Only method that ever worked for me

Best explanation of alexithymia I’ve seen/heard! Thank you

I'm sorry you went through that, that really sucks. It's great that you shared this though so people know how difficult it can be. I'm glad you were able to get a daignosis in the end! I will never understand why someone would choose a career with the purpose of helping people who they have so much contempt for. It's like teachers who hate kids. Why did they choose this career?

Woah thank you! Its so nice to see somebody understands!

Beautiful programme such insight understanding transparency and empathy <3 many thanks big love

❤

Hey...😮 i was 1 year old and I'm diagnosed...

Why you guys don't make a video of the solution?? Everyone is making video about the problem... I really want to get out of my intrusive thoughts. I can't make it.thus i am progressing downwards on my studies. It is even hampering my daily day to day tasks

I love your art work

I have all 3, I think. But now I'm not sure.

I find it very hard to not feel pessimistic about being gay and on the spectrum tbh..

I'm actually binging through your videos, keep going

Just love Tracie, an inspiration!

I think Tracie is just amazing, what a personality and talent she has shown us. I love Digby's paintings, they really speak to us and he catches the essence of characters.

Im still astounded by Tracie. What an amazing woman ❤

This was awesome. Thank you so much to the parents who were honest. My son has recently been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, hes also on the spectrum. Due to SEVERE bullying at high school. Its doubtful hell ever live independently. At this point, my grief is overwhelmed. However, that's of no help to him. These vids have given me a glimmer of hope regarding a way forward. Bless you all 🙏❣️🇿🇦

Thank you for this ❣️🙏 Just wanted to say your cinematography s beautiful 😍

Actually, since there are 92% of social denial (in France) it means that 92% of the population have cPTSD, cause denial comes from trauma : and they deny it not to suffer from the symptoms. This is crazy Ness. Biggest sick people denying being sick and pretending everything is normal whereas we are literally living in a crazy world. And even in our government papers it is written that a study shows autist have 4 times more risk to get cPTSD because we are more sensitive, than neuotypic people living in traumatic apathy and it's denial... (Audhd+hpi+ cPTSD & expert in psychotraumatism here)

How can a credit card company get away with giving a card to someone with a disability when they do not have the legal ability to enter into a contract?

I just call you: gorgeous ❤

I love the advocates!!

The Nazi argument is just stupid. Oh no, a German who lived in Germany at that time had something to do with the Nazis. What a surprise.

Why hasn’t my psychiatrist mentioned this yet. I swear there’s so many more symptoms than stereotyped adhd

The only late bloomers we hear about are the "acquired savants" who became that way due to a traumatic brain injury or near death experience. We shouldn't have to endure such an event just to unleash our true talents.

Im sic

I mean i would rather have been diagnosed with a fatal disease than with autism, death is better than a bad life

Disgustingly ironic considering lack of understanding/agreeing with social rules including "political correctness" is extremely common in autists. There should be extra allowance for not conforming to these arbitrary rules, not less.

I sympathize with you a lot. First, I'm sorry you experienced a "know-it-all" type of doctor. What I've found is that for autistic people, they have a hard time pinpointing their emotions, so when this doctor is telling you things and your brain is saying, "That seems odd, where is he going with this" it's actually very common that you wouldn't be able to trust your gut instinct in that moment, and only later after logically assessing what happened, forming a emotion or feeling it later is very common/normal for autistic people. When I say normal I don't mean it's easy or good, but just how a standard autistic person functions/interprets information. ALSO, something very important I've learned recently, is that a neurotypical doctor, more importantly a psychologist, will try and assess things from a neurotypical perspective. That's because neurotypical people's brains function this way, and I could even link you to this video I'm referencing but basically, if you want the best help and you believe you may be autistic, it's actually really important to see a doctor that is also neurodivergent themselves. Because their brains will function very similarly to yours, and with a neurotypical person, being that there are way more of them than neurodivergent ones, makes it even harder to find someone compatible for your special interests. Also, sometimes it can be harmful for a autistic person to receive typical treatment because their sensor's are different, their processing is different, and their approach should also be different. And if you learn how much the typical doctor learns about autism you'd actually be shocked that it isn't a major study in their field. This also means, that as an autistic person, (who doesn't have any physical signs of being autistic from the get-go), you will face more challenges, even more traumas than an average person because of this huge struggle with misconceptions, neurotypical doctors, and a lack of in depth knowledge of autism from all sides. So, at the end of the day, it is better to spend more time and money possibly to find a doctor that is neurodivergent, and specialized in what you're seeking.

hmmm sorry you had to deal with that behavior. For some reason it gives me a feeling that this guy has autism himself, probably had late diagnosis and hasn't been able to make his peace with it, so being faced with somebody seeking a test triggered him? Obviously could be very wrong, but that's just the feeling I'm getting

Great video! not just in the context of autism but I can relate a lot with the last few years of struggling with epilepsy. I'm In one of the clearer stages of consciousness I have been in now that I was able to get on meds. Anyways your video helped me a lot so thank you ! much love!

Bro this video was amazing

Thanks for posting this, and congrats to your consistency and persistence on your RUclips channel! All the best

Awesome man

Holy cow it makes so much sense now. I recently in my 40s found out I'm autistic and then I came across alexithymia. For the longest time I thought maybe I had anti social personality disorder but then realized I didn't because I do actual feel emotions I just try not to show them in front of other people except my wife and kids. It makes me very uncomfortable. Its so bad I have a hard time receiving gifts, saying thank you, saying your welcome, or people telling me happy birthday. I also get very anxious at funerals. It's strange because I really enjoy giving gifts but can't stand receiving them. I guess because giving them I don't have to be very emotional. With receiving I feel like im not reacting in a way that shows that I actually appreciate the gift enough or if I do show appreciation I fear it might come off as fake or over the top even though it is sincere. I was so confused for so long. I didn't know I I was normal, if everyone felt the same. Then I realized not everyone felt the same as me. Then I was scared I had antisocial personality disorder. Then I ruled that out but still didn't have any answers until now. Thanks for bringing some clarity. Maybe some close friend can help me practice expressing emotions until I feel more comfortable. I often feel like im coming of rude even though that isn't my intention at all. It's really frustrating.

im not gay but im autistic im straight

I absolutely Love this!!! Fantastically encouraging!!!!

How do I meet guys like you? I'm a gay man demisexual. Sex means nothing until I'm in love. I'm 35 and have never dated... how do I not be alone the rest of my life?!

Perfect analysis. Thanks

Yup...

Mental illness

Not EVERYTHING is a form of stimming. Dudes a dumbass

Limerence seems like stalkers

So what's the treatment for a dual diagnosis like that?

You have nice teeth

I am autistic and gay. I totally understand and get you. I feel this way 100%

I remember one time i was setting up one of those old fashioned mouse traps and i was terrified to set it down and let go and i kept repeating "what if i cant" like a broken record

Yes! Especially if it's funny or just hits the dopamine button

Holy shit I didn't know this was a thing. I thought I was just weird

Oh boy, you nailed me with the gum. 😱

I am a gay man and only over the past few days now at the age of 57 have been listening to youtube clips as to what defines autism and I pretty much tick every box. It's something I never thought about before or considered, or indeed knew anything much about. I've always known there was something very different about me be had no idea or definition as to what that could be.
