I have a hard time believing that most don't notice stares, looks, temperature changes, or wind. There's a decent chance i'm autistic myself, but even so, i never thought noticing that stuff was abnormal. It makes walking around alone without anything to redirect my attention an absolute nightmare though, so who knows.
the difference is your ability to filter those things out. my understanding is that people with autism don’t have sensitive hearing, so they hear the same amount as everyone else, but their brains don’t prioritize what sensory input is important like neurotypical people do, basically since all sensory input is given the same importance the autistic brain pays more attention to sense data that is ‘irrelevant’.
Noticing those things are not abnormal. Don't get sucked into this "everyone has a syndrome" rubbish. It seems like so many people today want to label themselves with an issue. Maybe they all want attention or sympathy.
I relate to this video a lot! I hear smell and see so much… like him. And often I come back home exhausted but still next time I do go outside. The good thing is that I love listening to the birds singing and there are a lot of birds in the park. Bad thing is that I have to wear earplugs to be able to play with my little daughter without getting dizzy after few minutes. I had no idea I perceive the world differently, I had no Idea I could be an aspie till very recently. I thought it’s “normal” to catch on everything, even a rustle of a plastic bag that is being carried on the other side of a busy street… names on the doorbells… car plates, all pieces of other information. Someone passing zebra, talking, bike coming from afar, tram taking turn with awful squeak on the rails. I’m always the first one to catch the sound and get interested by that, I’m the one who hears the buzzz of a bulb. Great video, I love it!
Aspie here. I deal with this too. Even at home where I can actually control things to a degree. I love to knit but I can't have the tv on when I do so or else I can't concentrate on what I'm working on and make mistakes that I have to undo and start again. If I have just gone through a shopping trip especially for groceries since that takes the longest, all that sensory stimulation overload will have an argument with my mom end with near yelling on my part, overly extreme frustration on my part, and sometimes leaves me near tears. Because I just can't deal with the argument rationally during or after such a sensory overload...
I hate hate hate going to the supermarket! It‘s so very loud there. I get bombarded with nonstop loud music and even louder advertisements. Mostly I get really upset and aggressive internally. Spending time at the grocery‘s cost me my energy for the whole day.
Point is ppl with this condition get stressed with normal experiences .... Because most people notice everything... And some just have there heads up in the clouds
The Internet is full of suprises. I know a lot of Aspie-Documentations, but this Documentation shows how I feel too, although it´s on the other side of the Planet. This Camera-Ego-Perspective makes it easy to imagine to be an Aspie . This shows more than 1000 words! It would be more suprising if the Diagnosis-Testing sessions by my Psychiatrist finals into an non-Aspie-Disgnosis.
Apologies for not knowing about these comments, I'm always happy to answer any questions in the near future :)

It sounds like ADHD possibly which is often with Asperger’s. No distraction is a nightmare then

As an Aspie myself. This is amazing. 💯 Thank you for creating this. Hits the nail on the head.
Most incredible human I've ever met ❤️

He'd be excellent as an investigator, analyst or maybe something for ASIO (no joke).

Relatable (autistic here)
