Catching up!💚

Heya Isabella! Replaying your stream!

I enjoy your videos and creativity. The area you film is beautiful! I like to see people's different ideas that are authentic like that. If everyone tries to do what everyone else does just to be the same, then there's no variety. Enjoyable video!

I wish I would have been here for this livestream! You have an awesome set up there Isabella...

Enjoy your day ❤️ where you

Hi Isabella, you're doing great! if all yt channels were done the same, it would be fucking boring, like tv. you're carving out your niche, and the people who love you will stick around. keep it real, keep it YOU <3 and by the way, the music levels seem better and more balanced with your speaking, thanks!

I love the places you've been filming in - it's good to see nature all around you 💚

just keep doing videos the way that feels natural. it feels informal and authentic, just like hanging out. when people try to pressure you to edit and speak in a more neurotypical way it's just them trying to enforce masking for their own comfort.

I really appreciate your way of expressing things. I keep thinking about when I had an active UA-cam channel and I would edit myself so much that the video would be choppy sometimes. I felt like I had to do that because I saw others do it. Your channel is a great example of doing your own thing which I love. Thank you for sharing your ideas and the peaceful nature!

Hi Isabella! I hope your days is going well.

Catching up on the replay 💚

Hallo, from Holland. Not native English spreaking, precies

Thank you for your courage. I liked to listen to your day to day experiences. Maja Toudal is from Sweden. She hosts the podcast Autistic Tidbits & Tangents

Sorry i missed you. I listened to your last Livestream this morning after i received a reply to a previous comment i made. It was a good stream so ill will catch up on this one tomorrow.

another fun stream, thank you!

I can't stand most clothing and materials except for raincoats (PVC and vinyl) because the smooth material feels natural and right against my skin, whereas other materials feel rough and abrasive. It's so hard to explain to people that yes, I NEED to wear my raincoat and no, it's not a security item like Linus's blanket, it's literally a dress to me. Raincoats and rainboots are the only items I truly enjoy wearing. I was made fun of in school for it, I was called "creepy Jamie" because I always wore a raincoat, because I tend to obviously stare at guys I like, and because I walk up to people and start talking about my interests. I'm just thankful that my boyfriend accepts my raincoat-wearing tendencies (and my other aspects that make dating an autistic person hard, like how I'm not very physically affectionate, he doesn't pressure me, which is amazing).

Great to catch your stream.

I can relate. Workplace socializing was so hard for me at my jobs I've had. And these were before I knew I was neurodivergent. I used to think, yes, I can do my job easily... the actual task. It was having to constantly interact with coworkers. I was lucky to have really nice coworkers but it was still hard always having this all day interacting going on. Wore me out everyday. Such beautiful walking area by the way. I enjoy seeing that.

Take your time

The Isabella Experience is always inspiring and nurturing. thank you 💚

i understand how you are feeling as a neurodivergent person , i think your expressing yourself perfectly well done, and i love countryside walks, very peaceful

Beautiful nature area! So peaceful! I enjoy waking trails where I live in forests, by streams. It's the best! Awesome video!

Very peaceful and calming for me as well.

It's always nice to see your nature videos Isabella! 😀

Thank you for sharing your forest walk with us 💚

Great video! I love being in the forest on hikes and whatnot. I live near lakes and there are many tourists, during the summer especially. It’s great when I find a more secluded or less popular spot because I hate running into a lot of people. I find it very relaxing to just feel nature around me and not have pressure to interact with the world in any particular way. And I don’t feel weird if I just stand in one spot for several minutes just to engage with my environment more meaningfully. I’d love to hear more about what you cook if you ever feel like talking about it. I’m always struggling with lack of energy/inspiration for cooking so I’m curious to see what others end up making. I am very indifferent to a lot of foods also so I never know what I want from day to day. The struggle is real!

Wonderful nature walk!

beautiful forest! I am jelly

You live in such a beautiful place ! When you find out how to get more energy, I hope you'll share how you do, it's a real struggle for me too. For me, forests are very good at calming anxiety.

😉 when I struggle with eating food I will eat a lot of fruit instead as it's better than nothing and can be eaten on the move 🍓🍉🥑🍇🍍🍌🍒🍎

I’m not shy at all. I just don’t like a lot of people. Lol 😆

I have been very hard on myself in the past when I have an interest and I get fully immersed. If I fail at it in some way, I beat myself up that I’m not doing it perfectly or as well as I want. Then I might stop doing that thing. I think sometimes I put up my own obstacles by doing that. It’s like I say to myself, “Because of this thing that everyone says I need to do I can’t do this thing the right way. So it’s not worth keeping doing it or starting.” I feel like that may not be your same experience. I’m not sure. I just thought I’d share my own experience with that. It’s interesting about meltdowns and shutdowns. I think I only had them when I was an adult and moved out of my parents’ house. I think maybe that’s because I stopped stimming or having outlet. I’m not sure. Maybe I had them and don’t remember. I feel like as an adult I would start getting overwhelmed more often and not know why. Lately I’ve been rediscovering how to stim and preserve energy which is so difficult. I am interested in Turkey. I was in Greece twice. I guess there can be some animosity with some parts of the culture between the two countries, which is unfortunate. I would like to go to Turkey but I’m not sure when I will travel again. It sounds so beautiful though. Learning a language is very hard for me. I have a hard time speaking English when I can’t think of what to say. I forget words. I think my way into learning language is the grammar. I took online classes in Greek which were very stressful for me sometimes. I can have basic conversations in Greek but I find it difficult to think of what to say or what words to focus on learning. I don’t know. I also don’t stay motivated because my interests have moved on and I don’t have people to talk to in Greek so that I can practice. And making new “friends” to do that is very difficult for me. Maybe it’s more barriers I’m setting for myself :) Anyways, I know this was a bit rambling but I don’t know how to leave shorter comments on videos sometimes :)

Thank you Isabella, for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us! 💜✨️ I enjoy listening to you a lot.. 🌿🧚‍♀️🌱🍃

Hey Isabella! Can't wait to see more of your content.

I have had similar problems about deciding what to talk about and the pace of how I talk. I used to post videos discussing books and what I was reading. I decided to take down all my videos because I was getting too much anxiety over-analyzing what I said. I think it’s because I didn’t feel like I could post consistently and my videos were kind of random. I compared myself with other people a lot and beat myself up. I’ve been thinking about making videos again. I think since I have realized I am neurodivergent it will be easier to know that I don’t have to be like other content creators who post consistently and have a specific style. I can post what I want, be “chaotic,” and talk about what I want in my own way. It’s been a journey accepting that the way I exist is different than many others. The need to be free from demands of other people is so real. I relate a lot to having hobbies in my brain. I have many things I’ve started learning. I get immersed in learning about them, sometimes for years, and then I set them aside. Sometimes I come back to them later, but not always. Some examples: crochet, origami, birding/bird watching, magic (performance), writing, learning Greek, collecting books, cooking, music (piano and guitar mainly), identifying plants. This is just some things. Thank you for sharing! I really connect with a lot of what you say.

I relate to this video so much. I saw your channel on Woodshed Theory, and I am so glad. I am currently going through the discovery of my own neurodivergence. What you said about losing your words when you’re talking about something important and vulnerable really connected with me. I have this same experience so often. I am much more expressive when I write about things like that. I can take my time and go back over what I write and edit it so that I can capture exactly what I mean. However, this takes so much time and energy and it’s not possible in most day-to-day situations. Thank you so much for sharing this! I am interested in going back and watching your other videos as well. I really appreciate people who are sharing their experiences like this because it makes me feel less alone.

To be outside in nature, without being perceived by other people...

Power walk in nature is healing for me. Every time it's hard to get there because of fear.

Hi Isabella, I totally get what you're saying, as being outside is refreshing for me too, especially in nature. I find that I breathe easier, have less stress, 'less pressure', and I have more energy. So while being outside has its downsides, like dealing with harsher conditions sometimes, when I compare it to the issues that come with being inside, I prefer being outside. That said, I definitely enjoy the comforts of being inside too. I am aware of the tradeoffs so I understand where you’re coming from. I think for most people, being outside, has this same effect whether they are aware of it or not. The word you are looking for when you want or should do something but for reason don't, might be 'procrastination'. The other word you are looking for when your thoughts are messy and all over the place is 'scattered thoughts', or 'complicated' or 'sophisticated', I think it might be ADHD but it might be something else. Personally I don't have a problem listening to others and letting them process their thoughts and working with them. I am very easy going and patient and I enjoy helping people work things out. As long as they have good intent and are interested in working things out then I would be there for them. That is how I am with everyone and everything. I am especially good with kids because of this character. While I don't have someone to help me process things, I’ve found ways to address things myself, and most people can do this also with a bit of practice. Once you have it, then you have your own self teacher, assistant, friend, and so on to work through anything. I like your videos because your are working on yourself towards this already, and sharing it helps you and others.

Thank you Isabella, very interesting video. I like your speech structures. You're very big on recursive sentence/paragraph forms and that feels very familiar to me. If you're comfortable doing it, just 'ramble' on camera when the urge takes you because it's actually interesting for very verbal autistic people to hear someone communicate the way we do. As the channel matures further, you're going to be tempted to either script or edit, so that you can 'stay on topic', but in actual fact it's the tree structure of your thoughts that's most valuable to people to experience because a lot of us find ourselves in thought loops and verbal loops but once the utterance is completed our brain tidies it away so that what we're left with is a kernel of information and intent, not the fine details. Just like dreams in a way: our memory doesn't bother keeping a long term record of things our mind judges to be superfluous or anachronistic. This is also involved in humour, which is why we laugh so much - albeit not at the same things necessarily as neuro-typical people. I'm sorry but I just don't find it endlessly hilarious to hear 'one-liners' in movies that amount to 'huh huh thats gotta hurt' - humour really consists in the brain rewarding itself for correcting incorrect beliefs. It's the same process as the post-dream or post-'ramble' phenomenon: all the flowery parts are just edited out as not marked for permanent storage, and sometimes it makes us laugh. Sorry, I'm not putting this very well. Thank you though, this was a very cool video. Coffee in a can must be a Swedish thing because I'd find that very strange. Is it hot? Can't be, the aluminium would conduct the heat. Cold coffee not my cup of tea as they say! lol

Nature is a sanctuary

:)

Your video made me smile and its a creative way to unmask and create awareness about it 🥰
