you don't have to answer this question if you don't want to but why is it harder for autistic people to make friends?

@@thebaconplays5305 because people treat you like an outcast I'm autistic too and look where I'm trying to pursue I'm trying to become a musician the reason why it's hard to make friends when you're autistic is because people look at you weird people treat you like an outcast like hey this guy is weird don't hang out with him and I don't think that's fair to the person who has autism I'm not saying it's a bad disorder it's a good disorder because people with autism can learn faster but it's hard to comprehend certain things and it sucks because when you have this disability people treat you like you're stupid like you won't get nowhere in life and I hate that when I hear someone say that it really pisses me off

@@prophetmusic2828 everyone is weird include me but that isn't fair for people that has autism called weird

I know how you feel cause I'm autistic and I was bullied and treated like an idiot

enlighten me pls.. do you guys have emotions at all? do you have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong just like normal ppl? answer pls

Einstein supposedly had Aspergers!

Whoever told you that is a liar! I'm sick of autistic people whining about not being treated right. Autistic people have don't have the synapsis in their brains to develop correct amounts of neurons to function properly! Autism is a genetic defect problem. You need to do more research before you whine about being mental.

@PRISTINE JOEL you can’t cure autism. You’re just ignorant.

It’s a bit strange, because I was diagnosed with pdd-NOS in 2005, but 5 years later I was scoring 120 on iq tests .

So sorry I love you and you should be strong ❤❤

Im autistic im not badly i have i just having small learning disability i feel for you with respect

I’m high functioning autistic. I act mostly normal in how I interact and interpret what’s going on. I’m off when it comes to facial expression but do emote just not as much as most people would. I sometimes misinterpret or get confused by rare phrases or rhetorical sarcastic questions but with kids and adults like these people in this video it can be hard for me to understand what they’re trying to tell me. Some of what the man with Michael comes across like to me is that he’s trying not to falter and phrase his question about “a man” as “what man, where do you mean this man in relation to our day and immediate conversation”. It’s good just to me seems off because of the challenges autistic people can depict unintentionally.

@Noor jahan Jahan do your best to believe in your son’s health and future. Remain calm, don’t let yourself get swept up in excessive emotions I have been 90% better at controlling my emotions to make sure they don’t cloud my mood, my body’s comfortability, my heart for those I love respect and admire for their similar strengthening emotionally, getting less physical about resolving problems just being kinder to others and being less judgmental in a moralistic worldview.

Being "normal " is terrible. Please be proud of yourself for making your quality of life is good!!

Einstein supposedly had Aspergers!

Autistic people crave structure.

They do whatever they can, including use of totalitarianism, to keep people branded with autism BELOW those not branded, and as well keep the concept of autism alive and thriving in a world where objective science constantly threatens its existence.

I hate being autistic im always labelled as special needs and cant go in a collage what i want go i have the grades for it its just we are labelled and annoying i have passed my arts but still cant get in a collage with it

@Mr. Scuz just think its a bit unfair

As well as that, when support workers talk about the person in front of them and when challenged say things like "I don't think he/she has the cognitive ability to understand what we're talking about"...that REALLY annoys me!!!

@@iamthegame09 i understand

@PRISTINE JOEL you shouldn’t be allowed to have kids

:(

@PRISTINE JOEL where can u buy this and whats the name of it

You are an absolutely perfect, amazing person! Please, please don't ever hurt youself! I promise, I care. I am a mom with a son who has autism and I wish I knew you. I would have taken you in as a family member, even on vacations! From a mom, to a stranger online, please know that you are loved.

@@1990onyyy thank you ♥

@@JustinGarfield1 you're most welcome! I am also so proud of how intelligent you are and how beautifully you write! My son is currently very minimally verbal, but i hope he can talk like you one day! You are an inspiration to all parents who have children with autism!

@PRISTINE JOEL can you quit replying to every fucking comment with your bullshit?

Can you get some kind of job?

Be happy ❤️

Most people without autism do not know what they really want to do in life in any case. Just focus on all your special interests, enjoy them & excel in them with practice, diligence & perseverance. Then some work/training opportunity will come along... Get a college mentor or job coach if you are in UK (and you are already 18) to advise you. Sometimes a job mentor/coach without SEND experience will be better because Mencap job coaches often have too low expectations.

No don't ever say that it's a part of you think about your skills

Having autism is the worst part of your life, but don't let it control you, you have to fight against it! I know this because I have autism myself, and I always fight against it! And if you know what you actually want to do in life like something that keeps you motivated, it's never too late to start!

My son has been diagnosed of autism spectrum since childhood and has battled with it all his life. But recently taking Dr Oyalo herbs have helped him get rid of it completely

Most autistic people are somewhere between the ‘smilers’ and the ‘lost’ people (to use your descriptors). And many of us can seem like a ‘smiler’ in certain situations, while appearing to be withdrawn in others. In the autism community we have a saying; “If you’ve met someone with autism, you have met one person with autism”. 4/4 people in my household are autistic: I am a parent and an allied health professional and I have higher degrees in Education. My young adult children all have high to very high needs, and all need support workers to varying degrees to negotiate their daily lives. As for how we perceive the world; many autistic people feel like they are “not normal”. Many autistic people have tried to fit into mainstream environments, but continually feel that they/we don’t really fit. Many autistic people find their local community to be sensorially overwhelming, and many try hard to deal with everyday life, schooling, working, such that when they/we get home its just too difficult to engage in anything more than alone time. Many autistic people see the world and social processes differently to what we have learned is a neurotypical perspective. But our differences in perceptions make autistic people valuable in the world of work, as we can often see shortcomings in decisions that many not be obvious to neurotypical people. But equally, many autistic people believe that everybody sees the world the same way they do. These people have difficulty with ‘theory of mind’, and often think that everyone knows what they are thinking; and thus the world can be frustrating when other people seem to be making stupid decisions. Ironically, these same autistic people don’t even consider that they don’t know what other people are thinking or feeling. So, yes, we experience the world differently than people who are not autistic, but each autistic person sees things individually too. Yes, there are patterns, but overall I think that there is more diversity within the ranks of autism than there is between neurotypical people in any given community.

What an odd question to ask us. We can't tell you what it feels like to be autistic, as we haven't tried anything else. Imagine if I asked you how it feels to not have autism. How would you answer that question?

@@spiralpython1989 thank you so much for the insight. I’m a 1:1 worker and I sometimes wonder about this, yet never ask. Some of my participants are non verbal, so some of their actions aren’t always transparent to anyone other themselves. Everyone has a unique perception of the world around them but with neurotypical givens and etiquettes that are almost always adhered to without question (queueing, road rules, greeting people etc...you name it) it’s always wonderful to see how a fresh pair of eyes interprets social constructs and situations.

Can't just stop referring to us as objects or a different species we are Human just like you

@@spiralpython1989 "the world can be frustrating when other people seem to be making stupid decisions. Ironically, these same autistic people don’t even consider that they don’t know what other people are thinking or feeling." to quote you here.. I'm Autistic and literally never even considered this point until you said it ... I see people make stupid decisions every day... and never once thought about what are they feeling or what is going on that made them chose that decision? .. I also agree with your whole reply. You sum it up very well, way better then I could

It's been a year now since this comment was post hows he doing

@@shawnandmattfilms410 yea we play one the weekends, it’s more hack and slash than storytelling but they love it. We still need more practice. Eventually I want to DM a game for autistic teens or adults but I’m not ready yet.

your a legend. I wish more people had that mind set.. I have tried so hard my entire life to understand other people, to understand communication and social keys... but with my autism and learning problems .. I just can't.. so I constantly fail at being a friend, and at socializing. I don't know where I go wrong or what I'm doing wrong, and no one has ever had the patience or ability / willingness to teach me and help me understand what I'm doing wrong or where I'm going wrong. so I'm stuck in a cycle of making friends, losing friends, trying to socialize and constantly failing at it :D

@@randomsmile9064 believe in what (you) see in the mirror..autism is a different type of intellect our inventors in history most dealt with things like that ..so the difference in you could be greatness...be you...)

Michael hast du message about your reply soon meet you at my place is beautiful bride and groom wedding dress up midnight

Esther Meya exactly, unless he played with it for too long then other than that let him play

I think the support worker didn't have an issue with him playing football, I think it was more about teaching Michael that 1) change is part of life and 2) that choice is an important part of living independently...

iamthegame09 I wonder why he has a support worker in the first place...

@@spider2.094 is that your business, no

I have ADHD and it's a living hell aswell ...

@@elijahsvrbinge7166 For my opinion, I said this to the public that it's both a blessing and a curse. Again, it's my opinion. You may have different opinions of what you say.

I said this because I felt similar to both of you. I have autism and I felt the same thing of it because it can be a living hell. But for some reason in my thought, it's also a blessing because of how much things I have changed.

it isn’t, be more positive

Asperger's people can have speech delay and motor difficulties sometimes. It's wide and deep. It must be very difficult to figure out what kind of care a child needs when you don't know what's going on in their heads, let alone how they will develop. There are kids who are completely non-verbal who have IQs well above average, and people who you would never realize were autistic until they got stressed out and suddenly lost the ability to move or speak. The distinction between Aspergers and autism isn't as clear cut as they thought, so they got rid of Aspergers from the DSM5

In my country ..im not sure about the rest of the world..aspergers is not part of the spectrum anymore

The new dsm5

rachel panda what country are you from?

Aspergers is still part of the spectrum it's just not called that anymore. Now we are just called high functioning

I have autism as well 👍

Same for me, i got tricked

​​@@user-ev9sw4ee8jcompletely or.. like some things are less difficult for him?....

I'm autistic with learning and behavioral problems my entire life. I've gone through very aggressive and violent phases. but to attack people?? kill animals?? that's not autistic at all.. that's something far more serious.. You should report your team captain and get this individual the proper support and help he / she needs... Autistic people are rarely ever violent.. The only way I can see an autistic person being violent is if they are stuck in a situation and can not escape.. Most autistic people avoid conflict at all costs.. attacking random people is the complete opposite of avoiding conflict.. The only times I Would be violent or aggressive towards another person is if its during an outburst due to a loss of control from built up stress / frustration. or if I'm stuck in a situation with no escape.

@PRISTINE JOEL how legit is that 😅

Is that honestly true?

Ryan Gemellaro I have autism ocd and adhd as well and it’s really hard for me I even struggle at my school and I am only 14 😢😢😢😢

Daniel Read Have you considered home education? My autistic son absolutely loves home schooling. We go out 4-6 days a week on educational outings & he gets to do all the things he loves with people who have similar interests. As long as your English, Maths & Science are up to scratch, you can always return to school/college later, if you get bored but you never will. My son loves trains & has a train driving lesson with TfL on his birthday. He loves music, nature & active exercise so we go to workshops, recitals, Kew, gym, etc. He’s always on educational outings. He loves snooker so last week he was playing for 3 days away from home at a world disability tournament & as soon as that was over, he went with his carer, to perform a music gig in a care home in another town where we have friends. The opportunities to learn & meet massive, fun but scary challenges, to take you out of your comfort zone, to develop as a resilient & confident young adult are all there. He is so happy & generous that he even helps out in charity & community despite his autism & intellectual disability. Home education is person centred on you & your special interests alone but your parents have to be unitedly committed. It’s very hard work as you’ll be trained & you will learn way more than at school & HEd is definitely not for the uninitiated. There’s even a book on those who have gone before - those parents who chose to homeschool their autistic children & youths & all witnessed what a wonderfully refreshing & life-transforming experience it has been. I started homeschooling my autistic son from year 7. You get to meet all sorts of people of all ages outside your school bubble in your community at libraries, museums, galleries, gym, care homes, etc. My boy has met homeless people on the street, too. He will get an education from spending time IN COMMUNITY with real people (not just with the middle classes he meets in his church) in real situations informally, at the University of Life, but as I’ve indicated, your parents have to be willing, bold & committed.

Don't worry. Researchers are now using CRISPR to treat polygenic disorders in mize. Even google now works for autism research too. In Five years there could be huge changes in our knowledge and maybe some cures already.

Same here

I have autism,ADHD,and bipolar disorder

Same

same, but i’m not 100% sure about my ocd

Don't procreate ever

child dies.

My mom blames my autism on why she doesn’t take care of me :/ she’s had many children and is regretting it then uses my autism as source to hate something about me without seeming bad 💀it sucks

Well there is no point in being bitter, because bitterness is not a positive mentality.

My son also has pervasive developmental disorder, he also has dyslexia, adhd, and autism. I take care of him 24/7 but during the week he goes to an adult day program.

I do too

My son is autistic too. Im trying to keep optimistic but sometimes just so worried about his future and felt helpless.

AAU BT Leave her! Get a new girl.

You can do way better.

I don't understand what you mean. You can mask your autism, for example if you have been taught to expect pain or punishment if you "give in" to the feelings you have. So you bottle it all up until the cork flies off and then you have a meltdown. Do you háve autism or are you speculating or..what's up?@@orlaw.8213
