Any other Aspie find extremely difficult to watch something new, like a TV show or anime and even movies; then you just end up watching the same shows you watched as a kid! 😅
Ya me
But With spongebob
I've been wanting to talk about this, so I'd like to know what you think. During my freetime I put my headphones in, listen to music, and pace back and forth while also playing with a yo yo, flipping (doing tricks with) a butterfly knife, or karambit training knife while completely zoning out not paying attention to what's going on daydreaming about things, and imagining I'm somewhere else. I know it's super wierd and I don't let really anyone know that I do that. I don't know what's wrong with me. I also go outside and do tricks with nunchucks while at the same time my mind wanders somewhere else. I don't know what's wrong? When I'm out in public at the store my mind wanders elsewhere while i'm walking and I think about other things, my mind thinks really fast sometimes switching between different things and then getting stuck on one thing this happens to me just about every minute of the day.
@@christianwarner3360 BRO! I do that all the time! I go outside and swing on the swing that my parents got me for my birthday. I do it all the time for almost everything! Feeling sad: swing, feeling angry: swing, feeling really intense and happy: swing! I’m not as cool as you with knives and yo yo tricks, but I do get where you’re coming from.
@@cosmic_seabunny I used to swing on the swing set when I was in Elementary School and do that.
Honestly this is me and my brain trying to find something new. I don’t watch anime and the only anime I ever watched as a kid and even now is Hoshii no Kaabii. Sometimes I even feel boring because it takes me so long to even have one new thing to be interested in it because when I am interested in that thing (like SCP Foundation), I am at it for years and years on end.
My mom cried when i got diagnosed at 15, i was diagnosed with high functioning asperger (and anxiety due to being diagnosed so late)
High functioning aspergers isent a thing, aspergers is just enougher word for high functioning autism so saying "high functioning aspergers is like saying "high functioning high functioning autism" and i think we can both agree thats not a thing right?
There needs to be a definite cure for this disorder I don't give a fuck what people say about their disorder being blessed it's more like living under a curse
I don't remember my parents cry when they figured out I have autism but they expet me in the way that I am and I'm grateful for that. that's also way I don't like being in places where they are only people with disabilities whether its autism or not. becuse I really high functioning and also because I'm an intervort autistic and someone with anxiety disorder its pretty difficult for me to cantrol my emotions and also I don't want to hurt anyone so I sometimes not talking about things because I'm afraid of being judged and make someone upset and then I'll get anxiety wich just the thought of that make me feel much more anxious than before.
@@Voucher765 bruh you cant cure autism lmao
@@Voucher765 you cant cure autism because its based on how a whole part of your brain is wired, its not because of a failure in a specific area
I've personally found that autism is less of a disorder and more of a wavelength. Like, since I have aspergers, most of the people I become friends with are also on the spectrum. It's not that we're bad at social interactions, it's that the norms that society has created for social interactions only fit people who aren't on the spectrum.
I mean it IS a disorder... there's just many forms and takes of it that kinda jumble around like a wavelength... If that makes sense? High functioning autistic/adhd kid here
also when people tell you you aren't autistic for [reason] hurts a lot, and I hope i never have to experience it again
@@rampantbuckler818 I'm not saying that you're not autistic, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. Of course it's awful, but the reason it's awful isn't because of something fundamentally wrong with your brain. It's awful because of the fact that society is designed for people who aren't on the spectrum. Something like OCD is a disorder that impacts your ability to function because of what it does to your brain, whereas autism is considered a disorder because of how others perceive you. The difference is that if everyone in the world had OCD, society would function in a very different way, and life would be way harder. If everyone had autism, society would function pretty much the same, only social interactions would be different.
@@TodosLocosOfficial by no means were you disqualifying my autism, I think we just both misunderstood each other. I was mostly just in disagreal with your statement and was trying to put my opinion in, sorry if that came in weird... not very good at social stuff...
@@rampantbuckler818 Ha yeah, me neither
@@TodosLocosOfficial hello, i have asd and adhd and i think that if everyone had autism it was very different.
For example, i have trouble talking to everyone and i dont just mean people but cashiers, people that idk but say hello on the street and other kids in class. i have friends but just 3 or 4. Others people have like 10 friend on birthday parties and i always have around 3, other people like stickers and im literally afraid of them, like, i dont want to see them or i'll cry (im 14 and that part is true. for if you dont believe me)
I'm autistic, and my characteristics include:
-odd speech quirks. When I was younger, I didn't just say "How was your day?" I said "How was your day-ay?" Even now I have minor echolalia like saying "yep" randomly when I'm happy. I also may speak too loudly at times and when I was little I couldn't really whisper.
-I stim quite a lot. Usually wiggling my fingers, hand flapping, pacing, and occasionally even jumping when excited.
-I can talk at length about my interests. I can talk up a storm about video games or books I've read but have difficulty talking about stuff outside of those. Usually I might swing the conversation back to my interests.
-Poor hand writing. Don't even get me started about cursive.
-Sound sensitivity. I swear my ears actively seek out the smallest noise even when everything is silent.
Honestly this video was just to relatable for me. Always great to hear autistic voices talking about their own experiences.
Furry gang
Oh fuck the handwriting. Right. Its come to the point where i can no longer write stuff at school cause theres no point to it.
Okay, the thought of going "Yup." to nobody in the room when you're happy is hilarious in a good sense.
i’ve been diagnosed with adhd but i also think i’m on the autism spectrum. i have ok hand writing but my cursive is TERRIBLE, it’s understandable (to an extent) but it doesn’t look write... haha look at that pun... anyway it just looks like regular writing with lines connecting it. i just can’t get my fingers to understand the motion. i get so stressed when someone writes in cursive too cause i can’t really read it
@@crow_aj hah my cursive is fucking atrocious. I can kind of get away with the other one tho.
I'm not diagnosed with Autism but I do have some traits of it. Like I'm VERY socially awkward, doesn't really talk much but will talk about things I like A LOT, paces up and down in my room while listening to music, and other somewhat weird things.
If someone tells me their name, their personal info, and the fact that they like chicken nuggets just to befriend me, there is a one MILLION % chance that they're gonna be my closest friend
Chicken besties 4 life ✊
What about pork tho?
That shit's goooooood. (In the right quantity, as all things are.)
@Welp If you have too much of it, it does get old. But if you only have it on thanksgiving, it's fucking heaven!
@@DesolateLavender agreed, I stopped eating pork for like a week then had some recently and it felt G O D L Y. I was like hmm it’s like chicken buuuut steak too? Wait-
@@DesolateLavender I don't really like pork, unless it's pulled pork, because it almost always comes out very dry and tasteless. I have a similar problem with chicken, but chicken isn't as bad.
I can 100% relate to this.
I have Asperger Syndrome too.
Same
same
I have pdd... and I'm a really high functioning person so I can relate to that...
Same 👋

My grandparents asked if I would grow out of it after being diagnosed at 11. Lmao. Everyone thought I would get worse now I had a diagnosis and that I would never be able to function due to my high impulsivity, coming close to being expelled several times. All the sr. management at my school didn't want me there and tried to force me into their extremely expensive Autistic branch school. They all though I would fail. But right now I've been accepted to study Geology and Earth Sciences at a masters level at one of the best Universities in the U.K and am well on track to getting the grades for a full place.
nice dude
"high impulsivity"
Sounds like ADD to me.
"coming close to being expelled several times."
Sounds VERY much like ADD to me. >_>
"and tried to force me into their extremely expensive Autistic branch school."
Wouldn't help much for ADD, lol.
This stuff drove me nuts when my son was diagnosed, high functioning autism with a mild developmental delay. He was 2 when we found this out. People in my family acted like he would live with me the rest of his life and never be able to have a job. I had to tell them he will always be autistic, but that doesn't mean he can't live a mostly normal life.
Thats great!
There's nothing wrong with you. It's them who refuse to understand. It's on them, not you.
This is why segregation is terrible across all criteria, not just color and gender, but disabilities.
when i heard of this term for the first time at like 9 years old i genuinely thought it was called "ass burgers" and eventually like 2 years later i realized how dumb i was
In the UK we pronounce it diferently and much more sensibly. We pronounce the "As-" like "as"/"az" rather than like "ass" and the g in -"asbergers" more like a "J".
I thought it was "Azburgers" when I was little. Trying to explain what it was to my classmates when I was 7 was hard 😅
Reminds me of that one South Park episode
Ass burgers lol
@@alternative7586 lol same
Although only having been diagnosed with ADD, I find it comforting to know there are people able to open up about their experience with their neurodiversity (Tourette's, ADHD, ADD, Autism, etc) in a lighthearted, but informational, way. Keep it up! I love content spreading awareness/sharing stories of living with neurodiversity 💞
Sorry if it's personal but how was your experience having ADD around your family? My parents took me to an elite psychiatric hospital and found out that I have ADD and a pretty decently high IQ as a 5 year old. They disregarded the ADD part and was convinced I was normal; maybe even a "prodigy" in the making. But I can see that my IQ has dwindled for the past few years lol
Needless to say I was bullied by my peers for not recognizing social cues, and I forgot to do a hefty ton of hw. It's a miracle I graduated.
If there's anyone who thinks I'm faking it, there was a document containing my diagnosis and treatment.
@@tasya3771 IQ tests are overrated. You can be gifted and yet have passed your IQ test with a "basic" score. When I was 5, people thought I was gifted because I could count in three languages, could read and write. Diagnosing a kid with giftedness with only an IQ test is not the good way. People who have been diagnosed with a disorder such as ADD/ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, etc. often have another disorder tied to it tho. I don't think it is possible for one's IQ to get lower unless that person is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease or a head injury...
@@LocalGremlin104 yeah I get you. I don't really care much about iq anyway lol
Unrelated but who made your profile pic? I love the colors

I have Asbergers and I can't even tell you my quirks. My parents just laugh and say "such an Asperger thing to do" sometimes and I don't know what or why, and other people I tell answer stuff like "I couldn't tell at all".
The only thing I see really is how people generally avoid hanging out with me, without me able to tell why.
people scare me but being alone is also scary
Im autistic ._.
@@rampantbuckler818
Loneliness doesn't scare me. I've had no one to talk to for 5 years at least of my entire life, but myself. I was made fun of for a short while because when someone asked me what I do after school I answered "sleep" and after that go back to school (where I mostly just waited for school to be over and stared at my desk, after I learned that teachers would humiliate you if you showed any interest in the subject).
The scariest thing now is that, eventho I'm out of this hell, it just reminds me of compfort because I've gotten so used to being lonely.
If my mind wouldn't be stronger than my instincts I would have probably pushed all my new found friends away for good already.
I don't know how to be with people I only know how to be lonely.
As someone with ADHD i can tell you i think autistic people are great.
They can be a bit weird, but honestly if i'd tell you all the weird stuff i did in my live that i really should feel ashamed for (i guess) you wouldn't even think about your own quirks anymore.
I surrounded myself with all sorts of people with mental issues and disorders and it makes for fun and understanding friends.
The most important thing is to be comfortable with who YOU are first and others will follow suit, or they shouldn't be in your life in the first place.
Just remember there is ALWAYS someone that will like you, some people just need to get through more shit people than others :)
then make them more uncomfortable than avoiding you is worth; be direct and controtational.
I appreciate you coming out and telling people about this, I suffer with this same deal, but it's a little more pronounced, I use the 'crutch' of "doctor scribble" with my handwriting, I'm 30 and living with this is never easy but again thanks for posting, I subbed for you dude and like the animation and your cadence is good dude
thx dude 😊
Yeah I legit can’t write with my hand if my life depended on it, but I’m great at typing.

Grew up with an older sibling who has aspergers, it was pretty hard, but as a teenager I at least hold a greater understanding of what he was going through, I just wish I'd developed a thicker skin and more empathy before he moved out, because as I found out through his visits home, he's a pretty cool guy to hang out with, and talented on many fronts
Still not too late to hangout with him! I think he’d appreciate it too! 💛
Here's my aspie story.
When I was 15 months old, my legal guardians saw something was wrong with me. I would walk around the house and touch things along the way then go back and touch the same things. When I had fits, my guardian mom would try to pick me up and cuddle me, but I didn't want that. I've always been a quiet person and preferred being alone with my properties. My legal guardians needed to get me checked on immediately. They took me to the pediatric and a couple of them diagnosed me with Autism. My LGs decided to take me to have sessions with special doctors until I started school. Even my school teachers knew I had problems, so they helped me out a lot. I've been taking weekly or monthly speech sessions at school ever since Kindergarten.
That's all. I'll update it later when I get the opportunity to.
Please update. You said you would 😢
@@FluffyEclairs Thanks I will but I still don't know what to update it with
This is a really good video! I really enjoyed the art and the way you explained things :)
Thank you ^^
@Sarah E
He made errors that need to be corrected. For one thing, Asperger's Syndrome is actually the same thing as high-functioning autism.
Information regarding autism(AKA autism spectrum disorder(ASD for short)):
Autism is a neurological/developmental disorder/disability.
There are 3 levels of the autism spectrum, which are high-functioning autism(AKA Asperger's Syndrome, mild autism, and Level 1 Autism)(which I have), medium-functioning autism(AKA moderate autism and Level 2 Autism)(An autist on this level has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. Think of Forrest Gump, Raymond Babbitt from the movie 'Rain Man', or Arnie Grape from the movie 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'.), and low-functioning autism(AKA severe autism and Level 3 Autism)(An autist on this level has the mental capacity of an infant, a toddler, or, at most, a 4-year-old.).
Regardless of an autist's cognitive functioning level, they are twice-exceptional, which means that they are both mentally disabled and gifted, with them having weaknesses in some areas and strengths in others.
There are a number of symptoms that an autist can have, including having restrictive & repetitive behaviors, having intense interests, having issues with social interactions(which may include being unable to pick up on social cues and/or being unable to pick up on sarcasm), and having difficulty with or being unable to understand social & societal norms. Some autists either have weak cognitive empathy(AKA empathic accuracy and theory-of-mind) or completely lack it(completely lacking it is referred to as "mind-blindness"). There are things that autists may be more or less capable with than non-autists, including math(which I royally suck at), multi-tasking(which I royally suck at), and memorization(which varies with me). There are conditions that a lot of autists have in addition to autism, including ADHD(which I had as a kid) or ADD(which I have had since middle school), OCD(which I have a mild case of), anxiety, depression, epilepsy, prosopagnosia(AKA face-blindness), phonagnosia, which is the auditory equivalent of prosopagnosia, and hypotonia, which affects muscle tone, muscle strength, motor skills, and stamina.
Autists tend to have sensory issues. For example, many autists are sensitive to loud noises(I have this issue) and there are autists who either have a stronger-than-usual sense of smell that keeps them from eating certain foods(I usually can't eat macaroni-&-cheese if it's been made with cheddar cheese), have the opposite problem, or have both problems at different times. For example, I normally have a stronger-than-usual sense of smell, but there are times when I can't smell things that other people around me can smell. It's a very strange experience. More examples regarding sensory issues are that plenty of autists can't stand having tags on shirts that they wear(I have had this problem since I was little) and that plenty of autists can't stand the sensations that certain fabrics cause them to have on their skin, which affects the clothing that they can wear.
Some autists naturally speak in a monotone voice, lack variation in speech when it comes to tone, pitch, and accent, either have difficulty with or are incapable of distinguishing voice tones, and either have difficulty with or are incapable of verbally & facially conveying their emotions in ways that don't come off as exaggerated and cartoonish. Some autists are tone-deaf. Many autists often speak loudly without realizing it until whoever they are talking to points it out to them(I have this issue).
Some high-functioning autists(AKA aspies) are so high-functioning that a normal person would have to spend a lot of time with them to notice any of their autism symptoms. Some high-functioning autists and some medium-functioning autists(For example, Raymond Babbitt from the movie 'Rain Man'.) have an advanced form of twice-exceptionalness called Savant Syndrome, which makes it so that they are much more skilled in memory, math, art, music, and/or spatial skills than a normal person.

I am not formally diagnosed with Aspergers but wow you just described me, like literally everything. Growing up I have always had trouble socially and always had an extremely different thought process to everyone I know. Am I the only one?
Nope. I figured out I likely have Aspergers about a year-and-a-half ago. Pretty much everything applies to me, though I have definitely adapted more to interacting with others. Key word: adapt. I know I'm definitely not the usual, and while I can hide it pretty well, I definitely show different behaviors, like talking to myself to properly process my thoughts. No one else I know does that. Now I'm a lot more self-conscious about that than I'd like to be...
@@remnantknight56 yeah I have sort of learnt how people socialise and I tryyyyy to mimic it but it is really quite hard, I’m normally okay with small groups of people I know but when it’s a lot of people i don’t know I turn into a rock
Haha I have... Other mental health and personality disorder stuff... But nah. My brother was diagnosed with asperger's as a kid and later autism. We both struggled socially were always bullied. My bro was dangled over a bridge and locked in a freezer even. When he was seven. You're far from alone.
@@xavierbrown4051 that makes me feel so sad, I cannot believe kids would do that. I was always a pretty built kid and did mma so I never really experienced physical stuff like that but I was severely mentally isolated from everybody. It’s weird too cause I was always in the “popular” group mainly because of my sporting ability but alone within it.
Clearly you aren't the only one, dude. :P
I was diagnosed as having mild autism during my childhood, and I’ve only discovered this years after I graduated college. It really opened my eyes and answered a lot of things that I just couldn’t ask others, like why am I so weird, why do I think this way instead of the usual, why do I have a hard time socializing, so on and so forth. The most damning of all was my mother telling me how I severely lacked empathy as a child, because growing up I used to believe that I was an empath because I somehow absorbed the energy and emotions of others, but no. I was likened to a robot mimicking others and becoming overwhelmed with emotions i dont understand at all. It kinda ruined the perception I had of myself, but at the same time, it felt liberating, and I have since come to accept my weird and anti-social self. Right now as I’ve studied and learned more of autism, I’ve slowly wondered whether I should classify myself as a high functioning autistic person or an Aspie instead. I seem to fall under having Asperger’s syndrome because of how undetectable my autism has been for others, with very rare instances of me slipping up. Idk.
I would advise you to identify as Aspie, instead of high-functioning Autistic, because people generally react negatively to the word Autism, unfortunately.
Asocial is what you are referring to. Anti-social are like bullies
@@controlequebrado4455 The anti social spectrum includes people who lack empathy, which matches what they wrote. It has nothing to do with being a “bully.”
I'm an Aspie and got diagnosed when I was in kindergarten. At first my parents were worried about me and my future, but they worked hard to make sure I had all the proper resources to grow and didn't ignore or push my aspergers to the side.
Now because of their attention to my diagnosis most people can't tell off hand that I'm an aspie. I still exhibit some traits, but can function by myself in society.
Lesson is that even if you are worried, scared, or confused about a diagnosis towards yourself or others it is imperative to address it. It'll be hard but worth it for everyone.
Honestly, I'd argue even some of the more obviously and visually autistic folks can still function well, even if it's sometimes not "as well" as the more high functioning among us. I'm aware that was likely implied with your comment, just wanted to make that explicit.
@@LuckyHicks2 Thank you for your contribution. It was implied, as I was referencing my own experience.
What did your attention to your diagnosis look like? I'm curious what you could of done to better the condition
I'm autistic, and my broþer has aspergers, and my parents never really managed to address my broþer's aspergers, and now my dad just yells at him when he ends up spending all day every day on his computer.
Wish I had friends who could help him grow, but atm it seems frustratingly hopeless. My dad grew up wiþ a mom who only valued getting work done, and he was beaten when she þought he was lazy.
Glad to hear your story's going better þan mine, don't forget to enjoy life друг.
Same here... Grammy really helped with that and now no general public people can even tell.
I was diagnosed in 7th grade and what mostly happened was I got angry that I had to be told I was different than other people. And then later on I found out I was gay so being average was pretty much out of the question for me.
I'm a gay furry with Aspergers myself. I was never really normal to begin with. My first crush was on Milotic, but I understood it's weird so I kept it to myself and close friends for a while. And then I got weirder by somehow eventually becoming gay.
@@TheAbsol7448 you sound just like a friend of mine, they're a gay autistic furry and honestly one of my closest friends.
@@randomantguy24 That's pretty cool.
Timmy House, Gay is normal now dude.
@@TheAbsol7448 Milotic? Who’s that?
I was socially awkward. I've never attended kindergarten. When making friends at preschool, I was really (I think) irritating. I kept asking them ,,What's up [INSERT NAME HERE]?" ,,Hi [INSERT NAME HERE]!" maybe every 5 minutes. When being at primary school I kept doing the same in 2 first classes. I always tended to sit alone, not play with other kids, rather watch them have fun. Aside from talking things like that, I wasn't very much talkative. I rarely spoke anything. I've liked maps since I was maybe 7. Aaaand I keep doing maps... I'm 19 now btw. I tend to too talk loud or too quiet. My speech even if it's informal to me... it sounds very formal... At age of 18 I got diagnosed with social anxiety and depression. Never was diagnosed with Aspergers, but when looking at the past I keep remembering stuff that to me are a little suspicious of having Aspergers. Can anyone know if it already is Aspergers or not? Xc
it definitely seems possible! i’d say talk to a doctor about seeking an autism diagnosis. (asperger’s is a bit of an outdated term and modern diagnoses don’t usually use it, just bcuz autism is a whole spectrum and using asperger’s makes it seem like asperger’s and autism r two different things or that there is a clear difference when they’re rlly isn’t, autism is just a big spectrum) good luck! :)
@@jackie6467 wow thanks, really
@@shpho you’re welcome! i’ve had several rlly good friends with autism and i’m also trying to get a mental disorder diagnosis for myself rn, for adhd, so i’m always happy to help others in similar situations
I can relate. It’s hard to start a conversation as an autistic person myself.
same! my discord and texts is just me saying hi every few minutes
I have aspergers ever since I was a baby I had aspergers I don't really like to think of it as a disease that needs to be cured I kinda like to think of myself as normal
Agreed
@@DisasterEnby cool, nobody asked!
@@DisasterEnby thats fine, but the fact that you are replying to every. single. comment. where someone says they have aspergers with the same exact thing, gets kinda annoying
@@DisasterEnby its really invalidating to hear this... please stop saying this to people unless they ask because this is makes me feel invalid and insecure about diagnosis
@@DisasterEnby personally i think ppl who have been diagnosed with asperger’s are allowed to identify as such, the term will be phased out as doctors stop using it in official diagnoses and over time ppl will stop using it completely. i don’t rlly see the point in making autistic ppl change how they identify themselves, it’s not their fault the guy happens to be a n@zi, y’know? definitely inform ppl who r still using the term when just talking about it tho!just don’t bother the ppl who have been diagnosed with it in the past :)
The part about the autistic/intellectual interest kind of made me think about programming. I also draw since an early age and people seem to really like what I do but what I'm actually interested in is programming.
Now that's an unusual irony, being really good at one thing but wanna do something else, related or not. I've been told that I was good at sculpture, but I much prefer to draw.
One of my best friends has it, for years I thought I he was "normal" until not too long ago where he was diagnosed with it. Nothing changed after that honestly, we just have the added knowledge of him being autistic.
My parents never cared one bit about my emotional wellbeing, so I didn't even find out the reason I was so different my entire life until I was 25
they didnt care but we do bro, you are not alone
I have ASD too. Thank you for sharing your stories
This guy has such a strong sense of humor about himself that I'm almost disappointed that he didn't make the south park burgers in the ass joke.
That was a great episode! 😂
I just got diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder this week at age 19. It's nice to know that I'm not just weird and have a valid reason that I'm so different and bad at social stuff.
How ya doing buddy.
Fellow asperger friend here on the earth for 20 year's.
As a person who was diagnosed with high-functioning Asperger's at around 12 or so and possibly suffering from undiagnosed anxiety, growing up was a bit of a struggle. I couldn't socialize with other kids normally and I had some interests that other kids didn't share (such as games from Sega or Nintendo, drawing, MLP, creepypastas, etc.). I was that one girl in elementary that galloped around the playground at recess because I was pretending to be a unicorn, I even had my arms out in front of me like they were my front legs, before I transitioned to running around like I was Sonic. Nowadays I don't display as many symptoms, but I still struggle with social interactions, still-somewhat-limited interests, volume and speed control when speaking, as well as a bit of emotional fragility (though that could be from anxiety and not the aspergers). I'm lucky enough to speak coherently and write legibly, at least, but it's a mental battle that I'm still fighting to this day.
god, i’m a 16 year old girl with asd traits, and i just relate so much 🥲 i hope you’re doing well!
Thank you!, I am doing quite well 💛, hope same goes for you! ☺
@@FiddleSkittle aw! i’m glad you’re ok ❤️ and i’m doing well too ☺️
A. NGL, your character design reminds me of Toddworld a little bit.
B. I remember being diagnosed with Aspergers in the 6th grade and it’s honestly been really cool to hear other people’s stories about living with it just because they can be really relatable. When it comes to field of interest, it’s football no doubt. I’ve been highly into football ever since the summer after 5th grade and everyone says I have a great knack for the game and I plan to make coaching the sport a career in the future. While I’m not socially awkward like most people with aspergers are since I am a big extrovert, I have major difficulty picking up on social cues like sarcasm or light jokes for example because I take everything pretty literally and that’s always been a struggle. I’m really glad you opened up about yourself in this video and that you are making content on this platform. Keep it up dude. Much love ❤️
Due to having absent seizures in my early life, all of my autism symptoms were assumed to be connected to my responses/behaviors (or lack of) as seizure activity (fyi absent seizures are nothing like epilepsy. They're nearly impossible for people to notice because from the outside it just looks like staring into outer space and not paying attention... when it's literally a black out from the inside. My seizure episodes happened to be long and frequent, too. It freaked my mom out when the neurologist experimented on what would trigger a seizure because according to her, my eyes looked as though my soul left my body... that's probably the easiest external sign to tell if someone's having an absent seizure.) And all of my social issues were assumed to be justfdw severe depression and anxiety. In my teens I was so often wrongfully diagnosed with things like bipolar disorder and even schizo-effective disorder (I got so stressed out in school once that I literally started to hallucinate. That was the first and only time that's happened and somehow I just immediately slapped with schizo-effective) ...so I was never diagnosed until literally last summer. I am 24 years old this year.
90% of my psych team: "we think you might have ASD - or Aspergers Syndrome."
My brick of a brain: *chuckles* "ass burgers."
..and something dawned on me when you mentioned not wanting to go outside and play with other kids when they invited you... I had that exact same issue but a lot of the time my parents would make me go and play regardless even though I didn't want to. I think that's how I developed this sort of complex that makes me believe that I'm somehow "obliged" to spend time with people, hug them, make eye contact etc... when doing that stuff will drain my energy for the rest of the week. My parents made me bc they thought that my constant distant behavior with everyone was rude. Especially at parties with family friends... for some reason they felt awkward and self-conscious of how my behavior would reflect on them. I mean, I get their point of view...doesn't make it right, though.
So there's my personal spiel for the public platform to know. Have a good day.
I feel you on all that.
From one aspergers to another.... Hope you have a long and happy life.
Don't let other's get you down... You do you buddy.
Everything else is just background noise.
I occasionally but rarely have absent - mild seizures too because of brain damage and other mental disorders 😅
Wait…YOU have that happen to you TOO?!!! It is so scary when those absence seizures happen.
I was diagnosed with aspergers when I was younger and didn’t talk at the age benchmark most neurotypical children do. I had difficulties with motor skills, coordination, sarcasm, social cues, among other things. For years I had no idea what it was until I researched it for myself, because I felt like I related to it when I was 16 and felt like I worked differently compared to others my age. My parents knew I had it when I was younger, but didn’t make it apparent I had it. They even try to tell me now that they don’t think I have it, which I think is ridiculous, since autism isn’t something you grow out of. It’s important to understand why you feel the way you do and I’m glad to find that the topic of autism is more open to talk about now. People still tend to use “autistic” as an insult, but we just have to remove the stigma that society has been told to feel about aspies and autistic people by Autism Speaks. I didn’t realize this comment would be so long-winded, but I have to thank you for making this video. I felt ashamed for having aspergers for so long and you admitting your diagnosis gives me solace. Thank you, FiddleSkittle
I agree you never grow out of autism. Hello friend your not alone. Lots of us out here. We are taking over Ha ha ha. I've got female autism nice to write to you have a great day bye
i have Asperger Syndrome, and that caused me some problems during my entire life, like bullying for years, stress problems, Emotional problems, and lots and lots of anxiety, but nowadays i feel better, and finally all those problems are gone.............. maybe?
I have autism and was diagnosed at 6, I'm 19 now (I think it's seen as really early for a girl). People say I'm high functioning because I can talk and interact well with people, but honestly, I'm only socially high functioning. If I take my personal life as an example, I can't even cook for myself, I could eat toasts and cereals as my only meals if I was left alone. It makes me feel anxious that I must be high functioning at everything to be considered high functioning.
I am diagnose I were a baby 6 is older I don't now is normal. I can not talk a voice so people say low function I live with carer an my sister they help me. I use AAC talker now ipad talk my words is alot better I can say I want now
to be fair, plenty of neurotypical people can't cook anything besides like microwaved ramen so I think you're fine there lmao
*me reading the eating toast and cereals bit*
Hm... That doesn quite fit me... HM...!
(I think my lack of cooking skills come more from me not taking the time to learn them, not anything else. xD And thankfully having a mother who cooks happily for our family.
My school and my parents taught me how to cook. I love baking now!
I got diagnosed at 4 I feel you.
I often move a mean tone even when don’t intend to be mean
Same here
my dad said i grew out of aspergers, but i had to tell him that i do still have the symptoms. they're very mild, but i can tell i have bad social skills and i obsess over a certain topic a lot. it used to get me in trouble with my parents when i obsessed over a certain topic. they used to think it wasn't normal, and they'd often ground me for it. but i'm glad to know i'm not the only one that has these issues. thank you so much
Imagine getting punished for having interests 💀💀💀
Your parents suck 😞
As someone with Asperger's syndrome it feels good to see others talking about it, especially since it all to commonly gets looped in with ADHD or even Autism
aspergers is a form of autism though and aspergers isnt being diagnosed anymore because of new autism developments.
Thanks for this! My son is high functioning ASD. He’s a teenager and pretty awkward I always worry that he won’t be able to make it on his own but your video has given me hope that he will be ok.
Aspie gang checking in. I'm a lady that was fortunate enough to get diagnosed at 6. I sometimes have issues with being too loud and while my handwriting is good, I hold a pencil in an odd way. I was also socially strange and bullied. I believed cartoons were real until I was 10, and was especially sensitive to noise and food texture. I'm a lot better now in many areas but still hate wood.
17-year-old aspie here. I used to think cartoons were formed from some sort of black magic. (like something out of "Bendy and the Ink Machine")
The irony of that is that I draw cartoons and animations now (I can assure you that animation is just a series of carefully-planned drawings played one after the other to create the illusion of movement and life), but it is only a hobby that I used to have passion for, but not really anymore. School just kinda took that away from me over the years. My school day consists of begrudgingly doing pointless busy work, avoiding people when possible, and desperately longing for graduation...😑
That really wears on your psyche.
I have Asperger's Syndrome along with an IQ of 77. I SUCK at math and socializing, yet I am so good at writing stories and musketeering.
Everyone is a fool in some task just as everyone is a genius in another task. You are very intelligent. That test answer? Fuhgeddabouddit
As a person with ADHD,
I was never really THERE, if you know what i mean. I was a side character to my own life because it was controlled by wanting to fit in and act normal. Alot of my life was spent being anxious about how id present myself in conversation and just generally any situation. I think i tried too hard to be normal, though. Because when i tried to speak and act normally i was always pushed to the side or bullied. I would have severe troubles with accidentally switching up 'yes' and 'no' together, which got me in alot of trouble growing up. It was either a case of going selectively mute or being too talkative.
I struggled with my attention span and actually staying on track, especially with school work. I figured that i was just dumb the majority of the time and gave up when things didn't make sense. Even the topics i enjoy were a chore because i just couldn't stay focused for long enough to enjoy the lesson. I would get in trouble for that alot and often misunderstood for lazy, which now that i look back on was wild.
I have ADD and have trouble paying attention to certain things for long periods of time but kind of like you i do have bad writing and get hyperfocused on random things and subjects, for example I over analyze conversations I have with people especially if it's a girl I'm interested in or I made a funny joke that made people genuinely laugh I guess to subconsciously improve my social skills because in Middle school and Highschool i had some mild social skill issues and always felt insecure about it and being an extrovert with bad social skills is never fun, to this day i still have trouble increasing the volume of my voice so it's kind of hard for me to get my input into a conversation sometimes without repeating myself a couple times
Wish me luck. September is when I see a specialist about this. Thinking back on my youth (I'm 40 now) I'm either Asbergers, Autistic or at the very least, ADHD.
Coming to terms that I'm neurodivergent is making life much better. I don't think there is anything wrong with me that needs to be "fixed". It's something that I can't control such as hair color.
Thank you for this great video!
I never actually knew what aspergers was exactly, this was a cool way to get to know about it. Great video! :)
Thank you!, glad you got to learn from this ☺
@Art Parlor
There's incorrect stuff that he said.
Information regarding autism(AKA autism spectrum disorder(ASD for short)):
Autism is a neurological/developmental disorder/disability.
There are 3 levels of the autism spectrum, which are high-functioning autism(AKA Asperger's Syndrome, mild autism, and Level 1 Autism)(which I have), medium-functioning autism(AKA moderate autism and Level 2 Autism)(An autist on this level has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. Think of Forrest Gump, Raymond Babbitt from the movie 'Rain Man', or Arnie Grape from the movie 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'.), and low-functioning autism(AKA severe autism and Level 3 Autism)(An autist on this level has the mental capacity of an infant, a toddler, or, at most, a 4-year-old.).
Regardless of an autist's cognitive functioning level, they are twice-exceptional, which means that they are both mentally disabled and gifted, with them having weaknesses in some areas and strengths in others.
There are a number of symptoms that an autist can have, including having restrictive & repetitive behaviors, having intense interests, having issues with social interactions(which may include being unable to pick up on social cues and/or being unable to pick up on sarcasm), and having difficulty with or being unable to understand social & societal norms. Some autists either have weak cognitive empathy(AKA empathic accuracy and theory-of-mind) or completely lack it(completely lacking it is referred to as "mind-blindness"). There are things that autists may be more or less capable with than non-autists, including math(which I royally suck at), multi-tasking(which I royally suck at), and memorization(which varies with me). There are conditions that a lot of autists have in addition to autism, including ADHD(which I had as a kid) or ADD(which I have had since middle school), OCD(which I have a mild case of), anxiety, depression, epilepsy, prosopagnosia(AKA face-blindness), phonagnosia, which is the auditory equivalent of prosopagnosia, and hypotonia, which affects muscle tone, muscle strength, motor skills, and stamina.
Autists tend to have sensory issues. For example, many autists are sensitive to loud noises(I have this issue) and there are autists who either have a stronger-than-usual sense of smell that keeps them from eating certain foods(I usually can't eat macaroni-&-cheese if it's been made with cheddar cheese), have the opposite problem, or have both problems at different times. For example, I normally have a stronger-than-usual sense of smell, but there are times when I can't smell things that other people around me can smell. It's a very strange experience. More examples regarding sensory issues are that plenty of autists can't stand having tags on shirts that they wear(I have had this problem since I was little) and that plenty of autists can't stand the sensations that certain fabrics cause them to have on their skin, which affects the clothing that they can wear.
Some autists naturally speak in a monotone voice, lack variation in speech when it comes to tone, pitch, and accent, either have difficulty with or are incapable of distinguishing voice tones, and either have difficulty with or are incapable of verbally & facially conveying their emotions in ways that don't come off as exaggerated and cartoonish. Some autists are tone-deaf. Many autists often speak loudly without realizing it until whoever they are talking to points it out to them(I have this issue).
Some high-functioning autists(AKA aspies) are so high-functioning that a normal person would have to spend a lot of time with them to notice any of their autism symptoms. Some high-functioning autists and some medium-functioning autists(For example, Raymond Babbitt from the movie 'Rain Man'.) have an advanced form of twice-exceptionalness called Savant Syndrome, which makes it so that they are much more skilled in memory, math, art, music, and/or spatial skills than a normal person.

very late to the party here, but ive been diagnosed with aspergers myself and honestly even looking at the comments makes me feel validated. thanks for making this
No prob! 😁
My brother needs to see this, I was diagnosed at age 12 and he was almost 20 so he doesn't understand my condition and even said something hurtful to me on the phone that everyone got mad at him for, so hopefully this helps him out, a lot of people think I had it rough since we didn't know until I was almost a teenager and we just had to roll with it
I have Aspergers and potential social anxiety ( I really want to get that anxiety checked out, but can't), so it's hard to make friends, especially since I'm not good at controlling my emotions and I often lash out at others ( I'm getting a lot better at it). So I got bullied quite a bit and people often assume I'm stupid and incapable of doing anything or think for myself. Which is pretty annoying. But I'm lucky to have a dad and mom who support me.
I was diagnosed with "autistic disorder" but i am high functioning. It is pretty much aspergers. Had i been diagnosed later, it would have been aspergers. Now it is all ASD but back when i was diagnosed, it was a bunch of different things. I also have bad handwriting but i am getting better at it.
Relatable
As someone who also has asbergers, i sympathize with you. And while i’m not sure if you are as comfortable with your’s as i am with mine, i’ll just say that you shouldn’t feel bad about being different when you don’t even know what it’s like without it.
Also, i also have a bit of a lisp from it as well, and honestly, i find your’s pretty cute. It’s a lot cuter than mine, i sound like a train whistle at times.
My parents got a pdd diagnosis for me that they ignored because they said god would heal me and I was never told about . My sister-in-law worked with special needs kids at a school and she’s the one who told me I had Asperger’s at 17 . Ever since then my life has become better cause I understand how to handle myself better .
Glad you understand it now ❤.
i'm coming to this video very late, but i just wanted to say that I'm happy to have found another content creator with aspergers! i have diagnosed aspergers, but i (and my parents and many other people who play "big" roles in my life) don't actually properly know about how it actually works, so when i find another person who knows more about than i do and puts it together in a way i can more easily understand, remember, and tell other people, it's a big score
As an aspie myself I relate to this. I was diagnosed at 12 I believe but I didn’t know till I was in my mid teens what I had. Though it sucks at times because I feel like an imposter with normal people an other aspies. I’m pretty good at being normal more or less, sometimes I come off as weird but 95% of the people I tell I’m an aspie tell me they couldn’t even tell. But the reason I feel like an imposter even among aspies is I don’t have that passion/interest to talent that most others have. I don’t really have talents in anything I’ve always been rather average so not having that skill that others have really bothers me. It’s lead to several years of depression and un motivation and I’ve spent the last 7 years trying to figure out what I want to do with my life with absolutely no luck. I’m glad you found your thing though.
Role: Imposter - Don't let the neurotypicals find you eating the cake.
(This is a joke. Don't worry.)
On a serious note, sorry you feel this way
My daughter is getting evaluated for ASD soon. I’m nervous for her but also weirdly happy because soon we’ll have an answer and therefore know how to help her better. And in the meantime she is a happy, fun little girl and I love her just the way she is. Thank you for sharing this it’s great to see other people with autism being themselves
i was diagnosed in grade 9, when i was in elementary school i was misdiagnosed with ADHD and the medication they gave me made my mood fluctuate really bad.
My ADHD medication made me **cough** *depressed*
1:06 Thanks for the info Dr. Willy

Excuse me for saying this out of nowhere, but your voice is literally the cutest thing ever. You have baby r's such as when you said "I'd wather play with objects around the house" or "Lack of verbal wythm" & you shorten your 'ing's like "handwritin". I smile whenever I listen to you, it's like the doge meme became a person. You're genuinely funny too, I'm subscribing 🤣💖💖.
Omg thank you so much!!, your comment made my day! ❤😄.
@@FiddleSkittle 😊😊💫
My friend has it! And we been friends for around 20 years. When we hang out he’s ok and I do get him to talk to others
Thank you for sharing what you know, my brother has it mild too. While I was diagnosed with ADHD. It's good to know more about aspergers since there's less talk about it than things like autism, ADD, PTSD, and ADHD
THANK FOR DESCRIPTION AND EXPLANATION
I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 13
I have a bit of asperger myself and I got diagnosed so this really helps
I was diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD when i was 17 (18? I can't remember) and I never even considered the ADHD part tbh. The affects you listed are actually some of the same I deal with still at 20, especially the social skills! Great video by the way!!
I’ve ASD (specifically diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome) as well; I had lots of support growing up, so it’s not a huge problem. I sometime have panic attacks and sensitivity
I have autism (not AS, I was diagnosed at 3 and I started to talk five months later than the maximum age you except an aspie or a NT would start to talk). The only period of my life I could actually resemble an aspie was about from the age of 12 to the age of 20. My parents told me this only when I was 13 and only because I asked my mum if I could borrow the book 'son rise' (a story about autism).
But I started to question about why I was different from the age of four. But adults avoided the question, until I gave up.
I believe a child That is diagnosed with autism should know the truth in detail sooner than later. Maybe not at the age of three, but as soon as he/she asks, or at least by the age of five.
It's comforting to be reminded that I'm not the only one who's experienced virtually the same things as i have
I was diagnosed with ADHD in the early 90s in 1st grade. But, the more I learn about autism and asperger's the more I feel like my misdiagnosis wasn't a missed sleep disorder (hypersomulance) but may be miss ASD. I'm 32 and female. And being a girl might be why it was missed.
I have Asperger’s too, I was actually diagnosed about 6 months ago.
I have asperger's too and I'm the same, I also have very mild symptoms. Great video by the way! Love from Ireland 💚🤍🧡
Thanks for talking about PDD, it might explain why I often feel like I might be ASD on top of my other mental health issues, but also why I never feel like I'm really ASD.
This video really helped me! I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome 2 years ago and I wasn't sure if I really had it because I didn't think I had autism as bad as other people watching this video helped me realize I wasn't alone cuz these are the exact things I experience:)
Like you, I was also diagnosed with PDD-NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) at first. From there, I was mostly diagnosed with Asperger’s. Mine mostly disables me socially except for a slight hearing sensory issue. Though my story’s more complicated since I’m also an abuse survivor. I’ve also struggled with depression and a shopping addiction.
Great video! I also fall on the spectrum like others here. While it was very hard to navigate life growing up with ASD, I now realize I have an advantage over what some would call neurotypical people.
I make more of an effort to be social and it has made me successful in my professional and personal life. Yes, I'm different -- my struggles are different, emotions, dreams, desires, and fears.
I would rather live a unique life with a unique experience rather than what everyone else who is "normal" goes through. Think of it like this, let's pretend society says we should insist granola is the normal way to eat cereal and any other way is weird. Well, oatmeal suits me just fine. Let them hate or be confused about different; let them wonder why I'm happy being so weird lol, maybe then they would try something new instead of living a life of meager conformity... I'm happy and thats all that matters
I really appreciated this video. I'm learning about my son's possible diagnosis and it's really helpful to hear what it's like from someone who has lived it. Thanks!
I was tested for Aspergers as a kid and the doctor said "he's not on the spectrum, although he does exhibit a couple traits, but those are fairly common in neurotypical people"
Ever since then I've wondered, where is the cutoff point for a diagnosis and why did they decide that? Like if autism is a spectrum, does that spectrum blend gradually trait by trait into the "neurotypical" population, or is the spectrum clearly isolated from neurotypicals. The same with like an ADHD/ADD diagnosis, if the requirement is to fill 15 out of 20 boxes, and somebody fills only 13, is it just regarded as nothing then? Cause you need a diagnosis in order to get meds, but maybe the 13/15 guy needs help too. I don't know, this is all just so nebulous to me
That is also a question a have. It sounds so weird to think about.
Where is the science in this?
Aspergers I believe was a way for a Nazi to determine which kids he can legally kill and which ones function enough to be in a normal society
Young girls often got looked away when suspected of autism/aspergers too. I was NOT a social toddler or child. I would emotionally shut down when I felt too overwhelmed or uncomfortable with a stranger. When my mom got me screened, the doctor said, “Oh! She's just your boy.” 😀 idk even know what to feel or say.
Honestly I have a lot of the same issues with autism. But I haven’t been properly diagnosed yet ( I’m 16 btw) I have hyperfixations (art, specifically), horrible social skills with me having huge friendship issues, bad handwriting, and having no interest In making friends as a kid.
But I also have misophonia which is a trait a lot of other autistic people have which is basically a sensitivity to certain noises like chewing crunchy foods, snapping, that annoying pen clicking, or any sound that repeats.
So like that’s why I think I am probably somewhere on the spectrum. But I don’t want to self diagnose because that’s not cool
The only thing I’m diagnosed with right now is depression and adhd
I'd say you have it. But I'm not a doctor, so...
There is always room for improvement, and working on your strengths and weakness should be highly encouraged
I agree 💪
love the art, also I find the way you pronounce some words adorable 🥺❤
You’r automatically one of the most relatable TH-camrs for me now, I have the same thing as you and I love my quirks :3 💗💗 same with the social skills but, I’ve avoided people all together.
I have autism, glad you could explain the spectrum for others online. :)
Don’t have ASD but as a child I would introduce myself saying my name, my age, my star sign and my blood group. Your introduction just really reminded me of that and I had to laugh.
I think Asperger’s has been grouped up under the Autsim umbrella entirely now actually - like it’s not a diagnosis anymore, you just get diagnosed with autism! But when I was young (about 8), I was diagnosed with Asperger’s too & I still call myself an Aspie cause I’m used to it :’) I just want people to understand that Asperger’s isn’t really like... Autism Lite or Diet Autism at all. We still have different brain stuff going on than neurotypicals / allistics (non-autistics)! And by all means, science now recognizes that Autism is less of a collection of disorders and is more of a massive spectrum of developmental, social, and neurological differences.
Also, I think the High vs Low functioning scale has become outdated too. It’s so hard to keep up with all the changes, haha, but I kind of think this is a good thing. I didn’t get as much help as I needed in school because I was classified as “high functioning”... I was just pretty good at “social chameleon” stuff, though. Here’s a link about what that is:
candidlyautistic.tumblr.com/post/153688226785/ive-always-experienced-what-i-call-chameleoning
So, because I was so good at ~seeming~ normal, I was classified as “extremely high functioning”... yet I only had 1 friend for like 8 years. Also school work took me way way way longer than my classmates (partially because of undiagnosed ADHD too, I just learned about that at age 22!). It sucked to not “qualify” for help anymore because I ~seemed~ too “high functioning”.
I kind of rambled a bit, so sorry if this is hard to understand! But I just wanted to say a few things that I know have changed about our understanding of the Autism Spectrum and the definitions now used by professionals and the DSM V!
Very informing 👍, thank you for the info!, ya I'm aware things have changed of the spectrum and has been updated over the years, I sorta just stuck with the outdated info I knew for a long time till people started commenting recently as yourself sharing updated info of it, its good for comments like this to spread more recent info so people can know more such as myself!. ☺
I loved this video! I enjoy hearing other people talk about their lives, and I think your little kid self sounds so adorable. I was really shy as a kid, and probably would have been excited to have you introduce yourself to me.
As a person with asperger I can totally relate to this video
One thing that always happened to me ( and stills happens) is that I only like a movie tipe / serie / food, and it’s pretty hard to try or see something new!
( also my writing is trash)
Bruh, I hit the jackpot and have a deep passion for psychology and music/modular synthesis. But for a long time I had no passion bc I didn’t know about these areas of expertise so u could be chilling till u find a productive field you discover that you enjoy. (also my writing is hilariously bad bc I got bad occupational health and dyslexia😂) combo♾
Oh plus I have asd obvsss
@@attackman4458 well , I am very good creating stories or writing poems
Amazing video from a woefully underrated channel. As someone with aspergers, I drew a lot of parallels with my own life here.
I thought this video was awesome,
I have autism and was diagnosed age 14, in 2020. I have speech issues just like you and the fact you talked about that made me realise that it’s not uncommon for autistic people and that it ok. I have such a hard time sometimes, I can even become selective mute. But it just takes time from the brain to the mouth...
I struggle so much to socialise and I’m glad other people also understand that.
Very good video. 👍
Thank you so much ❤
I think that your voice is amazing no matter what. I also think that you notice your inflections and use your art to show that. That is pretty awesome my dude!
I didn’t get diagnosed until I was an adult. 25 years old.
I knew I was different from the time I was in kindergarten. I didn’t play with toys the same way as other kids. When I colored I had to line up the crayons or colored pencils in rainbow order before I could begin my drawing (I still do this. It gives me too much anxiety if I don’t do this).
I to this day don’t understand typical people my age, I prefer to hang around adultier adults.
I speak very literally and use words that others don’t typically use in casual conversations.
And one major thing that should have been a red flag for my parents that I was different was that I could recite my favorite movies and song lyrics perfectly; and if someone tried to quote something and missed a word or tone the original had, I’d get nervous and have to correct them.
Btw yes I could actually recite a entire movie and describe what was happening on the screen at any point of a movie I’d seen. I’d have to see it at least twice for this to be flawless but I learned in 7th grade no one else could do this. I strongly believe it’s my autism.
As an aspie person myself honestly I felt reliefed by the diagnost, because everyone looks at me weird, and now I can explain my form of being (srry if bad english, not native language)
I have Asperger’s Syndrome, here’s how it started, when I was 2, A doctor Diagnosed me with P.D.D, and when I was 4, I went to an Autism Center, my P.D.D. Became Autism, and when I was 5, my Autism became Asperger’s
i introduced myself to my current s/o back in high school by writing up a resume to apply to be their friend. i now realize this was quite unorthodox, but i consider it a rousing success! (
Small world.
I was diagnosed when I was 2 or 3. It wasn't until I was 12 or 13 was I told I had Aspergers. Growing up I had a hard time socializing with people, and would constantly be overwhelmed with too much information. I was also hypersensitive to noises, and would break down whenever I was pressured too hard. I would also (still do) have a hard time expressing myself/describe things to people. Not to mention my inability to look people in the eye.
I'm in my early 30's now, and I've improved since then. I took stage acting to help with my social skills, went to therapy to help with my anxiety, and learned to take things one step at a time. I'm obsessed with the arts, film, and humanities. I feel comfortable being by myself, and would always come up with ideas for stories. I'm always hyper focused in what I'm passionate about, and would go hours on end talking about those said passions.
Needless to say I've had quite the journey.
dang that part about saying stupid things when your younger it just brings back the stupid memories
Thanks for sharing your story I hope you don't mind, I have a ASD and I would like to use this video to help people better understand it from a person who has the disability.
I don't mind at all if you use this video to help others! 😊
Autist here, Diagnosed at 16, my autistic fixation as I call it is clowns, legit, i have over 23 clown figurines in my room
Asbergers has always been a struggle for me, my guardians don’t believe I have it although I’ve been diagnosed. They aren’t the only ones either, I decide not to bring it up to most people since when you tell someone your on the spectrum but your also mostly like other people they tend not to believe you. So I just go about my days as the ‘weirder’ kid, I wish more people knew about this
It's kinda concerning for me that I share almost all symptoms as well. Not that I worry about being diagnosed with, more like being concerned about the fact that I might be diagnosed so far late in my life.
I've had about two diagnosis. One at 2 and one at 19 (I'm 22 now).
All they could say was that I had similar symptoms to autism but didn't have it. For all we knew, I was just "special"
But anyway I have similar symptoms you have. Speech, lack of interest or understanding in socializing and lack of emotion to certain things especially if I'm not interested.
I love this guy's way of speaking. It's genuinely charming
This comment is charming 👍
@@FiddleSkittle thanks 😊
Yay! Lets go, aspergers! :3 I was diagnosed at 23 (pretty late, I know...) and love art and anime :3
I'm glad that I found a youtuber who also has aspergers
