Honestly, major props to Rekkles for opening up about the diagnosis. I imagine that quite a few of the players in the pro scene may have some form of autism and they may be unaware of it.
It is actually nice to hear Rekkles opening up about his diagnosis. Even more so for me i think as i got the very same diagnosis as Rekkles and i have been freaked out about it.
Don't worry, having a proper diagnostic can explain some things you have been through or will go through, but really you just continue living your life, just like Rekkles says you know.
Just be aware you aren’t alone. And it is who you are. Learn to be comfortable with yourself and what you need and be accepting of yourself. As Rekkles said, be aware that it allows you to look after yourself properly and be prepared for every day.
Yh exactly as others as said don’t take the diagnosis as be all end all take it as you know who and exactly who you are and embrace that side of you. I’m high functioning and for so long it was a mind fuck and trying to fit in but since knowing it makes it easier to be involved in social situations and explaining it and educating others.
This was one of the best, most wholesome things I’ve watched in my entire life. In a toxic masculine ‘gamer’ world, this is what we need more of. Hats off to the both of you.
We love to see it. I am especially happy to see this discussion of how diagnosis is actually a really good thing. People often assume that the autism label will be really bad for someone, but the reality is that somebody like us is going to have the same problems whether they have the label or not. Without the label, it's much harder for them to find solutions, and don't even understand why they have these issues. Having the diagnosis helps a lot. I'm really happy to hear that it's helping him.
Having a diagnosis is not only a life saver for a person with autism but also to people around you. I can bet a lot of conflicts in the past wouldn't have happened because people would be more understanding.
I made the same transition as Rekkles is trying to make in that I stopped trying to be 'normal' and it did wonders for me and the people I live and work with. I realized that trying to please, adjust or try to be like others actually made me a a less fun person to be around, cause it made me a stressed and frustrated person. I never got tested but it's just something that for me came with age and introspection and I think this advice is very valuable for everyone, not just people i 'the spectrum'. It's simply knowing who you are, accepting it and become a better version for yourself and a a result a better version of yourself.
so happy rekkles was comfortable to speak about this, it feels very validating to hear someone has had similar experiences to me, and it really helps normalize autism, especially in the league of legends community
Neurodiversity is a big opportunity. Starting to think of it as a different way of thinking that comes with up- and downsides rather than something negative, is the way to go. So i'm happy he addresses it as such.
I like how Rekkles' thinking of his diagnosis is about the same with LS, who also diagnosed with ASD. They both learned their condition later in life and knowing it made their life better because they're able to understand themselves better from that point onward.
Damn that was actually very inspiring, he has such a great approach on the situation and communicated it in such an intelligent way. Autism or not I think we should all be taking notes, because in the end, we all have our ways and tendencies, wether they are on a spectrum or not. Like he said, it's not a malfunction or a problem it's just a part of who we are.
You talk as if he was heavily disabled. Yea, he may be partially disabled but thw man still has coherent thoughts and solid intelligence and sentience to be communicated normally, don't talk as if he's a special child. He's simply socially impaired due to mental wirings, and hopefully he overcomes this rather than just accept this as a fact
People need to be more open minded when others do weird or inexpected things. Sometimes even bad things. Most of the times people just need professional help. I truly believe that the understanding of our brains and minds will change in the next 20-40 years and people like Rekkles will find themselves sooner than it is today. Happy for Rekkles
In which way ? I also considered checking up on it, but since theres no real treatment or advantage for knowing it, i felt like its not worth the effort
@@SurinamElephant I think it brings more insight to why you do the things you do and why certain things affect you more than other people it helps you understand how to deal with stuff you probably thought impossible to deal with in the past. At least that's how it was for some of my friends!
@@apotato577 How does a diagnosis help you deal with stuff or understand yourself better ? Autism has such a big spectrum that in the end youre still stuck with learning about yourself either way. Having a name for it just tells you "there are others who behave and feel similarly", even though thats true already anyway.
@@SurinamElephant I mostly did it for my som getting his diagnosis and to get the help i needed at university. It has helped me understanding my past failures by realising I was never able to succeed in those situations due to the circumstances setting me up to fail. It's cheaper here which also helped. Otherwise apart from understanding and being more kind to myself I didn't get too much out of it apart from my world view changing and becoming a better and more understanding person in general.
@@SurinamElephant No treatment is necessary since it's nothing wrong with the individual just their surroundings coming up short. A lot of people got a lot nicer once I got my diagnosis though and knowing for sure helped a lot with imposter syndrome and not wasting energy or time and things or situations I know I won't thrive in. Also it helped me to accept that my way of studying and workinf works best for me, instead of trying to adapt other's ways of doing things and failing spectacularly at them.
I think it's very brave to talk about it so transparently. hopefully this opens up a world where people can understand, respect, tolerate others better and protect theirselves and others. thank you for sharing this
Haha, now he makes so much more sense to me! It fits so well... Happy to know that Rekkles is part of the autsitic family, I welcome him! Being open about it is such a good thing for destigmatizing the world. Even I as an autist have a sort of negative stigma connected to being autistic because of how some people talk about people on the spectrum. A living high performer and a legend in the space is an outstanding icon to have. And now Rekkles himself might get tools to help him reach all his desired goals, even past his league career.
Rekkles is one of this player (e sport or normal sport) that I feel like means way more then just a player for me. I kinda grew up watching him and the way as a person he evolves is so cool and interesting to see. I don’t think there are really others like that in esport tbh
What i've learned especially from having gotten the diagnosis is that most things at least for me are connected to having control. If there's a problem that I can't get out of my head until it's resolved, it's usually because I have no control over the problem or what the person might do with the problem. Having a highly detailed schedule with little change also gives a lot of stability and control.
@@noahnas1587 Yeah, I might have the same diagnosis but there's no point then in having it be "official" because I already knew those things about myself. I like stability, same routines every day, planned stuff, having control of the situation and not having drastic changes regularly. I also have high sensitivity to external stimuli which usually translates to not being very comfortable in places with very high noises (kinda difficult in Spain, a country notorious in Europe for having VERY loud conversations...). This has made me a "weird" person in my job and many social situations but I never bothered to do the same things as the rest, I knew from years ago what works for me and what doesn't and if I have to be the party popper, leave parties early or not go to parties at all to feel good so be it.
Funny thing, but actually better is to seek informations on yt. It is lot of creators with special interest in autism. And actually most of psychology profesionals are uneducated on autism spectrum and will rather say You are not, especially if You are not man or You are just high masking
Shocking to me, that he was diagnosed so late. He's playing professionaly for more than 10 years, and teams hiring psychologist and for all those years no one suggest him, he might have autism?
you would think so, but late diagnosis is actually quite common. Many people with level 1/high functioning autism are good at "masking", which is where you have trained yourself (often unconsciously) to act more "normal" or "neurotypical" in order to blend in and be more accepted in society. Plus, psychologists much like medical doctors are not all-knowing, and generally have a much greater understanding of a specific area of psychology/medicine. I would imagine the psychologists they hire are more trained in sports psychology than neurodivergence.
I could have diagnosed him within 30 seconds. It's been obvious to me for years, it was probably obvious to the majority of people around him but it's pointless bringing it up. Most challenger players have autism. Caedral definitely does too.
So strong! Always keep the will up to improve and keep faith for a better future in mind. We can always evolve into a better and more understanding person. And communication is an absolute key for success and maybe our most essential tool for interaction. Rekkles is just speaking the truth and noone has to be afraid or to be ashamed of it. Finally, as Wim Hof says: All the Love, all the Power!
So glad rekkles got some understanding in his life. My son is high functioning autistic too. You dont nessicarily need a to the T schedule, but an overall daily routine. With my son, he wakes up about the exact time every morning and has to have either cereal or a doughnut for breakfast, goes to school, comes home n needs an hr to unwind on his games. After that hes pretty flexable on what we do, but bed time is 9:30-10:00. If hes misses that window, it shows the following day a lot. Rekky saying its like he bsod and has to reboot was a great analogy to describe how 1 little thing can just ruin a day and you cant get it out of your head. Thats my son to a T as well. Yall have a lot in common, and im sure hell enjoy hearing this from someone with your fame rekkles. And thanks to cadreal for taking the time to share the awareness with your large following. Youre both great people and have always enjoyed watching cadreal casts n rekky makin plays on the rift! The more people who know how autism works, the more comfortable the austic cats can shine who they really are and not just be some weird guy who avoids people cuz they dont understand them. Ggwp.
My wife also got diagnosed with aspergers a few years back and i feel a lot with you Rekkles. Hope you have supportive people around you that know your limits and know to respect them
When I got diagnosed they still called it asperges. Idk what changed but I think it makes it harder to identify the problems you have now because autism is a huge spectrum with a lot of variety from person to person. By categorizing the different forms it made it easier for me to wrap my head around it because it narrowed it down.
Autism diagnosis currently has levels. If you were previously diagnosed with Asperger’s you would now be classified as level 1 autism. Hope this helps to categorize for you!
@@Daniel-bs8vb Depends which country you live though. In England there are no levels you are just on the ASD spectrum. Some countries still use Aspergers, and others have the Autism levels.
@@FinalHoobatrue! Most European countries are using ICD-11 (vs DSM-V in USA), which also removed Asperger’s as a diagnosis but does have some slightly different diagnostic criteria.
thanks to this video i came across the topic and i know now why my life went how it went. i was trying to figure out what's wrong with me for over 20 years now. i also assume i have not just autism but also ADHD, it's actually very common, theres different research about it, which indicates that between 30% and 80% of people with autism also have ADHD. as a child i was actually at the doctor for autism but back then i didn't make the cut to get the diagnosis. it makes me sad, thinking about all the people that miss a diagnosis. as i think just being aware of the conditions you have unique to you can have a huge positive impact on your life.
I was once diagnosed with cronical deppresion in the exact moment when doctor told me that, I was feeling better. Then with therapy miracle happened - I started to feel my breathing better, pollen alergy diesapear, i stop biting my nails ( just one of positive efects 😅)... In short i except myself who I am and that i need help like everyone i this world. If you feel that way always speak to people who are close to you and then proced with therapy on profesionall lvl if needed.
Strong shit rekkles!!! I studied psychology so i know all about the spectrum. Just knowing how to work with it and accepting who you are will make your life a lot more worth living! I would not have thought that you are on the spectrum since you can show emotion and you are able to articulate properly which is common on the spectrum. much love my dude!
HE DID A WECHSLER. Its a big deal. Good on him for accepting it. Thats the first issue. But getting specific help in the specific way.... its nothing but good. I genuinely feel so bad for him for blacking out his tats. Hes going to regret it and there is no way back. I am borderline and ocd. I did a wechsler a couple years ago. I am not autistic at all; i *swore* i was. The summary is that getting help is key. Its paramount. Its getting a question answered, but its not a solution. Good luck peeps
He fell off from FNC and G2. And then goes to compete in 2nd tier league LFL I think? And still could not win that tournament. He had a big hiatus then came to T1A this year @@crystalvulpix20
@@crystalvulpix20 he spent his life in fnatic, then went to G2 in 2021 and his career was never the same. he became more passive in game, lost many important games and was the target of drama with rumors of teammates not liking him in and out of game
I guess that explains why people had such issues working with him in the past, calling him passive aggressive and such. He's actually just not good with people.
I have the sensation that there is a high percentage of people inside the autism spectrum in pro players, i've been told that between programmers is high, I just assumed that with pro players is too. I dream of a radical change of the work envoirment so neurodivergent people can work safely with neurotipicals people. Both will gain from that.
The informations actually are not completely correct. There still ist the Asperger Diagnosis, and it is still used in the medical context and the ICD10 Coding system (F84.5). The thing is, that the common ppl started to think that every autistic person has Asperger. That’s why they started to use the term high functioning autism, to clarify that it’s not all the same. But in a medical context many still use the term Asperger. All though even if high functioning autism is used as a term for Asperger not every Asperger is really “high functioning” there are many Aspergers with an average or below average intelligence who need a person by there side to get the basics of there life done.
Rekkles pointed out the fact he would be feeling bad if someone use some sort of title for this and you went exactly there for clickbait, disapointing !
iirc, Thooorin is also known to have Asperger syndrome. The difference is that Rekkles is obsessed to win the games while Thoorin is obsessed with Rekkles
interesting to hear to sb thinks his life is over after he gets his diagnosis. BECAUSE getting the diagnosis does not change anything at first. It just helps u to understand how u work and how ur brain works and u get some skills and shit that helps u to improve urself and live with that a little better. If u get the diagnosis u just gave it a name and therapists do know better how to help u, BUT u already hat the diagnosis ...I mean u just found out now but u lived with it even before u got it labeled by a doctor. And tbh a lot of people I know have some sort of diagnosis, even I would if I would go to a psychologist :P (I guess not the same diagnosis as Rekkless tho)
Now I'm even more convince that 99% of the successful pro players with crazy mechanics are on the spectrum. This also make the "He has autism, that's why he can stare at the floor for so long" joke age like wine
Rekkles is a nice guy and maybe i meet next time cuz Im im the TOP Lee sin players in our Region but i have to tell him that he sucks as Supp and wanna see him playing ADC "he doesnt suck" as supp" ... cuz as a Jungler Flank Rekkles is very smooth NOT cuz of his champion pool ... he is Calm and he wait .... Some Pro players nowdays trying making plays and its pretty frustrating when someone fail .. who have no window for mistakes ... u dont wanna do mistakes at high Elo or Pro, just cuz 1 guy feels like RANDOM EGO stuff ingame. I always Like playing with or against Rekkles in SOLO .. same as Caps
Autism is a spectrum, it means that every person in the world has ''some'' sort of it, its just that people diagnosed with Autism has tendencies that are ''more difficult'' or ''more shown'' So its generally just not understood
Very proud of our boy Rekkles.
Respect to chat for aggressively showing love to rekkles and massive respect to Caedrel for fostering such an understanding community when it matters

makes so much sense why i vibe with rekkles now.. :D great autism buddies :)
Respect for Rekkles.
Bro do we all have autism then... this describes so many people
thanks to this video i came across the topic and i know now why my life went how it went. i was trying to figure out what's wrong with me for over 20 years now.
i also assume i have not just autism but also ADHD, it's actually very common, theres different research about it, which indicates that between 30% and 80% of people with autism also have ADHD.
as a child i was actually at the doctor for autism but back then i didn't make the cut to get the diagnosis.
it makes me sad, thinking about all the people that miss a diagnosis. as i think just being aware of the conditions you have unique to you can have a huge positive impact on your life.
Chat gpt history Aware
I also have autism and its that im that much else of person then others and at the end lets accept ourselves like we are!
I was once diagnosed with cronical deppresion in the exact moment when doctor told me that, I was feeling better. Then with therapy miracle happened - I started to feel my breathing better, pollen alergy diesapear, i stop biting my nails ( just one of positive efects 😅)...
In short i except myself who I am and that i need help like everyone i this world.
If you feel that way always speak to people who are close to you and then proced with therapy on profesionall lvl if needed.
Kudos for saying that mama, for spilling
Strong shit rekkles!!!
I studied psychology so i know all about the spectrum.
Just knowing how to work with it and accepting who you are will make your life a lot more worth living!
I would not have thought that you are on the spectrum since you can show emotion and you are able to articulate properly which is common on the spectrum.
much love my dude!
my goat
Aspergers here too, i completely follow his reasoning. Very similar experience
He's always going to be the GOAT 👑
Dang. I was told both by psychiatrist and one friend on spectrum that I may HFA due to certain traits. I guess I should check myself as well.
HE DID A WECHSLER.
Its a big deal. Good on him for accepting it. Thats the first issue. But getting specific help in the specific way.... its nothing but good.
I genuinely feel so bad for him for blacking out his tats. Hes going to regret it and there is no way back.
I am borderline and ocd. I did a wechsler a couple years ago. I am not autistic at all; i *swore* i was. The summary is that getting help is key. Its paramount. Its getting a question answered, but its not a solution. Good luck peeps
I cant focus, he is so pretty
Vi älskar dig Rekkles
we love you rekkles
Me, following leage for 10+ years no, Rekkles will forever be my n1 adc.
That is why Rekkles the is greatest EU LCS/LEC player of all time
this actually explains a lot about his career post 2020
what happened in his career? I’m a newer casual watcher so I’ve only seen rekkles in T1a
He fell off from FNC and G2. And then goes to compete in 2nd tier league LFL I think? And still could not win that tournament. He had a big hiatus then came to T1A this year
@@crystalvulpix20
@@crystalvulpix20 he spent his life in fnatic, then went to G2 in 2021 and his career was never the same. he became more passive in game, lost many important games and was the target of drama with rumors of teammates not liking him in and out of game
Caedrel is the champ Twitch.
Ideally gamers will now stop using "autism" as a negative description of bad plays.
I guess that explains why people had such issues working with him in the past, calling him passive aggressive and such. He's actually just not good with people.
jokes aside.. I love both of you
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yay autistic friend!
Maybe that's why Thorim hates rekkles so much, because he sees himself in him
❤❤❤
I have the sensation that there is a high percentage of people inside the autism spectrum in pro players, i've been told that between programmers is high, I just assumed that with pro players is too. I dream of a radical change of the work envoirment so neurodivergent people can work safely with neurotipicals people. Both will gain from that.

The informations actually are not completely correct. There still ist the Asperger Diagnosis, and it is still used in the medical context and the ICD10 Coding system (F84.5). The thing is, that the common ppl started to think that every autistic person has Asperger. That’s why they started to use the term high functioning autism, to clarify that it’s not all the same. But in a medical context many still use the term Asperger. All though even if high functioning autism is used as a term for Asperger not every Asperger is really “high functioning” there are many Aspergers with an average or below average intelligence who need a person by there side to get the basics of there life done.
I mean after playinng league for that many years , we all kinda are
Were on the spectrum guys.
listening to this I might have autism too ..
❤
awesome to watch as someone who also has aspergers
Rekkles pointed out the fact he would be feeling bad if someone use some sort of title for this and you went exactly there for clickbait, disapointing !
That's the same diagnosis Dantes has
Reckless slay
iirc, Thooorin is also known to have Asperger syndrome. The difference is that Rekkles is obsessed to win the games while Thoorin is obsessed with Rekkles
interesting to hear to sb thinks his life is over after he gets his diagnosis. BECAUSE getting the diagnosis does not change anything at first. It just helps u to understand how u work and how ur brain works and u get some skills and shit that helps u to improve urself and live with that a little better. If u get the diagnosis u just gave it a name and therapists do know better how to help u, BUT u already hat the diagnosis ...I mean u just found out now but u lived with it even before u got it labeled by a doctor. And tbh a lot of people I know have some sort of diagnosis, even I would if I would go to a psychologist :P (I guess not the same diagnosis as Rekkless tho)
rekkles made me realize that i might have hfa lmao
Tbh, probably a lot of LCS players will be on the spectrum highly functioning.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Now I'm even more convince that 99% of the successful pro players with crazy mechanics are on the spectrum. This also make the "He has autism, that's why he can stare at the floor for so long" joke age like wine
its off topic but I have to say this: Rekkless just looks like a 12/10. Banger style imo :D
am i supposed to take this seriously lmfao
Wait, he is acoustic?
hes not a guitar...
@@placebosaw3342 🤣🤣
Rekkles is a nice guy and maybe i meet next time cuz Im im the TOP Lee sin players in our Region but i have to tell him that he sucks as Supp and wanna see him playing ADC "he doesnt suck" as supp" ... cuz as a Jungler Flank Rekkles is very smooth NOT cuz of his champion pool ... he is Calm and he wait .... Some Pro players nowdays trying making plays and its pretty frustrating when someone fail .. who have no window for mistakes ... u dont wanna do mistakes at high Elo or Pro, just cuz 1 guy feels like RANDOM EGO stuff ingame. I always Like playing with or against Rekkles in SOLO .. same as Caps
It's basically Sheldon from BBT
Bruh.... after hearing rekkless, i think i might have autism as well
My social skill are just all time low
There are plenty of reasons for bad social skills that are not autism, especially in this day and age
Autism is a spectrum, it means that every person in the world has ''some'' sort of it, its just that people diagnosed with Autism has tendencies that are ''more difficult'' or ''more shown'' So its generally just not understood
