I'm getting over a sinus infection right now and, "Hi, I'm Noah and this is my voice day 1 on autism," might have actually killed me. I'm halfway through the video and I'm still alternating between laughing, coughing, and crying. Please send help

Same though I died internally when I heard that I had to be quiet because my partner is sleeping 😂
I'm silent chuckling to myself because if I audibly chuckle I WILL start coughing.
pluck the worms out
The true ASD test is actually not answering the questions on a quiz, it is how you react to the questions and wording and how you figure out answers to the questions. That's why you need to have a professional do the test with you. I was literally in a group for ASD, and during the sign up process we would have a 1-on-1 with someone to fill out questions, and the questions I asked about the questions (and what questions they are) were the exact same as everyone else who did the questionnaire. Its like "do you like people? Yes or no?" And everyone was like "WHAT DO YOU MEAN???? Some people are interesting but others are just bad and boring! Why is this a yes or no question???" and that is the ASD answer.
Oooooooh no that makes sense cuz me having done the RAADS test twice now and just answered everything as the question is written I've definitely stopped at most of the questions and asked myself what the actually means and in what contexts they would apply to me and how I should interpret the question 😂 Now I get like 86 or something on the test but it would be really interesting to me what a professional would have to say and whether they'd diagnose me or not
That makes sense actually, I know I have ASD and a while ago I decided to take an autism test for fun to see what it said and I remember pausing a lot on the questions to think "wait...it isn't yes or no, how do I answer this, what"
Makes sense. One time, an entire table of us at my school took the test and like, every 5th or 6th question I was like, "What are you talking about?? What's the context?? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, TEST?"
"Why is it a yes or no question?" That's the ASD answer.
....Accurate.
Though sometimes professionals can be kinda dumb. Like they think I don't really talk among other things, when those things were from ptsd, trauma, and major depression.
They were still right. I'm definitely autistic but smh sometimes.
Big words when a smaller one could be used. ASD! Um, no.... its called education and just being me. I had a good private school.
Wait, do allistic people typically just accept an absurd yes/no question like that at face value and not get flustered/mad at being forced to give a nonsensical answer?
As a trans guy diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism as an adult, your experiences are very similar to mine. I went through a mental process of worrying people would think I was "self-diagnosing" before I finally got tested. From what I've heard, this is a common feeling among adults who suspect they are autistic and are seeking diagnosis
Im a teen under 17 and I want to be diagnosed but I don't want to say "mum i think i have autism can i be tested" kuz I don't know how to word it without it sounding wierd and I don't want to self diagnose incase im wrong or ppl hate me for or smth
Why do I relate with every single person you thinks they might have autism-
@@Kai_pjofan ikr
@@trystanb4224 ME TOO!!!!!
I have diagnosed autism and tried to do this test ages ago but could not answer a single question cos like u described I didn't know which was the right answer and could always think of situations where both sides are true.
I got my diagnosis for ADHD today (after being diagnosed with autism six months ago and for six months before that asking for even a simple test for ADHD that my psychiatrist told me I for sure didn't have) and now it makes so much sense why I relate to you so much! I'm also trans, though nonbinary, and I'm starting to think about T and your experience really helps, so I guess everything is more clear now. I can see all autistic symptoms that you've listed and, as an autistic person, I'd like to welcome you to the club! I hope you can know for sure soon and that the diagnosis is what you think it's gonna be.
Yea my Tharipist keeps saying I can’t take an ADHD test because I have too much anxiety but it runs in my family really fucking heavily and I have literally every single symptom
I'm autistic and I get very overstimulated at live gigs (but i love them so its kinda annoying), but I went to yours back when you were on tour in the UK, and it was the first time in many many years that I didn't have a meltdown at a concert, which was amazing and honestly I think the vibe at your gig was just so happy and safe that I actually felt comfortable for once so it wasnt as difficult as usual, so thank you
Yay!
I have adhd, diagnosed last month and I've also suspected I'm autistic too.
Found out there is a lot of medical research data results saying that there is a lot of over lap between if you have one the higher chance you have the other too.
Not always but the data doesn't lie, unless its manipulated/ confirmation bias involved which is unscientific and wrong to do, to prove for or against the actual real raw data and findings.
hi noah you made me realized that me being trans is ok! 💛
Love you all, be safe. 💗🏳️⚧️
Waaaa as another trans guy this makes me so happy, congrats on accepting yourself that takes so much time and thought💞💞💞
yeah i took the raads-r with my friends who are all diagnosed with autism,,, i got the highest score. so the past few months have been a lot of self reflection and research.
i think actually thats part of the reason it took me so long to realize im trans, becuase i have never felt like i knew how to fit in and i had to learn how to socialize and be a person by following people around me. part of that became Being A Girl. during the first lockdown, when i didnt have to spend so much time with other people, i was able to let that unravel and start to discover who i actually was. and almost three years later, here i am, finally starting to understand why i had to struggle so much
Just want to say, this is very relatable as a trans feminine person with autism who’s still growing up.
literally same
i had never found someone to have such a similar experience to mine! until nowadays, i get really confused about how to answer how i felt as a kid (gender-wise) bc i was just a kid trying to fit into the norm =/
but i don't think i'm autistic, though some allistic people have commented to me that i seem like it (i can not agree).
Congratulations on getting the highest score!
Yeah I’m diagnosed. Gonna be honest. I wondered this as soon as I came upon this channel. Strong ND vibes
This is the most relatable video I have literally EVER seen
same

I saw the title and was like HE FINALLY REALIZED IT 😂 Congrats on looking into it and learning about and accepting parts of you that you may not have before. I know in the past you've said no it's just ADHD you're not autistic and as a trans man that was diagnosed both at 26... It was very clearly both to me because I relate so much. Know that the community does consider self diagnosis valid, especially with how inaccessible diagnosis is if you do want to label yourself autistic. I'd also read up on ARFID, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. I've had it my whole life and it's really common in autistic people
This video just makes me so much more confident in the fact that I do have autism
We respect self-diagnosis around here! I actually got tested for ADHD because of you being open about your ADHD, and that lead directly to me being tested for Autism. It explained so much of my life. I even found out I'm an extrovert, turned out I was just traumatized by how people treated me when I was fully myself! Allistic (non-autistic) people like to assume the worst of others, so everything I say and do was seen as malicious in some way. Now I know I am exactly who I say I am and I'm so happy and proud to be autistic! 😊
You helped open the door to me finally learning to love myself and finally grow as a person. I can never repay you, but I'll always voice my support for you and all your endeavors! Keep at it, bud!
PS I hope I get to come to your show in Phoenix because I'd love to tell you this in person!
11:34 this especially! Don't ever let people convince you that you're a bad person or that you're trying to be hurtful when you simply misunderstood something! The thing about autistic people is we are more than happy to adjust our behavior if they just say something is bothering them. But allistic people assume you're going to be able to pick up on their invisible rules. It's ableist as hell! So don't feel bad when people mistreat you for saying the wrong thing or misunderstanding something. That's on them. ❤️
aw what🥰
Exactly self diagnosis is so valid especially when the waiting list (at least where I am) is minimum 3 years. Do they expect people to just not mention it when you’ve spent years understanding that you most likely have autism and qualified for research and have done so much research yourself. Not to mention that in other countries people have to pay a crazy amount of money to get referred in the first place
i went into the RAADS test assuming i’d get around a 100 but i ended up with a 174
edit: this isn’t a competition guys
Lol I got 175,
*1 level higher*
(This is a funny joke, hahaha)

I got 173

1:00 "Hi, my name's Noah, and this is my voice one day on autism."
💀💀💀
I appreciate that you don't claim to be "touring Canada" when it's really just one show in Toronto like all the other artists do. I get my hopes up when they do that.
The hyperfocus thing is 100%, Right now my brothers is overly talking about Cyclones. Good thing is when I wanna learn something and he likes it, I can say I know every detail
I am going to a professional to get help and yesterday I found out that I may have adhd and a tendency to autism, because my mother has adhd, etc. Watching this video made me feel so much better and I just want to say thanks❤
The data and studies done by scientists have linked that there is a lot of overlap in findings.
if an individual has adhd they are more likely then the regular population aka non nerodiverent individuals.
To have ADHD and vice versa for autistic individuals to have adhd as well.
3:19 as someone who had been diagnosed with autism 10 years ago, i have a lot of autistic friends but this is the first time i’ve heard someone relate to me with only eating plain pasta when they were younger and haven’t been able to eat sauce with it since a couple years ago!!
I was laughing so bard during this video because I have autism and ADHD and I relate to so much of what you say in ways that people with just autism or just ADHD have not been able to say idk why that's funny to me but it is
Hey Noah I was diagnosed with autism last Thursday, I leaped on the yt notification
My heart goes pitter patter😭 lol hard relate! Also I liked that you did some misconceptions and myths and facts about autism before you started!
Honestly autism runs in my family. and I was kinda raised to think it was weird so I never thought about it. but I fit this description to a tee and it literally explains like everything about me. my grandmother who is a special Ed teacher got upset when I was a kid. because for a while when I was younger anytime I didn’t know what to say or just felt like it. I would meow instead of speaking. and she said that was something special Ed kids do. Also I’m literally so fucking happy to find out that I’m not the only one who does the clothes things. My parents get really upset with me a lot. Because I will buy clothes and then not be able to wear them. And my parents would scream at me because I would literally start crying if they tried to make me wear the clothes.
So I got 161 on the test😭
the plain pasta thing was the most relatable thing i've ever heard as someone with autism and adhd i relate so
hard
The instant you started the test and went “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT” was instantly so relatable lol
As an autistic person, I now know that in a formal diagnosis they look for you thinking that the question is far to vague. It’s like “there is not nearly enough context for me to answer this question,” 😭
i’m about to get my consultation for autism! good luck on your journey Noah! (we have the same name too)
I just had my doctor try and tell me that I don't have ADHD after several conversations making it PAINSTAKINGLY OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE IT and three years of trying to get all of the surveys in order and stuff and I've been having a really rough time with that. I've also been suspecting lately that I might have autism too (I scored 172 on the test you took), but after this whole ADHD fiasco I don't think that my doctor would be much help, and if I said anything to my parents about it I'm sure they'd say "oh no, you're perfectly fine, you don't fit this CISHET WHITE MALE VERSION of autism we think is the only kind that exists and is a thing" and am just overall feeling really fed up. Your videos always make me feel so much better, really helping me see that I'm not alone and that I'm not being ridiculous and making this all up in my head. Thanks a ton for the videos, Noah :)
I was diagnosed with autism at 19 and let me tell you, y entire life changed. Suddenly everything made sense. All the weird things about me people would point out had an explanation, I understood myself on a level I never had before
I've taken that test 3 times, each time I've gotten scores in the 150s. I've never been officially diagnosed so I can't say for sure that I have autism, but those tests, plus many things in my past (including actually being told by my mom in my late teens that she and my aunt suspect I may have it), make it so that it is definitely a possibility for me.
This speaks from my soul.
If felt this way my entire life too. I relate so much. I have them both. Autism an Adhd. I always felt so embarrassed to feel like that and always thought of myself as a kinda failed human being and my experience not being validated. Seeing my favourite TH-camr going through that same experiences makes me proud to know that I'm a transgender, autistic ADHDer. Thank you so much Noah. You're a really cool, unique person!
Omg, honestly Noah, everything you talked about before you took the test screamed autism to me. My kids and I are all neurodivergent. Between the four of us there are 3 official autism dxs, 2 official adhd dxs, 1 official dyslexia dx and two of us have GAD and MDD. The way you answered the questions and how you gave specific examples make me 99% sure an official dx is in your future. No wonder I have loved your channel since the first time I watched you. Queer and Trans identities are more prevalent in the autism community too. Stats support this. ✌🏼
Love you so much!!! Your videos are a fun way to start conversations about this stuff. Keep doing what you do!
Honestly, quizzes like this drive me crazy. I prefer quizzes that are like on a scale of 1-10 how would you answer this question? Maybe because this is a test that is testing for autism, the questions and the options make sense but can I get a "sometimes" option. I feel like my answer is sometimes for a lot of these questions and I don't know whether to answer true or never true. This quiz clearly shows that talking to a professional to get an official diagnosis is the way to go.
i’ve been stuck in a constant state of being so confused about if i have autism or adhd or both or neither and while that hasn’t really changed this video was really nice to watch!! it’s nice hearing other people talk about this kind of stuff :)
I got a score of 210. Got diagnosed like a week ago, guess that makes sense 😂 Find it so interesting how different people are on the spectrum!
i’ve taken the RAADS-R test so many times and every time i get over 160 in some way or another. also the entire time i was watching this video i was like “haha, I do that!”
Learning to translate my thoughts into words others understand and that not meaning I'm broken just on different software; and looking at the bit between eyebrows rather than the eyes were the two main things I learnt in counseling at the beginning of uni.
So useful.
Still now, if I'm very tired or very absorbed in a solo activity, I'll forget to translate properly and people are like "I don't understand what you mean", and I'm like "right, sorry, switch my communication standard"
i’m autihd and i totally relate. i know it’s scary to feel like ur an imposter almost?? for seeing these signs but you got this!!!
6:26 “if you don’t mean what you say, why don’t you just say what you mean?” EXACTLY!!!
I've been diagnosed with adhd since I was 9, rlly long time ago. Of course adhd is one of my three diagnosed Neurodivergeneces, but my therapist had recently been speaking to me and mentioned some of the traits I've recently mentioned seem like autism. I am going to schedule for a diagnosis soon so fingers crossed that goes well lol.
tried to take this test a couple of days ago, couldn't do it because what do some of these questions MEAN? it was nice to see you go through them all and getting to explain your reasoning for answering what you're answering. if that makes sense. cause that's what was missing for me and making it kind of impossible to finish the thing
Hey Noah I love your videos you helped me get through coming out as pan and nonbinary and I just love you so much❤
omg he's just like me fr!!! All the things you listed were the same as me, diagnosed autistic at 12. In some ways I'd say you're lucky to only be getting diagnosed now. I'm currently 18, but my family treats me like a baby, incapable of making my own decisions. I don't know what your family is like, but my family uses my autism as a reason I can't transition and can't make my own decisions on my gender identity and sexual orientation (I am a trans male like you). I have heard it is significantly harder to get gender affirming care as an autistic person.
Upsides to being diagnosed? Special treatment at school? Well, even after having a diagnosis, teachers didn't know how to help me. My parents were constantly telling the schools to implement things to help me be more comfortable at school, and they said that they would, but surprise surprise, they never did. Idk if that was just a problem with the schools that I went to, or a societal problem. Also NDIS stuff and support workers are seriously hard to get, and the turn over rate on social workers is atrocious.
Anyways, cool video, Noah! Very relatable as always! :) Glad to hear you're finding out more stuff about yourself.
I am very very close to send your video to a friend to explain how I function because I relate waaaaaay more that I thought I would xD Thank you so much for this video, it's super great, loved it.
Hey Noah! I'm nonbinary and your videos have helped me so much, even in today's media I have a hard time finding good representation for mental illnesses, and neurodivergency especially in real life. I've noticed hearing others talk about adhd and autism that there are symptoms that have overlaps with anxiety, which I have. I decide to take the test, just to see and I ended up getting 170. I'm going to try to talk to my therapist and doctor about getting actually diagnosed with adhd, autism or both. Thank you so much for the videos and I hope I can see you when you come on tour!
I’m currently in the process of trying to see a psychiatrist to get a adhd/autism diagnosis. Some of the questions on this test are so relatable. Another great video, Noah.
I can relate pretty much entirely with your experience! Granted I've known about being autistic since I was a teenager (formally diagnosed), but hearing it spoken back to me makes everything hit harder -- like why all my idiosyncrasies make sense lol. I've had so many arguments with friends and family members over how I need a space to be or how my "picky" behavior isn't just me trying to be overbearing or fussy.
Look, l'm not a professional at diagnosing, but I have autism and I find that autistic people can tell if someone has autism, almost naturally, and he definitely gives me that vibe after watching this.
heard this one a bit ago and JEEZ it helped me- non-autistic people don't tend to sit around thinking they're autistic/make lists or google slideshows (yes, i did that). probably obvious to most people but like- wow
10:57 - 11:11 This! I relate so much to this! When I had to answer the questions for my ADHD diagnosis I was overthinking the questions, had trouble remembering things and trouble differentiating between how I see myself and how it‘s actually like paired with the dread that I’m wrong. Like at this point it is triggering for me to have to estimate how I am, because I don’t trust my judgment and I am terrified of being wrong
I tried out the test and got 177. I was diagnosed with autism as a child. Lately during last year I have began to suspect that I have inattentive ADHD because that would explain so much of the struggles I have had with keeping schedules and my time blindness as well as how chaotic my mind can be. I am working now so I am going to self fund seeing a psych about an ADHD diagnosis. Also I'm genderfluid non-binary and use they/them pronouns :-)
I took an ADHD online test and it said that I got 17 out of 24 (the higher the score the more likely someone has ADHD) so I highly suspect I have it.
i knew about your spider-man thing but PETER PAN AND OLIVER TWIST WERE MY JAM WOW AWESOME
I love this 😭 I’m autistic and got my diagnosis last year. Very refreshing when things start to add up and you look back at your life through a new lens. Also the autistic community online that I have found and so kind and helpful.
Also, I too greatly love the spoons analogy and stuff lol it always is really helpful for me to explain my energy levels
Love you Noah! I've been watching you everyday lately and it always makes my day :D
Also my brother has autism and all the sterotypes aren't always correct
I guessed that you were audhd. I’m audhd. I really love watching your videos because I feel like I relate to you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉love you Noah!!!!
It feels so nice knowing that others feel this way too and im not the only one. I've been questioning that i might be autistic for a while now and ive also been making a list like you have which i found kind of funny. I strongly relate to everything you said and i find it very comforting to find others like me when for so long i thought i wasnt like everyone else.
I need to get my diagnosis for autism and adhd because, for me, a diagnosis helps me feel better about myself. I'm happy you've got a diagnosis for yourself!! I hope it helps you understand yourself more!!
Haven’t watched the full video yet but my experience is very similar to yours! I was diagnosed with adhd years ago but over the years I’ve found a lot of my symptoms point to autism as well, which I’m trying to get a diagnosis for. Also you being autistic isn’t really a superise to me, I was kind of thinking about it a few videos ago
Self-diagnosis for autism is honestly so valid, if you're paying attention to autistic people's experiences, fit the diagnostic criteria and score high on self-assessment chances are you may be autistic. Generally if you find the label useful and it helps you make sense of your experiences that's great! I mostly think official diagnoses are useful for the purposes of getting services/accommodations specific to autism
Self diagnosis isn't valid. Go to a REAL doctor and get of the internet.
@@ABCQTBREB tell how it harm anyone to get self dx with autism (i cant speak about other neurodivergency). This came from someone that have official diagnosis btw.
@@ABCQTBREB do you know how much an adult asd assessment is? Do you know how long the wait list is? Do you know how hard it is for women or poc to get a diagnosis because all information is based on white, male children? Self identifying is 100% valid.
@@bigbadror1705 That's because you (probably) live in good ol' 'Merica. It's easy to get a REAL diagnosis in countries with affordable healthcare. Sucks to be you 😆
I love how you literally describe autism using life stories. I'm AMAB, so I got diagnosed pretty early, but didn't really understand it until just recently. But yeah
ILYSM NOAH!! Can’t wait to see you in Toronto! 💕 🇨🇦
I'm 8 years older than you and it's like watching a younger British me lolol. You learn how to manage a lot of the social stuff as you get older. Like how you answered the last question. It's great you've got Cory and friends to help navigate through it.
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful 💜 You're not alone, we're all in this together and you're doing amazing!!
For some reason I love the videos of you and/or Corry taking quizzes , they’re quite entertaining
Man this is the most relatable video on the internet and it came at the perfect time!! Today my school called to say that teachers are complaining about my behaviour so I’m doing a diagnosis soon 🥲
this video felt like u opened up my brain and read off every experience i’ve ever had
i’m a trans man diagnosed with autism and awaiting assessment for ADHD. Autism and ADHD often coexist. It’s good that you’re discovering this stuff about yourself, It helps to know why you’re different and to understand yourself more. ❤
I’m autistic and listen to certain songs on repeat which my family says would drive them insane. Your music has became one of the things I listen to repeat.
I'm sorry for giggling, but it was linda funny that Noah took the question on "meeting new people" so literally. I understood it as meeting new people and being social/making friends/networking, not how to greet them (handshake, hug etc).
I really like your videos. You're a very autentic, funny and cool person to watch :) hope u have fun on your tour!
"Hello my name is Noah and this is my voice 1 day on autism" ok lmfao this video's gonna be a banger
Have you ever heard of synesthesia? It’s when you associate one sense with another, for example you might be able to smell color, or see music (colors or shapes), or hear sounds when experiencing pain, or seeing numbers, letters and words in different colors. I can relate a lot to you cause I’m also trans, have adhd, autism and also synesthesia. I thought it would be interesting if you have it too, since you’re a musician and a lot of musicians have synesthesia where they see color or shapes when listening to music or writing music :)
I'm diagnosed with ADHD and self diagnosed with autism (I'm waiting for the results of official one tho) and the video was so relatable it made me feel really seen. I still deal with a lot of internalized ableism so just seeing CC's like you talking about this possibility openly and not treating autism as a bad thing makes me really happy.
hearing him talk about all these things just reminds me when I was talking about how it made sense why I may be autistic. nostalgiaaaaa
Noah, I could tell immediately from how you talk that you weren’t neurotypical. Come on man, you ain’t fooling nobody. Much love from America❤❤❤
This was so funny to watch because my online friends were just doing this (we all scored high)
If I hadn't been diagnosed with autism nearly 30 years ago, I'd be rather alarmed at how many questions applied to me too!
this is making me cry i look up to you so much and now we’re even more similar i’m so like ahhhh
I decided to take a test too, went straight to the raads-r quiz before you got there and got a 210 :) I love your videos and your music
I went through a very similar process of knowing I have ADHD but not feeling like it explains everything, this is extremely relatable! I just got diagnosed with autism on the 9th after many months of similar thoughts and revelations :D
I was self diagnosed before being professionally diagnosed and this video was so relatable. If it’s something you’re comfortable with feel free to label yourself as autistic, self diagnosis is widely accepted as long as people do their research which you clearly have.
I honestly feel so blessed that I grew up around autistic people. Two of my best friends growing up along with two of my cousins are autistic, and in the last few years I met yet another autistic person. Only one out of five is a woman though. The other four are men which I find interesting. I'm genuinely so happy I get to know these people personally because I never thought of autistic people as being very different or weird even from a young age. To me there's no stigma to break when I talk to a new autistic person. I am close with my eldest cousin (who is autistic) and we text literally every day although we live on opposite sides of America. He's actually planning to move out to where my family lives so we can see each other more while he's in college and we all couldn't be happier. I know that people can be afraid of things they don't understand, but still, it's truly heartbreaking seeing my cousin being treated differently from me when we grew up the same way and share so many of the same memories and experiences. I wish the world would accept him for who he is instead of judging him based off of a word they don't fully understand. I'm so happy to not only see more representation in the media through the past few years and even months, but I'm also happy to see people talking about autism in such a casual way instead of making the conversation seem tense and cautious.
Noah, I've watched your videos for so so long now (I'm even coming to see you on tour!) and I want to say thank you for making this video. Although I'm not autistic myself, it means a lot to me to hear you talk about autism in this way. Thank you
I suffer from depression. But you make me feel so good 😊. I love ❤️ you and your comments
hello noah :D i just wanted to let you know that your music means a lot to me and you were number three on my Spotify wrapped!! i can't wait for more music and i really wish i could see you on tour
I’m a trans guy who was diagnosed with autism when I was 2 years old (The reason I was diagnosed so early is because my older brother was already diagnosed with severe autism so they wanted to get me tested out to just in case, ended up also being on the spectrum) and I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 10 years old. The only thing my ADHD really affects is my focus but my autism affects a lot more like my social communication skills, how I see the world and other things. I’ve also been dealing with gender dysphoria for 7 1/2 years and only last year is when I came to the realization that I’m trans. I basically spent 6 years as a Tomboy but more extreme.
I have ASD (clinically diagnosed). I’m not a doctor, but I can see you’ve done your research and really do align with a lot of the criteria. If you haven’t, you can also look at the ICD-11 online.
This video is not offensive at all. It feels like you’re trying to truly figure your diagnosis out respectfully and just taking us on the journey with you. You’re also raising awareness for autism and adhd, which is so important.
Been watching you for so so many years, and have wondered why i felt such a kinship when I wasnt super-into the music genre, i'm not trans nor queer. Well, being autistic, it all makes more sense now. The autistic and ND "radar" is very much a thing. I hope you wont have much annoyances with the process of checking it out professionally.
As someone who was diagnosed later in life (at 26), I know exactly the kind of struggles you've gone through. Both in the ways Autism has affected my life without me in knowing, and my road to realization that I was Autistic. I started questioning things after getting my ADHD diagnosis and interacting with AuDHD creators. And sometimes I still get imposter syndrome even though I now have a formal diagnosis.
Hi noah, i've been watching your videos for a while now and i'm autistic too yet i never really noticed the possibility/similar traits in you. but now you mention certain things its actually quite comforting knowing that someone else experiences certain things in the same way or at least in a similar way too :)
Two of my brothers have autism, and I’ve grown pretty used to living with them. It’s sometimes a bit hard when it comes to helping them with their homework, but in general it’s not all that bad. I’m basically the one child that puts so much pressure on themselves to be the best and rarely actually does stuff for themselves (more recently I have been trying to do more things for myself now like hobbies and other interests)
Fun fact! There's a slight overlap between the trans and autistic population! Research shows the autistic population is overrepresented inside the trans community! (The opposite is also true) That just means there's more autistic people inside the trans community than outside of it, and the other way around too! I myself am a part of a research program to improve standards of care for trans-autistic people (both trans and autistic).
This was funny, I had my grandmother take this test earlier today and then I saw you posted you took the test on your Instagram so I had to come and watch 😂
“hi my names noah and this is my voice one day on autism”
WHEN I TELL YOU I DIED LAUGHING
So excited for your show in Portland my wife and I will be there! How you described in the beginning of how you experience the world my wife does too and she was dx as autistic in 2020 and I have adhd we super neurospicy
I don't have autism, but I relate to autism like a little bit. Like a smaller amount than others, not enough to get diagnosed but enough for it to effected me.
Just finished the video.. I think I related a little to much to a lot of that.
Fun fact! If you have to do standardized tests at any academic level and have ASD, try to get an accommodation for a private testing room and the ability to talk/get question clarification. Talking out your logic out loud helps make answering easier, and clarification of questions means you actually know what people are asking you to answer (like the question "what is blue?" could mean anything, what objects are blue, what does blue represent, what does blue mean in the context of the class, what is the definition of blue, etc so its good to know what is meant by that question.)
For my whole life most people I’ve interacted with have always assumed I was autistic or had ADHD and it’s made me want to get tested for either of them.
