I just learned lately that Sir Anthony Hopkins has also been diagnosed with Asperger's. He was talking about it a little bit in an interview with The Desert Sun
I really enjoyed this video! As a female with Aspergers Syndrome who really wants to become an actress, it's comforting to know that there are successful actors and actresses who are also diagnosed! 😊🎭
Maybe a video on executive dysfonctioning? I find it reall hard to just wake up and go to school/work, do my chores, eat, etc. I just want to floss in the mirror and do researches about my special interests, so I feel like doing all these things, I lack of time for the things I really want to do... thanks for making informative videos!
My son (now 25) was diagnosed with AS when he was 5 years old. To make him more aware that he wasn't alone in his condition (and yes, to reassure the frazzled mom that is me, lol) I created a pictograph for him with famous people throughout history who may have had or who displayed AS. Darryl Hannah, Dan Ackroyd and Tim Burton were the tip of my iceberg. I went back as far as Mozart....Andy Warhol, Jim Henson, Jim Carrey, Alexander Graham Bell, Bill Gates, and a lot more than I can remember. I made a banner at the bottom of this pictograph saying 'Who you can become when you grow up'. I'm not implying everyone I researched had AS because obviously we can't ask most of them now. It's my belief that people with AS, as frustrating and (at times) embarrassing as it can be for those who love them, the world would be less if it wasn't for them.
Dan Harmon created not only rick and morty but also a tv series called Community, it was during creating the Aspergers character Abed that he came to the realization of his own aspergers, Community is a great series and if you haven't seen it you should, well worht a watch, great series. Im waiting for the film :)
When directing a film, Kubrick gives attention to every small detail. And he is an ultra perfectionist. And every time, he gets things literally. Those things also could be his traits with autism.
Hi all. This video is so interesting to me because I found out that I am an Aspie only a couple of months ago (I had no idea before, neither my family or friends, so it was a shock but at the same time I take it as a blessing and I also understand why some things keep happening to me). You mentioned driving. I do drive but in the beginning, I was always incredibly anxious before driving. But hey, I found out that I was anxious only BEFORE driving and when I overcame the anxiety and got into the car, the anxiety was gone immediately, I turned on my favourite music and really ENJOYED the driving. So for those of you scared of driving, try to overcome the fear and maybe you will enjoy the ride too. Another topic - I am actually a married mother of two young children aged 5 and 8. And I have no problems with parenting. So if some of you are considering having children, go for it. You can actually be a great parent, oriented to details - a very careful one. So my advice for life is: DO NOT FEAR.
I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's (about 2 years ago) and am the proud parent of a 7 year old girl and 1 year old boy. Asperger's can add a whole new layer of challenge, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for the informative videos and sharing your stories. Keep it up 🙂
My 23 year old son with Aspergers just got his driver's license! He could have gotten it years ago but was too scared, now he is so happy with himself. The next step is he has to get a job, he has a bad back which also can be associated with Aspergers. I am worried, his dad and I aren't going to live forever.
Cathi Scholl Hey :) I don't really know a lot of Aspergers but I've heard of many people turning their passions into a job.. Maybe he has some that could be just that?
Mark I have read about Aspergers till I can barely see anymore and back problems can but not always of course, be a side effect, even his doctor agreed.
As an aspiring who wants to get into singing and acting this is so inspiring to me. I really love singing and acting but have some trouble with the facial expressions but with this I know I can do it with the right teacher. :) The only downside is I get overloaded after being around a bunch of people after a while and I need to chill after a bit to recharge.
Thank you for another great video and congratulations on 40K subscribers :) and I think the actor Paddy Considine has Aspergers and lives in my town which is awesome!
An interesting list of Aspie actors and filmmakers. I knew that Daryl Hannah was one, but not Dan Aykroyd. There have also been speculation of Woody Allen and Jim Henson being diagnosed with Asperger's, but none were confirmed.
All very interesting! I never suspected Tim Burton but what you said makes sense (and I don't know of any of these other people accept maybe Robin Williams.) Could you perhaps do one about Authors of book series or novels (or any of the writing arts) was Asperger's Syndrome or Autism? (I myself have a self-published fiction novel, and I'm curious about other authors who may also have Asperger's Syndrome.)
love your videos dude well done I would love to know where there's an Asperger club in Philadelphia or start our own thing to support one another that would be great have fun
In the US Rick and Morty is on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, thats actually where I watched it. I don't know if it's the same in the UK but just letting you know.
The Aspie World Still on this kick... I really think Daniel Day Lewis and Christian Bale show very strong autistic traits (avoid eye contact, don’t really attend social events, hate being interviewed, eccentric, angry outbursts, method actors who get extremely in character, and can imitate people very well.
Vincent D'onofrio (Wilson Fisk in Netflix's Daredevil) is another actor that is believed to be on the spectrum - he has said he believes he would have been diagnosed as a child if it was a more widely known thing due to the struggles he had and how differently he felt his mind works than friends and others he knows.
I know this a voice actor but Billy West from Ren & Stimpy and Futurama was diagnosed with Autism. He had a fixation on the Three Stooges and Larry Fine from the shorts was the inspiration for the Stimpy voice.
I would have love to have meet Stanley Kubrick he was a genius. Chocolate Orange was ban in 70's but in one of the best films of all time. Based around Anthony Bergress book but having furthest music. He turned the book into his own future vision. A visionary is what a lot film critic call Kubrick. That electronical music was then made hugely popular by Kaftwerk.
I'll never drive. Have no spacial visual perception on the road. Parents with autism probably struggle more if they have neurotypical kids. Mine are all autistic which causes a sense of understanding between us all. My husband isn't autistic and struggles a bit as he feels I don't show him enough attention / affection .. I need alot of alone time. But I love him whole heartedly
How could you not mention Jules Robertson? He's an autistic actor who plays an autistic character in Holby City he's also speaking at the Autism Show in Manchester in July so I'm gonna go to that and get to hear both of you speak :)
Hi, can you do a video talking about obssesions( topics, things , certain people) and Aspergers and other video talking about social anxiety and Aspergers
Do you think you can do a video about parents that have ASD and how they balance things while raising kids? Bonus if they work for a living as well. Also, I was diagnosed with bipolar two and then your channel and Was doing a checkbox for the symptoms that I have for ASD was I misdiagnosed or can I have both?
Dan Akroyd is my all-time FAVORITE actor. I ALWAYS loved his movies, I liked him cause I heard he's A SUPER guy. To me he became AWESOME when I found out he had Asperger's, too. It's really cool to find out you have something in common with your favorite actor. Did you know that "Ghostbusters," was originally wrote to star with Dan Akroyd and Jim Belushi? The reason Bill Murray was cast was because Jim Belushi had died of an overdose on a speedball of a combo of heroin and cocaine. It was a tragic waste of a REAL funny guy, I LOVED him as Jake Blues, in the "Blues Brothers," and as Blutoski in "Animal House."
Dan Harmon is awesome. Rick and Morty and Community are two of my favorite shows. I saw a video where Dan Harmon said that he discovered that he probably has Asperger's while he was researching it for Abed from Community. Abed is my favorite TV show character.
My first obsessive special interest was Tim Burton films... I wonder if I just was attracted to his world. Mozart is another one who was diagnosed post mortum I have read. I was also very obsessed with his music as a child.
I suspect that my favorite artist/filmmaker, David Lynch, is on the spectrum but is undiagnosed. It really helps seeing people oneself succeeding the areas that you wish to be competent in. So, Dan Harmon is great to see.
I had no support for me going through the diagnosis with my daughter BUT I had a degree in psychology at the time and I diagnosed her at 15 BUT it was also extremely traumatic as I was struggling with my own mental health problems too where I had no help from any fam or anyone BUT I managed...Had to,had no choice esp when she tried to commit suicide at school Yeah horrendous BUT,, there. Is help out there more now so that's great,❤️
Hello I'm new to your channel , Your videos are awesome , I have a question and a problem I'm a youtuber like yourself and I'm austic ,adhd , ptsd and I'm afraid to talk into my camera or have to record me , maybe some advice to help me be not afraid:) Have a great day 😊
Now I know why Tim burton always casts his wife and Johnny depp in everything he does. I thought they might have had some sort of kinky personal arrangement.
You should look at her channel Anna Melissa she is also a UA-cam with aspie her channel is a lot low profile to yours but she's the first person I found and is good
how do you tell someone that you have it and it's not the end of the world and also to have them listen to you about giving them tips on how to raise their kids since their kid has it
I don't think there's enough information about parents who have aspergers. I have suspected for a few years I may have aspergers, I am terrified as to what anyone may think about my ability to parent. there are some things I find difficult... but I don't think my ability to parent is compromised too much. if I get tested, what happens after that? I have so many questions.
also, I should specify, I've only just recently been less terrified of a diagnoses because there is more and more discussion and understanding and less and less stigma about autism and aspergers.
Sarah Brace I was diagnosed this year. I'm still adjusting to my new reality. So far, I don't seem to be getting a lot of judgement as far as being a parent is concerned.
Alfred Hitchcock is generally assumed to have had Asperger's. Although not usually thought about in today's general audience world, those who like old movies, and film historians, critics and educators are very familiar with him.
Stanley Kubrick version of the shining was SHIT! BUT stephhen kings version..yes proper Verison in relation to HIS book is superb.Would watch it all day long.Stephen king HATED Kubrick's version.
Maybe a video on executive dysfonctioning? I find it reall hard to just wake up and go to school/work, do my chores, eat, etc. I just want to floss in the mirror and do researches about my special interests, so I feel like doing all these things, I lack of time for the things I really want to do... thanks for making informative videos!

I would love to see a video on Aspergers and employment. That's the biggest struggle for me right now.
Same here, pal.
Yes. I would love that before I get a job.
Get interview skills @@nerdicwarrior
@@nerdicwarrior Find out about how to negotiate yourself into a role.
I just learned lately that Sir Anthony Hopkins has also been diagnosed with Asperger's. He was talking about it a little bit in an interview with The Desert Sun
I'm surprise you didn't include Anthony Hopkins, he is one of the greatest.
I have ASD, and I'm a parent of twins. Talk about a crazy household.
I really enjoyed this video! As a female with Aspergers Syndrome who really wants to become an actress, it's comforting to know that there are successful actors and actresses who are also diagnosed! 😊🎭
musical_book_obssessed 2017 same!! It lets me know that my dream can still come true if I work hard!!
musical_book_obssessed 2017 I’m in the same boat a female aspie who longs to become an actress and has wanted to be since age 5, I’m 37 now
musical_book_obssessed 2017 and some undiagnosed ones too

loulou4811 that is a good idea. sometimes we look lazy but we're not just difficult to work out what we need to do.
My son (now 25) was diagnosed with AS when he was 5 years old. To make him more aware that he wasn't alone in his condition (and yes, to reassure the frazzled mom that is me, lol) I created a pictograph for him with famous people throughout history who may have had or who displayed AS. Darryl Hannah, Dan Ackroyd and Tim Burton were the tip of my iceberg. I went back as far as Mozart....Andy Warhol, Jim Henson, Jim Carrey, Alexander Graham Bell, Bill Gates, and a lot more than I can remember. I made a banner at the bottom of this pictograph saying 'Who you can become when you grow up'. I'm not implying everyone I researched had AS because obviously we can't ask most of them now. It's my belief that people with AS, as frustrating and (at times) embarrassing as it can be for those who love them, the world would be less if it wasn't for them.
Dan Harmon created not only rick and morty but also a tv series called Community, it was during creating the Aspergers character Abed that he came to the realization of his own aspergers, Community is a great series and if you haven't seen it you should, well worht a watch, great series. Im waiting for the film :)
I love Tim Burton movies. I think he is a really good director.
He is!!!
When directing a film, Kubrick gives attention to every small detail. And he is an ultra perfectionist. And every time, he gets things literally. Those things also could be his traits with autism.
Dude i love that you don't eddit out your reading issues, it makes me feel better about mine.
YeH!!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING VIDEOS ABOUT AUTISM

Cathi Scholl Hey :) I don't really know a lot of Aspergers but I've heard of many people turning their passions into a job.. Maybe he has some that could be just that?
That is what I am praying for, thank you!
Mark I have read about Aspergers till I can barely see anymore and back problems can but not always of course, be a side effect, even his doctor agreed.
Cathi Scholl I'm not remotely convinced back issues and ASD are connected at all. A million and one other things yup, but ASD? Nah.
As an aspiring who wants to get into singing and acting this is so inspiring to me. I really love singing and acting but have some trouble with the facial expressions but with this I know I can do it with the right teacher. :)
The only downside is I get overloaded after being around a bunch of people after a while and I need to chill after a bit to recharge.
Papyrus Senpai me too Aspies do have trouble expressing emotions visually on the face
My 19 year old son has Aspergers and that’s what got me into your videos. I love your videos.
Your my most favourite UA-camr! X I have Aspergers, adhd, dyslexia and dyspraxia.
Hey that is awesome!!! Thank you for the support and the kind words and thank you for the comment!
When I was diagnosed a year ago, your videos helped me explore the syndrome. Thank you so much.
Thank you for another great video and congratulations on 40K subscribers :) and I think the actor Paddy Considine has Aspergers and lives in my town which is awesome!
Thank you!!!
Tim Burton and Anthony Hopkins are great artists ♥
They are!!!
I love your channel. It helped me a lot. Now, I'm reading a book written by Tony Attwood. It feels so good finally understand me.
I drive and have done for years I do tend to zone out sometimes and can end up at work or somewhere completely different to where I was supposed to be
Love your programme ❤ Thank you 😀
An interesting list of Aspie actors and filmmakers. I knew that Daryl Hannah was one, but not Dan Aykroyd.
There have also been speculation of Woody Allen and Jim Henson being diagnosed with Asperger's, but none were confirmed.
“Nice blond lady” did anyone else find that funny?
+Otaku 58 Haha
Great video !! Loved the topic !! Thank you Dan 👍
What are your thoughts on Autism Speak? The most I've heard about the organization aren't that positive and seems to do more harm than good.
All very interesting! I never suspected Tim Burton but what you said makes sense (and I don't know of any of these other people accept maybe Robin Williams.)
Could you perhaps do one about Authors of book series or novels (or any of the writing arts) was Asperger's Syndrome or Autism? (I myself have a self-published fiction novel, and I'm curious about other authors who may also have Asperger's Syndrome.)
love your videos dude well done I would love to know where there's an Asperger club in Philadelphia or start our own thing to support one another that would be great have fun
Great video! Hopefully I'll be on this list one day lol (I'm a professional actress) Love your content and how you're raising awareness :)
My favourite Actor/Director with Aspergers is Paddy Considine, shame he didn't made the list (and Alfred Hitchcock in the suspected Aspie list)
In the US Rick and Morty is on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, thats actually where I watched it. I don't know if it's the same in the UK but just letting you know.
Oh cool!!! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
I can relate with Tim Burton so much.
Robin Williams was definitely an Aspie.
He was so manic and loved him as Mork (Nan Noo, Nan Noo) Lol 🤣🤣
Hammy Cats69 believe this too
I love your videos. Thank you for all the info 😊
Anthony Hopkins has Asberger’s as well!
He does!?
The Aspie World Still on this kick...

+Ghani Messali Oh awesome! I didn't know that!
Jules Robertson from Holby city on bbc1 is my favourite actor 🙂 He has Asperger's in real life and on screen
Yeah!!! That’s so awesome.
I can feel the bronchitis kicking in. Is it a thing that we can tell we are getting sick almost right away.
✌🏼
Hi, can you do a video talking about obssesions( topics, things , certain people) and Aspergers and other video talking about social anxiety and Aspergers
Do you think you can do a video about parents that have ASD and how they balance things while raising kids? Bonus if they work for a living as well.

Afett111 I reckon you’ve been misdiagnosed your probably an extroverted aspie they do exist
What about the actor Paddy Considine? His self-directed 2011 film Tyrannosaur is partly based on his condition.
I didn't know that Tim Burton was autistic!!! I'm a huge Burton fan and that's super cool that I have that to relate with him. That's awsome!!
Dan Akroyd is my all-time FAVORITE actor. I ALWAYS loved his movies, I liked him cause I heard he's A SUPER guy. To me he became AWESOME when I found out he had Asperger's, too.

Hey could you do a video about the struggle of autistics who pass as nuerotypical ?
thanks for this good Video !:D
+mimi lala Hey no problem! Thank you for the comment
👍😃
Don't forget about Adam Young from Owl City :P
Yes I love him!!!
Dan Harmon is awesome. Rick and Morty and Community are two of my favorite shows. I saw a video where Dan Harmon said that he discovered that he probably has Asperger's while he was researching it for Abed from Community. Abed is my favorite TV show character.

Isn't the great Stephen Fry also an Aspie?
Ooo maybe!!
& now, Anthony Hopkins....
(Btw I also have asperger)
+dr strangelove Oh yeah I forgot about him!
I had no support for me going through the diagnosis with my daughter BUT I had a degree in psychology at the time and I diagnosed her at 15 BUT it was also extremely traumatic as I was struggling with my own mental health problems too where I had no help from any fam or anyone BUT I managed...Had to,had no choice esp when she tried to commit suicide at school Yeah horrendous BUT,, there. Is help out there more now so that's great,❤️
just have your favorite human be with you when you drive thats what helped me

I'm pretty sure Tim Burton never married Helena..HELENA.yes,,not Helen.
Dan Harmon also made Community, one of the greatest sitcoms ever made, how could you leave that out ;_;
Yes he did!!!
Now I know why Tim burton always casts his wife and Johnny depp in everything he does. I thought they might have had some sort of kinky personal arrangement.
and there are others that haven’t been diagnosed but are on the spectrum
I'm trying to get some speaking parts in movies and I myself also have Asperger's syndrome
You should look at her channel Anna Melissa she is also a UA-cam with aspie her channel is a lot low profile to yours but she's the first person I found and is good
how do you tell someone that you have it and it's not the end of the world and also to have them listen to you about giving them tips on how to raise their kids since their kid has it
Diplomacy techniques I guess.

Sarah Brace it will just give you insight into what makes you respond the way you do, there are many Aspies who are parents
What about Aspergers and Dentists? Is it hard to find a dentist that understands Aspergers ?
I really love your videos but I can never watch them to the end...:( :)
Oh no!
I always thought you said "head"!
3:00 is when the thing actually starts
I am a parent with both A/AD let me know
I am 32 I have been referred to a clinic for ASD testing what kinds of things will go on during testing?
Stanley Kubrick did A Clockwork Orange.
Alfred Hitchcock is generally assumed to have had Asperger's. Although not usually thought about in today's general audience world, those who like old movies, and film historians, critics and educators are very familiar with him.
How about a video with your GF and YOU together...!!!😊👍
Those videos are coming!!!
@@TheAspieWorld AWESOME!😊
What’s going on with my hair WHAT I TOUGHT IT WAS WHATS GOING ON IN MY HEAD
Haha
I LIKE BATMAN 1989 MOVIE
😃
They are not actors they are directors
Some are both
Being actor is knowing social behavior
3 min intro 7 min vid😑
lol why is Robin Williams on here? We already know he was bipolar, diagnosed and everything.
Random word of the day: moo
Stanley Kubrick version of the shining was SHIT! BUT stephhen kings version..yes proper Verison in relation to HIS book is superb.Would watch it all day long.Stephen king HATED Kubrick's version.
First!!
Yaaay!!! This is the first time I've ever made the first comment on a video!!
+BlackMcdLover Gaming Hey congratulations!! Whoop!
Maybe a video on executive dysfonctioning? I find it reall hard to just wake up and go to school/work, do my chores, eat, etc. I just want to floss in the mirror and do researches about my special interests, so I feel like doing all these things, I lack of time for the things I really want to do...
thanks for making informative videos!
