      Thanks so much for getting in touch and sharing your daughter's experience - we really appreciate it - we would love to hear more if you'd like to get in touch with us. (hello@nipinthebud.org) I'm not sure if you've found the other resources useful that we have (www.nipinthebud.org/films-parents-category/ocd/ ) - it sounds like you've already sought out lots of info and support so this may be redundant but I wanted to pass this on: www.nipinthebud.org/blog/5-ways-to-help-manage-ocd/
      We also have a newsletter that we send out regularly (but not too regularly!) for parents with updates & info if that feels like something you'd like to receive: www.nipinthebud.org/sign-up-for-our-newsletter/

      @@thethirdeve5089 Basically I was doing research on ADHD, brought it to my psychiatrist and she told me it sounded more like autism. To figure out what it was she sent me to a neuropsych who then did the whole diagnostic process. I would start by presenting your parents with evidence you’ve collected and then to a doctor. It’s harder when they are not as close to you like a psychiatrist, so a therapist would be even better if you have one.

      Hi there, excuse the delayed response - we wondered whether you could ask your parents if they could watch this film - either with you or separately and then perhaps together so you can talk about it together? Or is there perhaps another trusted adult who you could ask to be part of that conversation if you'd prefer company? We hope it helps either way and please stay in touch.

    I met an autistic man who is 67 years old at the gym over a year ago to be precise. He’s initially so hard to approach and even made me feel like he doesn’t like me but it’s not necessarily true. I managed to connect with him and I feel that I want to protect him and be his friend no matter what.
    I don’t know why. But I feel like he’s a noble man with a good heart and - as a friend - I wish I could be there for him to make him do well and happy. Do I feel compassion? Maybe. But all I know is that I want to make him feel like I am there for him. Yet at times he seems to be kind of second-guessing me or doubting me.
    It’s a total different experience and I don’t know how to handle it at times.

    Three years ago; 2020, my interest in Autism was sporadic, disjointed due to lack of education in IT. Your willingness and well thought out introspection about (at least) Charlie; as your treasured son of now 12 (?) is the best educational module (that period in time) that I've listened through. Thank you for that. Recognizing that every Autistic is different and must be
    interpreted in an entirely different lens was something I inherently knew albeit couldn't yet place in words.

    Hi, this is such a helpful video, thank you for making it,; being so open and authentic about what you are experiencing and the complexities of handling a growing child. I especially liked how you referred and have identified that sometimes there will be "normal" bad behaviour and other time there will be "Autistic" behaviour. That is a really clear learning point for me. At this stage I don't have an official diagnosis of my child, also aged 9yrs, but a lot of what you portrayed, not all, but sufficient to make me want to continue to get a proper diagnosis, huge thanks. You are making a big difference in peoples education and understanding of what is going on and how to cope. Don't give up. Oh and lots of love 'Dan and Charlie, I know you are a great team.

    Being autistic is not something straight as being neurotypical. Our brains just work different, some people are sensitive, some aren't much, most struggle socially, we feel like aliens in this world. Then it just bring more problems like anxiety and depression because of those struggles. I have different friends with Aspergers/ASD too and of course, they are different people, because Personality comes first, and the disorder comes second, plus it doesn't feel exactly the same for everyone. Every single one is different. one of my friends with autism sometimes even shakes when shaking hands with people and another of my autistic friends even though the way he talks is a bit weird, he doesnt feel bad for it and he is really good at socializing, even sings in front of audiences.

    To me, time goes slower. Since I don't feel or sound like a man. I feel like i'm still just a kid, still a child to my parents view. They have mentioned us four children of my family, that we are still youngsters to eat too much sugar, fast food, ect. Despite me, and my two brothers being legal of age, we don't feel like older people yet. I am okay being treated like a pampered baby boy child. Time goes very slow in my perspective and view of the world.

    Hi I've just been watching your channel I've been fighting for 5 years to get a diagnosis and we had an assessment we got the diagnosis ASC
    What you talk about makes so much sense how my son is and has been since he was 3
    At this point my son isn't in school he is privately tutored by specialists tutors we have got a school for him to start in a specialist school in September as he was expelled from mainstream due to having no remorse when bullying children and hurting them this has been going on for a few years though
    We have told our son that he is different to others
    My son comes in my bedroom in the morning and we talk
    I've gone through alot of hitting the other day he was spitting at me
    He does like putting his forehead onto mine
    We still are unsure what his triggers are
    He hand flaps having trouble sleeping he says he is bored and not tired it's 10 pm
    I'm hoping now we have his diagnosis more doors will open
    Hope you don't mind me mailing
    You talking about your son just sounded like mine

    Beg to disagree with dad but rigidity/lack of flexibility in thinking and planning, being overly sensitive to sensory impact, a lack of ability to discuss and understand feelings and emotions as well as displaying seemingly odd repetitive movements/stemming/rocking in the bath are all very common and typical autistic traits.
