  • Look here... yes sometimes someone being autistic can make it difficult to socialise with them. The reason why is more hidden and more complex. You just don't know how we work, why we behave in certain ways, what we struggle with... what we excel at.
    Honestly, this list is not a miracle method. Sometimes some people just don't want to make friends, or don't think they need them... but there is a BIG problem. We are one of the most mentally ill, socially isolated and alienated groups on the planet. We spend a lot of our lives trying to adjust to you, your confusing behaviors, your strange way of communicating.
    We are human too, and our communication style is not wrong, in some ways it can be better and in some ways it can be worse. Once you know the wavelength we live on and the language we speak, you may just find yourself with the BEST FRIEND or partner you could only dream of.
    Stay kind. Stay patient. Always push yourself to learn. Take a page from our book and hopefully we can bring the two brains together in harmony.

    I am not an autistic person. But ..I come to know about it after stumbling to a stranger online ..she was very intelligent with accademics , I tried my best to talk to her but guess I could not get through with that conversation ..Now I understand and I am very much grateful for her to try that hard by her part to talk to me ..this was really fascinating for me to meet a person with such intellectual ability. ....Thanks for this video , it is very helpful

    Yes to the honesty please.
    Seriously, I hate it when people lie to me. I was on a community college course a few months ago and was told that I was the best in the group with the computers and miles ahead of everyone else, but then I messed up a lot on a presentation. I'm talking flop sweat, minute long tongue tied silences, forgetting my lines, doing entire sections in the wrong order.... and got told that I did fine. I get that they were trying to cushion the blow, but that completely destroyed all trust I had in the teacher and made me doubt all my skills that had previously been praised.
    And once I had a white out just before a mock interview, I was completely done, I had to ask them to repeat every question, I stumbled over everything and couldn't answer more than half the questions, I was a complete wreck. We discussed it after and apparently I was fine, everyone gets nervous in interviews, they could barely tell and, the real kicker, you were better than average in there actually. Seriously? I was going to them for help with interviews, but the worst I have ever performed is "above average?" they should have filmed it and shown it as a classic example of what not to do in an interview.

      charimonfanboy hello my fellow aspie!! Yes, I agree I hate when people sugar coat their opinion!!! My anxiety starts and when I get panicked I get angry to the point I meltdown it’s rough...

      Indeed, I wish they would tell me straight! It’s hard enough trying to decipher social situations as it is, let alone trying to understand their indirect speech. I’ve tried for many years to get to know the neurotypical brain, but they still puzzle me to this very day 🧐

    An autistic teenager that I know asked my adult niece why she has a big head. He wasn’t being rude. He was honest and that’s what he saw. My niece didn’t appreciate that comment

    This is excellent, and you came up with some very good points. Communication is crucial for any friendship, especially being friends with Autistic people, and being open, honest and direct with each other and knowing where you stand with each other. I also agree that you don't need to have loads of knowledge on Autism to be friends with an Autistic person, just an open mind, willingness to learn and to accept them for who they are. Being somebody who also has Asperger's I might actually show this video to any future friends I make! 😆

    I am an autistic person and I am lonely AF. I try to make friends all the time, but my lack of emotional mirroring puts them off...that's my guess anyway.

    • @ThomasHenley

      that sucks, I’m so sorry to hear that. I was in a similar position in my adolescence, a social is definitely a hard feat to attain. Learning about people and joining different groups is usually the best way, although it may be hard to deal with any rejection, you gotta keep pushing on! 💙

      Start by being more active on social media, most of my good Aspie friends come from Facebook groups! You may have to block a few idiots though!
