My son is verbal but uses short sentences or a few words to get his point across. He can read like nobody's business, It's retaining the information that he struggles with. He's freakin' hilarious too. Always smiling and loves to dance. His mom doesn't know what she's missing, But I won't give up on him. I've dedicated my life to caring for him and honestly... Best job I ever had.
Thank you for being a not giving up like it sounds like his mother did. Not many good parents out there, whether it’s from their own choices or just lack of knowledge. This world needs more great parents.
Ok here’s the plan: Have him outside as much as he can, especially sunrise/sunset and campfires (IR light for Immune System), creatine for his brain, NAC as a powerful antioxidant, organic carnivore or keto diet. You’ll be giving him his best chance at life. Good luck and love him up! I used to text myself my son’s amazing insights and comments when he was young. ❤ 💪🫡
My son is 32 now, but he was the same way. He could read and spell before he could talk and he used to spell words instead of saying them. He is still hilarious and happy and talks all the time. ❤
Sounds like you described me in my childhood. In high school I did a very short and on point essay. My teacher was autistic too so I got complimented on it. I was his favorite student.
Yeah sounds like your not that autistic if you can write that! Please don't take the piss out of real autistic people that can't fene for themselves! Yes the ones that need care for the rest of their lives!🖕
I didn't get diagnosed until I was 49. I had been diagnosed with PTSD and Panic Disorder and OCD for decades, but Therapy and medication wasn't helping much. I finally met a Therapist who had an adult son who was Autistic. She spotted it instantly. I found that meeting a Therapist who had learned about it through first hand experience made all the difference. In 30 years of mental health treatment, she was the first one who really understood me.
👍 glad you know what’s going on. Now you need to help your body: NAC and Vit D are your new best friends. These powerful antioxidants ate shown to especially help autists. Creatine too is great for mind clarity. Eat organic carnivore or organic keto to avoid dementia & Alzheimers. Also being outside as much as possible (VitD explosion! Your body can make 20,000iu of VitD in a day vs the measly 400iu pills) especially at sunrise and sunset and campfires (IR light) will boost the Immune System. Good luck brother and conquer this world!❤
Here too. Diagnosis at 53 after being under the mental health system for roughly 25 years. Mine was with ADHD and the young doctor, after a minute or so he said: !Wow, we've got some SERIOUS ADHD going here haven't we?"... my jaw hit the floor until he said: "I have it too.". He gave me the hope that I can get it under control as he did. It's almost blissful when you don't have to explain everything time and time again.
As a kid with autism, I can say that I have had a lot of bullying and sensory issues. I also ask a lot of questions and have a favorite/ typical interest in science, I don't have a strict routine because I can't be bothered, I never made any sounds or showed expressions when I was younger, I do have a bit of a keen memory, and think differently and more logically than other normal people.I am weird/ different from other people in thinking skills and lickings to stuff. I also have a lot of sensory issues. I do also move my hands sometimes. so there you have it peoples, this is very accurate
I have these traits too especially when I was younger, I'm 29) I was diagnosed when I was 28, so pretty late in my life 😅, but the traits and behaviour were all there for years, it just took 28 years to finally realise I was in the spectrum (ASD). Other than that I agree with you, this video is accurate.
Do ALL autistic people have problems with eye contact? Because the responses vary so much from a psychiatrist to another or an autistic person to another.
@@TheLastEgg08 nah not every single person. I do think it’s a common sign. And I do think a lot of autistic people learn that eye contact skill. I absolutely hate eye contact but I’m getting better at doing it. I also know an autistic person that never stops making eye contact.
i was diagnosed with asperger syndrome. All make sense now. I dont have friends attending my wedding ceremony, which was a very shocking situation last time.After that I become aware with people, and scan anybody thoroughly before making a move or talked to them. People call it masking, but i call it defend mechanism. I feel easier if i reject people first before getting rejected afterward.
I'm not autistic, and I'm definitely weird. Haha. You are who you were meant to be. If We were all the same, it would be a boring world. You be you! ❤ 4:32
Its a different operating system, am sick of being telt by NTs that am not right half the time av always seen wor world in black and white there is nee grey
My son, who is now nearly 7 years old is Autistic. Super smart. He understands when his mother or I ask him to do something, and still is non-verbal when comes to communication. He echoes a lot, repeating words we say to him. Due to being born shortly before Covid and going through that, he unfortunately really didn’t have much association to other children his age until he started kindergarten. I can tell that him being in school and developing routines as well as observing others has helped him come along tremendously.
As a 23-year-old male with high functioning autism, I was bullied a lot when I was younger all because I process stuff differently from others. Regardless, as I grew up, I become very smart and intelligent and capable of becoming a successful fictional character writer and UA-cam Gamer.
One of the most fascinating things to me about autism is how common it is. It may be exaggerated, but I once heard a figure of aroudn 1:200 people having at least minor autism. You see, meet, and interact with autistic people every day and don't even know it.
@Νήρια Βαρβέρη I argue that autism does have degrees to it. One autistic person may groan and scream and hit himself on the head in frustration, another may just be almost unnoticeably awkward and can't read certain social cues. You could say there aren't degrees to autism, and that both of these people are simply just autistic with no other labels necessary, but there are still obvious differences between the two.
Yep, I'm on the spectrum too and it is true (I think) ASD is very common, the reason why most will not be able to tell is because a lot of us on the spectrum are very good at masking it (due to society and people who are not neurodivergent may not understand) so a lot of neurodivergent people try to assimilate into non-neurodivergent lives. Until society learns to accept people are wired differently in their brains then....yeah people will be shocked to learn that many people are autistic or have autism.
@@person4579 Then how do you distinguish between a high-functioning autist who masks really well, and a nonverbal autist who screeches and shits himself in his 30s? I would absolutely say there's a scale of severity to autism.
Muy cousin asked me last week about this topic no her child. I did not had a clear guiadance back in medschool days about this. I am so Glad to have found this Quick Pearl..amazing how clear and quick you can learn a topic on the fly. Thank you
It’s taken me MANY years to understand that autism is really not an intellectual disability. It’s literally a different wiring in the brain!! And I am understanding why I have known since I was a kid that I was wired differently!
I was diagnosed at age 58. I had always been somewhat different but was lucky enough to have had parents who taught me to play to my strengths. As a result, I had a successful career as a teacher, utilising my extremely good memory and my apparently high level of intelligence. I'd retired by the time of my diagnosis, so I do not know how it might have changed my teaching, if at all. However, it certainly has changed my life. I am a lot more gentle with myself. When I am overstimulated, I withdraw to a quiet place. I avoid those things that upset me. For example, I have always found haircuts to be distressing, but now, at 70, I have long hair. Autism has bad publicity, focused upon the negative, yet I am happy to be autistic. Autism has been my friend over the years. Yes, it can create severe issues, but it can also be life enhancing. When the public hears the word, most probably think of a child having a meltdown or similar. There would be less negativity if people realised that autism comes in many "flavours" and that a successful, fulfilling life is possible for someone with autism.
I consider my autistic spectrum daughter a gift,she brings profound insights into situations with laser speed and simplicity while others are clouding issues with speculating ,panic and time wasting.
Alchohol *helped* me alot in my life to survive in this world.. till now iam 29 sick liver & autistic & hope/helpless + a benzodiazepine addiction.. autism is hell & so sad 😢
As a person who struggles with Autism, I have had my share of battles with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. Though I have been getting better at interacting with my peers and maintain a job, I still have thoughts of struggling to get by in the long run as I grow up what will the future have for people like me? We’ll just have to wait and see
same im 18 yo actually I have autism, ADHD and a lot of stress that causes me insomnia (4-5hours of sleep max each) I want to be a doctor later but it will be soooooooooooo fucking hard if I keep having insomnia (I'm back on ADHD meds so it's okay for that). Stay strong.
I was diagnosed later in my life. In am in my thirties. The only thing I disagree with in this video is that not all of us are nonverbal in our early stages of life. My mother said I was born talking and asking questiinon on top of questions on top of questions about everything. She would get upset with me for talking so much.Which would turn around and shut me down.
@@slimthickaz.You do realise an autistic child is an autistic adult right??? We don't just "grow out of it" by a certain age. Please don't spread misinformation like this because you don't know what you're talking about and it's damaging to the autistic community. Educate yourself properly and re-watch the video because clearly you didn't listen hard enough. He literally talks about the struggles adults have maintaining relationships and jobs!! 🙄
It seems that until recently most autistic knowledge had been acquired by studying males. In fact it was a belief that females couldn't be autistic. As it happens it's because females by their innate difference to males have some very different traits than them. One of those being language and also they are much more adept at so called masking meaning they learn to mimic and hide their difference.I personally see this as translating. My natural facial expression is a foreign language to the average person, therefore I have to translate to them. Of course there is also sometimes a form of being politically correct if you will where the situation calls for a certain emotion that I don't necessarily feel or not to the same extent than the collective. It's in my eyes the same as people using a white lie to be polite. This discovery has lead to a large number of late in life diagnostics of autism in females ,me at 45 for example, and in fact in females speech and smile are often found earlier and more frequently than the in the average baby. I was forming complete sentences before I was 1 for example.
good that you showed the real spectrum. Nowadays "the 3 levels of autism" are often confused to be the spectrum but it is just the severity scale (and ICD & DSM have finer diagnoses than just 3 levels.) I got flamed in discussions bc of that by higher functioning people, had to leave a "self help" group.
wow.... so my homegrown theory on autism was acthually correct O.o Its basically a failure of synaptic pruning leading to increesed noise in the system meaning just an overall stronger signal all the time bypassing sensory filter threshold and thus making the brain unable to distinguish between important info and unimportant.
I am 34 and i have a mild form of autism known as aspergers and I struggle with making eye contact, sometimes bright lights bother me, I used to rock back and forth alot when I sit, and I still do sometimes. I struggle with landing (job interviews are a nightmare for me) and holding jobs (got fired for not showing up to work due to depression and anxiety or quit due to depression and anxiety) due to anxiety and mood swings, and I have trouble understanding emotions of others and keeping a relationship (right now I'm single, never been married and have no kids). I've lost alot of friends in the past and I don't really keep in touch with my family anymore. I've been on so many different medications and none seem to have worked. I just hope that over time, i can resolve these problems or find some kind of counseling so I can cope with life better.
It is worth noting that the condition formerly known as "Asperger's" or "High-Functioning Autism" has, in recent years, been folded back into Autism Spectrum Disorder as part of the wider umbrella term. This is due to two things 1. Categorizing neurotypes within the spectrum can create confusion, or worse, belittle the struggles of those whose overall symptoms may be considered "not as severe" by neurotypical standards. 2. The name Asperger is that of a Nazi scientist, whose work was largely used as fuel for eugenicist propaganda. As the medical field adopts a neurodiversity model of studying these conditions, it is becoming common sense not to name said conditions after a man who saw people like you and I as having "inferior genes".
@@tyjuarez As well as the FACT that the perceived "severity" has nothing to do with OUR INTERNAL EXPERIENCE but with how people OUTSIDE us see our behavior. Autism is Autism and IMO only non-autistics feel differently about the subject.
@@colleenvaught6829Plenty of autistic people feel differently, too. We are just as diverse a group as allistics; our sole 100% unifying factor is our difficulties with communication.
I was diagnosed with aspbergers when I was real young. I'm 35 now and life has been a complete rollercoaster since then. I was mercilessly bullied as a child all the way into adulthood. I've had numerous mental breakdowns, trouble concentrating, and major depression. It's definitely not fun. I recently applied for disability and am still in the process of being approved. But I've learned that this is just how it is, and have developed ways to cope with it. Because of the bullying though, I have severe trust issues. Because I was so desperate to make friends, people would take advantage of my kindness. They would only be my friend when they needed something from me, then drop me like a bad habit. Because of that, I barely have any real friends. Really wish people would take this more seriously and learn more about it.
I got diagnosed with autism at 17 years old. I've went to many psychiatrists, to psych wards etc. They would usually just say that "I'm too young" to be diagnosed. Only when I went to a specialist in the range of autism, I got tested and diagnosed. It helped me instantly. People would say I'm mean, weird, or insensitive until now. Just because I wouldn't use gestures or catch eye contact society assumed I'm insensitive or egoistic. Now I get why I get along with people on the spectrum better. In psych wards or usual psychiatrists would usually just diagnose me with adaptive disorder or "mixed disorders of conduct and emotions" which didn't help me at all - You could even say the exact opposite: I would get SSRI antidepressants like three or four times and they absolutely lowered my energy and caused me suicidal thoughts. Not to mention what benzodiazepines did or neuroleptics. Now, people actually understand that just because I need to be alone for some time in a day or I get irratated or that I talk about tabu-like topics in often don't say I'm demoralized or edgy. Also, the associated conditions also match pretty well, epilepsy, gastrointestinal problems, huge social anxiety in the past etc. Before I got the papers and the diagnosis, I would just be missed as being mean to others, controversial, asocial, weird or ungrateful.
I recognize most every thing in the video in myself until you get to the list at 4:29 which focuses on delays. My mom used to tell me I walked early and knew everything thing about trains (could name all the cars and engines at 2yo). Mom also said if we were going to or saw Mc Donalds I would repeat "Hamburginer, Frenchy Fries and Coke" at age two. She said I was a good baby (before 2) who never cried and was happy to be all by myself. It seems I was ahead of my age group. I wish they had started me a year early in school as I found my peers to be childish and slow so I purposely avoided them. Not only was I a target of every bully both kids and teachers but also every social group in every class. I also found school to be repetitive and boring. But I could never finish my work in class because of all the noises and smells. I would get in trouble for thinking out loud (talking in class) or rapidly wiggling my legs or shaking my feet both at home and in school. I knew the difference between a '6' and a '9' but if missed a math problem it was because I transposed one to the other while reading the problem and.... Anyway, the point is that early signs of autism should focus on both early and late developmental milestones, instead of just late milestones.
Yep. This is why so many weren't diagnosed as kids. They used to only focus on those with delays and/or deficits. It is a spectrum after all, but they seem to forget this point.
There's a giant misconception in this video. We don't talk about "severity" anymore, for a LOT of reasons. Being a spectrum means there's no "more" or "less" of it. It's a spectrum, not a gradient. In the visible spectrum, blue is not "more color" than red, blue is blue, red is red, with it's on characteristics.
When I combine what he was saying with the images, it seems that he was saying something more like: For every characteristic within the spectrum, there may be a different severity level in each case. And that would be correct.
I am very sensitive to loud sounds. As a kid, I was terrified of balloons and would be scared if there were balloons at parties I went to. I was also afraid of fire drills and would be nervous the whole school day if I knew a fire drill was about to happen. Now, as an adult, I’ve learned to tolerate some sounds, but sometimes, it gets unbearable, and I’ve snapped before because I was so overstimulated or scared by extremely loud sounds.
I relate to your comment regarding oversensitive to people's feelings. I realized that I'm also empathetic to others feelings. Like a walking lie detector. Possible you might research. Just saying I've figured out quite a bit about myself outside the medical realm.
I have like social anxiety and I absolutely hate loud noises from people but Musik I blast that idk why my anxiety is killing me though I can’t even talk to people properly sometimes I just look at them after giving them something and when somebody talks to fast my brain just stops working lowkey I don’t think I will ever get a job with my problems my dog died this year like everything is so hard for me to say sometimes it’s crazy anyway a nice video cool to know about autistic people and the spectrum!
late diagnosed at 29.. things make more sense yet. yet some people around me suspect i can just "build a bridge and get over it." then wonder why i "yelp" when my door gets knocked on suddenly when im extremely focused in a task. alls i really want is a place of my own to be alone and work on my videos..
Important tools to improve mental health and energy are Mirathia (ithought Mental Health Care),Light Language Activations healing, Reiki healing,and Quantum Manifestation
The concept of spectrums and layers and variations. These defining and redefining… overlayed into reality of better, while not diminishing people. The rights of individuals and groups matter so very much. The reality is…. Mental health and variations on social security have been abused over historical contexts. It’s also true, we need better in many streams and pools.
This video is the best explanation I've seen. It's important to caracterize ASD as a real "disease" with real causes, grounded on science. Unfortunately, the narrative that "everyone experience it differently" alone make it feel as if it is almost a "choice" to be autistic. It's not. There are biological factors. environmental factors. Evidence of neurological differences. Real world consequences like not being able to get a job.Every autism talk should have a basic scientific cover before going to ""how people experience it"
I had this idea for a cool zombie outbreak story where people who have autism are immune. I think it sounds cool. Not sure what other people would think though, everyone has their own opinion
Glutathione is a redox buffer that regulates ATP production in the mitochondria. I have been using liposomal glutathione for about 20 months now. I "suck" 2 - 4ml in the morning and I find that my REM sleep is greatly improved. I awaken after 7 - 8 hours of nutritious sleep, usually after an imaginative dream. This makes me less autistic. My brain feels more creative and energetic. I'm trying to spread the word, I want people to study this simple treatment further
People have told me all my life they think I'm autistic. But the reasons they give sound like they're just saying I'm more mature than they are. I don't laugh when somebody farts. I can say the word penis without smiling. If a woman tells me no, I don't try to convince them or force them. I pay attention and make sure I understand before I respond. I don't interrupt people. I genuinely try to treat people the way I would like if they treated me. I believe the entire concept of money is foolish. I believe in telling the truth, even if it means admitting mistakes and being embarrassed. I don't believe in things that cannot be perceived. I generally assume that people mean exactly what they say. The list goes on
Im not diagnosed and dont need a diagnosis. Ive always known it was either asd (or aspergers is what i said to my dad when i was 9) and Willing to debate with anyone about it, especially experts and professionals
Ah, yes. The next phase in human evolution. Imagine being left out or not having a 158 IQ. That's scary. I once reprogrammed an entire game from a notepad exe. It was Command and Conquer: Generals.

Funny how I am a grown Autistic man and I have no job , 25 yo , live iwth parents, no friends, no money , no job, parents don't understand me, I dont have autism, I am autistic, every day is a hell lol ,I don't know what the fuck to do, no one i s helping, I recieved the diagnosis 2 years ago in summer, but I can't figure a way out of this shit I am in , I know I am not wrong and I see the world from a different perspective, I know It is built by neurotypical people,but I can't find my way out without others judging and limiting me as a weirdo, I do not harmi a fly.. can someone give me suggestions? I love the woorkworking stuff, I'd love a career by that, I have some bought over the years tools , but I can't do much , I have few special interests since a was kid, and my routines don't change, if they change I will fight my way back in , that is scary and dangerous.. I feel so much that I can't feel anything, or I feel only negative emotions, someone help? The psicologists that took the test to see if I am Autistic or not, want money for therapy, by the way , I don't need a therapy , I need a freaking help by a job that can carry me out and it lets me build my woodworking carreer, can someone relate and answer me loll? I want hheeeelllpppp! !!!
Try to see if there are resources where you live…I have sons with learning disabilities and a program helped with getting a job and school. They are both in their early twenties.
I was diagnosed with autism/ADHD and I'm 26, currently unemployed and recovering while living with someone, my friend. I heavily relate to your story in some areas. Though you may feel a loss of hope, I remain positive that you will find people to be in your life who want to help you thrive. In my experience I ended up finding the most important people currently in my life from being online. It helps to engage with your passions and special interests as much as you possibly can and find people who share those interests. You will get to where you wish to be some day. You're not a failure, if ever you thought that, you're stressed and in pain and I have been there, I'm still there honestly. The biggest advice I was offered recently is to take each day as it comes, basically take it slow. If you can tolerate it, school may be an option for woodworking but failing that, I think that joining communities around woodworking - UA-cam channels, SubReddits, maybe even forums, online tutorials - can help you figure out where to go next. You deserve to make that choice. Anything you find relieves your stress, whether it be video games, books, TV, is important to keep doing. Personally, I play games and read books as much as I can to keep a clear head, especially when life doesn't give me a break. My partner and I have been playing a lot of Armored Core 6 recently and I highly recommend it if you like the mech genre. Keep in mind the things that make you happy and do them as much as possible.
Do you have videos about Developmental language disorder? This often is symptomatic as ASD but is a completely different diagnosis, needs different treatment and is more common than ASD.
Hello, may I know at what age did you start to speak? This questions is for every autistic person that reads this. My son is 6+, he can read, say words and loves singing but when a question is directed at him even a simple yes or no is hard to get out of him. I can get it out of him if I sing it to him though.
At 18 months, my vocab was basically family tittles (mom, dad, grandma, etc), animals, some names (the name of my favourite cats) and some abstract concepts (trought it may be echoalia, I often words like alone and help) I believe I knew about 30 words at that time. I never had issues with talking, it was more with gestures like staring and smiling, I also know I've been overeacting about stimuli before 6 months old. Maybe, you do a different body language when singing? Or maybe he interprets your non singing language as something to be scared of (sorry if this sounds rude, before I was four, I would fear any grown up who didn't made a baby voice - including my father - for me so I trought about that) also he may not get that you're asking smt, if he has this vocab, try to say it instead of doing a asking voice tone (I'm 14 and still not understand what is a question voice tone)
@@downrodeo I think some autistic kids have good ability of memory.They can read words than normal kids at this age.my son is also autistic kid.5years old.he can talk.he but only thing he can't communicate well.
for me, I struggle to say yes or no because I am trying to process all of the potential outcomes of my answer. If I say yes to going to the pool, then I have to get ready and have to acknowledge that I am going to get wet and will have to socialize and be in a setting with other people. If I say no, I don’t want to go, then I may be missing out on spending time with my family and enjoying an activity that I like, but I may need time to recharge and process everything.
Neural diversity and intersections…. History and neural diversity and rights of individuals and groups. I’m not autistic nor bi polar nor ADHD nor paranoid nor did nor anxiety ridden nor nor nor…. I am gifted and the reality of rights of people and groups really really matter. There’s a large set of sets of conditions of groups using other groups over time and space. This stuff isn’t always easy… yet the better is workable. Breathe ya’ll… group dynamics and mimicking are not the same things. #LoveEVICTShate #language and data and adoption spectrums of diverse audiences.

I assume that like me, most were severely isolated at some point. It just seems like your mh symptoms have more to do with the ways and stages of development in which you were isolated/abused/neglected, with some MINOR genetic susceptability involved. Anyone who was raised like I was would have been socially awkward, allergic to grass (not exposed), and not reach milestones like crawling, talking, or growing teeth until 5 years old. But, since I gained appropriate amounts of weight, I didn't qualify for a failure to thrive diagnosis, and instead got pdd-nos. And bpd, abandonment. Anxiety, apathetic parenting. Depression, chronic invalidation (aka gaslighting). All of these are INTRINSICLY linked. All this causal gene stuff is sus when you look at the spread, exponential growth, rise of total working hours, distracting screens, heavy metal poisoning of two generations that shall not be named, and the "autism-like" behavior of kids right after quarentine.
My son is verbal but uses short sentences or a few words to get his point across. He can read like nobody's business, It's retaining the information that he struggles with. He's freakin' hilarious too. Always smiling and loves to dance. His mom doesn't know what she's missing, But I won't give up on him. I've dedicated my life to caring for him and honestly... Best job I ever had.
Thank you for being a not giving up like it sounds like his mother did. Not many good parents out there, whether it’s from their own choices or just lack of knowledge.
This world needs more great parents.
Ok here’s the plan:
Have him outside as much as he can, especially sunrise/sunset and campfires (IR light for Immune System), creatine for his brain, NAC as a powerful antioxidant, organic carnivore or keto diet.
You’ll be giving him his best chance at life. Good luck and love him up!
I used to text myself my son’s amazing insights and comments when he was young.
❤ 💪🫡
subtly bashing his mother will only hurt your son... get it together
My son is 32 now, but he was the same way. He could read and spell before he could talk and he used to spell words instead of saying them. He is still hilarious and happy and talks all the time. ❤
Sounds like you described me in my childhood. In high school I did a very short and on point essay. My teacher was autistic too so I got complimented on it. I was his favorite student.
So glad my disability is now known as the “Extraordinary Attorney Woo condition” 💀💀 At least it’s better than “Sheldon Cooper disease”
❤
I love Attorney Woo.
@@loverainthunder❤❤
Yeah sounds like your not that autistic if you can write that! Please don't take the piss out of real autistic people that can't fene for themselves! Yes the ones that need care for the rest of their lives!🖕
My husband, who has Level 2 autism, just calls it Forrest Gumpism.
I didn't get diagnosed until I was 49. I had been diagnosed with PTSD and Panic Disorder and OCD for decades, but Therapy and medication wasn't helping much. I finally met a Therapist who had an adult son who was Autistic. She spotted it instantly.
I found that meeting a Therapist who had learned about it through first hand experience made all the difference. In 30 years of mental health treatment, she was the first one who really understood me.
👍 glad you know what’s going on.
Now you need to help your body: NAC and Vit D are your new best friends. These powerful antioxidants ate shown to especially help autists.
Creatine too is great for mind clarity.
Eat organic carnivore or organic keto to avoid dementia & Alzheimers.
Also being outside as much as possible (VitD explosion! Your body can make 20,000iu of VitD in a day vs the measly 400iu pills) especially at sunrise and sunset and campfires (IR light) will boost the Immune System.
Good luck brother and conquer this world!❤
I was just diagnosed at 50 and my experience is VERY similar to yours.
Ptsd? are you sure you're not masking sensory overload
Here too. Diagnosis at 53 after being under the mental health system for roughly 25 years. Mine was with ADHD and the young doctor, after a minute or so he said: !Wow, we've got some SERIOUS ADHD going here haven't we?"... my jaw hit the floor until he said: "I have it too.". He gave me the hope that I can get it under control as he did. It's almost blissful when you don't have to explain everything time and time again.
As a kid with autism, I can say that I have had a lot of bullying and sensory issues. I also ask a lot of questions and have a favorite/ typical interest in science, I don't have a strict routine because I can't be bothered, I never made any sounds or showed expressions when I was younger, I do have a bit of a keen memory, and think differently and more logically than other normal people.I am weird/ different from other people in thinking skills and lickings to stuff. I also have a lot of sensory issues. I do also move my hands sometimes. so there you have it peoples, this is very accurate
I share in your pain. I hope things get better
I have these traits too especially when I was younger, I'm 29) I was diagnosed when I was 28, so pretty late in my life 😅, but the traits and behaviour were all there for years, it just took 28 years to finally realise I was in the spectrum (ASD).
Other than that I agree with you, this video is accurate.

Do ALL autistic people have problems with eye contact? Because the responses vary so much from a psychiatrist to another or an autistic person to another.
@@TheLastEgg08 nah not every single person. I do think it’s a common sign. And I do think a lot of autistic people learn that eye contact skill. I absolutely hate eye contact but I’m getting better at doing it. I also know an autistic person that never stops making eye contact.
i was diagnosed with asperger syndrome. All make sense now. I dont have friends attending my wedding ceremony, which was a very shocking situation last time.After that I become aware with people, and scan anybody thoroughly before making a move or talked to them. People call it masking, but i call it defend mechanism. I feel easier if i reject people first before getting rejected afterward.
It's okay to protect urself ❤❤
As someone In their late 20’s. It’s refreshing to see that I’m not weird. Just made different
I'm not autistic, and I'm definitely weird. Haha. You are who you were meant to be. If We were all the same, it would be a boring world. You be you! ❤ 4:32
Its a different operating system, am sick of being telt by NTs that am not right half the time av always seen wor world in black and white there is nee grey
Weird is wonderful ❤
Built different
I work at a daycare and we have two boys who are autistic. I watched this video to try and get a better understanding of them😊
There are some UA-cam channels of autistic people. You can understand better from them.
@ Noted. Thank you!
My son, who is now nearly 7 years old is Autistic. Super smart. He understands when his mother or I ask him to do something, and still is non-verbal when comes to communication. He echoes a lot, repeating words we say to him. Due to being born shortly before Covid and going through that, he unfortunately really didn’t have much association to other children his age until he started kindergarten. I can tell that him being in school and developing routines as well as observing others has helped him come along tremendously.
The most succinct video on the topic I have seen. I have an autistic son. Thank you.
I downloaded this thing for an easy reference guide for all those folks that don't get it and don't have any attention span.
As a 23-year-old male with high functioning autism, I was bullied a lot when I was younger all because I process stuff differently from others. Regardless, as I grew up, I become very smart and intelligent and capable of becoming a successful fictional character writer and UA-cam Gamer.
One of the most fascinating things to me about autism is how common it is. It may be exaggerated, but I once heard a figure of aroudn 1:200 people having at least minor autism. You see, meet, and interact with autistic people every day and don't even know it.
@Νήρια Βαρβέρη I argue that autism does have degrees to it. One autistic person may groan and scream and hit himself on the head in frustration, another may just be almost unnoticeably awkward and can't read certain social cues. You could say there aren't degrees to autism, and that both of these people are simply just autistic with no other labels necessary, but there are still obvious differences between the two.
I think the rate is even higher than that actually
Yep, I'm on the spectrum too and it is true (I think) ASD is very common, the reason why most will not be able to tell is because a lot of us on the spectrum are very good at masking it (due to society and people who are not neurodivergent may not understand) so a lot of neurodivergent people try to assimilate into non-neurodivergent lives. Until society learns to accept people are wired differently in their brains then....yeah people will be shocked to learn that many people are autistic or have autism.
Its 1 in 40 and also autism can't be described as 'minor' or 'severe'
@@person4579 Then how do you distinguish between a high-functioning autist who masks really well, and a nonverbal autist who screeches and shits himself in his 30s? I would absolutely say there's a scale of severity to autism.
Muy cousin asked me last week about this topic no her child. I did not had a clear guiadance back in medschool days about this. I am so Glad to have found this Quick Pearl..amazing how clear and quick you can learn a topic on the fly. Thank you
It’s taken me MANY years to understand that autism is really not an intellectual disability. It’s literally a different wiring in the brain!! And I am understanding why I have known since I was a kid that I was wired differently!
I was diagnosed at age 58. I had always been somewhat different but was lucky enough to have had parents who taught me to play to my strengths. As a result, I had a successful career as a teacher, utilising my extremely good memory and my apparently high level of intelligence.
I'd retired by the time of my diagnosis, so I do not know how it might have changed my teaching, if at all. However, it certainly has changed my life. I am a lot more gentle with myself. When I am overstimulated, I withdraw to a quiet place. I avoid those things that upset me. For example, I have always found haircuts to be distressing, but now, at 70, I have long hair.
Autism has bad publicity, focused upon the negative, yet I am happy to be autistic. Autism has been my friend over the years. Yes, it can create severe issues, but it can also be life enhancing. When the public hears the word, most probably think of a child having a meltdown or similar. There would be less negativity if people realised that autism comes in many "flavours" and that a successful, fulfilling life is possible for someone with autism.
I consider my autistic spectrum daughter a gift,she brings profound insights into situations with laser speed and simplicity while others are clouding issues with speculating ,panic and time wasting.

I’m autistic and a drug addict too baby!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Sorry that u hate it so much tho, I have my bad sides to autism too.
Love you, I truly mean that
My autistic son was hyper verbal. Started talking at 6 months!
As a person who struggles with Autism, I have had my share of battles with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. Though I have been getting better at interacting with my peers and maintain a job, I still have thoughts of struggling to get by in the long run as I grow up what will the future have for people like me? We’ll just have to wait and see
same im 18 yo actually I have autism, ADHD and a lot of stress that causes me insomnia (4-5hours of sleep max each) I want to be a doctor later but it will be soooooooooooo fucking hard if I keep having insomnia (I'm back on ADHD meds so it's okay for that). Stay strong.
@morgandoak1776 at which age u started understanding others language and started response plz let me know I am mother of autistic kid
I was diagnosed later in my life. In am in my thirties. The only thing I disagree with in this video is that not all of us are nonverbal in our early stages of life. My mother said I was born talking and asking questiinon on top of questions on top of questions about everything. She would get upset with me for talking so much.Which would turn around and shut me down.
I don't think he said that... he said it's one early sign.
You don't have it. Especially being diagnosed later in life. Those ones aren't valid.
@@slimthickaz.You do realise an autistic child is an autistic adult right??? We don't just "grow out of it" by a certain age. Please don't spread misinformation like this because you don't know what you're talking about and it's damaging to the autistic community. Educate yourself properly and re-watch the video because clearly you didn't listen hard enough. He literally talks about the struggles adults have maintaining relationships and jobs!! 🙄
@@slimthickaz. The hell did you just say?
It seems that until recently most autistic knowledge had been acquired by studying males. In fact it was a belief that females couldn't be autistic.
As it happens it's because females by their innate difference to males have some very different traits than them. One of those being language and also they are much more adept at so called masking meaning they learn to mimic and hide their difference.I personally see this as translating. My natural facial expression is a foreign language to the average person, therefore I have to translate to them. Of course there is also sometimes a form of being politically correct if you will where the situation calls for a certain emotion that I don't necessarily feel or not to the same extent than the collective. It's in my eyes the same as people using a white lie to be polite.
This discovery has lead to a large number of late in life diagnostics of autism in females ,me at 45 for example, and in fact in females speech and smile are often found earlier and more frequently than the in the average baby. I was forming complete sentences before I was 1 for example.
good that you showed the real spectrum. Nowadays "the 3 levels of autism" are often confused to be the spectrum but it is just the severity scale (and ICD & DSM have finer diagnoses than just 3 levels.) I got flamed in discussions bc of that by higher functioning people, had to leave a "self help" group.
wow.... so my homegrown theory on autism was acthually correct O.o Its basically a failure of synaptic pruning leading to increesed noise in the system meaning just an overall stronger signal all the time bypassing sensory filter threshold and thus making the brain unable to distinguish between important info and unimportant.
I am 34 and i have a mild form of autism known as aspergers and I struggle with making eye contact, sometimes bright lights bother me, I used to rock back and forth alot when I sit, and I still do sometimes. I struggle with landing (job interviews are a nightmare for me) and holding jobs (got fired for not showing up to work due to depression and anxiety or quit due to depression and anxiety) due to anxiety and mood swings, and I have trouble understanding emotions of others and keeping a relationship (right now I'm single, never been married and have no kids). I've lost alot of friends in the past and I don't really keep in touch with my family anymore. I've been on so many different medications and none seem to have worked. I just hope that over time, i can resolve these problems or find some kind of counseling so I can cope with life better.
How did you study for school.
It is worth noting that the condition formerly known as "Asperger's" or "High-Functioning Autism" has, in recent years, been folded back into Autism Spectrum Disorder as part of the wider umbrella term. This is due to two things
1. Categorizing neurotypes within the spectrum can create confusion, or worse, belittle the struggles of those whose overall symptoms may be considered "not as severe" by neurotypical standards.
2. The name Asperger is that of a Nazi scientist, whose work was largely used as fuel for eugenicist propaganda. As the medical field adopts a neurodiversity model of studying these conditions, it is becoming common sense not to name said conditions after a man who saw people like you and I as having "inferior genes".
@@tyjuarez As well as the FACT that the perceived "severity" has nothing to do with OUR INTERNAL EXPERIENCE but with how people OUTSIDE us see our behavior. Autism is Autism and IMO only non-autistics feel differently about the subject.
@@colleenvaught6829Plenty of autistic people feel differently, too. We are just as diverse a group as allistics; our sole 100% unifying factor is our difficulties with communication.
Wishing you all the best
I was diagnosed with aspbergers when I was real young. I'm 35 now and life has been a complete rollercoaster since then. I was mercilessly bullied as a child all the way into adulthood. I've had numerous mental breakdowns, trouble concentrating, and major depression. It's definitely not fun. I recently applied for disability and am still in the process of being approved. But I've learned that this is just how it is, and have developed ways to cope with it. Because of the bullying though, I have severe trust issues. Because I was so desperate to make friends, people would take advantage of my kindness. They would only be my friend when they needed something from me, then drop me like a bad habit. Because of that, I barely have any real friends. Really wish people would take this more seriously and learn more about it.
I got diagnosed with autism at 17 years old. I've went to many psychiatrists, to psych wards etc. They would usually just say that "I'm too young" to be diagnosed. Only when I went to a specialist in the range of autism, I got tested and diagnosed. It helped me instantly. People would say I'm mean, weird, or insensitive until now. Just because I wouldn't use gestures or catch eye contact society assumed I'm insensitive or egoistic. Now I get why I get along with people on the spectrum better. In psych wards or usual psychiatrists would usually just diagnose me with adaptive disorder or "mixed disorders of conduct and emotions" which didn't help me at all - You could even say the exact opposite: I would get SSRI antidepressants like three or four times and they absolutely lowered my energy and caused me suicidal thoughts. Not to mention what benzodiazepines did or neuroleptics. Now, people actually understand that just because I need to be alone for some time in a day or I get irratated or that I talk about tabu-like topics in often don't say I'm demoralized or edgy. Also, the associated conditions also match pretty well, epilepsy, gastrointestinal problems, huge social anxiety in the past etc. Before I got the papers and the diagnosis, I would just be missed as being mean to others, controversial, asocial, weird or ungrateful.
Each autistic person is fantastic 😊 as my son Robert ❤
I recognize most every thing in the video in myself until you get to the list at 4:29 which focuses on delays. My mom used to tell me I walked early and knew everything thing about trains (could name all the cars and engines at 2yo). Mom also said if we were going to or saw Mc Donalds I would repeat "Hamburginer, Frenchy Fries and Coke" at age two. She said I was a good baby (before 2) who never cried and was happy to be all by myself. It seems I was ahead of my age group. I wish they had started me a year early in school as I found my peers to be childish and slow so I purposely avoided them. Not only was I a target of every bully both kids and teachers but also every social group in every class. I also found school to be repetitive and boring. But I could never finish my work in class because of all the noises and smells. I would get in trouble for thinking out loud (talking in class) or rapidly wiggling my legs or shaking my feet both at home and in school. I knew the difference between a '6' and a '9' but if missed a math problem it was because I transposed one to the other while reading the problem and.... Anyway, the point is that early signs of autism should focus on both early and late developmental milestones, instead of just late milestones.
Yep. This is why so many weren't diagnosed as kids. They used to only focus on those with delays and/or deficits. It is a spectrum after all, but they seem to forget this point.
There's a giant misconception in this video. We don't talk about "severity" anymore, for a LOT of reasons. Being a spectrum means there's no "more" or "less" of it. It's a spectrum, not a gradient. In the visible spectrum, blue is not "more color" than red, blue is blue, red is red, with it's on characteristics.
When I combine what he was saying with the images, it seems that he was saying something more like: For every characteristic within the spectrum, there may be a different severity level in each case. And that would be correct.
I am very sensitive to loud sounds. As a kid, I was terrified of balloons and would be scared if there were balloons at parties I went to. I was also afraid of fire drills and would be nervous the whole school day if I knew a fire drill was about to happen. Now, as an adult, I’ve learned to tolerate some sounds, but sometimes, it gets unbearable, and I’ve snapped before because I was so overstimulated or scared by extremely loud sounds.
Honestly I relate to that
What I hate most about it is I have hard time keeping up friends or even maintaining relationships. I’m also oversensitive about other’s feelings.
I relate to your comment regarding oversensitive to people's feelings. I realized that I'm also empathetic to others feelings. Like a walking lie detector. Possible you might research. Just saying I've figured out quite a bit about myself outside the medical realm.
I have like social anxiety and I absolutely hate loud noises from people but Musik I blast that idk why my anxiety is killing me though I can’t even talk to people properly sometimes I just look at them after giving them something and when somebody talks to fast my brain just stops working lowkey I don’t think I will ever get a job with my problems my dog died this year like everything is so hard for me to say sometimes it’s crazy anyway a nice video cool to know about autistic people and the spectrum!
same situation here i feel so sad how im gonna live 😢😢
late diagnosed at 29.. things make more sense yet.
yet some people around me suspect i can just "build a bridge and get over it." then wonder why i "yelp" when my door gets knocked on suddenly when im extremely focused in a task.
alls i really want is a place of my own to be alone and work on my videos..

Good luck champ.
Thank you for this excellent and accurate overview of autism spectrum.
The concept of spectrums and layers and variations. These defining and redefining… overlayed into reality of better, while not diminishing people. The rights of individuals and groups matter so very much. The reality is…. Mental health and variations on social security have been abused over historical contexts. It’s also true, we need better in many streams and pools.
This video is the best explanation I've seen. It's important to caracterize ASD as a real "disease" with real causes, grounded on science. Unfortunately, the narrative that "everyone experience it differently" alone make it feel as if it is almost a "choice" to be autistic. It's not. There are biological factors. environmental factors. Evidence of neurological differences. Real world consequences like not being able to get a job.Every autism talk should have a basic scientific cover before going to ""how people experience it"
I had this idea for a cool zombie outbreak story where people who have autism are immune. I think it sounds cool. Not sure what other people would think though, everyone has their own opinion
Write that book ASAP! 👍
I’m a genius.

Glutathione is a redox buffer that regulates ATP production in the mitochondria. I have been using liposomal glutathione for about 20 months now. I "suck" 2 - 4ml in the morning and I find that my REM sleep is greatly improved. I awaken after 7 - 8 hours of nutritious sleep, usually after an imaginative dream. This makes me less autistic. My brain feels more creative and energetic. I'm trying to spread the word, I want people to study this simple treatment further
I hear you/see you. I've taken my own measures but I like this too
Everyone with autism does not have depression, it's usually people not at all taking into account that this person is simply different.
depression is common among autistic individuals due to not fitting in and having lots of stress daily
Thank you for the great overview of Autism spectrum!
Thank you so much.❤❤
Thank-you
People have told me all my life they think I'm autistic. But the reasons they give sound like they're just saying I'm more mature than they are. I don't laugh when somebody farts. I can say the word penis without smiling. If a woman tells me no, I don't try to convince them or force them. I pay attention and make sure I understand before I respond. I don't interrupt people. I genuinely try to treat people the way I would like if they treated me. I believe the entire concept of money is foolish. I believe in telling the truth, even if it means admitting mistakes and being embarrassed. I don't believe in things that cannot be perceived. I generally assume that people mean exactly what they say. The list goes on
maybe you too real for them?
@@daze77gaming thanks man. I noticed I don't get told that anymore, as an adult. Maybe it was weird for me to be so mature as a kid lol
I think in combination with other mental illnesses very very hard to live with.
Im not diagnosed and dont need a diagnosis. Ive always known it was either asd (or aspergers is what i said to my dad when i was 9) and Willing to debate with anyone about it, especially experts and professionals
Ah, yes. The next phase in human evolution. Imagine being left out or not having a 158 IQ. That's scary. I once reprogrammed an entire game from a notepad exe. It was Command and Conquer: Generals. INI format is easy but understanding what everything does without training is not. It was like one massive puzzle.

I love the woorkworking stuff, I'd love a career by that, I have some bought over the years tools , but I can't do much , I have few special interests since a was kid, and my routines don't change, if they change I will fight my way back in , that is scary and dangerous.. I feel so much that I can't feel anything, or I feel only negative emotions, someone help? The psicologists that took the test to see if I am Autistic or not, want money for therapy, by the way , I don't need a therapy , I need a freaking help by a job that can carry me out and it lets me build my woodworking carreer, can someone relate and answer me loll? I want hheeeelllpppp! !!!
Try to see if there are resources where you live…I have sons with learning disabilities and a program helped with getting a job and school. They are both in their early twenties.
I was diagnosed with autism/ADHD and I'm 26, currently unemployed and recovering while living with someone, my friend. I heavily relate to your story in some areas. Though you may feel a loss of hope, I remain positive that you will find people to be in your life who want to help you thrive. In my experience I ended up finding the most important people currently in my life from being online. It helps to engage with your passions and special interests as much as you possibly can and find people who share those interests. You will get to where you wish to be some day. You're not a failure, if ever you thought that, you're stressed and in pain and I have been there, I'm still there honestly. The biggest advice I was offered recently is to take each day as it comes, basically take it slow. If you can tolerate it, school may be an option for woodworking but failing that, I think that joining communities around woodworking - UA-cam channels, SubReddits, maybe even forums, online tutorials - can help you figure out where to go next. You deserve to make that choice. Anything you find relieves your stress, whether it be video games, books, TV, is important to keep doing. Personally, I play games and read books as much as I can to keep a clear head, especially when life doesn't give me a break. My partner and I have been playing a lot of Armored Core 6 recently and I highly recommend it if you like the mech genre. Keep in mind the things that make you happy and do them as much as possible.
its weird that my mirror neurns are exceptional when it comes to seing and doing actions and nothing else.

Hello, may I know at what age did you start to speak? This questions is for every autistic person that reads this. My son is 6+, he can read, say words and loves singing but when a question is directed at him even a simple yes or no is hard to get out of him. I can get it out of him if I sing it to him though.
At 18 months, my vocab was basically family tittles (mom, dad, grandma, etc), animals, some names (the name of my favourite cats) and some abstract concepts (trought it may be echoalia, I often words like alone and help) I believe I knew about 30 words at that time. I never had issues with talking, it was more with gestures like staring and smiling, I also know I've been overeacting about stimuli before 6 months old.
Maybe, you do a different body language when singing? Or maybe he interprets your non singing language as something to be scared of (sorry if this sounds rude, before I was four, I would fear any grown up who didn't made a baby voice - including my father - for me so I trought about that) also he may not get that you're asking smt, if he has this vocab, try to say it instead of doing a asking voice tone (I'm 14 and still not understand what is a question voice tone)
@@progamndocoisas4407 thank you. He understands what I am asking but only very rarely answers. I wonder if it is a choice or habit thing.

for me, I struggle to say yes or no because I am trying to process all of the potential outcomes of my answer.
If I say yes to going to the pool, then I have to get ready and have to acknowledge that I am going to get wet and will have to socialize and be in a setting with other people.
If I say no, I don’t want to go, then I may be missing out on spending time with my family and enjoying an activity that I like, but I may need time to recharge and process everything.

I assume that like me, most were severely isolated at some point. It just seems like your mh symptoms have more to do with the ways and stages of development in which you were isolated/abused/neglected, with some MINOR genetic susceptability involved.
Anyone who was raised like I was would have been socially awkward, allergic to grass (not exposed), and not reach milestones like crawling, talking, or growing teeth until 5 years old. But, since I gained appropriate amounts of weight, I didn't qualify for a failure to thrive diagnosis, and instead got pdd-nos.
And bpd, abandonment. Anxiety, apathetic parenting. Depression, chronic invalidation (aka gaslighting). All of these are INTRINSICLY linked.
All this causal gene stuff is sus when you look at the spread, exponential growth, rise of total working hours, distracting screens, heavy metal poisoning of two generations that shall not be named, and the "autism-like" behavior of kids right after quarentine.
