// WELCOME TO ASPERGERS FROM THE INSIDE!!
My name is Paul and I discovered I have Aspergers at age 30.
If you're new you can check out a playlist of some of my most popular videos here: / aspergersfromtheinside
Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this blog, because if I didn't show you, you would never know.
As the name suggests, this channel is devoted to giving you insight into the world of Aspergers.
This blog started off being just my story, but I've learned SO MUCH about my own condition
from meeting others on the Autism Spectrum that now I make sure to feature their stories as well.
I've come a long way in my own personal journey.
Now I'm sharing what I've found so you don't have to learn it the hard way too.
-----------------------------------------------
// WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS BLOG
I value your time which means there are NO KZfaq ADS on my videos.
You can expect me to get to the point with concise useful information.
I focus on what is most important and don't shy away from difficult topics.
The best way to learn about Autism is to see it in real life ( i.e. via the stories of many, many people on the spectrum).
In this channel I endeavour to show you what Autism and Aspergers look like in real people and to also give you some insight as to what's happening on the inside.
I upload a new video every weekend with some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
There's always new stuff coming through so be sure to check back and see what you've missed. (Is this where I'm supposed to tell you to hit that subscribe button?)
Topics Include:
- What is Aspergers/Autism?
- Aspie Tips, coping strategies, and advice on common issues
- Learning Emotional Intelligence (this is my special interest!)
- Autism in real life: stories from special guests
Everything I do is and endeavour to go deeper and take you 'behind the scenes' to understand what may, at first glance, seem 'odd'.
oh, and I love busting stereotypes and turning preconceptions upsidedown :)
-----------------------------------------------
// ABOUT ME
I discovered I have aspergers at the age of thrity.
It has been my life's mission to understand these funny creatures we call humans.
My special interest is a combination of emotional intelligence, psychology, neuroscience, thinking styles, behaviour, and motivation. (I.e. what makes people tick)
My background is in engineering and I see the world in systems to be analysed.
My passion is for taking the incredibly complex, deciphering the pattern, and explaining it very simply.
My philosophy is that blogging is an adventure best shared.
-----------------------------------------------
// EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING
I also run autism friendly online emotional intelligence training. So if you like my direct, systematic style, and would like to improve your own emotional intelligence skills, check it out here:

Blogging is an adventure best shared which means I'd love to hear from you!

You are lucky, I'm an autistic son of an autistic man and a "normal" mom. my parents separated because my mother kept demanding things that my father was unable to do (my mother's behavior is the exact opposite of what is explained in the video and what you are talking about) and also the reason why few month ago I went to live with my father. Now i am 22 and i have been since i was a teenager there is no communication with my mother, i am saddened by the situation because i dont know how to behave. My mother explicitly told me that she can't be my friend, the way I understand(?) because the function of parents is to be an educator and that's it. with his authority principles etc i can't get close to my mother(and sorry for the english)

The dearest person in my life is an aspie and I was able to relate to a lot of the points in this video. I used to feel very "unloved" by him, and I would point it out to him, which made him withdraw more. The best thing I could have done is be more understanding, we communicated and he told me that he felt he was expected to do certain things but wasn't able to see those physical ques in things like touching, which helped a lot. I learned to just enjoy my time with him, and when he's comfortable with me I feel extremely happy because I know all the love he shows me is extremely genuine :) We've known each other for 8 years and I absolutely consider him the love of my life and every day I learn how to understand him better I love him even more

Hi there, I did think that you should send me your social media to talk in private. We are in love in a long-distance relationship. I love him because of his honesty and kindness. I’ve never believed in anyone else like that before. But since we’re in this distance, I don’t know if it’s love. He’s always relying me so late after my text even though he does not do anything in a day (Sunday in Germany and he told me also that he has nothing to do). I still want to believe that he still loves me (because he always says so and I trust him always) but the things I want for love, he doesn’t know it.

Back when I was 19 and the love of my life had just turned 21, I kept waiting for him to say that he loved me. We were in different colleges and he would make an 80 mile round trip to see me. That was during the 1960s before Aspergers and Autism were commonly known and spoken of. Looking back, I realize he needed me to speak up first, which I could not do because of verbal abuse that I had suffered. Adding to the stew was that my parents hated him for reasons I understood even then. Because of your videos, I have a greater understanding of the situation. Thank you. He died ten years ago. It would be nice to talk to him about this but that is not possible.

Simple: you just do. Some people may think we are incapable of love, when the simple, yet frustrating fact is that love is just difficult for us to communicate. So we can love people who have no clue that we do and for that reason dont reciprocate it either. We dont understand why we dont get invited to weddings and birthdays by the people we hold dear and consider friends and loved ones. And its all because people dont understand how much we care for them and how important, they are to us.

Anders Berdal which is why it’s VITAL to learn how to communicate those things. That is a piece of advice mybex Aspie received from two Aspergers specialists...that he needed to SAY way more, share his thoughts etc. It’s a building of a bridge to the other person, the path to connection... he wouldn’t do it consistently. I do understand it was difficult...but I really needed it I’m not a mind reader...

I love that book and have been trying to encourage my (likely) Aspi boyfriend how we can communicate love to each other via the 5 love languages. Unfortunately, he is defensive, like Paul brought up. "Unfortunately," my love language is "Physical touch," which makes it especially difficult when the aspi doesn't like to touch or be intimate. :-( Sweetpeace5: P.S. in my book it is called "acts of service."

There are actually more love languages, many of them are autistic ones. here they are: •Following (I don't know why but (consensually) following someone is a way I show affection) •Infodumping/listening to infodumps (while this is pretty normal general behavior for autistic people, for some it also serves as a form of bonding) •Making faces •Mimicry (though because of burnout from masking this one is more something I recieve than give, but should it happen I usually return it) •Support swapping (Essentially helping eachother take care of themself (for example: getting someone a glass of water, or trading chores or something) This one I don't entirely understand, but some people have this love language. Also like all forms of affection make sure your partner knows what you are doing and make sure it's consensual, especially since this love language can make an autistic person distressed if for example they don't know how to do that one thing, or don't usually do it and they preffer things to stay the same) •Crushing (This one due to sensory issues needs to be informed) (Essentially affectionate dog piling (don't jump on someone though, that can injur people)) •Stimming together (this one is often shared between autistic people, but can also just participating in a stim with an autistic person can be seen as affectionate by them) Hope this helps

To the Aspie: forgive the person for being mad at you. You possibly don't understand why there is a need for anger or believe that you haven't done anything wrong, but you can understand they have a right to get upset about things they are unhappy about. There may not be anything you can do about the situation itself, but it may help accept the criticism without feeling defensive. Instead of the mood being combative, the mood feels more communicative.

Not exactly. Aspies are loved because of themselves. Its a process to create better language and understanding between us now that more people are discovered or "out". Those coming up have a lot more understanding. All of us (NDiverse and NTypical) who grew up in the decades where it was an invisible/ denied/ taboo/ prohibited issue have a lot of correcting and adjusting to do.

I am an autistic schizophrenic. After decades of trying to fathom the mindgames, strategies and pointless dramas that go into relationships, I finally decided to live alone for the rest of my life. Having made the adjustment I've never felt calmer, and as a result happier. No more craving love, no more pining for women who don't love me back, just peace. Women are wonderful, I don't need one, I don't want one ever again.

I applaud you for finding a place of peace and structure. I hope you don't mind a suggestion: instead of dating, or craving women, perhaps try seeking a dating coach or relationship counselling as a single person to understand what very special type of woman who might be compatible with your desired calm, clear, well-adjusted life, and what personality traits she must have to fit into your life. Just a thought. (I believe the right kind of woman is out there waiting for you and that all the previous women you've dated were perhaps simply incompatible.... and it's not fair to overgeneralize that to all womankind. A dating coach can help you navigate the muck without getting sucked into it)

My amazing boyfriend is just looking into getting tested for autism, but some things I noticed that make a big difference: 1. Focus on the positive, and let them know when they said/ or done something you liked or enjoyed. And, it's ok to reflect on it and tell them when you're remembering something lovely of the past and how it still makes you feel good. 2. When making plans, have a back up plan. When things start going wrong, he starts to panic. I think it's because he was trying so hard for something to be great, and on the spot it takes time to plan something new and maybe we don't have an hour to plan out plan b, so then he feels even worse that we missed out all together. (He's mentioned several times that he's shocked I've never screamed at him, so I'm guessing that's the reactions he's had in many past relationships. That breaks my heart because I know his heart is good, and never with bad intentions). 3. Have other friends to do things with that your asbies partner dislike or is uncomfortable for them. And, encourage them to have friends who also love their special interests. I have different friend groups for different things. That way we don't miss out or expect too much from anyone person. (This is good advice for all even in NT w/ NT relationships). 4. Be specific about what you'd like. They will do everything to make it happen (but also refer back to #3 and don't push for things way out of your asbies comfort zone. If you do, that's just rude): - funny story: when we 1st started getting intimate and I wasn't ready for s-x, I'd asked him if he'd like finger me. He did and went right for hole. It was enjoyable, but I was also a bit shocked. A few weeks later, I told him so and he was embarrassed because he thought that's what I wanted and started to feel bad, so I quickly explainedthat I'd enjoyed it or I would have asked him to stop, but that it was just different from what I expected. Then he said he'd thought that's what my request was, and I thought about it and realized that rubbing on the outside and inside are both called the same thing, so I suggested that if he's ever new with someone else to start on the outside and let her tell him to move to the inside. 5. My asbies man ruminates over things that go wrong and I do too. But we both look at our parts of why we had a disagreement. So one of the most wonderful things about him is that we can talk about things later, share our thought processes of why we were holding so tight to our point of view. Then we usually think about what the other said regarding why, and then have another discussion a few days later of how to do better in the future. - For me, bickering all the time is a deal breaker. I have adhd which comes with rejection sensitivity and arguing tears me up, and makes me feel rejected. But, I like how we can talk about things later, and that gives me a hope for our future and I told him so. (I haven't explained rejection sensitivity to him yet, but I probably should). 6. When an asbies person has reached something, they are experts, but if I'm not, or disagree. I ask for them to explain more about it, but not all at once. This is particularly important for making financial discussions such. I'll say, I don't get how this works, so it makes me nervous to do it, so I need to know more about it. Hope this helps. I know all people are different even if we have similar brains operating systems we each have a lifetime of unique programming. Doesn't matter if we are ND or NT, that's true for everyone. The best thing to do is talk to people to learn what they like/ need/ want/ or hope for.

And always have a rule of kisses hugs and expression of love before anyone leaves or parts away from another (usually myself, my partner, and my daughter) it ensures love is expressed as well as if anything bad were to ever happen the last thing said is "I love you" and the last thing done is hugs and kisses

And I recognize that he heard a lot of negativity about his lack of executive function at school, home, and at jobs and when he thinks I am unhappy, he also needs to know that we are still friends/ lovers and it isn’t a permanent feeling for me. I appreciate this video so much, as I need reminders to stay flexible and reasonable in my expectations of him...thank you!

This has been pretty amazing. My partner of 29 years was diagnosed early this year and it’s been rough. I struggled to understand him and he wasn’t able to articulate in ways that I understood him. It’s been painful for both. My daughter is an aspie and she has been incredibly supportive and helpful and introduced you into our lives. I am able to understand you. So from my heart, thank you and please keep sharing.

I have only just started to realize that my partner may have undiagnosed Asperger’s/ASD. He has struggled his entire life, feeling like something was wrong with him, like he couldn’t connect emotionally, like he wasn’t smart because he just couldn’t understand others. I want more than anything for him to be happy and loved and accepted just as he is and watching these videos gives me so much hope. There is so much I weight I didn’t realize I was adding to what he was already carrying, with my baseline of expectations. I don’t know that he would ever seek or accept any diagnosis, but if I am right, at least I now know how to work towards creating an accepting and loving atmosphere during his time with me. Thank you, for this exceptional information.

As a NT married to someone on the spectrum, I can say sometimes it’s exhausting to have to be the one who always makes accommodations for the other person. My advice is that if you are getting involved with someone on the spectrum go into that relationship with eyes wide open. My person and I had no idea when we got together and damn it gets a helluva lot harder once you get older and have kids. It’s been a hard journey.

The thing is, your partner is constantly making accommodations for you too. You just do not realize it. Being on the spectrum means constantly accommodating everyone around you so that they can feel more comfortable. We constantly change the way we communicate with the world to attempt to be less offensive. You just don't realize it because your way of communicating is the "norm" which makes you think the efforts we put in are nothing.

Yes @MB… Cassandra Syndrome sucks. And it’s not a matter of blame. It just IS. NTs interact with conversation and feedback. People on the spectrum are more “transactional”. It’s not good or bad. It just IS. And beyond difficult to maintain a “connection”. We need intimacy. Well, I do anyway.

A great choice of partner for someone with Asperger's ( in my experience) is an INFJ. They are loyal, accepting, honest, have integrity and like their own space as much as we do. I'm never being pushed to be "more social" and our level of intimacy is just right as we both value and feel comfortable with non verbal communication.

"Nothing you can do can make me love you less..." feels like a lie to me. Absolutes like "Nothing" or "Everyone" tend to be coming from the emotional brain, like "I could eat a horse." You taught me this Paul. But I'm still getting used to understanding that talking in absolutes, like "Nothing", is more about how they feel and not to be taken literally. The reason this feels like a lie to me is because people have said this to me and then later, when we are fighting, they bring up things I did that makes them unhappy with me. So for me, this statement is very dangerous and triggering.

me and my other half (aspie) have this saying - "seahoarsing". Stay with me here. So, I was asking her "you must find it weird that everyone asks you what you did on the weekend every monday at work". She agreed. I explianed that, the question is not a real question bourne from real curiosity. Instead, it's a weird ritual. It's a simple performance designed to acknowledge the other person. It just means "I value you, so I am showing this indirectly, by engaging you in this familiar conversation." She blurts out "like seahorses!" She continued by explaining that sea horses, when they see another member of their social group, will do a little ritual when they pass, circling each other in a little dance. So a lot of what NT's do is simply ritual. there's another layer of communication at play. When NT's talk about absolutes, they are often more symbolic than literal. When they say "nothing" they mean "very little". There will always be something a person could do. It's simpy understood among NTs that "nothing" in this context is caveated with "though obviously I'm speakling figuritivey and mean that, right now, I can't forsee you doing anything that would make me love you less, unless of course you did something bad". We don't tack that caveat on the end as it's universally understood that absolutes are not really to be taken literally. WHY this is understood I can no more explain than I can see in infrared. Somehow among us it just is.
@archivist_of_dragonstone

I see where you're coming from with absolutes not being absolute, but at the same time, look at the statement and then look at the example you gave. The person says "I won't love you less" but that doesn't mean "I won't ever get mad at you" or "I won't have needs". Someone can be upset or disappointed with your behavior, but still love you deeply. They can dislike something you've said or done, but that doesn't mean they dislike you as a person or want to end the relationship. If someone cares enough about you to make the statement that they will never stop loving you, take them at their word. And then if you're arguing and they say that they're upset, remember the magic message: Things are not okay at the moment, but I still love you.

An combination full of surprises... on the one hand we share a lot of experiences (like feeling like an outcast), on the other hand, we have a lot of miscommunications. This video helped me accept that he still loves me, even if I feel like he is neglecting me or ignoring my emotions. I just used your magic tip and told him I loved him, even though he is withdrawing from me and taking his space. It hurts because I need him, but I know he will be back when he feels better. Every time I am with him I am reminded of why I love him. It is hard work, very hard work, but definitely worth it. I really miss him though, when he is tired and not able to give me his attention. Especially when I am already in an insecure/emotional mood

It resonated so deeply with me because I never got that reassurance with the person I cared about the most in my life. I’m devastated. She continuously pushes and pulls me with toxic behaviors that could be considered psychologically abusive. And the worst part is I feel trapped, like my brain is at war with itself in breaking it off. Watching through your videos, it’s opening my eyes a lot about myself.

Thank you so much for making this video. A lot has happened with me and my girlfriend, and I just didn’t understand her in that it wasn’t necessarily that she didn’t love me. Knowing that this is entirely actually how a person with Asperger’s feels is HUGE, and now that I think about it, looking back on all the abuse stories she’s told me- I really do see how those all play into this, and how she doesn’t know what to make of it when I don’t try to explain my needs; usually, this would turn into the both of us getting mad, and we’d both make the worst of decisions. Finding this life video is lifechanging to me; I felt so depressed, and was letting my world fall apart, thinking that my findings of how she was treating me were all because she doesn’t love me. It is really different knowing that she actually cares, and I guess our experiences this far very much demonstrate the extent to which bad things could happen if I weren’t going to respect that obstacle for her. Thank you so much for helping me to communicate in a way that isn’t stressful with my best friend in the whole wide world. It means a lot to me.

Thank you so much for making this video. I am in love with a man that is on the spectrum. Your simple outline has helped me understand him so much more and how I can better communicate with him. This means the world to me.

Thank you so much for this video! I love my Aspie man and wouldn't change anything about him. Sometimes my own insecurities sneak in though and I wonder if he really loves me. This video made me understand... he does. ❤️

I dated a guy who was an undiagnosed Aspie. He displayed many Aspie qualities, was textbook Asperger’s, and needed everything described in this video; however, he refused to get a diagnosis. He insisted that nothing was wrong with him and I was the problem. Now, I know an Asperger’s diagnosis isn’t a bad thing, but apparently he thought it was. I felt completely alone in our relationship because of his behaviors, actions, and often inaction. If he’d had a formal diagnosis and gotten therapy, counseling, or some kind of help, I would have been in it with him side by side 100%, but because he refused to do so, that made me believe he just didn’t care enough about me to do it and I had to walk away.

He may not have been the right person for you anyway, but you have to bear in mind that autism still carries a heavy stigma. Just look at people who rather not vaccinate their kids out of terror that they could be ASD; they think getting measles is better than being like 'us'. Maybe this man grew up around people who had shown open contempt or fear towards autism so to him, the implication that he was ASD *was* very offensive and possibly terrifying. It doesn't sound like you were a good match since he would blame you for everything- which is a red flag in any relationship, aspie or not. But it's important to know that the personal process towards an ASD diagnosis can be scary, painful and long. It should not be done as a proof of love for another. The person must be ready to face it for themselves.

As someone who is an aspie there are parents who don’t tell their kids that they have Aspergers, and they inherit their parents aversion and forced ignorance regarding autism

I have Aspergers, and your first statement saying we have been told we are not good enough or not doing it right all our lives - this almost made me cry. On top of the fact that my ex did break up with me and suddenly I have to snap myself out of it and remind myself she was not all of that either!

This is great advice, I appreciate the videos. I've been with my boyfriend for 15 years and he's an aspi, i have tried everything you have suggested but I think he thinks I'm just nagging him all day although I'm just trying to get my needs met. I've tried everything, its quite exhausting and at the end of the day I feel extremely lonely and like I'm constantly walking on eggshells..I really dont know anymore. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much, this helped me so much with the guy I’m talking too. I know he’s been hurt by the last person he was with and I’m willing to understand who he is because I care so much about him and see a future with this man. I appreciate this video so much!

I have to say a sincerest thankyou to you for this video, indeed the diverse community. Without the wider understanding of individuals unique in their own way - you have brought me closer to my partner. Words have little comprehension to the joy and quality of life you help bring to our relationship.

I'd like marijuana or medicinal marijuana to calm down. It also helps me focus on those jobs at home I procrastinate getting done and blocks out a lot of negativity which makes me feel better. I haven't had any marijuana for over 1 year but can honestly say that it helps a lot
