Hang on the metal music and autism connection makes sense because rocking can be a form of metal head banging, screaming and strange noises are good and ok, also sometimes you want loud music to drown out all the other noise, and metal music is usually on the fringes of society like neurodivergent people are and songs are often about some form of oppression whether it's internal or external. So he's got a point.
I don't have autism but I'm 90% sure I have ADHD (undiagnosed) and I can agree that metal is my favorite genre and helps me focus/stay calm and get shit done. I have fallen asleep to it before lol
Off topic but this reminded me of the time I had to use metal as white noise to drown out the neighbor's annoying dog that wouldnt stop barking at night so I could sleep for a few weeks. It was either that or I lashed out at the owners for not bringing the damn thing indoors (was in high school then for context and already not getting enough sleep). It feels weird to listen to music *without* headphones now bc it's primarily a medium to keep me from actually going insane. Alot of us are night owls and/or introverted because most people aren't awake doing construction at midnight, at the expense of being constantly sleep deprived and even more irritable... its a vicious cycle.
when I was a kid metal was like white noise for me. my parents didn’t understand it and I don’t listen to it as much now but I’m glad it works like that for others too
Sometimes metal even helped me to concentrate more and even finish assignments and homework. I have as much as the same opinion for Rave (The Prodigy) and breakcore
I'd have to agree with you.
12:41 wait were neurotypicals the fae all along? i'm realising now that this is exactly how fairies act in folklore, with the strict untold internal logic that rewards those who follow it and punishes those who don't. holy shit
First of all a solid point and I agree with you wholeheartedly how can we ever answer the riddles three if we never get told the riddles three
Second is it just me or is that guy's voice dopamine concentrate
Third that is the best profile picture and username I've ever seen my friend
Nah man, the fae at least play fairer than that. Yes, they will trap you in a prison of words, but there is a chance to see past the trick and actually solve it. They would give you riddles with a non obvious, slightly contradicting answer, but they would still give the questions. The fae are WAY easier to unserstand than NTs.
when you break the rules of hospitality, the fae have power over you
when you break the rules of socializing, the neurotypicals have social power over you
and they always ask for your name before giving their own...
hmm...
I feel like we're the Fae to NT people and the NT people are Fae to us. Neither of us understand how the other think (ex. A few years back my mother started warning me that "you don't get Christmas as an adult" then asked me what I want for Christmas this year. I was confused, she said I don't get it now?) and while NTS not communicating clearly confuses us, they seem to think everything is a "hint" and that we want something from them, so we probably feel like a riddle to them too
@@justaperson4656 as a nt person, we don't get that one either your mum sounds confused
I used to think having autism made me unlovable and a burden to deal with, but you know what? There's a 1 in 3 chance I could have been born with a peanut allergy instead, and I wasn't. I cannot imagine a life without nuts in it.
Dude, if the non-nutsuckers can live happy lives, anyone can. If people will read through the ingredients of every damn food item just so they dont poison their loved one, autism will be a breeze
As someone with a peanut allergy, a severe one at that, my life is great without nuts. (The food and otherwise...) Back in grade school there was a peanut allergy table, I had to sit there with the other allergic kids. My friends would come sit with me at lunch, which was nice, but I kinda felt bad.
And I had to get allergy shots. Every month, one in each arm, for 6-7 years straight. If I missed an appointment, we would have to go in twice, and sometimes 3 times a month. I stopped doing them a few years ago. I no longer am allergic to tree nuts, but I still avoid them at all costs. (I'm still severely allergic to peanuts😃)
Me with Autism who doesn't eat peanuts cause openung them frustrates me and they aren't a good good stimulation
wow thats nuts
Watching this video whilst hugging my body pillow lol also, a tip for other ND who like stimulation: I made my body pillow a crochet cover with fabric "yarn" (don't know how it's called in English, but it's not regular yarn, it's like a really long piece of fabric that people use for making bags and baskets). It leaves a bunch of space in between the stitches, so it's really textured but it's still soft. I like rubbing and hugging it to sleep.
Oooo interesting! Do you know which stitch you used for it?
@@Pebbles_Smoothie yes, i did double stitches to have it really stretchy
@@cleticiaas00 Double crochet?
@@Pebbles_Smoothie yes haha sorry, im brazilian, but yes, i did double crochet
That sounds amazing
3:29 he stole their earring :O
i genuinely could not focus bc i was so distressed w the earring snatcher
@@yourbookisexceptionallylou4906 same i was watching the bird steal both of the mand throwing htem off
It's a really good thing I already knew about the study from 3:40 because that bird had me thoroughly sidetracked
lol right it took her earrings out and dropped them on the floor
that bird is on a warpath for earrings and good for him
SAME SAME SAME I fucking love that bird dude like he had a mission and he sTUCK TO IT!! But also I know that if I had said bird, it would drive me absolutely batshit. Cute bird, but no touch my things
Lol right
Birb
The rolling eyes thing changed my life. I never knew what rolling your eyes meant until now
Also that girl talking about that study was interesting but the parrot thief just took my apart. Kudos for being able to focus on talking when your parrot is stealing your earrings lol
For the longest time as a kid, (probably til i was ~10) I thought that "rolling your eyes" was that thing where people roll their eyes all the way up so only the white shows, so my answer was always "but i don't know how to do that!"
That might've been a sign lol
Rolling I've always associated with going in a circle. When I look up, my eyes don't go in a circle. So therefore, I'm not rolling my eyes. I've told this to my family and yet they still think I'm being rude.
For a lot of ND people, sensory issues can manifest in the form of being a "picky eater". Things like taste, texture, smell, form of a food can make it really hard to eat.
And guess what? Taste is a sense! Ability to sens texture in your mouth is a sens! Smell is a sens!
Anyway, that's how I realized all my least-favorite foods have bad textures.
PS: "internal" senses can also be affected by sensory issues.
E.g. : not being able to feel when you're hungry or thirsty.
Gonna take this opportunity to send a big screw you to eggs, they are the literal worst
Coconut has bad texture and can leave, thank you very much
various animal livers suck
Strawberries are just too much man
@@chamomileeeee just want to second this and also add: every other berry. They look so squishy, but no. No. Its like meat, only from the ground. Dirt meat. That someone coated in syrup.
my dr acknowledged that there's "something going on" with me, but didn't want to specifically say autism because I'm a concert addict that goes to live shows A LOT, so she said because I enjoy loud music in a large public space with lots of people, that alone completely wipes out the possibility of me having autism... also because I'm "very good at speaking" to her (???) even though she's seen me go nonvocal in several other situations where it wasn't just her and me alone and I had other people and stressors that caused me to be overwhelmed and shut down. literally multiple sessions of her saying "oh you're a completely different person today" or "I don't recognize this person you are today" like ??? just put it on the ding dang paper, doc, I need to move on with my life
That's terrible reasoning. That might be a good doctor and maybe they didn't communicate their reasoning very well, but enjoying concerts and loud music does not magically mean that autism isn't a useful label for your experience. I'm not saying they suck or that you need a new doctor, there are many factors to weigh, but I don't agree with their reasoning explained here and I would encourage you to talk to them further about it and ask them to clarify their reasoning to you so that you can get a more satisfactory explanation. If they're unwilling to do that, or bad at doing it in a way that meets your needs, then it's time to consider a new doctor.
bruh who forgot to tell her that its a spectrum disorder 💀💀
2:10 holy SHIT is that why my mom says "oh are you rolling your eyes at me?" whenever i like. even just glance upwards for a moment when shes talking to me??????? what the FUCK.
Chewing with BOTH sides of your mouth?? Oh no, that is sensory HELL 💀💀💀💀
I was looking for a comment on this one! I laughed when he said chewing on both sides, but when he said at that same time!!! Whaaattt?
I was looking for a comment like this too! I've literally just had my mind blown...I had no idea it was possible to chew on both sides of your mouth AT THE SAME TIME! Like what?! Tried it a few times but I just don't get it. Takes too much concentration and feels awful! So confused....!!!
@@alishalumley5733 Same!
I have a slight fear of choking…maybe? Like whenever I had a loose tooth I was scared to chock on it but I think it’s more of a sensory thing. Like I will chew smoothies because it feels wrong not to.
But I have almost never chewed with both sides of my mouth. When I do it feels like I have to much food in my mouth or that I’m going to choke. It can also get very distracting because then Im concerned there’s not the same amount of foot on either side.
"were you a theatre kid but also considered yourself an introvert" at 8:15 hit me with the force of a bus.
...he is correct.
That ND vibe check with the “meh” makes me laugh every time I watch it. I absolutely did it back/along with before they even got to “is also neurodivergent” 😂
3:28 I had to watch this twice because the bird taking out jewelry had my attention the 1st time
Same I had the urge to stop it at all times, like I was scared it would loose those earings
@@martahoremska3729 I was scared that the sharp hook would hurt them or the human
same, i was more invested in the bird than the topic of the video lmaoo
YES. This drove me bananas. Couldn’t focus on anything else.
The second one, about accommodations (internalised ableism specifically), is so relatable. I got my ADHD diagnosis two months ago, and I have less than one month left of high school. The first recommendation from my psych was to apply for disability provisions for my final exams (extra time/break time and separate supervision) and I struggled so much with the idea because I'd done fine without them so it felt like I didn't deserve them. But now that I'm sitting my practice exams (with provisions) it's so great, I have the chance to have a break to allow myself to refocus and there's only 10 people in the room instead of 130 so there's a lot less anxiety as well.
11:58
I think the fact that animated characters only chew with one side of their mouth says a lot at the animators and anyone their work is run by-
Not me being an autistic artist who wants to animate but won't because the pay is peanuts
2:13 I HAD THAT EXACT STIM IN KINDERGARTEN AND EVERYONE AT THE LUNCH TABLE WOULD CALL ME RUDE AND GET A TEACHER 😭
i thought i might be neurodiverent for a while because i recognised many autistic traits and things in myself. i still watch these videos both to educate myself as a neurotypical, but also i suppose subconsciously in case i have a sudden “breakthrough” in realising that maybe i _am_ neurodivergent. i don’t think i am, so i don’t really know where that comes from. one thing that helped me, though, in coming to this conclusion, was a tiktok in a video like this talking about how it’s possible for anyone to have a few autistic traits or a few adhd traits, etc, however it’s usually only actual neurodivergency when it actively impacts your life. i find myself only identifying with _some_ traits, and not to a degree where i think it might be neurodivergency, if that makes sense?
I think an example of how this plays out in an ND person is a lot of time we think "but like, it doesn't affect my life" but it does. *not trying to invalidate you BTW, but this could help you figure out which scenario it is for you.* for me I couldn't compare my life to an ND life (which I _am_ living) because to my knowledge at that point I wasn't living one. It is still hard for me to compare my life to an NT life, because that is not one I've ever had.
*Tbh*, I think it comes down to two things NT society teaches us
*1)* we judge identities by how they affect _others_ [grades, social life, and whatnot]
*2)* otherwise, you are told to make these status-quo assumptions about _yourself_ as well [and others] [this also applies to when I believed I was cisgender because I didn't "fit" trans images before realizing that my being a woman is not me being a binary woman]
@@insertchannelname1223 thank you !! dw, it didn’t feel like you were invalidating me at all! it means a lot for someone to take the time to try and help me like that. it makes total sense, what you said, so thank you :) as i said with the “breakthrough” thing, i’m still looking and researching in case i turn out to be neurodivergent, so it really helps to get advice from someone who is. thank you again pfsncsjd !
@@ava8340 yee I was clarifying since I'm not sure how I come across over text (wonder why lol) we're all different and I wish you luck!💜💜💜
@@insertchannelname1223 haha nw nw. tysm!
I would like to build on the last person's comment of "it still affects your life even if you're unaware of it", that effect can be minimal too! It took until I was 17-18 for my mother to even consider the possibility of autism, let alone a diagnosis, and she only looked into it when my niece was formally diagnosed. I'm not the "stereotype autistic", and because she had limited experience with autistic people, she didn't believe autism could come in other forms. I'm verbal, I can move unaided (although things like the oven scare me and I won't use them), and aside from the anxiety I seem neurotypical, but the thought of me being autistic wouldn't leave my head. As we looked more into it, we realised a lot of my behaviour seemed to line up *too* well, everything from me liking spicy food to my constant "fidgeting" (stimming) to the constant reading of research papers that interested me. Eventually I got a referral for diagnosis, and since then we've realised that not only am I autistic, there's a high chance most of my nieces and nephews have autism, ADHD, or both. One of my brothers definitely has untreated ADHD (he was diagnosed with "hyperactivity disorder" in the 70s-80s and insists "nothing is wrong with (him)" which like, yeah, nothing IS wrong, you just think different bud), one is likely autistic, and one of my sisters wants to be investigated for ADHD.
Point is, it can affect your life indirectly by influencing things like the food you eat or the music you listen to. Autism shouldn't be defined in anyone's mind by the effect it has on people.
Ok so I have a guilty pleasure in the form of "The Good Doctor" because it's one of the only shows I've found with autistic main character that I like and with the GLARING exception of the voice he uses, I think Freddie Highmore play Shaun phenomenally.
I also really like the writing but one thing I always found a bit odd was in the beginning (basically just season 1) there's a constant feeling of ableism towards Shaun ESPECIALLY early on from the head of surgery of course since character development is a thing this doesn't happen long
If you haven't seen the show it goes a bit like this:
Character: *find out Shaun has autism or knows from the beginning and treats him differently due to this fact*
Shaun: *proves them wrong and shows he's just as capable as anyone else if not more*
Character: *surprised Pikachu face* ok sorry message received I will try to do better in future
Rinse and repeat about once every 3 episodes give or take. And I always thought that seemed a bit unrealistic... then I watched the clip at 13:26 and oof how wrong was I mean for fucksake an IQ test?? really?!
So yeah all this to say I used to think I didn't put the fact that I was autistic on my CV because of the Good Doctor but it turned out I just had SPECTACULAR clairvoyance
i LOVE that show holy shit. i was always so irritated for the majority of season one because of the way they just completely disregarded his abilities and always tried to do things for him when he was capable of doing it himself. he proves himself again and again and again and again and its the same thing. they forget all about it and disregard him. it gets better with time but it was so frustrating to watch.
@@grimm6176 I do need to give them props for not having characters Relapse after they've figured out Shaun is a competent doctor for example there's one scene I distinctly remember near the end of season 1 where the two new doctors have come in (the obscenely competitive girl and the former cop). they're having an important discussion about what to do about a patient while Shaun is both listening and pacing around the room looking for something and here's the part I really like the trio who have been there since episode 1 are just brushing it off like "yeah we know Shaun is listening and if we try to stop him pacing we know he won't listen so just let him do his thing" meanwhile the two new doctors are like "is he even listening, why is he pacing around so much"
Another good example is the aforementioned chief of surgery, at the beginning he is one of the people railing hardest against Shaun being hired by the hospital so much so he makes a bet with his mentor where the stakes are the mentors job. Cut to a good chunk of episodes or a season later and there's a fundraiser happening for the hospital which Shaun needs to attend (any of my fellow introverts, autistic or not, can relate how unpleasant this is) and at this party Shaun ends up being swept up into a conversation by some important money giving people and he's doing communication but he is SERIOUSLY STRUGGLING until out of all people the *chief of surgery* comes to give him a hand... so what happened between episode 1 and that party? The answer: both character development and he saw shaun at work saving lives and acknowledged he was wrong
My point is what is annoying that they need to go through the whole rigmarole routine of doubt, proving and respect I absolutely fucking adore the fact that they don't do it with any one character more than once
watching to feel better after mother got upset with me for experiencing overstimulation, it is helping
thank you so much
Hi, this happens to me a lot with my grandparents! Specifically my Nan who likes to insult my (obviously autistic but undiagnosed) cousin for being 'weird' (obviously autistic behaviours, things as simple as briefly pulling his hood down over his face) despite me being (diagnosed) autistic and in the room. She also turns on tvs during the middle of conversations (??? Idk) and has these awful fairy lights that fade in and out nicely then go all rave like for 30 seconds before fade mode again. Great for someone with auditory processing issues and light sensitivity.
Basically, you can try explaining to your mother how it feels, how her getting upset at you makes you feels etc, and talk it out, or if you've gone past that point and she's not willing to listen, just tune her out. Build your own coping strategies for overstimulation (head/earphones you could carry at all times, fidget toys etc) and just block her out. If she isn't willing to help you cope, she shouldn't have any say in how you feel afterward. Its sad, but a lot of autistic people are forced into coping with the world independently because parents only want to make it worse.
If she's a good parent, she will listen to you. I found luck with the "if I broke my leg, would you help me or force me to walk on it?" metaphor. Hopefully this is ignorance and nothing more. If not; she is no longer entitled to your time, emotions or effort.
Hope this helps!

Can confirm, I have ADHD and after hearing this song I have been cured and am now neurotypical
I have no idea what the person with the cute bird was talking about because the whole time, I was watching the bird steal the earrings. 😁
Same I just had to look at the bird

9:39 is something I relate to so hard. I feel like I spend double the energy on coming up with ways to trick myself into doing things I have to but don't feel like doing than the Thing itself. HOW do people just... DO things?????? (unless I'm really interested in something, then how isn't everyone doing this and also how do I stop?)
I’ve had a sneaking suspicion for a while that I wasn’t ‘normal’, but when I was watching this I just had a moment like: “oh f@€k, I’m neurodivergent”
Reminds me of both my "oh damn I'm gay" and my "oh damn I'm autistic, huh?" Moments and more power to you because of that

2:09 this one broke my brain. One time someone said to kid me "you know it's weird how rolling your eyes, isn't actually rolling your eyes." But my nerodivent ass was like "what no of course it is." Then proceeded to go and learn how to rolling my eyes all the way around, just to find out now that it was wrong lol 😆
I haven’t been diagnosed with Autism but damn if I don’t have some of the symptoms lol. That ‘choose your stim’ tiktok spoke to me on a spiritual level. But then again, neurotypicals can have stims too
hey so i have a question regarding 07:10; does an abnormally _high_ pain tolerance count as a sensory disorder? i have heavy suspicion for being nd (my oldest sibling and my little brother are both diagnosed and i'm trying to get diagnosed) and i have always been a "hardy" kid and i'm wondering if it's a sensory disorder with the same alignment but opposite energy as this person's
i remember seeing a study that did brain scans on autistic and allistic people and it showed that the brains of autistic people reacted differently to pain in both directions (more and less sensitive)
for the autistic people who felt less pain it showed the similar areas of the brain lit up but the duration of the signal was completely different. the pain signal stopped firing much quicker for certain autistic patients than the ND ones. super interesting stuff.
TL;DR yes it is possible, at least according to one study i read 6+ months ago lol
Sensory differences to my knowledge are classified as either *hypersensitivity* which means experiencing a lot of something, and the potential pain result is sensory *issues* (hyper like in hyperenergetic) and *hyposensitivity* or experiencing very little of a sensation (hypo like in hypoallergenic or hypothermia)
as someone who was very recently diagnosed with autism and also has a pain tolerance so high that I have broken bones and not noticed, YES.
[Blood]@@kaitsune2262
Once I had a huge bleeding scratch on my leg that I didn't feel lol- it left a scar so it's safe to say it should have hurt.
@@kaitsune2262 yes! Me too.
3:30 - 6:00 oh this is truly fascinating. It makes sense, that neurotypicals would be able to communicate with each other, and neurodivergents with each other. I always have more flowing conversations with my nuerodivergent friends, and I’ve always kind of wondered why. Great compilation it hit a lot of interesting points
thanks for these great tiktoks
Also does anyone have a very weird hobby of learning about nuerodivergence then analyzing every person you meet and find out some of them are nuerodivergent before they even know. Cuase i have done this like over 5 times.
yes, i got my entire close family to do autism tests because i suspected it and turns out i was right because my mum and younger sister both got "very likely" haha. and now i'm constantly pointing out stuff that they do like "that's a nd trait". Neurodivergence is my special interest haha
OTHER PEOPLE WITH NEURODIVERGENCY AS A SPECIAL INTEREST???
I happen to do that as well !
This one kid never explicitly told anyone but I'm like 95% sure she's autistic but I have no idea how I'd naturally tell them that I think she is 🙃
I thought I was just trying too hard to have ADHD or something, but having it as a hyper fixation of its own makes so much more sense!
people with adhd need to stop being so relatable or i think i might need to have a chat with my doctor..
Hello fellow people hope you are having a great day. What’s your current hyper fixation?

12:01 I do stuff like this all the time. I have to cut my food in half and chew on the left first and then the right. If it's something like cosmic brownies, I count the lil colorful things and whichever side has less gets eaten first
6:46
I reply with a weirder noise to assert dominance. Though I'm usually the one to make the noise in the first place 😅
2:10 this has been stressing me out SO MUCH lately because I've developed a stim where my eyes just roll back into my head and it helps when I'm stressed but then people are double mad at me because they think I'm rolling my eyes all the time but really I'm just anxious and hate looking people in the eye
i love how fast the girl in the third video talks so i regularly put on her videos because it’s really good background noise for my brain to be stimulated enough to do chores
7:09- i have a sensory issue with like... coordination. i have no fucking clue whats going on with my limbs, especially my feet. i forget i have hands. i cant kick something unless i focus super hard. i can walk fine, but i wander all over the place. my balance is decent and i dont have tremors or anything, but i just cant make motions that require keeping track of limbs well. if more than one is involved it just overwhelms me. i cannot dance at all because of this
SAME OMG
also picky eating is absolutely 100000% a sensory thing its nothing to do with being spoiled and i will stand by every fussy child. i have a v sensitive sense of taste and smell (i can smell drinks from across a room, if a food has been cooked i can smell it in the room for literally weeks especially if i dont like it, everything tastes super strong to me) and its fine if i like the taste (like i enjoy some pretty strong things, i dont get overwhelmed by them) but if i dont then it is physically impossible to put it anywhere near my mouth. peas, tomatoes, peppers, are all the banes of my existence. it is traumatic to force kids to eat things while theyre literally gagging and crying because its NEAR THEM i dont understand why its so hard to understand. exposure therapy can work (im working on tomatoes cause theyre in EVERYTHING) but not when ur a child who is overhwhelmed by the concept of a tomato its not gonna work
ALSO also (sorry) people forget that sensory issues can be deficits, you can be over or understimulated by things (eg abnormally low pain threshold, abnormally high pain threshold) theyre both valid and both very difficult to deal with, require very different approaches, and you can have both for different things
*inhales*
That is called proprioception, the ability to feel the position of your limbs. It is a sense and like any sense, you can be hyposensitive to it!
@@OwlyFisher YES THANK YOU !!! My mom calls me a picky eater all the fucking time simply bc i dont like the food that she made. Somehow she doesnt seem to register that i am a textural eater, and the gross frozen pre-made chicken patties that you cooked for dinner taste like im eating a sponge. Same with sushi and mochi, i cannot eat sushi because the seaweed makes me gag, and mochi tastes awful to me because of the powder they put on it. Im also a tomato hater, and every fucking time i bring up the fact that i dont like tomatoes, my family gives me a weird look, like!!!! Leave me alone!!! I hate their taste and texture!!!
I am also ridiculously sensitive to smells. Ive always described it to other people as having sensitive lungs, because if i smell something thats too strong or too foul, then i will start gagging and coughing and feel like i cant breathe. My mom cleaned the microwave with apple cider vinegar once and i was the only person in the entire house that couldnt stand the smell, i had to stay in my room for the rest of the day and i could still smell it in there !!!!
also i woke up a few years ago lying on my back in the "eternal rest" pose and it really scared me haha. i did'nt know that it was a nd thing
I’m genuinely crying im laughing so hard over the one about chewing on both sides of your mouth. You can *do* that!?!!!!
9:40 oh my god why is this SO ACCURATE 💀💀
OTHER PEOPLE DO THE FLAMINGO???
oh shit, that second one is literally a test for the ADHD brains. I immediately started vibe-focusing :'D I could listen to that one on a 24hr loop while I work. Perfect focus music.
And the next one is 100% me - BUT I GRADUATED FOLKS, I MADE IT, ITS OK. (I mean LIKE me, not that she IS me).
I do that vibe check, yeah, it do be like that. I also do it with impromptu interpretive dances that look like the awkward standing poses tiktok. So......... There's that.
Hell yeah! Who the fuck needs ADHD meds when Music Mashups exist?
3:34 her bird be like: hmm dinner good soup (◍•ᴗ•◍)
With that last one: At my last job, shortly after I was hired, my manager sat down with everyone individually to get to know them better. When we talked, she noticed my leg started bouncing and asked if I had any learning abilities, I told her I have ADHD and that I suspect I'm autistic. She was completely understanding and told me that if I ever got overwhelmed I could take a moment and she said I could bring in a small fidget toy, I could. I loved her so much and she was the main reason I lasted
That last one was so healing to see. Gives me hope to be able to support myself one day
The little bird in 03:30 is just the best, I could watch him for hours just picking at everything that girl is wearing haha
When I'm running/walking fast in my house I always do these things; T-rex arm, tippy-toes, and making sure I step on the exact piece of wood/tile/carpet I want to. (not on any cracks because they hurt my feet, especially the grout area around tiles. And the specific color/square on the rug in my living room, hated it when we had to get a new rug with new colors because of my puppy ruining it, but the new rug is much more comfy on my feet.)
Freak
3:48 her shirt is so cute!!
So I'm getting tested for autism later this year, but I seriously went a whole (my age) years of my life with a 504, numerous teachers talking to me about behavior, the lady who tested me for special help suggesting I have ADHD (also getting tested soon), slow processing, MaDD, rocking back and forth, stimming all the time, being absolutely unable to break my routines, having elaborate plans to make sure I can do so, being unable to follow social cues as well as understand how to help my friends when they are sad, covering my ears at loud noises, closing my eyes when people turned on the lights, having meltdowns over the smallest things, being in therapy for after school meltdowns, and masking it around other kids without ONE PERSON EVER SUGGESTING STRAIGHT UP TO MY DAD (in charge of medical stuff (joint custody)) THAT I SHOULD'VE BEEN TESTED AUTISM?
Got autoplayed into this, halfway through I thought "hey damn, this is kind of relatable"
Then I see the damn video title
8:01 I'm the complete opposite because I'm also very clumsy
6:58 literally me-
also i stim by flipping the air off and it's really difficult not doing it in public lmao
0:25 I require a full version of this immediately.
thank you for a time stamp
IT EXISTS
I genuinely think I could completely every task I’ve been putting off for the past year if that just played in my head constantly

WHERE
I NEED IT
GIVE LINK OR NAME PLEASE
Okay people, it's been two months. You had 90% done this task. I think that enough time have passed for you to out of the blue give us the link. Whoever has it. Please.
the study about the communication skills between nt, autistics and the mixed group doesn't surprise me at all. Me and my husband we're both autistic and we're simply on the same page communication wise. that's why we got best friends in the first place. we understand each other like no one else does and we never ever had a fight in over 12 years because we can perfectly communicate with each other. (but when it comes to communication with nt's we're both totally screwed :D we're always the "weird" ones who can't communicate)
the first therapist i ever went to for my anxiety and adhd asked if i might be autistic before anything else. we let that go for years until this year i realized that i am, in fact, autistic. all the signs are there and always have been :]
13:18 that noise erks me so much it’s like I can feel the noise in the back of my throat almost makes me gag xD
11:14 I started singing the song as... REECES PUFFS, REECES PUFFS EAT EM UP EAT EM UP EAT EM UP
and then I realised it wasn’t playing.... 😐
Did I mention I am autistic
ADHD here, I do trex arms because i watched Ratatouille as a kid and the lady chef demonstrated when cooking to always bring your hands to "this position" which is kinda like trex arms but with fists, and since then, it has been a part of my walking animation, wtf
If I can't hug a stuffed animal to sleep I have to hug a pillow or blanket and if I don't have enough of either I hug myself. Sleep just doesn't come as easy as when I can't squish something against my body or bury my face into something soft and preferably fluffy.
1:42 WAIT I DO THE SCRATCHING ONE AND MY PARENTS MAKE FUN OF ME FOR IT
I HONESTLY DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS A STIM
6:02 IM CRYINGG-
WHY IS THIS BOTH SO FUNNY AND SO RELATABLE
10:14 the way I trick my brain to do work is I reward myself with sips of water. I don’t even like drinking water but now that it is a reward I want it so now I have to do my work.
I was trying so hard to listen to that one girl but I was absolutely captivated by her bird stealing her earing right out of her ear and could not lmao
yooo thank you! i was just watching compilations rn, it’s like you can somehow read my thoughts!
…..hank are you a god /hj
1:43 Me choosing stims: I'M ROBBING THE STIM STORE-
My mom recently said she wants to get me tested for autism, which is great; considering it was her stubbornness that kept me from going to the doctor and getting a diagnosis much MUCH earlier, that is.
Do not care
@@epicmanthefunny7402 then don't comment.
13:10 NO BC I DO THAT I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HELP
OMG THE ROLLING YOUR EYED THING!! when my dad and i are having a discussion he always gets mad at me for rolling my eyes when IM JUST LOOKING TO THE SIDDEEEEEEE
That “ballet” stance at 2:50 is a Nerodivergent thing?!?!
I though I was just weird. My sister calls me squidward when I stand like that, but I just automatically do it without thinking…
1:50 lmao i was cracking my joints and wondering if that's going to be mentioned ahsjdjs fast forward to 1:57
The girl talking about the study, I could not focus, girl your bird stole your earrings and then BAILED
REMINDER: Dear future me, 9:39 is our new way to wash. Take the advice.
with the nd poses one, i notice that most of them i used to do as a kid, but my dad would tell me off for being weird or if we were in public say that people are gonna "think i'm special" (how he would refer to autism) which is really ironic cause now i'm convinced that i am neurodivergent in some way, but i've got such bad imposter syndrome with it because i don't show as many symptoms as i used to because i forced myself to stop doing them when i was a kid
Freak
@@epicmanthefunny7402 bro wtf is wrong with you?
@@epicmanthefunny7402 don't be rude
That chewing food on both sides one just blew my mind too! Literally took a minute to take it in!
i've been searching for an answer for FOREVER about what could possibly be a name for what's different about me. i've identified with so many symptoms of not being neurotypical (which probably started out with me being what you'd consider a "gifted kid" who had 2x the state scores in the end-of-year math and literacy testing) but i've been scared to tell people since most of the time i thought they'd disregard me.
i used to think what i had could be adhd, but i found a group of friends and found more information that helped me figure out that what i have is most likely some form of autism.
i was really happy seeing this compilation in my recommended, and it's giving me enough confidence as to where next time i go to the doctor, i'm going to talk to them about a formal diagnosis :D
I Wanted to ask if any other NDs have weird, abnormal stims. For me, it's doing the robot but only above my torso 💀✌️
mine is smiling really aggressively in the middle of conversations 😭
it'll be the middle of a conversation, everything happening normally, and then my brain just goes "hey why don't you smile like fifteen times in a row but really big so you just look psycho"
i tap my left arm with 2 fingers like Bruno did in Encanto (he taps his left arm with 2 fingers when he says "yeah, there's a lot to say about Bruno" and it's a very small detail and kinda hard to notice but it's a common stim for me now)
i also incorp my stims into text and ill sometimes say things like "weeb woob" (woob is a running joke in my science class) or "beep boop" "boopadoop" "weeble wooble" and it's fun
@@alex-iu6rj i use beep boop in conversations too omg
@@alex-iu6rj beep boop is the universal verbal stim, it is simple yet glorious
@@Liam-be5tm yes
Yay!! I've desperately missed these comps
Birb: no no these accessories don't go with this outfit **yeet**
The burb snatched the earring
2:20 I remember distinctly I once had to literally tell my dad the difference between the two movements because he thought I was being rude.
I appreciate the captions you put on your videos, mate!!!
3:28 was anyone else watching the bird the whole time, which somehow helped you pay attention to what she was saying better or is that just me
ok usually I know most stuff in these videos but this one was filled with all new stuff and oh my god literally everything I do boils down to being neurodivergent so much so that even my parents are saying I should be tested and thats a lot bc they're not the best listeners
7:42 i think i might have sensory issues with touch somehow? like if i lay in a bed and everything's too smooth i get really panicky but its only happened a few times
3:29 this clepto birdie stealing their owners earrings....fucking epic! Lol
love it here
At 3:28 i wasn't even paying attention the entire time because I was watching the bird steal her earrings lmaoooo I lov that bird
Im so happy for the last guy! And the amount of things I just realized were because of ADHD or ASD-
The one where you stand on your own foot c:
12:16 I do this with my hands, I use my right hand way more than my left hand so I feel bad for the left one so I decorate it more with bracelets and stuff
body awareness and balance are also senses! you can have sensitivity issues going either way in either of them, that's why spinning is such a common stim (for those of us with a balance hyposensitivity) and why we're often clumsy as hell (combination of the two, hypo or hyper) and why we uh. sometimes accidentally hit ourselves. like i did while stimming a couple seconds ago - hyposenstive body awareness (i believe that hypersensitive body awareness can make people feel much more protective of their personal space, same as hyposensitivity makes us invade other people's personal spaces, and balance hypersensitivity can make people feel dizzy or nauseous really easily, but please do your own research because i know much more about my own symptoms here)
why is no one talking about how the bird fully stole that girl's earrings... like snatched them right off her ears
So I had this thing where sometimes when people say something I’d have to count how many letters their sentence had, and figure out if it was an odd or even amount of letters, so I would literally just stand there trying to figure out how many letters “hippopotamus” has while they would scream at me for not ever listening to them
1:42 I do skin picking and joint cracking all the time, and I also mess with my jewelry during the rare times I wear any (I keep forgetting to put it on lmao). also I dance and do a lot of hand movements
11:14 OK LIKE WHAT ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO??? LIKE. JUST PUT THEM AT YOUR SIDE OR SOMETHING??? THOSE POSITIONS ARE INFINITELY MORE COMFORTABLE *screams*/lh nm
/lh mn?
@@nobxya theyre tone indicators! they mean lighthearted and not mad
(3:29) I'M SORRY I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO LISTEN BUT THAT BIRD MUST HAVE REALLY HATED THOSE EARRINGS 🤣🤣🤣
The "ND Vibe `check" one is really funny to because it summarize how my girlfriend and I (both ND) communicate on a daily basis.
the theater kid+introvert is rly accurate in my case
