Thank you for doing this as it helps me to not just understand myself but others. I embrace my weirdness and the more people I encounter that find me strange just makes me even more determined to carry on being me and not keep trying to fit in with a society that is so judging and fake.

@THEcomplainingCHANNEL it wasn't stated that TL couldn't be those things and have autism, it is not an either/or statement. You have misunderstood and been unnecessarily rude because of your misunderstanding. Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Thanks. I admit I love meeting "strange" people. Even those on drugs, on the streets etc. I like to chat and try to find out about their life. We all get somewhere for some reason. The biggest problem is that there is little clinical help for many people and that's why we end up in a mess. keep it up. Weird is good!!
Thank you. As a person whom has family members with Autism and has known many people over the years on the spectrum I would like to add a couple of points. Firstly female Autism is often completely different from male. Secondly I have over the years been dismayed by the lack of understanding of the challenges encountered when attending medical appointments dealing with Police or officialdom to name a few examples. I have found in particular hospital appointments or necessary required treatment is ignored by Autistic patients unable to deal with the inflexible regimented processes. This has had resulted in dreadful consequences. Although they have been assured they will receive help on arrival this doesn't materialize. This is not a criticism of our very overworked and frantically busy hospital staff. It is just an observation of the experience and challenges that can face people with Autism in some situations.
Thank you for you addition. I don't know who watches my UA-cam videos, but if your information can inform people of the struggles that autistic people and others go through hopefully then it will help everyone learn a bit more.
@@travellinglite What I think maybe very useful information. I didn't know this for a long time. You can obtain special wristbands similar to event ones. They vary, the ones I've seen are just daisies and indicate without talking that you have an invisible disability or ones that say on one side I want to talk or reversed I don't want to talk. These are an important indicator for anyone not only people with Autism who are unable to voice they are finding things challenging. Amazon stock them I believe and some specialist charities.
Thank you for sharing your personal diagnosis. My 2 nephews each have a form of autism. One is currently studying for his PhD and the other is educating others about his life’s struggles through writings and speaking engagements and also volunteers to be a mentor to help others going through the same.
Brilliant. I admit to being pretty ignorant about autism, although I have always treated everyone I have met with respect, no matter what. So when I was diagnosed, I knew I wasn't stupid, so I looked into it and that's what made me put the statement together. Mental health, in all it's guises, has been brushed under the carpet. Government is terrified we are all going to go on benefits because we will call ourselves "disabled" but what they don't realise is that it's not about finding a label, it's about knowing your strengths and how to use them.
Thank-you for posting this. My daughter recently got diagnosed. She is a bright lovely girl who has a very high moral compass. She finds it impossible to form friendships though. She is about to start University in September. I worry for her. It is not easy out there for people like her who find it hard to get friends.
yes, and she definitely needs her mum around as her best friend that she can chat to without judgement. One of the main things about my autism is the fact that I do not have friends. I love my personal space. I have been like this all my life, and although this sounds difficult to handle it has not affected me. She will find people who understand her, and they will more than likely her "go to " people, I have a few of them. Not my friends per say, but people I can trust to ask a question and get an honest reply and help. There are good people out there, don't worry.
@@travellinglite Exactly the point I was trying to make in my earlier comment. We are all people and none are the same. I'm glad to see you again and that you are doing well Travelling Lite! Please take good care of yourself.🥰
I think that comes down to not considering the future outcome. I could still go and do that, I have no concerns of what that future might hold when I take a step that I think looks good for me. Probably comes down to the fearless thing, I just do it. Maybe if I had someone around who sat me down and explained the impact of me doing it I might not have done it.
Get on UA-cam (and Google ) and put in the question " problems processing information in my brain". People put videos on UA-cam about so many issues, something like this might start you on a new journey of getting to know why you have these problems. let me know how that goes too please.
@@TB-us7el I think a big part of raising a child right when they are young and autistic is there needs to be a attachment or some sort of calm loving bond with the mother. Or you grow up feeling alone My mum Had drug and drink issues. And knock herself out with Valium 100 mg a day with lots of drink the minute my dad went off to work. and if we woke her she would fly into a hysterical rage. My father also had anger issues so there was so much screaming and arguing as he wouldn’t calm the situation down he would just scream and shout my mum down and make threats to leave us The worst thing was when my dad got home my mum would be just getting up from being knocked out all day and lye to him about how bad we had been and my father would beat us even though we hadn’t done anything wrong A big part of raising a child is the psychological side to. Your kids will mimic your behaviour You as a parent are responsible for teaching your kids to interpret the world and give them the skills to rationalise what’s going on around them. If the parent is hysterical and freaking out at every little thing you kind of grow up thinking everything that happens is Realy frightening and bad or why would you parent be freaking out ? To this day I can say I never had any meaningful or sensible conversation with my mother. And the same with my father who took no interest in getting to know any of are family and didn’t have anything to teach anyway. He would come home beat us then have dinner and go straight to the pub. Autistic people can do well in life if they’re raised right but if not it destroys there psychology. I remember when I was 18 and started mixing with normal people and meeting there parents I realised everything I had learned from my parents was wrong and how messed up they were My mum had lots of narcissistic traits and would gaslight us and manipulate us all the time.
I am sorry you have had it tough. One of the problems is that autism was considered a disability for many years, we were very ignorant about any mental health issues in my youth. But things are changing, and if you have autism, look into it. use places like UA-cam and Google to help you understand your issues. Then go to your doctor and start a new conversation about your autism. also push for help from mental health specialists or charities. Find people you can talk to.
Thank you. I am definitely going to do much more on mental health. I have a new video to put on my mental health channel and will then let you guys know the site. It's very new and not well put together so don't slate me when you watch stuff on there. However my idea is to put info out there on the many ways we can look for options and help.
Everybody has to have a series of letters to explain themselves these days...A.S.D, PTSD, LGBTQ... people are people. everyone has different traits and quirks. 99% of the worlds population don't even know why we are here on this planet, so lets all just get on with our lives and stop drawing attention to our short-comings, if indeed that is what they are.

Be very careful what information you put on here about autism as some of what you have said is inaccurate. You need to source research from clinical specialists. It’s fine to give your experience as an individual with autism but please don’t give out inaccurate information. I think you need time to learn about yourself and your needs and recognise that every single person with autism is different. This is not a linear condition and should not be seen as such.
Oh it's definitely not linear, and you are right every one is different. What I really wanted to put out there is that all of us have a right to be treated in the same way no matter our issues.

How you managed that period sleeping in your car was just incredible….x

Probably comes down to the fearless thing, I just do it. Maybe if I had someone around who sat me down and explained the impact of me doing it I might not have done it.
I hate the fact that they call it a disorder, it isn’t a disorder….. it is just a different way of processing information,
Some people call it Autism Spectrum Condition which is less damning.
I can’t process information correctly in my brain.
Get on UA-cam (and Google ) and put in the question " problems processing information in my brain". People put videos on UA-cam about so many issues, something like this might start you on a new journey of getting to know why you have these problems. let me know how that goes too please.
Autism has ruined my life😢I have it and my mum had it. it was horrible to be raised by someone who is autistic.
That's a pretty rude thing to say duh
@@sandraaiden8587 it’s a 100% true and the truth is not always nice
