"Told me that my son would always be non verbal, but look at him now!" "Aweh, fuck!" "👁👄👁 NO!" 😂😂
My little sister went from hardly talking at all to spelling out curse words lol when she doesn't want to say the actual word she'll try to spell it out and sometimes she hits it right on the head Lamo I love her 🙂😂
If I had a kid I’d be so proud
That little kid swearing at the beginning is iconic hahaha.
that knocked me out oml
That is parenting in a nutshell 😆
my brother is also non verbal and about the only thing he says are swear XD
still laughing rn lol-
This boy is up to something
I hate when ppl say "everyones a lil autistic"
Same. One time someone who actually works with autistic people and people with other disabilities said that to me and I got kind of annoyed by that comment.
@@Coco-bl8zg It's like saying "everyone is a little asthmatic" or "everyone is a little bit diabetic".
Omg that statement drives me up a wall 🙄🙄
SAME.
I was diagnosed with bipolar, and I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING, I HATE WHEN SOMEONE SAY "oh but, but everyone is a lil bit BIPOLAR"
NO
NO NO NO
SHHHH
NO. NOT
DON'T SAY THAT-----
IT IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING MAD OVER SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE, IS LIKE BEING MAD BECAUSE YES, TOO MUCH.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NO NO NO STOP AMNSMSNAMAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That line is a little grosser then you think. It's literally them saying "I assume you think you're special for having autism, I can't allow you to feel special for being disabled so I'm going to try and take that away from you under the facade of being inclusive." It's no different than when people discredit the queer community with lines like "Everyone goes through that phase, you'll get over it.". Nerotypical, able bodied, cishet people need to stop equating different with being "special". I don't feel special taking a daily inhaler or getting over stimulated at work, it sucks so stop imposing your weird inferiority fetish on me *Karen*.
Me : There's no such thing as an autism friendly candy mix. Every autistic person is diff-
Lady : As you can see it's all red and blue...
Me : I'll take your entire stock.

I was vaccinated, have autism. And I know someone who wasn’t vaccinated who also has autism. What did we learn today class?
That Donald Trump's hot takes should be taken with a grain of salt.
@@CelestialBug ok 👍
That vaccines don't cause autism
@@CelestialBug yes! Great job Microwave Demon! You get a gold star!
oh oh! autism isn’t caused by vaccines!
The one talking about NT issuing to-do lists without expecting it to get finished… I LITERALLY went through ALL of high school and college without understanding this. I would get SO mad when other students wouldn’t finish all the questions and the teacher would pander to them and let it go! It never occurred to me that this was the expectation until now… 😳
Yeah, I saw that video and was like
“…goddammmit.”
*sigh*
Are you _kidding me-_
Yup. I always did them all.
@@missmayflower I usually tried to do them all, but I got distracted or couldn’t make it through and felt incredibly guilty for not finishing it.
I had this exact problem with my orthodontist. He told me to wear my head gear every night, all night, and these extra rubber bands all day except when I eat or brush my teeth. He didn't expect me to do it, and ignored me when I told him about how much my jaw had moved. It wasn't until at least 2 years after my jaw problem had reversed and I had gotten the opposite problem that he finally checked and said that I had screwed up by listening to him and now I needed surgery. *facepalm*
Me: I am a powerful being, I am above these time-consuming conventions, I have perfect recall. And I am an exceptional improviser and I can adapt to any skill with enough time, practice and research.
Also me: flickering fluorescents overstimulated me so I'm laying in a dark room for a couple of hours
doubt you have a perfect memory
@@Laku-Chan I'm exaggerating but its pretty good if I do say so myself
@@ahhh4117 might be eidetic memory then
@@Laku-Chan eidetic memory is not a thing sadly (or at least can not be proven). Just an above average visual memory
@@ahhh4117 eidetic memory does exist, you're probably confusing it with photographic memory. and you likely have it.
me: *goes to doctor to get dignosed*
doc: you cant have autism! you have friends!
me: what in the ablest fuc-
edit: doctor saw i have tics and changed statement to ‘lets just treat the symptoms 🙃’ which is fine ig but like… id like some validation and not feel like im just crazy.
I got “you can’t have autism cause you’re not a boy” when I was younger. (I did get a diagnosis when I was 18)
I got a "you don't have adhd, you have a full time job!"
things that never happened
@@Nahnono which part are you referring to?
@@trdragon2434 They're probably one of those people who likes to tell people they're lying about stuff that happened to them or something like "ur not autistic lmao"
I happy-stimmed when Kim Rhodes popped up, I've loved hearing about her discovery that she's likely autistic (her daughter is diagnosed, Kim herself is self-diagnosed because she, unfortunately, can't afford a diagnosis atm, but she's talked to many other auties and they agree she probably has some form of autism too). I'm in a similar situation to Kim, being an adult looking for a diagnosis, although the reason I've been putting it off is due to the pandemic - now that things are properly starting to open up again, my mum and I are talking about finally going to the doctor.
Minus the fact self id is frowned upon because literally anyone can say they're autistic just because of one thing they look up on the internet that they believe fits them. Case in point twitter. If she believes she is, and then says 'your definition of autism' That's a red flag right there that she isn't and is only looking for attention. Autism is very defined.
@@ShinigamiRyan I've actually heard a lot of people in the autistic community say it's perfectly fine to self-diagnose because autism can be hard to get a diagnosis for for a variety of reasons (lack of research into autism in females, monetary issues limiting them from being able to go to a doctor, etc.), although I understand that not everyone agrees. If you resonate with a lot of the symptoms, then it's very possible you could be somewhere on the spectrum.
As for Kim saying "your definition of autism", I took it as her talking to people who don't know much about autism and they have a preconceived notion about what everyone on the spectrum is like, but there is a lot of variety from person to person. Sure, auties hold a lot of the same qualities, but past that there are many other symptoms, some that are maybe more or less prominent than someone's idea of autism looks like. Not to mention things like masking which could make someone brush you off and say "pfft, you're not autistic, look at all these things you do like a neurotypical!"
Considering the fact that there is often a genetic element to autism (some auties inherit it from a parent) and Kim has an autistic daughter, and the fact that she's talked to other autistic people at length and taken non-official tests that they've recommended for her and she has received results suggesting she's autistic, I think it's a little hurtful to suggest she's just saying it for attention. She's raising awareness about late diagnosis and creating a platform for people to look up to.
@@Beeba10 Tldr. First off, no its not valid. Just because some kids/adults are shy, does not mean autism. Etc. If she wanted to raise awareness, she could get a diagnosis properly. Just apply for disability, and those people will send one to a doctor for such a type of examination. Her platform is self id. Everyone and their mother is going to run with a self id to feel special.
@@ShinigamiRyan Professional diagnosis can be expensive, inaccessible, and biased. Even with disability, not everyone can afford a diagnosis, and Kim is unfortunately in that boat. She. Cannot. Afford. It. And a majority of people self-diagnosing (not all, but most) aren't doing so simply because they're "shy", they've genuinely noticed that they have a lot of the symptoms associated with autism. You don't think self id is valid, fine, but a lot of the community do accept people who self id. Even if that person ends up not having autism, if they were wrong, they likely still need some kind of help.
@@ShinigamiRyan In the US if you are an adult your health insurance will not cover diagnosis. Diagnosis costs up to $5,000 USD if you can find a private doctor who does them. On top of that you have to find a doctor who is familiar with both adult diagnosis AND diagnosis in Women. You will end up on a waiting list that can be a year or two long and then still be misdiagnosed. You are unlikely to receive disability for autism and as an adult on t he spectrum there really are not any support services in the US. That is why self diagnosis is considered valid in the ASD community. If you have done all of your research, that is.
I love how you and others make videos for adhd,autism,ocd etc tiktok complications, it’s really nice and helps lots of people to get diagnosed. I want you all to know ( everyone reading this ) we love you, you are amazing and I hope that you stay safe, and have a great rest of ur life!
ty☺☺same to you
Just want to say, thank you so much for this video. Most Autism tiktok complections that i see are the stereotypical "cute quirky stimming", it it so nice to see videos with other aspects of autism.
1:05 I always thought that when they give you homework you're supposed to do all of what they assign you. It never occured to me that I don't need to do everything lol😅
I remember the first time in 5th grade I REALLY didn't want to do the homework so I hid it under the couch and could say I lost it, turns out we didn't even have to turn it in but I was so paranoid the whole day I would get caught 😭
I think it depends on the situation.
my college prof was nice enough to let me know that they do not expect us to finish all the readings and I --
That's why I always ask clarifying questions when given potentially vague instructions.
I completed high school already and the whole time i assumed my grades wrre because of my missing homework. Starting to realize it was probably the shitty text answer
Why can’t people get into their heads that it’s not just loud noises, Im fine with loud noises but I HATE multiple noises.
when I was first diagnosed I use to think loud noises were a sensory issue.. till I realized the difference between sensory issues and just overly loud noises.. The difference is night and day. Even very quiet noises can be very painful if they hit your sensory issues
Yeah, I generally don't have a problem with loud noises. I just can't stand irregular noises, like a single noise in a silent room or someone singing off tune.
Reggie is a whole vibe !
can't help but think his full name is Regarded -
People don't expect you to do all this stuff when they say it?
My boss gave me a load of work before I'll go home, enough for the whole day, an hour before I had to finish.
I worked hard and did it all.
Now I understand his confused and amazed face when I simply did what he told me.
As someone who works with Deafblind students, who often have other overlapping disabilities, including cognitive, developmental, and physical, AAC DEVICES ARE THE BEEEEEEEST!!!
1:40 I didn't realise this and I'm 30... Knowing our whole menu including prices has been somewhat helpful though. :'') Meanwhile I got colleagues who've worked there who think it's unreasonable to know even the most common items by heart.
I’m a mom who is having her son tested soon. I really need some positive words of encouragement today. Feeling really low. People making harsh comments or being insensitive has me depressed and crying all day.
I'm so sorry that's happening. All that rudeness I mean. Best wishes to you and your son!
Update?
Your son is your child no matter what; sending love ❤
Autism speaks saying things like « I am autism, I will ruin your marriage » really affects me because my parents did split and I ended up in foster care because of stuff happening in the home and for a long time everyone would blame it on my autism.
don't listen to them okay ? it was not your fault or your autism's fault. autism speaks just tell crap that are not true about us autistic people and thoses people who blamed you are wrong to blame you like that.
@@a_little_demon thank you 💚
@@solveigst-juste6276 you're welcome. also, I love your pfp ! ^^
7:21 KIM!!!! Im sorry she's in one of my favorite shows right now (supernatural) and I love her, as an autistic teen who's hyper fixated on the show she's in, seeing her made me smile really big.
7:22 KIM RHODES! I used to love her character on Zack and Cody. She seems lovely as well on real life.
Me finally understanding why people are sometimes surprised when I do what's asked of me 😂
right, im going to go get a sensory swing. that shit looks fun lol
also, love the video! helped me learn more about autism
me, who rents: *heavy breathing *
@@ahhh4117 amazon sells metal bars that they can be attached to. But you also looking at spending 150 or 200 for one. Plus you need space to set it up.
@@madisonsines7086 One day, it can be so, for now I'll settle for a hammock
I remember sitting in sensory swings as a kid. I loved them and would have to be limited on how much I could sit in them. I would hog it and not let the other kids use it. I wish I could get another one, but I don't have the space.
these always make me happy
6:41
My friend with ADHD has these rubber earphones that block out most of the noise whilst still letting her hear the teacher and i, being autistic, am thinking of getting some
She says they’re really good!
which brand are they?
@@capitainmavel6318loop earplugs i think
That first one had me in stitches XD
Good on the kid who made it, but that "Autism mix" of sweets has textures that would probably make me puke. Unfortunately, sensory issues among Autistic people run the gamut.
This was so enlightening to watch!
Could y’all help some of the neurotypical people like me who have autistic people in their lives understand them better?
So I’m a sub teacher and work with young nonverbal autistic kids.
They gave me no training to try and help them so I’m just in the dark most of the time.
They don’t speak, they just make sounds from time to time. They put them in class with other kids until they can figure out what to do. I suspect that stresses them out. One of them attacked me. The other one bolts out of the class at top speed and I end up having to chase her and carry her back in.
At lunch, the girl won’t eat her food, but will run up to the other kids and try to eat their food. She loves packaged processed food and will try to open them. I don’t know how to get her to eat her own food.
I took her outside to try and minimize the distractions, and she started eating the fertilizer in the planter dirt instead. She also chewed off every single eraser head in class and eats the play doh.
I don’t know what kind of class environment they would prefer if any to make them not want to run off or attack. I want to help them feel more comfortable with their surroundings.
Any insight would be appreciated :)
A few things that come to mind for myself. Non verbal to me is like talking- you’re almost thinking so clearly you just forget to make your voice physical, or just don’t want to. There’s often a bit of personal bubble/lost in your own world involved in that too- partly because of just naturally being a bit more self contained, partly because thats the more comfortable way to experience/understand yourself and the world around you.
I’d say if they’re acting out like they are, especially if they’re non verbal, they’re probably having a hard time trying to cope/understand/communicate what they’re feeling- you can only benefit from opening ways to communicate with them (pen and paper, picture cards, find one that works for them and get creative if you need to)- especially to help figure out what kind of things might be bothering them, both for stimulus struggles and social frustrations.
They might not know what the bothering thing is a lot of the time, but again you can only benefit from both you and them figuring these things out together. It can be any number of things you don’t realise are aggravating them, especially sensory wise. Lots of things you wouldn’t even think to consider can be really intense with a kind of “nails on chalkboard” feeling- even something as simple as the feeling of socks on my leg, water dripping down your face, the sound of a pencil on paper or too much visual “noise” going on can cause a bit of upset.
One thing I think would be especially useful is some kind of sensory/relaxation/peaceful room where they can go to as a sensory safe place for when things get too much- so they have an escape to decompress or wind down in, whatever is troubling them. Most of the time, getting out of a distressing situation is the first major step of calming down again, so having a place you can go to that’s guaranteed to be away from any other stressors, when you’re in a hypersensitive state, it can be a lifesaver.
Honestly, they’re gonna be learning about their autism and how to understand/navigate the world with it just as much as you are- it’s an ongoing, lifelong process for most of us, but I think if you make the effort to stay open and try to understand, meet them in a way that helps them communicate comfortably, on their terms, it’ll do a lot to help.
Random additional side notes:
If you can talk to or connect with them via one of their passions or fixations, you may never see the end of it, but few things makes us as happy or come out of our shell so much as talking about and bonding over an obsession.
We have little to no sensory filters, so we can’t tune in or out of sounds or sensations- footsteps and rustling trees might be enough to make it hard to focus on a voice. Similarly with physical sensations- being wet, feeling strong wind or touching different surfaces can make focussing hard.
Consistency with textures is an oddly vital part of food- we often prefer vegetables over fruits for this reason (seeded fruits especially can be just awful), we tend to get very fixed on safe comfort foods and be perfectly happy having them over and over and over again, so it’d be a good idea to make sure they’re comfortable and introduced to a variety of food, (I’m super grateful I got familiar with a bunch of stuff across the food groups growing up cos it’s really hard to introduce something new).
We will take things literally- we don’t really understand the concept of saying things without meaning them, so jokes, instructions, tasks and figures of speech can be a little harder to navigate. Turns-of-phrase such as “throw your shoes off” can be taken as a literal instruction to throw- and you will probably have a bit of a learning experience discovering how many of these things there are and how little they make sense XD
Social stuff is HARD- some of us will mimic to get by (usually us girls tend to copy and blend in), but when you don’t know why anyone does anything, or what you’re supposed to do, it gets frustrating real fast. They might not always be interested in learning how to speak human body language or social norms, but some basics such as “nod to show you’re listening because I don’t know if you don’t” and “if you smile at someone, they smile back” can be lifesavers. It’s like learning to understand a dog or a cat- what does this noise mean, why is their tail like that, why did it growl at me, what does it want, how do I respond etc etc.
So often it can feel like the world just isn’t quite built for us, so taking the effort meet us where we need the support and not forcing us to strain to meet neurotypical standards can do a lot- don’t treat us as aliens by any means, but also don’t expect us to play by the neurotypical rulebook. Silence doesn’t always mean calm, a blank face doesn’t always mean disinterest and looking away doesn’t always mean we’re not listening.
That’s all I got for now, I am high functioning so a lot of this should maybe be considered with a grain of salt, but the fact you’re reaching out for this speaks volumes. Hope this helped you gain a bit of a better understanding.
Also time management can be a struggle- oftentimes we can disappear into things and lose any and all concept of time- case and point, I am just finishing up writing this and suddenly it’s 2am XD don’t be afraid to set timers if needed!!! I use them for meal and bed times and they are very much nessecary XD
@@Valledorthedragon Thank you so much!!!
I will take all your advice into consideration.
Yes I want to try and help them as much as I can.
Thanks especially for the comment about looking away. When I talk to the students they frequently look away and I always wonder if they are understanding me or ignoring me because they don’t want to listen.
Wow with the sensory deprivation.
That explains why they don’t like being in class - it’s loud.
They don’t have a room as much as I know but I would take them for walks outside. However now I’m hearing that there are still distracting elements with the sounds and smells, I’ll see if I can find a room for them.
The consistency texture is also an eye opener. Maybe she’s eating the play doh and erasers because she’s hungry and they have a consistent texture. So maybe if there was a food like mashed potatoes or crackers she would eat that. I watched her all day, all she ate was (someone else’s) wafers, some play doh and the fertilizer!
With the other one that would attack me, he stopped after I started taking him outside a lot and touching him. (Weird I know but I noticed he would do self soothing behaviors like suck his thumb) Not invasively, just a head pat or hand holding.
I will be trying to find a book that explains the way the world experienced through autism to help understand. Any pointers?
I don’t know nearly as much as the previous commenter, but in regards to the girl who likes to eat play doh/ chew the erasers off of pencils, there are specific sensory toys that can help with this, such as ‘chewellry’. basically it’s a necklace with a chewable rubber type material attached, which could encourage her to occupy herself with that, instead of with less edible things. It sounds like a stimming behaviour but again, I’m not an expert. I hope everything works out alright!
@@artisticagi physical comfort can be a game changer. When I was a kid, I was always in trouble. l fell through all the cracks.. long story short. I use to hate physical contact, until more recently, when I discovered how calming it can be. Just some basic physical comfort from someone that genuinely cares can be game changing. ( I'm an adult so I don't know if this is true for kids with autism, I have adhd & autism but was undiagnosed for the majority of my life. So this is just my thoughts on it ) but I believe physical comfort, going for walks, escaping the other children and just having a few minutes to reset. I believe that would really help out. Also if you can find a dark room with little to no noise. that should really help for their sensory issues. I've noticed a few places have these kind of rooms for autistic people.
(a very late comment)
for me going non-verbal is like a flip switch, when I get overstimulated. I often masked being non-verbal, and speak anyways, which lead to me being very burnt out, and an extremely temperamental kid, I did the running out of class thing a lot. I really appreciate that you're taking the time to try to get some insight/tips from us
- quiet environments help, if you can afford them get a pair or two of noise-cancelling headphones
- don't force a non-verbal child to speak, maybe try making nonverbal cue-cards, with things like 'yes' and 'no' written on them, as well as some other messages/gestures and signals.
- it's alright if they don't always pay attention, try to accomodate them, and then once they seem calm enough, you can try talking to them. it might take time, but they'll open up
- ask the parents if the children have any particular interests
- fidget/sensory/stim toys can be calming, and stimulating especially if the kids are under stimulated. there's a few you can make yourself without much effort, you can find them on google, UA-cam, or really anywhere on media
- one word chewable jewelry. you can find these on amazon, and they are great. the girl might just need some sort of oral stimulation, or have a stim that requires her to do so.
- since they're all children, they're probably having as tough a time as you. imagine having something constantly annoying/bugging you and not being able to know what it is. it'll take time to understand all their autistic tendencies, and you'll have to be very adaptive.
I love videos like these.
The sound is very uneven between clips, it hurts a bit
About the one about stressing over given tasks and then it turning out to not be necessary, I totally relate! I have a story where I went through that exact thing.
In December my choir does Christmas carol gigs and we have around 18, 19 carols we have to know. You learn a bit of them all at a weekend session near the start of the year but you’re also expected to use Padlet and your sheet music to learn the rest at home. Before the carols season begun, my tutors stressed to us all that it was VERY important to know what we were doing at all times. It was very obvious to the audience when we didn’t, and it wasn’t good enough for us not to know all our carols in their entirety. So in the lead up to my first gig I stressed so much about learning the songs that it had me in tears. I soon learned that we usually ended up working with what we could and the conductors told us that if we didn’t know parts of the songs, just fake it till you make it. 🫠 I was 16.
I was told by my doctor if I did have ADHD (im like 90% sure so I'm pursuing an ADHD diagnosis more than autism {60%}) I wouldn't get any help from the doctors cuz I was doing alright in school and everything 🙃
1:06 OH MY GOSH YOU MADE ME CRY THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS.
ive been making a spotify playlist while not watching this.
The one I relate to is the lady talking about NT ppl. One time in year 4 a sub teacher told us to finish all these questions and you can then pack your bag up, and put your chair on the table. It was the last period and minutes before school’s over.
The questions were complicated and didn’t review the things we were learning that day. Everyone already had their chairs up and I was the only one left doing the work. I can’t remember it specifically, but there was a lot of questions. I was so confused on how so many people finished their work so fast and I was stressing so much. I started to cry and the teacher was wondering whats wrong. I can’t remember if she was purposely joking or what about the answering all the questions but she might’ve said she was joking? Idk 🤷♀️
I was really angry cuz I couldn’t tell if she actually was and just continued crying.
Anyways point is WHY THE FUCK DO NT PEOPLE DO THIS IT’S SO STUPIDDDDD

I clicked when I saw Kim on the thumbnail, that was unexpected.
Thank you to the person who clarified a more supportive logo for autism!!! :) I’m getting a diagnosis soon and I’d like to make a badge with the logo on it to put on my school blazer, so that my classmates can be a little more aware that I have it. I was thinking that I’d go with the rainbow infinity sign but I wasn’t entirely sure that it’s the right logo and I really appreciate them saying that!!
I have non-verbal episodes occasionally. Either when I am very relaxed or very stressed. I tried using a speech app once and everyone thought I was mute and laughed at me when I told them that it just happens sometimes.
Right that aac machine looks really nice 😢
I saw this and I was like
…
Why does UA-cam know I’m autistic?
XD
2:45 Is a ribbon ok? I remember in elementary I saw printed-out ribbons that were colored in, and the door said something abt autism I think- could be wrong, since I have bad memory and it was only one encounter.
0:49 just a warning for my fellow noise sensitive autistics, at about this time the next video starts after a man is talking quite quietly, the music is a bit loud and sudden, it upset me so it may upset you. 💛💛
(7:00) Wait I think my brain's the same. I like to call it "multi-task hearing" because I can listen to a song while holding a conversation. And I also hear every little sound.
Thankfully it's not bad enough to be always overwhelming, but I definitely have sensory overload issues in public regarding this, especially in stores that play loud music overhead.
When sound of the forest described what happens when they take off their headphones and talks about how their brain doesn’t filter the sounds, I immediately thought of that Superman movie where the other kriptonians came to earth and they were BOMBARDED by the sounds and honestly that’s what it’s like sometime 😅
1:06
YEAH, during lockdown my teacher set whole powerpoints for us to follow and complete tasks from, so i did it all and then i was confused when the next day she told us to do the other half of the slides, even though the day before there was nothing saying "complete up to *slide number*"
1:25 i was thinking i was being sneaky by not doing all of them because the teacher doesn’t look at them anyway
The last one really made my day
6:50
Me: moment of realisation*
KAEDE NOOO 😭😭
I have been fighting with the couch to get my very soft pillows and blankets to not be pushed away because I don’t like the texture on my couch
I want one of those swings, but I live in a shared house, and anywhere I could potentially put it is in more overstimulating areas. D:
Stud finders dont find beams, but earth magnets do
Sound of the forest is the best
4:41 sorry i couldnt pay attention to the stuff she was saying bc holy SHIT is she gorgeous omggggggggg
I just understood right that we weren't expected to do all the work at school. I mean it would stress me out too much in the end and I would do almost no work, but I tought I just had shitty professors..
THE “fukk” KID THO 😭🙌🏽

About this one
Am I the only one who doesn't do giant workloads, even if they ARE expecting me to do it so I don't seem... "Weird"
Y’ALL I JUST GOT A SENSORY SWING
A lot of my friends have autisum and i can definantly say that they are very different in the spectrum despite being high functoning
Not trying to be condescending but in the greater autism community functioning labels are considered controversial at best and very problematic at worst
I don't know if your friends use those terms but that's what the discourse looks like and I thought you should be aware in case anyone is rude about it
@@ahhh4117 its all good you're gucci
Love your pfp btw
Also based on personal anecdotes usually if you get along better with autistic people or the majority of your friends are atypical, you're likely atypical too.
is that...the mom from the suite life of zach and cody? 7:43
3:15 your son is a genius
0:40 I relate to this guy so much
I remember googling something and apparently about 40-50% of people with autism have sensitive hearing. (I’m autistic)
I'm if it matters but I have other sensory issues and am not diagnosed nor do I claim to be autistic but I do wear a pair of noise cancellation headphones, that also have a Bluetooth ed feature (I didn't really care about the Bluetooth part but added bonus ig) and I wear them alot, intact they are on RN without Bluetooth because I avec sensitivity to surtan sounds and pitches such if I hear too loudly might cause me to have a full on anxiety attack and begin balling my eyes out. I do love that I can see things that do allow me to know things about others while also learning more about things I deal w/ and I'm considering getting tested for autism but idrk
does anyone have a link for that sensory swing? i cant find a sturdy one online XD
I got a sensory hammock and my dad was helping me hang it up but we forgot that we had to find a stud in the ceiling and I fell out of my ceiling. It was good for 5 minutes though. we have not gotten around to going back to the hardware store…

Wait what? Neurotypicals can focus sounds out to the point they just don't hear them? Or at least don't consciously recognize any other than someone talking? I don't understand, 6:57 isn't that just like...normal? I mean I can't hear fluorescent lights usually.
Can you do a compilation of just Sounds Of The Forest tiktok account? Her vids seem interesting, tried to find a compilation of their videos, couldn’t find any, so if you make one that would be cool!
hi, my name is Bee and I'm autistic I'd like to point out also, that people who use fidget toys for clout and not their actual use is actually ableist
They're just toys. If people like to collect and play with them because they like them let them be. It doesn't matter. Is it hurting you personally? No it isn't. Why does it matter if someone is playing with a fidget toy if they're not autistic or have other mental disorders.
1:40 seems to be a US-thing.
what is your opinion on the best AAC app for nonverbal autistic people.
look at him now 😍🥰😊😇😔🥺

Tik tok needs to work on volume conformity. Because the tik tok that used fight song just kinda made me retreat from the video
5:20-fidget hack
1:38 this is lowkey workplace exploitation
So need that app!
I wish I could get a sensory swing but they all look like they have smooth textures and those drive me nuts oof
do.. do neurotypicals not consider the texture of their food??
Sometimes I consider texture, pineapple and celery is stringy, other things are tough/mushy ECT. But it doesnt make the biggest feature of the food
ok so I've been doing research on autism and other things for over a year by now, and my dad is autistic. I have self diagnosed myself with autism after a ton of research yk, but I hadn't ever taken an online test. Well, I just did. I got a low score/it said I didn't have many symptoms, but that's because most of the questions were how you interact socially when I feel most of my symptoms are how I interact with the world, idk if that's a sign of something else or like what ??? I'm a girl btw
Get professionally diagnosed. If you’re not diagnosed it’s fine to say you suspect you have autism but don’t outright proclaim you have autism if you’re not diagnosed. Also online tests have VERY high False positive and false negative rates. Only a professional can diagnose you
@@therealmarkzuckerberg I am not in any place to be able to see any kind of professional, so that's out of the question. I've done more research, I meet the dsm5 criteria and have a family history of autism so it's pretty safe to say I've got it. I understand what you're saying, but letting myself just be okay with it and not have to worry about if I'm valid or if what I experience is real is so much better than saying I'm like everyone else just because I can't see someone
Sorry this probably doesn't make much sense, I just woke up and my brain hasn't fully loaded 💀

What is a nonverbal episodes
Can someone tell me the name of the candy mix? It looks great but i cant hear what they're saying the name is 😢
Is it just me about because I have a hard time unmasking and some day I don’t even in unmask and tonight was the first time in like 2-3 days I’ve stimmed
What's the aac app they used
I think I might be autistic and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to do the self diagnosing shit and I also don’t want to sound like a hypochondriac going to the doctor and saying “I think I have autism”
hm.. the tik toks are too loud for me. I can't lower to volume anymore and it's still too loud
to the 5:13 girl ......woman.......cool person [that's much better], how does it work / happen? and how long does it last for?
2:53 Where can I find this brand?
I’ve only had a1 flu shot in my entire life and I am autistic.
damn you won the bad luck lottery then.
(I'm not serious)
@@Mondkreischer I guess I did🤣 also it’s super autistic of you to say( I’m not serious)
I have a question for autistic people in the comments, when you have a nonverbal episode, is it hard for you talk or you can't or just don't want to? Sorry if this comes off as rude, I don't mean to be, I'm just genuinely curious
for me, I just don't have the energy to talk when I have non-verbal episodes. and the reasons can be different for many autistic people as every autistic person are different and experience autism differently. ^^
was that zack and cody’s mom
Yes
@@autistically.autistic nice
1:07 i think they do this cause neurotypical people tend to be very lazy? they really dont care, if you tell them to memorise a few they wont bother memorising any but if you memorise all, theyll at least try something. I dont mean to be insulting ive just never seen a nuerotypical person really bother unless they care about what theyre doing. If theyre making something they need to eat theyll make it to their standards, if theyre making for someone else theyll do just enough to not look rude.
1:06 wait……what?
I actually like the autism puzzle piece logo. I really like puzzles and find them calming to do when I'm about to have a meltdown. And I think the symbol fits because autism is just a little piece of me. I don't care who made it. I like it. :)

wait till my anti-vax guardian finds out i, an unvaccinated teen, is very likely autistic
I kinda feel like a dick. As an autistic dad, I don't get being nonverbal. There were times that I WANTED not to speak, but I talked when needed. It was expected of me.
Now that my daughter is nonverbal autistic, I feel ableists, and get upset when she won't communicate.
It is a weird mix of understanding and not understanding, and it is driving me to madness. I love this girl, but I just can't communicate with her.
maybe give her communication cards ? there's plenty online and she can probably use them to communicate !
@@a_little_demon oh it has gotten much better since that time. She has proven she is very intelligent, but she only manages to speak a few things she has carefully rehearsed.
But she knows ABCs and counts using blocks and has started to actually respond to us. Now when she needs something instead of just freaking out when we don't get it she tries to either bring something to show us, or take us to something that would help understand. We do a bit of the cards matching to toys, but she doesn't like them to communicate
I myself have got Autism and I personally love the red blue and yellow puzzle symbol
Why? This isn't meant offensively I just want to know why. I might have autism myself but I honestly don't care.
@@gtfoffmyproperty it's just a personal preference
@@cjsingsandthings3119 I respect that. I personally don't like it, but I respect your opinion on it.
My brother is severely autistic and mostly nonverbal and one time he watched Waterboy and repetitively chanted "needledick, needledick" while laughing
Wdym "severely?" There's no "severe autism." It's a spectrum, so what you're referring to is "high support needs."
@@vintagecrayon4504 ok thanks for the correction
@@knottyseedling No problem! :)
Zach and Cody’s mum is autistic??
