A little trip down memory lane for you then Thank you for watching

Yes I figured she wasn’t actually telling me about Pamela lol it did make me double take though and made me laugh

@ I imaging 🤭😀, but yes she try to say that , by the way i enjoy your videos 👍

Yeah I definitely don’t overthink it It make me laugh You talk to anyone you will never find a bad driver everyone thinks they are a great driver Then you see the things some do I just think hmm good driver hey

@@Thebusdriverphotographer The main thing is to keep calm, and not let it affect ones own driving. Keep up the good work, and the videos. Found it interesting when you showed some of the devices in the cab, by the way. Can you give us a full cab walk/talk through sometime? Subject to company rules of course. Can understand why the company and indeed drivers might not want everything in the cab explained to joe public for safety and security reasons.

I’m glad to hear you’ve not had a meltdown for a while Looking back to my younger years I could be extremely aggressive thankfully I’ve got that aggression under control now Looking back it all makes sense now Now meltdowns take other forms

@@Thebusdriverphotographer Cheers👍 I'm glad you can control them more now and yeah, they take many forms

Thank you Yes the first few in the morning goes via Brighton station not sure what time the last one is think about 7 am

Thanks mate was nice to have a chat

No I hadn’t heard about Fred falling asleep lol It’s always your coming off trip lol

How is everything down there anyway? It's been just over 5 years since I left.

@ pretty much the same as ever mate where are you now

@Thebusdriverphotographer I'm up in Rugby with Stagecoach Midlands. It's pretty nice, imagine every supervisor being like Royston was. We've got some nice out of town runs as well.

@ that’s good mate

Yeah 5B

Same as me I’ve been waiting since 2018 for my formal assignment However you can research and put into place strategies that will help you You can say your autistic if it helps you and others to understand you There are many self diagnosed To me it’s clear from the research I’ve done and what the docs said

Thanks I’m good I only work mornings now

Thank you I really appreciate it

Thank you I agree most people feel pressures and have there escape modes It came to my attention that some of my viewers have special needs many of those may well have autism So I decided to create a playlist of videos sharing my own experiences In the hope to raise awareness to Neurotypical of some of the invisible struggles neurodivergent people face on a daily basis And also to show that just because you’re neurodivergent doesn’t mean you can’t have a life but that you just need to find ways around those struggles Also to let people who know me know why I am the way I am My hope is that making these videos we can make life better for everyone It was quite a big decision to make these videos and open up publicly

Thank you

Thank you

Depends on your rota The 5 day I think 1 Saturday and maybe 2 Sundays off a month with 1 4 day weekend off a month (I could be wrong on this) been a while since I’ve been on the main 5 day Shifts range from 0430 in the morning to finishing at around 0100 am 4 day rota I think is the same as 5 day except you get an extra day off with a 6 day long weekend a month

@Thebusdriverphotographer is the 4 day rota hard to get on? Are new drivers put at the bottom of the barrel?..

@@elliot7205 I think it’s easier now a days Drivers who have been there less than a year have already got on it It all comes down to if there’s a space or not At the time you ask to go on the list Obviously there is a list for all the different rotas so as a new driver you’ll join the back of any list Once your at your garage and get a taste of the job and the hours and what each rota is You’ll then be able to decide which rotas best suits you and join the lists for those rotas

@@Thebusdriverphotographer when doing the middle shift what is the earliest you can be done for? can you be home for tea time?

@ the shifts start and finish at all times of day If you’ve an early middle ie say starting between 7 and 9 yeas you could be home But if starting 10 11 12 then maybe not

Thank you I really appreciate that and I’m glad your enjoying my content

@@philm4682 yes truck and coaches are on the same driving restrictions Obviously uk domestic rules is 10 hours driving truck and coach is 9 hours driving per day but both can be spread over 16 hours I think it is which I believe is more common with HGV However the main difference is we are carrying people with no seat belts and could also be standing where as HGV the cargo is somewhat less valuable This in itself adds a certain amount of pressure

Thank you

Haha I recorded this this morning so defo no champagne lol Plus got work tomorrow morning And I gave up drinking alcohol after finding out it literally kills the brain My brains messed up enough without me killing neurons lol

Thank you for sharing Yes routines are complicated But the thing with routine is they are created So if the is a consistent change to a particular routine although difficult to handle at the start that change becomes the new routine if that makes sense

@@Thebusdriverphotographer 👍Exactly, consistent chaos becomes a new routine

Must of been overtime I’m mainly on the 5Bs now

Thanks mate

I’m glad you’ve found your faith I have my own beliefs which are actually based on science and neuroscience I’m not going to go into that in the comments section

@@Thebusdriverphotographer Well I believe God was the first scientist and if you look and study the work done by the early science leaders they all believed in God whilst trying to disprove him most of them came to the conclusion that He must be real based on the universe and space and the earth itself it's worth a study honestly

@@Thebusdriverphotographer Here are some famous atheists who came to believe in God: Lee Strobel A journalist who initially set out to disprove his wife's faith in Jesus, but ended up becoming a Christian. He wrote about his journey in his book The Case for Christ. C. S. Lewis An Oxford and Cambridge medieval literature professor who moved from agnosticism to faith after conversations with J. R. R. Tolkien. Francis Collins An atheist scientist who converted to Christianity and wrote about his conversion in his book, The Language of God.

They may well of been focusing on Manchester But the knock on affects now we know affects the rest of the country

Thank you

So there is science proving a neurodivergent brain literally works differently to a neurotypical brain in fact there’s a lot of research on this Although the terms are quite broad I use neurodivergent instead of ASD simply because I prefer it You are correct everyone wears a mask for different situations to hide internal pain and so on The difference is an ASD mask is put on simply to fit in To suppress there own natural tendencies Not just to hide the pain of the past Thank you for your opinion And for watching It’s good to get different points of view it helps people make up there own minds

@@Thebusdriverphotographer Sadly there is nothing in science showing what you claim. There are all sorts of sensationalist claims, based on spurious correlations made in the media in order to generate clicks to sell consumers to advertisers. Sadly no one reads the retraction's and challenges, they don't sell. Consider this, when anyone goes to a psychiatrist absolutely nothing is discovered in the brain or the body objectively leading to an accurate diagnosis, what is known in the rest of medicine as aetiology or proximal cause. Its a purely subjective process this is why the DSM lacks all scientific validity and reliability. Its like going to the doctors and getting a diagnosis of say diabetes without any blood tests to determine blood sugar/glucose levels - why is this important because many different diseases, disorders of body and brain have similar symptoms profiles to concrete objective measurable data must be gathered for an accurate diagnosis. Now of course, we as human beings are all completely different and we all struggle and work places, schools etc are often toxic for us and so we suffer - for me these ought to be referred to as cultural disorders not personal disorders and we ought to be making the world a better place not forcing square pegs into round holes and slapping people unscientific DSM labels and most often leads to harmful prescribed drugs.

Ignorant much?

Thank you I’m not sure I rock them lol They can make social situations easier Ok I’m not sure how that would work but gotta be worth a go

Well there are somethings I’d change if I could but I agree people are changing

Yes mushy and sticky hands yeah hard to handle I’m glad you enjoyed it and got something from it Thank you for watching

@@Thebusdriverphotographer 👍 Thanks again for sharing

But what you say about structure is also of interest. It might not be the lateness that causes anxiety, its the threat to your structure that lateness causes that is the issue. ASD is very structure heavy indeed

This is very true And all neurodivergent people are different as with every neurotypical people are OCD I’m not sure I generally don’t suffer from that apart from if I have bank notes in my wallet they have to be in a certain order and the correct way around

You could be very right with this If my routine gets disrupted this has negative affects Especially if it’s a sudden change that can really disrupt me to the point of a rage Which as I’m naturally very calm can catch people and me by surprise I’m well aware of this So it would make sense this would cause a certain amount of anxiety Like I say I’m still learning and finding out about this stuff

Thank you for sharing It take nerve to share stuff like this

Thank you I really appreciate it

I know what you mean I don’t worry about what other drivers think As 98% of the time I hand over on time so if I am late it was unavoidable and chances are everything is late Although having said that I suppose my time keeping is driven by anxiety But the number 1 priority is safety No matter how late I get safety always comes first But yeah the feeling of anxiety is very very real

Thank you I get up at 3am every day I’m working In bed by 8pm

Thank you

Yeah it’s much easier with a car The commute adds so much time on the day Makes sense to work from the nearest depot

We don’t have a tacho in the buses we only have duty sheets The only buses with tacho are also used for coaching If we get one of those for bus work we don’t touch the tacho unit

@@Thebusdriverphotographer all the buses in the company I work for has tacho units. If I'm doing domestic work ie Service / school etc I put it to out on unit, if I'm doing express or private hires I use card. Don't know if I'm right to put it to out no one can answer me Lol not even the company 🤣

I don’t know much about tacho As far as I’m aware all work has to be recorded That’s going off a couple of HGV channels I follow But I could be way off on that

Thank you I’m looking at answering and talking about these in future videos so stay tuned

Thank you I had 1 person on who quickly got off after hearing my radio call lol yeah contacts are fine the sunglasses are just normal lenses not prescription any diagnosis shouldn’t affect my license at all it’s something I was born with and been driving buses with no problem for over 20 years the company knows which is why I now have my own line so if there was going to be a problem it would of come about by now

@@Thebusdriverphotographer that's good of your boss to help you out 👌, I had laser on my eyes must be 25 year's now, expensive but looking back 👀😂, best thing i ever done 60 next year, reading glass now 🤷, good news about the medical 👍stay safe Drive 👍

Yes we’ve got some coming to Conway at some point Coming from London I believe Going to be rebranded first

Thank you yes I totally agree about the street deckers I think most would agree lol and thank you for your opinion on me doing videos on ASD been thinking about it for some time and now I’ve been put on my own line I’m being asked all sorts of questions and if my experience can help and support others then I’m happy to make the videos

@@Thebusdriverphotographer Yeah good for you, I'd enjoy that

Thank you for your kind words I appreciate it Neuroscience and hypnosis along with psychology are all interests of mine I have been studying for a couple of years now along with human behaviour and various forms of therapy So I felt comfortable explaining what the 6th sense actually is Thank you for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it

Oh really strange lol
