People tell me not to use my autism as an "excuse" for my behaviour. I think it's not an excuse but the reason why I act a certain way. Why do people think our reasons are made up excuses???
loulou4811 I have ASD. yes and no, while they're should be acceptance the person with it shouldn't use the diagnosis as an excuse to act like a jack ass.
bdegrds I agree that they shouldn't do that on purpose to be rude to others. But people still have to understand that we have ASD and that we can't do anything about it unless try our best.
The Aspie World My grandchildren ages 6/0 y/o are high functioning, but their father makes them angry...by mocking them, make funny and demand not to jump, move their arms or pace, he doesn't understand autism, and he has not embraced them, none the less their diagnosis...imagine 9 years like that. My grandchildren are being rejected, unwelcome, disrespected and harassed everyday. Can the grow up helthy?
People try to relate to you by saying that they know someone with autism, or that they've seen someone on TH-cam with it. They don't understand what the disorder actually is, and they don't care. They think that they are geniuses because of their one source.
I find that I can communicate with people on different levels. Some people there is no click and nothing. Other people, the energy is just right and there are no barriers and all is well.

People in general including myself when I first found out about Autism only thought about the severe side of the spectrum (classical autism). I didn’t know that it was a spectrum and I didn’t know about Asperger’s, but I educated myself and more people should do that. Anyways I have a question: Why do parents of people with severe Autism believe that people with Asperger’s are different? I mean sure there are a lot of differences, but they’re still within the same nuerotype and they go through similar challenges.
I think you have the best apsergers channel, given what is out there, which menas you could do a lot better. I dont like to be on camera otherwise I would do a video. You should do a video on how we feel like from another planet. social misperceptions, and selective mutism as it relates to aspergers sydnrome
Spot on mate!! ☺ That was the perfect example on how we are all separate people, anyone on the spectrum, isn't necessarily the same as somebody else you know with ASD:) It's like that with me I often appear as a neuro- typical, as most times I don't stim in front of other people, secondly don't stim like a lot during the day, probably is often when I'm anxious, troubled that sort of thing otherwise I may only stim occasionally, sometimes even every now and then, not that much at all 💓 Usually when I stim it's in front of my parents only, them and my best friend, as she knows absolutely everything about me, and worked out what all my quirks mean, could never hide anything from her haha 😅😊 I like it that way though cause I never have to be uncomfortable in front of her she just accepts me as I am : ) Your absolutely right too, just cause we can talk well, and seem more switched on compared to the past, doesn't mean there's no hidden disability there💕 I relate as when I was very small, like 1- 4 years of age I couldn't string sentences together, as I didn't have that understanding then, or awareness that I wasn't the same as the neuro- typical kids, and would have tantrums as I couldn't communicate what I wanted or how I felt, nor understand my parents what they were trying to say, you can only imagine how frustrating that was💓 I got diagnosed at 4 and got help early, so by the age of ten my vocabulary just exploded, and the tantrums lessoned by a lot, cause the awareness and understanding got greater:) It's like yourself or carer (s), and parents can retrain your brain to think, talk or whatever which is why we excell so much today 😊 The only problem is my brother, who is also my twin, moved away from home after High School, being away for 5 years, well he has this absurd view in his mind, because I'm so articulate these days, and don't play up anymore, and seem like a NT person, he has this crazy idea that I've grown out of being autistic now, it's like "Brother you can't grow out of it, and by the way what you see today, is cause my determination that's why I'm so articulate, can't you see that?" No matter what I say I cannot convince him, his not around me everyday anymore, if he was then he'd know, it's still there just beneath the surface, and his response is "But that's in your past now", his so infuriating any tips you have on how I can prove to him I'm still autistic would be great thanks :)👍

Hi just a note, I think you misunderstood one of your questions. I believe the person was asking you to do a video about parents who are actually on the spectrum themselves not parents of children on the spectrum. As a mother with Apergers, I would greatly appreciate a video about that myself as there really isn't much information about being a parent on the spectrum out there at all. Most likely due to stereotypes surrounding Autism and Aspergers.
The Aspie World I am a parent who has autism. Three kids, all grown up, two are probably on the spectrum but not diagnosed although one might be tested soon. I think being married is a big issue because you have to compromise your special interests and do lots of socialising.
Neurotypical people seem (generally) very short sighted when it comes to considering the perspectives of others. It's curious to me that they look at us as being too "within ourselves", when we are often paying more attention than them to the people around us.
HI! I just stumbled upon your videos yesterday. I have a 7 year old stepdaughter that isn't diagnosed however there has been a couple of psychologist friends that have pointed out that she has hints/symptoms of aspergers/autism. I've seen a couple of your videos and it describes practially everything she goes through. I'm not sure about the stimulations yet (I'd probably have to check it out more in detail to see if she really is affected by it) but it's refreshing/relieving to know there are channels dedicated to discuss about this. I'm very interested to know more about this as a parent so I can help out in anyway to make my daughter's school experience a good experience. I kind of know what she goes through because I've been diagnosed with A.D.D. (retentive type) and even though at the time I was diagnosed about 22 years ago and there are teaching methods for ADD, I know that not all teachers and parents are aware of how living with a learning "disability" really affects your day to day life. Thank you for doing this channel!
How do you cope with the concept of feeling retarded? I need to do these things you mention in your videos to make things easier for me and they work! But I feel retarded when I do them because of teasing I witnessed when I was younger and because of what others around me say when They see me do these things.
think you could do a video of authors with aspergers? I know of a few but since I'm currently writing a book myself and a parent of 2 I don't have much time researching it lol. plus I think it would be fascinating to know more modern authors with asd today.
This is one of the main reasons why the DSM collapsed the disorders and the ICD will be doing the same next year. Yes it is very individualistic, but the reason science does the "boxing" is because science does this to everything. When studying something there is a need to classify to the best they possibly can. I've been trying to help with it, by attempting for us to have a voice in the science community. Been trying to write a book about ASD by people with ASD, but as much as I try literally nobody wants to have their voice heard by the doctors and scientists, or at least not write about their experience. I have doctors right now they say that want this book as soon as I am done with it.
Hi. i subscribed to you recently, and was diagnoist with ASD last december. I wanted to now if you have advice on how to be more aware of how loud i am talking? I tend to raise my voice more without realizing if i am in a loud room or am having problems understanding what the other person is saying. I am called out on it alot, whitch annoys me because i am often on overload when it happens.
+Emily Hamilton Hey thanks for subscribing. Good question and a little tip is to put your finger in your ear to block out sound, when doing this it lets you hear your own voice volume.
Another interesting video :) I was actually wondering what your girlfriend thinks about using dimmer switches in the classroom environment to prevent sensory overload due to light in people with autism, and of course if you think this should be a standard?
+adultswithautism Yeah, don't worry about it Steve. I would suggest practicing like learning lines if you like, before marking the video as if you were a movie star.
The Aspie World My brain is just not as quick as yours unfortunately. Unless I have a script my mind is blank. Maybe this is another difference between Aspergers and high functioning? autism which is what I have. love your videos by the way. Steve
Actually that is what he means by being individualistic. When examining our details of our ASD we can be radically different, even if the are categorized the same. Also when Asperger's was a diagnosis, it was a form of high functioning autism, not separate.
The Aspie World Thanks a lot for replying, keep up with the good work! People needs to be educated, especially NARCISSIST PARENTS that have NO regards for their own autistic children

Hi, I'm 27 years old and have High Functioning Autism/ Asperger's. The psychologist who gave me the diagnosis is from another city and a bit expensive, yet she's specialized in autism and developmental disorders. She recommended me a behavior therapist and medication for OCD. I got a local behavior therapist and a psychiatrist for the OCD. But the new therapist told me from session 1 that I don't have Asperger's and in all my sessions, she treats me as a neurotypical. any tips?
Hello I've been goin to cahms for nearly a year with my son. He's just turned 13. They saying he hasn't got autism just wondering can I show u videos of my son and how do I do it I'm not good with technology
Yes! Skills!! Generally I consider a diagnosis, whatever it may be, a huge opportunity to get know oneself and also an opportunity to 'better' oneself, in the sense that someone with autism (myself included) for instance needs to educate oneself and try to develop behavioural and communication skills primarily as to being able to build much stronger and healthier relations (inter and intra-personal relations). It can be very difficult and rather debilitating for someone with Autism to express him/herself if one does not know how communication works and it can cause major issues between those we care about, if we don't have proper knowledge of communicating what we feel and think or describing our actions to others around us. Little note*: Just to clarity the difference between 'intra' and 'inter' terms and why it is important to strenghten our communications skills as both Aspies and Neurotypicals : Communication is a substantial part of our life, whether we say something or not, it automatically conveys a message to the persons surrounding us, because it is inescapable. It can be intrapersonal communication or interpersonal communication. As the term, ‘intra’ means ‘within’, so the communication that takes place within a person is called intrapersonal communication. On the other hand, the term ‘inter’ means ‘between’, so when the communication occurs between two or more persons, it is said to be interpersonal communication. The major difference between intrapersonal and interpersonal communication is that the former is invisible, as it goes in our mind, the latter is visible as it takes place between several parties.
I'm gay and, well, very likely autistic. I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago thinking it would help my confidence with men. Nope, still awkward LOL. It's actually how I put the pieces together and realized I was dealing with more than just social anxiety/shyness. Getting a dx is costly in the United States and it would take a lot of my time so I'm ambivalent about going for one, but I'm glad I at least have a clue now.

loulou4811 I am also autistic .. I have the same question ....
+loulou4811 That's so annoying. People need to understand the condition before making a judgemental statement like that.
loulou4811 I have ASD. yes and no, while they're should be acceptance the person with it shouldn't use the diagnosis as an excuse to act like a jack ass.
bdegrds I agree that they shouldn't do that on purpose to be rude to others. But people still have to understand that we have ASD and that we can't do anything about it unless try our best.
The Aspie World
My grandchildren ages 6/0 y/o are high functioning, but their father makes them angry...by mocking them, make funny and demand not to jump, move their arms or pace, he doesn't understand autism, and he has not embraced them, none the less their diagnosis...imagine 9 years like that. My grandchildren are being rejected, unwelcome, disrespected and harassed everyday. Can the grow up helthy?

I find that I can communicate with people on different levels. Some people there is no click and nothing. Other people, the energy is just right and there are no barriers and all is well.
Thanks for the shoutout! 😀 Great video! We will get there one day with people realising how to fully support those on the spectrum :)

I have learnt that people think of me as a 'weirdo genius'. But I feel like I'm just the weirdo.
+Vishva Kumara You should just take the genius part!
Dude, I love your hair! That blue looks awesome on you. And I also love your eyes, cause your irises sometimes look like marbles.

it was so good to talk to you and ask questions on live stream I would love for you to do it again.

could you do a video on classic musiciens and autism ? :D
+Melina D That's not a bad idea!!
I like to play classical music and video game sound tracks (Tetris)
Spot on mate!! ☺ That was the perfect example on how we are all separate people, anyone on the spectrum, isn't necessarily the same as somebody else you know with ASD:)

Also I love when you say ‘what’s going on with my hair?!’ Oo XDD
Please refrain from using the "r" word. It offends some people. Mentally challenged or intellectually disabled are more appropriate terms.
