My eval starts tomorrow and this is the most helpful video I've found. THank you so so much for making this!

I have that ❤

I have question over if i have baby when i have mild austim i am worry if i give my own children my austim.

My cousin is asleep but I put the volume up a bit to hear your beautiful voice ❤❤

Your vlog has inspired a lot of people and you should keep it up.

I have a sensory bag it has a grufflo teddy the mouse teddy and a witch a the grufflo books

I be feeling at ease or something

i love that rabbit <3 <3 your sensory bag covers so much, and seems like it has all sorts of fun things in there.

i’ve never been able to fully understand why i have moments where i want to physically cause pain to myself. it usually happens with anger or frustration, ive also noticed when i get super excited i’ll start punching myself, but i wont hit nearly as hard as if i were in one of those moods. i try not to hit myself in super sensitive areas, i usually go for my legs, but sometimes my face gets some ‘love’ too. if i cant help it and i do it in front of my parents, i hear, “thats not normal whats wrong with you” and thats an awful way to respond to your son banging their head on the floor, and probably one of the reasons why i cant pinpoint where this behavior stems from at the moment, but ive done it since i was 4 and im 19 now so im not sure. im very good at hiding my anger and frustrations around other people, most people have never seen me angry before but it happens almost every day!

Yup this is the reason why I busted 2 RC transmitters (DX5C) and I had to upgrade to the DX6 Rugged which is like $50 more, but it can take a beating. Because I realized if I kept getting the cheaper transmitter, I would end up killing them and having to replace them every few months, which I don’t have money for.

Becoming a new adult with autism your videos are a huge inspiration and help my worries thank you so much Savannah and I’m so happy with the house

Sounds like it's been a busy time for you and your family, thanks for the update 🙂

Your video has given me food for thought. 😊

Congrats Savannah! ❤

Hello, great to see you 😊

Congratulations on buying your first house!

It's lovely to see you back. I have been watching your content from nearly the beginning. God bless 🙏

Thank you so much for courageously posting your assessment here. I just had mine done 2 days ago and I'm still reeling from it and overthinking EVERYTHING! It's very interesting and helpful hearing people talk about their own evaluations and seeing the suggestions they gave you. I already added those books to my cart and pausing and reading through the advice has given me a lot of good information to work on (even though it wasn't meant for me, I totally relate). I know this was posted a really long time ago but it's still valid and really helpful. Thanks again!

Omg! I always said I don't have hand stims. But this is exactly what I do. Thank you for uploading this! I don't do it as intense, but it's still there. I always tried to make it seem like I was stretching.

I have my sensory headphones my aunt got them for me they are gaming headphones but I use them when I need to in loud situations

I am diagnosed with adhd and sensory issues and dyslexia I am very sensitive to noise and have to be doing something with my hands and have to have headphones or ear defenders c

Where did you get the keychain that hook on to clothing

This is so good! Is that an autism diagnosis via the NHS? It's so lovely to see you're a Christian too. Thank you for all your explanations. Many thanks; Catherine xxx

Hello Savannah. I'm currently looking for work, it's awfully hatd, especially when there's no support from the government with helping neurodivergent individuals like me getting back into work, or doing training courses.

I have been waiting 3 years to even get a call I honestly think the NHS is a failure

I believe I have adult ADHD and have filled out a couple of forms and handed them back to my GP so i can be referred. They said they would contact me, but I have not heard anything yet. Did it take time fir you?

Can you please to more sensory toys video

do only autistic people stim? i stim too but i haven't been diagnosed with autism

great selection💗

I'm waiting on ADHD & ASD assessments myself so on my journey I've found a few accounts on RUclips and nearby. First off with employers and employees, Exceptional Individuals have a youtube and fb and help ND with Job assessments? Then there's other YT accounts, The Aspie World, he's in wales and has adhd & asd, there's an Autistic Minds LIVE Llandudno 2024 on May 10th, and there's Sarah Louise Walden on YT, I'm autistic, now what? on YT, Mollys ADHD Mayham, YT and Yo Samdy Sam, hope it helps x and there's me a random stranger on YT rsd kicks in lol. Claire x

Thank you. I've just started the ball rolling and have a phone assessment this week. 🙏

Because we're ugly garbage.

Thanks for sharing you experiences with RSD, I never heard that term before and now I am educated. I can greatly relate to what you are going through because I am dealing with very similar issues, I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome as a kid and all my life I've struggled with handling being rejected, being berated, being guilt tripped by family even when I was being a naughy boy, I am very lucky I've been able to hold down a factory job that pays a bit above minimum wage as I have an understanding boss as I have many meltdowns there but I am starting to become a liability and my workmates are starting to become scared of me on how they approach me when they need to be stern with me, it's most particularly difficult when I am prestressed because anything can set me off in the moment! Throughout my life I fly off the handle when someone yells at me, I literally hit myself as punishment when I know I'm in the wrong, whenever I stuff up and upset someone it plays on repeat in my head and I struggle to let it go, I overreact a lot when things go wrong and equipment malfunctions and have tantrums whether it be verbal profanity shouts or throwing objects to the floor etc., I get very defensive when someone tells me off even if I am in the wrong and afterward when I calm down I feel guilty afterward, I can either get very angry or cry when I get berated or get criticised when I'm incredibly prestressed, I catastrophize a lot fearing bad things fearing criticism so I struggle to want to apply for new jobs, ask women out, communicate with strangers etc. , I am hypercritical of my flaws, and the list goes on and on, and it continuously harms the quality of my life! Sadly I have a very bad temper and yell and have tantrums which makes it difficult for me at work and at home, thankfully I an automatic self control which I will hit walls, break malfunctioning stuff but I won't hit people, that I am thankful for! So yeah I feel like I have a massive challenge with this issue along with other issues associated with my condition and I am desparately looking for a solution so I can function better! One technique that has helped me a little bit recently is the 5x5 breathing method which is breath in for 5 sec hold breath for 5 sec breath out and repeat it 5 times, did that at work the other day when a job got ridiculously difficult for me and I was at boiling point and yeah I calmed down! Anyhow that's my long winded story on my struggles with RSD which I am confidient I have it!

Amazing video upload, I appreciate you for sharing! Enjoy your day, my new friend Savannah👍❤

Yey! Welcome back 🎉❤

I also have autism and i have a SIB that RULES my absolute life and i cannot replace something with it at all that brings me the same level of ‘calmness’. I basically scratch my skin CONTINUOUSLY all day every day when im overwhelmed and stressed. I can go hours without doing it but then other days i dont leave myself alone and my skin weeps regularly and i get infections. I feel like no one can help me at this point which is so scary to think. Im in denial and put it down to my skin feeling like its itching but to be honest its anxiety that causes it.

Sorry to hear you've had these difficulties - I can't imagine how you juggle all these responsibilities as well as being neurodiverse. The workplace can certainly be tough for someone with autism / ADHD, especially if they've had a break from employment and are trying to adapt to new routines and requirements. Fortunately it seems your diagnosis saved your job. There are a lot of people who are neurodiverse but either have no diagnosis or haven't declared their diagnosis and they could be treated rather more harshly. Changes in rotas / timetables or other working situations can be especially demanding and are something employers should either avoid or provide more support for neurotypical workers although I suppose they might argue they can't always do so.

Hello Savannah, you're looking well 🙂 Sounds like it's been a stressful time for you lately, I know the feeling of being stressed at work because I went through a similar situation last spring at my work. I walked out without even working my notice because I reached my limit, I hid my autism from my employer which I guess I shouldn't have done, but anyway it ended with me walking out. I hope things get better for you. Have you thought of maybe adding a section on your channel where people could donate some money to you? I'm sure there are people out there that would gladly like to give you some financial help, and maybe that would enable you to only work part time rather than full time? And hopefully relieve some stress for you. Just a thought. Take care Savannah.

Ive had a very similar experience years ago but wasnt diagnosed with anything at the time. It sounds like disclosing your diagnoses has been a major plus for you. Could you talk more about that? Like when you disclosed it, during interview or after contracts were signed.... is it common knowledge to everyone or just managment and have you experienced any downsides?

Don't be sorry. You've been swamped and IRL is more important than youtube.

Oh bless you, sounds like you’ve got a lot going on. I really hope you get to the top of some of these waiting lists soon x

That’s kind of a ripoff bc, at Kmart in Queensland I got a 12 pack for $9

Christmas is so stressful for me. We go around in a circle and open all our presents individually, which I love, but I unwrap them without ripping them. When I was younger I used to cry if it got ripped. Now, people just have to forget about being impatient lol. The meal is the biggest part for me, though. I'll be constantly trying not to cry whilst eating it, and I've sometimes gone to forcefully throw it up. Not in an ED way, but I just feel so uncomfortable with Christmas dinenr food in my body. Now, I have 5 - 10 minute breaks when I need to, but I don't let them go over 10 mins because I still love Christmas and my family, but I try to find balance. I also ask everyone a routine multiple times a day a few days before Christmas and annoy them all 😂

I am so tired of banging my head on things. It doesn’t happen that often but I keep doing it when I get extremely frustrated. I have so many random methods of self harm that when I try to not follow one urge I just do another. I want to stop doing this.

i get frustrated a lot to

Wh smiths do big ones

3:03 Your vocal stimming sounds are lovely.

Recently in the past month, my nose will just start itching for hours. And I dont know what I did to deserve this torture. It drives me mad. I yell, break things and hit myself it wont go away

Hey guys im 30 work part time, ex self harmer here , still feel like self harming , i used to slit my wrists and i liked it to be honest .
