My cousin has just being diagnosed with aspergers. Hes 36 and has being struggling with anxiety and depression for most his life. Im 26 and the only person he ever really opens up to, over the past few weeks iv been seriously considering the fact that he had something like autism so have been watching his body language very very carefully. Last week i approached his mother with the idea that he might have aspergers as he ticked 90% of the boxes she agreed to have him tested. He was a little hesitant but i got him around to agreeing. Today he was just diagnosed and it fills me with relief that he can now begin to live as he now has a diagnosis and doesn't feel "crazy" its been a long struggle for him i just wish he was diagnosed sooner.
Hes lucky to have someone like you. I am the same with depression and anxiety for most of my life and no friends at all. My family just see me as a crazy man. I dropped out of high school cause i just coulnt deal with it no more, i would sit at a table by myself in the cafeteria during lunch. Im 25 now still no friends and high anxiety im always alone. My depression is gone for the most part because i realized ill probably be alone all my life so now im not searching and im not as confused. Keep supporting your cousin even if its hard for him to show how much he appreciates you.
Its the same for me! I just got diagnosed last week, and I am 27!
I was diagnosed at 36 and with ADHD a few years ago. It's a relief finding out because it explains why everything's a struggle, but it's short lived because Everything is still a struggle. The only difference is I know why
His mother “had him” tested, and he’s 36?
He doesn’t do that for himself at that age?
@@somexp12 well no, I mean he has issues plus he didn't believe he had autism etc
There’s a few problems with the generalizations made in this video. The video is overall good and definitely represents some of the problems some of us with Aspergers face but it doesn’t encompass all of us.
I for example love to share and talk about my interests and ideas. The problem is that I often can’t shut up about my personal interests and there’s a lack of reciprocity in my conversations because generally I talk to someone a lot about something I’m interested in. I’m not shy. I love talking to people about the things I enjoy but I have a hard time explaining them verbally or having a conversation with good flow. I also struggle with shutting up about my interests and understanding body language right away that may imply they’re not really all the interested in what I’m talking about. If they’re not interested then I just stop talking right away and end the conversation in an awkward fade.
The reason I’m aware about all of this is because most of us are OVER aware and OVER think body language and communication rather than just being blind to it. A lot of times we’re misrepresented when people say we just don’t understand it or get it right away when in fact it’s more so that we overthink it. Some social and language skills can lag not because we’re “slow” in the sense of a snail but slow in coming to conclusions because we’re so cramped with so many observations and thoughts that it’s hard to come to the most logical conclusion. We’re very much logical and it’s hard to catch all the nuances and appropriate responses to social behavior growing up so as adults we overthink our behavior to avoid the bullying and aggression we received as children for failing to catch a nuance. So yes we struggle with some linguistic nuances but it doesn’t mean we don’t understand humor, sarcasm or that we’re slow. It’s more like we have our own sarcasm language that we can understand and we have to translate the neurotypical version of humor or sarcasm. That’s the best way I can describe it.
Beautifully said.
Totally agree with you
Thank you for writing this! Watching the video I felt that the loved one in my life who I think probably has Asperger’s loves to share and didn’t fit that part either. You explained it so well! He is so bright and exuberant in his sharing but definitely misses the cues with his peers.
Exactly what I was thinking, I also tend to have a hard time with understanding social cues.
Yeah ive had an official aspergers diagnosis and i like sharing my interests
The big issue with these ASD conditions is, while most people with obvious issues are diagnosed as children, some children are able to hide their issues very well. Once you get older and you've learned about things like reciprocity and can apply them you can still have so much internal turmoil but people around you can't see it in your behaviour.
100%! this has been my issue. I feel ASD is still vastly misunderstood especially by the medical professionals who don't actually experience it.
Clearest explanation of this that I've found so far.
Best ten minutes I have ever spent in my life
I have A SD and fallow a routine every night, my grandmother gets my meds, then we go to her room read scripture and pray every night if we forget I have a panic attack and have trouble sleeping
Hey im diagnosed with aspergers and I like to draw
Also have aspergers an the interest levels depends on what THAT person finds interesting like I love to read, draw an history an sciences but math English etc I can’t stand doing but I can still do it but I hate doing so. So it’s a case by case basis
I'm weird. I'm diagnosed too...
Drawing weird things is cool but organic chemistry and scaring neighbours whith death metal vocals is better
I’m also diagnosed
I have asperger's too. Drawings one of my favorite hobbies
i LOVE that you didnt make that awkward little bye at the end and just closed the video when you were done
My case with the condition has left me emotionally prone to sadness and depression as a result from interacting with people and the ways of the world. Because of it, it has hardened my view on the world and people in general. When I recover from an emotional trauma, my brain is not happy or depressed, but away from neurotypical population. The process has repeated to the point where no matter what I do, these problems will occur and my faith in interacting with people becomes lost. And imo, rightfully so. My years of living with it have been more depressive and deprived of real world skills. I’m 24 years old and I’ve dealt with the consequences of interacting with people who deal with nothing like that. Ranging from the job market, to kids my age and of this day and age, to a relationship with a girl who wanted to go out all the time nonstop and ended the relationship that really hurt me as of recent. So my view of people and the world has been very hardened and very cynical and and no longer curious or motivating.
You described almost all my experience living in this world... Even about the girl... I really feel lost...
@@jellyfishi_ Why people don't simply be what they are? Why can't they recognize their mistakes? Why can't we all live in peace? Why do people want to tear each other out? I try to help the world the way I can and I know, but it seems useless...
Arthur Jorge glad I could provide some insight 👍
@@screwmuckduck8905 not feeling alone really helps, because we have a better chance to overcome similar obstacles :)
I'm really glad you shared something of your history
I feel exactly the same I've always felt like I don't belong in this world I feel lost most of the time .I suffer from depression and anxiety.
I'm blunt and honest when I talk but it's misinterpreted and then causes alot problems people think I'm rude I have not been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome formally but only found out yesterday when I attended an autism awareness group and the lady there told me I seem to be someone who has Asperger's most likely. Until I read about it and saw the similarities of the syndrome I realized I am extremely likely to have it. My family are in denial they say there none wrong with me which actually makes me feel sad because they not accepting me for who I am but rather trying to mould me into something I'm not. Sometimes I feel so depressed I feel like ending my life 😭
Thanks for the explanation. I can now continue watching the south park episode.
Ah yes.
Thank you very much for this amazing video❤️❤️
Wow this video is really good. Thank you
Thank you very much for your simple explanation
Thank you!! It was very clear and useful to me.
Thank you for this posting.
Very informative!
awesome explanation! nice visuals, as well! 👍
I see a lot of people angered by some aspects of her presentation....I have Asperger's, and I have had social skills therapy and it helped immensely. However, I think she's just trying to be as simple as possible to explain it to people. Which is a complex thing to do with Asperger's.
You sure are correct, the video tries to cover quite some bases - and does mainly a decent job. The thing I personally assess as... I would even say upsetting is that the "managing" advice is very similar to encouraging masking and forcing ideas upon neurodivergent people they wouldn't voluntarily pick up themselves. An apparent distinction should be made between explaining behaviour patterns, so that autistic people can understand and react without getting irritated as well as being misunderstood, and forcing them to match neurotypicals to "improve" communication. Masking is no joke. Friends, family, teachers etc., all should try to take the first step themselves in understanding what thinking patterns the person diagnosed with autism follows (because that's the crucial point all of them have in common: a system) and based on this an explanation of the world won't hurt.
Don't tell them i.e. eye contact is the only way to make communication for both sides right. Explain why it is important for others and if they still feel uncomfortable, teach them how they can state their reasoning so that they won't get judged for it. Don't tell them they're wrong. Never say that to anyone really, cause no one needs the mental illnesses that bring in the long term.
Miss? I know you’re doing your job and making a video for RUclips, and you truly wish to keep going as well. I have Aspergers as well, and when I was growing up, my mother used to tell me all the time that I was on such a fine line between Normalcy and This.
I can’t help but agree with the others, but I also must agree with you as well. You’re doing good work, and I’m thankful for that as well. I’m really good at writing, to the point where my professors said my work was like Dickinson and Poe together in a poem... it amazes me every time they say such things, and yet it’s always bothering because these poems don’t elicit anything from me, so they’re henceforth called “Deliriums”. I’ve nearly 5 books now... I hope to get them published soon.
Please Stay Safe Miss; and I hope that you’re doing well. Good Luck as well, ok? It seems to be a Wild World out There right now... doesn’t it? Lol
Please check all the criteria when you get diagnosed! I was diagnosed as a preteen with Aspergers because of lack of eye contact and repeated fidgeting (was probably nervous in a new place) and my unnatural obsessions with owls, maps, and making lists of cities/countries as a kid. However, I did fine in social interactions with friends, was always quick to make friends, and can easily read emotional cues and react appropriately, even better than some "Typical" people. I did use to have oddly similar behaviors to Asperger's, but you want to make sure that with any diagnosis you think critically and be honest with yourself. I definitely have obsessive habits that I have to check and had to learn from some major faux pas I made. But Asperger's definitely ain't it, so always think for yourself and get multiple opinions. Thanks for reading fam!
It's not easy for people to get multiple opinions, unless your really well off and can afford too. I think your an aspie from reading what you wrote. Your probably very good at masking. Peace out
I get that it would be hard to get multiple opinions, I had the same situation. I guess my point was to not fall into the idea of having a certain psychological condition just because one specialist says. Shortly after being diagnosed I suffered a major psychotic episode which explained my atypical behaviors and explains why I don't have those same symptoms since I've been out of it. During that time I got diagnosed with 4 other mental disorders because symptoms were coming left and right. Others I've known and myself have been diagnosed with conditions that weren't totally correct but they changed the way I saw myself. I thought I was destined to be socially awkward until I realized I wasn't. For instance, I had social anxiety because of life experiences, not because I was always that way. Respect for everyone with Aspergers and any psychological condition, that we can all get the best treatment possible. Peace out ✌🏽
Good explained
Thanks!
I have Asperger's and I like rainbows
its quite common that children line their toys in a line, but doesn't have to be this at all. They could have repetitive behaviour such as flapping their hands or twitching called mannerisms and also following routines which is comforting to them.
Don't forget self-stimming! ;-)
This exactly discribes me
I got Aspergers ill send this to my people that dont understand. personally to me its not a disability its a different way of thinking just the whole annoying parts like the fidgeting and social ques that are annoying to deal with as long as you and your friends and family can point it out and you can correct yourself its not to bad
I hate this, the fact that I enjoy doing things, but I don't do them, I must keep reminding my self what I like and who/what I am. 😓
Same thing for me but I don’t know if I have asbergers
It sounds like you may have some sort of depression, like wanting to do things but being unable to. You good bro?
Idk how she did this with a straight face, I’m smiling every time i hear “assburgers”🤣🤣🤣
hi i wish that you ok
juste i wondering what is the steps to get better from asperger ? teenager
With restrictive interests, do they literally only have 1 interest? And how do you know it's just not different taste? Maybe their interest levels would be normal amongst activities they haven't discovered yet?
as explained in the video, aspergers sounds very much like shyness to me. when i moved to another country, i was exactly like that for the first few years. they always thought i am very shy but maybe i just have aspergers :)
It's definitely not the same.
Shy people inevitably come out of their shell after a while. Someone with Aspergers... it's like pulling teeth trying to connect with them.
@@jellyfishi_ wow, you described how I try to learn social behavior. Really, it's like trying to find each recipe :o
@@KleWdSide I wouldn't describe it as pulling teeth. It might seem complicated because society makes everyday life very hard for people with Aspergers. People approaching are often like "u want more?" and often don't try to understand how our thinking works and overstep our boundaries in the process while justifying it with "it's normal".
I don't know your situation, but if you watch that person, do you think your approach was beneficial for both of you? If someone makes you go out of your way or disrupts you while getting your needs fulfilled for no good reason, would you be thrilled? First, understand, find a good reason and then approach. Don't be selfish and expect the other side to just do their part. That's the thing that's not working with Aspergers - or at least (with skilled masking on the other side) not in a healthy way.
Sadly, your video propagates the notion that people with Asperger Syndrome are somehow intellectually "less" when you set up a graph (in more than one video) that implies that the more intellectually stimulating activities capture the interests of "expected" behaviors of a "normal" child, and not that of a child with Asperger Syndrome. It's been our experience that the restrictiveness exists, but every child is all over the map about what captures their excessive attention (INCLUDING reading, or drawing-- your examples) There should have been asterisks all over your chart to say where these kids land. Oddly, I've not seen "playing with blocks" sit high on the list of many Asperger diagnosed kids.
The problem comes when people view these people as intellectually less than others. This leads to fewer opportunities being offered to this group of kids, less validation of their feelings, less of a need to address each of these people as still having basic human needs.
The processing speed is different. It's not that a person with Asperger Syndrome doesn't know what a frown or a yawn means from another person. They truly have a communication impairment in processing "reciprocal communication" in real time. It frustrates the person who is talking to them, so the problem compounds on itself.
Asperger Syndrome then serves to create an undesired isolation experience. Adolescents crave inclusion and social development. This is a problem for people who live with Asperger Syndrome. They find a profound loneliness, anxiety, and depression develops as a result of this serious communication impairment.
Suggesting that "expected" behaviors include intellectual and creative activities, and Asperger's restrictive interests do not include intellectual or creative activities is probably not what you intended, but that's how it presented. Even worse, it's included in an NCLEX-RN teaching batch. This means that young adults with Asperger histories will have an entire professional group learning that they tend toward restrictive interests that don't include the more intellectually stimulating activities. That is, they are less.
Instead of highlighting from the beginning that the DSM 5 has chosen to drop Asperger Syndrome more in favor of Autism Spectrum Disorder, but people who have been identified as having Asperger's are on the spectrum but did not experience the language developmental delays. And pointing out that the restrictive interests can be ANYTHING (including intellectually stimulating interests), and the big issue for young and older adults who have been identified as being Asperger's actually have serious social isolation issues from their communication impairment.
THAT'S what's important professionally to someone who is in training and testing to become an RN. THAT is what will help the person and their family from a nursing perspective.
I'm diagnosed with asperger and I find really difficult to find a job, because everyone seems to expect that I talk to everyone and be "social relaxed", but I don't feel like that and I hate to lie... I feel overcumbered by those social demandings...
While on school I loved to learn almost everything they taught, but on college I didn't find that same interest... Now I'm 27 years old and I don't even have a job...
I love computer science, but most of corporations want those "social relaxed" groups...
Really, I want to help my family and help other too, but I can't even help myself...
I feel more depressed every year...
I thought it was clear that "reading, drawing, and playing with blocks" were example's. She literally states that children with asperger's do not have intellectual delays a few minutes later.
I just got diagnosed with aspergers this summer and I am having a hard time cus my cousins just got divorced
Late diagnosis of woman with Asperger’s here after studying psychology and working with people with autism …
Stop with wont dont cant. We do and sometimes don't do these things it's all relative. Sometimes I can make eye contact sometimes its impossible
I am autism or I have Asperger Syndrome, I can't communicate with other people easily, and people in my class thinks I have lower iq than normal people, but actually I may have higher iq than normal people but I don't really care about it. I came here because I want to know what is Asperger Syndrome. I love maths and I can do 4 hours maths straight.

Wow!! That's awesome :)))
Maybe some social Norms are just without any meaning nor sense. What value does it get exchanging lies about how one feels as small talk out of curtecy. Lying to another person is not curtecy or being polite or social. Juts because it is a convention, does not mean it is right or adds any value. To anyone.
Exactly
Why is this being explained using stick figures and smiley faces like we're all children?
I think I have aspergers
Though I dont have the trouble with socal behaviour recognition, and I shair every achievement of mine, I have a astrophotography insta.
I once called my dad because I could see the orion construction from the center of a light polluted city.
The only thing I have aspergurs because I have trouble with eye contact.
I don't know why the hell i'm here. I have to study orgo now... Trust me - "trying to understand non - verbal communication is just a waste of time"
Eh no
my sister has aspergers and she's pansexual she swears a lot and gets mad ALOT for such small things so idk what it is
I think I have asperger, jezzos.
i have aspergers but i still have no idea what it is lmao
ummmmmmmmmm what they said at the start with the drawings is so not true
Are you canadian?
I don't think that is considered a condition as yet. But I can see how people can suffer from Trudo, an in ability to speak candidly.
:)
Of all the names they could’ve chosen, i think I’d chuckle if someone told me they have “assburgers”
It’s name after the guy who described it and got it in the literature. Are you the type that chuckles when people tell you their surname? I think the responsibility is held entirely by you.
Also, to what type of person is the mere mention of a swear word or body part funny? It’s not as if that combination of words carries any meaning together.
What is up with your username?
This video is wrong and misinformed.
This is grossly inaccurate
Can they change the name.. I hear ass burgers
They technically did by rolling it into “Autism Spectrum Disorder”. Part of the goal was to use the more favorable reputation of higher functioning individuals to help reduce stigma across the spectrum. Trouble with that is that a lot of angry parents of more severe cases feel it detracts from them. So telling someone you’re autistic is liable to be met with disbelief (because you can talk, obviously) and/or anger. “Asperger’s” is an easier short hand for now, and it is trivially easy to control yourself from making foul puns at another’s expense.
At a certain age, rainbows stop being amusing
Imagine dating a woman with Asperger's. I think I would be driven bonkers...
