It's not your hair. It's how you speak that reminds of younger trump.

What is the difference between autism and narcissism?

Every time I chat with someone on whatsapp, I copy their way of texting. So if they use emojis, I start using emojis and so on. I had a friend call me out on it once lol

OMG! This is exactly what I have been thinking! ❤

The system doesn't have what it needs, and family so rarely lives up to the bare minimum.

This is especially not fun in England where there are so many accents. There’s practically a different accent every 10 miles. And I have one Mexican parent and one Irish parent.😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Everybody does linguistic convergence to some degree, BUT it presents DIFFERENTLY in autistic and ADHD persons im a way that may be conceived as weird: If I talk to a person with a different dialect and manage to talk in their dialect straight on, they might be flattered. But if I switch to their accent in just one sentence or half-sentence, they might feel offended, especially if I repeat something they have told me just the moment before.

We moved to the south when I was in kindergarten. My mother said I was in the room for 5 min with the lady in the apartment rental office and the first words out of my mouth duplicated her accent to a tee. My mom was afraid that people would get angry with me for it as if I was mocking them. I don't know it is happening unless it is pointed out.

I’ve had a few relationships break down due to honesty. One person flat told me “no-one can be that honest”…when I asked for the same level of honesty I, personally, demonstrated. So, people obviously can. I do

Have a look at Dr Rachael Gunn's doctorate thesis. There are others who clearly think she's a breakdancer. Without her awards, she'd not have been there. If you think she's not a breakdancer, put it on them. When the ABC reported it, it sought the opinions of a couple of "experts." The Australian Afro-American't biggest beef seemed to be that white people, not just her, are appropriating "Black American Culture." Like we have with Negro spirituals and jazz. The world has adopted jazz, and extended it. If that's not allowed of breakdancing, then it has no place at the Olympic Games. Was she skilful? She herself said she knew she had no chance of beating the others. PS As an autistic, I think making fun of/bullying others is not a good look.

My accent shifts like crazy.

34 biracial woman. A couple years ago I saw a video or two about the matter and kind of wrote it off. But in recent (past 6 months) times, I also believe I have ADHD. So I am a very atypical, high functioning, so it’s really not going to be easy, but thankfully I have my assessment coming up next week. I only had to wait a month for it, but it is 200 for consult and evaluation. And that’s with insurance. I plan to write down my symptoms to hopefully help the evaluator.

I'm great at looking at the camera.

Eeeeeeeeeeee

10:24. Listening to your video while feeling a decent amount of anxiety right now.

Plenty of bullying, didn’t get to me too much. It did enough to be upsetting. I remember parents of Sunday school kids I was in class with were always talking crap about me, shaming me and my mother, just generally being condescending. Adults bullying a child. Incredible.

Linguistic convergence with the elderly: quieter and more relaxed/unengaged + talking ponderously, and like how people talked in the 60s tv shows I grew up with.

The accent thing… fuq… I accidentally did that at an Italian place, the guy looked so unamused and I felt awful. I was like 14.

Linguistic convergence is why I picked up the habit of saying y'all even though I'm from the south of England and it sounds very weird in a British accent. Basically I had an online gaming friend from Texas for years. Whenever I talked to him I started saying "Y'all" a lot the same as he would, and it went on for long enough that it just became a lifelong habit.

1 min in and only clownery so far. Pass and adios.

So this is whatss screwing with me....omg!

Those of us adults/ 50's/ undiagnosed/no health insurance/lost- need help finding Dr. /resources...

I have been in burnout for over a year, and can barely function, but I can't get away from my abusive family because I don't have the energy and much less the money to do it. It's a vicious cycle of me being more exhausted every day and them being angrier at me that I don't get better. I am so tired, but I can't get out of it. Don't mean to be a bummer, just sharing for scientific purposes I guess🤔

The FIRST thing I do when I get up is start the coffee. I drink at least a pot a day, most of it in the morning, and a cup of left over coffee in the late afternoon. This, on top of my Adderall, which I take with the first sip. After at least an hour, I begin to come alive, and the next couple of hours can be the productive part of my day. Since I'm retired, and live alone, I don't have any real obligations, except to my own peace of mind. FIRST, attend to my little dog's needs, then wash yesterday's dishes, sweep or vacuum, sort some clutter and find a place for it, OR, stay in my recliner and binge KZfaq. Usually the latter now, since depression is also a factor.

If an old friend of mine was offered water, he'd say, "I don't drink water. Fish f'k in it."

When I was finally (at age 70, or so) diagnosed with ADHD, and began reading about it on the net, I had an epiphany that was like the proverbial veil lifting. SO much of my life was explained by that research. "Bill does not pay attention", or "does not apply himself", was written on most of my report cards. I could read at a high school level when I was about 6 years old. BUT I maintained about a 'C' average. While teachers were talking to the class, I'd be drawing dinosaurs. I flunked out of my first year (only year) of college. I failed even the courses in which I was truly interested. I'd cram the books just before final tests, but was totally lost when the exams were given. In work environments, I could NOT multitask. EVER. I told that to my last boss, and her response was "Yes you can!" I was so used to being shunned and ridiculed by jr. high that I wasn't able to recognize that, now and then, some kids were trying to befriend me. We were poor, and most of our clothes were bought at thrift stores. I remember very well when one boy said "Like your pants!" They were a hound's tooth pattern. I rolled my eyes and said, 'Right.' He said, "No, I mean it, man!" Later, I ran into him at a HS reunion, and he treated me like an old friend. I missed out on SO much, being lost in my own thoughts most of my youth.

I would never let it come out when talking to actual people, but I talk to myself in solitude A LOT, so when I was watching Doctor Who during the 11th Dr’s era with Amy Pond, I started self talking in Amy’s accent for a good while. I also tend to lightly mimic other people’s affects and dialects sometimes.

That's interesting, thanks. I'm not diagnosed with anything, my cousin & a nephew are. Watching this video (& others..) I suspect I may have some minor traits, as in everyone has different neurological traits, just some more than others who may have a diagnosis. I am from the UK, & grew up in a multilingual family with multiple dialects from my grandparents after WW2 all converging where myself & my siblings were born. We were all born South of London, living & going to school & seeing family living nearby, between Hampshire, Surrey & Kent, with my father & other family working in London. One grandmother was Italian & spoke multiple European languages as a language teacher, who taught me French & Italian growing up travelling to Europe every summer. My mother's father was from Lancashire, so even though he had a respectable educated English accent ocassionally he would argue with me about how to pronounce "book" purely because he had grown up with a heavy Northern accent, whereas my accent was Southern which was more London / home counties. My other grandparents were originally from 2nd generation Scots & Irish living in London, so their accent was London, almost cockney. My mother had also grown up half in Italy, then Wales, then gone to university in Liverpool, studying Italian & Russian, maths & art history at university. My mother's accent therefore was the most variable, which I always found one of her most endearing qualities. My own linguistic skills growing up therefore exposed to multiple accents & language pronunciations from an early age, means my linguistic range is quite varied, & I often observe myself mimicking other people's accents subconsciously to mirror them & connect with them. One time it got me into trouble, I got my 1st job at 14 working in a supermarket in my local hometown, as a cashier. I was friendly & chatty to all the customers, then a guy from Liverpool turned up one day, with a large shop, & started chatting away to me in a Liverpudlian accent. After growing up perplexed at my Lancastrian grandfather & my mother's accent that was all over the place growing up, now a fully fledged Liverpudlian was in front of me chatting away to me in full swing Scouser style, the language part of my brain couldn't help itself but mimic him without my conscious awareness. Every word he said, the words came back at him in full Liverpudlian mirrored copy. He then accused me of taking the Mick (making fun of him), to which I did protest muchly, yet again, still in a Liverpudlian accent. He actually started to get quite agitated like he was going to get into a fight with me. So I just apologised & shut my mouth & carried on putting the prices in & told him my mother had been at university in Liverpool so thankfully he calmed down. That was the 1st time I realised my brain tends to naturally mimic accents without specific conscious awareness. I've found since when I speak with Irish people I also slip into an Irish accent as well. It happens with other accents & languages to greater or lesser degree including Scots & some English accents. I speak Italian, French & Arabic & Spanish as well, so the language part of my brain is always interested in anything linguistics related. I watched a talk the other day by a CIA guy talking about the brain. He said the language brain is connected to the social brain & connects to the creative brain, so often tends to play with words & sounds & make up stories & play with noises mimicing & mirroring sounds to echo & blend into its environment as a survival mechanism. In relation to some of the words mentioned above in the US, I thought I'd also mention in the UK we say "shopping trolley" for day to day English usage in the real world, but evidently with the internet & international shipping the virtual "shopping cart" is also commonly known here too now in the virtual domain. As for "coke", it's a caffeinated drink served in takeaway outlets & used the same generically for both Coca Cola, Pepsi & other brands as well as being the name of a class A illegal drug sold by & consumed by gangsters. As for the beverage, it would be never called soda or anything else over here. Here soda water is sparkling carbonated water, or we have baking soda, bicarbonate of soda as well as cleaning soda flakes which are all different chemical compounds, the latter being toxic & used for cleaning drains. Calling a drink "pop" is just an alien term used by alien Americans in alien kids TV programs maybe... ✌🏼👽💻

I have it linguistic convergence and moving around every two years in my youth didn’t help. Previous accents would spontaneously come back at times and I would readily adopt the accent of the new locale.

I do this when around people in close conversation. but ONE day, I casually asked another shopper about the veggies he was standing near . Ive often confused people at first instance who think Im some sort of foreigner or exchange student. This guy, started asking me about where i was from , and where Ive lived. I confessed that people think i have a strange "accent" and he corrected me. His interest in me was because of my ( in his words) "Distinct Lack of Accent"! He was a linguist or something, and he could tell where people were from based on how they speak. Apparently , he couldnt place me , and it was so jarring that he decided to keep the conversation going to figure me out. I guess I start out as vanilla and become as spicy as my speaking partner.

I've done the accent thing. never on purpose. Other students thought I was making fun of or kissing up to our Indian Teacher in our Economics class because I asked questions after class cuz he made it so interesting. I didn't realize I was doing it. But I've had lots of praise in my language classes and when I went to Japan, I had people overly impressed with my Japanese speech and mannerisms. I was mirroring people without realizing it. Japanese coworkers thought I was dating someone Japanese because of the things i said like a native speaker, and less like a gaijin.

Steve Urkel from Family Matters FOR SURE

My kindness for her is pushed down because she committed fraud and kept good dancers from going through to the Olympics.

I've done that all my life. And have never had a problem caused by it. I also find I pick up languages quickly as well. It's probably because I automatically pick up nuances of pronunciation easily.

What makes these characters autistic coded? (Genuine question)

Uh... is there an appropriate time to wet the bed? I was under the impression that the time for that is "ideally never"

What About The, Characters, From The Film, "The Royal Tenanbaums".?! "Barton Fink", Maby Aswel.?! "Grand Budapest Hotel"-Hotel Manager. THE Three Stooges, Maby. "Steve Siszhou", Film Chasing Leapord Shark, Starring Funny Guy, FROM Caddyshack. Ghostbusters, Original Films, Basically Everyone. Caddyshack-Owner, Roger, &, Groundskeeper.

I grew up long before Internet, but I was bullied a lot the oldfashioned way.

When I meet people from Sweden or Denmark, which languages are similar to Norwegian, but still different, I talk standard Norwegian instead of my daily dialect, just to make me easily understood.

Every autistic/ADHD trait can get you in trouble

I spent a month at a health care centre many years ago, and a lot of people in my group were from the northernmost part of Norway (I'm north Norwegian too, but from further south.) I talked with an accent for a whole week after returning home. I'm not diagnosed, but two of my kids are diagnosed with ADHD, and one does not have a diagnose, but he seems to be bordering on something, perhaps autism. I do have a diagnose of bipolar disorder...

Some people need that slow talk to help me process and understand things because I am lower functioning.

"You" is used in this comment in the form of the "proper use of English indicating the universal you". I want to make a point - there is no difference between adhd, add and autism. its all different spots on the ASD. I hate using the word 'disorder' because in my mind, you regular people are the most 'disordered' beings ever. you hate it when we speak truth. You hate it when we pay you the highest compliment of unconsciously mimicking you. you hate it because its our innocence that causes these things and you've lost yours and will never get it back. you sold it. willingly. and now you want us to believe one thing is many so you can stick us on all kinds of drugs - trying to "cure" who we are. if you want real mental health help - take magnesium. not just one pill one time a day. its an electrolyte. eat it like candy. you wont need to eat mushrooms you found under a pile of cow poop.

The increasing disordered society is a function of the declining IQ - which is measured across the total population. You may find that comparing ND to NT there is a lag in the ND decline compared to the NT decline.

There is also a profound difference between those who were not diagnosed and recognised (by society) before 1995 and those who did after 1995. The strategies for 'dealing with' a neurotypical society are different. This leads to different thinking of the two groups.

lol coffee, I have a commercial/domestic machine and go through at least a half kilo of beans a week 😋

Years before I suspected I might be audhd, I struggled with this, and now I have a name for it. Thank you! I once caught myself mimicking the accent of a filipino friend of mine. We had been talking quickly for hours, and I only noticed what I was doing when it was getting harder for me to speak. I apologized and explained that was just something weird I did and we laughed it off and I forced my voice back to normal. He said it was so gradual of a change that he didn't notice until I pointed it out. My parents don't have much of an accent to speak of, and on my normal setting, I sound like that (think boring white people lol) but I now work with someone with a very strong, deep-woods southern accent (berenstain bears) and when I come home, it takes a while to spit that out. So weird looks, yes. It does cause some confusion, and it can be annoying to me sometimes and probably to others, too, if I didn't actively fight against it. Also, I live in Loxley, Alabama. I've heard, soda, pop, soda pop, coke, cola, or co-cola. 😆 I guess we're in a weird versatile spot.

I have a couple of observations about linguistic convergence: (1) I suspect that it's natural for everyone, because it's an unconscious way to make sure we're "on the same page" when communicating. Indeed, when my wife was a missionary in Scotland, she met someone who loudly refused to "soften" his Scottish accent for others -- but she noticed, as the conversation went on, he *naturally* softened it in the conversation, to better match the American-ish accents of the young women he was talking to (accents that undoubtedly had been converging to Scottish over the several months they'd been in Scotland up to that point). (2) I'm not 100% sure that expectation is the *sole* reason to explain how accents move towards matching the sounds. If you can pick up that "aye" is being pronounced "ah", and you're asked "what is this tiny coin?" it's only natural to pronounce it "dahm"!

I’m an ADHDer Who is starting to suspect I may be autistic. I look back at my life and see how many times I was scammed out of money And the many times I just trusted people at their word and didn’t even consider ulterior motives. This video really helped me see some lifelong patterns that I just thought were because I was defective somehow

All of this happened to be when was young, then as an adult my relationships were all abusive (extremely). I do not trust anyone any more but my own daughter. And I have not had a successful relationship, so I am alone. I am self diagnosed after finally being adamant about finding why I am such a mess of a human... Turns out, I am actually doing really well considering. So there's that.
