[@mr_milquetoast2221]

THAT LAST ONE IS MEEE I'm sarcastic to my friends and family but if they do it back to me, half the time I'm like that Rocket Racoon quote "You were supposed to use a sarcastic voice! Now I look foolish!!"

[@Lillyluvsanime]

When I first heard Rocket say that (we were watching in the theatre) I kinda yanked on my mom's arm and whispered excitedly at her "that's me!" Now, I do struggle a bit with sarcasm conceptually, mostly because... why not just say what you mean instead of saying the opposite and expecting people to understand it's opposite. But being around my step-dad for more than half my life now has helped. The purpose is humor. I am quite proud of myself when I do a solid sarcasm. But yeah, the tone has to be like... cartoonishly exaggerated for me to pick it up, or if I know the person really well and gradually pick up on their patterns.

[@randomxstuff]

Sometimes I have to ask people if they were intending to be sarcastic. Also sometimes I get read as sarcastic by others when I was intending to sound genuine.

[@bugwashere2117]

My father doesn't realize when he uses sarcasm he uses his normal voice. So me and my mother (both tistic) have to look at each other and be like "is he doing the thing or is he fr"

[@doingo648]

Yea, my Mum used to always use "the voice" with sarcasm as I was growing up, so I thought for the longest time that sarcasm was when you use said voice. Took me until adulthood to learn (I think through an autism tictok?) that it's not. She just stopped using the voice one day and I never picked up on it and thought she was being weird.. 😑

[@bynnyn]

Wait, so when I can't talk without forcing the words out of my mouth, that's because I socially drained myself? Gurl, I've been wondering why there are times where I can't talk after I've had a long day. That's wild. I thought I was just being dramatic because that's what my siblings said, this makes so much more sense.

[@Lillyluvsanime]

That's a type of non-verbal state that's tied to shutdown. When all your resources are depleted, when the battery is drained and the spoons are gone... you have no energy left to talk, the connection between the brain and the mouth just kinda cuts off. At least, that's what it's like for me.

At least I'm getting answers. Always felt out of place when I was with people. There are very few people in my family that I feel comfortable around because they are genuinely nice. The other people in my family are overly judgmental Pentecostal people. I don't like the things they say about other people.

About the Asperger's syndrome tiktok! I was actually first diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's syndrome when I was 7 (so in 2007) and for the longest time I would summarize Asperger's syndrome to anyone who asked me about it as "the milder form of autism". Turns out that was my internalized ableism and complete lack of knowledge about myself and I didn't stop doing that until 2014 when someone finally told me about the diagnosis change in 2013. And then I had a awkward period of my life in 2014-2017 where I was a Struggling Teenager because my parents kept going back and forth over whether or not I was "actually autistic" or just "higher functioning therefore not autistic". Thank god my family mainly moved past that, more so my stepdad then my mom, but I'm grateful for my time on Tumblr and the like for helping me better understand myself and my autistic ass lmao. I now know for a fact that I am very much simply autistic

[@leaheljac]

I was also diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. One thing, though, is many countries still haven’t removed it as a diagnosis, so it’s not completely true it’s not a diagnosis anymore. I agree it shouldn’t be, but health professionals will still say I have Asperger’s when I go to the doctor or have been trying to find a therapist. 🙃

5:19 if you have an iphone, there’s a function that lets you play background sounds. there are rain sounds, ocean sounds, plain white noise etc. the sounds will still play even if you watch a video/listen to music, and you can adjust the volume of the background sounds separately from the video/music playing alongside. an added plus is if you have noise-cancellation earphones. you really won’t hear any outside irritating sounds at all.

[@elokin300]

I’m starting to think I might be autistic? The symptoms really resonate with me (though many do overlap with ADHD so I’ll probably have to check for both).

Hello hello, someone who is not autistic but suspects that they are here, wanted to share my own experience even if I do or don’t have autism So I’ve always liked doing things more by myself and I’ve always had a hard time socializing and working in groups, eye contact is a HUGE no no for me, hate it sm but still try, I have a hard time identifying emotion and a test I took with a professional doctor in 2020 or 2021 (they were face-to-face sessions) said that I have two extremes and no I’m between when it comes to emotion, I either feel too little or too much, that I have a hard time controlling my emotions and that I am more of an apath than an empath, I also struggle with understanding metaphors and meta language in some cases, unless they are very similar to it’s literal meaning as well as stimming when happy, angry, nervous or in agony. I was never diagnosed with it and I am NOT self-diagnosing, I’m just saying I suspect myself of having it due to these and a few other signs that, according to the research I’ve done on autism, match/are similar to signs of autism Hope this doesn’t offend anyone, if it does please tell me (I’d like to also know how/why it’s offensive if it is) Have a good day!

[@jvseventeen]

I feel very similar honestly. As a teenager I thought I could be autistic but at the time it was seen as a "bad thing" and mostly a thing for boys, so I never bothered to mention it while I was in therapy (which I hugely regret because now I can't afford general therapy much less a diagnosis). I also didn't realize there was so much variation to it because I only ever saw/ heard about autism in regards to people on the low-functioning and non-verbal end of the spectrum. Anyway, now as an adult with access to even better resources than I did back then, and seeing (from yt/tiktok/etc) other people's experiences with the autism spectrum.. I just get more and more convinced that younger-me was probably right. But as you said, it's not so much a self-diagnosis as a self-theory. I think about it like this: If I go to the doctor and think I've got an ear infection, they probably won't start by looking at my toes, because the issue is likely in my ear. Having an idea of what you might be dealing with can't hurt, so long as you don't start trying to self-treat or argue with actual doctors and whatnot.

So I made them have autism so I could relate more to them and one thing that just instantly clicked was the idea that they love the way the headphones vibrate when loud music is playing And I didn't know why it clicked so fast in my mind until I realized that that is literally one of my stims so like are there any stims that people don't realize they have until they actually think abt it?

[@PuffTastic]

for any undiagnosed people reading the comments, you'll get through it! I'm on a 4 year + waiting list and being female I was missed by the healthcare system and listed as dramatic by everyone in my life, when i discovered what autism was a year ago I cried but it wasn't fully out of sadness, I felt a wave of happiness because for once in my life I felt like I'd clocked it and everything that I'd ever struggled with or experience suddenly just all made sense in that one moment so it was an overwhelming amount of information to take in at once. At the time I was 14 so I rely and still rely on my mom (that changes in 10 days) to refer me to healthcare (healthcare in the UK is accessible to minors under the age of 16 with parental permission, some cases being exceptions depending on the circumstance, once you turn 16 you can book an appointment yourself I assume, I'm not too looked up on how it works so if I got it wrong please let me know) she didn't believe me at first dismissing me telling me I would've been diagnosed a long time ago before coming back a week later and saying she'd actually looked into it and was concerned, with the permission from my school i was then referred to my doctor who then made me do a questionnaire in which I scored 9/10 so I was then referred on to CAMHS. 6 months later i was put on a waiting list after my first assessment in which I was told formal diagnosis could potentially take anything from 4 to more years, by the time i am diagnosed i will be at least 18 at the minimum, i am to receive speech and language therapy soon under CAMHS requirements and the official paperwork for that was signed around 2 months ago and so far nothings happened, its gonna be a long wait but coming to terms with my kind of awkward position is getting easier slowly, you can do this! Try to form connections with people on the spectrum, they can often explain some things to you you may be experiencing that you don't fully understand or just be there as a form of support as i know autism is an extremely mentally isolating disability, being able to relate to people when you've felt different all your life is an amazing feeling and i really recommend it! Keep going it'll be worth it in the end :)

She doesn't know I have Autism, but she definitely knows I have sensory issues ( A lot more than you ordinary Neurotypical) Like- come ON man Edit: She always called me a picky eater and always says "You don't like anything" When I groan seeing the dinner she's made. It's not that she isn't a good cook, its just the texture, taste ect. that always gets me!

[@-Riley121-]

My parents: *saying how I shouldn't get fidget toys because those are meant for people with ADHD, ADD, and Autism, saying I don't have any of those because I can sit still and then asking why I want them* Me: *thinking about all my autistic symptoms that I have had since I was basically able to walk* "...I just like them, I guess..!" Also me the next day: "Where the heck are my spiral rubber bands?! And I lost my noise cancelling ear plugs too?!" *Aggravated internal noises*

[@amalittlekidwhodraws9628]

I’m late diagnosed and I have no idea how my parents didn’t know I was on the spectrum. I literally had a blankey (small blanket for babies) until I was 14…. And also if I didn’t do all my homework for the week by Tuesday I would cry. It was all just labeled as bad habits and being sensitive.

[@Crumpled_Towelie]

Hey just a heads up, there are flashing lights from 1:00 to 1:24!! Stay safe everyone!!

[@crow.wcue_yt]

a relate lot to all of this but my mother says I have nothing wrong with me because I'm "the perfect child"

[@IceCreamSplat]

oh lmao the sarcasm thing. Before I realized I was autistic I used to get mad at my friends when they were sarcastic because they were "doing it wrong" because according to my sarcasm rules that was not how you did it, so I had to correct them about it. LMFAO

[@37789]

6:27 that happed today and I wrote •air helps flight •air has pressure •air exists 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Thecollectoristheruler]

At 6:52 i really relate to this i never understood it either until i saw this video, i just kidna also wrote down either whatever the person beside me wrote or somethjng inliked or just a random thing from it, very stressful i agree

[@BahamutEx]

So much relatable stuff in these tiktoks...(and a selftest was kinda hinting that I might be autistic) So I plan to get tested. :3

[@Bea-rq1uf]

ILY FOR THIS

[@Simplypipes]

You know, this video is really making me feel like I should go to a doctor……

[@vennneziano]

Nice to see im not the only one,

[@djn4057]

I'm not the only one who makes fake conversations in my head!?!!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!?!!! 4:23. I have found my People. Before you come at me I have most Symptoms of autism

[@Solacedew]

0:18 lmfaooo tell that to my mom who constantly ignores the fact i have autism unless when its convenient to her

[@Preppy_Glisten]

As an autistic person when I saw “your parents should have unalived you already” I got super angry like who would do that for being different also “this is why I don’t vaccinate my kids”!? I found out I was autistic before I got vaccinated omg why can I relate tho Anyways thx for reading my aut talk (see what I did there? No? Ah well)

[@lindyzuurmond405]

2:02 I do this whenever I'm brushing my teeth, then my other hand does this. And when I play badminton, then the hand without holding a racket does it too 😜

[@bird_b0nezz]

I love chips… hot chips specifically. They are my safe food,I have had hundreds of different types of chips, I love them, I’m gender fluid and and autistic, social norms make, literally no sense to me. I love rain, rats,and my special interest thing is mushrooms. Does anyone else with autism relate to being super sarcastic but then when someone else is sarcastic is confused you? That happens all the time for me

[@overlyfixated21]

Haha! It seems like we're really similar people, hot chips are so my safe food! Although I like potato chips too!!!! Although I'm not gender fluid I am trans so yeah that!! Also the sarcasm! Yeah! I use sarcasm all the time but I have to ask "Are you being sarcastic right now?" it's stressful LOL

[@silentglacierfang]

1:35, a stim that I would rate -5/10 is mouth biting. I cause waaayyyy too many sores in my mouth to form by biting or scraping the inside with my teeth half the time without realising I'm doing it.

[@Th3D0cT0r_11]

3:07 So it is autism and not me being tramatized Finally. All my friends will come back

[@kissit012]

Gender is a social concept so it makes perfect sense that autistic people don’t identify with or get the norms. I saw what was happening, knew what they wanted me to do, and did my own thing anyway because it’s more reasonable and fits me better.

[@PsychoSeven]

My teacher really be like: “the tone you used is rude” and “you made a expression like you didn’t care” LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN-

[@pleasebequietihaveaheadache]

6:27 WHAT. WAHT. W H A T . THQT’S WHY?? I DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE TO FIND TINY THINGS I ACTUALLY DIDN’T KNOW IN A VIDEO FULL OF STUFF I ALREADY KNEW?? W HA T. this is going to make stuff so much easier 😭

[@kitkatmelon]

I don't have an official diagnosis but I think I'm autistic and relating to everything in this video just confirms it

[@superhellcitizen]

WAIT THATS WHAT TEACHERS MEAN ⁉️⁉️ This is shocking information and I will inform all of my friends. Thank you for this message xx

[@kissit012]

Better to inform the teachers to communicate better

[@peaceoutgirscouts]

6:28 I love her hair!❤

[@Simplyabandkid]

1:49 HELP I DO ALL OF THESE BUT I’M STILL NT AND UNDIAGNOSED LMAO

[@marzettik]

Stimming is a mood! 😂❤

[@JB.Junebug]

Im going to show my mom the "aspergers is no longer a diagnosis one" because she insists on using it for me and using the terms "higher/lower functioning". It really bothers me and ive tried to explain to her that its wrong but she wont listen to me cuz she doesnt like it when things change.

[@linachan4912]

I disagree with the person at 2:21 I’m on the autism spectrum and prefer people use person first language. Because being autistic isn’t my identity, it’s just one part of who I am as a person. Also it’s kinda strange to label someone by their medical diagnosis. I also have IBS, but I’d never refer to myself as an IBS adult.

[@bath_foam4576]

i guess its a person to person thing?

[@LIsAlwaysSleepy]

I just wanted to add my perspective (I am autistic) everytime I personally have had some use person first language in reference to me, it has been by their own explanation because it reminds people that autistic people/people with autism are deserving of respect. Personally my opinion is if someone has to use people first language to remember not to be disrespectful then they never had any actual respect. There's also the opinion that children need person first so they don't feel bad about themselves for the autism... which wouldn't be a problem if they (neurotypicals) didn't demonize autism in the first place. This is, of course just my experience and why I personally prefer identity first language. Preferred language is obviously up to the individual, I just struggle with person first language due to the amount of times it has been used for me patronizingly and against my wishes or have had non autistic people just straight up tell me im wrong for my preference

[@randomxstuff]

Thank you for adding your perspective! For me, I prefer identity first language because my autism is how my brain works and changes how I think and behave. It isn't just a part of me, it is how I see the world and interact with it. This is just my experience, feel free to disagree.

[@Marispider]

That's fair, I feel like it's a case by case thing and people shouldn't worry too much about which is the right one. I don't have a real preference - I usually say "autistic people" because it's shorter than "people with autism" but I use them interchangeably (unless I'm talking about someone specific and they have a preference) - but from my understanding people who prefer identity-first language do so because they don't want their autism to be seen as something that can be outgrown/cured/ignored, or as something that they should be distanced from.

[@kalimera3452]

Yeah. If you are autistic, your brain is literally wired different. Everything that you do and think comes from an autistic brain. You cannot separate autism from the person. Therefore, I prefer “autistic person” rather than “person with autism.” The latter makes it seem it’s a separate ailment of some kind, when it is not an ailment, just a different brain type that will never go away/can never be removed or rewired.

[@icringeatmyself2222]

waaaaaaaait WHY DID THAT JUST CLICK 6:46 DUDE, I THOUGHT I WAS JUST DUMB OR SOME SHIT-
