Autistic Not Alien
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2023
Autism is a difference and often misunderstood.
As a late-diagnosed autistic person, I make videos to reflect on my own experiences to increase understanding and acceptance of autistic people.
I hope that this channel will be especially useful to other late-diagnosed autistic adults, though it is open to anyone with an open mind, whether they are autistic or not.
If just one person feels supported by any of my videos, my work is done.

It seems unlikely that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes, and even less likely that I will make this TH-cam channel into a full-time job. But who needs fame and absolute autonomy over their working day anyway? I’ve found my people here, and that means more than I can say.

I wish I could believe in a religion for all sorts of reasons, but my autistic brain won’t allow it.

Autistic Not Alien | Autism is a DISORDER?
มุมมอง 70414 วันที่ผ่านมา
I love a bit of order. Actually, I love a lot of order. So, it’s quite…disordering to read (again and again) that I am disordered. All I want in a world that is so chaotic and cruel is to find peace, so it’s irritating and confusing to be told that I’m the one in the wrong because I’m autistic.

Choose booze, choose a headache and liver ache and all sorts of negative consequences…And yet, I have returned to it again and again. I’m still figuring out how much this has to do with being autistic in a world not designed for autistic people.

Autistic Not Alien | Is AUTISM an EXCUSE for bad behaviour?
มุมมอง 681หลายเดือนก่อน
We’ve all done bad things. Using autism as an excuse for bad behaviour is itself very naughty. When famous people do this, it harms autistic people because it implies that autism is a bad thing. Autistic people have enough difficulty gaining acceptance and understanding in this world - the ‘autism made me do it’ excuse makes advocacy and survival even harder.

Autistic Not Alien | Romance
มุมมอง 861หลายเดือนก่อน
Ah, the language of love. If you want to learn what it is, you won’t learn it from this video, but you will hopefully be amused at how annoyed I am about someone else’s video. Romance/communication is a two-way street. Autistic people get blamed for ‘hindering’ or ‘damaging’, but there is such a thing as a double empathy problem.

We’re all human beings. We all contain blood and dreams. And yet here we are, living in a world that allows yet another genocide to happen. Livestreamed. Deathstreamed. As an autistic person, it seems harder for me to ignore this. Twitter: x.com/NeilLaurenson Website: neillaurenson.co.uk/ (Poetry, politics, and other random musings.)

Autistic Not Alien | Bee Yourself

In an ideal world, we could all bee ourselves without fear, but we don’t live in an ideal world. At least here, on TH-cam, I can bee myself to some extent by, er, making unbeelievably bad puns.

Autistic Not Alien | D'You Know What I Mean?
มุมมอง 8363 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's a crazy situation, but all I need is clarity and peace, and yet I’ve been constantly misunderstood throughout my life. I thought that always choosing my words carefully would mean mutual harmony. Nope. I’m autistic, and it often feels like I’m speaking and writing in a different language to the one neurotypical people are using. Twitter: x.com/NeilLaurenson Website: neillaurenson.co.uk/ (P...

I thought about doing a short video to say ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone for subscribing to this channel, as there are 1,000 of you now. However, that would have been dull, so instead I decided to make this short and sarcastic video because autistic people are renowned for understanding sarcasm…and because I am short and sarcastic.
