Logically it makes zero sense." It honestly affects most of my social interactions. I'm trying my hardest not to get hung up on the factual or logical inaccuracies people have, but it is really hard with the brain I've been given.
I've been in denial about my therapist HFA diagnosis, I'm just tired and would rather not have yet another diagnosis. However, this video sways me towards HFA being a highly likely diagnosis. I can frighteningly relate to everything said. I do have a criticism about what seems to be a disregard for women. I heard lots of his, him and husband references that discount the research that there are more women that have autism than previously believed. Women have the ability to mask a lot of the symptoms to a certain extent but it is exhausting. I'm finding that girls/women are diagnosed much later in life when they can no longer maintain the mask. Nonetheless thanks for this video - it was very helpful for me.
@@williamwimbourne856 She female and they make it seem it only affects man. Because only masculine pronouns use most people don't think it affects females leading to them getting ignored not getting the right help. Could also be why females mask more and therefor become better at it they had to go through life isolated and alone with boys there is more understanding things in place to help. If a female was acting different from the norm its blamed that they are just bad people and they are more likely to get left out no support
@@williamwimbourne856 Because using those terms completely erases a large number of people from the conversation. I can't help but think you'd definitely understand the problem if the video had used a preponderance of feminine pronouns.

Same! Except mine is RUclips haha. It’s very similar, I prepare all the video and everything (which does take work but stay with me) and then once I hit that *click* like you do it’s a sense of satisfaction that I’ve used logic and analysis to come up with an idea and manifest it.

@@NaviYT Great tips there Navi.. thank you! I think my first few will be poetry based. My long term aim is documentaries, but there are lots of great poems which touch on the subjects I'd like to talk about, so illustrating those with suitable visuals, sound fx etc will be a good starting point I think. I haven't really done anything creative for many, many years, but I used to dabble in all sorts of things in the past, music, animation, video etc, so it'll be good to brush up on those skills and learn some of the modern tools. It might be a while as I've quite a few other things going on right now and I'm susceptible to overwhelming myself by trying to do too many things at once, but I'll follow you now and give you a heads-up when I have my first one up!
As a woman, some of us have more of the emotional intelligence. You completely described a huge problem that has affected my life. Thank you. I have ADD diagnosis, but that doesn't fully account for all of my problems. I was diagnosed with autism level 1 last year. I need a 2nd opinion because the psychologist seems to have dealt with mostly the male traits and isn't familiar with female autism traits.
Exactly... When I was 8 or so a boy was "flirting" with me at a wedding and my mother pointed it out. I told her something along the lines of "well, he lives in another city, so why should waste my time now when it could never possibly work out on the long run?"
That just makes sense to me. Is it odd to think that? I genuinly want to know, my therapist has told me to research HFB and I'm starting to somewhat see her point.
@@plowe6751 High functioning brain. I don't know much about it since it turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. If it is for self diagnostic purposes, I recomend talking to your GP about it. There are always tell tale signs doctors use for diagnostics and if you can talk to one for more than 5 minutes, ie have reliable medical assistance, you should be good. Otherwise I wish you luck friend. Even if there is a direct negative effect on your health and well being, you could be waiting years.
I agree with the analogy at 1:45 except... he is going off his perception of it. As someone on the spectrum I would change his analogy or at least reword it to more: "Prepare, Position, Deep Breath, Ready, Focus eyes, Aim, Stifle breathing on a second layer to focus the retina, double check the above in a singular instance as you slowly squeeze the trigger, Fire!" I may be speaking for myself, but its not a lack of inaction from not knowing what to do, but moreso the inability to get to the designated "Fire!" consistently, as getting prepared for the action of firing itself is the most analytical part that gets overlooked about the autistic brain. Yes, we vary in our abilities to function and apply knowledge or the fundamental basis of such rationale. Yet we get stuck making sure we get it all correct and that we have every minuscule thing down to the core correct and understood. I guess a simple way to explain the above is for someone with autism - You prepare alot because regardless of the the bullets, you only have 1 in the chamber, and missing means restarting from the beginning with a new bullet and thought process of its use and so on. Being overly-logical is not fun, especially while high functioning, because it stunts split second decisions with the understanding and execution consciously of multitudes of micro managements. And thus stunts every day life, as if we get stuck in those simple details how are we to even think of functioning with the rest of society? There's too much information to process at once at any given time. So remember, its more than "Ready, Aim, Fire!" because the deeper you look into it, the more you can truly perfect anything with the slightest change, and thats where the mind of a High Functioning Autistic can easily complicate things for the Neurotypical brain, as it needs not the information the average autistic takes in.
How many times did you re-draft your post? I wager it took all morning to write, and all the important things got left till later while you prioritised this post 🙈
This is not for all of us for instance. When I analyze , i picture what I’m trying to do and realize that hesitation (which will stop you) is absolutely pointless. And pulling that trigger is a lot more satisfying. Obviously you can get stuck procrastinating but for me when it comes to planning I make a sound plan with no hesitation since I know it’s pointless.. I just realized while writing this I get really irritated and frustrated listening to my wife make a list or plan something cause it’s taking to long and Is not efficient enough, so I do it with no hesitation, maybe there’s a trick somewhere in there 😂
Totally agree. I used to get the butterflies in my stomach...then after a few attempts found I could do things - then retrained my brain such that butterflies are good. But I do recognize some traits here. I call.the my matchbox moments. It is like a wall ... you need a nudge to understand you can walk over that little detail. Again using logic to de-stress and reduce anxiety.
@@stephenhookings1985 I have used the same logic in preparing for an interview. I said to myself that what I actually was afraid of was whether they accepted me or not and it wasn't that I was afraid to talk. So I told myself if they do not accept me that is fine.
I typed a huge thank you to you Mark, but my self consciousness got the better of me so I deleted it and am giving you the "cliff notes" version. In as many words as I am (poorly) capable of putting my thoughts into the English language to covey things, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening my eyes to help me understand a bit better that I'm not just whack-a-do that no one really understands but I am (as I have suspected for a very long time) a high functioning autistic.I'm not religious but I feel you are doing gods work with this. Your cadence and tone are comforting and serve to help carry your message very well. I've been more than flirting with the "self delete" option my whole life and for the first time in my life I finally feel like I have hope and can get some help working with my affliction thanks to you.
As someone who is autistic I have Ben thinking about the universe lately and When scientists say everything is based on logic 😐ok what about consciousness? What about the concept of life and death?🤔when we say in death we will NEVER exist we will NEVER live again 😑and that may be however….if that was really the case how can you explain why the earth formed ?🤔why the universe exists at all? What would be the point of living if if their no point of no return?😐also why were we born in specific points of earths history?😐you could say you did not exist yea no sh!t 😑 however I have found a possible link between life and death the universe is run by molecules not by consciousness 😑however we do have a consciousness 😐we say we will NEVER exist ever again 😐we will NEVER live again 😐but saying that is like saying the earth will NEVER form the universe will NEVER happen again 😐I just think their is much more then just saying this is beginning or the end 😑
@@bolinhong2598 yea but for me it could be a evolution advantage 😐if you over think everything it could make you more cautious in the world and have a better chance of survival 😐in fact if it was not for me for having autism I would not understand very complicated things like the universe and the nature of our very existence 😐and I have no regrets about it 😎
I'm autistic, my sons are autistic. But some of the stuff my older son thinks are crazy. He got mad at a car that swooped in behind us. He yelled that he cut us off. I told him that that was ridiculous, I was in front! He was in high school! Swears that our thyroid problems cannot be fixed. We are born with it and that you will die if you stop taking thyroid meds. Screams at me to stop taking vitamins. Refuses to consider that they might help. He's 32.
“Now when over-analysis kicks in, the thoughts are in charge of the thinker” That’s fucking brilliant! Incredibly informative & helpful video from start to finish, but I have to say I liked & subscribed after that statement alone haha
I can't figure out where I sit. High functioning, Autistic, Aspergers, AHDH, etc. I talked with several therapists now with no concise determination . I really don't think I need any medication and feel most people in that field are just trying to figure themselves out. I really love a lot of obscure subjects but shallow as a kiddie pool when I dig into it. I was a outgoing straight A student, athlete, musician, but also hid my dyslexia, issues with high pitch sounds, lights. I am in a good place but at 44 struggling to relate. Sorry about the rant but have gone down a youtube rabbit hole. My obsession with time is great for being a drummer but very off-putting to most people.
Do you have more like this for subscribers? This was incredibly helpful specifically for the topic. The format makes it easier to digest too. I definitely spend a lot of time in 'preparation' over action. Unsure what the primary goal is: less mistakes or less embarrassment.
Too much right left brain and not enough right brain. Do creative things (drawing) etc. to force right brain activity which should help balance the constant analysis.
I do art nonstop. But this was soooooooooo accurate to me in every way. But I’m also ADHD, so I find myself hitting 80% of both categories. It’s been the most liberating few days since I learned they finally allowed the combined diagnosis. I’ve been screaming it my whole life, but the books always say you can’t have both, so I had nothing, so good luck chum. It’s been hard.

This has been interesting. I've been trying to research how autism and aspergers affect and how to help my boyfriend. He gets stuck on everything. I've been trying to get as much help on how to handle my boyfriend with this because it's new to me.
🤟🏻💀🕰️ This video just read me like a book… it almost made me cry, because of how accurate it is about how I am. Good Stuff and Take Care Out There. 😺✌️
What if I am very creative, emotional, right brainish, dyslexic (both hemispheres same size), I overthink. Emotionally, I relate to the nt female. But, I shut down, procrastinate, and outburst when overly stressed too. What is my deal?
When someone speaks, each lexical and syntax are interpreted in formal logic, noun, verb, adjective, forming subject, predicate = premise. When someone next makes an observation try thinking in those terms. (It took 40mins to write this comment and it's still not right) I recognise I need to move on though.
Yes, exactly. Same thing happens whenever I try to write. I obsess over how every word input might change the overall structure of the whole text and if it will “fit” within the conditions shaped by every “input”.
I was told to learn about HFB or high functioning brain and I don't think it fits me, I have the complete lack of planning because of the reason given, it won't get done. This leads to me spending recklessly and doing things I probably shouldn't though. In all fairness though, what people seem to think as abnormal in the comments kinda just makes sense to me.
I'm not sure that what you are talking about. But I really have a huge problem with being logic. I see a lot of details, whatever I do, and I find the world and people absurdly illogical. I 'm working on it, because they can be super strong triggers... And no one seems to understand, telling me the world is fonctionning like that, don't ruin your life with such little things... For example if someone says I call you at 4pm, if it' s 4.30pm it's not accurate. When people drive to quick and have to pay, they became very angry, and I explain to them there's nothing to be angry at, you do something wrong, so it's logic. And it's happening again and again, with actions, langage (I'm french speaker
I 'm a French speaker so sorry for my English), and with numbers. (I' m following the comment, I typed send by mistake). People can say it was 2 weeks ago. No, it was 16 days ago, for example. I try to find people or literature about rigid logic, to move forward. Thank you
It seems very strange to think everything has logic to it 😐even for me I don’t know everything and I will continue to learn new things 🙂but something about the universe I have thinking ok scientists still can’t figure out out is about consciousness and Ok, we will never live again happy?😐 earth dies the universe dies and nothing will happen ever again 😑that’s logic 😑I feel their is much more to it then just logic 😐after all it’s not like we were the first humans nor were are the last 😑however the question I have is like if everything is based on logic then how can you explain why we are here?😐most would say Evolution and that’s true but I mean more deep 😑why were we born in specific points of the earths history?🤔 I could have Ben anything 😐before I was born so tell me why so specific?🤔 also if earth can evolve why not another ?😐also could the real meaning of life and death is all about….experience?🤔 I don’t know 😐but if does seem quite sus if this will be our only and first life 😐I feel we are not getting the bigger picture 😓
I'm looking through everything, and can't find anything that relates completely to me ,,I feel like I'm on a part of the spectrum that literally no one else is 🤷
My husband has been diagnosed with HFA at 4 yrs old, according to my mother in law. We live on different continents. But he's extremely illogical and definetly not highly intelligent. I think he needs to do a new evaluation... Everything else is him.
Unbelievable I never thought anybody would be able to understand and figure me out completely I have always been like this my whole life logical completely totally to the point where I really had a hard time with being able to read write and understand and comprehend things other than what was logically running around in my brain
@@markhutten i think something worth looking into is the correlation of high functioning autism and weed abuse, myself i abused weed for 2 years now since i was 17, short term it did help my anxiety but long term it has caused me unable to work and leave the house due to worry and fear, im now 5 days sober as i know it will only get worse. There isnt much out there on it and i know everyone is different but for me it onset panic attacks and anxiety more and more everyday.
@@markhutten what exactly does a therapist provide that I'm incapable of doing myself? I have spent some time investigating the methods of 'helping' someone in my position, but I have yet to find something that works. I was asking out of desperation. Thank you for the sarcasm.
Yeah, my dad's diagnosed and he is abusive. I also have problems to being quick tempered just like him. Some of us can be more patient and thoughtful though. I have a hard time being the bigger person and not exploding from another person's emotion/words towards me. I do realize where I'm wrong when I'm wrong, whereas my dad can't admit to wrong even after conflict.
As the survivor or the perpetrator? Definitely a consistent amount of unintentional stalling has led to many cases where that has been weaponized by abusive partners as an excuse to explode and physically assault a mind that’s stuck in a loop of over analyzing.
nt's logical side is under-deveolped

I find the more that is emotionally invested in the outcome,the more likely my thoughts are to spiral into rumination and then inaction.
I’m a planner for a living and it suits me wonderfully well 👍
In laymen’s terms what is ASD Level 2. Rather what does it look like in an adult male, 52 years old?
I typed a huge thank you to you Mark, but my self consciousness got the better of me so I deleted it and am giving you the "cliff notes" version. In as many words as I am (poorly) capable of putting my thoughts into the English language to covey things, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening my eyes to help me understand a bit better that I'm not just whack-a-do that no one really understands but I am (as I have suspected for a very long time) a high functioning autistic.I'm not religious but I feel you are doing gods work with this. Your cadence and tone are comforting and serve to help carry your message very well. I've been more than flirting with the "self delete" option my whole life and for the first time in my life I finally feel like I have hope and can get some help working with my affliction thanks to you.
How sweet.... that makes my day ;) Thank you!
That's how I became wealthy, being just the way I do!
Where there any resources that you used to help you?
I have this and its so debilitating
Spot on. That is me to a T. I’ve sat on so many projects over the years.
As someone who is autistic I have Ben thinking about the universe lately and When scientists say everything is based on logic 😐ok what about consciousness? What about the concept of life and death?🤔when we say in death we will NEVER exist we will NEVER live again 😑and that may be however….if that was really the case how can you explain why the earth formed ?🤔why the universe exists at all? What would be the point of living if if their no point of no return?😐also why were we born in specific points of earths history?😐you could say you did not exist yea no sh!t 😑 however I have found a possible link between life and death the universe is run by molecules not by consciousness 😑however we do have a consciousness 😐we say we will NEVER exist ever again 😐we will NEVER live again 😐but saying that is like saying the earth will NEVER form the universe will NEVER happen again 😐I just think their is much more then just saying this is beginning or the end 😑
@@bolinhong2598 yea but for me it could be a evolution advantage 😐if you over think everything it could make you more cautious in the world and have a better chance of survival 😐in fact if it was not for me for having autism I would not understand very complicated things like the universe and the nature of our very existence 😐and I have no regrets about it 😎
I'm autistic, my sons are autistic. But some of the stuff my older son thinks are crazy. He got mad at a car that swooped in behind us. He yelled that he cut us off. I told him that that was ridiculous, I was in front! He was in high school! Swears that our thyroid problems cannot be fixed. We are born with it and that you will die if you stop taking thyroid meds. Screams at me to stop taking vitamins. Refuses to consider that they might help. He's 32.
So much truth packed into 4 minutes
Well at least I don't under think
“Now when over-analysis kicks in, the thoughts are in charge of the thinker”
That’s fucking brilliant!
Incredibly informative & helpful video from start to finish, but I have to say I liked & subscribed after that statement alone haha
I can't figure out where I sit. High functioning, Autistic, Aspergers, AHDH, etc. I talked with several therapists now with no concise determination . I really don't think I need any medication and feel most people in that field are just trying to figure themselves out. I really love a lot of obscure subjects but shallow as a kiddie pool when I dig into it. I was a outgoing straight A student, athlete, musician, but also hid my dyslexia, issues with high pitch sounds, lights. I am in a good place but at 44 struggling to relate. Sorry about the rant but have gone down a youtube rabbit hole. My obsession with time is great for being a drummer but very off-putting to most people.
Do you have more like this for subscribers? This was incredibly helpful specifically for the topic. The format makes it easier to digest too.
I definitely spend a lot of time in 'preparation' over action. Unsure what the primary goal is: less mistakes or less embarrassment.
Too much right left brain and not enough right brain. Do creative things (drawing) etc. to force right brain activity which should help balance the constant analysis.
I do art nonstop. But this was soooooooooo accurate to me in every way. But I’m also ADHD, so I find myself hitting 80% of both categories. It’s been the most liberating few days since I learned they finally allowed the combined diagnosis. I’ve been screaming it my whole life, but the books always say you can’t have both, so I had nothing, so good luck chum. It’s been hard.

.... why is this attacking me word for word
Thank you.
Wow, I resemble those remarks!
This has been interesting. I've been trying to research how autism and aspergers affect and how to help my boyfriend. He gets stuck on everything. I've been trying to get as much help on how to handle my boyfriend with this because it's new to me.
As someone who dated an aspie: be careful and watch out for yourself. If you see signs of becoming his carrier - leave
🤟🏻💀🕰️ This video just read me like a book… it almost made me cry, because of how accurate it is about how I am. Good Stuff and Take Care Out There. 😺✌️
I'm so glad!
What if I am very creative, emotional, right brainish, dyslexic (both hemispheres same size), I overthink. Emotionally, I relate to the nt female. But, I shut down, procrastinate, and outburst when overly stressed too. What is my deal?
Socially awkward! Most people don't get me.
Me with high functioning autism just over analyzed this masterpiece of an explanation! Great vid!
When someone speaks, each lexical and syntax are interpreted in formal logic, noun, verb, adjective, forming subject, predicate = premise. When someone next makes an observation try thinking in those terms. (It took 40mins to write this comment and it's still not right) I recognise I need to move on though.
Yes, exactly. Same thing happens whenever I try to write. I obsess over how every word input might change the overall structure of the whole text and if it will “fit” within the conditions shaped by every “input”.
I was told to learn about HFB or high functioning brain and I don't think it fits me, I have the complete lack of planning because of the reason given, it won't get done. This leads to me spending recklessly and doing things I probably shouldn't though. In all fairness though, what people seem to think as abnormal in the comments kinda just makes sense to me.
I'm not sure that what you are talking about. But I really have a huge problem with being logic. I see a lot of details, whatever I do, and I find the world and people absurdly illogical. I 'm working on it, because they can be super strong triggers... And no one seems to understand, telling me the world is fonctionning like that, don't ruin your life with such little things... For example if someone says I call you at 4pm, if it' s 4.30pm it's not accurate. When people drive to quick and have to pay, they became very angry, and I explain to them there's nothing to be angry at, you do something wrong, so it's logic. And it's happening again and again, with actions, langage (I'm french speaker
I 'm a French speaker so sorry for my English), and with numbers. (I' m following the comment, I typed send by mistake). People can say it was 2 weeks ago. No, it was 16 days ago, for example.
I try to find people or literature about rigid logic, to move forward. Thank you
It seems very strange to think everything has logic to it 😐even for me I don’t know everything and I will continue to learn new things 🙂but something about the universe I have thinking ok scientists still can’t figure out out is about consciousness and Ok, we will never live again happy?😐 earth dies the universe dies and nothing will happen ever again 😑that’s logic 😑I feel their is much more to it then just logic 😐after all it’s not like we were the first humans nor were are the last 😑however the question I have is like if everything is based on logic then how can you explain why we are here?😐most would say Evolution and that’s true but I mean more deep 😑why were we born in specific points of the earths history?🤔 I could have Ben anything 😐before I was born so tell me why so specific?🤔 also if earth can evolve why not another ?😐also could the real meaning of life and death is all about….experience?🤔 I don’t know 😐but if does seem quite sus if this will be our only and first life 😐I feel we are not getting the bigger picture 😓
Sometimes you have to close your eyes and just do it.
Bruh...this is me 100%.
I'm looking through everything, and can't find anything that relates completely to me ,,I feel like I'm on a part of the spectrum that literally no one else is 🤷
me too
You’re so spot on, it sounds like someone gave you the manual everyone would like to have.
Technically it is illogical to get mentally stuck.
haha
My husband has been diagnosed with HFA at 4 yrs old, according to my mother in law. We live on different continents. But he's extremely illogical and definetly not highly intelligent. I think he needs to do a new evaluation... Everything else is him.
You’re amazing, thank you 😊
Dam,it's like he can read my thoughts
Unbelievable I never thought anybody would be able to understand and figure me out completely I have always been like this my whole life logical completely totally to the point where I really had a hard time with being able to read write and understand and comprehend things other than what was logically running around in my brain
Accurate.
My brother keeps complaining that he can't get high and drunk and he's convinced it that it helps him and that's the only way he's happy.
What do you mean? It helps him how?
@@Z0MBiiK1TTY it helps him to be numb. He wants to go through life not feeling. He wants a lifetime of being numb.
@@roxannestanton9439 I wonder what makes him feel that need though.
This explains me to a tee (except I also have adhd)
Don't use the word high functioning it's not a compliment
Fantastic video. Thank you for helping me understand this better
I can't take single decision
Its a blessing and a curse really
Fuck. I have autism
The thing never gets done.
Ok.
Yup...yup....yup....yup.....
Overly logical doesnt exist.
Ive fired multiple times. You should try it sometime being my works free.
Everyone has emotion so you can't always be thinking logically unless you're a psychopath.
@@Z0MBiiK1TTY
Is sadism logical in a 14.5+ billion earth year sized universe when everyone with relativistic weaponry isnt running on random mutation?
yup, this is me
😩 this is me to a t
Once again thank you so so much for helping us be understood
Happy to help!
@@markhutten i think something worth looking into is the correlation of high functioning autism and weed abuse, myself i abused weed for 2 years now since i was 17, short term it did help my anxiety but long term it has caused me unable to work and leave the house due to worry and fear, im now 5 days sober as i know it will only get worse. There isnt much out there on it and i know everyone is different but for me it onset panic attacks and anxiety more and more everyday.
Almost sounds like anxiety.
Overanalyzing is often something that results from anxiety.....
We suffer acute anxiety in the predominantly neurotypical world.
@@51elephantchang yes we do!
yes. Advice?
A good therapist...
@@markhutten what exactly does a therapist provide that I'm incapable of doing myself? I have spent some time investigating the methods of 'helping' someone in my position, but I have yet to find something that works. I was asking out of desperation. Thank you for the sarcasm.
@@richard1311 I don't know what you're incapable of...
If my ASD husband heard this, he would get stuck on aim /fire. He’s a hunter as a hobby. He will say, I have no problem dropping a deer….
Why aren't you mentioning that dating someone who has this. Will put you in a situation of domestic violence.
Yeah, my dad's diagnosed and he is abusive. I also have problems to being quick tempered just like him. Some of us can be more patient and thoughtful though. I have a hard time being the bigger person and not exploding from another person's emotion/words towards me. I do realize where I'm wrong when I'm wrong, whereas my dad can't admit to wrong even after conflict.
As the survivor or the perpetrator? Definitely a consistent amount of unintentional stalling has led to many cases where that has been weaponized by abusive partners as an excuse to explode and physically assault a mind that’s stuck in a loop of over analyzing.
