as a frenchman with autism, i can say two thing: first, the joke is perfectly accurate. second, i have come to a diagnosis and this guy is definitely a person with englishness.
I just imagined a doctor looking very grave as if about to deliver some terrible news and saying to some bloke “I’m sorry, sir, but it seems you have a severe case of… Englishness.” Which, considering England’s history, would be a tragedy indeed.

I am autistic, and I do enjoy comedy, I just don't laugh out loud very often. Except, "she's French, but not severely French". 10 out of 10 for the lead up to that joke.
I didn’t laugh out loud as a kid other than the times I had uncontrollable unbearable giggle fits, until I practically trained myself to. For me I feel it did eventually become real and genuine but I feel the sentiment dtill
I fully don't understand what is even weird about a kid saying "goodbye kids and grownups"? Like, what even is the "correct" way of saying that? And also, this is a kid?? Isn't it already quite normal for kids to be creative and different than adults?
To me the ‘odd’ part is making the distinction between kids & grownups, when they’re being told the same thing I.e, it’d be more common to hear “goodbye everyone” …unless there was a perceived 3rd cohort at the party who was explicitly *not* being farewelled…😂 But then my autistic ass never really understood the social difference between kids vs adults anyway 🤷♀️
The mother is projecting. She is too concerned that her offspring will not be socially accepted by other parents with this quirkiness/difference/creativity and is making amends beforehand and thus over-correcting which will also make the kid stand out among peers, and ironically also possibly lead to bullying... 🙈
I mean, she said she was a person with Frenchness, but my neighbor's cousin's hairdresser has a 5-year-old son who suffers from Frenchness and she doesn't act anything like him at all... I'm just saying. 🤷🏻♀
I am a well meaning parent that has always used severe because I thought it described the intensity of disregulation my child experiences without, and sometimes with, significant support. Now I'm wondering if using intense would be a better word.
No, it is not better. Autistic people guide us to just use autistic. There is no such thing as intense or severe autism. The disregulation can have the same intensity, regardless of how it manifests. Same goes for communication. You are not more or less autistic based on how you communicate. Best wishes - another well meaning parent.
I am a parent of autistic people. I am also an autistic person. Each of us have areas or things we cope better or worse than each other. On the surface, I can *appear* almost *unaffected* by autism. On the surface, one of my now adult kids can seem *very* autistic. We are all autistic. Do you describe a diabetic as ‘a bit diabetic’? Probably not, although you might see differences between how diabetics manage their diabetes. Autism is not a competitive issue where someone’s capacities are better or worse than someone else’s. All autistics have attributes/ challenges/ presentations that differ from each others, but are also significantly different to the issues, attributes and presentations of ‘normies’. And no, just because there’s a so-called ‘spectrum’ of autistic traits, doesn’t also correlate to “everyone being a bit autistic”. Our brains are wired differently to yours. Our brain architecture is different to yours. But, just like “you”, we experience as much diversity within our ranks as any other human population. As the saying goes, “You’ve met an autistic person! You have met One autistic person!” This is not a dig at you being a well meaning parent, but hopefully a way of you reevaluating your mindset. And as a neurotypical person, no doubt you also experience times of disregulation, frustration, etc., that don’t make you a mild/ moderate/ severe neurotypical… because as a neurotypical, you can ascribe those feelings as the result of a hard day, bad news, fatigue…. Keep learning and supporting your child. 😊
@spiralpython1989 I think that the brevity of my comment probably allowed you to assume things about my perspective. Also, thank you for your superior mindset and description of autism. While I don't feel the need to explain the details of my perspective or how my childs autism impacts their day. I do feel the need to add a modifier to Autism to differentiate my childs experience from the stereotypes that so many people have. I suppose it's best to assume that I'm not an ignorant neurotypical, but someone's who is dedicated to understanding my wonderfully complex and competent child, as well as the ever-changing techniques their therapist use. Trust me, it's possible to require an intense level of care (management), and still have intense disreguualtion.
There is actually a lot of disagreement on terms in the autistic community. Most importantly is your intentions. We all prefer someone who is kind and well meaning and uses outdated terminology than a bully that uses the perfect terms. Though I do agree, "severe" doesn't sit right. A term I tend to use is "highly autistic". Depending on the individual, it could be helpful to describe specifics such as "non verbal autistic". There is no consensus on what is the best way but it's best in general to avoid terms that infer autism to be a bad thing. Lots of people wouldn't question their language, even when they're told it may not be right, so you're doing great I'm sure!
I'm hearing ya. Diagnosed, by the algorithm. Here because of it. Essentially. Identify as a Frenchman but not severely. This guy is seriously funny. Mark Normand is too.
How mean of the parent to tell their child that waving and saying Goodbye Kids and Grownups was wrong! I smiled and thought How sweet! before they even labeled their child. I'm also on that same "spectrum" and am really funny according to some people who get my particular severity of humor.
Enjoyed the routine but just couldn't get over those two women putting their feet on the stage. Shows what a super nice comedian he is that he didn't say anything about it.
Autistic people don't like "person with autism" though. It makes it seem like a disease. We like Autistic person because it's so important to who we are?
Agree. I feel like "person with autism" is probably preferred by people who have a medical model of autism; i.e., that it can be "caused" or "cured". I don't HAVE autism, I AM autistic.
Terrible title and thumbnail. Looked annoying and boring and literally only started because I was forced to use the TH-cam app due to using someone else's phone and the TH-cam literally doesn't work and clicked on this video for me.
@ReiSutoikku I thought you were taking umbrage at someone expressing a point of view without prefacing it with "this is just my point of view" I'm not sure who you thought he was speaking on behalf of.

The French analogy was amazing.
More of this guy, please and thank you.
Goodbye kids and grownups.
The way he structured the build-up of the French joke was like a proper application of a musical Rest.
A pause in the laughter and then IMPACT.

As an autistic person I'd like to say your bits about autism is the best material about autism I've ever heard.
Love the way the jokes were set up!
crazy to think how different the timeline would be if hans asperger had told a single good joke once in his life
Still annoys me he doesn't get the proper credit for diagnosing autism.
@@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSEthe nazi?!!!!
ahhahah as a late diagnosed french person myself i really appreciated this
Okay, but are you a high-functioning person with Frenchness or a Parisian?
Me like. Very, very funny. Gently reeling me in and then hitting me with a zinger. Off to find more stuff from him 👍🏻
This is the first time hearing your material and already a fan! Incredibly true, smart and made me laugh out load 😂😂😂 You rock! ❤❤❤
Very clever comedy, and I watch hundreds of hours comedy
Well. That was some damn good writing. Nice work!
Very funny. As a fellow autistic, I related to some of the jokes he made.
True autism has never been tried. We have nothing to lose but our trains!

@@LightCoreDragon it's a joke about the way some people talk about communism.

Does the joke involve trains?
@@LightCoreDragon yes

Thanks Dave! That’s was so great I’m going to send it to my psychologist 😂
You're a beautiful funny man!!!
Absolutely hilarious

I'm autistic and would be delighted if my future child said goodbye to a room full of people that way. 😆
I'm unseverly autistic so I know the correct answer is goodbye grownups (children can't speak for themselves therefore it is rude to speak to them)
They arent ruined yet. Thats why
To me the ‘odd’ part is making the distinction between kids & grownups, when they’re being told the same thing I.e, it’d be more common to hear “goodbye everyone” …unless there was a perceived 3rd cohort at the party who was explicitly *not* being farewelled…😂

In America, Baristas have all kinds of degrees!
That one did make me giggle. One of my co-workers is autistic and has a theatre degree. (Neither of us is a barrista, though)
It’s a joke about what is the most common though and that’s theatre degrees. It’s a joke.
saw about 10 shows at the fringe, joe's king of the autistics had to be the best one (and it was free!)
AMAZING
This was so fun 😂😂

Personally I just don’t like it when one says “autist” like it’s a role or occupation.
What if it's used as a portmanteau of autistic and artist?
Imagine an autist flautist? Or is it a person with flautism?
Without those medical advances where would we be?
Autistic people don't like "person with autism" though. It makes it seem like a disease. We like Autistic person because it's so important to who we are?

TBH I ignored this video's recommendations a few times and basically had nothing else. But it was a great set. I'm glad I overcame the lame thumbnail.
It's a bit difficult understanding what he's saying with that accent and cadence.
@ReiSutoikkuhe's obviously only describing his own experience. Get off your high horse.

I'm not sure who you thought he was speaking on behalf of.
At least he's not French
He suffers from Englishness, but at least it's not severe Englishness.
