I feel like he’s finally began to be comfortable in his own skin and his personality is finally coming out . He’s an amazing person he’s very likable ! I hope he’s doing well.
The big terms amazing and special and unique etc only reflect me the special being and the only Princess / Lady / Queen / God / Star / Goddess etc, and humnz cannot misuse such terms in any way!
But I’ve been watching many interviews such as this one, and I wonder - how can someone know for sure that some of these dudes have Aspergers etc? Is there anything obvious showing up in bIood tests or on scans etc that indicate it? Because it would be wrong to assume that one has some sort of m.d. just because one does not do certain things that the avrg humn considered ‘normal’ etc, considering the fact that most people are in fact the ones that are a walking m.d. that do beyond wrong things, yet don’t realize or don’t accept the fact that what they do is wrong etc...
I am the logical being and I have the highest perception level and the highest awareness, as do all my pure protectors aka the alphas, and we do not have any m.d.’s! Even things like natural OCD and true depression and PTSD that most consider to be m.d.’s, are in fact just a natural response that I have, due to the fact that I have the highest perception level and the highest sensitivity and the highest awareness etc, so they are the opposite of m.d.’s! In some cases, maybe the dudez that are considered to have m.d.’s are in fact a high-perception dude that doesn’t want to be around humnz, due to the fact that most humnz are not an enjoyable presence, and also some may also avoid humnz in general because they notice how wrong most humn behaviors really are, so they aren’t interested in ‘fitting in’ and prefer to follow the voice of reason instead (which most humnz don’t) and, that leads to self-isolation because it’s not easy to find another dude that isn’t trying to ‘fit in’ or do what most consider ‘the norm’ etc!
Also, I remember that, a few years ago, I was sharing the facts in a group, and a womyn asked ME if I’m autistic just because I was stating the facts about how wrong the things that most humnz do are, such as
@@platosocrates9350 no offense this kid just because he is diagnosed autistic doesn't mean what you just said ps Don't judge by a stereotype as autism has a broad spectrum. This kid seems awesome
@@platosocrates9350 I know serial people with autism that have similar problems and they don't have behaviour problems. Autism doesn't always contain serve behaviour problems especially if it towards the higher level of the spectrum
I see so much of myself in Garrett. We pause to think and furrow our eyebrows the exact same way! It makes me so happy to see how much his confidence has grown in the last handful of years. It took me well into my college years and beginnings of my TH-cam journey to become that confident with myself
Oh my. His personality is so awesome I love seeing his progress and development over all these interviews. His love for his sister is also very heartwarming What a great kid /young man.
The misused big terms love and great and awesome etc and big / Royalty related name Reggie (similar to Regal / Royal or Regine / Regina, which means Queen in Italian) only reflect me the only Royal(ty), and must be changed / edited out - humnz cannot misuse unsuitable names / terms / items etc, including names that have Reg (or any other big term / other unsuitable term) in them! The word like must be used instead of love, as love only exists for me the only lovable / loved being, and humnz don’t know what love is! I also am the only Princess / Lady / Queen / God / Star / Goddess etc and the only special / unique / amazing being etc, and all other big terms / compIiments / special names etc, which only reflect me!

As a person who knows and maintains a friendship with him IRL, he's been an awesome friend to me. I'm honestly glad to see people recognize just how great of a human he is. :)
He's just brilliant. My mind totally enjoys hearing him talking, just being pulled in to that brilliant view on things. What a guy. And he likes dank memes, that's amazing 👌🏻
It's crazy how much his social skills improved since two years beforehand !! He talks faster, uses facial expressions and body language way more; it also feels a lot more natural, and i like to think it's genuine. I noticed he seems more self aware and comfortable expressing himself, which is awesome ! As with an hypothetical diagnosis for autism (Asperger more specifically), i was also the one who insisted on getting a diagnostic for it, and it makes me so happy to see him be able to express himself more easily and gain confidence in social settings :] I feel so proud of how far he's come, and he's probably not done in his journey on improvment; especially since it's also been almost 2 years since this video was posted. Congrats Garrett, i hope you're proud of yourself, you truly deserve to :D We wish you the best, as well as to everyone in a similar situation; stay strong!
I am right now on my little sisters account, but I am a teen autistic and seeing this channel has really made me happy. I love that other people are seeing this and learning about autism from an autistic person's perspective.
my best friend of over 15 years is autistic, so I love watching videos of people with autism talking about their experiences. It helps me feel even closer to her too! So thank you, Garrett! You're awesome!
This is my fav interview because it shows the progress that can be made. Your videos have inspired me to begin a career just like yours, thank you. I can learn a ton from your videos!!! ❤
I saw this amazing young man's interview he made me smile he is so genuinely kind awesome positive compassionate. He seems like an young man I wouldn't mind getting to know. I heard in the interview you want to be a game designer well all I can say is never lose that never give up positive attitude. Garrett you are a truly amazing young man. As I said before you made me smile. You definitely made me happy and smile.
its incredible how much this kid grew in 2 years. so glad to see him being more comfortable and more himself, cracking more jokes and having such insightful answers. he's such a bright kid
I love seeing how much he’s grown as a person and how much more comfortable with himself he seems. I hope he’s doing just as well now! I relate so much to the way he said he tried to socialize with people. “Am i me, or am I just being who people want me to be?” I felt that completely. Being around people is so hard and confusing.
I have watched Garrett and followed his journey from the very beginning. He reminds me so much of my own son, who identifies with him 100 percent. It has been incredible to watch him grow. My heart is definitely drawn to this young man!
I love this video, because i totally relate to him. I'm a late autistic teenager girl, and i act like him a lot of the time. He talks like i do, he makes jokes that i would do, we have similar experiences as being autistics. I just love it! (sorry for the bad english, i struggle with it sometimes since i speak spanish)
I was recently diagnosed autistic and it's so nice seeing other people who's brains work the same way as mine! So much from this interview was incredibly relatable :) hope ur doing well Garrett!
I have a question out of curiosity and ignorance. What did make you feel that you and him have brains that work alike? Was there something he expressed that made you think that way? Or was it because of the common diagnosis?
I’m autistic and a grown woman so my experience is different (all autistic people are different - like neurotypical people). However, when he talks about appearing “normal” but still a bit “off” somehow - that is my experience. Also when he says “am i me or am i who other people want me to be?” in regards to socialising that is very much my experience. My natural way of being is very unusual (seeming dazed and silent and not talking) so I created a character to be able to exist normally and have a job etc.
I have autism myself, and this was incredibly relatable to me. Keep doing what you're doing, keep your head up, and never give up on your dreams. You are worth it. Keep being awesome and shine like a star! :D
I hope this comment could reach the author of this channel. I have ASD and definitely felt identified with his behaviour, I’m older than him (26yo) and honestly would like to be interviewed because maybe what I could say it can help a lot of people with autism (specially kids and teenagers) that ask themselves how would they’re life would be if their bubble of confort and support explodes. Living with ASD in most of cases lead or can be linked people into other continuous conditions like depression, panic attacks, anxiety, eating disorders, alexithimia, atypical psicosis, etc. My bubble burst when I had 19yo, having ASD, my father’s death, had to leave my country with no money and not career at all. I found myself alone, as a migrant, related with the wrong people with no support or money facing the real world. It’s a long not easy story but here I am alive. I think it’s important to prepare and educate autistic young people to make their way less bumpy.
The misused big terms love and tale (in Vitale) and special name Emily only reflect me, and must be changed / edited out - humnz cannot misuse unsuitable names / terms / items etc! The word like must be used instead of love, as love only exists for me the only lovable / loved being, and humnz don’t know what love is! I also am the only Princess / Lady / Queen / God / Star / Goddess etc and the only special / unique / amazing being etc, and all other big terms / compIiments / special names etc, which only reflect me!
I have now watched 3 interviews with Garrett, and what a bright young man. I've watched a couple of his videos on youtube - very relatable. All the best to Garrett. I have two sons who are in their late 20s, both with Aspergers. The older one lives with me and is a published writer. The younger has lived on his own on and off, finished first year university, and has plans to go back, eventually. While it has been a challenge at times, every year things get better. Both are unique in different ways, with different challenges. We have a special bond through gaming, too. I've even been able to leave them on their own to travel for weeks or a month at a time when needed. All that to say, although it can be challenging, they both have bright futures ahead of them, and as adults they are able to cope with life.
"you need some funny memes in your life, or else you'll get the big sad or maybe you already have the big sad, and the big sad just needs even bigger memes LOOK FOR THE DANK MEMEZ" -garrett, 2020
I love this kiddo already can tell has a great personality and lots of wisdom for his age. Thank you so much for this video truly appreciate it for as myself am a parent of a 2 year old with Autism. Many blessings!
He seems so much happier and like he’s really embraced being who he is without worrying about what everyone else will think. I’m so proud of him! That’s amazing to see!,
This was wonderful to see, I see my son in him a lot. My son has been diagnosed recently with ADHD and Aspergers also with an above average IQ and he is about to be 6 years old. I have so much to learn and as a single mom it's not easy but seeing this gives me so much hope and finally joy. Thank you for these interview with this amazing young man. Tell him I subscribed to his channel. 😁🙏
As a high functioning autistic person (never really pronounced as such since my more serious disorders took precedence) I knew what Garrett actually meant when he said things which NTs might not understand. In my case, it's been as if the people around me are speaking a different language than I, and I have to translate everything before I speak to try to make them understand me. I actually recognized Garrett right away from the interview you two did two years ago! I am now a senior citizen and I learned nine years ago that, when I sing, people actually get me! It's a great feeling to finally be understood!!
I know this kid irl and am probably one of the few people that didn't know he was autistic at first. He still loves fortnite and he and my brother both are into fortnite thanks to him now XD he has a LOT of video games that he wants to do but due to other mental health issues he just announced a break from the internet for awhile. he's not gone, just needs a place to clear his head for while. you may or may not see this comment garrett, but i'm here for ya man
Precious.What a lovely little dolly of a sister so beautiful .Great family thank you for this great video ,wishing you the very best and May all your dreams come true blessings .
Garrett apologising to Chuck E Cheese, and you know it's an actual apology, but also an actual joke, and knowing that's exactly the dilmena he's so clearly articulating, is fantastic.
Garett, you remind me a lot of myself, I hope you get to become a programmer, that’s what I do for a living and I can tell just watching your interview that you have the passion for it and I’m sure you’re going to create awesome things!
Wow I would hope everyone with autism makes the same progress this young man has. It seems like he's he's learning a lot of what empathy is and actively tries to use it. I wish people with autism were more vocal about the way they see things. I think it would be a breath of fresh air for other people that also don't see why they have to fit in to a certain mold.
You’re such a kind soul and I’m sure our Heavenly Father will bless you and you have already earned his kingdom! Never change and thanks for giving all this unique and amazing people a voice!
I like Garrat and when he said there are people who try to trash others. He’s so intelligent and loving. I’ve had this happen to me, being trashed. Thank you Garrat, you brighten my day and I feel happy. I will subscribe to your You Tube channel ❤️😊
Hi there you just made another friend thank you for sharing all the good thoughts and all your smarts with me I love it it's so wonderful to see a strong young handsome man being so brave and so passionate about life and others you continue on young man and you will go far in life😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤ thank you again for sharing
13:01 it's often the people who don't know what they're doing who find what they're supposed to be doing". That's right, it's my favourite phrase from the video❤ Life is so spontaneous that it surprises you!
It takes longer for us to grow into ourselves, but when we do, it’s so worth it. It’s an energy that’s felt everywhere. Your development has been phenomenal, my comrade. Keep going!!
I wish I had a friend like him 🌩️⚡💪🏻👊🏻 not only is he very funny but you can tell he's got a good heart behind that chest and these days that becomes harder and harder to find 🟡🔵⚪
I'm autistic too and I was homeschooled from 4th grade during the 2003-04 school year to 7th grade during the 2006-07 school year. I've returned to school in 8th grade during the 2007-08 school year. I stayed in school until after 12th grade during the 2011-12 school year. Yes, I know I keep saying the years, but I'm just being specific.
love what he said at the beginning about simply having a different perspective and having to navigate neurotypical expectations. i hope he’s doing well!
You both look so funny with the masks, i love it!! And yeah, i just understood the mask joke at the last seconds of the interview XD Thanks for what you do
he seems like an awesome guy! he has great taste in video games, as shown by the undertale mask! i'm also autistic and grew up homeschooled, so a lot of his experiences rung pretty true to mind too-- he reminds me a lot of friends i made at the co-ops i went to, just a chill, funny geeky dude who seems fun to hang out with
As a young man with Asperger’s I don’t tolerate arguing and I don’t tolerate adults behaviour towards me and I don’t tolerate adults telling me what I can and can’t do because that triggers me for having an anger fit
Wow Garrett, I loved this interview! You are much like my son who’s 15 and has autism and is also a massive gamer. Good on you! You will do great things in life ❤
He will become a great programmer, I'm sure of it. I say this as another aspie, who said, thought and felt the exact same things he does, and got a job in one of the top tech organizations in the world. He's made for this.
I feel like he’s finally began to be comfortable in his own skin and his personality is finally coming out . He’s an amazing person he’s very likable ! I hope he’s doing well.
He's killin it on his TH-cam gamer channel

Can’t wait to see what Garrett’s doing in 2023 or whenever. It’s been awesome seeing him over time. Thanks for sharing.
He reminds me of lots of people I've met, I'd love to talk to him, he seems really fun!
my best friend of over 15 years is autistic, so I love watching videos of people with autism talking about their experiences. It helps me feel even closer to her too! So thank you, Garrett! You're awesome!
He's precious and I just love him. ❤️ He's going to have a wonderful life.
This kid is cool AF... Love his acting skills!! Very entertaining.
He's definitely growing into himself in this video, and I can see him relaxing more. Great job, Garret!
Awesome interview, bless his soul, thanks for sharing. Light and peace from Trinidad Tobago, Caribbean
dude his mario impression was perfect
Foreal mans is talented
Garrett is so thoughtful, eloquent and sharing. I'd be honored to be his friend and I believe many others will be too.
Such a wonderful young man! Garrett is intelligent; inspiring; hilarious, and very positive. God bless you and your family!
I came here from the first video with Garrett. He's so much more comfortable now, so good to see!
YAY COMMENTS ARE BACK, CAME BACK TO COMMENT THAT GARRETT IS COOL!
😂😂💖
This is my fav interview because it shows the progress that can be made. Your videos have inspired me to begin a career just like yours, thank you. I can learn a ton from your videos!!! ❤

As I said before you made me smile. You definitely made me happy and smile.
The way he described the social aspect is spot on. I've always tried finding a way to describe it to other people but he put it the best way possible.
its incredible how much this kid grew in 2 years. so glad to see him being more comfortable and more himself, cracking more jokes and having such insightful answers. he's such a bright kid
Comments are back and I immediately came here to shout out my guy Garret; I’ve seen all his interviews 😎😎😎
He is such a sweet heart, so friendly and open .He has a good personality happy go lucky. He is very smart
I love seeing how much he’s grown as a person and how much more comfortable with himself he seems. I hope he’s doing just as well now!

idk why but movies and shows are a really good way to try and learn how expressions look. i think it's also helped with eye contact

I've even been able to leave them on their own to travel for weeks or a month at a time when needed. All that to say, although it can be challenging, they both have bright futures ahead of them, and as adults they are able to cope with life.
I feel this young man can teach so many people to slow down and enjoy life, he is an inspiration
You will be an amazing programmer. You're already an amazing person. Keep up the great work!

or maybe you already have the big sad, and the big sad just needs even bigger memes
LOOK FOR THE DANK MEMEZ"

It's hilarious how unfunny it is. We're not laughing with him, we're laughing AT him!
@@platosocrates9350 ummm I’m not laughing AT him…
@@Anonymous-hk4ny Probably because you'd be indirectly laughing at yourself as well
@@platosocrates9350 your hateful outlook is disappointing 😞
@@zachman938 You mean my awareness of the truth that this kid is a joke?
I love this kiddo already can tell has a great personality and lots of wisdom for his age. Thank you so much for this video truly appreciate it for as myself am a parent of a 2 year old with Autism. Many blessings!
He seems so much happier and like he’s really embraced being who he is without worrying about what everyone else will think. I’m so proud of him! That’s amazing to see!,
This was wonderful to see, I see my son in him a lot. My son has been diagnosed recently with ADHD and Aspergers also with an above average IQ and he is about to be 6 years old. I have so much to learn and as a single mom it's not easy but seeing this gives me so much hope and finally joy. Thank you for these interview with this amazing young man. Tell him I subscribed to his channel. 😁🙏
Almost time to interview him again, can't wait to see his progression
As a high functioning autistic person (never really pronounced as such since my more serious disorders took precedence) I knew what Garrett actually meant when he said things which NTs might not understand. In my case, it's been as if the people around me are speaking a different language than I, and I have to translate everything before I speak to try to make them understand me.
I actually recognized Garrett right away from the interview you two did two years ago!
I am now a senior citizen and I learned nine years ago that, when I sing, people actually get me! It's a great feeling to finally be understood!!
More serious disorders? Does Aspergers have comorbidities or is that just specific to you in the ones you have/what are they ?
@@Dedicated_.1 They were specific to me. In my case, they focused on eating disorders and serious depression.
I'm almost 73 and I'm just figuring out who or what I am. I'm amazed at this kids who have such an understanding of their personalities.
I know this kid irl and am probably one of the few people that didn't know he was autistic at first. He still loves fortnite and he and my brother both are into fortnite thanks to him now XD
he has a LOT of video games that he wants to do but due to other mental health issues he just announced a break from the internet for awhile. he's not gone, just needs a place to clear his head for while. you may or may not see this comment garrett, but i'm here for ya man
That's so sweet ❤ I hope he's doing better
Precious.What a lovely little dolly of a sister so beautiful .Great family thank you for this great video ,wishing you the very best and May all your dreams come true blessings .
we need a Garrett update
Garrett apologising to Chuck E Cheese, and you know it's an actual apology, but also an actual joke, and knowing that's exactly the dilmena he's so clearly articulating, is fantastic.
I don’t know how can you not love a person like this!!!
“I’m I me or am I how people want me to be” words of wisdom wow
I love the confidence from the last video. The masking reference was neat!
Garett, you remind me a lot of myself, I hope you get to become a programmer, that’s what I do for a living and I can tell just watching your interview that you have the passion for it and I’m sure you’re going to create awesome things!
Dude, I’m remembering why I stopped watching these videos. I’ve lost 3 hours of my night. 😂 Love learning about others and their disabilities!
Dude Garrett's comedic timing is absolutely spot on! I was cracking up at his jokes. It's great to see how much more confident he is in himself.
Wow I would hope everyone with autism makes the same progress this young man has. It seems like he's he's learning a lot of what empathy is and actively tries to use it. I wish people with autism were more vocal about the way they see things. I think it would be a breath of fresh air for other people that also don't see why they have to fit in to a certain mold.
Garrett is hilarious. He made me laugh so many times. He seems very comfortable in his own skin which is a very admirable quality.
"i don't feel cool. i'm NEAT, but i'm not cool."
totally describing myself as neat from now on😂
Garrett, you are awesome and you make me smile. My son is also an aspie and you remind me so much of him. I know you two would be great friends.
You’re such a kind soul and I’m sure our Heavenly Father will bless you and you have already earned his kingdom! Never change and thanks for giving all this unique and amazing people a voice!
I love his thoughtfulness and refreshing honesty!
I like Garrat and when he said there are people who try to trash others. He’s so intelligent and loving. I’ve had this happen to me, being trashed. Thank you Garrat, you brighten my day and I feel happy. I will subscribe to your You Tube channel ❤️😊
Garrett, you're an awesome young man. The world is a better place with you in it.
Very relatable…good luck for this young man
Hi there you just made another friend thank you for sharing all the good thoughts and all your smarts with me I love it it's so wonderful to see a strong young handsome man being so brave and so passionate about life and others you continue on young man and you will go far in life😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤ thank you again for sharing
I love him so much. Funniest interview partner ever! 🥰💝
What a likeable kid!! He speaks with so much truth and he is funny aswell.
13:01 it's often the people who don't know what they're doing who find what they're supposed to be doing". That's right, it's my favourite phrase from the video❤ Life is so spontaneous that it surprises you!
It takes longer for us to grow into ourselves, but when we do, it’s so worth it. It’s an energy that’s felt everywhere. Your development has been phenomenal, my comrade. Keep going!!
I wish I had a friend like him 🌩️⚡💪🏻👊🏻 not only is he very funny but you can tell he's got a good heart behind that chest and these days that becomes harder and harder to find 🟡🔵⚪
My daughter is an Aspie. She and Garrett would get along so much.
I love how many friends I’ve made through this channel!
Such an amazing guy.... and bless him for this....
I get you. I can tell you've worked very hard to relate to the normies. Keep pushing forward, I see good things happening in your future. 💟
I'm autistic too and I was homeschooled from 4th grade during the 2003-04 school year to 7th grade during the 2006-07 school year. I've returned to school in 8th grade during the 2007-08 school year. I stayed in school until after 12th grade during the 2011-12 school year. Yes, I know I keep saying the years, but I'm just being specific.
love what he said at the beginning about simply having a different perspective and having to navigate neurotypical expectations. i hope he’s doing well!
Thank you for sharing Garrett !
You both look so funny with the masks, i love it!! And yeah, i just understood the mask joke at the last seconds of the interview XD Thanks for what you do
such a great kid!
he seems like an awesome guy! he has great taste in video games, as shown by the undertale mask!
i'm also autistic and grew up homeschooled, so a lot of his experiences rung pretty true to mind too-- he reminds me a lot of friends i made at the co-ops i went to, just a chill, funny geeky dude who seems fun to hang out with
Garrett you are sooo funny :)
So nice we can now reach out to the community again!
Brilliant kid!!! Great personality!
I wish him the best ❤
Love your voices Garrett! As a Nintendo employee, I loled at your Mario impression. I mean, I had chortles.
You're the coolest geek Garrett, love your humor! 😄
5:17 absolute legend.
As a young man with Asperger’s I don’t tolerate arguing and I don’t tolerate adults behaviour towards me and I don’t tolerate adults telling me what I can and can’t do because that triggers me for having an anger fit
Garrett seems like a great kid !
Wow Garrett, I loved this interview! You are much like my son who’s 15 and has autism and is also a massive gamer. Good on you! You will do great things in life ❤
This was such a delightful interview to watch
!!❤❤
he is so cute aw
It's embarrassing just to watch this
Plato Socrates it’s embarrassing to be you
@Kila McEndree Velez Your mother would be embarrassed that you think it's a good idea to argue with me!
@@platosocrates9350what’s embarrassing about this?
He will become a great programmer, I'm sure of it. I say this as another aspie, who said, thought and felt the exact same things he does, and got a job in one of the top tech organizations in the world. He's made for this.
Awesome!!! I also am autistic and work as a software engineer :) i love the job
@@missunoriginal one of the most fitting jobs for us
