A big welcome into my life! I am a Dan a Welsh vlogger from the UK who has Aspergers Syndrome. Aspergers Syndrome or ASD is a form of Autism, often referred to as High Functioning Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder. I video every day of my life and upload videos for you to come along with me.
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 Aspegers Syndrome and just about anyone on the Autism Spectrum.
I am also in a band: www.straightjac...

*********************************
Short history on me
I was diagnosed with ASD (Asperger’s Syndrome) when I was 26 years old, after experiencing life with Autism that was unknown to me for 26 years.
Now I enjoy all things in life with my dog Randell and my girlfriend Naomi, we try and help and educate anyone and everyone on Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome however and wherever we can.
*********************************
I, too have Asperger's. I can't deal with strangers, especially when they used to sit next to me on buses (things I can no longer use as I don't feel confident on them).
Same
I have aspergers syndrome and am 14 years old. What i have learnt is if you try to control yourself, it takes time, but you can eventually go through with it. Somtimes when i get angry or upset, i scratch my head or hit the wall but thats as far as it goes. Ive learnt to control myself over the years, and its not that hard. Im at school regularly and i dont feel confortable there. Too many people, you know? Sometimes, i get really mad and frustrated without any reason, and it causes major outbursts. Neither my teacher nor my parents understand why. Ive tried to explain it, but they just dont get it. Life with aspergers is hard, and i feel the same way about it as you do...
+Mordi 69 It has it's hard times, but we are individuals with awesome input. So keep it positive and always do great things.
I'm an aspie too, and it was interesting to hear your quirks. Some are quite similar and some totally different from mine :) I can definitely relate to not wanting to be touched when frustrated or overwhelmed - I usually just need to be left alone to scream and have my meltdown. I also can't stand small talk or conversation without purpose. The thought of it drives me nuts! you should do a part 2! :)
Your advice about breathing techniques has really helped me! When I noticed everything was pushing my buttons I started to focus on my breathing for a minute and I calmed down :) meditating also really helps me and I strongly advice it to others with aspergers. It can be really hard to clear your mind but you can train that!
Recognising people, people who breath noisily, high body temperature, sleep and lack of it, lights, clocks, dogs barking inane talking. Some of my things
Big question: do you get physically/ emotionally affected by movies more intensely than others? Examples: suspense might make you anxious or excitement might make you feel like jumping for joy or bad guys make you angry?
Great! That was so helpful and good to know about those things that bother you. Thank you for making that. It helps make me much more aware of and sensitive to what my Aspie friends may be going through.
This has made me very happy I have aspergers and as a 12 year old it’s very hard the thing that i feel I thought where just me but after hearing you you have helped me so much and make me feel so better thanks
Definitly more videos on this haha.
I surprisingly have a very high tolerance to most things, there is only really a few things that really get me annoyed or upset and that's food hygiene and cross contamination with food, I CANNOT deal with that in any way. And disease and illnesses. Anything to do with that just affects me straight away and causes horrible feelings and emotions. Although I am bad for getting annoyed when people do things that are simple wrong haha.
Hello! Thank you very much for all of your videos - I have been finding them really helpful! I had a question (kept on popping into my mind while I was watching your videos) - you mentioned that you struggle with looking at people's faces. How do you find looking at the camera and how has that influenced how you take your videos? I was considering this because I struggle a little bit with eye contact and have been noting while watching your videos that I tend to look at the side of you instead of straight at you and so I thought about this (this is all a bit jumbled XD - but either way, it would be interesting to know why you choose to make your videos the way you make them? Thank you very much either way!)
yes for a part 2. Interesting about the sneezing and hiccoughing. My husband hates certain noises too, he can't stand loud chewing noises/people who chew with their mouth open and the other day a lady in the waiting room at the car dealership was typing on her phone and it was making sound effects every time she would type and he got so bothered by it that he had to get up and walk outside because he really wanted to jerk it out of her hand and smash it into the wall..haha! My daughter who isn't diagnosed but has quite a few traits of Autism, has a thing with words, not so much words she hates, but words she loves- the other day it was chimichanga. She said it about 100 times that day, constantly repeating it and ending phrases with it, because she said it was a fun word to say and it made her feel happy. :) Good video, thanks
I can understand your husband. That is interesting, maybe have her take the AQ test? I did a video on this in my ASD Help playlist that has a link to the test site, :).
I completely share your revulsion for chit chat and small talk. It's pointless, and I detest it. I also share the aversion to touch either from unfamiliar people or from familiar people when I get worked up about something. I have some significant sensory issues too. For work, I have turned the brightness on my computer monitors down to 5% of their total capacity to spare my eyes and keep headphones in listening to something to block external noise. Those have worked nicely for me in my environment. Nicely done! Keep up the great work.
Small talk annoys me too. And I'm not an Aspie. But I am an ADD mom of 2 toddlers (1 of them an Aspie), so needless to say, my time is very valuable and small talk is such a waste (unless of course it's a relationship that you wish to build). Even then, I prefer to dive deep fast, but unfortunately that's not the "social norm".
+Mattica Blue I have gotten scolded for either walking away, not engaging, or openly stating that I don't like small talk. Luckily, I have a very socially gregarious, non-Aspie partner who loves to handle this type of conversation for us and allows me either to retreat or to just be a silent observer until something interests me.
+Adam H Thank you, and thank you for sharing your comment, :).
I could not stand if people would complain about that life is not fair and why everything happens to me for what reason, which, in my opinion, is not for someone to state their life is more important than another and only deserves good and not bad. Life is not Disneyland and never will be.
I am convinced I had these traits, then I cleaned up my life thru raw vegan diet and spiritual practises. 100% Hard work and pattern changes, habits and clean eating will help US evolve to a happier state of loving.
That is interesting.
this vid was rly interesting, and it helped us lurn more about you as a person aswell as how asberges affects you and i do think its a good idea to do a part two. Also are you okay if ppl were to come up to u and say hi to u if their one of your subs?
Thank you, yes of course. Everyone is welcome to come and say hi if they see me out, :).
I don’t mind sitting next to people on busses but one time I fell asleep with a person next to me, I didn’t mean to, just nodded off. woke up and that person was still sitting there and loads of other seats were free around me, I think it was just me and that person on the bus. Checked my wallet and what not just in case, nothing stolen. Found it a little creepy to be honest.
My son has many similar traits to someone with aspergers but was diagnosed with a learning disability, anxiety and ADHD. That aside, I found what you said interesting at the beginning when you were talking about eye contact and recognizing people because my son has the same problem and he was diagnosed with prosopagnosia. It is a facial recognition disorder. Have you heard of it? It's quite interesting from what I've learned so far. My son recognizes people from memorizing their hair, sound of voice, tattoos, stuff like that. If people change their hair colour or shave off a beard he doesn't immediately recognize them. Just wondered if that is a possibility with you?
I can't look at someone when I talk to someone sometimes I can tho! Loud noises make me really mad like sudden noises! U know when someone drops a book on the floor! I have anxiety and when I'm about to have a meltdown I clench my fingers up! I don't like talking to random people that's like I don't like going anywhere by myself plz do a part 2! Thx I'm not the only one that has these problems! Thx AspieWorld
I find that I am more likely to recognize someone from a distance. Like their posture or how they walk. Maybe because I usually look at people peripherally. And I tend to get upset when I hear the words "squee" or "meh." Who knows why.
Could it be an Aspergers/autistic thing to not express your anger outwardly very often? You mentioned that things make you angry but I'm very passive.
There are words that enrage me too. Gourmet. Buffet.
Haha ⚡️
Oww yes part 2 would be great thanks.
awesome job fellow aspie!!
+Trombone Hero Thank you, :).
EXACTLY the same here
Oh my gosh...I have so many comments on this one! Where do I begin...
Maybe I'll spread them out for extra exposure.
Ok! Anger. When you get really hot and angry and feel like punching something...What DO you actually do? What are your calm down techniques/tools?
+Mattica Blue I am not too good at stopping lashes out, I still hit my head, but I feel a lot better after screaming out loud.
How does Asperger's Syndrome affect your sexual life and wellbeing. That is, if you're okay with sharing. I don't think I've heard anyone talk about that.
+DynamicDarren I was thinking about doing a video about this. It general it isn't an issue, but when I am having issues or an episode, then my interest in sexual attraction disappears.
The Aspie World that sounds like a good video topic
"You do not like me when I am angry," says the Hulk.
I have many friends and I could not tell if they are my friend or not. I could not remember their names in spite of having the same class together. They, on the other hand, remember my name because my name is Dywayne Johnson, which is similar to "The Rock" which is easier for them to know that.
I learned to look past peoples face like at the tardis on the self, it will then give the illusion Im looking at them. I still have a issue looking at people if I am not thinking about it.
+1mouse3 Yeah, intent to try and look at their shoulder or nose.
1mouse3 I don't wear my glasses, then people's faces are blurry and it makes looking at them easier
all of these are so me, my son has autism and i keep wanting to schedule an appointment to have myself evaluated but i'm not sure what it would help either way, but it would be nice to know once and for all that my quirks are there for a reason!
the ginger mommy diaries Did you ever go?
I could not guess correctly of someone's age, and if I ask, they may not choose not to respond, inasmuch that they may find that as offensive. (I would not say that to women because they are quite sensitive to their age, compared to men).
There are some people who's voice goes through me like a steel knife. I drive a lot for my job, and there's one call-in show host who pronounces the work "recognize" as "reckanize" Whenever he does this I find myself gripping the steering wheel and repeating "re-COG-nize, re-COG-nize". For some reason, mispronunciations really irk me.
+Carl L. Yeah some words can be so hard to hear!
I sort of missed the whistling sound in the background.
Thanks so much for this can u mention thinking black and white and feeling anxiety at stupid things like something changing for a day or suprise how do u cope I just want to cry is that a meltdown Soz I am only finding out stuff u are so helpful xx 😜
Strange, I will talk to strangers if they talk to me, but I often don't know how to say that I won't answer something that they asked, like if it's more personal to me. Anybody else have issues saying no? I just go like... um....
I have issues talking to strangers.
"Affect," not "effect." Some Aspies are compulsive about grammar, spelling, diction and syntax.
You are totally right!! I cannot believe I spelt this wrong! Thanks!
I hope you don't mind being corrected by a colonial.
Very good video 😊😊😊😊
You complained about people talking when it isn't necessary I sometimes talk because I am bored (even though I am not the best at talking)
Ah!
omg i have the same i often cant reconize faces ,even when i seem to have conversations with them i dont reconize them anymore so shamefull
Dan. Hot and bovered. Lulz. Omg. Me too. I have to take off my clothes too, which sucks if I'm in public. Cold also helps me too. I have to grab ice or walk outside when it's freezing.
This is why we are bff’s
The Aspie World I love the cold. Maybe if we lived closer we could have an ice fortress of solitude that cancelled out all the noise from the outside world.
But seriously. Y u copy me tho? 😂
I will copy you too I have always likes the could (when people wear jackets I wear short sleeves)
Hey there’s nothing going on with your hair
+Dodi the Tiger Haha thanks
There are some words that are over or poorly used that irritate me like the word "devastated." People are rambling on about this or that happening, and then they were "just devastated." It makes me feel like I should develop a weapon called the Devastator and let them really have it. You think you are devastated now, watch this.
Small talk often involves what the local sports teams are doing, which is something about which I could care less. Normally I mention that I don't really follow sports and when "the big game" is on TV, I find it is the best time to travel or conduct shopping because there are few people out and about. Of course I could spice the conversations up, "When the mindless masses are glued to their TV sets like crack addicts getting a fix, I am free to take advantage of the situation their diverted attention provides."
+Lewis Doherty If you don't mind my asking, does the unduly frequent usage of "like" as a vocal pause trouble you also? I find it does me very much so.
Yes. The other frequently used vocal pause is "you know." Vocal pauses are indicative of the need to buy time because the speaker hasn't thought through the ideas in whatever he is saying. So the listener is being subjected to something that is rambling because the speaker doesn't know where he is going or if he does, how to get there. The vocal pauses are not only irritating themselves as a waste of time, but they are bound up with talking that isn't going anywhere. So they create negative feelings in two ways.
Here is a question for you. I have aspergers too. Is your mind also so over active you can't sleep? and get panic attacks in your sleep when its hot?
V good mate!
Have any of your doctors noticed something different about you and if so how do you explain it to them?
Hey I am not sure what you mean?
+The Aspie World Do your doctors know you have Aspergers and if not how do you explain things if they are wondering what's wrong and not understanding you, like for instance not wanting to be touched or sensory overload, or needing things to be done a certain way? That would be a good topic for your next video.
yeah I punched wall I don't like when people cuss
How is your patience level?
+Parmesana Awful.
I have pretty much the same impacts as well. I am curious if you have figured out what makes you feel hot. I have not really been able to figure it out.
Shouldn't it be affects?
How do you handle going to the salon, dentist or doctors office? They always want to small talk there.
What are your Religious beliefs? If you have any.
I am a Buddhist / Jedi
Ok. What do you mean by "Jedi"?
Pyro Manyak Jedi as in www.churchofjediism.org.uk
Hi Dan...did you get diagnosed when you were a child or an adult?
short of breaking my fists I really recognise with this video.
