I tend to get along way better with people who have autism. I feel like a lot of autistic people are a lot more open and accepting. Like they don't expect you to conform to all the social expectations and are more open to communicating in ways that are not the standard way to communicate in society. I find it easier to connect and have inside jokes.
Ooh yeah I often feel like that alot of the time. I feel that we tend to be more accepting of others because some of us know what it is like to be excluded from things you know.
@@IndieAndy That is mostly the experience I have had! Also because autistic people know what it is like to struggle to understand and conform to society's standards of how to act and be, they tend to not judge or even just not really notice when someone else isn't that great socially. Makes for a really accepting and free environment.
Yeah precisely! Though some autistic people can still be massive douchebags 😂 though it is rare 👍

My current special interest is actually autism itself. I just got diagnosed almost a week ago. I think the best thing about myself, is my extreme attention to detail.
Yeah attention to detail is great. I just realized that it's related to my super power: being able to find things

I love how sincere I am. I don't play games, I don't lie. My honesty has gotten me in trouble a couple of times but I still think it's the best part of me. Oh and I like when I'm confronted with something new how I'm always looking to relate instead of being dismissive. I'm more curious then fearful and I like that about myself. :)
Aww those are great traits! Someone else mentioned honesty & it is a great trait to have.
I totally agree with this! Its such a virtue, curiosity. Also being very empathetic, over analyzing, hyper focusing. its all so lovely

My favourite autistic trait about myself is that when I want to learn something I can concentrate on it for hours at a time . I'm a very dedicated student if I am interested in what I'm learning. I also love that my bluntness attracts really nice people that are not judgemental :) I have good friends because of my differences
Ooh yeah hyperfocus is really good especially if you're into something interesting! Aww that's interesting so your bluntness brings people closer to you? That's really awesome that you found unjudgemental friends.
@@IndieAndy well I find everyone tells me I'm their "truthful" friend. I think my bluntness gets rid of judgmental people in my life.

when I was younger I was obsessed with rocks, and I still love them but the cool thing about my past fixation is that I can name almost any rock I come across now. Its entertaining for me and my family seems to enjoy it. plus its a great crutch to have on walks when im overstimulated. so thanks past me! the interest really helped 😊
I kind of collect rocks, mostly quartz but some other ones too. Some I call my holding stones because they feel nice when I hold them, the shape just feels right in my hand

Oh man... I've started keeping a dictionary of all the words I make up, usually by accident when I get muddled up!
One thing I love is how I notice things no one else usually notices, or that I think differently to people.
I personify inanimate objects too.
My interests change all the time. Right now I'd say my main interest is autism because I'm waiting on a diagnosis. The more I find out about it the more my life makes sense, especially thinking back to my childhood ☺
Ooh that is cool! I tend to notice stuff that others don't and that's a great example 👍 Aww I see how long have you got to go until your assessment/diagnosis?
@@IndieAndy I've been told there's a 6 month waiting list so I have quite a while to go before the assessment.
One of my other recent interests was videos on youtube of people exploring abandoned places like theme parks and old hotels. I must have watched over 100 videos, some of them were really funny.
Medical documentaries are another, I love to learn. ☺
Aww I see well I hope it goes well and hope you explore the community as much as you can 😁
Ooh yeah I know what you mean when it comes to finding a kind of video you enjoy! Like when Kingdom Hearts came out... I was alot of videos related to it... Probably watched 50+ hours on it 😄
@@IndieAndy most of the time I just find a random video, which leads to another and then 3 hours, 200 videos later it's 2am and my phone needs charging 😂

That llama 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Instant subscribe and follow because of Larry
My favorite interests are conspiracies, doing nails, sea shells and animals 😊
That is awesome! I do like a good conspiracy myself, what's your favourite one?
i seem to have this strange fixation with lost and obscure media. i find it really interesting how some things can just fall into obscurity or be lost completely and not be resurfaced for years. its kinda scary, but i always feel overjoyed whenever something lost resurfaces again on the internet or when something not very well known (like clone high for example) suddenly explodes and has its own fandom or cult following. its really neat
I'm so grateful for these videos, I'm going forward for diagnosis at 32,ive always thought I was the only one who thought and behaved like me, I don't know any autistic adults but my son has autism he's amazing. For the first time in my life I don't feel like a freak or alone and I've got the exact llama just smaller x
Aww wow Tabatha this comment makes what I do here worthwhile! I didn't really know any other autistic adults who were like me either until I came online and found alot of them 😁 It's just awesome 👍
Oooh really? Llamas are the best for sure 🦙

:0 my favorite description word is crunchy like school is crunchy in a negative way but Minecraft is crunchy in a good way like it can mean anything!!
At age 55, I was just diagnosed this year. Some of my special interests over the years include musical instruments (whether I know how to play them or not) and in my travels I buy instruments and try to create a song on that instrument during the trip. In 2015 I began playing the ukulele, and by 2020 I had a collection of 11 all-solid wood ukuleles and I learned to play both "flamenco style" and "fingerstyle". The feel of the strings on my fingertips and the aural stimulation of certain chords have been huge "stims" to help me regulate anxiety.
I have owned several pets over the years, mostly dogs. As a special interest, I am working with my therapist and a dog breeder to acquire, train, groom and document the progress of my ESA, a female Havanese dog. (Future plans include the CGC test to earn "Therapy Dog" status, then eventually to train as an "Alert & Response Service Animal") I have created a UA-cam channel, Facebook and Instagram platforms for Chewie as well because UA-cam is another of my long-term special interests, I have two channels currently. One is a dog channel and the other is a ukulele channel.

Great points. :)
To answer your final question, I love how I have the ability to be kind to others and understand how they feel. I have had people be mean due to my misunderstandings in social situations, so I can relate to when others are struggling to make friends, so I gravitate towards those people and am a friend to them.
1. Yes. I struggle to know what to say at times and say things that aren't always words. I tend to be better at writing in order to express my thoughts and it gives more time for me to clarify my ideas and come up with the right words.
2. My curiosity is both a blessing and a curse. I can get so side tracked and research super random things when I should be doing homework, but I am happy that I still have that childlike wonder for the world and get excited to research and discover new things.
3. I think in black and white and have a strong idea of what is moral and right, but I am so indecisive and this was extremely true when trying to choose a career for university. I made lists of all the pros and cons of the jobs, and these pros and cons were so clear, so I just had to pick the one with less cons.
4. I love exploring my special interests. I have so many power points of all of my interests. It can be good but also a huge time waster when I should be doing homework (see a common theme? lol. I should be doing homework right now). I love flowers, animals, Disney, etc. I don't talk about my interests except to family. (Ps. I love Larry. It is a super cute llama).
5. I feel like I am the only person who doesn't really have routines. I kind of just research my interests and go places when my family wants to go even if I wasn't told beforehand. I don't get anxious if I am around people I know. :D
Aww wow thank you so much for sharing so much here. I was really great to read through all this! Haha yeah Larry is pretty awesome! I do have another llama called Henry actually who I'll have to show off in a video someday.
Really glad you enjoyed the video and got something out of it. 👍
@@IndieAndy Thank you for replying. I can't wait to see Henry someday. Keep up the great videos. :)
@@farmersautisticwife3952 Glad to know I'm not alone. I listen to the same song before bed every night and have a night routine, but I don't really get upset if it is disrupted. :)
Yeah Lolly I like routines myself but being spontaneous is also important to do from time to time.
My special interests are: reptiles , the wiggles and sign language :)
@@IndieAndy it's an Australia children's program ... I'm 24 and still love it . You should look it up! They are super inclusive with people with disabilities and do alot of stuff in Australian sign language
Yes! I thought I was only person who made up words! I always tend it's a creative thing because Autistic people are really creative. My bf is like that when he comes up with names for Dungeons and Dragons, so it is very relatable. Well done for the video, Andy; cannot wait for tomorrow's video! =D
Yeah that's what I think as well. At first it might seem strange but it literally is just us being us 👍 Thank you for the comment Sez & yes I'm excited to put today's video out!!!
I know this is 2 years late, but I'm an autistic linguistics major with a theory about this! I think that it's part of pattern recognition because the words we "create" generally follow the proper morphology rules with prefixes and suffixes to be "real words" like they don't technically exists, but the components make sense grammatically.

Yes I agree! My made up words are so cute to me!! They make me feel good in my body. Like a tickle. I am also immediately black and white! Though I switch between the two, change my mind a lot. Really quickly. I’ve definitely gathered that Autistics can be really attached to stuffed animals/toys. Mr. Bear is better than a best friend. I love how quirky/awkward/funny I am. I love that I am weird! I am so strange but I think it’s absolutely endearing. I absolutely love hearing Autistics talk about how awesome they are.
Aww well it is really great to hear that you like those parts of you that make you you 👏I have to say that I change my mind on alot of things all of the time. Don't understand why but who knows.

I do the same thing with words and I love it! It's so creatively fun and expressive, not to mention original! Which is always excitingly surprising!
you sound a lot like my son...he's 9 autistic too! the words thing, getting curious n fixating on it, the black/white approach You're all wonderful!
Aww that's great! I hope that this video helps put the point that we are all awesome even if some differences! 😁👍

so it begins... editing was spot on with this, the little overlays/animations... :)
Ooh it definitely does! Aww thank you so much buddy 👍 Got our collab up tonight!!
@@IndieAndy awesome.... sadly I cant retweet it as I'm in Twitter jail lol. Something about Donald Trump saying abortions were carried out on babies hours after they were born... suggesting the same process be applied to his supporters would be a good thing... a c word or two...
All in all... went well lol
Haha fair enough! I mean you can always share to your Facebook page i.e. the Hatman one until Twitter decides to be less of a dick 😍😂
Special interests: Shaun murphy from the good doctor, human anatomy, autism, supernatural stuff and David desrosiers from the band simple plan
My neighbors have llamas and they recently sheered them, they look so cute and silly! :D
My favourite interest is animals I know the most about dogs but I love all animals and know a lot about all animals
My mom said im close to Autism when you mentioned about llamas that's me with hedgehogs. Growing up in high school I always had someone help me with my homework and people I had I liked them so much. I know learning problem or speech delay they both in me. I didn't talk I heard till 3yrs old I had my aunt help me growing up. I would not change this about myself yes I have hard time learning things but that makes me unique. Plus I learned im on the spectrum

Curiosity is a great trait!
Outdoor warning system sirens. My favorite "brand" is the sentry sirens. I also really love the design of the whelen WPS-2800 and WPS-2900 series. Very sleek design which contrasted my original interpretation of sirens. It also comes with a feature that alerts people with visual light which is pretty cool.
I’m terrible with using words to describe feelings and emotions and experiences with random noises with faces and hand motions, and people like it but understand it. I’m really grey, bc i’m too empathetic to call something straight up wrong, but there are exceptions, it makes me hella indecisive. Fashion history has been something i’ve loved my entire life and i’ve taught myself to sew just because of it

I relate to so much! Also, I love the positive vibe too btw.
Anyway, I have countless interests. Including visual art, fashion, psychology, music, geology, medicine and anatomy sciences and the list goes on.
And I like being an empath.
Aww thank you Madeline! I have to make something like this again soon as it's been too long. Ooh wow that's alot of cool interests. I like history and flags of the world... Just love that kind of thing!
@@IndieAndy it is very uplifting! I do encourage. 🙃
Hehe yeah, I'm one of those people that just obsesses over general learning.
Ooh, history is fascinating! 😊
Aww yeah I like to learn things also to be fair... Pretty much I'm a walking talking bag of random facts 😂

I hate long introductions because I zone out and miss everything
I love taking pictures of nature bugs flowers etc and growing plants of all types! I drive people batty talking about it! 😉
Ooh that is great! I like nature though I don't fully understand it. Can't help but appreciate what is around us.
@@IndieAndy i don't think any of us mere humans will ever fully understand mother nature! We all should appreciate her more lol! Thank you for bringing more awareness to the world!
Haha yeah I agree with that! Ooh well I hope that me talking words helps I guess ☺️
I like my open minded nature and I am friendly, ADD brainer!
I make up words all the time 😂 Also switching between Dutch and English a lot, or conjugating English words according to Dutch grammar or the other way around 😅
Larry the llama is the best! 🌈💙
I really like structure and routines too! I need them to keep my head clear(er)... 😉
Ooh man that sounds like a weird but awesome experience!
Ooh yeah he really is. Mind you there is always Henry too 🦙💕
Aww it is kind of cool to see that we do like routines 😁👍
@@IndieAndy It's not a big problem when I'm with people who understand both Dutch and English very well (like my bf). But it's more annoying when it happens with my parents or grandparents, for example 😅😂
Maybe Henry should make his UA-cam debut too? 🤣 Then we can decide who's more awesome or if they're equally awesome... 😂🌈
Awww that's fair enough 😁
Ooh well maybe that will happen in the future some time 🥰🦙🦙🦙
naw larry is cute:) he seems very sweet:). my special intrest is a bit weird and very broad, i lover creating things. at the moment it is plushies but im also a goldsmith, i can do some blacksmithing, wood working, drawing, airbrushing, gardening, baking and so on:P. basicly everything i can create with my hands i want to do:). oe i almost forgot about leathercraft:D.
You should check out alpacasso. It’s a Japanese character who is an alpaca. I have two alpacasso plushies, a rainbow one and a purple. Really recommend it!🙂
Myself and my children do the making up word thing. people always picked on me when I was a kid for it but I always liked it. Serious personalitied people call it silly though, but i dont care anymore, its fun.
I also am curious and like to figure out things, it drives my family nuts, but it is good for problem solving. I also am called gullable because I see good in bad people and give people a chance before I decide to think they are bad.
Hi Jodi! To be honest these are all positives of you and who you are so that to me is important 👍
Yes I am like that too, always assume people are good. Sometimes people aren't treated like they might be a good person very much so it can be really nice for them
Thanks for sharing your ‘Loved Autistic traits’, about yourself. 😎👍🏼
Some of my special interests are the (Junior) Eurovision Song Contest, the continent Europe, different languages (even though I only know English 😭), and different cultures.
Aww that's cool! I watched Eurovision for the first time in full this year and it was really interesting to watch.
Hey Andy! Happy WAAW to you! My favorite autistic trait is my honesty =)
Hey Alice! Absolutely happy WAAW and happy World Autism Awareness Day to you 👍 Ooh yeah honesty is a pretty big part of autism... Do you find that you can be abit "too honest"? If so.... Then I'm the same 😂
Ooh yeah it does with me don't worry. But I think it is a good thing as well. Think it's just figuring out when it's good to be honest etc
where can we get that sweatshirt???
Ooh the hoodie? Its my friends autism awareness clothing range. I'll leave a link here: weirdtriangle.com/shop/#!/invisible-i
I love Formula 1, and because of that I got into the mechanics of cars, and the aerodynamics and I got into SimRacing. A lot I cannot remember unfortunately, but it is always nice to relearn it again. Also, how the temperature of the track has an affect on the car behavior
Where did you get Harry? I love it and want it too :)
Im using rectangularly now
I am a 23 year old from England. I was diagnosed with Autism (Asperger's Syndrome) at 4 years old, just before turning 5 and ever since then my biggest special interest is trains or any part of the railways. If you asked me anything about trains including how powerful is an 8-cylinder 320bhp Rolls Royce engine for a Sentinel Diesel Shunter, i would answer it. or what type of steam engine is the Flying Scotsman or Mallard, I would also answer it well.
Otters make me feel comfortable
@@IndieAndy there just so so cute i got to pet an otter last year I think at Debbie Dolittle it's super fun
Miss you
Nice llama. 👌
Ooh thank you! Have a say that I have a mini llama family at this point. It's probably cool 😊
@@IndieAndy Sounds legit. I like wolves myself. I find them to be quite fascinating.
💗Hi indie people! What do you want people to understand about autism?
Here is a playlist full of more videos just like this >>> ua-cam.com/play/PLU7asIuC9SU_QzuO2ADSzy2do8i7_XUWi.html
@IndieAndy I love how happy you make me within the first few seconds of watching your video. I like the making up of words too. I don't do it too often but yeah it is amazing. In German we say Schnuki, but I make it Schnuksipups :D. It sounds so much better
