I use a cane, and customizing it really helps. I’m just a person who prefers things to match my style, and having a mobility aid that feels personal is like the same as having glasses that you think are cute. Do they NEED to be? No. Does it make me feel a little better? Yeah, it does.
Same, I've got a couple different canes and I've painted/modified a few of them, and I put stickers on my wheelchair + pins on my back bag. Idk. Feels good to reclaim my mobility aids.
@@RabbitTeaPot I think that's why I watch people who don't have the disability less and less lately when they speak on stuff they don't have. It's a lot more nuanced than a lot of outside observers might understand so a lot of this criticism (especially from outside the community) feels just... irrelevant in its arguments. Just because my cane is pretty doesn't mean I don't literally need it to get from my bed to the bathroom without falling and hurting myself.
@@GrimmDelightsDice I gonna be honest, I don't think Ablaze meant to cause the offence it has & hopefully will apologise in the next video. I guess my take is "you live, you learn... & sometimes that lesson is through saying something you didn't know you shouldn't." but perhaps I'm a bit of an optimist. He just does not seem like a malicious guy.
Just putting this out there, but I absolutely despised Trump. At the time he was raging against TikTok, I thought he was being a whiney baby yet again. Looking back, I think he was right about it. Just imagine how different/better the world would be without TikTok trends and the spyware that comes along with the app?
@@sluttymctits4496 That's what I wish people would focus more on. Less about TDS, or whoever it may be, and more about WHAT they're talking *about.* Like you said, the spyware. Oh. My. God. Not safe, just so not safe. China has such a hypocritical and abusive history, we really need to start limiting their presence in our lives because it only gets worse from here, politics aside, I'm talking general public safety. The very reason we buy VPNs.
Actually sometimes people do dye service dogs but because colorful dogs are less likely to be stolen because trained service dogs have a higher chance of being stolen
I work in what is essentially an adventure park, when disabled people want to access our rides and activities they often need someone to come help to make everything run smooth for them, we are extremely accomodating because we all believe that everyone should enjoy their time at the park. So we will go above and beyond for them but we’re so strict about who can access the accessibility entrances and things. Regular customers cannot because they clog up the area for people who have wheelchairs and this is the only entrance people with mobility issues can use. We let family and carers through too but regular customers need to use the normal entrance. Customers often see the entrance as a short cut and try to get in anyway. It’s so, so obvious when someone is faking just to get in. Even people with invisible disabilities, they never make a scene, they’re always quiet, thankful and really don’t want to draw any attention to themselves. Fakers are always loud, demanding and try to make a scene. It’s so obvious. People with real disabilities almost always come to see me and quietly ask for help, right from the get go. Fakers decide at the last minute they need the accomodation. I have an invisible disability myself so I try my best to never assume but some fakers make it so obvious.
I agree with most of your statements but not the cane one. If you already have a visible disability, why not making it as fun and cool looking as possible? I have diabetes and i have to wear my pump visibly the whole day. So i started sewing some fun waistpockets (can't remember the right english word for those) That definitely is important to me..
as an occasional wheelchair user i agree with this sentiment. especially for young children adding cute accessories can help make the disability less scary and more fun.
The issue I had with that clip was they were moving with twists and turns 100% perfectly fine without the can touching the floor. If they actually needed the cane, shouldn't they be moving carefully as to avoid agitating whatever injury/disease they have that requires said cane?
@@ashleypetrini4627 actually not true same how some wheelchair users don’t need them all the time it’s an aid it helps yes but they can stand and move without it .-.
@@bunnygamer8563 I understand that, but with how they move makes it suspicious. Why would they do that when it could easily aggravate their injury/disease. I would think they would be careful about how they move, to prevent the issue from acting up.
That “decorating my cane” reminded me of an ink masters episode where their task was to paint designs to put on children’s wheelchairs to make them less embarrassed to be disabled and have fun with their equipment so I don’t think things like that are unusual or at least they shouldn’t be, the only thing bugging me out a bit was the bird mask it just looks a little eery? Other than that the video is super cute
Oh as a teenager I used to dress differently from day to day, I guess I had DID the whole time. :( Their "styles" that "prove" they're different people are all just variations of the same Hot Topic goth-punk style.
Lol right? Fuck..Im 33 and my style still changes daily. I love goth styling but I also enjoy wearing a plain pair of leggings and a tshirt. Plus there are times I need to dress in more professional clothing due to functions at my college or needing to be at court. People can have multiple personal interests and styles without it being a "diagnosed" mental illness. 🤦🏽♀️ Society is really going to shit lol.
@Ebony Marie Black Right?? I'm 35 years old and my style is SO varied depending on my energy levels, hormones, weather, time of day, what I'm dressing for, etc...
I couldn’t see the video about decorating the cane so I’m just going off what you said, but wanting to decorate/personalise your assistive tech and mobility aids isn’t unusual or a new thing. It’s something that’s with us everyday so giving it a touch to personalise it it nice.
I get wanting to customise your mobility aids etc. bc I get decals for my dexcom and my insulin pump bc it makes me feel less self conscious about having them attached to my body 24/7. Like it massively helps me from a mental health pov when it comes to body image. Idk
It all depends on your device and your lifestyle, though. I’ve been a wheelchair user my whole life and there’s no way I’d ever add stickers, paint, or funky fabrics to it because for me it’s all about utility. I load/unload my wheelchair in/out of my vehicle a minimum of four times a day, I’m at the barn caring for my daughter’s horse all the time, I’m making a mess cooking in my kitchen, or I’m outside digging in my garden. My chair is my lifeline and I’m 100% dependent on it, but it would look like crap within a day if I tried to make it look fancy. Not a knock on anyone who wants to express their personal style; I’m just saying that it’s not practical for everyone to do so.
@@pinkmonkeybird2644 no of course its not practical for everyone to do. I decorate my pump to and my dexcom sometimes to match outfits if I'm going out just makes them look nicer bc I have no choice but to wear them bc they literally keep me alive but also I'm self conscious about them a fair bit
I think this is a really good point wanting to decorate something that you have with you all of the time to survive shouldn't indicate that your faking a disorder. If someone wants to make a tool prettier and more fun to look at that seems perfectly reasonable to me and I think it just depends on the person.
Same I like getting fun designed patches for covering my guardian sensor for my insulin pump. Especially holiday and seasoned themed ones, its like decorating myself lol
I decorate my cane so I don’t misplace it. Work at a thrift store and have had co-workers and customers try to sell/buy it,so with the decorations they know it’s mine!😁🤣
I mean, whats wrong with wanting to decorate your wheelchair or cane? I'm assuming if someone has to deal with it their whole lives, there's nothing wrong in wanting to make it look a bit cooler or more likeable to you. There was this guy who made his wheelchair cyberpunk-themed, and it was super cool, and it made him feel a bit happier than just having to look at a regular whelchair everyday. I mean, if u gotta deal with something, i wouldnt say its wrong to want to make it a bit nicer to look at, for yourself
my friend has a cane etc. and ngl we had a good time bonding as we decorated it. they were going through Some Shit and it was my way of trying to show i cared. if i had to compare it to anything, it'd be doodling on shoes or putting pins on a lanyard.
I have a seizure disorder and I always 100% believe these tiktokers who have a camera up before they fall are faking I’ve been trying for years with my mother and sister to get my seizures on camera and take to a neurologist. On top of that, there’s no way you can just record when you are having a brain fog before you go into them. Also my “friend” tried faking them because of me and I’d intentionally bait her into lies to prove she was lying. I’d go “Oh my god how long were you having a seizure? Mine usually last an hour” (the lie being that normal seizures last less than a few minutes for many people including me) She’d go “I have having one for three hours!” Because I guess she thought a few minutes wasn’t that long or serious- she literally used to undermine me all the time. Also she thinks you’re conscious during a seizure because I asked her “were you in pain during it? :(“ she goes “YEAH! i was crying and everything!” Girl.. GIRL Edit: I’m so glad people are sharing their experiences as well in my thread, just feel like I finally found people who understand it Jesus Christ
I understand this a tiny bit, because I have pre-fainting spells and you seriously can not get these on camera because it's basically impossible. it's sad seeing so many people fake things that aren't common, because it feels like at least half of the TikTok platform is faking Tourette's and DID
@@Moralityz it’s also such a mockery because it’s so easy to tell they “know” the symptoms but don’t know how to execute them in their sick little attention seeking performances. It’s like trying to tell an artist how to draw an animal they’ve never been educated on or seen based on a description. It’s so frustrating. And in a bittersweet way I’m glad I’m not the only one just tired of this shit. The way DID presents and how many other disorders present are starkly different than what these kids believe. It makes me more ashamed to come out with my actual problems out of fear that they’ll adapt because of me or people will look at me like I am a fraud. (Rightfully so with all these kids making it harder) It’s a shame when someone has to question the validity of your condition because of tiktokers
I have epilepsy, and seizures are no joke. Once I had a seizure in my sleep; it felt like something was pressing on my chest, and i was clenching my muscles.
I don't have a mental disorder but I do have a physical one. I have some type of anemia (I have a blood disorder) right and my mom is a teacher so ik a lot of people who come to the teachers to say they have anemia or something to skip athletics. Like damn if ur gonna fake it at least be consistent because later on u will see them playing their favorite sport (right after they lied)💀. But yeah a lot of people in my school usually anemia or Ed .
Fr. I sometimes have seizures too and I don't notice shit before they start. I might feel a little dizzy like 5 seconds before and then just BAM black. I also gave myself a black eye and a concussion one time I had one. How is this uwu and quirky and admirable...? It can literally be dangerous.
Bad take on the mobility aid customising. Real bad take.. I know many severly disabled young people and children who customise their aids and devices to suit them more or make them feel more "made for them" As someone myself whos only been walking for 8 years, (im 25, learnt to walk at 17) i have spray painted and customised my rollator and wheelchair to suit me as a young person. The amount of people who STRAIGHT UP ACCUSED me of "Stealing my rollator from my grandma" is ridiculous. Young people should be able to have mobility aids that are made for them and suit them. Not something made for the elderly or something plain black.
Fully agree, I have had people before assume my boyfriend was my CARETAKER and like not address me or look at me while speaking, instead asking him what I was ordering for example. One girl even tried to flirt with him once and asked, "What time are you off work?" while we were ordering food from a food court... I was like "What?" because we both were confused then she look quite embarrassed and I understood she thought it wasn't possible I could be dating an abled man as a wheelchair user. When I started saying "eff it" and dying my hair, slapping stickers on my crutches and my wheelchair, I started to notice I got a lot less of that kind of treatment oddly enough
The absolute best thing dude is I'm 40 & disabled, just replaced my crutches with a new pair and because of my aging punk/rocker aesthetic I covered them both in black electrical tape with white stars going up the back & tied a bandanna to each handle A for grip on sweaty hand days B it looks like Stephen Tyler's mic lmfao so from a spastic can confirm accessirising matters 😂🤙♠️
I love watching your videos 😂 buuut I’m disabled and I’ve had to use a cane for about 21 years now and I have to see a pain specialist every 3 weeks to reprogram a pump in my leg. So basically I see a lot of patients using canes 🙂 Decorating your cane is a lot more popular than you might think. I have a number of canes with different carved hand grips. If you’re stuck using a cane every day of your life you may as well like what it looks like. So I personally don’t know the girl but there’s a good chance that she wasn’t lying about wanting to decorate her cane. 🙃
I'm still crying 😭 Hope you and the beautiful retro phantom are doing well! You guys are adorable together. She's awesome beautiful and seems extremely smart... You done lucked out with that one!
@@yahyahyor How do you know that? You see them in UA-cam videos and have zero idea what they’re like in real life, or what happens behind closed doors………People thought Jimmy Savile was a really nice man, based on his public persona……But in real life, behind closed doors, he was molesting kids.
I agree with pretty much everything except the decorating your cane one. Decorating your medical equipment isn't weird or uncommon at all. I've seen tons of disabled people with customized medical stuff. I've seen: - Decorative wheelchair wheel covers - Decorative ostomy bag covers - Decorative insulin pump covers - Decorative glucose monitor covers - Decorated canes And so much more! Think of it like picking a cute pair of glasses. Nobody thinks its weird to customize your glasses. Glasses are medical equipment. He makes it sounds like disabled people are just 100% serious and depressed about their conditions. What's so wrong about wanting to have fun and match your medical equipment to your style? I usually agree with everything he says but that one rubbed me the wrong way.
I have ASD, two of my boys have ASD, and a 3rd is in the process of being diagnosed. I have met several people who are also diagnosed but I have never seen, heard of, nor experienced "forgetting to drink anything". One thing I remember from growing up and I have noticed and been told is something that I never would have associated with ASD is not responding to one's name a significant number of times in a reasonable period of times. We all have perfect and have always had perfect hearing. I don't know how to explain it. It is like having a blind spot in your hearing. Or something that I was too embarrassed the vast majority of my life to ask about is I can be having a normal conversation with someone and suddenly I can't understand them at all. I hear them and I know that they are speaking English but I can't process any of it, it is just sounds. You become so embarrassed and after you see them feel frustrated because you ask them to repeat themselves a few times you just want to go and hide.
I'm not diagnosed with ASD but I am diagnosed with ADHD and I've always wondered if I also have ASD. All of what you mentioned applies to me completely
I know someone who has ASD who "forgets" (a lot more to it than just forgetting) to take care of themselves which includes eating and drinking, and they are under 24/hr care because of it. Just because you never heard of it or experiences it (neither do I) doesn't mean others haven't. People need to remember liars get their most convincing stories/emotions/experiences from real people who have experienced them. I have had the same thing with my name being called, my family had to either use my nickname or a certain sound to get my attention.
I actually forget to drink, eat, and go to bathroom until I get to severe levels. Those pains and urges don't hit me until im basically falling over. It's rough on my health but ASD is really to only thing i can blame it on since it seems many other experience those symptoms too.
Nothing wrong with decorating your mobility aids. This is a hill I’ll die on lol. This time of year you see quite a lot of people with battery powered fairy lights on their chairs and rollators and stuff, which I think is awesome. I’m also a big fan of wraps and spoke covers for wheelchairs, you can get some really cool effects. When I first got crutches I had those hideous grey NHS ones, and they were so depressing. It already sucked to have to find my crutches to leave the house, as it just further reminded me of the situation I was in, and having them be the depressing gray of an overcast day didn’t help. I was at the point of trying to glue fake flowers in the holes when I lucked out and a friend told me a relative of theirs was moving into a wheelchair and looking to sell on her range of coloured crutches. Now the ones I have are turquoise and while it still sucks to need them, they’re not inherently depressing and ugly. They also have way, way better handles, which matters a lot when you’re putting a lot of weight on your hands for hours at a time. Using those NHS ones gives me hand and wrist pain after about 10 minutes, I feel terrible for anyone who has no choice but to rely on them.
As someone who's a young person that uses walking aids, decorating them is often a big thing for us because it makes us feel more confident in using them. I don't want to be giving old lady chic lmao. Not sure what's supposed to be wrong with that video, being disabled doesn't mean we don't care about style.
Signs of something: -When you are thinking but cannot find idea you sometimes just say "eeeeee" or "yyyyy" -While having headphones with cable, you take them out of pocket tangled. -When you take one thing out of the pocket second thing is falling out. -If you see someone yawning, you also feel urge to yawn. - Sometimes in bright light or while eating peppermint gum or in places with strong smell, you are sneezing. -Amount of words you have readen today is greater than 69. -You are older than 5 years old. -Even if I was more accurate than all fortune tellers you ever heard, you still doesn't want to give me money for my prophecy. -Someone you know will get sick. -You will die but not so fast as you thought.
i think a huge issue is that people don’t understand that u can have different looks and feel like different genders or as a different person sometimes and that doesnt mean u have DID
Idk man, my mom used to decorate her crutches that she would get after any surgery that required them for the healing process. Wanting to decorate things you need for disabilities doesn't mean you are making light of the situation, it's also expressing yourself and making it an extention of you.
Usually with you on this but the idea of medical assistant items, (chairs,canes,grip items for opening things etc) being made to look more attractive or trendy isn’t new. Ask anyone who was a teenager growing up in a manual chair & they’ll probably say they either had or wanted, or where overjoyed by the new customisable, modern chairs. Don’t be a dick that thinks just cause it’s medical it has to be unattractive, these are whole life products.
As I’ve gotten older my autism has effected my ability to eat certain foods and how often. I’ve been losing weight rapidly because I find myself not interested in food or putting it off, being uncomfortable by the amount or certain kinds of foods I had eaten for a multitude of reasons (texture, color, shape). Autism certainly does effect the way you eat things. I used to have an extremely bad eating disorder where I would purposely deprive myself of food and water but now I do it on accident because I put it off or just wait until I can eat something that will make me feel at ease.
I went 18 years of my life not knowing I was autistic because my autism didn’t look exactly like my little sisters. She was extremely anti social and very blunt and almost aggressive. Extreme sensory issues. I was extroverted, you couldn’t shut me up, I loved people and I couldn’t understand annoyance or sarcasm. As I got older I started having violent outbursts and mood swings. I was diagnosed with a general mood disturbance disorder. At 16 I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt and in order to admit me they had to diagnose me with something so they could commit me and “treat” me. Since I was diagnosed previously with a mood disturbance disorder they gave me the bipolar diagnosis as soon as I was admitted without a second evaluation to actually confirm I had bipolar disorder. I was heavily sedated the entire time I was in the psych, it was depressing and the only thing that keeps me from killing myself is knowing that if I fail I have to go back there, fate worse than death. But I sat down with my therapist and talked about having some kind of problem with my attention span and violent mood swings, I guess there was something about the way I explained it and within the hour I was told I had Asperger’s. I started doing research and it literally explained everything I was going through, everything in my life was explained by this simple diagnosis. I’m on extremely heavy medications because the withdrawals are so fucking horrible for me, I don’t even know what my life would look like without them because I’ve taken them for close to 5 years. I was misdiagnosed and heavily medicated. I’m still trying to find a healthy balance and soon hopefully ween off of my medications. If you have a suspicion that you have autism please consult a therapist, I wouldn’t suggest a psychiatrist unless you want to get pumped full of meds (which isn’t necessary to “treat” autism) self diagnosis is really really shaky and a professional diagnosis will give you insight into what exactly you are dealing with. It is a long road, but it’s worth it
Bad temperature control is autism?? OMG... I've stupidly been blaming menopause, I've got to disassociate now because I was blaming menopause for my autism...AHGGGG
The fake facial scar one makes me laugh the hardest for literally no reason at all, lol. I have a pretty bad scar on my face from a dog bite (27 stitches across my forehead, down my nose, and one in my cheek) and two years on, it's just this white knotty section in my eyebrow and and a crater in the side of my nose. The crap she drew on looks like what mine did after it got stitched up and cleaned out a few days after, it's not gonna look like that all the time, lol. These fakers can't even TRY for authenticity anymore, can they?
Love your videos, but I don't understand your issue with people wanting to decorate their mobility aids?? Why shouldn't they be allowed to make something they use on a daily basis their own? They're just trying to make the best of things, and make themself feel more human 😕 why is that a problem?
I think he's so used to people pointing out their fake disabilities that when genuine people want to be unique with their equipment, it looks like they are highlighting their disabilities when it's on any social media platform. Sadly, I think these fakers are really creating issues for truly disabled people by making them seem to "want attention", when in my opinion the ones who are suffering or dealing with their problems want to normalize their lives and educate others. The fakers want attention and clout.
I totally get what you mean and I think he meant.. well I hope he meant that people who tend to fake disabilities make it their entire personality. So asking for help to decorate their mobility aids is like asking for people to give you the attention and recognition you wanted by faking. I think that's what he meant. But yes, real disabled people can totally decorate their things. I hope that makes sense
@@zombietrash416but that's not what they're trying to point out, so let's stick with the original subject of what they're trying to point out. Whether this person needs it or not it seems like a blaze has an issue with them decorating their aids. There's nothing wrong with bedazzling your wheelchair if you want to make it look pretty, there's nothing wrong with putting stickers on your cane if you want to make them pretty. That's what the subject was, so why does he seem to have such a huge issue with it doesn't matter whether their faking or not it's a mobility thing. Are there a shity person for doing this in general? Yes. Should a blaze have a problem with people decorating their mobility aids? No.
Because of these kids people who actually have did can’t get a diagnosis. For example, when I was a child I got kidnapped, sexually abused,abused and exploited at a young age. Skip forward to when I was 16 I found out I was autistic I had terrible depression and anxiety but I was accused of lying I had the same symptoms for did so yea 3 years later I’m 19 now I finally got my diagnosis and gave me antidepressants and some other medicine to help(I don’t remember the name).also I was to a point where I was about to end my life.Point is don’t fake disorders or people who are suffering can’t get any help.
I think people pretending to suffer from mental disorders sucks. I suffer from anxiety, depression etc. And seeing people fake it is so irritating.good video
As someone who lost a friend not even a month and a half ago, this is fucking insulting. Acting like you’re going through this for pity points. Being able to vent about your *dead friend* shouldn’t have to be questioned on if it’s real or not. First it’s the disorder fakers then it’s the grief fakers. Grief is horrifying. I’ve never been through such a stressful experience. Everything feels hopeless. I hope these people get what they deserve.
Could you even imagine reading autism traits online, tiktok of all places, & going around telling people "oh btw I have autism" I'd feel like such an idiot 🤦♀️
I always get so shocked when I hear about people who don’t want to a doctor to get a proper diagnosis, because it’s expensive 😂🙈. In my case I pay for my therapy, not because of getting a diagnosis, but to actually get treatment for my trauma. I couldn’t care less about the “diagnosis” I just want all my symptoms to go away so that I can live a normal life, symptom free. Some weeks I barely have enough money for food, because I spent it on my therapist appointments. I know it’s not smart, but without my therapist help, I wouldn’t be able to continue with life. My therapist is a life saver and worth every penny I have.
11:31 -Listening to the same song for hours, I do that yet I don't have Autism -Forgetting to Hydrate, I do this mainly because I am lazy, still don't have Autism -Extreme Intrest, again I love Project sekai and baking yet I am not Autistic -Bad tempeture control, nah I think that's a women thing tbh
i have adhd and as a (undiagnosed) kid i would dissociate just curled up arms crossed holding my feet with my head between my legs like spaghetti and then i'd be carried around by my shoulders until i was 'back' which took hours sometimes. its fun how i wanna explain more about it but it just stopped at a certain age idek when. but i know it was caused by being overwhelmed in a crowdy place or when i had to do this book presentation and i mentally booked it
If you don't make cool shapes with the pretzels at least once in your life - you have missed out - interesting shape with a lot of potential for more interesting shapes
Seriously, everyone has done that at some point. I've never seen a single person eat a mini pretzel (or even a jumbo soft one) who didn't bite the curved parts first. It's so sad how people take a fairly common action or thought and uses it to make themselves out to be unique or quirky.
@@sluttymctits4496 im sorry but if you don't immediately take a bite out of the dumpy of the jumbo soft pretzel like a fucking cave beast - you need to chill in life - its literal heaven on all the caveman bits of the brain fully rewarded by pretzel flavour
every so often there will be takes that just...aren't it. disabled people can express a desire to have their mobility aids suit their personal aesthetic and fashion. lots of canes, for example, are very plain or look very medical (for lack of a better word) so younger people that need them feel as though they want to make them more individualized. people in wheelchairs also can enjoy adding personal details that not only allow make it easier to spend prolonged periods of time in it, but also allows them to make it an extension of themselves and not simply an object.
I was thinking the same. I'm not disabled myself, but my friend walks with a cane and uses a wheelchair for long trips. She loves to customize them because they make her feel more herself, but if she had the option to not need them, she obviously wouldnt have to think twice.
I also didn't appreciate his takes in response to the "stuff we didn't know were signs of autism until we were diagnosed" - basically just going "oh everybody has that experience" to everything? He says he has Tourette's but he doesn't see a problem in just dismissing disability symptoms because other people experience... listening to the same music over and over (personally I've never heard of other people listening to the same song on repeat *for hours*)? I'm sure he doesn't appreciate people telling him that everyone just makes random noises sometimes when he talks about his condition. I get making fun of the DID fakers but he's progressing to mocking probably actual disabled people for expressing themselves in a way he doesn't like.
@@FrenkTheJoy I very much agree. I wanted to mention that as well, but thought it may be a bit much for one comment. between that reaction and the one with the pretzel and eating habits... like, sure it's a weird example, but I know myself a few others with diagnosed ASD that eat food in very strange manners EVERY time they eat a specific food.
@@FrenkTheJoy yes I see a lot about autism that allistic people would just never notice. My experience is no different from many of these people who “claim” to be autistic. Their takes may be brief and kind of vague but the point is THERE, the autistic people will notice and will understand what they are talking about but allistic people just see it differently than us. They don’t understand the experience themselves so they think they relate, like the people who say “oh everyone’s a little autistic!” They only see autism how the DSM-5 describes us without understanding the actual people and symptoms behind the diagnosis
What is it with people WANTING to be sick. I am in pain almost every day and have to hide my entire list of diseases in order to land a job. Plus I spent more hours in the ER than I did working. What's so fun and quirky and admirable about that...? Where are we going people?? 😭😭
@@GMMcomps2015 istg. Like stopping next to a car crash scenery. But when the cops go like "so you're curious huh? Why don't you take a closer look then?" they suddenly don't want it anymore. An extreme example ik but it feels somewhat like that.
Temperature issues can be a real issue with those who have autism or other sensory issues. I am autistic (diagnosed) and will sit in the sun on an 80-90° day with a jacket on and genuinely not notice how hot it is. Some days when it's 60° I'll be fine, other days when its 60° Ill be shivering and wearing like five layers. This was something my psychiatrist said can/tends to be related to neurodivergence, particularly autism. Its actually quite a huge problem for me. Same with detecting hunger, thirst, and a lot of other self care things.
I have medical issues and am on disability. I use a cane daily but I don’t feel the need to go on tick tock for advice on blinging it out. I have thought about finding something more interesting but the fact that it helps me walk is the most important thing. I also have passed out and I can say that there is no way I could film it as I have no warning and I usually realize it had happened because I wake up in the floor. I also have non shaking seizures from strobe lights and it drives me nuts to watch all these people faking things that I would gladly get rid of if I could.
Death faking friends!? I wanted to cry. Out of me and my 4 other friends, I was the only that survived our downhill. My bf got hit by a car and it killed him while we raced bikes. My two besties committed suicide together because they were so poor they didnt know how to seek help. And then my third best friend killed himself with a shotgun after the first 2. I tried to after they all went, and I did it the worst way possible: smashing my head open with a brick. I got lucky, but I cry when I think about my friends. Dont fake their deaths. Hold onto the friends around you and pray for them 🙏
As a person with DID I've had it when it was diagnosed as Multiple Personality Disorder because I'm so freaking old (38) I was diagnosed at 12, my dad had it( He's now been dead almost 11 from an overdose do to self medicating because we are also schizophrenic and without proper meds which 10 years ago meds weren't as good as they are now). I also have a 21 yr old brother diagnosed with DID as well. We don't put on wigs or crazy make up! These stupid words these idiots use like gatekeeper and having 200 " alters" some are animals is complete bullshit! When I switch I lose time, I don't know what is happening or what I'm saying or doing. I don't have parties and have a DID get together. I would NEVER share this shit like these fakers it's embarrassing not just to me but my kids and family. I've been in treatment since 12 on meds since 12. My brother and I DONT disassociate at the same time and throw a party like hey mom look at us. When I was a child I was told I had " an over active imagination " I'm 38 now I think it's safe to say that's not the case. It's also difficult to diagnose DID because it presents as different disorders there's also levels to it as well. I had severe childhood and teen trauma as well as adult trauma. I try to work on my triggers but it's super embarrassing I never know if I changed and said something to someone that simply wasn't true because when you disassociate you often say things you wish were reality to mask the negative trauma you're facing and unfortunately you don't remember. Watching fake disorders actually triggers me and I have to take on of my as needed medications. I hope this trend stop so does my psychiatrist !
A scar actually looks white and if you run your finger over it you can feel it. The sole reason I know that is that I have a tiny one along my philtrum - small advice, don’t let your 3yos unattended near a big dog lmfao
I mean I disagree with a few things here . Making lists of alters in systems is usually a good idea and including what you know of their life is good aswell . This is because alters split for a reason and the host (the person who’s got the system) won’t remember some of the trauma because that’s a big reason alters form , to block that bad shit from you . The life of an alter can often link to what trauma that caused their split , this is useful when it comes to having therapy to better understand you and how to heal . 2nd thing is the mobility aid comment . I have a few friends who are young and require mobility aids, they decorate them so they feel better about using them and less insecure. Good video as always
Gosh… the fact that ppl on tik tok are making dissociation trendy.. I’ve even seen TikTok’s saying how to dissociate… urks me so bad. Dissociation/derealization/depersonalization is pure distress for me, it makes me want to kms every day.. these people have no idea what they are talking about
Kids do not have any outlets or hobbies except to be online, that’s the problem lol you can become important and get attention you aren’t getting anywhere else when you do it online
Had to come here to comment cause my brother was watching this video and I was listening to it while souped up on flu meds and I hear the first video mentioning Austin the detective…meanwhile my sick ass can’t wrap around the fact that this person isn’t talking about my horse Austin so I start balling my eyes out thinking that my horse got shot. Great start to the New Years guys! Cheers!
something that sticks in my mind a lot is people who have trauma like genuine trauma and do not have things like DID or the dreaded ETC virus that is kicking about these days. Kelsey grammar the famous actor/teacher who we know from fraiser and side show bob etc. he as a young man had to identify his sister body, could you imagine he turned to alcoholism and yet never had DID someone on tiktok lost a pencil in class and now has DID and autism according to fucking google, shit my pants dude. play it safe if someone on tje dreaded app had a mental health issue they might send you a link and if you click it you have chronic nonexsistia
I understand people who use canes etc. wanting to “spice” up their mobility aid. I broke my back about 2 years ago and used a wheelchair, later a walker and cane. But I never felt the need to decorate it. Still don’t feel the need to decorate it because it’s just a bit of metal I use to make walking easier.
Dissociation isn’t quirky, it’s awful, because personally I can’t “turn it off” and I’ve had it for 2 years. Dissociation is mid, not quirky and so cute. It’s a scary feeling.
Okay I know a lot of these people are faking, but honestly the whole "everyone does that!" dismissing of symptoms is something that actual disabled people struggle with dealing with all the time. It's part of why you need an actual doctor to diagnose you so they can determine if your level of being interested in stuff or listening the same song on repeat is normal or is at autism levels. Like, I get it, people fake stuff on tiktok for clout, but I've had to deal with people saying "oh EVERYONE experiences that :)" about my conditions my entire life and it's so beyond fucking annoying. You're also disabled, do you not also have people shitting on you because "oh everyone does that"?
Yeah it's about as palatable as the "but aren't we all a bit autistic" comments. No ma'am....just.....no. Autistic folks are humans, thus our traits are human traits. Of course they can be seen in neurotypical people! It's things like the frequency, motivation and context that differentiate
I have bad temperature control from hypothyroidism (which I swear to god if anyone starts faking they can swap metabolisms with me and fight me in the parking lot) and usually that means everyone else is freezing and I’m still too warm. People are crazy.
Idk im with you on most. But not the customising mobility aids. I buy pretty walking sticks that suit me and my style. I like buying bright coloured braces and splints, the beige from the hospital sucks. If i have to be disabled i want to look good doing it
Many younger people like to decorate wheelchairs and canes, and even older folks! It makes them feel better about themselves- it is a part of their every day attire, so why can’t they make it fancy? I had 4 knee surgeries and needed a walking brace for a long time, and each one had designs on it because it was an option in the orthopedic world- my first one had a soccer ball ⚽️ print because that’s how I tore my ACL, second one was blue black, and it had little sparkles in it- it doesn’t make you not injured. It just makes you more fancy looking. So I’m not really sure how that makes it obvious that someones faking because they want to spice up their medical equipment?
These people get on my nerves.. I wish I could fucking control when I disassociate... It happens randomly and at the worse times! It's the worse when it happens at work when I'm trying to take care of my patients... Luckily it's easy to snap me out of it but when I'm alone it'll last until someone or something snaps me out. And no I don't have DID, I just have ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD. I'm currently watching this while mute... I literally forgot how to fucking talk when I got home from work. This is not quirky and fun this is torture. I feel so broken and just wish I could go one week without having to deal with anxiety...
I completely understand. I hope you can get some water and some carbs in, that's what I struggle most with when I "clock out" mentally. I just posted a comment rant about this, too, lol. I send my best, take care of yourself
You dont learn to dissociate, it organically develops through trauma, you cant turn it on and off, it happens through triggers. This generation is the most embarassing ever 🙈
YEah and also like the forgegting to hydrate and other things, I feel like they are just things that happen when you are autistic, not just the only signs you have autism. (I don't have a diagnosis btw, but I have been told I may have autism by mental health professionals, but still, I am not a professional myself, so I could be wrong about this lol)
@@janecjanimations4473 not picking up on thirst or hunger cues falls under 'reduced interoception' . So difficulties perceiving or processing sensations that come from inside the body. For me, I can't feel the urge to urinate and have had this problem since birth...so my bladder is pretty messed up by now. My daughter demonstrates it through reduced pain perception. She has had some horrific falls ending with big lumps on her head or split lips... but she just bounces straight back up like nothing happened. She'll also purposely try to touch hot oven doors or burning hot concrete etc. That side of things is honestly terrifying as a parent, especially as she's non-verbal
So the only thing I will say is it's really common for people to decorate mobility aids/medical stuff/service dogs....if you like it you will be more likely to use it and it helped me get over the embarrassment I have pins all over the back of my chair flowers all over my feeding tube pole covers to make my leg bag more colorful (and to hide the pee) I made my straps for my leg bag into a garter by adding lace ❤ etc. My wheelchair is "sunset orange" and I've named all my aids as well
I remember a friend of mine sending me a picture with what looked like a broken nose. She was practicing her movie makeup skills. I was convinced for a couple minutes, not gonna lie
Just watched this one . Have 3 kids with autism and some autistic people do not recognise the need to drink or eat as they get absorbed in other things that interest them. 2 of my kids could not recognise if they were hot or cold , as they got older they began to recognise these issues , but they also could not recognise non verbal cues. With instruction and repeated reminders they did eventually become more independent, however my son who is 22 will often go all day without drinking.
Just because you can play different characters, doesn't mean you have DID. I wish someone would give these kids some actual medical information of how these disorders actually operate. Actually.
I mean I can understand bedazzling a cane or whatever as long as it’s not impairing it’s functionality. I’ve seen cool crane things to get pills which look fun. I can’t blame people who have to deal with/use these things everyday for wanting to make it more fun on even an aesthetic level with stickers or whatever. It can be sucky at times to have to rely on things so it can be a bit of a boost to make it less dull. I’d totally get one of those crane things if I didn’t rely on a box that I refill each week (boxes for day and night of each day of the week) so I don’t forget if I’ve taken my meds lol. If I had the option to, all of my pill bottles would be pastel colors so I can’t judge😂

I figured out what needs to be a part of your aesthetic! Your It's NOT a Cosplay sticker!! ♥️♥️♥️ 🦊
Eye cri evrytyme
I use a cane, and customizing it really helps. I’m just a person who prefers things to match my style, and having a mobility aid that feels personal is like the same as having glasses that you think are cute. Do they NEED to be? No. Does it make me feel a little better? Yeah, it does.
Same, I've got a couple different canes and I've painted/modified a few of them, and I put stickers on my wheelchair + pins on my back bag. Idk. Feels good to reclaim my mobility aids.
It’s showing (unsurprisingly) how out of touch some more able bodied people are on these topics.
@@RabbitTeaPot I think that's why I watch people who don't have the disability less and less lately when they speak on stuff they don't have. It's a lot more nuanced than a lot of outside observers might understand so a lot of this criticism (especially from outside the community) feels just... irrelevant in its arguments. Just because my cane is pretty doesn't mean I don't literally need it to get from my bed to the bathroom without falling and hurting myself.
@@GrimmDelightsDice I gonna be honest, I don't think Ablaze meant to cause the offence it has & hopefully will apologise in the next video. I guess my take is "you live, you learn... & sometimes that lesson is through saying something you didn't know you shouldn't." but perhaps I'm a bit of an optimist. He just does not seem like a malicious guy.
My dad is a HUGE Prince fan and has a cane that's the perfect Prince shade of purple! He says it makes him feel cool when he needs it 😭
It gets worse - God - remember when Tiktok could have been banned - good times man
It should've been. It 100% should've been.

Honestly I was on the ban train as I knew it was gonna get worse
Just putting this out there, but I absolutely despised Trump. At the time he was raging against TikTok, I thought he was being a whiney baby yet again. Looking back, I think he was right about it. Just imagine how different/better the world would be without TikTok trends and the spyware that comes along with the app?
@@sluttymctits4496 That's what I wish people would focus more on. Less about TDS, or whoever it may be, and more about WHAT they're talking *about.* Like you said, the spyware. Oh. My. God. Not safe, just so not safe. China has such a hypocritical and abusive history, we really need to start limiting their presence in our lives because it only gets worse from here, politics aside, I'm talking general public safety. The very reason we buy VPNs.
Having Autism I never considered once looking at any of my autistic behavior and went "Let's record it and upload it to the f*cking internet!"
Same and I post tiktoks but I wouldn't do it on my autistic behaviour
Same lol
correct...
Same
Same, this shit is ridiculous
Actually sometimes people do dye service dogs but because colorful dogs are less likely to be stolen because trained service dogs have a higher chance of being stolen
What kind of shit should a person be to steal a disabled person's dog? Crazy world.
I work in what is essentially an adventure park, when disabled people want to access our rides and activities they often need someone to come help to make everything run smooth for them, we are extremely accomodating because we all believe that everyone should enjoy their time at the park. So we will go above and beyond for them but we’re so strict about who can access the accessibility entrances and things. Regular customers cannot because they clog up the area for people who have wheelchairs and this is the only entrance people with mobility issues can use. We let family and carers through too but regular customers need to use the normal entrance. Customers often see the entrance as a short cut and try to get in anyway. It’s so, so obvious when someone is faking just to get in. Even people with invisible disabilities, they never make a scene, they’re always quiet, thankful and really don’t want to draw any attention to themselves. Fakers are always loud, demanding and try to make a scene. It’s so obvious. People with real disabilities almost always come to see me and quietly ask for help, right from the get go. Fakers decide at the last minute they need the accomodation. I have an invisible disability myself so I try my best to never assume but some fakers make it so obvious.
I agree with most of your statements but not the cane one. If you already have a visible disability, why not making it as fun and cool looking as possible? I have diabetes and i have to wear my pump visibly the whole day. So i started sewing some fun waistpockets (can't remember the right english word for those)
That definitely is important to me..
as an occasional wheelchair user i agree with this sentiment. especially for young children adding cute accessories can help make the disability less scary and more fun.
The issue I had with that clip was they were moving with twists and turns 100% perfectly fine without the can touching the floor. If they actually needed the cane, shouldn't they be moving carefully as to avoid agitating whatever injury/disease they have that requires said cane?
@@ashleypetrini4627 exactly
@@ashleypetrini4627 actually not true same how some wheelchair users don’t need them all the time it’s an aid it helps yes but they can stand and move without it .-.
@@bunnygamer8563 I understand that, but with how they move makes it suspicious. Why would they do that when it could easily aggravate their injury/disease. I would think they would be careful about how they move, to prevent the issue from acting up.
That “decorating my cane” reminded me of an ink masters episode where their task was to paint designs to put on children’s wheelchairs to make them less embarrassed to be disabled and have fun with their equipment so I don’t think things like that are unusual or at least they shouldn’t be, the only thing bugging me out a bit was the bird mask it just looks a little eery? Other than that the video is super cute
Oh as a teenager I used to dress differently from day to day, I guess I had DID the whole time. :(
Their "styles" that "prove" they're different people are all just variations of the same Hot Topic goth-punk style.
Lol right? Fuck..Im 33 and my style still changes daily. I love goth styling but I also enjoy wearing a plain pair of leggings and a tshirt. Plus there are times I need to dress in more professional clothing due to functions at my college or needing to be at court.
People can have multiple personal interests and styles without it being a "diagnosed" mental illness. 🤦🏽♀️ Society is really going to shit lol.
@@ebonymarieblack1530 I mean I wear different clothing with different colors I guess have DID now great…
@Ebony Marie Black Right?? I'm 35 years old and my style is SO varied depending on my energy levels, hormones, weather, time of day, what I'm dressing for, etc...
I couldn’t see the video about decorating the cane so I’m just going off what you said, but wanting to decorate/personalise your assistive tech and mobility aids isn’t unusual or a new thing. It’s something that’s with us everyday so giving it a touch to personalise it it nice.
I get wanting to customise your mobility aids etc. bc I get decals for my dexcom and my insulin pump bc it makes me feel less self conscious about having them attached to my body 24/7. Like it massively helps me from a mental health pov when it comes to body image. Idk
It all depends on your device and your lifestyle, though. I’ve been a wheelchair user my whole life and there’s no way I’d ever add stickers, paint, or funky fabrics to it because for me it’s all about utility. I load/unload my wheelchair in/out of my vehicle a minimum of four times a day, I’m at the barn caring for my daughter’s horse all the time, I’m making a mess cooking in my kitchen, or I’m outside digging in my garden. My chair is my lifeline and I’m 100% dependent on it, but it would look like crap within a day if I tried to make it look fancy. Not a knock on anyone who wants to express their personal style; I’m just saying that it’s not practical for everyone to do so.
@@pinkmonkeybird2644 no of course its not practical for everyone to do.
I decorate my pump to and my dexcom sometimes to match outfits if I'm going out just makes them look nicer bc I have no choice but to wear them bc they literally keep me alive but also I'm self conscious about them a fair bit
I think this is a really good point wanting to decorate something that you have with you all of the time to survive shouldn't indicate that your faking a disorder. If someone wants to make a tool prettier and more fun to look at that seems perfectly reasonable to me and I think it just depends on the person.
Same I like getting fun designed patches for covering my guardian sensor for my insulin pump. Especially holiday and seasoned themed ones, its like decorating myself lol
I decorate my cane so I don’t misplace it. Work at a thrift store and have had co-workers and customers try to sell/buy it,so with the decorations they know it’s mine!😁🤣
I mean, whats wrong with wanting to decorate your wheelchair or cane? I'm assuming if someone has to deal with it their whole lives, there's nothing wrong in wanting to make it look a bit cooler or more likeable to you. There was this guy who made his wheelchair cyberpunk-themed, and it was super cool, and it made him feel a bit happier than just having to look at a regular whelchair everyday. I mean, if u gotta deal with something, i wouldnt say its wrong to want to make it a bit nicer to look at, for yourself
my friend has a cane etc. and ngl we had a good time bonding as we decorated it. they were going through Some Shit and it was my way of trying to show i cared. if i had to compare it to anything, it'd be doodling on shoes or putting pins on a lanyard.
I have a seizure disorder and I always 100% believe these tiktokers who have a camera up before they fall are faking
I’ve been trying for years with my mother and sister to get my seizures on camera and take to a neurologist. On top of that, there’s no way you can just record when you are having a brain fog before you go into them.
Also my “friend” tried faking them because of me and I’d intentionally bait her into lies to prove she was lying. I’d go
“Oh my god how long were you having a seizure? Mine usually last an hour” (the lie being that normal seizures last less than a few minutes for many people including me)
She’d go “I have having one for three hours!” Because I guess she thought a few minutes wasn’t that long or serious- she literally used to undermine me all the time.
Also she thinks you’re conscious during a seizure because I asked her “were you in pain during it? :(“ she goes “YEAH! i was crying and everything!”
Girl.. GIRL
Edit: I’m so glad people are sharing their experiences as well in my thread, just feel like I finally found people who understand it Jesus Christ
I understand this a tiny bit, because I have pre-fainting spells and you seriously can not get these on camera because it's basically impossible. it's sad seeing so many people fake things that aren't common, because it feels like at least half of the TikTok platform is faking Tourette's and DID
@@Moralityz it’s also such a mockery because it’s so easy to tell they “know” the symptoms but don’t know how to execute them in their sick little attention seeking performances.
It’s like trying to tell an artist how to draw an animal they’ve never been educated on or seen based on a description.
It’s so frustrating. And in a bittersweet way I’m glad I’m not the only one just tired of this shit.
The way DID presents and how many other disorders present are starkly different than what these kids believe. It makes me more ashamed to come out with my actual problems out of fear that they’ll adapt because of me or people will look at me like I am a fraud. (Rightfully so with all these kids making it harder)
It’s a shame when someone has to question the validity of your condition because of tiktokers
I have epilepsy, and seizures are no joke. Once I had a seizure in my sleep; it felt like something was pressing on my chest, and i was clenching my muscles.
I don't have a mental disorder but I do have a physical one. I have some type of anemia (I have a blood disorder) right and my mom is a teacher so ik a lot of people who come to the teachers to say they have anemia or something to skip athletics. Like damn if ur gonna fake it at least be consistent because later on u will see them playing their favorite sport (right after they lied)💀. But yeah a lot of people in my school usually anemia or Ed .
Fr. I sometimes have seizures too and I don't notice shit before they start. I might feel a little dizzy like 5 seconds before and then just BAM black. I also gave myself a black eye and a concussion one time I had one. How is this uwu and quirky and admirable...? It can literally be dangerous.
Bad take on the mobility aid customising. Real bad take..
I know many severly disabled young people and children who customise their aids and devices to suit them more or make them feel more "made for them"
As someone myself whos only been walking for 8 years, (im 25, learnt to walk at 17) i have spray painted and customised my rollator and wheelchair to suit me as a young person. The amount of people who STRAIGHT UP ACCUSED me of "Stealing my rollator from my grandma" is ridiculous. Young people should be able to have mobility aids that are made for them and suit them. Not something made for the elderly or something plain black.
Fully agree, I have had people before assume my boyfriend was my CARETAKER and like not address me or look at me while speaking, instead asking him what I was ordering for example. One girl even tried to flirt with him once and asked, "What time are you off work?" while we were ordering food from a food court... I was like "What?" because we both were confused then she look quite embarrassed and I understood she thought it wasn't possible I could be dating an abled man as a wheelchair user. When I started saying "eff it" and dying my hair, slapping stickers on my crutches and my wheelchair, I started to notice I got a lot less of that kind of treatment oddly enough
Fuck that's awful. Some people are just morons.@@sevweir8307
I think it's different for people demanding views.... it's good to make it our own. I use a wheelchair and cane, but mine are basic. 😅
The absolute best thing dude is I'm 40 & disabled, just replaced my crutches with a new pair and because of my aging punk/rocker aesthetic I covered them both in black electrical tape with white stars going up the back & tied a bandanna to each handle A for grip on sweaty hand days B it looks like Stephen Tyler's mic lmfao so from a spastic can confirm accessirising matters 😂🤙♠️
Faking a “frinds” death is crazy 💀
I love watching your videos 😂 buuut I’m disabled and I’ve had to use a cane for about 21 years now and I have to see a pain specialist every 3 weeks to reprogram a pump in my leg.
So basically I see a lot of patients using canes 🙂
Decorating your cane is a lot more popular than you might think. I have a number of canes with different carved hand grips. If you’re stuck using a cane every day of your life you may as well like what it looks like. So I personally don’t know the girl but there’s a good chance that she wasn’t lying about wanting to decorate her cane. 🙃
Yeah idk that would be seen as.odd or something
I have multiple canes to go with different outfits. If my heels matched and I can't wear them now, my cane will take their place.
I'm still crying 😭 Hope you and the beautiful retro phantom are doing well! You guys are adorable together. She's awesome beautiful and seems extremely smart... You done lucked out with that one!

@@greatleader4841 yes I think they have been together for a while now. They just moved in together
I agree with pretty much everything except the decorating your cane one. Decorating your medical equipment isn't weird or uncommon at all. I've seen tons of disabled people with customized medical stuff. I've seen:
- Decorative wheelchair wheel covers
- Decorative ostomy bag covers
- Decorative insulin pump covers
- Decorative glucose monitor covers
- Decorated canes
And so much more!
Think of it like picking a cute pair of glasses. Nobody thinks its weird to customize your glasses. Glasses are medical equipment. He makes it sounds like disabled people are just 100% serious and depressed about their conditions. What's so wrong about wanting to have fun and match your medical equipment to your style? I usually agree with everything he says but that one rubbed me the wrong way.
I have ASD, two of my boys have ASD, and a 3rd is in the process of being diagnosed. I have met several people who are also diagnosed but I have never seen, heard of, nor experienced "forgetting to drink anything". One thing I remember from growing up and I have noticed and been told is something that I never would have associated with ASD is not responding to one's name a significant number of times in a reasonable period of times. We all have perfect and have always had perfect hearing. I don't know how to explain it. It is like having a blind spot in your hearing. Or something that I was too embarrassed the vast majority of my life to ask about is I can be having a normal conversation with someone and suddenly I can't understand them at all. I hear them and I know that they are speaking English but I can't process any of it, it is just sounds. You become so embarrassed and after you see them feel frustrated because you ask them to repeat themselves a few times you just want to go and hide.
I'm not diagnosed with ASD but I am diagnosed with ADHD and I've always wondered if I also have ASD. All of what you mentioned applies to me completely
I know someone who has ASD who "forgets" (a lot more to it than just forgetting) to take care of themselves which includes eating and drinking, and they are under 24/hr care because of it. Just because you never heard of it or experiences it (neither do I) doesn't mean others haven't. People need to remember liars get their most convincing stories/emotions/experiences from real people who have experienced them. I have had the same thing with my name being called, my family had to either use my nickname or a certain sound to get my attention.
I actually forget to drink, eat, and go to bathroom until I get to severe levels. Those pains and urges don't hit me until im basically falling over. It's rough on my health but ASD is really to only thing i can blame it on since it seems many other experience those symptoms too.
Nothing wrong with decorating your mobility aids. This is a hill I’ll die on lol. This time of year you see quite a lot of people with battery powered fairy lights on their chairs and rollators and stuff, which I think is awesome. I’m also a big fan of wraps and spoke covers for wheelchairs, you can get some really cool effects. When I first got crutches I had those hideous grey NHS ones, and they were so depressing. It already sucked to have to find my crutches to leave the house, as it just further reminded me of the situation I was in, and having them be the depressing gray of an overcast day didn’t help. I was at the point of trying to glue fake flowers in the holes when I lucked out and a friend told me a relative of theirs was moving into a wheelchair and looking to sell on her range of coloured crutches. Now the ones I have are turquoise and while it still sucks to need them, they’re not inherently depressing and ugly. They also have way, way better handles, which matters a lot when you’re putting a lot of weight on your hands for hours at a time. Using those NHS ones gives me hand and wrist pain after about 10 minutes, I feel terrible for anyone who has no choice but to rely on them.
As someone who's a young person that uses walking aids, decorating them is often a big thing for us because it makes us feel more confident in using them. I don't want to be giving old lady chic lmao. Not sure what's supposed to be wrong with that video, being disabled doesn't mean we don't care about style.
all the alter names sound like names I’d come up with for my mary sue ocs when i was like 12

-While having headphones with cable, you take them out of pocket tangled.
-When you take one thing out of the pocket second thing is falling out.
-If you see someone yawning, you also feel urge to yawn.
- Sometimes in bright light or while eating peppermint gum or in places with strong smell, you are sneezing.
-Amount of words you have readen today is greater than 69.
-You are older than 5 years old.
-Even if I was more accurate than all fortune tellers you ever heard, you still doesn't want to give me money for my prophecy.
-Someone you know will get sick.
-You will die but not so fast as you thought.
i think a huge issue is that people don’t understand that u can have different looks and feel like different genders or as a different person sometimes and that doesnt mean u have DID
I'm definitely going to put glitter on my wheelchair 😂
Idk man, my mom used to decorate her crutches that she would get after any surgery that required them for the healing process. Wanting to decorate things you need for disabilities doesn't mean you are making light of the situation, it's also expressing yourself and making it an extention of you.
Usually with you on this but the idea of medical assistant items, (chairs,canes,grip items for opening things etc) being made to look more attractive or trendy isn’t new. Ask anyone who was a teenager growing up in a manual chair & they’ll probably say they either had or wanted, or where overjoyed by the new customisable, modern chairs. Don’t be a dick that thinks just cause it’s medical it has to be unattractive, these are whole life products.
You should get a giant print of "not a cosplay" for your background.

As I’ve gotten older my autism has effected my ability to eat certain foods and how often. I’ve been losing weight rapidly because I find myself not interested in food or putting it off, being uncomfortable by the amount or certain kinds of foods I had eaten for a multitude of reasons (texture, color, shape). Autism certainly does effect the way you eat things. I used to have an extremely bad eating disorder where I would purposely deprive myself of food and water but now I do it on accident because I put it off or just wait until I can eat something that will make me feel at ease.
I went 18 years of my life not knowing I was autistic because my autism didn’t look exactly like my little sisters. She was extremely anti social and very blunt and almost aggressive. Extreme sensory issues. I was extroverted, you couldn’t shut me up, I loved people and I couldn’t understand annoyance or sarcasm. As I got older I started having violent outbursts and mood swings. I was diagnosed with a general mood disturbance disorder. At 16 I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt and in order to admit me they had to diagnose me with something so they could commit me and “treat” me. Since I was diagnosed previously with a mood disturbance disorder they gave me the bipolar diagnosis as soon as I was admitted without a second evaluation to actually confirm I had bipolar disorder. I was heavily sedated the entire time I was in the psych, it was depressing and the only thing that keeps me from killing myself is knowing that if I fail I have to go back there, fate worse than death. But I sat down with my therapist and talked about having some kind of problem with my attention span and violent mood swings, I guess there was something about the way I explained it and within the hour I was told I had Asperger’s. I started doing research and it literally explained everything I was going through, everything in my life was explained by this simple diagnosis. I’m on extremely heavy medications because the withdrawals are so fucking horrible for me, I don’t even know what my life would look like without them because I’ve taken them for close to 5 years. I was misdiagnosed and heavily medicated. I’m still trying to find a healthy balance and soon hopefully ween off of my medications. If you have a suspicion that you have autism please consult a therapist, I wouldn’t suggest a psychiatrist unless you want to get pumped full of meds (which isn’t necessary to “treat” autism) self diagnosis is really really shaky and a professional diagnosis will give you insight into what exactly you are dealing with. It is a long road, but it’s worth it
Damn I’m sorry had go through that.
"when did he start, when he was 2?" idk why but this whole part is hilarious, especially with the music in the back my sides hurt sm lmfao
Dissociating is scary as hell, especially while driving. I don’t get why people want to learn to do it.
Bad temperature control is autism?? OMG... I've stupidly been blaming menopause, I've got to disassociate now because I was blaming menopause for my autism...AHGGGG
The fake facial scar one makes me laugh the hardest for literally no reason at all, lol. I have a pretty bad scar on my face from a dog bite (27 stitches across my forehead, down my nose, and one in my cheek) and two years on, it's just this white knotty section in my eyebrow and and a crater in the side of my nose. The crap she drew on looks like what mine did after it got stitched up and cleaned out a few days after, it's not gonna look like that all the time, lol. These fakers can't even TRY for authenticity anymore, can they?
Love your videos, but I don't understand your issue with people wanting to decorate their mobility aids?? Why shouldn't they be allowed to make something they use on a daily basis their own? They're just trying to make the best of things, and make themself feel more human 😕 why is that a problem?
I think he's so used to people pointing out their fake disabilities that when genuine people want to be unique with their equipment, it looks like they are highlighting their disabilities when it's on any social media platform. Sadly, I think these fakers are really creating issues for truly disabled people by making them seem to "want attention", when in my opinion the ones who are suffering or dealing with their problems want to normalize their lives and educate others. The fakers want attention and clout.
I totally get what you mean and I think he meant.. well I hope he meant that people who tend to fake disabilities make it their entire personality. So asking for help to decorate their mobility aids is like asking for people to give you the attention and recognition you wanted by faking.
I think that's what he meant. But yes, real disabled people can totally decorate their things.
I hope that makes sense
The person doesn't even need a cane.
Shes trying to be quirky by pretending she needs a cane.
@@zombietrash416but that's not what they're trying to point out, so let's stick with the original subject of what they're trying to point out. Whether this person needs it or not it seems like a blaze has an issue with them decorating their aids. There's nothing wrong with bedazzling your wheelchair if you want to make it look pretty, there's nothing wrong with putting stickers on your cane if you want to make them pretty. That's what the subject was, so why does he seem to have such a huge issue with it doesn't matter whether their faking or not it's a mobility thing. Are there a shity person for doing this in general? Yes. Should a blaze have a problem with people decorating their mobility aids? No.
Because of these kids people who actually have did can’t get a diagnosis. For example, when I was a child I got kidnapped, sexually abused,abused and exploited at a young age. Skip forward to when I was 16 I found out I was autistic I had terrible depression and anxiety but I was accused of lying I had the same symptoms for did so yea 3 years later I’m 19 now I finally got my diagnosis and gave me antidepressants and some other medicine to help(I don’t remember the name).also I was to a point where I was about to end my life.Point is don’t fake disorders or people who are suffering can’t get any help.
VAGAZZLE your wheelchair!!!!! 😂😂😂 I’m dead! I love this channel!
I think people pretending to suffer from mental disorders sucks. I suffer from anxiety, depression etc. And seeing people fake it is so irritating.good video
As someone who lost a friend not even a month and a half ago, this is fucking insulting. Acting like you’re going through this for pity points. Being able to vent about your *dead friend* shouldn’t have to be questioned on if it’s real or not. First it’s the disorder fakers then it’s the grief fakers. Grief is horrifying. I’ve never been through such a stressful experience. Everything feels hopeless. I hope these people get what they deserve.
Could you even imagine reading autism traits online, tiktok of all places, & going around telling people "oh btw I have autism" I'd feel like such an idiot 🤦♀️
I always get so shocked when I hear about people who don’t want to a doctor to get a proper diagnosis, because it’s expensive 😂🙈. In my case I pay for my therapy, not because of getting a diagnosis, but to actually get treatment for my trauma. I couldn’t care less about the “diagnosis” I just want all my symptoms to go away so that I can live a normal life, symptom free. Some weeks I barely have enough money for food, because I spent it on my therapist appointments. I know it’s not smart, but without my therapist help, I wouldn’t be able to continue with life. My therapist is a life saver and worth every penny I have.
“Eating pretzels autistically” is just what my friend would call it if I was eating pretzels lol
I do the same thing w my pretzels and it's not considered Autistic! Wow just wow
11:31
-Listening to the same song for hours, I do that yet I don't have Autism
-Forgetting to Hydrate, I do this mainly because I am lazy, still don't have Autism
-Extreme Intrest, again I love Project sekai and baking yet I am not Autistic
-Bad tempeture control, nah I think that's a women thing tbh
i have adhd and as a (undiagnosed) kid i would dissociate just curled up arms crossed holding my feet with my head between my legs like spaghetti and then i'd be carried around by my shoulders until i was 'back' which took hours sometimes. its fun how i wanna explain more about it but it just stopped at a certain age idek when. but i know it was caused by being overwhelmed in a crowdy place or when i had to do this book presentation and i mentally booked it
The switch from Ablaze to Fred was so smooth, incredible lol
If you don't make cool shapes with the pretzels at least once in your life - you have missed out - interesting shape with a lot of potential for more interesting shapes
Seriously, everyone has done that at some point. I've never seen a single person eat a mini pretzel (or even a jumbo soft one) who didn't bite the curved parts first. It's so sad how people take a fairly common action or thought and uses it to make themselves out to be unique or quirky.
@@sluttymctits4496 im sorry but if you don't immediately take a bite out of the dumpy of the jumbo soft pretzel like a fucking cave beast - you need to chill in life - its literal heaven on all the caveman bits of the brain fully rewarded by pretzel flavour
That girl around 09:00 like "facets of a personality? No, no, I'm a static character with separate and multiple static personalities."
8:40 I change drastically my style everyday since secondary school. SHIT I HAVE DID
Well now that we have DID get
Sympathy points complain how hard our life is.
every so often there will be takes that just...aren't it. disabled people can express a desire to have their mobility aids suit their personal aesthetic and fashion. lots of canes, for example, are very plain or look very medical (for lack of a better word) so younger people that need them feel as though they want to make them more individualized. people in wheelchairs also can enjoy adding personal details that not only allow make it easier to spend prolonged periods of time in it, but also allows them to make it an extension of themselves and not simply an object.
I was thinking the same. I'm not disabled myself, but my friend walks with a cane and uses a wheelchair for long trips. She loves to customize them because they make her feel more herself, but if she had the option to not need them, she obviously wouldnt have to think twice.
I also didn't appreciate his takes in response to the "stuff we didn't know were signs of autism until we were diagnosed" - basically just going "oh everybody has that experience" to everything? He says he has Tourette's but he doesn't see a problem in just dismissing disability symptoms because other people experience... listening to the same music over and over (personally I've never heard of other people listening to the same song on repeat *for hours*)? I'm sure he doesn't appreciate people telling him that everyone just makes random noises sometimes when he talks about his condition.
I get making fun of the DID fakers but he's progressing to mocking probably actual disabled people for expressing themselves in a way he doesn't like.
@@FrenkTheJoy I very much agree. I wanted to mention that as well, but thought it may be a bit much for one comment. between that reaction and the one with the pretzel and eating habits... like, sure it's a weird example, but I know myself a few others with diagnosed ASD that eat food in very strange manners EVERY time they eat a specific food.
@@FrenkTheJoy yes I see a lot about autism that allistic people would just never notice. My experience is no different from many of these people who “claim” to be autistic. Their takes may be brief and kind of vague but the point is THERE, the autistic people will notice and will understand what they are talking about but allistic people just see it differently than us. They don’t understand the experience themselves so they think they relate, like the people who say “oh everyone’s a little autistic!” They only see autism how the DSM-5 describes us without understanding the actual people and symptoms behind the diagnosis
What is it with people WANTING to be sick. I am in pain almost every day and have to hide my entire list of diseases in order to land a job. Plus I spent more hours in the ER than I did working. What's so fun and quirky and admirable about that...? Where are we going people?? 😭😭
@@GMMcomps2015 istg. Like stopping next to a car crash scenery. But when the cops go like "so you're curious huh? Why don't you take a closer look then?" they suddenly don't want it anymore. An extreme example ik but it feels somewhat like that.
@@GMMcomps2015 word
Temperature issues can be a real issue with those who have autism or other sensory issues. I am autistic (diagnosed) and will sit in the sun on an 80-90° day with a jacket on and genuinely not notice how hot it is. Some days when it's 60° I'll be fine, other days when its 60° Ill be shivering and wearing like five layers. This was something my psychiatrist said can/tends to be related to neurodivergence, particularly autism. Its actually quite a huge problem for me. Same with detecting hunger, thirst, and a lot of other self care things.
fun fact: people do dye their service dogs (with pet friendly dye) cuz it makes them harder to steal
Noooo!! The “Ablaze…Fred” completely took me out dammit 😂😂
I have medical issues and am on disability. I use a cane daily but I don’t feel the need to go on tick tock for advice on blinging it out. I have thought about finding something more interesting but the fact that it helps me walk is the most important thing.
I also have passed out and I can say that there is no way I could film it as I have no warning and I usually realize it had happened because I wake up in the floor. I also have non shaking seizures from strobe lights and it drives me nuts to watch all these people faking things that I would gladly get rid of if I could.
wait, what's wrong with decorating their own stuff?
Death faking friends!? I wanted to cry. Out of me and my 4 other friends, I was the only that survived our downhill. My bf got hit by a car and it killed him while we raced bikes. My two besties committed suicide together because they were so poor they didnt know how to seek help. And then my third best friend killed himself with a shotgun after the first 2. I tried to after they all went, and I did it the worst way possible: smashing my head open with a brick. I got lucky, but I cry when I think about my friends. Dont fake their deaths. Hold onto the friends around you and pray for them 🙏
I have bad ADHD and it sucks its not fun not being able to sit still i used to make my teacher super made because i used to click my pin non stop.
As a person with DID I've had it when it was diagnosed as Multiple Personality Disorder because I'm so freaking old (38) I was diagnosed at 12, my dad had it( He's now been dead almost 11 from an overdose do to self medicating because we are also schizophrenic and without proper meds which 10 years ago meds weren't as good as they are now). I also have a 21 yr old brother diagnosed with DID as well. We don't put on wigs or crazy make up! These stupid words these idiots use like gatekeeper and having 200 " alters" some are animals is complete bullshit! When I switch I lose time, I don't know what is happening or what I'm saying or doing. I don't have parties and have a DID get together. I would NEVER share this shit like these fakers it's embarrassing not just to me but my kids and family. I've been in treatment since 12 on meds since 12. My brother and I DONT disassociate at the same time and throw a party like hey mom look at us. When I was a child I was told I had " an over active imagination " I'm 38 now I think it's safe to say that's not the case. It's also difficult to diagnose DID because it presents as different disorders there's also levels to it as well. I had severe childhood and teen trauma as well as adult trauma. I try to work on my triggers but it's super embarrassing I never know if I changed and said something to someone that simply wasn't true because when you disassociate you often say things you wish were reality to mask the negative trauma you're facing and unfortunately you don't remember. Watching fake disorders actually triggers me and I have to take on of my as needed medications. I hope this trend stop so does my psychiatrist !
I have OSDD,and agree with you. Please take care of yourself and send hugs!
@@Sarika38 Thank you

A scar actually looks white and if you run your finger over it you can feel it. The sole reason I know that is that I have a tiny one along my philtrum - small advice, don’t let your 3yos unattended near a big dog lmfao
I mean I disagree with a few things here . Making lists of alters in systems is usually a good idea and including what you know of their life is good aswell . This is because alters split for a reason and the host (the person who’s got the system) won’t remember some of the trauma because that’s a big reason alters form , to block that bad shit from you . The life of an alter can often link to what trauma that caused their split , this is useful when it comes to having therapy to better understand you and how to heal .
2nd thing is the mobility aid comment . I have a few friends who are young and require mobility aids, they decorate them so they feel better about using them and less insecure.
Good video as always
Gosh… the fact that ppl on tik tok are making dissociation trendy.. I’ve even seen TikTok’s saying how to dissociate… urks me so bad. Dissociation/derealization/depersonalization is pure distress for me, it makes me want to kms every day.. these people have no idea what they are talking about
Kids do not have any outlets or hobbies except to be online, that’s the problem lol you can become important and get attention you aren’t getting anywhere else when you do it online
Normal people: Listening to the same song for hours
Musicians: playing the same song for hours.
Whose more disordered then eh? Lmao
If eating pretzels like that means I have autism then I went undiagnosed for a loooong time
Had to come here to comment cause my brother was watching this video and I was listening to it while souped up on flu meds and I hear the first video mentioning Austin the detective…meanwhile my sick ass can’t wrap around the fact that this person isn’t talking about my horse Austin so I start balling my eyes out thinking that my horse got shot. Great start to the New Years guys! Cheers!
Ablaze climbing on his chair is iconic to me 🤣
something that sticks in my mind a lot is people who have trauma like genuine trauma and do not have things like DID or the dreaded ETC virus that is kicking about these days. Kelsey grammar the famous actor/teacher who we know from fraiser and side show bob etc. he as a young man had to identify his sister body, could you imagine he turned to alcoholism and yet never had DID someone on tiktok lost a pencil in class and now has DID and autism according to fucking google, shit my pants dude. play it safe if someone on tje dreaded app had a mental health issue they might send you a link and if you click it you have chronic nonexsistia
I understand people who use canes etc. wanting to “spice” up their mobility aid. I broke my back about 2 years ago and used a wheelchair, later a walker and cane. But I never felt the need to decorate it. Still don’t feel the need to decorate it because it’s just a bit of metal I use to make walking easier.
NOT THE FRIND😭😭😭😭😭😭
the beginning is so... emotional... i cried buckets..... oh my lord..... 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏
Let's stop faking DID and just start writing stories about the characters y'all make up
Dissociation isn’t quirky, it’s awful, because personally I can’t “turn it off” and I’ve had it for 2 years. Dissociation is mid, not quirky and so cute. It’s a scary feeling.
As someone who has actually lost a friend, this makes me want to punch a wall
Okay I know a lot of these people are faking, but honestly the whole "everyone does that!" dismissing of symptoms is something that actual disabled people struggle with dealing with all the time. It's part of why you need an actual doctor to diagnose you so they can determine if your level of being interested in stuff or listening the same song on repeat is normal or is at autism levels. Like, I get it, people fake stuff on tiktok for clout, but I've had to deal with people saying "oh EVERYONE experiences that :)" about my conditions my entire life and it's so beyond fucking annoying. You're also disabled, do you not also have people shitting on you because "oh everyone does that"?
Yeah it's about as palatable as the "but aren't we all a bit autistic" comments. No ma'am....just.....no. Autistic folks are humans, thus our traits are human traits. Of course they can be seen in neurotypical people! It's things like the frequency, motivation and context that differentiate
I have bad temperature control from hypothyroidism (which I swear to god if anyone starts faking they can swap metabolisms with me and fight me in the parking lot) and usually that means everyone else is freezing and I’m still too warm. People are crazy.
If anyone wants my autism I’ll trade Yah than punch you in face for faking autism in beginning.
Idk im with you on most. But not the customising mobility aids. I buy pretty walking sticks that suit me and my style. I like buying bright coloured braces and splints, the beige from the hospital sucks. If i have to be disabled i want to look good doing it
Many younger people like to decorate wheelchairs and canes, and even older folks! It makes them feel better about themselves- it is a part of their every day attire, so why can’t they make it fancy?
I had 4 knee surgeries and needed a walking brace for a long time, and each one had designs on it because it was an option in the orthopedic world- my first one had a soccer ball ⚽️ print because that’s how I tore my ACL, second one was blue black, and it had little sparkles in it- it doesn’t make you not injured. It just makes you more fancy looking.
So I’m not really sure how that makes it obvious that someones faking because they want to spice up their medical equipment?
These people get on my nerves.. I wish I could fucking control when I disassociate... It happens randomly and at the worse times! It's the worse when it happens at work when I'm trying to take care of my patients... Luckily it's easy to snap me out of it but when I'm alone it'll last until someone or something snaps me out. And no I don't have DID, I just have ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD. I'm currently watching this while mute... I literally forgot how to fucking talk when I got home from work. This is not quirky and fun this is torture. I feel so broken and just wish I could go one week without having to deal with anxiety...
I completely understand. I hope you can get some water and some carbs in, that's what I struggle most with when I "clock out" mentally. I just posted a comment rant about this, too, lol. I send my best, take care of yourself
You dont learn to dissociate, it organically develops through trauma, you cant turn it on and off, it happens through triggers. This generation is the most embarassing ever 🙈
me when frinds
Somehow I slept for a 17 hours but managed to be early on this video
Autistic people tend to eat things strangely (yes this is a symptom of autism) ... I think that's what she meant
YEah and also like the forgegting to hydrate and other things, I feel like they are just things that happen when you are autistic, not just the only signs you have autism. (I don't have a diagnosis btw, but I have been told I may have autism by mental health professionals, but still, I am not a professional myself, so I could be wrong about this lol)
@@janecjanimations4473 not picking up on thirst or hunger cues falls under 'reduced interoception' . So difficulties perceiving or processing sensations that come from inside the body. For me, I can't feel the urge to urinate and have had this problem since birth...so my bladder is pretty messed up by now. My daughter demonstrates it through reduced pain perception. She has had some horrific falls ending with big lumps on her head or split lips... but she just bounces straight back up like nothing happened. She'll also purposely try to touch hot oven doors or burning hot concrete etc. That side of things is honestly terrifying as a parent, especially as she's non-verbal

So the only thing I will say is it's really common for people to decorate mobility aids/medical stuff/service dogs....if you like it you will be more likely to use it and it helped me get over the embarrassment I have pins all over the back of my chair flowers all over my feeding tube pole covers to make my leg bag more colorful (and to hide the pee) I made my straps for my leg bag into a garter by adding lace ❤ etc. My wheelchair is "sunset orange" and I've named all my aids as well

Just watched this one .
Have 3 kids with autism and some autistic people do not recognise the need to drink or eat as they get absorbed in other things that interest them. 2 of my kids could not recognise if they were hot or cold , as they got older they began to recognise these issues , but they also could not recognise non verbal cues. With instruction and repeated reminders they did eventually become more independent, however my son who is 22 will often go all day without drinking.
I'm literally dressed as a fairy one day and the next day as a witch, on the third one I look homeless, must be DID 🤦🏼♀️
ABLAZE!! I almost wrecked my car when you said “FaJazzle”!!!!😂😂 5:00
Just because you can play different characters, doesn't mean you have DID. I wish someone would give these kids some actual medical information of how these disorders actually operate. Actually.
I mean I can understand bedazzling a cane or whatever as long as it’s not impairing it’s functionality. I’ve seen cool crane things to get pills which look fun. I can’t blame people who have to deal with/use these things everyday for wanting to make it more fun on even an aesthetic level with stickers or whatever. It can be sucky at times to have to rely on things so it can be a bit of a boost to make it less dull. I’d totally get one of those crane things if I didn’t rely on a box that I refill each week (boxes for day and night of each day of the week) so I don’t forget if I’ve taken my meds lol. If I had the option to, all of my pill bottles would be pastel colors so I can’t judge😂
An all fairness a lot of disabled people decorate their equipment, it's feel better and make it feel more theres
