Your openness and clarity about your experience from start to end is bloody inspiring! The fact that you were able to explain things to Lee beforehand, including the emotions you might be dealing with says a lot about the confidence you have and your connection to him. There are people with ASD who really struggle to build confidence around other people, and struggle to build connections where they can share emotions like you are doing here with us. Your strength of character and drive to keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is so admirable... Thankyou for sharing your experience. ❤️🔥
Wow oh my goodness thank you for your kind words Trust me the confidence is something I’ve had to work hard on and still fail an awful lot with The same with connection I’ve known Lee for many years Obviously certain people I connect with a lot easier than others I think that is down to there character more than mine I appreciate your comment
"The rhythm of an ironing board" - I like this one. I was at my cousin's wedding recently and - quite surprisingly - had a lots of fun. Even danced a bit (keep in mind the quote above). Of course some anxiety tried to hit me before and during the party, but it didn't succed much.
Holy cow. You're the first person whos described my 2 "meltdown" symtpoms. 1. Unable to take part in conversation as i am hyper-anxious. 2. Unable to hear/focus on what someone is saying due to the worry of not understanding them (ironically). My biggest one was being unable to hold eye contact during these stressful events, it can be horrible. At least i am not alone.
Autism or just a normal introvert/antisocial character ? I think some people like a label that sounds impressive and in fact is a mental crutch to get through life. Sounds to me like you had a pretty good time beyond some feelings of shyness. I'm still trying to workout what the "meltdown" actually was ? I thought you meant you had hit someone or got in a blazing row but in fact the meltdown was just that you went very quiet ?
@@lamborghinimercy5737 I don't know what he meant really. I was trying to find some huge temper tantrum he had exploded with but he was so long winded with the story I started skipping through so I may have missed something. But all I heard was he went "very quiet". If that's his idea of a meltdown he can even have one in the library and no-one would mind. I think some people like being thought of as special and having an excuse for not doing stuff they don't want to have to do. And society today actively encourages people to be "victims". Some love wearing the disability label as a badge of honour constantly chewing your ear to feel appreciated and seek sympathy. My brother ended up in a wheelchair through no fault of his own but after that he was constantly focused on wheelchair access issues into shops and restaurants and public venues and would go out of his way to embarrass business owners who were just trying to make a living if he didn't feel respected for his disability and the latest access and ramps weren't available. Didn't matter whether he wanted access or not - the point was he wanted to feel important and knew they couldn't argue back with someone in a wheelchair. We all have some sort of difficult life problems - some more than others obviously - but do your best to get over it I say and be as much a fully functioning member of society as possible rather than wallow in constant disability talk. Drink some concrete and harden the f*ck up.
Ok so an autistic meltdown is NOT a tantrum And autism is NOT introvert or antisocial Autism is a neurological disorder where the brains wiring is different to a neurotypical person Obviously it’s easy to make a judgement based on your own experience And difficult to understand an invisible disability like autism Part of making my videos it to raise awareness and understanding along with give support to those who are neurodivergent I would ask people to not judge without having the correct information It’s not helpful

The same with connection
I’ve known Lee for many years
Obviously certain people I connect with a lot easier than others
I think that is down to there character more than mine
I appreciate your comment
Thank you for sharing it really helps other people and you are appreciated
Thank you I appreciate that this is what I was hoping for when creating my neurodivergent playlist
Keep pushing brother!
I certainly will I am learning to work with it as opposed against it
And help other people to do the same

I’m glad you enjoyed the wedding
It can be challenging but if you can find away of enjoying yourself regardless that’s the important thing

I’m glad you’ve got something from me sharing my experiences that is my goal
Yeah no, I call it the Christmas don't.

So it’s like the opposite of when someone’s gets pissed off?

Thats rude and the typical response from a neurotypical person
