Just Like You - Autism

- The MidAmerica Emmy award winning, “Just Like You - Autism” launches an exciting campaign that calls our communities, our kids and the world to learn, understand and accept those living with autism. JLY-Autism harnesses the power of film to connect and create empathy in others in an unprecedented way. The film's documentary techniques capture the real life stories of 3 children and their best friends/sibling. They explain their lives with autism in relatable everyday scenes. The kids and former NFL quarterback, Trent Green, explain sensitivities, behaviors and model how to be a good friend to someone living with autism. Those who see it will understand and accept people living with autism for who they are on the inside. JLY-Autism boldly seeks to foster a world of people who know about, understand and accept those living with autism by sharing the perspective of courageous individuals who are not defined or limited by their conditions. Instead, they are “just like you.”

Ever since my childs autism diagnosis I've had a lump in my throat but after watching this i feel so much better
They played this at my kid's school. It really helped my son's class interact with him better. This video should be played at every school.
I agree. Depends on what school though. Jr. High and High School should be watching these. Those schools are more likely to have more bullying there
It did at my school
And stop whoever is bullying kids with autism, because it also hurts me as well.
It warms my heart to see so many people on the spectrum saying how much this video meant to them, myself included. My lifelong dream is to promote mainstream acceptance of people like myself on the spectrum, and undo the damage that people like "autism speaks" have done
This is really touching, especially for me, because I have Aspergers Syndrome. Obviously Aspies are more high functioning than the majority of kids with Autism; but I feel like us Aspies can relate to this video as well. I like to think of Autism as a super power. It makes us unique, kind, and smart in unexpected ways. Yeah we may stumble with reading social cues. So? And sarcasm flies over our heads. You got a problem with that? We are just like you, except we have more uniqueness than you and we get more hate from people because of it. I love myself for who I am , and even with the social struggles of going through HighSchool with Autism, I wouldn't trade my disability for anything. Long live Autism!!!
+Thomas Assael I agree with you, and feel the same. I have classic autism, but quite high functioning, and an IQ of 160. I don't mind the things I'm not good at, because I don't think those things are very important. For example I can't communicate over the phone, so what, we have email. I am very good at certain things that other people are not so good at. And I'm very happy with those things. :)
+Thomas Assael Thank you for watching and your kind words. Please help us educate the world about autism. Share, share, share!
Amen!
Just Like You Films, also autism is shown by when they spin something, they will flap their hands and stare at the thing that is spinning. Just some information from an actuall kid with autism. Please reply and pin this comment.
I noticed that when I'm with my friend. Like today, it was frustrating. I should take a step back and really focus on the bigger picture. I like what you said of having Autism as a super power. It sounds like you could memorize facts and trivia without having to check for accuracy. I wish I could do that.
The only thing that annoys me is that it's us (autistic people) who have to learn to communicate with others why can our friends not learn how to communicate with us? Or we could both try
I agree!!! i always enter my sons world I don’t make him enter mine.
Unga bunga shalonga
You’re right, I believe my non verbal daughter could feel that way, it is difficult on both sides, trust me. But what we must do is never stop learning and trying. Never give up
Facts!
I agree. It would be useful to enter my world, as I can never understand yours, and I could never memorise everything and apply it anyway.
My best friend, Addi, was in this video! And I had no idea that her brother had autism, but I know not to blame him for what he's like, because he was just born that way. I don't believe that anyone should blame people who have disabilities for their problems, they were just born or had developed it. Its not their fault.
But, this video tells me more about my friends brother and more about autism, and it helps me understand what autism is better! Thanks for posting this great video for people to watch and learn (maybe from their mistakes)! Good job!
I don't like to make friends ever since my only friend backstabbed me
Gallie Chan :)
This made me cry so much. I didn't get diagnosed with high functioning autism until I was 18 years old. It made so much sense when I got diagnosed this way. I went through all of my public school life, with no help, counseling, or anything. I thought I was just weird. It's so important to get diagnosed at a young age, so please, don't be afraid to ask if you yourself have high functioning autism.
As myself who has Autism. I feel like it's hard to live with/and it effects on how I live. I don't understand a lot of things with education/ or with socializing with peers and with acquaintances. When each day goes by it's a challenge. I hope I die at a young age(twenties-thirties/19 years old) so I don't have to go through those trials.
Princess Peachie I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 23 I’m now 38. I’m a female with Aspergers
What I didn't like is that Christian's mother forcing him to talk when he has a whole mind of his own. He needs to be taught how to use a letter board and a key board.
Amen! What she was doing was facilitated communication, which has been debunked and can sometimes be dangerous (as in legal proceedings). Non verbal autistic people can communicate on their own with no one guiding their hands: they just need to be taught alternate methods of communication.
Brilliant! Where is the Adult version of this?
(: There should be one, because Autism doesn't go away when you grow up.
I agree on an adult version
Sometimes you don’t even find out until you’re fully grown.
Same. I also have autism and I'm proud of it. It bases on how unique I am in many ways. It's something really cool to have in my roots.
I was just going to comment that and I saw your post! There are a whole bag of issues when adulting...
GREAT POINT....IN FACT ADULTS CAN BE HATEFUL AND CRUEL IN WAYS YOU NEVER DREAMED POSSIBLE TO WOMEN AND MEN WITH AUTISM....NO PROTECTION OUT THERE FOR THEM.....MY THETAPIST USED TO TELL ME I WAS A SITTING DUCK FOR ALL THE ABUSE .....ITS NOT AN EADY ROAD TO TRAVEL....ALOT OF ADULT AUTISTIC PEOPLE DONT HAVE FAMILIES....BECAUSE THE FAMILY DOESNT WANT TO HELP THEM...SO THEY ARE ALONE AND SCARED.....THEY USUALLY DONT MAKE IT LONG OUT HERE.....😔
I have high functioning autism, after watching this in class, I got to further explain autism to the entire class.
Lje Thoughts thanks so much for letting us know about the screening at your school! With your/your parents permission we'd love to share more about your experience on social media! Our goal is for other kids to be inspired to screen the film at their schools to educate the world about autism! You can email me at jen@jlyfilms.org
Thank you so much, just got to your reply. No thank you, I'm good.
❤️
Wow this is a great documentary, I have three siblings with Autism and a lot of these things are things my siblings deal with, and I even learned a few things too! I’m still learning, even though I’ve lived aware of Autism all my life. I think this would be a great resource for me to show to others, so thank you :) this made me feel like my family is understood, which makes me so happy. I live in hope of a future with more awareness and love for people with abilities. I loved how you included some famous people believed to have had Autism, it helps show people the amazing things those who have it can do.
I been reading books of old, the legends and the myths! Achilles had his gold, Hercules and his gifts! Spider-Man's control, and Batman with his fists! But clearly I don't see myself upon that list!
Im a adult with aspergers glad you are not trying to make us seem like a demon yes i cant drive and cant work because the stress but im a 35 year old single dad people need to understand we are not monsters
I have mild (Aspergers Syndrome) Autism and ADHD. My symptoms never stopped me from what I wanted to do in life. I watched this documentary, some of the things mentioned in the video can relate to me. On how I feel, see things visually, different textures, and many other things. Getting back to the part of, "it never stopped me". I have become an, Hockey announcer and DJ for all of the games I do. In 2013 my calling came to me. The Geauga Maple Leafs Bantam AA hockey team was where it all started. Coach Magnasco was thrilled to have me, Mrs. Kendra guided me on the players names to announce. That same year with the help of me and having a great team we won the 2013-2014 CSHL Bantam AA Championship. The Leafs also gave me my first job opportunity. In the Spring of 2014 I started working for hockeytime productions. I work hockey tournaments for the company. I announce and play the music, while running the scoreboard and keeping score. In the fall of 2014 I picked up new hockey teams to work with. I came across the Cleveland Sharks coached by Adam Rich. Prior to finding the sharks I found the Cleveland Jr Lumberjacks AAA hockey organization. The first Jacks team I picked was the 2002 team Coached by Doren, Trobenter, and Houston. Shortly after that I picked up the 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2004 Jr Jacks teams. The 2002 Jr Jacks went to Toledo OH in the Spring of 2015. The team played in the USA Hockey Mid-Am District Tournament. I was there with them as we skated our way to become the, 14-15 2002 AAA District Champions. the 2002 team finished tier 1 season ranked 18th at 37-15-10. After the season has ended, my work for the 2015-2016 hockey season begins. In the Fall of 2015 came the largest amount of teams to work with, out of my entire announcing career. I work for ALL 8 Jr Jacks AAA teams, Gilmour Gladiators Youth Hockey, Chagrin Falls High School Hockey, and Strongsville High School Hockey. To this day I am hoping to land a job with a Pro Sports team. Until then I am happy where I am and with the teams I am working with. Lastly Autism never stopped me as you can see above. If you have autism don't let it stop you from doing the things you want to do. I want to thank my mom for helping me along the way with my Autism and ADHD.
+HOCKEY TIME Thank you for sharing your story! Such an inspiration.
I was so glad this was the 1st video I watched after my 6 yr old was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. I'll admit it balled through it . He is high functioning but has many triggers that were discussed ! Thankful in TN !

PS. Am sharing on our Facebook page! Look us up!
Be helpful be inclusive be accepting but most of all ..... be kind
This is over all ok but I really don't like the start, mostly because I am Autistic, I use Identity first because Autism IS part of me and not something i need to to seperate from myself it is part of me it effects all of my life and thats ok! I am Autistic and I am proud to be who I am
Same
I'm glad you feel confident about yourself. I wish I felt the same but I don't. When I was in school labels already existed. I was labeled and put in a box. I didn't have any friends in Jr. High or High School but my classmates knew who I was. I guess that's a good thing. Sometimes its hard to separate myself from my disability. I see myself defined by it. Even typical people do.
That and the way the boy with the word pad doesn’t look like he’s interacting so much as the assistant is through him. I would have preferred more moments where he interacted or talked in a manner that was unscripted. So I like the opening but those two things make me uncomfortable.
That being said, so close. It’s nice to see representation getting better. :)
-
As for the rest of it really, really well done. I really enjoyed it. :)
I think what they mean is that autism isn’t the only thing you are. Like it’s part of your personality but it’s not the only part.
@@Jimbo386000 I agree with that. We aren't saying autism isn't a part of you, but it isn't what defines you as a person
I am almost crying... I have Asperger's sindrome but I can't find the person who will understand me (and don't have any kind of autism) and I am 17... so thank you so much for made this video. I hope that people will understand one day that we are just like everybody...
Neža Musar thanks so much for your kind words. We are a nonprofit film company and because of our donors generosity we are able to provide the film for free! Please share share share and let's educate the world so they can understand and accept!
Neža Musar You can be like everyone else Ness, watch some of Dr Robert Morse's or Mark Gordon's video on a detoxing diet and herbs to rebuild the nervous system and rebalance the brain! 👍🏼🍎😇
Alicia Bakowski,thank you! I will
I get so dismissive so times and feel as if no one understands me or can help me (I have Aspergers Syndrome) but when I see this kind of thing it makes me feel better. There are people out there who understand, I need to remind myself of that every day.
+Jayde Roberts Thank you for watching. Please help us educate the world about autism. Share, share, share!
I work with an autistic girl,she's special to me and I love her 💜 I learn from her everyday 😊 thank you for this video I'm still learning as I go along 👍
Thank you, this helped my friends accept me. I have autism
If your friends didn't accept you just cause you had a disability they are probably not good people and yes ik this comment was years ago but idc
I'm lost for words. This is beautiful.
It hurts to have a brother that in all of his 9 years hasn't ever spoke to me , yet we have the strongest connection. ELECTRIC CONNECTION. Now I have a better understanding of the reality. It's like afterlife, we're curious about it but will never really know how it feels. It's crazy how someone with no voice speak so loud and bright.
I'm so happy the world is more aware of autism ! this was a great film !! my friend had aspergers syndrome he is a very friendly and kind person they r the same as any person so haters shut up !
+zipsta 1234 Thank you for watching and your kind words. Please help us educate the world about autism. Share, share, share!
as a person with Autism, i feel seen and heard!! such a beautiful and powerful video!! ♥♥♥
It's good to have other people understand how it is for us.
Both me and my partner have high functioning autism and I wouldn't want her to be any different than she is because she's perfect how she is. I'm thankful to have her in my life and I'm more than thankful for her every single day.
I struggle a lot with sounds out of all of the issues.
I got HF autism, and I enjoy it. However, I don’t enjoy fearing awkwardness. I go out of my way to avoid it. My thought process is very dirty and filthy,. Literally, I can see dirty mindedness in almost everything, I enjoy it. I’m also practically immune to epileptic images, eyestrain art, etc.
In a nutshell, my autism doesn’t affect my senses.
Only my social skills. I don’t really talk a lot in school, since i fear getting in trouble for embracing my extreme dirty sense of humor.
This is a very well done video. Congrats to all who worked on it or were in it! It is honest, real, and very helpful. It will enlighten all who view it and leave them empowered to understand and accept others differences.
Karen Popp thank you for your encouraging words! We are a nonprofit organization and rely solely on messages like yours to get the word out about our film. Please share share share!
I have ASD under what was known as Asperger's Syndrome. I understood what the video was trying to tell me at times more than others. Yes, the processing part was very on point. I hear everything and enjoy being quiet or just chilling with friends in a room. Sure, I can get loud and hyper like a lot of people but the one thing I love most? Finding other people who are on the spectrum who understand what you deal with daily. I have been called weird for my sensitivities and truthfully, I think I have gotten used to it in some cases. I understand sarcasm to an extent but have been told that the way I come across can be rude or demeaning and honestly, I don't intend that behavior at all. I have noise and light sensitivities which makes it very difficult some times to process things the way you or someone else may. These things may make me get loud so as to fight against the noise or some times even ignore you. I do the latter just so I don't always have to be engaged in conversations. I am learning how to be independent and monitor my own actions and behaviors. I am no longer a child but I know that I will always be that in my parents's eyes. It has gained me friends and lost me friends but at the end of the day, those that stuck by me ended up with more loyalty and friendship than those that left. I try and understand my friends who aren't always able to communicate with me the same way as I am able to. I learn visually and it has always helped. If I am struggling, give me time and some patience to get my thoughts and words in order to communicate what I feel I need to say to you or come up with some sort of code/language that you and I share. I know it has helped me in uncertain situations. I am always there for my friends and am willing to try again if the situation reappears. The more you are willing to fight with me, the more I am willing to do the same. Thank you for showing us what it feels like, what you see and how it effects you. You all are beautiful people and you are all valid.
A boy in kindergarten at my school has autism. I had to watch this and other vids by "just like you" for a school project about how we are all different.
This has really touch me .... I had a kid and we recently discovered that he has Autism. There's so many things I still don't know, so many things Im beginning to understand he's behaving and his reactions. Understand more about this, he can get super hipper, sometimes I might not have patience, he might not understand my mood or even my face expression when I'm mad.... now I know. That's the reason he repeats sometimes when I'm getting mad for something that he's doing. He can be different on public sometimes, not so much. But all I can know that I get 1000000 hugs daily ... 1000000" kisses and I have the kid with the biggest heart and the most kindness. So I'm learning from him too, understanding more about how he sees things and why he do it. Why he always need to carry something on his hands, walk on his toes. I'm learning learning even more day by day. I really hope he meets a good friends at school just like this kids to help him over ♥️.
BRAVO!!!! THANKS FOR EDUCATING THE WORLD!
Loud sounds and people talking at one time is annoying. I like music. I sometimes wear noise cancelling headphones. Other times I just wear music headphones. I hate many different smells. I could vomit. Some food could send me into meltdown. I hate tags and polyester. I can't stand to be touched lightly. Bear hugs are ok and weighted compression cooling vests are excellent. Amusement parks are a nightmare. Then I have a meltdown in public and that is embarrassing. I don't understand jokes or sarcasm. I prefer to use ASL rather than speech. I prefer to be alone. Social skills classes don't help me much I don't think. I do have a few great friends though and a great teacher. I don't get invited to parties and stuff though and I hate getting compliments. I hear the r word a lot.
The r word is so so hurtful :c I hear it a lot too
This helped me understand my daughter better. Newly DX at 11.....dont know how the doctors and therapists missed this DX but I knew it was more than just "ADD"
This makes me cry because I had it my whole life but didn't get told till I was 19. Nobody really talked about it around me. People didn't help me get the help I needed in the right way in school because they didn't know why I did what I did because I didn't understand myself either so I wasn't able to explain myself about who I am. I can sometimes speak normal but most the time speak in baby language because it feel safe and it's one of the only ways I understand how to sound out and speak 99.8% of the time. I have to be quiet a lot around my family because they don't like the way I say things because they don't believe it's me. I stay in my room most the time around them since I don't want to be judged by them even though we love each other. They also don't like what I wear. I wear emo stuff and baby stuff because it makes me feel safe but my parents say you can't wear that, even though it makes me feel safe. I still try to cope with life but am so glad I have a few friends and a loyal autistic husband who help me threw my life. I love who I am.
I have autism myself, and actually learned a lot from this that I wasn't aware of! :)
May I share this on my fb page, along with my autism support group page on fb? My son has severe autism and it is painful to see people judge my son before even getting to know him; awareness is wonderful
Jessica Ngo please share share share!
I have ASD, formerly known as Asperger's. So, I understand the problems those with ASD go through.
I have Autism and epilepsy and many other diagnosed problems. I got to say, I love this video. My friend also has autism.
I'm On the autistic Spectrum & Iove this video so much
+Abby Grace Laiderman Thank you for watching and your kind words. Please help us educate the world about autism. Share, share, share!
I was diagnosed with high asbergers and im currently 13 my friend at school help me get through my life Note: Looking people in the eye is uncomfortable because we feel like we're being judged or at lease that's how i feel. i love all of my family and friend and all that suppor me thank you for making my life good even if my family is poor :(
JakeHill / Flick not only that but the information we are processing relies on our eyes moving around our environment and not solely focusing on other people’s eyes
El hijo de mi pareja tiene asperger. Desde el primer día siento que lo entiendo. De hecho detesto como la madre lo declaró discapacitado para que el estado le de plata en lugar de confiar en las capacidades de su hijo y salir a trabajar como cualquier madre. Los respeto mucho, de verdad. Y a mi divino hijastro lo adoro con el corazón, es inteligente, dulce, tierno y muy mimoso conmigo.
I have autism and autism Rocks we are who we are
bravo, kudos to everyone involved. this video is going to enlighten and help so many people.
+Amanda Dixon Thank you for watching and your kind words. Please help us educate the world and share share share!
This is just sad to see people make fun of them for no reason
The worst is not being to trust those your supposed to care about and having thoughts of doing them wrong in return. It becomes like an addiction. Once you hit adulthood you have an ego that cannot seem to be deflated and Darwin's theory is your handbook. That's why I gotta say this virus has been a blessing upon us to condemn those who make a mockery and fill our families with contempt and deciet.
And then you stop and wonder why?
I have autism and I really like this video
omg, this video is so good, i love it and i have autism. I know it can be hard, i know it can be thought but accept us we are just like u and we can do all the same things as u can so plese just accsept us for who we are. I have a few freinds and they likes me just as i am, and stay strong my fellows
I have asperger syndrome and I find it really touching and I relate to so much things.
Evo Sat, I wish that you will be able to cope with these things. You are very valuable to those around you - yes, even those who can't tell or show you.
I wish some one would befriend my son. He seems so lonely at times and I am his only true friend outside of his computer. :(
I had the chance to deal with an autistic child. God put me in the right
place at the right time. She was lost and just walking by my house with
no parents. The video is on my page. It was very frightening.
This was AMAZING...wish they did it earlier and at all schools....its needed.....also classes on empathy and how to understand disabilities would be a great class....as this pandemic is going to leave alot of people impaired.....GOD BLESS YOU ALL MY FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS😇🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this I have high function autisum and this video made me cry I love this channle
+Scarry it won't
Aiden Schoof Ok! Nice to hear dude! :)
+Scarry ☺
Just trying to educate myself here :)
"Just Like You" Thank you for sharing.. 😊😊😊
Fine work plain AND simple. #Insightful
I'm autistic but I had no idea about the visual impairment aspect!!
Thank you Sooooo much for the video. I am starting to work with people with autism. I have learnt something new.
OK, about the point made around the 3:00 mark - LOTS of us on the spectrum actually prefer "autistic" to "with autism", as the latter implies we have some sort of disease, which autism is NOT, though I respect whichever an individual prefers. Many of us prefer to think about autism as like a linux while the rest of the world (the "neurotypicals", as we call them) are macs.
No, I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly! It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep! 'Cause everything is never as it seems! I fall asleep...
Being put into a loud environment causes me sensory overload to happy.
Very beautiful!! Great job!! I really enjoyed this

You are welcome. I will definitely share
I know this may be coming out of nowhere, but I really hate to wear long-sleeved button shirts, especially for dressy occasions such as weddings and/or graduations.
Autisn or the boy with glasses is super cute I like his voice too
I love this video because my little brother has a high level of autism, the first time i watched this i cried.
It would be great if some thought-provoking questions could be added for those who wish to show this in their classrooms. I will make my own, of course, but it would be nice to see accompanying questions!
I wish I could contact someone to make this in the language in my country. Or to ask for permission to play this in my clinic during waiting time
I have Asperges Syndrome and I hate hugs and being touched. Also adults have different forms of autism as well not just kids. I am 21.
I was born with sever autism when I was little my mom got me though a lot therapy to get me where I am today I’m almost 28 I’ll be 28 in May I still have my moments and teddy bear 🧸 help with my nervousness in the car and I love soft things and music 🎶
Ok, I get it. Also, could we stop acting as if "autism" is a tangible and self-contained entity that people "have" or "affects" people? It sounds ridiculous every time you say it.
An amazing video to watch on the same topic: #solidarityautism
For these very touching extraordinary people.
I am going mild autism I am happy ☺ that I have got autism
hello, is it ok to share the video to our facebook page? we're just a few bunch of autistics trying to reeducate the community abt autism.
Thank you! A beautiful explanation.
I watched this to help me with autism. 😀
Hi I just wanted to come by because I have Autism
I have add and ADHD and they are super close to autism. I have meltdowns and I flap my hands around because it helps me cope. But I get called retarded at school. I'm going into middle school and I'm scared because I don't want people to make fun of me because I like ninja turtles and I flap my hands. I'm scared of going to middle school.
Emily Harp thank you for watching. Please share with friends and classmates if you think it might help you explain your unique circumstance. We would love to make a film on ADD and ADHD for you to use! It's on our list!
Just Like You Films ok thanks!✌🏻😁🙋
Does Christian have cerebral palsy? Because I know someone who moves a bit like him and she has it.
And it's great to see something positive, I came here from that aweful autism speaks add "I am autism"
Christian does have mild cerebral palsy.
strangegirly76 okay (I feel a bit smug now...)
I just saw that add a few days ago and I really wish I didn't.
Well I’m thankful I was able to eventually fully speak and that the condition never really affected my vision completely although from time to time things seem like a blur from far away it’s not really too much of a big deal for me if I wear glasses to see from afar also I don’t like the certain smell of a meat called chorizo and I’m not really a huge fan of eggs but I can still eat a certain amount I can tolerate but also my stomach can be easily sensitive to certain dairy products but other days I feel just fine other days I have anything dairy but I also know why animals hate fireworks it’s because they sound like a world war is about to happen and I understand them I’d love to have headphones that can help me during those moments though so then I don’t have to stay away from them anymore because I especially struggled with it when time comes for July where I used to live when I was younger but I’m glad I pushed myself to handle them to a certain point but I still have certain Icks about certain things in foods if they have something I don’t like I won’t eat the food in general it’s hard though especially when I get something in public but this is why I only get things with ingredients that I know are safe to me in my head but also I don’t like the fact that my family toddlerizes me especially ever since knowing I’m autistic but if anything I want to go somewhere where someone can help me have better social skills so then eventually I could be capable to work in the real world maybe even at the same job from the same time my younger sister works and we could work together
I have 5 friends with Asperger's Syndrome (myself as well), but they're all guys and I'm a girl. It may seem ridiculous, but I want to meet a girl with Autism.
I have a problem that Makes me have a lack of soical skills.And,Which me scared,and shy when I talk to random people or when people give people random Compilents I get socially awkward.Like for example,If a guy gives me a Compilent I get socially awkward and I get Shakey and sweaty.I thinks that's kinda like autism.
yes I agree with mom I have autism too
my son is 5 and has autism but struggles to speak are there any apps on an ipad that could help his speech
We watched this and school and weirdly I have autism in the way were it doesn't show all the time but during school assemblies I ask to stay in the classroom with my teacher cause they get to loud but my vision isn't affected or any other senses I think thats wierd cause yeah but I don't do good in sociaal situations I cant but I have my gf help me with it and without her all I think bout is death or sadness or ferocity most of the time without her I feel like I would kill myself. When I do get the problems with hearing ill go hide under my arms and wait till the noise all dies down this year at the genral assembly I couldn't stand it I felt like I was going to die the sounds all came at the same volume I couldn't take it
I have some of this...like tags in clothing or being touched suddenly. My mom taps me and I wanna jump back or slap her. I also can't stand bright lights and bright does hurt my eyes. I don't have bad eyesight or the hearing problems, but it "hurts" to have eye contact with people. I may have asbergers or something else.
That may sound like asd (an autism spectrum disorder) but those symptoms by themselves point out to another disability: SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder). Autism is more than just sensory symptoms.
Neither way, it would be very very good for you to go to an specialist. So do it if you can.
This comment is from a year ago so... have you been diagnosed with something? Have you go to a professional? I would totally like to hear your story.
By the way, i´m autistic c:
I also have ASD
Such an inspirational video! :)
