My Funny Autistic Bloopers and Outtakes. Mistakes where made!
Just trust yourself, Leo,you are sharing your own experiences bring an autistic person,which is more relevant I guess to many.Sometimes things dont go the way we want,but eventually they do find their destination .And popular channels never in my lists😅😅😅 I don't think there's genuineness in their contents
@@resinartists thank you! I appreciate that! It's good advice.
I am in total agreement, Leo. My favorite channels are the ones like yours that keep things real, with no feeling of manipulation. I find it strange that the most popular channels are the most openly manipulative with channel owners that don't even acknowledge their viewer's comments. Unfortunately, there are even some autistic channel owners who are like that, and I don't watch them, because it is disillusioning; I like to watch autistic content creators to get AWAY from that kind of behavior. And it is almost like "clique" (instead of "click") bait, because it seems that once a channel becomes popular, everybody just jumps onto it even though there are other channels which are just as good or better (and inexplicably do not get nearly as many views). I hate to see autistic people having a clique-ish mindset and behavior; it really makes me sad, because I like to think that we autistic people are not like that. And I agree that it often feels like we live in a weird, made-up world that is about mind control. Enjoying the series!
@@Imagination_lives im happy that your enjoying the series! And that my thoughts make sense! 😁 I made a major push with videos in an attempt to get above the noise and punch through loud. Im being the squeaky wheel getting louder and louder and either ill be noticed or I'm just going to speak louder and louder. 👍 Squeaking id course is me way of saying that I'll be making my best videos and staying engaged with my channel community. I know eventually there is a chance comments may come quicker than i can answer them but thats why I'm making building other bridges to me. That way no one feels left out. And one day I'll have a team too to help me out. I just have no way to afford employees right now. And i know i cant find anyone willing to work for free. Haha. Thanks for the comment! 👍
The neurotypicals seem to be more predatory and parasitic on each other. The best social and financial predators and parasites are held in high social regard and get further rewards. Seems backwards.
@@MVance-k9p It's basically what i noticed too. I learned something new almost every time i go research a nee video.
The "carrot on a stick psychology" of manipulation. Sales are a numbers game. In your case it's a balancing act to appeal to the neurotypical psychology to increase hits but, you don't want to alienate the neurodivergent crowd that you seem to be primarily speaking to.
@@MVance-k9p Yes! Every time i try and strike a balance. If ever i check the comments and see people not responding positively thats usually when i readjust. Im always willing to make a change based on feedback. So i always stay open minded and fluid. Never want someone to feel alienated that would defeat the point of the channel!
Sir, you have a long but rewarding road ahead. We're swimming in a neurotypical sea and trying not to drown. Only a platform for and by neurodivergents would be best in this situation. Then again, you are hooking some of the NTs and they'll come away enlightened.
@ 😁 Thats part of the mission. Trying to reach out and attempt to get through to people who aren't neurodivergent and showing them what it's all about. Hopefully that could spark an organic interest in spreading the information to others who may not be so welcoming to it. I try my best to let things happen organically because i believe that it's the way to make the strongest impact. I know i wont reach everyone and thats ok. And i know along the way i may lose a small amount of support which does happen. But thats fine too. Its not about force but just making the information available. Because there is a small chance that even if someone leaves or decides not to accept it right now later on they might remember the channel and maybe give it another chance. Thank you for the awesome words! 👍 and just hopefully i can manage to keep this momentum going. As long as i have support ill keep going!
Hmmm... I got some of the editing to work. But now the colors are off... I just can't win! haha. Anyways, I hope it was informative!! And I hope you enjoyed this!
More people should read Tony Attwood's books.
I think many people have been conditioned to find and take offense with words. Their problem with the asperger's name is that Hans Asperger was leveraged to work with the Nazi government. But removing or changing the name of the autistic subtype doesn't change the fact that it exists. A rose by any other name is still a rose. Those people want to erase a name and ignore that aspergers exists. Many Nazi scientists were utilized by our country after the war. I don't see those offended individuals erasing the names of people like von Braun. Space x would be nowhere without his work. I don't support nazism or any form government that dehumanizes people. I do support proper and accurate scientific descriptions that help us get proper support.
Well said! 👍
There are 7 types of ADHD. I think some annotation with the numbered levels of autism would be helpful. Such as, 1"A" or 2 "A" for aspergers like symptoms. A need level combined with a descriptive behavior type.
I think this would be helpful! 👍
Cool series so far Leo with different topics and ipiions. I have got aspergers as I was diagnosed with it as a kid and still call it that because habit even though some people have said not to. Its what I have and am proud of it It's part of who I am.
Well said! And thank you! I love it when my work is well received! 👍
I think I would prefer the level chart one through three, but I do feel like it should have subcategories because some functionality may be different at different levels where they might be completely functional and some areas but un functional and others
I hear you! I'm just stirring the pot with this one and trying to encourage conversation! Because I heard from alot of people on this topic and the answer between two people is never really the same. Similarly from experts too. So figured lets up this up in a video and talk about! Appreciate the comment as always. I got 3 more Episodes to complete a 10 episode series and then I'm taking a short break. Trying to see if I can crank them all out before thanksgiving. This way if I'm lucky just maybe they'll be recommended to people in the black friday lines after thanksgiving as they wait for stores to open up. If people are even doing that anymore.
@@leosthrivwithautism would’ve advised to make it a little easier for yourself to give yourself a break. You’re uploading videos too fast and too frequently. This may seem like a nice or good thing to be popping out videos like crazy, but you should take each video and post them every so many days that way you have a backlog of videos that you can upload and depend on when you have a rough day, trust me this helps quite a few people
Still fighting the Audio issue. I lowered in editing but for some reason the audio is louder when it's uploaded. I'll keep trying on the next video to get this right. Hopefully it wasn't too distracting?
Playing the music in the background real time would likely solve the volume issue but, give you problems in editing. Overall the music wasn't very distracting because of the type of music you chose. I thinking choosing tones that compete less with your voice tone works well. Nothing in this world is "perfect", only "good enough". You're doing pretty good work. Keep going.
Thank you!
I’m grateful you’re not one of them. I feel sorry for those people. 🤗Keep going
@@happytiger8 Thank You!
@ you’re welcome 😊

@@TH-camperson1234 i wish i had that ability! Pretty cool. 👍
@@leosthrivwithautism thank you! But it's a blessing and a curse
@@TH-camperson1234 i can understand it! Can relate!
I think research, therapy, and counselling of neurodivergent people would greatly benefit by having more input from neurodivergent researchers, counsellors and therapists. Seems the research is viewed through neurotypical lenses.
@@MVance-k9p thats the plan. A facility for everyone neurodiverse.👍
Music isn't bad. You generally do a very good job. Thanks for being considerate.
@@MVance-k9p thank you!
I see you man. Appreciate the opinion
@@ashleythomas1823 Any time! Alot of people where curious in my honest thoughts and opinions its why i made this series. I have 4 more episodes to finish out a 10 episode series. 👍
This all sounds great-- we definitely need this!
Thank you! All that needs to happen for me to be able to really get this ball rolling is for the channel to generate income. Money that can start being put towards reinvestments and making several things official. It's why I've had my projects tied up all this time. I just have no way to fund it on my own. And youtube doesn't charge to be a creator it's why i started here. It was the easiest way to get a starting path. 👍 But I'm confident as things keep moving eventually it will happen and thats when i can make updates video to show everyone how the money is being reinvested and used. Im giving this all i have! No turning back. I wont give up until it works! Then ill worked harder to keep it going! 🙂
Okay, I missed 1-5 and the one before that. Watching now. Sorry 😶🌫️
Buddy no apologizes are needed! =) Hope you enjoy the videos!
That's Funny I lowered the background music to 1%, But TH-cam boosted it in it's own processing. Hopefully it's not too distracting!

Economy of loneliness, did you know this existed?
Those put others down so that they might climb.
@@jonkas4542 truth!
Maybe helpful to get the attention of other successful autistic creators to help achieve your goal. Paul Micallef, Orion Kelly ....
After several years on the platform I've sent more than 100 emails between so many different professionals and also other channels. Large number of all communication attempts went completely ignored. Few returned back a response saying they are not taking new collabs or didnt show interest in a talk. And others down right considered me a threat in that when i talked to them about licensing their work or asking for permission to use they accused me of being the reason people steal content and said they would report me even when i clarified and told them that i never used anything of theirs i was simply asking permission but after their reply i don't plan on talking to them again. It's why i went my own way and carved out my own path. I knew it would be an uphill battle and a fight to do it alone but hey when you're suppressed and ignored sometimes you have to be louder then the rest to finally get attention. The saying goes "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". The volume of my message is increasing and becoming louder so hopefully one day when the community out their realizes I'm not going anywhere and ive built a true community from the ground up just maybe they will stop seeing me as a threat and decide to work with me. We shall see. 👍
There's a lot of people who acquire a degree immediately act as if they've forgotten everything they've learned.
Agree!
Sanity and behavior are judged by a neurotypical standard. Money and success are a big factor in treatment. The wealthy tend to be called "eccentric " while those without success or money are dehumanized and used as income for the facility holding them.
There doesn't seem to be enough talk about addressing bullying in the neurodivergent groups. Only complaining that it happens. Bringing people together to make changes is necessary. Large numbers of people are needed to demand change.
Completely agree! Good point.
Hey Leo, I agree. I don't feel sorry for bullies. A lot of them come from bad or even abusive backgrounds, but I don't care-- because so did I, and that doesn't give them the excuse to abuse others. Instead of breaking abusive cycles, all they do is perpetuate them by becoming bullies themselves, and for that, I have zero tolerance. Your story about the rocks is interesting, because when I was about 9, some dude on a motorcycle would come down my street and stop and yell obscenities at me because I was on my Big Wheel (a kid's toy) in the street, and he didn't think I belonged on the same street as him. I mean, good grief, I was 9 and this punk was at least 16...anyway, I got sick of it, so one day I hid in the bushes and waited for him, and I had a handful of rocks which I nailed him with as he came by. He stopped to look around and figure out what had happened, and I hauled butt out of there LOL. As a teenager, I handed out a couple of knuckle sandwiches to some bullies and had no regrets about it. Nobody had my back, so I don't look back very fondly on those days. Anyway, I got your back, brother. You're a grownass man now and a survivor!
@@Imagination_lives Thanks! I shared this only as part of the new series. And because i started to have a voice and speaking more confidently about my experiences and why i believe somethings need to be said. The hard discussions need to be had. Sometimes it's not easy. Its difficult. But in my opinion having it, going through it, so hopefully the on the other end there is a reasonable resolution that can be agreed upon. It's the only reason i brought it all up in different videos. I appreciate the comment. It's always valuable to me to hear from my community! Hopefully this is the foundation and start if building the impact i want to make. And also i can only hope that it helps! 👍
This society has it backwards. A victim that manages to protect themselves should be rewarded, not punished.
@@MVance-k9p exactly!
There's nothing wrong with protecting oneself. I've felt bad for having to fight. I've never regretted protecting myself or someone else.
I think many bullies are full of anxiety and fear. They're afraid of not being in a position of power. A bad home life can cause it. Their parents bully them at home. They'll exploit weakness. Not fighting back is not a good idea. Get help from a person in a position of authority if possible.
@@MVance-k9p i see what you mean. Here is the bad part. Multiple times authority was dismissive. Then at other times blamed me for being the one to cause the problem. So just personally I'm indifferent to that option because while i don't disagree, i dont agree either if that makes since. Its a tough on in my personal situation.
I like studying mental health history when it comes to that stuff because a lot of it is pretty horrific. It’s actually quite horror movie. Depends on which time period and how barbaric it was back then and it wasn’t even that long ago we were still shocking people in the head with electricity in a way that legitimately was Ock Ing people if they did something wrong in their eyes of perception so the medical field hasn’t really evolved very fast, but it only recently started to stop some of its barbaric practices wasn’t very long ago. And I can quite literally say this for a fact, and I have no problem saying it because I’m better in the aspects I needed to get better but not because of the mental health industry I took more spiritual path to healing. But mental health facilities here in Central America are joke. The one I went to, when I was suffering from extreme depression and trying to end my life took me in the back of the place. It was sketchy is gonna be nobody was there was not greeted got dropped off in the back of the place like some shady drop off on top of that the place had people constantly screaming , and hitting the walls and me and another guy were sitting there wondering if someone was going to stop the person was breaking through the wall and this is not a joke. This is not an exaggeration. This is not to scare you not all mental health facilities are like this just the one I went to was absolutely a nightmare, if you know you have a family member and you’re gonna help them when it comes to extreme situations where they need immediate mental health assistance. Make sure you do your research about what place you send them to you might do more damage if you send them to the wrong place Me, I made it out of there. And if I had to, I would rather choose going to prison then going into that place. I know my story is not exactly a nice story but in all honesty I’m trying to say something here. The mental health system is very flawed, but there is some places that are actually good. Do your reviews understand what you’re getting yourself into when you send a family member or you send a welfare check as a friend concerned about a loved one make sure you understand the rules the regulations the places the ratings of the places before you do these actions because it’s detrimental to the person who needs treatment. a lot of places are horrible. A lot of places are good, but not every places the same and you might just have all bad around you, be careful remember research and the real work at the real psychology behind. Everything is true most of it. They need some refining but I understand things are slowly getting better. I can say this openly as a way to help people understand I have almost died several times by my own hands, but I tell you this now it’s not worth it. Keep living. Trust me things get better. I have amazing kids now they keep me on my toes every single day, and my children are the best thing in this world. They give me so much meaning and so much life , I could never think about killing myself ever again. I got 2 Boys. They Dr. me nuts and up the wall, but they’re the reason why every day is a blessing my two boys.
What I've read and studied and the reviews all align similarly in many extents to what you described. I which urban explorers. And many times they go to abandoned asylums. They may not be part of the modern day system and run down but seeing the barbaric equipment still left in them is creepy as hell and makes me thankful i was born in this day and age. I don't believe id be around if i was born back then, the system would taken me out. Appreciate the input and as always thank you for sharing your experiences and message it's always valuable to the channel! 👍
You know how I learned or am learning to not be overwhelmed. Make a todo list... I have learned just as you know, everyone has an opinion. What you need to do is look at in a positive way. Example: Before someone would say something I didn't want hear and think that's so stupid. But now, I am learning to look at it as a learning tool and talk with them. Try to figure out why they feel that way. Hate is everywhere but knowledge will always be POWER! You are killing this! You giant hike up the mountain is just about over with! REMEMBER! It is always darkest before dawn! I know this! I am the thing that lurks in the darkness. I can tell you are an amazing dude! Start realizing all the good you have and the rest will start to follow.
Thanks Jay!
Another watch incoming! Forgot to comment! I feel ppl are attacking you for 2 reasons. 1 you are giving them attention and they know it bugs you. Which means you are sad or depressed and that makes them happy because misery loves company. 2nd and the more important one. Bro! You are making a difference! Be happy! The more hate you get! The bigger you are becoming! Keep your head up and remember you ARE NOT ALONE!
@@Djjustb thanks Jay! After i made the 1 video i dropped the subject! I made it only as a voice for everyone that has gone through this and where never heard. Think of it as taking one for the team so to speak. Where i weighed the potential negative this could bring me and decided to make the video anyways. And the video found new supporters and even some who thanked me for making the video. You are right man it did have an impact on me but because ive been through this war before i knew i could take it. So it was as if i was telling others who negative " give me your best shot im still standing here and this video will be herd rather they lile it or not its not going anywhere" 😁👍 When i got it out my system and made it a voice yo be heard by others who might or not wanted their voice public i spoke for them. Sometimes hard topics and subjects need to be talked about they need to be brought out and I've always knew that these were the toughest videos to make and handle. But in a way i felt as thought my trauma and pain of the best made me ready yo fight this. Its been a long time now man where i've attempted many ways to drown out the voice of bullies and everyone seem to tell me that bullies have the right to have a voice and i agree to extent where they have the right to have a voice just not bully others. And since i 14 long long ago the concept of ignoring and they to away never worked. And in my experience ignoring just made it worst. I had bullies who drew blood out of me throwing rocks at me and physically attack me to force a response and when i finally snapped i was put at fault oh i lost man. I was thinking to myself so the same is going to turn and protect the aggressor?? Really?? No im sorry but the injuries he has he earned it. And many years i even lost friends over this situation who kept saying i was in the wrong. And i will never accept that. I followed all advice that was meant to protect me and i got physically attacked for it. And I'm supposed to stand there and take it. Screw that im defending myself and its what i did. And after years of feeling all this and more i finally dealt with it. It felt good. And yes i blocked and reported about another 10 people that came to attack me for that video. I made one video and thats all thats needed. So this way hopefully it attracts the haters and i can report them and them kicked out of here or at least out of my channel so i never hear from them again. Sorry for the long response man its a passionate subject plus i wanted to provide context too. I pick my battles and if its one i think its worth fighting and i know i can win i will fight forcefully. Hope all is well man!
MY GOD BROTHER! You sound so much like me but instead when the bullies threw rocks and drew blood, I picked that rock up and beat the f out of them. 7th Grade was when it all started. That turned into a long road of fighting, joining the military, and more. I was a nerd that grew up in the 80's and 90's. My love for TMNT, Darkwing Duck, & Batman made me an outcast. You are an amazing person! The fact that you have took on so much and are still standing here fighting says it all! No homo... Ok maybe a little bit. I love you bro! You are an awesome dude! Keep it up and omg! I just watch DP & Wolverine and OMG its soooooo good! Hence the quote! @@leosthrivwithautism

Thank you! I have autism and every time i bring it up with my friend, he thinks im making excuses when im not even saying "its because i have autism".
@@TH-camperson1234 This here is exactly why i posted that shorts video. Then followed it with a long form video. Ive had family members treat me this same way. And when i got the comment that triggered the response it was the last straw that lit the fuse. At least for me it was. I couldn't stay silent anymore. I needed this to be said and heard because i know i wasn't the only autistic person experiencing this! Im glad the video resonated with you! Feel free to share it if you want! 👍
I’m on the spectrum ❤
Good to meet you! Thanks for the comment! 😁
Thanks again. Some of us are playing checkers while others are expecting us to play chess.
I've stopped trying to be something I can never be. I'm not "wrong", I am "different". This is parallel developement. Humans will automatically segregate themselves to a high degree, no matter their upbringing or education. It's an instinctual process.
Many times the genetic differences can change a physical presentation. Methylation problems can also change certain aspects of physical development. I think they mainly see that we use our facial and postural communication differently.
I agree. Something in posture, specifically. Maybe related to that collagen disorder thing? But maybe also related to childhood PTSD, and behaviors also seen in abandoned or neglected primates, for example. Or even multiple conditions, which appear similar, because they amount to very similar results.
Autism is a spectrum. How a person presents as autistic varies. How a person presents as neurotypical also varies.
