Autism Talk TV - Ep. 14 - Be Different

[@jls0037cslewis1]

Had this my whole life and didn't know it. I wondered why life seemed harder for me than others. My personal appearance opened doors for me, but they were doors I could not function in. This is all a shock realy. My roomate I found out had autism, we are both christians and it seems God has used this to teach me even about myself. Also, a girl who has been my best friend these years is also, I guess my own kept me from really noticing it or understanding it but God has finaly revealed it.

[@FlawlesZMa]

I´m also a christian (woman) and have a father who is self diagnosed with aspergers, there´s a chance I have it too, but it´s not visible or very little to others. But I have always struggled in life in various things. Especially with too much things going on it stresses me. I would like to talk to you and hear your story as you are a christian if you would see this.

[@123ManCat]

I may just have fallen in love, dear god.

[@emuman100]

I love you guys, thank you all of you. The contributions that you've made to the community we are fully in debted to.

[@kelannegeorgeson7702]

Kirsten is soooooo pretty!!! Omigosh :)

[@timmychanofficial]

Yeah really insane beauty

[@Mrfurball25]

Yep you got that right

[@DiehardMechWarrior]

3:58 to ~ 4:18 Fuck, where was this when I was in middle school? Would've saved my ass.

[@mr.coffee5220]

I show heavy symptoms of Aspergers, but yet diagnosed. So I’m hoping I can go do that soon.

[@MarianoBulaBlackOrpheus]

this is more than just be different, we have to love ourselves for who we really are.

Keep developing Autism TV.. you are doing great !

[@SilverAphelion]

Kirsten have her own youtube channel ?

[@oglethorpezippelmeier2514]

I despise clothing tags too!

[@justinpool6407]

I like you guys. I have autism, or aspergers. I got my diagnosis August 10, 2017. I like the videos, thank you for producing and sharing the videos.

[@bucks614]

Hot + Intelligent + Very Well Spoken = Ideal Woman.

[@belengalli]

I love this guys! Bravo

[@bucks614]

These videos are really great and informative. Keep it up!

[@231swift]

Can someone do me a favour and write time stamps for me for literally every time Kirsten talks, example 1:15 - 2:06 don't want to watch this full video, but I do want to fall in love with someone I will never be able to meet or attain in a romantic way

[@aspiebiologist7810]

i feel you. do you think it is demeaning, though, to her as an autonomous person to be objectified by strangers so publicly blatant?

[@MikDonsen]

It`s so dam cute how awkward they all look.

[@emmettdoylemusic]

That's a misconception; rates appear higher in some communities due to better access to psychiatric health care. Many autistics and Aspies who are from marginalized communities go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because of substandard mental health care access. Here in MN, Somali immigrants, who benefit from mental health services provided by refugee aid associations, are diagnosed with a high rate of ASD. Every continent, ethnicity, and class has autistic people.

[@jls0037cslewis1]

@herpderpmonkey my first impression is at least others might quit bugging you about not being like everybody else. I am 34, so my parents don't realy care, I haven't told them because it doesn't make a difference I feel in my case. One day I might bring it up to help them understand me for their own sakes. I feel like it is a courtesy to others to inform them. It is not an excuse.

[@LordNifty]

Honestly, I think the ability to stay cool in a crisis comes from having to deal with a lack of an sensory shell during childhood. When you have to deal with overstimulation on a daily basis, and not just tune it out, crisis is not as unfamiliar a sensation.

[@newchapter9460]

Kirsten is so pretty

[@kxmode]

2:26 That's my problem. I honestly can't tell if someone is joking or if they're serious when they tell me things. It's like my brain simply cannot register they're telling me a joke. Other people obviously understand it's a joke, but I take it at face value. And then they tell me, "Relax. I was just kidding." I feel like 2 inches tall afterwards. I also talk about thing that extremely interest me. And I can't tell if the person I'm talking to is no longer interested. I wish I was normal.

[@GuacamoleKun]

Damn, how do I reply?? Meade Skelton: They seem normal because they've probably worked hard to seem normal, like a lot of us. Autism doesn't mean retarded or anything, not always. But it means being different, and in the beginning (when we're kids) that difference can be big, and in adulthood it can mean still thinking differently. But yes, we're all alike in more ways than we're different. :) Even low-functioning autistics.. we're all very similar. And they understand more than you think.

[@drrettner]

Dear Jack and Kirsten: I highly recommend that you watch the classic film "David and Lisa". Please watch it to the end. I think you will find it helpful and inspiring.

[@GoodMorningAspie]

Thank you VERY much for these informative things. I know I'll love the book. I have an idea for you, I once read on wrong planet about a conference about aspergers that you guys were to set up. I bearly had a chance to come to that or make an administration. Were can i get more detailed information, or can you recommend me any meetings or sites here in Europe?! Well i still would go to the states, but thats really far from me ;-) Thanks a lot..

[@bintrashid1008]

love your topic

[@ThatChainmecha]

you guys seem pretty cool

[@aspiebiologist7810]

it's saturday noon now, i should be (even beginning) working on a presentation due tomorrow morning to determine whether i am entitled to continue pursuing my PhD in Biology, and instead i'm watching youtubes and falling in love with Kirsten Lindsmith. Kirsten, you are stunningly beautiful, attractive and bright. You are a role model for aspies around the globe to look up to, you and your boyfriend and the people who surround you are amazingly lucky, i would watch you say "appropriately" all day long if i only could afford to, and i wish you the nothing but the best.

[@FatherToaSon]

I gotta get that book :) Awesome video .

[@SuperZombie17]

I got tested for autism when I was younger because of my teacher in primary school told my mum I had symptoms. How would I know if I had autism, my sister thinks I have aspergers.

[@flyigirl57]

Where can I get this book for resale?

[@terrimeakin-rosario9189]

omg, stop arguing..k thats better. you are great i wish i found this vid a couple years ago when i first ciscovered i am an aspie. now i have to watch all of them'

[@EmmysCoolVids123]

Cute couple are they still together

[@shanepye7078]

My three year old has autism. I have ADD, but I suspect its more than that. Thanks for the video. PS. Your beautiful Kristen!

[@MrNeptunebob]

Alex, you seem to have a collection of Izod shirts, is that becuase of the way they feel? Also, is John the guitarist?

[@noumnemonicon940]

GOOOODDDD IM GONNNA COOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@huwag9765]

this felt like one of those anime school club

[@micaholson1052]

I would not mind dating Kirsten, if given the chance.

[@robynsteward]

audio books are good ifyou are blind or have congntive processing differences

[@isthereasunthereisnt]

@kxmode People can still like you the way they are.

[@kxmode]

That is a big wall of books.

[@kxmode]

@isthereasunthereisnt Oh please don't misunderstand me. I am surrounded by people who understand my condition. An their empathetic to what I go through.

[@MarianoBulaBlackOrpheus]

all of us are different, we are all god's children!

[@MarianoBulaBlackOrpheus]

that's because god put us on this earth for a reason and he does not makes mistake and that's the way life is.

[@drrettner]

Let me know if you what you think of the ending after watching it.

[@noxure]

@LordNifty I don't think I can stay cool in a crisis, but some things just don't register to me as a crisis. The deepfry is on fire -> hmm... well, we have about 2 minutes before the entire kitchen is burning. I'll better go get a bucket of sand. *2 minutes later* problem solved. But then: Giving college goodbye present -> Okay, I just stand over here, she'll have a break about now. Let's not make it look weird... *suddenly* Oh no, she's taking the other door. My plan is foiled!

[@IntronDepot1]

I think I'm in love with that girl.

[@zigglzaggl1800]

What's your last name....?

[@enonereh3964]

If you want to know rather or not they encourage people to be different, Please go to their channel called #wrongplanet or to their channel called #wrongplanet-alt (in freenode) You may be surprised. Hang out for maybe a couple of weeks and then come back here and make a comment as to what it is you think. They talk a good talk here though.

[@kiddokta]

I'm NT, but Alex is a cutie!

[@Tariffs]

tfw no gf

[@ilovethatkatielovesclassic8771]

hahaahahaha i saw a picture from this vid on an imageboard and i could already feel the 'tism

[@stephenphillps3250]

not to random here, but you guys and girl might be indigo children. From a spiritual perspective.

[@MarianoBulaBlackOrpheus]

besides, just like lady gaga said, we are all born this, by the way, do you believe in god?

[@b3nzyme]

please everybody (not only including people in this video, which is great by the way) stop saying ass burgers and start saying asperger's. People online everywhere say that.

[@aspiegod771]

I have Aspergers

[@tonbonthemon]

@jls0037cslewis1 lol god

[@emod179]

Her smile reminds me of Pete Davidson lol. Still cute tho

[@dominicnunes2709]

lol so much chan

[@ConradConch]

Hot?

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

You dont have to have autistm/aspergers to be "different". Nothing special about it.

[@DoWhatsRight1212]

Hipsters.

[@phantommagnolia]

Watch closely the guy in the middle.

[@GuitareStew]

The existance of a God is statistically unlikely. The concept of God is completely contradictory. How can you believe in something that's not only very unlike but also contradicts itself? I guess that's what you guys call faith, I call it stupidity. If there is a God why would he have our most reliable and historically significant trait (Logic) disregard his existance? Do you really want to be special so badly that you are willing to believe in fairy tales? It's ridiculous and I laugh at you

[@mauc3102]

Big Fat Jesus Christ *tips fedora Hello old comment guy, I agree with you

[@rabbimiscegenationstein1481]

The same guy to call you an incel.

[@realstarfarts]

Don't lament not having a qt 3.14, this particular qt 3.14 is now an SJW.

[@DDChorror]

starfarts Yeah, most cute girls are

[@s0lid_sno0ks]

FUCK
