I now have an actual girlfriend for the very first time ever - at 37. I hope I never have to experienced being dumped, because it's something I've never had to deal with before, never having had a girlfriend before.
People don't believe me when I tell them my daughter has NEVER said, "I'm hungry." Thank you for all the great information and the walk through of this app. 💜
you have genuinely taught me so much about autism. you have a great impact on so many people, paige. you're an amazing person and i hope you know how much we care for you. take the time you need to feel better 💖
Hello! I’m autistic as well. I found you and your content through tiktok and you genuinely have taught me more about autism and what I go through then ANY doctor etc.) I bought the Tiimo app off your recommendation! I’m still learning and trying to get the hang of things but I can’t thank you enough! I’m so sorry to hear your going through a break up! Keep your head up girly! Give yourself a little more self love during this time! Much love!
Pomodoro is a study technique. It’s when you study for a while, say...1 hr. Then you take a 20 minute break. Then study again. So on. Until you get to finish your work. Some ppl find it useful. Some don’t. It depends. I have ADHD. I heard it helps some ppl with ADHD but for me...no.
I tried that, and it just means that I'll be stopped every time I slowly started to actually immerse myself in the material.. It is great that it helps people, but my only strength in regards to studying is that if I am lucky and do everything right, I might get some hours/days of hyperfocus, and taking short breaks is the worst thing I can do then! And I wish people would stop telling me my way is wrong, and the secret is "5 minute breaks every 20 minutes" or whatever their recipe is..
@@kajielin4354 Same. If I think I have the energy burst to focus and actually get my work done, the WORST THING you can do is to break my focus. I will NOT get that energy back when I return to my task. I tried everything suggested under the sun with this technique. Even bought apps. But for some ppl with ADHD, it works. Really well, in fact. To those ppl, yay! To us, boo lol.
@@dont_harsh_my_mellow Yes! And there is no harm in using different techniques, depending on what actually works for YOU! For me, the worst thing I ever tried were those 5 minute breaks. Not relaxing at all, didn't help in any way plus I lose any focus and immersion. Sorry, that really scarred me, lol
Tiimo really is handy af for days when I'm really down cause my brain just doesn't want to do anything but luckily past me already got a checklist ready so current me can just begrudgingly do the tasks I have to. It's like being my own parent or something.
so sorry to hear about your heartbreak! Wanted to be here with support because you indirectly supported me in feeling validated about my past experience and the way I am, which has led to me biting the bullet and getting myself referred to a diagnosis centre for autism! Something I never would have done without you breaking the stigma and the shame of confronting that for me-- simply by your being a lovely, charismatic and beautiful person! Wishing you better days ahead and enjoying the time we spend together in videos
I'm older and I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, social anxiety, medical anxiety (don't know if that's an official term but it's on my chart) PTSD and slight OCD. However, the more videos I watch the more I question things. So many things sound like me. I loved math because it had right answers, no room for interpretation. I hate change; I taught preschool for 23 years and hated changing my classroom. Not so much wall decor but furniture, centers etc. In grade school I had UTIs constantly and constipation because I was afraid to go the bathroom at school so I just put it out of my mind. I hate when people touch my stuff though I am organized. I had a chair at the kitchen bar I sat in forever, I always wanted the same lunch. I struggled to make friends and still do. It's crazy to me that I helped parents see when there were times they might want to seek out their pediatrician for assessment and I was usually correct (not bragging, just honesty). However, I never saw these things in myself. I tell my husband all the time that I want soft fabrics or I have to wear something soft underneath. I can't travel without my own blanket and pillow. I don't sleep in hotels and have to watch tv until I'm exhausted. I hate changing my routine and like to know ahead of time. I'm not a pop in and visit kind of person. You need to give me plenty of notice. I can't stand fluorescent lights and get headaches from them and I quit teaching because although I loved it, I had one child I couldn't help or reach, I was getting physically injured by him and I felt like a failure. I discounted all my successes even though I know that child struggled with additional staff and one on one care. I have not returned and won't. I loved my boss at this place and felt like she was a second mom. She knew all my diagnosis at the time but told me none of it mattered because I was the most amazing teacher she had. I was in constant competition with myself to get better each year than the year before. I was obsessed with continuing education and still am despite no longer teaching. I just really relate to a lot of what you say and I was constantly masking especially for the parents. Sorry this is so long. I just had to get it out.
This app is game changing. My whole life I have struggled with what I call “ill-defined tasks.” If I don’t know what is involved in a task, I can’t start it. My mom has helped me to “define the task” at various times, which has helped, but I have never found a productivity app, planner, or even to-do list style that works for me. An app that is built to define ill-defined tasks is absolutely revolutionary. Thank you!!
I am autistic too and before there were apps and planners and I could barely function to be honest. I never ate and forgot to everything and was constantly overwhelmed trying to remember things. Technology has helped me so much! Glad you're doing the longer videos on here as well as tictoc, tictoc makes my head spin a bit bcos the videos are so short but I'm sticking with it and hoping I get used to it!! Sorry you're feeling down at the moment relationships are so difficult for us in the first place and breakups are the worst. Just be kind to yourself and give it time, that's all you can do! ❤️
@Democracy The Rule Of Idiots I think people don't realize that your food can actually give you a good bit of body water. Especially if you're eating food with high water content like vegetables, fruit, etc. And let's not forget, say, the milk we put in our cereal, or the juice we have later on, or whatever. It's not fully hydrating, but it definitely helps.
your ex is a darn fool. you have a beautiful soul (i dont even believe in souls but... you know what i mean). thank you so much for your content, you are helping so many people ❤️❤️
Thank you for making these videos 💜 I've always struggled to explain my experience with interoception, I had no idea there was even a term for it!? That's a game-changer! Being able to put these experiences into words is so important especially when it comes to finding the right kind of support. I'm glad more people are sharing their knowledge online so we can all benefit.
Thanks for this! As someone who forgets to eat, or shower, or do things I need to do, often, I'll definitely think about grabbing this app. Also, some unsolicited advice for dealing with a breakup (feel free to ignore, this is just what helped me) -working out is weirdly helpful, seriously. And I'm a weakling who doesn't like ever working out, so the fact that I'm recommending it is like...wack. But fr, doing one of my mom's workout discs from the nineties called "The FIRM" was what finally snapped me out of my post breakup slump. - you will have ups and downs, that is natural, don't focus on trying to prevent the downs or extend the ups, just use the ups to do things you want to do, and take care of yourself during the downs, let yourself hurt, let yourself lie prone on the floor listening to Alanis Morissette. -Don't get hung up on when you're "supposed" to be over it. I remember after my breakup I would CONSTANTLY look up "how long will it take to get over this?" And then I'd beat myself up for not being over it by that time. That was lame. 0/10 would not recommend. HOWEVER: - Do put a limit on the ways you express those feelings. Make a rule saying "after such and such many months, I will not mention or vent about him to my family or friends" or "after such and such date, I will not write any more sad poetry about him", because those things can lead you into a self perpetuating cycle that stops you from naturally moving on. -Idk how amicably y'all's split was, but if it was the kind of we can still be friends thing, you need to have some time enforcing a clean break. Maybe you can be friends again eventually, but while you're still recovering, it's not healthy. That's my tips, feel free to take or ignore as necessary, and remember, this too shall pass. :3
I’m not diagnosed with any sort of neurodivergence but I have so much trouble with feeling hunger, the urge to use the washroom, and drinking so this video was super helpful! I’m pretty sure I’m neurodivergent in some way but I’m working on a diagnosis
Thank you! You always help a ton with your videos. You are one of my role models and give me hope that I could eventually learn to cope and live better with my autism, ADHD, and mental illnesses. I feel like I can relate to you and your story since I am a 16 year old girl who just got diagnosed a few months ago. Im sorry about your breakup also. Keep being awesome Paige!
I know you mentioned that you're heavily masking but I want to express my admiration regardless : how incredibly strong you are to still show up for YT and your engagements in a time of emotionnal distress. I'm impressed. I hope you're feeling at least a bit better now ❤️ Take care
I struggle so much with interception but only recently learned it’s a thing! For example I’ll go literally days without eating because I’m not feeling hungry 😅
My youtube wasn't letting me comment lately but I finally can and I'm so glad I can finally tell you how helpful you are and how much I enjoy watching your videos knowing I'm not alone. Thank you so much
Previously I had tried a different (free) routine based app and it was terrible...got what I paid for. I recently got Tiimo based on a couple different recommendations. Those were very convincing (obviously) but lacked depth. Thank you for going into so much more detail about how the app can work. I was kinda struggling with getting it set up for my needs. It was nice to see what it can do. Thank you!!!
I love watching your channel I was born with Microsephaly and I love learning about different disabilities and finding new ways to make my life better.
Sorry about ur bf, make sure you’re kind to yourself for the next few weeks, breakups are tough but I always tell myself they help us grow as people. Thinking of you and hope you feel better Paige!
sometimes my interoceptive system just totally flip flops. sometimes i feel like i’m ALWAYS hungry and sometimes i’m never hungry. same with peeing, being thirsty, temperature, emotion etc. it’s totally interesting
This is an excellent video. Even though it's promotional, it subtly emphasizes the differences between NTs an NDs. If I had a penny for every time I said to a psychiatrist that I feel bad and they asked me: "What are your thoughts?". It drove me insane. i can't verbalize how I feel! I also often fail to feel hunger or thirst. On the other hand, I spend a lot of time every day on the toilet. But I think that's down to the way anxiety and stress affects my bladder and bowel movements. I considered using Tiimo, but because I work full time, most of my day's schedule is in relation to working hours. If I was still freelancing, that would really come in handy. Also I can't stand wearing a wrist watch. I'm barely tolerating the tiny Fitbit. (I do have to use an app to track my meds though, otherwise I miss taking them all the time.)
Hi Paige just wanted to let you know how I love watching you my daughter is Autistic and you have really help me on my journey. Thanks for the info in that app it's been great help for us. X
Your channel gives me a lot of hope. I am on the spectrum and I have ptsd along with that. Seeing your channel your beautiful inside and out. Your going to find someone incredible!
I'm at a point where I can't even bother with scheduling my time because I know it'll never work. I really got stuff to work on, thanks for the app suggestion, and sorry about your breakup.
First, I am really sorry to hear about your breakup! Having been broken up with, I know how much it stings! If it helps, just remember that you deserve someone who sees you for the amazing person that you are, and that you deserve to keep on looking until you find the one who knows just how incredible you are, not settle for the one who can’t see what makes you so wonderful! Thank you so much for this video, especially when you weren’t quite feeling up to it and having to mask as a result! I’m just now diving into Tiimo’s trial period, and didn’t know where to even start. Your really awesome tutorial showed me not only how it works, but also showed me some features that are going to be really useful for me. Thanks so much for this!
Thank you for sharing this resource. I got it today and I am lovingggg it!!! I definitely need routine in my life. I haven't been diagnosed, but I think I am on the spectrum because I resonate with a lot of the things you share in your videos!!!
im sorry about the bf situation paige ): it is never easy but we understand if u need to take your time. i love your videos and i hope you take care of yourself you deserve good things
I am only 2 minutes in, and I already appreciate all the things that you have touched on. Thank you. I am similar in that my depression on top of already being introverted, makes me unmotivated. Ticking tasks, having a schedule is the way I cope. I haven't really found anything that has EVERYTHING to keep me accountable for keeping myself happy and alive. I can't wait to watch the rest of the video and see how the app works, and to see if it is worth the annual subscription.
I love how we are all so different. I don't think I have ever had any sort of issue with feeling hunger/thirst/temperature/pain etc. I think I'm actually on the sensitive side of this I feel emotions and physical feelings very acutely. It's so cool to learn about other people's experiences, even if we have the same diagnosis we have such varying issues which is what I personally find so interesting!
6:59 it's basically where you work for 25 minutes have a 5-minute break and repeat it after every 4 25 minutes work blocks you take a 15-minute break and then you just repeat until you done with whatever you needed to complete
The "creator" of the technique based it on a kitchen timer that looks like a tomato (pomodoro means tomato in either Spanish or Italian, can't remember off the top of my head, and he used a tomato shaped kitchen timer for his experiments) Also hello fellow Sophie!
I would love to hear your opinion on something. People seem to say a lot "fake it till you make it" especially in situations where you feel uncomfortable. As I understand it, these are the situations you would mask a lot. How do you think masking ties into that? And do you think it contradicts one another?
Omg I never knew about this and I never feel hungry or thirsty either, to the point where I used to get bladder infections from dehydrating myself :( I am very sensitive to the cold though lol
Also thank you so much for this video! I’m always forgetting to eat and that’s bad for my health because I have iron deficiency, and I’m always forgetting to take my pill so this app will really help me!
Love this! Along w Autism I have MDD, GAD, and C-PTSD so sometimes my memory decides it doesn't wanna work. I've been looking all over for an app that could make sure I at least take care of myself, so this might be just what I'm looking for.
My Aspie brain: making shopping list according to memorized layout of shop. Yes this is good. Also me: Attempting to telepathically take some of the emotional pain of breakup from you. Also also me: noticing that your pen does not align parallel to your tablet. It's ok, it's fine, honestly.
defo need to be using tiimo, love your vids btw i find it fascinating how autism is different for everyone, like i also have a high pain tolerance but i’m super sensitive to heat, summer is hell for me!! even in the winter i sleep with a fan on and windows open! :) your gorgeous also x
This helps me so much! I had downloaded tiimo already but I find it hard to think of what I should put in. I like seeing examples of how others use it so this was great for me. I'm so sorry about the breakup :( Sending you lots of love!
Let us know if we can help in any way!! Some people find the pre-made Tiimo routines helpful in getting started. Good luck and, again, please reach out with any questions!
Sending you good vibes, Paige. I struggle with this too so appreciate the effort it took to make this video when you were in such a tough place emotionally.
I just want to say you are an incredible women and you have done so much good for us ASDs and the world and general. I have been single for pretty much all my early 20s and I can tell you while it doesn't feel like it now you can have a full life without a partner.
1:31 Yep. Same. I've stubbed my toes so many times to the point of them coming off, and idk it's a problem until someone in the house freaks out and tells me I'm bleeding, and that my big toe no longer has a nail anymore.
Thank you for this video! It made me feel so normal for the first time ❤️ it’s so helpful to hear other people struggling with things that are so natural to others ❤️
Very sorry for your break up that must have really sucked even though sometimes those things are for the best I don’t know if I really need Timmo a lot of my daily things are processed in my head example being before work I need a entire hour to get ready before I leave and arrive at work on certain times
Your a super star. Sorry your going thru the waves of breakup. Also I’m a 36 year adult and autistic. I’ve never brought up this not feeling certain things to doctor. Just always since I was a kid had trouble explaining the emotions or feeling I was having. I have trouble feeling if it’s to hot or cold out. My family used to think that was just me not being prepared to go out. People in my life have had to remind me to go bathroom, I’ll forget to drink at all more than food, taking a bath I can’t always feel how hot the water is.. not saying I have this diagnosis but it’s what I’ve experienced my whole life. Also my skin will hurt all over and that affects my mood or hunger. At times I go mute as well when in situations.
Pomodoro is a productivity tool popular with ADHD people! It's basically incremental times for bouncing between work time and break time! 25/5 work to break is a common ratio but it's super customizable. :) sorry if you already googled it haha. I find it really good for tackling stuff I'm anxious about or unmotivated for.
Thank you so much for making this video❤ It was super helpful to me, because I'm struggling so much with this right now. I just bought an ipad to help me plan things out, but I found that I couldn't bring it with me everywhere😓 therefore the reminders it sent me were kinda pointless. But maybe with this app it can send the reminders to my phone and it will be a bigger help❤ Love you btw, and I'm really sorry you got dumped😞💔 Sending you lots of love and hugs💕
I’m so sorry to hear about your break up! You’re such a beautiful and smart girl and everything happens for a reason, hope you’re doing well girl! I love your videos so much, I find it extremely educating, it’s really good to know about it! Thank you and never stop making videos please hehe 🤍🤍✨
Pomodoro is when you study ( or do other things) , its like you can work 15 min then you have 5 minutes of break then work again 15 min after 5 min of break and so on
I get the 10 minutes of homework thing bc sometimes I get too anxious to start something that is difficult or confusing, so I promise myself I only have to do 10 minutes of it at a time. Sometimes that's all it takes to get in the flow and sometimes I work on something ten minutes at a time and switch off with something I find relaxing/easy in between (assuming I have a lot of time to finish the project)
thanks for this video! I've been struggling with keeping track of time and because of this I searched for an app to help and I've found one that works for me! I'm sorry to hear about the breakup. I love your videos on here and on tiktok and I hope you feel better soon! :)
I’m sorry you had a breakup. My son is autistic, so your channel brings me comfort. I hope he grows up to be like you.
a girl ????
Being dumped is never easy, sending good vibes your way!
I now have an actual girlfriend for the very first time ever - at 37. I hope I never have to experienced being dumped, because it's something I've never had to deal with before, never having had a girlfriend before.

sorry if this is creepy but your eyes are so pretty!!!!
Complimenting someone isn't creepy 😊. And I totally agree ☺
She knows ;)
Not creepy at all. Her eyes are beautiful.
@@Nuunu88, oh but it can 😄
That's what hit me about her - so many of Paige's videos become wise words delivered by an amazing pair of eyes. It's kind of hypnotic.
I’m constantly dehydrated because I’m never thirsty 🤷🏼♀️

Im sorry about your breakup also.
Keep being awesome Paige!
Sorry about your breakup! You deserve someone who really appreciates you ❤ remember how amazing you are!
I never knew this had a name! Can't believe I went so long thinking that hunger wasn't real 😅
Neither did I! 😆

I love to learn about autism, adhd, did, etc. and you are so good when it comes to explain! You are strong, I believe in you!♥️
This could actually be helpful for me when I’m going through dissociative episodes and having memory issues
We hope it's helpful! Let us know if you have any questions about getting started.
Previously I had tried a different (free) routine based app and it was terrible...got what I paid for. I recently got Tiimo based on a couple different recommendations. Those were very convincing (obviously) but lacked depth. Thank you for going into so much more detail about how the app can work. I was kinda struggling with getting it set up for my needs. It was nice to see what it can do. Thank you!!!
I love watching your channel I was born with Microsephaly and I love learning about different disabilities and finding new ways to make my life better.
Sorry about ur bf, make sure you’re kind to yourself for the next few weeks, breakups are tough but I always tell myself they help us grow as people. Thinking of you and hope you feel better Paige!
sometimes my interoceptive system just totally flip flops. sometimes i feel like i’m ALWAYS hungry and sometimes i’m never hungry. same with peeing, being thirsty, temperature, emotion etc. it’s totally interesting
This is an excellent video. Even though it's promotional, it subtly emphasizes the differences between NTs an NDs.
If I had a penny for every time I said to a psychiatrist that I feel bad and they asked me: "What are your thoughts?". It drove me insane. i can't verbalize how I feel!
I also often fail to feel hunger or thirst.
On the other hand, I spend a lot of time every day on the toilet. But I think that's down to the way anxiety and stress affects my bladder and bowel movements.
I considered using Tiimo, but because I work full time, most of my day's schedule is in relation to working hours. If I was still freelancing, that would really come in handy.
Also I can't stand wearing a wrist watch. I'm barely tolerating the tiny Fitbit.
(I do have to use an app to track my meds though, otherwise I miss taking them all the time.)
My daughter is autistic and a lot of your advice helps me help her.
Some digital love, and thanks for introducing tiimo. Doesn't run on my phone, but I can probably use some of these techniques in my own way!
Hi Paige just wanted to let you know how I love watching you my daughter is Autistic and you have really help me on my journey. Thanks for the info in that app it's been great help for us. X
Your channel gives me a lot of hope. I am on the spectrum and I have ptsd along with that. Seeing your channel your beautiful inside and out. Your going to find someone incredible!
I have Aspergers/Schizo-affective disorder. I literally had a really bad episode today and was in desperate need to hear this. Thank you so much.
I'm at a point where I can't even bother with scheduling my time because I know it'll never work.
I really got stuff to work on, thanks for the app suggestion, and sorry about your breakup.
First, I am really sorry to hear about your breakup! Having been broken up with, I know how much it stings! If it helps, just remember that you deserve someone who sees you for the amazing person that you are, and that you deserve to keep on looking until you find the one who knows just how incredible you are, not settle for the one who can’t see what makes you so wonderful! Thank you so much for this video, especially when you weren’t quite feeling up to it and having to mask as a result! I’m just now diving into Tiimo’s trial period, and didn’t know where to even start. Your really awesome tutorial showed me not only how it works, but also showed me some features that are going to be really useful for me. Thanks so much for this!
So sorry 😞. Break ups suck. Sending positivity and love your way.🥰🤗
Thank you for sharing this resource. I got it today and I am lovingggg it!!! I definitely need routine in my life. I haven't been diagnosed, but I think I am on the spectrum because I resonate with a lot of the things you share in your videos!!!
Amazing to hear Leah! Let us know if you have any questions as you're getting started :)
im sorry about the bf situation paige ): it is never easy but we understand if u need to take your time. i love your videos and i hope you take care of yourself you deserve good things
I’ve used Tiimo for about 2 months now and it’s changed my life! Well worth the 20$ a year. Also sorry about the break up much love to you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow thank you so much for sharing
I downloaded it and honestly...worth it...the price isnt so bad for a year too
Paige I am so sorry! take breaks when you need to and try to be easy on yourself, we love you and appreciate all the work you do!
I am only 2 minutes in, and I already appreciate all the things that you have touched on. Thank you. I am similar in that my depression on top of already being introverted, makes me unmotivated. Ticking tasks, having a schedule is the way I cope. I haven't really found anything that has EVERYTHING to keep me accountable for keeping myself happy and alive. I can't wait to watch the rest of the video and see how the app works, and to see if it is worth the annual subscription.
I love how we are all so different. I don't think I have ever had any sort of issue with feeling hunger/thirst/temperature/pain etc. I think I'm actually on the sensitive side of this I feel emotions and physical feelings very acutely. It's so cool to learn about other people's experiences, even if we have the same diagnosis we have such varying issues which is what I personally find so interesting!
6:59 it's basically where you work for 25 minutes have a 5-minute break and repeat it after every 4 25 minutes work blocks you take a 15-minute break and then you just repeat until you done with whatever you needed to complete
The "creator" of the technique based it on a kitchen timer that looks like a tomato (pomodoro means tomato in either Spanish or Italian, can't remember off the top of my head, and he used a tomato shaped kitchen timer for his experiments)
Also hello fellow Sophie!
Youre so beautiful, inside & out. It’s completely his loss & i promise it will get easier & you’ve got this ♥️
I would love to hear your opinion on something.
People seem to say a lot "fake it till you make it" especially in situations where you feel uncomfortable. As I understand it, these are the situations you would mask a lot. How do you think masking ties into that? And do you think it contradicts one another?
Omg I never knew about this and I never feel hungry or thirsty either, to the point where I used to get bladder infections from dehydrating myself :( I am very sensitive to the cold though lol
Also thank you so much for this video! I’m always forgetting to eat and that’s bad for my health because I have iron deficiency, and I’m always forgetting to take my pill so this app will really help me!
Love this! Along w Autism I have MDD, GAD, and C-PTSD so sometimes my memory decides it doesn't wanna work. I've been looking all over for an app that could make sure I at least take care of myself, so this might be just what I'm looking for.
My Aspie brain: making shopping list according to memorized layout of shop. Yes this is good.
Also me: Attempting to telepathically take some of the emotional pain of breakup from you.
Also also me: noticing that your pen does not align parallel to your tablet. It's ok, it's fine, honestly.
I’m already loving this app. I have ADHD and have been looking for something that really helps.
Yay! So happy to hear that. Feel free to reach out if you ever have questions or feature requests :)
defo need to be using tiimo, love your vids btw i find it fascinating how autism is different for everyone, like i also have a high pain tolerance but i’m super sensitive to heat, summer is hell for me!! even in the winter i sleep with a fan on and windows open! :) your gorgeous also x
This helps me so much! I had downloaded tiimo already but I find it hard to think of what I should put in. I like seeing examples of how others use it so this was great for me. I'm so sorry about the breakup :( Sending you lots of love!
Let us know if we can help in any way!! Some people find the pre-made Tiimo routines helpful in getting started. Good luck and, again, please reach out with any questions!
I used tiimo because of you and it is very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing this!!
Sending you good vibes, Paige. I struggle with this too so appreciate the effort it took to make this video when you were in such a tough place emotionally.
Really useful video! Thanks a lot! I hope you take good care of yourself and are well. I’ve learned a lot. ❤
omg i have never been this early I'M SO HAPPY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Sorry to hear about the breakup. Oh, well his loss! This app looks really interesting. I think I will check it out later.
I just want to say you are an incredible women and you have done so much good for us ASDs and the world and general. I have been single for pretty much all my early 20s and I can tell you while it doesn't feel like it now you can have a full life without a partner.
I do not have ASD, but this is honestly so beneficial and I will start using it ASAP!!!
1:31 Yep. Same. I've stubbed my toes so many times to the point of them coming off, and idk it's a problem until someone in the house freaks out and tells me I'm bleeding, and that my big toe no longer has a nail anymore.
Bruhhh break-ups SUCK. Honestly impressed you're getting up and uploading videos
Thank you for this video! It made me feel so normal for the first time ❤️ it’s so helpful to hear other people struggling with things that are so natural to others ❤️
Thanks so much for your channel :) Love you! Keep up the great work ❤
Awwwwh bebee💔💔💔 I'm so so sorry. I hope youre able to rest and take care of yourself, and things get better for you.💝💝💝
This was such a good video! Got timo after seeing you recommend it previously it’s really good
Thank you so much for posting this saw u mention it before and wondered what it looked like and how u use it.
PAIGE!!! ILY!!!
YOURE FAST!!! ILY2!!!
@@realpaigelayle OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY YOU MADE MY WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK
Very sorry for your break up that must have really sucked even though sometimes those things are for the best
I don’t know if I really need Timmo a lot of my daily things are processed in my head example being before work I need a entire hour to get ready before I leave and arrive at work on certain times
I'll definitely try this out next year
Your a super star. Sorry your going thru the waves of breakup.
Also I’m a 36 year adult and autistic. I’ve never brought up this not feeling certain things to doctor. Just always since I was a kid had trouble explaining the emotions or feeling I was having. I have trouble feeling if it’s to hot or cold out. My family used to think that was just me not being prepared to go out. People in my life have had to remind me to go bathroom, I’ll forget to drink at all more than food, taking a bath I can’t always feel how hot the water is.. not saying I have this diagnosis but it’s what I’ve experienced my whole life. Also my skin will hurt all over and that affects my mood or hunger. At times I go mute as well when in situations.
I absolutely HATE change! So my heart goes out to you!! ♡
sending you the most positive vibes🥺 I'm so sorry for what happened bubs. we've got your back!!
Sending lots of love for you to get through this break up and stay wonderful!! ❤️ You got this!!! 💪
Pomodoro is a productivity tool popular with ADHD people! It's basically incremental times for bouncing between work time and break time! 25/5 work to break is a common ratio but it's super customizable. :) sorry if you already googled it haha. I find it really good for tackling stuff I'm anxious about or unmotivated for.
Thank you so much for making this video❤ It was super helpful to me, because I'm struggling so much with this right now.
I just bought an ipad to help me plan things out, but I found that I couldn't bring it with me everywhere😓 therefore the reminders it sent me were kinda pointless. But maybe with this app it can send the reminders to my phone and it will be a bigger help❤
Love you btw, and I'm really sorry you got dumped😞💔 Sending you lots of love and hugs💕
I’m so sorry to hear about your break up! You’re such a beautiful and smart girl and everything happens for a reason, hope you’re doing well girl! I love your videos so much, I find it extremely educating, it’s really good to know about it! Thank you and never stop making videos please hehe 🤍🤍✨
Good video. Continue on your road on getting the silver play button along with interviewing with Chris ULMER of SBSK
Pomodoro is when you study ( or do other things) , its like you can work 15 min then you have 5 minutes of break then work again 15 min after 5 min of break and so on
Very informative. It will get better soon. Sending you a big hug. 💛
Sorry about your break up :/ hope you heal fast
Sorry about your breakup. Thanks for sending us good vibes with your video!!
So sorry about the breakup. First I've ever heard of interoception. Interesting.
Thank you for recommending this app, it's already helped me a ton!
ILY so much, you're an inspiration
Can you have problems with interoception specific to certain needs? I only have this with thirst.
I'm so sorry to hear about your breakup. Sending you so much love
I get the 10 minutes of homework thing bc sometimes I get too anxious to start something that is difficult or confusing, so I promise myself I only have to do 10 minutes of it at a time. Sometimes that's all it takes to get in the flow and sometimes I work on something ten minutes at a time and switch off with something I find relaxing/easy in between (assuming I have a lot of time to finish the project)
hey your videos really help me after i first got diagnosed
I got tiimo last summer, used it for like a week bu ti couldn't get to grips with it. I might try it again now
thanks for this video! I've been struggling with keeping track of time and because of this I searched for an app to help and I've found one that works for me! I'm sorry to hear about the breakup. I love your videos on here and on tiktok and I hope you feel better soon! :)
