Also it pisses me off that some people are forcing the statement that Asperger's Syndrome is ableist or outdated term. No it isn't and I'm still gonna call myself Asperger and Aspie.

As an Asperger myself, this is very relatable Even though I was diagnosed quite early and I can already handle many situations I still have many obvious traits like these given here. I'm very anxious, clumsy, I see world around me as very confusing and chaotic sometimes hypersensitive and have I have severe sensory hypersensitivities; for example I cannot wear jeans because of their texture (When I wear them I feel like I'm wearing pants made of sandpaper), I don't like touching coins, keys and chain jewelry, I even have a problem with the hair on the sides of my head because they itch me, which is why I often shave them and for nearly 10 years I have mohawk, I have been wearing the same type of combat boots everyday for nearly half of my life because other types of footwear are extremaly uncomfortable for me and wearing anything else makes me feel great pain, I have a problem with certain types of loud noises (for example alarms, horns, ringing of intercoms and sometimes even the ringing of the telephone) altough I think also being a metalhead helped me develop a tolerance for loud sounds, also thanks to going to concerts. I agree with Max, being an Aspie is a part of my life and personality but I have to admit that living with Asperger's can be very difficult sometimes, mainly because of previously mentioned Clumsyness, Anxiety, Sensory hypersensitivity etc I think I still have a long way to go to overcome my difficulties with Asperger's Syndrome

Autistic people need more respect, I’m constantly rejected from jobs for being honest about my autism, but I’ve had jobs before, and I did them well, despite this, they overlook it, and still consider me an empty employee. Just because I’m not like everyone doesn’t mean I don’t deserve a chance everyone gets, but I also know equality is a joke, and it’ll never happen, no matter how hard we preach for it, because the people that can change it have deaf ears.

Tbh I don’t think I have aspergers now

This is actually really accurate to how it feels

I'm diagnosed with Aspergers since I was 4 years old but I've actually never had problems understanding and recognising emotions, both my own and other peoples, nor do I have problems expressing my emotions, if anything I get too emotional and end up making a fool of myself for not regulating myself properly. Biggest problem I have is being shit at approaching and interacting with people, pretty much all social interactions feel super intense, intimidating and draining so I tend to avoid them completely and isolate myself which is a quick short term fix and I like being by myself for the most part but after a while the loneliness can get to me, plus the lack of a decent network of people to turn to for support as a result is not good. I don't really consider myself particularly logical or literal, the world is not so much chaotic and confusing as it is totally terrifying, I can't think on my feet and respond quickly at all so I know if I ended up in a dangerous or unpredictable situation I'd just shut down completely and end up totally fucked and vulnerable so I tend to only stick to a very small number of safe environments which once again means my life experiences are much more limited than most peoples, and I am much less independent than other people my age, I rely on my parents for everything and feel like a burden, especially as they get older and I still remain dependent on them. I don't know about a cure, aspergers/autism isn't a tangible thing like cancer, it's a diagnosis based on an extremely broad set of behavioural observations that vary greatly from person to person, so I think the idea of a single cure fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the disorder. I do know however that if somebody could hypothetically offer me a cure that would stop me from being so damn anxious and emotionally sensitive, and would give me the ability to think more quickly and not freeze up and shut down so easily, then I would take it in a heartbeat. Autism isn't a positive identity for me, it has made my life immeasurably more restricted and less happy.

I have Aspergers syndrome, and though it may do bad for me I some ways, it has blessed me in others. I have been given gifts and talents I do not deserve, and I thank the Lord for them.

I used to be a big crybaby as a young autistic kid, but bullying and the pressure to conform to social expectations made me quite frigid as I grew older. I can still cry, but usually after I've held my tears in for so long that I start to crack. Sometimes I wish I could still cry as easily as I did back then.

negatives outweigh the positives.

haha ass burger

This is my favorite movie of all time and I had no idea that Max is voiced by Philip Seymour Hoffman

The getting jumpscared by loud sounds is relatable to both me and granny, she won’t even know I’m at a place until I say something and she jumps. That happens to me too sometimes, I was opening a school door and an alarm went off, I jumped and went “YOW” like a cartoon character. It was one of those doors that prevents breaking in. With Max solving the Rubik’s Cube, I’ve gotten pretty good at the Bop It games. A few weeks ago, there was a Groot Bop-it on my video teacher’s desk and I borrowed it and beat it in just one try. She was highly impressed and I told her I’ve had years of experience with Bop-it. My dad tells me I know certain details that he doesn’t, because my mind is pretty logical and I like to learn a lot about things. I’m all like “Hey, this one is a little different than usual” and my dad wouldn’t notice. I tell him facts about lots of things. Once I start explaining something, I go down a huge rabbit hole. Although, there are some jokes and sarcasm that I don’t understand sometimes and I often think they’re being too real with it. I always felt I would be the most different in a friend group. Let’s say that I’m with a group of friends at school and they all talk about how they love being naughty and that they do what the media calls “normal teenager stuff” and then there’s me who finds it quite strange. My interests haven’t changed much since I was a child, but it’s rather expanded. I’ve always been into vintage films and television since I was born like Thomas the Tank Engine, closing logos from the 70’s, old Disney movies, comedy, etc. I would also have hard times trying new foods in fear of gagging or puking, it’s been getting better since quarantine started. My handwriting hasn’t really changed since I was in grade school, I’m a junior in high school now. Because I was so wild when I first entered kindergarten, they put me in a special class until the end of 5th grade. I wasn’t entirely special needs which is why I was taken out. My dad believed that I would be able to manage without it, he was right. I’ve been getting basically straight A’s and sometimes B’s in high school since freshman year, there would be a few bumps here and there but every year it would end really strong. I will say this film did an amazing job at handling people with Asperger’s Syndrome, better than most media I’ve seen depict disabilities. Thomas the Tank Engine did a good one on Henry’s arc, he was suffering a lot and most of the trains didn’t take it seriously. Both pieces of media have lots of hidden gems and they’re mind blowing.

Talk about the noise it makes in our heads.talk about this thing in side ur torso like a wind that's takes shapes and has so much weight only ur insides offer it resistance. Talk about the endless negative thoughts food that thing In side you.lets talk about the thump that rips trew you for almost everything. Let's talk about the noise it makes in ur head .the endless narrations of ur own voice describing the videos playing endlessly in your third eye. Let's talk about that light one the one that goes of to give you the heads up when something nice was about to happen .Let's talk about the word I found to describe what was happening to me at my deepest levels to my molecules I WAS VIBRATING. Let's talk about the time I nearly killed my self but I saw the word stop blare trew my minds eye who sent me the help who told me to stop it was my higher self in mind and physical sensation. Let's talk about how in 13 months I reversed a life time of horror. We are all brothers and sisters.

I'm Autistic and I would say that this movie shows us an accurate depiction of Autism.

“That doesn’t make you god, that doesn’t make you sane” goes hard

Fuck do I have Asperger’s?

OH MY GOD. I HAVE ASS BURGERS?

For years, i've been told I have asbergers. I never fully understood what it was that made me different. After watching this video however, I finally understand. So, thank you.

1:38 I don’t know man, looks unique and still readable to me.

Thank you! Especially the line “too late to abort me”. #autisticprolifechristian

i like being an aspy it's fun

The showing emotions part is relatable. As an autistic, I have a little bit of a hard time expressing excitement and happiness sometimes. I felt like I was able to show it a whole lot better when I was younger. Anyone know where I can watch this movie? I really wanna see it.

I loved this movie, nonetheless I wanted to add that according to modern psychiatry (as expressed by APA, which is still used worldwide, for instance in my country) the Asperger's diagnose is outdated, only because it has been added to the wider range of the autism spectrum. That's it friends, have a good one.

Not to be funny.. But his accent sounded like he said "ass burgers". Also, God bless you if you found my comment.

It's not an a disiability .

We’re Autistic, hear us ROAR 🦁! 😂 Love it 😍! That’s great 😃! Instead of “I am Woman, Hear Me Roar,” which was a feminist anthem, you’ve made it relevant to Autism. We’re all people and we all need to be loved 🥰.

I have it too. It’s extremely difficult for me to make friends.

I have to go to the psychiatric for a diagnose like right fking now, i have every single thing this boy explained

It's a real shame that Asperger's is no longer officially recognized as its own condition. I'm glad I grew up when it was still part of the dsm. Max felt like a great respresentation of the condition.

Like Max here, I too am an Aspie. But I made it this far: I graduated High school I have 2 great paying jobs I have more friends than before Things are Great for me

Can anyone explain why many with it come off like they’re assholes, who think they know it all, and that the rest of the world is always presumed to be an idiot? Max doesn’t seem to display this these traits.

Bro looks like Shrek and sounds like Homer

I have autism and is very accurate❤

I really don't agree about almost anything and especially about the defective part. Thank Tony Attwood for his contribitions to FIX the Allistic bullshit fixing is important

"Ass-Burgers Syndrome"

a lady to gets wax yes but a male no we all have hair ladys have har down blow and under there arms but us males have it ever were

that's makes nont funny

I'm not diagnosed with Aspergers but I really relate with this (I am diagnosed with ADHD though)

It’s surprising that a claymation movie has a more realistic portrayal of autism than most live action films

He’s just like me fr

I watched this when i was 8 i thought it was shrek.exe

"I cry when I cut onions but this does not count"

I have this shit too but i can understand facial expressions. Clumsy as hell and super scared of noise and am a crybaby

As someone who Aspires for greatness this felt too real

2:18 as an autistic person, yes.

Unfortunately, I’m the exact opposite of this. I feel disabled, defective, and like I need to be cured, and one of my biggest problems is that I cry so easily, to the point where, as a kid, I would often get in trouble for being disruptive. I wish I could be self-accepting like Max.

Yeah as an person with aspergers. Accurate.

As an aspie myself I can agree with this.

"Dear Marie, Daisy Dinkle. There is something i have to tell you. To explain why i have not written. Every time i received one of your letters, i suffered an immediate anxiety attack. This is because recently while i was in a mental institution, they diagnosed that I have a new thing called aspergers syndrome, which is a neurobiological, pervasive, developmental disability. I prefer, Aspie, for short. I will now list some of the traits of an aspie. Number 1. I find the world very confusing and chaotic, because my mind is very literal, and logical. 2. I have trouble understanding the expressions on peoples faces. When I was younger, I made a book to help me, when I was confused. I still have trouble with some people. My grandma was hard because of her wrinkles, and her eyebrows weren't real. 3. I have bad handwriting. Im hypersensitive. Clumsy. I can get very concerned. 4. I like solving problems. My doctor said this is a good thing. And finally number 5. I have trouble expressing my emotions. My doctor says my brain is defective, but one day there will be a cure for my disability. I do not like it when he says this. I do not feel disabled, defective, or a need to be cured. I like being an aspie. It would be like trying to change the color of my eyes." I love this quote

Most of these aren't autism or specifically asoergers
