in silence, or reacting with 50 heart emojis. And just to be extra thorough, here are some of the most common things we get said to us that you Should Not Say: - “How do you give yourself shots? I would just die.” (lowkey implies that dying instead of managing our disease is a reasonable option) - “It could be worse” (see above comment) - “You are so strong/You are a warrior” (this gives us a mentality that if we’re not fighting, we’re not living, and if we buckle under the pressure, we lose) - “Did you eat too much sugar?” (Please use google for two seconds) - “You don’t look diabetic” (type 1 has literally nothing to do with lifestyle in any way shape or form so there is no “looking diabetic”) - “is that the bad kind?” (there is no bad kind) Finally: thank you for asking that question. It shows you genuinely care. The world needs more of that. 💙

I love how tas said "It's not just blind people or people who are disabled that are watching your videos (...) and they start to understand how I see and how I felt because of you". I'm not blind, but I have a lot of other disabilities. I understand what it's like to be disabled, but I don't and won't understand what it is like to be blind unless I become blind. For people in the disabled community who are not blind, we get to see another type of disability and how it creates other types of challenge in life. For abled people, they get to be educated about disabilities and taught that it isn't something weird or abnormal.

Wolfoe1238 oh ok thank you

[@anniepark6694]

Devin Cassedy Exactly. At first, I thought you said images instead of emojis. As for images, most things cannot describe them or describe very little, like saying something about the picture being dark and blurry or something, or it may read out a bunch of numbers and letters and say JPG and/or img for image. On Facebook, it says something like, "Image may contain one person, smiling and outdoor." Descriptions like that are better than nothing, but still very general when you compare it with the fact that a sighted person would also see who the person is and what they're doing. Sorry for just now replying.

It happened to me in 3rd grade due to infection (luckily I regained 95% of my sight back.) I told my mom I couldn't see and we went to the Walmart eye Dr. They realized I was actually blind and sent me to a specialist who told us to go home and pray. LOL My mom was like no thanks and found a children's specialist that was able to treat me over the next few months. Weirdly I handled it very calmly but I could still see a sliver in my peripheral of one eye so that made it so much easier than total loss.

She calls herself a blind youtuber so she doesn't mind that label. Many disabled people don't like person first labelling as they feel it diminishes their disability and its effect on their life. Its always best to ask/go with what the person wants rather than assume and use person-first.

Lela R. I’m nearly the exact same as you.. I’ve been gaming since I was literally in diapers so always with my face in a screen still to this day so I think that has a lot to do with why they get worse.. I got glasses when I was 6 & someone from my family walked in and I asked my mom who they were because their face was blurry and I couldn’t tell. and it’s just gotten worse since.. I can’t see any further than you can. I’ve always been scared I’ll go blind lol. When I was about 12-13 I woke up and everything looked like it was in a sepia colored filter, but only in one eye. I actually thought I woke up colorblind. It did that twice, idk what caused that but it hasn’t done it since 🤣

Amora Malcolm i’m also near sighted, although i’m -7 (which i believe is 20/600?). it’s been getting worse since I was in 4th grade, and i’m 22 now. it’s still getting worse lol! although i am technically functionally blind without my glasses/contacts, i’m grateful that i can see with them. i hope your vision doesn’t get any worse! if it does, molly is a great role model and surely will inspire you on your journey.

When Molly talked about learning braille early and not wanting to, because she could still see, I was smiling a little bit... For me it was the other way around I am sighted and had a blind friend when I was little. I learned to write my name in braille back then, because of her. I was so interested in what she did, because I loved being around her sooo so much. (I didn't had to, but it was fun for us... Writing on a typewriter 21 years ago...) I am still sad I lost that friend, because our school wasn't including and she had to go to a blind school which was far away... But thanks for bringing all those topics up and also I love those memories (they are one of my first memories I can actively remember)
