Autistic People Answer: What is your favorite thing about being autistic?

Hi there! I’m Eden. For autism awareness and acceptance month, I asked our followers to send in videos of themselves answering the question: what’s your favorite thing about being autistic? These were their responses.

This was sooo awesome and gave me chills. To hear a little bit about myself in each and every person also gave me hope and inspiration. Thank you for this video. I love the autistic community and being apart of it myself. I think it’s a great way for people to talk about their experiences and be heard. I only got diagnosed a little over a year ago and for me to find out that there is a reason I am different was one of my favorite things! My name is Kenny!👋🏻

I really like how person at 18:16 talks about special interests and how even if they're stuff like a book series or something they're still important and good

The person who wore the blue and white jacket speaking about how the littlest things make them happy brought happy tears to my eyes. That was such an amazing answer
