Okay since my special interest is Frogs here are some facts I like. 1. There is no exact life span of frogs but, ones who were given captivity or hospitality lasted to about 20 years 2. The world's largest frog is the goliath frog of West Africa, and it can grow to 15 inches and weigh up to 7 pounds. 3. Toads are frogs but all frogs aren’t toads, a toad is a frog that has a skin texture between watery and dry and toads legs are shorter. 4. One of the smallest frogs is the Cuban tree toad, which grows to half an inch long. 5. There are over 6,000 species of frogs. 6. Frogs have amazing night vision. 7. Frogs are very sensitive to movement. 8. When a frog swallows food, it pulls its eyes down into the roof of its mouth, to help push the food down its throat. 9. When frogs hibernate, they dig burrows in the ground or mud and hibernate until spring. 10. Poisonous frogs are brightly colored to warn predators, while the Fort Randolph robber frog has very colorful skin even though their skin is not toxic. They do this to intimidate predators. That’s all baiii (P.s nice vid❤)
On the interoception one. If I'm doing something when I realise that I need to pee really bad my brain will automatically erase that thought so I don't have to stop what I'm doing. Like, I don't know why it does that, I end up with bad cramps on my bladder. 😢
Recently diagnosed at age 56 here. I learn stuff about myself with every single one of these TikTok compilations. So much in this one. Reading books about ASD and talking to my mental health professionals, I understand nothing. You all, I get right out of the box. Thank you. You all help me so much. ❤
Listening to the interoception bit and a bunch of my life childhood really started to make sense 😂 (Gender Dysphoria alerted the heightened “something is wrong” in my body, but low accuracy made it really difficult to know why I felt like something was wrong. And because I couldn’t identify the issue exactly I never looked for help)
I need to know how the little rainbow sploopy thing works and then I need to get one lol. Sorry for the made up word I just can't think of how else to describe it
it’s called this must be the place, or naïve melody! it’s from talking heads’ 1983 album speaking in tongues. it’s a great album - you should check it out! the live version from stop making sense (their live album/concert film) is also amazing. @@Tytan626
0:48 This is EXACTLY how I reacted lmao. I never liked her, I guess cuz I knew something wasn't right but I didn't know what. I just assumed that I found her annoying.
1:20 If any parent gave me autism, It was my dad. He's very neurodivergent and i can only understand when he gives me directions, not my mom *i dont mean really neurodivergent i just mean he IS neurodivergent and i relate to him more for a parent
1:19 I relate to this so hard! It feels like it takes muscles I don't have and insane amounts of energy to emote like a neurotypical person and I have no idea how they do it. Thankfully some of them will believe me when I say I'm just tired or not feeling well if it's a day I don't have the energy to mask, but it's still baffling on a good day that most people can just emote like crazy!
4:19 I started crying at this part because I never knew why I would get really sad or bothered with everything at random times, but it’s cause of interception and nerves and WOW. Anyway, I’m gonna go cry in I need to get diagnosed IMMEDIATELY
0:09 the fact that this is litteraly my parents lmfao istg my dad def seems to have autism or ocd, he really doesn't like when things dont go his way and can be quite emotional which can end up with him being aggresive silliest parts are when me and him are working on smtn like a lil school project and he casually does 90% of the thinng for me, making it hard for me to get my own take. kinda relatable, its not uncommon to find me being overly touchy and eaget to do things i wanna do, not realizing soon enough that im being too physically invasive (like grabbing things someone else is already taking)
I have made a realisation while watching this comp. I'm an opossum. I absolutely love climbing, and can climb just about anything, I love hanging upside down and just dangling there, I'm pretty much nocturnal (night ow mixed with insomnia.) And I can even see in the dark. (Aka I have enhanced vision in the dark due to light sensitivity combined with very light colored eyes.) And to top it all off, when i get stressed or overwhelmed, like when my brother grabs on to my arm or leg and won't let go no matter how much i ask, I smile. I'm not kidding, I smile when I'm stressed. I am just an autistic possum, buried in blankets and looking for a leftover bagel to eat.
4:44 omg i need that. it's like those collapsing metal rings that people can stick their arms through yeah?? i love those things but god do i hate feeling that cold metal running up and down my arms. what is that in the video i need one.
2:57 I’m legally blind and people have called me “high functioning” I absolutely hate the term, so in a song I wrote for my disability I literally said that that stereotype should just be nonexistent 😅
BRO MY MOM AND DAD ARE THE SAME (dad hates being late; mom has time blindness and overall shows signs of ADHD). I'm honestly curious if my dad has autism and my mom has ADHD; they both share respective traits, however, the only thing I've seen my dad doing related to stimming is wiggling his foot. He doesn't seem to have sensory issues like I do but it wouldn't surprise me if he's somewhere on the spectrum, because I had to get it from somewhere and if my mom has ADHD, it would also make more sense as to why I'm neurodivergent
3:21 i can tell when my heart is beating faster than normal or if im hungry but i cannot tell when im thirsty (and as someone who spends a lot of time outside in the sun this is not good) is there any way to like, make that easier??
wait do other people NOT feel their heartbeats like this? i have been on blood pressure meds most of my life. i can always *feel* when i'm running a few minutes behind on taking them. i can feel when my heart rate is higher too. i thought everyone felt like that? huh! learn something new every day
Infodump about wolves cause I saw someone do it and feel comfortable about doing it as well :) 1. Wolf packs are actually just families. A male or female wolf leaves the pack, finds a mate, has a litter with them and BAM new wolf pack 2. On the subject of packs, the largest one was found in 2011 in Russia near a town named Verhoyansk and consisted of 400 wolves 3. Do wolves really howl at the moon? We have no idea. No studies really gave us any answers, but it's most likely not true. Wolves use howling to communicate and mainly do so at dusk when they return from a hunt, which is why the myth sprouted 4. The study of roles in wolf packs we know and still use like alpha, omega etc. is wrong. Like I wrote, packs are most of the time just families of wolves. The mother, the father, one to four kids and that's it. Offsprings follow and learn from their parents who automatically get the leading role because they're wiser and more skilled. The pair also doesn't fight for dominance. They work together 5. Wolves have a shit ton of stamina. In one day, they're able to travel 400 km, or 200 miles if you use inperial system, though only if it's a one day thing. After that, they do have to rest. They're not all-powerful. But still, holy shit 6. Wolves can be found on every continent, but a wolf evolved to survive in Africa won't be similar to a wolf evolved to survive in Asia. The only thing same about then would be DNA and a few body similarities, actually 7. Wolves are playful fellas and if they aren't hungry, they often play with smaller preys like mice. Sometimes, they even let it go if they just wanted to play I actually don't really know that much about them, I got all that from a presentation I had to do for school. But they have my heart since forever, I just don't show it by being a nerd :D
my brain is very good at reading signals from my body but like. exclusively the emotional part of my brain. If I randomly feel crushing despair I know its because Im Just Hungy and emotions brain is shouting very loud to get me to notice
3:59 this is why i go to murse so commonly it def makes dealing with physical issues hard i mean god i used to think weird feelings in my chest center was smtn with heart but NOPE, my stomach gets irritated sometimes and it feels rlly weird
something i dont see get talked about enough is that, im sitting or laying somewhere comfortably, not really paying attention to the position im assuming and im comfortable like that and dont really want to move from that position, but when something or someone, for example, a person comes to lay or sit with me, and they like, put their legs onto mine or anyother position where i shouldnt move because they are now ontop or next to me, i feel the need to move because i feel "caged" as in i shouldnt move but now that i know that i shouldnt move, i want to move even if that position is comfortable but it no longer is because now it feels like an 'have to'. Or when im comfortable in a position but suddendly become self aware of the position and want to change it because im self aware and now uncomfortable.
Regarding interoception, does anyone else struggle with feeling hungry? Like I just don't feel it? Sometimes the only way I know I need to eat is from feeling light-headed or insatiably thirsty. Sometimes I go 1-2 days without a full meal (I don't wanna count snacks) because in my mind "if I don't FEEL hungry, I don't need to eat". I'm trying to work on healthy eating, and eating more fruit, but it's weirdly hard because I just often don't feel like eating.
Since this is an autism channel would you consider editing the volume of these videos so they don't jump up/down in volume suddenly? This would be of great benefit to autistic people with auditory sensory issues.
5:08 I saw one of these at the store, but it didn't have a price tag so I couldn't buy it and they threw it away! at least I had a good 30 seconds of staring at it though
Being high functioning for me means I can mask. But I can't mask well. That last one, what the actual heck is that thing I have to have it !! it's so absolutely enthralling!! And satisfying 🎉
4:45 funny theres talking heads and one of my special insterests is decades and music and I'm on A huge 80s kick for the summer and from what I heard I think the lead singer of talking heads David Byrne is autistic
Me: oh I'm not autistic I make facial expressions Me finally figures out how to unmask* My mom: someone I know rear ended a bus, she died on impact and everyone else in the car is in critical condition. Me: oh 😐 *actually incredibly shocked*
0:51 That retroactive realization is a bitch 3:25 I hung out with some friends all day and one of them stopped me and said “Deb, we’ve been hanging out for several hours and you haven’t peed one. PLEASE GO TO THE BATHROOM I’M SCARED FOR YOU” 😂
Wearing a mask even after people stopped wearing them with covid helps with reducing how much I have to exaggerate expressions for others. Also makes that part of my mask difficult to maintain but I don't enjoy masking that way anyways so I'm cool with continuing to wear a mask with the added bonus of not getting the seasonal cold 😂
I can't sleep tonight because I'm travelling early and if I don't have enough time to do things I won't want to go and - Anyway: I'm leaping out of my comfort zone and asking someone to stay up with me... Who's in another timezone so they don't have to suffer with me... Wish me luck. I'm stressed and tired and about to make it 7 times worse
for me as an autistic individual, I feel offended when someone calls me "high-functioning" autism, like I barely function as it is, so why are we adding the "high" in it? and, when someone says that my autism is "mild", I always think of it as a Mexican takeout shop, like why and how am i mild? why cant i be medium or spicy?
My friend called everyone with autism (idk if he meant every disorder or noooot) Situation = we were talking about autism a lil bit Then I mentioned that idk if I have autism or not (bc I havnt been diagnosed) Then he was like “YOUR NOT AUTISTIC! YOUR NORMAL! YOUR SMART!” I was extremely p/ssed.he basically just called a lot of people stupid…. I’m sooo annoyed.
I have a problem with the idea of "You see us as high functioning, but we are not; high functioning doesn’t exist" It's the same logic as "There’s a lot of things called berries that aren't berries, therefore berries don't exist" But berries do exist, just not where we look for them, and the same is likely true for actuallt high functioning autistics.
i think this problem is it's hard to identify what high functioning looks like. i saw a woman describe it as this. she goes to work. she's successful. she holds her job down well and is social at the office. but when she comes home, she can barely feed herself. she has no energy to cook. she cries and has a meltdown. she can't keep up with the housework. but to everyone in her life, she's "high functioning." she's praised for being "high functioning" and when she has asked for help in the past, she'd told "oh you don't really need help, you're managing just fine!" it's hard to pin-point because yeah someone might look high functioning, but that's simply based on outwards things.
Okay,... I am autistic so I enjoyed that device you spun for us autistic people to watch. But maybe it's the ADHD part of me, but as soon as I saw how and why it worked, I soon became bored and lost interest then wanted more stimulation from something else.

Sadly for the first spider man one I did that exactly word for word on accident on a RUclips Disney world live stream
0:54 which is which bc swings can be stimming but adhd is energetic sometimes? I’m AuDHD and am the left
Wearing a mask even after people stopped wearing them with covid helps with reducing how much I have to exaggerate expressions for others. Also makes that part of my mask difficult to maintain but I don't enjoy masking that way anyways so I'm cool with continuing to wear a mask with the added bonus of not getting the seasonal cold 😂
Seeing that giant puzzle makes me want a giant puzzle so bad
I can't sleep tonight because I'm travelling early and if I don't have enough time to do things I won't want to go and -
Anyway: I'm leaping out of my comfort zone and asking someone to stay up with me... Who's in another timezone so they don't have to suffer with me...
Wish me luck. I'm stressed and tired and about to make it 7 times worse
Still awake?
ALL OF MY EMOTIONS ARE BIG AND LOUD ALSO I JUST ATE MY FAVORITE FLAVOR OF DUM DUM WHATS YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR
I'm very happy rn, the caps express my happy
Okay but where can I get the cool spinny soap bubble looking thing at the end??
2:04 idk why, I need to eat it
0:58 I'm both of these
for me as an autistic individual, I feel offended when someone calls me "high-functioning" autism, like I barely function as it is, so why are we adding the "high" in it?
and, when someone says that my autism is "mild", I always think of it as a Mexican takeout shop, like why and how am i mild? why cant i be medium or spicy?
I need to know where to get the magic thing 5:31
4:44 this isn't a lollipop and I'm disappointed
Plankton singing I need to hear more NOW ( yes I am Autistic)
4:48 what are these called
My friend called everyone with autism (idk if he meant every disorder or noooot)
Situation = we were talking about autism a lil bit
Then I mentioned that idk if I have autism or not (bc I havnt been diagnosed)
Then he was like
“YOUR NOT AUTISTIC! YOUR NORMAL! YOUR SMART!”
I was extremely p/ssed.he basically just called a lot of people stupid…. I’m sooo annoyed.
SOMEONE!! please tell me where i can find the thingy at 5:00 !?@?!?!@??!?
I have a problem with the idea of "You see us as high functioning, but we are not; high functioning doesn’t exist"
It's the same logic as "There’s a lot of things called berries that aren't berries, therefore berries don't exist"
But berries do exist, just not where we look for them, and the same is likely true for actuallt high functioning autistics.
i think this problem is it's hard to identify what high functioning looks like. i saw a woman describe it as this. she goes to work. she's successful. she holds her job down well and is social at the office. but when she comes home, she can barely feed herself. she has no energy to cook. she cries and has a meltdown. she can't keep up with the housework. but to everyone in her life, she's "high functioning." she's praised for being "high functioning" and when she has asked for help in the past, she'd told "oh you don't really need help, you're managing just fine!" it's hard to pin-point because yeah someone might look high functioning, but that's simply based on outwards things.
What you are describing is high masking, but high functioning, as in low support needs, is totally a thing
What is audhd?
Autism + ADHD
The lucky combo diagnosis
@@Ayverie4 thanks for the info 👍
Lamo I have adhd and autism so my depression and anxiety is even worse
😊😊😊😊
Okay,... I am autistic so I enjoyed that device you spun for us autistic people to watch. But maybe it's the ADHD part of me, but as soon as I saw how and why it worked, I soon became bored and lost interest then wanted more stimulation from something else.
I would put a like but you have 420 likes and I don’t want to change that
Does any other autistic person scream on rollercoasters just because everyone else is doing it and you dont want to look weird for not screaming?
Wait what disabilities were Colleen bullying
2:07, imo, respectfully no. That feel would be bad. Can imagine it and no. At least for me. No
4:12 so I'm either mentally ill or autistic (jk,,, its both.....ok seriously I'm jk)
