Validation. The menopause absolutely broke me, my cognitive functioning broke! I couldn't put a sentence together, short term memory and working memory was non existent, psoriasis broke out on my head and face, random rashes and allergies, emotional rollercoaster, migraines, visual problems, nerve pains, Burnout, 8 years of chaos and hell. My daughters youngest years saw me at my worst. Im on HRT now and the change is amazing, I'm not back to who I was but I don't expect to be, I also have autoimmune disease. Doctors need to listen, its a wonder that medicine has gotten to where it is!!!!

👏👏👏

So - yeah - don't be so confusing!

A yearly health check would be amazing for me, I used to be on the learning disability check register and they’d catch stuff that I didn’t realise because I struggle with that but now I moved I don’t get that.

I find it very hard to make phonecalls to people I don't know. It takes me months to finally be able to call a repair person for example.

My nephew is exactly like this. Too much overload can cause him a huge meltdown. I wish there was a way for him to not be overburdened by all the senses around him.

So thankful for this video, but REALLY concerned about two things: minute 39 a man describes what "causes" ADHD. He lists "genes" first...( Huge problem with this being listed at all, but ESPECIALLY listing it first) He then says, It can be caused by "environment" With RIDICULOUS pictures (a building which may or may not be understood as a factory [presumably seeping ADHD-causing chemicals into the environment??], a cigarette, an image of food.... But we are not even getting close to anything that's very very key here... The environment is as number #1 factor -the cause of developmental damage (trauma)...but main aspects of "environmental factors" are,, for Pete's sake, chronic exposure to EFFING ABUSE by a narcissist/sadist/boarderline/dark personality Father (or mother). You MUST discuss environment first. You MUST include an image of 'Family' and images of a child with symbolic visual representations of childhood trauma, like an 'X' on the child's mouth (no ability to express needs, or protest, etc) with the older person (the effing narcissist or sadist or pschopathic PARENT!!!) yelling at the child,, Crossing arms intimidating the child, the parent turning back on the child, ( silent treatment is BRUTAL!! Dehumanizing, And activates the same area of the brain responsible for physical pain producing the equivalent PHYSICAL PAIN of a sucker-punch to the stomach in victims (Williams, 2011). So a parent turning his back on a pleading child, shamed, An image of an older person hitting the child, sexually abusing the child (represented by a bed??) And we must write gaslighting "it's just a joke!" "Dont be so sensitive!" subjecting the child to (deviant, repeated, INCULCATING) verbal abuse in form of sarcasm, "just jokes", verbal abuse... Gaslighting MUST be symbolized. The child's PERCEPTION denied/warped, dehumanizing SILENT TREATMENT MUST BE Illustrated/listed. THAT is the cause of DEVELOPMENTAL DAMAGE --TRAUMA!!. COMPLEX trauma. Research needs to look into what percentage of autistic and a d h d kids have a parent who has NPD, or what % of ADHD and autstic children have a pathological narcissist, sadist, or psychopath for a parent. THIS must be researched. AND, At a minimum, it must be integrated into any presentation about what causes AD.H.D or autism.. This is often child developmental TRAUMA caused by a effing abnormal parent!!!!!

imagine a world so broken that "honesty" need be a labeled trait of a different type of human being

Really appreciate this video, and very much appreciate the shared experiences in the comments section!!!

Thanks, now I understand how my friends feel like🎉

I subscribed due to how good this is

Thank you for this well made video!!

Great, well done to all involved! I’m especially pleased that employment was mentioned, and the sum is to double that, but it’s a shame the actual current percentage of autistic adults actually in employment wasn’t mentioned, as it’s horrendously shocking in the UK. But you can’t possibly include everything, so this video was a great summary, and I believe the 2030 vision is achievable, and by liking and sharing this, we can all help to play our part in this, which involves making autistic voices loud and visible! From child and adult peers, to small and large company employers, to the developers of schools, playgrounds and work spaces, to the local MP’s who can make changes in their local areas, right to the acting government, who have the power to make and enforce changes. It’s not much to ask that autistic people are treated with the same amount of kindness and dignity that everybody expects , and to be given the same opportunities as everybody else, and the help and support that may be needed in order for this to happen.

This is so well done!! Well put together, I applaud the team behind this, the actors and actresses, the whole team! What a great initiative.

People should realize that a more inclusive world will benefit everyone. Just look at ramps for wheelchairs for exampld - suddenly if you have heavy luggage, a pram or are on crutches, you, also, have an easier time getting around, not to mention we all get old... So it goes with making public spaces more accessible in other ways as well. Great work you're doing

commenting for the algorithm so more people see this

I love this video, it doesn’t infantilize autism at all. It not only acknowledges autistic people being a part of the world, but it also shows that they are PEOPLE, grown adults who are after the same things in society as everyone else.

Excellent!

🙌🙌🙌

Love this! Believe in change!! ❤

A shame I missed this in real time, but it's so good to see that *finally* some research is being undertaken regarding peri/menopausal autistic people. It absolutely led to me seeking my own diagnosis earlier this year as it's been so overwhelming, and I seem to have had way more symptoms (and more severity of symptoms) than other people I know. HRT has been useful but, maaaan, it's been hard! 😩

Symptons usually last for years after the menopause,they don't disappear as soon as she said.Expect pure hell.

You do not represent me.

Devy treasure

I came here after looking at resouces for ladies with autism and in perimenopause. I am late diagnosed with autism, adhd recently and dyslexia and dyspraxia in my 30s. I started aged 42 years and in the last 4 years has been a roller coaster ride with other comorbidity. I am adapting strategies like pacing, managing sensory overwhelm, triggers, miscommunication. I am on hrt but noticed huge changes in increase in sensitivity, emotional changes, fatigue. I am looking to be less hard on myself. I have had trauma support. I would love to help others going forwards. I put myself forward for research in autism and other studies. I am glad this is being talked about.

I cried so much I can't believe my 2 years boy deal with that.

Yes yes and yes. First I am super body adware. So anything that changes makes me nervous and I feel it earlier. Emotions all over the place and it gives me more meltdowns. I also have more sensory issues. Menopauze or premenopauze is hell for me. Tried HRT but it made me lose sleep and I need that so hard. No without HRT but struggeling so hard to just relax.

Have you seen the article in the BJPsych Bulletin? "Severe mental illness and the perimenopause" by Sophie Behrman and Clair Crockett? "Oestradiol has a role in the modulation of serotonin, and serotonergic pathways are thought to be involved in the neurobiological basis of depression. When oestradiol levels fluctuate during the perimenopause and menopause, destabilising effects on mood can therefore occur."

I think its me when it comes to someone shouting and insulting at me even family not at all and its makes me neglective is it called autism right? And i wasnt diagnosed since i was a kid and im trying to be cool and normal person it didnt work because of my anxiety attacks and so many fail and masturbate until thinking a suicide when i have feeling neglect and negativeb and im not, because ill keep always pray and pray

Shiver me timbers

I feel sad : ( I have PTSD, autism, and Schizoaffective as a mixed black boy this is lonely

❤️

My current employer said that autism is not a valid reason to be exempt from business model/business needs. I asked for my hours not to be changed and they said I had to change them. I moved my hours and they ended up not being the best for my mental health. I got a letter from my doctor saying could i start at 8am instead of 7am? It was refused. They have now forced me to drop a shift for 12 weeks paid. after the 12 weeks if i accept the reduced hours i will lose money. the company I work for have shown their true colours and i have been with them for 9 years!

Да что они могут предложить?Попытки исковеркать мир нормальных людей под себя? Ну уж нет,вы,ребята,лучше изолируйтесь в отдельных резервациях,и не мешайте ПОЛНОЦЕННЫМ людям жить!)

haha autistic people is funny

Haven't had an autism diagnosis, but perimenopause has been so unbelievably debilitating that the signs are all there - emotional dysregulation, heightened sensitivity issues, the meltdowns. The last time I spoke to a GP about the fact that I needed something to help my hormones because I was suicidal each month, he laughed at me. It's hard to ask for help.

The UK is way ahead of North America.

I had to watch this video all to find information about I’m autistic curious I get everyday and seeing that video I do attend to stroke peoples dogs to communicate so I can show I’m not rude to people so here it is why I let people on the bus first before I get on to hide my feelings and problems aside even thou I have autism and to see that video that just proves it all for me. The truth I do get anxious to go outside and to see other people and have trouble of learning lost many jobs cause managers misunderstand me when don’t understand the instructions they give me. In the meantime I’m still unemployed and do occasionally volunteer and pay visits to the job center not fun at all.

My sensory issues are not as bad as what’s common for autistic people, and I’m really grateful for it. I just struggle with eye contact, certain clothes and being addicted to certain textures.

Video quality is good Bellow we found your channel issues : 1. Video not SEO Friendly 2. Video Views Low 3. Video not Tags

I’m on the autism spectrum and it’s cool seeing the world differently ♾️❤️😁

Thank you, this was very interesting and useful

you mention it's distinct from "dependence", but there's nothing wrong with dependence to begin with. Our society fetishizes independence too much, nobody is really independent and interdependence has always been the way all humans live, not independence.

We & us? Speak for yourself. This is not how I experience autism. At all.

I am 66 years old. I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life. I used to drive my mother mad because of hyperactivity, but in the presence of strangers, I used to become still. None of us were socialised because both parents worked, and I hardly saw my mother until the age of 6 when she got pregnant for the third and last time. Then she stopped working so my little sister didn't suffer the absence like my sister and I. I wanted to break out of isolation, so I thought I was learning to sicialise. But I used to go off line from time to time, especially if a pattern changed. I was generally a good student except during these strange off line periods when I became unable to learn anything and suddenly my grades would dive for apparently no reason at all. That made me feel scared. I also had periods getting oversensitive when I would suddenly develop sensitive skin or sense of smell. Then I was sent to boarding school where after a period of quick adjustment I became restless and finally escaped. My family never understood me and always thought that I was lying or pretending. That strange suspicious by my mother was picked up by my sister whom I really loved. Even though I did everything for her, she would never trust me. It has been a strange and confusing life. I started suffering from bouts of depression in my late teens until I had a severe breakdown after a surgery went wrong and I developed a bad infection that made me so weak that I used to break into sweat just standing up to open the door. It was a long time before I was diagnosed with borderline Asperger's and ADHD but even then my family didn't believe it because it had become a harmless habbit not trusting me for them while I kept asking for understanding. Before that I was given ECT because I had developed a resistant depression that again went wrong when I developed post anesthetic palpitation and the nurse forced me to have a very large dose of venleefaxine. When I called for a doctor no one came. So, I crawled out of the room and saw that the ward was empty and even the lights had been turned off. I couldn't move. So I collapsed in the corridor hoping someone would pass by. I tried to control my breathing and I don't know if that helped but after what seemed ages the palpitation stopped. I left the hospital. I was worried that it might return. So, I went to my mother's house. The next day I went to hospital and reported it. They took an ECG, and after examination, I was asked to leave the hospital. I went home and tried to call my doctor in hospital but was told that no such person worked there. So, I went to my GP, who told me that I had a heart murmur. At the time I didn't understand the significance and my GP said that I might need aortic valve replaced at some stage when I got old. I didn't realise that by older he meant within four years time when it got so bad that I had to have an open heart surgery. But that wasn't even half of it. In the end I paid to have a VNS implant when it first came out but it didn't help until I stopped taking Olanzapine that was prescribed for me that turned me into a zombie. My wife left me and I didn't seem to be able to stay with anyone and in the end I gave up. It was only then that I started reading everything that I managed to put all the strange events together and make sense of it but on the way I lost everything and everyone. My daughter is not interested, neither are my siblings. I have a dog that I am waiting for to die before I join him since he has been the only thing that I felt love from. 1:36

Thank you all!

In the general context of the debate about neurodiversity and depression, especially as someone who is considering suicide/euthanasia this is an important video. I've added this to my autism playlist. Thank you.

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

The music in this makes me anxious lol
