I have adhd and have come to accept that I will be different but that is a good thing.
Why would I want to fit in? Social media, clothing trends, going to places. No thanks!
I am me I know what I love and enjoy and also I have learnt to enjoy my own company.
Yes it’s hard I have clinical depression, anxiety and have self harmed. I have also drank too much in the past.
However I am living proof that we can fit in have our place and we can also be a good force.
I’m not saying it’s easy and we need to help each other!
You got this! You know you do! X
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, recently also added an Autism diagnosis. I find a lot of videos on Autism that make me question my diagnosis because I feel like I’m not “classically autistic” (even in the sense of low support needs), but then I watch your videos where you have so much overlap between the ADHD and Autism and every single point you make is always spot on for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping people like me feel more heard and valid.
I make videos because just like you I struggle to relate to other peoples experiences so I wanted to share mine to bring together people like us! ❤️❤️
I can relate to alot of what you said. Often I will work up the nerve to approach a group of people based on what they're talking about and as much as I want to introduce myself. I just find myself standing there silent to a point I get odd looks and I walk away with the thought I just wasn't worthy of engaging with them. Or I begin to talk unsure if it's my turn and over share. I can't do surface talk. I need conversations that require deep and creative thinking.
Of course I'm working on these areas of life.
Oh, before I forget I really like your videos.
Darling, you're a diamond in the rough; Before having watched your vid , I felt blue (backache, my routine was changed overnight ) in a nutshell I'd a meltdown , you made me smile and feel I'm not in the world who's struggling,( I have felt the same ) XOXO
I’m so happy I’ve been able to make you smile!❤️
being overly attached caused me to be involved in issues with one female friend, one is that because I made a mistake because I told her she looked cute with a red blouse she used to wear and then she decided to stop talking to me, I guess she realized that maybe I was developing stronger feelings towards her and that has caused me a severe depression, I was too attached to her
I have autism myself and i have some of the characteristics like poor eye contact, not reading body language, fear of rejection
I’m sorry that the quality of this video isn’t great.. I’m not sure why.. It’s uploaded very bright😵💫
It looks okay! :D
Thankyou for the reassurance ❤️
Me and eye contact " ok, theres there eyes. Wow, I Dont like doing That. Ok, gotta seem like im listening and caring while I try to repositon my gaze. - then its either - ok, whew, my turn to talk. I can toss my eyes wherever I want now OR ok, theyre still talking, When will this End so i can Stop with their eyes Now?!"
This is why I LOVE a side by side chat. Sit next to me and let my look at the picture next to your head or the couch over there or out the window over there. NO directly facing conversation. Ill chat but Less facing the Better!
Hi there I'm also on the spectrum and also have such a hard time with keeping and making friends. Thank you so much for making this content I also have a ASD channel and any constructive criticism would be great!!
5/5 yay!
Thank you, this was helpful, I have a really hard time separating all the social challenges I experience. It's usually just a messy ball of anxiety, I can understand it wasn't easy to split it in 5
Brilliant video babes xxx
I know this was 11 months ago and you didn't ask yet (I'm only halfway through), but what's helped me get used to "normal" eyecontact is practicing it while watching videos like yours! At first, I had to practice REALLY hard and it took YEARS, but I was finally able to somewhat master it!
Anyone Else HORRID at body language but SUPER in tune to sudden emotions - like, the first person to notice a crying child or when some has fallen in the far corner?
Is that pattern recognition?
I feel myself Constantly scanning the room for "base level" (think Shawn in Psych) and can instantly tell when someone has suddenly changed or left.
Finally someone I can relate to with my struggles.
🥰
1. I just see posture, face expressions etc and if it is not simple as smile, i just dont know what is somebody doing 2. isnt it just that friend becomes you special interest and that can be too much for neurotypical friend especially ?
I'll be a guest on your show if you want, I also have ADHD and autism and its bullshit lol
