Hello Leroy, that's precisely what I intended to convey! Autistic inertia can be understood as a sensory delay. It's important to recognize that individuals with ASD are fully aware of their surroundings and what's happening. Thank you for highlighting this point!

autistic inertia... that describes it quite well...

Was that really your pop? Or you saw it on Reddit and posted it here?

That is very true. One of my autistic nonverbal grandsons very rarely engages with people, but once in a while, when I make kissy noises at him, he will roll his eyes and either let me kiss his head, or else he will hold out the back of his hand for me to kiss. 🤣❤️ I love him so much!

Hi Diggi, thank so much for your comment! I am happy that you apprecaiet those subtleties in my animation, it means a lot to me! :D

to be productive though it is something that needs to be controlled.... usually through medication. I am unfortunately both of these cats XD I have ADHD and autism... and yeah trying to get any work done is an absolute NIGHTMARE if I don't control my ADHD...

well not just the media but really most of the people who don't have it. "if you really try you can improve yourself and learn to concentrate and stop getting distracted" I guess it is fine that they don't get it. I cannot imagine what it feels like Not having it. I like the way I am. its just my way. I love tat recently this things got really well known. I would just think that other people are just better then me in dealing with crushing weight of boredom and resisting distractions. This video's comments feel so welcoming and understanding. oh , I guess I got a litle bit side tracked. have a good day.)

I concur. We're masters of "head empty except for those we love"

agreed.

Same for me but with ADHD

@@trollerthegreattrollertheg6234 couldn't put it better myself lol!

Dear Radiance, It's great to hear that you resonate with the personality of this character. Here's a fun fact: sometimes I freeze just like the other character. There are moments when someone talks to me for ten minutes, and the last two minutes seem to vanish from my memory. Then, as they look at me expectantly, I suddenly snap back to attention. I realize I need to respond, but it's like I've missed a part of the conversation. It's a bit like waking up from a daydream! I've learned to be more aware of these moments, and it's made a big difference in my interactions. ✌😺

I have Autism and I also feel the same. I'm tired of talking to my "friends" (I hate them now they're not real friends, especially my exes with "adhd") just for them to ignore me. I don't care if they're shy or dont know what to say, just saying "yeah", "okay", or changing the topic entirely is enough for me because i also change the topic randomly when i ramble for hours. :)

I’m like that and I’m autistic, not adhd Or at least I don’t think adhd? I match up a bit, mostly in the hyperactive ways I frequently ask my friends what they think of something I show them but they don’t react much to

Ugh your so right, i really need to figure that out better

A mí me pasa igual! Pero no estoy diagnóstica da con nada

Thank you so much for the appreciation, Pop!!

IKR! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😻😸

Thank you!!! 💖

Hi CDara!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I am so happy you like the animation. You're absolutely right, the ASD cat's initial reservedness doesn't necessarily mean they don't like the ADHD cat. The key point is that the ADHD cat doesn't give up on the ASD cat, showing patience and care until earning their trust. Take good care, and sending virtual hugs your way! 😺💖

it's sooo cuuuteeee 😭❤

What does ASD stand for?

Hi Angnin, thanks for your comment! Regarding the still character, they're depicted with autistic inertia. This means that while they may desire to express themselves and share their feelings, they often appear outwardly 'frozen' or unresponsive. Despite this external appearance, they possess a vibrant and rich inner world, full of thoughts and emotions waiting to be expressed. 💖😸

​@@PixiGags I'm autistic and that's exactly how I feel! I had no clue that had a word! I'm much more expressive in text than IRL

@@PixiGags I haven't been diagnosed as autistic, but my older brother is. However, that description you just gave describes me on a 1:1 scale. I might have to go see if I also have it, I've been told my whole life that I'm "normal" so it would be really shocking to find out that I'm not.

@@jesternightlight you had no clue bc I'm 90% sure AI was involved with this. stay cautious, fellow autistic

While it's natural to feel nervous about texting your friend due to different communication styles, it's reassuring that your friend genuinely enjoys your company.

at some point... you are just ready that people would get annoyed , you embrace it. being anoying is fine as long as it is being yourself. and then , you may finally focus on one singular victim. you never gave up before , you just stoped for a bit , but now you can interract with one person for extended periods of time. because you like to talk to them.

My partner and I have a game when they are cooking: how long can I annoy them before I am thrown out of the kitchen? My record is 10 minutes!

It seems more and more people have ADHD and Autism, beside the fact it is taken care more than before , the higher odds ratios (about 30%) linked to pesticide exposure in offspring with autism spectrum disorder is kinda concerning, this and the endoctrine disruptors : autism is 265% higher in California than in Utah, this endocrine disruptors (replacement of iodine) is a promising explanation, i am somehow wondering how much of our morden life impacted the cases we face nodaway, there is still not a lot of money given for this studies, since the industry do not like them

@@PixiGags Ha ha. That was meant just to be a silly joke. But in all seriousness, I love you're use of shape. Bothe cats have very distinct outlines. I love how almost the entire animation is done in silhouette, with only the eyes and legs braking this rule. And when the two cats fit together like puzzle pieces. *chef kiss* Just satisfying. Also that 180 turn at 0:33 is just gorgeous.

I also like the way they tessellate. Making their shapes fit together perfectly is oh so satisfying!

Absolutely, Delvin! You're spot on. As individuals with Asperger's, we definitely don't ignore; we are just more zen. It's all part of our unique way of experiencing the world. Sometimes, it's our Autistic Inertia that keeps us unresponsive for short, sometimes longer periods of time. Thanks for sharing your insight! 😊👍

SAME! lol!

My whole life I was told I have ADHD because I wouldn't focus on tasks. Now I feel like I've always just had ASD, where I just didn't know when I was supposed to do something. Even now, I'll stand there and wait for someone to finish talking even if they've noticed me, because I don't want to interrupt and I assume if they were ready to have our discussion they would stop talking or direct their conversation towards me, since they obviously noticed me walk in, and notice me waiting patiently.

@@treebeard7298 Man I feel that so hard. Sometimes it's hard to have conversations with people because you want to chime in but you also don't want to interrupt the other person, but now they've already changed the topic twice and you still have a comment you've been saving from the first conversation.

I have ADHD too and now I can't stop thinking about if Lemon is more sour than Lime and about how they grow different and why one is green and the other is yellow.... Also why are oranges called oranges but Lemons are not called yellows or Limes called Greens? Or is tomato a fruit? Pumpkin is too right? What even is celery it's like 98% water....🤔🤔

​@@shyryTsr2k hi! An autistic here, I actually I can answer those questions: commercial limes are sold underripe. Fully ripened limes are yellow like lemons are! The color orange is named after the fruit, the fruit isn't named after the color. The fruit came first! Tomatoes and pumpkins are fruit but in cooking they're used the same as vegetables because they're savory instead of sweet. This goes for other savory fruits such as olives and avocados! Celery is a stalk of the Celery plant, a stem, which stems are the things that carry water through the plant. Hope I helped !!

@@teddy-behr Wooooah 😲 These facts are insane especially about the lemon/lime ones because I didn't think limes were underriped lemons! And wait so Oranges were grown before the color became a color? Rainbows have been around since forever haven't they? So wouldn't early humans know about the color before the fruits? Idk wild guess haha. Also what you're saying is savory fruits are USED as vegetables but are not vegetables? Also why not eat the whole plant instead of just the stem of the plant or is that already a thing I don't know about? Sorry if I'm overstimulating your brain lol just so many questions in the universe and not enough answers...

@shyryTsr2k ugh bro I was writing a response but KZfaq deleted it so this one isn't going to be as enthusiastic bc I'm annoyed now lol sorry, but anyway You're a little confused about the lime fact, they're still different fruits, limes are just sold unripe because.. uh I don't actually know why, besides that they want it to taste unripe? But yeah they're still different fruits, both are just yellow when ripe :) "The earliest uses of the word in English refer to the fruit, and the color was later named after the fruit. Before the English-speaking world was exposed to the fruit, the color was referred to as "yellow-red" (geoluread in Old English) or "red-yellow". - Wikipedia page for the word orange So the color totally existed but they didn't start calling it after the fruit until a LOT later Also, all parts of the Celery plant are edible! People just eat the stalks because that's.. what they do? Maybe it tastes better than the leafy parts, I don't like Celery personally lol so I can't confirm or deny this

Hi Katy, thank you for sharing your feelings with us! If you experience these still moments, sensory delays at times, or have feelings like you don't resonate with people as a group, and enjoy routines and patterns, it may be a good idea to look into it. Remember, your experiences are valid, so embrace your sensations and be proud. 💖☘

I've been diagnosed with ASD, and my mom said that the first sign that something was off about me is that I seemed to be in my own little world all the time. It was difficult getting my attention. From what I remember, the reason that it was difficult was that I was doing the exact thing you described, thinking about fandoms (or sometimes science). So that is definitely a symptom of ASD for sure.

@@liviwaslost All animals have zoomies, a sign of understimulation :p

oh dang how’d you get diagnosed in the end? 🙃 /genq

​@@blueberryjackson7539 If I had to guess it's because ADHD has known presentations without hyperactivity. Really, the term Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is just a terrible name for the condition, especially since it leads to both overdiagnosing in kids who don't have it and underdiagnosing in people who do. We really need an overhaul in the naming schema.

Dear @kropotkinnie, You've described that experience vividly! I can resonate with it actually. It's funny, I've never heard about empathy disorder, but I do absorb the feelings of other people. I didn't understand at first. For example, around arrogant people, I would feel shame, and I didn't understand why. Then I was told that arrogance is a compensatory attitude for internal feelings of shame. That's when I understood that I internalized the core feelings of people, from their subconscious mind. It really drains me, I must confess. Then I have to spend time alone to regulate myself. Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you all the best. 💖☘

I haven't been in many relationships at all, maybe a few with people I fully trust and still think about and care for, however all of my exes are neurodivergent just like me and I started to realize it's because I can understand them and they understand me and I just feel so comfortable with people like me...

I have Autism and apparently I'm very extroverted, I'm just silent when I'm not around people who talk about the things I do. I honestly doubt I'm extroverted, I'm always shy, fearing of being judged, silent, scared, and definitely wanting to stay away from people at all times unless they share an interest of mine... isn't that being introverted?

@@Someone-so4zy tbh I think treating introversion vs extroversion as a binary is kinda problematic... Like, I tend to act more extroverted around people I know and when interacting with their friend groups, but on my own, when I don't have a particular friend or shared interest to act as a sort of catalyst, I tend to be more quiet and usually avoid interacting with people unless they initiate the conversation... And I don't really hate being alone, but I don't hate being around people either... I need to have some human interaction to maintain my mental health, but at the same time, it can be draining to meet new people, try new things, and visit new places... I guess you could compare me to a capacitor in an electric circuit; I can store and output energy, but I'm not that useful without a larger power source to provide charge intermittently... I also don't like conflict and tend to try and smooth out discrepancies... Like how capacitors are sometimes used to even out an alternating power source to provide a more steady current (like in a diode bridge rectifier, for example, where a capacitor is used in combination with diodes and a resistor to convert AC power to DC power)

My family did the same thing. At family parties, everybody would always whisper about me and treat me oddly and I never knew why. I grew up and found out at like, 25.
