[@theacousticdolphin4891]

I would like the comment but I can’t cuz ur at 69 likes so I can’t be the person to change that

[@jess34328]

May only be funny to me but I love how the sentence “Irish Jesus” now conjures images of Sean and Hozier in tandem 😂

[@ProcrastinationQueen]

ADHD and Autism is a very common overlap of diagnosis (I have both myself!), and it helped me a lot when I found out I had Autism as well! So I would definitely suggest getting it checked when you feel like it 😊

[@rosebrown6381]

Yeah, same. My autism diagnosis was as an adult, but my ADHD and dyslexia diagnosis was as a very young kid. There is so much overlap, it can be hard to get everything diagnosed properly. And my autism effects me more socially (I miss a lot of cues on stuff) but it still is part of my brain and I need to know how to handle that as well.

[@sarahlister868]

Seconding this 100%!

[@emilyduke4255]

100% agree. Honestly they are so common to have together that if you get diagnosed with one you should probably at least look into the other one automatically. Like just read some stuff and see if you think its worth being assessed. I was diagnosed with ASD about 2 years ago and then with ADHD last year and I'm so happy I looked into ADHD some more after my autism diagnosis cause if I hadn't I wouldn't know myself as well as I do now

[@georgia2321]

6:15 tbh I trust Seán & Ethan to solve humanity wayyy more than I trust the people who are currently in charge

[@brooksbrocc]

Sean saying he might be autistic made me almost cry cause I've been questioning if I am for like 4 years now, and I've been watching his videos for close to 10. We are all magnetically connected without knowing. So many of my favorite creators have been realizing lately, that they might be on the spectrum or have adhd. Being neurodiverget can be really isolating, but the fact that the people i find comfort in are also like me in so many ways says a lot.

[@NxrmitaH]

i feel the same way 🥹

[@invaderaries7364]

If he ever decides to get evaluated to see whether or not he's on the spectrum, it's probably going to be an absolute nightmare for him to find someone who does autism evaluations for adults. I was originally diagnosed in 2010 and my mom and I have spent the last two years trying to find someone like that for me to be reevaluated (as part of us fighting the government to get my social security back and to see where I am on the spectrum since I got worse after the year 2017, which is when I graduated high school, and even worse due to covid) because everyone we got referred to did evaluations for children instead of adults Edit: Forgot to add when I was originally diagnosed and that my mom and I are trying to get me reevaluated. I need help finding my brain sometimes 😅

[@Spencer-F0x]

19:00 Listening to this while taking astronomy courses is a trip! On the first day of class, my prof actually posed that question, “why don’t we just shoot nuclear waste into space?” And then he played a montage of various rockets exploding or crashing back to earth; “humanity doesn’t have a great track record with accurately launching things into space”

[@Notajellyfish]

I'm so glad you asked! I have actually got one more tooth in my mouth since last episode; I have a wisdom tooth coming through! As with more teeth there also comes more ageing. And you know who is ageing? Everyone, but we must celebrate each year as a milestone and today we celebrate Sean. Happy Birthday Sean! Stay leaky. (You asked us to give you a strange and unique birthday message and then mentioned teeth, what else was I supposed to say...)

[@georgieforks3991]

Ethan really just gave the plot of the disney movie WALL·E lmao

[@finny3990]

I feel you Sean. My therapist thinks I am autistic and we talked about it and I did some research about getting a diagnosis. And I came to the conclusion that having a diagnosis wouldn't help me right now. It's complicated to get an appointment and I have to wait some months and I wouldn't have any benefits from it (except knowing). Also as german a 23yo person, I am not at all satisfied with my life and neither are my friends.

[@abbytwining6650]

About the pollution thing- my dad is actually working with a team of agricultural experts who are working on a plant that will absorb carbon from the air and store it in the ground (where it’s naturally stored) for at least a hundred years!

[@469ka37]

That's the thing isn't it, people aren't the pollutant but more so the systems in place that make it hard to solve pollution which were created by literally like the 1%ers.

[@jeremyzapsmash]

Isn't that every plant from photosynthesis or am I misunderstanding?

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

My two most detested misquotes are: 1.) _”I could care less,”_ instead of _couldn’t._ 2.) _“So don’t I,”_ which literally means the opposite of what is intended by those saying it. People use it to agree with somebody else’s dislike. The correct response, of course, being _“Neither do I!”_ I can’t help myself! 🎵 _I Hate These Word Crimes!_ 🎵 Cue the Weird Al Song! Also: Happy 34th Birthday, Seán… Ya Spring Chicken! Love, Your Leaky Old Ghost Lady (Eww), Lesley 🧠👀🧠👀

[@Donika691]

I've literally never heard "So don't I" before. It was always "neither do I" for me. I guess there is a lot I am unaware of because I spend so little time on social media.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

@@Donika691 “So don’t I” might be specific to me. It’s one of those responses I’ve heard a shit-ton in my life and it makes about as much sense as “I could care less.” 💚😂😂💚

My nan was 96 still going around. She would pack in wood, go out fishing, out in boat, gardening everything I can do in my 20s. She even still had brown hair with no greys in sight. Right after she turned 97 she had a stroke and was never the same after. Couldn’t really walk without help. She started forgetting everyone. Shortly after she was 98 she passed 💔 she was a huge part of my life, my second mom. I lost a part of my heart that day. I hope I’m so limber as her when I get her age.

There's certainly plenty of us that are laughing and enjoy everything you do and always will. Never doubt your comedy genius man! ❤❤ We love you!! 🥰

[@InfernalPanda]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN🎉 I’ve been on a kick watching your older videos lately. It’s been amazing to go back and see how much you’ve evolved! I’ve been relating so hard to you and Ethan lately when you guys talk about losing confidence as you get older, and still not really knowing who you are and what you want. But I hope you know that everyone here is happy to just have you here, no matter how you choose to present yourself. Whatever version of you that you decide YOU want to be is the version we will love seeing most. I hope this year brings you comfort, clarity, CONFIDENCE, and above all, happiness!

"I just have a wikipedia of actors in my head." Sean put it into words

[@Getintheforeverbox]

Happy Birthleakday Jack! Also as someone who has A Vitamin D deficiency, I think it’s supposed to make you feel more energized but like Jack said, I haven’t noticed a difference much whenever I do take supplements.

[@mlafou]

I'm on Vit D as where I live I don't get a lot of sunlight as we should. Check b12 levels and iron levels...mine were both very low, did the iron infusions and b12 shots, and I finally felt like I had energy. Just a suggestion.

[@469ka37]

It's probably because supplements aren't as effective as getting Vitamin D "naturally", by which I mean your body doesn't absorb it well. As a person with a reoccurring iron deficiency one of the main things I have to do is take vitamin C with it so it actually absorbs. Idk what that would be for Vitamin D as that's something you usually get from the sun, so I don't know what would help it absorb better than it currently is.

[@GothicMaximalist]

So the problem with vitamins and minerals, is peoples expectations of them. There are plenty of them that you won't necessarily FEEL the difference, but your body does, your body still benefits from those vitamins and minerals. They are all just one piece of the larger puzzle of overall health and well being.

[@VegaNorth]

33:39 Here’s the thing: Getting tested for ASD would only be helpful if you can get yourself accommodations at a workplace. Otherwise, the stigma is too great, Sean. Fr, I wouldn’t get immediately tested ‘cause that stigma from the diagnosis could hurt more than help.

[@Notajellyfish]

Wouldn't a diagnosis of a popular KZbinr be a great resource in destigmatising ASD? (I'm not trying to be rude - just a thought -I have autism myself and am annoyed at how under-represented we are)

[@emilyduke4255]

As an autistic person who is unemployed. I have to disagree. Getting a diagnosis can be helpful for many things beside workplace accommodations. Being diagnosed was life changing for me. It changed the way I viewed myself and the people around me, it allowed me to connect with others like me, it helped me find coping mechanisms and new ways of doing things, it changed the way I engaged with therapy. There's more too but that's just what immediately came to mind. That doesn't mean that formal diagnosis is right for everybody and many people are okay with self-identifying and that's awesome. But everyone just needs to consider what's right for them and weigh ALL the benefits against ALL the risks.

[@VegaNorth]

@@Notajellyfish I totally get it! If Sean did, it’d be a great and wholesome way for folks to accept ASD more… it’s just that even after all this time, I highly doubt professional spheres and the larger populace would accept a KZbinr even one as big as JackSepticEye. 😓 There ought to be a multi-pronged coalition to get rid of the stigma.

Something funny for me actually about them saying ages that end with 9 being the time you make the biggest life decisions is when I was 19 I moved across the country to live with my boyfriend. We met May 1st at a mutual friend’s wedding that we both almost ended up not going too, 4 months later on August 15th we started dating, and then 3 months after that on November 15th I moved from Washington to Ohio which was also my first time on a plane. It’s still the best decision ever made I just find it ironic that after I turned 19 I uprooted my whole life to go live with a man I had basically just met 😂. Still going almost 3 years strong though babyyyyyyyyy!!!
