Understanding AUTISM and ASPERGERS SYNDROME

I did a talk at an Autism conference, about understanding Autism, and I believe this is going to be the next step after Autism awareness. Like, comment and SUBSCRIBE to keep up to date with my videos. Uploads weekly!

A big welcome into my life! I am a Dan from the UK and I have #Aspergers Syndrome or #ASD which is a form of Autism, often referred to as High Functioning Autism or #Autism Spectrum Disorder. I make videos every week on my journey and offer tips and tricks to help everyone who has Autism.
I also have help videos for helping people get a diagnosis of Autism or Aspergers Syndrome, and also some advise and help for anyone who is friends, partners or loved ones who suffer from Autism or Aspergers Syndrome and just about anyone on the Autism Spectrum.

I pray my son becomes a brilliant young man like you

[@smileeveryday421]

There are a lot of titles. What we need is more resources, & educated teachers. Because every year more kids & adults are being diagnosed. If i do not step-up and advacate for my son, he would be forgotten or pushed aside. I had to get a social worker to help, because as a single mom i feel a lone. Plus i am sure i have similar issues, its just that i am not diagnosed. ThnkU😘

[@petermiddelkoop110]

I have a special yellow card on my I.D. because of my Autism. It says I can go to health and wellness if I request it. That's another step in the right direction.

[@TheAspieWorld]

Yeah totally!

[@joannawoods6023]

Yay spotted myself in the crowd at the conference, it was our first conference and dr Luke was fab and made allot of sense to us however I really wish we’d picked a different workshop as the adhd workshop was very negative thanks so much for answering all our questions after your talk

[@AM-nj2it]

Christmas is my favourite holiday. Not for religious reasons, but because I 💜 decorating and wrapping presents!

[@elizabethhannah6836]

I found myself nodding my head in agreement when you mentioned that most people are aware of autism, and now it's time to begin Action to make places more inclusive. I believe that it's not just time for action, but also common understanding and acceptance of people on the spectrum as individuals that are to be respected and treated with kindness, and again understanding. Just as we teach our children that it's not right to ridicule those with obvious disabilities, it's time to include people who seem odd or different from them as well. I don't see people laughing or making fun of people with obvious disabilities... I think I'm dreaming again.

[@RedMageDarni]

Thank you for the video. I agree with what you are saying, increasing understanding seems like a great next step. I wanted to note for your comment regarding wheelchair users and accessibility. While you are right about the improvement in providing accessible entrances and facilities, this is still not completely achieved as it is to an extent based on a quite standard wheelchair design, while some people can have specifically designed wheelchairs for their needs that can be wider/longer and so can make it difficult to access some places. This can then be more complicated regarding accessing specific services/facilities in places where some equipment may be required but not available (ex. hoists). So I guess the lesson from this is that there is still a lot of understand and development that is needed for lots of people including people with autism. Overall, what you are doing is great for providing some understanding. Thank you for the hard work!

[@alancharlesstephens7036]

Speaking of job interviews, I went through school in the special needs classes, and never fully understood the reason why? Anyway when leaving school to enter the world of work, I struggled in regard to what I call ongoing work, I had to rely on recruitment agencies, which were very hit and miss. When applying through main job applying sources, I got constantly overlooked. I only ever had what I would call one regular ongoing job, but that was through a friend, after that job I thought I would get a major breakthrough, only for me to be back to where I started off. Eventually I ended up going through, slow of learning work group Remploy, where I have with the last 7 years. I was against Remploy for many years, where I felt stigmatised. It was my friend who I was in the special needs class that, had me have a change of heart

[@LaunceBugbee]

Yes! I'd most definitely see you on a speaking tour... I'm near Spokane, WA.

[@TheAspieWorld]

Oh awesome!!! I will be sorting one out.

[@kitcarconversions]

Hi dan I'm 52 years old all my life I've known I was different I'm going through the process of getting a diagnosis I watch your videos to try and get a understanding thank you gary..😊

[@TheAspieWorld]

Hey!!! That is awesome! Thank you for supporting my channel!

[@icecoldprincess2009]

I think that you have essentially hit it on the head when you said what you said about autism awareness and autism access... society really does need physical things that they can do to make life easier for people with sensory overload issues. I'd also like to see businesses make more of an effort to reduce sensory overload as we go out to do things like shopping, too. Such a simple task is exhausting with all the sights and sounds that we are subjected to.

[@smileeveryday421]

Yess! For job interviews! Please do!!👍💚

[@welshwoodbushcraft]

Best holiday Halloween, as it's also my birthday!

[@TheAspieWorld]

+Pete Wood Hey dude that is awesome.

[@camilakavanagh1372]

Hey, I am Brazil, I don't have autism, but that is a subject what is really interesting to me since I was a teenager. Your videos are really go.

[@logananrr1894]

Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday. There are so many routines during Christmas. It's the best!

[@statix1]

I find driving for longer than an hour incredibly taxing on my body. Especially if I am driving in the city. Thanks for your video.

[@klown1988]

Would love to see see you do a talk in either Tunbridge Wells or Maidstone in Kent. Hell, I would even take part if you asked me too :)

[@luaevablue]

Do you have a video on autism and PE classes?

[@redrockasrama7215]

Aspie Moon Arts good idea!

[@AUnicorn666]

autism and PE i am interested!!!!!!!! ( I Did not know there was something about autism and PE)

[@emilywebster6623]

ASD and coping with big changes like moving house. Would be really interesting to hear your thought on it. :) Moving house is stressful for everyone so I don't know how the experience of someone with ASD might be different, or even if it would be different, I don't know? Anyway it drives me crazy every time I move flats, not just the stress of moving, but mainly getting used to it after I've moved. Any experiences, tips, or insights/thoughts? Great video today btw. Thanks as always :)

[@jadey1997156]

Hi I have Autism and Im a very creative person. Love the videos and keep up the good work :), and you think people with ASD are rather creative in thier own right?

[@wolfobsidian2270]

I love Halloween! And Christmas cus I love decorations and the colours that are associated with both of those, the black, orange, purple etc for Halloween, then the reds, greens and metallic colours for Christmas! I love certain colours like so much so when it's the season for them to be around everywhere I am so so happy ☺ Would love to see you do talks that would be great, I am from a tiny village near about 40 minutes or so from Cambridge, Milton Keynes and peterbourgh sort of in the middle of those so anywhere around there would be awesome but I would travel to wherever as long as I could afford to cus I love visiting new places and I love travelling, although I find new places scary I also really enjoy them too:) I want to go to wales so bad as my friend used to go on holiday there every year and do the long walks to like pubs and stuff and she said it's beautiful specially the hills and wooded areas so that's where I want to go on holiday to next! ☺

[@wolfobsidian2270]

Oh and yes I say I love travelling, not by myself at all, with someone it's fun, on my own it's horrible if I haven't been to that place before. I love driving I just am scared of roads, going the wrong way, other people, being alone, getting lost etc etc 😓

[@bbyskittles91]

I love what you said about awareness vs understanding. 💕

[@TheAspieWorld]

+bbyskittles91 Thank you!!

[@jackiet1716]

My son with ASD loves making his own costume......so Halloween and Christmas. We have a tradition to actually go out and chop down our Christmas tree. We have a wonderful Autism community here in Surfside Beach, SC in the USA! They would love to have you because they are always doing events surrounding Autism and Autism awareness!

[@jessicasparks7365]

I would love to talk to you more about this. Kinda like a one on one addressing particular things. My son is 6yo and he has been diagnosed with Autism (aspergers) and is ADHD. Well he started school last year and I have had nothing but problems with the school. They (the school) have just classified him as having behavior problems. AHHH there is just so much to it. And don't want to throw it all out on here. If there is a way to go about doing that I'd appreciate it.

[@TheAspieWorld]

Have messaged you back on Facebook!

[@andrewb724]

My favorite holiday is Christmas and thanksgiving! I would love it if you came to New York or Philadelphia!! Either one, I just really want to meet you and hear more about you!!

[@sweetnsour5661]

We have the autism friendly shopping over here in Ireland for nearly a year now. It started in Tesco first, i think it’s in other stores now but not fully sure.

[@TheAspieWorld]

That’s awesome!

[@jennifferrose]

Loved this! Loved the vlogging. I feel like I was there with you!

[@RecklessDisciples]

Yes, do video on theme parks

[@KGeorge420]

please do one on job interviews, I'm the worst at them because I'm not very happy around new people

[@TheAspieWorld]

+K. George Kendall Ok its coming up! I will do a video on that :).

[@azzymj]

Job interviews are the worst. If I'm not 100% confident in my ablilties I can't bluff my way through

[@Green_Roc]

A less stimulating store to shop at where people know I have autism! That is like a dream come true! I can already imagine isles of unscented hygiene products and cleaning supplies! Can we have more like that?! As it is, I pay someone to go shopping for me, because of how overwhelming the whole shopping experience is!

[@smileeveryday421]

Hmm ..Come to Sherbrooke, Quebec Canada!🤗 😍orrr maybe you could create like a world group..with speakers just like you, spread out around the world. Because gosh i know we sure could raise more awarenesses on ASD here, & actually everywhere, right?!😉🤓💙💚

[@KeybladePirate]

Might be worth doing a vid on the relationship between ASD and dyspraxia Dan?

[@TheAspieWorld]

Good idea!

[@scobster]

Summer + halloween = Summerween.

[@isawthesign4421]

My favorite holiday is Halloween and it also happens to be my wedding anniversary!!! I'm so excited!

[@IanCullen]

It would be fun to see you talk. I'm in Manchester. BTW have you done a video on Autism and Cinema? I was talking to a friend the other day about movies. And I deliberately only go to movies that are blockbusters. I.E. the Marvel, DC or a Big Scifi film. And I always go for the afternoon showings. Usually quieter. As for quieter and more thoughtful films. I prefer to watch those at home because I find it hard to focus on them in cinema.

[@rheafonfabre]

My favorite holiday is probably Christmas because of videogames. You should do a talk in the US. I would love to go to that. Darn US people don't know anything about acceptance. It's not in their tiny vocabs

[@emma1roosa]

Come and speak in Finland

[@AM-nj2it]

And yes, a video on theme parks would be super cool!

[@pokelector3577]

10:59 that’s where I watched my auntie play volleyball 2 years ago. That’s crazy man!!!!

[@miriammaldonado7848]

Love you Danny. I would love for you to make a video about ANGRY PARENTS that scream, mocks, call them names, and makes them cry between 20 and 50 minutes every day, here i'm writing about my grandchildren ages 6 & 9 years old, they were diagnosed in the spectrum, they're high functioning. By the way in the State of Texas is ok to spank and discipline your child anyway parents want! Thanks for your help.

[@klutterkicker]

I really like Halloween as well, though since getting out of grade school I've been too self-conscious to dress up for it. Also, we here in the US have a holiday called Thanksgiving that's all about having a big family meal, and I tend to call that one my favorite lately.

[@nobody9026]

Have you done a video about aspie's and some types of cloths? I don't know why but I just like a certain types of clothes and anyothe types just bugs me so much I fell like i want to rip them off

[@wolfobsidian2270]

Wolvesare awsome I am the same 😂 I like anything soft, fluffy, or cotton materials but I don't like anything rough, scratchy, or things that you are restricted in, I used to wear jeans but now I really don't enjoy wearing them as you are restricted and they don't stretch and it's weird I just prefer leggings type stuff now 😂😂

[@cameronfox4401]

I really only wear long sleeve shirts. I HATE short sleeves with a passion.

[@johnstover4584]

I have to wear under shirts for any material that isn't soft and comfortable. If it has a label I hate the feel of it. I always pick at the pictures on the shirt. So I have to buy mostly just plain shirts you buy in bags that are soft.

[@maxinebunny]

Favourite holiday is bonfire night. It's right before my birthday and as a kid we always saved the fireworks for my birthday.

[@parttimeautistic4267]

Hey Dan, would you be interested in making a video about autism and autism self advocacy?

[@TheAspieWorld]

Hey that’s interesting!!! Perhaps!

[@GemmasJourneyGrace]

Hey the first Saturday of every month Tesco and Sainsbury's do a quiet hour for people with autism at 9.30am to 10.30

[@Tdiva-Elly]

Yes on job interviews

[@breekrueger7077]

Halloween is my favourite. As I told you, we are big into Star Wars.

[@TheAspieWorld]

+Bree Krueger Heck yes dude!

[@lukemadden4434]

My favourite holiday is probably Christmas. We also have bonfire night in Ireland and I enjoy it to. 😁

[@Lucidfilth]

I don't really have a favorite holiday. I found them rather sad. Everyone else seem to be having fun. I can't, my best friend lives to far, and I can't be around crowds to long. If I could, I'd spend say new years with a close friend.

[@kayleyvlogs2739]

+K. George Kendall Yeah!

[@livbara6578]

At some cinemas in the UK they have autism friendly screenings where the lights are left on and ads/trailers aren't played, the volume is turned down and you can bring your own food. As far as I know that's once a month. Just wondered your thoughts on this and if you've encountered any issues at the cinema before? Christmas is my favourite holiday and would be awesome if you came to Plymouth :)

[@aragornthebrave]

They are autistic *children* friendly - not so much for autistic adults. Children running round and making noises is not a friendly environment for me. However, there is some movement towards having screenings for autistic adults e.g. in Hebden Bridge.)

[@Winchester7983]

Halloween 👻🎃

[@TheAspieWorld]

+Winchester7983 Nice!

[@noelegan9150]

[@Vendetta3205]

What about HFA/Aspergers and addictions/alcoholism?

[@TheAspieWorld]

+GayAspieAddict Yes! This is a common trait with drugs and alcohol as these things help with social situations and are common with people on the spectrum.

[@Vendetta3205]

Well then can you differentiate between what counts as an addiction and what counts as something which I have an intense interest in?

[@Vendetta3205]

Im aware of all that---I spose I was asking if ud do a video on addictions and ASD, as opposed to reaffirming the obvious.

[@princesseuphemia1007]

I've been wondering about that too but can't find much info on it. I'm trying to cut back on my own drinking since I've been relying on it a bit too heavily for the last few years to get through social situations. Social interaction is so much easier when you're drunk. I used to use it to make myself fall asleep when I had insomnia sometimes until I discovered THC edibles which are a lot safer to use as a sleep aid/nightmare suppressor, however being stoned makes it way harder to be social so if I'm hanging out with friends I'd much rather have a beer thanks. Still I am starting to hate the fact that I can't get through most conversations comfortably or even fall asleep without the aid of some mind altering substance. *sigh*
