Why do late-diagnosed adults like myself talk about being autistic so much?

    Oh my gosh. Your comment about finding yourself funny because you react with words that are funny without processing them, and then when you've processed them and it hits you that what you said was truly hilarious. I think I'm my own biggest fan and would CERTAINLY pay money to hear my unfiltered thoughts in a social setting. Love your channel by the way. Im a 39 year old male-bodied (agender) AuDHD-pending-diagnosis person who just found out 3 months ago about the possibility of being either autistic or ADHD. I always knew I was weird though, even as a child. I really enjoy hearing you speak your thoughts and I find that your words often mirror my experience as well. Thank you for the validation and the food for thought.

    I just got my late autism diagnosis on the 22nd of may 2024. Just 8 days ago. I'm 43 years old. I'm forever grateful for autistic youtubers like you. It means the world to me. Thank you. 🏆❤

    uuuuuh, LOVED that comment on feeling "better", totally recognisable, happy you owned it and opened up about it, i feel the same and feel bad about it, because i don't want to be (nor do i think i am) narcissistic. Nice to know i am not alone. But honestly, there is something weirdly "not-better" about how neurotypicals are governed by their emotions and their incessant need to be "social" all.the.time. :-D
    Also: autistic humour is the best!

      Thanks for the comment and yes, I too worried for a while that I was narcissistic but having learned more about that I'm definitely not. I think therapists do take what we say very literally also and are often hyper fixated on the words we use, interpreting them absolute ways. I do love how my brain works sometimes and absolutely love the humour part.

    That's what i was wondering. They found ADHD and now it's looking like I'm austistic, I'm 57. It explains so much.

    Yes, for sure, and I've had a deep constant abiding feeling of being seen as the freak as I am, but at the se time Invisible to other, total self conscious, and invisibility, but also like you say.. I felt I had more capacity some how than others to see things, but then blind and dumb at the same time, aaah the living paradox of autism, omg this is quite the experience lol, if people only knew

    That uncanny valley of autism, when you haven't had an explanation, or diagnosis is a Crippling thing, can drive you Mad

    Men probably don't talk as much about it, we have communication self esteem issues, women are un doubtably better at it. Yes, yes yes, thus is one of your best videos.

    I have autism too- I was diagnosed late though, around 2014.

      Dear, stating the year you were diagnosed does not tell us your age.
