      Yeah that really makes me wonder how they’re trained. Do they rigorously train all their employees to accommodate all children? In any case, it’s adorable and wholesome. Peter Pan made me think of my older brother whenever I’ve seen him play or interact with little kids.

      ​@@malicorne8201 My brother isn't autistic and sometimes my mom, dad and I will be sitting on the couch and my brother will make a loud sound and then there's just three people with auditory sensitivities just going "UR SO LOUD TF". We eat at the exact same restaurants every day, and usually it's pretty dark in the house. It's filled with random things from each of our respective special interests (my dad has a corner of records and comic books, my mom has an entire room full of horror movie stuff and I have a bookshelf full of neuroscience books)

      I fully agree. As someone who was diagnosed at 2, it didn't help my self esteem at all. In elementary school, I kinda picked it up from my parents' conversations, and I came to "understand" that my autism is me and I am my autism and that it was the source of all my problems and therefore I am doomed (do I sound like Autism Speaks? Because when I was little I thought it was supportive. I had no idea it was really Neurotypicals Speak Over Autistic Voices and Try to Eliminate this So-called Epidemic). I was forcing myself to function normally in the bright classroom in an uncomfortable chair when everyone else was SO FREAKING LOUD, and I didn't have the energy or the maturity to realize it's not my fault I didn't fit in. It made more sense to blame myself. On top of that, I struggled to actually complete my homework in a timely manner, which I also assumed was autism at work (now I know it was mostly ADHD). 8th grade was extremely difficult because I felt extra pressure to fit in, like most teenage girls, except my brain kept saying, "you're autistic. You'll never fit in unless you put in absolutely all of your mental energy and learn about things that do NOT interest you". I decided not to do that, but it still hurt that I was so out of touch.
      It took me until high school to fully understand that I didn't need to fit in, that conformity and being "normal" is overrated, that people will love me for who I am, autism is not a death sentence, and that my strengths are worth celebrating even though they don't help me so much in social settings. THIS is what I needed in elementary school. Not the knowledge of my autism that I couldn't really understand correctly. Even though my parents frequently reminded me how smart I was, it didn't feel like enough, and I still felt the stigma around autism.
      We need more acceptance, more stigma breaking, more widespread information on autism as it really is. It pains me to think how many children grow up thinking that autism breaks them. I finally understand it makes us who we are, and that whoever that is deserves a place in the world.
      Sorry for the long comment.

      @@ellieragsdale4398 i’m the exact opposite, at least diagnosis-wise. i grew up in a home that never talked about mental health and my father just doesn’t believe in mental illness or developmental disorders. every time i would ask for help he would just give me study tips and i would spend hours every weekend trying to focus and crying because i couldn’t do the work. at 17 my mom and i went behind his back to get me psychiatrically tested, and i got diagnoses for adhd,autism,depression, and anxiety. even after telling him he went on a long speech about how doctors aren’t reliable and there’s no physical evidence for my problems (of course my firsthand experience, evidence of hormone deficiencies that cause adhd and depression, and decades of case studies on my exact conditions weren’t enough for him) and eventually steered off into an anti-trans rant. i guess in his mind scientists are all evil and wrong so the ones who promote transgender care and the ones who diagnose mental health disorders and disabilities are one and the same. he’s super wacko christian and a total bigot, so not surprising but it hurt to see him so misguidedly angry at something that i found solace in, my diagnosis.
      eventually, after a lot of tears, and a difficult weekend with him, i go back to my moms and prepare to never talk to him again. i get on a phone call, tell him i’m not visiting him next weekend, and what he said hurt me. he called me manipulative and tried to explain that he was just looking out for me and this wasn’t his intention, and “punishing him wouldn’t make me feel better”.
      months later, i still talk to him and occasionally come over to his house. i’m not quite ready to say goodbye indefinitely, but i don’t know what would change his mind if this entire thing didn’t.
      i’m not trying to say your experience wasn’t super difficult, and i certainly don’t want to make a contest out of it. it sucks that either way us neurodivergent people get the short end of the stick, even from close friends or family. the casual ableism i hear constantly is astounding, especially since i mask fairly well, so i can only imagine what other in the community have to deal with.
      i’m sorry you dealt with that, but i hope you’re doing much better :)

    I ended up looking at these videos after a lifetime of feeling alien to this world, struggling to maintain normalcy and spending over a decade of therapy and misdiagnosis. Stumbled into Autism through ADHD and CPTSD.
    Me: at 42 na I'm not autistic. I don't do that stuff.... masking?.... maybe..... oh... everyone doesn't do this...
    See the last clip
    🤯
    The more I learn the more I'm sure there is a reason I think and feel the way I do and why its been so hard to be normal. Why I can't maintain it. Why I've been so unsuccessful at making my self "better"
    I've never had the words to explain whats going on inside and the more articles and vids and AQ tests. The more relevant words I find.
    Could it be that I'm not broken or forsaken?
    Maybe I'm just different.

    Re: echolalia
    I kinda sorta did that as a kid, I would repeat certain lines I’d heard from movies/TV shows, but only sometimes, it was never a constant.
    However now, as an adult, I find myself imitating not *what* someone speaks, but *how* they speak - their tone, their pitch, how their words flow together - and yes, accents too.
    There’s a few people who work for the same company that I do who are from the UK, and I have to actively stop myself from mimicking their accent because I don’t know if that’s something they’d find offensive or not 🙃

If you’re going to get an autism diagnosis make sure you go to someone of the same sex that is also on the spectrum and will understand it. There are many women out there that diagnose and have it themselves so therefore your diagnosis is a trustworthy one. Especially if you’re a woman. You’ll be relieved you did.

      The theory behind “you don’t look autistic” is that when people think of an autistic person, they either think of someone with Down syndrome, or is in a wheelchair like screaming and bobbing their head around. That’s why I think they say that and I’m not sure if they mean it offensive or they just didn’t know it could be perceived as offensive. It’s just that when people look or act like the things I have mentioned above, those people usually do have autism and so therefore the people saying that are associating autism with those traits, which of course is not true in a lot of cases. And I don’t think they should just be assuming though because autism is a mental disorder and doesn’t reflect on the person’s outer image

    It’s so sad seeing people hate on autistic ones. We have an autistic teacher at school. He also has adhd but it doesn’t change much. But all that doesn’t make him “weirder” or “stupid” as my class calls him. That makes him actually great! He’s so understanding of everything and everyone all the time. That man has been a better father figure than my blood father did so ye. He’s amazing and I can’t stand people shit talking him. No one deserves hate for who they are ❤

    As someone who cosplays and is going through the process of getting diagnoses right for autism. It really does mean a lot to the children to portray the character in a positive and inviting light for them. I dressed up as princess peach one time. This little girl was so happy that she literally cried. But I spent as much time with her as I could. I saw her 6 months later and she remembered me. She came running up to me yelling princess peach. And she felt safe and welcomed. It may seem like a simple act of dressing up. To them it literally means everything in that moment.

    Twirling, combing and braiding my hair, snapping my fingers, clucking my tongue and popping my mouth (stimming, still do). I used to write out "rules" for how to be "normal" and fit in with other kids and be accepted (I failed!). I'm diagnosed ADD, BPD and bipolar but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not also on the spectrum 🤔

    I think my little brother might have undiagnosed autism. I tried to talk to my parents about it, but they were like "How could you say that about him?" and went on mocking me, telling me I'm not a medical professional so I should stop talking nonsense.
    It's true, I have little experience with this topic, I stumbled upon a few educational TH-cam channels only recently, so clearly I'm not an expert. However, I am noticing more and more behaviours in my brother that could point towards him having autism, and I'm concerned that he might not get the treatment he needs growing up.
    (Funnily enough, as I'm listening to a lot of autistic people talking about their experiences, much of what they are describing is relatable to me as well...)

    • @coffeekat5066

      Well clearly the answer is to become a medical professional so they either have to listen to you or come up with some other dumb argument haha.
      I do feel like I have to mention though, autistic people don't *need* treatment. I've never had so much as a scrap of it, or any sort of special support from my family. Do I think my life would have been easier with it? Maybe, but I have serious doubts about it.
      Other autistic people may feel differently, but I've never spoken to any, including my older brother (so you know, someone else who grew up in a zero support family) who was only recently diagnosed.

    e.g. we were picking up tennis balls and I was dancing around while I picked them up.
    “why are you doing that” (he had very little energy lmao)
    “because I want to”
    “your autistic-ness is showing”
    just stuff like that. I find it funny to be honest.

    Whenever I was watching Karate Kid and they were hypnotising the snake by swaying back and forth, people would comment that I would also start swaying back and forth without me realising. Also I love Scottish accents and so whenever I watch a movie or hear a person talking that has the accent, I unconsciously start talking in that accent as well. This also happens for Irish accents, but less frequently. The vine video about "Road work ahead? Ah yeah I sure hope it does!", I say that out loud frequently when I'm driving or am a passenger whenever I see a road work sign. Also, when I was being taught how to drive, and the instructor would say "Slow down" I would start to whisper "Slow down, grab the wall, wiggle like you're trying to make your ass fall off" and I would get weird looks 😅

    I think I have echolalia, echomimia, and echoplasia. I repeat certain words (especially if they're unique or weird sounding), melodies, or sounds both in my head and out loud. I unconsciously mimic the facial expressions I see on TV or if I read a facial expression in a book (i.e. "his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion") I make that same face. I also mentally outline objects or even people in black lines, which is actually really helpful for drawing because it gives me a mental map of the thing

Now I just struggle with seeing smaller details when I don’t wear my glasses). I was supposed to start school that year but someone in charge thought I would outgrow, my ADD, my autism AND my genetic visual impairment in a year, so I started school a year later instead. They had the same logic when my brother was diagnosed with autism and ADHD and was supposed to start school. 😐

      Autistic traits are universally human - it’s just a matter of how much those traits affect you. Some people say “oh, we’re all a little autistic, aren’t we”, when this is not true.
      Autism is also not a scale that
      goes from “severe” to “mild”, but instead a circle, with different autistic people struggling with different things. Putting an individual on a line is just reducing them to how hard YOU think they have it.
      If you are currently able to go through with a diagnosis, so do so, because you may be able to get a ton of resources and it may help you understand yourself better.
      Hope it helped a bit!

      1. Healthcare professionals can be a bit skewed in whether to diagnose if your traits don’t present in the obvious, stereotypical way.
      2. If it turns out you’re NOT autistic, the things you struggle with won’t just magically go away. You still deserve accommodations if you want them. This is something I’m trying to tell myself as well, because I’m currently waiting to begin my evaluation.
