What autistic people want you to know: The autism spectrum is not linear and doesn't go from severely autistic to a bit autistic. These terms are not accurate. Instead, it refers to a unique combination of traits. For example, I have high social difficulty and very intense special interests but relatively mild sensory issues. Another autistic person may have more intense sensory issues and strong need for routine but not really struggle with eye contact. (I have selected a few traits, both of us of course have many, many more traits). Neither of us is any more or less autistic than the other. Neither of us is "further on the spectrum" than the other. Sometimes it might be more obvious that someone is autistic because they have more of the stereotypical and externalised traits, but fewer of the internalised and less stereotypical traits, but this doesn't make them more autistic. Thank you for reading and I hope this helped you learn. Edit: Firstly, I'm amazed and so grateful that this comment reached so many people. Secondly, I wanted to point out that support needs, and levels 1-3 autism, do exist. However, just because a level 3 autistic person needs more support, it doesn't make them more autistic, because level 1 autistic people usually have more internalised struggles that cannot be outwardly supported. Also, support needs are not fixed and can/will change throughout a person's life.
Thank you for the explanation. I guess we put that definition by measuring how much all these traits combined affect the ability of the autistic person to function in the society without assistance. It's crude, but I guess this is what parents are most concerned about - that their child will be able to thrive in the society when they are gone. My nephew is autistic and at at the age of 7, he speaks like a 2-year-old. We pray that one day he would be able to express himself just as well as you did in your comment, but we know that, even if possible, it will require much work to achieve.
@@bunnysm That is good point about the combined effects of traits on "functioning" in society, although this in itself is an ambiguous term. Someone who has a full time job, a romantic partner and communicates so that they appear neurotypical might be considered high-functioning, whereas they might be in constantly high anxiety about masking their autistic traits so that their mental health is very poor and maybe they have meltdowns at home, which might feel like they are functioning pretty badly. I guess the term "high-functioning" is used to mean that the person's autism doesn't affect other people that much - but it affects themself greatly. I wish the best to your nephew and hope you are all well. ❤️ It may seem like I'm good at communicating in writing, but my verbal communication is a different story. 😂
I am an autistic adult female and I was diagnosed almost a year ago. As a child, I always knew I was different from other kids but I wasn’t sure why. It is hard to diagnose autism in females because of masking, and I do mask my symptoms especially when I’m in public. The signs that I had autism were lack of eye contact, sensitivity to sound, poor coordination, dislike of having my hair touched, obsession over certain topics, sensitivity to food textures, struggle to read facial expressions, struggle with tone of voice, speaking loudly without realizing it, hand flapping (I don’t flap my hands as much now but I did it a lot as a kid), pausing constantly when speaking, stuttering, and I also have social anxiety. I am also very uncomfortable around crowds of people and I hate public speaking.
My friend also has the😮 same as an adult female. But is massively successful has relationships, not socially limited. And says its all due to masking. But part of me wonders how that is different to anyone else whos had to learn to overcome their difficulties to fit into society. As an accomplished adult im wondering what difference it would make for her in terms of support? Did you get much more supoort that changed your life as an adult thats already learned to be in this world?
@@soraninja I have been to therapy which was helpful but the problem is it’s expensive. I use apps on my phone to help learn social cues and how to improve my communication skills and I also take medication for anxiety. (People with autism have an increased risk of developing anxiety and depression if you didn’t know that.)
So glad you got diagnosed. I'm in my 60s and would like to be diagnosed. For the simple reason; I am sick of people telling me how to act, think, and feel. I have spent my ENTIRE life trying to mirror people and act "normal". I've come to the realization that my brain doesn't work that way. To make things worse, I was raised in a dysfunctional family, and we're probably all on the spectrum. I know now that it's not just me who has to adjust. The people who don't understand me need to do some research and stop trying to change other people to suit their preferences. Unless someone is criminally unhinged and dangerous, let them be themselves. We deserve to feel comfortable and secure as much as anyone else. Live and let live❤
Stupidity call that autyzm, truth is you are High Inteligent and got supreme brain of High preastes (Goddess) This knowledge i hidden from public... Peace,Love,Light
I'm in sobbing tears. 47 year female. Not diagnosed yet. I know I am. My whole life I observe and try to fit it but never do. It's so draining and lonely
39 female. My best friend since childhood, her son is autistic and she was reading up on it. Then she realized we are both autistic and that’s why we connected and understood each other. I think she’s right, but I’m not diagnosed since it’s so expensive. Since I was a child people said I’m weird, too shy and quiet, I struggled making friends and with dating.
It's sad and, at the same time, a relief. I finally understand why so many things seem so complicated for me. I will never understand the world because my world, the world in my mind, is so different. ❤
The latest figures I have seen show that only about one third of diagnosed autistics have below average intellect, and around a third have above average intellect, resulting in the majority of autistics possessing no intellectual impairment. I am a diagnosed autistic and have a science PhD. This podcast dwells on the most negative aspects of autism.
Yep Einstein,Isaac newton Elon musk ,Tim burton , bill gates etc were all autistic. Having worked in healthcare for many years although maybe not diagnosed imo I’d say alot of surgeons are on the spectrum. I’ve been told on occasions of now mr whatshisface doesn’t like anyone too look him in the eye , he doesn’t like noise ,it has to be exactly in this order or that, he’ll scream at you if you don’t take 2 pillows (the new ones like this )to theatre with your patient 😂
I saw signs of autism in a friends baby 50 years ago. I passed on my knowledge to the childs mother. She was totally on denial and claimed if there was a problem the childs pediatrician should have spotted it. I said if the doctor spent only a few minutes with the child it was unlikely the doctor would spot it unless she brought up her concerns. Consequently nothing was done until child was school age and the mom refused to allow further tests. The child grew up and despite doing well in class subjects was unable to get hired for anything more than a supermarket checker. He was also unable to live independently due to social and financial reasons. I understand nowadays mandatory autism testing is done at three years of age which means children get extra help earlier. I hope with the consciousness of autism increasing that advances in treatment will continue.
In the US there is NO mandatory screening for autism. Usually the parents need to actively seek out a diagnosis. Unfortunately, most parents purposefully refuse to find out.-sad and frustrated teacher
Not mandatory in Australia. I'd be concerned with any country having mandatory testing, for what purpose? Accommodations are difficult to access for those already diagnosed. ABA is designed to force ND people into behaving like NTs, so that's not healthy either.
Big red flag my first friend I made was when I was in 3rd grade I had learning difficulties 😢 now that I know I have autism as an adult I always imagine my self hugging my younger self. I got trauma because I was different adults didn’t know how to be patient with me
I think if I have a friend who tells me of her diagnosis, I'll know how to be a better friend. It's confusing to those on the other side, if they are not aware. Sending u hugs❤❤
I feel that, I was always in trouble as a kid. They thought I was intentionally being disrespectful, unruly, and condescending. They didn't know I was autistic so I was constantly disciplined. That and my only friend all throughout elementary school was a kid on the spectrum too. We didn't socialize with anyone else but each other. But I'm glad autism is being understood better nowadays so future kids don't have to suffer like us.
Same here 😢 back in 1980s and 90s we were told that we were just lazy. That's all. My Mother had to put out a black board everyday in front of me with the letter A in it and ask me what that was. I could not see it. I also was being sent backwards in degree in the school, like if I made up to the 3 year? the teachers would decide I should go back to 2 one. This happened to me over and over until my brain finally opened up and I started actually learning, it just took more time, that's all.
same here , when i got diagnosed i cried because i finally felt like i belonged :') I knew i was different when i was younger just didn't understand why
You turn autistic when mums lower brain tells the baby to detach But the secret is that Mums lower brain does not tell Mums imaginary idea of self in the left PFC what its doing Do Mum's Amygdala signal stops the child is then forced to switch the cortex dominance years to early like at 3 When all happy non terrified mums, will switch the cortex dominance at age 7 that's why we are child like emotionally and and old soul intellectually Here is a poem about Autism left by Druids before the Roman Slavers wiped them all out "Mary had a little lamb its fleeces was white as snow(defines perfect birth) but everywhere that Mary went (emotionally) that lamb was due to go" So as the Druids would Echo, "your barking up the wrong tree"
As a child in the late 60’s, I was referred to a neurologist for spacing out in class in my early school years. I guess I was diagnosed as epileptic. No real follow up with an abusive, alcoholic mother. I often wonder now if it was actually a form of autism. Later in life I was diagnosed with BPD. But, I feel as though ASD fits better. I feel stuck in therapy, and have a very difficult time expressing how I feel. I also feel as though I’m stuck in some kind of freeze response.
ASD is not a linear spectrum, and depicting it as such just adds to the already daunting amount of harmful misconceptions and misunderstandings about ASD. It's more commonly depicted as a multi-axial spectrum often shown as a color wheel with common features of ASD around the circle, indicating the mix of different aspects of ASD that we have in varying degrees and that are often expressed in different ways. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and hoping that's an honest mistake rather than willful misinformation, but it's something you can find on the first page of a Google search about modern understanding of ASD, so its something you should've caught if you're doing research for a video like this. There's a few other errors in here, but you do include some more modern facts about ASD, such as acknowledging the under diagnosis in women due to adaption to the different social pressures/environments, so I'd like to give you props for that, but this the info/content in this video needs some work. If you'd like to get a contemporary understanding of ASD, I'd recommend watching videos from late diagnosed ASD and AuDHD individuals like "I'm Autistic, Now What?", Autism From The Inside, Autistic AF, Mom on the Spectrum, and others.
I had an oral exam once for Grammar, and I accidently got the entire thing right, the Teacher not believing in what I just did, asked me to do another round so I could get the max grade on that exam, I obviously failed because I got nervous about being singled out, every other kid was talking about me in whispers and I just froze up. The teacher gave me a B because of that, although I answered correctly. 😞 I never forgot about this, and I was just a kid. I am pointing this single incident out, because it is something that happens to me always, everyone else has a "normal" experience with things, but for some reason I have to do Extra things to earn the same results than others. I am constantly being singled out in groups because I am weird. 😕 and when I do something right, that cannot be true, how come I did something right? nope, I had to prove every time that I actually did something right. 😞
I experienced something similar in school, university, at parties- any social situation. I once painted something amazing, all on my own without help, the night before it was due for art class, the teacher didn't believe me and said my friend had painted it. This really affected my self confidence at the time. Now I believe she was a shitty human being and worse teacher.
I am studying, I was given plenty of labels as a kid, school was a real nightmare, I didn't fit in. Sensory overload and I preferred the school library at lunch over any crowds. Unfortunately my peers found me strange. I was told I am on the spectrum recently as an adult. I was told at first I had ADHD, like that's not frustrating enough.
I was diagnosed w/ it when I was 17. As a 27 year old who’s about to be 28 in January, I started having epiphanies & understood my own neurodivergence & complexities. I wrote it all in my journals, thanks to the help of Claude Ai lol
Love reading non autistic people's opinions on autism! Who knew I'f only my mum hugged me more I wouldn't obsessively fixate on curtains sitting perfect, feel like my brain was going to explode having a conversation with a stranger, turn into Houdini when my doorbell goes unexpected or fly into a fit of hulk rage when my kid turns the big light on!
Not long had my 4 year old son diagnosed as a level 3 autistic, due to his nonverbal state- only very few words; his behaviour around medical staff( very distressed normally) and other things like not pointing until just now. Hes usially a hand guider. Lots of work, but so very worth it
I was diagnosed with Autism 4yrs ago I was told it is genetic and is harder to detect in females.I was told some symptoms include no perception of danger of distance,talking to yourself talking out loud,finding it difficult to interact and communicate with others lacking in confidence and self esteem suffering more pain when ill or hurt or in females during their period,due to how the autistic brain sends signals to the pain receptors etc,we can also find it very difficult to do things like housework shopping or understanding when someone is serious or joking,we can also have issues with sounds,colours,and things we eat or touch (cloth,paper,cooked foods raw foods etc),we can be easily overwhelmed by sound and our surroundings and being around a lot of people.we can also be very focused even obsessed with things like topics hobbies movies and maybe even someone who is real or someone who is in a movie or game of in an asmr.
"Plays alone" 🤣🤣🤣 I WISH!!! Autistic girls are soooo different. My daughter is incapable of playing alone. Even as a toddler she would NOT touch toys unless I touched them first. I've worked in church nursery before, I had NEVER seen anything like that until my own child. She requires interaction and stimulation BUT rides that fine line before overwhelm sets in and she falls apart. An extroverted Autistic girl is a whole different ballgame and very difficult.
It depends on the person. I'm an autistic woman & even as an adult, I cannot participate in acting, playing, or roleplay of any kind because I become distressed when people behave differently than expected.
@@thaddeuszukowski4633 Yes, she is diagnosed AuDHD. And there needs to be better public education on this. Especially to doctors who treat mothers like they're bad mothers instead of recognizing their child is different. Dagnosis and education makes ALL the difference in navigating that different terrain through life.
And more neutral and scientific. Disorder fails to recognize positives, trade-offs and qualitative differences. Deficit fails to recognize issues can also come from excess instead of deficit, or from a bad fit between individual characteristics and demands from the environment.
I have never had myself or my children assessed, but we have sensory overload easily, sound, light and touch. My kids havw some medical issues too. School is so hard for them😢
My son and I are both diagnosed ASD and ADHD (he is ADHD-combined type and I am ADHD-innatentive type). We butt heads just as well as we get along lol. He's affected mostly by communication barriers/sensory overload, and Im affected mostly by sensory overload/hyperfixation.
The innatention makes being a parent really hard Once I’m done for the day it really hard to continue giving the kids more, I’m very grateful my wife makes space for me
@jolanderphilip it is hard. Sometimes, we inattentive types need a good dose of silence, and that can be difficult with children. I, for one, really enjoy the time I get when I don't need to speak, don't need to entertain, and don't need to worry about the day to day tasks. Those days are very very few lol
@@Chelsey-CelloI completely understand. I am a single full time working mother. My kiddos are in activities and I get a lot of help with their fathers. My job is extremely stressful some days. I need a quiet silent dark room. Noise is a killer.
I believe once humanity understands the human evolutionary process, sometimes called the Kundalini awakening process, these conditions will no longer be seen as a disorder, but as a phase of one's evolution.
It is the neurological adaptation for neglect. Mostly phychological-emotional but also biological, as malnutrition medical neglect/abuse and lack of physical comfort does a lot of harm.
@@anthonyrowland9072 it's literally my fucking life experience. Neurotypicals are insensitive monsters compared to "us" They are the perfect neurotype for the modern world as they are perfect deluding machines. Functionally closer to psycopaths. (Psycopaths just don't care). While other neurotypes are doomed to suffer from constant gaslighting. As the personality for NT's that gives higher fitness it's narcissistic. Just like CPTSD causes neurodivergence. Autism spectrum stereotypical behaviour is just trauma in very sensitive individuals. I wasn't diagnosed until 18 after extreme trauma, abuse and neglect destroyed me. And thus stopped functioning and developed stereotypical behaviours. I guarantee you that many behaviours are just trauma responses. NT's just don't have enough empathy and brain power to understand. They are born brain-deaf and blind they can lose their senses but delude themselves thinking they are fine. Why do you think most popular music is fucking disgusting right now? Its lyric and tempo focused. They are fucking deaf.
This video is an example of a neurotypical approach to neurodivergent science. Respectful, reflects the research done primarily by neurotypical people, and as a result, is largely invalid. The medical model of autism, from its foundation, is rooted in the concern of identifying and correcting childhood behavioral differences. To draw a comparison, an American of fair skin and European descent could earn a doctorate in African American studies, but what if nearly all of African American history were written by fair skinned descendants from Europe? Would it be accurate to say they "know" the African American experience?
Imagine a newborn with sensory issues that feels a hug as if it was being stabbed by thousands of needles. Yet, somehow, no one thinks this is important how the child develops.
@@HarryPotter-kb7we Yes. Tho, that's an extreme example that, hopefully, people would recognize that they need to seek assistance with. My heart goes out to all the babies, toddlers, kids, and adults with milder presentations but are still suffering greatly. They don't get the help, support or understanding that they desperately need because others don't recognize or understand what is really going on.
@@ObjectiveObserver00 My parents, even as I was a toddler, made fun of me for feeling pain and distress due to things most people experience as inoffensive. This is traumatizing and impacts negatively on development, yet we only hear talk about genetic "causes" of autism.
I disagree with dismissing the concerns associated with the vaccines as number of vaccines recommended by the CDC have increased 5x. As a general best practice I think vaccines should be spaced out and given one at a time so that you can lessen any adverse effects. Fever is a common side effect and a normal response of the body to vaccines but when you dose the body, especially that an infant, the body can turn against itself and cause brain damage from the fever or have a seizure, petit grand mal, which a parent wouldn’t even recognize because there is no shaking, the child is completely still. I believe never evidence is coming forth that this could account for at least a few SIDs cases. Anyways, I don’t think that the right studies are being conducted because they are funded by for profit entities.
There is an overwhelming amount of research into this topic ever since the controversial bogus study. No link has been found between vaccines and autism. And even if there was, I'd rather be autistic than get polio.
@@LilChuunosuke Funded by big pharma. If after Covid folks are still believing the safe and effective lies then continue to live listening to big daddy Fauci. Sponsored by Pfizer. 😂
My father was a polio survivor and led a very full productive life. My grandson is autistic and will never be independent. Just saying. Everyone is the same human being but everyone is a different human being. Be kind whatever side you are on regarding vaccines@@LilChuunosuke
a poem about autism "rock a by baby on the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock, but when the BOUGH breaks the cradle will fall and down to Earth come tumbling baby and all" We worked it all out hundreds of thousands of years ago But those Roman Slavers Eh ! wiped all our knowledge out So we have to hide it in plain sight, get it ?
Does this video only apply to those in the UK or is this a global thing? My teen think they have asd but i do not. But again we are females ans have just been pushing through life on a day ro day basis.
It may be like this - have you ever been with a group and you feel like everyone has the script to this conversation except you? But you just nod along and laugh along as if you get it?
As an ADHD mom with autistic+ gifted ADHD child, I would say moms to restrict their folate/ folic acid dosing during pregnancy. Stay to the correct dose, skip a few days, sticik to the right duration. Watch out for folate overdosing from health supplements. Adjust folate intake to 'just adequate'. According to me, the blanket supplementation of folate is a crime, especially higher dosing. My second child is 'normal',I hadrestricted folic acid dosing to just adequate during pregnancy with some skippings, also included real leafy greens in food.
@@serahloeffelroberts9901 that i also know. But you cant generalize diet as well as dose. If the adhd genetics is predisposed to quirky brain, it would be better to limit the cumulative dose to just adequate, not avoiding it, and supplementation to first trimester. There is a peer reviewed scientific paper linking it to high functional autism
I have never heard that, I thought one should not speak any baby brabble to a baby and toddler. So what is this adult like talk? Also intelligent kids will use high vocabulary and have extensive vocabulary. 😮
I wonder if there is anyone in the world, perfect . I don’t think that Autism is a thing. I believe that each person has their unique personality and they are capable of different experiences and different ways to deal with them. We are not created by standards. One is able to love more, an other never loves in their entire life, one lies,an other hates lies, etc. Why should we be all think and behave by the standards? Love yourself and others and forget about being “ politically correct “, or in our case, just CORRECT BY THE STANDARDS.
And you're right. Diagnostic Manuals like DSM5 are unscientific, political and pragmatic. Read about transdiagnostic perspective on neurodevelopment and it'll make a lot more sense.
The study about the advanced age of father seems to be from lousy, lazy research. Many things in this video are out if date. Go ask a knowledgable autistic person who does research.
Everything is not Autism. 🙄 Not looking into someones eye could be because you don't respect them, they aren't people you would normally talk to or because they are ugly. Why would you look in the eyes of a man if he's ugly or not your partner? Not needing anybody to play with is being self sufficient. I don't like noise or rowdiness around me either. So just because I don't want to take part in a circus doesn't mean I have Autism. It's very rare that I like someone I would interact with as a friend. So why would I pretend and lie trying to keep up appearances by being friendly with everyone? This world is 75% Demons. I'm not going to waste my time pretending, that takes a lot of energy to do that and I don't have any.
Its way more complicated than that, I can turn any child I want Autistic and I can turn any autistic person normal for a while Its one part of the brain that determines if you are autistic But you are correct without the correct medication a Autistic Mum will turn her children autistic as well Buts not encoded in the womb it all happens after birth
Neural Pruning is a rapid change in brain plasticity (naturally occurring) in humans around the 20 month old mark. The brain ‘prunes,’ or kills off neural pathways that it deems non-beneficial, and reinforces pathways it deems helpful. In children with autism, it has long been observed that they often mentally develop at the same rate as their peers up until the 20 month old mark, then demonstrate a regression in skills, behaviours and levels of logic that have already been mastered. Some scientists don’t think that the timing of this phenomena in children with autism occurring alongside neural pruning is a coincidence. Some hypothesise that the regression is a result off an impairment in the part of the brain that orchestrates neural pruning.
Playing alone doesn't make one autistic that has more to do with the kids around them an choice of the child some kids. Dont want to. And dont have to be social tell wish to.
it SUCKS that getting an official diagnosis cost THOUSANDS of dollars (at least in America)… you miss out on so many resources that could help you in life…. speaking from personal experience… 😓😓
Letting the DSM and Psychology be the authority on defining what ASD is, is a crime against humanity. This video COMPLETELY leaves out what has been found regarding brain development, as does 99.9% of all other ASD videos. "Explained clearly" my ass. If you understand how your brain is different, literally not psychologically, as someone with ASD, the world opens up for you. I've only EVER heard Professor Simon Boren-Cohen talk about it, and only once. They really don't want you to know or understand that part.
Judging by your grammar.... you are definitely special needs. It is s DISORDER. Like it or not, you have a disorder. It means your brain wasn't formed right and doesn't work like normal brains.
Guess What I had No Autisms I will Grew up Then i will Not going to see my mom And My Dad And My brother Any More. Then I will Get An Apartment Building in New York City. Full of Girls Then I Will Get A Car And Some Money And A Credit Card And Debit Cards. And A Apple Card And A Wallet And A Costco Card And Everything Else.
Everbody has it now along with narcissism, bipolar disorder and ADHD but according to my family, all you need is good ol prayer & religion to fix it😃...the 🌎 is f'd😓
Stop trolling actually autistic people. What a shit allistic ableist thing to do. It takes courage to look under the hood of oneself and take responsibility for the system one is given/ends up with after coping with abuse or neglect in what is a very very sick society. If you are actually religious then you would subscribe to judge not so clearly you are bullshitting around not serious to learn and care about others since you aren’t in this space to learn and grow which is what it is here for. The Church has murdered and abused more humans than any organization known to man. It’s nothing to brag about ffs.
Referring to psychological conditions you were trolling re life experiences vs tthe at birth neuro condition of autism which you also were trolling. Was “everyone” suddenly left handed when they stoped forcing children to be right handed? No. They were left handed all along. I think we are more than 20% of the population just still a lot of research and better diagnostics to go. My fail to waste time saying anything to this rude ignoramus but I felt called to call it out. I subscribe to the Church of the latter day dude. Dance. Grow stuff. Try not to be a dick. Maybe you would like to covert? You seem ripe for it.

It is hard to diagnose autism in females because of masking, and I do mask my symptoms especially when I’m in public.

My friend also has the😮 same as an adult female. But is massively successful has relationships, not socially limited. And says its all due to masking. But part of me wonders how that is different to anyone else whos had to learn to overcome their difficulties to fit into society. As an accomplished adult im wondering what difference it would make for her in terms of support? Did you get much more supoort that changed your life as an adult thats already learned to be in this world?

I use apps on my phone to help learn social cues and how to improve my communication skills and I also take medication for anxiety. (People with autism have an increased risk of developing anxiety and depression if you didn’t know that.)
So glad you got diagnosed. I'm in my 60s and would like to be diagnosed. For the simple reason; I am sick of people telling me how to act, think, and feel. I have spent my ENTIRE life trying to mirror people and act "normal". I've come to the realization that my brain doesn't work that way. To make things worse, I was raised in a dysfunctional family, and we're probably all on the spectrum.
I know now that it's not just me who has to adjust. The people who don't understand me need to do some research and stop trying to change other people to suit their preferences. Unless someone is criminally unhinged and dangerous, let them be themselves. We deserve to feel comfortable and secure as much as anyone else.
Live and let live❤
Stupidity call that autyzm, truth is you are High Inteligent and got supreme brain of High preastes (Goddess) This knowledge i hidden from public... Peace,Love,Light
I'm in sobbing tears.
47 year female. Not diagnosed yet.
I know I am.
My whole life I observe and try to fit it but never do. It's so draining and lonely
39 female. My best friend since childhood, her son is autistic and she was reading up on it. Then she realized we are both autistic and that’s why we connected and understood each other. I think she’s right, but I’m not diagnosed since it’s so expensive. Since I was a child people said I’m weird, too shy and quiet, I struggled making friends and with dating.
Its not too late to get an official diagnosis and treatment
It's sad and, at the same time, a relief. I finally understand why so many things seem so complicated for me. I will never understand the world because my world, the world in my mind, is so different. ❤
I thought I was but guess I just prefer to be alone
45 and yes, same
The latest figures I have seen show that only about one third of diagnosed autistics have below average intellect, and around a third have above average intellect, resulting in the majority of autistics possessing no intellectual impairment. I am a diagnosed autistic and have a science PhD. This podcast dwells on the most negative aspects of autism.
Fr, I'm not dumb, far from it. I just have executive functioning issues
Now we’re autistic people are definitely are gifted but let’s let them think we’re slow. Who doesn’t love the element of surprise
Indeed. I was recently diagnosed with ASD and I am in medical school and have a classmate that is also autistic.
Yep Einstein,Isaac newton Elon musk ,Tim burton , bill gates etc were all autistic. Having worked in healthcare for many years although maybe not diagnosed imo I’d say alot of surgeons are on the spectrum. I’ve been told on occasions of now mr whatshisface doesn’t like anyone too look him in the eye , he doesn’t like noise ,it has to be exactly in this order or that, he’ll scream at you if you don’t take 2 pillows (the new ones like this )to theatre with your patient 😂

I was always the smartest in the class, but I had social difficulies, As a girl, I was overlooked for sure.
I too was a high performer in class and people always attributed me to be some know-it-all, smart ass 😭💔
I saw signs of autism in a friends baby 50 years ago. I passed on my knowledge to the childs mother. She was totally on denial and claimed if there was a problem the childs pediatrician should have spotted it. I said if the doctor spent only a few minutes with the child it was unlikely the doctor would spot it unless she brought up her concerns. Consequently nothing was done until child was school age and the mom refused to allow further tests. The child grew up and despite doing well in class subjects was unable to get hired for anything more than a supermarket checker. He was also unable to live independently due to social and financial reasons.
I understand nowadays mandatory autism testing is done at three years of age which means children get extra help earlier. I hope with the consciousness of autism increasing that advances in treatment will continue.
In the US there is NO mandatory screening for autism. Usually the parents need to actively seek out a diagnosis. Unfortunately, most parents purposefully refuse to find out.-sad and frustrated teacher
Where is there mandatory testing? Definitely not in Canada..
My son is autistic and it isn't mandatory. The parents have to pursue it.
In the state of Illinois there is autism screening when the child is three years old. There is also testing in the schools if concerns arise.
Not mandatory in Australia. I'd be concerned with any country having mandatory testing, for what purpose? Accommodations are difficult to access for those already diagnosed. ABA is designed to force ND people into behaving like NTs, so that's not healthy either.
Big red flag my first friend I made was when I was in 3rd grade I had learning difficulties 😢 now that I know I have autism as an adult I always imagine my self hugging my younger self. I got trauma because I was different adults didn’t know how to be patient with me
I think if I have a friend who tells me of her diagnosis, I'll know how to be a better friend.
It's confusing to those on the other side, if they are not aware.
Sending u hugs❤❤
Sending hugs. I'm so glad you're able to hug that younger you. 🫂
I feel that, I was always in trouble as a kid. They thought I was intentionally being disrespectful, unruly, and condescending. They didn't know I was autistic so I was constantly disciplined. That and my only friend all throughout elementary school was a kid on the spectrum too. We didn't socialize with anyone else but each other. But I'm glad autism is being understood better nowadays so future kids don't have to suffer like us.
Same here 😢 back in 1980s and 90s we were told that we were just lazy. That's all. My Mother had to put out a black board everyday in front of me with the letter A in it and ask me what that was. I could not see it. I also was being sent backwards in degree in the school, like if I made up to the 3 year? the teachers would decide I should go back to 2 one. This happened to me over and over until my brain finally opened up and I started actually learning, it just took more time, that's all.
same here , when i got diagnosed i cried because i finally felt like i belonged :') I knew i was different when i was younger just didn't understand why
Genetic influence is underestimated in this, imo. It assumes that autism was just as well recognized 20 or 30+ years ago.
You turn autistic when mums lower brain tells the baby to detach
But the secret is that Mums lower brain does not tell Mums imaginary idea of self in the left PFC what its doing
Do Mum's Amygdala signal stops the child is then forced to switch the cortex dominance years to early like at 3
When all happy non terrified mums, will switch the cortex dominance at age 7
that's why we are child like emotionally and and old soul intellectually
Here is a poem about Autism left by Druids before the Roman Slavers wiped them all out
"Mary had a little lamb its fleeces was white as snow(defines perfect birth) but everywhere that Mary went (emotionally) that lamb was due to go"
So as the Druids would Echo, "your barking up the wrong tree"

When you reach adult life it's like death by a thousand cuts
Doctors are bad people.
No, it’s not! A lot of us adults with autism have jobs, live on our own, and have social lives.
As a child in the late 60’s, I was referred to a neurologist for spacing out in class in my early school years. I guess I was diagnosed as epileptic. No real follow up with an abusive, alcoholic mother. I often wonder now if it was actually a form of autism. Later in life I was diagnosed with BPD. But, I feel as though ASD fits better. I feel stuck in therapy, and have a very difficult time expressing how I feel. I also feel as though I’m stuck in some kind of freeze response.
ASD is not a linear spectrum, and depicting it as such just adds to the already daunting amount of harmful misconceptions and misunderstandings about ASD. It's more commonly depicted as a multi-axial spectrum often shown as a color wheel with common features of ASD around the circle, indicating the mix of different aspects of ASD that we have in varying degrees and that are often expressed in different ways. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and hoping that's an honest mistake rather than willful misinformation, but it's something you can find on the first page of a Google search about modern understanding of ASD, so its something you should've caught if you're doing research for a video like this. There's a few other errors in here, but you do include some more modern facts about ASD, such as acknowledging the under diagnosis in women due to adaption to the different social pressures/environments, so I'd like to give you props for that, but this the info/content in this video needs some work.
If you'd like to get a contemporary understanding of ASD, I'd recommend watching videos from late diagnosed ASD and AuDHD individuals like "I'm Autistic, Now What?", Autism From The Inside, Autistic AF, Mom on the Spectrum, and others.
Thank you so much for your explanation of what the spectrum indicates. It is misunderstood by so many, even professionals in the mental health fields.
I had an oral exam once for Grammar, and I accidently got the entire thing right, the Teacher not believing in what I just did, asked me to do another round so I could get the max grade on that exam, I obviously failed because I got nervous about being singled out, every other kid was talking about me in whispers and I just froze up. The teacher gave me a B because of that, although I answered correctly. 😞 I never forgot about this, and I was just a kid.
I am pointing this single incident out, because it is something that happens to me always, everyone else has a "normal" experience with things, but for some reason I have to do Extra things to earn the same results than others. I am constantly being singled out in groups because I am weird. 😕 and when I do something right, that cannot be true, how come I did something right? nope, I had to prove every time that I actually did something right. 😞
You’re just way smarter than the average, and they can’t believe it because they aren’t on your level!
@@SchoolHouseRudd I don't know :p
I experienced something similar in school, university, at parties- any social situation. I once painted something amazing, all on my own without help, the night before it was due for art class, the teacher didn't believe me and said my friend had painted it. This really affected my self confidence at the time. Now I believe she was a shitty human being and worse teacher.
I am studying, I was given plenty of labels as a kid, school was a real nightmare, I didn't fit in. Sensory overload and I preferred the school library at lunch over any crowds. Unfortunately my peers found me strange. I was told I am on the spectrum recently as an adult. I was told at first I had ADHD, like that's not frustrating enough.
I was diagnosed w/ it when I was 17. As a 27 year old who’s about to be 28 in January, I started having epiphanies & understood my own neurodivergence & complexities. I wrote it all in my journals, thanks to the help of Claude Ai lol
Love reading non autistic people's opinions on autism! Who knew I'f only my mum hugged me more I wouldn't obsessively fixate on curtains sitting perfect, feel like my brain was going to explode having a conversation with a stranger, turn into Houdini when my doorbell goes unexpected or fly into a fit of hulk rage when my kid turns the big light on!
Not long had my 4 year old son diagnosed as a level 3 autistic, due to his nonverbal state- only very few words; his behaviour around medical staff( very distressed normally) and other things like not pointing until just now. Hes usially a hand guider. Lots of work, but so very worth it
I was diagnosed with Autism 4yrs ago I was told it is genetic and is harder to detect in females.I was told some symptoms include no perception of danger of distance,talking to yourself talking out loud,finding it difficult to interact and communicate with others lacking in confidence and self esteem suffering more pain when ill or hurt or in females during their period,due to how the autistic brain sends signals to the pain receptors etc,we can also find it very difficult to do things like housework shopping or understanding when someone is serious or joking,we can also have issues with sounds,colours,and things we eat or touch (cloth,paper,cooked foods raw foods etc),we can be easily overwhelmed by sound and our surroundings and being around a lot of people.we can also be very focused even obsessed with things like topics hobbies movies and maybe even someone who is real or someone who is in a movie or game of in an asmr.
"Plays alone" 🤣🤣🤣 I WISH!!! Autistic girls are soooo different. My daughter is incapable of playing alone. Even as a toddler she would NOT touch toys unless I touched them first. I've worked in church nursery before, I had NEVER seen anything like that until my own child. She requires interaction and stimulation BUT rides that fine line before overwhelm sets in and she falls apart. An extroverted Autistic girl is a whole different ballgame and very difficult.
It depends on the person. I'm an autistic woman & even as an adult, I cannot participate in acting, playing, or roleplay of any kind because I become distressed when people behave differently than expected.
She may be a dule diagnosis person with ADHD. As this is only just now being accepted as possible, information is somewhat limited.
@@thaddeuszukowski4633 Yes, she is diagnosed AuDHD. And there needs to be better public education on this. Especially to doctors who treat mothers like they're bad mothers instead of recognizing their child is different. Dagnosis and education makes ALL the difference in navigating that different terrain through life.
They got the wrong info. I just didn't like certain people for stabbing my back.
Different is a word i like to use. Seems more friendly and less complicated.
And more neutral and scientific. Disorder fails to recognize positives, trade-offs and qualitative differences. Deficit fails to recognize issues can also come from excess instead of deficit, or from a bad fit between individual characteristics and demands from the environment.
I have never had myself or my children assessed, but we have sensory overload easily, sound, light and touch. My kids havw some medical issues too. School is so hard for them😢
I have personally found diet to have a positive effect
My son and I are both diagnosed ASD and ADHD (he is ADHD-combined type and I am ADHD-innatentive type). We butt heads just as well as we get along lol. He's affected mostly by communication barriers/sensory overload, and Im affected mostly by sensory overload/hyperfixation.
The innatention makes being a parent really hard
Once I’m done for the day it really hard to continue giving the kids more, I’m very grateful my wife makes space for me
@jolanderphilip it is hard. Sometimes, we inattentive types need a good dose of silence, and that can be difficult with children. I, for one, really enjoy the time I get when I don't need to speak, don't need to entertain, and don't need to worry about the day to day tasks. Those days are very very few lol
@@Chelsey-CelloI completely understand. I am a single full time working mother. My kiddos are in activities and I get a lot of help with their fathers. My job is extremely stressful some days. I need a quiet silent dark room. Noise is a killer.
I got refused a diagnosis only by what they read in a paper.
Medical professionals can be so snooty a lot of the time.
I believe once humanity understands the human evolutionary process, sometimes called the Kundalini awakening process, these conditions will no longer be seen as a disorder, but as a phase of one's evolution.

Compare autism symptoms and comorbidity with those of childhood neglect. Almost 1 to 1 with failure to thrive.
It is the neurological adaptation for neglect. Mostly phychological-emotional but also biological, as malnutrition medical neglect/abuse and lack of physical comfort does a lot of harm.

Neurotypicals are insensitive monsters compared to "us"
They are the perfect neurotype for the modern world as they are perfect deluding machines. Functionally closer to psycopaths. (Psycopaths just don't care).
While other neurotypes are doomed to suffer from constant gaslighting.
As the personality for NT's that gives higher fitness it's narcissistic.
Just like CPTSD causes neurodivergence.
Autism spectrum stereotypical behaviour is just trauma in very sensitive individuals.
I wasn't diagnosed until 18 after extreme trauma, abuse and neglect destroyed me. And thus stopped functioning and developed stereotypical behaviours.
I guarantee you that many behaviours are just trauma responses. NT's just don't have enough empathy and brain power to understand. They are born brain-deaf and blind they can lose their senses but delude themselves thinking they are fine.

Talking also doesn't imply that not all kids. Want to talk. An in way things are to day cant blame a child to be silent or reclusive.
I have autism. Only one of my children show no signs of autism at all.
This video is an example of a neurotypical approach to neurodivergent science.
Respectful, reflects the research done primarily by neurotypical people, and as a result, is largely invalid.
The medical model of autism, from its foundation, is rooted in the concern of identifying and correcting childhood behavioral differences.
To draw a comparison, an American of fair skin and European descent could earn a doctorate in African American studies, but what if nearly all of African American history were written by fair skinned descendants from Europe? Would it be accurate to say they "know" the African American experience?
Adult ends are based on how other adults treat each other

I disagree with dismissing the concerns associated with the vaccines as number of vaccines recommended by the CDC have increased 5x.
As a general best practice I think vaccines should be spaced out and given one at a time so that you can lessen any adverse effects. Fever is a common side effect and a normal response of the body to vaccines but when you dose the body, especially that an infant, the body can turn against itself and cause brain damage from the fever or have a seizure, petit grand mal, which a parent wouldn’t even recognize because there is no shaking, the child is completely still.
I believe never evidence is coming forth that this could account for at least a few SIDs cases.
Anyways, I don’t think that the right studies are being conducted because they are funded by for profit entities.
There is an overwhelming amount of research into this topic ever since the controversial bogus study. No link has been found between vaccines and autism.
And even if there was, I'd rather be autistic than get polio.

As an ADHD mom with autistic+ gifted ADHD child, I would say moms to restrict their folate/ folic acid dosing during pregnancy. Stay to the correct dose, skip a few days, sticik to the right duration. Watch out for folate overdosing from health supplements. Adjust folate intake to 'just adequate'. According to me, the blanket supplementation of folate is a crime, especially higher dosing. My second child is 'normal',I hadrestricted folic acid dosing to just adequate during pregnancy with some skippings, also included real leafy greens in food.

I wonder if there is anyone in the world, perfect . I don’t think that Autism is a thing. I believe that each person has their unique personality and they are capable of different experiences and different ways to deal with them. We are not created by standards. One is able to love more, an other never loves in their entire life, one lies,an other hates lies, etc. Why should we be all think and behave by the standards? Love yourself and others and forget about being “ politically correct “, or in our case, just CORRECT BY THE STANDARDS.
And you're right. Diagnostic Manuals like DSM5 are unscientific, political and pragmatic. Read about transdiagnostic perspective on neurodevelopment and it'll make a lot more sense.

Neural Pruning is a rapid change in brain plasticity (naturally occurring) in humans around the 20 month old mark. The brain ‘prunes,’ or kills off neural pathways that it deems non-beneficial, and reinforces pathways it deems helpful. In children with autism, it has long been observed that they often mentally develop at the same rate as their peers up until the 20 month old mark, then demonstrate a regression in skills, behaviours and levels of logic that have already been mastered. Some scientists don’t think that the timing of this phenomena in children with autism occurring alongside neural pruning is a coincidence. Some hypothesise that the regression is a result off an impairment in the part of the brain that orchestrates neural pruning.

Letting the DSM and Psychology be the authority on defining what ASD is, is a crime against humanity. This video COMPLETELY leaves out what has been found regarding brain development, as does 99.9% of all other ASD videos. "Explained clearly" my ass. If you understand how your brain is different, literally not psychologically, as someone with ASD, the world opens up for you. I've only EVER heard Professor Simon Boren-Cohen talk about it, and only once. They really don't want you to know or understand that part.

DONT call it a disorder! I’m NOT disorded!! I just autistic!
Judging by your grammar.... you are definitely special needs.
It is s DISORDER. Like it or not, you have a disorder. It means your brain wasn't formed right and doesn't work like normal brains.
Why do i think autism is interesting?....
Because you’re autistic
Because it's complex, and we're lied to about it constantly.
Because it is never as simple as many people present it.
I did not know what autism fully was because every I saw who had it was on the short bus.
“She barely interacts with her own family,” you don’t say!
Communication overstimulates
We now say Autism Spectrum and not DISORDER. Difference, not deficit. We are different, not less.
