This. Exactly this. Even though I'm not officially diagnosed as autistic a medical professional has decided that I show traits of autism but I don't show any deficits related to ADHD so they asked why I even wanted that considered. But my brain feels so... frazzled all of the time, so busy, so buzzy...?

I think I heard you mention difficulty with driving. I don't/can't drive and I am made to feel like such an oddity for it.

A diagnosis isn't really accessible for me due to the required involvement of parents, so I assume that I will always be self diagnosed. I feel like I could benefit so much from slowing down too, slowing down a great deal. I hope the upcoming winter will allow for this.

I relate to much of what you have to say. I've always felt that if I became pregnant I would no longer want to live. Sending a hug.

Feeling a dangerous side of ENFJ is a REAL THING I dkn why, but yeah

As an INFJ male I love INFP females. We're different enough but we can see each other's emotional field and take care of it. I also dated an INTJ. It was a disaster.

Thanks for the list. I am familiar with quite a few of the. I will look at a free more. Yes Love Dana Andserson. She just has to say Hi Aaam Dana! in her accent to give me a lift,.

I thought of three other channels since watching your video: Zara Beth, the Hidden 20% (a podcast featuring neurodivergent people) and Woodshed Theory 😊

I stopped watching Meg’s content (from the “I’m Autistic Now What?” channel) awhile back. She generally provides good information, but I got really sick of her constantly promoting Kaelynn Partlow’s content (Partlow is an ABA practitioner and all-around compliant token). Also stopped watching Mom on the Spectrum when she started fangirling out over sitting on a panel with Temple Grandin (who has a laundry list of toxic beliefs, including being pro-ABA, pro-eugenics and anti-vax).

Hey Ingrid, your new cut is lovely and perfect on you. I'm a child of a hairdresser so I have opinions on these matters. ☺ Thank you for sharing these folks and their channels with us. I'm only familiar with a couple of them. If you're not already familiar I recommend a channel called Autism's Individual. Her name is Anna and she does a lot of book reviews among other things, though I recommend starting with her earliest videos. All the best as ever. -Carm

if you don't have enough to watch already, there's also Rick has ADHD who's quite funny, and I'm not subbed but I've seen Paige Layle (hope I spelled right!) a few times, she's seems nice and funny too! Also +1 for the new hair ;)

I agree discord is way overwhelming. I’ve watched a few videos on how to use it, but I still don’t get it. Thanks for responding to my comment a few videos ago. Your hair looks great. I’m a male so I can get away with buzzing my own hair. Because I can’t stand setting up appointments. Before I begin buzzing it short, I would just grow it out longer. But in school I was picked on a few times, kids asking “ are you a boy or girl” not actually asking but trying to make fun. Until I started confronting them. They left me alone after they realized I wasn’t going to entertain them and their “jokes”. I hope you’re doing ok. I watched your last video. I’m really bad at knowing what to say to people. Obviously nothing I can say will fix your problems. But I want to offer help. But you weren’t really asking for help. Just stating your worry’s / difficulties. What should someone say to that. I see you and hear you? I’m afraid all say the wrong things and make it worse. And it’s actually really hard without knowing exactly what you’re going through. I will probably end up just projecting my own thoughts onto you. I could ask a bunch of questions to better understand, but that could also be triggering to some people. Hope your week is going better. ❤️

Hi Ingrid, Again didn't have the time to watch your video 😅 sorry Honestly I hope you don't mind me saying but the haircut is awesome and you look great. I checked the description box and believe it or not I already know many of the channels you recommend 😊 is it just z a coincidence? Who knows:) Will try to watch when I have time. Take care friend

Thanks for the info, I have seen several of these channels before and I will definitely check out the others

Thank you for sharing these channels 😄. Did you get diagnosed privately or through public healthcare? I recently did a screening which indicated autism for me. However, the psychologist thought I functioned too well to send me to an assessment because I have a job, an education, friends and a partner. I looked into private assessment but they all seem quite expensive and I'm not sure it is worth it for me to spend 30k kr for it

No, you look great with that cut! I've caught some of the PDA sites but am always looking for more since my youngest daughter experiences this bigtime.

hey, your haircut looks great! :D

You look so much better and refreshed.. hair cut is a good way to start a new path of self acceptance; symbolic of changing pursed

Thank you so much for recommending my channel and so many others ❤ your kind words really touched me 🥰 many of these channels I already know about and I’ll check out the others 😉

Being slow doesn't have to be bad. I really liked a UA-cam Video "AUTISM - Why we need simple instructions..." by Pooky Knightsmith Mental Health, it's very poetic. Hope it helps. It's kind of about being slow. Oh, I work in IT-Support and I'm sometimes very fast about solving issues, but it has nothing to do with fast memory, I just can see, when something doesn't match. So I'm faster in that, but slower in processing new information. I'm really lucky to work for one company, because there is a limited variety of devices and software, it's easier to catalogue and recall information fast and see when some of the devices don't behave as intended. It's very interesting to see how depending on a neurotype pepole have certaind advantages or disadvantages.

If it is only in adulthood that you were diagnosed with autism it is highly unlikely that you've been diagnosed properly. Now that it has become trendy to be disabled, neurodivergent, etc, every mildly quirky woman with social anxiety is purporting to be autistic. Doctors will simply tell you whatever you would like to hear and will gladly help themselves to your money. In fact they will probably confirm your self-diagnosis simply so you will leave and they can move on with their work. If you need an autism diagnosis to cope with the fact that your life has turned out the way it has more power to you but the people who shirk any responsibility they have to society so they can live on the dole are scum and ought to have their benefits cut off. This sort of mopey behavior seems symptomatic of a generation that has no clue what real problems are, so they must invent fake problems with their neurotic minds. Its all rather pathetic.

Hi Radish ...I'm preparing some Quiche Lorraine as I listen to some soft music

Hi Ingrid, Sorry again but I didn't have the time to watch this video but from the the title abd description box I guess I got an idea of what it is about. I will recomment later but I want to say that I'm sorry that you had a bad week. I hope you will be fine. Take care of yourself and remember that you have all my support. Sending hugs.

poor short term memory: Yes; poor short term memory, great long-term memory. Is typical of mild autism. (Don't worry, the short-term memory isn't a problem, there are solutions.)

I wish I could give you hugs over the interwebs 😢 Take care of your mental elf.

Apologies if you only wanted to vent without soliciting advice, but I have some ideas to consider. 1) Hire a maid service every other week to take your mind off of household chores. 2) Try a personal trainer at a gym to reconnect with your body. Sweat in a sauna 3) Analyze your diet and nutrition professionally and try making some changes. The wrong foods for your body can drastically affect your mood. 4) Make sure you get 30 minutes of quality sunlight contact on your skin daily. Sometimes it's useful to talk things through, but sometimes it's not possible and you have to work through things physically rather than socially or mentally. A lot of the resources regarding support for autism you mentioned sounds more or less unhelpful, and that's okay. I think it's important to trust your instincts on that. What you said about reconnecting with your community outside of your professional network sounds like you're on the right track.

Sorry to hear your having a hard week at work on top of getting the diagnosis, not that a diagnosis is a bad thing obviously but it's a lot to take on board in a short time. I hope things calm down with work and that with enough rest and accomadations you start to find things more manageable. Also you should not feel bad about complaining, I know that's easier said than done though. I had a friend recently apologise to me for complaining about something that she then thought I had worse and I told her the same thing I'll say to you "Don't apologise for complaining because your complaining doesn't take anything away from my situation and never will, and if someone says it does then they are only thinking of themselves". Even though she felt like my situation was worse, I never once felt like that while she was telling me her problems. If anything I was concerned for her and it made me feel sad that she is going through that. Ultimately, if someone doesn't like you complaining they can always just not listen and leave. Well unless you have them tied to a chair and force them to listen, in which case you would probably have bigger problems than them not being happy about you complaining 🤏🤣

Hi, i mention su*cidal ideation at the beginning (go to 02:00 if you wish to skip) I am not taking any advice on finding God or Jesus and that is frankly unacceptable to go and proselytize to vulnerable people. Great that God made you feel like life was worth it, but i have found other ways. Please respect that.

I really appreciate your honesty in explaining your feelings and your thought process relating to this topic. This is very helpful to me and others dealing autism and trying to figure out what we should and shouldn’t do o what we can and cannot do. Thank you so much for making these videos.

MY guess patients tried to manipulate u and u stood up to it when most doctors wouldn’t Sorry my friend Standing up for what is right is not easy ; please don’t give up we need hood people like u

U have entered the “this is my new reality” phase which is difficult. I remember it well with my ahd when the moment came i realized that I was limited without my meds. This is totally normal and it will pass in time; I promise. But it will require u to accept this new truth about yourself and accept it is part of u. I know easier said than done but I know u are strong. U look exhausted; not slept much I bet- mind racing. Been there

If that makes you feel any better, a lot of us autistic people experience suicidal thoughts on a regular basis; it’s been a part of my life since I was a teenager, so you’re definitely not alone in this and I know how much it sucks. Also I’m sorry you’re struggling at work. We’ve been conditioned to think that ‘visible’ or physical pain is worse than ‘invisible’ or mental pain, but please don’t minimise your struggle by thinking what you’re going through is less serious than someone who has diabetes, for example. Like you said, it’s not a competition! Sending you positive energy ❤

I got diagnosed with autism level 1 two weeks ago. I think I have been burnt out for 2 years :( I just feel so tired and want to sleep all the time. I’m pretty sure I have depression as well, so it’s been a mixture and it’s really confusing. But sometimes I just feel like sleeping the day away and I really can’t get myself to do anything. Maybe with this diagnosis I can seek out treatment for the burnout. I’m in school and it is so hard. I really want to finish my masters but it’s so hard!! I felt relief also. I’ve also researched so much and watched thousands of hours of videos lol

Hun dear lawdy you had me me worried sick you said "post diagnosis", "time left", I thought it was brain cancer or something. Ok, well I am confident you will find your way very well in life. You seem to have a very authentic and honest persona

✝️❤️🌈

Welcome to the coolest club ever! We appreciate each other from an understandingly respectful distance mostly 😊 Very quietly and antisocially usually, but there's a solidarity we have. "Normal life" is such an intriguing turn of phrase 🤔😋

Stop eating bread. Schizophrenia and Autism used to be known as bread madness.
