The autistic/ADHD roommates one as an ADHDer with bad RSD hit me hard lmao. My siblings are autistic and I have undiagnosed ADHD and my parents refuse to believe they have a third neurodivergent child. Gotta wait until I can move out and then I can do a thing called Get Diagnosed oh im infodumping again sorry- Update: Asked my psychiatrist for a screening!! Now we wait Update 2: Mom said no :(
I think that I may have undiagnosed ADHD (and I'm 99.9 percent sure I have anxiety) but my parents don't really believe in mental health, and just don't like it. My mom won't let one of my sister's friends come over because they see a therapist and when I told my mom that I almost blacked out when a teacher called on me, she told me that I'm "so dramatic." Also, I asked her if I could see a therapist or psychologist because my mental health is going down the drain and she told me that my grades need to get higher for me to go, and my grades can't get higher because my mental state is bleh so it's a big loophole
Oh my god same but with autism, and it’s soooo clear that my brother is neurodivergent at 3 but my parents just don’t recognize it and i’ve told them i have adhd/now thinking autism they’re just like “no:)”
Had a meltdown a couple weeks ago because I was terrified my teacher would get hit by a car if I chose not to go to class, got in touch with a counselor, am going on a journey
4:14 Is what I'm like except I do know VERY specifically what's wrong, because I do like a lot a lot of research because I got super super interested in mental illness and symptoms at a very young age, but I refuse to use accurate of scientific terms because I'm worried that if I use hyper-specific terminology people will think I'm using all that research I've done to fake and look for attention so people go ”oh what's wrong?” and I WANT to say ”I’m having an internal break down due to overstimulation, the amount of light and sound in here is distressing me, I think I’m either going to shut down or cry” but instead I say ”Oh the sound is just annoying me, I'm fine”
I feel this in my soul. I'm constantly looking into things to try and explain what I am and why I'm the way I am, but when I tell other people I'm just like, "haha it's just how I am" because I'm so afraid of coming off like I'm faking it.
I FELT THAT... i can't afford an official diagnosis, so even though i know i'm mentally ill and i'm 99% sure about most of the disorders i have, i never use any exact terminology when talking to other people because i'm literally so scared all the time that i'll get called out for self diagnosing or faking symptoms for attention
Do I have ADHD or am I just relating to the symptoms? Am I just relating to the symptoms or am I just _lying to myself because I so badly want to be neurotypical?_
7:42 is so helpful! I’m usually an extremely talkative person but sometimes times I entirely or partially shut down and usually my words are first to go. I thought that when this happened I should just “snap out of it” but this is a good reminder that when this happens it means my body is exhausted and I don’t *have* to communicate in a standard way. Thank you for including this
I havent let myself adhd stim in years and i just did it for myself...flailing and making weird sounds just for myself. agh god that felt so good. i shouldnt hold them back anymore, it honestly hurts. Dont feel embarrassed or self conscious of your stims, if theyre not harmful, do them! Get it all out so you can go back to trying to be in the present;;;
I really appreciated Jackboots tiktok on fairylocks. When you are an Irish person of white skin, and you leave Ireland with locks, knots and mats people can assume much of you. Pagan tradition and belief in fairies is still quite strong here. Tending to your fairylocks is also a great way of fidgeting when nervous or needing to move for neuro divergent reasons! Edit: Some believe it's bad luck or it can piss the fairies off if you brush them out, cut and keep them nearby if you have to remove them.
That last one spoke to me so much, my parents get so mad when I just keep saying "I don't know" even though it's the 100th question they've asked me in the past three hours
3:08 You don’t understand how much of my life I’ve spent being irrationally angry because I was having my sitting-in-this-particular-spot time and someone else had the audacity to disrupt that by being in the same room or the same vicinity I feel so validated but at the same time I feel strange help
I feel this so hard even though I'm not usually the type to need routine super bad, sometimes it's so hard because they aren't doing anything _wrong_ and I'd feel bad telling them to leave so instead I just. Sit in my anger. And feel bad for being angry in the first place lmao
I do every single one and I always thought it's just normal, and now I'm like "wait, there are people that don't do these?" (I feel like I need to add [it's funny because there was also add as a different form of adhd so it works like a joke even though it's not] that I'm not neurodivergent and I'm here only because my brain wants an excuse but in reality I'm just lazy and disorganized)
I really like this kind of game as well! Glad the answer I got seems to be what other people got as well haha. I don’t know so much about deciphering the alphabet itself, but I went back and repeated that video a few times to catch any similarities and where the words coincided with the on-screen text (for instance the “you” was said a bit and from there I could also decipher “you’re” since it’s so similar). I just really like puzzles I think they’re a lot of fun so it was definitely a nice little surprise! ::D
Finally finding out ADHD is a neurodivergent disorder after your ex best friend who’s autistic literally never corrected you to say that you aren’t neurotypical but instead let you believe you couldn’t possibly relate the same way and then starting to accept that it’s a part of who you are and it’s okay that you relate more to neurodivergent people because you are one yourself. Damn I’m finally accepting ADHD as a disorder/disability instead of telling myself I could learn to be normal. Finding TikToks/videos like these are finally making me feel so much better about my quirks and understanding that sometimes it’s just a mental block and not that I’m just incapable of something. I thought I didn’t let stigmas get to me but I literally let them trample me because I was so young when I was diagnosed - as if there’s not more information about ADHD now then there was, as if I’m not more cognizant and able to understand the smaller aspects that become larger that I just never knew or was pushing aside. This last month of reflection has been insane. Losing my best friend to their accusations that I wasn’t understanding enough or taking their disability into account made me revert in so many ways where my coping skills are just not working right now. Finally accepting the fact that it’s okay because there’s a huge neurodivergent community and not everyone is going to make it exclusively about their disability or disorder but about everyone in the community. I’m finally breathing fresher air, it’s so much harder to take deep breaths - but I’m working on it again. Finally. (Just needed to get out all of these thoughts and reflections because they are drowning me)
The difference is if you experience some of the symptoms but not often and it doesn't impact your life then you probably don't have adhd, if you experience the symptoms daily / most days and it has a big impact on your life then you probs do. Losing your keys and phone now and again isn't a symptom but if you lose your phone and keys ALL thE TIME then u might have smthn up
The girl doing the adhd stimming session just helped me understand my daughter better. sometimes us nuerotypicals need help with the alternative perspective. 💗
I think seeing these kind of videos helps me a lot, I’ve only ever been diagnosed with anxiety because my parents weren’t a fan of medicating me at a young age. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve realised that a lot of the things I experience aren’t inherently “normal” like I didn’t know people don’t usually dissociate and until about a year ago I didn’t know there was even a term for it, I began maladaptive daydreaming without knowing that other people do it too! I recently discovered that the colours in my vision are known as visual static and aren’t as uncommon as I thought they were so thank you to anyone out there who took the time to read this. I think I just needed to get this off my chest❤️
I have Misophonia and unfortunately I don’t know much about my disorder because my parents don’t exactly think it’s worth going to the doctor for. If anyone knows anything about Misophonia could you tell me if it’s neurodivergency?
I’d look at Mayo Clinic and try finding reliable (medical, hospital, college, and recent sources) articles and other people’s experiences!! Those can usually help!
i would just like to thank you for putting tiktoks in this comp that have subtitles, and if they dont, putting in extra work to put them in yourself. i have problems processing things that arent subtitled and its part of the reason i love your channel so much. i actually came here from another comp about autism and neurodivergency and i got so frustrated that i came back to your channel. kind of long winded, but thank you.
i only have ADHD and ASD but im happy to see representation outside of that in one of these neurodivergent comps! its important for people to know that theres more than just those two things under neurodivergency!
4;12 my roommate and I, she is on the spectrum and being diagnosed and I am just not sure, looked at this and were like, ok the first word is Are and the second one is You, and we just sounded it out until we realized that it probably said “Are You Sure You’re Not Autistic?” And she looked at me like it confirmed something or us both, and I’m sure she’s right, lol
Similarly to the "I don’t know" thing, I've noticed that I falsely claim to not remember specific details very often. Sometimes that's true, but usually it's a combination of -The detail is irrelevant and I can’t be bothered to tell you -The detail makes me seem weird -The fact that I even remember the detail would make me seem weird (It’s mostly the first one though) Edit: It doesn’t get me in trouble though because my artificially reduced, apparent knowledge of details matches the amount NTs would probably consider normal
This compilation is perfect! So relatable, but in a validating way, not the upsetting way where it only focuses on the pain of being neurodiverse. These tiktoks are still raw and honest about the difficult stuff, but not in a way that’s upsetting and makes you feel hopeless/useless, it’s in the nice way where you think, “that sucks, but it can and will be ok. It’s just hard sometimes.” I don’t know this compilation just made me feel understood, and gave me hope that I can be just as strong as these people. I can find happiness in this life too, it’s just a little harder sometimes. But it’s ok. Anyone reading this, just know that you deserve to be heard, understood and accepted as you are. You’re not broken, you were just built differently and born into a world that isn’t made for you. But it’s the world that needs to change to accommodate everybody’s needs, not you. Happiness will come. Sometimes when you’re struggling it’s hard to believe things can ever get better. But they will. 💜
My neurodivergency is not presenting any differently today, if anything watching these makes it present more, but I am feeling great because this series makes me feel understood and not alone and valid
Me relating to a bunch of these tiktoks: *lol no, I haven't even been diagnosed with anything I'm just trying to separate myself from 'the norm'... even tho I don't think about or care about separating myself from 'the norm'.*
i would like to remind everyone that just because somebody chillaxed for a few hours does not mean they will be able to go to social events for the rest of the millineum, dad.
I really want to thank you for putting in subtitles, i have a little bit of hearing and focus problems and also english isn't my first language so it really helps!
I always stim a lot when I watch these, mainly out of excitement. It’s like “THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME AS ME!!! :D” or “OOOOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO THIS ID RELATABLE”
broooo the last one hit me HARD. I used to get into so much trouble from my dad for answering everything with I don’t know” or “I don’t care”. I don’t even know how to describe what happens in my mind but they did it perfectly and it makes me so happy to know that other people understand.
bro the one with the audio of Gandhi from Clone high makes me happy because he is a huge ADHD icon and he's also generally my favourite Clone High character
For the stutter one, I never realized I do that but I do basically everything on that list. I don't talk to people in person all that much anymore so I don't do them enough to realize I guess. For the last one, I relate far too much because everyone I know has gotten annoyed with me saying it all the time and sometimes I get too scared to even say anything at all and end up just blubbering and crying, particularly when they get mad at me for saying "I don't know."
4:27 this tiktok really helped me understand stutters and before watching that tiktok I didn't know blocks were a type of stutter. I do that so much while speaking, because my brain is slow af. And when I know the answer to something but I can't say the answer because my brain is slow af again I always say umm until my brain finally lets me say the answer normally
Adjxjdkxjc 4:13 is exactly me! Like I have a bunch of symptoms of different disorders but not enough to really say for sure that I have it. Like I’m suicidal and tired all the time but I have no problem showering and sleeping so I don’t think I’m depressed. I am very forgetful, have quite a few stims, and deal with what I thing is RSD but I can still focus on my teachers when needed so I don’t think I have adhd. I also have MADD so that’s fun. Basically I know somethings wrong but idk what. Sorry I just wanted to vent. If you made it this far ily so much and please don’t forget to drink water!
Hey, just wanted to say, thank you for this playlist, youve found soem really excellent ones and this has helped me a lot on my journey figuring out my adhd and autism. Ive sent many other people this playlist, and its helped a lot of people. Thanks
the last one- every single time I say "I don't know" when confronted, people always say "well, you must know!" or "I don't know isn't an answer" and it is soooo frustrating
I'm super late to this but ciphers are my hyperfixation and I had to figure this out..... the writing system at 4:09 spells "Are you sure you're not autistic?"
The last one- That was a personal hit I almost always answer "I don't know" because of almost all of the reasons they mentioned. I have only one close friend that I will tell how I actually feel, and that's only if there isn't a positive mood I could ruin. Teachers always get mad at me for it when really I'm just scared of answering wrong; I've been known as "the smart kid" since maybe 1st grade even, and I've always been bullied for hanging out with the "weird kids". If I answer something wrong, snickering, looks of disappointment and slurs are all thrown my way. Fckn sucks. If you're in a situation like me, you're not alone. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with it, and I've never really gotten it off my chest before. You're loved and valued. Stay hydrated, love you. ♡
Also, I know that the first 2 things I listed aren't really that bad, but they really mess with me So does people touching me- someone will poke me and I'll tell them to stop so of course they do it again and then they're surprised when I get mad. They tell me "I'm just messing with you relax" I would if I could, Ashley
THE STUTTER ONE AT 4:26 WAS SO HELPFUL!! I HAVE HAD STUTTERS MY ENTIRE LIFE BUT HAVE NEVER KNOWN HIW TO DESCRIBE THEM AND NOW I KNOW!! ITS INSANE I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT MY STUTTERS NOW FOR NO APPARENT READON THANK U RANDOM TIK TOK PERSON!!!!
3:30 That part remind me that I did something similar when I was young. I stopped doing it because I thought it was weird to create a whole new way of writting. I was masking very hard even when I was alone. I spent the last two hours to continue it :)))). Im glad I did.
I related to 3:06 too well. My husband is confused that I refuse to be in the kitchen while others are in the kitchen unless he is also in the kitchen or I'm alone in the kitchen. I was diagnosed with GAD, MDD, and dysthymia but I'm not sure if that's why I do this.
yknow i related to the last one a lot, i do say "I dont know" a lot and most of the time if someone asks a me a question my first "I dont know" is my mind being blank but most of the time the person keeps asking me questions that are really similar and my mind being blank "I dont know" goes to a please stop asking me questions, i really dont know "I dont know"
I’ve started doing this thing where I blink and I’m conscious of blinking but I just can’t stop until I’ve blinked FULLY even though I’ve already blinked like 40 times and I can’t stop
The tourettes ones are really helping me loosen up with stimming. This feels really nice, I've been repressing my stims since I've been stuck in my house with my family for so long and I've been really drained.
4:03 I can't believe I'm not the only one who created their own writing system as a kid! I even started working on a dictionary for words in my new language!
Me telling myself I can't be ND because I'm not diagnosed knowing I have hella "symptoms", it would explain so much and I won't be until I'm an adult cuz my parents don't see the symptoms
The guy talking about taking care of a middle schooler making him take better care if himself truly felt like something that would work on me like 100%
Here is a list of things I experience that feel neurodivergent but I’m not actually diagnosed with anything so it could just be me subconsciously wanting to feel special. -I can’t sit in complete silence, I need some sort of background noise. -I get tics without having Tourette’s -I have terrible short term memory but fantastic long term memory - I can’t start a conversation to save my life - I find it easier to talk to kids than adults - I get OCD like tendencies with things like the dishes, socks, the way the pantry and fridge are organized, and when I clean things need to be very specific. -I get intrusive thoughts - I have trouble controlling my volume -I get sensory overload -I’m very sensitive to the textures of certain things...that’s why I can’t eat shrimp 😂 -I experience rejection sensitivity -I’m a kinesthetic learner - I go on tangents a lot -I have trouble explaining how I feel -I can never stick with a sport or extracurricular activity - my thoughts feel forced sometimes - I mimic things -often have certain things playing in my head on repeat 😂 -I see no point in small talk -I’m perfectly fine staying home for long periods of time. -I experience synesthesia -there are certain songs I can’t listen to because they make me feel weird -sensory symmetry That’s all I can really think of right now but I wanna know what it happening to me so if someone could help...that would be great!!
"I got symptoms disorder" That did not have to be as much as a mood as it did. I'm officially diagnosed with adhd and Im also autistic but fuck if my brain still goes "wow this sure is a brain boink"

Also, I asked her if I could see a therapist or psychologist because my mental health is going down the drain and she told me that my grades need to get higher for me to go, and my grades can't get higher because my mental state is bleh so it's a big loophole
@@elokin300 I'm so sorry my friend. You got this, you'll get diagnosed.
@@CalamityFirecatcher I hope you can get your diagnosis too :)
Oh my god same but with autism, and it’s soooo clear that my brother is neurodivergent at 3 but my parents just don’t recognize it and i’ve told them i have adhd/now thinking autism they’re just like “no:)”
Had a meltdown a couple weeks ago because I was terrified my teacher would get hit by a car if I chose not to go to class, got in touch with a counselor, am going on a journey
good for you!
Today I've learnt I most likely stutter
Also that "do relate to adhd tiktoks because I have adhd or-" hit close to home lmaoo
@@annoyanceking wait explaining things out to yourself is an ADHD thing
@@beans7448 is It?
4:14 Is what I'm like except I do know VERY specifically what's wrong, because I do like a lot a lot of research because I got super super interested in mental illness and symptoms at a very young age, but I refuse to use accurate of scientific terms because I'm worried that if I use hyper-specific terminology people will think I'm using all that research I've done to fake and look for attention so people go ”oh what's wrong?” and I WANT to say ”I’m having an internal break down due to overstimulation, the amount of light and sound in here is distressing me, I think I’m either going to shut down or cry” but instead I say ”Oh the sound is just annoying me, I'm fine”
Why is this comment just so
relatable
mood
And I thought I was the only one worried about this
I feel this in my soul. I'm constantly looking into things to try and explain what I am and why I'm the way I am, but when I tell other people I'm just like, "haha it's just how I am" because I'm so afraid of coming off like I'm faking it.
I FELT THAT... i can't afford an official diagnosis, so even though i know i'm mentally ill and i'm 99% sure about most of the disorders i have, i never use any exact terminology when talking to other people because i'm literally so scared all the time that i'll get called out for self diagnosing or faking symptoms for attention
Do I have ADHD or am I just relating to the symptoms?
Am I just relating to the symptoms or am I just
_lying to myself because I so badly want to be neurotypical?_
OP AS SOMEONE WITH DID I AM LOOKING SO POLITELY AT YOU INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE SYSTEM IN THIS OMG,,, TYSM ILY /P
there's 2 and yeah!!! thx so much. 🦋(+⚓)
7:42 is so helpful! I’m usually an extremely talkative person but sometimes times I entirely or partially shut down and usually my words are first to go. I thought that when this happened I should just “snap out of it” but this is a good reminder that when this happens it means my body is exhausted and I don’t *have* to communicate in a standard way. Thank you for including this
"please refrain from estimating me" is how I live my life and it's not okey 😂
I havent let myself adhd stim in years and i just did it for myself...flailing and making weird sounds just for myself. agh god that felt so good. i shouldnt hold them back anymore, it honestly hurts. Dont feel embarrassed or self conscious of your stims, if theyre not harmful, do them! Get it all out so you can go back to trying to be in the present;;;
I really appreciated Jackboots tiktok on fairylocks. When you are an Irish person of white skin, and you leave Ireland with locks, knots and mats people can assume much of you. Pagan tradition and belief in fairies is still quite strong here. Tending to your fairylocks is also a great way of fidgeting when nervous or needing to move for neuro divergent reasons!
Edit:
Some believe it's bad luck or it can piss the fairies off if you brush them out, cut and keep them nearby if you have to remove them.
That last one spoke to me so much, my parents get so mad when I just keep saying "I don't know" even though it's the 100th question they've asked me in the past three hours
3:08 You don’t understand how much of my life I’ve spent being irrationally angry because I was having my sitting-in-this-particular-spot time and someone else had the audacity to disrupt that by being in the same room or the same vicinity I feel so validated but at the same time I feel strange help
bro yes
I feel this so hard even though I'm not usually the type to need routine super bad, sometimes it's so hard because they aren't doing anything _wrong_ and I'd feel bad telling them to leave so instead I just. Sit in my anger. And feel bad for being angry in the first place lmao
I do most of the stutters and I didn't realise
SAME
I've literally had to describe that my brain had stopped working after about a minute of abrupt silence on my part
I do every single one and I always thought it's just normal, and now I'm like "wait, there are people that don't do these?"
(I feel like I need to add [it's funny because there was also add as a different form of adhd so it works like a joke even though it's not] that I'm not neurodivergent and I'm here only because my brain wants an excuse but in reality I'm just lazy and disorganized)
I have a stutter too , mine makes me block and I fall over vowels
4:11 "Are you sure you're not autistic?"
Fairly sure, but I had a lot of fun deciphering his alphabet! I love this kind of games :D
I have searched the comment for this! I got the same and wanted to know if anyone else thought that was what it said.
I also got the same! Glad im not the only person who took 30 mins out of my day just to decipher a tik tok video xD
I really like this kind of game as well! Glad the answer I got seems to be what other people got as well haha. I don’t know so much about deciphering the alphabet itself, but I went back and repeated that video a few times to catch any similarities and where the words coincided with the on-screen text (for instance the “you” was said a bit and from there I could also decipher “you’re” since it’s so similar). I just really like puzzles I think they’re a lot of fun so it was definitely a nice little surprise! ::D
Oh geez I wasn’t the first to get this answer lol. Thought I might’ve been. Oh well
Okay that's what I thought it said as well but I'm also dyslexic and I wasn't completely confident because the middle line just would not stay still.
Finally finding out ADHD is a neurodivergent disorder after your ex best friend who’s autistic literally never corrected you to say that you aren’t neurotypical but instead let you believe you couldn’t possibly relate the same way and then starting to accept that it’s a part of who you are and it’s okay that you relate more to neurodivergent people because you are one yourself.
Damn I’m finally accepting ADHD as a disorder/disability instead of telling myself I could learn to be normal. Finding TikToks/videos like these are finally making me feel so much better about my quirks and understanding that sometimes it’s just a mental block and not that I’m just incapable of something.
I thought I didn’t let stigmas get to me but I literally let them trample me because I was so young when I was diagnosed - as if there’s not more information about ADHD now then there was, as if I’m not more cognizant and able to understand the smaller aspects that become larger that I just never knew or was pushing aside.
This last month of reflection has been insane. Losing my best friend to their accusations that I wasn’t understanding enough or taking their disability into account made me revert in so many ways where my coping skills are just not working right now.
Finally accepting the fact that it’s okay because there’s a huge neurodivergent community and not everyone is going to make it exclusively about their disability or disorder but about everyone in the community. I’m finally breathing fresher air, it’s so much harder to take deep breaths - but I’m working on it again. Finally.
(Just needed to get out all of these thoughts and reflections because they are drowning me)
The difference is if you experience some of the symptoms but not often and it doesn't impact your life then you probably don't have adhd, if you experience the symptoms daily / most days and it has a big impact on your life then you probs do. Losing your keys and phone now and again isn't a symptom but if you lose your phone and keys ALL thE TIME then u might have smthn up
I came here for *swag*
But you gave me too much *swag*
The girl doing the adhd stimming session just helped me understand my daughter better. sometimes us nuerotypicals need help with the alternative perspective. 💗
The ADHD woman at 5:26 is like if my thoughts about me suddenly took human form.
I think seeing these kind of videos helps me a lot, I’ve only ever been diagnosed with anxiety because my parents weren’t a fan of medicating me at a young age. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve realised that a lot of the things I experience aren’t inherently “normal” like I didn’t know people don’t usually dissociate and until about a year ago I didn’t know there was even a term for it, I began maladaptive daydreaming without knowing that other people do it too! I recently discovered that the colours in my vision are known as visual static and aren’t as uncommon as I thought they were so thank you to anyone out there who took the time to read this. I think I just needed to get this off my chest❤️
I have Misophonia and unfortunately I don’t know much about my disorder because my parents don’t exactly think it’s worth going to the doctor for. If anyone knows anything about Misophonia could you tell me if it’s neurodivergency?
I’d look at Mayo Clinic and try finding reliable (medical, hospital, college, and recent sources) articles and other people’s experiences!! Those can usually help!
yis
@Leanna Krile Thank you for telling me!
@@MonteMortgageMan Thx!
Im so sorry but what is Misphonia?
Huh... so my constant axious 'uhm's in my speech were a stutter? Weird, never knew... That clears up a bit!
I have ADHD, does that make me neurodivergent?
yeah! neurodivergent just means anyone who isn't neurotypical
@@intellectualInsectoid ahh ok thanks
yis
Yes lmao
i would just like to thank you for putting tiktoks in this comp that have subtitles, and if they dont, putting in extra work to put them in yourself. i have problems processing things that arent subtitled and its part of the reason i love your channel so much. i actually came here from another comp about autism and neurodivergency and i got so frustrated that i came back to your channel. kind of long winded, but thank you.
that dude: why are you in the kitchen
me, watching this video in my kitchen: 👁️👄👁️
i only have ADHD and ASD but im happy to see representation outside of that in one of these neurodivergent comps! its important for people to know that theres more than just those two things under neurodivergency!
4;12 my roommate and I, she is on the spectrum and being diagnosed and I am just not sure, looked at this and were like, ok the first word is Are and the second one is You, and we just sounded it out until we realized that it probably said “Are You Sure You’re Not Autistic?” And she looked at me like it confirmed something or us both, and I’m sure she’s right, lol
Similarly to the "I don’t know" thing, I've noticed that I falsely claim to not remember specific details very often. Sometimes that's true, but usually it's a combination of
-The detail is irrelevant and I can’t be bothered to tell you
-The detail makes me seem weird
-The fact that I even remember the detail would make me seem weird
(It’s mostly the first one though)
Edit: It doesn’t get me in trouble though because my artificially reduced, apparent knowledge of details matches the amount NTs would probably consider normal
This compilation is perfect!
So relatable, but in a validating way, not the upsetting way where it only focuses on the pain of being neurodiverse.
These tiktoks are still raw and honest about the difficult stuff, but not in a way that’s upsetting and makes you feel hopeless/useless, it’s in the nice way where you think, “that sucks, but it can and will be ok. It’s just hard sometimes.”
I don’t know this compilation just made me feel understood, and gave me hope that I can be just as strong as these people.
I can find happiness in this life too, it’s just a little harder sometimes. But it’s ok.
Anyone reading this, just know that you deserve to be heard, understood and accepted as you are.
You’re not broken, you were just built differently and born into a world that isn’t made for you.
But it’s the world that needs to change to accommodate everybody’s needs, not you.
Happiness will come.
Sometimes when you’re struggling it’s hard to believe things can ever get better.
But they will.
💜
My neurodivergency is not presenting any differently today, if anything watching these makes it present more, but I am feeling great because this series makes me feel understood and not alone and valid
thank you so much for placing subtitles on the parts that have no captions! i have trouble understanding sometimes so this was very helpful to me.
Woah these are the tiktoks i didnt know i needed
I have autism and ADHD
bruhhhhhh tysm for including systems in here. big hearts in chat
I felt so much of this... but the intrusive thought one was especially good. Don't often see it represented so simply and effectively.
5:25 is literally exactly me except the last thing lmao
4:24 "sure am experiencing experiences over here" mood.
Me relating to a bunch of these tiktoks: *lol no, I haven't even been diagnosed with anything I'm just trying to separate myself from 'the norm'... even tho I don't think about or care about separating myself from 'the norm'.*
Sameeee
why did this 10 min vid teach my more about neurodivergent people than a decade of schooling... thank you SO MUCH for making this!
i would like to remind everyone that just because somebody chillaxed for a few hours does not mean they will be able to go to social events for the rest of the millineum, dad.
I felt the last one. I always get in trouble for saying "sorry" when I did nothing wrong or "idk"
“I got symptoms disorder, brain no worky 🥴 “
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THAT IVE SAID THAT,,,
Man that last one just described all negative interactions with my parents
“Please refrain from estimating me” is my new mantra
I really want to thank you for putting in subtitles, i have a little bit of hearing and focus problems and also english isn't my first language so it really helps!
I always stim a lot when I watch these, mainly out of excitement. It’s like “THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME AS ME!!! :D” or “OOOOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO THIS ID RELATABLE”
broooo the last one hit me HARD. I used to get into so much trouble from my dad for answering everything with I don’t know” or “I don’t care”. I don’t even know how to describe what happens in my mind but they did it perfectly and it makes me so happy to know that other people understand.
bro the one with the audio of Gandhi from Clone high makes me happy because he is a huge ADHD icon and he's also generally my favourite Clone High character
For the stutter one, I never realized I do that but I do basically everything on that list. I don't talk to people in person all that much anymore so I don't do them enough to realize I guess. For the last one, I relate far too much because everyone I know has gotten annoyed with me saying it all the time and sometimes I get too scared to even say anything at all and end up just blubbering and crying, particularly when they get mad at me for saying "I don't know."
1:41 I recognize that shirt! PMA all the way!!
What is up my crank crew!
Eeeeefffff
@@trollyfruit Unus Annus?
4:27 this tiktok really helped me understand stutters and before watching that tiktok I didn't know blocks were a type of stutter. I do that so much while speaking, because my brain is slow af. And when I know the answer to something but I can't say the answer because my brain is slow af again I always say umm until my brain finally lets me say the answer normally
1:53
Really digging that PMA hoodie. Love it.
Adjxjdkxjc 4:13 is exactly me! Like I have a bunch of symptoms of different disorders but not enough to really say for sure that I have it.
Like I’m suicidal and tired all the time but I have no problem showering and sleeping so I don’t think I’m depressed.
I am very forgetful, have quite a few stims, and deal with what I thing is RSD but I can still focus on my teachers when needed so I don’t think I have adhd. I also have MADD so that’s fun. Basically I know somethings wrong but idk what.
Sorry I just wanted to vent. If you made it this far ily so much and please don’t forget to drink water!
Hey, just wanted to say, thank you for this playlist, youve found soem really excellent ones and this has helped me a lot on my journey figuring out my adhd and autism. Ive sent many other people this playlist, and its helped a lot of people. Thanks
It really helps seeing other people with DID that seem happy, thank you!
the last one-
every single time I say "I don't know" when confronted, people always say "well, you must know!" or "I don't know isn't an answer" and it is soooo frustrating
That intrusive thoughts one at the end was TOO REAL I got prickles in my arms
I'm super late to this but ciphers are my hyperfixation and I had to figure this out..... the writing system at 4:09 spells "Are you sure you're not autistic?"
The last one-
That was a personal hit
I almost always answer "I don't know" because of almost all of the reasons they mentioned. I have only one close friend that I will tell how I actually feel, and that's only if there isn't a positive mood I could ruin. Teachers always get mad at me for it when really I'm just scared of answering wrong; I've been known as "the smart kid" since maybe 1st grade even, and I've always been bullied for hanging out with the "weird kids". If I answer something wrong, snickering, looks of disappointment and slurs are all thrown my way.
Fckn sucks.
If you're in a situation like me, you're not alone. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with it, and I've never really gotten it off my chest before. You're loved and valued. Stay hydrated, love you. ♡
Also, I know that the first 2 things I listed aren't really that bad, but they really mess with me
So does people touching me- someone will poke me and I'll tell them to stop so of course they do it again and then they're surprised when I get mad. They tell me "I'm just messing with you relax"
I would if I could, Ashley
0:45 omg thank u I wasn't expecting DID representation... and this is so funny
These tic videos, really set off my tics. Very fun, I don't have tourettes, got anxiety tics
THE STUTTER ONE AT 4:26 WAS SO HELPFUL!! I HAVE HAD STUTTERS MY ENTIRE LIFE BUT HAVE NEVER KNOWN HIW TO DESCRIBE THEM AND NOW I KNOW!! ITS INSANE I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT MY STUTTERS NOW FOR NO APPARENT READON THANK U RANDOM TIK TOK PERSON!!!!
I just learnt I have a stutter like literally someone times I will spend a solid half a minute stuttering on the a in alpaca
3:30 That part remind me that I did something similar when I was young. I stopped doing it because I thought it was weird to create a whole new way of writting. I was masking very hard even when I was alone. I spent the last two hours to continue it :)))). Im glad I did.
i love watching these cuz every five seconds im audibly screaming "SAME"
Some of this was relatable in ways I've finally accepted about myself, and some of this was relatable in ways I haven't accepted about myself yet.
I related to 3:06 too well. My husband is confused that I refuse to be in the kitchen while others are in the kitchen unless he is also in the kitchen or I'm alone in the kitchen. I was diagnosed with GAD, MDD, and dysthymia but I'm not sure if that's why I do this.
5:25 omg you are scaring me I am legit concerned how do you know my entire lifeeee
4:12 is so funny to me-
Quite relatable tooxD
“BrAin nO WoRkyyyy”
Had a meltdown, went into blanket fort, found this vid, aaaaand I have a smile. Many thank.
0:33 oh big mood. would send this to my teachers if I had any idea what the appropriate level of formality for student-teacher interactions is
I think I'm getting tics from adhd & anxiety or smth but i really only tic if i'm thinking about it
yknow i related to the last one a lot, i do say "I dont know" a lot and most of the time if someone asks a me a question my first "I dont know" is my mind being blank but most of the time the person keeps asking me questions that are really similar and my mind being blank "I dont know" goes to a please stop asking me questions, i really dont know "I dont know"
Physically seeing the "intrusive thought wince" made me realize how often I do it!
I’ve started doing this thing where I blink and I’m conscious of blinking but I just can’t stop until I’ve blinked FULLY even though I’ve already blinked like 40 times and I can’t stop
9:24 LeftatLondon is a really good musican.
✨ I really do be disassociating while watching this video ✨
The tourettes ones are really helping me loosen up with stimming. This feels really nice, I've been repressing my stims since I've been stuck in my house with my family for so long and I've been really drained.
4:03 I can't believe I'm not the only one who created their own writing system as a kid! I even started working on a dictionary for words in my new language!
The last one hits so damn hard. I do that all the time like, why the hell are you mad for something I don't have? Sounds like a you problem LMAO
8:40 lol this started happening recently so that's been fun how was ur day
9:49 I DO THAT! I DO THAT! ALL THE TIME! EVERY TIME!
Me telling myself I can't be ND because I'm not diagnosed knowing I have hella "symptoms", it would explain so much and I won't be until I'm an adult cuz my parents don't see the symptoms
5:26 resonates too much with me, help
Loved the intrusive thought one at the end of the vid. Made laugh so god damn hard. I feel heard
Currently in the “am I adhd or am I just seeking attention” camp and WOW that “I don’t know” one destroyed me. that is literally just me
9:53 not me over relating to this last tiktok...
Like, Why Is It So Hard For idk To Be... Uh... I dont know... Uh...
The guy talking about taking care of a middle schooler making him take better care if himself truly felt like something that would work on me like 100%
Here is a list of things I experience that feel neurodivergent but I’m not actually diagnosed with anything so it could just be me subconsciously wanting to feel special.
-I can’t sit in complete silence, I need some sort of background noise.
-I get tics without having Tourette’s
-I have terrible short term memory but fantastic long term memory
- I can’t start a conversation to save my life
- I find it easier to talk to kids than adults
- I get OCD like tendencies with things like the dishes, socks, the way the pantry and fridge are organized, and when I clean things need to be very specific.
-I get intrusive thoughts
- I have trouble controlling my volume
-I get sensory overload
-I’m very sensitive to the textures of certain things...that’s why I can’t eat shrimp 😂
-I experience rejection sensitivity
-I’m a kinesthetic learner
- I go on tangents a lot
-I have trouble explaining how I feel
-I can never stick with a sport or extracurricular activity
- my thoughts feel forced sometimes
- I mimic things
-often have certain things playing in my head on repeat 😂
-I see no point in small talk
-I’m perfectly fine staying home for long periods of time.
-I experience synesthesia
-there are certain songs I can’t listen to because they make me feel weird
-sensory symmetry
That’s all I can really think of right now but I wanna know what it happening to me so if someone could help...that would be great!!
