Im an autistic 13 year old and when I was diagnosed last December 2021, I began researching and watching fellow autistics just makes me smile knowing Im not alone. It feels good to know people experience similar things that I have.
I’m a 28 year old female and fellow Aspie and definitely related extremely well to each of the five tips! Yep, they’re all incredibly important and are quite stressful to deal with. Thanks for taking the time to make this in order to have others better understand us!
I would like to add: "be understanding of their sensory problems". If someone on the spectrum feels uncomfortable in a noisy room or a crowdy place or can't eat some food or doesn't want to be touched or hug, please respect them. Let them leave the place or refuse a food or a physical contact without getting upset or judging them. I have often to explain many times to the same people that I don't like to be touched or hug, that I have a certain level of tolerance for parties or public places etc... And sometimes I see that they take it as an offense. I can like you and your company very much, but maybe the places in which you like to hang out make me have a sensory overload and I need to leave earlier than you'd like. Or you can be one of my best friends and still I prefer if you don't hug me. It doesn't mean I don't love you, just that it's too much uncomfortable for me. It would be like if someone would show you their love by pouncing your arms.
This is so helpful, 55 year old recently diagnosed also with GAD . I find it very hard to explain to people, let alone trying to process my diagnosis. Thank you so much, glad I found you.
I found out I was ASDL1 when I was 55 years of age. I was devastated. My children explained to me and told me that it was clear that was my diagnosis. I have struggled not knowing this my whole life. i have struggled to have relationships. I am grateful to them informing me. I will tel them about this video
As an Asperger myself I wold like to add about your points: 1. Giving me too much information at once makes me tink about possible solutions or actions for everything at once as well, on the work place it may be counter productive specially if Ibwork under someone, because I may prioritize things differently than my superior, and what might have been urgent for my boss, for me it could get trown down to the number 5 thing I would do. 2. Totally agree on this one, partially related to the first actually. 3. You are right on the point. 4. This one is specially frustrating, as asperger I had to get use to tolerate a miriad of thungs from NTs that are for me quite annoying , so when I notice them not to be in any disposition to tolerate the little mistakes I make that go under my radar, it pisses me off quite a bit, NT's are particularly intolerant. 5. About this one, I have found that people I inform about my diagnosis, eventhoug they are aware I might be slightly above average IQ, they assume all this sort of things about aspies liking to be alone, or they think we are stubborn so they stop disscussing issues with me all together, etc, thise assuptions are false, since we might end up being lonely yes, but it is more related to how frustating it is for me to deal with NTs squared and narrow way to act for example.
Yeah my friends got upset over many mistakes I’ve made in trying to comprehend things they tell me and it’s not my fault I couldn’t comprehend it.. and now they signaled me out pretty much ignoring me on a regular basis because they don’t think I can handle being “normal” in conversations with them. So they broke suddenly my routine of talking with them every single day so I’m lonely and sad. Because I feel like they hate me, like I lost my friends.
Exactly the same things happened to me too, I know exactly how you feel with that, it happened a few months ago but it still hurts and I keep blaming myself for it, even though I know it's not my fault
@@AdamGittings I feel like you and I would be good friends. I feel like people with autism should connect more we understand our kind better than anyone, we know how it feels.
Absolutely right, however I was diagnosed autistic just this month and in the report they confirmed a finding in line with DSM-5 for autistic spectrum disorder, and drew a specific correlation between the former diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome to give guidance as to where on the spectrum I sit.
This means alot to me, especially being an aspie. I find it hard to cope with social situations but i dont want to cry that im on the spectrum but i dont handle things like other people. Its hard.
Change feels monumental. When I get flustered & it's showing, it helps to say, "I'm having a hard time explaining what's wrong." People are more understanding when you throw that out there, lol. Buys you time to process. Cheers! =)
Very good video! You hit all 5 nails right on their heads. At work, my supervisor will oftentimes throw a bunch of things at me at once. But luckily, he works remotely across the country, so we're mainly communicating over text. That means I can always take his list of tasks to do and make a bullet list out of them, which is VERY helpful. If we were talking verbally, I would absolutely never pick up everything he's saying.
I liked the video excellent tips. One constructive criticism is that maybe you can speak a bit louder and more clearer. I know it’s easy to just mumble on sensitive topics as we tend to be afraid not to make anyone upset but you made this video I believe you can do it. Keep it up!
Thank you, I've got a mic and a proper camera now and I''m more confident on camera, so my recent videos have been a lot better and clearer. It's good to look back at these videos and see how much better they've got haha
@@AdamGittings it’s good you’ve gained confidence. That’s a hard thing for our kind to do. Baby steps, one thing at a time and we can accomplish anything.
I just realized one of my coworkers might be on the spectrum. He’s a very smart guy and really nice & I can tell he feels guilty about things but he just can’t speak to people without coming off as rude or condescending. He doesn’t mean it & he feels bad when it’s pointed out to him. I got frustrated with him today and then I decided to look up what could be different about him. Obviously I can’t diagnose but he fits Asperger’s to a T. Now I’m feeling horrible about the way I treated him earlier. He’s a very handsome tall guy that a bunch of girls have crushes on & he seems social when he wants to be but he just shuts down sometimes & I thought he was stuck up or rude but looking at everything together (really good memory, obsessed with certain things, the blunt way he speaks, above average intelligence and a lot of empathy) it seems he may be on the spectrum. Thanks for the advice. I will be kinder and more understanding towards him going forward.
Me and my brother are 13 months apart and he has aspurgus syndrome. We are extremely close so I've just adapted to living with him and it's completely normal for me.
@@fern1416 I realised I spelt it wrong but I made this comment more than a year ago. But basically he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and it's a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. To put is short he is incredibly intellectual and has very good verbal language skills. He also has difficulty with social interactions and socialising in general.
"Don't give too much information at once." It drives me crazy that people may perceive us as inattentive or stupid because of our inability to take in a lot at one time.
@@livableincome some authority figures are supportive to a degree. Others believe they can scream, threaten or find some other way to abuse you into becoming more neurotypical. It's tragic when they are "educated" individuals. I had to drop out of college because of the latter type of authority figure.
This is really helpful. Thank you so much. We hope to see more videos about tips to understand Aspie people more (I don't like those long long videos about Asperger on TH-cam)
I met a famous guy a few years ago who has Aspergers but at the time he hadn't gone public with it. I was so happy to meet him but it was a disaster and I've felt bad ever since. He seemed really off with me and in the end I felt so uncomfortable I just gave him the gift I got him and left. He tried to tug on my sleeve to say something but I refused to look because I was feeling upset and I didn't want him to see and realise he had upset me. I've spent the rest of my time feeling bad because he wanted to say something and I didn't let him :| Later he did an interview saying he had aspergers and then I felt even worse! Hope this video helps others :)
Thanks! Even if I’ve seen it it writing it’s more impactful when I hear it from someone who experiences it. It’s important for me as a friend, counselor, and just a person. :) Keep up the good work. I think your channel has promise. I just recommend a better sound setup because the reverb was distracting.
I love my aspie so much. But I have ptsd and at the moment I can’t handle anything. So he told me that we have to break up. And I need to work on myself. ( I sometimes hurt him because of my ptsd) he told me he love me and want to stay in touch. But I didn’t here from him all week. I miss him to pieces he is/ was my best friend. So pure.. so loyal. I hope he will contact me soon and doesn’t go looking for somebody else 😭
My son is 23 too & was diagnosed when he was 8. One thing I struggle with is I want to connect with him so much, but I always feel like I’m kept at arms length. I feel like I have to walk on eggshells because I don’t want to unintentionally irritate or anger him. I try so hard not to take it personally, but as an NT AND his mom, it’s so hard.
I care very much for an Aspie man and like you am so worried that my actions might irritate him. it IS like walking on eggshells. He is lucky to have such a loving Mom as you
I can relate. I have a distant relative who obviously seemed on the spectrum but no one ever told me what it was. Everyone has abandoned this person and I've been trying to help, but indeed it is like walking on eggshells. Just found out it is aspergers so am on youtube looking for helpful suggestions. I want to learn how to more effectively communicate so this person can relax and feel ok talking with me. That there is at least one relative who hasn't run away. But aspies also need to understand that if you act hostile and rude to people they will leave. Unless you are closely related and HAVE to work it out, most people will quite rightly walk away from abuse.
Thank you for this video I've recently been in my very first relationship with my boyfriend and he has Asperger's. It's just really difficult for me to get things going with him because I had an expectation that being in a relationship would be like all butterflies and rainbows and I tend to overthink a lot, a lot. What worse is that we're in a long distance relationship, so it's more difficult for me to know what he's really trying to say(since he doesn't like calls that much) I have a problem with tackling things head on, so maybe I'll try and take things slow now
Be as direct with him as possible. Do not guess. Do not expect him to read your mind. And learn about the five love languages, for you both. And make your own boundaries and needs very clear. All the best! ::)
Can't believe someone disliked this..You are trying to educate and help people then you've got some T***disliking it.. Thank you for uploading this ... All people on the Austistic Spectrum are Neurologically Developmentally Different ( our brain structures are quite literally wired differently to Neurotypicals) ..You are a wee gent..made my day.😎..I have Aspergers Syndrome...
Thanks! It is video i just searched for. I recently started living with Asperger person and at first, our relationship was fine, but then something went wrong. He started to avoid me and as a result we hardly communicate. It is sad 'cause I need friends in a new country. Maybe it happened because of my excessive tactility. I like to hug, touch people. He never complained to me, so I didn't get what I was doing to make him uncomfortable. but I'm not sure Only his parents said that he does not want to talk to me. Instead, we cleaned the yard together for Christmas and talked a little. I just can't let go, understand this situation :(
My guess is you are an attractive female. I used to get that all the time. Sexism. According to sexist jerks girls have to be smiling all the time. Even if you just had bad news or are having a horrible day. Smile! It makes the jerk feel happy that the sex object is behaving as she " should". Of course this is a wild guess of mine, but I used to be subjected to that a lot in my youth. Menopause rocks now. No one bothers me anymore.
@@artisticautistic9664 So was the " smile" person a jerky heterosexual/ sis woman? Probably under 40. Or a gay man? Men are increasingly being objectified in our society too. Ignore them. They are idiots. There is a movie called Idiocracy that depicts that sort of base behavior. You might find it funny.
Please someone explain to me why aspergers is still used...other than that is what people like or prefer because of the stigma.Are there any differences other than it's "high functioning"(if you do provide anything please show actual studies thank you).
i'll just follow the last advice. "dont treat them as if they are any different" In this spirit, dont tell me how i should behave. You have the right to be offended. but you have no right to NOT be offended. like everyone else.
The reason for that is simply because Government issued social and psichological assistance was not given to Aspies some years ago, since it was not considered a dissability as Autism is, so Asperger was merged with that diagnosis in order to facilitate the access to that assistance, I myself as an asperger find it unadecuate, but it was a good way to circunvent bureacracy for those with no resources and in desperate need for guidance.
Yeah it's a difficult one to be honest. I got diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 4, which was 19 years. So I've always gone with that because it was what I personally got diagnosed with. But I get what you're saying and you're not the 1st to say this, I am currently looking into it all more so I can understand it better
Also NEVER in a million years say “Asperger’s Syndrome doesn’t excuse you!” That’d be like me saying “Being Black or (insert other skin color here) doesn’t excuse you!”
If you treat someone different because then that gives them reason to believe they can't do things and will make excuses. I'm not treating them like a child there an adult. Yes I am guilty of giving them to much info and overwhelm them but their so high functioning that sometimes I'm not being aware. I am guilty of that. They constantly think I'm being mean or critical or rejecting and I'm not. All I've wanted is to understand. If they were honest then I wouldn't be as upset. Still were pretty close. We have music in common that's how we became close. try everything to sabotage. That's just my experience.
I'm not sure I see the connection. Excuse you from accepting consequences? We all accept the consequences. I've missed funerals of beloved friends and family because of the stress and anxiety caused by Aspergers. I'm not sure people have said, "I can't do that because of my skin color." Maybe I'm missing your point in a big way. I'm willing to learn, though.
Perhaps some AS people use their autism as a “get out of jail free” card regarding their behaviour? Easier than accepting their own limitations and trying to learn from them,perhaps?
You drove me out of my mind!!!! You kept repeating over and over again!!! The information you have to share is important. Get to the point, and stop talking!!!! OMG!!! I couldn't take anymore after 2 minutes!

In the US it was all lumped to ASD but i know in some countries like the UK asperger’s is still its own diagnosis.

Thank you very much
Helpful tips,thanks
No problem at all, thank you!
All me, right down to his repetitive speech. Try writing what you want to say before you start, then stick to the script.
How about get a life instead of commenting on random people's TH-cam videos? Especially those who are vulnerable as it is
I am autistic. Aspergers is not a diagnosis. Hasn’t been for over a decade.
The reason for that is simply because Government issued social and psichological assistance was not given to Aspies some years ago, since it was not considered a dissability as Autism is, so Asperger was merged with that diagnosis in order to facilitate the access to that assistance, I myself as an asperger find it unadecuate, but it was a good way to circunvent bureacracy for those with no resources and in desperate need for guidance.
There is no help available here in USA, very sad
Yeah it's a difficult one to be honest. I got diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 4, which was 19 years. So I've always gone with that because it was what I personally got diagnosed with. But I get what you're saying and you're not the 1st to say this, I am currently looking into it all more so I can understand it better
Yes, but there are adults that were diagnosed at a young age with aspergers. So why not just stick with the term they were diagnosed with?

Also NEVER in a million years say “Asperger’s Syndrome doesn’t excuse you!” That’d be like me saying “Being Black or (insert other skin color here) doesn’t excuse you!”
If you treat someone different because then that gives them reason to believe they can't do things and will make excuses. I'm not treating them like a child there an adult. Yes I am guilty of giving them to much info and overwhelm them but their so high functioning that sometimes I'm not being aware. I am guilty of that. They constantly think I'm being mean or critical or rejecting and I'm not. All I've wanted is to understand. If they were honest then I wouldn't be as upset. Still were pretty close. We have music in common that's how we became close. try everything to sabotage. That's just my experience.
I'm not sure I see the connection. Excuse you from accepting consequences? We all accept the consequences. I've missed funerals of beloved friends and family because of the stress and anxiety caused by Aspergers. I'm not sure people have said, "I can't do that because of my skin color." Maybe I'm missing your point in a big way. I'm willing to learn, though.
@@newlywedbeth You are, when someone with Autism mis speaks and says something once, don’t say what I mentioned above
@@devianthousend I’m referencing to a rude remark people should NEVER say, if that makes sense.
Perhaps some AS people use their autism as a “get out of jail free” card regarding their behaviour?
Easier than accepting their own limitations and trying to learn from them,perhaps?
Slow down, Icant understand you.
You drove me out of my mind!!!! You kept repeating over and over again!!! The information you have to share is important. Get to the point, and stop talking!!!! OMG!!! I couldn't take anymore after 2 minutes!
You’re really fucken obnoxious lady. Your rudeness drove me out of my mind so I guess you guys are even
Failing grade. Patience is needed when someone is trying to explain how you can better communicate with them. You needn't be so rude.
