What is it

@LHyoutube 3 жыл бұрын

I'd say it wasn't so much a joke as a failure to understand the figurative expression 'What makes you tick'. Which is very common with people on the Autism spectrum. That's why his mother knew to rephrase it in a more literal way for him. He may well have added some humour to this failure to understand as well though.

@ABU Before I was diagnosed my life was full of questions and confusion. I had no idea why I stuttered, or why I was "weird", why I was different to everyone else. The day I got my diagnosis was the day all those question were answered. I now had access to specialists who understood what I'm was going through and know what to suggest. My diagnosis was the first step in finding who I was!

I have autism and I can’t go to a “normal” school because I get so stressed and angered to a point where I become violet then I’m the one to blame when it was people purposefully getting to that point of stress anxiety anger fear ect. And I’ve stopped going to special needs school because I’m not learning anything and all it does is give me anxiety because there’s still to many people at least they’re nice this time. But there’s no point if I just get anxious. My mum is now in the process of trying to get my careers to find a private tutor so I don’t go jobless... they won’t listen.

I'm so glad Ryan got the support he needed though. Things are better now that I'm at university though, once you're in a place where you are properly supported it makes all the difference.

I have to say your comment is very inspiring! Although you had a tough time at school i’m so glad you’re doing better at university, my nephew has Aspergers and I’m worried about him being bullied next year when he goes into high school, kids are cruel and he gets triggered by loud noises too, especially the hand dryers in the toilets. Hopefully things won’t be bad like they were for you. I love hearing how people overcome bad experiences.

@ratums0199 2 жыл бұрын

At school is different then being at home. Some kids with different abilities don’t want to go to school because it can be over whelming and the parents think that’s the best for them and they think they will get bullied because there different to everyone else. It takes time to learn. To the people who think it’s ok to make fun of someone grow up and keep it to your self because one day it can come back to you and your upsetting someone and you don’t realise it .
