- A new program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center offers primary medical care and social support for the often “forgotten” patients who have autism. The Center for Autism Services and Transition (CAST), is a clinic specifically designed to care for adults with autism spectrum disorders.
Christopher Hanks, MD, an Internal Medicine physician at Ohio State, says that the center wants to provide a place for adults to come for medical care knowing that there's an entire staff who truly understands their needs. Dr. Hanks says CAST can also help with things like continuing education courses or job opportunities to help adults with autism transition into a world that can be very intimidating.

As someone with autism (I’m on the much more mild side but still have issues with schooling, etc to give you an idea), I can confirm that we are a tightly weaved community that loves to help each other and see each other grow and thrive. I was in special needs schooling for 3 and a half years, and when you’re in that sort of situation, you feel like a family. Everyone loves each other and we all look out for each other. I’ve since returned to normal schooling and things have been going great, but sometimes I do miss the family feeling I got while at special needs schooling, which is why I’m so grateful that people are dedicated to creating autism resources. I actually live in Columbus and while I myself probably won’t require these, I would definitely consider contributing to them because the more people you have supporting you that understand first hand, really makes a big difference. Just to everyone that does their best to make our lives better: thank you. It truly means the world.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LARP

I have autism and I’m 12 it’s hard for me and I het scared easily but I’m getting outside of my comfort zone
@@sigiligusgrow up 8 year old oh I know very hard to guess your age go to your mom and cry.

I was diagnosed with autism when I was 9, I’m high functioning but I really struggled with my social skills and school wasn’t always easy for me because of my learning disability. But I was lucky and had parents that did whatever they could to support me and help me succeed, now I’m a teachers assistant working with high school students with autism and other special needs, and I’m really grateful I am able to help my students the way I was helped when I was their age
If you're not in diapers you don't got autism...
As older parents with an autistic only son, we really worry about what will become of our son after we pass away.
I think any parent worries about that, but especially ones with children who have special needs. I hope you can find some comfort for the future when you think about the resources your son has. The world is getting so much more open-minded about autism every day. Im sure you’ll both be here for many more years so there will be even more positive changes as you all grow.
Take care ❤❤
Do what you can while your here
How old is he?
And another thing I didn't mean people who are just semi autistic I mean people who are completely autistic and I beyond help
High functioning autism stuff@@rajgosh9099
He's so cute. What a good guy!! I bet he came a long way. That's proof and a testament to early intervention and trained teachers
Seriously? He is not a child
@@c0rxpseb0i13He was a child, like everyone.
I have aspergers syndrome and it really does make me who I am today
same here!
same
@mechanism6648 Dude not cool. If your think about saying something like that again then don't say it at all
Not everyone with autism is the same@mechanism6648
@mechanism6648you need prison, that’s blatantly obvious. I’m sure there’s a hate speech law that’ll get you there, I’m willing to help in that effort.
God bless that doctor
I just don’t talk but it’s going away I was bullied for not being someone’s friend I am homeschooled and I have a chance to go to middle school if anyone can tell me some stuff that might change my mind that will mean the world to me
So after time it ends and be fluent in talking
Awe he seems so sweet and to himself what a sweet kid
My uncle is 73 with autism. Low level but still autistic, they didn't know what it was when he was younger.
This is wonderfully caring of this doctor
We need more doctors like him❤
It is amazing to see these developments, I have a more moderate form of autism (somewhere between mild and severe), and seeing our community help and build upon each other is the autism community I know. And thank you to the doctors for improving care, once I am more independent that speaking online part will help exponentially!
This is fantastic, there really is so little for autistic adults to support independence, it's usually either having a lot of care from professionals & family or just struggling through life unsupported which leaves so many people not able to live a happy healthy life. I also think having autistic teachers & TAs in autistic schools is a really good idea, they can bring in knowledge that no amount of academia could provide.
i have a son which is autistic also but it was mild. im so worried since he is now turning 8. I love watching videos like this. to get ideas on what to do or not to do.❤
the doctor sounds like a lighter voiced version of yoda 😂😂
Brandon Cortez Oh god all I can see is Yoda with his haircut whenever he talks now.
He even have similar ears 😁
Cute, he must have a dry throat/getting over a cold.
More like Jordan Peterson

“You are never alone,” said the voice. “Not now, not ever.”
In some countries it is pretty worse... I hate myself because ASD+ADHD.... People around not understand....
don't give up! Stay strong . you are here for a reason.
People brush it off as an excuse but it's a real thing
I think this is more concerning for intellectual disability rather then primary autism. Many autistic folks can live independently. Many people with autism AND intellectual disabilities require care.
With respect, most of us aren't like this (they make ASD look like down syndrome in the video), and are able to blend in via masking. For us, it's not a "disorder" that one treats, but is a condition in which we communicate and process data input differently than others. It's a linguistic/language difference. We only mask who we are to be less socially awkward and to fit in.
Boost this comment upwards guys
yeah, autism a lot of the time is not an intellectual disorder and it doesn't always hinder our learning.
for anyone with autism watching this and wondering how they can improve, use imitation, emulate behaviors of neurotipicals, worked like a charm for me, social skills wise
I feel bad for them. May they live good.
I’m 18, and I may not be all ready to grow up but I do have all my other autistic friends to find my place in this world (especially as an artist too)
Was diagnosed in 1965 with autism. The specialist at that time said to my mum, “it’s a shame that there aren’t special schools for children like me” - 1965. Can’t imagine how that’d hurt a parent. Since then it’s been a mess of menial labour work, arrests, firings, social rejections and exclusion, alcohol abuse, partnerlessness, childlessness and living alone. It’s difficult to find any blessings out of that, but….maybe it’s God working through me, I just don’t know.
On the spectrum myself and transgender (female to male). I am glad this is happening and school and college were never easy for me socially. Academics were never an issue but it is so hard to make friends today in the work place 😢
Autistic adult and yeah feel pretty hopeless not really sure what to do with my life to be honest
Reach out brother, you are not alone, keep your head held high king you can accomplish anything you put your mind too
If you not in diapers you don't got autism... No excuse. Get out of your mom's basement, and get a part time job!
I on the low end of autism spectrum and go to the doctor regularly. I don't not use ER for my medical needs unless in is am emergency. People with autism can be succin life if their get the help their need from school and mom and dad when growing up.
As an autistic teenager on the edge of adulthood, I'm glad my family has been here my whole life keeping me safe and treating me like a person. We're still ironing out the kinks- such as PTSD from High school bullies and a serious fear of public bathroom handryers- but I'm looking forward to my life, and I think a lot of autistic people should too. We've got this, lads and laddettes.
Aww the assistant is so cute
Unfortunately and sadly suffer... at 28 years old with this... life is hell with it
What happens to autistic kids that become adults depends on the type of autism and level(spectrum) You only showed one example.
If they not in diapers they don't got autism... Kick them out of mom's basement and get them a job at ihop...
My man annoys me profusely, but also is the kindest man. It takes extreme patience to live with an adult (we call it asbergers)
good center.
As an older brother to a younger brother who has autism, I really worry about what will happen to him when he's an adult and me or my parents are gone.
Autistic adults such as myself are often just abandoned as soon as high school ends and there is very little to no infrastructure in place (at least here in the US) for autistic adults to continue services
I'm a medium functioning autistic 13 y/o, who is turning 14 soon. I have ADHD as well. I'm mildly concerned about what I'll do when I'm 18... But I also have alot of ideas in mind too. Im really into music, geography, trains, electricity, etc. pretty typical for most autistic kids.
i think that i will be a autistic adult
if your not autistic,you won't be
Did you become a autistic adult?
0:28, doubt.
11.5 Billion per year sounds way to high 💀
I doubt it's any more than 1 million
The US spends around 1 trillion on healthcare so yeah
Interesting video!
I love autistic people, they’re so nice
The teacher is advanced
Why is this is the musical ygs playlist?
In a sense, they remain as children
As sad and cruel as that may sound
Those idiots on twitter dont seem to realize that.
This is happening to me right now & i can't find the proper help
10 years later i think of how he is and where is he at it a scary feeling but my hopes are down
really scared for my future tbh ik im gonna fail im so tired im not even diagnosed but i already know im autistic but since im a girl it’s not the first conclusion to why my behavior is how it is.
u gonna be the next chris chan dw
Aye I’m an autistic as well but don’t lose hope. I know sometimes I think like that but I don’t think that is how my life is exactly going to be. I know that sometimes life can be hard and we struggle in some of our life’s aspects but that doesn’t really mean you lost everything or that it’s the end of the world. I pray that God blessed you and guides you wherever you are. :)
11.5 billion spent f that build a resort for them let them chill
i’m an autistic kid and i’m doing great (i’m deathly obsessed with hit indie game geometry dash - made by robtop and moderated primarily by viprin)
Careful not to break your hand like riot did. What's your favorite completed demon difficulty level?
Bro geometry dash is the definition of taking a silly 2D cube game into a multiverse 💀
they mask bc of this shitty system
Being on the spectrum, I often wonder if I won't find the one. That since I have limited interests, that means I won't have much in common with any woman.
I have OCD, so these might be intrusive thoughts/worries.
I wish I could be there I have autism of spectrum but it is hard to travel and I don’t know if they will let me bring my cat with me
My autistic sister is 19
I would LOVE to be his student ♥️
I am cooked man.
God bless these people
there children in adults bodies i know someone
he in his 40s and he got the mental age of 16 year old still lives with mummy
always make sure he get home so he can have dinner with her
Im might be autistic as well, I'm 19 already but my mental age is literally like below 13..I didn't choose this shit.

0:37 look at this figure. xD, I bet he can fly.
Not good. Without other able snc willing family or close, trusted and able friends, it looks bleak. Few can truly function on their own, and many need constant, if not substantial support. None of that bodes well when resources are inadequate. Especially no caring friends or family.
Go ER!
They get gated at
[0:36] Master Yoda??
Greetings
i'm also autistic, but i'm much more normal.
0:01 rude man so0:01 0:01 0:01
Of course you are
Self diagnosed
Sure bud
What defines normal
I’m not like this ether but I am a level 1 Autistic person. Sure I don’t like when people self diagnosed but that is usually when the journey started. Then you go and get tested.

ITS IN OHIO??
Yeah, what about it?
We become children in adults' bodies 😢
It’s the reality of autism. Shame we just can’t be understood by others.
My supervisor has Autism, pretty cool guy
Bruh
that doctor is cute! ;)
kahea2018 ...
kahea2018 shut up man!!!! Your not the only one who thinks that!!!!
Stop the cap
It sucks.
These people might already be cured by now
It's literally incurable even with treatment. Your symptoms only get better, but usually, it never goes away.
I was actually BULLIED for seeking services as a self-diagnosed adult in Sacramento.
Did you get officially diagnosed yet?
Gulp gulp ❤❤😍😍 Vrooom brooom Gaga Gaga balllllll 🪮🪮🗜️🗜️👵👵🩷🩷😘😘🪸🚇
“Rainbow fun”
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.
I have the same fear. Mg son doesn’t talk and acts like a 2 year old. No one even wants to babysit him so I’m scared of what would happen when I die. I have a second son (normal) and I feel compelled to have a third child just so my second son is not overwhelmed. But who knows if he/she would be autistic as well.
Kids with autism
Im not on the spectrum but my TV is
i'm a Cox man myself
Like anyone else.
Kides with autism

You're a moderate?

Lil bro are you one of them?💀

That meme is dead 💀
I don’t get it
They become adults😂
Maybe you should try it too
@@unspoken-vibes-x i am thank you
Back in my day, we didn't have autistic kids because a belt would prevent this illness
Autism isn't an illness bud, and applying physical punishment to ASD individuals is like yelling at someone suffering from a migraine.
Uhh they did exist back then, I'm guessing you probably have dementia or a brain-eating parasite.
😂 What?!
What makes you think of Autism like that?? Not how it works, lad.
Back in your day, autistic kids existed but got traumatized by this kind of stuff, and pretended to be “normal” in order to not get abused. And instead of being called autistic, they were called all sorts of other negative terms like “brat” and “weird”
I am autistic but I hid it and I almost finished university
You should not hide who you are
@@tripghost-tw5nmhe should if he wants to
He is cute!
10 years later i think of how he is and where is he at it a scary feeling but my hopes are down
