I just want you to know that I have been going through this same kind of awareness and researching the same kind of stuff. I went back to college to study Interdisciplinary Studies. Originally I wanted to combine philosophy, Jungian psychology, and neuroscience with a focus on consciousness studies. I learned about my own neurodivergence while researching how to get my son diagnosed. As I was researching ADHD and Autism for him, I saw myself in the things I was reading. Then I researched for a correlation between AuDHD and INTP personality type because it explains so much about who I am and how I learn and what I struggle with. That is how I came across you. This was very validating.

Well, I have got an appointment to be diagnosed with Autism. I have taken five different online self-diagnostic tests that indicate 1005 that I am autistic as well.

great at editing wish i was

I feel like this NT society trains us autistic people to behave as codependent

Thank you soooooo much. Your content is amazing and thank you so much for not swearing/cursing at all in in this, it makes things so much nicer to hear great content. ❤🙏

I have autism, cptsd, codependency, really low self esteem, ect. iv accepted at this point that some people just are not built for relationships and Im one of them.

Intp is rare, female intp even rarer and then we have adhd😢 i looking everywhere in youtube talking about this. Finally meet you. Thanks a lot❤❤❤

oh dear where did Sarah go? we miss Sarah

Have you tried morning star sizzlers or fake bacon. It is not bad.

Hello, I am Jen. I am an INTP and was diagnosed at 50 with ADHD. I have been thinking that I may also be on the spectrum. I also have CPTSD. I was misdiagnosed as BPD and Bipolar when younger. I have always felt completely misunderstood and struggle with relating to others. I have always felt like an alien. I did however, relate to almost everything you said in this video.

I can relate to you❤ single mom as well no family and yes it’s hard

I absolutely loved this video I relate to your personality soooo much, although my situation is the opposite I’ve lived in the same house for 20 years and accumulated a ton of stuff but I found a bed bug so I’m trying to get rid of as much as I can and finally just move out so I can be in control of my environment for once. I am excited tho to get rid of uncomfy clothes I used to mask and random junk I don’t need anymore, to finally be free!

Thank you for this.

Did it work? I also have complex PTSD and had a SGB block that didn't work. Dr is suggesting 3 more blocks.

Well doneMs.Sàrah

I relate to so much to what you said. I just started to realize how codependent I was a few months ago and joined CoDA groups online and I’m working the steps now. While in the middle of that discovery I also realized I’m probably autistic as well and have now bought all the books lol. It’s amazing to look back on certain things in my life and be able to directly connect those events to being autistic. It’s a relief after feeling wrong, alien, defective, for 39 years to know that there is a real reason I feel different but that nothing is actually wrong with me. It will take some time for me to accept that I’m fine the way I am. Thanks for this video ❤

This is getting even weirder, very very similar in a ton of way AND both have alien blood?🤯😂

Thank you for doing this, you say what I feel a lot (and I’m a Sarah too lol) and I’m just getting started watching your stuff….awesome so far though👏👏

Earl Grey in the morning ..... love ❤️

I also have autism and adhd and i am an intp-t. And i am sagittarious. We are quite alike huh. I also am very good at drawing.

Sarah, are you ok? Is there anything I can do for you?

It's understandable you'd want to be better for the kids, but Nobody is perfect Sarah, we're all only human, don't try and be Perfect, cause that's a perfectionist OCD thing autistics will fall into and it's IMpossible, ok?

I"ve never heard of this treatment Sarah, sounds dangerous though.

❤️✌️❤️✌️

💖

You're a trip, Doc.😎🍩☕👽

Very interesting. Me as a male I got diagnosed recently at the age of 28. After 3 years of highly intense research in the psychological scientific literature about autism, narcissism, other personality disorders and about developmental traumas, I came to the conclusion, that masking "outside" indeed can generate a co-dependent personality disorder, which not only includes being susceptible to narcissistic abuse in all kind of relationships - specially when raised in a narcissistic family system (like I was) - but as well cultivating compensatory and defensive affective reactions, which definitely falls into the area of pathological narcissistic or even secondary psychopathic traits like borderline-states. The etiology of both disorders is rooted in the same dysfunctional family system - just the chosen way out differed. The problem is, that adding autism into the calculation, it becomes - in my eyes - a multiplied predisposition, cause of its own issue with masking, for total other reasons than in a classical outlook without autism. So for me it felt like, growing up just with women in the whole family setup, which aren't on the spectrum, but with npd - feeling horrible my whole childhood and teenager-time, as well as now in adulthood (until recently), I was somehow the mistake. But not just because of development of cptsd, but also because I did never know how to help myself when I was working 25 hours shift at times and then couldn't talk anymore when I came home or didn't feel really, that my feet was broken when I worked at a nightclub bar, came home and my shoe was full of blood. And therefore I got blamed again, that I wouldn't take care of myself and I acted like a baby and stupid to not being able to care for myself - just one of millions of examples. Of course I wanted to make it right, me as well I wanted to be good and respected like all the girls in my family system, I tried the hardest way and was not able to know about the cruelty of the behavior, because I in general didn't understand much of social interactions - but I was an extremely talented actor, copied gestures, looks, language, ways of walking, which I saw in all my life from people, which somehow were well respected. I learned about clothes and brands, about to know about football games and formula one results and all that stuff. I was thinking, that there is just this world. Well, I lost a bit of my red line I guess. I think being co-dependent as an autistic person, diagnosed late in life is the norm. Nowadays, after six years of a really horrible marriage with a true narcistic wife, which tried really to fragment myself to the core and make me sick, I made it. I'm out, but still - in a work environment I still find it difficult to mask and on the same side not being co-dependent, because I still sometimes don't know what other people are really thinking about me and then try to figure out for half an hour what to say the next time when this person appears in my bureau. That's still codependency I guess. But if this person is a manager, I shouldn't allow myself, that he/she could think bad of me, because I want to keep my job - that's the bias I want to underline. How to be not co-dependent, if you can't really interprete accurately, what the other really wants from you or thinks of you, while that is not a problem of being co-dependent itself, but a typically autistic problem situation. I don't really know, if this comment even had a red line. At least it's my thoughts about that topic. Thanks for the video.

Thanks I know how difficult these things are.

Awesome show, thank you 👍😊🖖💓

I'm not saying the electronic glitch was aliens, but it was 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

I Love the quote "Be yourself as everyone else is taken." I do get where you are coming from.

Hi Sarah. I find your videos quite hard to watch because you seem to live my life experiences but at 10 times the speed. Maybe that is the ADHD bit? But I totally get where you are coming from. The end part was very moving. Thank you for sharing.

Coffee Kay if you see this message. I will be posting the links for everything we discussed down below as soon as i get them. The cards are sometimes for free. It showed the comment late but i will be posting them in the discussion box below soon.

Awesome video, thank you so much 😊 I truly enjoyed the entire interview 👍💓

Only magic mushroom coffee!

😎🍩☕👽

Sorry I missed it. DANG!😁

YOUR ADHD is onvious but charming

Omg i lobe the daria shirt, i have the sick sad world mousepad

Sorry i missed this live. Yeah, my dad believes that if you talk about anything you'll get it. Particularly mental things, this is appearently a scientology thing, he still believes. VOLDEMORT, LOL

Hey Doc! I saw what you did to the alien squishy. I've been thinking about you and how you're holding up. I wish I could heal you. Hopefully your life will smooth out for you. I will try and monitor your channel Wednesdays at 1:00 pm. I missed ya. I hope that squishy had no voodoo power or the greys 👽 will have issues with you. Take care & God bless💖💖

Thanks so much, Sarah! I also had a codependent parent who used her issues to abuse me and my siblings, so I really needed to hear your message today, as I've been really struggling with my own codependency issues here lately and it's making my anxiety and neurodivergent sensory issues worse, so I been lookin for some advice on codependency. Love your content and can't wait to watch more of your channel!

This was too perfect. I've debated forever if I'm really an intp. Been debating istj to. Because I have adhd. And it makes me feel so unsure of myself. And when I clicked on this and saw your ears I started laughing cause I'm listening to this on my elf earbuds. 😅👏💛

good choice, my wrists are tiny too, and often very sore from sleeping on them.

I use a Luminox navy seal with a bezel I can spin, or I lay in bed watching the glowing Tritium arms spin.
