- What are the common autism traits for an autistic person? In this video, I go in-depth about 5 signs of autism that you should know when you comes to autism spectrum conditions. Some of the autism traits I talk about here are relating to sensory sensitivities, repetitive behaviours etc. The purpose of this video is to make people aware of traits that are relating to autism. To help people better understand autism spectrum conditions as a whole & to identify common autism symptoms for their own knowledge.

All traits. The more I know about autism the more I am convinced that I am autistic.
yep, same here. i was diagnosed with adhd when i was a teen but ever did anything about it. i started looking it up again and think i might actually have autism. it got a bit harder and harder throughout the years to maintain relationships or make new friends. i somehow don't know how to do it anymore.
Same 😭
Same
Special interests for me would be games, shows and movies I enjoy. I can go on FOREVER as to why I like it. I watch alot of theory videos now.
I love alot of game soundtracks.
I also have an obsession with secret things. Like secret safes, rooms, passages, compartments etc.
Ooh I love the final fantasy soundtracks (FF10 is my all-time favourite). Sounds like you enjoy alot of stuff which is always cool. Though I've never been fascinated by secret things but it's cool though.
you are amazing , just the way you are . don't let anyone bring you down . i love you .
Same, I was obsessed with league to the point of knowing every stats of every champion, the best builds, etc. Now I'm going crazy over Linux and am building my own distro from scratch to have something that is strictly designed for desktop usage with a full AMD setup.
I was thinking about letting my traits pass and not talk to my doctor, but your videos helped me realise that my possible diagnosis will not change me. I'm still myself, I'll just have an explanation for my "weird" things
Hi Jenna! I'd say that it doesn't change anything. It just provides some answers to questions about yourself you may have had. But I'm glad the videos help!
Euphoric! That's the first time i heard someone describe a special interest that way, but its totally true. Especially that first moment when i've realized that i've tapped into something new. Then as time goes on I guess it turns into some kind of lower-level bliss.
Omg I really relate to the struggle with social interaction! I forget to say hello or goodbye to people all the time lol. Or if someone says "hi Serena, how are you?", I'll say "pretty good" and then neglect to return the same question.
Thank you for exploring the differences between social interaction and communication, it is an interesting nuance!
Aww gosh the struggle is real! 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
I can’t praise you enough Andy. You communicate in a way that me & my daughter can relate to. My daughter as a young girl was obsessed with dogs. She had a book she studied She learned every page. She now embraces her differences. Yes she has terrible anxiety but she copes. People like you help immensely. So bless you. We send so much love. Embrace. Accept. Learn & appreciate how beautiful you are. 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Keep up these very informative videos. We salute you 😘😘😘😘👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌
Hi both, hope you are both well & thank you for your comment I really appreciate it! Gosh that's amazing! I mean dogs are the best as well so it's all a win!
That is such a nice thing to say & it truly is nice to be appreciated so thank you!
I have been fighting for my son to get a proper diagnosis, and after everything c19 wise, I finally was able to get it set up... and now I am scared. I constantly fear I’m going to fail my son. Your videos have put my mind at ease... thank you.. May 4th we start the process.
Yeah, I definitely annoy other people by always talking about the same things all the time. I can talk about my special interests for hours
is it odd that i really like the way you speak? like your cadence is really satisfying
Haha ooh gosh no that's fine by me! I also love a good cadence in music mainly 😂 Hope you enjoyed the video!
I like the way you say books

I am autistic and I cant wash dishes. Because I always burn my hands. I just dont feel if water is too hot.
You are a most excellent communicator! Thank you for clarity and the help you are giving - is HUGE.
Yes, I often can't think of what say after the word hello. Its a big anxiety!
Yeah, your voice is so much better AspieWorld , and most other male aspies on youtube, mine included, so pretty informative channel. I find the female aspies though have a leg up on the voice and inflection thing, as they do in the nuerotypical world as well.
Aww thank you very much! Hmm I wouldn't say that they do personally but we are equally capable to get where we want to be!
My autistic romantic partner noticed my overstimulation from sounds and told me i might be autistic. Upon researching i couldn't stop relate to so much stuff... 24yo and just discovering i'm autistic...
Was diagnosed a few days ago, your videos are very helpful and informative
With the gradual using of dr Oyalo herbal recommendation for autism, whom I met on UA-cam, my son is totally free from Autism with his speech cleared and behavior ok as he can now respond to name, orders and act right. Thank you doc Oyalo for your help
I can be very repetitive. I don’t like the not knowing either. If something is too different with things it can throw me alot.
Yeah it's not that I can't ever be spontaneous but it just helps having a plan I guess 👍
I’m obsessed with the Haunted Mansion in the Disney parks. I know the ghosts’ names, and the names of the people who designed the ride. I have books and documentaries. Just on this one theme park ride. I have funko pops of the ghosts and a Haunted Mansion board game.
I don’t know if I’m autistic yet though. I’ve thought i might be for quite a while, and I’m planning to get professionally seen about it, but it has yet to happen. If I am autistic, though, it would explain why I like This One Very Specific Ride so dang much that I know EVERYTHING about it.
I also love stuffed animals and kids toys and get overwhelmed by new things super easily. Also sensory stuff. I take my plush sea slug everywhere so if I get anxious I have something soft to feel.
Aww well I hope when you do go through the diagnosis process that it goes ok. To be fair, I know a few people who are like that who obsess over things including me. I've been obsessing over Star Wars again and learning all the facts and additional stuff that's involved in the world.
That's one of the reasons I like taking classes- I get a regular schedule...jobs fluctuating days/times is a pain for me- i do better more rigid schedule and jobs i am qualified for general- like restaurant/retail (though restaurant work can be a bit of a nightmare- depending on the workplace for me some I am fine with but can be overwhelming especially for a lot of us on the spectrum the constant noises can be hell) that's common of course.
I like the kitchen buzz (like frying food) usually- but i can't deal with extremely difficult co-workers (like someone who is not a manager screaming in my face & trying to prevent me from clocking out on time).
My special interests are The Bloomsbury Group and music. I could tell you the birth and death dates of the members of the Bloomsbury group and when they lived in a certain place and quote pages upon pages of Virginia Woolf. Channels like these are so brilliant because I finally don’t feel odd for loving something so intensely. Thank you so very much. Realising this has made me a lot more comptable with my OCD and anxiety
Hi Elizabeth! That sounds really cool to be honest. I'm really into my music so I feel I could learn alot from you. It sounds really interesting, I guess it's just about finding people who like or have an appreciation for those interests and I know there will be people. Aww well thank you that's nice of you to say. I'm just happy to help 👍
My 2 year deals with a lot of these traits BUT he's extremely smart. He does and says things sometimes that leave my eyes wide I'm floored like did a baby just do that?! What the heck! When I realized I couldn't spank him. He liked it and he thought things were a game, I was wearing myself out until I started to change my ways to fit his needs so things will be easier for us both. Things have actually already been better the last couple months! I'm happier and he's extremely happy and he's listening more and he's not trying to get a reaction from me bc he thinks it's funny.

Such an informative video! ☺️
Aww thank you so much Iris ☺️
one of my special interests is (obviously) jojo's bizarre adventure. i LOVE that franchise a lot and i could talk about it for hours until i get tired. i recently got up to the episode where yukako is being a crazy to koichi and its really good so far! im excited to get up to part 5 even though ill probably cry a lot.

wat?
I have to smell and taste everything no matter what it is. I also have to feel texture of everything. And I don’t like kitchen towel or wool clothing.
Atypical is a really good show about a kid with autism
Monotone voice speaking loudly is one trait I have. In high school I been told I talk too loud even when my mom in her room watching tv and I am downstairs with my brother I talk too loud to the point my mom can hear me even if she is upstairs
I am not on the spectrum but I am an inteovert. I struggle with understanding hand gestures and body language. It is deceptive and i hate it plus I do not like small talk.
Usually 4/5 because I'm an extrovert, but I do remember 1 time when I totally forgot what I was meant to say lol
I would say I relate to the sense traits the most. I'm very sensitive to touch
I totally forget what I was going to say many times and I’m a 4/5 extrovert or i want to be an extrovert. I also repeat things over again and people get annoyed at me because I’ve already said it and it would be hard to keep the conversation with accidentally repeating
You know I adore Harry Potter but I also love airports! I tend to find social everything a little challenging as I can’t always tell if someone is joking. That or what I find funny, they don’t! People are difficult 😂
I certainly do follow Hufflepuff 👍 Ooh that's cool, what is it about airport for you that you like?
Haha I can agree with you on that one 👍
The entire time I was watching, I couldn't help but fixate on your teeth, which are really cool and vampire looking. ;]
On another note, I am one such person who doesn't know whether or not I am autistic, but I am fairly sure that I don't have ADHD or OCD. I would go to a medical professional but now's not the time, and I've been told that since my behavior is 'not a problem' that I wouldn't have anything to gain out of being diagnosed. To which I disagree, because at the very least, it would tell me if I am autistic or not so I don't end up falsely claiming so, which gives me more anxiety than I could explain. I assure you that my questioning is not baseless and I've tried to build up a list of shared things I experience.
I got every one of these traits except social interaction because I am good at social interaction for (except for in groups)

Can you explain what it feels like when you feel a stim coming on? My son is sensitive to lights it seems, and either he will side eye, shake his head with his eyes fixated on it, or he will start crying. I just wish I could feel what he feels so I can understand whats going on in his beautiful head. Sorry if thats like a bad question to ask, I am so new to all of this. Its kinda funny, i worked with kids who are on the spectrum in all levels, but its different when it hits home. I feel lost.
What do i do if i dont like telling people that im autistic.
For me it's embarrassing and awkward.
Any advice?
To be fair, you don't have to tell people that you are autistic if that's what you want. But I think that it's about thinking what's embarrassing or awkward about it? If it's things about you that you do then that's you just being you. Which I know others might not accept but that's other people's problems you know. Take the time to accept you for you and I think the rest just comes with time.
For me I didn't get to a stage of acceptance until I was in my adult years. But definitely learning to just understand yourself and not letting other people's views get you down is the key. I hope this helps 👍
@@IndieAndy thank you so much for responding, yeah i get it it's just i don't know. everytime i do tell someone there is a awkward tension in the air until something else happens. i do tend to overthink a lot like "will they think less of me" or "will things be the same will it stay awkward" just too many things to think about. well sorry for bothering you I'm sure you have much better things to do. Sorry
You really don't have to tell anyone! If you want to only tell some people you're still completely valid ❤️
I hate trying new foods and I’m very picky about textures of foods or if my meat is touching my potatoes
Im desperate will like to know about how you guys respond to pain I have a son with severe autism non verbal its depressing not knowing when he is in pain

I feel like I am but I feel like I am just gonna fake it even tho I have traits
I'm way oversensitive to sound, especially loud bass in cars.
amen to that brother!! i HATE that
I have 4 yr grand daughter
I think I’m autistic but I don’t really know as I thought autism was a completely different thing
I’m having a hard time understanding what someone is saying in one explanation, I have to tell them to repeat it twice and slowly so that it could process in my brain.. does that mean I’m autistic?
Not necessarily but if it something that happens often, I would research more into it as I cannot and will never diagnose people 👍
I just collect everything
"facebewk" 😂♥️
Video really starts at 2:00. First 2 min are pure hell.
Why exactly?
@@IndieAndy
It is annoying if people do not go straight to the point and are insulted by "Hi, how are you"
Well that's fair enough but I don't agree and not the approach I want to take. Makes me too impersonal.
@@IndieAndy
Ok, maybe we agree that we disagree on this issue :)
Wait- it's normal for autistic people to keep changing special interest?
My grand daughter is autistic
And I talk about random facts about animals
I'm autistic, got diagnosed in late summer 2017, October was about 2 and a half weeks away if I recall correctly.
I noticed in myself I have multiple special interests, not just a single special interest, languages are a special interest, art is a special interest, psychology and even videogames I also have other special interests that wouldn't be appropriate to talk about here due to it being related to aspects of adulthood but is it common or uncommon to have multiple special interests?

I don’t really like routines I just like to ask a lot of questions
