- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Miguel is a 26 year old autistic man that is diagnosed with schizophrenia. He refers to his hallucinations as “friends” and struggles to understand that they are not real. Miguel’s biggest hope is that others won’t give up on him while he works to understand his own mind.

-How can you tell that I'm your friend?
-Because you're real.
oh my god, that struck me
That struck me too ....
I know. He's a strong dude.
When he means real it means your being real to him *puts shades on*
There’s something about that like that got to me too. I think it’s because it can be hard to comprehend different conditions, but that line really helped me understand a little bit better. He’s such a beautiful and strong person 💕
That's right. It puts things in perspective. Don't take people for granted
“I’m not judging you, I want to understand”
“Ohhhh, ok. That’s A-ok”
He so cute!!!

He’s not a child
That part made my heart smile 😊 💜
The way his expression changes at 4:13 when he realizes that the guy’s not being judgemental is just priceless! Love & respect for this warrior. And also congrats to the guy who conducted this conversation so kindly.
What most neurodivergent people (I'm one of them!) really need is actually just a simple clarification. That's why when the interviewer explained that they wanted to understand, he felt like something is finally cleared. So whenever we encounter a neurodivergent person, it's very needed for us to explain our reasoning or intention :) I'm glad that the interviewer understood this. Most of the time, for those who don't know about this, tend to make neurodivergent people uncomfortable in the middle of conversation. But hey, we learn something with an open mind every day.
Yeah, that was an amazing moment! I had to stop the video and just walk around for a bit.
yes! when he says, “Ohhh, okay!” it melted my heart ♥️ it really did seem like he opened up way more & was more willing to participate & engage in the conversation & explain things. but what hurts is when he talks about his fear of being abandoned & expresses how much of a fight every moment is for him. may God be with him, & i truly pray that he gets at least some moments of rest from the chaos in his head 🙏🏼
You should know what a warrior is lol
It was so sad. But you could tell the relief wash over him in real time!!! It’s sad he has to deal with that genuine judgment in life, but so heartwarming to see that moment of happiness and a sense of belonging.
It’s heartbreaking seeing someone trapped in their own mind so much, he seems like such a sweet, friendly guy.
Good comment. That's exactly what it is... trapped in their own mind. This is a great video.
“That’s absolutely a-okay!” What an angel.
That part got me
I cried immediately
That moment was so adorable and heartwarming!🥺❤️
Yes
No he is not ok
I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be to constantly fight with your mind everyday… you can tell he really tries and what a wonderful family he has to be there for him like that. God bless him!
And how much stronger his mother is, you know. To be care and tryng to keep him feeling safe with yourself. Anyway, i'll keep to cry tears of joy
Amém 🙏
Having schizophrenia is so awful.. I don't have autism but I can't imagine what both at the same time is like. It breaks my heart that people font take these things seriously enough in this world. Mental Illness is so important for others to understand more about.. my heart hearts so much for others struggling as well cuz it hits so hard. 💔
Yeah you can tell he is very mentally strong. Fighting those distractions and the fear of being in between two different worlds you can’t tell which one is real must be so exhausting and disorienting. I think many people can’t fathom that reality and would not be able to keep it together and use coping skills so well like this. His momma loves him so much, you can tell she’s sad about his struggles but she’s so supportive/proud of him. She’s very in tune with her son
I can't imagine how exhausting it must be for my D to fight with your cat everyday. You're gorgeous.
I have autism, ptsd, paranoia, and hallucinations and i feel so very alone, no body seems to believe me or at least not enough. Thank you for sharing your story, it helps people like me feel less alone and alienated
your not alone and you are loved.
Me too ❤
Your not alone, and you are stronger than you realize. Much care my friend 😊
You are not alone, we all love you
I believe you. I know how important that is to hear so I wouldn't say it unless it was true 🫂
7:57 got me. The way he clearly expressed how much he loves his sister without saying anything was beautiful.
talmbout THIS IS HOW I FEEL. CHILD, I'M BAWWWWWLING!!
The man straight up called out ALL the bullies and bad guys.
The imaginary and the physical.
He's exhausted battling both realms 24/7 and still is one of the most emotionally intelligent and polite people I have ever seen.
@M M lmao
@@Human_Organic just what I thought. He's third eye is super open but he's seeing always through the same dimensional door. There are thousands. He needs to battle this things with chi energy cultivation and people that is very aware of this.
This guy is definitely super spiritual
that's what I'm saying too 👍
Pray for him 🙏
It's crazy how this man is 99% better at articulating his thoughts than most people I know. God bless him
This man is more intelligent than a LOT of people.
You know the wrong people, man.
I swear bro
@@rainerwinterstein4357 😭😭😭
Really?
He is so smart and in tune with himself. Brought tears to my eyes
Mine, too. God placed us here to perform a work only through him. Each of us have different gifts. This is why one reason anyway, it is so important not to make snap judgments, particularly for the purpose of criticizing someone. There’s more light in the boys and some of the most “heralded“ people in this increasingly darkening backwards world.
But there are lights that God has placed in the world. Ultimately the light is him, & He calls us to be His instruments to build each other up; all for His glory.
We were simply not created to be rejected and that is why it is so very painful, and whatever form & on whatever level it comes in.
I can tell his mother has been through some wearying battles. His sister, too. God bless them all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
I’m here with you 😢😢
@@diamondspearls9151 That's not nice
The fact that he wants the bad voices to learn and become better... what a sweet soul with the kindest heart.
This interviewer is one of the most patient compassionate people I've ever seen. These videos restore my hope in humanity.
agreed!
Yes. He is a good man.
shortly after this the man left and never came back.
@@TheConspiredOne there is no way that you know that.
@@jonritchey8653 just a little troll
This guy is honestly less deluded about his situation of psychosis than most people are about reality. He also spits straight wisdom at times. Very effective communicator.
💯
Truth!
He is very wise. He just needs someone to listen to what he has to say.
I like ya cut g
That would be me, thanks.
“You just gotta not give up on me…” that was so honest to hear which almost all of us think but cannot say.
And the look he has when he realizes he is not being judged 😊 such a heart warming interview somehow.
I love this
When he said this isn't a PDA I died, he isn't just great for being honest and working through things, you can tell he brings genuine joy to those around him.
When he hugged his sister and said "this is how I feel". That was powerful.
Felt that one too.
🤞🏼❤️
Yeah fr right in my soul
❤️🥲
8:10
he knows whats hes saying like he's very aware of his condition and knows everything about it and his words are very meaningful.
In some ways I envy his innocence and honesty.
Of course he does. He’s not slow, he just has hallucinations and some difficulty with social cues. Most people on the low end of the spectrum are extremely self aware of our condition(s), sometimes even moreso than most people.
I'm a film student, and every time things get tough I watch this interview, the part that Miguel tells why he likes to watch movies. Because knowing that I can be part of entertaining someone who is having a hard time, it gets me emotional.
I feel exactly the same way
I want to praise the way how the interviewer approaches the patient. He's got such professionalism and extraordinary rapport that any psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or psych nurse practitioner would love to have
I want to hug him so badly and tell this man he’s not alone.
He's lost poor guy
YES.
I know what loneliness feels like I want to hug him too.
@@pinkcandy7772 no he's not lost nor poor he is more found and richer in genuine spirit and soul than most
Me too A big hug and i would like to laugh with him. His laugh is beautiful
He’s so intelligent. His eyes are so expressive I can almost tell what he’s thinking. I’m happy he is happy to be alive. What an amazing person.
You're beautiful
I wish I could meet someone like you as a soul mate

😂😂😂😂 best reply section this dudes are on something, soulmate😂😂 jesusss 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@roderickgarcia2778 we’re you replying to me? Haha
Yeah, I can see that he fades away to fight inside his mind and his eyes get tired, and then he returns and looks you with expressive tired eyes that tell you that he is really hearing you.
11:49 THATS SO CUTE!!!! it's so nice to see him smiling and having fun with someone
I agree. I loved when he laughed so hard with Chris. He needs that joy in his life. 😄
“how can you tell that i’m your friend?”
“because you’re real”
🥺🥺🥺
This guy is so emotionally intelligent it's insane. When asked how he feels about it, I would always respond in some generic way with words, but he expresses how he feels by hugging his sister. The way he acts conveys so much more meaning than anything I could say with words.
Being emotional intelligent means you are able to read people and do what's necessary without them having to tell you. So I'm this case he hugged her because he felt like he needed a hug. That's not emotional intelligence.
@@chrisking6695 Shut up he clearly is more emotionally intelligent than the average person
@@chrisking6695 I wouldn't say at all that being emotionally intelligent does mean you are able to read people and do what's necessary. It's not about reading people. What's going on inside oneself is the key, not reading something in the outside. That's how I see it.
@@chrisking6695 being emotionally intelligent doesn’t always mean you can read someone
Facts
Honestly, this guy is an absolute warrior. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to deal with autism and severe schizophrenia. He seems so lucid about it and is emotionally more put together than a lot of people I know.
I mean, I'm sure he has his darker episodes and this interview is just a tiny slice out of his personality and life but I admire him and his family for how they are handling this situation.
All the best to you guys!
Him vs Robbie lawler what happens? He ain't no warrior
@@Bouldah this comment is as blunt as the combination of your user name and profile pic. I guess that's the definition of consistency. So... Good job?
@@pilotpetrov3855 THATS RIGHT
@@Bouldah Lawler got beat by Askren 💀
@@Reed591 well it wouldn't take lawler to beat ole fish eyes here. I'd maul him. Hes not a warrior
This made me cry. This guy is at war 24/7-- I think him being bullied traumatized him and he relives those memories in fragments. He uses his imagination to escape but probably gets invaded by the bully experiences. @4:13 you can see his relief when we realizes he's safe around the interviewer. Much respect and love for this channel. God bless you Miguel❤
Miguel: *yawnnn*
Miguel: "Excuse me for this yawning"
"Should we take a nap real quick?"
Miguel: "Yeah"
"That was a joke"
Miguel: *Cutest laugh ever.*
I laughed with him. It was so adorable 🥰
I used to teach life skills in the autism department in an elementary school. So seeing this really hit home. I appreciate the guy talking to him giveing Miguel time to process what was being asked. This video made me happy and sad. The hardest part of my job was watching the kids struggle with tasks that were so simple to someone who is not on the spectrum and not being allowed to just do it for them. As a parent, I commend his mother for being a Super-Mom.
And you a super teacher 👍🏻
@@gabogomez3471 Yo! I appreciate that.
I used to be a job coach for people with mental and physical disabilities. Some of the best people I've ever known. Brave people. Loving, trusting people. Mischievous and funny people. Happy people. Generous and caring people.
They made me a better person, each in their own unique way. I miss them.
Dont want to be that guy but correct the spelling mistake incase sombody would be confused
@@LordGarchomp I could say the same for Your punctuation, And your spelling...
When he perked when Chris said I wasn't to understand you and be your friend just wanted my heart so much. Seeing this beautiful young man's smile was amazing.
The way he perked up when the interviewer stated his intentions with the questions was so beautiful. Thank you for the insight into his walk of life. What a beautiful human and I hope that videos like these continues to build understanding and remove stigma around mental illness. Thank you for posting these videos.
I love his mom. She's raising a stand up family.
His mother is an incredible force! So much strength and love that is clearly instilled in her children.
She’s amazing
“It’s beautiful to have an imagination like that”. My God, he’s got a heart of gold! The fact that he can look at his situation like that is truly inspirational.
I've cried. He's so strong!
He is such a sweetheart, intelligent, self-aware, kind and funny. Thank you for inviting us into your home.
13:33 that he has empathy toward his hallucinations and wants for them to redeem themselves from darkness is just a deep testament to Miguel's beauty. They pick on him and tire him but he only wants the best for them; that is one of the most powerful things I've heard in my life.
The fact that he's giving such concise answers while dealing with schizophrenia and psychosis, I can't even imagine handling all that. He seems so composed and intelligent despite what he's dealing with, it's incredible.
Well, that's in part because the interviewer is very, very skilled in his labor. I don't know if he's a doctor himself, but it wouldn't surprise me.
@@aelfycarcini3992 Skilled?
Just looks like someone nice and patient, don't know where or how he looks skilled really.
I don't mean this to offend, I'm just wondering, really.
@@AGKyran there is definitely a way to ask questions and tone that not everyone has
15:20 he cracked a joke, can’t believe the interviewer didn’t laugh.
yes, how did Chris not laugh?
maybe he didnt know what PDA stands for
His mind is a battlefield... God bless him... I love you dude! You're so strong
the way he opens up when he realizes that the questions arent coming from a place of judgement but because he wants to understand and get to know him and i just. i care about Miguel a lot
I agree. There is I think many people who do judge him.
That was very wholesome on the interviewers part
He’s pretty slow bro I don’t think he can tell the difference regardless
@@etherious5957 he probably has trouble understanding the interviewers motives due to his autism which causes general socialization issues but he's definitely intelligent enough to know that that there are people who ask him these questions to belittle him. once he was told that he was asking for the sake of understanding his situation, he opened up. nothing slow about that. just an autistic brain working the way that it does.
That moment he understood your intention of understanding him instead of asking questions just so you can find things to judge him about. I feel
like he's so used to real and hallucinatory bullying that it's very hard to distinguish when people genuinely want to understand, connect and believe him. The reaction in the moment he understood that is probably the most genuine human reaction I have had the honour of seeing. Just by creating these small moments of connection could change these people lives drastically. Thank you!
As someone who struggles with Asperger's (higher-functioning autism), depression, psychosis, having different personalities that helped me cope with over 16 years of childhood truama, I can genuinely say this person has a genuine idea of what it is like to struggle nearly every day for your whole life, and never give up!
i’m crying. this was beautiful.
It's so sad I can't imagine what it's like
When he hugged his sister and cried and said “ this is how I feel” my heart ❤️ he is such a beautiful soul.
when he said “i want to be your friend” and his whole demeanor changed is just so wholesome 😢
He’s a strong man. Praying for this kid to have Gods peace.
Mentally disabled will automatically enter heaven! ❤️
Amen.
Wow! I can tell he’s been working really hard to overcome his issues. God bless him and his family!
This makes me want to cry. This man is speaking the most honest words anyone ever spoke. His brain is fighting itself and because of that battle he probably couldn't even imagine something like being intentionally deceitful or mean. so awful to experience. I hope he finds a circle of tolerant friends to watch movies and shows with him, and grow with him through the years.
Bro, I love the guy but I can't ignore the fact that the man talking to him is incredible at making questions and having a good conversation
For real, this cat is the truth
This video makes me cry and I have watched it several time. My mother had schizophrenia. At 1st we didn't understand but as the years went on and the closer that we made ourselves available to her the more I understood, just as I understand this young man right here, I pray for him. Believe me there are people out there who do understand...
how do you understand if someone has schizophrenia
Poor guy. He's so innocent and child-like.
Isn't funny how the ones who are so alone just want the rest of the world to be happy and healthy? It makes me wish i could be friends with more people like that because those are the best qualities to have as people especially in friends
Imagine how strong willed this man’s brain has to be to be able to talk and hold a conversation against all his issues. This man is an absolute genius. He’s able to articulate on something so complex with such an easy going understanding of his own nature, he’s very weary of how he is and it’s extremely inspiring to see how strong this man is. Wow. I’m gonna cry for real.
This man is a chad
Chris, your interview skills are absolutely phenomenal. You have a real talent to interview people tactfully and with a genuine connection to their feelings and state of being. This was brilliant to watch and I feel like I learn each and every time how to show people how valued they are when they do not necessarily communicate or function as I do. Thank you for teaching the world how to love people better.
I've been binge watching this channel for a bit, and would just like to add to your words that Chris genuinely instills a sense of awe for what he does. The man has the emotional intelligence and capacity the size of a mountain. I am so glad there are people like him doing the job that he does, and can say for myself that I will strive to achieve a similar outlook on life.
I would be honored to have this person as my friend. He is such an honest, kind, smart person.
“Because if I gave up I wouldn’t meet amazing people like you” that bit got me🥺 he’s so amazing!!! I’d love to be his friend
Right? Just wish there was a way to reach out and send positive vibes. ❤️
you'd be his friend but would ц fцск нiм and show him what he's missing? Would u treat him like a man and be his wife?

@@jasonm343 was this necessary??
@@lucyfoster2911 I guess not I'm just mad I've never had a girlfriend
The fact that he feels safe in his moms room when he’s having bad schizophrenia episodes is so sweet
This is nothing to say „this is so sweet..“ but do what you want to do
@@florentin4061 I think he meant "sweet" as being very caring...
Not trying to be negative but there’s nothing sweet about that
Is like saying is sweet kids hiding on bunkers during bombing because they feel safe

@@eliudonofre6763 they weren’t calling the situation sweet, they were calling his mom sweet.

"Because if I gave up I wouldn't meet awesome people like you"
bro
It makes me really happy to see that nobody in the comments are being mean :)
True, and I would report anyone if i saw them
@@juuk3103 yes sir
He’s so self aware and articulate. I teared up numerous times throughout the course of this video solely because of how brave he was to come out and speak on his diagnoses on social media despite how unfriendly people can be. His support system is amazing; you can tell how wholesome his mother’s parenting has been as well as how impactful his relationship with his sister has been.💜
Literally, crying and laughing at the same time. Like this show!!
I think if everybody watched this youtube channel the world would be a better place. It's a great thing that you're doing, giving all these people a voice!
LITERALLY
I'm schizophrenic and autistic (and more) and I can only wonder if people see me like this man. Thanks for bravely speaking up for the rest of us.
He seems very self aware of his situation and the severity of it. He’s a very bright person I really wish him the best life he can possibly have
I have schizophrenia too. Its a real struggle i admire him bc he seems truly strong 💪 ❤
I'm really sorry for you. That's probably one of the worst things you can have. All the people who live with that are so brave and strong! 🙌
♥️👍
you to seem to be truly strong and we share the same name Danielle
At least youre never alone...
im living in your walls that's not just a random comment🧿
Miguel has a strength that not many could ever comprehend
I have a bachelors degree in film and his response to how movies let him escape truly moved me. ❤️ I hope medication and therapy can put this man on the right track.
i like how the mother said “are they talking to you now” and told him to fight it thru instead of asking what are they saying, that’s respect.
meu irmão é exatamente como ele, foi a diagnosticado com 12 anos, hoje com está 24. Os jeitos, afeição, olhar fixo e vago, a risada. Tudo igual, até as crises. Obrigada por esse vídeo, eu estou tão triste e feliz ao mesmo tempo. Pois, meu irmão perdeu a fala, ( não que ele perdeu de vez, e sim pq ele não quer falar. Nos falaram que o grau dele é o mais severo, esfrizofenia grau 3.) Ele não responde, quando o chamamos, não chora, não fica feliz, ela não tem nenhum reação. Apenas as crises e a risada involuntário e eu não tinha a mínima noção de como como se sentia por dentro. E nesse vídeo eu posso ter uma noção. É tão doloroso e esclarecedor, tantas ações dele, sendo justificada por esse vídeo. Mesmo que cada um tem sua vivência, eu compreendi e entendi muitas coisas. Obrigada por esse vídeo. ❤🙏
Oi, Zaine! Parabéns para você e sua família pela luta diária com seu irmão. Só quem tem pessoas com transtornos tão severos em casa, sabe o quão doloroso e às vezes desesperador é. Tomar cuidado com o que fala, se preocupar com o futuro, vigiar, tentar entender e...meu Deus!São tantas coisas. Continuem fortes😉
Esse tipo de pessoa está mais conectada com o plano astral , por isso é fácil ver ,ouvir e sentir seres que estão por aqui mas não vemos, ou até mesmo coom seu próprio ego
Eu acredito que talvez não sejam alucinações e sim conexão com outros planos, eu não posso imaginar como isso é difícil para ele e para vocês que o amam. Mas tenho certeza de que tudo está certo da maneira como tem que ser, desejo força e amor ao seu irmão e sua família.

I smiled and laughed many times throughout the interview but I absolutely love when he did the fist bump from big hero 6! I recognized it as soon as he did it and it filled my heart with so much joy. My son loves to do fist bumps like that too. I wish this man so much happiness and success. His laugh is contagious and I couldn’t help but smile, laugh, and feel joy with him ❤️
8:03 when he hugs his sister it makes me so happy :’) I can’t even describe the powerful emotions this evokes in me, sadness, happiness, hope, sympathy, fear, compassion. Such an angel, bless him. As a neurotypical person with no mental health issues, this really makes me snap back to reality and count my blessings. I’ve been taking it for granted my entire life, that I am able to think clearly and not have to fight a continuous battle like this brave soldier
When Miguel gave his sister that hug and let out this breath of relief and security and said “this is how I feel”. That was enough to make a grown man cry. Nothing but love and respect for u Miguel.
Thank you
E ainda tem gente que dá deslike em um video desses, e tão impactante como ele tenta falar o que sente, e o que ver.
Mesmo
Verdade
Tava pensando como tem tanto imbecil para dar deslike em um vídeo lindo desse.
Da tanta dó de ver a agonia dele em se concentrar.. tadinho
Tem gente ruim no mundo tudo mesmo.
When you told the young man that you want to understand him, and he replied ooh. That's so sweet, it helped him relax. You are an amazing wonderful person to help people like me and others understand a person dealing with situations that people don't understand. You know how to help people relax.
He is so caring, smart and knows how he feels the love he have for his sister and mom is priceless. I know it hard for me to ADHD and anxiety. So I can only imagine how hard it is for him with the voices in his head. Keep staying positive. I will be your friend. You are truly a amazing man.
You know what really hits? His desire and appreciation for real friends is exactly what so many people quietly wish for in their own lives.
Loved hearing Miguel’s laugh and smile. I hope he’s doing well. He seems like such a kind and gentle person. I also loved the advice he gave!

Its actually an extremely sad thing to think about someone as nice and innocent as him being picked on. It choked me up tbh. Thank you
This young man is so intelligent. I think he needs deliverance .Mum needs to get serious in prayer. God will deliver him if you ask him. Please contact a holy ghost pastor to pray with him.
He is very aware of himself and his emotions. Well spoken and a great communicate. You can tell his family got him the resources he needed early.

Good luck Miguel and family!

Miquel is lucky to have a loving support, like his mom and his sister. This is absolutely the best
Type of unconditional love. I worry what happens to him if there is no longer someone to take care of him. What a terrible way to live hearing and seeing things that don’t exist. He is so open to answering questions. Thank goodness for mama ❤️
This was genuinely sweet. I hope he knows how many people were able to hear his story!
This is one of the bravest kids I’ve seen. He’s consciously aware of what’s going on. God bless him and his family. I want to give him a hug and play video games.

And to know that he is indeed “alone” in his head in a sense makes him saying that so much more beautiful (but also sad)
Even with all of the effects he goes through he still shines through it in his answers, definitely a unique brain in there.
@M M i get the joke, but because of the situation is was hard to find it funny. Maybe because it's a serious video.. like there's times to joke and times not to kinda thing
I'd honestly love to hang out with Miguel if the opportunity ever came about. He seems like such a cool, interesting and polite guy. Really admire that. You keep doing what you're doing, my man. Live the best life you can. Hope nothing but the best for you!!
Man I had psychosis earlier this year . And you really can’t tell what’s real and what’s not real . Damn I really felt that one of them is feeling your not alone . Even if it’s just voices In your head
Have things gotten better for you now? I deal with derealization at times and sometime worry that it will turn into psychosis :/
Miguel’s a nicer guy than like 80% of people I know, so he’s doing a good job
Wow he's so aware. He thanks his mom for not abandoning him. 💚
Miguel seems like a very nice person. All the best to him!
He has to deal with all of this but still his gentle nature shines through. His mum and sister too are just brilliant. So lovely. What absolute champions.
