  • Undiagnosed autism can feel like a lifetime of invalidating experiences, gaslighting us into 'feeling' like we must be going crazy. Our everyday reality seems unbelievable, and so we are forever misunderstood by a world that cannot comprehend any other way of being. Discovering the Autistic Community feels like 'coming home' to a place where suddenly our experiences are 'normal' and we can be accepted for who we are.

    // WELCOME TO ASPERGERS FROM THE INSIDE!!
    My name is Paul and I discovered I have Aspergers at age 30.
    If you're new you can check out a playlist of some of my most popular videos here: / aspergersfromtheinside
    Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this blog, because if I didn't show you, you would never know.
    As the name suggests, this channel is devoted to giving you insight into the world of Aspergers.
    This blog started off being just my story, but I've learned SO MUCH about my own condition
    from meeting others on the Autism Spectrum that now I make sure to feature their stories as well.
    I've come a long way in my own personal journey.
    Now I'm sharing what I've found so you don't have to learn it the hard way too.
    -----------------------------------------------
    // WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS BLOG
    You can expect me to get to the point with concise useful information.
    I focus on what is most important and don't shy away from difficult topics.
    The best way to learn about Autism is to see it in real life ( i.e. via the stories of many, many people on the spectrum).
    In this channel I endeavour to show you what Autism and Aspergers look like in real people and to also give you some insight as to what's happening on the inside.
    I upload a new video every weekend with some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
    There's always new stuff coming through so be sure to check back and see what you've missed. (Is this where I'm supposed to tell you to hit that subscribe button?)
    Topics Include:
    - What is Aspergers/Autism?
    - Aspie Tips, coping strategies, and advice on common issues
    - Learning Emotional Intelligence (this is my special interest!)
    - Autism in real life: stories from special guests
    Everything I do is and endeavour to go deeper and take you 'behind the scenes' to understand what may, at first glance, seem 'odd'.
    oh, and I love busting stereotypes and turning preconceptions upsidedown :)
    -----------------------------------------------
    // ABOUT ME
    I discovered I have aspergers at the age of thrity.
    It has been my life's mission to understand these funny creatures we call humans.
    My special interest is a combination of emotional intelligence, psychology, neuroscience, thinking styles, behaviour, and motivation. (I.e. what makes people tick)
    My background is in engineering and I see the world in systems to be analysed.
    My passion is for taking the incredibly complex, deciphering the pattern, and explaining it very simply.
    My philosophy is that blogging is an adventure best shared.
    -----------------------------------------------
    // EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING
    I also run autism friendly online emotional intelligence training. So if you like my direct, systematic style, and would like to improve your own emotional intelligence skills, check it out here:

      I think Asperger's is part genetic disposition, (marked by higher intelligence) coupled with an early exposure to artificial chemicals and heavy metals when the brain is developing. The heavy metals break down neural connections as they try to form in a neurotypical format, forcing the brain to wire around the damaged areas. Welcome Asperger's, ADHD. That's my theory.
      Even if we clear out toxins and heavy metals, the brain wiring (pathways) are formed. Detox won't change this

      That makes you either an autistic or a scientist.
      True scientist knows that nothing is truly black and white and there are no absolute things in realitity. Mathematician can invent absolute abstract things but that's an exception allowed by not being limited by reality.
      Some things may have 100% (rounded) or 0% possibility of happening but that is different from "always" or "never" or "impossible".

Growing up whenever I was "difficult" my family would say Carmen's just being Carmen. Translated Carmen is being an asshole let's ignore her. So naturally my relationship with my family is not great. Thankfully now I have a fantastic husband who is my greatest advocate.

      Thank you for saying this. I'm 49 and recently self dx. I've baffled myself my whole life on how I can, on one hand, be a really hard worker and, on the other, be so "lazy" and get little accomplished. Now I realize I freeze when I get overwhelmed. Not lazy. Just overwhelmed. So I'm learning (slowly, I admit) that I have to break tasks into tiny parts in order to make progress and move forward. Still frozen and overwhelmed? Then I have to make those parts even smaller. Often, once the ball gets rolling, I surprise myself by getting much more done than I thought I would. But, I now know that I have to start with teeny tiny steps first. 🙂

While environment and diet can make symptoms worse for those with Aspergers/Autism they are not the underlying cause. Autism is a neurological disorder. This is why people on the spectrum often have unusual responses to psychopharmaceuticals such as being hypersensitive or having no reaction whatsoever. The idea that an intestinal parasite causes severe, debilitating, neurological behavioral symptoms that affect all areas of social functioning is just absurd. As far as I can find out there are NO psychological symptoms associated with intestinal parasites other than feeling tired. One would also have to assume that every single kid who has Autism also happens to have a pediatrician who is so incompetent that they don't notice signs of intestinal problems which is equally ludicrous. My bowels are just fine and have been my whole life.

    My ex-best friend once told me I was "being insane" for having trouble with social situations, even after I explained everything I possibly could at the time. That hurt, a lot, and was the cherry on top of the many other ways she had treated me like I was weird. But discovering I was autistic as well as avoidant helped reassure me she was wrong, she just wasn't doing what she should have done to try to understand me.

      She should not have done anything different: it would have been nice for you, but not true to her. Don't expect other people to cater to your needs just because you are autistic, that is not what they are there for! (and it does not matter if you are autistic, a snowflake or the emperor of China: people are who they are.). I am glad you found someone who is more compatible, but auties make terrible partners if they do not invest a lot in the relationship, because it will always the other party that makes most of the personal and social sacrifices to be with you.

    When I was in school, around 11-12 years old, the boys in my class decided to hold these polls during recess. “Who is the prettiest girl in our class, who is the nicest girl, who is the smartest...” everyone else (around 20 boys) answered the same and I was the outlier who answered every question differently. It was a weird experience but makes sense just like your example of chocolate vs vanilla example. I’m not sure if they had a similar concept of what’s pretty, or if they just followed the opinion of the first guy who said a name in each case. But it has baffled me. For nearly 30 years. I also got in “trouble” since the herd went on to tell the girls their opinion on class. “We think the prettiest girl in class is whoever, but Kokkonen said it’s this other girl”. So my opinions were shared verbatim which was kind of embarrassing. I hope the girls I singled out felt good about it. At least someone thought they were the prettiest, nicest, smartest...

When I get my allergies under control, I'm BETTER - but I dont think I'll ever fully understand the way 'normal' people react to things. Some respond well to anti-fungals (including me), some respond well to anti-seizure meds (like my friend's son, who actually had an undetected seizure disorder). Its just not that simple.

For me it was getting my sleep schedule back on track. Once that is done i can look for some work. Keep in mind i could not work for 2 years because of events that led up my diagnosis and the aftermath of realizing how much of my life was lost due to misdiagnosis.
      But now i am at a point i want to find a job and work within my limitations. I know when i was where you were, it seemed i was in a fog unable to see teen feet in front myself emotionally. It will heal in time.

I can finally forgive myself for all that, which is still a positive step. I still can’t work, and maybe never will be a to, but it’s no longer my “fault” like it was before. I’m still doing a major life process with my new lens of clarification, but that is a big thing to do too and I’m trying not to expect too much more than I can actually do in the mean time. Give yourself permission to be patient with yourself (easier said than done, of course). It’s actually a really big deal and a LOT of baggage to go through, almost like going through a dead loved ones things, it’s really hard, it takes a lot of physical, emotional, and mental energy. And it’s a process. It can’t really be rushed if you want good results later. 💕💕

    I was diagnosed this year at 27, and you honestly gave the best advice up until my diagnoses. I started checking out reddits amongst the autism community to see if I could relate. Once I was diagnosed, I started posting to these communities, and all I can say is where have these people been my entire life? I struggle to communicate with other women the most, and all of a sudden I'm having full blown conversations and relating to other women on the spectrum. It lets me know that it wasn't ME, and I'm capable of making female friends too!

      I am 54. An official diagnoses is not very probable for me. My family has not said they predicted my self diagnosis but I have been amazingly accepted. But I do want the diagnosis because, while ASD feels right, really right, I also wonder if I am delusional and "reaching" to fill my hole. And if the official, professional opinion is null, I would be no worse off.

      "I wish we lived in a world people felt they could be open about their autism and be comfortable being themselves"
      Yeah...well, kinda tough to keep wanting to talk about being autistic or your autistic experiences throughout life, if people just keep ignoring you. Tried to write about my experiences on several autism videos...no response. And the fucking irony...I come here, look at ALL these comments, which resonate strongly with my experiences and the way I feel, and what do I see? Likes, replies...like, what the fucking hell is going on? I could write even the same fucking thing, and I would still be ignored. It doesn't make any sense.
      Oh, and don't get me wrong. I'm not always talking like I do right now. I'm just pissed that whenever I try to talk about my shit, there's dead fucking silence. _ANYbody_ else talking about their experiences with aspergers? A whole fucking train of sympathetic, emotional, motivational, funny comments/replies. I just wanna bang my fucking head into the table. It's borderline-driving-me-nuts.
      Just what the fuck. 😒🙄😣😞
      I don't even have the strength to try and talk to people about autism anymore. It just feels like I was fucking cursed to burn and fucking rot all alone with this god damn retardation, or however I should call it. Cuz it's definitely not a blessing, and sure as fuck not a superpower, like one of the guys in the comments here stated.
      I guess I also "wish" autistic people could be open about their autism...but what's the fucking point, if we get to be picky about shit. Sure, I understand. Nobody _has_ to reply to anything. I get that, but if you try to talk for so long and literally NOBODY replies, you start to feel like you don't even fucking exist anymore.
      I saw a video of Samdy Sam (another autism channel) ...she talked about people who self-diagnosed and then she proceeded to divide people into "actually autistic"...I was like ...no fucking way. So now even autistic people discriminate against those who weren't able to get "properly" diagnosed? What a fucking crazy world. Like there's no way to find support or help in any way. It's just fucking nuts. Dunno what else to say. I'm tired of this type of bullshit and human hipocrisy. You can be autistic, but you cannot diagnose yourself cuz then you're not "actually" autistic...prolly making shit up, right? And...therefore...you don't belong to whatever fucking community, that painted itself on the forehead, to be supportive to X but not Y. Just blows my mind, really.
      Maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm just so fucking tiiiiiiired of being autistic, so worn out and tired of it, and all the problems it causes....so...so...tired of it (and since this shit is neurological...I can't even get rid off it, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay).😶
      Just...fuck. Dunno what to say, cuz I've already said it a billion times silently to myself, since there was nobody willing to listen anyways, no matter where, no matter when.
      *Fuck* "Aspergers". It strongly contributed to ruining my life.

      RUclips comments have algorithms that make certain comments seen by more people that they think will generate the most reactions. So it's really possible that your comments just get buried to where they aren't getting seen as much. Same thing happens on pretty much all social media.

I know the video you're talking about, and it made me prick my ears up, too, honestly, but I'm inclined to let it slide just because I like a lot of the other stuff she has to say.

    Even though I am neurotypical, I can relate to what you are saying. With my husband having asd we live quite an isolated life as he has withdrawn from people. Due to our different ways of thinking I have felt like there is something wrong with my brain as he questions what I'm thinking or perceiving. Quite often saying I'm incorrect or making something up. It is difficult to feel sane when there are no like minded people around. I have learnt that it is perfectly alright for me to have a neurotypical life and that it's not betraying my husband to have a world I spend time in outside of our marriage. I wish he would reach out to like minded people as well. I think he feels very alone and misunderstood, I respect who he is and how the world runs for him, but I don't think it is enough for him to feel truly understood.

      Yes, though it could also be "only" one; the difficulty with early childhood trauma is that a lot of the symptoms are similar to a child's autistic telltales.
      So, to work through it you'd need a good therapist - ideally specialized in both - by your side.
      There definitely are autistic children growing up in bad circumstances though! (Perhaps they were even mistreated more due to their autism or couldn't deal with it in a way their siblings did... - so many factors to consider)
      Tl,dr: Yes, it's absolutely possible.

Hadn't I stumbled upon your channel, I would never had known that my struggles to relate and understand people was rooted into autism. I am, as they would say, late to the party. Got my diagnosis just as I turned 37 (three months ago).
    I discovered your channel about a year ago, since then I've read up on autism and that just made the proverbial ball running downhill at a stupendously fast pace.
    I've always felt different to other people, and that, was made very clear to me when I enlisted into the military. That's when I had my first revelation on, that there is something going with me that doesn't conform the standard norm of society. Hated school but wasn't bothered when attending either. It was just a place I was supposed to be in, during a certain amount of time, during the day.
    Was always described as somewhat of an air-head, living in my own world and I should just get my head out of the clouds (that was putting it nicely).
    And since then, your videos has been a huge support for the understanding of myself and further development. Thank you.

    Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I just had a complete meltdown after feeling so alone and misunderstood. My sensory issues have been getting really overwhelming. I was literally pacing around my room saying "I'm not crazy" over and over to try convince myself. Watching this video helped a lot more than me trying to convince myself. So thank you so much.

As I was researching and reading for him I was noticing this is me and how I have felt since I can remember. Now I’m working with a counselor who specializes in treating kids and adults for this. So I’m feeling very excited, vulnerable, anxious and curious all at the same time. I watch your videos to feel validated, calm and apart if a tribe until I can go to in person groups for support.

    I'm self diagnosed, now 44. Getting a diagnosis here where I'm from was too much of a hassle and cost for me a few years ago at least. But I'm glad I know for myself now. I had a boyfriend a few years ago who's on the spectrum also, and it was like coming home. For both of us. I'm really hoping to meet up with more people on the spectrum, but there aren't any meet-up groups like that here and I don't have Facebook, otherwise I would love to join! I'm just really glad I know for myself, and yes, I live pretty much like a recluse, even before covid. But thanks to studying spirituality, I've learned to love myself and not think less of myself because I understand that diversity is necessary for evolution :)
    I really chuckled at your trying to stay on topic or sticking to a script comment there lol, that's something I have to actively be conscious of all the time!! I'm from Brussels, but sometimes I wish I lived in the UK, just because of the access to more meet-up groups irl. You sound like you're from down under though, but not sure! Anyway, thanks for being an advocate for an often unseen group of people.

    I got diagnosed at a year ago, almost to the day, at 49 1/2. My Shrink asked me, "Has anyone ever told you that you are Autistic"? My reply to her was, and I am being 100% serious, "F*(k you, lady! You're Autistic"! I did not handle it well, obviously. I was not willing to accept it. I was truly angry, though I still do not know why. I guess the stigma of it bothered me? I am honestly not sure. I just know I was genuinely fighting mad with her.
    Do you know what I did after I walked out of that appointment, mate? Since I already spend a large amount of my free time on RUclips, I looked up "Late Autism Diagnosis" and found this channel. I watched your channel, and others, for 50+ hours straight, no joke. I got up for food/drink/bathroom breaks, but was otherwise up for almost 3 days straight from the morning of that appointment until I got too tired to keep watching yours, and others, Autism related RUclips videos.
    I could not believe what I was hearing and seeing in video after video.
    I could not wrap my head around hearing my thoughts, my struggles, my life, coming out of your mouth (and others). I am unable to properly articulate or express the emotional roller coaster that experience was for me. I still am overwhelmed with emotions now thinking about how much finding this information out has changed my life.
    Finding out I am Autistic has made my life at least make some sense to me now. I have felt alone, or as if I was an alien that got stranded on the wrong world, my_entire_life. I have struggled with people for as long as I have memories to access. That isn't to say I do no have friends; I do. Yet, until I met this amazing Mental Health Provider I have always, ALWAYS felt alone. I have never, ever made friends easy, nor do I have very many actual friends. I understand why now. That has been a blessing words cannot properly convey.
    I want to thank you for helping me come to terms with my Autism. I know there are so many, MANY more people out there struggling. I hope they can find your channel and get the same help I did here. I know I have waffled on for far too long, but I just want to so thank you very much for helping me come to terms with, and understand, my Autism. Cheers!

    Liked the genuine unedited nature of this video! Made me smile. I also discovered it at the age of 31 and thankfully stumbled across your channel!
    Honestly you know what it is? it's like we've been experiencing gaslighting alllll this time (when our perception of reality is questioned) because we didn't know why we were different and to have our experience constantly dismissed becomes traumatic in many ways. Yes of course we can't blame the NT's for doing it because they don't know reality to be any different from their experience either. So it's like both sides are right in their own way, however one side gets to hear it because we are not the majority.
    So definitely definitely...it's very enabling and liberating when you can step into your truth and validate your own experience whether society chooses to accept you or not.

    I have been following your channel for a few months, and it has helped me realize that I am probably autistic. The comment about people just following their instincts reminded me of a recurring conversation I have with my wife, who is very much neurotypical. When I don't understand what she or someone else is doing, I always say that they are following some sort of internal logic that I just don't understand, and if I could only see their logic then I could understand why they do or say what they do. My wife and I have never been able to understand each other on that point.

    • @Mrs.Silversmith
      @Mrs.Silversmith 3 года назад +1

      The truth is they aren't following any internal logic. That's what Aspies do. NT's function more on instinct and intuition, ie processes their brains do automatically because it seems "right" and "natural". If you ask them to explain any of the myriad of social skills they have picked up intuitively they can't give more than a vague, ephemeral reason because they have often never thought about those behaviors in a systematic, logical, or objective manner.

    Talk about synchronicity! I woke up during last night and remembered a time when I was isolated from a working group; I was a museum volunteer many years ago, drawing artifacts for recording purposes and the other artists and myself worked in a lovely, large room with trestle tables and lots of light. I absolutely loved it and seemed to get on with everyone. But then one day I was told that the department was changing and that we were being moved to another part of the building. I was put in a small, dark office with an unfriendly bloke who seemed to resent me being there, and for some reason I was allergic to something there too, causing streaming eyes & nose and constant sneezing. Everytime I went out to use the facilities I had to get someone on the front desk to phone the bloke so that he could escort me back and key me through the security doors, which didn't improve matters, lol. I got really anxious under those circumstances and eventually stopped going to the museum. The weird thing is that no-one else was moved and it didn't even occur to me to wonder why; things just used to wash over me then and it isn't until much later that I realise what was going on...in this case, 20 years!
    Anyway, when I woke up I was really upset about it and spent some 'hour of the wolf' time awake, wondering why I was moved. :(

    How do you find that community, this is all new to me and I'm still working on getting a diagnosis. Watching your videos and other's over the past year has been the closest I've felt to having a tribe and being understood my whole life.

    Thank you, a huge thank you, for being here. You are not the first YT that I’ve given a huge thank you. There are a number of other YT that have been life savers. You are among the top. Other people seem to have commented similarly. Thank you so much for being a life line here. Truly helpful info is shared here. Have a couple family members diagnosed. One doesn’t have the highly gifted IQ so it seems harder to manage. Having this info helps others to understand better and not devalue so much simply because they misunderstand. Thank you again.

    I happen to appreciate “Paul unscripted”... you’re helping me so much and you don’t even know. It’s a bit like when I’m having a psychedelic experience where changing one small thing like the ambient light, or the tempo of the music, sends a perceptible ripple of newly colored-flavored change to everything that comes next. I’m proud of you. If you were my kid brother, I’d be in your corner from home. Thank you.

    Around 50 I gave up on people. Now I understand my part in the world better after my ASD diagnosis. I am still alone but at least I understand why & it does not bother me now. I have tried to meet other ASD people but it depends where you live & Australia has a real problem with regional care. And it must be said some people with ASD can be full of prejudices like everyone else. Merry Xmas Man

    I really needed this video. I got a voicemail yesterday intended for my landlord from a new housemate. She expects me to be very social and when I explained I needed to be able to walk in and out of my house without being stopped or interrupted to be social... (I'll admit I was under alot of stress and while I spoke to her I was pacing) Her response was to ring my landlord and say I'm Crazy.
    I think I needed to understand how different 'they' see and experience things.

      His mother also says at some point "but I regret not following up with the specialist from huston", which leads to my headcanon of that clinician suspecting ASD but themselfes not being able to diagnose him. And that he might have thought "well he's a bright kid, he'll do better without a label".

    I'm 35 and have always thought I was on the spectrum. My parents took me to be tested in 1989.
    I don't know what I was tested for exactly, but their reasoning was I behaved strange for a child. (Lack of enthusiasm for the beach or icecream). I've recently been struggling a lot and have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. Since me and my therapist have done work for me to cope with that condition, I actually feel too guilty to ask for a ASD assessment...

    I completely relate to what you said. I am a recently self-diagnosed guy in his 40's and throughout my life have experienced many similar issues as your good self. It is a hard life when you are a square peg that is constantly trying to fit into a round hole, especially when you don't know have an answer as to what is going on! It can be exhausting and it almost feels like I would imagine it being for an orthodox human trying to live and succeed on an alien planet. In any case it certainly helps somewhat once you solve the conundrum of why you are so different from others. I am sure your videos are an inspiration to many autistic people. Thanks for the upload!
