I've rarely been overtly bullied in my life, I'm a high masking female. I have been ignored my whole life. I felt like a ghost no one could see or hear when I was in school. Even in university. I would say something and no one would hear it, yet the leader of the group would repeat what I said and everyone would listen to them. This showed they did hear me, but chose to not have the social stigma of acknowledging me. People I knew would walk by without saying hello. Stuff like that. They have done studies and found that in any type of mammal, if one is removed from the group it will show signs of stress. Things are better for me now because I have managed to find a few nice people in my life, but it took a long time. Still, if I am in a group I automatically become the low status person and ignored. I prefer one on one with quality people who like my quirks.
Random strangers used to gawk at me as if I was some otherworldly creature. Perhaps the reason they used to gawk at me is because I am a purple bipedal horse, and the reason that they no longer gawk at me is because they've gotten used to seeing a purple bipedal horse.
That video was amazing. Genuinely one of the most enjoyable videos on autism I've watched. It felt like a cozy dnd campaign and yet it was full of information and educational!
You’ve mixed favourite things together beautifully! A DM’d epic adventure and all the music and sounds that make me instantly delighted for my love of gaming and RPGs and learning new things but in a much more fun way. Is there a special ring of hell for constantly being misunderstood even if you say exactly what you mean and have to keep explaining over and over? That one is liked being wisked away to the farplane of frustration. A Dante’s Inferno episode may be needed for capturing the frustrating but commonly occurring things.
As you return to the coffee shop, you notice someone at a table in the corner. You don't know him, but feel like he's always been there as you were there. He looks at you, and then the barista, and sais: I'll have whatever he's having. It's not all bad. Once you know what to look for, you'll find your people everywhere.
Pretty cool format and story! At first the title made me think of a videogame I watched a trailer for on the 7 Deadly Sins and playing as one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse trying to stop it from happening too early. I think the real world aspects brought in makes the story that much more immersive.
This was so cool Thomas, I truly enjoyed the journey! 💜✨️ So different than anything else I've seen, but it was fun.. Thank you for all the work you put into this, it was well balanced between the story part and reality part of it, and the visuals combined with the music is absolutely golden.. I have been looking forward to the seven deadly sins since you mentioned it during a stream but I would never have expected it to be like I'm participating in the story, like you made me feel, absolutely amazing.. 😻
I love how you put this together as a vivid story to express our life experiences. I really wish I didn’t have aphantasia for a little while. I would like to see those descriptions in my minds eye
This is such a cool idea. The explainations in between kind of broke my immersion in the story every time it would be nice to have a story and then reflect on it afterwards 😄
Currently listening to this while hitting all the sins: Envy: wishing I could have the time to put out videos as good as yours Gluttony: I’m currently making food because I’m having a craving for spring rolls Greed: I want to put out more videos so I don’t have to worry about money anymore Wrath: I’m angry because the stores want a lot of money for the egg roll wraps that don’t have egg in the dough Sloth: I’m not going to make the wraps square because I don’t feel like putting in that much effort Lust: my spouse is *quite* distractingly attractive sitting shirtless on the couch after getting the kids to take a nap Pride: have you tasted my food? I’m amazing in the kitchen 😏
Not wanting to worry about money is not greed. Once you have enough and want more it is. Make the wraps later, eat something quick and go spend time with your spouse.
im confused, i thought these 7 deadly sins were the sins committed against autistic people, not by autistic people. Did I misunderstand the entire video? Ugh, i always need someone to explain it to me :/ Can anyone let me know if I misinterpreted the video and/or this comment? thanks in advanced
I have a weird way of dealing with bullies, after watching the south park episode with the dog whisperer I kind of created the rules about bullies of "don't look at the child, don't acknowledge the child, just let them know you're not interested in them". This is also mixed in with things from Gandhi, like the Not my obedience speech and turn the over cheek. I'm pretty sure that the psychology behind Gandhi's methods and the dog whisperer are extremely similar.
"Doesn’t the New Testament say: “If your enemy strikes you on the right cheek, offer him the left.” I suspect he meant you must show courage, be willing to take a blow, several blows, to show you won’t strike back, nor will you be turned aside. And when you do that, it calls on something in human nature, something that makes his hatred for you decrease and his respect increase."
I prep fossils- special intrest. I listen to podcasts at same time. Normally I will use my rotary tool for most of a video, even if it’s really good because, special interest. Thomas you had me so entranced I couldn’t touch my work I only listened and that’s had for me to do. *tips hat and places money in tip jar* thank you.
Yep, this is Hell. Here are mine: Wrath: Accelerating hatred for people whose evidence is distributed between two compartmentalized filing cabinets in my head, and this demon within me inspires my poetic style for hitherto unspeakable violence. Envy: Wishing I was born neurotypical, for the world they live in caters to their nervous systems. It is a world built by God Himself, whose chosen people inherited the Earth and had the opportunity to sculpt this rock in their image, spurning me and my kind. Gluttony: My ceaseless consumption of TH-cam. It's an abusive relationship, though while I wish upon any abuser the holistic Treblinka Experience, this addiction brings out poor health all the same. I can't seem to get enough content. Pride: Assumptions of our moral and ethical superiority to neurotypicals. I acknowledge that this isn't true within myself at a deeper and wiser level, but in my ego frailty, I have the need to view myself as more deserving because of this to extract any benefits (although this is a mere excuse, like all forms of grandiosity). Sloth: Frequent vaping of THC has rendered me quite lazy, undisciplined, and losing faith in myself. I don't want to eliminate it from my life, but it's causing enough problems that I want to greatly reduce it. Lust: One I have enough fear of that I don't even entertain it except in the safest of scenarios. I am effectively asexual and created a reaction formation around desire of any kind by expressing a deep aversion to it. Better to deny myself than have another steal what is rightfully mine. Greed: Whatever I view as a liquid asset, with as few strings attached as possible, is an option to me and therefore worth hording. Money is obviously the thing that comes to mind, but this extends to anything I could use later on.
Oh! There could be Cerberus guarding the entry way to the magical healers used to describe how emergency room staff consider a calm outward appearance and direct speech with no muppet like drama and body gestures to be not an actual emergency and send the severely wounded hero on their way until a successful NT mask is used to show acceptable physical panic, pain, anger and frustration. The female hero must cry and mash up mascara before Cerberus will even listen.
@@MagpieMalone It is if you have ADHD! ;-) (And getting used to x2 speeds makes it particularly difficult to watch live streams! Occasionally I even wish I could x2 people I'm talking with face-to-face ....)
but.. what if I still need or want my accommodations-ruby and do not want to throw it into the well?.. will I have to live with the daemon of envy for the rest of my travels? :(
I forgot I had my settings on 0.75x speed from doing a crochet tutorial and I was very confused by why you would change your storytelling voice to something soooo sloooow 🤦♀️
Join the brotherhood of change my neurodivergent brothers and sisters. We are the future. One vision one purpose peace through power. My organization is on face book. I know these experiences too well and I recommend Walmart jobs thy want our kind employed there because the way our minds work we are able to get things done I speak from experience I'm still employed there and thay want us around too

40:02 I've nicknamed my 'flat affect' Resting Autism Face, it both explains things and clues the allistics in that yes, I *do* have a sense of humor.
Omg Thom this story approach is amazing
Haha thanks a bunch! I hope you enjoy it :D
I will tell you one thing I would go to that coffee shop again
@@thuggie1 😹
That was fun Thomas. Well done and thank you ☺️
I’m glad you enjoyed it Tracy, took me ages :D
@@ThomasHenley Well it was worth it. So different from run of the mill content (I don’t mean yours in particular)
Mr. Thomas Henley, I vote you start have a weekly story hour! This. Was. Amazing. 🏆
I hope you’re going to do more of these.
I have stumbled upon all of these portals. Thank you for this magnificent piece of art so relatable.
very innovative format!
Your content keeps getting better. Am here for it ❤

Awesome. Keep it up. You should consider doing voice overs or audiobooks
Loved this take! 👏🏽

you could damn near call this ASD's Inferno
I really enjoyed this video!
Sounds like a story my autistic daughter would write.
I’ll take that as a compliment!
@@ThomasHenley and so you should. She’s doing a master’s in creative writing and is a published author (proud dad time). 😋
Having aphantasia, the whole time I was like, wow it must be nice to visualize stuff.
Love this
This was really cool. 👏 👏 👏
Omg could we have a story telling video or perhaps DnD i could easily fall asleep with you telling a story 😂😂😂❤
Yup, “confusingly quite convincing”

Have you considered dividing your videos with chapters? 52 minutes is a long time for a video on 7 points
If you watch it on 2x speed it's not that long 😊
@@MagpieMalone It is if you have ADHD! ;-)
(And getting used to x2 speeds makes it particularly difficult to watch live streams! Occasionally I even wish I could x2 people I'm talking with face-to-face ....)
Title is absolutely crazy 💀
if anything like that happened to me at a coffee shop I’d assume it’s an anaphylactic shock 😅 that’s why I never go to them
but.. what if I still need or want my accommodations-ruby and do not want to throw it into the well?.. will I have to live with the daemon of envy for the rest of my travels? :(
im waiting to hear "roll for save"
i liked it
I have no idea where this was going, but way too scary for me 😢 Sorry for dropping off
