Thanks!

@ you're welcome!

Aww thank you 🥹❤️

Aww thank you ❤️ she’s my buddy

Aww I’m so glad it was meaningful to you!! Thank you :)

Haha thank you ✨😂

I agree with you actually! The video is actually why I think we shouldn’t be cancelling her for sharing her thoughts and opinions ☺️

@@emmascottagecorner diva! love this x

I revised the title since it seemed to be misrepresenting my stance :)

@@emmascottagecorner i think that's a suitable idea! the poor girl has been shot to fame and regardless to anything - she is trying her best to survive! imagine growing worldwide basically overnight.. she is sure to slip up etc, but she hasn't done anything for you to make a clickbait title tbf! people read headlines and run with them, and that is what this suggested too!

The whole video is actually me sharing why I think we should be NOT cancelling her by answering the question in the title since everyone seems to be on a hate campaign

Yes I absolutely agree :)

I think the misunderstanding is so broad and drop that even clinicians can be grossly uninformed, as was the case here in my opinion. You’re going to get through the loneliness and find a group of people who love you for who you are ❤️

Yep and the scariest part is that it’s coming from the mouth of a clinician… she was reading directly from the doctor’s notes which shows how misinformed even mental health professionals can be.

My understanding is that he was diagnosed when Asperger’s Syndrome was still a recognized mental condition prior to 2013 when the DSM-V was published. I don’t know if at the time the concept of oxygen deprivation was conflated with diagnosing autism or not, but it’s since been proven that it doesn’t “cause” autism. Regardless the fact that the doctor withheld the diagnosis is very concerning to me, as it should’ve been changed to ASD as far as I know (though I’m not a medical professional).

After researching a bit, I saw people saying this as well.

@emmascottagecorner I can't remember who it was about but the had some awful borderline personality disorder beliefs and another that was just factually wrong about dissociative identity disorder. It wouldn't take much to look into a disorder before saying something awful about it or ignorant

@@Chelsea-ph6cs yea I totally agree and also saw comments about BPD and DID

Same same same

Aww hi and thanks for sticking around ❤️ im so glad I was able to articulate the topic in a way that others felt heard

Thank you! I sincerely find it difficult to believe he’s an expert simply because of the misinformation. I feel like there needs to be some sort of accountability there.

Aww thank you! She’s always happy to be involved :)

I appreciate this! Of course, I’m glad it helped.

Yeah I feel so sad for her and her family right now. I’m praying that they can take the time they need to heal and grieve.

So I have a bit of a weird perspective in that regard because I’m 22 and have been married for 3 years 😂 we were very thoughtful and had lots of support and wisdom to go on though and from the beginning it was healthy. In most cases that just doesn’t happen, especially if there’s underlying trauma or mental illness that hasn’t been addressed. Regardless, I think my biggest issue was the idea that autism automatically means you can’t learn from past experiences because that’s just not the case.

@@emmascottagecorner I've been married since I was 22 and we just came up on our 20th anniversary lol here's hoping y'all get to celebrate a 20th too! And yea my bestie is autistic and she is one the most analytical people I know, and basically embodies..... none of what that gal was saying. And her diagnosis is on paper and everything. A lot of what she was describing is standard young people stuff. Like to the point of being super common TV tropes. It's like she doesn't understand autistic people OR neurotypical young people. Like how many people must she have misdiagnosed if she conflates youth and autism?

Yep I think a lot of it has to do with stereotypes that aren’t rooted in reliable info so it’s important to push back on that narrative.

Thanks for the compliment :) I appreciate your questions & see where you’re coming from! I don’t think my struggles are the same as anyone else’s (autistic or not), but I do think they’re similar & often arise from the same root cause. I’ve had many conversations with people who base their understanding of autism on unreliable/outdated information. My goal with this video is to express that autism is not JUST those stereotypes, & is often radically different than what people think. It’s not a competition, but there are autistic people who struggle more than myself. I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to share content so that I can open up space for questions like yours to be asked. While I may not have as many struggles as someone who is nonverbal, for example, the point I’m trying to make is that autism can look drastically different in each individual, but it also has to consist of a number of observable diagnostic criteria (& I think many people have a skewed idea of the criteria that diagnoses someone as autistic). One thing people aren’t always aware of is that many autistic people feel the need to suppress autistic behaviors to blend in. For example, many of my autistic behaviors were either not observable or were suppressed during filming out of habit. What’s people can’t see by watching this is that I spent 4 hours filming because I couldn’t tell if my facial expressions or tone of voice were correct, I constantly had to take breaks to move around, & so many other things that wouldn’t be clear unless we were communicating in person. I don’t think you were saying that I’m not autistic by any means, but I wanted to share some examples of things that aren’t so obvious just by looking from the outside :) I know my answer was long-winded, but I wanted to try and explain things as best as I could. I respect your thoughts and hope I was able to articulate my own in a way that makes sense ❤️

To add to this great response: I am sure you meant well in the OP comment, and so I would like to add some insight. Expressions like “I wouldn’t have thought you were autistic unless you had said so” and (the way I interpreted it, correct me if I’m wrong), “which is surprising, cuz you just made such an eloquent video” seem to stem from encountering smth that doesn’t jive well with a certain idea or preconception we may have about smth (in this case autism). I think it’s natural that thinking “this doesn’t fit into this box, but my views may also be limited (due to experience e.g.), so maybe I need to change the kind of ideas I put into this box” is difficult to adhere to, and also natural to say “this doesn’t fit into this box, so I’ll question it” (which is part of being critical!), but I do think it’s important to be aware of it and try to assess when which one is fitting. It’s also why when a friend of mine said that they wouldn’t have thought I was autistic when I told them, I just said “well, maybe you have a different idea of what autism is”, and then (tried my very best) to explain what it does entail. It’s so very hard to know everything, but it’s nice when people are open to learning, just like you seem to be! :)

Well said :)

Yeah I totally hear you! I agree that it definitely wasn’t them directly saying it, but I do wish they’d researched a bit more before spreading such harmful misinformation. I’m hoping they address it in the next episode since a lot of people commented about it

@@emmascottagecorner Unfortunately, with the passing of Adam that was made public a few hours ago, I don't think they'll be addressing this.

@@IOrganiseContentUK I honestly get that, and think right now the health and safety of themselves and their families is the most important thing right now.

Aww that’s so fun!! What are their names? Mine are Goose, Howard, and Kevin and *yes* they’re all girls 😂

@@emmascottagecorner Aw I love those names! Mine are Gullu and S’mores I actually have a TH-cam channel for them too!

Ahhh thank you!! I will absolutely be making some videos about rock tumbling. There are more coming very soon ☺️ is there anything specific you’d like me to talk about?

They ended up being peaches, which makes sense why the pits look the way they do. I’ve never seen almond pits in person, so I wasn’t too sure in the beginning but once the fruit really started maturing (not shown in video) it was clear :)

I actually made it myself. These are tumbled fossil fragments and have impressions of crinoids, brachiopods, and horn coral. It’s hard to tell because they’re so small, but they’re definitely fossils.

Thank you 🤩❤️

Thank you so much! I’ve been working on ideas of ways to save the fossil fragments that I create whenever I’m prepping a bigger fossil and I thought this was the perfect way 🫶🏻

@@emmascottagecorner love it❤❤😊

Thank you!!!

Yes I love doing this!

I totally just saw this! Thank you 🤩 I can’t take credit though because my neighbor planted the tree originally. I hope my tomatoes grow back too 🫶🏻 silly groundhogs

For sure!!

Thank you so much 🥹❤️

Honestly I just didn’t wanna buy a fancy pole but I like the look of the sticks!

@@emmascottagecorner My living room is decorated with branches, some big.

Thank you! It was a quick fix but I’m so happy I tried it instead of going out and buying something ☺️😂

‌

What kind of dogs do you have??

I don’t personally like eating it but my guinea pigs love it!

@@emmascottagecorner it's good miss what's ur fav salad dressing

I definitely will! I haven’t decided exactly what I’m going to put in them yet 🤩

@@emmascottagecorner I think it would be a nice spot for some tomatoes if you got trellises or kale varieties

@@hopecorron I do have some trellises so that might be a good option!!

Yeah I normally don’t do any caffeine. I’m neurodivergent too so that’s part of where the sensory issues come from 🫶🏻

@@emmascottagecorner thanks good you don't drink that much

It is! It’s very subtle and floral so I think it’s perfect for lemonades and teas 🫶🏻

Use it to soak cakes (instead of alcohol) when making puddings with cream.

@@fabiennemitchell2371 ooh that sounds really good! I’ll definitely have to try it.

I’m in central Ohio ✨
