Please make a special series of videos to show the progression of these specific people. I'd like to see them every month.

Hey just incase you didn’t see it there’s a comment asking for better closed captioning, due to being hard of hearing. I think that hearing out their request, especially with this video would be a great thing to bring to the table. Thanks 👍🏻

What exactly is autistic? Can it be a person that is slow? Or just different? 🤷‍♂️

@@jeremyozuna4493autism is a spectrum, so everyone experiences it at a different severity, and different symptoms (although they relate). you can google it!

@@Planck944 I'm asking like fr fr no disrespect. Just asking

@@jeremyozuna4493 oh okay cool I am so sorry I thought you were trolling. Sorry. 🙏.

I loved Herby, everything he said made me feel so sad, bipolar is soooo misunderstood 🤧

I feel so seen too

He's beautiful 💜.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you

as someone with bpd i related with his stories a lot :(

Thank you for sharing. As disabled person your video was helpful knowing there are others who have the same thoughts and feelings as I do. ❤

Vivs, and all, thanks for sharing your life with us!

Thanks for sharing your experience and being an inspiration.

You will strive

Thanks for doing this. ❤

Kate, and all, thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I hope that they bring you all back once per month.

You seem like such a lovely person Kate and I hope you’re able to continue healing and find some peace. ❤

Kate. My heart broke hearing her pain 😢

​@eugenetswong I recognise Kate somewhere does she have a channel?

Kate, you are such a sweet and strong person! I wish you all the love in the world, from the bottom of my heart. I loved when you talked about what you did to make life more meaningful. I have been thinking a lot about what makes life meaningful in the past few months. In the end, all of us should reflect and act about it, since no one knows when our last day is gonna be. Thank you very much for sharing your story.

Who is that?

​@@urgentcaredr she is a musician who was on " The voice" also she Directs and write her own, music videos.

As an autistic Melanie Martinez fan I felt so seen. It was hard to stop the waterworks at that point.. I would happily be their friend!! 🫶✨

i felt that on a spiritual level!!

I love Mel sm and I’m on the spectrum just felt seen and I’m glad there are others with the same experience as me in the fandom

Thank you.🖤

@@Livingdeadskeletonwe love you!❤

Austin has such a big heart ❤

They were eating onions?

@@sannanandy3955 it was rhetorical, it basically meant that the episode made me cry since it was so emotionally impacting for me

Exactly!

many, many tears were shed, thank you herby and austin for keeping tissues to pass out

Everything you said in this was so beautiful❤️ I was sad to not get to hear what you had to say as in your “secret” (unless they cut it because you didn’t want it revealed of course, that is 100% your choice) but I was so grateful to be able to hear the ways you supported everyone else and to learn about your experiences. I’m not sure what you do with your life now, but as a therapist, I just want to say you would be absolutely amazing in the mental health field☺️💗 I have worked with many clients with mental health disabilities of course but not many with physical disabilities and this video was so helpful to me to start to gain a better understanding of that experience. Thank you again for everything you shared!❤️

@@jesswinterthank you!!!! oh i said mine, they just didn’t have enough room in this video- they’ll likely be posting it on tiktok later!

Thank you for sharing such vulnerable feelings with everyone. You all were truly amazing people. I hope life keeps treating you well!

Thank you for sharing. ❤

Thank how much for sharing about your life, Rickey! I loved hearing about it. It is so interesting that you shared how you are afraid to live alone, and that you actually can’t, so you live with your parents. Then, I also noticed that you seem to elude confidence. I wonder if part of that is due to living with your parents and in a sense always having them in your corner, while many of the others are expected to become independent, and move out on their own. While you don’t have the independence that you desire, you probably always have that “village” that others would like to have; however, they are expected to be independent and at times, they do not feel supported. I can tell by your demeanor and seeming confidence that you were probably raised by supportive parents who encouraged you to do what you love and not to let your “disability” define you. It was nice “meeting” you today! Hugs!! 🤗🤗

Thank you for sharing. ❤

@@TheWorldIsMyOyster17 thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have such a supportive family, and I've learned to look at my condition not as an obstacle but as a vehicle to be a light and hopefully inspire

Fun fact I saw your comment the moment u finished talking in the video

you are a delightful person and showed so much courage, strength, and empathy.

Exactly how i feel too 🤝

Me too

I feel the same way, internet hugs to you ❤

Me too ❤

same, sometimes I'm afraid I'm being too dramatic or that I'm asking too much but I feel so alienated and helpless at the same time

🖤

Hear hear sending u love Austin❤

Mad props for stepping up. You're awesome!

Tell her often. Not here. She needs to hear it and would love to hear it. That’s very sweet.

@@MoonBeamLightyeah

I sobbed 🥹🥹

I wouldn’t be where I am today without you by my side! Thank you for being there for me in one of the most hardest moments in my life. I’m so lucky to have you “standing” by my side ❤ 🥰

If they're not diagnosed how do you know you have one? Genuine question.

What country are you from? I could understand your pov as well coming from a polynesian household.

@@altaccount9716 I think i misinterpreted your comment but maybe in their country since its not common for them to go to mental health facilities (or might be looked down upon) that they do the following, "grow up", "be positive"

@@altaccount9716 for some people diagnosis is not possible but there are enough resources to know what u have... if you constantly feel bad i don't think it's harf to tell something is wrong

@@tyzchillin Interesting. I'm from Zambia, in Africa.

You are a brain in a bio-robot. Get your robot impaired and you have a disabled body. Get your brain impaired and YOU become disabled. Mental disorders and disabilities are no less serious than physical ones.

Yeah

how is bpd treated? just wondering your journey

@@Robzabest25 typically individuals with BPD will undergo DBT therapy and group therapy as well as trying specific medications that can help manage symptoms. DBT specifically is designed for people with BPD but it can also be used to help people with PTSD and other forms of trauma. It essentially teaches people who have not learned the skills of self-management and coping with their emotions, a way to manage and an opportunity to better develop their personality

I agree! 😢

That is so true dude I've seen so many hurtful comments

Ikr? ✨✨✨

I have epilepsy too, u def not alone, grand mal, tonic atonic i think, and absence, literally the only reason y I watched this video, gives me some motivation to try and overcome this annoying disorder

I also have anxiety and I know another person, who has autism, feel ya.

⁠@@theanubis8345I have epilepsy too and this video made me feel so seen😊

I’m sending you so much love and strength, rare diseases are a beast but you aren’t alone. Thank you for hearing my story❤️

@@katesterquell7035 Kate, and all, thanks for sharing!

I have a rare genetic condition that's incurable and related to that part (and your comment), as well. With genetic disabilities there's the extra trauma of watching your family members suffer from the same condition, knowing you can't do anything to help them and knowing that that will be your future. Anyway, hugs to both of you and anyone going through the same. I hope the next generations won't have to worry about these conditions the same way we do.

I have similar! Gluten intolerance is not or not often enough diagnosed that I suffered many years. In my case it was diagnosed by an accident. In Poland 1% of people has it. I think at least in my situation it could be by genes (and that I was obliviously eating gluten), cuz my aunt and grandma has similar symptoms, but didn't diagnosed to this day. I feel ya all 😢.

STOP!😭🥺🫶🥀

@@Livingdeadskeleton hey Austin :))

@@blueberrymuffin4921 hello.🙂

@@blueberrymuffin4921 hello!

Same!

I completely feel that! I'm physically disabled and have mental health problems too

🫶

🥹🥹🥹

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

I think most of us, no matter our condition, feel that way, at least at times.

I can relate. I'm crying through this video

@@CindySmith-vd7xh I ended up sobbing watching the video 😢

❤❤❤❤❤

I can relate also because I have Major Depressive Disorder, I’m so glad you feel seen.🙂🖤

@@Livingdeadskeleton much love to you ❤️ we're in this together

Normal people treat each other like crap. Is it better than special treatment?

I'm glad they invited someone who's clearly very empathetic and could read the other people well enough to know when they may need comfort. I hate the stereotype that people with ASD don't have (as many) emotions. One reason why I don't want to get diagnosed

The issue is most people with a disability would be fired if they were ‘treated like any other person’

@@Bringon-dw8dx I suppose? Depends on what disability and the severity of said disability- But I get your point

@@spulwasser Absolutely. I suppose it just usually comes down to people with ASD expressing emotion in different ways to neurotypicals. A lot of people on the spectrum do care, just some have trouble expressing that care in a way that neurotypicals can understand. Others like the person in the video have less trouble. But all around it is a silly stereotype.

I am the blind girl. Thank you. 🩷🤗

I agree

​May I ask, how did you go blind?

@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 My condition is called Retinopathy of prematurity. I was born early and given a lot of oxygen, and my eyes weren't developed. There are so many varying degrees of vision loss and blindness, and many different conditions that cause it.

@@preciousperezmusica omg you’re sooooo amazing i actually love u 🩵

I relate... Not in the means of work, but in social life.

💀

@@masonfroese2414?

It's actually disgusting that these weren't included on this, of all videos

For this video they are very accurate

y'all just gotta have a problem with everything

Thank you.🥹

Yep! I’m the mistress of kindness😉

You should also check out some non speaking autistic activists, Damon Kirsebom is one that comes to mind

yeah. matt is so cute, love him ❤️

Maybe they shared their secret but wished for them not to be included for wider audience? That is what comes to my mind.

Some of the cut secrets were posted on tiktok and Insta if you’re interested!

Yeah, Ikr?

Alas, they are running a BUSINESS and NOT a charity.

We did!😄

Love this 🥹

I agree infinitely!!!!

Literally just balled here at my job had to go to the bathroom

Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need

Yes, dr.porass. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Is he on instagram?

Everybody is so lonely. Hopefully society can make it work.

I’m disabled and my friend is also blind and we talk about this. She says she just wants to feel desired like her other friends, and that so often men will talk to her because they feel bad for her. But there has been a time when she described a scenario that sounded like the person really liked her, and she refused to believe it

@@LinseighOfficial Honestly, I think that people need to just take what they can get. According to today's silly rules, it is shameful to for non-disabled to date disabled, because "we" can do "better", but can we? In today's age, if anybody goes on a date, then it's a huge accomplishment. According to the silly rules, the same shame goes in reverse: it' shameful for a disabled person to date somebody just because the abled person feels sympathy. At the end of the day, I'd rather see loyal people get together to support each other, sympathy or not. Honestly, though, most people don't commit out of sympathy, so the issue is moot.

Its so courageous of you to identify as someone without a disability
