I was wondering do you feel seen as the real you by other Autistic people, do you feel that connection with them?

💛

also eating food/drinking water/using the bathroom lol. if im disregulated im probably neglecting my body

Okay this is so creepy. I just got up from doing the legs on the wall thing, and then I get this suggested to me. So weird i hate technology 😭

You look amazing and you are giving great advice. Thank you for being you!!! ❤

I get this all too well. One step forward each day

💛💛

Agreed. After years of research and daily practice within fields like self-development, psychology, spirituality etc. I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t judge yourself into self-love. It’s just counter intuitive. Emotional regulation isn’t about compartmentalization, it is rather about the impetus of self-love. Additionally, human beings are not these fixed and unchanging identities, we are open, changing, vulnerable, sensitive. I believe self-love in itself as an abstract comes through primarily from learning what healthy coping and psychology looks like, as well as reframing and from having empathy for others reflecting back to self. Wellbeing comes from good daily habits and self-honoring actions.

I used to fear gyms & shopping centres till my 30s now im finding balance & realising my limits. I find the gym or any exercise is fascinating & often can be amazing its dealing with the motion & pace I find wild & a bit over tiring. I admire your ability to be consistent alot

I appreciate this in ways words cannot express. I often would run on empty & this made such sense to me. thankyou for explaining I really appreciate it. I often look forward too & really enjoy your content.

Thank you. I feel greatly misunderstood with this. My voice tone sounding flat at times gets me into disagreements with people I care about, especially since I don’t always sound that way. It’s hard 😢

This is beautiful , thank you.

A bonus to all of these methods is regulating in a room full of pretty plants

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

❤❤❤

You’re really cool dude. I wish I looked as confident as you do

at the end of the day its 12 hours from the next day

Thank you for speaking openly about this. Really helps me as someone who is on the waiting list for an ASD diagnosis/test.

I'm being assesed right now and my mother had a session to talk with the assessor. she doesn't remember me having meltdowns and crying a lot, but I remember it. so annoyed that she's going to ruin my assessment by not being able to be aware enough to think I was difficult to handle. she was too busy with my siblings

Kontynuuj proszę

Thank you. I have learned so much from you.

I agree, when did people collectively decide that autistic and neurodivergent people in general were to be ostracised, so many “weird” people in the past, musicians, artists, actors etc. Somehow they get a pass for being “weird” but the average joe like us is ostracised and feels like an outcast.

1. There's no way for the audience to know if this person is ACTUALLY 'autistic' or not and nobody's going to ask him to prove it, which he certainly counts on 2. He is USING the disorder of Autism to ID himself and get views. He's literally 'milking' his own condition for attention which MOST ACTUALLY AUTISTIC PEOPLE DO NOT DO 3. Crystals and greenery indicate he's what's known as a green Nazi and given that... 4. it is stupid and ludicrous to take ANYTHING AT ALL that this person says about Autism with DEEP SUSPICION (remember: YOU DON'T >KNOW< THAT HE'S AUTISTIC.....some people have pretended to have cancer for the same reasons: GRIFTING/POLITICAL AGENDAS) 5. I know 3 people with Autism IRL, all Adults, and NONE of them identify with anyhting he's saying 6. He is USING A REAL CONDITION THAT REAL PEOPLE HAVE and trying to build a name for HIMSELF off of it 7. MFKER, get a gd LIFE and A JOB like the rest of the Adults with mild Autism DO 8. Having ASD doesn't make you a twee hipster dudebro with a bong habit 9. He does NOT rep the autistic community IN ANY WAY nor has he been asked to 10. You can learn all about ASD BY YOURSELF by merely chatting with Uncle Google AND you are FAR MORE LIKELY TO GET THE FACTS than what this dudebro's trying to assert as 'true'.

Very deep and powerful realization of the best and the worst of a late diagnosis. I have had the emotion rollercoaster since my late diagnosis 3 years ago. It gets better and this what life is all about. I can celebrate my past life and understand it from a different point of view. What you are doing is a great healing process.

I was diagnosed last year at 26 while applying for a gainful career opportunity. I've also got adhd, g.a.d. and persistent motor tic. Because of my youtube channel crap ton of people in my country talk bad about me totally ignorant of my conditions and if they actually knew about my diagnosis they would feel pretty bad about everything they've said about me.

I got a beanie and headbands w headphones built in (super affordable and not nearly as good sound as my headset) but now I can have some peace in public

This. The "autism make mundane tasks more challenging & its not complaining or being negative, its just reality" is the one thing i want the people in my life to learn.

When i start to get overstimulated I usually get irritated or frustrated easier. I start rocking back & forth. I dont want to talk anymore (i love talking). I also get stuck doing one thing & having a really hard time switching to something else. I forget to fulfill my needs, like eating, drinking water, & using the bathroom. That's all my cues that i can think of. Im still learning what my overstimulation cues are 😅

Your posts really open up my eyes to how my autism presents itself, I appreciate it. The way you present is the most similar to how I do compared to anyone else I've met and its very helpful to see someone else like me. Idk if you answer comments, but something I've been struggling with is maintaining friendships (especially during burnout) and finding others like me who "get it." Do you have any tips for me? Anyone in the comments, feel free to help out <3

My first sign is I'm irritated or emotional over the smallest things and I usually start crying without realizing as weird as that sounds. I could be doing something or having a conversation and I always call it silent crying. I don't have the urge to cry, the lump in my throat or anything but tears are streaming down my face uncontrollably

YEPP

my big signs of overstimulation are getting overheated, increased heart rate, and dizziness. I’ll also sometimes get ‘stuck’ and physically can’t move unless assisted

The Rosenberg method is also one of the fastest ways that i use almost daily, to shift into the Parasympathetic response.

Body things are a bit difficult for me, because my body always screams it's too much. Main thing I notice and when I need to do something is when I can't talk. I shut down and can't answer basic questions Sounds are also a thing, they are way more difficult then

Thank you for sharing ❤

One of the first grounding tools I learned that helps me when I’m overstimulated is the cold. So I keep instant ice packs in my backpack wherever I go in case I need it. It has come in handy numerous times.

Wow, i feel so seen through you. Your loving spirit, your sensitivity, the extreme emotions. I’ve shamed myself for so long for my ”needs”. But this… you, this makes me feel validated and acceptable, especially as a man. Thank you Trevor.

I don’t know if i have autism, i do have ADD. But i relate to this strongly, very strongly. For me it has been extreme, completely absorbed in research and daily practice of spiritual and personal development oriented stuff for years. Mainly due to severe trauma also. Self-acceptance is ridiculously difficult when your brain constantly attacks itself on a visceral level, because the perception is so deeply rooted and automatic but illogical. Still worth it, you articulated it beautifully though, sir. Gabor Maté’s work has opened my eyes too. Everyone is different, but in no way is it bad or worse, if the same differences are measured based on degree. It’s our gift to the world. I can also tell that your spirit is very special. Thanks.

You’re a beautiful spirit, inside and out.

My sensitivity to sound gets a lot more intense and I find more foods unpalatable or the texture is too weird or gross. I know I'm shutting down when safe foods are starting to be gross.

It’s me. What is it about laying with legs up like that…

FACTS ‼️ I used to host Thanksgiving and Christmas for years. I recall one year there was so much going on that I went to my bedroom and sat in the corner of my closet for about 20 mins. I don’t think anyone ever noticed. 😂

Oh only if they would understand

Trevor I noticed you’re wearing a ring on left hand. You may have advised us that you’re married but I’m a relatively new subscriber to your You Tube channel and I don’t remember you mentioning that you’re married or have a partner. You’re a handsome young man wearing a ring on your left had so that’s why I’m curious. ✨✌️✨

This coming month is the second time in a year landlords have sold the house we are in. I'm fighting shutdown because of the change and on top of it the realtor wants to come in and take pictures with our stuff still here, before we move out. I dont understand why she cant wait until the end of the month when its empty. I dont feel comfortable with the address and all our stuff on a website for everyone to see. She's being so pushy about it. The rental company was just here taking pictures for the end of the lease in case of damage, there was none. Why new pictures when they have pictures from before we moved in. Its taking everything inside me not to shutdown and watch the walking dead from beginning to end for the millonth time, when i have to pack.

Me after banging my knee up today. Like a little B!t

Yupppppp

Same I love water!! ❤

Is it just me or there is a really subtle meditative music in background ?

how dare you make me see that i'm not the only one who does this😑😑 No original experiences, istg
