Apparently, the first time taking stimulant medication can be that way for those with ADHD. Sadly, tolerance develops, and while it continues to be better than nothing, it’s not THAT great anymore. 🫤
😂 I loved Winnie-the-Pooh growing up, still do. I never realized how logically I interpreted it until now. I never realized Piglet wore a jumper either. Being stuffed animals come to life I just assumed his body had been made by different fabric for whatever reason. I always thought he was naked like Rabbit and Tigger 😂😂😂
I related to a bunch of these but laughed out loud at the shower meme. I was watching this video procrastinating taking a shower. 😂 Still procrastinating. Thanks for the video!
I started watching your videos as they provided valuable perspectives during my recent diagnostic journey, so firstly, thank you! Secondly, your voice has always sounded so familiar and it suddenly hit me today - it's Prof. Brian Cox! Maybe you've heard that lots already...apologies if it's old news. But If you ever feel like saying 'the vastness of the universe is mind-boggling' - or something equally Prof Cox-esque that would be awesome.
About losing things because you either just set them down somewhere and forgpt or forgot the special place where you put them, I was ecstatic when I found out the the find-your-phone on my laptop will actually help me find my phone wherever I left it in my house, not just at some vague place I might have left it out in the world at large. Also, about the "I don't want to shower" meme, that is exactly how I feel about bathing. I don't do showers anymore, mainly because of not liking to be behind a curtain, with water running so I can't hear what's going on outside of the curtain, so I bathe sitting down in the tub now. If I'm not planning on going somewhere for a few days, I will put off bathing with the I-don't-want-to-take-a- bath chant for a couple of days, then go ahead with my bath, then have a hard time making myself get back out because it's so safe and warm, and helps my joints pain so much.
If you deal with neurotypicals on a daily basis. The bullying, the gossiping, the ostracizing, the ableism, the discrimination . . . Pat yourself on the back. You deal with the worst.
I feel like there are some areas where that pops up more than others. Certain (feels like most) corporate jobs/companies value a certain kind of cattiness (I hate that word. For some reason it feels like it’s exclusively feminine and that’s not the connotation I want, if someone has a better word please let me know) and backstabbing. Things have always been better for me when working for smaller businesses. I’m doing volunteer work at a farm to learn animal husbandry and how to grow my own food and be more self reliant and I’ve never been happier. The management is questionable by NT standards, but for the most part it’s because most people there are ADHD and/or autistic in some way. So the kind of communication that happens is generally lateral. “Hey, I notice on days when you work the quail waters often are empty the next day. Just letting you know so no one is upset with you later.” “Oh! Okay. I’ll refill when the water is 75% rather than 50% then. Thanks!” And that’s it. And it works. There are some areas where communication could be better in terms of what has changed, but overall it’s very nice. Corporate environments that I have been in don’t do that. Maybe we just do better when we work with each other and it’s not a ‘small business’ thing. Idk. Part of me also thinks that we find more neurodivergent elders who own small businesses compared to the rest of the population. If anyone has thoughts I’d like to hear them.
@@alexandranorris1763 That's a great insight, it feels to me that the example you used re:water refills. We perhaps see an issue or potential issue, alert those concerned and it's done with.

Since bullies ruin lives and manipulate people to get you fired if you’re autistic, I would like less bullies in my life. They make my life a living hell. I don’t suffer from autism. I suffer from ableism
I had a great-uncle that decided he didn't like being around people, and permanently moved into the woods. His sister would bring him groceries, phone messages, and mail at agreed upon times (so he didn't have to go into town). It was a solid plan.
saying bullies are a good thing is like those people who say "I was beat by my parents as a kid and I turned out just fine!" did you though? did ya?!? 🤨 Edit: I feel for the "we are like a family" BS That meant they expected us to work as if we had a share in the business while their actually lazy family just sat around collecting a paycheque 🙄
My partner who works in IT worked at a job where overtime where quite normal in the end of a sprint (its was every fucking sprint *sigh*) but the company gave dinner and they where free to choose, so they ALWAYS chose the MOST expensive place to get Burgers or Thai food or Sushi lol 😂 He got a lot of nice foods there, but luckily he found another job after 2 years of constant overworking.. "Its part of the job description, that's why the salary is so high" explain to me why he got so much more at his now 3'rd job where, yes he can overwork, but seriously nobody does unless its a bug that breaks the whole system.. People, promise me to have some self respect, and value your own time. Don't be as loyal as my golden retriever energy partner, he had to learn the hard way and where on the brink of stopping work completely due to stress.. Yes overtime can be necessary, but not every week or every other week. Say no, lie, i don't care how you get out of it but don't overwork yourself constantly just because the job asks you to.
My mom was happy i got my other diagnosis removed, but she was worried about the Autism label, she constantly said in the beginning that "oh but labels aren't helpful" and "The label doesn't define you".. Well in Denmark we have free healthcare, but if i am to get help with my Autism i NEED the diagnosis or there is no help.. We have a great welfare system that helps people who cant work too, again here i actually NEEDED the diagnosis to help my case, otherwise i would have been asked to work small hours, something that we had found out by trying it out for 2 years, was unfortunately draining me too much. Today my mom uses the label, she found its easier to say "oh my daughter has Autism, she is so intelligent, but the energy just isn't there" instead of explaining that i cant work due to mental and physical health reasons that are beyond her comprehension. She also accepts how Im feeling even though she cant understand it :) So the label does work, it just needs time
The internet ate my comment. In regards to the brain dopamine and serotonin machine being broke, it reminded me of my friend, that during a mathematics exam she burst out into song. She sung: The Internet is for Porn. Realized she sung it out loud, she just giggled and smiled and continued her exam, but her brain would not let the song go. Her brain kept up the entire exam. She has such a charming personality to be able to do that. No idea what the other exam classmates felt our thought of her little serenade. As for BG3, I love rangers and druids. I tried to start a dark urges campaign, with Asterion. I could not take it and gave up by the time I got to the Druid Enclave. One of my first obsessive interests was Winnie the Pooh and I have a little collection of plushies, books in English and Danish. I had a bigger collection before I moved form the US to the EU.
We have a cheery (slightly manic) answerphone message my daughter recorded ages ago: "Hello, you've reached the sprite that lives in our telephone. There's nobody who can answer your call right now, but please _do_ leave a message, because I love to pass them on!" My reasoning (when I'm in) is, if they can't be bothered to leave a message I'm definitely not going to answer; if they do I'll consider it. Every week or two we'll check the messages to see if there's anything important.
11:00- So far, everyone I tell that I am autistic is basically like, “Oh, okay.”. Apparently, my self-assessment that it is NOT, in fact, subtle, and I do NOT, in fact, mask much, was correct! 😅
I only recently realized how many people I probably freaked out in high school because I was told that not making eye contact is rude. So I was just over here basically staring people down in the hallways while smiling to show I'm friendly. I probably looked like I should have been in that Smile movie 🤦🏼♀️
19:05 How to Create Life-long Trauma in Your Autistic Child. Congratulations! You have now successfully conditioned your child in to NEVER starting ANYTHING in fear of someone else coming to destroy all their work!
25:42 It also went the other way around. My parents were being told I was low functioning when being diagnosed at a young age, because I made no eye contact. In reality I’m closer to being low support needs.
A meme trying to make the case that bullying is a good thing? What the?! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. I think my favorite was "Imagine all the people" LOL
12:04 The deluminator. Yeah, nice invention. In your own home, something like Google or Apple “Home” can do that … and I guess there are others as well.
I literally have a file on my computer named WHERE IS so I can find stuff. I also tethered my keys to my purse. I still end up wandering around the house looking for stuff.
Yes to the key tether! and a second set of keys for when I don't want to take my every day bag so I don't remove them.... But my building won't give me a second swipey thing for the front gate (one per person limit because shenanigans) so that disrupts my plans. Like I would give a swipey thing to a stranger when I need all of them myself. On the other hand, I would give out several to friends as backup for when I inevitably lock myself out. but my friends are solid. But as I do not trust my neighbor's friends I guess the policy is logical **grumble**.
1:58 I was actually the autistic kid who lived two doors down from the elementary school bully and became good friends with him. It wasn't an entirely healthy relationship, but it did prevent me from being physically bullied. But, by the standards by which this video is judging things, society started going downhill a couple decades before anti-bullying campaigns took off.
22:32 "What is the polite word for an autistic person?" "Whatever fits grammatically and statistically in the sentence you're trying to construct. Any time there's language police, we fall afoul of them, so please, don't even try to worry about it."
The efficacy of Anti-Bullying campaigns depend on the school. My oldest is Non-verbal, 10 yrs old, was at the school designated by the county as the "Special Ed" school. He was being bullied everyday, actively encouraged by the teacher who didnt want him in her class. (No, we dont have a lawsuit, though I have the evidence to prove the school knew about it for months and never informed any of us. ) He is now at the same school as his little brother, and although it isnt the actual EC (Extra-Curricular) school, it is actually becoming known throughout the community as the "EC Friendly" school. This new school has an entirely different feel about it, and it feels good. There is a new teacher that started picking on my son, and the other students in the class put a stop to it. I am really liking this school. The anti-bullying campaign is working at this school. So, as I began with, the efficacy of the Anti-Bullying campaign depends on the school.
3:32 ooooh boy no no no, that is NOT an accomplishment. That is more like "a lot of punishments were doled out to stop those autistic traits". That one gave me pretty bad anxiety. My heart's still racing from that one.
5:21 It's funny. I'm actually a fairly unusual autist in that anxiety tends to cause me to seek out (known safe) people (with a much lower threshold for "known safe" if it's not social anxiety).
Unfortunately sometimes a text or an email simply won't do - like in case of emergency. I used to struggle incredibly with phonecalls, but through practice things have gotten easier for me (though it'll never be effortless)
Why do you need a label /diagnosis anyway? Just smile more and everything will turn out fine eventually. -Last words of people I don't bother to stay in contact with
Oh, man, that video game one... ALL the time!! Even when I want to try a Rude playthrough, I'm always too chicken to try. And then there was the time I played Assassin's Creed Origins and accidentally killed the cats and I cried. Seriously, video games don't make anyone violent. If anything, I've learned just how sensitive I actually am lol.
i don’t cheer bullying culture, but neither do i cheer victimhood culture. banter and roasting is the way imo, because it’s making people discover and accept their imperfections. if we only cheer for the youths righteous behaviors, their self-image will be brittle and they will struggle when faced with adversity. accepting our flaws builds character, demonizing our flaws tear us down.
Fun house, it’s a whole lot of fun, prizes to be won. It’s a real wacky show where anything can go. Correct, the shower meme is not funny. I actually cried the first time I saw it as it perfectly explained my issues with showering and meant that it wasn’t just me.
Apparently, it’s possible to wash pretty well without ever getting in the shower. Hair, face, armpits, and hands can be washed in the sink; baby wipes do a pretty good job on the privates (this IS their intended function, after all) (ADHD DLC!); a footbath is totally a thing; there, you can probably get away with only taking a full shower weekly! 👍
23:22 I never understood that. What connects autism awareness with national flag of Mauritius? Maybe designers are just proud patriots of their country (for those, who don’t know - here’s flag of Mauritius -> 🇲🇺
I have been tempted for a while now to make a voicemail message along the lines of "Those who actually know me do not leave messages." as it is otherwise blank as I never set one up. But since only the GP does... I wonder if it would change anything. >.>
Look up weighted blankets and other items, the science is not solid yet, the "roller thingy" is a variation of this pressure item that seems to help some touch sensitive people. I even think we have videos and ideas floating around, that you need to hug us tightly to make things better, except we are all different so hard hugs doesn't work for most of us. You are dangling on the edge of talking bad about glasses because you have perfect vision and don't see the need. Touch sensitivity is not that you can't handle touch, you have those that need touch and those that need to avoid. Just like some of us need to smell farts and some of us throw up over it.
🤔 🐱 We think the “Poo” tier deserves to be at the top as prolific gassiness rises. So bad it deserves to go above one. Sigh, it appears there will be no votes in favour.
Viscerally upset about the post suggesting that a child lining up their toys is disordered behavior and you should just keep thwarting them in their aims/enjoyment ☹️ HHHATE
So you better get ad bucks for this vid - I was washing dishes and one of those, “I’m a doctor and I’ll tell you the secret for (fixing/curing/reducing) X, if you just stick with me” ads came on. So I let it run, because doing dishes, but 20 minutes later that ‘doctor’ (who was not like those social influencers who don’t have medical degrees, I’ll have you know) did manage to tell me about their self-medically tested cream (as you know that is the scientific method all cool docs use: make cream, test on self, yes is good! Sell! Miracle cure accomplished!), but had not managed to finish talking about the horrors of - dark spots - and so I had to turn it off. Still, at the very least you are getting this comment, which will hopefully help boost the vid. Also, well listening I couldn’t help thinking in a world without autism there would not only be a noticeable lack of interesting collections, but I also imagine the section of the store with miracle creams, like the one I ‘learned’ about would be just as large, but hopelessly disorganized. In fact, would the store even have sections? Products definitely wouldn’t be in lines. Perhaps we would just throw them all in the bin.
They totally destroyed my love for puzzle pieces 🧩 they stole puzzle pieces I have loved puzzles pieces my whole life until I got my autism diagnosis and they destroyed it

I feel like there are some areas where that pops up more than others. Certain (feels like most) corporate jobs/companies value a certain kind of cattiness (I hate that word. For some reason it feels like it’s exclusively feminine and that’s not the connotation I want, if someone has a better word please let me know) and backstabbing.
Things have always been better for me when working for smaller businesses.
I’m doing volunteer work at a farm to learn animal husbandry and how to grow my own food and be more self reliant and I’ve never been happier. The management is questionable by NT standards, but for the most part it’s because most people there are ADHD and/or autistic in some way. So the kind of communication that happens is generally lateral. “Hey, I notice on days when you work the quail waters often are empty the next day. Just letting you know so no one is upset with you later.” “Oh! Okay. I’ll refill when the water is 75% rather than 50% then. Thanks!”
And that’s it.
And it works. There are some areas where communication could be better in terms of what has changed, but overall it’s very nice.

My brother always says he would like to eat “space food” like all required sustainable in pill form 😅
Oooooh I'm trying to durge right now as well, it's really difficult 👀
My favorite class combination is either Rogue Fighter or Sorlock 🙂
Soradin here! 🧙♂️ 🛡️
Oh, man, that video game one... ALL the time!! Even when I want to try a Rude playthrough, I'm always too chicken to try. And then there was the time I played Assassin's Creed Origins and accidentally killed the cats and I cried. Seriously, video games don't make anyone violent. If anything, I've learned just how sensitive I actually am lol.
i don’t cheer bullying culture, but neither do i cheer victimhood culture. banter and roasting is the way imo, because it’s making people discover and accept their imperfections. if we only cheer for the youths righteous behaviors, their self-image will be brittle and they will struggle when faced with adversity. accepting our flaws builds character, demonizing our flaws tear us down.
0:12 I already perished
Fun house, it’s a whole lot of fun, prizes to be won.
It’s a real wacky show where anything can go.
Correct, the shower meme is not funny. I actually cried the first time I saw it as it perfectly explained my issues with showering and meant that it wasn’t just me.
Apparently, it’s possible to wash pretty well without ever getting in the shower. Hair, face, armpits, and hands can be washed in the sink; baby wipes do a pretty good job on the privates (this IS their intended function, after all) (ADHD DLC!); a footbath is totally a thing; there, you can probably get away with only taking a full shower weekly! 👍
23:22 I never understood that. What connects autism awareness with national flag of Mauritius? Maybe designers are just proud patriots of their country (for those, who don’t know - here’s flag of Mauritius -> 🇲🇺
8:10 that happens to me but I don't have ADHD, just autism.
Can't stop thinking about Piglet now.
FRICK YOU i got the a-u-t-i-s-m autism song stuck in my head now 😭 /lighthearted
9:00 😂😂😂😂😂 all the time!!!
I have been tempted for a while now to make a voicemail message along the lines of "Those who actually know me do not leave messages." as it is otherwise blank as I never set one up. But since only the GP does... I wonder if it would change anything. >.>
Oh hey, the Lawtism car! 🤣
Can I please have some advice on how to start a fish family with one live fish? Thanks. I enjoyed the video. Rob
20:26 - greatly exaggerated, perhaps, but untrue? 😆❤
21:50 the device must must be for improving yourself as steam, in which case the steam is the user.
5:29 Oh, hey! I'm on year 8 of my 3 year retreat into the woods, so where does that put me? 😁 I will not go back! They can't make me. ☺️
I literally just misplaced my water bottle this hits too close to home!
@@ryutak777 nooooo, Ryu! I hope you find it soon!
@Autistic_AF I hope so too
So, so true, laundry comment
Yeah, I have RSD. I'm sorry. I'll go.
🤣
Look up weighted blankets and other items, the science is not solid yet, the "roller thingy" is a variation of this pressure item that seems to help some touch sensitive people.
I even think we have videos and ideas floating around, that you need to hug us tightly to make things better, except we are all different so hard hugs doesn't work for most of us. You are dangling on the edge of talking bad about glasses because you have perfect vision and don't see the need.
Touch sensitivity is not that you can't handle touch, you have those that need touch and those that need to avoid. Just like some of us need to smell farts and some of us throw up over it.
wait, piglet is wearing a jumper?
Hey there 😂
👋👋
Can we please get a trauma dumpling comic strip/plushie/merch line/theatrical film?
Yessssssss 🙌
🤔 🐱 We think the “Poo” tier deserves to be at the top as prolific gassiness rises. So bad it deserves to go above one. Sigh, it appears there will be no votes in favour.
Sticky!!! 🤢
So over all of those t-shirts 🤮 It shouldn’t be so hard to find nice ones, but they’re out there.
Viscerally upset about the post suggesting that a child lining up their toys is disordered behavior and you should just keep thwarting them in their aims/enjoyment ☹️ HHHATE
So you better get ad bucks for this vid - I was washing dishes and one of those, “I’m a doctor and I’ll tell you the secret for (fixing/curing/reducing) X, if you just stick with me” ads came on. So I let it run, because doing dishes, but 20 minutes later that ‘doctor’ (who was not like those social influencers who don’t have medical degrees, I’ll have you know) did manage to tell me about their self-medically tested cream (as you know that is the scientific method all cool docs use: make cream, test on self, yes is good! Sell! Miracle cure accomplished!), but had not managed to finish talking about the horrors of - dark spots - and so I had to turn it off. Still, at the very least you are getting this comment, which will hopefully help boost the vid. Also, well listening I couldn’t help thinking in a world without autism there would not only be a noticeable lack of interesting collections, but I also imagine the section of the store with miracle creams, like the one I ‘learned’ about would be just as large, but hopelessly disorganized. In fact, would the store even have sections? Products definitely wouldn’t be in lines. Perhaps we would just throw them all in the bin.
They totally destroyed my love for puzzle pieces 🧩 they stole puzzle pieces I have loved puzzles pieces my whole life until I got my autism diagnosis and they destroyed it
