ASMR Therapist | Autism Assessment (realistic)

- Hello and welcome to you Autism Assessment with therapist Veda. In the soft-spoken, realistic roleplay I'll be doing several tests and asking you questions to determine if you are on the Autism spectrum. I did quite a bit of research to try to make this video as accurate as possible while maintaining the ASMR aspect. I hope you enjoy!
Sorry about the camera focus at around 8:30. It gets better by 11:30, so only a few blurry minutes.

10:29 "what do you do when your afraid?" freeze, knaw and scratch at my cage "great, those are some good coping strategies"
I pass out from stress. "that's good, keep that coping mechanism"
@@Luna_LU6546 I do the same thing😭
My family will be happy to hear my loud, angry, nonviolent outbursts are a good strategy
No cuz I literally was like “I freeze, I shut down, I tap my foot and wrap my arms around myself. I stop talking” “great coping strategies!”
I curl up and cry about it while trying to not show im afraid
As someone who got officially diagnosed not too long ago, I can confirm that many of these tasks are included in/very similar to the actual assessment! Thank you for such a wonderful video, it was very relaxing
same here!
Vouched
I'm really curious if you don't mind me asking: how do certain answers to these tests correspond to an autism diagnosis? Would you be willing to give an example? I'm just so curious how it works!
@@moriahw3947 honestly, I don’t entirely know. I know bits and pieces from my own experience, but I don’t feel confident enough in my knowledge to explain it to others. Sorry about that!
@@moriahw3947they usually do for children, otherwise I don't see these being used much
Would love if there was a part 2 where it was an autism assessment but the doctor is like "erm, you actually looked at me in the eyes once so get out of my office you're wasting my time"
Agh, too real 💔
Autism can actually be both extremes. Avoidance of eye contact and also excessive eye contact.
"you're not a white 6 year old boy who likes trains? not autistic. next"
"Well even though you meet all the criteria for a diagnosis, you manage life too well to count."
that would be the most realistic thing tbh
Let me stop you right there chief, I already know the results of my autism test. It's positive. I aced it. Flying colors. I was the top of my class at AU.
Lmao AU...
They have SO MANY CLUBS
They immediately awarded you an honorary doctoral degree! 🎓👨🎓
I got 100%
a perfect score.
@@bigol9223i Got 101% by sheldoning this bitch by making more questions😎
ha! me too
Just want to say thank you. So many creators whisper instead of being soft spoken, and even more do ear cleanings that only sound like painfully loud static. This was simply a beautiful masterpiece of relaxation.
I agree, especially with the ear cleanings.
I swear it sounds more like a darn hurricane than an “ear cleaning”
if you like this, i think you'll like asmr eliza!! her videos are among my favorite, they knock me out every time and are very relaxing. frivolousfox (aka frivvie) also has wonderful soft spoken stuff, but asmr eliza reminds me most of veda!
what's wrong with whisper😅
Having ADHD and a lot of symptoms of autism, I wouldn't be surprised if I got tested and wound up having the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell of neurodivergence.
😂I think AuDHD (as I’ve heard it referenced) is pretty common.
I have ADHD and my therapist suggested that I might have autism as well. I still have to get tested but it's expensive and the waiting list to for an appointment is so long I don't think I'll bother as I have my ADHD under controll lol I too think AuDHD is pretty common or a lot of symptoms of ADHD overlap with symptoms of autism
@@CarinaKii was diagnosed adhd as a child and I've had the traits of autism since i can remember. I can't wait to have an assessment and i hope if you choose it that it happens for you soon as well 🩷
ADHD and autism are the same thing, it's just not classified as such yet in America, but it is in some other countries. Welcome to the club lmfao
@@2wickie686 I’m not from America and I’ve never heard about that. That’s interesting.
When the doctor diagnoses you as being aesthetic 💪😎(she said autistic)
😂
no she said acustic
@@restardedddamn u funny af 😐
I also am ozempic
@@restardedd stop with the acustic thing, is not funny is disrespectful
Nobody:
*Veda taking over our body to do the tasks*
I am looking forward to my medically accurate diagnosis!
It’s been 8 days as of now, any updates?
@@BOT_MaximusThey weren’t saying they were getting diagnosed, just making a joke about the video lol.
@@honeytteokidead internet theory
"do you have a job?"
"no"
"where do you work?"
"i don't have a job"
"do you like where you work?"
"i do not have a job"
LMAO
"Do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?"😘
"No." 😔

Hello Veda, thank you for this video. I am autistic and think you did a good job researching. Of course, in real life the assesment is a lot longer but some of the questions were exactly on point. This video might be a good way for autistic people to 'prepare' them for a actual assignment. Or just to calm down right before. Either way, thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! ❤️
That's cool to know! My first appointment for my autism assessment is in less than two weeks and I love these kinds of tests so it sounds like I'll be just fine 😂
Thats how im using this video actually! I really hate when i dont have a good script of what i need to say so :3
Good to know. I actually was using this video to help get rid of my anxiety about my upcoming assessment.
I remember my diagnosis. I was six, and at the end, a doctor sat me down with my parents and said "-name-, all kids are special, but some are extra special."
Not the "extra special" 💀
Special premium 😂
Yeah.. They charge more for those.
Your natural hair looks gorgeous! You rock them curls!
Awww thank you!! 🥰
This certainly brightened my day. I was diagnosed with Aspergers at eight
@@JungleWolf-sy6ei Both adhd and that for me
I like how you softly talked! I am diagnosed autistic by a pediatrician using a different assessment method (multiple talk visits over the course of 1 year) and the fact that you did these assessment methods differently than I wanted to was very frustrating 😭 but I do appreciate you showing these questions and tests! It's weird watching someone do it. I liked this idea for a video haha.
The fact that I'm diagnosed autistic and couldn't answer the questions about explaining feelings. Then I realized it was the alexithymia lol. And that's probably exactly why they ask those questions.
I was literally like 'sad is how I describe feeling sad, how tf am I supposed to elaborate on this?'. Late diagnosed adhd but I'm beginning to suspect autism too
☠️☠️☠️
“What does it actually feel like when you’re happy?”
“idk lol”
“That’s a great answer. :)”
i love the extra sounds you made with all the props you used, basically everything that's not talking. touching the paper etc.

And I know im 6mo late, but I am SPEAKING TO THE FUTURE
I remember taking something like this in school, the lady who gave it to me was so nice too. My teachers would get frustrated because I was good at learning but I didn’t want to learn what they were teaching. Like I went off on my own. But my mom and one of my teachers saw what was really happening. 😊
Me, already diagnosed: aw yeah can't wait to find out if I have autism or not 😎
You don’t have autism
@@ShrimpyWilliamsdidnt know you were their doctor with access to their personal records
@@MidnightEkakiThat means I don't have to worry about lawyers and cater to the big pharma
@CheeseIfYouPlease Medication for unnecessary diagnoses in general, including a lot of neurodivergent disorders
@@ShrimpyWilliamswhy do so many men think they understand the mind with 0 research LOL. It's observable in the brain. You know adhd takes caffeine completely differently? Puts you to sleep. Shit is real, must be mind blowing for you.
Firstly, that cartoon with the fish was brutal! I was not expecting that ending.... The teeth flossing/brushing might've been my fav - really got my asmr response triggered throughout. Nice use of the different camera angle!🙂
Thanks Ben! I was so happy with how the different perspectives played out. I’ll definitely have to do that in another video. Maybe more assessment videos, or a teacher/student one.
Seriously. All throughout, I just wanted to complement how stunning her hair is.
When she later said “what makes you sad” I had to be like “that damn fish comic you showed me earlier” 😅
That first card. I was thinking a boat under the Sun
Me too
same omg
Me too!!!
Same, I wonder if that means anything
I was thinking of 3 things lol. The flower, the boat and a windmill
I remember my autism diagnosis, it was 3 hours and half of that was an IQ test that I had like 3 mental breakdowns taking because I couldn't and still can't do math and most the questions involved math. 😭
I'm in this comment and feel attacked.
I don't got autism so idk why I'm watching this video but I got dyscalculia so I can vouch this
I have severe dsycalculia, I would failed that test
@@evanyes5762 I'm gonna pull a jerk move.
8+9-5=
I always knew something was missing from my life...
...and such thing was explaining to someone how to brush their teeth. That was so tingly
😂 maybe I need to do a video on modeling simple tasks like this.
This was EXACTLY the same task I did on the real assessment :0 “explain how to brush your teeth to an alien / small child”
When I was getting my diagnosis, so many of the questions just felt so random to me and I had no idea what answers were “good” like I would with any other diagnosis test. I was genuinely stressed and over thinking cuz I didn’t know what answer to give where I could sound ‘normal’. And I was diagnosed with autism a month later. And yet my dad had the audacity to say I lied on the tests to “get the result I wanted” which for him was getting an autism diagnosis
I'm sorry he did that. That sounds rough and I hope he comes around. Just remember that you know the truth about the answers you gave and how you were feeling and that people who are experts in the field recognised your neurotype. Not to suggest self dx isn't valid but an official one is harder for doubters to argue with. How do you feel about your dx?
@@Jemini4228 I was extremely glad and such a big wave of relief washed over me and I was crying when she said I was in fact autistic. Got diagnosed at 17 and I was waiting 17 long years to know what was “wrong with me”
@@connyaaaa5555 I hope you know that there is nothing wrong with you. You are not a broken neurotypical. You're simply a whole autistic and running a different operating system as I like to think of it. Congratulations on having that officially recognised. Sending best wishes :)
@@Jemini4228 thank you very much, I’ve come to terms with with how I function differently then others and I’m starting to stop masking
You certainly understand autism better than most school boards! I should know.
i would say for me this is not realistic because you’re way nicer and less condescending than my assessor was 😭 i just remember her asking questions like ‘do you have friends’ and speaking to me like a child even tho i was in my 20s but i did get diagnosed 🔥💪
and you don't think this miss in the video is talking to you like a child?
@a47394 the assessment is for a child, when she was arranging the pieces she was impersonating her patient taking the assessment who was a child
@@aceofpurity okay good for you but that person complains about their assessor talking to them like they're a child and they're praising the asmrtist for not doing so even though like you said it's for children
@@a47394i don't think she's really talking to us like we're a child, just speaking clearly and professionally?
@@a47394it’s a TH-cam video for hundreds of people vs being in person. That’s why it’s different.
Whatever the answer, I'm sure our compassionate and competent Veda has my best interests at heart!
Me:
A sailboat with a sun
Her: that’s right, a flower!!
🥲🥲🥲
I saw a sailboat at first too and I didn't understand
Feels like she's not listening to my answers at all...
Hey, this IS realistic!
samee
AuDHD here. Diagnosed and everything. I forgot what my test was like. This is quite fun to do again.
when the doctor diagnoses me with australia 💅💅
you're all upside down
I actually took one of these a couple weeks ago and the only unrealistic part is that the real tests take like 10 hours JAJAJAJAJAJAJ
6:59 I feel like being extremely angry about her asking questions when I dont have a job is a sign of autism
😅 I remember getting told that back when I first got diagnosed that the person running the assessment held up a comic of a lady with an umbrella in front of a building. They then asked me to write what I thought was going on in the picture. I'm sure they expected standard responses like it's a lady with an umbrella so it's going to rain. I know they definitely didn't expect my long story about how the woman was a weatherman sent out to report on a storm sweeping through the area. (My special interest at the time was storytelling) 😂
i was hoping it would be like "can you name every pokemon for me?" or "how many original sonic characters have you created on you deviant art"
I’m a qualified ADOS-2 practitioner 🥰 didn’t mind combining work and personal life this once
"How about feeling relaxed and content. What kinds of things make you feel that way?"
"I don't know... Alcohol I guess?"
"That sounds really nice."
😅
Cannabis. 🍃
As a recovered alcoholic I can relate! 👀
I recently got diagnosed with autism. The test took me like 5 hours to finish but this is very realistic :)
"This is not like a test in school where you can be right or wrong in any of your answers"
_internal screaming_
i love your voice!! you have a very calming aura
I got diagnosed with autism at 11 (im 15 now) and from what i can remember this is accurate from some of what they did with me over the years
I got stuck on the fish story because if the fish was out of the water that long and he was ready to chop it up, then it was dead already and taking it back didn't make sense to me.
Maybe the bucket they put it in had water in it??
@@amoureux6502 That helps me so much! :)
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT PROCESS AND I WAS REALLY MAD ABOUT IT
Those glasses look adorable on you! Another great video!
Thank you for this🥰 I'm on a waiting list for ASD assessment & this helps with making me feel a bit less anxious than I would be going in & having no clue what to expect.
Also, you have beautiful hair & eyebrows😍🤌🩷
Watching this while I wait to get scheduled for my real life assessment
1:15 a boat with the sun shining above it
My doctor: “you have autism.”
Me: “no I’m Batman.”
Wait did they actually use the block puzzle for autism assessments cause I remember playing with those at therapy as a child
i found this at 2 am and genuinely thought i was dying for three seconds
Maybe one day you could do a "Callahan Thought Field Therapy Technique" for anxiety and other mental problems Video. *Tapping on yourself video.* Widely successful for panic attacks, anxiety and so much more. You don't have to be a Dr. to talk about it or demonstrate it to us on how to do it. NOBODY has done it for an ASMR video. 'TFT ASMR!' Oh Wow!!! It could help SO many in this community who've never heard of it before. Now THAT'S ASMR!
I love watching your videos while I do work that requires a ton of concentration
I always came to this video to relax during my diagnosis process. :) It is pretty accurate and it made the whole thing feel less harrowing for me❤ Thank you!
thank u sm veda for another upload🥰 my thoughts have been racing and i couldnt even calm them with music untill i started watching this vid❤ i rlly appreciate it
I’m so sorry you’re struggling! I understand, and I’m so glad my video could do a little to help. 🥰
Another video from my favorite ASMRtist. Can’t wait to watch it. Thank you for all the creative content 🩵
Thank you so so much! 😭
The fact that my first response to most of the requests/questions was either "Why?" or "I'd rather not" I think really solidifies how autistic I am :,)
Not how Autistic you are but it may solidify the fact that you're Autistic. Autism cannot be measured in terms of how Autistic one is but how much it impacts an Autistic person's life. 🙂
@@rahbeeuh I was mainly joking lol
@@k.c.maiale7504 lol oh no you've spotted my Autism 😁 jokes go right over my head
Hello, I'm deaf but your ASMR is just incredible, keep it up you'll get there!
Your voice is very relaxing its like a massage for my spirit
Lmao inaccurate there wasnt a random book about frogs
*Jokes aside this is actually very relaxing. I found my actual assessment relaxing too for the most part, thankfully got a good psychiatrist
wait the flying frogs on lilypads?
“All these little pieces”… omg ily haha
The end of the video tricked me haha, i was so confused when an Ad started playing but the video didn't go on after it 😂
Agghhh! Sorry for the post roll ad. I hate those!
0:17 "This isn't like a test at school, there is no right or wrong awnser"
1:20 "yep that's right. It's suppost to look like a flower"
2:44 aw man i love those blocks
we used them in elementary school and one time they even gave us some at some event thing idk what it was but now my family has some of them that they gave us
i used to make a thing out of them and make another thing out of them and then breed the two things together to make a new thing
I’m actually being accessed for autism at school and it is very similar to this. I had to arrange blocks to look like the pictures, and I was also asked to spell words and do simple math problems (some of them weren’t easy and I didn’t understand them).
That sounds like an iq test which is often done as part of the diagnosis to rule out other issues/classify your level of tism etc
I had an autism assessment more recently, this felt like going through it all over again
Therapist: what is this picture?
Me: a boat with sails and the sun
Therapist: right a flower
Me: well I’m off to a good start…
As an autistic person, I really enjoyed this
Thank you so much!
@VedaASMR no problem and thank you so much ma'am
I'm autistic myself and while I'm unsure of how I feel about roleplaying given our struggles, this was some grade-A ASMR so I'll still thank you. 😂❤
“There’s nothing to study for” jokes on you I’m abt to ace this exam 😘👉
Okay, when she started asking about sadness, I cried irl 🤦 Why am I like this?! 🤦🤦
Can somebody please explain the teeth brushing? What is an autistic way of brushing teeth? I have a diagnostic appointment in a couple of weeks and this question legit scares the shit out of me (which I know is not that okay, dont worry I'm getting help for that type of fear)
It actually has nothing to do with brushing your teeth. I think it’s more about showing how you communicate and explain a simple task. 😊 Try not to worry about your diagnostic! It’s not anything you have to prepare for and you can’t do anything “wrong.”
@@VedaASMR Yeah thanks I know, but tests have always been a huge source of anxiety for me, so my brain sees any doctors appointment as another test I need to ace
This was really creative and super relaxing 😌
Thank you! 🥰
as an autist myself this is so accurately done! great job🤩
everytime she asked what's happening in the comic, i was like "___" and then "or ___"
I didnt even study and i got a 100% on the autism assessment 😎
That first comic had such a sad ending!
i done my real ASD assessment today 😭😭
finally a test i wont fail!!!
I really like this. I'm awaiting an assessment so answered along with the video as practice 😅
When the blue peice was missing it literally gave me anxiety
As a person who has been in therapy since preschool and has adhd and autism and has took multiple IQ test I can confirm there was some research and effort done 😊
Quality asmr great job Veda
This feels like point-and-click game!! (Which is so cool!!)
Crying. Understanding the father and son's emotions based on their facial expressions. It's so basic, but in real time it's so complicated and difficult, and there's no bumpers. I just get blindsided and disoriented, so I give up.
this was so good. In my assessment the "what is friendship" question really tripped me up!
Her: what is this picture supposed to look like
Me:boat
Her:that’s right a flower
Me: 🥲
Watching this to prepare for my autism eval and stop feeling nervous
This is a very nice video, thanks Veda!
Also, I like your glasses
“what is this supposed to look like?”
“sailboat!”
“thats right, a flower”
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. Teach a man to throw the fish back in the water....everyone goes hungry.
9:15 "What do you like doing that makes you feel happy?" Why, watching ASMR videos of course. That's an easy question. 😄
Not my silly ADHD brain seeing a sailboat and a sun as two separate objects before she said it was a flower...
That's not silly. It shows creativity. :)
@@Jemini4228both. Both is good
idk if im autistic or not but here are some of my thoughts during this video:
"if you know ill need more pieces why didnt you just give me the extra piece in the first place"
"if this is a story why is it starting in the middle? howd they get to the lake?"
"did the kid not know why you were fishing?"
"how did they get the peoples address? does everyone know everyone?"
"you floss before you brush your teeth? have i been doing it wrong my whole life? honestly that makes more sense anyways"
great video as always !! And your voice is so sweet and relaxing thank you Veda😀🥰
Hello fellow autistics, I’d like to formally call this meeting to order
*takes minutes*
can we order papa johns
Nah I literally just got my appointment to get diagnosed and this popped up 😭 Guess I got to prepare
i just searched "having fun and playing and having fun ASMR" so yeah i need this
Oh juzt feeling like the glow of my ~genius~ every time I get the comic picture right..
the way i had almost these exact same tests done in elementary school and they told me i was being tested for the gifted program…
So, were you "gifted" or not?
SAME OH NO
on the first task, she said it was a flower but i thought it was a sailboat with a run 😭 pls tell me i’m not the only one
Reminds me when I got taken out of school for an ADHD test
