Thank you so much for these videos I've recently been diagnosed at 30 in America. And there's not a lot of resources for Americans in this area and these videos have been a huge benefit my psychologist also really loved that I'm learning about my self and others like me from these videos and the fact that a lot of stuff does help me. Thank you sir for making these and helping everyone in the world by explaining in great detail in a understandable manner.
Just found this, but, I operate on "me" time, so I found this about 3 years before you uploaded it. Anyhow, you make a lot of great points, but, a big problem that I have is that I hyperfocus but am also pretty distractable. And tend to procrastinate. And forget things.
Hi Dan, with Christmas hurtling towards us like an out of control asteroid, I am getting absolutely terrified and REALLY REALLY anxious and irritable. Too much to do, too much pressure and too many demands on my time. I'm making lists and lists and seriously on the verge of a massive meltdown!!!!!!!
It fills me so much relief to see videos like this- I've always had horrible time management, or rather, I've always found it difficult and upsetting to try to cope with things at times. It's growing more stressful now as I'm doing my GCSES- and I of course need to revise- but I also end up getting home and crashing from mocks. Videos like this help me feel more legitimate in my difficulty- still waiting for Asperger's diagnosis, but either way- it's still relevant to me! 😊
I do I keep having this weird dream same dream every night .. of these people almost scary to me but I’ve grown a lil comfort with them but still scare me but I feel comfortable around them but when I wake up I can’t even describe what who or anything it upsets me
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch and everything on the wrist, even take telephone calls on the wrist. Lists, reminders, calendar, voice memos, timers. This thing is amazing, it helps me not overcook and burn food, tumble dryer. Works with Android and iOS. This has really helped me.
SaveMyTime is a very helpful app that makes you log in what you're doing every time you check your phone, and it compiles the data into a pie chart. Great to visualize where your time is going. Helps me notice if I'm spending too much time on my phone and not enough taking care of myself, socializing, or being productive.
An app that I have found super helpful is called Habitica. I struggle finding motivation or even remember to do the things I need to get done, and this app combines gaming and productivity. You have to be careful though, because it can also become a source of distraction, but it has been the only thing where I feel rewarded for completing tasks, and therefore, more likely to do them. You gain experience for working on habits, completing daily tasks (like remembering to take my vitamins), and working on a to-do list. You can join others to fight bosses if you want and have people to hold you accountable for your tasks or you can save up gold to buy pets. You can even add your own rewards if you want to work towards something. I highly recommend if you're into gaming. :)
I want to get into games but I never had a gMe system only game system I had is an Xbox 1 when I was younger but now that I’m older and really don’t want any friends at all but I do want friends but it’s very hard friends take up so much time and they can confuse me and they laugh at me so I. Get rid of them because they don’t understand me and I don’t understand them I want friends but it don’t work like that for me so I need to get into video games any suggestions on best video game to start with I could gooohle it myself but I’m trying to a good social person instead and I will google it afterwards in case your wondering and TH-cam too
I was thinking about a Nintendo Nintendo is clean company focuses on educational games sometimes too and has been around pretty long making it retro and I like the sound of that
@@wisdom-fairy3550 hey, just saw your comments. Sorry about the delayed reply. I love video games... You could call it one of my special interests. I think Nintendo is a really good one to start with. I don't really like shooter games, so I find Nintendo games are usually more my speed. I can't really recommend a game because I don't know what genres you like, but maybe something like Mario Odyessy?
You have a lot of good tips! I'm in the tattoo syndrome because I've been told I'm too impulsive so I try to hold back and now I ended up doing nothing instead. Trying to balance it but it's difficult. Thanks for sharing your tips :D
I was just diagnosed with High Functioning Level 1 Autism. Your videos have really helped me learn more about this disorder and how it affects me. Thank you so very much!!! Mary
Thank you for this video! Not only was it plenty of helpful advice it also contained some of the things I actually do for time management which made me feel like "oh it actually works I'm not tricking myself!" I'm not autistic but with adhd time management is still the bane of my existance.
Thanks Dan, I really needed that. Especially the bit about always being late. I never call in sick and I'm good at what I do, often staying late when I have my teeth into a tech problem, so it is tolerated - but I'd much rather be on time. My fiancé and I have a shared calendar and he's a big help in reminding me about important events too! Distractions are the thing that really drive me insane. Emails, instant messages, desk and mobile phones can all go off at once. We have a system where a problem should be logged, so my solution is to attend to what gets logged and emergencies then ignore the rest or I would be a basket case.
You should call in last week I had a really bad day where I just didn’t want to be touched by water seen y’all to anyone and my legs didn’t wanna be bothered I wouldn’t even eat I just wanted to lay in bed untouched unbothered I wouldn’t even talk i felt muted it was horrible I forced myself to get up Nd call the number I’m glad I did because they were glad I called and told me to get better soon you should call your job when you feeling sick I’m just trying to help
@@wisdom-fairy3550 thank you for caring. To be honest I rarely get (physically) sick and the routine of going to work is good for my state of mind. I really love my job and my colleagues, which also helps. Occasionally I have a run and hide day, but they are few and far between, and on those days I usually work from home (the kind of work I do allows for this). I'm sorry you had such a bad time that you felt like this, I hope it passed soon enough and you aren't troubled that way too often.
Lists are everything for me! And here is one cool tip I've learned: Since I'm easily distracted by my own thoughts, especially while reading and learning, I write down every single thing I wanted to do. Like oh I should check this on Amazon or oh I forgot to put milk in the fridge. I just write it down and do it later instead of doing it right away in the middle of the process. Another helpful thing is to tell myself, that I'm going to do something like cleaning my space just for ten minutes. So it's easy to start and usually I would do it longer than ten minutes. It's just like you said, a productivity snowball
I am distracted by my own thoughts too and at work I wish I had pens and paper beside me to write it down because if I don’t write it down and forget it the same feeling you get when you lose something but only hmmm what was I thinking about again and the process starts over and over and over again no lie everyday at work
Lists are a bit of a sticking point for me. I will try to make them at the start of some days but I list too many things and add too many branches/nested tasks. The making of the list itself becomes a long stressful task and if I finish it it looks too daunting to attempt. Adding time limits for things would make it even worse for me; I get bad anxiety about time limits, even if it's way more time than I would need to complete the task. And if I miss a time limit for a single thing I feel like the entire thing's wrecked and there's no point trying anymore. These are my own personal problems though (not a general problem with the suggestion of making lists) and something I'm working on, trying to list only up to five things at a time. Good video though and thanks for sharing. I've subscribed.
The app could rename "I cannot be distracted" to " Do not disturb me because I am working" or " I am not trying to be rude, but leave me alone right now."
I have to tell people this at work they wMt to talk and talk and talk and I must work and they get upset but they don’t understand if i start talking unlike them I don’t keep up I make big mistakes like marking things wrong and could get fired so I don’t talk
Thanks for your fab videos! Can you make a video and provide advice for colleagues / managers on how best to support adults on the spectrum in the private sector? What is best ways to making autistic peeps shine?
Thanks a lot for this video! I think I'll try some of your tips :) I am myself sooooo terribly bad with time management. The only time I am really on time is when I drive to work. I am ALWAYS on schedule. But every other time it's like really really really close. Whoops. Always stressed out when this happens. There are so many distractions at work... I am a trainee in media design (specialising web design, but also print) and therefore it's really hard not to get distracted by my boss or coworkers.. there's always something going on that needs to be done like RIGHT NOW and at best yesterday lol. So it's really hard to focus on my task, 'cause there's always another one coming right in or a phone call from a customer I need to answer. When this happens I struggle a lot with getting back on the actual task and so I need a LOT more time than I actually would have. So frustrating!
Tattoo syndrome lol so true! People put so much time and effort choosing and deciding on a tattoo. And when they know what they want, they just keep putting it off. Great video Dan keep up the great work. ✌🏼
Dear Aspie Could you please do a video on Aspies going to a mainstream school also how did you cope?pros and cons. Also did you struggle to tie your shoe laces and what about learning to tell time? Some tips on that for my son would be great.Thanx. Really enjoy you videos.
That’s my problem because I have done all these things to help. Problem being I just never do them. How does one just DO the things on the list you made? How do you DO the things you planned to do? How do you Do the things you know you need to do? What always happens is I just do a hundred other things that are a waste of time. I just watch videos all day instead of studying college. I’m just stuck.
Most of the time, I am a multi-tasker and I do complete assignments simultaneously as I absent-mindedly forget some of the materials as well as information to them. Thus, I need to focus a single task at a time.
At times I do procrastinate when completing assignments owing to the fact I far ahead than my peers in classes and therefore I deserve some time off. As of right now, I am planning to do some work tomorrow during Thanksgiving break!
I have aspergers, but I was just diagnosed, I spent my life being misdiagnosed and it is probably a very common situation, specially for women. When I was going through the assessment I was told I had Oppositional Defiant Disorder too, so it is very difficult to do some tasks, for example, if I was going to do the dishes anyway but someone tells me to do the dishes I just can't do it or at least I will wait as long as possible to do it, it is like that when someone tells me to read a certain book too, even if it was a book that I wanted to read I won't do it anymore, sometimes I wait for years to read or see something that was recommended to me when this happens. It was worst when I was a child, but now is like I split in two and fight with myself to do it. Does anyone have a problem with that too? And I don't know if this has any part on it, but if I set some tasks like that, listing or using an app, after I write something down I won't forget it anymore, so I keep checking and it makes me very anxious and I am not very good with apps so I think they will fail me and like that an appointment to have coffee with a friend becomes something stressful. I don't know anyone with aspergers, I don't know if that is common or not or if there is a better way to deal with that. Any tips?
The Aspie World My brother used to refuse to open his Christmas gifts until it was so late we couldn’t stay awake ! Or, he’d wait until Christmas was over. He always disliked the holidays. Not sure if he felt overwhelmed or what....
Hey man, can you make a video about how to chat and talk with your crush? It's... yeah, it's really hard for me. The first things I wrote her are: Hi, How are you, what are you doing?...".
It would be cool if you could talk about moving out and living on your own as an adult and stuff. I find it a real struggle for some reason so my life is pretty much a mess right now.
The Aspie World please do it would be nice because I’m 28 and I have never had a car or my own place I stay at. Hotel it’s easier to me but next year I want to move into a house
Any one here have problems with things not being to scale, my daughter is paying with a car that’s too big nest to the house she is playing with . An I’m rubbing my head and clutching my face a lot . As a child nothing left it’s box for me and it all had to be to scale or separate opposite sides of my room . Iv got over the a Christmas tree thing last year , I let my children decorate it , but it makes me twitch that things on it are not even or touching..., lol . I’m working on myself a lot .
Wow I thought I only did this it slows me down at work Nd I try not to do I throw things the paper that comes in the box on the floor on purpose Prople laugh but I do it because if not I really wanna line the paper up very neatly and I could get fired so I became the most sloppy worker so I won’t get myself fired .
I have really bad time management, that’s why I’m sitting here now doing a 1000 word essay (which the draft has to be submitted in 2 weeks) and parts of another project to do and that has to be finished by next week as well as finishing off my ucas personal statement
My daughter is 15 and has autism. I can hardly get her to go out of the house. Every time we go to go somewhere she gets physically sick. Any suggestions. we see all kinds of doctors but they really aren't any help. By the way she's very high-functioning.
Who is going to watch i'm a celebrity get me out of here tonight?🌜🌍🌏. My favourite part so far was when a girl from snake rock went into the viper pit and then a leaf fell on Holly and she got scared.
I'm not really a fan of the show, I watched the first couple of series when it was a relatively new concept but now they just seem to be constantly chucking it out year after year after year and I actually find it quite monotonous now. I might tune in once I've finished watching that nail in the fence going rusty 🤣🤣🤣
My problem is that I have way too much time on my hands and too much boredom. I have barely any structure. My counselor and I worked on a schedule but for some reason I stopped following it.
I can get distracted almost everytime and I still coplete tasks at hand, given to I am a multi-tasker. I try not to come off as a rude person, though it would not hurt if I had explained to someone that I have an important assignment due at a certain time.
@@TheAspieWorld the fact that you handle life so well inspires me. I'm in the military (plz don't judge, you and I probably agree more on politics than you could imagine). As you may also imagine... it's not exactly the most ideal place to work because of obvious reasons, but it's also really great for me because there are set rules, regulations, and instructions that are very black and white so I know exactly what to do, when, and where. That part is how I've thrived to rank up very quickly. Though of course, the camaraderie thing, I'm definitely not the best at. I've got ADHD and social anxiety, both diagnosed by military doctors and I'm not necessarily "pursuing" a diagnosis of autism, but everyone who knows me knows I'm at least on the spectrum and it would be a really cool thing to be able to explain why I'm the way I am. You rock.
I had the same thing hPen to me I like routine and sometimes when I don’t do the same thing at the same time that I have wrote it for I feel like everything else is gonna go really bad later on sometimes it does it’s like a feeling you get for me it’s best to do it the sMe keep it the same I get very angry when my job writes no Nd then changes it’s very stressful I can do it very good but when they change the rules I just can’t

This was a video that I desperately needed. I always have horrible anxiety about being late to school. Thank you for the great advice!
Hey you are welcome!!
I hate when I lay in bed at 10pm and Get a super good idea and then forget it when wake up
Ah yes, keep a note pad by your bed.
The Aspie World that is a good idea
I do I keep having this weird dream same dream every night .. of these people almost scary to me but I’ve grown a lil comfort with them but still scare me but I feel comfortable around them but when I wake up I can’t even describe what who or anything it upsets me
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch and everything on the wrist, even take telephone calls on the wrist. Lists, reminders, calendar, voice memos, timers. This thing is amazing, it helps me not overcook and burn food, tumble dryer. Works with Android and iOS. This has really helped me.

watching this instead of studying is the best way of time management
Oh my God! This helped me so much! Thank you! I have always been concerned about time management for a while
Hey that’s awesome!! Glad to help!

I would be utterly lost without my phone's reminders and note pad.
I set the reminders 1day, 1hr and 15mins ahead 😅
Rowan heck yes!!

You have to be careful though, because it can also become a source of distraction, but it has been the only thing where I feel rewarded for completing tasks, and therefore, more likely to do them.

Could you please do a video on Aspies going to a mainstream school also how did you cope?pros and cons. Also did you struggle to tie your shoe laces and what about learning to tell time? Some tips on that for my son would be great.Thanx. Really enjoy you videos.
Oh I like the idea of a school video!! I will do that!
I’m afraid I don’t have any other advice/plans; I have done any of these but I wish I did them in the first place. These are very good. 🙂🦋✨

I hate when I make a plan to do something at a certain time but then don't have the motivation
Motivation is another issues, maybe I’ll talk about that in a video!
I found writing list makes me feel anxious and i cant decide on where the best place to start is.
Prioritize your to do list so you get the things you feel you need to get done are high priority and everything comes second.
I need thissss
It is good to have a contingency plan when your actual plan is backfired on you!

Hi ! Love your videos ! I believe my older brother has aspbergers. I come here for insight. Wondering how do holidays affect you ?
The business and travel really can impact me.
The Aspie World My brother used to refuse to open his Christmas gifts until it was so late we couldn’t stay awake ! Or, he’d wait until Christmas was over. He always disliked the holidays. Not sure if he felt overwhelmed or what....
I'm here early... A bit too early.
Yay
why 11 people liked this I will never know... but thankx. this WAs the first comment on the video tho.
Hey man, can you make a video about how to chat and talk with your crush? It's... yeah, it's really hard for me. The first things I wrote her are: Hi, How are you, what are you doing?...".
That’s a good start. Not sure a dating video would go well on my channel though..
It would be cool if you could talk about moving out and living on your own as an adult and stuff. I find it a real struggle for some reason so my life is pretty much a mess right now.
Good idea! I will do
The Aspie World please do it would be nice because I’m 28 and I have never had a car or my own place I stay at. Hotel it’s easier to me but next year I want to move into a house
I do not know why, but you do have that bad boy image, Daniel! Have a bit of swagger there!
✌🏼
Any one here have problems with things not being to scale, my daughter is paying with a car that’s too big nest to the house she is playing with . An I’m rubbing my head and clutching my face a lot . As a child nothing left it’s box for me and it all had to be to scale or separate opposite sides of my room . Iv got over the a Christmas tree thing last year , I let my children decorate it , but it makes me twitch that things on it are not even or touching..., lol . I’m working on myself a lot .
Ah yes
Wow I thought I only did this it slows me down at work Nd I try not to do I throw things the paper that comes in the box on the floor on purpose Prople laugh but I do it because if not I really wanna line the paper up very neatly and I could get fired so I became the most sloppy worker so I won’t get myself fired .
How do I set a time for stim ???
Schedule it in
Whoop! I'm early. Ready to watch another great vid! :D
Krysta Cashen Thank you!
I have really bad time management, that’s why I’m sitting here now doing a 1000 word essay (which the draft has to be submitted in 2 weeks) and parts of another project to do and that has to be finished by next week as well as finishing off my ucas personal statement
Olivia Sephton ✌🏼
Got a 2000 critical analysis for Tuesday and barely started itha
I really need this right now. Im probably going to get kicked out of college tomorrow because i havent done my assignment
Oh no!!
My daughter is 15 and has autism. I can hardly get her to go out of the house. Every time we go to go somewhere she gets physically sick. Any suggestions. we see all kinds of doctors but they really aren't any help. By the way she's very high-functioning.
It can be challenging.
I really felt hit with the distraction part, because I was distracted with downloading an app from the part before... 😂
Haha - distractions are the worst!!
@@TheAspieWorld haha, yea 😂😂
I do all these things and I’m still always late and procrastinating lol
I assume that, given to your advice or relation, is reading one of your novels, speciallically Become the Force?
Yes!!
I'm Autistic and have Dislexa and have Ocd
Oh hey!!
Can you do a video on aspergers and leg pains I get a lot of them and they are so sore... I blame my aspergers 😂
Leg pain?
Yes and ankle pain I know it sounds stupid
For me to manage time i have like 20 watches and am always wearing one and i have 30 diffrent alarms for each day on my phone
Ahh!!
Who is going to watch i'm a celebrity get me out of here tonight?🌜🌍🌏. My favourite part so far was when a girl from snake rock went into the viper pit and then a leaf fell on Holly and she got scared.
Holly's reaction are going to be great that first bushtucker Holly was hilarious. Noel is coming in tomorrow and that is deffo gunna shake things up.
Ooh I’ll have to catch clips
It's getting juicy
I'm not really a fan of the show, I watched the first couple of series when it was a relatively new concept but now they just seem to be constantly chucking it out year after year after year and I actually find it quite monotonous now. I might tune in once I've finished watching that nail in the fence going rusty 🤣🤣🤣
My problem is that I have way too much time on my hands and too much boredom. I have barely any structure. My counselor and I worked on a schedule but for some reason I stopped following it.
Hellbound Iscariot you need to get busy :).
I can get distracted almost everytime and I still coplete tasks at hand, given to I am a multi-tasker. I try not to come off as a rude person, though it would not hurt if I had explained to someone that I have an important assignment due at a certain time.
✌🏼
I set reminders on my phone
Whoops I commented that before seeing you do it in the video!
🔥
@@TheAspieWorld the fact that you handle life so well inspires me. I'm in the military (plz don't judge, you and I probably agree more on politics than you could imagine). As you may also imagine... it's not exactly the most ideal place to work because of obvious reasons, but it's also really great for me because there are set rules, regulations, and instructions that are very black and white so I know exactly what to do, when, and where. That part is how I've thrived to rank up very quickly. Though of course, the camaraderie thing, I'm definitely not the best at. I've got ADHD and social anxiety, both diagnosed by military doctors and I'm not necessarily "pursuing" a diagnosis of autism, but everyone who knows me knows I'm at least on the spectrum and it would be a really cool thing to be able to explain why I'm the way I am. You rock.
@@TheAspieWorld also I'm a non-combatant if that matters. I did not vote for Trump.
What if you don't have iPhone or Mac Book, but you do have Samsung, and Dell ?
Its not just us Aspies that deal with all this....its the “normies” also LOVED the vid!🧡 my parents try 2 this all time especially my mom
Thank you!!
Dan I love you can you do a tour in England please I wan tot meet you
Scooter Mania15 yes I will be
I always have trouble finding the energy to complete tasks
I wake up at 6:50am every day and if i wake up at 7:30am my routine is disturbed and i am late for everything for the rest of the day.
Alice Wright-Dunstan I know that feeling.
I had the same thing hPen to me I like routine and sometimes when I don’t do the same thing at the same time that I have wrote it for I feel like everything else is gonna go really bad later on sometimes it does it’s like a feeling you get for me it’s best to do it the sMe keep it the same I get very angry when my job writes no Nd then changes it’s very stressful I can do it very good but when they change the rules I just can’t
I couldn't focus on your talk for some reason the background sound you put was taking my attention instead.
Ahh I’m sorry.
I had letters to hand in and if i didnt write it in my diary i would hand it in 1 to 2 weeks later than everybody else.
Alice Wright-Dunstan sounds like how I used to be.
My problem is actually starting a task.
That’s the ‘do it now’ part - don’t fall into tattoo syndrome.
The Aspie World I’m about to google what is tatoo syndrome because If I hear another person tell me just google it my head is literally gonna pop off
Can’t find no answer ? What is this tatoo syndrome you talk of ?
