"Too gay for school...and too neurodivergent for school" She is so real

Is this from a recent concert? It is a wonderful moment. Aurora's the best! As a rule I don't go to pop music concerts, but Aurora's a rare exception I would make to that rule. I've managed to miss her shows here in Seattle twice due to scheduling conflicts (way back in 2016, and unfortunately I'll also miss the late November 2024 one here too - GRRR!!). But every time I see a video like this I know that these are my people, and the vibe in any arena that welcomes her and her fans would be just fine for me, too. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into her adorably goofy mind-space. Hope you had a lot of fun that day!

Since they have red and decoded original prehistoric neanderthale gens in their entirety now (nobel prize medicin 2022) the science has gotten much better. Look up "rare neanderthale score" and autism to get the latest research. In my opinion the high rare neanderscore in autists does not support that we are more "neanderthale". It supports speciation. The high bullying autist encounter can hence be counted as genocidal in intent.

I am autistic and I know I am smart. One thing I feel that I can do is identify autistic people among human crowds. I am naturally attracted to autistic people and approach them with zero fear just like I am attracted to you now when I hear you speak. ❤

I mean autistic meltdowns look like very primal behavior its kinda hard to not link it to neantherthals thats why subsaharan africans dont have autism

So, thanks for all the work you put into this video to share this information with us. I only heard of confirmed research today. Neanderthals are fascinating to me, too, because they engineered tools, whose parts could be carried efficiently, but could be expanded upon and built away from their shops. 🤣🤣 I have friends who would absolutely love that idea. This topic reminds me of the whale, 52… there is more than one, but they are a mix of fin and blue whales. If you don’t remember, 52 has a difficult time communicating with the other whales because of the frequency of his calls. From an objective perspective, I’m so excited they exist, because it is a more diverse expression of genetics. Hopefully it ensures the survival of the whales in our changing climate.

Psychopaths caused their extinction so it makes sense.

you're doing great

So I accept you and who you represent. Please in turn accept me also. With Love, Michael

Thank you so so much for sharing your journey !! I’m autistic and looking to go to medical school and you are very inspiring. It means a lot to see that ND community can thrive in so many different environments. I was feeling very discouraged but seeing your channel is very helpful.

How do your cats get along with your new dog? I’ve been thinking about getting an assistance dog too, but I’m worried about dog being too clingy at home and never seeing my cats again, because the dog is always in my face.

It certainly is an interesting idea. It shall be interesting to see what insights geneticists bring to the question.

Being a language geek and having studied German in college I always find it a bit frustrating how much boring old English is replacing foreign language content (especially German). Even DW seems to be pushing their English language reporting harder than their German language reporting. I get the logic, but it's sad. But if you were doing stuff exclusively in German, UA-cam probably wouldn't recommend it to me anyway. :-/

this song is actually ironic, as far as neuro typical people have told me (i did use it for something serious on tiktok)

Why its so real 😭

Why is this a problem for me? I didn’t get the diagnosis because it’s like a prize that isn’t that important. If a therapist says he/she/they don’t care about „Labels“ aka my diagnosis and wants to treat me based on what my problems are, that sounds good at first. But if you think about it, different diagnoses need different treatment strategies. Forcing myself into social situations that I don’t want to, like you do with anxiety, won’t end with me beating happy at overwhelming events, it will make things worse. That’s something I don’t need in my already exhausting life. But some patients don’t know better and are forced to go through this. „I don’t care about labels“ sounds like „I am to lazy to look this up, I’m just going to make things up along the way“

Hi, this theory was widely dismissed but may be back soon and with evidence this time. See MedRxiv - Enrichment of Rare and Uncommon Neanderthal Polymorphisms in Autistic Probands and Siblings. I feel this will be awkward for us if we are seen to be more "primitive".

I really don't react to memes

5:40 So you mean you are not perceived as autistic because of autistic masking ? 9:42 I think that the problem with "experts" is that they just study autism from books and from the outside of autistic people but the key thing to do is to talk to autistic people and check if the knowledge is right . 10:26 I think that the many "kinds" of autism are just collection of all the historical "discoverers" of autism and everyone of them wanted their own interpretation as diagnosis. I would say that autism spectrum means - spectrum of traits of autism, and each trait has its own intensity. 20:30 You wanted to tell that you experienced a sensory overload in shops ? 23:04 I think it can be expected that you are tired because autistic brain cannot "shield" itself from the sensory input as in neurotypicals and therefore it is overloaded and tired much sooner + the longer the too much of input lasts the worse it feels because autistic brain is not ignoring it as in neurotypicals. Thanks for authentic unedited video about autism

Happy New Year!!!

Rest in Peace little man 💔

12:40 one of the "funny things" is monotone voice to neurotypicals. i heard this somewhere on youtube

Merry Christmas, I really relate to your videos. My name is Darin and live in the US

I think this is true, and I didn't know anyone had this thought until I found this video

Merry Christmas!!! (Edit: Your videos are informative and interesting. Be Well.)

Omyword its like a breath of fresh air watching your videos. I've only just found out I might be autistic. Like a LOT of the things autistic people mention I also have experienced. When I first saw Divergent - I literally turned into Tris and tried to watch the movie like every day. Also, do you speak Spanish? Cause your english accent sounds like a friend of mine's who is from Argentina.

Love you! Great video 👍🏽

The phone call part, me “mmmm da phone call I mgiht have later this week” me thinking about being spontaneous in phone call, and right after that remembring I just had a plan for how the phone call will go so I don’t freak out, the monster phone calls, especially when you deeplyneed them, you hate them they are dreaded.

i relate so much to that thank you for sharing 💕💕

I've stimmed all throughout my life,without realizing it

I absolutely don't care for Autism Speaks, as I don't have a disease or terminal condition..

Thats quite nice as I have a necklace my older sister purchased for me several years ago, but I've never wore it; however after seeing your video I might consider wearing it..

I've found it very difficult to find friends whether it in an online manner or in my relatively solitary life

Yeah, not many people know how to help an autistic person when their initially diagnosed

Thanks for this video artistic autist

interesting study why small talk is not as interesting as for neurotypicals from mRI scans of brain pathways done at Stanford . Google find "Key social reward circuit in the brain impaired in kids with autism"

Thanks for researching this topic , it is interesting and can be helpful for other autistic people. Do not be so hard on yourself - like at the video beginning, giving valuable information outweighs it

Fascinating! I'm a autistic artist who loves to do some prehistoric life and I never thought there would be a connection between autism and Neanderthal DNA. Very interesting theory!

Thank you so much for your content. I think your videos give very helpful advice to both ND and NT people. Greetings from Germany 🤗

"disorder" macht einen aber auch nicht weniger Wert! Das hatte ich auch mal, das mir nur Anti Deppressiva verschrieben wurde, sonst kein Gespräch, nix. Hab es nicht in der Apotheke eingelöst und bin nur wegen Epilepsie noch zu ihm gegangen. Mittlerweile bin ich woanders.

Dein Englisch ist gut! Vielleicht hat zumindest mancher Autist in bestimmten Situationen weniger Empathie. Aber ich finde, dass viele "normale" genauso wenig Empathie zeigen manchmal.

After 10 months of my everyday research of autism and with coincidence and cello music from Hauser I have finally "seen through" my grandmother masking. She has always been acting like "be normal", polite and just be "perfect".I understand why, because when she was young there was just little of knowledge about autism, lots of misconceptions and feebleminded people asylums. But when i realized that she is autistic my brain replayed me all of my memories of me and grandma, and i just could cry in bed for 3 hours and reminisced. Everything now seems so obvious and i now understand the feeling of deep connection between me and grandma. In short: Women can mask incredibly well but i am starting to recognize when it is happening.

Also the puzzle piece symbol i think means they are trying to "solve the puzzle" which equals finding "cure" which is a bad goal.😤 and of course i cannot forget the "I am autism" video with the horror voice..

0:51 am I right that first one was Grunya Sakhareva in Russia in 1925 or was there someone even earlier ?

I would add one important thing. If you see someone in your job , school etc. and you think that person is autistic but you do not know him/her well , it is not your close person DO NOT ask Are you autistic ? Because when it is truth and the person do not know about it the consequences can include searching every information source possible, crying , replaying whole life with autism lense and it is really hard and confusing, emotionally draining and you are alone in this situation

Do you have any idea why having "t-rex hands" is more comfortable compared to neurotypical having "straight and relaxed" hands ?

Only useful thing about small talk i have found is when i do shopping and my allistic mom talks to me and i am trying to join the small talk it lowers my sensory issues with sound and light as my brain pays attention to her talking much more then to shop environment

Great videos.

You are quite brave . I chose social isolation instead .
