A big welcome into my life! I am a Dan from the UK and I have #Aspergers Syndrome or #ASD which is a form of Autism, often referred to as High Functioning Autism or #Autism Spectrum Disorder. I make videos every week on my journey and offer tips and tricks to help everyone who has Autism.
I also have help videos for helping people get a diagnosis of Autism or Aspergers Syndrome, and also some advise and help for anyone who is friends, partners or loved ones who suffer from Autism or Aspergers Syndrome and just about anyone on the Autism Spectrum.

I pretty much listen to music everywhere I go.
+Maurice Cherry Yeah that helps!
Maurice Cherry same.
Me to and also in the shop
Good luck with... oh, it's already over :P Anyway, leaving extra time is always a must for travel, followed by making backup plans (like if your 3G fails, or if you get lost).
+klutterkicker Yes! I think there are lots more that I need to add in!
I like the video improvements you've been doing recently, I can tell the quality has gotten better. Like scene transitions, music during the transitions, all that is great. And I don't know if it's just me, but it sounded like you were talking a little slower.
It all gave the video a nice Casey Neistat-esque flow.
+GbugTheAwesome Thank you!! Yes I am just trying to improve my quality!
I just checked out one of your band's music videos. It's strange, but I like it!
+Joshua Kitchen Hey thanks!!
I always find it interesting hearing about how differently ASD can affect people. I am hyposensitive when it comes to visual stimuli (in terms of seeing lots of different things at once), but hypersensitive to audio stimuli. Bright lights at gigs do throw me off though and I much prefer dimmer lighting. The beeping when some trains stop in Scotland to let you know the doors can open makes me dizzy and I feel I can't think. Makes my heart go like the clappers for about a minute, too. Some announcements on aeroplanes make me slam my hands to my ears. I feel very lucky that I don't seem to get travel anxiety, I generally enjoy it. Love the channel, mate.
+Steve Warner Hey thanks for the kind words! Yeah I get like that with He noise of people in busy places 😩.
Very recently, i weny traveling with my parents, and we had to take three planes! It was horrible, and i wish i had known these tips then.. Anyways, great video! Keep up the good work :)
+That is Nonsense Oh that sounds awful! You are welcome!
This sounds like it might help with my travel anxiety. Thanks!
I give every hack of yours a try. Most of them really helps me! Hugs from Denmark!
Oh awesome! I am so happy they work! Thanks!
I had a worst case scenario when driving the length of California for a visit. My car had no charger and my GPS started wearing down my phone battery...fast. I started to panic, and there I was on insane hwy 5 between giant semi trucks so I couldn't even see the hwy signs. The tears started...the banging on the steering wheel...then guttural screams...Somehow I made it into the exit lane and got off. Then I tried to compose myself, but with the phone battery dying I just couldn't. I knew I needed to get somewhere I could charge my phone. It finally wound up that I HAD to continue my trip with no GPS just until a rest stop where they had charging ports available. Sat there an hour, in a picnic area while I charged up...turned out that was pretty calming. I reached my destination later than I had hoped but overall I was proud I had somehow worked it out without laying on the side of the hwy weeping. Tip: don't drive a vehicle without modern tech.
Last weekend, I went to TwitchCon. Had a friend drive me (3-4 hour ride), roomed with some people I have known over the internet, for a 4 day weekend. I had an Aspergers Meltdown the first morning at the hotel, and stayed in the hotel room until it passed. What really helped me is the people around me who knew my situation and were absolute dears. Some tips I learned from Invisiblei, is to bring an extra set of clothes, and my own pillow and sheets from home. I learned that having these extra items were an absolute must... as I had undercounted the clothes I needed by one day, so the spare clothes came in handy. I was able to snuggle with my sheets and pillow when I needed some extra comfort. Overall the trip was worth it, and I look forward to doing it again.
+Green Roc Aw sorry about the melt down! But those tips are good! I mentioned this in a video before, :)!
I just found you last week and I've known I had autism but I've watched like every video of yours and like everything you talk about I'm just like "thats like meeeeee" I'm so happy I found your channel too so I can give my friend these links to here so he understands about it, in other words thanks alot
Hey awesome! Welcome to the channel :D!
You are a freaking LIFESAVER, man! You've earned yourself a new sub!
Hey!! Aw thank you!! And you earned yourself a new buddy! 🔥
The Aspie World :D
Thanks for the tips, am heading to England soon
Hey no problem! Enjoy your trip!
I'm planning on travelling by myself soon, and I have Aspergers. I am quite worried, but I don't want my Aspergers and anxiety stopping me haha
I am the same, I don’t travel alone it’s very triggering and hard to understand / confusing for me.
I thought I was the only one so organized when I travel (I should say obsessive when it's about organizations) then I discovered to be Aspie and everything became so clear an I felt less lonely too. 💗 Thanx for your videos!
+Eva Mercedesz Henger Hey no problem! Thank you for the comment :)!
Thanks for the hacks :)
Sadly I can't look at screens or things whilst on journeys as I get car sick, so I have to do the music thing and I have to look through the front window and lean myself to the side if I'm in the back to look through the front window or sometimes if the scenery isn't too close I can look out the side windows. I get dizzy and disorientated very easily so I have to do slow calm movements or I'll get sick.
Definitly giving yourself loads of extra time really helps for sure!
Great video thank you:)
Ah man that sucks. Hey no problem, thanks for the comment!
I like your video I go to Mexico city yearly and being with family and I go places that I have been before or never been there
Oh cool, well maybe you can use some of my hacks to help your next journey :)!
Wow you did fabulously! I would never be able to endure it. Not only am I Aspie, but I also have PTSD and a TBI and all the wonderful perks they come with as well:/
Aw don’t worry!
I have been worried because I always get sick on planes. It happens because airline employees are too lazy to clean things up. Even airborne isn’t effective enough for me. But other than that I love air travel LOL
Yeah? I get super nervous going on planes but I enjoy it when I am on them :).
The Aspie World I’m just worried about getting sick again. But other than that yeah I enjoy it
I love air travel so much as well everything on a way -taking off the plane ,landing not scared of that for some reasons ;)
I have a pair of anti-glare night glasses I like to wear over my regular glasses to help with night driving. Headlights give me a headache.
That’s awesome!
Safe travels, friend. I hope you enjoy Season 2!
Thank you!!!
Nice video man
+Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Hey Thank you!
Dont know how u do it x ur a superhero cant travel on anything x cant go walkin away with my side kick ... my son but i feel like hes the adult n im the child get upset how much support i need from my teenage son xx ( its cakemix btw)
Hey, it is a massive stress but I have to do it :/!
Hi I have autism and adhd ☺ (love your vids)
+KVBB Hey!! That’s awesome thank you!
The Aspie World 😊
I have a very different way of coping. I have more of a me vs it ( asd) way of thinking. Not doing something is not an option, if I'm having issues, I do it anyways almost to punish it. This may not the healthiest way, but it's how I survive, I would just rather go through my day no matter how I feel than to let it win, that would bother me the most. But I realize it's hard on the body.
This was interesting to watch :)
✌🏼
I still have nightmares (literally, but much worse and pretty twisted!!) about my travel back home from my year of study in Japan... I almost missed my planes because I want to be just on time and I get late very often. I had trouble with my luggage, things I wanted to bring and then again things I bought out there. That travel to Japan, the life in Japan, and the travel back home were so hard for me... I struggled really hard, and now I know that may be because I might have ASD but no way of knowing yet! That was a very good experience but with my problems I wasn't able to enjoy it at its full potential...
Oh and the same when I had to go to Paris with my car for the first time! And of course my car had to break down! Fortunately, I had friends who helped me out!
Ah that’s not good.
Please make a video on difficulties in school and autism or autism and addiction
Ok!!! I did one before, but it needs an updated video. th-cam.com/video/1nLZtQT6QmE/w-d-xo.html
Thankyou! This has been something I've struggled with a long time, thankyou for your response! I want to go back to college but I'm worried I'll fall off again from the anxiety. Was thinking of just taking it slow one class at a time, would love more advice on College if you could o just thing that helped you get through school
Thankyou so much for your contributions. The more i watch.. the less of an alien i feel :)
Hey that is awesome! You are welcome for the videos :D!
Hey Dan my boyfriend really wants to help me when I'm having a meltdown but I'm not sure what to tell him. Can you make a video that can give advice for partners of people with aspergers. Maybe even have Naomi give her input too? Thanks and I love your videos :)
Abby
+tigerab1997 Hey Abby! Thanks for the comment. Hmm I want to do a video on this but just trying to figure out how to do it. I will Ask for Nomi’s Help! Thanks for supporting my channel!
I try to arrive to my destination a day earlier than my planned events to give myself a chance to decompress and transition.
U look anxious right now xx luv ya aspieworld xx
+ratbog14 0000 Thank you! 😁⚡️
I like the tip where you make Pam from Google spend nearly £200 on getting me from the isle of Wight to Holyhead to pick you up and take you to London.
+Alex Watts Haha, all that is yet to come
how great tips you get. Hope have a good day! ;)
Hey thank you!
When traveling, how to deal with an environment where the stimuli are a lot in number to cause those with autism to become overwhelmed too easily?
anxiety affects me alot for sure, definitely when traveling especially to places I don't know. if I am going somewhere and drivinh I make sure my gps is charged fully, plus I have my charger, and phones charged fully with charger too, even so I'm very very anxious so any problems happen during travel...it's problematic
Oh yeah, I feel you there. I have a sat nav and my phone as a back up!
Imagine flying to India with autism. That's what I'm doing in two weeks! Then I have to stay at an ayurvedic clinic for five weeks. No control over meals or anything else.
Oh wow! That wouldn't go well for me :P.
RedRock Asrama Nor well for me, neither.
there is this really good tv show on sky living about a doctor with autism(not real life), called a good doctor.
+the teen art channel I have heard so much about it! I haven’t seen it as I don’t watch TV
the teen art channel IT’A AMAZING!!! Did you know it’s based on a Korean show? Check out the original Korean version. It’s so good. The Korean version did it better.
I only go to the airport or out for a day if my partner takes me and collects me. I have to be there 3 hours before a flight. It makes my family single me out for distain and ridicule.
Just watching this gave me anixety
Yeah 😩.
Too bad you won't take the train. Like I indicated in an earlier comment, I'm a railway type of guy. There would be less stress than driving a car because the trip is someone else's problem. Escape driving and the worries of having to deal with one's cars needs - parking and fuel, as well as possible flat t(y)ires, collisions, etc. People don't own cars, cars own people. It is easy to get up on a train and move around. You had mentioned, if I remember, that you did not like the noise or movement of people in a train. In automobile traffic, there is noise and people are moving around. In U.S. passenger rail there are "quiet cars." Would this work for you? The best way is to bring work and be very busy, so you don't think about the trip and things are accomplished.
As far as dressing, I often wear BFDs or BattleFieldDress pants. The military conducted a lot research into creating clothes which are comfortable, rugged and have substantial pocket room. While they come in camouflage patters, they also come in solids in black, brown, green and grey. There are substantial pockets located on the outsides of the legs which don't interfere with sitting or walking, and close securely by buttoning. One interesting thing about these pants, the fly is buttoned. There aren't zippers on military clothes, because they tend to fail, especially in a dirty environment.
+Lewis Doherty Well I am not a fan of trains up until now, but I have never been in first class and I will be in a few weeks, so maybe my perceptions will change.
You may wish to try a rail trip and see how it works. If you find certain people irritating, remember you can move to another area. Keep in mind, numerous people travel this way all of the time and nothing bad happens to them. This also reduces stress that any problems, breakdowns, etcetera are someone else's problems. Your car isn't a potental liability in London or on the road somewhere. You have eliminated that problem. The railway staff has to get you there. They, not you, have to deal with it. There is much less worry. Further, if you don't like to drive, it's not necessary to ask someone to drive you. And like I indicated, focus on doing work on the electronic devices on the train. Travel time shouldn't be wasted time. If you are concentrating on your work, you won't be thinking about things on the trip.
I have no problem with being driven in a car but I won't use public transport.
All journeys seem to stress me out.
Sorry to hear that, Dan, Happy New Year.
Last time I traveled, I dealt with it by listening to music and reading books.
+Otaku 58 That’s a good idea!
I have a lovely boyfriend at the other side of the country.. i travel mostly 5 to 6 hours by train since i cant even ride a biks so a car is not for me. Traveling feels like one long nightmare.. the noises, people, smells,train movements. Terrible. Tried everything from sunglasses to large hoodies to put my hands in so ppl dont see my stimming. Nothing really helps. Besides ppl like to point out to me i am acting weird... i almost dont dare to breath. So i always stand most of the time in the part of the train where there are no seats.. makes me even more tired but at least i wont bother ppl. Traveling is a hell for me and my autism. But since i love my boyfriend so much i will keep traveling every weekend and count myself 2 days lost and feeling sick. But at least in my boyfriends arms XD
Aw that is super dedication for love :)!
The Aspie World Haha Ty so much! I geuss it is😀 o btw, ty for the many great video's! I learned so much from you!☺
