Since learning I had autism and what that meant it has been interesting to find out so many of the problems I run into are so common for people with autism, and it's sometimes nicer to think it's not my choices necessarily but the difference between me and other people that make things so hard. It doesn't really make anything work out any better, but at least it's somewhat like getting closure on things to find that understanding.
Everyone is different, but some common autistic strengths are: attention to detail. visual perception. creative and artistic talents. mathematical and technical abilities. interests or expertise in 'niche' areas. character strengths such as honesty and loyalty.
A ❤ heart rendering clip Orion 😬 BAD (and good) is a relativity concept of the NT world ,🤔 Focus on your inner self as to what feels comfortable to YOU. BTY your video presentations and 2023 book which are spread all over this precious 🌏 🌍 🌎 planet of ours on this whole fascinating topic are fabulous, whatever you might feel (especially now) ‼️😍 A big Yorkshire thank you ,‼️
Been there, done that 99.99% of the time. Most things that have been developed or created come mostly from NTs. Perfection expected by NTs. We can't be them. We also can't be & do perfect all the time. Don't beat yourself up. You're heading in the direction you are supposed to be, klutz, clumsy or not. You're definitely not crap at educating the world about autism. You have an amazing wife & 2 beautiful boys that love their dad like no one else. Your family can't replace you. And they accept you just the way you are. ⭐🌟✨💫 You're okay Orion..... I'm most definitely not. (But I need to stop being so hard on myself also.) ⭐
Same here. I have openend various businesses that have failed. I have planned holidays that have been a disaster. I didn't know I was autistic until a few weeks ago. I feel we should keep to repetetive things to find happiness. Be a plumber o something that is always the same. Practise a sport that is non competitive and repetitive. Karate is fine. Or rowing. Or cycling.
Super Feel. I suspected i needed more than just patience in weathering the worsening financial crises we constantly live with. I shouldn't unstoppingly worry about how much worse I'm going to feel as I age further - when this feels more dead than alive NOW.
I feel like I have been here 200 years. I have seen heroes rise and become villains. I have seen hope become despair. Entropy is not a parameter in physics. It's a taste in my mouth. I can smell the oxygen burning the life and eating the metal.
Special abilities are more common in autism than in other groups, with one study1 finding that a third of autistic adults showed superior skills in one or more areas by parental report and on psychometric tests. Some well‐documented skills are as astounding as any in fiction, such as the renowned artist S.
Dude you are so awesome for shedding light on this. I have only recently started suspecting that I am autistic. It’s so crazy how so much of what you say fits so perfectly with me and my life. Thank you for doing what you do.
It feels exactly the same to me. I always say I feel like an old fart that has trouble coming out. I totally relate to feeling a lot older they you are. If I just look at the sheer amount of jobs I’ve had. Do many I don’t even list half of them on my resume.
I’m great at things, but people take credit for my work. I’m great at things, but nobody cares. I’m great at things, but it literally feels like everything around me has doomed me to failure. Everything always turns to crap. Always.
It feels like everyone has a secret tunnel to drive through a mountain, you don't, and have the climb the mountain to only fall down the other side. You get even more upset and withdrawn each step, each fumble each extra second it takes. You want to give in, wonder if the result is worth the time, stress, money, effort you put in to something someone else can do quickly or with ease...But just in thinking such, you feel guilty and horrible, more miserable and dejected, just for just thinking about wanting to give up ☹ It's hard, nevertheless we must persist, maybe one day new method to get through and over mountains with a bit more ease. 😅
This "Mountain and secret Tunnels" fits 100%. While i had to fight for every job, even for job references at the end (actually I am waiting since 10 months from my last company) and poeple who told me "I change my job, if you are searching a new one, ask me" and still got rejected and writing applications with all my diplomas and stuff is a daily routine, my brother, who is 4 years younger, always find a job with ease through a former employee, friend, former supervisors, etc. he don´t even know how to write an application, because he never really did one....and a short CV is usually enough...... Its no surprise, that Autistic people feels so exhausted and drained in their 30-40ies.
@@Piroschatz44 A person actually told me how she was practically handed a job by someone. I have never experienced that in my entire life. I too had to fight hard just to be treated in a way I wouldn't wish on anyone once I got that job. I am completely burnt out.
Hey! 🦓 (steps onto soap box) Guess what?! You are NOT failing when you try. You are not bad at this channel. Not bad at being a dad.

But are they having do what we are just to get to the STARTING line? Nah! Maybe "X" is hard for us, and we have to WORK ALOT to do 'X'. But guess what? We can do "Z" ten times better. As well as other letters :) Neurotypicals don't have the power we do. They never will. We can attempt to adjust to their standards, but they will never experience and GOOD of autism.

Doubtful. I feel exactly as he describes - taking his description word-for-word - this ISNT my depression. That darkness is tamed by my meds. I KNOW when it laps at my shoreline.
Bro that’s the cycle. You can only mask for so long. That’s a really shit attitude to keep though. “I’m always going to fail.” You aren’t failing are you? Look at your channel? Stay consistent. I know we can’t do it for long but with what you tell yourself? Uplift bro.
thank you for saying this. I'm only 23 but I already feel like I'm 80. everything is so exhausting. I'm just so tired

❤well said.
Everyone is different, but some common autistic strengths are:
attention to detail.
visual perception.
creative and artistic talents.
mathematical and technical abilities.
interests or expertise in 'niche' areas.
character strengths such as honesty and loyalty.
Unfortunately knowing I have strengths doesn't stop the feeling of being tired and unable to do what people want from me.
@100dunno Not every autistic person is good at math and are good at visual perception either.
I have to push myself to get through the day. The fatigue feels endless!

So relatable...
Virtual hug 🫂
Utterly exhausted.
Wow it's so accurate !!!

😮you took the words right out of my mouth,
Sick of it too!
Hi Orion totally with you on that one, I totally get where you are coming from

I can relate 😭
Omg, well that’s me today, and the day before, and the one before that.. I was literally just thinking before this “why do I keep trying?”
Dude you are so awesome for shedding light on this. I have only recently started suspecting that I am autistic. It’s so crazy how so much of what you say fits so perfectly with me and my life. Thank you for doing what you do.
Im 35 and i always say i feel like im 80 for that exact reason. Whe i tell people they just laught and think im joking 🤨
you are helping so many people. PerhPs podcasting and fatherhood and being a good husband are your superpowers❤
❤Its not wrong to question your parents authority, its smart. Theyre just people too.

Me too......not sure if I'm autistic.....maybe......sometimes its others making us feel this way.
I'm bad at everything except for creating art. And cooking, though I consider that to be an art.
Oh yeah. I can at least 70% now, growl and keep going. Sometimes it ends in tears.
I’m great at things, but people take credit for my work. I’m great at things, but nobody cares. I’m great at things, but it literally feels like everything around me has doomed me to failure.
Everything always turns to crap. Always.
I’m 28 and I related to this a lot.
I'm here with my 80 year-old self in my brain lol
For me, by the grace of God, most things I do, I do well. The outstanding exception is trying to orally communicate with neurotypicals.
I did something reasonably well today and the anxiety of pulling it off made me throw up.
❤
Other people drain the life out of me..that's why im an introvert
God loves you and is always proud of you 🙏🏻
If that invisible sky thing exists it has to explain a lot. I would prefer if the believers would not try to "infest" every space with thos bs.

When I was a kid I was talented. As an adult not so much. 😢
Seems the older I get the more I fail. My bones do ache. I am 48 and tired.
Try being 59 and all you want to do due to that same issue is lay on the sofa or bed and sleep forevet.
That not true people with autism not bad autism people good look how good you are at making video for TH-cam
Depression?
Doubtful.
I feel exactly as he describes - taking his description word-for-word - this ISNT my depression.
That darkness is tamed by my meds. I KNOW when it laps at my shoreline.
Bro, i couldve did this video
