Hi Karen and Claire, I applaud you for publicly talking about your diagnoses of autism. It has obviously contributed to your success and confidence. And it is such a healthy way to live. You both have great personalities, and you are generous to be on youtube. Your friends are lucky to have you in their lives!
When I was working I used a mini legal pad (5"x8") each week. One a week. Coworkers sometimes made fun of me, but they would come to me when they needed to know what was said ir done at a meeting... Personally, I use Field Notes notebooks (3"x5") for just about everything, they fit in a pocket. It has my to do lists, shopping list, bus schedule, books I want to get from the library, etc. My calendar is a 2 year calendar, checkbook size. Both of these fit in my back pocket.
It resonates so much that I question my difference. So recognizable with the notes everywhere, small talk, boundaries and expecting the same amount of effort. Very sincere and open. This is so valuable.
A couple of Karen's videos recently popped up in my feed, so, of course, I watched and subscribed. I am excited to see the two of you chatting together! Great episode!
I got myself a digital notebook which has been working quite well for me. I've converted all my written notes into it and ditched the paper. To boot it also duplicates all my notes to my phone, so I have my notes with me wherever I go. It has made my desk a little cleaner which is great. This is a great video Claire, so many relatable things.
@@shamidkpzdI join. Try to decide if I get the REMARKABLE II or wait for next new Kindle Scribe or see if there will be a combination of both in near future. I love the idea of handwritten notes that can be converted into perfect like-written-on-computer ones and that I can share them easily. That I will never loose one or don't now where I put it.
A big thanks to you (and your grandpa) for the 80% advice. It came as I was sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat, scrubbing my walls and kitchen appliances. I'm positive that neither my partner nor my dogs will notice. There were a LOT of relatable points in this video. I could go on and on about it with my own stories, but I won't. Thank you both for this.
Great conversation. Disclosing your autism is a real tricky game sometimes. Usually its safer to just not, since doing so tends to make people not take you seriously.
Thank you both! The topic of not wanting or being unable to express your true self really resonated. I had the same comments on my college papers, especially when I returned for an MA in my mid-40s! I had no idea what it meant to incorporate myself into what I wrote. (The concept of “self” was squashed by my narcissistic parent.) Up until last year’s self dx of autism, I feel like I lived as an observer. My first college degree was in journalism. It made sense to me at the time because of its objectivity. Also, the subject of work and workplace was so spot on. I now understand why I can usually get the interview but not the job. This has dogged me for nearly a decade. I’m in my 50s, so that, along with inherent ageism, is a pretty big barrier. Again, thank you 😊
Jen thank you for sharing. It really helps me to hear you had a similar experience with your papers. I always felt like I had nothing more to add in the paper if I didn’t literally discover some new information myself
I really appreciate these honest conversations and the ones who bravely have them with you Claire! Karen, I VERY much relate to your work experience and hearing your (and other spectrum folk) stories helped me let go of some bitterness against myself. That said, I too am a father of children and am the primary provider for them, so I still feel the weight of that, but letting go of the bitterness and having the awareness helps me navigate verses freeze. Thank you! This was a GREAT conversation across the board, but I don't want to overshare ;)
Hi Karen and Claire, thanks so much for this conversation! This podcast is the number 1 helpful resources I have to help me come to terms with my recent diagnosis. 💖
Thanks so much for this interview! The part about conversations and sharing appropriately really resonated. Your channel is one of the few I comment often with more than a few words because of decades of not doing it "right" and being afraid to mess it up - again. Good insights here to ponder.
This was such a powerful and relatable conversation. Thank you both. I love Karen's channel too! I was diagnosed AuDHD (also CPTSD) last year at age 54. The part about collecting degrees and certifications and the autistic 100%, and the notebooks and lists - yep yep yep. Sigh. I see you (from over here in Canada). xo AuDHD Lara
The relief after the diagnosis is what I also felt. And I thought all the years of silent struggles …could my life been different? No support for decades.
🥹The depth that both of You explored in this video is humbly understated: I resonate with all of it immensely. Thank you Claire and Karen for daring to create, share and explore together and as individuals. Loved this collaboration 😍💛
Thank you Claire and Karen for this podcast. What was really interesting for me was Karen mentioning a few times her FND and seizures as a result of this condition. I too manage this condition and associated seizures and it would be interesting to hear more about her experiences, if she were willing to talk about it in any future collaboration you both may have. The clinical psychologist that I saw about this told me that they see a high proportion of autistic people and often have to refer their clients on for autism assessment. I haven't seen any discussion on autism and FND and so hearing even a mention really made me pay attention. I have subscribed to Karen's channel and shall be looking to see if she has covered this there. It is an interesting and very relevant condition that not many people seem to know about. Thank you Karen for mentioning it. Great podcast Claire!
I think I could possibly only unmask (like come out I guess) after I get an official diagnosis and some of my Family members accept that diagnosis, because at the moment they do not, quite passionately. Just because they know 1 or 2 ASD-2 people, they think that they know more than what I do actually experiencing most of the symptoms. I expect negative feedback as well, though at the moment I only have a website with written articles, which is basically my journal to the world, and my mental health outlet.
I have been thinking a lot about being employed versus being a freelancer which are the to choices for me. I have realized more and more what it is that takes so much energy from you during a day. A lot of energy disappears just getting to work. The interaction with morning traffic, people etc. Then the work environment takes a lot. And the trip home. If you on top of that work for the sake of working most of the energy is gone when you get home and you have nothing or very little left for your spare time. My experience is that despite the hours and the side stuff you need to do as a freelancer. It still takes less of your energy than being employed and working for the sake of working. As a freelancer you have chosen the type of work. You cut out a lot of the daily influenses that steals energy from you. The only time i see employment as a possible thing is if you work with something that you are interested in and have an employer that cares. That takes care of you and gives you an work environment that helps you.
@@WoodshedTheory One thing i have been thinking a lot about regarding work is the commute part. I have always had issues with it and it takes a lot of my limited energy. Since i started hearing from others with Autism it seems to be a common thing.
Yeah it's like I'm not stupid, I'm pretty smart, but there's certain things that I just cannot understand, most relating around social situations. And after diagnosis, I've been a lot more forgiving on myself with things that happen. But after living 46 years without being diagnosed a lot of damage has already been done; most with x-wife and our Son. I've certainly failed at being a Father, and I can't change what happened, I can't fix the social deficits that I experienced with my own child, and the social anxiety that spans that. It's upsetting to say the least, and moving past it is difficult because I didn't know that I had these limitations. I just thought that I was a failure. I still failed, and I still have these social deficits. Things may very well continue as they have in the past. There's now a reason for it, but it doesn't change anything. I don't really know what to do with or think about that.
Hi Karen! Very relatable perspective here. Feeling your “standing” with people-even loved ones-fall the more you share of your autistic self. Also love you guys bringing up this important point: being autistic doesn’t mean you’re incapable of learning and adapting. Obvious to us, of course, but there’s just so much misinformation out there. Thank you for being part of the solution to that. I subbed btw!
i dont think i masked very well either just based on the way people have interaccted with me and also bcause i thnk back and compare to right now...i just feel so AWKWARD lol even more now
Sorry it took me so long to watch this. I started it and wasn't able to finish and then TH-cam didn't show it to me again until now and I forgot I hadn't finished watching it! Sorry. I don't want employment... I NEED employment so I can pay my bills and live... 😅 I have a lot of papers even at work... I have a problem with writing in a pretty notebook, like I can't make a mistake in a notebook... Thinking about it, part of not wanting to use notebooks is that I used to write everything down... including feelings. A friend hurt me and I wrote something like "they are so mean, I hate them hate them hate them!" in a notebook when I was in 6th grade. I kept the notebook in my desk under stuff. When I was off sick, that person went through my desk to apparently borrow my pencil crayons, which were standing up in a visible spot under my desk [technically we had a small under part of our desks and have to have separate baskets for more stuff... notebook was in the basket under stuff, the box of 64 pencils was standing up under my desk in a very visible spot... there was NO NEED for her to go through my stuff]... anyway, so read my notebook and was upset by it. My teacher made me appologise to her when I came back in for writing such mean things in my notebook. My objections that: the pencil crayons were in a different spot and visible, SHE READ MY PRIVATE NOTEBOOK, and the fact I wrote it in response to her and another girl making fun of me for still liking Barbie dolls were not valid. I was mean. I was at fault. I had to apologise... I stopped writing things down and just kept it inside instead. Which is probably why I started just bursting out in tears in high school... I plan and plan and plan and never get around to doing the plan... partly because I'm worried I'm not good enough to complete the plan... (especially for sewing and crafting projects, I spend so much time planning how it should be done, how I could do the thing... then worry I don't have the abilities needed and don't start.) My job is in a library doing cataloguing.... putting book/dvd/cd/game/etc info into the computer system. I'm only working 21 hours a week in a back office in the library. Coworkers can be nice... or mean.... or annoying... I feel like an outsider... part-timers don't seem to count for much. Anyway, people always told me "you need a REAL job"... "You NEED full time" Makes me feel like I'm failing life for not having a full time job. (or a husband and kids...). People make me feel like it's not enough. I was pressured into taking a public service supervisor position at the library... but begged for my old job back after 1.5 months of the 3 month probation... I was a mess and close to burnout (for many reasons...not going to go into it)... I make just enough to pay the bills, but don't have much disposable income... but have come to the realisation since suspecting I'm autistic...is that I don't think I can work full-time long term and not burn out. 🙁 Way too much oversharing... sorry.

@@WoodshedTheory This was a good episode of your podcast, I just didn't have the spoons to type words that day!! Sometimes an emoji is all I can do. I hope youtube count it as a whole comment 💚
10:57 it's not about you. It's about them. They don't hate you they just don't know what to do with the information and they don't think about it the way that you are. That's all. The ones who find out and then treat you really badly afterwards like oh you're autistic and act like a crazy person towards you after that are few and far in between because nobody does that unless they're already mentally unstable. I keep hearing from the left-leaning people this same kind of trust issues mistake. You don't need to trust people with your whole life's details because not everyone is equipped to handle the information. Its just misconceptions. Peoples preconceived notions. You telling them is why 12:16 they wanted to be helpful towards you and the special needs you told those people about. Not everyones able to get all of this at once unless their looking on and really watching other people as we/you did/do it seems. Looking for information is trusting others. Not very many are looking into these things. Dont be resentful about that/it be greatful that you're able to help others. ❤️
So sorry Claire, had to interrupt the horrible advideo german YT decided to show me before: a german conservative housewife starting "my husband and I started to have more and more problems in our marriage, blablabla..." How did Your videos let them think THIS is a good idea???? Same when they show me ads for ham or cheese before my vegan videos🤔 Will let it run later on silent with all the ads for You but hell***, had to rant a bit. YT, You were able to "diagnose" me with Your algorythm but fail so bad with the ads?
I'm sorry to hear this - I wish there was something I could do. I have also had this happen to me where I'm like, how did you think I would want this ad? But please don't feel bad about skipping them if they are not for you.
Thank you Claire for having me on. It was great chatting with you!
