I really appreciate that this one didn't have any screaming videos, or ones that were way quiet right before a really loud one. A lot of these comps (not necessarily yours, but several ND/autism tik tok comps that I've seen) do that which is frustrating, especially on the autism ones because a lot of us have sensory issues (particularly with sound) and that can be jarring at best and trigger a meltdown at worst.
Yes, I understand. I’ve had a few videos that have had comments so I’m trying hard to prevent that. I’m not perfect though so it gets by me sometimes so I apologize. 💙💙
“It’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation.” Once I figured out those words, I used them SO MUCH on teachers in high school! Because it would literally throw me into a rage internally because they were refusing to listen to my side of things and would brush me off by saying “I don’t need or want your excuses” and I would fire back with “it’s not an excuse. It’s an explanation. I am trying to tell you what happened so you know the cause and effect. Let me speak.” And once I said that they were too stunned so I took that time to speed tell what I was trying to say or I’d just walk away.
My dog helps alot with my problems and someone once came up to me and said "oh if that dog isn't a therapy dog then you are clearly faking." I explained and they just walked off!
That person can go kick rocks. I have a therapy cat. And horses. I know it sucks when people say you are faking but try to remember that other people don’t matter.💙💙💙
on the one about the 'Special Ed' kids also bein nd, i agree. not all nds r gonna have been gifted kids but all gifted kids r gonna be nds. we can exclude others bc they didnt go through similar experiences as us(us as in gifted kids, bc yes i am a gifted kid). we were all truamatized and abused by the system, maybe in different ways but still truamatized none-the-less. its not right to exclude ppl who r like us bc they didnt go through nearly the exact same thing we did. that like someone who was beat black and blue as a kid telling someone who was emotionally manipulated as a kid that they 'didnt go throught the same thing so they werent abused' which is wrong.
For me with the 7+8 question, I try to make one of the numbers end in 0 So in this case, in my head, I'll take 2 off the 7, which now becomes 5, add the 2 to the 8 to make 10, so now it's 10+5=15
The 8+7 thingy, it either takes me like 5 minutes to do it, or I ask someone. And if I’m not sure I use a calculator. I can do like difficult equations in my head but I can’t do simple ones it just doesn’t work
I do it a little different. I add everything to 10 then add the excess. So I would do 8+2 = 10 then there is 5 left so 15. Which seems like it would be more complicated but that’s just how my brain works…. In 10’s. 🤷🏻♀️
i do it differently each time, this time what i thought was 6+8=14, +1=15 wich is funny, cause I used to HATE 8+6=14, i could never figure it out and spent a long time to do it, but it came up so much in my studies that i eventually memorized it, powered by my hate hahahahahaha (Im sorry if things are written all wrong, english is not my first language and in my computer I don't have the self corrector thingy)
For the 7+8=15, I count up to it using a dot system I saw once on a classroom wall. I start with 8 because it's the bigger number, then visualize the 7 and where its dots are, then count the dots on the number.
2:43 I have almost failed English class this semester my first year of high school because my brain thinks everyone else wants to know everything to so I add in extra info then get a 60 or 70 maybe an 80 if I'm lucky because it "doesn't answer the prompt" and my English teacher even put a comment on canvas "it doesn't seem like your paragraph is focused" like yes I know I can't control it I edited it 20 times I tried I have ADAH diagnosed when I was 7 and hate taking the medication and haven't since I was 10. So I dropped Advanced English and went down. My teacher last year gave me 95% or over on all my assignment last year saying he loved how I went into detail it shows I did my research and I like I was actually interested in the topic idk. Maybe just the teacher but I hate how I have to drop Adv English I love to write.
I do believe it depends on the teacher. My son has ADHD and TS and learning disabilities and the teacher he has specializes in special needs so he is doing amazing in advanced English. They need to teach you they way you learn. Not the other way around! Gosh I can’t wait until the world figures this out! 😕
In the special ed classes i seemed to do ok, but in standard classes i would either fail or get an A depending on the teacher, even in subjects i liked, like art class.
With the 7+8=15 one, the 15 comes to me straight away because I've just remembered it by wrote memory. Kind of like multiplication table. And the guy talking about neurotypes. What filter is he using? It keeps distorting his face, and it's really distracting. I don't even know what he was talking about.
I could never memorize the multiplication tables past 6x6. I do 7+7=14 plus 1 equals 15, and I do multiplication the same way. For 6x8, I'd get to 6x6 equals 36, then add 6, then add 6 again. It's probably related to this, but I always fully write out every step in a math problem. I've taken calculus... I've always been pretty good at math, but I'm very slow at it because my mind takes extra steps to get to the answer.
With the whole gender thing like I am a girl I've always been told I was a tomboy because the sensory experience of dresses and makeup is awful for me so I wear comfortable close. And people find that weird.
My daughter (18) has only worn boys and mens clothes since she was old enough to choose her own clothes. She also does not wear makeup! 🤷🏻♀️ I have a son, daughter, then another son. I’ve never had dolls or barbie’s in my house. The gender conforms are stupid. I’ve never forced my kids to follow what they “should” do by society standards.
@@OneSpicyDisaster exactly my mom was the same way of course you know we would be in stores and shes like that dress is so cute it would great on you and I'm just like um no shes ugh no fun just to pick on me😁
7:21 I found a couple of black garbage bags in the garbage alley behind my house. the one I opened had an entire outfit in it. Like boots, sweater, probably pants (I didn't dig around and only saw the first two) Its winter. there was no snow on the two bags and it snowed fairly recently. My guts tell me to call the cops about this but my brain tells me that its probably just some nasty set of clothes that got pooped on or something and someone wanted to get rid of them... by throwing them behind someone's house... in an alley... (Edit, my dog also found a police ball cap in my back yard yesterday. I don't know if this has anything to do with the garbage bags or not) Yeah, I threw them in the garbage cans /across/ the alley. My gut tells me I'm probably a bad person now though! But all I saw was a pair of boots and an orange sweater. Idk.
My brain goes "Okay, here's how we do this. 7+7 =14, 8+8=16, split the difference and that is 15." /success!!!/ 4:06 Yeah, I had a job for 10 years that was a customer service/sales job. I was notoriously very bad at the sales part. If someone didn't want to buy something, I wasn't going to make them, no matter the commission you offered me... Still kept my job for 10 years because I rocked the customer service part of it though.
2:33 Prank videos. Two friends/ lovers, whatever, are doing awful things to each other and people think that's funny? One bf sent me a video of this lady who put capsaicin spray on /her/ bf's toilet paper. He was obviously in pain and when she handed him an ice cube for his poor butt, it only made it worse because /that/ was infused with capsaicin also. This dude just wanted a nice poop and his girlfriend goes and makes his butthole breathe the fires of a thousand suns? Anyone who's had the DOE (deadly on exit) spicy poos would know that this is not cool. it actually made me cry for this poor guy. He was so upset.
I don't understand when people sat that nurodivergent people see gender abstractly? For me it just is It's something that's as much a part of me as my height or even my nurodivergence It might be because I don't have a strong sense of self but I just genuinely don't get it I just am what I am, in all aspects of my life /gq
Im not sure about that one either. I put it in there to see what everyone else thinks. Im Neurodivergent and I’m pretty feminine… but I love also typical “male” activities. I was playing in the dirt in my dress when I was a kid. So I embraced all sides of me. My daughter is the same. She is ND also. (All my kids are)
@@OneSpicyDisaster I totally understand that and I'm sorta the same way Do nt people really see things a male or feminine activities? Activities don't exactly have genders Like baking/cooking is the one that comes to mind I never thought people would actually still think like that
Oh unfortunately people do. My son would always want his nails painted when he was little and people would tell me not to do that because he’s a boy…😳 Wtf.!?
I think it’s more like autistic people don’t care about gender as much since its a social construct and social things don’t come naturally. So an autistic girl will be more willing to participate in “masculine” activities and an autistic boy will be more willing to participate in “feminine” activities. Neurotypicals gender everything and they stick to those roles religiously, unless they’re LGBTQ+.
@@emd4390 see another thing I don't understand Gender roles are a social construct, not gender I just can't wrap my brain around that, to me it doesn't make sense /gen Plus nt people really do think like that?? I had no idea, I thought that got left behind in middle school
As a neurodiverse person, this is just getting out of hand. There’s far too many people who treat nurotypical people as an entirely different speices. Wtf, we’re all people at the end of the day, some of us just have different brains
@Zoey Uram thanks... so my dad yesterday slammed my door and broke my wall a little bit and I was so scared his reason was “he needed to make sure I won’t fuck about” and my mum says “don’t hide your emotions” BUT I GET TOLD OFF FOR BEING GRUMPY OR MOODY??

Ok. There is never a reason to slam your door and scare you. I think it’s ridiculous for adults to expect children to not be grumpy or moody ever. We are grumpy and moody all the time! It’s perfectly ok to have emotions. Actually it’s more normal because to are just learning to regulate them and you need help learning coping mechanisms for them. If she wants you to come to her with problems she needs to make it a safe space. Is it possible to see a doctor about your sleep or a therapist? Is it possible to talk to your mom? Sometimes I’m too scared to tell my bf how I feel so I write it out in a text and send it to him. That way I can say what I want to without having the wrong words come out etc. Or if you can’t talk to her do you have a counselor at school? I hate the fact that you guys are suffering and all I can do is talk to you through a message. 💙💙 We are here to listen anytime though. I also promise that life gets easier when you get older.
I really don't like the videos that pit the neurotypes against each other. have ADHD and yes, it can be hard to connect with many neuro typical people, but as long as they agree that we both need to adapt to each other, it's fine.

As someone who always gets told that i'm "discussing too much" i really felt "it's not an excuse it's an explanation" in my very soul!!
