They all want anxiety until it makes it so they cant leave their room, not even to eat or shower. They all want depression until it sends them to the hospital. They all want adhd until they cant even listen to their loved talking without zoning out. Wait, why do they want these???
no father figure edit: im not getting rid of this message but i think that saying no father figure to these people is cruel to people who actually dont have a father present in their life, these people are just histrionic
Literally, like having a disorder is cool until you can't do basic functions or clean yourself, eat properly, shower, go to public places, not freak out when someone greets you, etc. Because if it gets do that point, you're weird and disgusting and cast out from society.
Im a gen X man and i remember when i was in my teens and 20s, we would do ANYTHING to HIDE our depression, adhd, or any affliction you had. Now these kids try soooo hard to pretend to have every problem under the sun cuz they think it makes them a special snowflake. WTF?
@@matthewhummel1572Middle ground. Not being able to show your weakness make you weak. The strong are comfortable with their imperfections. This doesn't mean you make commercials and advertise it for attention, like Gen Z
@@themacocko6311 perhaps I spoke less clearly than I intended. By no means do I advocate bottling it up until it shows up as a heart attack in your 40’s, but you have to know when to hit the release valve.
@@themacocko6311 it wasn't that, there was an expectation of respecting other people's boundaries... and not being a public nuisance. The self diagnosis crowd (as a movement) started as less of an attention seeking crowd than a sociopolitical one... largely as a pseudo-feminist movement to bring attention to under diagnosed females by cosplaying them and becoming their 'voice' -- which got swept up and weaponized by the privilege stack. You'd find this crowd, nearly all girls, starting echo chambers on livejournal. Some remnants remain... it went into overdrive with tumblr and in particular, the public recognition of Temple Grandin.. which in the fandom of, became code for secret genius without having to apply oneself. As a movement, they would take on many autistic organizations as well as targeting the families of a few reality docu series about autism - offended at those showcasing severe autism under the guise of social justice politics, this of course, extended to other mental health condtions as well as trans (though, trans folly was largely a former president turning it into an issue against the greater trans community's wishes, which ended up overwriting the medical standard and the old guard being called gate keepers, you can find some of those remnants on youtube, where many of these trans trenders were quite hostile to actual trans people as well.) -- you see it happen with many demographics, not just mental health, the co-opting of identities, and with dysfunctionally, often from the crowd screaming about appropriation the most... they end up becoming the faces of said conditions and movements, which causes more conflict and spreads greater ignorance to a largely unknowing public. But there's always being an discomfort with mental health... much of the public thinks of care as something out of victorian bedlam, they feel sympathy for the fictional protagonist of Clockwork Orange despite he was a violent sexual predator. He also has garnered a sense of hero worship for some. Mental health issues with children is even worse... in how lightly the public takes it and is conned into believing they need to provide safe spaces, let them act like Helen Keller before she was forced to adapt to the rest of society. It's also, mental health conditions have become permanent in this age... badges of honor, when they used to be something that many people could recover from or even outgrow. Now to be diagnosed as a child is have a lifelong label, largely medical fashion, and never learning to cope with their disability or adapt to the world... permanent victimhood... that is chronically abused and misappropriated to create chaos and conflict, to excuse bad behavior.
You hid it because people didn't coddle you and give you a bunch of attention for it. They told you to get over it and that everyone has problems. And guess what... most of you did get over it. People will engage in whichever behaviors yield the highest reward, and avoid the ones that don't
Tiktokers have broken new ground, they call these irregular dissociations "emotions". These include the symptoms of DID, where you have different feelings depending on your environment and recent social interactions. Truly incredible
I feel a little bad for them because these people need some serious attention and appearantly pretending to have disorders gets them that kind attention and a way for them to feel at comfort. Prehaps it is fatherless behaviour
I recently found out that my little steap sister was asking me a lot about my mental disorders only to find she was useing the information so she can fake one online more accurately/believably. It's rediclous and kinda heart wrenching at the same time. Hallucinating randomly or under stress is *not* fun nor quirky. Id *gladly* give my condition to one of these angsty kids an see just how fast they change their minds.
Okay, I’m sorry but if I were you, I would’ve told her mom and slapped her face (depends if she’s 15 and you’re older, definitely wouldn’t slap a 10 year old who don’t know better). I hope you do well with your conditions!
@@plmdea Trust me I wanted to too! But her mother is passed an her Dad my steap Dad can't do anything cuz she screams she's going to kill herself and blame him. I can't say anything cuz "I'm not family". I wish I could figure out why she feels she needs to fake disorders worse then she's got. As an adult now 18 we sadly now can't tell her to do much. But I did the next best thing, I told her two best friends who's she's living with an can't tell to screw off cuz then she's homeless. I found out that she's living with them fir free so long as she continues to see their family therapist and look for a job. I sent all four years of conversations we had had (back when she liked me, or at least thought she did) to them an a few tictoc clips of her doing said fake disorder BS. They have talked to her about it but as she's out if house now an an adult I don't have much more to say. I feel for her freinds, they are a saint.
I am autistic, I stim when i am in distress which has literally been a handful of times. When i was diagnosed with cancer, when I lost my daughter and when my mum died last week, i manicly rock myself and walk in a circle. It's not something i do once or twice a week. I maybe flap one hand when i am over excited which is rare too because nothing really over excites me anymore getting a bit old for exciting things.
I was inbred. So yeah... lol. I rub my nose violently a lot when im overwhelmed but ive hated it my whole life cause i got made fun of for it as a kid and by girlfriends as a adult. I didnt really feel okay about it till my wife helped me realise its not really all that crazy.
I was 1nbred so yeah... lol. My only "tick" all throughout my life was i started this habit of rubbing my nose violently when im excited. I hated it though cause kids made fun of me for it, and so did girlfriends when i became a adult. It wasnt till my wife who helped me realize it wasnt all that crazy that I would accept it.
I am pretty sure this person has never EVER met an 8 year in real life. That was an adult pretending to be a 3 year old. They got their ages totally mixed up. If I had an 8 year old that acted like that I'd be heavily concerned
literally. my brother is 8 and doesn’t act like that at all, he’s way more mature than what that person was tryna do lol idk what they thought they did but man😂
same, and hell, has she even been 8 before? I was 8 years old a long time ago, but I acted nothing like that, neither did any of my siblings, schoolmates, or kids that I’ve baby sat
Exactly. Even the talking. Only toddlers speak with that tone because they still don't control their breath while speaking. That's why in pre school they are teaching to sing a lot, so they can control it. Furthermore, the kissing plushies...yep, that how an adult would portrait a cute kid, without realising they can play no so cute games.
As an Aspie myself, I don't even like calling my own behaviors stimming, 'cause it makes them sound special when they're really not. I might walk in circles a lot or clap my hands repeatedly when I'm excited, or rock my chair or bounce my leg when bored, but I still have control over them, I just choose to let them happen when I don't need not to. I'm not some zoo animal, and I don't wanna draw unnecessary attention on me, I just wanna be treated like anyone else. I would HATE being filmed doing that, nor could I knowingly do it in front of a camera.
yeah, I will never understand the people who film it, personally when I stim it embarrasses me beyond comprehension. I could never just casually post it
I never understood why they think stimming is this dumbass jumping around bs I stim by pacing it the only way I can think effectively without speaking my thoughts out loud
I feel the same way! Mine aren’t anything special, it’s just swaying back and forth and lip chewing and foot tapping mostly. It’s nothing to be filmed and the way people “stim” on camera is so forced
@@anarchyalien2279 I do all those things, they tried to diagnose me with autism also, tbh I'm convinced at this point that "autism" is just a label for "hard to control and unpredictable"
@Corey Brown Gaming It's not exactly a sign by itself, anybody can bounce their leg, you can't say anything for certain just from that. But it does fall into the "repetitive behavior" category, so it can become cause for suspicion if someone displays an awful lot of these signs. Even then, it's probably better not to think anything of it unless you notice other types of signs or your family has a history of autism.
Okay so... I'm 35 years old this year. I have spent over 3 full years in lock-down psychiatric facilities. My illness ruined my military career (I was in the Air Force), goten myself and my family involved in some very risky and dangerous situations, and ruined every romantic relationship I have tried to be a part of. Shit like this feels like a slap in the face to people really suffering, and makes it so much harder for getting help to people that are actually diagnosed... These kids should be ashamed of themselves.
I have OCD, ADD/ADHD, IED, C-PTSD, PTSD, anxiety, severe depression, schizophrenia, schizo-effective disorder, suicidal ideation, anti-social tendencies, agoraphobia. I was diagnosed by a psychiatric team with my first mental illness in June of 1996 when I was 6 years old
As someone who genuinely has DID (diagnosed by a professional, alongside PTSD and depersonalization-derealization disorder), this is not how we work AT ALL and it's absolutely disgusting because we're already demonized in some media. I can't say the same for every other person with DID, but I went to a special group where people with DID met up and we all have very similar experiences which are NOTHING like the crap these kids are pulling. DID comes from extreme childhood trauma (usually SA, like it was for me). According to one of my therapists it's usually when our childhood brains are finalizing our personality but the trauma doesn't allow our brains to do that. Instead, it takes different aspects of our personality and separates them in our minds. Or, at least, that's what I remember my therapist saying I wasn't totally paying attention. Although the majority of us do have a "child part", it's not really like that one video. A lot of times it's like a snapshot of how we were back when our personalities fragmented. The child part is often surprisingly mature, it just has a more childlike nature. What makes me especially mad that people are pretending to have this is because the "child alter" is usually the "victim part" (from when we were abused) and not just a cutesy person that cuddles with stuffed animals. They also often showcase an alter that's edgy/emo/evil/etc. Many of us have a part that can be "mean" but it is what's known as a "protector part/alter". It is the alter that fights back when we feel threatened because we couldn't fight back when we were being abused. There's something called a "Karpman drama triangle" that my therapist (and apparently a lot of other therapists) use to describe what sometimes happens with alters. There are three roles in a dysfunctional relationship: "Persecutor", "Victim", and "Rescuer". A lot of alters follow the karpman drama triangle to mirror/mimic the abuse because of trauma. We often have a persecutor part that has held a lot of our anger and takes it out on others. For me, I couldn't control this alter and I often couldn't even remember what happened (a blank in my memory) and people would tell me that I stood up straighter, got this look in my eyes they'd never seen before, and was just plain cruel. Usually it was verbal but apparently I did attack my sister and mom once when I was in a situation I felt threatened in. The victim part is often the childlike part taking the place of our younger selves. It is NOT an actual child. For me, this is the one alter I have not integrated with yet, but I don't have a strong desire to do so. For me, she is more energetic, has a higher voice, and really likes cute things. The rescuer part is one I never really had, which may be because I had no rescuer (I ended up rescuing myself), but I often had other alters that didn't fit any of the other categories, if that makes sense. Our alters are not completely different people. They are simply fragments of our personality/identity that are separated from us. I can be childlike without switching to my childlike alter. I can be rude without switching to my persecutor part. My therapist (and all the other people of the group's therapists) encourages us to "integrate" our parts. We do our best to bring all the parts into one as we heal. Sorry for the essay. I realize many people have different experiences with DID (one girl in the group was COMPLETELY different from the way I worked) but this is simply mine and what I remember one of my therapists saying. It's not fun to live with at all. I hurt many people that I do not remember even hurting, I had to go to a mental hospital for 6 months because of how it affected me, and I had so much going on in my mind that I thought I was going insane. Don't use DID to be quirky and don't self-diagnose yourself with it. It may seem "cool" but it's really not. I would do just about anything to erase what happened to me and get rid of all the side effects that came along with the aftermath.
If you want to see a good exploration of DID, play Xenogears. It's a great game and has one of the best and most accurate portrayals of DID I've seen in any media. It's also a major part of the story, not just some obscure side quest character. I highly recommend it, but do be warned the game is infamously hard to find. You can only find it physically on PS1, (playable on a backwards compatible PS2 or PS3) the PS3 PSN, or via emulation. I may also be part of the revamped PS+ mirroring Xbox's game pass but IDK.
Just wait for that one person that says that you're lying or whatever cos they have DID. This happened to me recently on another channel. Because I also stated that these alters can't just be made up on the spot as a adult and the condition develops in childhood. So fictive alters based on characters they've seen on a TV show recently and want to mimic isn't DID, its just cosplay and its faking alters. I only know I have this condition because others was scared of me cos I had no control over it. Now i have better control over myself and we are working together. I've never tried to treat my alters like separate people they are a part of me i just need to gain better control.
@@Ian8Abbie I would like to read the information but school just got out and I dont want to read another essay, and I'm not saying their feelings are too long for me. It's completely understandable to write this much, and a TLDR is not much to ask for. I simply ask if someone could sum up the important parts so that it is easier for others and myself to read.
One of my closest friends had DID. They passed away. They never acted like these people. Also they were so tormented by their inner voice, and their system. Only a few people knew. It makes me angry to see people fake it.
So many people these days claim to have depression and some WANT to have it. Its a nightmare and anyone with true depression will want to get help ASAP.
@@juliannaferrell3225 same here, like she said that she's gonna take a break from messaging me since she got into a long distance relationship, and thought it'd be best for their relationship anyways last i heard from her was back in march didn't know where she lived so i couldn't go to her house and yeah, i miss her, and wonder what would've happened if she never got into a relationship in the first place
i agree, but like i been saying actually a lot of these folks are in the millennial crowds and some even in the younger of the genX crowd, this has been a problem since before tiktok, it was goign on mostly with the genX crowd since the late 90s and early 2000s by way of bloggers and simple video clips, then when youtube came about, it was going on there especially once amanda baggs and her ''cult following'' started posting vids, no matter which gen. you belong to, this shit is a problem, and it has done nothing but make a mockery of actual disabled and ill people: AND it adds to the challenge of anyone who is a ''self advocate' because with all this crap, its that much harder to be believed and taken seriously at any real value and weight because its been a long standing but worsening issue with people thinking that if you can explain your disabilities / disorder, you are not that disabled'' all the while these clowns like to show off '' just how disabled they are.
They know what their doing, they are attention seeking grifters, it's easy to dismiss these people as fools and idiots, but they are fully aware of the sociopolitical environment they find themselves in and are entirely taking advantage of it. They are ruthless, not fools.
If they're all having problems then it's a problem with every child being born rn so must be a conspiracy the doctors aren't talking to us about. 🤣 maybe new health care for new mothers making children sick instead of healthy. 🤷🏻♀️🤣🙈 this is obviously sarcasm cos it's obviously improved over the years.
I'm a baby boomer... Love that someone is calling out people who fake disorders. I don't care what generation they are... I think it's insulting to the people who really have the disorder. I guess that's this generation's form of rebellion
As someone with PTSD, it isn't fun to have a "trigger" in public, which they never seem to have. It's embarrassing and so terrifying. Trying to hold everything together to not embarrass myself or those I'm with while trying to feel safe.
Exactly! I hate reacting in public or needing to go breathe because of something triggering my PTSD. Especially since a couple of my triggers are very common things. 😅
As someone with ADHD, all this stimming shown is the most fakest stuff ever. It would look more like running around and jumping and saying stupid stuff, at least for me.
people with adhd dont stim edit: im sorry guys, i did not know that fidgeting counts. as stimming. i admit i am wrong. however, you guys do not need to tell me to do research as i have adhd.
well, yeah. that look stupid. whenever people said stimming. for me, i think it more kid imagine thing in their own world. well that for me though i dont have any mental disorder. tell me if im wrong
i’m autistic (medically diagnosed for clarification) & seeing people pretend to be like me makes me feel icky & gross. I absolutely wish I could be normal & fit in.
Me too, tho I think I might have gotten misdiagnosed and I actually have ADHD. But these tiktoks are absolutely cringeworthy. I don't get why people wanna have meltdowns for fun 💀 like what. They're horrifying and the day is ruined after having one. I do that aggressive stim like swinging arms but it's when I'm about to have a meltdown so it looks anxiety inducing to stim like that.
Same.. I got diagnosed around a few years ago and it explains a lot why you couldn't understand or vibe with a lot of people, but more often than not I never wished to have it or saw it as a funny and exciting thing. It's exhausting and annoying to see how People that don't get enough attention appereantly overact and just mimic what they hear and see in another TikToks.
When I was diagnosed with bipolar, I fought against the diagnosis with everything I had. I went back through every question my psychiatrist had. Over and over, I kept telling her she was wrong. It was something that hit me hard. My grandma had bipolar, I saw what it did to her. Now I have come to place of acceptance with it. I don't understand people who want to fake disorders. You are not special. I am not special. I am sick. There is a difference.
I am so glad you accepted your diagnosis and I hope you are getting the help you need. Bipolar is just one aspect of who you are, it doesn't define you 💕
As someone with bpd as well, I don't see why anyone would want this. People don't understand that alot of people who do horrible things have it, and without medication its hard not to hurt the people I love.
As an autistic guy, it irks me when people act like autism is some kind of quirk. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s when I was a kid, and it has always had a negative impact on my life. My autism causes me to have no social skills, I can hardly function like a normal person, and people treat me like a creep just because I’m autistic. Looks like these people watched movies and TV shows about how “gifted” autistic people are, like “The Good Doctor”.
as someone who age regresses, it's a way to cope with trauma (especially childhood trauma) and is in NO WAY sexual. i personally don't understand why someone would post themselves regressing though. Edit: just to clarify I am talking solely about age regression by itself, not people who use it to infantilize other neurological disorders.
@@Jake42O agreed ! regressing and acting like a child is not therapy, or coping, its avoiding, real therapy is about coping, , overcoming and moving forward
If I could give up all the bad memories, all the social issues, all the hopeless nights, just to be normal like everyone else, I would do anything. I would gladly give one of these kids all of my problems so they could see that this is no fun role play game.
As a mother to none-verbal autistic twins, it really unsettles me that people would fake autism. I see my boys & how their world works, the troubles & issues they face day-to-day that the rest of us take for granted. I’m aware how different life is going to be for them & the things they won’t get to do or experience due to their complex needs or issues. There’s been many heartbreaks over this diagnosis. I have to fit into their world, most of our world isn’t accommodating for them & their needs (lack of disability facilities, quiet areas & safe spaces to self-regulate during a meltdown episode, allocated SEN sessions/less crowds & noise). I actually wish they had a different life, for themselves. It’s not a quirky trend. And here you have people wanting that?! No, they just want the ‘cute’ parts (the stims) which is only a minor part of autism. I never see them sharing the painful, overwhelming, exhausting, meltdown parts. In other news : Most autistic stims are more subtle, hand flapping & ear flicking are really common. It is extremely common for girls to mask autism too, so females tend to not outwardly stim, they usually get diagnosed later in life because of hiding it so well. To stim as hard as these girls, usually you would be able to tell they’re autistic without being *told* they’re autistic. It would be noticeable.
I have little brother with it and ticks me off seeing this. Makes me want to shave these fakers heads and say if u want to fake being autistic , may as well fake cancer
My mother never suspected of me being autistic until the school psychologist told her. I was diagnosed at 16 years old (I'm now 17) and she was surprised by the news, since she thought my actions/way of communication were because of me having adhd.
I'm autistic woman, and I've always being autistic. After preschool, I was bullied. A lot, and just because I stood out from the crowd. I was even mislabeled as a troublemaker, and I had to change the school. And now, I see youngsters pretending to be autistic to get more views! It's disgusting and makes me feel invalidated, and not mentioning about the problems inside my family going on right now!
There has been a change to the definition and Asperger's is on the spectrum instead of a separate diagnosis, which even further clouds things. In the olden times there were several diagnoses and because of this my nephew who has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, my sister can seem like a good parent and skip over that diagnosis and say "he has autism" because the symptoms overlapped...
I have autism myself even though it was pdd-nos. I don’t experience anything like stimming as an adult, I may have as a child but I’m not sure I would have to ask my mother. Though the main problems I experience with ias an adult is emotionally instability, unable to have proper attachments and issues With aggression and this is not all the fault of the pdd-nos because I also was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD as a child and I never got treatment for ODD and grew up in the proper conditions for the ODD to fester
As someone who has autism, and goes to a school for autistic children. I can say that all of the behaviors that these idiots display are NOT how we are. Some of us are lower functioning and can show some of these behaviors, but not on this level.
lower functioning is a derogatory term. id suggest wording it differently. (im diagnosd at 7) not mad, just saying allistics use these terms to degrade us. when someone says “lower functioning” it auto implies they’re worth less than “high functioning”. both of these terms are harmful btw.
It just means you aren’t verbal and you need more support, there’s no implication of worth. It means we can’t work in a particular way. That’s it, I’ve heard a hell of a lot worse
@@rumplestiltskinhoe lower functioning is not a derogatory term… it’s the literal term. Lower functioning does not imply better than high functioning they are literally just labels for how you function in society. Just because a few airheads used it in a negative context doesn’t mean it is a negative term or harmful. There are people who function better and worse with certain disorders. I’m not sure why that’s offensive to you.
Regular people: my pronouns are (pronouns), and my sexuality is (sexuality). These brain-deficient book-chewers: hI mY pRoNoUnS aRe human/red/sus/yellow/worm, mY sExUaLiTY iS mEgAlOvAnIa Like, jesus christ. This is actually scary because these people will be in positions of power one day, and who knows what these TV-munchers will do next? Also, please do not make up pronouns and sexualities and disorders. Trans people are okay, nonbinary people are okay, but for the love of god, you better be kidding when you say you're "dreamgender". TL;DR: do not make sexualities up for attention unlike these lamp-punchers
@@ashleycd6487 And the funny thing is, the more they "fight against labeling" with their invented stuff, the more they support it by actually adding more tags and labels
Seems like they have all those labels to justify their cringe-inducing behavior. Their mindset is probably something like "You can't make fun of me for it, because I'm [insert label here]!"
Hi, I know this was only intended to bash on people who like “make up” sexualities like dreamsexual and shit, but this kind of came off as insensitive and kind of rude. People can use lots of different pronouns and they don’t have to be commonly used words in order to be valid pronouns. I know neopronouns are confusing but some people use them! And the sexuality thing, it comes off as if you’re saying that being lgbtq+ is a trend which is a very homophobic/transpobic concept to believe. I do acknowledge that people will make up genders and sexualities but that’s kind of all anything is, made up. If I were you I would recommend getting rid of the pronouns and sexualities part but I guess it’s up to you. I just wanted to say this, I hope I didn’t come off as rude. Have a nice day :)
@@maggiem3807 I'm sorry if my comment offended you, it was no the point at all, but I'll stay with what I said because even if some people truly stand and recognize their sexual orientation and identity, I feel that for every one person that does there are 10 that either collect them as "labels" to feel special or "unique", which actually ends up defeating the purpose of all sexualities being equal and damaging the reputation of people that actually take seriously their sexual identity and orientation. The comment is not making fun of sexual identities being bad (the ones that make sense at least, not the chocosexual or dreamsexual stuff), but is making fun of the clowns that just pile them up to decorate their TikTok bios like Christmas lights
I’m now 21, and when I was a preteen (10-12) I wanted badly to have a mental disorder. I wanted it since I grew up in an environment of neglect and lack of attention, and I felt like that would grant me the attention and love I craved. Today, I am very ashamed of that, and I’m happy that I’m healthy. But these people, as embarrassing and ungrateful as they may be, are probably just seeking attention and that’s the only way they know how to do it. Not justifying it, and I wish everyone can be thankful for the lives they have and not fake struggles, but just explaining this phenomenon from a different POV.
There is hope for you because you're honest with yourself and others. I'm proud of you. Keep focusing on doing things to develop your personality, educate yourself, do volunteer work and go to therapy. You've got this! ❤
@@fagiolification11 ''attention seeking disorder'' is a made up name. Any trauma doesn't automatically into a mental issue nor having troubles which are valid doesn't mean necessarily a personality disorder. Not that ''attention seeking disorder'' is disorder that exist in the first place. You can't just invented whatever and place the word disorder behind it. Those terms for legitimate mental issues are determined by a panel of medical experts are comprised into the DSM-V for mental deseases. What this person is describing here is having an Anxious Attachement style issue from experiencing neglect as a child and coping in an unhealthy way. And now bc of that cope they seem to have a bit of an impostor syndrome.
Most of the time I don't even realize Ive started stimming until I'm already doing it (picking, messing with my hair, counting, sucking my thumb etc) I hate it and I definitely don't set up my camera then force it for attention. The amount of people with main character syndrome and clout chasing blows my mind 😂
I have diagnosed adhd, and its seen as something quirky and "different" what a lot of people don't understand is that you aren't given special attention in real life as you are online with adhd, usually just called annoying by classmates or have trouble focusing on shopping or buying new clothes, its just harder to focus on day to day activity's, and if I ever am focused I'm usually hooked in on something for days or hours, that's just my experience though and it is probably different for other people, thanks for reading though and have a great day 👍
I haven't really gotten the chance to diagnose it, but I do wanna make sure if I do or don't, just in case- I'm sorry if I sound attention seeking or something, but I'd just want to know what signs can be there for ADHD
"hooked in on something for days or hours" Ive had that happen before and it regularly lead to me well forgetting to eat,drink, and even sleep. Its basicly like if my mind had some kind of priority list, the moment something "grabs" me it shifts all other things down the list
I’ve had diagnosed OCD since I was 10, followed by anxiety and depression as I’ve grown older. I’m on constant medication and have to see professionals weekly. My disorders are something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. They aren’t fun, they aren’t quirky, and if I could have a chance at living life without any of them I would take that chance in a heartbeat. When I see other people in my generation faking these disorders, especially OCD, just to get clout online it makes me so angry. OCD isn’t just needing everything clean and tidy, OCD can be scared to leave your house in case anything bad happens to your family. It can be looping back around a route in your car because you’re convinced you knocked someone over. For me I once brushed my teeth 19 times in an evening because every time I finished brushing them it didn’t feel ‘right’ so I would have to go back and do it again because my house would burn down if I didn’t.
The worst part is, I dont even believe you for the simple fact that you are a young woman. Lol this is the damage this sort of behavior is causing. Its essentially punishing people for being sympathetic. Its like crocodile tears, instead of being sympathetic when a woman cries it just makes me instantly skeptical and wonder what their angle is since most of the time women have cried around me its been a manipulation tactic. Its like the boy who cried wolf but society wide, you cant take people seriously when they say they have OCD or other disorders anymore because its been faked ad nauseum. I'm fucking sick of it, I just want to feel again.
idk if its only me but when i put my hand on the wall there is a 50% chance my brain doesnt like how i put my hand on the wall and forces me to redo it
@Chris Tango Its not made up, being "a mess" is not a diagnosis, its a copout. Lol understanding your problems is the best way to fix them. The trouble is these days most people dont want to fix them. They want to wallow in despair and enjoy the power that our society gives to the weak and victimized. Its much easier than actually confronting a psychiatric disorder.
Agreed, but that's just if we're told we're acting out. At least I don't realize when I am myself, others have to remark on it, since it's not forced behaviour.
@@ecg3152 You’re probably fine, using movement to manage strong emotions is normal, and autistic people aren’t the only ones who stim. Plus, there’s a lot more that goes into an autism diagnosis. If you think you might have a mental disorder, please go to a specialist if/as soon as you can.
I remember someone I knew was pretending to have depression just for attention and as someone with ACTUAL depression, this hurt me. Seeing someone fake the pain that you go through. It’s rough
I’m technically manic depressive. Highs and lows. My lows are very dangerous and it should never be faked. It’s why I don’t own a gun. I don’t trust myself.
I completely understand, there’s this club in my school (gsa) and basically the people there fake disorders (like depression) it’s disgusting to see as someone who has dealt with it for years.
I love how these people make their “alters”(basically mimicking multi personality disorder) easily interchangeable upon one another. In reality in multi personality disorders will more than likely have a dominant personality that are almost always present or aware, people can’t choose what personality comes out. It’s not a character selection, a personality comes out based on the moment and from most research given, all personalities hate sharing a vessel.
One thing also is that with such disorder You are gonna have memory gaps so to know your personality or come back in a split second would cause u to be confused since it’s almost like blacking out Ik because I’ve been diagnosed
I was thinking this exact thing. People with DID don't get to choose which personality is present, it is typically because of a situation you are currently in.
Preach. I'm a preteen who truly struggles with this disorder. Half my day is practically missing, leading me to be less bright than peers. It's truly a curse.
disassociating is a very real thing and it makes me so angry watching people fake it for attention… i wouldn’t know the difference between someone faking autism or DID cuz i don’t have either but when it comes to disassociating it’s so evident these people are faking it. i disassociated for 3 months and it was the most terrifying 3 months of my life. these people suck
It's truly sad how badly these people feel they need attention, when there is just nothing interesting about them, and they harder they try to be interesting, the worse the cringe gets. They're simply addicted to that feeling of social validation, programmed to get it without caring if they deserve it. Seek validation from within, not from external sources, and avoid this trap.
I'm Gen Z and I fell and still sometimes fall into that trap. I've done stuff like cutting myself repeatedly because I thought it would make me more interesting or something, of course it doesn't tho. I do think children should be educated more on that topic and encouraged to share their true feelings. I am, as I'm writing this, unsure of why I'm even doing it, as in the end it is still some kind of wanting attention now is it. And that thought kinda makes it very hard to talk about feelings cause whenever I want to tell someone I don't feel well I'm not sure if I'm just looking for attention again; on the other hand people tell me to open up. It's kind of paradoxical and I always get stuck on that thought, not being able to solve it
@@Niemal It's not an easy thing to unlearn, but being aware of it is that all important first step. Everyone has talents and things that make them unique, but you have to have the peace, space, and sometimes the time to find what yours are. Life feels short to the young, but take it from a 40 year old, life is long, and you have plenty of time to develop your personality. I'm not nearly who I was at 20.
But they shouldn't resort to this even they're in that state. Other than being cringe they should know the effect and damage they cause to mental illness' reputation as a whole. because of posts like that spreading around our society, the ones who had the real deal are being neglected because of that fucking trend. Including me, i never got help because people around me believed that having a mental illness is a trend to gen z. It's miserable to live in this environment. heck, even my father blamed me for having a mental illness that i can't even control and cope with.
@@rinakakirishima6282 They're literally children though, we can't blame them too much for not knowing proper standards and boundaries. That's the core of their problem, is mental immaturity. I have to hope they'll just grow out of it.
I have high functioning autism, and I never knew that “stimming” was a thing. I thought it was something everyone did. For example, I wring my hands when I’m really excited, or when I’m stressed or nervous. And it’s not something I do consciously, so it’s not like I can set up my phone to record myself. It’s not dramatic, either. Which is why I figured it was common for everyone. I have a lot of struggles, specifically socially, and I really do wish I was “normal”. It’s not unbearable to live with by any means, but I do feel very isolated and wish I wasn’t this way.
@@lovesick3317 yeah, afaik there is research that suggests most people do in fact stim, but non-autistic people usually have less noticeable stims and might not feel the need to stim as much
@@Kae_Duxky Exactly. I mostly just have my arms at my side and fling my hands back and forth. Sort of looks like I’m shaking them because they’ve become numb and I’m trying to get feeling back into them. Still, I never sit there and plan on doing it, it just happens. Someone at work actually noticed me doing it, and asked if my hand was hurt, and I just kind of laughed and said I was restless. 😂
Its all fun and games to them until they realize that the voices dont stop for you to make lunch, or the episodes dont stop just so you can have a nice time with your friends. People live with these disorders 24/7 and power through them. [ Keep in mind that for many people there can be short or long(ish) times of bliss where you arent as effected by it. ]
I have a permanent allergy, im almost always sneezing and always blowing my nose, I hate it, take at least half an hour to fall asleep, and I agree with you about the moments of bliss thing, of course my case isnt as serious, its frustrating, but I cant imagine how it would be with actual, serious disorders
*I’m epileptic, and that’s like me having the camera ready to film a seizure. (I have no clue when one’s coming!)* I have complex partial seizures, so my brain shuts off but my body keeps going. The most I do during a seizure is ether walk up to someone I know, or call my hubby during it. And honestly, *I don’t even know I’m doing it!* I’ll end up in bed, and my hubby will tell me I had a seizure.
@jaypritchett6846 That sounds scary, I'm epileptic too but it's generalised; so when I'm doing a seizure, I'm unconscious. I don't know what I'm doing during this moment but I would love to see what happened! Take care!
@@yuwna *I know!* People ask me what they look like when I’m having one. Honestly, I can’t answer them because I’ve never seen myself have one! 🙄 lol If they wanna know what it actually looks like, they’d have to ask my hubby or a family member lol
@@ZennonTheOne the first time I had one in front of my mother-in-law she was scared and called my hubby. She’s been told what to do before, but she’s never actually _seen_ one. So, my hubby had to what to do again. (Which isn’t hard. Sit me down, wait till I come out of it, then lay me in bed to take a nap) But for me, in my head, I can’t control myself/body so I’m scared and don’t feel good. I think that’s why usually I unconsciously call my hubby while I’m having one.
Thank you for including " The PizzaSystem". Not enough people call her out she's so obviously just look for attention. Her "joey" character is so damn offensive to people with real mental health issues.
Mental disorders aren’t quirky or fun. They are rough and very hard to deal with not just for the individual but also those around them. They are very hard to deal with and aren’t something to be romanticized. I have generalized anxiety and depression and when I’m not on my meds I get traits of bipolar. I’m not full out bipolar I just have a few symptoms when things get really bad but not enough to be diagnosed with the full disorder. It’s by no means fun. These people don’t understand what mental disorders truly are
As an autistic person (professionally diagnosed when I was 12) I would never stim in public bc EMBARRASSING when you’re 25 but me stimming can sometimes be me jumping around and flapping my arms looking like an absolute idiot. Stimming for me in lowkey shameful I don’t know why anyone wants to make it look like this cute thing
No matter the problem, looks like every disabled tries to look normal around others. I have a respiratory desease and have to endure that stifling sensation around people because breathing heavily, though alleviating the pain in the lungs, scares people away. Even my siblings are bothered by it ^^'
Exactly I get for educational purposes but I’m diagnosed (10) and I feel so bad bc I unfortunately have the very typical and stereotypical sims arms flapping extra. It’s so shameful because I feel just wrong and I hate it so much.
Yeah my family sometimes catches me stimming ( i kick pillows on my bed up into the air kinda like a cat) and it does not feel quirky, it feels embarrassing. Even though my family has told me that they find it more cute than anything and don't shame me I still feel shame about it
I was professionally diagnosed with Asperger’s when I was only 4, and it has made life hard for me sometimes. To see people making jokes about real disorders saddens me.
I learned this in my in my 1st year of being a psych major, is that people with DID formally called multiple personality disorder don't remember switching personalities, it's called dissociative amnesia, and yes even tasking food can cause a switch but some people aren't even aware they have alters and get lost in time, people with DID are often distressed and it's not fun for them. Also it is common to have a child alter, mostly from childhood trauma. Hope this adds information.
I think instead of calling it DID, they should rename it impersonating multiple "characters" who live in them like those tiny humans from the comedy "meet Dave".
@Davemike27 It's to give a better insight for those that don't know the actual issues that come with having stuff like DID. It's bad enough that mental disorders already have had a bad name for decades - these kids are not helping. That's why genuine info is good to see/read on.
Oh, and stimming, at least in my experience, isn’t always acting like a cracked up baboon! I bounce my leg. That’s it. And if I get especially overwhelmed, I start shaking my hands. That’s it. And I’m not saying bigger stims don’t exist
These guys apparently don't know what stimming is. I do shake my hands and jump a bit, but these aren't Autistic people. They are attention seekers, hoping for the approval and perks of being considered "disabled". Or am I wrong and it's a worse scenario?
As someone with autism, the fact people think it’s quirky is so disgusting and frustrating since now it’s hard for people who are on the spectrum to be believed since they don’t display the same behaviors as those on TikTok, this goes for most disorders too.
Erm actually I think it's hot (I am severely autistic and often have panic attacks purely because someone complimented me and I'm not sure whether they are Trying to kill me or if they are going to have sex with me and it ruined my entire life not getting a diagnosis faster than I have and multiple doctors now say I may actually have paranoia)
People think autism seems all tee hee funny person like funny thing but make fun of actual autistic people for having the "non pretty" traits like burnout and being overwhelmed by simple things
I have autism, and as a person who regularly stims these people on TikTok disgust me. I was diagnosed with Autism when I was only 4 and have lived basically my entire life with it. It has caused my near infinite pain and tramua, and still haunts me to this day. The fact that there's people out there who fake, fetishize, and infantize my horrible illness absolutely disgusts me. As for what my stims entailed, when I was younger (ages 5 to age 14) I would have these things called "episodes" where I would act out a TV episode in my head and verbalize the voice acting and sound effects whole using my hands as props to symbolize movement. While I was doing my "episodes" I became completely unaware of the world around me and became fully consumed in my fantasy TV show I was playing out. Episodes usually lasted at least an hour, sometimes more, and there were constantly ongoing arcs and storylines. When I got a bit older (10 to 14) I started adding more structure into my episodes, playing "imaginary Pokemon" with my brother which was basically us larping as Pokemon trainers with consistent rules and an ongoing story where we caught new Pokemon and tried to win every Pokemon league. I slowly stopped doing episodes as a got older as it was super weird to other people, starting with doing episodes fully in my head and then not at all. However, my more traditional stimming including moaning, speaking in gibberish, flailing my arms around, and contorting my body only happens when I get significantly stressed and tension builds up in my chest. I can try to resist it if I try hard enough both otherwise I can't control my stimms at all. It feels like my brain is fried and I can't process sentences properly. It's horrible. Otherwise I act completely normally outside of when I'm stressed if a bit awkward. As someone who stims myself, all these people are very clearly faking their stims. The girl with the black lipstick is probably the only really mentally ill one. She just seems completely insane and disturbed, possibly demon possessed. And people usually fake DID because they think it's "cool" or something. IDK the idea that multiple people live inside you and all share one body is a cool concept that a lot of media, even media aimed at kids, sensationalizes and glorifies. Only problem is that it exists in real life and is a serious mental disorder. So a lot of kids pretend they have DID so they can live out their fantasy of having themselves, their OCs, and even existing fictional characters all share the same body so they can roleplay as them. It's also used for gender exploration, so yeah. It's all just pretend roleplaying, these kids just put of a mask of "DID" to have their roleplaying have "legitimacy." Which is wrong since DID is a real thing and their game of pretend just serves to further make a joke out of DID and delegitimizes real mental illness.
I used to act like the games and until i realized I CRINGED FROM REALIZATION and not just it i started to avoid making friends they the actual thing is autism isnt some kind of WOWOWOWOEOWOEWOEOWOEOW thing where you swings your limbs its mainly social difficulties and poor emotional controls and unexpected behaviors that even autistic people doesnt feel it how i stim is most likely making music hitting stuff to make sounds and combining to make a music
As a zoomer I can confirm im not anything like them. I genuinely have autism and adhd and also ptsd and it sickens me to see people faking it Dude, it sucks. My PTSD stems from being emotionally abused in school by teachers and students and just hearing about the teachers name or someone telling what to do, someone even remotely acts like any teacher I just can’t do it. I leave the room and distract myself from it. Again, you don’t want it
As an autistic person myself this leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. A feeling I can’t ever explain but I just want people to stop using MY disorders for clout and attention. They don’t go through the same stuff I do on a daily basis and they don’t deserve that attention.
Seriously tho. I’m not saying autisim is bad. Paired with other disorders I have such as adhd and mesaphonia though life can get difficult. And to see people just taking the glory without the struggle hurts. Many people suffer every day from serious disorders. This part is only directed towards these disorder fakers. You are never going to be quirky or cute for faking disorders. It makes you look stupid so just stop.
As an autistic girl as well, it’s disgusting how the girl in the first tiktok over exaggerated stimming by jumping nonstop and rocking back and forth violently just for tiktok clout. There’s a lot of actual autistics on that app that would call people out like that, so at least there’s a minority of decent people in the platform. If these people who haven’t seen their dad since childbirth got a disorder for a month, they would have to go through being infantilized, ableism, and masking, and they would wish they were neurotypical again.
It's almost like not all autistic people are the same or something. That girl isnt faking. He had the literal definition of stims pulled up for you, a definition that does not invalidate her stims, and yall still call her a faker when she isn't.
"A feeling I can't ever explain but I just want people to stop using MY disorders for color and attention." I think you explained it pretty well on the surface. There are several other frustrations I think that they're just trampling the internet with: -It's appropriation of a disability -They want to glamorise and popularise the disability NOT for the disability, but for their own benefit -By stealing and glamorising YOUR disability, they prove themselves non-genuine and misrepresent the disability, often stigmatizing it -Even though it's painfully obvious to you, what they're doing, social constraints determine that you're the bad guy if you complain about it. -"Oohhh, you must be just like 'the good doctor' or 'Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory' " -It's the same principle with 'R U OK' day and all that other shit. Mainstream society would do better if it's leaders and great powers never put too much focus into one thing, but mainstream society can't fucking help itself as it throws a blanket response at an issue and then bathes in the praise that gets thrown at it for 'coming in to save the day'. Yet nothing changed. My point again. You have the words. My suggestion when we struggle to find exactly what to say it's too break it down into smaller pieces. It's the type of web that won't allow you to cut the strings, because they're all tangled together.
I am _so grateful_ that this kind of social media didn't exist when I was a cringe teen. All my insufferable bs is lost amongst friends, family and times void. If I had a video out there like any of these, I'd probably move to the wilderness and eat tree bark for the rest of my life.
very true! When I see my "on this day" on facebook from when I was a teen I cringe at random weird things I say that makes no sense and wonder who let me have internet access 🤣🤣
As an autistic person. People like this make me want to use roblox's reset feature on myself. My life was literally ruined by an entire schoolboard simply because I have autism.
One thing I’ve noticed with ppl who actually have did is that their alters will have different voices, it’s a pretty good way to tell if someone is faking it
Voice isn't the best way of telling really. Some tiktokers put in the effort into making different voices :/ What I would say is important is if said voices are consistent across all tiktoks. And I've also noticed that people with actual DID change body language fully too.
@@cilantroe tbh I think she's fake tho. Her body language was the exact same for every single alter. The same hand and shoulder movements when expressing their opinion about the taste. I feel like that's unrealistic if the person actually has did
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult (34) and I want to know just how anyone thought it involved ticking and twitching violently, and smacking yourself in the head. What it ACTUALLY is, is disorganisation, the inability to concentrate, struggling to finish tasks, forgetfulness and tuning out. It does make life a bit more challenging, yes. But ADHD sufferers actually thrive in many situations and are very competent in chaotic or creative environments and professions. It's monotony, processes and rules that drive us crazy, so we do tend to struggle in a society that revolves around those things. It takes a lot of discipline to do the small things everyone else seems capable of doing. But we are NOT sitting there smacking ourselves in the head. How insulting and what a joke.
Okay I see your point but to be fair I have ADHD and I have severe tics and that includes hitting the back of my head against a wall. It's not impossible for ADHD people to have tics and ones that hurt yourself but I've found in my experience it isn't as common as it is in other disorders
One day my sister started to f****** cry cuz she couldn't remember one Mom I just told her second ago these people are part of my own generation a making a mockery out of my and my sisters disorders and it orderly pisses me the f*** off
Can confirm. My worst part about ADHD isn’t even the regular symptoms, but it REALLY deeply bothers me that with ADHD despite being empathetic, my displayed affect and emotions don’t directly reflect my internal feelings. I think it’s caused misunderstanding. Also how accidentally interrupting and constantly apologizing has deeply ingrained in my personality now.
As some who was officially diagnosed with ADHD I hate people faking it to be quirky. Its not as fun as they think, and it's so hard trying to watch them try and fake having it.
Exactly I have ADHD as well plus severe manic depression, so I hit bottom low that then brings on these crazy manic episodes of both. And people don’t realize how excruciatingly painful mentally symptoms physically to even just try to get through your day with ADHD and depression and I get so mad because it’s like I’m glad you guys think it’s cute and funny but this is a real thing. And it really pisses me off sometimes.
I hate it, it causes me to procrastinate so much. Like now, for instance. I have a paper i have to write and I just can't bring myself to start it and am constantly getting distracted
@@Kris_szefI have ADHD myself and did this often enough to my brother who also has ADHD so I can feel your comment but he also did this often enough to me
I have ADD, otherwise known as ADHD and it doesn’t affect me that much considering I take medicine to help me focus, however I do procrastinate a lot of stuff
I once had the opportunity to temporarily be acquaintances with a person who had DID. I only met 3 of her alters and none of them were twitchy or acted anything like these people. I didn’t even know she had DID until she asked me what my name was and seemed like a completely different person after we met just a few days prior. To her it wasn’t a thing to brag about and extort for popularity. I never saw her switch but she always described it as mostly an unpleasant experience and that she’d never willingly want to switch especially if she was in the middle of doing essay research or having a discussion with someone. Even tho I wasn’t close with her (I only knew her for a little less than a month) and don’t really keep in touch with her, it makes me so irritated to see these people faking it because they create such a negative stigma around those who truly have it and might make them want to hide it due to embarrassment from how Emily from tiktok pretended to have 127 alters and all the mental illnesses known to man presents her fake DID
0:50 (READ THE WHOLE THING PROPERLY BEFORE COMMENTING) As a person who stims, shaking your hands & arms is a common way to stim. I usually shake my hands a lot when I’m really happy. Also people almost never stim in public. There is a thing called “masking” & that where autistic (also other nerodivergent people) people hide their autistic traits in public. That’s why you hardly see people stim in public. It’s a thing you usually do alone to express & deal with strong emotions. People will look at you weirdly or sometimes even bully you if you don’t mask. Edit: also stiming can be anything. It can be super casual like bouncing your leg. It can also be violently shaking your arms. Different people have different ways to stim. Edit 2: The person could still be faking, I’m not saying they aren’t. It’s easy to fake stims. I was just pointing out that it’s not a weird way to stim like that. I get how people think that me writing “It really doesn’t look like they are faking to me” is a way of saying they aren’t faking. I get that, & it was wrong of me. I meant it as another way to say it doesn’t look unusual to me. Edit 3: I just wanted to explain that I wrote the comment because Pegasus said something along the lines of “You shake your arms violently & call it a stim” because shaking your arms violently could be a stim. It’s a similar way to how I stim sometimes. I also explained why you usually don’t see people do that in public. It’s still kinda weird to record it though. Also if you are going to comment something like “I know this person & they stim in public” I just wanted to say of course that could happen. That’s why I used words like “hardly”, “usually” & “almost” when talking about masking. There are exceptions to everything, I was just explaining how people usually mask in public & what masking was & how that effects how little you see of people stiming in public. I wrote the comment to explain things that he said, not saying that the person wasn’t faking. I’m not a random hater or anything, I’m actually a fan of Pegasus & have been watching him for a long time. I just wanted to educate him & others of what I know.
Thank you for putting this type of thing into words for me. I'm a completely normal well functioning adult in public if a little awkward, but at home I'm completely different when it comes to things like making weird noises and saying random things and making weird faces lol
I just found out about this thing 8 minutes ago, i also have a weird habit of shaking my head or legs unconsciously for along period, i just thought it was something i do but i wouldn't just go and call it a mental illness just because it's similar to one unless a doctor tells me i do Watching these clowns faking them really hurts my head
I HATE HOW I HAVE ADHD AND AM A GEN Z AND SEE THESE PEOPLE FAKING DISORDERS AND THINGS. LIKE, I STIM AND STIMMING IS NOT JUMPIG ON THE BED AND HAVING FUN LIKE WTH😟😨🤨 I also have anxiety and I don’t get why people want to not want to leave their room, or eat, OR even SHOWER. Like with ADHD too? You can’t even pay attention without moving in your seat, being told to stop being annoying, AND having people not like you because you’re “weird” for stimming or going non verbal because of overstimulation.
I have a bad tic disorder, but I don't try to call attention to it. It can get worse at times, where it draws a lot of attention to me, but I try and go about my day without mentioning it. But what I really don't understand is when people try and post about it. Like, my tics aren't consistent. Somedays it'll be really bad, some days I don't get it at all. You can't pinpoint and record it, and when people claim to do that, it just really upsets me...
Its hurtful to see people faking disorders people are born with. I have ASD and seeing people fake stim feels weird, it makes me think to myself "If I ever stim around people, will people think im faking?" It makes me feel worried that I might be accused of faking if I told someome I have ASD, and it's happened before.
*I have epilepsy, and some people have said I was faking seizures.* Luckily, I have complex-partial seizures, so I don’t convulse on the floor. During my seizures, my brain shuts off, but my body keeps going. So, I don’t know what’s going on around me until I come out of my seizure.
As soon as I saw this video, I needed to research the people in it. I'm a psychologist and recognized a problem. Pegasus, the commenter didn't research these people to find out if they were being truthful. I do know for a fact that most of these people are legit neurodivergent. They actually do suffer from mental health issues. Pegasus obviously doesn't know or have a deep understanding of what these disorders are, or what they look like. Therefore, what came out of his mouth was so disrespectful to the entire neurodivergent community. Please, do not get mad at everyone in this video and do your own research before jumping to conclusions. Have a better day.
These people will never know how hard it is to live with a disability, especially a hidden one. This is the reason nobody takes us seriously. As someone diagnosed with autism since the age of three, this is disgusting and is just an evolution of mocking the "special kids".
I know I don’t have something, which limits my life as much as something visible or which makes studies and social interraction difficult. But I have PTSD and I can’t imagine how pissed I’d be if someone acting like having it for Attention. Sorry guys.
As a person who has actually been diagnosed with anxiety by a psychiatrist, this makes me embarrassed that people think I fake stuff because some teen on TikTok thought that it would be funny to act like they have a bunch of stuff wrong with them just for the tiniest drop of clout.
Same! And is it just me, or do people with actual diagnosed anxiety and other illnesses never brag about it on the internet like these people do. Like I was legit embarrassed to tell my best friend that I had it💀
@@naaat3278 I went through the same exact thing with my bestie. It sucks that people would do stuff this sickening just to get attention. you are spitting PURE facts.
As someone who has ADHD and anxiety, I wouldn’t post having a panic attack. I’m just trying to live a normal life and I don’t see that helping anybody. 🤷♀️
Exactly! It's not funny or cool. Refusing to eat because you're so stick to your stomach from racing thoughts that come from anywhere at any times, cancelling plans, running away from situations/making in-depth plans so you'll have control, uncontrollable shaking, and other horrible things isn't a fun game. Yet to these people it is.
As a grandmother of 2 grandkids who “stim” due to Asperger’s Syndrome, I’m offended by these fakers!! Often stimming is an almost unnoticeable repetitive movement, or at least a very minimal movement of hands or feet. These are just ridiculous 🤦🏻♀️🤯😤
Stimming you can control most of the time(atleast in my case, I also make new stims alot since I might have pent up energy to tic but I cant tic so I have to stim), but as someone with multiple friends with DID, only one of them can really switch on command but it takes effort, its not just like "hey XYZ, front" and they XYZ is like "okay!" and boom they switch
DID is really rare and also tends to only show in adults around the age of 30 and more. So imagine my surprise when there’s a whole community on TikTok with DID who are all super young teenagers and kids. How rare.
Stimming you do on command and have control over, but that doesnt make it particularly enjoyable. Just a way to cope with emotions that are too intense. If I can, I will most definitely stim in the least noticeable way possible, or dont at all. Its easy as that. Great way to firgure out if someone is faking autism and/or adhd - they make stimming as noticeable as possible. Respectfully, someone actually diagnosed with autism and adhd.
Yup you can’t switch on command usually and they always forget there is amnesia involved with DID especially when you are younger (20-ish). Most don’t recognize they even have it until much later if life. It’s not fun and quirky thing to have from people I’ve seen who really have it. It’s terrifying having the amnesia and not remember what you just did for days or weeks before. This is what I’ve heard from other DID creators who had UA-cam channels way before it became trendy on tiktok. The tiktok DID crowd is nothing like I’ve seen any other DID creator act.
From my personal experience with depression, PTSD (medically diagnosed by a DOCTOR) I prefer to not share my illnesses, I WANT to overcome them, I don't want someone to associate with me as "mentally ill" I want someone to associate with me for my talents and strengths. I mean honestly who's WANT to have this?! It can be devasting.
And it's obvious i have mental illness so i guess there's no hidig aspect. Everyone that ik knows about my abuse or at least can think and figure it out, so i would rather preemptively explain myself
@@kylesher740 I don't have did, but I've done extensive research on it because I find it interesting. you're right. a lot of people or alters don't even know.
Hi! Gen Z here! I have suffered from depression, but I told myself, maybe I don’t have it because my whole friend group has it and I feel like I would act like I was faking. My whole friend group. I can’t say anything because they would say: “B-but you don’t know what I go through!! *puts hoodie over head* I am depressed because I am super sad!!!” omg
As a person who actually has ADHD and knows people who have autism, this really offends me how people just act like this for clout and views. People really need to get their minds straight.
I'm just waiting for epilepsy to gain traction and gain a lot of fakers. Kids having fake seizures for clout would be prime entertainment. Would piss me off though, already been a few cases of ppl doing this.
@@grisannetr1146 Yeah that's pretty stupid. Luckily I've never been accused of faking seizures but I know it happens to people sometimes. Tbf I get tonic-clonics they're pretty much impossible to imitate intentionally.
My mother is a therapist that often works with children. Sometimes I ask her about her work (I find that stuff interesting) and she told me about DID. She said that it was small, unnoticeable changes when a different side is out. It would be like, for example, someone would often put their hair in braids if the angry side is out. You can barely notice it, and it’s not like they are all people. The different sides are mostly based on the emotion, you also wouldn’t realize you had DID unless you were properly diagnosed and you definitely wouldn’t name your different sides.
Exactly, on top of that there are different types of DID, in one type the different personalities have no idea the others exist. It's also pretty rare in terms of psychological disorders.
THIS!! Point on! I know people who have lived with DID many years (diagnosed). It took ages to figure out the little “tells” of different personalities. And the people afflicted never knew which personality had come out. They couldn’t do it on a whim. They only learned of the other sites after intense therapy and because they had memory breaks and would see odd things happen in the house. One woman honestly though she had an intruder that kept coming back to her house because things were misplaced. Another couldn’t figure out why she had 11 bags of sugar (each personality got keyed in on that sugar was needed so they all bought some during the week). These tik toc’ers are really something. Sad.
I dont have autism but when i have "meltdowns" (it is a better word to describe my overly anxious/rageful/distress crisis) i tend to scratch my arms and face and do rocking motions covering my eyes abd ears while doing weird noises and my mother has told me that i banged my head against walls when i got stressed out when i was little. If im not autistic and already do these things, why would anyone want to ve autistic???
@@akodaah13-e32 You might have a sensory disorder. It's often A symptom of autism but can also be seen in other disorders and could also appear entirely on it's own. I recommend weighted blankets and noise cancelling earphones.
I’m epileptic, and I had to be homeschooled because I’d undress or wet myself in front of a bunch of people during seizures. But luckily, my friends knew it was a seizure, so they’d sit me down and help me from taking off my clothes. Also, in the middle of the night, my hubby said I just stood up on the bed and faced the headboard. Luckily, he was able to catch me from falling.
i have hyperactive adhd and this is basically the shit i do to get my pointless energy and anger out without being destructive and omfg the embarrassment i feel watching this from the outside perspective... honestly think this has cured my adhd...
I'm upset, because I have a brother who has diagnosed autism and he actually stims when angry or extremely happy. But even I know that he doesn't just do that randomly or when in front of a camera.
As an autistic person I hate the word stim it makes the activity sound “fun and quirky” which is why this exact behaviour has developed. The behaviour should be called by what it was always called “involuntary action or behaviour” it makes it not sound fun or quirky it makes it sound exactly like it is rather unpleasant actions you can control or help.
Bro these tiktok kids are capping so hard, i go to a special ed school and no way in hell would they set up a camera just to show the “stim” shit off. Also most of them are extremely socially distanced (not covid lol) from others. They are overall very nice and smart people, unlike these braindead tiktokkers. And that reminds me about this kid named stephan in elementary, he was the best kid ever and he had autism, very noticeable. He never acted like one of these annoying kids
The word is used by people who want it to sound quirky and fun, so now you think of it like that. It wasn’t supposed to sound fun. The definition of stim is a repetitive movement, and “involuntary actions or behaviors” still wouldn’t be right because stimming isn’t always involuntary, and this could be used for tics too. I stim voluntary when I’m not paying attention, even if I don’t notice
The reason why the behavior has developed isn’t because of the word but it’s because people want to feel special and different. Panic attacks don’t sound fun or quirky, but people still fake them for clout. Schizophrenia doesn’t sound fun or quirky, but people still fake them. Tourrettes sounds terrifying, but we got Emerald Rose. Stimming doesn’t sound quirky or fun, but we’ve got people like this
and since they post all this weird shit and get attention, it sets in idea in the people that see it saying "this is how the people with the disorder act" which creates some really gross stereotypes and makes the lives of those who suffer from it so much worse.
This right here! They'll pretend everything, but they know damn well they don't go through the stuff we do. Asked some tiktok idiot once WHY they would want adhd when it has caused me so many troubles like; Made me think I was a stupid child before I got medication, made me fall behind academically as a kid, makes me more prone to procrastination, makes me VERY sensory sensitive, ect, of course it has it's perks like being able to hyperfocus on things, but other than that why would someone want to struggle like that just for attention?????
Its sad, bc some people are getting hate for actually having DID, Anxiety, depression, ect. They are being called fake when they are diagnosed by a doctor Edit: Holy Fucking Shit, I didnt think this would blow up. 281 likes and 11 comments, I didnt get any notification
I once knew someone like this. Never wanted to speak to them, they faked DID but always had the same personality but just had a different name. They said they didn't believe in god but a month later they showed up wearing a headscarf claiming to have always been Muslim, after a few weeks they sropped. Also claimed to be able to speak with mother nature through the wind. I wish i was joking.
As someone who suffers from tics, these things are so unbelievable because they don’t just appear for TikTok and a lot of the time they are the same tic for a while, not a compilation of random movements for 10 seconds…
I love how those „DID” tiktokers: 1. Are so many although DID is extremaly and i mean extremaly rare 2. All of them has fuckzillions of alters when most DID patients usually has 1 and having more than one is considered abnormality. Imagine being abnormality to abnormality - chances for that are really close to 0 Too much Split lmao
@@chinesekungfu2031 people with DID are 1.1-1.5% of entire Population, it is extremely rare. Average number of personalities is 2-4 (counting your original self) and during the psychiatric treatment this number can be rising but let’s remember that only about 3% of people with DID get their treatment which means that having an average of let’s say 10 personalities as TikTok „stars” present it is vert very inaccurate and again is extremely rare in real life Edit: well it’s still a big number compared to the 80’s DID rate which is estimated to be around 0.01% and only around 40.000 people were diagnosed till the end of 20th century.
Most systems have between 5-14 alters, some may have more, some may have less but when it starts getting into the 50s and above naw that's sketchy. Especially the people with 100+ alters like wtf 😭😭
my mom's ex was 40 with diagnosed did, and up until he died, I had NO idea he had did. He had 3 alters (I forgot their names) and even he didn't know until he was older, a LOT older. Nobody who fronted made it know, or obvious. Plus he didn't make it his entire personality. So, I'm not saying these guys are 100% faking, but medically, more than 20 alters, especially for people under 18, is not very likely lol
They are 100% faking. It’s really a matter of; how many times do you lie to yourself until you start to believe the lie. These dumb ass kids need to be ab-so-lutely rehabilitated. Smash their phone, bar them from social media and send them off to contribute something to society other than splurging on TikTok. Lol. This shit is truly a sign of the times. Sad as fk. Faking mental disorders to get clout. Jesus.
I don't know how much alters she has rn, but I know a French UA-camr (ThePeculiarClub) that has a lot. Not above 30 though, I'm sure. But, she is genuine and she has to be 21/22 yo. So, I think it's possible, depending on the amount and intensity of traumas the person has been going through.
@@redpilledfag Bruh she is diagnosed, if you knew her you would have never said that. She was forced to show her diagnostic because of people like you. And she went on TEDex talks.
As someone who is autistic this shit makes me cry. It really does because the thing I fear most is people finding out I have autism so I constantly try and mask it so they do not think I'm anything like these gross fucks in these videos. It's so embarrassing and I don't think I will ever feel comfortable with being autistic because of these people, never ever and it sucks so god damn much. I wish the people who want autism so bad and fake all of it could have just had it instead of me, because I just want to be treated like a normal person by the people who know that I have it since I'm constantly treated like a little kid (but that wont change due to the way these people act in these videos since they get to much attention and reinforce the idea of autistic people acting like children).
Yeah these mofos can take my ADHD lmao, I would drown 10 people if it meant being mentally stable. Now excuse me while I finish 12 assignments that are almost overdue because apparently that's quirky and totally not stressful and anxiety inducing.
Hang in there buddy. I knew someone with a disorder and I never thought of them as some kind of lesser being. I loved them as my friend. Seeing these people makes me sick.
@@randomauthor768 Thank you. Your words mean a lot because people like you have done so much for me after I spent most of my life feeling so out of place for something and I never knew what it was
@@anarchyalien2279 dont worry man ik how it feels to constantly mask yourself and all that, one day youll find someone you can be yourself around and it will make life so much easier
1:00 as a guy with autism, this basically a mockery of stimming, I have seen people who stim extremely before (as in like they act very unusual) but like that is extremely exaugurated. How I stim personally is based on my tics. I have been diagnosed with an eye tick, and a hand tick, and i tend to do my hand tic very often, like literally every few seconds, and somehow now my stim is basically my tic, my hand tends to tic more often when i stim. I honestly can't describe my hand tick it's very weird. 7:00 that's literally not how tics work, there are multiple types of tics, some being what my doctor calls "aggressive tics" which is tics that happen very often and you can't control and you dislike. there are other ones i honestly forgot the names to them but tics in general don't happen like every 1 second i assume. I can't say for everyone with tics because idk what extreme tics look like, and I personally never had it myself but i think it's VERY convenient for you to both have ADHD, have extreme tics that so happen to hit your head every second just for the camera
As an autistic person, I actually stim somewhat like that (the 1:00 one). Stims can be exaggerated like that, and I've stimmed excessively, my autistic stepbrother has stimmed excessively, and so on.
Prepare for cringe below. W-wha-what?? W-we.. we tru-trusted y-ou.. you! I-i-m a-a f-furry m-m-m-minor with t-tics and a-a-autism a-and stu-stutters!!! How c-could you?! ÆæÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆĀaeaeaeaeaeaeaeeaeaea UWUuwuwuwu
I recently was diagnosed with level 1 autism (Asperger’s) and it’s not fun to have at all. I can’t have a normal conversation with anyone since I’ll end up talking only about myself or the other person/people will have explain jokes so, this sometimes causes me to be an outcast. I have had a complete breakdown over the texture of pumpkin guts. I refuse to eat 90% of foods because of texture and will freak out when I eat those foods. So having these people think it’s “cute” or “fun” to have disorders, whether it be autism or not is disgusting and quite frankly, rude and inconsiderate of people with said disorders. It. Is. Not. I wish people would stop faking it.
Imagine a sdam hossin and Osama bin Laden anime and buff joe biden or buff black nigga obama as the antagonist maybe make sdam and osama have a chemistry between them like a good friendship that shit would be WILD AF💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💯💯
I have a friend with it, and all she needs to do is tap to something or distract herself from a situation somehow. Never seen her become a helicopter and I’ve known her for five years
I'm autistic and literally the way tiktok infantilizes us is so fucking infuriating. A lot of us don't even like stimming around people? Even then we don't fucking flap our hands and jump around. Being autistic is stressful, there's a lot of things that I can't do or need done in a very specific way or I'll stress tf out.
Real stimming: hitting knuckles together when nobody sees. Swinging from side to side when standing. Shaking hands very slightly when super excited. Walking back and forth Fake stimming: shaking the t-rex arms strongly. Moving every limb at max
I don’t know about the chick in the video but I have a non-verbal autistic nephew and he swings his arms around and jumps when excited. Don’t talk about shit you don’t know nothing about. Not all autistic people stim the same way.
@@elenalytical wrong its like sex. not everyone does it the same way. but you can tell without a doubt if an orgasm is fake. and if you cant... i dunno touch grass, see people

imagine how fast all these “disorders” go away once a parent walks in on them unannounced
Imagine how fast these “disorders” go away once the parents stop providing free room and food.
Well, look at that, they're cured...Hallelujah. -__-
They all have disorders it's called stupid and it seems a very common on tik tok
Hopefully. Kids doing that kind of mocking with the lack of empathy *and that for views* seriously needs a payback
They'll cut that shit real quick when college or their bosses catch it online
I don’t see why people want to have disorders or fake them. Having a disorder isn’t pleasant at all, it’s a curse
I strongly agree as someone with a disorder
4 words: Pity points and attention
It sucks ass it’s not fun at all from personal experience
Same here idk why people think it's a good idea to get them, since society has fucked me over a few times just becuase of my disability.
I don't have a disorder but it seems like it sucks to have one lol.
They all want anxiety until it makes it so they cant leave their room, not even to eat or shower.
They all want depression until it sends them to the hospital.
They all want adhd until they cant even listen to their loved talking without zoning out.
Wait, why do they want these???
no father figure
edit: im not getting rid of this message but i think that saying no father figure to these people is cruel to people who actually dont have a father present in their life, these people are just histrionic
They want to be quirky
They want someone to validate them
Literally, like having a disorder is cool until you can't do basic functions or clean yourself, eat properly, shower, go to public places, not freak out when someone greets you, etc. Because if it gets do that point, you're weird and disgusting and cast out from society.
They want tiktok views lmfao
They want attention and clout, don't be surprised. Everyone wants clout
Im a gen X man and i remember when i was in my teens and 20s, we would do ANYTHING to HIDE our depression, adhd, or any affliction you had. Now these kids try soooo hard to pretend to have every problem under the sun cuz they think it makes them a special snowflake. WTF?
Seriously. Rules of the wild, never show weakness.
@@matthewhummel1572Middle ground. Not being able to show your weakness make you weak. The strong are comfortable with their imperfections.
This doesn't mean you make commercials and advertise it for attention, like Gen Z
@@themacocko6311 perhaps I spoke less clearly than I intended. By no means do I advocate bottling it up until it shows up as a heart attack in your 40’s, but you have to know when to hit the release valve.
@@themacocko6311 it wasn't that, there was an expectation of respecting other people's boundaries... and not being a public nuisance. The self diagnosis crowd (as a movement) started as less of an attention seeking crowd than a sociopolitical one... largely as a pseudo-feminist movement to bring attention to under diagnosed females by cosplaying them and becoming their 'voice' -- which got swept up and weaponized by the privilege stack. You'd find this crowd, nearly all girls, starting echo chambers on livejournal. Some remnants remain... it went into overdrive with tumblr and in particular, the public recognition of Temple Grandin.. which in the fandom of, became code for secret genius without having to apply oneself. As a movement, they would take on many autistic organizations as well as targeting the families of a few reality docu series about autism - offended at those showcasing severe autism under the guise of social justice politics, this of course, extended to other mental health condtions as well as trans (though, trans folly was largely a former president turning it into an issue against the greater trans community's wishes, which ended up overwriting the medical standard and the old guard being called gate keepers, you can find some of those remnants on youtube, where many of these trans trenders were quite hostile to actual trans people as well.) -- you see it happen with many demographics, not just mental health, the co-opting of identities, and with dysfunctionally, often from the crowd screaming about appropriation the most... they end up becoming the faces of said conditions and movements, which causes more conflict and spreads greater ignorance to a largely unknowing public. But there's always being an discomfort with mental health... much of the public thinks of care as something out of victorian bedlam, they feel sympathy for the fictional protagonist of Clockwork Orange despite he was a violent sexual predator. He also has garnered a sense of hero worship for some. Mental health issues with children is even worse... in how lightly the public takes it and is conned into believing they need to provide safe spaces, let them act like Helen Keller before she was forced to adapt to the rest of society.
It's also, mental health conditions have become permanent in this age... badges of honor, when they used to be something that many people could recover from or even outgrow. Now to be diagnosed as a child is have a lifelong label, largely medical fashion, and never learning to cope with their disability or adapt to the world... permanent victimhood... that is chronically abused and misappropriated to create chaos and conflict, to excuse bad behavior.
You hid it because people didn't coddle you and give you a bunch of attention for it. They told you to get over it and that everyone has problems. And guess what... most of you did get over it.
People will engage in whichever behaviors yield the highest reward, and avoid the ones that don't
a bad mood isn't ''dissasociating'',loads of teens have bad mood swings and that's actually normal.
and very severe mood swings are not even DID, it is a symptom of bipolar disorder
Tiktokers have broken new ground, they call these irregular dissociations "emotions". These include the symptoms of DID, where you have different feelings depending on your environment and recent social interactions. Truly incredible
@@carterbaca2714 like they think there is a specific """"alter"""" for being angry or something
I feel a little bad for them because these people need some serious attention and appearantly pretending to have disorders gets them that kind attention and a way for them to feel at comfort. Prehaps it is fatherless behaviour
Yeah i have mood swings im sad or angry for no reason and its hard to control my emotions sometimes
Ah yes, stimming, when you jump on your bed like a maniac and look like you're having a ton of fun while doing so.
lmao
It CAN be, but it's usually only when you're alone and excited. It's not something people do in public or even in front of the camera.
What even is that?
Their on octane's stims
@@Nakia11798 Yeah exactly, I bloody hate watching these people.
I recently found out that my little steap sister was asking me a lot about my mental disorders only to find she was useing the information so she can fake one online more accurately/believably. It's rediclous and kinda heart wrenching at the same time. Hallucinating randomly or under stress is *not* fun nor quirky. Id *gladly* give my condition to one of these angsty kids an see just how fast they change their minds.
Amen. Give a gZ autism (or any mental discord) and watch them roll into a ball on their bed and cry.
damn. hope they grow out of it
Okay, I’m sorry but if I were you, I would’ve told her mom and slapped her face (depends if she’s 15 and you’re older, definitely wouldn’t slap a 10 year old who don’t know better). I hope you do well with your conditions!
@@plmdea Trust me I wanted to too! But her mother is passed an her Dad my steap Dad can't do anything cuz she screams she's going to kill herself and blame him. I can't say anything cuz "I'm not family". I wish I could figure out why she feels she needs to fake disorders worse then she's got. As an adult now 18 we sadly now can't tell her to do much. But I did the next best thing, I told her two best friends who's she's living with an can't tell to screw off cuz then she's homeless. I found out that she's living with them fir free so long as she continues to see their family therapist and look for a job. I sent all four years of conversations we had had (back when she liked me, or at least thought she did) to them an a few tictoc clips of her doing said fake disorder BS. They have talked to her about it but as she's out if house now an an adult I don't have much more to say. I feel for her freinds, they are a saint.
I'd secretary record her asking you these questions and get her to admit what she's doing and then upload it to her tiktok page and expose her
I am autistic, I stim when i am in distress which has literally been a handful of times. When i was diagnosed with cancer, when I lost my daughter and when my mum died last week, i manicly rock myself and walk in a circle. It's not something i do once or twice a week. I maybe flap one hand when i am over excited which is rare too because nothing really over excites me anymore getting a bit old for exciting things.
Are you okay now?
Alongside the other commenter (and from one neurodivergent person to another; I have ADHD), I hope you are okay, and I am so sorry for your loss💔
Omg no
I was inbred. So yeah... lol. I rub my nose violently a lot when im overwhelmed but ive hated it my whole life cause i got made fun of for it as a kid and by girlfriends as a adult. I didnt really feel okay about it till my wife helped me realise its not really all that crazy.
I was 1nbred so yeah... lol. My only "tick" all throughout my life was i started this habit of rubbing my nose violently when im excited. I hated it though cause kids made fun of me for it, and so did girlfriends when i became a adult. It wasnt till my wife who helped me realize it wasnt all that crazy that I would accept it.
I am pretty sure this person has never EVER met an 8 year in real life. That was an adult pretending to be a 3 year old. They got their ages totally mixed up. If I had an 8 year old that acted like that I'd be heavily concerned
Yes I was thinking the same. That's not how 8 years old normally behave.
literally. my brother is 8 and doesn’t act like that at all, he’s way more mature than what that person was tryna do lol idk what they thought they did but man😂
@@nyca3833 nowadays they are already more pre puberty 😁
same, and hell, has she even been 8 before? I was 8 years old a long time ago, but I acted nothing like that, neither did any of my siblings, schoolmates, or kids that I’ve baby sat
Exactly. Even the talking. Only toddlers speak with that tone because they still don't control their breath while speaking. That's why in pre school they are teaching to sing a lot, so they can control it.
Furthermore, the kissing plushies...yep, that how an adult would portrait a cute kid, without realising they can play no so cute games.
As an Aspie myself, I don't even like calling my own behaviors stimming, 'cause it makes them sound special when they're really not. I might walk in circles a lot or clap my hands repeatedly when I'm excited, or rock my chair or bounce my leg when bored, but I still have control over them, I just choose to let them happen when I don't need not to. I'm not some zoo animal, and I don't wanna draw unnecessary attention on me, I just wanna be treated like anyone else. I would HATE being filmed doing that, nor could I knowingly do it in front of a camera.
yeah, I will never understand the people who film it, personally when I stim it embarrasses me beyond comprehension. I could never just casually post it
I never understood why they think stimming is this dumbass jumping around bs I stim by pacing it the only way I can think effectively without speaking my thoughts out loud
I feel the same way! Mine aren’t anything special, it’s just swaying back and forth and lip chewing and foot tapping mostly. It’s nothing to be filmed and the way people “stim” on camera is so forced
@@anarchyalien2279 I do all those things, they tried to diagnose me with autism also, tbh I'm convinced at this point that "autism" is just a label for "hard to control and unpredictable"
@Corey Brown Gaming It's not exactly a sign by itself, anybody can bounce their leg, you can't say anything for certain just from that. But it does fall into the "repetitive behavior" category, so it can become cause for suspicion if someone displays an awful lot of these signs. Even then, it's probably better not to think anything of it unless you notice other types of signs or your family has a history of autism.
Okay so...
I'm 35 years old this year.
I have spent over 3 full years in lock-down psychiatric facilities.
My illness ruined my military career (I was in the Air Force), goten myself and my family involved in some very risky and dangerous situations, and ruined every romantic relationship I have tried to be a part of.
Shit like this feels like a slap in the face to people really suffering, and makes it so much harder for getting help to people that are actually diagnosed...
These kids should be ashamed of themselves.
i'm sorry for what happened to you
I am so sorry man
I have OCD, ADD/ADHD, IED, C-PTSD, PTSD, anxiety, severe depression, schizophrenia, schizo-effective disorder, suicidal ideation, anti-social tendencies, agoraphobia.
I was diagnosed by a psychiatric team with my first mental illness in June of 1996 when I was 6 years old
Hope things are better, pray you get all the help you need and I believe you can do anything you set your mind to. Hang in there
It's my generation and I'm ashamed of us all but mainly the parents and government for not teaching their kids better and for letting it spread
I love how the “8 year old” talks like a 2 year old. Cute. Excellent job getting into character. 😂

8 year olds totally know what pronouns are

As someone who genuinely has DID (diagnosed by a professional, alongside PTSD and depersonalization-derealization disorder), this is not how we work AT ALL and it's absolutely disgusting because we're already demonized in some media. I can't say the same for every other person with DID, but I went to a special group where people with DID met up and we all have very similar experiences which are NOTHING like the crap these kids are pulling.
DID comes from extreme childhood trauma (usually SA, like it was for me). According to one of my therapists it's usually when our childhood brains are finalizing our personality but the trauma doesn't allow our brains to do that. Instead, it takes different aspects of our personality and separates them in our minds. Or, at least, that's what I remember my therapist saying I wasn't totally paying attention.
Although the majority of us do have a "child part", it's not really like that one video. A lot of times it's like a snapshot of how we were back when our personalities fragmented. The child part is often surprisingly mature, it just has a more childlike nature. What makes me especially mad that people are pretending to have this is because the "child alter" is usually the "victim part" (from when we were abused) and not just a cutesy person that cuddles with stuffed animals.
They also often showcase an alter that's edgy/emo/evil/etc. Many of us have a part that can be "mean" but it is what's known as a "protector part/alter". It is the alter that fights back when we feel threatened because we couldn't fight back when we were being abused.
There's something called a "Karpman drama triangle" that my therapist (and apparently a lot of other therapists) use to describe what sometimes happens with alters. There are three roles in a dysfunctional relationship: "Persecutor", "Victim", and "Rescuer". A lot of alters follow the karpman drama triangle to mirror/mimic the abuse because of trauma.
We often have a persecutor part that has held a lot of our anger and takes it out on others. For me, I couldn't control this alter and I often couldn't even remember what happened (a blank in my memory) and people would tell me that I stood up straighter, got this look in my eyes they'd never seen before, and was just plain cruel. Usually it was verbal but apparently I did attack my sister and mom once when I was in a situation I felt threatened in.
The victim part is often the childlike part taking the place of our younger selves. It is NOT an actual child. For me, this is the one alter I have not integrated with yet, but I don't have a strong desire to do so. For me, she is more energetic, has a higher voice, and really likes cute things.
The rescuer part is one I never really had, which may be because I had no rescuer (I ended up rescuing myself), but I often had other alters that didn't fit any of the other categories, if that makes sense.
Our alters are not completely different people. They are simply fragments of our personality/identity that are separated from us. I can be childlike without switching to my childlike alter. I can be rude without switching to my persecutor part.
My therapist (and all the other people of the group's therapists) encourages us to "integrate" our parts. We do our best to bring all the parts into one as we heal.
Sorry for the essay. I realize many people have different experiences with DID (one girl in the group was COMPLETELY different from the way I worked) but this is simply mine and what I remember one of my therapists saying.
It's not fun to live with at all. I hurt many people that I do not remember even hurting, I had to go to a mental hospital for 6 months because of how it affected me, and I had so much going on in my mind that I thought I was going insane.
Don't use DID to be quirky and don't self-diagnose yourself with it. It may seem "cool" but it's really not. I would do just about anything to erase what happened to me and get rid of all the side effects that came along with the aftermath.
If you want to see a good exploration of DID, play Xenogears. It's a great game and has one of the best and most accurate portrayals of DID I've seen in any media. It's also a major part of the story, not just some obscure side quest character. I highly recommend it, but do be warned the game is infamously hard to find. You can only find it physically on PS1, (playable on a backwards compatible PS2 or PS3) the PS3 PSN, or via emulation. I may also be part of the revamped PS+ mirroring Xbox's game pass but IDK.
Just wait for that one person that says that you're lying or whatever cos they have DID. This happened to me recently on another channel. Because I also stated that these alters can't just be made up on the spot as a adult and the condition develops in childhood. So fictive alters based on characters they've seen on a TV show recently and want to mimic isn't DID, its just cosplay and its faking alters.

Exactly! I hate reacting in public or needing to go breathe because of something triggering my PTSD. Especially since a couple of my triggers are very common things. 😅

When I was diagnosed with bipolar, I fought against the diagnosis with everything I had. I went back through every question my psychiatrist had. Over and over, I kept telling her she was wrong. It was something that hit me hard. My grandma had bipolar, I saw what it did to her. Now I have come to place of acceptance with it. I don't understand people who want to fake disorders. You are not special. I am not special. I am sick. There is a difference.
I am so glad you accepted your diagnosis and I hope you are getting the help you need. Bipolar is just one aspect of who you are, it doesn't define you 💕

As an autistic guy, it irks me when people act like autism is some kind of quirk. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s when I was a kid, and it has always had a negative impact on my life. My autism causes me to have no social skills, I can hardly function like a normal person, and people treat me like a creep just because I’m autistic. Looks like these people watched movies and TV shows about how “gifted” autistic people are, like “The Good Doctor”.
as someone who age regresses, it's a way to cope with trauma (especially childhood trauma) and is in NO WAY sexual. i personally don't understand why someone would post themselves regressing though.

@@parkerbench1843 how old is that girl on ur profile pic 🤨?
As a mother to none-verbal autistic twins, it really unsettles me that people would fake autism. I see my boys & how their world works, the troubles & issues they face day-to-day that the rest of us take for granted. I’m aware how different life is going to be for them & the things they won’t get to do or experience due to their complex needs or issues. There’s been many heartbreaks over this diagnosis. I have to fit into their world, most of our world isn’t accommodating for them & their needs (lack of disability facilities, quiet areas & safe spaces to self-regulate during a meltdown episode, allocated SEN sessions/less crowds & noise). I actually wish they had a different life, for themselves. It’s not a quirky trend. And here you have people wanting that?! No, they just want the ‘cute’ parts (the stims) which is only a minor part of autism. I never see them sharing the painful, overwhelming, exhausting, meltdown parts.
In other news : Most autistic stims are more subtle, hand flapping & ear flicking are really common. It is extremely common for girls to mask autism too, so females tend to not outwardly stim, they usually get diagnosed later in life because of hiding it so well.
To stim as hard as these girls, usually you would be able to tell they’re autistic without being *told* they’re autistic. It would be noticeable.
I have little brother with it and ticks me off seeing this. Makes me want to shave these fakers heads and say if u want to fake being autistic , may as well fake cancer
My mother never suspected of me being autistic until the school psychologist told her. I was diagnosed at 16 years old (I'm now 17) and she was surprised by the news, since she thought my actions/way of communication were because of me having adhd.
I'm autistic woman, and I've always being autistic. After preschool, I was bullied. A lot, and just because I stood out from the crowd. I was even mislabeled as a troublemaker, and I had to change the school. And now, I see youngsters pretending to be autistic to get more views! It's disgusting and makes me feel invalidated, and not mentioning about the problems inside my family going on right now!
There has been a change to the definition and Asperger's is on the spectrum instead of a separate diagnosis, which even further clouds things. In the olden times there were several diagnoses and because of this my nephew who has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, my sister can seem like a good parent and skip over that diagnosis and say "he has autism" because the symptoms overlapped...
I have autism myself even though it was pdd-nos. I don’t experience anything like stimming as an adult, I may have as a child but I’m not sure I would have to ask my mother. Though the main problems I experience with ias an adult is emotionally instability, unable to have proper attachments and issues With aggression and this is not all the fault of the pdd-nos because I also was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD as a child and I never got treatment for ODD and grew up in the proper conditions for the ODD to fester

As someone who has autism, and goes to a school for autistic children. I can say that all of the behaviors that these idiots display are NOT how we are. Some of us are lower functioning and can show some of these behaviors, but not on this level.
lower functioning is a derogatory term. id suggest wording it differently. (im diagnosd at 7) not mad, just saying allistics use these terms to degrade us. when someone says “lower functioning” it auto implies they’re worth less than “high functioning”. both of these terms are harmful btw.
@@rumplestiltskinhoe sorry for how i worded it.

@@rumplestiltskinhoe lower functioning is not a derogatory term… it’s the literal term.

@@ashleycd6487 And the funny thing is, the more they "fight against labeling" with their invented stuff, the more they support it by actually adding more tags and labels

Hi, I know this was only intended to bash on people who like “make up” sexualities like dreamsexual and shit, but this kind of came off as insensitive and kind of rude. People can use lots of different pronouns and they don’t have to be commonly used words in order to be valid pronouns. I know neopronouns are confusing but some people use them! And the sexuality thing, it comes off as if you’re saying that being lgbtq+ is a trend which is a very homophobic/transpobic concept to believe. I do acknowledge that people will make up genders and sexualities but that’s kind of all anything is, made up. If I were you I would recommend getting rid of the pronouns and sexualities part but I guess it’s up to you. I just wanted to say this, I hope I didn’t come off as rude. Have a nice day :)
@@maggiem3807 I'm sorry if my comment offended you, it was no the point at all, but I'll stay with what I said because even if some people truly stand and recognize their sexual orientation and identity, I feel that for every one person that does there are 10 that either collect them as "labels" to feel special or "unique", which actually ends up defeating the purpose of all sexualities being equal and damaging the reputation of people that actually take seriously their sexual identity and orientation. The comment is not making fun of sexual identities being bad (the ones that make sense at least, not the chocosexual or dreamsexual stuff), but is making fun of the clowns that just pile them up to decorate their TikTok bios like Christmas lights
I’m now 21, and when I was a preteen (10-12) I wanted badly to have a mental disorder. I wanted it since I grew up in an environment of neglect and lack of attention, and I felt like that would grant me the attention and love I craved.
Today, I am very ashamed of that, and I’m happy that I’m healthy. But these people, as embarrassing and ungrateful as they may be, are probably just seeking attention and that’s the only way they know how to do it. Not justifying it, and I wish everyone can be thankful for the lives they have and not fake struggles, but just explaining this phenomenon from a different POV.

Most of the time I don't even realize Ive started stimming until I'm already doing it (picking, messing with my hair, counting, sucking my thumb etc) I hate it and I definitely don't set up my camera then force it for attention.

I have diagnosed adhd, and its seen as something quirky and "different" what a lot of people don't understand is that you aren't given special attention in real life as you are online with adhd, usually just called annoying by classmates or have trouble focusing on shopping or buying new clothes, its just harder to focus on day to day activity's, and if I ever am focused I'm usually hooked in on something for days or hours, that's just my experience though and it is probably different for other people, thanks for reading though and have a great day 👍
I’m also diagnosed with ADHD and it sucks I hate how people think it is funny and trendy 😓
I fucking hate it so much it infuriates me how some people can think it's a cool thing to have :/
same for me. I hate being flighty or stuck on something for weeks, but ticktok got folk thinking its cute...smh
I haven't really gotten the chance to diagnose it, but I do wanna make sure if I do or don't, just in case-
I'm sorry if I sound attention seeking or something, but I'd just want to know what signs can be there for ADHD
"hooked in on something for days or hours" Ive had that happen before and it regularly lead to me well forgetting to eat,drink, and even sleep. Its basicly like if my mind had some kind of priority list, the moment something "grabs" me it shifts all other things down the list
I’ve had diagnosed OCD since I was 10, followed by anxiety and depression as I’ve grown older. I’m on constant medication and have to see professionals weekly. My disorders are something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. They aren’t fun, they aren’t quirky, and if I could have a chance at living life without any of them I would take that chance in a heartbeat.
When I see other people in my generation faking these disorders, especially OCD, just to get clout online it makes me so angry. OCD isn’t just needing everything clean and tidy, OCD can be scared to leave your house in case anything bad happens to your family. It can be looping back around a route in your car because you’re convinced you knocked someone over. For me I once brushed my teeth 19 times in an evening because every time I finished brushing them it didn’t feel ‘right’ so I would have to go back and do it again because my house would burn down if I didn’t.
The worst part is, I dont even believe you for the simple fact that you are a young woman. Lol this is the damage this sort of behavior is causing. Its essentially punishing people for being sympathetic. Its like crocodile tears, instead of being sympathetic when a woman cries it just makes me instantly skeptical and wonder what their angle is since most of the time women have cried around me its been a manipulation tactic.
Its like the boy who cried wolf but society wide, you cant take people seriously when they say they have OCD or other disorders anymore because its been faked ad nauseum. I'm fucking sick of it, I just want to feel again.
idk if its only me but when i put my hand on the wall there is a 50% chance my brain doesnt like how i put my hand on the wall and forces me to redo it

@Chris Tango Its not made up, being "a mess" is not a diagnosis, its a copout. Lol understanding your problems is the best way to fix them. The trouble is these days most people dont want to fix them. They want to wallow in despair and enjoy the power that our society gives to the weak and victimized. Its much easier than actually confronting a psychiatric disorder.
@Chris Tango because OCD is made up,, sure thing
You said it best, they must not have too much of a disorder in order to pull out their phone, film, edit it well, and then post it.

@@ecg3152 You’re probably fine, using movement to manage strong emotions is normal, and autistic people aren’t the only ones who stim. Plus, there’s a lot more that goes into an autism diagnosis. If you think you might have a mental disorder, please go to a specialist if/as soon as you can.

I love how these people make their “alters”(basically mimicking multi personality disorder) easily interchangeable upon one another. In reality in multi personality disorders will more than likely have a dominant personality that are almost always present or aware, people can’t choose what personality comes out. It’s not a character selection, a personality comes out based on the moment and from most research given, all personalities hate sharing a vessel.
One thing also is that with such disorder
You are gonna have memory gaps so to know your personality or come back in a split second would cause u to be confused since it’s almost like blacking out
Ik because I’ve been diagnosed
Exactly! And I can't stand people who fake did and claim their alters are dating. Sure...
I was thinking this exact thing. People with DID don't get to choose which personality is present, it is typically because of a situation you are currently in.
Preach. I'm a preteen who truly struggles with this disorder. Half my day is practically missing, leading me to be less bright than peers. It's truly a curse.
They are acting like characters in a movie or game.
disassociating is a very real thing and it makes me so angry watching people fake it for attention… i wouldn’t know the difference between someone faking autism or DID cuz i don’t have either but when it comes to disassociating it’s so evident these people are faking it. i disassociated for 3 months and it was the most terrifying 3 months of my life. these people suck
Cheddar
It's truly sad how badly these people feel they need attention, when there is just nothing interesting about them, and they harder they try to be interesting, the worse the cringe gets. They're simply addicted to that feeling of social validation, programmed to get it without caring if they deserve it. Seek validation from within, not from external sources, and avoid this trap.
exactly
I'm Gen Z and I fell and still sometimes fall into that trap. I've done stuff like cutting myself repeatedly because I thought it would make me more interesting or something, of course it doesn't tho. I do think children should be educated more on that topic and encouraged to share their true feelings. I am, as I'm writing this, unsure of why I'm even doing it, as in the end it is still some kind of wanting attention now is it. And that thought kinda makes it very hard to talk about feelings cause whenever I want to tell someone I don't feel well I'm not sure if I'm just looking for attention again; on the other hand people tell me to open up. It's kind of paradoxical and I always get stuck on that thought, not being able to solve it
@@Niemal It's not an easy thing to unlearn, but being aware of it is that all important first step. Everyone has talents and things that make them unique, but you have to have the peace, space, and sometimes the time to find what yours are.

I have high functioning autism, and I never knew that “stimming” was a thing. I thought it was something everyone did. For example, I wring my hands when I’m really excited, or when I’m stressed or nervous. And it’s not something I do consciously, so it’s not like I can set up my phone to record myself. It’s not dramatic, either. Which is why I figured it was common for everyone. I have a lot of struggles, specifically socially, and I really do wish I was “normal”. It’s not unbearable to live with by any means, but I do feel very isolated and wish I wasn’t this way.
Yeah me neither. Not before this at least. For me its just pacing around like Im on a very intense phone call.
@@lovesick3317 yeah, afaik there is research that suggests most people do in fact stim, but non-autistic people usually have less noticeable stims and might not feel the need to stim as much

i have ptsd and 99% of people with trauma or disorders due to trauma literally don't act like that 💀💀
Now I understand why, back in the days, Usa has so many mental hospitals . Now, all of them are closed, and the patient are doing tik toks
Mental disorders aren’t quirky or fun. They are rough and very hard to deal with not just for the individual but also those around them. They are very hard to deal with and aren’t something to be romanticized. I have generalized anxiety and depression and when I’m not on my meds I get traits of bipolar. I’m not full out bipolar I just have a few symptoms when things get really bad but not enough to be diagnosed with the full disorder. It’s by no means fun. These people don’t understand what mental disorders truly are
Lol we know-
I have a bunch of issues including bipolar2 and bpd. It suck hard. W/o my meds im off the chain
As an autistic person (professionally diagnosed when I was 12) I would never stim in public bc EMBARRASSING when you’re 25 but me stimming can sometimes be me jumping around and flapping my arms looking like an absolute idiot. Stimming for me in lowkey shameful I don’t know why anyone wants to make it look like this cute thing
EXACTLY
No one wants to show off their disorders and the behaviors that come with it. And these people are out here pretty much bragging about it.
No matter the problem, looks like every disabled tries to look normal around others.
I have a respiratory desease and have to endure that stifling sensation around people because breathing heavily, though alleviating the pain in the lungs, scares people away. Even my siblings are bothered by it ^^'
Exactly I get for educational purposes but I’m diagnosed (10) and I feel so bad bc I unfortunately have the very typical and stereotypical sims arms flapping extra. It’s so shameful because I feel just wrong and I hate it so much.
Yeah my family sometimes catches me stimming ( i kick pillows on my bed up into the air kinda like a cat) and it does not feel quirky, it feels embarrassing. Even though my family has told me that they find it more cute than anything and don't shame me I still feel shame about it
I was professionally diagnosed with Asperger’s when I was only 4, and it has made life hard for me sometimes. To see people making jokes about real disorders saddens me.
I learned this in my in my 1st year of being a psych major, is that people with DID formally called multiple personality disorder don't remember switching personalities, it's called dissociative amnesia, and yes even tasking food can cause a switch but some people aren't even aware they have alters and get lost in time, people with DID are often distressed and it's not fun for them. Also it is common to have a child alter, mostly from childhood trauma. Hope this adds information.
Louder for people in the back.
this!!!!! also not many alters like to come out for people. cant imagine for a camera
I think instead of calling it DID, they should rename it impersonating multiple "characters" who live in them like those tiny humans from the comedy "meet Dave".
Nobody cares about your silly college major. Stop flexing it.
@Davemike27 It's to give a better insight for those that don't know the actual issues that come with having stuff like DID.
It's bad enough that mental disorders already have had a bad name for decades - these kids are not helping.
That's why genuine info is good to see/read on.
@ 3:17 the fart noise while mentioning Gen Z made me laugh.
He ate too many cheese
Oh, and stimming, at least in my experience, isn’t always acting like a cracked up baboon! I bounce my leg. That’s it. And if I get especially overwhelmed, I start shaking my hands. That’s it.
And I’m not saying bigger stims don’t exist
Same
yes!!! stimming can also be repeatedly clearing your throat, biting your nails, etc
These guys apparently don't know what stimming is. I do shake my hands and jump a bit, but these aren't Autistic people. They are attention seekers, hoping for the approval and perks of being considered "disabled". Or am I wrong and it's a worse scenario?
@@honotenshi not trying to get the perks of being "disabled" just seeking for attention
stimming can be literally anything, just because your stims are small doesnt mean people with bigger stims dont exist
As someone with autism, the fact people think it’s quirky is so disgusting and frustrating since now it’s hard for people who are on the spectrum to be believed since they don’t display the same behaviors as those on TikTok, this goes for most disorders too.
Erm actually I think it's hot (I am severely autistic and often have panic attacks purely because someone complimented me and I'm not sure whether they are Trying to kill me or if they are going to have sex with me and it ruined my entire life not getting a diagnosis faster than I have and multiple doctors now say I may actually have paranoia)
Please explain what you mean by “I think it’s hot” 😭@@slimeswiper
Dawg get out of here..@@slimeswiper
@@slimeswiper🙄
People think autism seems all tee hee funny person like funny thing but make fun of actual autistic people for having the "non pretty" traits like burnout and being overwhelmed by simple things
I have autism, and as a person who regularly stims these people on TikTok disgust me. I was diagnosed with Autism when I was only 4 and have lived basically my entire life with it. It has caused my near infinite pain and tramua, and still haunts me to this day. The fact that there's people out there who fake, fetishize, and infantize my horrible illness absolutely disgusts me.
As for what my stims entailed, when I was younger (ages 5 to age 14) I would have these things called "episodes" where I would act out a TV episode in my head and verbalize the voice acting and sound effects whole using my hands as props to symbolize movement. While I was doing my "episodes" I became completely unaware of the world around me and became fully consumed in my fantasy TV show I was playing out. Episodes usually lasted at least an hour, sometimes more, and there were constantly ongoing arcs and storylines. When I got a bit older (10 to 14) I started adding more structure into my episodes, playing "imaginary Pokemon" with my brother which was basically us larping as Pokemon trainers with consistent rules and an ongoing story where we caught new Pokemon and tried to win every Pokemon league. I slowly stopped doing episodes as a got older as it was super weird to other people, starting with doing episodes fully in my head and then not at all.
However, my more traditional stimming including moaning, speaking in gibberish, flailing my arms around, and contorting my body only happens when I get significantly stressed and tension builds up in my chest. I can try to resist it if I try hard enough both otherwise I can't control my stimms at all. It feels like my brain is fried and I can't process sentences properly. It's horrible. Otherwise I act completely normally outside of when I'm stressed if a bit awkward.
As someone who stims myself, all these people are very clearly faking their stims. The girl with the black lipstick is probably the only really mentally ill one. She just seems completely insane and disturbed, possibly demon possessed. And people usually fake DID because they think it's "cool" or something. IDK the idea that multiple people live inside you and all share one body is a cool concept that a lot of media, even media aimed at kids, sensationalizes and glorifies. Only problem is that it exists in real life and is a serious mental disorder. So a lot of kids pretend they have DID so they can live out their fantasy of having themselves, their OCs, and even existing fictional characters all share the same body so they can roleplay as them. It's also used for gender exploration, so yeah. It's all just pretend roleplaying, these kids just put of a mask of "DID" to have their roleplaying have "legitimacy." Which is wrong since DID is a real thing and their game of pretend just serves to further make a joke out of DID and delegitimizes real mental illness.
What you're describing is maladaptive daydreaming, my friend.
I used to act out shows and movies like you too, it stopped when I was 9 though. Now I just wiggle my fingers
My younger brother (very affected by his autism) does this sort of acting out thing too. Interesting
i hate the people who fetishize it with a burning passion
I used to act like the games and until i realized I CRINGED FROM REALIZATION and not just it i started to avoid making friends they the actual thing is autism isnt some kind of WOWOWOWOEOWOEWOEOWOEOW thing where you swings your limbs its mainly social difficulties and poor emotional controls and unexpected behaviors that even autistic people doesnt feel it how i stim is most likely making music hitting stuff to make sounds and combining to make a music
As a zoomer I can confirm im not anything like them. I genuinely have autism and adhd and also ptsd and it sickens me to see people faking it
Dude, it sucks. My PTSD stems from being emotionally abused in school by teachers and students and just hearing about the teachers name or someone telling what to do, someone even remotely acts like any teacher I just can’t do it. I leave the room and distract myself from it. Again, you don’t want it
As an autistic person myself this leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. A feeling I can’t ever explain but I just want people to stop using MY disorders for clout and attention. They don’t go through the same stuff I do on a daily basis and they don’t deserve that attention.
Seriously tho. I’m not saying autisim is bad. Paired with other disorders I have such as adhd and mesaphonia though life can get difficult. And to see people just taking the glory without the struggle hurts. Many people suffer every day from serious disorders. This part is only directed towards these disorder fakers. You are never going to be quirky or cute for faking disorders. It makes you look stupid so just stop.
As an autistic girl as well, it’s disgusting how the girl in the first tiktok over exaggerated stimming by jumping nonstop and rocking back and forth violently just for tiktok clout. There’s a lot of actual autistics on that app that would call people out like that, so at least there’s a minority of decent people in the platform.
If these people who haven’t seen their dad since childbirth got a disorder for a month, they would have to go through being infantilized, ableism, and masking, and they would wish they were neurotypical again.
It's almost like not all autistic people are the same or something. That girl isnt faking. He had the literal definition of stims pulled up for you, a definition that does not invalidate her stims, and yall still call her a faker when she isn't.
"A feeling I can't ever explain but I just want people to stop using MY disorders for color and attention."
I think you explained it pretty well on the surface.
There are several other frustrations I think that they're just trampling the internet with:
-It's appropriation of a disability
-They want to glamorise and popularise the disability NOT for the disability, but for their own benefit
-By stealing and glamorising YOUR disability, they prove themselves non-genuine and misrepresent the disability, often stigmatizing it
-Even though it's painfully obvious to you, what they're doing, social constraints determine that you're the bad guy if you complain about it.
-"Oohhh, you must be just like 'the good doctor' or 'Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory' "
-It's the same principle with 'R U OK' day and all that other shit.
Mainstream society would do better if it's leaders and great powers never put too much focus into one thing, but mainstream society can't fucking help itself as it throws a blanket response at an issue and then bathes in the praise that gets thrown at it for 'coming in to save the day'. Yet nothing changed.
My point again. You have the words. My suggestion when we struggle to find exactly what to say it's too break it down into smaller pieces. It's the type of web that won't allow you to cut the strings, because they're all tangled together.
@@hmmm348 YES! Thank you, I struggle with putting negative feelings into words but you got most of my complaints in a nutshell.
I feel so bad for people who actually have DID, nobody's gonna take them seriously now.

very true! When I see my "on this day" on facebook from when I was a teen I cringe at random weird things I say that makes no sense and wonder who let me have internet access 🤣🤣
As an autistic person. People like this make me want to use roblox's reset feature on myself. My life was literally ruined by an entire schoolboard simply because I have autism.
One thing I’ve noticed with ppl who actually have did is that their alters will have different voices, it’s a pretty good way to tell if someone is faking it
Another way to know they’re faking: Practically No one with a mental disorder would record themselves doing these things.
Fo you mean nor because here i see a lit of vouce changes
Voice isn't the best way of telling really. Some tiktokers put in the effort into making different voices :/
What I would say is important is if said voices are consistent across all tiktoks. And I've also noticed that people with actual DID change body language fully too.
That's why I think the girl with the butterfly hairclips was legit
@@cilantroe tbh I think she's fake tho. Her body language was the exact same for every single alter. The same hand and shoulder movements when expressing their opinion about the taste. I feel like that's unrealistic if the person actually has did
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult (34) and I want to know just how anyone thought it involved ticking and twitching violently, and smacking yourself in the head. What it ACTUALLY is, is disorganisation, the inability to concentrate, struggling to finish tasks, forgetfulness and tuning out. It does make life a bit more challenging, yes. But ADHD sufferers actually thrive in many situations and are very competent in chaotic or creative environments and professions. It's monotony, processes and rules that drive us crazy, so we do tend to struggle in a society that revolves around those things. It takes a lot of discipline to do the small things everyone else seems capable of doing. But we are NOT sitting there smacking ourselves in the head. How insulting and what a joke.
Okay I see your point but to be fair I have ADHD and I have severe tics and that includes hitting the back of my head against a wall. It's not impossible for ADHD people to have tics and ones that hurt yourself but I've found in my experience it isn't as common as it is in other disorders
Thanks for clearing that up, wish more people read this x
One day my sister started to f****** cry cuz she couldn't remember one Mom I just told her second ago these people are part of my own generation a making a mockery out of my and my sisters disorders and it orderly pisses me the f*** off
@@Chloe-K9 thats not because of your adhd you might have tourette instead.
Can confirm. My worst part about ADHD isn’t even the regular symptoms, but it REALLY deeply bothers me that with ADHD despite being empathetic, my displayed affect and emotions don’t directly reflect my internal feelings. I think it’s caused misunderstanding. Also how accidentally interrupting and constantly apologizing has deeply ingrained in my personality now.
As some who was officially diagnosed with ADHD I hate people faking it to be quirky. Its not as fun as they think, and it's so hard trying to watch them try and fake having it.
Exactly I have ADHD as well plus severe manic depression, so I hit bottom low that then brings on these crazy manic episodes of both. And people don’t realize how excruciatingly painful mentally symptoms physically to even just try to get through your day with ADHD and depression and I get so mad because it’s like I’m glad you guys think it’s cute and funny but this is a real thing. And it really pisses me off sometimes.
I hate it, it causes me to procrastinate so much. Like now, for instance. I have a paper i have to write and I just can't bring myself to start it and am constantly getting distracted
@@Kris_szefI have ADHD myself and did this often enough to my brother who also has ADHD so I can feel your comment but he also did this often enough to me

I can’t stand that I’m Gen Z…. An elder if you will. Born in 98. This is so cringe
I once had the opportunity to temporarily be acquaintances with a person who had DID. I only met 3 of her alters and none of them were twitchy or acted anything like these people. I didn’t even know she had DID until she asked me what my name was and seemed like a completely different person after we met just a few days prior. To her it wasn’t a thing to brag about and extort for popularity. I never saw her switch but she always described it as mostly an unpleasant experience and that she’d never willingly want to switch especially if she was in the middle of doing essay research or having a discussion with someone. Even tho I wasn’t close with her (I only knew her for a little less than a month) and don’t really keep in touch with her, it makes me so irritated to see these people faking it because they create such a negative stigma around those who truly have it and might make them want to hide it due to embarrassment from how Emily from tiktok pretended to have 127 alters and all the mental illnesses known to man presents her fake DID

(READ THE WHOLE THING PROPERLY BEFORE COMMENTING)
As a person who stims, shaking your hands & arms is a common way to stim. I usually shake my hands a lot when I’m really happy.
Also people almost never stim in public. There is a thing called “masking” & that where autistic (also other nerodivergent people) people hide their autistic traits in public. That’s why you hardly see people stim in public. It’s a thing you usually do alone to express & deal with strong emotions. People will look at you weirdly or sometimes even bully you if you don’t mask.
Edit: also stiming can be anything. It can be super casual like bouncing your leg. It can also be violently shaking your arms. Different people have different ways to stim.
Edit 2: The person could still be faking, I’m not saying they aren’t. It’s easy to fake stims. I was just pointing out that it’s not a weird way to stim like that. I get how people think that me writing “It really doesn’t look like they are faking to me” is a way of saying they aren’t faking. I get that, & it was wrong of me. I meant it as another way to say it doesn’t look unusual to me.
Edit 3: I just wanted to explain that I wrote the comment because Pegasus said something along the lines of “You shake your arms violently & call it a stim” because shaking your arms violently could be a stim. It’s a similar way to how I stim sometimes. I also explained why you usually don’t see people do that in public. It’s still kinda weird to record it though. Also if you are going to comment something like “I know this person & they stim in public” I just wanted to say of course that could happen. That’s why I used words like “hardly”, “usually” & “almost” when talking about masking. There are exceptions to everything, I was just explaining how people usually mask in public & what masking was & how that effects how little you see of people stiming in public. I wrote the comment to explain things that he said, not saying that the person wasn’t faking. I’m not a random hater or anything, I’m actually a fan of Pegasus & have been watching him for a long time. I just wanted to educate him & others of what I know.
Thank you for putting this type of thing into words for me. I'm a completely normal well functioning adult in public if a little awkward, but at home I'm completely different when it comes to things like making weird noises and saying random things and making weird faces lol
Yeah, people with ADHD mask as well. It's a thing across all neurodivergencies.
No one who is neurodivergent WANTS to be noticed for it.
I stim by doing the keemstar scream
@u know me shut up
I just found out about this thing 8 minutes ago, i also have a weird habit of shaking my head or legs unconsciously for along period, i just thought it was something i do but i wouldn't just go and call it a mental illness just because it's similar to one unless a doctor tells me i do
Watching these clowns faking them really hurts my head
I HATE HOW I HAVE ADHD AND AM A GEN Z AND SEE THESE PEOPLE FAKING DISORDERS AND THINGS. LIKE, I STIM AND STIMMING IS NOT JUMPIG ON THE BED AND HAVING FUN LIKE WTH😟😨🤨
I also have anxiety and I don’t get why people want to not want to leave their room, or eat, OR even SHOWER. Like with ADHD too? You can’t even pay attention without moving in your seat, being told to stop being annoying, AND having people not like you because you’re “weird” for stimming or going non verbal because of overstimulation.
I have a bad tic disorder, but I don't try to call attention to it. It can get worse at times, where it draws a lot of attention to me, but I try and go about my day without mentioning it. But what I really don't understand is when people try and post about it. Like, my tics aren't consistent. Somedays it'll be really bad, some days I don't get it at all. You can't pinpoint and record it, and when people claim to do that, it just really upsets me...
@@saharafisher969 yea that’s really true because usually for most people tics or things like that aren’t timed
Its hurtful to see people faking disorders people are born with. I have ASD and seeing people fake stim feels weird, it makes me think to myself "If I ever stim around people, will people think im faking?" It makes me feel worried that I might be accused of faking if I told someome I have ASD, and it's happened before.
*I have epilepsy, and some people have said I was faking seizures.*
Luckily, I have complex-partial seizures, so I don’t convulse on the floor. During my seizures, my brain shuts off, but my body keeps going. So, I don’t know what’s going on around me until I come out of my seizure.
As soon as I saw this video, I needed to research the people in it. I'm a psychologist and recognized a problem. Pegasus, the commenter didn't research these people to find out if they were being truthful. I do know for a fact that most of these people are legit neurodivergent. They actually do suffer from mental health issues. Pegasus obviously doesn't know or have a deep understanding of what these disorders are, or what they look like. Therefore, what came out of his mouth was so disrespectful to the entire neurodivergent community. Please, do not get mad at everyone in this video and do your own research before jumping to conclusions.
Have a better day.
These people will never know how hard it is to live with a disability, especially a hidden one.
This is the reason nobody takes us seriously. As someone diagnosed with autism since the age of three, this is disgusting and is just an evolution of mocking the "special kids".
I am autistic too and I regret seeing tiktok
I know I don’t have something, which limits my life as much as something visible or which makes studies and social interraction difficult. But I have PTSD and I can’t imagine how pissed I’d be if someone acting like having it for Attention. Sorry guys.

Exactly! It's not funny or cool. Refusing to eat because you're so stick to your stomach from racing thoughts that come from anywhere at any times, cancelling plans, running away from situations/making in-depth plans so you'll have control, uncontrollable shaking, and other horrible things isn't a fun game. Yet to these people it is.
As a grandmother of 2 grandkids who “stim” due to Asperger’s Syndrome, I’m offended by these fakers!! Often stimming is an almost unnoticeable repetitive movement, or at least a very minimal movement of hands or feet. These are just ridiculous 🤦🏻♀️🤯😤
Never gonna give my cheese
Never gonna let you eat, some cheese
This people think that only autistic people stim. Just because you stim doesn’t mean you have autism!!
You are a good grandmother, thank you.
I'm like 90% sure that skimming and switching "alters" is something you can't do on command. Also isn't DID really rare?
Stimming you can control most of the time(atleast in my case, I also make new stims alot since I might have pent up energy to tic but I cant tic so I have to stim), but as someone with multiple friends with DID, only one of them can really switch on command but it takes effort, its not just like "hey XYZ, front" and they XYZ is like "okay!" and boom they switch
DID is really rare and also tends to only show in adults around the age of 30 and more. So imagine my surprise when there’s a whole community on TikTok with DID who are all super young teenagers and kids. How rare.
Stimming you do on command and have control over, but that doesnt make it particularly enjoyable. Just a way to cope with emotions that are too intense. If I can, I will most definitely stim in the least noticeable way possible, or dont at all. Its easy as that. Great way to firgure out if someone is faking autism and/or adhd - they make stimming as noticeable as possible. Respectfully, someone actually diagnosed with autism and adhd.
Its extremely rare. .01% of 1%
Yup you can’t switch on command usually and they always forget there is amnesia involved with DID especially when you are younger (20-ish). Most don’t recognize they even have it until much later if life. It’s not fun and quirky thing to have from people I’ve seen who really have it. It’s terrifying having the amnesia and not remember what you just did for days or weeks before. This is what I’ve heard from other DID creators who had UA-cam channels way before it became trendy on tiktok. The tiktok DID crowd is nothing like I’ve seen any other DID creator act.
From my personal experience with depression, PTSD (medically diagnosed by a DOCTOR) I prefer to not share my illnesses, I WANT to overcome them, I don't want someone to associate with me as "mentally ill" I want someone to associate with me for my talents and strengths. I mean honestly who's WANT to have this?! It can be devasting.
fr, none of my friends know anything about my mental state and i’d like to keep it that way, i don’t like sharing random shit to my friends
Ikr like I don't have it posted up on my profile that I'm chronically ill and mentally ill. Like I'm more than my illnesses so why would I. Ffs.
And it's obvious i have mental illness so i guess there's no hidig aspect. Everyone that ik knows about my abuse or at least can think and figure it out, so i would rather preemptively explain myself
as someone with a lot of these disorders, I despise these people.

I am the same way and I 100% agree with you.
"knows people who have autism" you didnt have to add that 💀-a (diagnosed) autistic person
My mother is a therapist that often works with children. Sometimes I ask her about her work (I find that stuff interesting) and she told me about DID. She said that it was small, unnoticeable changes when a different side is out. It would be like, for example, someone would often put their hair in braids if the angry side is out. You can barely notice it, and it’s not like they are all people. The different sides are mostly based on the emotion, you also wouldn’t realize you had DID unless you were properly diagnosed and you definitely wouldn’t name your different sides.
Exactly, on top of that there are different types of DID, in one type the different personalities have no idea the others exist. It's also pretty rare in terms of psychological disorders.
THIS!!
Point on! I know people who have lived with DID many years (diagnosed). It took ages to figure out the little “tells” of different personalities.
And the people afflicted never knew which personality had come out. They couldn’t do it on a whim. They only learned of the other sites after intense therapy and because they had memory breaks and would see odd things happen in the house.
One woman honestly though she had an intruder that kept coming back to her house because things were misplaced. Another couldn’t figure out why she had 11 bags of sugar (each personality got keyed in on that sugar was needed so they all bought some during the week).
These tik toc’ers are really something. Sad.
Yes! Exactly! Someone please show this to that fake Dissasociadid.

I’m epileptic, and I had to be homeschooled because I’d undress or wet myself in front of a bunch of people during seizures. But luckily, my friends knew it was a seizure, so they’d sit me down and help me from taking off my clothes.
Also, in the middle of the night, my hubby said I just stood up on the bed and faced the headboard. Luckily, he was able to catch me from falling.
i have hyperactive adhd and this is basically the shit i do to get my pointless energy and anger out without being destructive and omfg the embarrassment i feel watching this from the outside perspective... honestly think this has cured my adhd...
I'm upset, because I have a brother who has diagnosed autism and he actually stims when angry or extremely happy. But even I know that he doesn't just do that randomly or when in front of a camera.
As an autistic person I hate the word stim it makes the activity sound “fun and quirky” which is why this exact behaviour has developed. The behaviour should be called by what it was always called “involuntary action or behaviour” it makes it not sound fun or quirky it makes it sound exactly like it is rather unpleasant actions you can control or help.
Bro these tiktok kids are capping so hard, i go to a special ed school and no way in hell would they set up a camera just to show the “stim” shit off. Also most of them are extremely socially distanced (not covid lol) from others. They are overall very nice and smart people, unlike these braindead tiktokkers.
And that reminds me about this kid named stephan in elementary, he was the best kid ever and he had autism, very noticeable. He never acted like one of these annoying kids
The word is used by people who want it to sound quirky and fun, so now you think of it like that. It wasn’t supposed to sound fun. The definition of stim is a repetitive movement, and “involuntary actions or behaviors” still wouldn’t be right because stimming isn’t always involuntary, and this could be used for tics too. I stim voluntary when I’m not paying attention, even if I don’t notice
The reason why the behavior has developed isn’t because of the word but it’s because people want to feel special and different. Panic attacks don’t sound fun or quirky, but people still fake them for clout. Schizophrenia doesn’t sound fun or quirky, but people still fake them. Tourrettes sounds terrifying, but we got Emerald Rose. Stimming doesn’t sound quirky or fun, but we’ve got people like this
And they only ever want the parts of the disorder that don’t complicate and ruin their quality of life…
and since they post all this weird shit and get attention, it sets in idea in the people that see it saying "this is how the people with the disorder act" which creates some really gross stereotypes and makes the lives of those who suffer from it so much worse.
They know what their doing.
This right here! They'll pretend everything, but they know damn well they don't go through the stuff we do. Asked some tiktok idiot once WHY they would want adhd when it has caused me so many troubles like; Made me think I was a stupid child before I got medication, made me fall behind academically as a kid, makes me more prone to procrastination, makes me VERY sensory sensitive, ect, of course it has it's perks like being able to hyperfocus on things, but other than that why would someone want to struggle like that just for attention?????
Its sad, bc some people are getting hate for actually having DID, Anxiety, depression, ect. They are being called fake when they are diagnosed by a doctor
Edit: Holy Fucking Shit, I didnt think this would blow up. 281 likes and 11 comments, I didnt get any notification
I dont wanna name her but she have tics and people say she fakes it cause a lot of people fake it now days
@@u-x-m-a Yeah, i think i know who you're talking about
@@u-x-m-a I know who your talking about, they run a yarn business or something don't they?
@@QUBIQUBED nope she is a celeb
@@QUBIQUBED most likely Sweet Anita, the streamer. Tics and Roses, that was their name I believe, was most definitely faking it.
I once knew someone like this. Never wanted to speak to them, they faked DID but always had the same personality but just had a different name. They said they didn't believe in god but a month later they showed up wearing a headscarf claiming to have always been Muslim, after a few weeks they sropped. Also claimed to be able to speak with mother nature through the wind. I wish i was joking.
As someone who suffers from tics, these things are so unbelievable because they don’t just appear for TikTok and a lot of the time they are the same tic for a while, not a compilation of random movements for 10 seconds…
I think stimming and tics are two very different things. That being said the people in this video are probably faking whatever they are doing.
Yeah I agree , I have Tourette’s and my tics have changed over the years but not very suddenly like that.
As a gen z. I am truly dissapointed at wtf happend in this generation

I love how those „DID” tiktokers:
1. Are so many although DID is extremaly and i mean extremaly rare
2. All of them has fuckzillions of alters when most DID patients usually has 1 and having more than one is considered abnormality. Imagine being abnormality to abnormality - chances for that are really close to 0
Too much Split lmao
It's not extremely rare, at all. But it would be extremely rare that all these mfkrs on tic Tok have it
@@chinesekungfu2031 people with DID are 1.1-1.5% of entire Population, it is extremely rare. Average number of personalities is 2-4 (counting your original self) and during the psychiatric treatment this number can be rising but let’s remember that only about 3% of people with DID get their treatment which means that having an average of let’s say 10 personalities as TikTok „stars” present it is vert very inaccurate and again is extremely rare in real life
Edit: well it’s still a big number compared to the 80’s DID rate which is estimated to be around 0.01% and only around 40.000 people were diagnosed till the end of 20th century.
Most systems have between 5-14 alters, some may have more, some may have less but when it starts getting into the 50s and above naw that's sketchy. Especially the people with 100+ alters like wtf 😭😭
@@4cid_pawzz it's definitely possible unfortunately
As a gen x, I've never been more convinced that all those years of "pulling out" was the right choice, 🤣💯
my mom's ex was 40 with diagnosed did, and up until he died, I had NO idea he had did. He had 3 alters (I forgot their names) and even he didn't know until he was older, a LOT older. Nobody who fronted made it know, or obvious. Plus he didn't make it his entire personality. So, I'm not saying these guys are 100% faking, but medically, more than 20 alters, especially for people under 18, is not very likely lol
They are 100% faking. It’s really a matter of; how many times do you lie to yourself until you start to believe the lie. These dumb ass kids need to be ab-so-lutely rehabilitated. Smash their phone, bar them from social media and send them off to contribute something to society other than splurging on TikTok. Lol. This shit is truly a sign of the times. Sad as fk. Faking mental disorders to get clout. Jesus.
I guess you could say “he didn’t know he DID!” *badum-tss!* but in all seriousness tho that is really sad and eye-opening
I don't know how much alters she has rn, but I know a French UA-camr (ThePeculiarClub) that has a lot. Not above 30 though, I'm sure. But, she is genuine and she has to be 21/22 yo. So, I think it's possible, depending on the amount and intensity of traumas the person has been going through.
@@Emoniie lmao imagine believing that
@@redpilledfag Bruh she is diagnosed, if you knew her you would have never said that. She was forced to show her diagnostic because of people like you. And she went on TEDex talks.
Simba: What's that shadowy place over there?
Mufasa: That's TikTok. You must never go there.
As an autistic myself my only stim is rocking, stimming rarely looks anything like what these people who fake disorders do
As someone who is autistic this shit makes me cry. It really does because the thing I fear most is people finding out I have autism so I constantly try and mask it so they do not think I'm anything like these gross fucks in these videos. It's so embarrassing and I don't think I will ever feel comfortable with being autistic because of these people, never ever and it sucks so god damn much.
I wish the people who want autism so bad and fake all of it could have just had it instead of me, because I just want to be treated like a normal person by the people who know that I have it since I'm constantly treated like a little kid (but that wont change due to the way these people act in these videos since they get to much attention and reinforce the idea of autistic people acting like children).
Yeah these mofos can take my ADHD lmao, I would drown 10 people if it meant being mentally stable. Now excuse me while I finish 12 assignments that are almost overdue because apparently that's quirky and totally not stressful and anxiety inducing.
Hang in there buddy. I knew someone with a disorder and I never thought of them as some kind of lesser being. I loved them as my friend.
Seeing these people makes me sick.
@@randomauthor768 Thank you. Your words mean a lot because people like you have done so much for me after I spent most of my life feeling so out of place for something and I never knew what it was

@@anarchyalien2279 just keep being yourself, my man. Don't let people bring you down with spiteful words.
1:00 as a guy with autism, this basically a mockery of stimming, I have seen people who stim extremely before (as in like they act very unusual) but like that is extremely exaugurated. How I stim personally is based on my tics. I have been diagnosed with an eye tick, and a hand tick, and i tend to do my hand tic very often, like literally every few seconds, and somehow now my stim is basically my tic, my hand tends to tic more often when i stim. I honestly can't describe my hand tick it's very weird.
7:00 that's literally not how tics work, there are multiple types of tics, some being what my doctor calls "aggressive tics" which is tics that happen very often and you can't control and you dislike. there are other ones i honestly forgot the names to them but tics in general don't happen like every 1 second i assume. I can't say for everyone with tics because idk what extreme tics look like, and I personally never had it myself but i think it's VERY convenient for you to both have ADHD, have extreme tics that so happen to hit your head every second just for the camera
Autism people like me doesnt stim in front of everyone and not recording to prove myself as autistic for fuck sake my generation is messed up
As an autistic person, I actually stim somewhat like that (the 1:00 one). Stims can be exaggerated like that, and I've stimmed excessively, my autistic stepbrother has stimmed excessively, and so on.
I need to come clean. I was faking being funny for last 5 years.
we trusted u 😔😔😔
HOW COULD YOU?!? THATS TOO FAR!!!
That’s disgusting.
It’s ok, me too dude.
Prepare for cringe below.
W-wha-what?? W-we.. we tru-trusted y-ou.. you! I-i-m a-a f-furry m-m-m-minor with t-tics and a-a-autism a-and stu-stutters!!! How c-could you?! ÆæÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆĀaeaeaeaeaeaeaeeaeaea UWUuwuwuwu
I recently was diagnosed with level 1 autism (Asperger’s) and it’s not fun to have at all. I can’t have a normal conversation with anyone since I’ll end up talking only about myself or the other person/people will have explain jokes so, this sometimes causes me to be an outcast. I have had a complete breakdown over the texture of pumpkin guts. I refuse to eat 90% of foods because of texture and will freak out when I eat those foods. So having these people think it’s “cute” or “fun” to have disorders, whether it be autism or not is disgusting and quite frankly, rude and inconsiderate of people with said disorders. It. Is. Not. I wish people would stop faking it.
As an autistic person I find it really difficult to cope with it. But idiots on the internet are making me feel like I’m the idiot
Seriously though, as someone with HF autism, these idiots gave me second-hand embarrassment.
Don’t worry, your not the idiot. No one will blame you, your the one who is telling the truth
Autism is just a label, your not the one who needs to cope, it's the people labeling you that need to cope, labeling is literally a coping mechanism.

As a person with ADHD, ADHD does not make you become a helicopter, the most ive done is just bounce my legs and tap on something
true
I have a friend with it, and all she needs to do is tap to something or distract herself from a situation somehow. Never seen her become a helicopter and I’ve known her for five years
Exactly! Same with me.

I'm autistic and literally the way tiktok infantilizes us is so fucking infuriating. A lot of us don't even like stimming around people? Even then we don't fucking flap our hands and jump around. Being autistic is stressful, there's a lot of things that I can't do or need done in a very specific way or I'll stress tf out.
Well said
very specific. so specific in fact if 1 thing is outta place. we stress
9:33 funny how every alter speaks in the exact same way. Has the same mannerisms. And chews exactly the same.
Real stimming: hitting knuckles together when nobody sees. Swinging from side to side when standing. Shaking hands very slightly when super excited. Walking back and forth
Fake stimming: shaking the t-rex arms strongly. Moving every limb at max
Not going to lie to you I did not know this existed but I do every single one of these on the real stimming did not even know stimming was a thing
Frrrrrrr I’m diagnosed with autism and I’ve never done any of the fake ones neither have any autistic people I’ve met
You do realise that stimming is different for everyone? Not everyone is going to stim the way you deem to be “right” 😐
I don’t know about the chick in the video but I have a non-verbal autistic nephew and he swings his arms around and jumps when excited. Don’t talk about shit you don’t know nothing about. Not all autistic people stim the same way.
@@elenalytical
wrong
its like sex.
not everyone does it the same way.
but you can tell without a doubt if an orgasm is fake.
