It's so great that people are becoming more aware of disabilities nowadays and I loved watching this video! I'm autistic and I believe that all disabilities should be accommodated. Thank you so much for spreading this kind of awareness! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the comment! It's really important for disabled people to be given the accommodations they need and it's sad how much of the world isn't accessible.
Thank you so much for including a creator with dyspraxia 💕 I have never seen anyone include it and it needs more awareness! This was ana amazing compilation, keep up the great work!
@xx that might be POTS, especially if you had covid before. And a chronic illness by definition is any physical illness lasting longer than 6 months, so it could definitely be one :)
SAAAAAAME. Still working on a diagnosis...at 20, been officially looking for over 3 years, ever since my school screwed me over. Basically got no credit due to attendance (despite being sick, like 102-degree to 105-degree F fever, puking, pain, sweats, etc. sick. SICK SICK, constantly--like 1-2 times a month.) even tho I had good grades. (Which was hard since they wouldn't follow my accommodations, and I basically had to get my entire family for backup--and even then still had to make up a class that I got an F in 'cause they wouldn't let me change which class period I took it at, even tho it was 100% ok with the teacher.) So I had to homeschool the last semester, of my senior year....and it was 2020. They freaking didn't let me pass or have ANY credit due to attendance, even tho I would have had to break their rules of being fever free for 24 hours before coming, to be there, had Dr's notes, and then COVID HIT. Literally a month after I left to go homeschool. So...I hope they learned to not take attendance so seriously, at the very least not for ill students.
5:17 this video is insane! I got diagnosed with dyslexia when I was around 5 years old and I didn’t know any of this. This just goes to show that you can learn new things every day. I also wanna say you should try to not correct anyone’s spelling if they mess up. It’s super embarrassing and I’ve had multiple people correct me on UA-cam posts etc. I know it’s not everyone’s intention to be offensive but it does come off that way. Thank you!
I had an older sister who was disabled. I didn’t know what she had but she couldn’t speak, she would speak in groaning and flapping hands, she needed to get picked up to get to different places bc she couldn’t move on her own, she had bad seizures, needed to be fed through a tube in her stomach, etc. She passed away in 2018 of a bad seizure and it was my first experience with death so it was traumatic. Watching these videos helps me be way more informed than I was when she was alive. And they’re a huge comfort because I see people exactly like her. RIP Rose Mary (Rosie), I miss you.
I went out today for the first time in public with my cane--since my legs and hips were REALLY not having it and I wanted to go out. (No idea what I have yet, still working with my doctors to get diagnosed) My cane is this cool one I was able to find made by an artist, and it has both a telescope and a compass. (Figured that might help if I can and do go on a hike). I unscrewed the compass while sitting down and some dude walking by went, "Is that a flask??" to which I said, "No, it's a compass." Then he went, "That would be a good idea for a flask." and went on his merry way, lol. So, overall for a first time out in public with it, 10/10. Edit: You can find the cane and others on Etsy, the one I got was about 40 bucks then shipping, so not too bad, and it has been working really well! It's made of brass and wood.
As a person with ADHD I end up feeling like… i’m not disabled enough or something. We don’t get bashed as much as Autistic people, or avoided for our appearance like amputees or people with deformities… but we still need help. We still end up feeling just as ostracized. But no one will ever take us seriously. They just think we get distracted by shiny objects and chase squirrels. It’s even worse cause in my case, those stigma’s are true. I do like chasing squirrels, it’s fun. And I like to look at shiny things, they can keep me entertained for hours on end. But I also forget to eat. I can’t keep up with my homework. It takes me hours to complete simple tasks. I’m often in pain, physically and mentally. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but, I just wish people knew we’re more than scatterbrained.
Because you’re not disabled. Technically yes it is a disability but you’re not disabled. It’s a mental illness not the end of the world stop making it your whole personality
For the person at 3:41, I know you probably won't see this but I am so so sorry you had to hear that, that's so messed up. I've heard something similar from a teacher (not to my face, but still) and it's really an awful feeling.
But dyslexia is one of the learning disabilities. It does affect person's life mainly when it comes to reading just because it's not as severe as other disabilities it doesn't mean it's not one.
It’s hard having the world against you and sometimes I feel like an alien and I can’t function like everyone else. But other times, I love being disabled. I love being autistic. I love experiencing differently and I love the community of disabilities coming together and treating each other like humans, it’s not easy being disabled but I love each and everyone and myself not despite, but because of our disabilities.
im self-diagnosed and i rlly love how welcoming the community is to self-diagnosis (with autism) bc its not like i watch a few videos and say "yep im autistic" i do tons of research and i talk to actual autistic female friends that i have and honestly i don't hate being autistic but i wouldn't say i romanticize it or love it. though the community is amazing!
1:26 I’m so glad to see this being said!! Often I end up not using my wheelchair because I feel like people will look at me funny when I get up and walk perfectly fine. Same with disabled parkings, I often feel like I shouldn’t use the disabled parkings because I should save it for the “actual” disabled people - but compilations like this make me feel better about that :)
I would like to thank you for making all of these compilations! They have helped me better understand disabilities and even myself, as I am autistic. It was literally just today that I found out that autism, no matter where you are on the spectrum, is defined as a disability. I didn't grow up in a home that taught me this stuff and they just labeled me as "quirky" or "weird" instead of telling me that I'm autistic and I only recently realized that I am and a lot of what I do and suffer from is related to autism. These videos have helped me not just to learn about autism but to also learn about the other disabilities that exist in my everyday life. Thank you once again!
Love the ones about ambulatory mobility aid users. As cane user my self, awareness about it is important, I confuse people all the time. People sometimes seem shocked that I can walk, like it means like I'm magically un disabled or something.
I love that there are so many awareness videos. Also that adhd video is so accurate I kinda think I’m being watched. And yes I have adhd so don’t be Karen’s in the comment abt me ‘faking’ adhd
I have this thing where my lower legs get heavy, it feels like water pressure, and I can't move them and stuff it's annoying cause it's happening rn. These are comforting
Being told all my favorite things to do were dangerous with a bone related illness i was diagnosed with in my teens sent my ADHD fueled depression in to aviolent but not literally violent spiral, barely held up alongside crumbling social life and a veeeery brokenhome environment. In only in my mid to late thirties undergarment how much i let suffer due to all that sadness and chaos and my ignorance. I'm not religious but I'm definitely a praying man while i start to accept myself and get gradually healthier all over again it seems... it's uplifting to come on UA-cam and see so many other ambulatory disabled and neuro-spicy people who understand the struggle in this burnt out neuro-plain bakery that we have to call our society... thank you so so much for being such an awesome community.
Tw! This has venting in it! I have dyscalculia and this affects me daily. It’s a type of dyslexia, math dyslexia it’s also known as. Have a very hard time to grasp math terms. It’s embarrassing to have this for me, it’s made me feel useless in my math class to be honest. Sure, I have a math tutor who’s amazing at her job, a special needs class(aka Learning lab) and accommodations for this disability. Alas, it’ll not just go away, this is a life long condition that I have to deal with for the rest of my lifetime. Yes, it can get better over time, it’ll always be here though. Whoo! That was a lot, I just needed to get that off my chest. I have a plethora of other things, but my dyslexia is the thing people mostly don’t see and just think I’m “not working” and or “not paying attention “. (Btw, the other things are gender/spesices dysphoria and anxiety)
I love watching disability TikToks because it helps me understand myself more. I have joint and muscle pain, not to the point of chronic just yet, but it’s getting worse the more into my teen years, as well as dizziness when I stand up. I feel like I don’t need a mobility aid because my pain isn’t chronic. This makes me feel better about wanting a wheelchair for my bad days.
7:27 I’ve never related to a video so much in my entire life. Also, could you please do a TikTok comp on Scoliosis? I rarely ever seen them and it’s nice to know that people understand what I go through
I absolutely love the person at 3:40. The whole world and especially the government needs to hear your message every day. Crazy how people can disavow what happened in 1930s germany while openly sharing the perpetrator's viewpoint.
Much love and respect to you guys living with disabilities, you are such strong and beautiful people and a big inspiration to me. I am so glad that now people with disabilities are getting the support, respect and recognition that they deserve for their amazing acheivements. Keep being awesome and remember that you are always loved and supported 😃❤👍
I did the ice bucket challenge for like the 20th time because my mom has als so whenever i get the chance to i participate in that. I told some of my classmates about it and they said "that challenge ended years ago because nobody has that anymore" yeah lets just say i had to explain it to them and now they are angry because "i made them look stupid" sooooooo yeah. Thats fun.
Thank you a lot for posting these cause im using them to make myself feel that its ok that i need a wheelchair and that it is getting hard for me to be mobile and that there are good days where i just need my cane. Really i hope you have a magical life. 🤗🤗💜💜
my parents were basically poor and when my ma got pregnant there was a 50/50 chance i would have down syndrome but they still went through with the pregnancy and I ended up not having down syndrome
1:46 has made me consider the option of a cane, I struggle with balance and standing for too long and my chronic pains get bad if I do stand for too long anyway. I’m not sure though, because I only really have a chronic illness and chronic pains ^^”
I occasionally use one, however my family tend to make a big fuss about it. One of my great aunts yelled at me saying I probably should not be in special Olympics if I have joint/nerve issues and lack of depth perception and dyspraxia. Perhaps someday I will feel more comfortable using it. Also, I struggle with the noise of the cane hitting the loud tiles as I walk.
What really sad is that sometimes i need a cane to get around but my family has made me feel like I'm not "disabled enough for one" which suck! So i would encourage more people to inspire others who need them sometimes to use them even if others try to judge because you get more out of your life.
I have an iron deficiency(it causes fainting spells) and i frequently am low on sugar in my body(i don’t eat enough due to my body not telling me what it needs) Here is what i do to make my life as a secondary school kid easier: - ALWAYS HAVE WATER, can help with iron-deficiency-caused headaches - keep candy or sugar packets on you - be sure someone around you knows of the deficiency and any other important things!(Make sure they are able to explain why you fainted if you do) How i take showers when i’m low on iron and don’t have access to things that help(at summercamps, anywhere outside of my home really): If you can, sit down or lean against walls if you have accommodations like a shower chair, USE IT. it helps so much! and this one includes at home! Use accommodations when you can, stay safe everyone ~Ace/Tubbo/Scar/Lee/Elliet
Have you tried liver steak? Brazilians often have them in their meals to replace iron in the diet cuz livers are full of iron, you can also try spinach but remember to always cook it before eating! Also much love from Brazil!
@@missgms7781 Unfortunately, because i am a minor who doesn’t have access to drive just yet, i can’t really but it does help when my family can get them/remembers to- thank you for the tip! Love from the US, blessed be! :) ~Tobias(he/they)
I go around in a wheelchair and have autism I was rolling down the street and I hear a mother say to her 7yr old 'that's why you look when you cross the road ' I just stared at her am I an a? (I'm 15)
No you were in the right. I would be pretty pissed honestly I'm also autistic and physically disabled and id probab yell although I'm quite confrontational
I should use my cane when im out but I dont because people ask why I have a cane.. so I just go without it limping around then just deal with the pain afterwards
0:49 this is kinda the first time ive thought the exact words "damn im so lucky to have autism" cause otherwise id be questioning every social decision and not have any explanations. now i can blame it on autism😎
@@indighost6623 i dont want to be normal. autism is not a personality trait. it is merged with my personality. i have been diagnosed since around age 5, so i dont know anything different and it is how i have always been. im not seeing it as 'quirky' and 'cute' so please dont be cold and accusatory like that. internet doesnt convey tone so well.
@@mykemurfy I’m not telling you to be “normal” autism isn’t part of your personality it’s a disorder linked with yourself. By you blaming your decisions on autism is making it a personality trait when it’s not
@@indighost6623 im not trying to blame decisions on it. im linking it with little annoying habits i wish i didnt have (think of it as association). please just try to see from a different pov. i dont want to argue about things in a youtube comment section because its pointless, stressful, and often makes things less enjoyable for other people.
I have several autistic friends and I love them so much. Every braindead teenager in my school makes fun of my autistic friends and I would jump to defend them if anyone made fun of them in their faces (which they already do on their backs). Being close friends with them has teached me that they are super warm-hearted and friendly and that no one should judge them as weird or dangerous. I also have a teacher with dwarfism, she's super friendly and I often start a conversation with her when I see her on the hallways. And to all those f*ckers that consider autistic people weird, grow the f*ck up! Thanks for coming to my TED talk, I love you and you are valid
Because the symbol is used by Autism Speaks. The Charity is known for being more of a place to let moms go off about how "autism took my baby from me" and "finding a cure for Autism". They don't actually help autistic people. They just continue to spew ablest bs. That's why it's a hate symbol.
Eh not really. That’s like saying you can be “a little bit autistic” when you can’t, you’re either autistic or not. You can be autistic and have very different symptoms/needs to other autistic people(because autism is a spectrum) but you can’t be a little bit on the spectrum because the autism spectrum isn’t “not autistic to autistic” it’s a circle that encompasses anyone who’s autistic.
My legs are constantly sore, of course some days there better and some days their worse but they are still painful, i dont want to bringit up to my parents because they always say oh it will go away but theyve hurt like this for years i told mymother i think i am autistic and she basically said i dont thjnk you should say that because you watched a video or listened to a story, but i didnt i reasearched and reasearched and reasearched
I know this is an older upload, but just a heads up... even if you click full screen on the video, some of the clips that have multiple text sentences over the person in the video - the text is too small to read by people with certain types of sight issues & it isn't enlarge-able by increasing font size. 🤷🏻♀️ & lol, as you know the video topic is disabilities. 🤦🏼♀️
I just started to realize that some of my "nearly uncontrollable stims" may be tourettes, so i came here to be peer reviewed. Can someone with tourettes tell me if this constitues a tic? I have motor tics that i thought were just my autistic self getting sensory overwhelm, but what im asking about is these: i make these noises when i get very happy or uncomfortable or any very strong emotion and i have extreme difficulty regulating them. I looked it up and i found that apparently people are more likely to have comorbid autism, epilepsy, and tourettes (having one means youre more likely to have several of them) im just curious if these noises seem like vocal tics or if theyre just really strong stims. Also, i show every single symptom of autism but my parents tell me i never had any developmental delays (even though im diagnosed adhd) so id like to know what yall think
I was completely unaware that “Asperger” was an offensive term. I have had professionals use that term around me all the time. Why is this term offensive? I really wanna know.
It's because the term was invented by a N@zi so he could categorize which autistic people he would "get rid of" and which he thought could be useful for society
I'm sorry about that, tiktok doesn't let people download videos with captions if those captions were created through the tiktok caption feature and youtube captions aren't on as default. I am now turning on youtube captions for all my videos.

I now have an autism tiktok compilation on my channel and I thought you might want to watch it
The link: ua-cam.com/video/v4_FyOoPym8/v-deo.html
@@randomxstuff Agreed. I’m Visually Impaired and have a Guide Dog
As somebody with dyspraxia and autism, that last tiktok was really relatable. Alot of those things was stuff i was insecure about at one point.
4:59
This one taught me the sign for illiterate and it’s such a pretty sign and so stimmy
Thank you so much for including a creator with dyspraxia 💕 I have never seen anyone include it and it needs more awareness! This was ana amazing compilation, keep up the great work!
As someone with run undiagnosed chronic illness THIS IS ME
I'm glad you feel represented!
@xx that might be POTS, especially if you had covid before. And a chronic illness by definition is any physical illness lasting longer than 6 months, so it could definitely be one :)
@xx pots means an increase in heart rate by more than 30 (adult) or 40 (minor) bpm after 10 minutes of standing up. Fainting doesn’t always happen!
SAAAAAAME. Still working on a diagnosis...at 20, been officially looking for over 3 years, ever since my school screwed me over.
Basically got no credit due to attendance (despite being sick, like 102-degree to 105-degree F fever, puking, pain, sweats, etc. sick. SICK SICK, constantly--like 1-2 times a month.) even tho I had good grades. (Which was hard since they wouldn't follow my accommodations, and I basically had to get my entire family for backup--and even then still had to make up a class that I got an F in 'cause they wouldn't let me change which class period I took it at, even tho it was 100% ok with the teacher.)

So...I hope they learned to not take attendance so seriously, at the very least not for ill students.
Same!
Dispraxia is almost never included in video like these (or when people talk about neuradivergencies in general), so this makes me really happy:D

Dyslexia for me at Least can also causes bad balance when walking but when I’m on a non
Sturdy surface. It can be easier at times.

- keep candy or sugar packets on you
- be sure someone around you knows of the deficiency and any other important things!(Make sure they are able to explain why you fainted if you do)
How i take showers when i’m low on iron and don’t have access to things that help(at summercamps, anywhere outside of my home really):
If you can, sit down or lean against walls
if you have accommodations like a shower chair, USE IT. it helps so much! and this one includes at home!
Use accommodations when you can, stay safe everyone

Have you tried liver steak? Brazilians often have them in their meals to replace iron in the diet cuz livers are full of iron, you can also try spinach but remember to always cook it before eating! Also much love from Brazil!
@@missgms7781 Unfortunately, because i am a minor who doesn’t have access to drive just yet, i can’t really but it does help when my family can get them/remembers to-
thank you for the tip!
Love from the US, blessed be! :)

@@acethepacifist1041 You are welcome!
thank you for putting their pronouns!!
I’m not smart apparently, and forgot autism is a disability.. I’m autistic 💀
I go around in a wheelchair and have autism I was rolling down the street and I hear a mother say to her 7yr old 'that's why you look when you cross the road ' I just stared at her am I an a? (I'm 15)
No you were in the right. I would be pretty pissed honestly I'm also autistic and physically disabled and id probab yell although I'm quite confrontational
7:37 thanks for reminding to take my meds holy shit
I think I might need a cane or something like that because of my hyper mobility/flexibility is always is bad in my legs and back
I should use my cane when im out but I dont because people ask why I have a cane.. so I just go without it limping around then just deal with the pain afterwards
6:33 I love their energy!
Same lol they seem so fun
@@jdgfshdjfkakahdkshfhdjdh yeah he seems fun, compared to others like the lady at 0:49
5:18 i have dyslexia and for some reason i was so surprised that a vedio about dyslexia !!!
im dyslexic and texting is hard for me and reading lol
2:03 Im not even gonna lie they kinda look like Izzy from tdi :O
these are so amazing to watch and learn about! yall are so brave and strong and beautiful :))
i learned lots of things thanks to this video!
0:49 this is kinda the first time ive thought the exact words "damn im so lucky to have autism" cause otherwise id be questioning every social decision and not have any explanations. now i can blame it on autism😎
No you can’t because using your autism as a personality trait is weird… don’t do that
@@indighost6623 i dont want to be normal. autism is not a personality trait. it is merged with my personality. i have been diagnosed since around age 5, so i dont know anything different and it is how i have always been. im not seeing it as 'quirky' and 'cute' so please dont be cold and accusatory like that. internet doesnt convey tone so well.
@@mykemurfy I’m not telling you to be “normal” autism isn’t part of your personality it’s a disorder linked with yourself. By you blaming your decisions on autism is making it a personality trait when it’s not
@@indighost6623 im not trying to blame decisions on it. im linking it with little annoying habits i wish i didnt have (think of it as association). please just try to see from a different pov. i dont want to argue about things in a youtube comment section because its pointless, stressful, and often makes things less enjoyable for other people.
💗Jesus loves you so much!💗
4:43 wait you are allowed to use a mobility aid without a diagnosis?
I have several autistic friends and I love them so much. Every braindead teenager in my school makes fun of my autistic friends and I would jump to defend them if anyone made fun of them in their faces (which they already do on their backs). Being close friends with them has teached me that they are super warm-hearted and friendly and that no one should judge them as weird or dangerous. I also have a teacher with dwarfism, she's super friendly and I often start a conversation with her when I see her on the hallways. And to all those f*ckers that consider autistic people weird, grow the f*ck up!
Thanks for coming to my TED talk, I love you and you are valid
Hello! So at 0:49 it says "the puzzle piece is a hate symbol" could someone plz explain? (It's not that I don't believe them, I'm just wondering why)
Because the symbol is used by Autism Speaks. The Charity is known for being more of a place to let moms go off about how "autism took my baby from me" and "finding a cure for Autism". They don't actually help autistic people. They just continue to spew ablest bs.
That's why it's a hate symbol.
@@deltaevergreen6225 Tysm for explaining, that's good to know
0:52, ok but legitimately wtf “you cannot be a little on the spectrum” yes TF you can, that’s why is a ✨spectrum✨
Eh not really. That’s like saying you can be “a little bit autistic” when you can’t, you’re either autistic or not. You can be autistic and have very different symptoms/needs to other autistic people(because autism is a spectrum) but you can’t be a little bit on the spectrum because the autism spectrum isn’t “not autistic to autistic” it’s a circle that encompasses anyone who’s autistic.
My legs are constantly sore, of course some days there better and some days their worse but they are still painful, i dont want to bringit up to my parents because they always say oh it will go away but theyve hurt like this for years i told mymother i think i am autistic and she basically said i dont thjnk you should say that because you watched a video or listened to a story, but i didnt i reasearched and reasearched and reasearched
8:00 BUT WHAT IS THAT SONG
Hey my fellow peeps. So I found out I have ADHD which explains a lot of stuff
love that you put their names and pronouns at the bottom
I know this is an older upload, but just a heads up... even if you click full screen on the video, some of the clips that have multiple text sentences over the person in the video - the text is too small to read by people with certain types of sight issues & it isn't enlarge-able by increasing font size. 🤷🏻♀️ & lol, as you know the video topic is disabilities. 🤦🏼♀️
What does the creator at 0:53 mean by "you cannot be a little on the spectrum"?
I think what they mean is that you cannot be on the spectrum by only having like one trait of autism? I’m not very good at explaining things 😅
@Poundcake ok good I thought they were talking about age regression which is a trauma response that can definitely happen to autistic people
I just started to realize that some of my "nearly uncontrollable stims" may be tourettes, so i came here to be peer reviewed. Can someone with tourettes tell me if this constitues a tic? I have motor tics that i thought were just my autistic self getting sensory overwhelm, but what im asking about is these: i make these noises when i get very happy or uncomfortable or any very strong emotion and i have extreme difficulty regulating them. I looked it up and i found that apparently people are more likely to have comorbid autism, epilepsy, and tourettes (having one means youre more likely to have several of them) im just curious if these noises seem like vocal tics or if theyre just really strong stims.
Also, i show every single symptom of autism but my parents tell me i never had any developmental delays (even though im diagnosed adhd) so id like to know what yall think
what does the person have at 8:18?
6:24 thats me but doing a crab but using my head instead of hands and idk y bx it hurts my neck and now I have a headache
7:59 thats y escapism 10 minutes sped up chorus came to the rescue and how have u watched 8 mins of this
8:10 I pretended to be q cat and hissed at ppl
"We come in peace"👽
I was completely unaware that “Asperger” was an offensive term. I have had professionals use that term around me all the time. Why is this term offensive? I really wanna know.
cuz it's named after a nazi
It's because the term was invented by a N@zi so he could categorize which autistic people he would "get rid of" and which he thought could be useful for society
Hans Asperger was a n*zi and he decided which autistic kids were “functional enough” to live and unalived the rest.
Blind people watching this :
◼️◼️wow love this inclusivity
This is a joke so please don't take this as hate
Wait, im not disabled, but I do have aspergers and adhd
those are considered mental disabilities
No captions :(
I'm sorry about that, tiktok doesn't let people download videos with captions if those captions were created through the tiktok caption feature and youtube captions aren't on as default. I am now turning on youtube captions for all my videos.
"Disability tiktok? Probaly those gay people." -👴
Honestly, women with disabilities (physical or not) are low key, pretty attractive
