Hi! I'm Gil. I've started a personal channel because it's something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and I finally worked up the enthusiasm to do something about it. Hopefully you guys like what I have to offer.
I'm studying engineering in Newcastle, Australia. I also try to write a bit of fiction when I can.

Aspie Life: #globalgoals and the Anti-Vaccine Story
Переглядів 749 років тому
I'd been planning to take a little more time with this video, but decided to push it forward for the Global Goals. As such I had like 20 minutes to record it so I just thought I'd read off the script I wrote as best I could. Fingers crossed! Inspired in part by Hank Green's video at ua-cam.com/video/VT690t6Ahjs/v-deo.html No conversation starter this time, not that kind of video. Instead, go to...
Being Mature

Sorry it's late, I had a lot of homework last week. Bit of a scatterbrained video, but it's better than nothing. Conversation starter: "What qualities do you look for in a friend?" I'm on Tumblr: gilium.tumblr.com/ I'm on Twitter: IAMGILIUM

Me playing/singing Shake-A-Booty by Hank Green because why not? Original song: ua-cam.com/video/pUITMELOEnI/v-deo.html Yeah, I need a microphone, but I would prioritize actually learning how to play guitar. Convo: "If you had lived during the Gold Rush, would you have journeyed west to strike it rich?" Yeah. I swear I'm not making that one up. I'm on Tumblr: gilium.tumblr.com/ I'm on Twitter: t...

The Passing of Rage

So last week I went to see the movie Southpaw. It played on my mind a bit over the weekend, and I thought I might share my musings over it with the internet. And yes, that means this video's a little more serious again. Leave a comment! Conversation starter: "What animal would you leave off the ark?"

Sorry it's a little late, I had a busy weekend and ran into some editing difficulty (my phone and camera recordings have different frame rates). Anyways, here's my vid!

Living by Process of Elimination
Переглядів 529 років тому
Fair warning, this is a video does get pretty heavy. Basically this has been on my mind for a LONG time, and it's an approach that I try to take (not always as well as I should, admittedly). Didn't do an amazing job of getting my point across, but I think the gist of it's there. Basically I believe that the simplest way to deal with a huge number of choices in you life is to rule out the ones t...
Stories from my first day back!

Thought I'd get a quick vlog up to set up my new schedule, since my timetable mixes things around quite a bit and I didn't want to skip a week Conversation starter: 'Have you ever stood up for something you thought was right?' I'm on Tumblr: gilium.tumblr.com/ I'm on Twitter: IAMGILIUM

So I've had a bit of a run of clumsiness in the last week, and I thought I'd see if I could find what some of the causes of it might be. Conversation Starter: 'Why do you think people are mean to each other?' Let me know what you guys think! For the record, Alexander Syndrome is a nervous system disorder, and Dyck (or 'Wright Dyck') Syndrome is a disease causing deafness and dementia. I try to ...
Aspie Life: Metaphors
Переглядів 1589 років тому
So in my first video I said I would talk from time to time about some of my experiences with Asperger's Syndrome. This isn't a rant video or anything aggressive, just talking a little about a misconception that seems to get thrown around a bit. Let me know what you think! Please avoid direct eye contact with the stubble. It can smell fear. I'm on Tumblr: gilium.tumblr.com/ I'm on Twitter: twitt...
Talkback Radio scares me...
Переглядів 569 років тому
In which I desperately hope that the people who call Australian radio stations are not a good indicator of society at large. I'd like to clarify about the whole prison rehab thing: I think rehabilitation of criminals is very important, but this man was imprisoned in the early 2000s, managing to evade the major terrorist charges laid against him, and all in all still seems to show little or no r...

Hi -- I've just been denied a diagnosis, because I understand and use metaphors and non-literal language. I can also use sarcasm, even though I need to translate it when it's used on me. I've just found your video while preparing to request a second opinion from the NHS. Anyway, thanks for the video and all the best! :)
Happy birthday, Gil!
Happy Birthday.c:
yessssss Hank Green cover, I approve and I haven't even watched it yet. Okay, watched it. THAT WAS GREAT. I think you're gonna be even better at guitar soon. Keep playing!
Ugh, every time I see the Subscribe box in your videos, I always click it. But you can't subscribe twice!!!!!
Brown Eyed Girl is the absolute best song to have stuck in your head. A million thanks for getting it stuck in my head! Now I must go listen to it.
Belated Happy Birthday Katie! ^-^
Funny!
Well, this was...interesting. A fresh take on what could be considered an already battered subject. A well rounded interview. Just something I never expected from you, it kinda creped up on me. (I'm so sorry.) This was great. I laughed a lot and definitely needed it today. 10/10
BlackBifocals Doughn't worry about it. :P And glad to hear it. Took a long time to actually get around to filming that skit, so it's thrilling to get such a good review :)
I'm just that hardcore :)
The thing that interests me most about this channel (apart from your general relatability) is how you use math to articulate your thoughts as if it were an extension of the language you speak. I really like your videos and I can't wait to see more!
That little voice comes to me at the worst of times. For instance, yesterday I said "good" instead of "well," and all day today I couldn't focus on anything because the inner voice NEEDS CORRECT GRAMMAR.
I started my first year of Marching Band last week, in a school in which I have no real friends. Considering the fact that I suck at small talk, I probably won't be making friends anytime soon. I think my mother wants to get me one of those books. After hearing what you just read, I think I'd rather just be alone!
Victoria Anne It depends. As someone who sucks at small talk myself, I did ask for this book. I went through a phase of not wanting anything to do with anybody, but eventually I got lonely, so when one of my current friends first asked if I wanted to go sit with them (I sat by myself for a while, almost 2 years) I decided to take him up on the offer, but learning people skills is not as simple as that. This book helped, but what was more helpful was that I decided to work at not taking myself too seriously. I've got a few nice memories of sitting around with a few friends and pulling out this book when things got uncomfortably quiet, but it worked that way for me because I always presented it as a silly little game. Nothing breaks down those boundaries quite the same way as mutual laughter does (for complicated reasons involving hormone releases inside the brain). Still, that's just me, and what I decided to try out. Can't claim to be an expert, I was just frustrated with how things were going so I took a different approach.
Gilium That's the thing, isn't it? Not wanting anything to do with people and yet resenting the loneliness?
Yeah. In the end, I just kind of reached a point where being lonely was more painful than being social (I'm still not an overly social person but I'm working on it in a few ways).
Dude you got to step up your soul calliber game! haha :)
The Stolzes I've been trying. I came close, got up to a 3-2 loss over 5 matches. I'll get there eventually.
oh. oh dear god. That thing with the boot would scare the hell out of me @_@. I'm generally not very comfortable with power tools, I mean the things are basically designed to destroy the human body in the most vicious way possible @_@
Haha this is great Gilium! I can totally relate :)
You're a new youtuber just like me :D We can help each other if you'd like :) and I'll subscribe for you now :p
There are some really great tumblr users with some good info/advice on autism, search the #actuallyautistic tag 😊
Haha, that blooper was great :-)
Motor mouthing is not funny but the example from friends was humorous. Although I never considered crap a swear/curse word. I considered along the words like darn and heck on how those are words used to substitute swear/curse words but were not as rude. Overall I agree with what you said, witty humor and puns are better.
ThePortal64 Correction: puns are only funny when seen from a first-person perspective. I find few things so painful as being on the receiving end of a pun.
I can see that. I still think they are funny most of the time
You've got too much charisma to do these kind of videos. Be more honest with yourself. Look at Veritaserum and VSauce for inspiration. What you are trying to do here is making videos for teens. You can do more than that. Greets
AnotherExperience37 Part of the reason that I'm doing this is that, like I said in the video, it's hard to find resources to help people deal with their own autistic-spectrum conditions. There's a lot of information available to friends/family members, but because it's seen almost as a mental disability (I think) not many people seem to even realise that we can usually help ourselves if we know how. I'm trying to show people that having Asperger's Syndrome doesn't disable me and isn't the only factor in my life that affects things, and yeah I think teens could be most easily convinced of that, but as a teenager it'd be hard to get anybody else to take me seriously for now.
Your blue shirt is amazing. XD I'm dying
XD perfect. I used to play soccer and everyone was a little b*tch too.
Jasmine Martinez It gets hard to be mad at people sometimes for bad-mouthing soccer, the way some guys carry on.
Damn, soccer is more complicated that I thought :D Anyway, great video!
Hahaha that was funny
Weird Unitato Glad to hear it
Was that messaging our GENG group hahaha. Would not surprise me in the slightest haha.
Selina Cox Yes, as it so happens, it was.
"gotta love a book with a bit of sass" this is the best line i have ever heard
That was awesome Gil! Love your editing and your voice, came across very nicely :3 Topics were good as well, I learnt something new :D
