Autism is fake lil bro

people before you tell them you have autism: "why are you so weird?" people after you tell them you have autism: "but your so normal why are you so normal" (or they just infantilize you)

Autism is insanely misunderstood, lol I remember telling my cousin about having autism, and he suddenly started looking down on me like I was a four year old child. It's honestly insane how mispresented autism is

The degree to which people infantilize anyone with autism is genuinely wild

As an autistic person, I think it's super important for these types of videos to exist. The more we talk about our own experiences, the more we'll (hopefully) become less stigmatized.

The maturity part I agree with a lot. At this point I've just noticed how many people around me are now just incapable of having an argument or discussion without immediately heading to insults

as someone that has autism im very good at hiding it and everyone has no clue unless i tell them but i feel like its looked down on for no reason like it makes you less of a person for some reason when people do find out or know that you have it. I also experience the same thing with being much more mature and stable out if most people my age. also bonding very well and feeling a connection with only people that have it and not really feeling a way towards people that dont

The "lets bully him because its funny how he flips out" literally just described my entire school experience until high school

Just gonna mention this because u said this in the video. Autism itself is NOT a learning disabillity. Learning disabilities are more common in autistic people, but not all have them. Like im diagnosed with autism, but i dont have any learning disabilities. The only thing about me that possibly effects my learning abillity is probably my other diagnosis, aka ADHD. And i don't mean affect my learning as in like, my brain takes longer to learn, more that i get distracted all the time (which is annoying).

I've ran into the issue of, whenever someone knows I have autism, people automatically feeling sorry for me or changing their tune to patronize me. It used to be insulting.

2:10 I FEEL THAT SO MUCH. my step siblings always take advantage of my autism by twisting my words or just telling me im autistic as an insult.

i’m an autistic woman and i feel like my maturity experience is reversed. up until i was around 13, i was told i was “very mature for my age,” had a very inquisitive and open mind and interests that were seen as more befit for older individuals. now, though, im often called immature or childish because of my interests and the way that i act. it’s frustrating.

I am most likely Austistic, but I'm never sure, because I'm constantly bombarded with people who say I need to "change" or "just accept society and earn money." I rarely even accept it because a lot of people tend to say insults and things like, "You're f**king Autistic" like it's a bad thing. So, I've just always been on edge for being a castaway who doesn't really understand why most people can't have a conversation with me, or is it me them? I'm basically a dropout and homeless because I could never do anything without asking "why?" I just found this video and I quite like the voice you give. I hope I can eventually get rid of my anxiety, depression, fear, and guilt.

If someone pulls the 'counts stuff thrown on the floor' thing smirk like they lost their mind and say "I'm autistic not a damn vampire." As "According to European lore, vampires suffer from arithmomania, the uncontrollable urge to count or calculate numbers." I'm 46 and only recently did a test that shows I have a good chance of being autistic. what a time man

One reason I think we get the "genius or idiot" treatment is that we tend to be at least somewhat smarter than average, but to have communication issues (ranging from physical problems speaking to tending to organize our thoughts, and thus our words, in a different way). If you can't communicate, your IQ as perceived by others drops dramatically.

oh my god yes, I feel like people always immediately think of super high-end autism.

A very common thing that I experience is being misunderstood, followed by punishment, that is then followed by ignorance. And it's the most heartbreaking and frustrating thing you can experience as an autistic person.

Personally, i think one of the biggest problems is, that most people dont know Autism is a spectrum. Most Neurotypicals either think you're dumb or hyper intelligent, nothing inbetween. When I have to tell them that it's not like that, they look at me like I'm an Alien. My experience is actually pretty similar to yours, I just didn't know until I was 17 and I still have a lot of trouble with emotional control and socializing. I have the same best friend since 15 years, I literally don't know how to make new ones, also being selectively mute (which isn't actually as common in autism) making me look weird and stupid for others. I'm not an expert, because as you said, I don't know how it is NOT to have it, but its good to know you're not alone. I just wish "normal people" would look into it a bit more

Things like Big Bang Theory don't really do much to help, that show is pretty much just what executives at some Hollywood studio thought autism might be. There's maybe less than 1% of people that are like Sheldon. Here in Sweden, someone made a really weird but similarly "I have no idea what it's like to be autistic" movie called "in space there are no feelings" or I rymden finns inga känslor in Swedish. I remember my younger sister watching it and just flat out saying "this has nothing to do with autism". She compared the character in the show to me and nothing of the things I show where anywhere similar or related to said character and their autism. Feels like typical Hollywood sh!1, they can't be bothered to do even the most barebone research possible (funny that the rain man thing gets used as an example, that's an extreme outlier that so rare, it barely even exists to begin with). Edit: I like to joke by saying that autism is like "running a different operating software", normies use Windows while I'm stuck on Linux.

I'm autistic, I'd feel insanely insulted if someone told my boyfriend he's taking advantage of me, a LOT of us can consent, the only autistic people who cannot consent are those who cannot communicate in any form

getting infantilised while autistic is the most annoying thing ever, people switch up so fast, even when i assume they dont mean to they start talking more gently to me. when i was 16, i went to a pottery class with my parents, and they decided to tell the teacher that i was autistic. and he literally spoke to me like i was 5!! i felt like i was going insane. i just think differently im not a baby

I never realised how much of a stigma there is around autism until watching this video. I don't feel comfortable posting anything about myself here on the internet but I can definitely relate to some things you have experienced. It just saddens me that people look down on people with autism. It is a spectrum and not everyone with autism has the same kinda stuff if that makes sense. I'm sorry you had to go through this you've earned a new subscriber.

I'm autistic too, a late diagnosis at 22. People don't understand that a Savant is an incredibly rare version of autism (the kind of autism that can recognize and continue patterns instantly), and that autism is a massive spectrum. That's why the DSM-5 calls it the 'Autism Spectrum Disorder.' Most cases of autism are ASD-1, which used to be called Asperger's, but is now called 'high-functioning autism' This just means that a person has autism, but can be independent. This type of autism can be both a blessing and a curse. For myself, I was one of the rare lucky ones that wasn't bullied, but that was because I masked the hell out of everything. I have always been self-contained, isolative, all due to abuse from my parents. This means I don't like being around people or sharing my things with people. I still love people, I love sharing my thoughts and ideas, but if I can avoid it, I will. However, my autism makes me an incredibly smart person. I have a poor sense of humor, because I take things too seriously, but that seriousness makes me incredibly adept at thinking things through; coming up with problems and then solutions to those problems, and understanding things deeper than most people can. I work INCREDIBLY on my own, but get overwhelmed frequently and can't work with others on the same project. This is all to say, that autism isn't the same as you'd see in media. Autism can be masked, or the person's symptoms might not manifest as noticeable behavioral issues. Autism is a spectrum and can be very volatile, but also very reclusive. Treat individuals as individuals, and get to know them and their unique quirks; it could end up making them an even better friend than most people.

i really love being able to hear someone talk about this

I am autistic. That's the only reason why my parents don't let me control my own life. I'm 19 years old and will soon be 20. My parents forced me to go to a college for electrical engineering for two years. According to the law, I didn't have to, because I was already 18. But my parents had beaten me, kicked me and whipped me with a belt to make me go there. I had called the police many times... but they wouldn't help me. They told me that I had no right to decide about my own life. I still live with my parents. It is awful. I just want to rule my own life. I want freedom.

in terms of mental maturity I've found that personally I feel like there are multiple types of maturity, and that I became advanced in some aspects much faster than my peers did and then for other things much slower.

Keep making videos brother, you’re funny and talented. I love these low effort but highly insightful videos. I love watching em while I play Minecraft

i'm not autistic, so i don't know what it's like, but i know what it's like to be neurodivergent. i'm neurodivergent in a different way, i have ADHD. 3:40 is so accurate. i didn't realise most things i've done that were actually ADHD behaviors. turns out, it wasn't a "normal people" thing to have 56879368 chrome tabs open at once lol. it's kinda like how a color blind person don't realise that they're color blind since they don't know how other people see.

the mental maturity is smth nobody talks about with autism, thank you for talking about it. i feel seen

I am also autistic. I am now 24, I got diagnosed when I was 20. My whole life I felt sort of different but my parents never understood me. I went to so many people (proffesionals) and some said I was, some said I wasnt. The problem my parents thought that people who are autistic are retarded and I am clearly not. So it was a pretty wild ride with therapists and people because my parents didnt agree and we just stopped going. I was like 14 so I couldnt really go on my own. Anyways my parents also had problems (different problems) but it was just a struggle. Anways I get that with not telling people bacause some people I have known my whole life and when I was 20 and I told them they just acted different to me. Its can be a struggle. I have also met so many new people who are autistic and everyone is different. There are like a million different variants it seems and everyone has their own struggles. My parents do understand me a lot better since a couple of years but it took some time. It also helps since I moved out and lived on my own when I was 19 and I got my diagnosis at 20 so that also kind of helps... I could of gotten the diagnosis when I was 13 if my parents wherent stupid and removed the steriotype autism they had. I kind of understand why they had that idea because when I grew up there was this kid in the street who was like mental, demon, evil autistic just being a retarded asshole and they based their vision of autism on that...

I do not like the term mental age ngl, I think that phrasing kinda missrepresents what was going on.

Teens are so immature you should probably just ignore them. Its so annoying going to school and just hearing the N and R slurs every second.

It took me a little while to realize that intelligence is relative, that someone with autism who has a monotropic focus on a single thing is seen as intelligent if their focus is deemed practical where someone with a focus on something deemed impractical is seen as weird. I eventually derived an entire theory of ethics from that thought, how I could have the same brain but focus on something people wanted and be evaluated as genius or focus on something incomprehensible and be evaluated as an idiot. Someone with the same brain, a brain capable of crafting The Magna Carta, can dedicate all of that potential to drawing Sonic The Hedgehog foot fetish content all seemingly by random chance. Thus, what is good is what is practical.

"I stopped telling people I have autism" as he places the 3 pickaxes and shovels neatly into their own collums. Jokes aside thank you for talking about this, it's always nice to have another resource to educate people and hopefully have them change how they treat others

Thumbnail: autism isn't what you think Me, autistic: "Hmm"

As an autistic person. I was recently diagnosed, nothing has changed it just feels like people treat me like a baby because I have autism. When I tell people I have autism they start to treat me like shit and leave me out of stuff. I’m not a child anymore, I have had autism all of my life do not treat me any differently

Autism is exactly what I think it’s like; a condition I have.

I get what you mean with people having insane expectations. I remember seeing someone put it like "they want you to either be Sheldon Cooper or a tall toddler". I'm autistic too, but I didn't get diagnosed until I was 18 because my mum thought all autistic people are screaming morons who don't emotionally mature past the age of 5. What's weird is that I really think she's autistic, but she doesn't realise it because she thinks her experiences are normal. Like those people who say "everyone's a little autistic"

I had an experience that really changed my option on autism recently when I was just hanging out with some friends and found out two of them were autistic and it was just a reminder that people are literally just people and the fact that someone has autism shouldn't affect anything in relationships

so true. if any other teenager gets angry, stays up late, etc and the school knows it its normal. if an autistic teenager like me does, the school will intervene in our family business to "protect me" by forcing my mum to go to a "class".

As someone who is autistic it’s basically the a equivalent to a regular person stoned as hell on pot except it lasts forever.

Hearing that I have Autism, my diagnosis came at around age 5, someone at our church started asking questions about me to my parents even though I was standing right there and answering. Hearing your side, it makes me question even more why we're all grouped together with only "Autism" to describe all of us, which seems equivalent to specifying "Rainbow" as a favorite color.

kept nodding my head like this guys spitting fax

as an autistic person, this is fair. also heres a brownie recipe: Ingredients Butter (½ cup) 2 eggs Sugar (one cup) Cocoa powder (⅓ cup) Vanilla extract (2 tablespoon) Flour (½ cup) How to make it 1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. 2. Start mixing: Start your brownies by mixing sugar and butter in a bowl. Once they are fully mixed, add your egg. Then add the flour, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. 3. Bake: Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Take them out and let them cool for one minute and they are ready! Time total: 18 minutes

As a fellow autistic person, I relate to the emotional control issues while young so much. I was so easily triggered into rage as a child over small or inconsequential things. It might be due to also having ADHD but, I was angered so very easily it made me feel ashamed to think back to. I also relate to being more naive or immature compared to my peers at certain ages, like early to mid teenage years. I was thankfully not bullied too much as a kid, but goddamn learning how normie socializing works was such an immense challenge- I said so much stupid incomprehensible shit that I'm honestly surprised I even managed to make any friends. Or maybe I got lucky and was surrounded by many fellow potential neurodivergent people, I don't know. I didn't notice I was different from other people until my mid teenage years, perhaps that's what made me not hesitate in trying to make friends during my kid years. I'm still in school and people younger than me are using autistic as an insult all the time and it's probably due to that cursed TikTok app, which makes me so mad. To be honest, schools gotta start educating kids on neurodivergent conditions because as things are right now they'll grow up to become stupid adults that they will then carry over to their children. It's so frustrating. Thank you for this video, sorry for my rant at the end of this comment.

My cousin is autistic. Although not severely, he does have issues with socializing at times. BUT HE IS MY LITTLE MAN, AND HE IS AMAZING! And one thing that just ticks me off so much is how people treat him. In school, he was bullied so much. Him saying things like people putting fists at him and such, thinking he’s “weird”. What is it with people? Why is it so hard to treat others kindly? What have they gone through to make them like this?

as an autistic person, I’m giving this video a 8/10 just has some missing stuff that’d be important

You should probably get better tools.

Hey man I just found your channel and this video alone means so much, not just to me, but I think I can be speaking on the behalf of the whole autistic community, I’ve grown up with ADHD, autism, colorblindness, and anxiety and it’s always great to see people speaking out about this kind of stuff, i have it rough with autism as I have both the supergenious and the mentally behind kind, I also struggle to talk to people socially, so yeah just thanks so, so much for speaking out on this stuff, I can’t thank you enough. Much love :)

As an autistic person who has not felt love yet, you have just given me some (potentially false - i hope not) hope

Thanks for talking about this, it means a lot to me as an autistic person, when I see someone take the courage to claim the label and counter such common deep-rooted misunderstandings, it fills me with so much happiness. I understand the vulnerability and risk it takes, I really appreciate it. We exist, we are normal, we are misunderstood and we're not alone. Thank you for reminding this, it's so validating

As an autistic person, I just gotta say this video touched me on a very deep and personal level, while I’ve never exactly been bullied (either that or it’s been passive aggressive in a way where I didn’t pick up on it) I do struggle with people. It’s as though they don’t take me seriously, or think of me as an idiot. I’ve never been good at making friends, and as a kid (for reference I’m 17yo now) I’ve had many adults be very short with me, and now I find even basic social interactions scary. Thank you for making this video.

Autism is WAY to misunderstood as my personal experience so far is I’m smarter than most other people my age but I’m also really silly so it’s a double edged sword

41 here, diagnosed at 37. I actually tell many people, as my "problems" are fairly minor, and the explanation helps with the potentially weird facial expressions, or overly pedantic responses, or perceived poor eye contact. But however you handle it, is the correct way for YOU to handle it. Don't let anyone tell you different!

Fully agree, relate a lot to this. One of my biggest struggles growing up personally was emotional regulation, which I'm still working on but have gotten a lot better with. My emotions have always felt really big and overwhelming. Generally though I've stopped seeing my autism as a bad thing. In fact, I LIKE being autistic. I like how my brain works, my world makes sense to *me.* And like you I normally only vibe with other neurodivergent folks. Most of if not all my friends are, and I haven't even gone out of my way to find those people. We're like fucking magnets. Being weird isn't bad, it's good. I love being weird and I love weird people. Being "normal" is boring as hell? And it's GOOD that we have people who think in different ways. If we all thought and worked the same there'd be no contrast and no growth. I definitely have challenges that "normal" people don't, a lot of which are caused by a society that doesn't cater to how we function because we're in the minority. It can be really rough sometimes, it's not just positive. But I wouldn't be who I am if I wasn't autistic, and frankly I like who I am, and I love my friends. If other people write us off based on us being autistic, that's their loss. Great video dude, thank you for sharing your perspective 👍

I can relate to everything you’ve said. I was quite mistreated, and misunderstood, by my peers, up until I was around 15. The bullying I have received was so severe, that to this day, age 18, I still have trauma from it, and was actually diagnosed with PTSD. Not even my school could guarantee my safety. It’s a side which I rarely open up about since it is often too much. Thankfully now, I’ve found some friends who, not only treat me right, but also understand me. One of my traits which my friends love is my brutal honesty, i’m not exactly sure what it is, perhaps it is that the words that I’m saying means something? Like it holds an extreme amount of weight? Whatever it is, I’m just happy that they treat me well.

I feel the same way as you. I am also autistic, and I always got bullied my whole life through elementary school and 6th grade. I always felt like I was such an outcast and a different being, and I had a friend who took advantege of me. I feel so much better now that their are people like you who have the same thing as me and understand. It's so annoying that some people in this world just don't respect us and think we are stupid. Thank you for the nice video! I'm thankful that I'm not the only one! 😊💗

incredibly helpful video and relatable thank you also lmao the point where you noticed where you died was like 3 blocks away from air was the biggest bruh moment

I actually shared the "alien" feeling you had, but in a different way. When I was young I always knew I was different but I just couldn't understand why, emotionally unstable, unable to understand things others could, sometimes do things others didn't understand. The list can go on, but it clawed at me, "Why am I so different? Why am I so slow?". The public humiliation and bullying from teachers and other kids didn't help. After I got out of school (dropped out at 11th grade because I couldn't take it anymore and almost had a mental break) I practically cut off all ties I had. After a year or so of reflection and at age 19 I realized I had autism. After realizing it, it genuinely felt like a burden was lifted from my shoulders. Years of torment and not knowing why I was different felt like a memory. I don't tell people I am autistic because I know they will get the wrong impression and I really hope more people find out what being autistic actually means. Even now my current friend group is mostly comprised of autistic type people, mostly because we get along and or share a connection. I fully believe that autism is a spectrum, it's not black and white. I am on there somewhere, I might not have the greatest control of my emotions and I will always feel different, but I at least now know why I am different and I am happy where I sit. :3

I was autistic at 3 weeks old, Having autism is a weird thing to have like your smart but you might struggle with socialising and stuff.. I understand us autism people alot so yea it’s good that these kind of videos to exist.. Thanks for making this!

turns out the thumbnail is wrong autism is exactly what I thought it was because I have it

I ABSOLUTELY don't understand people who insult people with autism, like people with autism is just people that are different

I love my autistic friends. I love hearing about their special interests because hearing the same opinions from the same people gets boring. I love how they can be so invested in such simple joys in life. Even if its just video games as I see it as an art form. Since my autistic friends have a deep appreciation of art, I can only admire them for that.

as a non-autistic person, this is just goddamn sad

I'm autistic and this is how my brains works. I can't imagine how other brains work. I don't understand how humans can have a conversation with others and not loose interest in the moment. I was really behind in school aswell and I did have extra support but my brain would wonder off and not be interested in learning because I found it confusing. I get obsessed about the things I'm interested in and I remember facts about those certain things and the only reason why I would remember is because I really value that thing. We are all different and that's the difficult part is knowing what should I be doing to benefit the world. The world is set to work in a pacific way and that's where we might not fit in and other people who aren't autistic aswell might not like how the world works. We just gotta find what makes us happy and have plenty of money for the enjoyments. About anger issues I totally understand as our brains will be very black and white thinking. Like if someone picks on you then you think I'll get them back. The stresses to add up. Too be honest I've noticed I get more overwhelmed now more than ever but hopefully my life will get easier or atleast feel like I'm on the right track. We autistic like to have a set goal and plan everything out in our head. My mum is supper supportive and I'm so lucky for that.

As an autistic 13 year old, it feels weird thinking about the fact that it highly possible that i STILL have ever felt real love. This video helped me know a LOT more about myself.

man spitting facts (I need to prepare for the day my classmates find out I am autistic so...) I am basically not very socially capable and I used to have anger issues, but I'm faster at some things regarding intelligence than some people

I honestly really respect you for being able to come on to youtube in front of thousands of people and talk about your condition and way of life... I have an autistic neighbor so i know that yall are also just as human and deserve just as much respect as any other person ESPECIALLY since its something yall cant help and i think this vid will inspire lots of other autistic people to know what to do in certain situations... good job bro

fr people call me autistic because i have ADHD and i think that people should not make fun of other people just because of things like that but great video man

I really appreciate you speaking on such a misunderstood and sensitive topic. As a fellow autistic person, people always view you differently if you're more of the media's view of autism. I'm sorry they dissed your girlfriend. Also my school all view me as the Sheldon Cooper Autistic (I cringed typing that) Also the normal speech hit so hard

I'm autistic, diagnosed level 2, and I must say, I enjoy watching you play minecraft :)

I have autism it does a make a difference but really we can still learn everything and do everything that none autistic people can do so I treat it as if I don’t and continue with life we can’t change it we were born with it so we may as well embrace it.

I just came across this video and it hits close to home. As an autistic guy I can fully empathise and understand not only how it feels to be stereotyped and misunderstood by ignorant people, but I can also relate to how you talked about feeling alienated and disconnected from everybody else. People’s words can eat me alive sometimes and it hurts, thank you for making this and even though I’m a couple weeks late, I’m super glad I found this because it makes me feel like I’m not alone. Keep spreading the word 🙏🙌

As an autistic person this is a very nice video! I also agree with the fact that autism doesnt really get well represented other than its two extremes. Personally im a lot more open to saying im autistic, its makes for a funny moment and (imo) may even help spread that message that autism has nuance! I can relate to that maturity part and being bullied in elementary school! (I will say that the bullied part and therapy likely made me a lot more moral of a person though. Especially since around 2nd grade apparently I was seen as kind of a bully/jerk which i didnt know until a half year or so of bullying) but yeah. Extra note: Its best to wait until youve been friends for a while before you tell them, has a both funnier and stronger effect of saying "hey youve been with me for months now and you didnt even notice. Maybe that means something. "

I relate to a lot of what you are saying. I am not autistic but I have adhd, I know its not the same but it is upsetting the way a lot of people stigmatize things like this. great vid!

I can tell you from also being another Autistic person. Theres a whole spectrum of autism. For example im very high functioning which means im very much normal in the brain but then there’s people with autism that are more lower functioning that like he said in the video usually do need help living. And this part 5:00 hit me really hard because I used to have the exact same problem I used to have VERY bad anger issues and also got bullied very much so thank you so much for telling “normal people” that autism is not a “retarded” thing and making autistic people feel way less alone. We need way more people like you!

Thank you for sharing and helping spreading the word. As an auDHD girl, I really relate to what you say. Talking about this publicly is hard, yet important!

I totally appreciate your view on this. Im also autistic(not officially diagnosed but its highly likely i have so many symptoms) ive been told im weird my whole life and have learned to mask to "fit in" and it never zeemed to work. My bf is doing my best and i love him so much for trying to be more understanding than those around me. Also at the end of the video i relate SO HARD because i always forget something important and remember it after. Immediately got a new sub and thankyou for sharing your views with everyone i love finding neurodivergent folks that i can relate with as it makes me feel like im welcomed. Ik im just rambling at this point but in other words, thankyou for sharing

Damn, I didn't really consider that autistic people share the experience of "coming out" as autistic

thanks for helping me view autism differently, i really liked your story and i think more people should know about this. Many people make fun of being autistic and make jokes about it very often and i just have to feel bad for them. Your a amazing youtuber and i hope you do well in the future

I have autism too, thanks for talking about this. Everyone misunderstands us as if we are outcasts or something, so thanks for shedding light on the situation.

as a high functioning autistic I really enjoy seeing others perspectives

I've never been diagnosed with autism but i lost my mom as a baby and related personally to pretty much every single thing you said in the video. I'm glad I was never labelled/diagnosed, I just eventually came to the natural conclusion that most people are pretty unthinking and social systems are pretty fucked. I hope you see your perspective as a strength and im glad you found people to help you feel like you belong bro. great video.

I am a neurotypical teen dating some who does have asd, and holy smokes the amount of challenges that she has had to face is inhumane. One of the reasons why she liked me so much was because I didn't care that she was different. That is messed up. Even her parents who have had to deal with asd before have done such a bad job at getting her ready for life and asd and it disappoints me so much. But regardless, thanks for the insight I always love to learn about asd to try and help her as much as I can! Good luck with your girlfirend and hope people continue to stop treating you like dirt, and always remember that there are people who do love you!

for the past few years i feel like i act much more mature than anyone my age (i'm 15) in the internet world (thanks to internet exposure actually) but at the same time stumble when i try to make a sentence in a face to face conversation honestly saying "i grew up a lot" after getting harrassed by 'some racists' (this happened to me) is an understatement, although i may have my own episodes whenever i get bullied (online or physical), i try treat everyone with the utmost respect as much as i can, especially people who talk to me often hard to tell if i'm actually autistic but i understand what you're trying to reach out here

I'm autistic sir, and I have trouble being with other people. I can relate to alot :) I hope all you autistic friends are doing great!

i needed to send this to my friend. he has always misunderstood this condition. thanks

I really relate to you man I did had the same experiences as you but with some minor differences like my mom was always with me Im sure you had it harder then me and im happy to you you found someone as same as you and i hope you get better

Dang, KZfaq recommendation knows me a little too well. On a serious note thank you for this video. There were so many relatable notes in this that you couldn't have explained better, especially the school stuff on a personal level for me. This video would be perfect to send to anyone who I feel needs an education on autism.

As a 42 year old autistic guy that found your video, i can say the "more mature than others my age" thing once you catch up is real. Personally, i think it boils down to the fact that we are so used to putting those higher standards on ourselves, and we keep doing it, and everyone else has jever had those standards.

My friend has an autistic non-verbal brother. Before watching the video I thought that was pretty much autism. Now I feel so bad.

Thanks so much bro for this awesome video! We need more mature and thoughtful people like you out there :)

Im proud that you can speak about this im autistic and have other things too.

a lot of people don't understand that different isn't necessarily better or worse, it's just different

Oh my god i cannot tell you the amount of times i havent laughed at an offensive joke and people just brushed me off saying i didnt get it because i was autistic. No, i understood you were making a joke. I just didnt think it was funny.

bro my school is filled with autistic children, i’m also autistic and tbh, we be vibin, we do not care if the teachers are shouting at us to work because we just sit there and entertain ourselves 😂

I have autism and it changes a lot about how people treat me and I hate it

I feel you, I'm also autistic. I feel like people can forget its a spectrum and it's not as black and white as people assume it is

no bcz for me when ppl find out i’m autistic they always just say “oh, that explains a lot” like damn

People call me “acoustic” for having autism
