There was a Facebook meme I grabbed recently with a guy on a bus who had one of those one-liner t-shirts and someone took a snapshot of him while he was on his phone. The t-shirt: "I BELIEVE IN YOU. I also believe in bigfoot so don't get too excited".
1.) Why would you ask me that? 2.) You don't want to know. 3.) We're both currently engaged in the same activity, hence you being able to ask me. 4.) Seriously why ask me this question? 5.) "Not much." - While screaming internally "That's a lie!"
I've not found anything I can't instantly replicate. It often comes across as beginners luck, quick learning, whatever, but once my thinking brain has long enough to overanalyze. That's when i get frustrated as i realise all the steps involved in actually mastering whatever it is im doing... Its either perfection or nothing
Hi, about the childhood: I was made the scapegoat by my family and school mates and everyone. Actually I became the person that I was accused to be for so many years. I was treated as garbage and in the end after years and years I became garbage. If nobody treats you with respect but you are abused and so on, then that might happen. Or you must be a saint.
The remembering X thing that I did or happened at 13 gets worse by some factor whenever someone else (usually a family member) randomly brings it up in group conversations. Happens every zamn time.
@@Autistic_AF I live in a basement-one-room-apartment without balcony on a loud main street. So a garden is a dream in general, and such a big with chicken...I am really jelous, believe me.
My fully functional emotional empathy kicked in by seeing and hearing you laughing about these (I’d already seen most of them and one was even posted by myself). That was so much fun! I also dig the music, it’s SO uplifting. Love it. And your garden too btw. So calming and nice with all the animals wondering about.
Thirteen really is scientifically the worst age! We should fund research to find a way to have that whole year just scrubbed from our memories before we move on to uni, it would save so much on therapy bills.
Bahaha The "vibe attracts your tribe" picture got me good. 😂 Also yes, I say often - You couldn't pay me any amount of money to entice me to revisit high school. Those are (were?) times I am just fine leaving in my past.
Your first cat in the video seemed to have gotten really annoyed at you for not petting them when you were gesturing for quite a bit with your hands, so comical! "Pet me, you big clod!" (Cat noises)
Hi Mike, Hi Jasper, Hi beautiful birds! Thanks for a lovely video. Especially since you said on the Aurora livestream that you wouldn't put out any this week and now there are 2. Yay! It was so wonderful to be out in your garden and watch the chickens and peacock wandering by. The trees and bushes, the little pond with its reflections and your porch swing - all so awesome! A porch swing, you have a porch swing, or I guess in for you it's a garden swing. I almost bought one for my balconcy but settled on an outdoor rocking chair instead. I love rocking and swinging - one of my favourite childhood toys was a rocking horse my grandfather made me. You made me laugh so much in with the memes. Its good therapy! And I am all for that party with special interest T Shirts. So once the Autisticats hivemind invents a teleporter, it is BBQ time in my garden. And don't feel you need words on your T Shirt if you are all worded out, like I get sometimes, a picture will do. I will share a couple of my favourite shirts on the discord.
Hi Pardalote! 🕊️ thank you - and I meant at the weekend - but I’m still happy to have surprised you with extra content! Chairs and seats are so much better with some motion! 🦋
The advice to divide the day into blocks is just genius, thanks, I'll definitely try to implement that. 👍🏻. Regarding T-shirt... I have one saying "It's too peopley outside"... with a black cat. 😂
Awh, thank you, Anne! The red acer behind me is so old. Planted by the previous residents well over a decade ago. It’s only recently started growing (!). 🌱
3:33 I think it’s beautiful to interpret the arts. there’s meaning in everything when you pay attention to the details, you can link so much with evidence. And It’s reflective of life itself, everything exists with intent but is perceived differently by all species. in schools they’re not taught that well, but once I found a way to understand how to find meaning in literature it got so awesome, I was able to apply it everywhere and really utilise my pattern recognition. it just matches my brain so well.
I got teased sooooo often when I had a new interest and couldn’t stop talking about it. “If you still like it in three months time we’ll maybe take it seriously”
Yes! My go-to meal is beans, rice, cheese, and salsa, all mixed up uniformly so the flavor is in every bite and nothing is too dry or too moist. My husband freaks out every time he sees me stirring the heck out of my food, because he’s more about presentation and tasting each individual item. He says my food looks like vomit when I’m done stirring it. To each his own! 😂
It's just me that feels immune to the Dunning-Kruger effect?, I feel incompetent in everything how actually competent in relation to those around me or how many times I've performed successfully a task is irrelevant. I cannot state how incompetent in making a plain cup of tea I feel, and I'm drinking a pretty good one right now...
I have a Trend router I bought about twenty years ago and have never used. I keep buying bits for it in the hope that one day I'll open the box, get it out and actually use it. Maybe we need a use your router day...
@@Autistic_AF It was an impulse purchase, to make centring rings for high power rocket motor tubes. I haven't really been involved in rocketry for a while, so it's sat with all the other rocketry stuff gathering dust. I saw a psychiatrist yesterday, and came away with a positive AuDHD diagnosis, I don't feel quite so bad for not quite having got round to using it.
That’s a really good router. If you’re going to stay in woodworking, you’ll regret getting rid of it. It’s one of the basic woodworking tools everyone should have. I’m speaking as a long-time woodworker.
Hey Joe, I appreciate your comment coming from a legit woodworker! I am much more likely to keep it now (I have a lot of other Makita tools - so it's not a burden to keep stored away for another day). Thank you! -Mike
I am not immune to Loving Videos That Are Meme/Tiktok Reviews. in my defense, that's the only way I see them LOL. Also!!! 10:28 I was super obsessed with the Barbie movie when it came out and I got really into it for 3 months then stopped caring, but people are STILL giving me Barbie-related gifts and I'm like omgggg stopppp I don't care about Barbie or Mattel, I just thought the movie was good and watched it 43 times and wrote a multi-chapter fanfiction
@@Autistic_AF also, my Jasper would never work for the USPSPSPSPSPS. He's way too shy for that. But I love your cats and that you shot this video outside. Hooray for spring!
I've never understood or liked normal mems, but these Autsim and AuDhd meams are incredibly funny :). really related to the "me trying to mask in the store during a sensory overload"😄. The book you have recommended a few times, is it Unmasking Autism by Devon Price?
I want to suggest something here on this channel, and I'm going to suggest it on some of the other prominent "autism channels," too. Here it is, and what do you think about it: could a key aspect of autistic cognition be a relative absence of default, intrinsic, implicit assumptions? I could write paragraphs and paragraphs here elaborating the idea, but I won't. All I'll say is, think about it. And that something about it screams experiential truth to me. (One outgrowth of this would be the intensity of "special interests" which form our experiential framework and cognitive reference points/assumptions.)
Routers are really cool. Maybe watch some example videos and see if it inspires any ideas in your mind, who knows, it may spark you to action, or let you know you're okay with selling it.
"You're too smart to be so stupid" is said to me about once a week by my wife. At this point it's a joke and we both laugh. I will literally flex my 144IQ in one moment and then the very next moment be utterly stun-locked on peeling an apple because my preferred peeler is not where it's supposed to be. How does one peel an apple without their preferred peeler?
LMAO. A funny text message I received from my friend is now immortalized in a meme review.

And in today's half-awake processing... This outro music will from now on be known as: "Ode to Joy, but in pastel"
I read that as, “In Pasta”, which is great, because many things are better in pasta! 🍝
I identify with all these memes. I do have Alexithymia and I’m an introvert. The more I watch these videos, the more I think I may be autistic.
I wish you well with your exploration journey, Evelyn! -Mike 🧡

the 10 000 hours-rule have changed btw, they say you have to do something 10 000 times to get good at something now, not for 10 000 hours :)
Ahhhh, that would make more sense honestly. 🧡
Late identification looking back through different lens and tormenting self. Yes.
Well, it's partly that but also a great relief to finally have some understanding and self-kindness too. -Mike
