I have a hard time with waiting and waiting to eat or drink water, til it's too late and my brain stops working, I get really cranky, don't know what I need to do, or even blacking out. I'll be like, "What's wrong with me? I don't understand," and my boyfriend will always say, "When's the last time you ate?" to which I reply, "Uhh... yesterday?" 🤦♀️
I’m 25 years old and was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD last month. And I agree about the emotional roller coaster; it was a strange realization, suddenly knowing the reason I reacted to things more strongly. I wasn’t just more sensitive, I’ve been experiencing my emotions at a higher volume the entire time.
I’m wondering if I’m also autistic because I related to that too. It feels like two sides of you constantly battling yourself. I’m glad she actually differentiated and compared how it is to have both and how they interact.
Lol I just read a manga about a character that’s like this, which Is also what I relate to *Shameless recommendation ensues* It’s called “Shounen Note” and it’s about singing. I recommend everyone to check it out, because it really is a cool manga, and I *suspect* the main character to be Autistic (a personal lil head canon lol, I have no idea if other people think this too)
I'm Autistic, have ADHD, Tourrettes Syndrome and mental health issues. I love your videos, although I have denied it at first. Also, I'm first commenter.
I was first diagnosed with ADHD when I was 8. I had struggles concentrating in school an I even went to therapy for it. But it was clear that I was in the wrong place. Under the right conditions I can concentrate extremely well, when it is silent and I can work on my own on something that I am interested in. I also don’t have any other ADHD criteria. Only last year I received my right diagnosis: ASD 🙃
omg yesss, i had my autistic diagnosis and always thought i had adhd as well but haven’t gotten test for it. PSA: just a tip,use the word criteria it mainly means the same as symptoms but criteria means in conditions not illness.
wow im so scared this is me...i was diagnosed with adhd at 18 and now im 24 and i sometimes wonder if its something else (although i do present a lot of adhd symptoms)
@@caligal1090 don’t be scared. A different diagnosis won’t change the things you are struggling with, it will only help you communicate it better and find more appropriate help🍁
Mrs Kay I feel it☺️🌝 It’s like your whole life you have been wondering, why there is always so much „wrong with you“. Not one diagnosis, not one tough time, but dozens. With an autism diagnosis it becomes so much more clear, the underlying conditions and deficits. It is also a chance for therapy of the comorbidities like depression and anxiety. So go girl🙌🏻 get that diagnosis!
Love that fight between needing routine and structure and being unable to plan and being impulsive. I'm only just realising in my 30s more much my ADHD and Asperger's have affected me my whole life
You are speaking in super sonic speed. But there is the 3 dotes in the corner why you can do playback speed 0.75. If anyone having problems registering the speed.
Lists on paper, index cards, and calendars are all great suggestions that people can use however, I agree there are drawbacks to them like forgetting to keep track of such things countering the ability to cope with the executive struggles in the first place! I personally believe writing lists down on a smart phone to be the best way and completely agree that setting reminders is an almost fail proof method!
It is a rollercoaster of emotions in here! I'm self diagnosed, first with autism and then more recently realized adhd too most likely. This resonates hard core.🙏
Yours and paige layle's tiktoks lead me to get tested after wondering for a while and I finally got diagnosed this week with ASD and a confirmation of my adhd combined
Executive functioning: I have frozen groceries in my car, but stopping for "just a few minutes" at a park on the way home to play Pokemon Go is no big deal to me. And when I realize I've been there for over an hour, I have to finish that before I can consider it's time to leave. Leaving and coming back is NOT an option. Ice cream re-freezes back into its shape, it's fiiiiine. It's basically its own ice pack keeping itself cold. 😅🙄
I have ADD and Aspergers and they used to medicate me so high that I was acting like I was high on drugs and wasn’t aware of my surroundings and when I became an adult I demanded to be taken off the meds. Now I’m on Lamotrigine and my life couldn’t be better. It zaps the bad stuff. It makes me high on cloud 9 but without affecting me mentally. I’m able to concentrate and be happy. I have always been a bubbly perky hyper person always having to keep busy but I like being that way. I’ll never understand why society views that as a bad thing. I only ever had speech therapy and I’m thankful for that. My parents never cared that my interests were different from other kids and they don’t support forcing autistics to be the same way as everyone else. Sadly my folks are against stimming and yes they believe I should be silent in public but inside the house they let me be myself. The only thing they disagree with really is me helping others because they feel it’s wrong to get involved in people’s lives because they feel helping people prevents people from taking care of themselves which is a bunch of nonsense. I come from a religion LDS Mormon/Christian family so I’m constantly under pressure to only care for family and they twist everything that our doctrine teaches and they don’t even follow the Bible yet they lecture me about it. What our prophets actually say is to have obligation to family but that doesn’t mean to reject friends. They want us to get involved but some Mormon families sadly twist that into lies. I’m more Christian than Mormon at this point and although still a member, I pretty much left due to the prejudice from members. I still read and value my Book of Mormon because many things in it completely match the Bible but I don’t follow anything in it that I feel is false. Every religious book has flaws including the Bible itself but I consider it to be the most Holy. Book of Mormon may have the least errors and be the most accurately correct but the Bible is the most Holy and the most true. There’s a difference between correct and true. Correct simply means grammar wise and error wise meaning it was the least mistranslated. True means the closest to Christ. For me, all the books are mistranslated so I pretty much follow whatever I feel is true. I am surrounded by hateful Christians, Mormons, Catholics and even other autistics who judge me for being different. I thought all of us were good kind people but I found out the hard way not everyone autistic has the mind and heart of a child and some of them are downright mean and cruel. I’m against ABA as are all my friends because they were victims of that horrible practice and although I understand why it’s used and understand why people support it, I don’t feel it’s right to use it to remove someone’s interests or force them to mask their emotions to be like everybody else. That’s mind control in my opinion. What we need to do is remove the bad things within ABA such as rewards, punishment, interest replacement, emotional masking, stimming elimination, Ect; and take away the “training” aspect and replace it with play based therapy. I know a few ABA therapists and they have switched to play therapy and admitted it’s far more effective and has a 72% success rate as where ABA is 50/50. Sadly, play therapy still does interest replacement but they do it by not filling the room with the child’s interests and instead introducing them with different interests so they can keep their current interests at home so their system is very different. I know ABA is a touchy subject because half autistics support it (which I’ll never understand because of the mind control aspect) and some don’t support it so all sides need to be respected but something has to be done. Half of us are against autism, half of us support autism and it’s time to stop fighting over autism politics and start empowering all sides. Think of it like X Men. Those who hate their autism, let them support Autism Speaks and ABA but don’t force it on those who are against it. The goal isn’t to shut them businesses down but to change them. As an advocate that’s my goal someday is to hopefully get Autism Speaks to support the diversity movement and change ABA from mind control dog training into focusing on the actual life skills. Those who had good ABA that did not have mind control, you are the lucky ones. Help us fight for the kind that doesn’t involve eliminating harmless autistic behaviors. Help us fight for the kind that only teaches life skills and doesn’t train to mask. No matter which side you support, remember we are all autistic here and we all have different viewpoints and it needs to be respected. We can be the change if we try :)
i was diagnosed with adhd a day before my 23rd birthday! i’m now 24 and fighting to get tested for autism. thank you so much for all of your content, i’ve never felt so seen before ❤️
I have ASD and ADHD too. I just figured out I had Asperger's 6 days ago I just turned 30. Its such a relief finally knowing why I felt like an alien my whole life o.o. Bless your soul, Your videos give me comfort.
I was diagnosed with ADHD (well back in 1989 it was just called ADD) when I was 7. You hit every single nail on the head for me. I'm glad you understand.
The adventure my mind just took after the first 1:38 minutes of your video: went on my phone to follow you on insta, realized you were followed by someone I follow who I completely forgot existed, caught up on their life, went back to your page (did a little stalking), saw a video where you were playing with a dog, was reminded of a dog name I wanted to add to my list, added the name, found forgotten notes on my phone, deleted unneeded notes, cleared trash, looked up at my computer and remembered I had started this video 😆
Oh my gosh. You talk at the same speed/intensity as me... I'm 26 and from Australia, I was diagnosed ADHD with suspected Autism last week... I totally agree with all of this and I understood you better than I've ever understood anyone other than myself 🥺 Thank you so much for this video ❤
My 11 year old daughter has Autism and ADHD... thankyou for making these videos, this is really insightful and helpful hearing how it is from the mind of someone who has the same diagnosis ❤️
i love your videos bc i get to know myself more. i am autistic and have adhd and it’s really hard sometimes when i notice some stuff that i can relate with neurodivergence but i can’t actually explain it. your videos put into words some stuff i can’t express and god its so happy. i sometimes can’t explain why certain stuff is connected to neurodivergence and you help me so much. i love you chloe. i watched heartbreak high and i love quinni. i’m her fr
I was diagnosed in my pre teens with Anxiety and Depression, diagnosed with Aspergers (ASD 1 high functioning) at age 23 and this year at 40 with ADHD Inattentive
I’ve told my parents that I think I have ADHD or Autism but my little brother has autism and ADHD, and my parents think that the only way I could possibly have Those things is if I’m exactly like Him (we are very different) they may need to learn some differences between the syndrome symptoms in girls and boys .,. (I have a lot of the symptoms that I’ve researched are symptoms in people who are assigned female at birth)
I was diagnosed with ADHD last year (at age 22 🤦🏾♀️) & this video just confirmed for me that I also have ASD & should defo go for an assessment. When you’re “high functioning” you’re are literally susceptible to gas lighters.. if only I had listened to myself I would have been diagnosed with both years ago and my life would have been a lot easier, better & happier 🙃... Long story short 😅... I am extremely grateful for this video so thank you 🙏🏾💝✨
There is an app that I use called ‘aloebud’ that gives you gentle reminders for things such as taking meds, drinking water, speaking to other people, and stimulating your brain. It’s really great, and free too. It might be helpful for your executive function. I use it every day now and have for nearly two years.
First diagnosed with ADHD, knew I had some kinda extra ADHD until I really looked into ASD, which explained everything. This community is so awesome that honestly I wouldn’t take it back, just took me 30 yes to find. Oh well LOL. Great vid!
I discovered i may have both Autism and ADD. Omg my EF is so bad. Out of sight out of mind. Omg I so needed this. I'm in the beginning process of getting tested. Woohoo
AFAB Trans Man Diagnosised with ASD and possibly ADHD? don't know about that one BUT Boi the executive dysfunction hits SO HARD! I rely on school 100000% to help me actually function which means I don't look forward to leaving
Chloe, Congratulations on winning the Wigger Award for all the awareness, information, and love you convey on You Tube and Instagram:)!! Chole, you are an amazing person and deserve the best in life:)!!! I never knew that you do not have to be hyperactive to have ADHD!! I would like to see a video on the differences of ADD and ADHD, if you can:)!! Chole, Thank you for encouraging people to wear masks and be kind to each other:)!! And I so LOVE your crochet tank top, Stop Adoni Earrings, and beautiful yellow floral crown:)!!!
OMG I HAVE ADHD AND ALSO autism. That tape analogy was brilliant! It is exactly like that. I mean yea I've always been on a roller coaster and never understood to not feel over stimulated. However, the tape analogy is what I feel so much. Do any of those traits ever bother you or have you also gotten use to it?
I was 7 (1997/98) and the school told my parents that they would test me but change nothing about my structure. So if I failed, I failed. It took moving to a private school and coming back at 12/13 (2002) and finally getting look at by a team of professionals to see what’s going on. ASD and ADHD. I do struggle in school horribly.
Anything you can do would be helpful. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, possible BiPolar. But there are so many traits within the ASD that feel SOOOOO familiar. Things that I don't even realize I do. I am 45, so I have been masking for a VERY long time. I can remember getting upset as a kid and wringing and waving my hands and my grandmother smacking my hands because she thought I was being hyperactive and she hated it. I can remember watching other people to try and understand things. I can remember being more comfortable with teacher and kids younger than me. With eye contact, even NOW I have to talk to myself about doing enough but not too much eye contact. But then on the other side, having issues with lying. ASD people seem to have a difficulty with lying, but ADHD seems to have no difficulty doing that. Sometimes my lying can seem almost pathological, other times, I am hyper honest. Don't ever ask me if something looks good on you. LOL! Certain things I am drawn too, certain textures I can't stand.. Like that fake soft fluffy stuff that seems to catch on skin or almost feels like there is soap in it.. Just thinking about it gives me the ebby jeebies. I some times have issues with food textures... like yogurt or pudding. But other times, I don't have issues. Certain smells make me gag... Like the smell of vegan cheese.. Just gross.. I have always loved heavier blankets. Like homemade quilts... My Aunt had this blanket that was two really soft old school cotton sheets with a thick heavy blanket in between. It was heavy but thin and I loved it. I remember this one blanket 30 years after using it and I miss it. Comfort things are important. I have an obsession with blankets, pillows, sweatshirts, robes, fluffy sweaters. I can have meltdowns when there is something too tight. Bras can be hell for me. I am just trying to figure this all out. AND how to embrace this and actually be a success in my life. I don't know what to do. I didn't realize until recently that this could be one of the reasons why I have always felt like an alien.
I'm decent at making friends but they have to talk to me first and do most of the talking in the beginning. Most of the time I get adopted by some nice extroverts :)
I am not diagnosed with ADHD (also want to note I'm diagnosed with autistim) but my mom sometimes says we probably are and I haven't gotten around to getting a diagnosis though i feel like I'm kind of chaotic person and I feel like I won't be surprised if i do on the future get diagnosed with ADHD
I have hyper-lexic HFA with generalized special interests, ADHD, CPTSD, and SLDD due to low oxytocin levels and due to being raised in a narcissistic family dynamic.
I'm watching your videos because my 2yo son is probably autistic (awaiting diagnosis) and because I find I can relate to quite a few of the traits myself to some extent. Would just like to say that I'm not even sure how you can talk so fast but it's kinda great - usually I get bored watching UA-cam because everyone takes so long to say things 😂
I have 3 a5 weekly planners that get updated on Sundays. Basic things are put in months in advance on occasion when we hit one of those executive function highs eg planned when i was going home for xmas and going back to uni in October. We are still fairly disorganised tho
Haha my board has turned into a table for my comfy-cushy-corner 🤣I should hang it somewhere I ran into it with my head bc wherever its hanging on the wall it becomes a deco piece with no meaning 😇
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 14 but then got tested again at 23 and was told that while I don't quite meet the criteria for ADHD my anxiety is MASSIVE so I struggle in an ADHD type way. But now at 26 I've had therapists confirm that I'm autistic. So I figure my past ADHD diagnosis was misdiagnosed autism but I still feel like I relate to ADHD so I'm just confused lol
It is not an exact science, so if you feel that adhd describes you, stick with that. It is possible to have adhd with some autistic traits, while not being autistic. Don’t dismiss your own experience.
You can have both coexisting I’m convinced I do. I have my Aspergers diagnosis from 17 years ago but going to get tested for ADHD Inattentive subset next month as there’s definitely more going on.
Could you explore a bit your experiences as someone with both autism and adhd and compare that to people who only have one or the other? There is not much research on the subject, so I would like to know how symptoms differ. I think it could be really helpful for researching both autism and adhd in the future. (Plus im just curious :p)
8:06 I thought you "sleep" instead of "steep" so I honestly thought you were making an analogy of being about to fall asleep but then suddenly "waking up" because you thought you were falling XD
There is much said about the different manifestations of neurodiversity in men and women, but I believe it can be a bit more fluid than that. Though I'm an autistic male (straight and cis-gendered), my autism manifests in a way that is typically seen as female, and I find myself identifying much more with autistic women than men. (This is also likely why I didn't get diagnosed until I was 30.) Does anyone else have a similar experience?
my school said I had to have an updated diagnosis for ADHD from atleast 4 years ago to get the learning privlages... I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia in 2016 -_- .
Chloe, I just want to ask if you talk this fast all the time or is it only in vids? I talk very fast when I use voice chat cos I get anxious...mine is triggered by social anxiety or if im on emotional/ sensory overload....I feel like im going burst lol Sometimes its exhausting....most days i end up experiencing burnout...Anyone else feel this?
'What's it like to have both Autism & ADHD?' - hmmm , Fun ! (for fellow aspies that's sarcasm.) Chloe - can please not wear earrings with writing on - SOoooo distracting. Have you done any videos on conditions that aren't part of ASD/ADHD but are commonly co-morbid . I have both but also alexithymia (I think), rejection sensitive dysphoria & selective mutism. Having the last two together has been absolute murder.
So, I've just recently been diagnosed with Autism, though I'm very sure that I have ADHD as well... it's just that if the Autism diagnosis took 2 years (which, compared to others, is actually quite quick... but it still _feels_ very long) at best... _WHAT'S THE ADHD DIAGNOSIS GOING TO BE LIKE?_ (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
hi i am new to the channel Here are My diagnoses cut and dry i know that everyone with these conditions is affected differently and most of them are invisible: epilepsy, sensory processing disorder, Aspergers like behavior, ADHD, Executive function issues low gross and fine motor tone, developmental delay, anxiety.
You talk so quickly that even though I hear you, I have trouble listening. Slow it down, and place importance on the crux of your comments. Then you're message is understood. I have Autism myself, so I know it's not an Aspie thing. Love your work........but slow it down 😃👍💃
I’m autistic too, and it’s individual for all Autistics so what you might think isn’t an Autism thing could be an autism thing for someone else ☺️ She, like myself also has ADHD, and talking loud/fast can be a part of that, and sometimes Autism too! There is an option to change the playback speed if it’s too fast 😁
As an Aspie I also talk very very fast and often can't regulate my volume, speech abnormalities and regulation issues of all kinds can be part of autism it's just a different part of the spectrum. Personally I'm extremely similar to her in the way we speak so people who talk slowly or less expressively I can't pay attention to whatsoever. Please don't take this as me invalidating you because that is completely understandable!! Like the other reply said I would either use subtitles and/or change the playback speed (I actually turn my speed up for some creators lol). So it CAN be an autism thing for sureeee it just isn't something that you experience.
NTs don't know the struggle of having to plan and set alarms to remember to eat.
I have a hard time with waiting and waiting to eat or drink water, til it's too late and my brain stops working, I get really cranky, don't know what I need to do, or even blacking out. I'll be like, "What's wrong with me? I don't understand," and my boyfriend will always say, "When's the last time you ate?" to which I reply, "Uhh... yesterday?" 🤦♀️

Lol I just read a manga about a character that’s like this, which Is also what I relate to

It’s called “Shounen Note” and it’s about singing. I recommend everyone to check it out, because it really is a cool manga, and I *suspect* the main character to be Autistic (a personal lil head canon lol, I have no idea if other people think this too)
Your gorgeous and awesome your such a bubbly sweetheart love you Chloe wouldn't change you your perfect the way you are

Just came across this channel. It's nice to find someone else who had ADHD and autism. It's kind of lonely being the only one I know.
I always write things I need to do down, but I really struggle with starting something
You are speaking in super sonic speed.
But there is the 3 dotes in the corner why you can do playback speed 0.75.
If anyone having problems registering the speed.
Thanks that's helpful. ( It's in the cogwheel settings button for me - also makes Chloe sound a little drunk :) )
Very helpful! Thank you!!-
She's amazingly articulative. She's doing exactly what she's meant to do.
i am hearing it at x2 lol it's fine however you want to listen to it
oh my god thank you

I always tell people that the problem with having both ADHD and autism is that sometimes you just can't stand being yourself.
It is a rollercoaster of emotions in here! I'm self diagnosed, first with autism and then more recently realized adhd too most likely. This resonates hard core.🙏

I love the flowers in your hair in combination with your beautiful and fun loving personality!! Keep up the good work making people smile 😊.
Oh my gosh. You talk at the same speed/intensity as me...

Thank you so much for this video ❤
My 11 year old daughter has Autism and ADHD... thankyou for making these videos, this is really insightful and helpful hearing how it is from the mind of someone who has the same diagnosis ❤️
i love your videos bc i get to know myself more. i am autistic and have adhd and it’s really hard sometimes when i notice some stuff that i can relate with neurodivergence but i can’t actually explain it. your videos put into words some stuff i can’t express and god its so happy. i sometimes can’t explain why certain stuff is connected to neurodivergence and you help me so much. i love you chloe. i watched heartbreak high and i love quinni. i’m her fr
i'd love to see that video about comparing ADHD and autism! I find the two conditions so interesting how some things overlap but not all
Hey Chloe remember me? Bella, I made the “This is me” singing video with you I hope you are doing well 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
As someone with autism and adhd I've often described my brain as being like the song 'flight of the bumblebee' and not on low volume XD
You changed my life , and outlooks on things thank you. You're amazing
I was diagnosed in my pre teens with Anxiety and Depression, diagnosed with Aspergers (ASD 1 high functioning) at age 23 and this year at 40 with ADHD Inattentive
I'm autistic as well. Working to spread acceptance :)
I’ve told my parents that I think I have ADHD or Autism but my little brother has autism and ADHD, and my parents think that the only way I could possibly have Those things is if I’m exactly like Him (we are very different) they may need to learn some differences between the syndrome symptoms in girls and boys .,.
(I have a lot of the symptoms that I’ve researched are symptoms in people who are assigned female at birth)
It’s a really long processes to get diagnosed it has taken me 2-3 years
hang in there! wish you all the best and all the patience there is in the world, it’s HARD for us women because we have different representations 🥺
I was diagnosed with ADHD last year (at age 22 🤦🏾♀️) & this video just confirmed for me that I also have ASD & should defo go for an assessment.
When you’re “high functioning” you’re are literally susceptible to gas lighters.. if only I had listened to myself I would have been diagnosed with both years ago and my life would have been a lot easier, better & happier 🙃...
Long story short 😅... I am extremely grateful for this video so thank you 🙏🏾💝✨
There is an app that I use called ‘aloebud’ that gives you gentle reminders for things such as taking meds, drinking water, speaking to other people, and stimulating your brain. It’s really great, and free too. It might be helpful for your executive function. I use it every day now and have for nearly two years.
First diagnosed with ADHD, knew I had some kinda extra ADHD until I really looked into ASD, which explained everything. This community is so awesome that honestly I wouldn’t take it back, just took me 30 yes to find. Oh well LOL. Great vid!
I discovered i may have both Autism and ADD. Omg my EF is so bad. Out of sight out of mind. Omg I so needed this. I'm in the beginning process of getting tested. Woohoo
AFAB Trans Man Diagnosised with ASD and possibly ADHD? don't know about that one BUT Boi the executive dysfunction hits SO HARD! I rely on school 100000% to help me actually function which means I don't look forward to leaving
I love how you say h and I think that it makes more sense to pronounce it like that but I cannot be bothered to put that much breath into a letter lol
Chloe, Congratulations on winning the Wigger Award for all the awareness, information, and love you convey on You Tube and Instagram:)!! Chole, you are an amazing person and deserve the best in life:)!!! I never knew that you do not have to be hyperactive to have ADHD!! I would like to see a video on the differences of ADD and ADHD, if you can:)!! Chole, Thank you for encouraging people to wear masks and be kind to each other:)!! And I so LOVE your crochet tank top, Stop Adoni Earrings, and beautiful yellow floral crown:)!!!
OMG I HAVE ADHD AND ALSO autism. That tape analogy was brilliant! It is exactly like that. I mean yea I've always been on a roller coaster and never understood to not feel over stimulated. However, the tape analogy is what I feel so much. Do any of those traits ever bother you or have you also gotten use to it?
I was 7 (1997/98) and the school told my parents that they would test me but change nothing about my structure. So if I failed, I failed. It took moving to a private school and coming back at 12/13 (2002) and finally getting look at by a team of professionals to see what’s going on. ASD and ADHD. I do struggle in school horribly.
In the subtitles, she said “autism Q&A” at one point and it came up as “awesome Q&A”, why does that make me so happy 😂
Anything you can do would be helpful. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, possible BiPolar. But there are so many traits within the ASD that feel SOOOOO familiar. Things that I don't even realize I do. I am 45, so I have been masking for a VERY long time. I can remember getting upset as a kid and wringing and waving my hands and my grandmother smacking my hands because she thought I was being hyperactive and she hated it. I can remember watching other people to try and understand things. I can remember being more comfortable with teacher and kids younger than me. With eye contact, even NOW I have to talk to myself about doing enough but not too much eye contact. But then on the other side, having issues with lying. ASD people seem to have a difficulty with lying, but ADHD seems to have no difficulty doing that. Sometimes my lying can seem almost pathological, other times, I am hyper honest. Don't ever ask me if something looks good on you. LOL! Certain things I am drawn too, certain textures I can't stand.. Like that fake soft fluffy stuff that seems to catch on skin or almost feels like there is soap in it.. Just thinking about it gives me the ebby jeebies. I some times have issues with food textures... like yogurt or pudding. But other times, I don't have issues. Certain smells make me gag... Like the smell of vegan cheese.. Just gross.. I have always loved heavier blankets. Like homemade quilts... My Aunt had this blanket that was two really soft old school cotton sheets with a thick heavy blanket in between. It was heavy but thin and I loved it. I remember this one blanket 30 years after using it and I miss it. Comfort things are important. I have an obsession with blankets, pillows, sweatshirts, robes, fluffy sweaters. I can have meltdowns when there is something too tight. Bras can be hell for me.
I am just trying to figure this all out. AND how to embrace this and actually be a success in my life. I don't know what to do. I didn't realize until recently that this could be one of the reasons why I have always felt like an alien.
I have ADHD and autism and you are my role model
I hear this with the alarms. I have alarms with everything!!!
I'm decent at making friends but they have to talk to me first and do most of the talking in the beginning. Most of the time I get adopted by some nice extroverts :)
I ALBOSLUTELY LOOOOOOVE MATCHA. MATCHA BOBA TEA. YOUVE GOTTA TRY IT!
Love your content. Great to see an Aussie content creator in this space.
No concert till late next year probably.😭
I have autism and you have confirmed I have ADHD too
I am not diagnosed with ADHD (also want to note I'm diagnosed with autistim) but my mom sometimes says we probably are and I haven't gotten around to getting a diagnosis though i feel like I'm kind of chaotic person and I feel like I won't be surprised if i do on the future get diagnosed with ADHD
Omg hi I am your biggest fan and I have autism to girl power 🥰
I have hyper-lexic HFA with generalized special interests, ADHD, CPTSD, and SLDD due to low oxytocin levels and due to being raised in a narcissistic family dynamic.
I think a second one is a good idea! :)
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 2 and a half years old and diagnosed with autism at 4 years old
I'm watching your videos because my 2yo son is probably autistic (awaiting diagnosis) and because I find I can relate to quite a few of the traits myself to some extent. Would just like to say that I'm not even sure how you can talk so fast but it's kinda great - usually I get bored watching UA-cam because everyone takes so long to say things 😂
I have 3 a5 weekly planners that get updated on Sundays. Basic things are put in months in advance on occasion when we hit one of those executive function highs eg planned when i was going home for xmas and going back to uni in October. We are still fairly disorganised tho
But how do you actually get a ASD from a psychiatrist? It's not that I want it, but I'm so scared of being misdiagnosed? :(
I look up to you Chloé and I love you !
Haha my board has turned into a table for my comfy-cushy-corner 🤣I should hang it somewhere I ran into it with my head bc wherever its hanging on the wall it becomes a deco piece with no meaning 😇
Can you do some more please this is helping me so much because I have autism
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 14 but then got tested again at 23 and was told that while I don't quite meet the criteria for ADHD my anxiety is MASSIVE so I struggle in an ADHD type way. But now at 26 I've had therapists confirm that I'm autistic. So I figure my past ADHD diagnosis was misdiagnosed autism but I still feel like I relate to ADHD so I'm just confused lol
Your probably both, also adhd and autism have a lot in common, and doctors tend to only diagnose adhd on hyperactivity which is wrong
It is not an exact science, so if you feel that adhd describes you, stick with that. It is possible to have adhd with some autistic traits, while not being autistic. Don’t dismiss your own experience.
You can have both coexisting I’m convinced I do. I have my Aspergers diagnosis from 17 years ago but going to get tested for ADHD Inattentive subset next month as there’s definitely more going on.
...anyone ever watch these on 2X speed? It’s a lot.
This one I’ve had to slow down to negative 0.75
I'm starting to think I'm might be autistic too I was diagnosed with ADHD web I was 11
I also have ADHD and I am going to forget everything you said after 5 minutes watching this video xd
Could you explore a bit your experiences as someone with both autism and adhd and compare that to people who only have one or the other? There is not much research on the subject, so I would like to know how symptoms differ. I think it could be really helpful for researching both autism and adhd in the future. (Plus im just curious :p)
8:06 I thought you "sleep" instead of "steep" so I honestly thought you were making an analogy of being about to fall asleep but then suddenly "waking up" because you thought you were falling XD
There is much said about the different manifestations of neurodiversity in men and women, but I believe it can be a bit more fluid than that. Though I'm an autistic male (straight and cis-gendered), my autism manifests in a way that is typically seen as female, and I find myself identifying much more with autistic women than men. (This is also likely why I didn't get diagnosed until I was 30.) Does anyone else have a similar experience?
My daughter is 11 and autistic, she shows more male traits on the spectrum from what I've noticed.
Chris Ulmer of SBSK would love to see you
Shes a competitor for james charles XD
All these things resonate with me then you talking fast yep me to my family say I talk to fast
Merry Christmas , young lady
Your earrings 🔥👌👌👌
my school said I had to have an updated diagnosis for ADHD from atleast 4 years ago to get the learning privlages... I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia in 2016 -_- .
Why you can't suddenly just get rid of it like that
Chloe, I just want to ask if you talk this fast all the time or is it only in vids? I talk very fast when I use voice chat cos I get anxious...mine is triggered by social anxiety or if im on emotional/ sensory overload....I feel like im going burst lol Sometimes its exhausting....most days i end up experiencing burnout...Anyone else feel this?
if you want to learn more abt adhd and coping skills, look at How to ADHD's youtube channel!
Do other autistic people or adhd or both have those weird spasms when you have to pee
'What's it like to have both Autism & ADHD?' - hmmm , Fun ! (for fellow aspies that's sarcasm.)
Chloe - can please not wear earrings with writing on - SOoooo distracting.
Have you done any videos on conditions that aren't part of ASD/ADHD but are commonly co-morbid . I have both but also alexithymia (I think), rejection sensitive dysphoria & selective mutism. Having the last two together has been absolute murder.
This is a split image of me 😂😂
I need a gal like u in my life😭😭😭😭💜💜💜💜
Chloe I'm pretty sure we were destined to be best friends....
Before when i would wake up in the middle of the night i would have the urge to clean.
me not understanding what u said when u said auditory processing disorder.... alright alright
Thank U so much
So, I've just recently been diagnosed with Autism, though I'm very sure that I have ADHD as well... it's just that if the Autism diagnosis took 2 years (which, compared to others, is actually quite quick... but it still _feels_ very long) at best... _WHAT'S THE ADHD DIAGNOSIS GOING TO BE LIKE?_
(｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
Such good vibes you got ! 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
no disrespect but isnt teami one of those "natural" laxative tea brands? i thought those were proven to be bad bc of the laxative properties
hi i am new to the channel Here are My diagnoses cut and dry i know that everyone with these conditions is affected differently and most of them are invisible: epilepsy, sensory processing disorder, Aspergers like behavior, ADHD, Executive function issues low gross and fine motor tone, developmental delay, anxiety.
Your just like lol I talk very fast too!
How did you become an avtog and How did you deal with all noice and stuff you dont like when you were filming heartbreak high
And they just need someone to release too
I promised I tried to pay attention but in my head was “stop adani stop adani stop adani”
Vibe 😄
I have Auditory processing disorder or APD
💓💓💓
What is written on her earrings?
You talk so quickly that even though I hear you, I have trouble listening.
Slow it down, and place importance on the crux of your comments. Then you're message is understood.
I have Autism myself, so I know it's not an Aspie thing.
Love your work........but slow it down 😃👍💃
I’m autistic too, and it’s individual for all Autistics so what you might think isn’t an Autism thing could be an autism thing for someone else ☺️ She, like myself also has ADHD, and talking loud/fast can be a part of that, and sometimes Autism too! There is an option to change the playback speed if it’s too fast 😁
@@meish8507
Thanks 👍 I'll use it for sure.
As an Aspie I also talk very very fast and often can't regulate my volume, speech abnormalities and regulation issues of all kinds can be part of autism it's just a different part of the spectrum. Personally I'm extremely similar to her in the way we speak so people who talk slowly or less expressively I can't pay attention to whatsoever. Please don't take this as me invalidating you because that is completely understandable!! Like the other reply said I would either use subtitles and/or change the playback speed (I actually turn my speed up for some creators lol). So it CAN be an autism thing for sureeee it just isn't something that you experience.
@@shadeeldridge9711
We are indeed all different.......but the same in many ways.
She might talk a bit too fast
I want to party with you
She has too much energy for me to watch! It triggers me!
