Brilliant video Charl. Thank you for sharing 🧡

That was a perfect way of putting this and I truly would of loved to have you as a friend growing up...because it was hard trying to make friends and hards not even a way of describing it

I sure don't look like it but when tested was a lock in autism +dd.

Thank you so much for this as it really helps me

This sounds like me having a rant at ATOS.

I'm going for an Autism screening soon and was thinking "I dont have it, I'm over reacting" but you've settled it for me. Everything you're saying is me. Thank you for making this .

I once asked my therapist if I could be autistic. And she told me I couldn’t be autistic because I could express my feelings. Autistic people couldn’t do that. I now have a diagnosis at the age of 47 because I didn’t listen to her.

HOLA PRINCESA RUBIA CABELLO COLOR DE UN TRIGAL, HOY TE VI POR PRIMERA VEZ EN MTV Y ERES PRECIOSÍSIMA INTELIGENTE Y MUY PROFESIONAL CON TU ARTE DEL TATTOO ❤ ❤U

Hmm a lot of big fancy words used here. I'm not sure if I have this particular issue.... I do struggle to remember when people ask me to do a list of things - by the time they get to the 3rd item on the list - I've already forgotten what the 1st one was. I put this down to the fact that I don't really want to be doing those tasks - i'm not invested in it and therefore my brain simply ignores it as being not important (comparatively to other things that are concerning me).

Wow you said so many great things in this video. I'm 50 and just realised that I must have Autism. Over the last couple of years I'm finding out so much about myself. I discovered that i'm a HSP and an INTJ - I didn't even know these things existed before, but knowing that it's a thing and that other people have it as well is helpful.

Just Subscribed, have been watching Aspies World on and off for a bit now, but after watching the video you guys made 4 years ago, this morning. I have never felt like I have agreed so much in my entire life. I just turned 30 in June. Nobody can figure out whats wrong with me. I always felt like Im not normal. Crazy how you guys make more sense then any of these doctors with diplomas!! Literally crying tears of joy rn. Ty! would love to chat if possible.

What app do you use? Sorry if it’s in the comments. You and I both know the energy it would take to read through all them, unless hyper focus sets in!

You’re a gorgeous inspiration! My daughter was diagnosed at 14. With diving into what is best for her and educating myself to help her… I now have an EXTREMELY high suspicion that I very well might be one and the same (but different of course). I’m 56!!!

How do u recognize if ur masking if its completely unintentional? my psychologist thinks i might be autistic and high masking , iv got to go get a diagnosis soon but i feel like i need to understand it before i go in but i just dont understand, i dont know myself and i dont think i act but i honestly dont know and its so confusing and hard to recognize masking and the other symptoms wen i feel so disconnected, would love a video about this <3

Totally relate to public speaking- it’s the worst!! If I had a bunch of money, I would start a school that was neurodiverse-friendly!

Have you all looked into how autism in children sky rocketing in the US? ..👀 it is crazy.... Thank you for your vulnerability sharing. This will help many people

I loved your last comment.. giving advice to your younger self. I will share this with my 13yr old who I want so badly to just be happy and thrive in life, in her own way. You are incredibly gifted!!

Charl - is it more helpful for you to have less stuff in your home space?? My daughter LOVES knick knacks and her special treasures.. but her bedroom becomes chaos and I feel stressed in there. . I want her to learn how to get her stuff in order on her own, but then I wonder if I am expecting too much from her? Should I not allow her to have so much stuff in her room? Would it benefit her to have less stimuli, or what are your thoughts??

I hope you make some more videos soon. I love your eyeshadow.

❤

When people say I don’t look autistic I ask them to elaborate. “What does autism look like?” “Why couldn’t I be autistic?” I genuinely want to know their answers because therein lies the biggest barriers to overcoming the stigma we face.

I agree we need to be recognized earlier, but as someone who was diagnosed with adhd and given medication from the time I was 7, if they don't explain to you what the diagnosis means and how to handle it, you'll still develop unhealthy coping mechanisms, you'll just know what you're coping for. We need early detection and /education/ and /support/.

Please keep making videos. They are great.

❤️

I am so happy i found your channel Charl. I can relate so much to your childhood that it is scary. I am so sorry about the loss of your daddy at such young age. Imma subscribe and keep myself notified of your updates. Thank you for your viss, it helps me coping with my (undiagnosed) spectrum. Stay strong ❤️😍

Im a 6"3", intimidating looking man who's a competive powerlifter. On the exterior you would never guess I have ASD. I look tough, and I've been treated differently by people throughout my life just because of this. I am the complete opposite on the inside, so sensitive and empathetic. It can be hard for me in that regard. I'm expected to act one way but I act in another.

I have to admire you for making these kind of videos. Having a disability is hard on people who have them. For me, laughing and keeping busy make me feel normal. Keep making these videos please. 🙏

How was your experience in school? I'm asking because I help pupils in a secondary school in South Wales. We mostly have boys but I mainly help one girl as well and will probably learn from your videos (which I discovered through another RUclipsr dealing with this topic).

There are some advantages of being diagnosed late because if other kids know you have something different they may treat you like you're weird. If you don't know you have something quite so different you may feel you fit in more.

It is so cool to hear you talk about things I see in myself and my daughter. I always loved tiny objects and toys and she does now too, she is always the boss of games that her friends play she makes the rules and tells everyone what to do, I like your videos and hope you make more someday:) you and aspie world and mom on the spectrum, you guys help me feel confident in knowing my daughter and I are autistic and connecting our life experiences to your life experiences through the internet is a blessing ❤

Yesssss!!!Thank you!!!! I really needed to hear that.

I relate 100 percent but I have never been diagnosed and got told I prob will never be because I am an adult. But it is starting to make sense.

Glad to of found your channel ❤ This is something that needs to be talked about more and understood more. Thank you for sharing your story ❤ masking is exhausting and I’m now seeking out more about myself since my children are showing signs of this. ❤

Your not the only one. Watching this was so empowering!! Thank you!

"those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter" I like that

Who thinks the kisses at the end were not masking? Me 🙋‍♂️

How are you doing?

I have trouble/feel awkward looking into people's eyes because I feel that they think I'm searing them with my eyes...Even tho I have a smile on my face, it feels like my look is too strong or that im looking into their soul. An Interview for example. Am I doing this right?

Thank you so much for putting this out there! I'm so glad to finally be finding so many people sharing such relatable stories. I always knew there were many things seriously different about me but didn't have the knowledge until after I was 40 to realize that I was most definitely autistic. It is comforting to finally have the words to understand and express my own lived experience. I'm a bit hesitant to tell my folks though because of the perceptions I knew they had about autism and such when i was growing up.

Thank you SO much for this video! Very well explained, thank you xxx I'm waiting for my 11 year old daughter to be assessed for autism. School cannot recognise she's masking at all!!! 😡😡 I'm so grateful to you for this vid. Best wishes, Rachel xx

I struggle being not able to verbalise in conversations and at other times being able. I have secret melt downs, things people don't see as I mask. My own family don't believe I'm autistic despite harrowing experiences in school. I never spoke to even answer the register for years or spoke to anyone because I'd just loose the ability. Family like to cherry pick moments while I'm masking or point that I've been out drinking so can't possibly be autistic, not knowing the hours of procrastination it takes to even get ready, and the 3 day burn out after doing pretty much anything where there is noise. There's always a mum who thinks she's expert who'll compare your autism to her child's, or people who say you are attention seeking. It's saddening because it's debilitating yet so hidden and no one believes you, people's lists are endless. Can't be autistic because you smoke or have had boyfriends ect... its awful to try and get people to understand

I do get some of these myself. Like the distraction part, happens at the worst of times too. I even forget to lock my front door.

I never seen you before but Really enjoyed you on someones channel he had you on I finally seen it and I am old and Masked all my life, I raised a family Made a family masking from June cleaver, and others on tv. My mother wasnt someone you can follow or Father so I made up my own Parents who I should be like. Nothings wrong with you We all deserve to come out... to be ourselves. Oh on top of having a Fabalous Family Raising children they are so Awesome they are that Great TV family ON top of that talk about a Great Acress I went to Beauty school to suport mysef because I did want to help others when my kids got grown. I was a great hair dresser now I am back alone got more disabled and just stay to myself though I have tried married a 2nd time that ended horrible he abused me bad the ER viisit was the last of it, thanks to the Doctor and Police and D.A. I just totally please people and be try to make everyone happy... no worries about me. Its a Real Thing, Ive always thought it was a gift ( yes a Gift) to be who ever you need to be what kinda specturm is that do or have you ever heard or am I like your saying I try to understan. thanks cindy

To me, honestly the best come back to "You don't look autistic/ depressed/ neurodivergent/ disabled/ etc" in my opinion is to simply shrug and go: "Well, you don't look like an ignorant person, and yet here we are" because, as rude as that may come across, I simply do no longer have the spoons to justify or try to educate everyone else around me anymore. I have heard this type of comments so often that it has legit become a PTSD trigger at this point.

My daughter is 2E and didn't start to show signs until 5th grade that anything at all was a concern. It took 2 years of therapy and waiting 7 months to finally get her in to a neuropsychologist to finally get her diagnosed at 11 years old, she has both level 1 autism and inattentive adhd. Once diagnosed we realized she was a master at masking and I can only imagine how difficult it was for her. Now that she is diagnosed she is embracing being ausie, it comes with many struggles being in middle school but there are several resources that we are using to help her manage. I really appreciate you putting these video's out because it is helping me as her mom to understand how she feels and how things are for her, only another ausie would be able to explain this to a neurotypical.

I got my daughter tested earlier this year and she has Autism and ADHD and I see everything you are saying in her when dealing with social issues. The before, during and after anxiety and exhaustion. It is heartbreaking because I can see how drained, and sad she feels knowing that people do not understand her or how to communicate with her. I have been searching for channels like yours so I can understand what she is experiencing because often she isn't able to put it into words. I don't want her to feel as if she has to pretend to fit in. I want her to be able to be herself and for others to see what a smart, kind and loyal young lady she is, at her own pace and ability to navigate the craziness.

I am completely blown away by how much I relate to your experience. I am 17 and always thought I had only social anxiety. Art was my escape from the world too for when I turned 13 I got completely obsessed with psychology because I was soo extremely confused by how other people function and why I was so different and felt so out of place it is only now that my psychologist gave me a book about autism in females that I understand what has been going on all this time. And I am relieved beyond the stars for potentially have found an answer and that I don’t have to force myself beyond madness to fit in and desperately try to be like everyone else.

I've been diagnosed with ADHD... And my symptoms are scarily similar to yours. The meds don't work for me, so I am wondering whether I'd been misdiagnosed 🫠 ...or I have both
