I got diagnosed with autism a little more than a year ago now. My entire life when I would get upset my mom would get really mad. She’d hit me, or yell, one time she forcefully closed my mouth to the point where it started to bleed. Now I cry as quiet as I can, so I don’t make people upset or mad. I’m only seventeen and she still does this kind of stuff. I’m even starting to see it happen with my younger brothers…
I would suggest talking about those things with a trusted adult who knows and understands mental health, like a Counselor or therapist 5:09 5:09 . Your mom sounds forceful. Which can be emotionally abusive. It's not fair to treat anyone like that. She might have autism too. But she herself would have to turn to therapy to stop those bad behaviors. Therapy is helpful with coping and even getting out of those bad situations. If you have some good friends or extended family maybe they can help. You can also move away from her when you can afford to. Just know that you matter in this world, that your voice matters. There's always someone who cares. You accomplish great things. You can do this❤ 🫂
As someone diagnosed on the Spectrum when I was 9, it's on thing for people like me to learn to pretend to be "normal" to "fit in", but it's another for other people to learn to understand people like us. Now wonder I was drawn to the X-Men as a kid.
The more I've learned about Marvel's mutants, the more I've seen it as an allegory for autism. It's great. And it's great because they face issues without being represented as weak. Autistic people are not weak or incapable-they're just dealing with different issues.
Being an autistic kid, I really wish that all parents could realise how it is for us. They don’t know how such a little thing can make us so upset, the only thing they usually know how to do is yell and tell you off for something you can’t control.
man the more of these autism themed short films i see the more i think i could have it, this almost perfectly lines up with an experience i had when i was a kid.
Wow! Watching this was beautiful! The message was definately there on how autism looks on both sides of the fence, from those who suffer from it and those who see it. I really relate to how Adrian felt in this, suffering with the amount of noise around them and from the mother’s frustration dealing with this but also asking the big question “what is their life like in their shoes?” And finding a solution to calm a situation down. This is a powerful message indeed and you should be proud of what you’ve made! It definately brought a tear to my eye! Massive well done indeed, my friend!
The one thing we all seek: To be understood. To help others help us. An experience is something to not just pass on, but to act as a reminder of what it is. To find a way of guiding that experience with time.
Wonderful, thanks to TH-cam for recommending me this beautiful animation, as an autistic person I could relate to both characters, thanks for making it ❤️
AFTER WACHTING THIS EMOTIONAL VIDEO, I SAY, 'STEP INTO MY SHOES, AND WALK THE LIFE I'M LIVING AND IF YOU GET AS FAR AS I AN, JUST MAYBE YOU WILL SEE HOW STRONG YOU WILL SEE HOW STRONG I RELY I AM 💥
Is it sad that I was expecting the mother to hit their kid. I kept bracing, waiting for it to happen. I was really relieved when they didn't, instead finding a way to help their kid. This is a really nice animation
Thank you for making this! I was recently diagnosed with Autism (ASD - Level 2 )not too long ago, and I watched this with my mum. So now she had a better understanding of my stimulation imput and output! Lots of love!
Hey. Don’t know if you still remember me since university. But mainly, I am impressed of this animation. I always try my best to aim to this level in my practices. But hopefully in the future and buy that massive tablet to improve more my digital animation and art. Always inspiring to see so many animation designs. Impressive as yours. :)
Ofcourse I remember you 😊😊😊 and thank you so much for your kind words ☺️💕 And I did most of this on an ipad in Procreate. You don't need a massive tablet to be a good animator but I understand we're your coming from, it can be overwhelming but don't compare yourself to others 😊😊 we should catch up sometime
@@drivemebatyDon’t worry. It’s not going to be too massive but it’s those tablets with the screens on them. Easy to buy on Amazon. Will come in handy for my animation and digital art. There’s this unfinished short story about one of my ‘half-OC’. One of the scenes involves my actual OC walking into a cave. Not easy with my drawing tablet atm. Also, I don’t mind catching up. A lot has happened since ever I left. Good and bad.
The animation was really good, and the girl is so cute. I felt bad for her when she was overwhelmed, that’s how autism feels, in that sensory overload.
Thank you very much for watching my lil project. Unfortunately when I created this animation the puzzle piece controversy hadn't yet happened, but do not worry I shall not be using it in future projects. :)
this is very sweet and adorable and explains autism very well, but the puzzle piece sign is outdated and you should use a gold or rainbow infinity symbol! just some advice. (love the animation by the way) 4:19
Thank you very much for watching my lil project and your input, unfortunately I created this before the puzzle piece controversy but will definitely not be using the symbol in future projects :)
I was diagnosed three years ago and it has helped me alot with being able to accommodate both in school and other aspects of my life. It allows you to seek help (if you ever need it)
@@drivemebaty Thanks! Could you do it before the sounds as well? Just so people know when the sounds are going to happen. Maybe something like WARNING: LOUD/COMPLEX NOISES Thank you so much for all the accomidations.
I am a level 1 autistic high functioning person with SPD,BCD and I can see and how sensory overload can be too much everything and a parent has been supportive of their autistic child and they need Actual support and guidance and help and get them into a IEP program for school education
I like this video it really explains what im currently going through ,Im not sure if im autistic but I felt happy to know others feel the same way I do.
Thank you very much for watching my lil project, I am glad you liked it. Unfortunately when I created this animation the puzzle piece controversy hadn't yet happened, but do not worry I shall not be using it in future projects. :)
If you make a part 2, have that lady’s kid have adhd or something and learns to accept herself though the kid. (Does she have a name? Or can I name her?)
I’ve been told I was high functioning autism my hole life then yesterday I found out I’m not high functioning in strat up autism more towards the more severe side I allways had a felling I was not high functioning my twin sister had the same felling and did her research and finally we were able to confirm it
We don’t use functioning labels in the autism community, as they’re harmful. Also, the autism spectrum isn’t linear. So, there’s really no such thing as “mild” or “severe” autism, just different support needs.
@@cadpigluckyI don’t care. It’s not rude to point out that it’s harmful to use functioning labels. It’s pretty rude of you to not listen about functioning labels being harmful too.
Thank you for reaching out, unfortunately when I made this animation the Puzzle Piece logo was still being used - however any future work I produce will not include the puzzle piece.
I really like that the person to gave them the headphones had a sunflower lanyard for a hidden disability, love that small detail.
😊 Thank you, I’m impressed you noticed!
Me too, my mom told me that when I was a baby, I hated loud sounds so it took me a while to figure it out with no dialogue.
I had no idea that the sunflower represents hidden disability😲. I need to get one where can I find the laynard.

Aw ur mom sucks
That’s no good! I hope things are improving!
Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes. This way you've walked a mile and you have their shoes
Not gonna lie you got me there halfway through
i expect nothing less in terms of comedy from someone with a siffrin pfp XD (/pos)

I'm an autistic adult, and I still get brushed off like that by my grandma. 😢
Yeah the same thing with my mom

I do not suffer from my autism.

No, no. OUT of my shoes. Life is easier to deal with when feet are BARE!
Haha 😂 love this
yes!!!! Dude I cannot deal with wearing socks or shoes, its really uncomfortable for me

WHY CAN'T MORE PARENTS BE LIKE THE ONE IN THIS VIDEO?! >:(
My mom certainly is. God bless her,
The animation was really good, and the girl is so cute. I felt bad for her when she was overwhelmed, that’s how autism feels, in that sensory overload.
I've always felt out of place within my own family do to my autism, this was beautiful♡ 🥹
Too ture for me
thank you for the warning for static 🙏🙏 i appreciate it a lot
So underrated
Not a big fan of the puzzle piece on the short but this is a pretty nice little autistic film.
Thank you very much for watching my lil project.

i cried watching this 🥲
Ok uh wow, that was beautiful, and emotional, I started sobbing and idk know why, wow (again)
I am glad you liked it :), apologises for the tears 😭
thanks for the awesome representation :)
Me: What's in your shoes-oh.
Really nice film! Thanks for making it
You are most kind, thank you.
I got diagnosed with autism today :\
i hope the best for you!
I hope knowing that helps 🤞
My results are coming back anyway now, and judging on how I relate to these animations I think I might be autistic
Great! I have autism too!
I was diagnosed three years ago and it has helped me alot with being able to accommodate both in school and other aspects of my life. It allows you to seek help (if you ever need it)
Thanks
Please set a sound warning so that this film is accessible to autistic people too.
(at the scene where the kid gets overwhelmed)
Thank you for pointing this out. I have now set a warning in the description.
@@drivemebaty Thanks! Could you do it before the sounds as well? Just so people know when the sounds are going to happen. Maybe something like WARNING: LOUD/COMPLEX NOISES

this is very relatable actually i love it (the second part not so much, that part hasn't happened yet)
I love this video so much and I always come back to it, I find it comforting
Moms are truly the best
So talented ❤😊
The way I started crying the moment they got headphones.....😢
I like this video it really explains what im currently going through ,Im not sure if im autistic but I felt happy to know others feel the same way I do.
I love this but also using puzzle pieces to represent autism isnt a good way to do it, its better to have an infinity sign
It’s an old video, I don’t think infinity was as prominent back then
@@sopwithhannah2401it’s been a thing for much, much longer.
Thank you very much for watching my lil project, I am glad you liked it.

I was dubious at first because of the puzzle pieces but I loved this 🥰
Amazing Video
Poor kid
They’re green shirted with a sunflower to represent the lanyard right?
I didn't know there was a warning and had to turn my sound down, Please if you havnt state in the title to check the description
Cute!!
Cute animation
Okay look as a epic-Voya-Nui-mega-cool syndrome suffer myself (autism) I don’t want a lanyard or anything, I just want to be normal.
I feel that way too (also autistic)
If you make a part 2, have that lady’s kid have adhd or something and learns to accept herself though the kid. (Does she have a name? Or can I name her?)

@@cadpiglucky It’s not rude. I’m literally autisic myself. It’s rude to use functioning labels.

I have autism so does my mom and she likes to compare me to her but no other person with autism is the same and I just get very annoyed by it
i am crying
Please don’t use the puzzle pieces next time it means that autistics are broken and the mom should not of dragged him or be mad

Hearing problems? People talking among themselves a problem?
the sound can overwhelm and overstimulate people with sensory issues if there are too many voices at once, or if the speakers volumes are too loud
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
