    As someone with Autism seeing her kid behave the way he did was rough. He stims using his car toy, and his hat, he feels uncomfortable being around unfamiliar people and is brutally honest not because he wants to be mean but because he doesn't understand how it's rude and wrong (social etiquette, social ques) he has meltdowns because he's afraid of change because change in the environment (his routine) scares him. And Rocket loves him she doesn't want to see anything wrong with him but, her approach isn't great either she needs to let him get help because it won't get better overtime, if he doesn't it'll just get worse he'll be made fun of and, bullied for acting out or being different. Everyone on the spectrum is different in their own ways he seems to be high functioning but, he needs help to learn how to navigate social situations and learn social awareness, it's something people who don't have social problems take for granted, it's hard to socialize with people. You don't want to hurt people but you end up doing so because you don't understand what or why you said what you said was wrong it sometimes feels like you're living in a different world altogether and sometimes it feels really, really lonely. Rocket looks like she's gonna go down a route of caregiver burnout and that would be really, really hard to watch.

      Man. It's rare I ever hear of someone who has autism like me. I got asperbegers on the spectrum. Some of this reminded me of my childhood. Only instead of screaming like that I would be quiet unless A LOT of stress built up. Since I was quiet, I often asked whatever adults were around questions in whispers. Biggest emotional outburst I ever had was mild crying from confusion and unknown things. I mean when it's ANGER, hoo boy did I ever lose it

    I can totally relate to that because I was on the spectrum before, it wasn’t until I was 10 that I started to get a better handle on it and watching a bunch of anime actually gave me the courage to change things up a bit. Amistad got a long tough road for him

      Anime helped me to, but I had a different experience. While I do have Autism, I'm not that high on the spectrum so I wasn't diagnosed until I was in high school, since my family always moved around that also factored into it. But my parents and teachers knew I had a learning disability they originally thought I was ADHD so they did constate tests every time I went to a new school it was frustrating. So talking about Autism and seeing it here with Amistad does make me feel a bit uncomfortable since I can relate to the struggles with school and socialization but I didn't experience everything to this degree like Amistad so it makes me feel like an outsider when talking about Autism

    So idk if this was intentional either but it’s a known fact that the black community doesn’t handle special needs kids well. We’re told to push it to the side and keep it moving cause it’s a “white folks thing” but the reality is that it doesn’t work like that. Rocket not fully accepting her son having autism is a perfect example of that and I hope she can learn to work with it and accept him as he is.

    @mariosion 2 года назад +62

    I see some of Amistad in my younger self. I have a mild form of Asperger’s Syndrome, which was recently removed from the spectrum I believe. The fact he can’t handle small changes (like then they had to get off at 17th instead of 16th in this clip) really resonates with me as I couldn’t handle small schedule changes at school, but I worked through it and now I’m WAY better off now than I was. I also needed an IEP too, not so much in High School, but it was still there if I needed it. I had lots of supportive people at my elementary and middle schools who helped me get through it all, and I hope that’s what Amistad gets too.

      Not every autistic has the same classical signs like Amistad, so it makes sense. I certainly wasn't a screamer, but I did get anxious when there was a change in routine, so I understand where Amstead's panic screaming is coming from. It's the dreadful feeling of being vulnerable or in danger for something we can't see yet feels like it's right behind us too.

    The opening scene really stands out to me. I'm black and have Aspergers and a learning disability and my mother had me when she was 18 and had to raise me and my two siblings as a single mother. The train scene brings me back to when I was 7 and an elderly women told me to get something from my step dads father. He asked me who are you getting this for. I didn't know her name so I just flatly said the old lady out loud. I wasn't trying to be mean I just didn't know what else to call her. Thankfully she took it well and laughed it off but my mom was mad. The woman also made me really uncomfortable with how rinkally she felt ever time she touched I would always avoid her like the pledge. Please bare with us we don't always know what we say and how it affects people and certain things can really bother us to a larg extant especially when we're kids.

  • @Bostonterrierslol
    @Bostonterrierslol 2 года назад +27

    As stated here, Amistad is shown to be very intelligent for his age (I’m guessing 4-5) it’s just a struggle for him to adjust to social situations, very common. It may even be a form of Aspergers. Autistic kids are shown to process information differently than we do, some even faster than normal, but they adapt to routines that are familiar to them and don’t feel comfortable when deviated from this (the wool hat, the train stop, the insistence of having his toy cars be upside down) and from there new information can be processed. If I had to guess he probably doesn’t respond to foreign touch well, excluding his parents, very common for young ones on the spectrum.

    • @girl1213
      @girl1213 11 месяцев назад

      Yeah, it's shown for moment that Amistad is aware that he doesn't actually need his hat and was willing to go through the door without it, but it wasn't part of his routine and got scared. He's in a very confusing time of knowing a logical course but an overwhelming feeling of sensations he doesn't know how to adapt to beyond what he already established.
      God knows that was my struggle with my own brain growing up with Aspergers.

    I'm autistic so I can understand this. But he's farther along the spectrum that I am with Asperger's. He clearly wants to be left alone to do his own thing when he doesn't need to be somewhere; yeah, I get that, having just wanted to play with my toys as a kid. If things didn't go my way as a kid, I didn't scream unless I was VERY angry or stressed. Instead I would be grumpy and complain in a normal octave. He sticks to a routine his parents set up? Yeah. Familiarity is a thing autistic people need; makes us feel comfort.
    I mean when you get yo be an adult, you can kinda flip it on and off with your angry responses and then go back to being calm; emotional control is something that takes a lot of years to get a grip on. Your irritation has ceased so why keep being upset.

Also if I was Raquel I probably would've handled each of the situations a bit differently, however my wife who is a black woman with ADHD herself informed me about the realistic portrayal of the Black Community's reaction to any kind of mental disorder so I understand where she's coming from now.

There are people who have other conditions in the world that may not always be able to immediately adjust to a random kid's wants/relief from temporary discomfort. Some people have medical conditions which cause odors despite efforts to reduce them. While a person may be able to not use perfumes/scented items, you may be in route home from the gym and temporarily smell sweaty or have helped/worked with another person or items that were smelly and be trying to get home for a shower.
    Yes, some adjustments can and should be made, but there has to be some effort to meet in the middle because communication involves multiple people.

    She's scared for him and doesn't want him to be bullied or mistreated for something he can't control, but Noble is right to tell her that Amistad needs help, like any child. Regular teachers can't give him what he needs, which is patience, when they have 20 other kids to give their attention to. They are not trained to. They're only human.

    WARNING: This is LONG
    This makes me question how well Amistad will be able to make friends; I know from experience that it's hard to keep friends if you keep changing schools because you have autism.
    From 2000-2005 (baring in mind 3rd grade was 1999 for me), I was sent to schools in different towns because my home town didn't have what I needed to help with autism; until 05 💢. I was barely social with kids in my K - 3 classes, but I did my best to be friendly whenever they talked to me. I didn't know where they lived or their numbers; this was back in the day of landlines mind you. So of course I didn't spend time with kids my age outside school. A few of them kept close because they were also my sister's friends, and usually hung out with her.
    It just broke me after 5th grade, when left for middle school in full in a different town; I had to leave my new friends from 4 - 5th behind, never to be seen again. In 2004 I told my mom I would rather be dead than have to constantly lose friends. And that got me back home.
    Downside? My emotional maturity was five years behind the rest of my old friend when I got to high school. I didn't have a social group to help me grow, since I always spent all my time alone; most of what I knew about social interactions came from all the cartoons I watched (of course I could tell what was goofy slapstick and what was normal) regardless I was still emotionally a child in a way. So I couldn't tell the subtle things and was honest unless I wanted to avoid trouble.
    So yeah. I kinda fear what this kid is gonna be like in his later years.

    @boitata2617 2 года назад +3

    As an autistic I feel a bit divided on how to view this, on one hand I like the representation, and for a good part it's accurate, the need for routine, the stim with the toy car, the way he shows affection with taps, social akwardness, unitentional rudeness, even how he eats the biscuit, it's all a bit relatable.
    On the other hand I dislike how they show it being only a burden, seeing the comment section I saw people talking about him being "high functining", a term many autistics's are that fund of, some people saying that they "used to be in the spectrum" (if you are born autistic, you are gonna be autistic your whole life, it's how your brain is). And an overall view that he will have to get over it, fix it and the whole "Rocket is so brave for dealing with it, super-mom".
    Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, and I know raising me wasn't easy, in part because I am autistic, sure, but mostly because I was a child, what I am trying to say is that being autistic means you are a bit different, but the whole screaming, outbursts and meltdowns aren't are part of it per se, yes it happens to autistic people, we get overwhelmed, but neurotypical people can also get overwhelmed, specially as kid.
    Like I said before if your born autistic, you are going to be autistic for the rest of your life, there's no cure, because it's not a diease, does the child need to learn somethings to live in society? Of course he does, EVERY CHILD DOES, that's why we have schools, and why parents teach us, no kid is born fully capable of sustaing themselves, and knowing how to integrate themselves in society, sure being autistic means he is going to have to learn how to integrate that part of himself as well, but every human being has their own indivualities, their aptitudes and limitations, that they also have to learn how to best integrate in their life, some people are forgetful and make a bunch of notes on calendars and alarms, some people hate doing dishes so they buy a dishwasher, some people don't like driving so they choose to use public transport, it's normal.

Things do get better for me. I strive to be seen as the person I am and not the disability I grew up with since my childhood.

      Two possibilities: how he shows affection towards his parents

    That completey turned me off of Rocket. She was such a cool (albeit too late) addition to the team, but by season 2 we barely see her cuz she joined the League, and then she's a mom so we don't see her at all, and then they give her this plotline that started good but ended up stupid and didn't really change anything. I know the whole thing with Orion was supposed to maje Raquel see how she was initially reating her son and help her sea things from his perspective, except it didn't do that AT ALL. All it did was pretty much justify her iffy treatment of Amistad in the beginning, and made it seem like Autism can go away with the push of a button, just like Orion just immediately was all good when Motherbox did its thing. It made me feel like tbe message was "Autistic kids are a handful. Hang in there moms!" When the actual message should be "Moms, take time to understand your child, no matter what they're going through" just like Highmother was able to calm Orion down, because she knew what was wrong, and knew how to handle it instead of just yelling at Orion like Raquel did with Amistad
