Hey, Dan, my boyfriend Joel Lane is the same way. When Joel and I video chat, he likes to take crayons and put them in the pot and melt them once they cool down, take his finger and dip his finger in the pot and until the melted crayon is on his finger, roll it around until it gets hard. Sounds weird, but true. Shirts, Joel is the same way. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@TheAspieWorld]

Hey Melissa, Joel sounds awesome! You are more than welcome for the video, thank you so much for the comment and thank you for the kind words!!!

I was married to a man with Asperger syndrome for over 30 years. It was little difficult in the beginning, because I didn't understand his behavior sometimes. You know years ago people weren't diagnosed with it. After I realized what is the problem my life changed ( I think family needs to be educated in this matter) I really had a good marriage . He was sarcastic sometimes. I remember one time I said I think I have some Neanderthal in me ( when studying my genealogy) He said " I knew that for sure. I had fun watching how other people reacted to his sarcasm. It was funny sometimes and I was waiting to see people reaction and really I had fun .He always said what he thought, no mercy. We could talk for hours as we both were interested in similar things. Traveled South America together. I was never bored. He rarely give me complements, but when I worked he always prepared dinner for me and waited , even if it was 4am ( I'm a nurse ) . I really miss him ( he died from leukemia) and I wish we had more wonderful years together. Occasionally he had anxiety. He learned how to deal with it. Usually he took 50 mg of Benadryl and took a nap. No driving after he took that. I can say I had wonderful life with him

Bernadeta Baniukiewicz sounds like you want to label him with something he did not have.. Doctors miss the mark often trying to diagnose folk. Everybody's different not one of us are the same and that's beautiful... The powers that be want a monolithic world of people.

I admire you for wanting to help people understand. My son is 22 and had aspergers. People at work would make fun of him and call him awkward when he was a teenager. He withdrew. Change is a big fear. He uses the headphones to listen to music and cancel out everything around him. He quit a job because his supervisor left and he couldn't cope with the change. I wish people could be more understanding. You rock!!

[@foofighter0724]

I feel like, as an adult with ASD, I have developed a sarcasm so advanced that when I try joking that way with other people they tend to look at me like I am crazy. Also, I tend to be either too serious or facetious in social situations to try to fit in. It’s hit or miss lol.

I have to explain to managers when I go in to a new workplace, that if I sound sarcastic, I'm not trying to (because I'm trying to sound neurotypical). However, if I DON'T sound sarcastic, I totally am.

[@nathanthompson9254]

Yep that's basically me all the way. I have a hard time slowing down and thinking before I speak or how what I say may affect someone. I am sarcastic yes, but when I feel bad like sick or in a bad mood it goes from slightly sarcastic to downright nasty! I usually try to avoid people, talking to them when I am having a so-called bad day!

Wait, is this another Autistic thing? Because I often do this. I want someone to get to the point, and get frustrated when they whinge on and on when I've already understood what they're on about. I have learned not to be rude about it. People just talk to be heard for emotional satisfaction, rather than having some deeper point.

[@ethancooke593]

I'm actually the opposite when it comes to the speed at which I talk. I talk pretty slowly. However, my language skills have proven to be far above average. Of course, that's only the case when I have plenty of time to think it over. It's kind of funny; I'm a great writer, but at what cost? I always overthink it when I'm commenting on something or replying to someone, and I almost never make any errors in my comments/messages, but it takes me a very long time to finally post the comment. When it comes to talking face to face, I'm extremely awkward. It takes me much longer to process what they're saying. I can't even correctly respond on time when someone says "hello" to me, and I usually just awkwardly smile until I figure out what to say. By that point, however, they've already moved on. Here's another gift/curse I have; when it comes to commenting/messaging, I tend to say more than I really need to. I'm sure other people would've just stuck with the first sentence in this comment, but, obviously, I added a lot more.

[@Blueravenclaw13]

One of my friends has autism and I'm trying to learn about autism so I can understand him better. Now I think I'm somewhat on the spectrum. I wear the same outfits on most weeks. I hate bright lights and loud noises and very strong smells I can't stand. Whenever me and my family go out to eat I can the same thing every time. Also I like knowing the detail on every single thing. Also I tend to take things too literally. I'm very interested in Legos, DnD, harry potter, also space.

[@aikou2886]

I hate loud noises as well, specifically motors such as blenders, big trucks and whatnot. Besides the very specific interests there also also authistic/artistic interests. Do you happen to have one? I think mine is programming but apparently I can also draw pretty well (I suck at coloring traditionally but that's another story).

On top of that my girlfriend also has Aspergers and she understands me better than myself too. For a while before I met her and watched this video, I was bullied in High school and college for having this disability. Most of it was physical bullying (ass getting kicked) and mental. I even got kicked out from college for being autistic and it was during my finals so my gpa went from a 2.08 to a 1.3 and they won’t fix it.

When I read, I play with my hair (I used to, at least, not so much anymore). I also hate change in routine. I hate sauces on food, and outside of chicken, the smooth part, I hate. I don’t have any smell issues. I am horrible with noise. Loud people are infuriating and overwhelming. I make bracelets, but after a few months, I usually stop, and a year later it picks up again (so I’m probably slightly obsessed). I always wear jeans, and a sweatshirt. I have around ten different shirts. I understand sarcasm, and jokes sometimes. I have social anxiety, and people in groups of more than 6 are stressful. People tell me to slow down while talking. I mostly understand you, but it’s barely annoying. I take things WAY too literally.

[@shadowfox933]

I have gotten many shirts for birthdays and the like over the course of time, but I only ever wear about nine or ten of them (and most of those I bought for myself) As far as speaking quickly goes, I usually only have that problem when I'm speaking other languages. And the sounds. Just...no. I got a pair of noise canceling headphones and decided to try them out at a mall, and I finally understood why people liked being there. At 21 years old, I had my first ever decently positive experience at a shopping center. I also have a problem when there are too many things making sound at once, but that's a bit harder to find a solution for

[@laceyscott908]

Carolyn Lyford Sullivan Thank you for being so self-aware and open minded as to admit you did things wrong. I did too.. my twin boys are 3 yrs old. I’ve learned to forgive myself because a) It seems highly genetic in the sense that I myself have many of their ‘autistic’ traits, and b) It seems highly inherent/genetic in what my boys naturally choose to focus on. So only if I had known their tendencies in advance could I have really helped avoid the downsides (Remember they/I often, maybe even always, have/had special gifts/skills!)... Also I believe that it is never too late to improve unpleasant symptoms; I can see tons of learning or calming potential in the adults with developmental disabilities for whom I work. :) It just gets *harder* to break habits with age/time. If the habits are consistently replaced with more helpful or empowering ones, well, they can mostly disappear. I know this because of myself...

Yes! I don't know if someone is being sarcastic unless I know them relatively well. If a stranger is sarcastic I usually don't "get" it, and I'm the only person sitting there with a blank face looking confused. Also, at a new job there was this customer who'd come in "pretending" to be angry and upset right away. The first time he did it I almost started to cry I was so scared. It took me a while to get used to the 'act', I got upset for quite a few times.

I'd love to learn more about the unique circimstances/symptoms that arise from a comorbidity of autism and ADHD.

[@_MYSTIC_]

I'm doing a degree right now in Religion, philosophy and ethics. You know...just for fun. I'm really into the esoteric, occult and demonology subjects. I'm learning those from a Bishop which is cool but thought a degree to round things out would be cool. I absoloutely LOVE to learn, study, research. It's like an addiction. And boy can you direct that hyper focus. Although I'd never actually recommend it I actually stayed up a full 52 hours straight once, studying, taking breaks only for meals or to the bathroom. And yes I was exhausted afterwards. I did get 2 weeks ahead at uni though.

[@wanderingcommenter303]

Symptoms I had as a baby/toddler: -Doctors thought I was deaf and then told my parents I had selective hearing (after a few hearing tests where I ignored them) -I wouldn’t respond to my name if I was busy with something or distracted. -I had to have one dummy (pacifier) on each digit and one in my mouth or I wouldn’t sleep, I would cry and scream all night. -I would try to see how toys worked. -I wasn’t interested in other people and would be in my own world. -{toddler/child}- -I wouldn’t talk to people at nursery and I would play by myself instead -If my socks weren’t ‘perfect’ I would just scream and cry ((I deal with this now by wearing my socks inside out)). -I used to talk about dogs ALL THE TIME. I had books about them, would always ask about them and stroke all the ones I saw. -It was as a child I started pinching my lip a lot, I do it especially when I’m nervous (I still do it now). -Also for as long as I can remember I have HATED any type of sauce or anything that smells bad. -{in general now}- -I’m obsessed with ladybirds and dogs (I talk about them a lot and people tell me to stop) -I repeat myself a lot -I’m very intelligent and am great academically -I’m terrible at small talk -I would rather be alone than with a stranger -I always cut labels out my clothes -I get excruciating migraines when it’s too bright/ too loud and have sunglasses to stop that -I can usually see lights flickering and when I point it out people say they can’t see it -I don’t get sarcasm or jokes at all -I struggle with eye contact. -My parents, two best friends with ASD, their parents, and my other friend (who hasn’t got ASD but is dyslexic and has dyscalculia) all think I have autism. My mum says she wants to wait until I’m older for a diagnosis because she doesn’t want me to have a label..

[@nathanthompson9254]

I am told now I have selective hearing. It's not funny but peculiar how I can be paying attention to the best of my knowledge to someone talking to me and then when I reply or repeat what they said, they actually didn't say what I thought I heard, said something totally different, or I completely missed a large section of what was said either at the beginning or end as if it wasn't there at all in the first place. It's scary that this happens.

I don’t have Aspergers but I can totally relate to feeling extreme irritation from sound and noises. I really prefer silence. Also I can become obsessive about areas of interest to the point where I drive other people crazy.

[@seancurry5991]

I tend to ruminate over useless topics. For instance, I know a lot about old tube television sets. I used to be obsessed with this model of television set, the Toshiba MD13Q4. It had stereo AV RCA inputs and an orange coaxial jack. I used to spot one every time we went out. They were made from 2000 to 2007, in the United States that is. My problem was, I went to a smelly pet shop and there was a TV like the one I just mentioned. The smell became permanently ingrained into my memory of that type of TV set. When I saw one, it used to gross me out.

the worst thing for me is travelling i cant travel on a packed train travelling on a train is bad enough but when its packed i just cant do it iv been known to wait an extra 3 hours on the platform just for a train thats quiet enough for me , that said i once got trapped on a train with a lot of loud shouty football fans chanting and singing causing havoc and i ended up having a meltdown its even worse if im not used to the route im travelling or im travelling somewhere i havent been before

I have Aspergers and I agree with alot of with what this guy is saying. I have sensory noise issues with diesel exhaust pipes from big trucks,The Revving of engines from Motorcycles,And the sound of tires on wet pavement. I also have sensory issues where I can not stand the sense of water from a shower coming down and wetting my hair. The same with the rain water. My obsessive topic of interest is video gaming,Ufo's River's and current's and the way they flow. I have a very particular kind of clothing I like like soft pant's like work out pants or slack's.

I can't be in a room with florescent lights, the long ones. I have tinnitus, the ringing in the ears. I was diagnosed at 3 yrs. with HD, hyperactive. The Dr put me on Ritalin. Your list has me 9 out of 10. I knew some things about autism 30 yrs ago, I was working with some very severely autistic kids.

my kiddo does understand sarcasm though, but her dad and I are both extremely sarcastic, so she has gotten huge doses of it, and is good at dishing it out. She is also good at traveling, but we don't drive, so to visit family it always involved a subway/bus to NYC and then a bus/train to family. Now after doing this with us for 10 years I realized she was leading us through the Port Authority bus thermal to the right gate for the bus home. Which meant going to the basement level to cross from the south to the north building, then up to the 2nd floor.

[@shadowfox933]

I had to learn at a very young age how to turn a meltdown into a "shutdown" because it was made very clear by the actions of others that meltdowns would result in punishment. So I would take corner seats in every class I could just in case I couldn't deal with people at any given time. That almost worked, except for the fact that I stopped showing any emotion at all usually, and, as such, me showing my emotions has become a warning of sorts that I'm on the verge of a meltdown

I am 40 years old in March and I am pretty sure I was misdiagnosed as a child.

Is it a symptom to, before calling someone days in advance, practise what you are going to say over and over again and to pick a specific time in order to call them?

[@SwampCeeMcGee60]

PsychedelicManic Incarnations I tend to do that because I suck at conversation. Lol.

[@goeledeckers]

Completely! I do have extreme phone anxiety, which has to do with my autism too. I usually even write out what I'm going to say, at least at the beginning of the conversation and I write down the time I'm going to call in my agenda.

[@TheAspieWorld]

YES, I do this.

[@SwampCeeMcGee60]

The Aspie World I also do it. I assumed it was a part of my "shyness/anxiety." I always asked myself why I had an extremely hard time with things other shy people eventually had ease with. These videos just intrigue me more about my struggles in the past and present. I have a question. Do you have trouble with driving? I absolutely hate it despite knowing what to do. I end up getting extreme anxiety and headaches and seizure-like episodes with mood swings and I'll sometimes get anxiety enough to tge point of crying. Is this a symptom, or a result of anxiety, which I was diagnosed with?

[@allisonschempf2230]

PsychedelicManic Incarnations I have to script, but still dread having to talk on the phone. It's harder to pick up on cues and have a reciprocal, meaningful/productive conversation. I prefer using my natural asynchronous communication style if it's ok with the other person.

[@torsch69]

I appreciate you posting this video. Most of these traits describe my daughter, though our doctors have not diagnosed anything. She suffers from severe social anxiety. For instance, she did not want to join a Zoom call with her softball team until I got her to put on a mask, then she was fine. To see her with her friends you would never know this as she gets goofy and is a complete cut up. However, in many social settings, she withdraws and won't vocalize. Yet, she has her own KZbin channel where she makes funny videos. She writes and records rap songs, but she would never perform them in public.

[@adamstone2727]

I can’t believe I found this video. I am on the spectrum and didn’t know videos like this exist. I share most of the symptoms you pointed out. I’m high functioning and live on my own, but have my problems. When you mentioned airports or crowded places, it made me nervous just thinking about it. I also have the obsession part and my girlfriend laughs at me (in a playful way) about the fact that I remember all kinds of random (to her) stuff like which seats we sat in at a restaurant over a year before. I was diagnosed as an adult (I’m older and you were just considered awkward when I was a kid). I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I miss social cues all the time (I just don't get it), I also have multiple outfits of multiple of the same shirts, pants, etc. I am extremely over-sensitive to any food with gritty/sandy texture (meltdown), bitter, or if a food that should be hot is cold, I can't. I have to get rid of it. I walk on my toes (don't know if that's an aspie thing or not 😉) I carry a packet of industrial earplugs in my pocket to help with hypersensitivity to sound.

I know how that is.

They told me that that wouldn't happen and then one month later they fired me saying that I had cussed at my manager and I don't cuss. Even the places that are supposed to help this community don't listen to the employees who voice a concern. And another job fired me because I asked please don't cuss at me when you talk to me, I don't like cussing. The work place is so discriminating to people on the spectrum. Even the laws of the state that I live in protect the employers and they can get away with firing someone without any explanation. I don't think that that is right.

I appreciate watching these videos, because I try to understand my dad. A lot of the things you mention are what my dad does. My dad does like to keep a routine, he always asks when we’ll have dinner or what time we will be back if we go out, etc. If his food gets to cold, he will reheat it. He has very very sensitive hearing, but his sense of smell isn’t that great....could people with Aspergers not have sensitive smells? He can get very obsessive in topics of history, he is a walking encyclopedia! He tends to wear the same thing on a daily basis or the same colors-he likes Blue tops. He has a good and different sense of humor. Sometimes people don’t get it. He has extreme social anxiety- I have seen him have panic attacks. And if he has coffee, he talks too fast, and is uppity. Thanks for sharing this!

I only recently figured out that I'm an Aspie (about two years ago). Now, I occasionally realize that someone I know (or know of) simply *must* have Asperger's, and I'm often tempted to bring it up with them, but I believe many folks believe this is not good. I think someone told me I might be an Aspie, and maybe that's how I got into researching it a bit and figuring it out, and I'm happy to have realized this. Thoughts?

[@mikes4721]

Thanks for this: very honest and so helpful! The thing is, as a teacher, I still don't know where to go teaching kids on the spectrum. This is not helped by the fact that none of my students have English as a first language and so feel genuine frustration when they want to express themselves to me. "Zoning out" is also a major issue because it means they never participate in class and thus, never learn anything. However, I can appreciate that for many of them, it is a way of coping. Confronted with this, I still wish I knew a way to help these guys learn.

Everyone has different symptoms so it’s rly annoying when people say I definitely don’t have it when they aren’t even a doctor and they don’t even know that it’s different for everyone

Kiz Bathurst I’m dealing with the exact same thing right now trying to convince my family members... every time I try to explain what I’m dealing with they always talk over me or say things like “people with Aspergers don’t look like you” or “so and so has it and you don’t act like them”. It’s extremely frustrating and it’s even harder since I grew up rather isolated and never really opened up about what I was dealing with to any of my family members until now so they just think I’m overthinking or making things up. I have all of the issues and symptoms brought up in this video but they just won’t listen to me. I’m planning on getting a proper diagnosis soon but it’s especially difficult when you’re an adult and no one else believes what you’re telling them.

Hi Kiz Bathurst. I know exactly what you mean. However, you are probably aware that Asperger's symptoms can present very differently in females. We had a battle with people understanding our little girl, even though she was diagnosed last autumn aged 9. Professor Tony Attwood is a world leader is Aspergers in females. Watch some of his video's on youtube. He's amazing X

They think it makes you slow for some reason

[@steinistein8611]

Even if you had all of the symptoms, please don't say "I HAVE Asperger's", say "I probably have.." or "it's likely that I have..", self-diagnosing is often not a good thing, especially with something as complex as aspergers. Maybe it's something else entirely. Until you get diagnosed from a professional, you shouldn't say that.

It’s soooooooo annoying when a random person suddenly becomes a psychologist autism expert when you say you have the condition... 😐
