That woman is actually neurodivergent…. She was saying that capitalism and corporate world are morally corrupt and need to learn from us neurodivergent people. And the blonde woman is speaking to the people on the app who are alway saying “I don’t understand why Nt’s don’t understand why I don’t understand this”. It’s about context. Tiktok is a lot of ND’s saying that NT’s don’t accommodate us when we don’t know how to do things their way. These are ND’s that have made these Tiktoks. This is what they are talking about when they say we don’t always understand the tone of some things. 🤷🏻♀️
I haven't watched all her video because it made me so frustrated. I know how to be passive aggressive and manipulate people and us subtext... but it's all in my own neurodivergent way. I can't tell when others (namely NT) are being passive aggressive or manipulate. The same way I can be very sarcastic, but my friend being sarcastic goes right over my head.
Yeah I completely agree, that tiktok weirded me out, I'm autistic myself and I am sometimes capable of communicating through subtext/sarcasm. I'm not good at understanding when other people use subtext/sarcasm, but I can use it myself if that makes sense. Autism is a spectrum. Even though that person in the tiktok was neurodivergent (idk if they have autism or another neurodivergency - sidenote: why are we (this vid) comparing neurodivergent vs neurotypical people? Neurodivergent could mean anyone from a dyslexic person to an autistic person to someone with OCD, BPD, dysphraxia - there aren't any 'neurodivergent traits' bc it's such a blanket term that could mean so many different things) - even if they're neurodivergent, it doesn't mean they're free from criticism of their description of autism which was really universal and didn't acknowledge the variety of traits, experiences, and skills that autistics can have. Tbh I'm not a fan of this compilation as well, I mean I genuinely love this channel and most if not all the videos so far have been really cool and interesting with good information, but this was off to me. The way that some of these tiktoks kinda villainise neurotypicals or make it seem like they all think the same, like that tiktok about how neurotypicals vs neurodivergents see the human body - not every neurotypical sees it as inherently sexual, but they made it out like neurotypicals did and were therefore shallow and mean. Like bruh, ever heard of asexual neurotypicals? Or educated neurotypicals? Or neurotypicals who grew up in a culture that doesn't sexualise it? The tone of this video felt fine to me, everyone in it seemed kinda happy, it's not the tone I'm worried about, heck I'm terrible at reading tone, but it was the *content* of like "neurodivergent people all think like this" (despite neurodivergency being a massive umbrella term for loads of vastly different things) vs "neurotypical people all think like this" (despite neurotypicals not all being the same and not all being the ableist, overtly sexual people that we've had bad experiences with). /srs Damn I love a good rant, apologies for the essay though /lh

I really hate that people are often so quick to brush things off as just excuses or whining… like that one time my class when hiking for a school trip and I complained about my backpack being too heavy and rubbing my back too much, and being tired from walking for quite a while without breaks on a pretty hot day. They found my “whining” very annoying. That night I had a horrible headache from the sun and exhaustion and after the trip a good portion of my lower back was scraped up and covered in scabs from the backpack. For context I was in 8th grade and had little to no experience with hiking. I usually spent all day playing video games and there was no preparation before the trip for us to be able to carry all our supplies for the next couple days going uphill through a forest for literally no reason. Still really mad about that.
I’m neurotypical and I literally went to get water to test. I can’t tell. I think it might have a taste? It might just be it being colder than my body and that being misinterpreted as a taste. Or the texture being a completely smooth liquid. Like how carbonated drinks ‘taste’ fizzy even though that’s just the bubbles of carbon dioxide. Maybe it doesn’t have a taste. I don’t even know any more.
When i go camping for a week, when i come back my water has a bit of an eggy smell, but after a few days it seems to go away but the water at any of my friends houses in town definitely smells and tastes like bleach.
Go to a different city and you might find the water tastes different. At least my brain ignores the taste in few days but at first it's very much there.
So I’m neurotypical and did the raads-r test i got 142. I do have issues with it, there were ways that I wanted to answer the question but looking at the 4 multiple choice boxes they didn’t just easily fit into one. For example I like to spend time eating and talking with my friends and family the closest response that i could give to what i was thinking was only now but in reality it’s a sometimes situation (under 16 i really didn’t have a choice so). Also some of the questions were reliant on other people telling me things but the people around me never comment on what i say or do unless it’s offensive and i need to told no. Idk. The wording of some questions were also confusing- like what do you mean, in what context, this needs to be elaborated on- that’s what i was thinking. So for me my own result i think is somewhat inaccurate.
@@OneSpicyDisaster Oh my god, same! For so many questions, I was like, "well in what context? And what if it's only sometimes?" I also realized I don't really remember my feelings and experiences from childhood, which troubled me a little.
@@nerdgeekcosplay909 idk it’s all i’ve known i can’t really say much about it. Well- actually… i just say I’m neurotypical beacuse I can’t afford to get a diagnosis for adhd or anything else I’m struggling with. Don’t worry I didn’t use tiktoks to come to this conclusion, I’ve been researching this for almost 3 years.
@@OneSpicyDisaster EXACTLY YES!! Like for the question "I'd rather go out to eat in a restaurant by myself than with someone I know." I just don't want to go out to eat period, I'll look awkward if I'm by myself, and I eat fast, so people might judge me. I'd rather just stay home and eat, but that's not an answer, so what do I put???? I'm not asking you that, it's just. Me. Yelling. At. The. Test.
Omg I soooo relate to they/them at around 5:08 where the other person keeps saying you aren't doing it the right way. I have had people tell me that since I was a child any time I had to find my own way of doing something that worked for me
Then again, it's quite normal for a neurodivergent person to be inflexible and only see one way to do something, and get frustrated if it's done what they deem "incorrectly", so that bit might have been two neurodivergents talking :D
I uh got a 170 on the RAADS-R test , I'm not diagnosed with anything Just gonna blame it on the fact I'm not 16 + Also a lot the options they provide you are like . . . WHERE'S THE SOMEWHAT / NOT REALLY TRUE BUTTON ?????
bruh how. i scored a 221 out of 227 possible markers on the RASSD-R and still somehow i wasn’t diagnosed as autistic until i was 15 😭 what wasn’t clicking?
Haha i've already suspected i had adhd for ages but i can't talk to my parents about it so your videos are really helpful :D i did the RAADS-R Test and even gave a lot of my answers the benefit of the doubt, i thought i'd answered in such a way that i'd get a low score. i scored 163 - dunno if/how/when i let my parents know😅 Thanks for uploading! :)))
the RAADS-R test though. i got a 184 (never been diagnosed but i already know i am autistic). i just wish there were more options in those tests cuz a lot of the times i need more context, like the do i like to be hugged held question. yes but only by like 3 of the closest people who i love to death, never by anyone else like i don't like it when people touch me. and for some other questions too, like i would have liked if there were some extra choices like sometimes or don't really understand wtf are you asking
@@OneSpicyDisaster checked it out and remembered i did take it when you posted that originally, thanks. i take all the quizzes i can find cuz it feels validating lol
I'm AuDHD, and that's approximately what people mean when people say neurodivergent, so a lot of these apply to me and I appreciate them. But I want to take this time to clarify that ADHD and autism do not encompass the extreme breadth of neurodivergence. Other ways to have a neurodivergent brain: -dyslexia -sociopathy -Borderline Personality Disorder -narcissism -PTSD -cPTSD -various learning disabilities and differences -schizophrenia -Dissociative Identity Disorder ... And many more These videos are also often western- or even America-normative, meaning that social norms in other countries and languages will drastically change the expectations of neurotypical behavior. I want to spread awareness so that people who might need to use the labels "neurodivergent" and "neurotypical" to explain their experience will be able to see themselves represented here, and will be able to discuss their experience without being discredited or othered by people who didn't know.
Thank you for saying this, i have NVLD and tourettes and when i feel like i dont fit in with everyone else i often cant find peace with the fact im just nurodivergent because i dont have adhd or autism
I took the RAADS-R test and got 178, that was just me answering based off of masking, imagine the score while unmasked :') No wonder my family jokes about me being autistic lol.
i took the RAADS-R test and got 141... but i'm only 15 and it's intended for 16+ so yeah i should just ignore it 😅i'm neurotypical. also i probably lied a bunch idk.
Most of the questions probably are the same ones that would be asked for people under 16. It’s not a bad thing to be autistic. With that high of a score it’s likely you are autistic but it’s possible that your not. I also took the test and felt like i lied because I wanted to say kinda instead of now and when I was younger.(and I’ve been diagnosed with autism already) Maybe try taking a different test. Also maybe talk to a professional if you think getting diagnosed would be helpful to you.
@@ConfusedBean777 I also felt like i was lying because I felt like I didn’t mean “now and when i was younger” completely, but it also felt wrong to say never. It’s pretty silly of me tbh since I am diagnosed as well haha
did you get tested for ASD as well? When I went to the doctor for an ADHD diagnosis, I came out with an autism diagnosis as well. But yes, ADHD could be the reason you score that high, though it could be beneficial getting assessed for ASD just in case (not that ASD is bad but it’s nice to have the diagnosis lol, and it can be quite beneficial having it) btw sorry if this is irrelevant ^^
So the one about constructive criticism is in my experience the opposite. I've had NT people tell me only what's wrong with what I'm doing and no positives. I found ND people are honestly better with not upsetting people or at least not trying to with negatives only
I got 224 on that RAADS-R test. I’ve been self-diagnosing as autistic (and adhd) for the past few weeks and this helped me feel less like I’m faking. But also that I need to get tested so my parents will actually believe me. My parents aren’t ableist but they also give some minor red flags 🚩 when talking about people with mental disabilities. Maybe I’m just reading into it wrong,
I was diagnosoi with ADHD when i was seven, my mom who all so has ADHD asked if i could get occupational therapy. They said no because apparently i wouldn’t benefit from that, so they just gave some meds that didn’t work and made me go trhough a lot of side effects. Some years later i asked if i could go to occupational therapy because i thought it could help me, well they said that i was too old for it/ they didn’t usually give that treatment for kids my age/ made me feel guilt for even asking for it, i was 10 and that i/ my mom should have asked for that treatment when i was diagnosed. When i was 14 my friend told me that they still go to occupational therapy.
Some times you have to be ready to argue with these people. Advocating for yourself really ought to be just a matter of asking for help but thats just not how it always works. A lot of them might deal with other patience that are in really bad shape and very obvious what their issues are and if your issues don't present the same or as obviously the you would have to be ready to explain all the layers to what you're going through. Its best to use lots of stories and examples otherwise it won't click in their brains, they won't understand very well, for one your issues are your norm but not normal to them. The more ways you can explain your difficulties the easier it will be for them to understand. Also there are a percentage of them who are idiots and some of them don't really care enough and should be in a different field, so to get the help you need sometimes you have to be willing to get a little verbally aggressive, like be willing to be persistent and a little obstinate about your points untill it clicks that you're saying isn't just enough for them to understand your struggle is real and you're not just a neurotypical being whiney. I was lucky in grade school, a lot of people in my school systems were major ableists but my mom was ready to go into full karen mode with the crappy ones, some of my special ed classmates didn't have that.
I just took RAADS-R test... I expected to be over 65. But didn't expect to be at 209. I think about getting official diagnosis, but in my country... well best case scenario means that I'll get sticker for my car meaning that I can use disabled parking spot... worst case scenario is "you cannot be autistic, you're female adult, not little boy"
Took that RAADS-R test, got a 168. Oh wow. I already know I'm ADHD and have Misophonia, I hope I can look into an in-person thing to help diangose me correctly if this is correct. whew.
In school we were using clay and I wassent making it the way we had been shown but still getting it to look how it was supposed to the teacher ended up taking over my work and re making it I wassent happy about it but couldn't really say anything
so i tried to take the RAADS-R test, but i had never heard of it before so i googled "radzar test" and then the result showed RAADS-R and i was like "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's the thing" XDDDDDDD
Currently doing the RAADS-R test for a second time. I feel like the damn test is trying to trick me that everyone doesn't do these things. Update: I scored 181 now. Below 64 is neurotypical, right? ...fuck.
Dude when the RAADS-R TikTok popped up, I was like “why not take the test myself? I’m sure I’ll get a reasonable score” I GOT 143. Looks like it’s time for a bunch of questioning and research, boys
3:32 GUYS I OAUSED TO GO TAKE IT ANY TIME I WASN’T SURE I LEANED TOWARDS THE ANSWERS THAT WERE MORE NEUROTYPICAL JUST TO AVOID BIAS I GOT 127 GUYS GUYS I THINK I SHOULD GET TESTED-
I took the RAADS-R test for shits and giggles since I already got a screening for autism. I scored 89 which makes a lot of sense because I am not autistic I have NVLD which has a lot of autistic traits but also Im not 16+ and the question format kinda sucks ass so I kinda lied on a few
i have a question for fellow ND people. Do you guys forget certain socializing acts over time if you don't do it often enough? i think with the pandemic maybe other people are experiencing it too and i want to know. like the more i stay away from socializing the more i forget how to behave like a human like i am trying to behave like a character that i can't remember that well. a little background story so maybe my question makes more sense. i have been living almost alone since like july 2018 (had to change cities with my emotionally abusive and controlling parents) and since then i have been basically in a social quarantine (with only internet by my side). like i have not been able to make any friends here, for a year and a half i was almost at the house unless i had to do grocery or go meet my sister who lives here with her family and i also didn't actively try to meet new people as i have never tried to do that in my entire life. for context, the last actual friends i made was like in 2011 (through no work of my own... it just happened) and although did find good people who i liked interacting with later on too it never developed into actual friendship that lasts nor i was looking for one. in 2019 and 2021 i have gone for some classes for a few months each year but even there i can't really socialize in the way that doesn't feel fake or overly masked to me, like very formal and not the way i used to be at all. i have had troubles with socializing since forever but i was quite good at mirroring and so i coped quite well imo. since coming here though, especially as the years go by, i am having more and more trouble being a part of anything social and as if i am forgetting all that i had learnt in all the years about social cues and interactions. has anyone lese felt like this?
Yes. I was in a car accident almost 3 years ago. I got a brain injury and ptsd from it and it isn’t getting better so I’ve been basically laying in my dark room since then. The only human interaction is with my bf and kids. I only talk to people online. And i feel like people are tired of hearing about all my medical, mental and ND issues. My bf doesn’t understand anything about mental illness and my kids are special needs so they are as social as i am lol. So all that rambling to say i understand.💙💙
@@OneSpicyDisaster 💙💙 thank you for sharing. i am going through chronic physical and mental pain since a long time and it did feel like people got tired really easily whenever talked about it so i no longer tell anyone. although, in the case of my parents and sister, i am not sure if they don't understand or don't want to because then they would have to help me...
@@Blue-iv5fv "mental and physical pain" sounds like depression symptoms. When people talk with one another, because of empathy, we're capable of feeling each other's pain, there's a term for this called emotional contagion. Anywho... just because they get bit tired or a bit drained doesn't mean they don't care. Its really important that your friends and family know whatever you're going through, if they don't know they cannot respond effectively it will still affect them because you're still feeling what you're feeling. There's a responsibility for them to help you just like there's a responsibility for you to help, like the saying "no man is an island" what your loved ones are going through affects you and vice versa. And if you deny them the ability to respond effectively because you're trying to spare their feelings that would be B.S. on your part.
@@OneSpicyDisaster I hear what you are saying. Sometimes it does feel like people are tired of you/your problems. However, if you ever feel like people are tired of hearing about your issues, you might be right, but also, you could be misreading the situation. Whenever an issue comes up that I want to talk about with my boyfriend, I usually assume he won’t want to help me with it and would just prefer to break up. However, nothing he does points to that conclusion, and it’s just my own insecurities talking! When I am completely honest, he wants to help me. Also, if you ever feel as if you are too much of a burden, you are not! You are just as valuable as any other person, because you are human, and flawed, and that’s amazing :)) That being said, me and many other of the people who love your videos are really feeling heard and understood (I do not have social media besides TH-cam and a few accounts on websites for writing) because you give us access to this stuff. I, and I’m sure many others in the comments, would happily listen to your problems, validate your feelings, and give advice (only if want it of course!) I love to help out people because I want people to be happy and feel good, and I also want to make friends. So yea! Have a nice day!
i don't think that these are all about neurodivergent people vs neurotypical people - e.g. the "body as a s*xual thing" one - i think that it could be more about asexual vs allosexual people? not all neurodivergent people only see certain organs as s*xual, and not all neurotypical people view whole bodies as s*xual. for example, i'm neurodivergent and i find necks (mentioned by the person in the video) attractive haha
I got a 106 on the RAADS-R Test and I still haven't fully unlearned masking yet, I haven't been diagnosed by a professional, but I'm pretty sure I'm autistic (not just because of this test, I've done SO much research on it) Edit: I retook it and got a 120 with more honest answers (I read some things wrong) and got a 120 so idrk man/s
Agreed. I also lie to be polite and see the value of it in society. I fail to see what's wrong with protecting other's feelings and avoiding unneccessary conflicts. Also, people asking for something in subtext can be a way to give the other one a chance to decline without feeling the need to explain themselves or feel guilty for saying no - though it can also be used as a mean to "test" the other person and their commitment to your relationship. That's nasty but more rare.
I think perhaps 193 is pretty high at least compared to what I was expecting. So now at least I know why I have a shit life. Anyone found any resources for asd people who are not pretty little children anymore. I just want someone to talk to about the relativistic synthesis of propulsive mass by way of continuous EM excitation of plasma in a linear particle accelerator. That or gy6 150 scooters.
7:36 ok just say you think you’re better than neurotypicals. Im nd and even i know that neurotypicals don’t just wanna think about the social hierarchy and themselves
I have a tic disorder right? I was watching a hatsune miku video and “miku dio” was repeated frequently and it’s now become a tic- as is her traditional “Hatsune miku!” thing- is this bad because I’m in school? Yes. Do I find it hilarious? Absolutely
0:55 I'm not diagnosed but I suspect it so I think I can do this. My baffling thing is the fact that that touching is considered like, the supreme *and only* kind of affection/comfort and if you don't want it, you're selfish and stupid and petty and you need to get over it. I don't know if this is actually a neurotypical thing or what, but like,,, Yeah.
As an autistic person I’ve always found it so weird that NTs would laugh at bad things happening to them. I saw this interviewer going around to university students in the US to ask if collage is worth it and how much it financially burdened you. And one of the girls said “I have $50 in my bank account right now hahahahaha”. Like why are you laughing?? That’s terrible
Neurotypicals email: Dear teacher I feel I have done very good, turned in all my assessments and don’t know why my grades have been suffering. My parents have been getting and and I think maybe I can make up late work, or other ways to get better grades. Also how have the kids been, and the wife. What about your trip to Rome? Thank you, bob Neurodivergents emails: Dear teacher I need extra credit Thank you, Bobby
Neurotypicals: It's okay to speak your mind, don't be afraid to express your feelings.
Also neurotypicals: How dare you not read my thoughts!

WATER HAS TASTE, and it tastes bad most of the time for me :/ (I can get sick easily from bactira in water aswell, normal filtration isn't enough for me. So it makes sence why water tastes bad ;w;)
Make you just habe bad water
ah i like hardwater from the bathroom sink and my whole family keeps telling me its gross but i like it
yeah whenever i actually drink water depending on where is comes from it can taste like
bottle: metallic, cold or warm
fridge: sink water
sink: sink water
idk how to explain it lol
I just took the RAADS-R test and got 211. I know I'm autistic, but geez, that's quite the score.
I got 186. I’ve never been professionally diagnosed……
@@OneSpicyDisaster I got 232 lmao.
I mean I’m diagnosed but whoa momma
Lol well they didn’t misdiagnose you 😅
I got 161 when I took it.
I got 206, this is gonna be a fun trip to the therapist-
The first one thooo
And I thought I was the only one who thought that water had a taste 💀
I really hate that people are often so quick to brush things off as just excuses or whining… like that one time my class when hiking for a school trip and I complained about my backpack being too heavy and rubbing my back too much, and being tired from walking for quite a while without breaks on a pretty hot day. They found my “whining” very annoying. That night I had a horrible headache from the sun and exhaustion and after the trip a good portion of my lower back was scraped up and covered in scabs from the backpack.

I usually spent all day playing video games and there was no preparation before the trip for us to be able to carry all our supplies for the next couple days going uphill through a forest for literally no reason. Still really mad about that.
Damn rlly just got so triggered at my old teachers XD I blame weird 4am havent-slept-all-night logic
i hate that about neurotypicals they can be so insensitive sometimes
i got 187 on the RAADS-R test, i should probably go see my doctor
I got 198 but I’m under 16 so it’s probably not accurate lol
the first one

11:24 well this explains why my friends don’t understand they joys of platonic cuddles
So I’m neurotypical and did the raads-r test i got 142. I do have issues with it, there were ways that I wanted to answer the question but looking at the 4 multiple choice boxes they didn’t just easily fit into one. For example I like to spend time eating and talking with my friends and family the closest response that i could give to what i was thinking was only now but in reality it’s a sometimes situation (under 16 i really didn’t have a choice so). Also some of the questions were reliant on other people telling me things but the people around me never comment on what i say or do unless it’s offensive and i need to told no. Idk. The wording of some questions were also confusing- like what do you mean, in what context, this needs to be elaborated on- that’s what i was thinking. So for me my own result i think is somewhat inaccurate.
That’s what i said. The answers that i want to answer are not there! Like sometimes…
How’s it like being Nurotypical ? I’m Nurodivergent I just wanna know
@@OneSpicyDisaster Oh my god, same! For so many questions, I was like, "well in what context? And what if it's only sometimes?" I also realized I don't really remember my feelings and experiences from childhood, which troubled me a little.
@@nerdgeekcosplay909 idk it’s all i’ve known i can’t really say much about it. Well- actually… i just say I’m neurotypical beacuse I can’t afford to get a diagnosis for adhd or anything else I’m struggling with. Don’t worry I didn’t use tiktoks to come to this conclusion, I’ve been researching this for almost 3 years.
@@OneSpicyDisaster EXACTLY YES!! Like for the question "I'd rather go out to eat in a restaurant by myself than with someone I know." I just don't want to go out to eat period, I'll look awkward if I'm by myself, and I eat fast, so people might judge me. I'd rather just stay home and eat, but that's not an answer, so what do I put???? I'm not asking you that, it's just. Me. Yelling. At. The. Test.
Omg I soooo relate to they/them at around 5:08 where the other person keeps saying you aren't doing it the right way. I have had people tell me that since I was a child any time I had to find my own way of doing something that worked for me
Then again, it's quite normal for a neurodivergent person to be inflexible and only see one way to do something, and get frustrated if it's done what they deem "incorrectly", so that bit might have been two neurodivergents talking :D
I uh got a 170 on the RAADS-R test , I'm not diagnosed with anything
Just gonna blame it on the fact I'm not 16 +
Also a lot the options they provide you are like . . . WHERE'S THE SOMEWHAT / NOT REALLY TRUE BUTTON ?????
OML SAME
One problem with me wearing headphones is I wear them so much I might have an ear infection
Chronic ear infections are apparently a 'thing' for autism I have had sooo many. I didn't know why until recently.
bruh how. i scored a 221 out of 227 possible markers on the RASSD-R and still somehow i wasn’t diagnosed as autistic until i was 15 😭 what wasn’t clicking?
Haha i've already suspected i had adhd for ages but i can't talk to my parents about it so your videos are really helpful :D i did the RAADS-R Test and even gave a lot of my answers the benefit of the doubt, i thought i'd answered in such a way that i'd get a low score.
i scored 163 - dunno if/how/when i let my parents know😅
Thanks for uploading! :)))
@KaiTheEmoGae aww gosh, i feel you - my parents tend to think the same way, it sucks sometimes :\
“no neurotypical scored above 64”
me with 220: …oh
i did the RAADS-R test and got 224 and ik i am autistic but wow thats high
the RAADS-R test though. i got a 184 (never been diagnosed but i already know i am autistic). i just wish there were more options in those tests cuz a lot of the times i need more context, like the do i like to be hugged held question. yes but only by like 3 of the closest people who i love to death, never by anyone else like i don't like it when people touch me. and for some other questions too, like i would have liked if there were some extra choices like sometimes or don't really understand wtf are you asking
There’s a better spectrum test posted on my community tab
@@OneSpicyDisaster checked it out and remembered i did take it when you posted that originally, thanks. i take all the quizzes i can find cuz it feels validating lol
I'm AuDHD, and that's approximately what people mean when people say neurodivergent, so a lot of these apply to me and I appreciate them.
But I want to take this time to clarify that ADHD and autism do not encompass the extreme breadth of neurodivergence. Other ways to have a neurodivergent brain:
-dyslexia
-sociopathy
-Borderline Personality Disorder
-narcissism
-PTSD
-cPTSD
-various learning disabilities and differences
-schizophrenia
-Dissociative Identity Disorder
... And many more
These videos are also often western- or even America-normative, meaning that social norms in other countries and languages will drastically change the expectations of neurotypical behavior.
I want to spread awareness so that people who might need to use the labels "neurodivergent" and "neurotypical" to explain their experience will be able to see themselves represented here, and will be able to discuss their experience without being discredited or othered by people who didn't know.
Thank you for saying this, i have NVLD and tourettes and when i feel like i dont fit in with everyone else i often cant find peace with the fact im just nurodivergent because i dont have adhd or autism
i got 193 on the RAADS-R test
Kinda impressive. I got 164
I got 180
I got a 183, I didn’t realize how many symptoms I have. It could be because I grew up with an older autistic brother but idk
I got 170 ._.
I got 232
I just took the raads r and got 157
I knew I wasn’t neurotypical but jeez
I took the RAADS-R test and got 178, that was just me answering based off of masking, imagine the score while unmasked :')
No wonder my family jokes about me being autistic lol.
i took the RAADS-R test and got 141...
but i'm only 15 and it's intended for 16+ so yeah i should just ignore it 😅i'm neurotypical.
also i probably lied a bunch idk.
Most of the questions probably are the same ones that would be asked for people under 16. It’s not a bad thing to be autistic. With that high of a score it’s likely you are autistic but it’s possible that your not. I also took the test and felt like i lied because I wanted to say kinda instead of now and when I was younger.(and I’ve been diagnosed with autism already) Maybe try taking a different test. Also maybe talk to a professional if you think getting diagnosed would be helpful to you.
@@ConfusedBean777 I also felt like i was lying because I felt like I didn’t mean “now and when i was younger” completely, but it also felt wrong to say never. It’s pretty silly of me tbh since I am diagnosed as well haha
1:00 omg samee, doesn't make sense to me at all. Never knew that was a neurodivergent thing.
I got 138 and I know I’ve been medically diagnosed for adhd but I think it’s because adhd and autism tend to have a lot of comorbid traits
did you get tested for ASD as well? When I went to the doctor for an ADHD diagnosis, I came out with an autism diagnosis as well. But yes, ADHD could be the reason you score that high, though it could be beneficial getting assessed for ASD just in case (not that ASD is bad but it’s nice to have the diagnosis lol, and it can be quite beneficial having it)
btw sorry if this is irrelevant ^^
So the one about constructive criticism is in my experience the opposite. I've had NT people tell me only what's wrong with what I'm doing and no positives. I found ND people are honestly better with not upsetting people or at least not trying to with negatives only
I think it's more of a personality trait and how you were raised
i paused the video to go take the RAASD-R test and scored a 164- i have an autism evaluation in 5 days and this is all making sense.
I GOT 207 ON THE TEST, I have not been diagnosed but I have suspected I am autistic for such a long time
I got 224 on that RAADS-R test. I’ve been self-diagnosing as autistic (and adhd) for the past few weeks and this helped me feel less like I’m faking. But also that I need to get tested so my parents will actually believe me. My parents aren’t ableist but they also give some minor red flags 🚩 when talking about people with mental disabilities. Maybe I’m just reading into it wrong,
I was diagnosoi with ADHD when i was seven, my mom who all so has ADHD asked if i could get occupational therapy. They said no because apparently i wouldn’t benefit from that, so they just gave some meds that didn’t work and made me go trhough a lot of side effects. Some years later i asked if i could go to occupational therapy because i thought it could help me, well they said that i was too old for it/ they didn’t usually give that treatment for kids my age/ made me feel guilt for even asking for it, i was 10 and that i/ my mom should have asked for that treatment when i was diagnosed. When i was 14 my friend told me that they still go to occupational therapy.
Some times you have to be ready to argue with these people. Advocating for yourself really ought to be just a matter of asking for help but thats just not how it always works. A lot of them might deal with other patience that are in really bad shape and very obvious what their issues are and if your issues don't present the same or as obviously the you would have to be ready to explain all the layers to what you're going through. Its best to use lots of stories and examples otherwise it won't click in their brains, they won't understand very well, for one your issues are your norm but not normal to them. The more ways you can explain your difficulties the easier it will be for them to understand. Also there are a percentage of them who are idiots and some of them don't really care enough and should be in a different field, so to get the help you need sometimes you have to be willing to get a little verbally aggressive, like be willing to be persistent and a little obstinate about your points untill it clicks that you're saying isn't just enough for them to understand your struggle is real and you're not just a neurotypical being whiney. I was lucky in grade school, a lot of people in my school systems were major ableists but my mom was ready to go into full karen mode with the crappy ones, some of my special ed classmates didn't have that.
@@Sarcasmarkus thx
I just took RAADS-R test... I expected to be over 65. But didn't expect to be at 209. I think about getting official diagnosis, but in my country... well best case scenario means that I'll get sticker for my car meaning that I can use disabled parking spot... worst case scenario is "you cannot be autistic, you're female adult, not little boy"
11:13 this explains so so much
Took that RAADS-R test, got a 168. Oh wow.
I already know I'm ADHD and have Misophonia, I hope I can look into an in-person thing to help diangose me correctly if this is correct. whew.
THE FIRST ONE IS TOO RELATABLE
PS - love the thumbnail
In school we were using clay and I wassent making it the way we had been shown but still getting it to look how it was supposed to the teacher ended up taking over my work and re making it I wassent happy about it but couldn't really say anything
I just took the RAADS-R test and I got 167
I got 175, not surprised since I’m getting retested for autism soon
I got a 199 on the Raads-r test
so i tried to take the RAADS-R test, but i had never heard of it before so i googled "radzar test" and then the result showed RAADS-R and i was like "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's the thing" XDDDDDDD
took the RAADS-R test and got 162
I got a 191 on the RAADS-R
0-0
Currently doing the RAADS-R test for a second time. I feel like the damn test is trying to trick me that everyone doesn't do these things.
Update: I scored 181 now. Below 64 is neurotypical, right?
...fuck.
2:18 THIS
Nurotypical people confuse me
Dude when the RAADS-R TikTok popped up, I was like “why not take the test myself? I’m sure I’ll get a reasonable score”
I GOT 143. Looks like it’s time for a bunch of questioning and research, boys
3:32 GUYS I OAUSED TO GO TAKE IT
ANY TIME I WASN’T SURE I LEANED TOWARDS THE ANSWERS THAT WERE MORE NEUROTYPICAL JUST TO AVOID BIAS
I GOT 127
GUYS
GUYS I THINK I SHOULD GET TESTED-
I might have a score of 174 but there still is a chance im faking it or it's actually all just normal. I will never know
I took the RAADS-R test for shits and giggles since I already got a screening for autism. I scored 89 which makes a lot of sense because I am not autistic I have NVLD which has a lot of autistic traits
but also Im not 16+ and the question format kinda sucks ass so I kinda lied on a few
3:35 just took that thing and got a 183… that’s an A right??😎😎 /j
i have a question for fellow ND people. Do you guys forget certain socializing acts over time if you don't do it often enough? i think with the pandemic maybe other people are experiencing it too and i want to know. like the more i stay away from socializing the more i forget how to behave like a human like i am trying to behave like a character that i can't remember that well.
a little background story so maybe my question makes more sense. i have been living almost alone since like july 2018 (had to change cities with my emotionally abusive and controlling parents) and since then i have been basically in a social quarantine (with only internet by my side). like i have not been able to make any friends here, for a year and a half i was almost at the house unless i had to do grocery or go meet my sister who lives here with her family and i also didn't actively try to meet new people as i have never tried to do that in my entire life. for context, the last actual friends i made was like in 2011 (through no work of my own... it just happened) and although did find good people who i liked interacting with later on too it never developed into actual friendship that lasts nor i was looking for one. in 2019 and 2021 i have gone for some classes for a few months each year but even there i can't really socialize in the way that doesn't feel fake or overly masked to me, like very formal and not the way i used to be at all. i have had troubles with socializing since forever but i was quite good at mirroring and so i coped quite well imo.
since coming here though, especially as the years go by, i am having more and more trouble being a part of anything social and as if i am forgetting all that i had learnt in all the years about social cues and interactions. has anyone lese felt like this?
Yes. I was in a car accident almost 3 years ago. I got a brain injury and ptsd from it and it isn’t getting better so I’ve been basically laying in my dark room since then. The only human interaction is with my bf and kids. I only talk to people online. And i feel like people are tired of hearing about all my medical, mental and ND issues. My bf doesn’t understand anything about mental illness and my kids are special needs so they are as social as i am lol. So all that rambling to say i understand.💙💙
@@OneSpicyDisaster 💙💙 thank you for sharing. i am going through chronic physical and mental pain since a long time and it did feel like people got tired really easily whenever talked about it so i no longer tell anyone. although, in the case of my parents and sister, i am not sure if they don't understand or don't want to because then they would have to help me...
@@Blue-iv5fv "mental and physical pain" sounds like depression symptoms. When people talk with one another, because of empathy, we're capable of feeling each other's pain, there's a term for this called emotional contagion. Anywho... just because they get bit tired or a bit drained doesn't mean they don't care. Its really important that your friends and family know whatever you're going through, if they don't know they cannot respond effectively it will still affect them because you're still feeling what you're feeling. There's a responsibility for them to help you just like there's a responsibility for you to help, like the saying "no man is an island" what your loved ones are going through affects you and vice versa. And if you deny them the ability to respond effectively because you're trying to spare their feelings that would be B.S. on your part.
@@OneSpicyDisaster I hear what you are saying. Sometimes it does feel like people are tired of you/your problems. However, if you ever feel like people are tired of hearing about your issues, you might be right, but also, you could be misreading the situation. Whenever an issue comes up that I want to talk about with my boyfriend, I usually assume he won’t want to help me with it and would just prefer to break up. However, nothing he does points to that conclusion, and it’s just my own insecurities talking! When I am completely honest, he wants to help me. Also, if you ever feel as if you are too much of a burden, you are not! You are just as valuable as any other person, because you are human, and flawed, and that’s amazing :)) That being said, me and many other of the people who love your videos are really feeling heard and understood (I do not have social media besides TH-cam and a few accounts on websites for writing) because you give us access to this stuff. I, and I’m sure many others in the comments, would happily listen to your problems, validate your feelings, and give advice (only if want it of course!) I love to help out people because I want people to be happy and feel good, and I also want to make friends. So yea! Have a nice day!
That is very kind. Thank you so much. 💙💙
You should start posting psych ward tiktoks again i rlly enjoyed them 😊
I will post again. They don’t do as well and there aren’t many new TT’s of them so it’s getting hard. ☺️💙💙
@@OneSpicyDisaster ohh ok its fine! Your doing a good job at posting
i took the raads-r and got 208 overall... i'm not autistic (but seeking a diagnosis) but i thought everything on that test was normal
No definitely not. A lot of it is though. The empathy stuff is. so i don’t know?
I just took the RAADS-R and I scored 180. 180!😶
i don't think that these are all about neurodivergent people vs neurotypical people - e.g. the "body as a s*xual thing" one - i think that it could be more about asexual vs allosexual people? not all neurodivergent people only see certain organs as s*xual, and not all neurotypical people view whole bodies as s*xual. for example, i'm neurodivergent and i find necks (mentioned by the person in the video) attractive haha
i am neurodivergent and i LOVE breasts both female, male, trans, and non-bineary same with thighs
I got a 106 on the RAADS-R Test and I still haven't fully unlearned masking yet, I haven't been diagnosed by a professional, but I'm pretty sure I'm autistic (not just because of this test, I've done SO much research on it) Edit: I retook it and got a 120 with more honest answers (I read some things wrong) and got a 120 so idrk man/s
On the form at 4:00 I got 218 out of 227
0:15 As someone who's neurodivergent who masks a lot.
No we're not
Yes they most likely do
That's what it feels like to me.
Agreed. I also lie to be polite and see the value of it in society. I fail to see what's wrong with protecting other's feelings and avoiding unneccessary conflicts.
Also, people asking for something in subtext can be a way to give the other one a chance to decline without feeling the need to explain themselves or feel guilty for saying no - though it can also be used as a mean to "test" the other person and their commitment to your relationship. That's nasty but more rare.
I think perhaps 193 is pretty high at least compared to what I was expecting. So now at least I know why I have a shit life.
Anyone found any resources for asd people who are not pretty little children anymore. I just want someone to talk to about the relativistic synthesis of propulsive mass by way of continuous EM excitation of plasma in a linear particle accelerator. That or gy6 150 scooters.
Neurotypicals are weird
7:36 ok just say you think you’re better than neurotypicals. Im nd and even i know that neurotypicals don’t just wanna think about the social hierarchy and themselves
Huh? M here. M up!

Hello.
👋🏻
I have a tic disorder right? I was watching a hatsune miku video and “miku dio” was repeated frequently and it’s now become a tic- as is her traditional “Hatsune miku!” thing- is this bad because I’m in school? Yes. Do I find it hilarious? Absolutely
0:55 I'm not diagnosed but I suspect it so I think I can do this.
My baffling thing is the fact that that touching is considered like, the supreme *and only* kind of affection/comfort and if you don't want it, you're selfish and stupid and petty and you need to get over it. I don't know if this is actually a neurotypical thing or what, but like,,, Yeah.
As an autistic person I’ve always found it so weird that NTs would laugh at bad things happening to them. I saw this interviewer going around to university students in the US to ask if collage is worth it and how much it financially burdened you. And one of the girls said “I have $50 in my bank account right now hahahahaha”. Like why are you laughing?? That’s terrible

Dear teacher
I feel I have done very good, turned in all my assessments and don’t know why my grades have been suffering. My parents have been getting and and I think maybe I can make up late work, or other ways to get better grades. Also how have the kids been, and the wife. What about your trip to Rome?
Thank you, bob
