My name is Yordan. I am an autistic adult who used to be an alcoholic and a drug addict.
Setting myself free from the grip of my addictions I decided to make this channel to help others with similar issues. I want to bring light into an overlooked issue that people with neurodivergent conditions are far more likely to struggle with addction and mental health problems. So join me in my journey to help spread awareness of this phenomenon and discover ways to overcome it.

I like this guy
Thank you so much for sharing your story. About a year ago I looked for stories like this looking for someone to relate to, but there wasn’t much from autistic folks who had struggled with alcohol. There have been more and more people talking about it on youtube and it helps not to feel so alone. I’m sorry you went through that, and thanks again for sharing. ❤️
I'm glad more people are sharing similar stories, information has to get out of the dark so that our community becomes more aware of this issue.
a little off subject, but why is the cup handle in your thumbnail as bright as an LED light??
😂 I guess I increased the glowing effect to put more focus on the cup.. though if you look at the bottom of the cup, it's the same but the handle just sticks out!
Thanks for sharing. I wasted like 30+ k hours playing computer, but I kept sober somehow. Everything what you mention was offered to me also, but I was addicted to PC. I am from Latvia.
It's not a waste then, since it managed to keep you sober. There are some addictions that are worse than others. Playing WoW for 9 hours a day when I was 17 was the first time I managed to stay away from drugs (alas not from alcohol) for several months.
@autisticrehab5110 it did technically keep me sober, however I did not like myself to a great degree, I compulsively ate garbage and it left me depressed and lethargic. That state I wouldn't call being sober as all you want to do is to play games and do nothing else in your life. But I can't compare it to yours. But 10 years ago a discovered self-development and meditation and I have managed to reverse it to a great degree.
"I was addicted to PC" Police constables? Political correctness? Personal computers?
Yer I have a similar story too this link isn't talked about very much for some reason booze is a great mask shame it completely fucks everything else up
This link is even known by most of the medical community but they still avoid talking about it for "lack of definite proof"
@@autisticrehab5110 we r not stupid people always help
Great video, thanks for sharing. 12-6-24 F
our journeys are pretty similar!! thank you sm for sharing
It's terrible to realize that you thought the other person was really interested in what you had to say but notice their eyes glazing over. Maybe they were being polite and now you feel like your ass is hanging out. This happens a lot with me and I did not know about the dopamine. Once again there is a lesson about spending energy wisely. Great video.
Thank you! I have felt like that so often in the past, just so damn uncomfortable when you look at the other person's reaction 😅I still do it every once in a while, though I get the signs to stop earlier in the conversation.
Hey, you did a good job on this video. Keep it up!
Keep fighting you are doing great. The importance to the parents to get aware of their kids behavior is crucial but like you said about your mom she has ASD she didn’t know better, thank you for sharing the root of your addiction keep fighting for your healing journey. Good luck
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It can be a hard road out there.
Nothing upsets me more than their glamorization. It destroys peoples lives whilst others benefit, even with regard to smoking. People aren't consumers of these products. They are consumed. I am sorry what you've been through amd although you obviously accept responsibility I hope more people realize who the victims are and who the bad guys are. Although I cannot fully comprehend it the courage of people like yourself in beating this makes nonsense terms like weakness and limitations. I hope you experience life so deeply and honestly you are rewarded with everything you lost in your toughest times.
Thank you for your kind words! It is a reward enough for me that I escaped that prison and now life slowly starts to set in place. As for the consumed this battle takes place everywhere nowadays, it's not only drugs, it's social media, technology, and materialism in general. It's a slow and painful process but I think people are waking up.
I avoided substance abuse only because family was full of terrible examples even deaths. I am 58 and I was diagnosed formally with ADHD at 57 and self diagnosed with ASD 9 months ago. Your videos are so helpful both with regard to my familys struggles and my own autism. Thank you
I'm glad you stayed away from substances even though it came from negative family examples! I wish more people are able to do that before it harms them seriously as drugs and alcohol have become almost ubiquitous in our society.
Sorry guys, I've cut the video at the end by mistake 😅 Peace be with you all!
