Note for you Ablaze What they meant by "OC's" is original characters! Basically characters someone makes and writes/roleplays as. Don't think they meant OCD lol
I was confused then thought it was a bit funny. I mean not everyone knows what it means. That or he read it too fast or with the content thought it was misspelled or something.
You can't think you're like Wednesday Adams while recording your identity crisis and throwing out slang hip words "lowkey" trying to fit in with the youths that accept fake stemming. Super un-Wednesday vibes.
I feel so bad for famous people that are awkward and then get called "autistic" by random teenagers online. That's gotta be hurtful for those who are just awkward and don't have autism.
Why would it be hurtful? There’s nothing bad about being autistic, so there shouldn’t be any hurt feelings if someone thinks you’re autistic, whether you actually are or aren’t.
Lol most of our autistic group chat on instagram saw Wednesdays traits we dont think jenna is autistic just that they made her charicter with exsisive autistic traits and im a 33 year old autistic with adhd
Imagine waking up one day as a famous person and being so confused why there's a bunch of articles claiming you have some illness overnight. Gotta be really confusing and upsetting
And as soon as the hype dies down, all of them will forget her. As if she was not the least relatable character, in the whole Addams Family franchise, befor this Netflix madness.
I don’t think these people understand that you can identify with a character that doesn’t have their disorders. Do they even know what a personality trait is?
oh my lord. a customer at work told me i was "safe to stim around them" as I was waiting for them to pay for their stuff, and ususally i do make weird clasping motions with my hand, dunno why. i just do. i went "excuse me?" "oh were you not stimming there?" "??? what" "well maybe don't do that, it's insensitive to people who are ACTUALLY autistic" and stormed off, following day put in a complaint against me calling me unfit to work with people. 😅
Autistic people aren't the only ones who stim It's seen in adhd and anxiety and even neurotypical people stim to an extent Stimming is not an exclusive thing
I swear to fuck as soon as I saw Wednesday I got so worried because I know this generation. Fucks sake. People are acting like Wednesday is Jenna Ortega’s whole personality That they have Wednesday altars That they are in fact Wednesday Addams themselves And that they have new personalities after the show and also they’re making the show out to be racist and probably assume a bunch of other weird shit about the characters and Wednesday. I’ve loved the Addam’s family ever since I was little (I first saw the 90s movies) and I was obsessed but I never took it this serious. I thought I was Wednesday because I was 9. I’m 20 now, and there’s people my age and older acting like they’re Wednesday Addams and faking disorders. Holy shit. I don’t usually leave huge comments like this but I love the Addams family and this is really just not shocking but severely annoying.
My dad told me today that even doctors can't diagnose themselves. Doctors need to go to other doctors, so what makes you think you can diagnose yourself?
@@StarDustwolf77 no, that’s not what it is. You can say you MIGHT have a disorder but once you say I have a disorder without getting a real diagnosis from a licensed doctor is when it becomes a self-diagnosis.
I remember when I saw the matrix for the first time, I thought I could run on walls and dodge bullets. So glad I didn't have a camera to record myself and put it online for everyone to see.
I was waiting for this lol how many of these fakers do you think have "Wednesday alters" all of a sudden? Convenient goth girl alter for their DID aesthetic lol they're worse than the Tumblr girls in 2007 🤣🤣
The headcannoning (saying Wensday is autistic) isn’t that big of a deal. You see that type of stuff in fandom all the time, generally it just effects fanfiction and art . But it crosses a line when they try to head cannon real people like the actor. Also OC means original character. They are saying that their brain turned the characters they made up real, which is suspicious at the least.
My thoughts exactly. Although I don’t think it’s sensible to headcanon _Wednesday_ of all characters as autistic, at least it doesn’t involve a real person. I’m actually autistic and I still remember someone on Twitter (so glad I left) headcanoning _me_ as 4’11 and calling me “smol” because, due to the infantilization of autistic people online, they thought that my _actual height_ (5’7) didn’t fit me. Meanwhile, headcanoning a fictional character’s height is perfectly acceptable since they’re not self-aware and many don’t have canon heights anyways. It’s basically the same thing but with mental attributes…
I don't mind the headcanoning thing but people tend to head canon Wednesday as autistic because of a harmful stereotype of autism which is autistic people being emotionless, heartless, and cold. While those can be signs, not every autistic person is like that but a majority of the people I've seen who headcanon her as autistic believe that all autistic people are like that
FUN FACT: Autism diagnosis can be tricky by the fact that traits of autism are pretty common on people with ADHD, social anxiety, introverts and even neurotypical people. The difference is how it affects your daily life, that's the importance of seeking professional health because therapy can help, but If it is misdiagnosed (which most self diagnosed people are) you won't have the correct therapy and it's just a waste of time.
What people think self diagnosis is: (Sees a video of someone stimming) "Omg same" What it actually is (Sees a video of an autistic person talking about their experience) "Wow I really relate to this, I'm gonna analyze myself and all of my past experiences and only partake in exclusively autistic themed content for several months to decide whether or not I'm faking it so I can't gaslight myself anymore"
@@Homesicktraveler i understand what you are saying. But you kinda miss one part. I, for example thought I had severe social anxiety I didn't self diagnose myself even though I was pretty sure I had it. After a lot happened a therapist was needed and diagnosed me with autism among other stuff. One thing Is saying "I relate to this", "I have symptoms of...", "I think I have" etc. I don't think it's ok to say openly you have something you think or are pretty sure you are. If you are not diagnosed professionally, don't say "I have"
I think the most important difference is: people with actual autism (or other issues that may trouble their daily life) seek help to master their life a bit better, while self-diagnozers don't seek help...since it's only for attention online so seeking help wouldn't be a good idea. I think this is something people don't talk about as much as we probably should...
this shit, sadly is not a new thing or a genZ thing, before tiktok and all, we had millennials and genXers faking being autistic, or having tourettes, on blogs, then when youtube came out, tumblr was and still is being for ths crap, the big thing was to fake or milk autism and similar for attention and ass-pats, in fact a very notable faker was genX, amanda baggs, Shelly H ( used to have a youtube channel called droooopy ) faked being severely autistic among many other ''disorders'' for years, also Michelle Dawson, and a few others who were in the spotlight off and on as '' brave advocates'' for the disabled community ( gags) ,
That girl has no idea what having a schizophrenic episode is. You don't know it's happening, it's delusion. My dad has schizophrenia so I know how it looks and what it is
I'm schizophrenic so was my dad who is now dead from a drug OD to self medication to make the voices stop. I also have a brother with it. Unfortunately it's genic passed down from my grandmother on my mom's side. I'm on some heavy meds I also suffer from DID anxiety PTSD. OcD and depression in total I take 11 psych meds I'm 38 with 2 kids I'm no longer ashamed of who I am but it's taken years. I suffer from auditory hallucinations mostly and they get worse the more anxious I get or stressed it caused me to lose jobs , friends, relationships. Mental illness is nothing to joke about. I lost my dad because he also had DID which. Back then was known as Multiple personality disorder mental illness took his life 11 years ago this coming June and I found him 5 days after my 29th birthday. These kids who fake this have no idea the damage they are causing! I hope your dad and you are doing well!
@@mooma10 Thank you💗 With a good med regiment and therapy my mental health is pretty well handled now but its taken years. Meds have changed over the years and mental health help has gotten a little better since I was a child. I just wish kids now a days woumd get more attention from their parents and I have 2 teenagers so I know how important it is to keep an eye on what they are watching and posting!
@@faithmichelle8478 fun fact: David Bowie also had schizophrenia (everything I’ve learned about the disorder was from writing a 15 page essay about him. He’s my personal hero and learning about his family history only made me love him more). Bowie’s aunts and older half brother all had schizophrenia and his brother’s was WAY worse since he was in the army so he probably got it triggered from the shit he went through. There’s some documentaries and books about it out there that I really recommend.
My hair is blue underneath and on behalf of us normal colored hair people I say these people need to stop lmao I don’t want people to think I’m insane when they meet me cause of these people
Agree. I have uv green hair. (But in need for a bleach and dye atm.) Im a metalhead/goth. I've dyed my hair in crazy colours before many of those kids were born. (Yes, Im millennial.)
When will these people learn that most movie and tv writers make the characters to where the audience can connect with them and identify them in some way? It’s like Zodiac signs. They’re so vague so they can relate to literally every person.
The whole Wednesday thing is killing me.. I'm autistic and on TikTok and I just made a video about how people headcannoning Wednesday as autistic is literally going against everything we're advocating for. Society is constantly trying to portray us as cold, calculated, violent people, and we keep saying 'no, that's not us' but suddenly with Wednesday, now it is? Not only that but we're constantly trying to advocate for people not saying things like "you don't seem autistic", But then we're looking at characters on TV that aren't explicitly autistic and saying that they 'seem' autistic... I don't get it. Like I know that representation is important but autistic people are doing exactly what we don't want neurotypical people to do
I think it's different bc of this. People say others don't seem autistic because when they picture an autistic person they picture someone who is unable to take care of themselves. Maybe nonverbal, they have certain physical traits, people who are unable to mask. It's offensive to say someone isn't autistic because it invalidates their experiences and makes it seem like autistic ppl only fit into that box. With people headcanning Wednesday, people are seeing the same traits that they exhibit and relating or identifying with it. In doing that, it creates a sense of comfort and relatability.
@@gay7261 I guess the way I see it, it's okay to relate to a character without them having the same condition as you. By saying that Wednesday, someone who is cold calculated and violent is autistic you're putting all of those traits on autistic people as well. You can relate to somebody but not relate to everything about them but saying that they have a condition, you're then attributing all of their traits to that condition... A condition that's already very stigmatized, and The people in that community treated as though they are cold and calculated and have no empathy. It's further for perpetuating the stereotype calling her autistic. Wednesday was raised in a very different household and in a very different manner than most people that's what makes her different and other than. It's very easy for autistic people to relate to her because of that, because she doesn't fit in, Like we often don't... It doesn't mean she's autistic though.
Just like Wednesday except brightly colored everything and unable to handle anything without stimming like a child or baby. Where was Wednesday hugging a squishmallow and biting on toys playing with her hands while having the camera there for all to witness? Also i have a theory that this hair dye is seeming into their brains 🧠
i agree with you, except that what those people are doing it's not what stimming looks like. Autistic people sometimes need to stim, they usully won't do it in public, and certainly not filming themselves while doing it, but it can be really releaving during stressfull situations. It can even avoid severe meltdowns if done on time. Stimming is not being a baby or child, it's necessary. Even neurotypical people are doing it. For exemple, when people are shaking their legs when they are sitting while they are nervous, it is a stim to release pressure. Autistic people just needs to stim more. And stimming just doesn't look like what those looney are showing, like not at all. Stimming is not being "special" or "different" like they seem to think, it's part of everybody's life. There is already a huge ignorance around autism and stimming, they are making it worse, they are making mentally ill people ridicule, they are making fun of those who suffer and it's enfuriating.
@@Eledyy_ I don't even know what stimming truly is thanks to tiktok and I probably do it when I have excess energy and I'm 99% sure I did it whenever I'd be manic to just get some sort of release. But even the manic "stim" looked nothing like the 'looneys' on tiktok. It was also distressing as shit and if I was in public it would be my regular nervous habits like clutching my arm except I'd be grabbing snd squeezing hard. Not flipping out like that
@@Eledyy_ yes I’m on the spectrum and have other disabilities my stims r not for camera and don’t look like anything unless you knew. I bring my shirt to my lips constantly I also pick at my cuticles when pensive till they bleed. Occasionally I rock but I’m not aware of that. I carry a fidget but not in a child’s backpack or wear it like a LOOK AT ME situation that’s the difference imo. Especially when they get diagnosed on a Tuesday and suddenly start stimming like they THINK one with autism would it’s very frustrating.
@@Cyntaria i think the best way to define a stim is a repetitive movement that we do for calming (different from a tic which something you can't control). Stimming can be a very odd and unknown word when it describes a very concrete thing. Stims aren't necessary as exagerated as they show it, we don't jump around flapping our arms for 10 minutes like they seem to do. Stimming can be anything : chewing, shaking your leg, taping your fingers, bitting your nail.... and again it is not only for people who have autism. A baby who happily flaps his arms is stimming, even if he is neurotypical and in perfect health. If you guys want to learn more about mental health, please don't look on tik tok. Those kids pretend to educate, but all they do is using your ignorance about mental health to gain attention. There are all using the same arguments : "mental illness is a spectrum, we won't present the same symptoms". Yes sweetie, but if you don't even show a single symptoms of the condition you're pretending to have in a convincing way, it's problematic. Those young people are so mentally unwell, they should really see someone they are in so much delusion...
Self diagnosed... inherited traits....WHOLE FAMILY HAS IT. Meanwhile I'm still trying to figure out who in my family blessed me with the bipolar and ADHD that doctors and psychiatrists spotted while I was destroying my life, not me. The anxiety was trauma based so that's easy to pinpoint at least.🙃
I’ll tell you, I wish I was more like Wednesday for one reason, she really doesn’t give a shit what people think about her and is able to distance herself from people easily- and I kinda wish I had those traits lmao
Recognizing neurodevelopmental disorder traits in family members makes sense when you got a formal diagnosis. My father is going to get assessed this spring for ADHD. If you think you might have a disorder, get assessed. Even if it costs money. You'd treat cancer if you had cancer, wouldn't you? By the way, here in France, some specialists accept to split the bill in monthly payments. If money is the issue, ask if that's possible.
@dex'ost dignity even better! Makes sense you'd have to wait a long time for an assessment if it's free. I feel that when you've struggled your whole life waiting a bit longer to finally get a diagnosis, it is not too hard to do. But then I get why people procrastinate getting the first appointment. It took me a few years. Until my sister / roommate kinda forced my hand because of all the wasted money, dangerous behaviors... I am a hundred times better now that I have ADHD treatment (both meds and therapy)
you're so right! I waited for years to finally be seen at the autism centre at my state's hospital. all the time spent waiting helped getting together all my info and medical records and also gave me time to be evaluated for other things that had to be excluded (like the mandatory brain MRI to search for other things, etc.). as annoying as it is, waiting also helps sort out the people who want a quick trendy diagnosis on the spot. and omg, I am formally dxd and now suddenly my father's whole life makes sense, too, so he's on the waiting list now, which I love cos he has always been the 'weird one' and has been severely depressed his whole life cos no one really understands him. so he can now finally get the help and also make peace with himself!
@@tessachiaragrasl6335 that's great to hear!!! My life got significantly better after my ADHD diagnosis so I don't understand why people don't want to get assessed if they genuinely think they have a disorder. Deep down they know they are faking
@eggegg Yeah, I knew I had ADHD 4 years before my diagnosis. I procrastinated getting that diagnosis for a loooooong time... mostly because it wasn't the priority at the time and was costly, but if I had known I could have monthly payments, I might have done it earlier
As someone who has been diagnosed with Autism & Dyslexia by a DOCTOR as a toddler (I didn't say my first word until I was around 4 due to medical issues), while also having coloured hair (blue & green) watching these people fake diagnose THEMSELVES is pretty laughable 🤣🤣🤣
as an autistic/adhd person who was diagnosed by an actual doctor what the fuck was that 'stim break' v- i have no idea why people record it and make it look like it's a 'ooh look at me im mentally different how fun!'' kinda way when people know damn well most autistic/adhd/people-who-stim get bullied for doing it in public. that or im speaking from experience
@@mooma10 it does. OCD and OC are two very different things. So it does. What makes you think it doesn't???? I think telling an original character from an illness apart matters
Parents would know if there's something wrong with their children 🎶 the Adams family started when uncle fester farted, he farted though the keyhole and paralysed the cat, the cat was so excited it shouted man united, man united shouted the Adams family 🎶
My family used to call me Wednesday Addams ALL THE TIME when I was younger because I acted just like her. I didn’t even know who she was until I got older. Not saying I have DID btw
My thing with these people posting their DID videos is like . . . all of your alternate personalities are ok with making this video? All of them know a video is being made and not one wants to turn the camera off or even change clothes? All of them feel the need to introduce themselves? Ok.
@@mr.spaghettios788 All the acid did was make me feel bad for half the people in the show. Without acid, that show is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen, I was like what could go wrong. For example I started feeling so bad for Dwight bc he’s hella fuckinf weird bc of how he grew up, he really wants to make Michael happy. And don’t get me started on Stanley, i felt so bad for him too. Creed is this my favorite character tho even tho he was the most out of pocket character. I really don’t recommend watching your favorite shows on acid, the first time I did was watching Clarence and fucking Hulu kept repeating one of the last episodes so I was watching for at least 2 hours trying to figure out wtf was happening. The reason I watched it in the first place was bc it’s a cartoon and seemed light hearted and silly same with the office so I thought it would help my trip go smoother. Absolutely it did not, it starts out nice but then everyone’s mental health issues get exposed and it just all goes down hill from there, I was actually terrified while watching the Clarence episodes with the storm 🤧
Aw man I feel that pain. I’m sorry your having one :( I hope you’re feeling better now. I’ve been getting a lot of really bad panic attacks lately that are from my severe health anxiety which essentially feel like a stroke , so I really get that pain :/ UA-cam is one of the few things that can calm me down too. but ye hope you’re doing better now :)
I feel for you. Getting away from the trigger can be hard in some places. I work retail and this time of the year is rife with panic attacks. The worst part is when my hbp and anxiety feed off each other. I've it in my file that I can't work the cash registers because I can't escape when I'm overwhelmed. I'm lucky a couple managers are understanding. Most aren't so I have to remind of the ADA.
Love your vids but i think you misread the "my brain turning my OC's into alters"parrt. OC wasnt meant to be OCD. OC means original character. LOL funny either way. I also feel really bad for those who do have autism/mental disorders. hell im ashamed to have mental disorders bc if i say anything all, ppl group me in with the "fake disorder" people automatically. Not to mention one of my own little cousins is pretending to faint and such bc she gets attention, and it makes the rest of my family think that im being "dramatic" for using my mobility aids and seeing all these docs to manage my own problems eventhough i am diagnosed BY PROFESSIONALS and she has been cleared as "healthy" numerous times. UGH i wish this wasnt a trend and ppl didnt think it was cool. its not cool. its not trendy. I and so many others suffer DAILY our ENTIRE LIVES due to mental and physical disorders. What i would give to just grow out of it or flick a switch and live my life normally.
I'm 38 with DID I've been diagnosed since it was originally known as multiple personality disorder at the age of 12. Since this is a cool new trend to take on fake characters or people on TV my new "alter" ( which is a new word we never used that before) but I think I'm going to become Dhar Man. When I forget my psych meds for a month ( because most meds stay in your system for weeks after you stop taking them) my schizophrenic auditory hallucinations will be fake DIDers telling me I'm too old to have DID. But I better remember to press record so I can put this all on my Tiktok for millions to comment on my one Grey hair. These videos make me have to take my Valium cause they give me chest pains. Wednesday Adam's is a fake character like your fake disorders! Ya'll doing to much!!!!!
@@dumbstupidmeatcat I have too because honestly when I 1st started seeing these videos I would get seriously triggered. Then I realized these kids aren't getting enough attention from their parents and as a mom of 2 teenagers I know how important that is. I just find the vocabulary that this new generation is using is amusing "gatekeeper " stem" "alters" "ableist" maybe I'm just old lol. They sit around and are like what words can we come up with to make our fake disorder sound even more cringe!
People don't understand you shouldn't self diagnose, especially autism since autism and ADHD are way too similar with each other. It requires a professional for a reason. Also, not being rude, but the person at 7:25 was talking about original characters (characters people make to draw, write, roleplay, etc), not OCD. Also too add onto the stim thing, I cant speak for others but I get so embarrassed about mine. Mine just happen without me realizing it and I don't have time to record it nor do I wish too. I have caught stims before but never posted it cause I don't feel like having everyone watch them. I always do the most strangest of things when expierencing too much of an emotion or I'm over/understimulated. I've seen a majority of people also talk about being embarrassed/ashamed of their stims also cause their not quirky or cute. It means something set them off and most of the time it's not good
as someone who is autistic-diagnosed, have been since i was 6-and has a sp ed teacher mom + has been working w her kids since i was around 12/13 ? yeah. wednesday reads as autistic to me. or at least the “new version” from netflix’s series. list of reasons in a reply to this bc not everyone wanna read that lmao. but she reads like such a textbook example of autism [or aspergers since that term is usually more specific, though it’s an outdated diagnosis / no longer used in favor of ASD] , this time with a goth coat of paint to match. it’s obvious that her behavior / behavioral patterns aren’t a direct result or mimicry of anyone in her family, because the whole schtick about the addams family was that they were this “kooky spooky family” who in reality were extremely healthy and functional. [if,, you don’t look at wednesday trying to execute pugsley. but only SHE gets to do that !] do i think she reads like someone with autism ? yeah. i do. am i gonna make that her only personality trait and all i care about while watching the show ? f%ck no !! it’s so enjoyable all around. it’s something i literally didn’t even think about until i’d finished my first watch-through of the show and was like “yo. she just like me fr” and then MOVED ON FROM THAT THOUGHT because it’s not central to the story !!!! i haven’t heard of anyone harassing jenna for “being autistic” or wanting her to say she is like they have with the whole lesbian thing, but either way some fans just need to stop 💀 you’d think people would’ve learned after what happened with kit from heartstopper yet here we are
it’s obviously a lot harder to tell as a little kid imo, but if you just look at how she is as a 16 year old : the touch aversion. the odd speech patterns / mannerisms that are so common in “high iq” autistic kids that it’s literally it’s own stereotype. the massive empathy-inept attitude. the frighteningly extensive knowledge in things she enjoys or loved ones enjoy as an effort to bond with them. the obsessive thought patterns and disregard for anything that isn’t part of her current train of thought. the huge resistance to change and “comfort in your bubble” that often looks like stubbornness or hardheadedness. the fact that she is so particular about what she wears and seems to have a very small or very uniform wardrobe. the severe aversions to specific sounds and sights / colors. the general rigidity and difficulty in interacting with others and not understanding social norms, therefore not caring about them or how others perceive her. she is so autisms guys. /ref is there room for crossover or things just being because she simply has those behaviors / enjoys that ? oh absolutely. that’s why it’s nothing more than a headcanon / “i think she’s kinda like this yo” and i’m not out here with my copy of the DSM-5 for a character from a netflix show
Omg, dont tell me people now fake having Wednesday fictives in their systems.. First it was Dream, now this? I am part of a system of 9 and we've been diagnosed in 2013. I am beyond sick and upset seeing this shit over and over and over again freaking everywhere! WHEN IS IT GONNA FRICKIN STOP?!?!? How in their frickin minds do they think that having disorders is fun or trendy or whatever.. Im just... hhhhh-
I know two people personally who are claiming they have DID and i just have to close my eyes and take real deep breaths anytime i see them posting about their “alters”
I have never once made a post about DID. Because I know for a fact, that I would get bullied by peers or strangers, and would likely have someone "steal" an alter (the wonderland system does this, they find people with DID and essentially use the names of other peoples alters)
Me being autistic myself. I am disappointed with these people like not just with autism, but with any disorder you can’t self diagnose and it’s not always cute like I can see that from personal experiences I make little noises win in distress and people think it’s cute but I can’t really blame them if they aren’t been on TikTok and seen this shit and think that all cases of disabilities like this😑 I like how you and your girlfriend are spreading awareness about this and telling people and giving more information about hell this is wrong. Thank you keep it up with your good work🫶🏻
Bruh, the stim break audio caused discomfort to my ears and I'm not even wearing earbuds like I usually do 😔👍 the anxiety I felt bro cos of the chaos of the sound alone🥲 great video Ablaze!💕
Wednesday would never be caught with brightly colored hair and a bright pink beanie. Now Enid might (another character on the show). So these people claiming to be such big Wednesday fans clearly didn't watch the same show I watched.
Oh no my hair is dyed I must start self diagnosing my self with mental disorders, screaming at people to believe me and pretending I'm a child. Genuinely, these people make me want to stop looking alternative.
Great video ablaze and keep exsposing these people i will never umderstand why someone wants mental illnesses like DID or anxiety or autism or ADHD i have a learning disability that atruggles with with mental illness and anxiety makes your life a living hell too live with im sick to death of these tikrokers putting a negative dangerous portayal of our condtions and good video ablaze very satiesfying how u destroy these people.
Reminder that self diagnosis is in fact NOT valid. Get a real diagnosis from an educated medical professional before claiming a serious condition. No, you don't "know more" that a freaking doctor because you watch tiktoks.
In my opinion, some forms of self diagnosis are valid, but only if you have done serious and extensive research. This does not mean it is a diagnosis, simply a possible description for what *you* are dealing with. And I don't think it should mean you say you have the disorder, just that you *think* you do, and only say you have it after a professional diagnosis. Sometimes its impossible to get a diagnosis, and putting a name to it for yourself can help with coping and managing, which is why its okay to research and find something that fits in the meantime of getting an actual diagnosis or a professional diagnosis. Sometimes its impossible to get a diagnosis, and putting a name to it for yourself can help with coping and managing, which is why its okay to research and find something that fits in the meantime of getting an actual diagnosis. (to be clear i am not saying self diagnosis is equal to a professional diagnosis, just that it is an alternative while waiting for the opportunity for an actual diagnosis). This is my opinion and I do not think yours is wrong at all, im just proposing mine :)
@@loonylink1127 oh yeah its ok to say it feels right before you get a diagnosis! Its just that saying you 100% have something and aren’t trying to get a real diagnosis is what’s annoying/rude. Like I’m most likely autistic, but I won’t say that for sure until I can get a diagnosis :)
@@loonylink1127 one of the problems with this approach is that by doing a lot of research on something a lot of people subconsciously adopt behaviour of the disorder they suspect they have. It can happen when people get a diagnosis too, but at least then it's already established what diagnosis they have, and the potential treatment. If it's done before a professional diagnosis it can make that process harder and increases the risk of a misdiagnosis. And since all people experience things differently and we don't know how anyone else experience things it can also lead to mistaking normal behaviour as something disordered. Especially since a lot of disorders are really traits everyone has to a certain degree, but it's disordered when it's above or below a certain threshold. You might end up with a mix of symptoms where some are from the actual problem you have and the rest are ones you've acquired, and you might make yourself sicker. Also when you then surround yourself (even online) with people who also either have said disorder or claim to at least, you end up with a normalised view of the behaviours-- normalised as in the lines between actually disordered behaviour and normal behaviour gets so blurred it's hard to tell the difference. Behaviour that is perfectly normal might seem like a sign of the disorder, and actual signs of a disorder might get brushed off entirely. You adopt the group lingo and norms (this happens in all groups), and then when you compare with people not in the group you see differences that aren't necessarily there. Though I completely agree that living in the unkown and not having support is difficult, that's why healthcare needs to be more readily available to all. Self diagnosing is a bit like pissing your pants to keep warm unfortunately.
@@Smulenify I think that is fair, although I also think what you are describing is an extreme. I have done a lot of research on c-ptsd *because* i was presenting symptoms, the symptoms did not increase after I knew what they were, I just had a name for them (i do have a diagnosis now). It is of course possible to subconsciously adopt behaviors from said disorders, but impossible to adopt them to the point of a disorder, which is why it is still valid to say that you think you do. A disorder is impossible to truly fake because it impacts your life to an extend of extreme discomfort, so while some people may have a decent crack at it, they cannot truly fake it. I hope that made sense :), ofc this is not meant to sound rude or anything :)
Maybe people are just looking for representation, because there isn’t a lot in media for them? Like they queer code stuff instead of making it actually queer, they make stuff autistic,-coded instead of actually intentionally writing them as autistic. And god forbid it be the heroine of the story and not the weirdo like the guy in the office? I don’t know. Let people write fanfics.
I just realised that this culture is a good thing .... when i was younger you had to go out with a girl for 6 months and get emotionally involved before you realised she was insane ..... nowadays you just look at their hair colour and ask for their pronouns.
If I see another Wednesday cosplay or dance routine, I'm going to quit society. So over the internet. 🙄 Enjoyed the show till it made its way to social media. Sad to say I'll probably never watch it again. 😅
Omfg. The lady with the glasses "stimming away" in her vehicle is probably older than I am ( 34).... I can't understand teens on tik tok pretending to have DID or any mental illness....But for a 30 to 40 year old to do it?!? That is so freaking pathetic. Sorry Susan, but it's time to grow up. You are not "low key" anything!!
Anyone can stim, age does not affect it. It's humiliating and extremely offensive for you to say that. Actually rereading idk if you're referring to the swimming or her faking mental illness. If it's the second nvm
So, as a mother of 3 beautiful autistic boys, I can assure you that I would never direct anything offensive to a person whom is actually on the spectrum. You know what's highly disgusting and offensive though? People claiming to be Autistic and showing stimming behaviors that are really just everyday habits. I don't think people actually quite understand that stimming is usually something done when a person is distressed. Usually due to social scenarios. And up until recently, it has usually been encouraged to help an Autistic child to try and deal with their distress/emotions in a more acceptable way. Because the end goal of helping someone with Autism is help them deal with the world around them better. This grown woman is making her "low key stimming" just seem so super quirky!
Hey Ablaze, Just commenting to let you know, Around 9:45 you say something about how you’d fire someone if you saw this. As someone with ADHD I find stimming to be extremely humiliating, but needed sometimes. It’s a way to let go of a lot of stress and pressure. Ofc sitting down and recording it is whack, but stimming is an actual thing that people sometimes can’t even control.
I'd also like to point out that when these people are saying "I'm stimming" or "Join me as I stim" and are just dancing or waving their arms & legs about. I don't think they fully understand that Stimming (from what I've first hand witnessed and been told by people) is when you're whole body or just the arms shaking/clenching & unclenching/uncontrollable movement that is nonstop. I've actually seen people stim at Autism Conventions over the years (some have spoken openly about it pre-covid times), it's a way for them to relax when they can't control their emotions and the environment around them (that is what I've been told by them, but can be different for other people).
@@steampunkfox42 I know what you mean, like I've started to feel uncomfortable telling people I'm Autistic, because I don't want others to be labeling me as a fake, just because I "don't look Autistic" which is stressful in it's own way.
Just because a character has traits that are connected to autism won’t make them Autistic. The biggest example I can think of is Sheldon (big bang theory) who’s always been associated with autism however even the writers have said he isn’t .
Fun Fact: The actor was telling in an interview, that he OF COURSE was playing an autistic person. The writers just don't want him to be autistic anymore, because this whole series makes fun of him. They want to be seen as woke and changed their mind after the series. So Sheldon is autistic. More like a cliche, but he definitely is.
People need to learn the difference between having a HEADCANON for a character, and the characters ACTUAL CANON Like I headcanon Wednesday is aro/ace because I relate to her and I'm aro/ace But I know it's not actually Canon in the show and probably won't be It's just what I LIKE to think the character is like
Sorry I can’t hang out today. Me, my ADHD, and anxiety are trying to conjure up some schizophrenia and D.I.D real quick💀 Gen Z is so weird sometimes istfg
Please, can someone tell those people that cosplaying or roll playing is okay.. please! Edit: OC : Original Character.. a Character people made up often for Anime or cartoon.
A lot of the people who are doing the Wednesday dance on tiktok are the same people who would have bullied her in school. on god they always want to be like look I am not like other girls. The amount of ult kids that went to my highschool in 2014 got their shit bullied. My god these kids need to sit here and feel special, and act like they wouldn't bully the goth girl to.SMH

I've been a major fan of The Addams Family my entire life, I even share the name. In the back of my head watching the show I knew deep down someone watching was gonna have an "ah ha" moment and think they're like Wednesday. The show however is good other than the fact they made Wednesday a little to modernized with emotions and caring about other people, but I get it's for the show
Love Vine, Vine is why tik tok exists. And pos influencers. I wish Vine didn’t exist to save us. Always loved The Addams Family. In the 2000s I’d watch the black & white tv reruns & movies with my sister & dad. Younger genZ are idiots. They find something from my childhood then pass it off as new or try to cancel it. I rly hope ppl don’t think Wednesday is a new goth show.
I'm so glad cell phones weren't a thing when I was a teen. Cause evidence of being a total tool and an idiot is not available. These kids just so lost.
Thank goodness I had to wait on dialup when I was coming up. It gave me enough time to rethink things before I did or said anything ridiculous, lol. Social media not being what it is today was truly a blessing.
I don't understand why people can't just genuinely enjoy shows or characters without inserting themselves. These fakers are so incredibly narcissistic with main character syndrome. They feel the need to identify with every little mainstream thing and I just don't understand it.

Wasn't Wednesday multilingual, and also had advaced grammar skills, among many other things these 'autistic' people don't have?
I feel so bad for famous people that are awkward and then get called "autistic" by random teenagers online. That's gotta be hurtful for those who are just awkward and don't have autism.
Why would it be hurtful? There’s nothing bad about being autistic, so there shouldn’t be any hurt feelings if someone thinks you’re autistic, whether you actually are or aren’t.
is there something wrong with being autistic? why is this hurtful?
And those who have autism being generalized all into one thing
Lol most of our autistic group chat on instagram saw Wednesdays traits we dont think jenna is autistic just that they made her charicter with exsisive autistic traits and im a 33 year old autistic with adhd
Imagine waking up one day as a famous person and being so confused why there's a bunch of articles claiming you have some illness overnight. Gotta be really confusing and upsetting

Fr like bruh💀💀😭😭
Wednesday is not autistic she grew up in a gothic morbid macabre family, I grew up on the Addams family
Exactly!
I find nothing wrong with people saying they relate to her bc of their autism though. Because she does exhibit a lot of traits common w autistic ppl
These people make me cringe so much honestly
ong. They’re so quick to call anyone that acts slightly abnormal “autistic”
Why they gotta say everyone is autistic. Now.. that's not cool nor quirky...
7:36 Just going to point out that that is OC, as in original character, and not OCD. Combining disorders wasn't done by that person, yet.
yet lmao 💀😭
I don’t think these people understand that you can identify with a character that doesn’t have their disorders. Do they even know what a personality trait is?
I mean...that trait is a part of their disorder...so it kinda makes sense?🤔
oh my lord. a customer at work told me i was "safe to stim around them" as I was waiting for them to pay for their stuff, and ususally i do make weird clasping motions with my hand, dunno why. i just do. i went "excuse me?" "oh were you not stimming there?" "??? what" "well maybe don't do that, it's insensitive to people who are ACTUALLY autistic" and stormed off, following day put in a complaint against me calling me unfit to work with people. 😅
Sounds like that is a stim though lmao. You don't gotta be autistic to stimulate
As an autistic person, they were self diagnosed. Everyone stims lol, its just the amount that we do it that makes it a diagnosis thing
Autistic people aren't the only ones who stim
It's seen in adhd and anxiety and even neurotypical people stim to an extent
Stimming is not an exclusive thing
@@purplecatloverrandompizza imagine if it was tho, thr TikTokers would have a field day
I swear to fuck as soon as I saw Wednesday I got so worried because I know this generation. Fucks sake.
People are acting like Wednesday is Jenna Ortega’s whole personality
That they have Wednesday altars
That they are in fact Wednesday Addams themselves
And that they have new personalities after the show and also they’re making the show out to be racist and probably assume a bunch of other weird shit about the characters and Wednesday.
I’ve loved the Addam’s family ever since I was little (I first saw the 90s movies) and I was obsessed but I never took it this serious. I thought I was Wednesday because I was 9. I’m 20 now, and there’s people my age and older acting like they’re Wednesday Addams and faking disorders. Holy shit.
I don’t usually leave huge comments like this but I love the Addams family and this is really just not shocking but severely annoying.
My dad told me today that even doctors can't diagnose themselves. Doctors need to go to other doctors, so what makes you think you can diagnose yourself?
Self diagnosis is "i think i have this" not "i have this". Its basically for those who cant get a diagnosis for many reasons
@@StarDustwolf77 no, that’s not what it is. You can say you MIGHT have a disorder but once you say I have a disorder without getting a real diagnosis from a licensed doctor is when it becomes a self-diagnosis.

@@gothica3605 Bro, I remember when I was goth. Good times.
The headcannoning (saying Wensday is autistic) isn’t that big of a deal. You see that type of stuff in fandom all the time, generally it just effects fanfiction and art . But it crosses a line when they try to head cannon real people like the actor. Also OC means original character. They are saying that their brain turned the characters they made up real, which is suspicious at the least.
My thoughts exactly. Although I don’t think it’s sensible to headcanon _Wednesday_ of all characters as autistic, at least it doesn’t involve a real person. I’m actually autistic and I still remember someone on Twitter (so glad I left) headcanoning _me_ as 4’11 and calling me “smol” because, due to the infantilization of autistic people online, they thought that my _actual height_ (5’7) didn’t fit me. Meanwhile, headcanoning a fictional character’s height is perfectly acceptable since they’re not self-aware and many don’t have canon heights anyways. It’s basically the same thing but with mental attributes…
I don't mind the headcanoning thing but people tend to head canon Wednesday as autistic because of a harmful stereotype of autism which is autistic people being emotionless, heartless, and cold. While those can be signs, not every autistic person is like that but a majority of the people I've seen who headcanon her as autistic believe that all autistic people are like that
@@rowan404ain't no way someone headcannoned you as 4'11 that's insane and hilarious 😭😭
@@gay7261 Twitter is a circus.
Being autistic is not cool
FUN FACT:
Autism diagnosis can be tricky by the fact that traits of autism are pretty common on people with ADHD, social anxiety, introverts and even neurotypical people. The difference is how it affects your daily life, that's the importance of seeking professional health because therapy can help, but If it is misdiagnosed (which most self diagnosed people are) you won't have the correct therapy and it's just a waste of time.
What people think self diagnosis is:
(Sees a video of someone stimming)
"Omg same"
What it actually is
(Sees a video of an autistic person talking about their experience)
"Wow I really relate to this, I'm gonna analyze myself and all of my past experiences and only partake in exclusively autistic themed content for several months to decide whether or not I'm faking it so I can't gaslight myself anymore"
@@Homesicktraveler i understand what you are saying. But you kinda miss one part. I, for example thought I had severe social anxiety I didn't self diagnose myself even though I was pretty sure I had it. After a lot happened a therapist was needed and diagnosed me with autism among other stuff.
One thing Is saying "I relate to this", "I have symptoms of...", "I think I have" etc.
I don't think it's ok to say openly you have something you think or are pretty sure you are. If you are not diagnosed professionally, don't say "I have"
I think the most important difference is: people with actual autism (or other issues that may trouble their daily life) seek help to master their life a bit better, while self-diagnozers don't seek help...since it's only for attention online so seeking help wouldn't be a good idea.
I think this is something people don't talk about as much as we probably should...
@@Managable_Mayhem I completely agree with you
this shit, sadly is not a new thing or a genZ thing, before tiktok and all, we had millennials and genXers faking being autistic, or having tourettes, on blogs, then when youtube came out, tumblr was and still is being for ths crap, the big thing was to fake or milk autism and similar for attention and ass-pats, in fact a very notable faker was genX, amanda baggs, Shelly H ( used to have a youtube channel called droooopy ) faked being severely autistic among many other ''disorders'' for years, also Michelle Dawson, and a few others who were in the spotlight off and on as '' brave advocates'' for the disabled community

When will these people learn that most movie and tv writers make the characters to where the audience can connect with them and identify them in some way? It’s like Zodiac signs. They’re so vague so they can relate to literally every person.
The whole Wednesday thing is killing me.. I'm autistic and on TikTok and I just made a video about how people headcannoning Wednesday as autistic is literally going against everything we're advocating for. Society is constantly trying to portray us as cold, calculated, violent people, and we keep saying 'no, that's not us' but suddenly with Wednesday, now it is? Not only that but we're constantly trying to advocate for people not saying things like "you don't seem autistic", But then we're looking at characters on TV that aren't explicitly autistic and saying that they 'seem' autistic... I don't get it. Like I know that representation is important but autistic people are doing exactly what we don't want neurotypical people to do
I think it's different bc of this. People say others don't seem autistic because when they picture an autistic person they picture someone who is unable to take care of themselves. Maybe nonverbal, they have certain physical traits, people who are unable to mask. It's offensive to say someone isn't autistic because it invalidates their experiences and makes it seem like autistic ppl only fit into that box. With people headcanning Wednesday, people are seeing the same traits that they exhibit and relating or identifying with it. In doing that, it creates a sense of comfort and relatability.
@@gay7261 I guess the way I see it, it's okay to relate to a character without them having the same condition as you. By saying that Wednesday, someone who is cold calculated and violent is autistic you're putting all of those traits on autistic people as well. You can relate to somebody but not relate to everything about them but saying that they have a condition, you're then attributing all of their traits to that condition... A condition that's already very stigmatized, and The people in that community treated as though they are cold and calculated and have no empathy. It's further for perpetuating the stereotype calling her autistic. Wednesday was raised in a very different household and in a very different manner than most people that's what makes her different and other than. It's very easy for autistic people to relate to her because of that, because she doesn't fit in, Like we often don't... It doesn't mean she's autistic though.
whenever someone talks about the character wednesday It always takes me a second to realise they are not talking about the day of the week
Just like Wednesday except brightly colored everything and unable to handle anything without stimming like a child or baby. Where was Wednesday hugging a squishmallow and biting on toys playing with her hands while having the camera there for all to witness? Also i have a theory that this hair dye is seeming into their brains 🧠
i agree with you, except that what those people are doing it's not what stimming looks like. Autistic people sometimes need to stim, they usully won't do it in public, and certainly not filming themselves while doing it, but it can be really releaving during stressfull situations. It can even avoid severe meltdowns if done on time. Stimming is not being a baby or child, it's necessary. Even neurotypical people are doing it. For exemple, when people are shaking their legs when they are sitting while they are nervous, it is a stim to release pressure. Autistic people just needs to stim more. And stimming just doesn't look like what those looney are showing, like not at all. Stimming is not being "special" or "different" like they seem to think, it's part of everybody's life. There is already a huge ignorance around autism and stimming, they are making it worse, they are making mentally ill people ridicule, they are making fun of those who suffer and it's enfuriating.
@@Eledyy_ I don't even know what stimming truly is thanks to tiktok and I probably do it when I have excess energy and I'm 99% sure I did it whenever I'd be manic to just get some sort of release. But even the manic "stim" looked nothing like the 'looneys' on tiktok. It was also distressing as shit and if I was in public it would be my regular nervous habits like clutching my arm except I'd be grabbing snd squeezing hard. Not flipping out like that
@@Eledyy_ yes I’m on the spectrum and have other disabilities my stims r not for camera and don’t look like anything unless you knew. I bring my shirt to my lips constantly I also pick at my cuticles when pensive till they bleed. Occasionally I rock but I’m not aware of that. I carry a fidget but not in a child’s backpack or wear it like a LOOK AT ME situation that’s the difference imo. Especially when they get diagnosed on a Tuesday and suddenly start stimming like they THINK one with autism would it’s very frustrating.
@@Cyntaria i think the best way to define a stim is a repetitive movement that we do for calming (different from a tic which something you can't control). Stimming can be a very odd and unknown word when it describes a very concrete thing. Stims aren't necessary as exagerated as they show it, we don't jump around flapping our arms for 10 minutes like they seem to do. Stimming can be anything : chewing, shaking your leg, taping your fingers, bitting your nail.... and again it is not only for people who have autism. A baby who happily flaps his arms is stimming, even if he is neurotypical and in perfect health.
If you guys want to learn more about mental health, please don't look on tik tok. Those kids pretend to educate, but all they do is using your ignorance about mental health to gain attention. There are all using the same arguments : "mental illness is a spectrum, we won't present the same symptoms". Yes sweetie, but if you don't even show a single symptoms of the condition you're pretending to have in a convincing way, it's problematic. Those young people are so mentally unwell, they should really see someone they are in so much delusion...

Recognizing neurodevelopmental disorder traits in family members makes sense when you got a formal diagnosis. My father is going to get assessed this spring for ADHD. If you think you might have a disorder, get assessed. Even if it costs money. You'd treat cancer if you had cancer, wouldn't you? By the way, here in France, some specialists accept to split the bill in monthly payments. If money is the issue, ask if that's possible.
Free in uk, list so long thoo
@dex'ost dignity even better! Makes sense you'd have to wait a long time for an assessment if it's free. I feel that when you've struggled your whole life waiting a bit longer to finally get a diagnosis, it is not too hard to do. But then I get why people procrastinate getting the first appointment. It took me a few years. Until my sister / roommate kinda forced my hand because of all the wasted money, dangerous behaviors... I am a hundred times better now that I have ADHD treatment (both meds and therapy)
you're so right! I waited for years to finally be seen at the autism centre at my state's hospital. all the time spent waiting helped getting together all my info and medical records and also gave me time to be evaluated for other things that had to be excluded (like the mandatory brain MRI to search for other things, etc.). as annoying as it is, waiting also helps sort out the people who want a quick trendy diagnosis on the spot. and omg, I am formally dxd and now suddenly my father's whole life makes sense, too, so he's on the waiting list now, which I love cos he has always been the 'weird one' and has been severely depressed his whole life cos no one really understands him. so he can now finally get the help and also make peace with himself!
@@tessachiaragrasl6335 that's great to hear!!! My life got significantly better after my ADHD diagnosis so I don't understand why people don't want to get assessed if they genuinely think they have a disorder. Deep down they know they are faking
@eggegg Yeah, I knew I had ADHD 4 years before my diagnosis. I procrastinated getting that diagnosis for a loooooong time... mostly because it wasn't the priority at the time and was costly, but if I had known I could have monthly payments, I might have done it earlier

Wha 😂 are you for real? What did ya see in there, jim rick rolling on dwight?
@@mr.spaghettios788 All the acid did was make me feel bad for half the people in the show. Without acid, that show is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen, I was like what could go wrong.

And don’t get me started on Stanley, i felt so bad for him too. Creed is this my favorite character tho even tho he was the most out of pocket character. I really don’t recommend watching your favorite shows on acid, the first time I did was watching Clarence and fucking Hulu kept repeating one of the last episodes so I was watching for at least 2 hours trying to figure out wtf was happening. The reason I watched it in the first place was bc it’s a cartoon and seemed light hearted and silly same with the office so I thought it would help my trip go smoother. Absolutely it did not, it starts out nice but then everyone’s mental health issues get exposed and it just all goes down hill from there, I was actually terrified while watching the Clarence episodes with the storm 🤧

Aw man I feel that pain. I’m sorry your having one :( I hope you’re feeling better now. I’ve been getting a lot of really bad panic attacks lately that are from my severe health anxiety which essentially feel like a stroke , so I really get that pain :/
UA-cam is one of the few things that can calm me down too. but ye hope you’re doing better now :)
I feel for you. Getting away from the trigger can be hard in some places. I work retail and this time of the year is rife with panic attacks. The worst part is when my hbp and anxiety feed off each other. I've it in my file that I can't work the cash registers because I can't escape when I'm overwhelmed. I'm lucky a couple managers are understanding. Most aren't so I have to remind of the ADA.
Love your vids but i think you misread the "my brain turning my OC's into alters"parrt. OC wasnt meant to be OCD. OC means original character. LOL funny either way. I also feel really bad for those who do have autism/mental disorders. hell im ashamed to have mental disorders bc if i say anything all, ppl group me in with the "fake disorder" people automatically. Not to mention one of my own little cousins is pretending to faint and such bc she gets attention, and it makes the rest of my family think that im being "dramatic" for using my mobility aids and seeing all these docs to manage my own problems eventhough i am diagnosed BY PROFESSIONALS and she has been cleared as "healthy" numerous times. UGH i wish this wasnt a trend and ppl didnt think it was cool. its not cool. its not trendy. I and so many others suffer DAILY our ENTIRE LIVES due to mental and physical disorders. What i would give to just grow out of it or flick a switch and live my life normally.
I'm 38 with DID I've been diagnosed since it was originally known as multiple personality disorder at the age of 12. Since this is a cool new trend to take on fake characters or people on TV my new "alter" ( which is a new word we never used that before) but I think I'm going to become Dhar Man. When I forget my psych meds for a month ( because most meds stay in your system for weeks after you stop taking them) my schizophrenic auditory hallucinations will be fake DIDers telling me I'm too old to have DID. But I better remember to press record so I can put this all on my Tiktok for millions to comment on my one Grey hair. These videos make me have to take my Valium cause they give me chest pains. Wednesday Adam's is a fake character like your fake disorders! Ya'll doing to much!!!!!
Reading this cracked me up, I'm glad you are able to find some humor in your life's challenges.
@@dumbstupidmeatcat I have too because honestly when I 1st started seeing these videos I would get seriously triggered. Then I realized these kids aren't getting enough attention from their parents and as a mom of 2 teenagers I know how important that is. I just find the vocabulary that this new generation is using is amusing "gatekeeper " stem" "alters" "ableist" maybe I'm just old lol. They sit around and are like what words can we come up with to make our fake disorder sound even more cringe!
People don't understand you shouldn't self diagnose, especially autism since autism and ADHD are way too similar with each other. It requires a professional for a reason. Also, not being rude, but the person at 7:25 was talking about original characters (characters people make to draw, write, roleplay, etc), not OCD.
Also too add onto the stim thing, I cant speak for others but I get so embarrassed about mine. Mine just happen without me realizing it and I don't have time to record it nor do I wish too. I have caught stims before but never posted it cause I don't feel like having everyone watch them. I always do the most strangest of things when expierencing too much of an emotion or I'm over/understimulated. I've seen a majority of people also talk about being embarrassed/ashamed of their stims also cause their not quirky or cute. It means something set them off and most of the time it's not good
as someone who is autistic-diagnosed, have been since i was 6-and has a sp ed teacher mom + has been working w her kids since i was around 12/13 ? yeah. wednesday reads as autistic to me.
or at least the “new version” from netflix’s series.
list of reasons in a reply to this bc not everyone wanna read that lmao. but
she reads like such a textbook example of autism [or aspergers since that term is usually more specific, though it’s an outdated diagnosis / no longer used in favor of ASD] , this time with a goth coat of paint to match. it’s obvious that her behavior / behavioral patterns aren’t a direct result or mimicry of anyone in her family, because the whole schtick about the addams family was that they were this “kooky spooky family” who in reality were extremely healthy and functional. [if,, you don’t look at wednesday trying to execute pugsley. but only SHE gets to do that !]
do i think she reads like someone with autism ? yeah. i do.
am i gonna make that her only personality trait and all i care about while watching the show ? f%ck no !! it’s so enjoyable all around. it’s something i literally didn’t even think about until i’d finished my first watch-through of the show and was like “yo. she just like me fr” and then MOVED ON FROM THAT THOUGHT because it’s not central to the story !!!!
i haven’t heard of anyone harassing jenna for “being autistic” or wanting her to say she is like they have with the whole lesbian thing, but either way some fans just need to stop 💀 you’d think people would’ve learned after what happened with kit from heartstopper yet here we are
it’s obviously a lot harder to tell as a little kid imo, but if you just look at how she is as a 16 year old : the touch aversion. the odd speech patterns / mannerisms that are so common in “high iq” autistic kids that it’s literally it’s own stereotype. the massive empathy-inept attitude. the frighteningly extensive knowledge in things she enjoys or loved ones enjoy as an effort to bond with them. the obsessive thought patterns and disregard for anything that isn’t part of her current train of thought. the huge resistance to change and “comfort in your bubble” that often looks like stubbornness or hardheadedness. the fact that she is so particular about what she wears and seems to have a very small or very uniform wardrobe. the severe aversions to specific sounds and sights / colors. the general rigidity and difficulty in interacting with others and not understanding social norms, therefore not caring about them or how others perceive her.
she is so autisms guys. /ref
is there room for crossover or things just being because she simply has those behaviors / enjoys that ? oh absolutely. that’s why it’s nothing more than a headcanon / “i think she’s kinda like this yo” and i’m not out here with my copy of the DSM-5 for a character from a netflix show
Omg, dont tell me people now fake having Wednesday fictives in their systems.. First it was Dream, now this?
I am part of a system of 9 and we've been diagnosed in 2013. I am beyond sick and upset seeing this shit over and over and over again freaking everywhere! WHEN IS IT GONNA FRICKIN STOP?!?!? How in their frickin minds do they think that having disorders is fun or trendy or whatever.. Im just... hhhhh-
I know two people personally who are claiming they have DID and i just have to close my eyes and take real deep breaths anytime i see them posting about their “alters”
Same if they talk about it I'm just like 😃
I have never once made a post about DID. Because I know for a fact, that I would get bullied by peers or strangers, and would likely have someone "steal" an alter (the wonderland system does this, they find people with DID and essentially use the names of other peoples alters)
I have never seen such an influx of people amping normal shit to 11 and considering that a personality trait
Fakers leave Wednesday alone
Me being autistic myself. I am disappointed with these people like not just with autism, but with any disorder you can’t self diagnose and it’s not always cute like I can see that from personal experiences I make little noises win in distress and people think it’s cute but I can’t really blame them if they aren’t been on TikTok and seen this shit and think that all cases of disabilities like this😑
I like how you and your girlfriend are spreading awareness about this and telling people and giving more information about hell this is wrong. Thank you keep it up with your good work🫶🏻
6:57 the hypocrisy in this statement is outstanding 😂
I can't dye my hair anymore because of these people.
It’s Tuesday how’d they ruin Wednesday already grrr
Bruh, the stim break audio caused discomfort to my ears and I'm not even wearing earbuds like I usually do 😔👍 the anxiety I felt bro cos of the chaos of the sound alone🥲 great video Ablaze!💕
Wednesday would never be caught with brightly colored hair and a bright pink beanie. Now Enid might (another character on the show). So these people claiming to be such big Wednesday fans clearly didn't watch the same show I watched.
7:36 ..... OCs means Original Characters.. she trying to make her original character into an alter which that is ridiculous..
Oh no my hair is dyed I must start self diagnosing my self with mental disorders, screaming at people to believe me and pretending I'm a child.
Genuinely, these people make me want to stop looking alternative.
I love how all humans APPRECIATE Wednesday psicho killer vibes but they condemn Jeffri for the same modus operandi
Jeffrey was real,Wednesday is not
Because one doesn't exist
OC's stands for "original character"... a character drawn and created by the person, they weren't trying to say they were merging OCD with anything
Great video ablaze and keep exsposing these people i will never umderstand why someone wants mental illnesses like DID or anxiety or autism or ADHD i have a learning disability that atruggles with with mental illness and anxiety makes your life a living hell too live with im sick to death of these tikrokers putting a negative dangerous portayal of our condtions and good video ablaze very satiesfying how u destroy these people.
7:47 um… oc’s means original creations… not ocd… it’s a artist thing. So basically they’re saying their alters are the ppl they draw
Reminder that self diagnosis is in fact NOT valid. Get a real diagnosis from an educated medical professional before claiming a serious condition. No, you don't "know more" that a freaking doctor because you watch tiktoks.
Fr
In my opinion, some forms of self diagnosis are valid, but only if you have done serious and extensive research. This does not mean it is a diagnosis, simply a possible description for what *you* are dealing with. And I don't think it should mean you say you have the disorder, just that you *think* you do, and only say you have it after a professional diagnosis. Sometimes its impossible to get a diagnosis, and putting a name to it for yourself can help with coping and managing, which is why its okay to research and find something that fits in the meantime of getting an actual diagnosis or a professional diagnosis. Sometimes its impossible to get a diagnosis, and putting a name to it for yourself can help with coping and managing, which is why its okay to research and find something that fits in the meantime of getting an actual diagnosis. (to be clear i am not saying self diagnosis is equal to a professional diagnosis, just that it is an alternative while waiting for the opportunity for an actual diagnosis). This is my opinion and I do not think yours is wrong at all, im just proposing mine :)
@@loonylink1127 oh yeah its ok to say it feels right before you get a diagnosis! Its just that saying you 100% have something and aren’t trying to get a real diagnosis is what’s annoying/rude. Like I’m most likely autistic, but I won’t say that for sure until I can get a diagnosis :)
@@loonylink1127 one of the problems with this approach is that by doing a lot of research on something a lot of people subconsciously adopt behaviour of the disorder they suspect they have. It can happen when people get a diagnosis too, but at least then it's already established what diagnosis they have, and the potential treatment. If it's done before a professional diagnosis it can make that process harder and increases the risk of a misdiagnosis. And since all people experience things differently and we don't know how anyone else experience things it can also lead to mistaking normal behaviour as something disordered. Especially since a lot of disorders are really traits everyone has to a certain degree, but it's disordered when it's above or below a certain threshold. You might end up with a mix of symptoms where some are from the actual problem you have and the rest are ones you've acquired, and you might make yourself sicker. Also when you then surround yourself (even online) with people who also either have said disorder or claim to at least, you end up with a normalised view of the behaviours-- normalised as in the lines between actually disordered behaviour and normal behaviour gets so blurred it's hard to tell the difference. Behaviour that is perfectly normal might seem like a sign of the disorder, and actual signs of a disorder might get brushed off entirely. You adopt the group lingo and norms (this happens in all groups), and then when you compare with people not in the group you see differences that aren't necessarily there.
Though I completely agree that living in the unkown and not having support is difficult, that's why healthcare needs to be more readily available to all. Self diagnosing is a bit like pissing your pants to keep warm unfortunately.
@@Smulenify I think that is fair, although I also think what you are describing is an extreme. I have done a lot of research on c-ptsd *because* i was presenting symptoms, the symptoms did not increase after I knew what they were, I just had a name for them (i do have a diagnosis now). It is of course possible to subconsciously adopt behaviors from said disorders, but impossible to adopt them to the point of a disorder, which is why it is still valid to say that you think you do. A disorder is impossible to truly fake because it impacts your life to an extend of extreme discomfort, so while some people may have a decent crack at it, they cannot truly fake it. I hope that made sense :), ofc this is not meant to sound rude or anything :)
First Dream, now Wednesday? PLEASE STOP!!! HELP!!!
Maybe people are just looking for representation, because there isn’t a lot in media for them? Like they queer code stuff instead of making it actually queer, they make stuff autistic,-coded instead of actually intentionally writing them as autistic. And god forbid it be the heroine of the story and not the weirdo like the guy in the office? I don’t know. Let people write fanfics.
I just realised that this culture is a good thing .... when i was younger you had to go out with a girl for 6 months and get emotionally involved before you realised she was insane ..... nowadays you just look at their hair colour and ask for their pronouns.
If I see another Wednesday cosplay or dance routine, I'm going to quit society. So over the internet. 🙄 Enjoyed the show till it made its way to social media. Sad to say I'll probably never watch it again. 😅
Omfg. The lady with the glasses "stimming away" in her vehicle is probably older than I am ( 34).... I can't understand teens on tik tok pretending to have DID or any mental illness....But for a 30 to 40 year old to do it?!? That is so freaking pathetic. Sorry Susan, but it's time to grow up. You are not "low key" anything!!
Anyone can stim, age does not affect it. It's humiliating and extremely offensive for you to say that. Actually rereading idk if you're referring to the swimming or her faking mental illness. If it's the second nvm
So, as a mother of 3 beautiful autistic boys, I can assure you that I would never direct anything offensive to a person whom is actually on the spectrum. You know what's highly disgusting and offensive though? People claiming to be Autistic and showing stimming behaviors that are really just everyday habits. I don't think people actually quite understand that stimming is usually something done when a person is distressed. Usually due to social scenarios. And up until recently, it has usually been encouraged to help an Autistic child to try and deal with their distress/emotions in a more acceptable way. Because the end goal of helping someone with Autism is help them deal with the world around them better. This grown woman is making her "low key stimming" just seem so super quirky!
@@gay7261 Please educate yourself sir.
Hey Ablaze,
Just commenting to let you know,
Around 9:45 you say something about how you’d fire someone if you saw this. As someone with ADHD I find stimming to be extremely humiliating, but needed sometimes. It’s a way to let go of a lot of stress and pressure. Ofc sitting down and recording it is whack, but stimming is an actual thing that people sometimes can’t even control.
Agreed. Sometimes he says really insensitive things.
@@gay7261 Then dont watch
@@gay7261 he said he would fire them because they were faking a disorder
I'd also like to point out that when these people are saying "I'm stimming" or "Join me as I stim" and are just dancing or waving their arms & legs about. I don't think they fully understand that Stimming (from what I've first hand witnessed and been told by people) is when you're whole body or just the arms shaking/clenching & unclenching/uncontrollable movement that is nonstop. I've actually seen people stim at Autism Conventions over the years (some have spoken openly about it pre-covid times), it's a way for them to relax when they can't control their emotions and the environment around them (that is what I've been told by them, but can be different for other people).
I have stims due to neurological problems and its so embarrassing for me and so uncomfortable
@@steampunkfox42 Am guessing seeing others fake it makes it worse?
@@booknerd9850 It makes me a lot more embarrassed and also afraid that I'm gonna be grouped in with fakers and told I'm faking my disorders
@@steampunkfox42 I know what you mean, like I've started to feel uncomfortable telling people I'm Autistic, because I don't want others to be labeling me as a fake, just because I "don't look Autistic" which is stressful in it's own way.
That is not true. There are many ways someone can stim, and not only autistic people stim.
3:26 yea im glad i grew out of my autism (i do have it ive been diagnosed)
This video makes me want the entire world to end very soon.
I feel attacked.... I have blue hair. Well half blue. Blue ombre brown...Why they give us all a bad name. ☠️
I promise I'm normal 😭💙
7:33 ablaze your dyslexia is showing😭
Just because a character has traits that are connected to autism won’t make them Autistic. The biggest example I can think of is Sheldon (big bang theory) who’s always been associated with autism however even the writers have said he isn’t .
Fun Fact: The actor was telling in an interview, that he OF COURSE was playing an autistic person. The writers just don't want him to be autistic anymore, because this whole series makes fun of him. They want to be seen as woke and changed their mind after the series. So Sheldon is autistic. More like a cliche, but he definitely is.
@@Phryzzle ahh cool , to be honest I didn’t actually know that I just knew the writers said at some point he definitely wasn’t heh
They don't ruin Wednesday, they ruin themselves.
People need to learn the difference between having a HEADCANON for a character, and the characters ACTUAL CANON
Like I headcanon Wednesday is aro/ace because I relate to her and I'm aro/ace
But I know it's not actually Canon in the show and probably won't be
It's just what I LIKE to think the character is like
I’m happy my 12 year old self never had tiktok
Yeah I had schizophrenia last Wednesday actually.
see what I did there. ha ha ☺️
Sorry I can’t hang out today. Me, my ADHD, and anxiety are trying to conjure up some schizophrenia and D.I.D real quick💀
Gen Z is so weird sometimes istfg
Why can't everyone take inspiration from Wednesdays writing skills and not her gothic personality
She said (wrote) “learning is a trait”
I have colored hair and luckily I’m normal but most people with colored hair are crazy af
Please, can someone tell those people that cosplaying or roll playing is okay.. please!
Edit: OC : Original Character.. a Character people made up often for Anime or cartoon.
ablaze talking about people with dyed hair faking disorders is possibly the most ablaze thing
WEDNESDAY IS NOT AUTISTIC. We used to call it "being goth." 😂😂😂😂
A lot of the people who are doing the Wednesday dance on tiktok are the same people who would have bullied her in school. on god they always want to be like look I am not like other girls. The amount of ult kids that went to my highschool in 2014 got their shit bullied. My god these kids need to sit here and feel special, and act like they wouldn't bully the goth girl to.SMH
Having that as a 30 year old diagnosis herself makes me need to get some smokes and a gallon of milk.. anybody need some. I'm sure moms want to get some smokes and milk.... You will find stage 4 lung cancer patients getting smokes and incredibly lactose intolerant folks getting milk
If I self diagnose myself with being chronically rich does that mean it'll come true
I've been a major fan of The Addams Family my entire life, I even share the name. In the back of my head watching the show I knew deep down someone watching was gonna have an "ah ha" moment and think they're like Wednesday. The show however is good other than the fact they made Wednesday a little to modernized with emotions and caring about other people, but I get it's for the show
Love Vine, Vine is why tik tok exists. And pos influencers. I wish Vine didn’t exist to save us. Always loved The Addams Family. In the 2000s I’d watch the black & white tv reruns & movies with my sister & dad. Younger genZ are idiots. They find something from my childhood then pass it off as new or try to cancel it. I rly hope ppl don’t think Wednesday is a new goth show.
I'm so glad cell phones weren't a thing when I was a teen. Cause evidence of being a total tool and an idiot is not available. These kids just so lost.
Thank goodness I had to wait on dialup when I was coming up. It gave me enough time to rethink things before I did or said anything ridiculous, lol. Social media not being what it is today was truly a blessing.
@@_S.D._ exactly!!!!!
IF you self diagnose, your hair turns a color and if you go by the 2nd girl, your clothes disappear. 😂😂😂😂
@7:40
OC stands for original character
Not OCD.
Person turning their made up characters into alters. Hope that helps make sense of it now.
The whole “I’m just like Wednesday Addams” phenomenon has serious “Joker” 2019 vibes only with teenage girls.
To the surprise of no one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s the new Eddie
I'm autistic and honestly couldn't give less of a shit if a character in a movie makes fun of another character who happens to be autistic.
“The word I bleeped out was the N-Word”
WHAT
I thought he said f*ggot because of the noise
why cant people just enjoy a fandom without shitting on everything like why cant you just watch something
I don't understand why people can't just genuinely enjoy shows or characters without inserting themselves. These fakers are so incredibly narcissistic with main character syndrome. They feel the need to identify with every little mainstream thing and I just don't understand it.
