Oh my gosh, the animal one - YES!! We do that all the time for the horses and dog (and sometimes even the cats, goats, chickens, and llama)! It's not constant, but I honestly see it as that we're analyzing their body language and testing ourselves as to whether we can read it correctly - with the horses and dog, it's actually helpful in some instances because it can communicate some important information to the rest of the group even if other people don't notice that the animals are doing something.
I've done it so much for cats. Their expressions can be so intense lol, they have such great attitudes and very high self worth, I love it. They're also shining examples of how to b chill
I feel much more connected to animals than human. My dog (profile pic) is my best friend. We comunicate with eachother all the time. It's so much easier than communicating with humans
yes me too! It has been probably four years since my cats die, and I still miss them so much and cry if I think about them for too long, it was just such a special bond, I remember when I was little and my dad got the first cat I saw her as my little sister. Then I realised cats age faster and when she was grown I saw her as my bigger sister. Animals are just special
Yeah there's no problem making them understand u like there can b with other people. And they don't pretend, if they've had enough of u they let u know, if they wanna hang out they let u know, it's simple.
You might be... if you're doing a project with NTs and they seem to instinctively know what to do and where to go and you feel awkward and out of place because nobody has given you clear specific instructions as to what to do.
I’m currently obsessed with chickens, typically rooster as it kinds of reminds my dad. There’s a lot of chickens here recently in Singapore. Additionally, pigeons and chickens does look quite similar physically (and size). I like looking at pigeon doing their courtship dance. Funny lol I do like kittens as well and I always like to say the same word “smelly butt kitten” (they just too cute and look like human kids in terms of behaviour) I remember I used to talk to a cat before when I was young
I realized I can read animal emotions by picking up on sounds and eye movements more recently. Dog eye movements and pitch calls are unique in a way to communicate via large group settings in far distances. No color vision so they have enhancements with their other senses. It is something people with autism can relate to.
I often see people making comments that are satire on many channels and having them be deleted. TH-cam cannot tell the difference between jokes and hate speech.
Hello Nathan! I'm pretty sure this is my first time commenting on one of your videos but I've been following since early 2019. about 6 months ago I was diagnosed with autism because of your "you might be autistic if" videos. I realized I related to a lot of the stuff people where saying and it turned out I was also autistic. thank you for making these funny but informative videos and ill be sure to keep watching till the day I die! or until you stop uploading I guess... whichever comes first XD.
Lucas Ducas I was having a rough day and almost had a shutdown A few times that day and then I saw the comment and that was it I started stiming and rocking back and forth and hand flapping and making noises trying to stop a shutdown and I just stopped it but the next day I had a shut down so I guess I failed my brain broke when I saw the comment
YOU MIGHT BE “blank” If you base your fashion off clothing that doesn’t itch but at the same time it’s bagginess is also very much important I don’t like clothes that hug my body. It’s bad enough when clothing rubs against the skin let alone restricting movement as well as having that constant pressure that clothes put on your body like it squeeze your body. This is a continuation of my last you might be “blank” if
you might be ... if your best friend knows you are done talking or telling them a story when you look back at them because you can't form words, grammar, or comprehensible sentences when making eye contact.
I don't know why it was so cool to me, but my other acc is pepsi, and when you read my comment I felt so happy and warm, and when you laughed and agreed I was smiling so big lol. I went and showed it to my mom because I felt really proud haha. Thank you for that
Does anyone else have any stims that are kinda funny? One of my funny stims is me holding up my left hand with my ring and middle finger down, which is how spiderman shoots webs out of his hands. I just call it my spiderman stim
Ugh, that comment thing is so annoying. I have the same problem with the general word for "LGBT" that starts with a Q -- I understand that some people use it as a slur but it's pretty normal now to use it in a positive way. They constantly delete my comments for using it, though. I have to remember to censor myself on this platform.
You might be... if all people cut you off in the middle of your sentence! Lips moving, still talking! Why, oh WHY can no one let me finish my sentence!!!!??
That happens to me all the time, and then people get confused why I get annoyed at them. Apparently allistics just interrupt each other a lot in normal conversation and don't care if they get interrupted?? I don't get it.
I’ve recently been wondering if I have ASD and I found y’all’s videos while researching. The part at 7:20 majorly caught my attention bc I thought I was the only one who did this!! I’ve never been able to put it into words but you described it perfectly. I get this overwhelming frustration/nagging if I don’t go back and carefully read each word of a sentence until I’m like… aware of it I guess? Even if I fully comprehended it. I NEED to go back and check if a word had an “s” at the end, or if the article of the sentence used “a” or “the.” Unimportant things like that.
11:21 lmao I do this. Also I have made a whole album about my cat. Singing her name and some of her basic needs or random behaviors while a soundtrack I would be listening to at the time is playing in the background. Love doing that.
I wonder if how sensitive someone is to flat affect is cultural? Because I would never have thought Jess was considered having flat affect because in Scandinavia, it's not very acceptable to be overly expressive when you communicate. Which is to say, if someone is very expressive they're considered very extroverted, but you're not considered unemotional if you aren't as expressive as they are. With that said, I've seen a couple of autistics who have all said they are considered to have flat affect and they're very similar to me, so I wonder if I have flat affect or not. No one has said I do though, hence I wonder if it's cultural.
You might be ... if, even though you are 20, you are too scared to ask/discuss with your mom about getting a service dog because you already have a dog at home and have a ESA bunny and because of the amount of money they cost so you "know" she is going to say no. But think you could use one and it would help you for when you move out and get a job.
I think it was Conor ward and and the aspie world both noticed the same issue in their comments recently. Btw Kael is pronounced like Gail nail jail bail just with a k sound at the start. ;P
You've met ONE autistic. Yep. My son is autistic and is nothing like you, except for the chewing fabric as a kid. My first cousin was autistic and was nothing like either of you. Some behaviors are similar, but that's it. He doesn't have a service dog, but he has an emotional support animal, and the difference in his behavior since getting that little cat is miraculous.
Jess has this certain way with presenting things and it’s just so savage and incredible. I love it. Never change, Jess.
When I saw this video on my screen I got all giddy. I love these!
Don’t we all :))))

We have much to learn from them

Feather yea same, I feel a stronger conection with my animals then any human 🤭

U don't feel judged about any human failings from them

Omg yes!
I love these Types of Videos! Everytime you do these, They get me Smiling!!!!! 😂😂

You used the A word and your comment wasn't deleted. This is confusing.
@@orangesanguines I am also very confused, I copied this comment onto google docs because I fully expected youtube to delete it. weird.
I’m confused it shouldn’t be happening it should be gone how is the comment here it should not work
@@mastershifu1148 im not sure sorry.

I do this thing were I move my lip up and down like a ventriloquist doll. Not sure why.
I loved jess her discription of wordsXD it was realy fun to hear and very relatable:p.
Oh, those ah ha moments!

I posted a test comment with the forbidden words to see if it would be deleted and IT WAS. Ugh. I hope TH-cam addresses this.
