"You don't suffer from Asperger's, you suffer from other people" "Don't criticize Asperger's, applaud them". That is exactly what I mean on all Asperger video comments I made. I am an Aspie too, and I suffered a lot. But the suffering did never come from myself. Never. I do not have a problem. Others have. End of suffering. I love this man.
@@tamarahughes7835 Thanks, but no need. I had a failed marriage after 19 years. Not many friends. But I have a wonderful ("normal") son, an academic degree in political science and a successful career as a high civil servant even in international diplomacy. So yeah. It took good parents and a lot of resilliance from my side to reach that. As for parenting, My parents were raised before WW2. Very lolving, totally dedicated to me and my "normal" sister. Totally. But strict, very strict, but I had a lot of freedom at the same time. However, schoolwork had to be done, behavior had to be good, honesty was paramount and parents were above children (until about 18 years old). I don't know if that is a good recepy, but it worked for me. Hope it may help you??
I have Asperger's Syndrome, and this obsession thing happens to me so much I hate it. Sure, I learn a lot of stuff but can't I just stick to one thing? Clay has been obsessed with surfing his entire life practically. I'm 16 years old and have no idea where I am headed. Lucky Clay.
His story is so beautiful and inspiring, hes so good and the way his mom talks about him is amazing. People need to stop picking apart the aspects of people and just label them as a person...
Indeed, learn to embrace solitude since it is the autistic stress reliever. Love yourself, we are indeed special. Learn to not let others "get to you" and mostly forgive them and their ignorance which may be insurmountable, love themtoo. And lastly, develop a strong uncompromising gaze, determined and willing to fight you to the ground if necessary and learn to be a man in this hard and tough world.
+SBS “Aspergican” man Some people can others can not. It's not nice to have solitude when you don't want solitude. If you love it then there is no issue.
I just Found out on January 21,2014 that i've had A form of Autism my Whole life i'm age 22 year's old. And the Form of Autism I have is called #Borderline autism and I have a hard time meeting new people and Making Friend's I also Do Autistic Stimming , I love the Water it's fun and very relaxing for me as well. when I was a Baby I was delayed in Everything from Walking, Eating, and yes Even Talking my Speech was At a Delayed rate for 22 Months at 2 year's old, but I had thoughts and Questions Running through my Head constantly but I couldn't get them out into words I did learn to speak
I have Aspergers Syndrome. I used to have trouble noticing hand signals like waving or something like that but since then I now have learnt every signal that people around me do. I try to think about the different aspects of life and everything that happens around me. I freaked out when I found out about this Syndrome when I got diagnosed but later on in life I soon realized that this was a gift.
Empirestate96 I’m with you. I was diagnosed at about 7 years and 6 months of age, but I was in DENIAL about it until 10 years after the diagnosis. I was in 11th grade when I started coming around to admitting to my diagnosis, so I started disclosing it to my peers and staff. They were actually relieved - not alienated - when I told them. I realized that we do have qualities, and not deficits. We have difficulties, but we can work around them. Even though I have proven a lot of (incompetent) teachers wrong, I make an effort not to hold grudges about them and the hell they put me through.
Although I'm a total fan of Tony Atwood, I have to say that when he talks about people with Aspergers not having a disability he may be trying a little too hard to be PC. It is a fact that the majority of Aspies do find it difficult to function on a day to day basis, and we should never forget that. It can also be a dangerous thing to declassify Aspies from being disabled as in turn there wouldn't be any financial and emotional support for them.
@katiekdb me too.. maybe I like the man who talks... he would be TOO good dad - I would always be so happy that I would cry and everything would go wrong for that.
A great video spoiled by a near painful noise that is likely to cause discomfort to many people that would watch this as they are on the spectrum! Many of us Aspies have sensory issues- especially with sounds like that noise.
I was diagnosed with aspergesr. I am 48. It started when I was very young. Anti-social.I was 8 and the neighborhood kids would ask if i am home.I would tell my mother,tell them I am not home.Sometimes, my mom would tell mee to go outside. I remember interacting with the kids and focus at my mom who was looking out the window at me. I only wanted to go back in the house..
Religion only works because people are afraid of dying, they welcome religion for the reassurance it brings. An aspie usually has a disconnection between emotions / critical thinking. As such an aspie can easily see through the bullshit when reading some fiction work being told as being the thruth. So aspies are usually very good critical thinkers and Atheists because of that.
How do you know that your neurotypicality is not a disability? It is subjective. Perhaps you have a social gift, perhaps we have an intellectual gift. And maybe we are all average. I never called anyone gifted or disabled, I just stated that we need both kinds of people. Your cerebral myopia is a far more crippling disability than my Asperger's. I was diagnosed with it age seven, but am uncertain that I have it. I am who I am either way, and I am satisfied with that.
@RussX5Z One has to realize that Asperger's is less the inability to care for others than the struggle to express that ability to care. I would not say that Asperger's syndrome has any correlation to selfishness, at least not more than NTs. While it may seem as if the man who spends his days and years indoors in the process of creation is egotistical and aloof with his introversion, without such a man you could not read this message. Such a gift is not selfishness.
Agree Dr Attwood saying: "You don't suffer from Aspergers, You suffer from other people" Our problems mentally and emotionally stem from people's ignorance and lack of understanding of what's it like to be different. People with Asperger's syndrome should be seen as unique, a gift, not a disease or a burden to society as every one has different problems so they turn to their expert interests just to escape from the burdens and unhappiness delivered by the big wide world.
I have aspergers and while at one time i wished i didn't have it so I could fit in with people, be popular, get invited to parties and get laid a lot...luckily I soon realized how HUGE a waste of time those things are and how gifted and special I am for being able to dedicate hours and hours to things that I have a passion for. I can safely say I'm happy being a loner and im grateful to be able to do things that few others can...including playing jazz guitar which I love, watch my video :)
@PhilMyBod41 I turned it into a fight, really. Who's the one who has done nothing but sing his own praises, his fighting record, his psych problems and how he wants revenge against the world who wronged him? Yes, I got angry at someone making an all-encompassing statement about Aspergers, but it's you who've been always escalating this with talk of a physical confrontation. Goodbye my friend, I'm sick of this chest-beating exercise.
@PhilMyBod41 I can assure you I sidestepped nothing - thank-you for making yourself seem like the only Aspie ever picked on or beaten up - but my abuse had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the abusers. Asperger's is not something I 'have' or 'suffer', it's WHO I AM...and I like who I am. If you or the bullies back in school don't like me, fine, but why should I rate my self-worth based on the opinions of arseholes???
Historically accurate? Please, no offense mate but do take it somewhere else. The appeal to authority is the weakest logical falacy you can pull out in any argument.... that said I read a famous textbook written by the best and more amazily scientist/historian/surfer/artist in the world who said your historians are full of sh*t.... yes its basically the same. deal with it
And if any Aspie here is upset what I just sad. Don't worry because I have ADHD and I pretty much will struggle with that for the rest of my life (even though I'm on my own treatment and program). By the way I say all this because I know 2 people personally that has Aspergers and one of them happen to be a former close friend of mine.
Rejection massively reduces IQ. Particularly in HFA’s. My life’s story. I have always known things I’m not suppose to know. No one taught any of it to me it’s just there. I realize now it’s an all knowing place that we are all apart of. I’m connected, your not. Why should I be belittled for something you lack?
No real knowledge will come from anything unless you understand and comprehend on many levels what you are reading. I could disagree with every religion but be able to find truths of life in many of them. To disagree with this, in my opinion, is a form of ignorance.
I guess you made a good point. And I'm sorry if my comment came off a bit offensive. Anyways you mentioned cerebral myopia? Now what is that by the way? And I'm pretty sure I don't have that disability! LOL! I have just basic ADHD and a little bit of anxiety here. =)
Dr. Attwood is very articulate about AS, but I worry about 'sexing up' the syndrome. The movie Rainman made people expect every autistic person to be a card counting genius, which they aren't. (and Kim Peek, the inspiration for the movie wasn't even autistic, he had FG syndrome) Attwood continually mentions Aspies having 'special interests' and being the best in the world at something and that obviously can't be true. There's more than one Aspie interested in the Titanic/Cosmology/Computers...
@Tricianne7 - Its ok, embrace it. I have 2 kids with autism 1 is more server non-verbal and 1 is aspergers and 2 of the best kids in world. Each day they teach more than I can ever teach them in a lifetime.
I am diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, but according to a doctor that my parents saw when I was younger, I am very borderline. I still have difficulty in picking up on more subtle forms of body language and verbal communication and I generally dislike making eye contact unless I am relaxed around someone or when I feel that it is necessary. I also have rather intense, narrow interests, and new and interesting subjects can keep me occupied for weeks or months at a time. Though they don't interfere with my daily life of course. Apart from that, a genius friend of mine commented once that I'm stupidly good at remembering things of interest to me.
having been in the world a good while; why would you want to be like the average human? As life goes on, you certainly do suffer from other people. The average is mundane, mediocre, conformal, apathetic, trite. Best be different, special, worthwhile, unique. Best tell those that aren't to f off.
The Bible can help us remember that we are loved & can help us remember how to love. There are many talents; shepherding or caring for others is one but NOT the only one that is of value. We are EACH of immeasurable worth. (The rejected one is the keystone.) Be careful: The words of Scripture can be and often are used deceptively, for evil purposes. The best any of us can do is learn LOVE. Seeing through the eyes of love (analysis is a secondary, not primary, tool) is how to see clearly.
Huh?? You're not making much sense here. First you say you don't believe in the bible and than you go on explaining yourself about the professor and historian agreeing with jrig123's comment about the accuracy of the bible, like you find it amusing. And then you end your sentence with ... not at all??? What?? You sure have a nonsensical way of sarcasm or should I say a disagreement??
And if you have Aspergers you're unable to care for someone emotionally (as a whole) which can become a problem in the long run and that's the reason why many people with Aspergers struggle socially and emotionally with acquaintances, co workers, friendships, and relationships. What I'm really trying to say is people with Aspergres will pretty much struggle in the real world. I hate to say this.
It's not the truth, I over care for the people I've been with. Its actually normal people that seem to have huge problems with how to care for others, alot of normal people seem to have this natural setting of being apathetic or harmful to others
@ma20101992 The reason is because human beings are meant to be social creatures. That is the norm, logically speaking. Humans are not meant to be alone and introverted. Do you know that lonely people die quicker than a person who has a healthy regular social life?
unfortunately i can't. i only ripped this part after seen the movie and have no access to the movie anymore. maybe some other source can provide you with the whole film.

Yeah they sure can pick and choose what they want in life. But you know and I know that at the end of the day life "from a adult's perspective" Life as a whole is really all about PEOPLE. The truth is people are animals at the start but people are the most intelligent animals on this planet. Because MAN created almost everything on this planet.
They are absolutely amazing to watch at work. My son has high functioning Aspergers and he is so articulate. He has coloured in between the lines at two. He makes train track circuits like an engineer. He is only 3 1/2 years old. We need Autistic peole in this world. Neorotypicals just need to find a way to understand them better. Just understanding the differences is so important for both.
I've never heard anyone else other than Tony Attwood speak about ASD this way. Pretty amazing. "People will say 'people who suffer from Aspergers' - No, you don't suffer from Aspergers. You suffer from other people." "I want people to admire those with Aspergers syndrome. To say that it give syou talents. Don't feel sorry for them. Applaud them!"
If only I had found my passion, my special thing. 50's and 60's just wasn't something to base a career on. I did so well in maths at Uni, but never found the same groove in IT, and while I ate actuarial exams for breakfast, I couldn't hold the concentration to function in the job, and it was the 1980s and nobody knew about ASD, Asperger Syndrome, HFA or even ADD.
"You don't suffer from Asperger's, you suffer from other people" "Don't criticize Asperger's, applaud them". That is exactly what I mean on all Asperger video comments I made. I am an Aspie too, and I suffered a lot. But the suffering did never come from myself. Never. I do not have a problem. Others have. End of suffering. I love this man.
Ronald de Rooij I’m with you. We don’t have problems; other people have problems.
My son is also an Aspie. I applaud you. 💞

tfw you question your asperger self diagnosis because you aren't great at anything.

I suffer from other people!!

@GiftsofAutism yes clay rocks big time, im glad you realized how lucky we are to have researchers like Dr.Attwood telling it like it is :)
You don't get to pick one thing and say "life is REALLY all about X" for *everyone*. People can and should choose their own interests.
Perhaps that is why at 54 years old..I am one of the fastest women in the world in my age group. Now I understand.
@RussX5Z - no real knowledge will come from any bible, hence reading it will not provide any one with more insight.
NT's will never really understand the mind of an aspie, but they could at least try. Sadly, most don't bother.
The information was helpful, but the other 85%+ of flashing images and music/noise was immensely offputing.
having been in the world a good while; why would you want to be like the average human? As life goes on, you certainly do suffer from other people. The average is mundane, mediocre, conformal, apathetic, trite. Best be different, special, worthwhile, unique. Best tell those that aren't to f off.
so people who become experts and successful at something are sick.. you fuckin kidding me
this made me have tears in my eyes as my son might have this. ???????????
Hawlly shit this is like a big commercial marketing asperger.
This is Awsome!!!!! Have to have this movie !!!!
@GabrielleBryden dot feel sorry in ways we look up at him
In fact its beyond the bible, its just general humanity.
The Bible can help us remember that we are loved & can help us remember how to love. There are many talents; shepherding or caring for others is one but NOT the only one that is of value.

done well

HAHA ROFL LMAO LOL THE BIBLE HAHAHAHA
Nice vid learned mor about aspergers
Thanks for posting this.
Wait... I'm new to this video... How did a video about aspergers turn into a religious debate?
exactly
It happens
every time
🐑🐑🐑🐑
@jrig123 try reading and/or listening to a respected historian like bart ehrman.
bart ehrman is the james a. gray distinguished professor of religious studies at the university of north carolina, chapel hill, and is a leading authority on the new testament and the history of early christianity.
you can find many debates and lectures with him here on youtube.
he - nor many other scholars and historians - will agree with you that the bible is historically accurate… not at all.
hey youtubers, if you go on google images and type in dale thomas who is an aussie rules footballer and then look up pictures of clay marzo you will see how identical they look to each other
but that goes for NT's too...
It's not a gift, its a brain disorder/mental disabilty. It is what it is my friend.
Russx5z...
its 2018
are you still
believing in
your opinions
lol
I like what Tony says here, it's about self understanding, and don't feel sorry for them applaud them : ) We are so conditioned to be and applaud extrovert traits that it's no wonder we get people being patronising toward us.
Yeah they sure can pick and choose what they want in life. But you know and I know that at the end of the day life "from a adult's perspective" Life as a whole is really all about PEOPLE.

They are absolutely amazing to watch at work. My son has high functioning Aspergers and he is so articulate. He has coloured in between the lines at two. He makes train track circuits like an engineer. He is only 3 1/2 years old. We need Autistic peole in this world. Neorotypicals just need to find a way to understand them better. Just understanding the differences is so important for both.
I've never heard anyone else other than Tony Attwood speak about ASD this way. Pretty amazing.

in the eyes of the bible
I love being an aspie
Anyone know the song ?
If only I had found my passion, my special thing. 50's and 60's just wasn't something to base a career on. I did so well in maths at Uni, but never found the same groove in IT, and while I ate actuarial exams for breakfast, I couldn't hold the concentration to function in the job, and it was the 1980s and nobody knew about ASD, Asperger Syndrome, HFA or even ADD.
It must be my Autistic brain. But writing the story of someone rising from the dead 200 years after seems very suspect.
Ha ha!! I guess.
You go on making your silly assertion over and over again. If you repeat it enough times, it'll become true right?
Oh, just somebody saying "yall should read the bible, then you'll understand what life is REALLY about"....
Broken Arrow
I wish I had the confidence and self-worth to beable to accept having aspergers as a gift and not a tragedy...
I cried...
Me too
the song
You did it again. You tried claiming "life is REALLY all about X" *for everyone*.
No, not for everyone.
