same!! it's my favoritee color :>
Honestly, same.
It's a really... (I don't know what the right word is) colour, and I love it.
I like yellow too, but my answer was :
WHATTTTT????!NOOOOOOO
I don't understand my brain anymore
I just grinned, as in "oh, I'm glad other people like yellow too" I didn't think about the "disagree or agree" part until after- and then I went "wait wait what?"

Me, a neurotypical who constantly wears those headphones, grew up listening to TLT, and exclusively uses backpacks: *I feel slightly called out.*
i hate how much the TLT comment called me out i was not prepared
Ye
I feel targetd here. Like so what that I've had the same backpack for 3 years and refuse to throw it away and have a sh!t tonne of pins on said bag and constant headphones
@@sp4c1ng_0ut8 same
Same, but I'm probably not neurotypical
I am diagnosed with ADHD but sometimes I think "Do I really have it?" cause some of the things that are mentioned in the video I'm not entirely sure I relate to or not
but adhd looks different for everybody. we all grow up and experience the world differently; if you've been diagnosed, it's very likely that you do have adhd, it just might be at a different degree. and thats alright.
@@user-fo1kz3zc8x thank you so much!! this helped a lot,, i actually feel like crying lmao hjhsjshj
okay i think i'm good now-
Yeah it’s a spectrum not a hard set of conditions. For example, I’m still an avid reader and my reading speed (for books I like) has just gotten faster and for longer books. I also never experienced “gifted child syndrome” but I know that’s pretty common in a lot of people. I promise you the fact that you think you’re “faking it” probably means that you have it. (Plus you have an official diagnosis)
But it's like they say: if you THINK you're faking something, you're not :)
Dude the last one!! Like I really don’t get my brothers motives on being a successful person, like I just wanna be successful because my favorite character is a very successful man and I wanna be like him
that is literally the _only_ reason I do anything, actually
this called me out
I wanna go to a prestigious school because they have the best cognitive science program in the country and I wanna learn cognitive science, not just to go to a prestigious school
not saying im neurodivergent, but what i will say is that when i shoot archery i have to find a routine to go around the quiver and the bow rack, and the main reason i did archery in the first place was to give myself more adrenaline and dopamine..
fair reason
ok this is lame but like im vvv happy to find other ppl who do archery!!!! I’ve actually been doing it for about half my life. Like you, I’ve never been diagnosed with anything so as far as I know I’m neurotypical. Although, something kind of...interesting (I guess?) is that I saw it in a movie one day and my brain decided that it was time to not think about anything else except archery. Mind you, I was about 8 at the time but I was spending pretty much everyday watching videos, reading stuff I could find online, and making my own bows until I could actually get a real one. I’ve done the same with a few other random things (specifically historical concepts and geographical locations) but I’m really thinking that I’m probably just a very passionate person instead of neurodivergent.
the interest based nervous system thing,,,,????? not everyone is like that??????? people don’t feel spontaneously compelled to look up random facts about stuff when they’re supposed to be doing important things?? how do you live your life without spontaneous unnecessary research sessions????? no offense but seems like a boring life to me
It’s so weird!
But for me it’s more like spontaneous ideas for Minecraft builds or stories or art projects
Like people will tell me “oh you can’t draw this thing right now because you have to work” and then I’m like “but???? I can no longer focus on my work until I do this????”
But fr my favorite things as a little kid were cartoons and animals. I really really REALLY liked animals. In all of my free time I would just binge the show Wild Krats and learn about as many animals as I could. Every weekend my mom would take me to the library and ask me “what do you want to learn about this week?” and I would pick out a book on a random animal and then spend the whole week analyzing it and spouting random facts that I learned. And apparently other kids didn’t do that? And it’s not a normal thing that everyone did???
Yeah I didn't even know the importance based nervous system was a thing. I was like oh so that's how they do that.
Also, I looked up 'Blanket Octopus' after that tiktok and they look really cool
@@julietf3360 Omg that sounds so cool, I wish my parents did that
I thought that's what everyone did but when ever I wanted to tell my parents about a cool lizard I saw they wouldn't care and say it's not important enough
I have ADHD and I’m getting tested for autism later this year (I don’t have an exact date yet)
I also am mostly mute to people. My parents, siblings, and 1 really close friend are the exception. So I use sign language to a lot of people. Except I just started leaning it 2 years ago and it’s still kinda hard for me. So I also use a text to speak app and that’s also helpful!
Y’all are all swag!
You're swag too :)
you should look into sm (selective mutism) too! that speaking problem is eerily similiar to it
Omg maybe i should learn sign language, ive never thought of that and you just made me think of it for some reason. I have autism and adhd and really really bad anxiety and when strangers try to talk to me i usually become mute, i think i have selective mutism. Because i try to talk and i just cant, its like my mouths broken, then sometimes i try and a weird sound comes our einaojg i get so embarrassed. But if i learnt sign language im so scared that people are gonna judge me like what if someone tries talking to me and i begin using it and they dont know its sign langauge and theyre just standing tehre thinking im like some crack head throwing uo gang signs oh gosh
@@Crow23346 I relate way too much I dont have Autism but during a Doctor's appointment they said I should get tested for ADHD, But I do have diagnosed anxiety And The only people I really talk to outside is my family and myself, I Feel like I phycisclly cant speak And My mom gets annoyed and thinks I'm faking she'll end up forcing me to talk and I just run or cry
I've never heard of the blanket octopus before
I looked it up
It's so pretty that I started crying. I have no idea why
Now my feeling of wanting to look them up is or has... I don't know what the right word is, but it's probably a synonym for really big or increased.
@@cricketsarereal.7148 intensified? escalated? amplified? proliferate? I had to look up synonyms because I know how it feels when you feel the meaning of a word but don't know the word.
@@beexml9410 I think that the word that I was thinking of was intensified. Thank you so much!

Sometimes I feel like a sim. Like I'll open my fridge and then walk away. Or run the tap and then forget I left it on. It like I can't complete a task without completing another task.
For example:
Goes into the fridge, notices lemonade is missing, remembers it's in my room.
So I go and leave the fridge open.
Then I get to my room and notice my favourite cup is dirty.
So I take the cup into the kitchen and forget what I was going to do with the cup.
So I go back into bed. Then like an hour later remember I was thirsty and my fridge is open.
Executive dysfunction
Or dissociation?
The thing is, you don’t even know how most of it happens, so it’s exactly like being a sim, and the guy playing the game just likes to fuck with you.
Dude I always wondered why I liked those games with task-chaining mechanics like Diner Dash, but I realize that's just how I live my life anyways. Just doing 18 things in parallel, sometimes we'll and sometimes very poorly
"things former gifted student/late diagnosed autistics can relate to" was scary accurate ... GET OUT OF MY ROOM
I'm not saying I think I'm neurodivergent, I'm just saying this is painfully relatable.
You've got a Tendou icon, you're definitely neurodivergent /j
You could go get tested(to it took them forever to test me and I'm still waiting for results) I mean at least I got to talk to them about the eradication of smallpox lol
Welcome to where I was a year ago. Now I’m officially diagnosed as AuDHD. Cheers.
@@chapachuu hello from 3 years later! I am fairly confident I have autism, but I've only gone so far as my therapist (and every single friend I've ever made, autistic and neurotypical alike) agreeing, not full clinical diagnosis
The one where it's talking about dopamine and all that is like so true, I can't even learn if there isn't words like "fun" or "interesting" involved
SAMEEEE. I dont do the work if it doesn't have my interest involved in it I won't do it.
For example... I can't do math. Like it's a mental block but as soon as I need to calculate the % of protein, fat and fibre in my mice's home made food I will do it for AGES to make shure it's correct
Fr I procrastinate really bad when it’s something I’m not interested in. Math can be hard but if I know what I’m doing I can find it really enjoyable because each problem on one assignment usually uses the same few formulas and so I guess that repetitiveness can be fun for me?
Though I’m actually supposed to be working on a history assignment and instead I’m here writing this comment lol.
same like, i don’t get that people can actually do that stuff like, i can read my favourite book for hours and not get bored but i can’t do work in maths class without getting extremely bored and doing like half the work that the kid getting yelled at by the teacher for not doing enough work (not saying i’m ND or anything, i’ve never been diagnosed with anything, but i relate to a lot of this)
i have an appointment to get tested for autism and adhd on the 11th of this month, i’m so excited and nervous!
also i noticed that whenever i’m in my bathroom or kitchen i’ll leave the water running then walk out of the room or walk in a circle and forget that its even there :0
Good luck!
Update us when you get results!
@@jellyraptor3556 i will! :)
Oh good luck!
Our autism evaluations are on the same day :0
other people think papyrus is autistic too :0!!!!!!!!!! fucking poggers that’s like my Favorite headcanon :]
Ohhh!! that's actually really good! :D
I never thought about Paps that way, but I like this headcanon
i never thought about that while i was in the fandom, esp since ive been so out of touch with my autism until very recently, but like, yall?? im SO for this. ive already accepted this as canon. do not care ive never played the original game and ive been out of the fandom for years. i love it.
Papyrus is my favourite character and i adore the autistic headcanon! so much!!
i literally started freaking out cuz it’s like..no wonder he was one of my favs
Thank you for changing it from ‘awareness’ to ‘acceptance’ :)
The thing with purposefully misdiagnosing autism goes the other way too 😔 i have both adhd and autism, and my adhd is a huge problem when it comes to doing schoolwork, so i tried to get diagnosed for it so i could get medicated or accommodated-- and because the doctor percieved me as a girl and adhd is more commonly diagnosed in boys *and* because i was "too well-behaved" (thanks it makes me panic when people are mad at me ❤) they said they couldn't give me an adhd diagnosis, despite my major memory and focus problems. BUT they said they were willing to test me for autism, since it was more likely i had that. now, admittedly i do, but the problem with that is that if you have an autism diagnosis, you can be denied work, adoption, independence, etc. so my choices are 1. don't get accommodations and 2. risk my independence, meanwhile *neither* of those actually treat my focus and memory problems, the whole reason i want treatment, because they're adhd problems. ughhh
You can be denied things? Is this exclusive to where you're from, or this a common issue? I live in the UK and getting diagnosed didn't seem scary until now :(
@@beththedarkmage3359 I'm german and I don't know how things are in the UK, but here there are a lot of psychological things that mean you can never adopt a child, have a hard time ever becoming a public servant of any kind and stuff like that. So it certainly can impact your options in life.
3:13 that makes so much more sense! I love learning about the things I’m interested in and I have so many stored facts and things about Greek mythology and frogs and stuff and every time I try to tell someone their just like “ok?” and I’ve never understood why! Like this is so cool why aren’t you reacting!
Edit: this is a formal invitation for anyone to share their fun facts!
why don't you tell me a fun fact about frogs?
@@raalkire-eaton2704 frogs use their eyes to help them swallow food! They push their eyes down into the roof of their mouth and it moves the food!
@@beepboop2816 Thats so cool!
i like your profile picture i couldn’t focus on reading but 10/10 profile picture
Honestly tho if someone’s priorities don’t include learning a cool fact, then what are they doing amirite?
Okay just thought I should say this
One of the Papyrus facts is a little bit wrong: He DOES NOT like spaghetti (in fact, has never eaten it). He just cooks it and thinks everyone else likes it.
7:52 im undiagnosed, and dont want to self diagnose, but this school year only made me more questioning to if i have adhd or not. for all my life, homework has been one of the hardest parts of school because work is at school and comfort is at home. this year has basically been unending homework. :(
if you have a therapist you might talk to them?
i get why you're hesitant to self diagnose but i will say that, the learning disorder community (adhd/asd/etc) is largely 100% cool with self diagnosis. we get how hard it can be to get a diagnosis (expensive, biases/discrimination, etc), and it's no harm done if you later realize you were mistaken. i'd recommend talking with a therapist (they can really help!!) or just doing more research on adhd, consuming stuff by creators with adhd, stuff like that, and seeing how closely you vibe with it, if there are certain things that strike a bell, make you feel seen, validated, understood. make you introspect or look back on your childhood and go ".....OH" lol
either way, even if you wanna stay away from self diagnosis, i'd absolutely suggest looking for advice from people with adhd/asd online! or resources made by adhd people for adhd people! because whether you have it or not it sounds like you at least share a lot of common issues with us and hopefully things that help adhd people will also help you!
sorry this is so long. im so glad i graduated in 2020 so i didn't have to deal with how absolutely awful "everything is homework" must be, it sounds so difficult to get motivated for work sitting in your bed and im sorry you're struggling with it
You know your own mind better than anyone, if these are personal thoughts, it isn't attention seeking and you should look into it. It's okay to put a little trust into a well-researched self-diagnosis. If it turns out you don't have adhd, remember that even psychologists get it wrong sometimes.
oh, same! i think i might be autistic but my symptoms don't make me so dysfunctional that i've had to seek professional help so i'm nervous self-describing myself as that. basically i've got the "other people have it worse" mentality 😖
Time to out my worst verbal stim: the first time I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, I learned how to make the sounds Momo makes. I am an adult who goes 'brrrop' when I feel Any Strong Emotion.
I'll probably still be making bird/bat/pterodactyl noises as an adult as both a verbal stim and as an alternative to screaming normally (something that is painful to do)
4:19
"I need your immediate reaction"
YES
"People like yellow"
Purple
I wish everyone immediately reacted to everything
About the "people like yellow" agree-or-disagree' thing, I agreed, because there are people who like yellow; I mean, I'm one of them, I like yellow.
I didn't know that a person could disagree with that same statement for the same or similar reasons.
Maybe I'm so emotionally messed up because I have an *addict* *neurotic* parent and never had a *routine*
anywway pog I've got routines now, healing
1:40 - i've never related to anything more in my live

Also just a thought but maybe. maybe change the "awareness" in the title with "acceptance"?
it would be much nicer and you can put "awareness" in the description so the video would still show up if someone were to search for it

So true it hurts
Why do I do all these things at age 14
when i talk about my interests i always leave out important details for example one of my favorite stories from greek mythology is icarus and i will leave out names and the reason that they had wings because it doesnt feel important at that moment so it could leave people confused
1:30 oh, that made me cry. I wanna give this man a hug.

Also I just realized I have a lot more stims then I thought

Bruh same I got a sword for stimulation no joke
05:25 "Everybody does stimming"
Me: Not everybody, I don't-
*realizing that it's been 10 minutes that I'm doing the same sound with my mouth*
Me:... Alright then
I've known I'm autistic for over ten years (self-diagnosed at 13) but there are still so many things I consider myself strange for doing. Watching these compilations help me so much because it explains to me so many of my behaviors that I still find odd despite knowing for sure I'm autistic. It's like I just think of them as being weird/not something normal people do but it doesn't occur to me it might be because of autism. So thanks for the videos.
maybe neurodivergent things I did as a kid. wore the same outfit every day for years and nothing else felt comfortable, tried to climb everything that looked remotely climbable, rubbed everything on my face, a specific kind of rubber that I loved chewing on so much I would chew on it for hours, took my parents until I was 10 or 11 to stop walking on my tippy toes and I still have to make a conscious effort not to do it same with looking people in the eye, never learned to hold scissors correctly and refused to be taught, super sensitive and over emotional, hated any kind of physical touch sense age seven, got so hyper fixated on things they were the only thing I could think or talk about for months to years, everyone including me thought of myself as the weird kid, certain textures (foods especially) that I hated with a burning passion, no regard for how loud I was but hated how loud everything else is, could never sleep, needed a sound machine,a light, a lavender spray thingy, a weighted blanket, and 17 stuffed animals that I kept perfectly organized and would cry if they were out of place to fall asleep, always got in trouble for talking to fast, bouncing up and down constantly, looking around me and trailing off or just straight up stopping in the middle of conversations, interrupting because I didn't know the person was done talking (even if it was very obvious), talking to my friends parents more than to my friends whenever I went to their houses, gifted kid throughout elementary school but fell apart in middle school, snuck out of the classroom during school because it was too loud and overwhelming or because I couldn't sit still any longer. that was very long but basically I have been doing research and I feel like I'm probably neurodivergent (have had people tell me I could have adhd but there might be something else going on too) but I'm not diagnosed with anything and I don't know how to bring up my concerns to real life people but I would still love an opinion if any of these things are signs of something.
oml. yeah i would definitely say you're nd XD like, of course i can't diagnose you, but you tick pretty much every single box. to have ALL these things at once in your history is absolutely a solid sign of ADHD and/or ASD (i'm thinking ADHD too mostly, but because i'm autistic and because they're so similar, im gonna be referring to both for this comment, not saying you're one or the other or both)
even the emotional sensitivity and "using scissors wrong" sounds right - for the former, i'd recommend searching up rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) which is common in nd people. for the latter, people with ADHD and ASD can have trouble with fine motor skills and can be clumsy. not saying you have either of these, you might not, but they're both things i didn't know were nd things until recently and wished someone had told me about, so, if you didn't know, here you go
but yeah, as to bringing it up to people in your life - i'd absolutely recommend talking to your family about it. it can be intimidating, it can be scary, but they've known you for long enough that hopefully they will have been able to note this behavior and hopefully have realized this all goes beyond fussiness or being picky. sit down with them (prob start out with one or two people, whoever you're most comfortable with), maybe with some sites and articles already pulled up you could refer to, and tell them that you've noticed you've always felt like you were different and you've been doing a lot of research and you think you might have ADHD or something.
whether or not you want to get tested is your choice - the vast majority of adhd and asd people will accept you with open arms if you never get formally diagnosed just because there are lots of challenges that come with it - but if you want, bring it up as something you might like to look into. if you're more comfortable, bring it up with a school counselor or teacher. and don't be disheartened if whoever you tell balks at the idea - they might just need some time to think about it and warm up, and most of all, their doubt doesn't mean you're incorrect or your thoughts aren't valid. try again with someone else - i know, for example, my father could never accept the idea he could produce an autistic kid, but my mother was my biggest advocate when i was little. someone will listen.
sorry this is SO long didn't mean to make it an essay, i hope some of this might help you!
@@Marispider Tysm this does help! Thanks for listening!
this was SO so validating for me, someone who is undiagnosed but strongly believes i have adhd and autism after doing a lot of looking into it. it's really hard for me to get a diagnosis because i am an afab adult of colour and doctors are so primed to look for it in white male children, not to mention the tendency for afab people to mask and downplay their nd traits.
fellow nds who are undiagnosed, i see you. you aren't crazy, you aren't faking, you aren't invalid.
this video makes me happy flap!! thank you for making this compilation.

The more I watch these, the more I relate. The more I relate, the more I wonder if it really is just trauma or "quirky things I do that just so happen to be in line with ND ppl".
when you can realate to almost every single one, except for the trauma and depression ones, but arent diagnosed with anything
so i’ve been researching ADHD because my best friend has it and i wanted to learn more about it but the more i research the more i think i might have it. that first tik tok really stuck with me because i do all of those things, should i talk to my parents about it? i don’t know how expensive testing is and i don’t want to big deal out of nothing. i’m starting therapy soon so should i just wait and see if my therapist picks up on anything. what do y’all think?
Personally, I think that you should discuss it with your therapist. Your therapist should work with you on these things :)
@@bree3318 thanks that helped
I also recommend talking to your therapist, but also listen to people in the community talking about their experiences. Watch ADHD youtubers, read things written by ADHD bloggers, etc and continue to make note of what you relate to and how much it resonates with you
edit: remember that you know you best and self-diagnosis isn’t bad. Even the most distinguished experts let their own internal biases cloud their judgement, so just bc someone has a degree/license doesn’t make them all-knowing
seconding and expanding on the idea that self diagnosing is absolutely fine. while diagnosis can be the only way to get meds or assistance at school/work if you need it, plus it can just feel validating... you can usually figure it out yourself, and the ND community (esp ppl with learning disorders! im sure a lot of ppl with especially stigmatized disorders like PDs or DID will sympathize too) will accept you. and if it turns out in the future you were mistaken, then it's totally okay! no foul done.
but yea testing can be expensive and people can just straight up misdiagnose you, AND you may face bias and discrimination based on your diagnosis in the future (not to scare you or anything, idk how bad it is for adhd, but i know many autistic people have had trouble doing anything from being believed by their doctors about medical issues to having trouble adopting.. not everyone! but it's sadly a thing).
BUT rambling done, i'd say yeah, absolutely discuss it with your therapist, plus continue to do research just like imani said.
i'm thinkin of getting myself officially diagnosed too. i relate so much with almost every single trait on both the innattentive and hyperactive sides so much and i understand people with ADHD so well when they talk about stimming, hyperfixations or any issues they have as a person with ADHD, but i don't know how to tell my parents,,
i wish you well when you tell them though, because you should!
It's actually referred to as autism acceptance month now, not awareness
Edit: Thank you for changing the title to acceptance :)
gifted kid/late diagnosis one called me out HARD
Me being autistic, I have a odd thing i do. Due to my voice being rather low and me being able to talk in different octaves, I tend to respond in a voice like im acting or something. I actually amazes people so it is a confident booster
13:00 I literally told everyone in first grade that the Jonas Brothers were my cousins 🤧🤧
I came here to try to get a better understanding of what my friends with ADHD and autism experience, and then got called out on the trauma videos lol. But seriously the video that compared childhood trauma to video game tutorials made me cry
4:18 i am autistic and the polar opposite to this person - I am the person to often point out if someone is generalizing and not using particular terms. Likewise, I pay much attention to not be the one generalizing myself, which is why I tend to be wordy sometimes but I think it is of utmost importance to be exact in language.
Fun fact: For "people like yellow" to have the intended meaning of "some people like yellow", one has to add a signifier for a particular term, such as many, some, several, etc. To infer the signifier, that is not adding it, but intending for it to be perceived, goes against basic logic, really, much less than not getting a particular social convention.
6:47 he could've at least say "So, yeah." I don't know, it just made me uncomfortable like a cliffhanger that he just stopped with a "So." Sorry, really.
So.., the leg shake and compulsively shivering is a stim?! I have Adhd and I never thought that adhd causes stims. I always been taught that my shakes/twitches/random words are unnatural. Lol.
oh yeah adhd absolutely causes stimming! i'm sorry you were told that awful stuff about your stims. i mean, even neurotypicals can (and do) stim. but people with adhd have just as... strong? (idk what word to use) stimming behavior as autistic people from what i know, and leg shaking, twitching/shivering, and random words/utterances can all be stims.
no idea if you watch markiplier or ethan, i don't watch them much myself, but there's this really good comp of them stimming that always makes me so happy to watch, and idk about mark but i know ethan has adhd so! if you think it might help you feel better: ruclips.net/video/FVMmfXblbbs/видео.html&ab_channel=WillowHolland here it is!

jdkfsdjkfnsd please i did the pog face too n i also have adhd, i wanna know how many of us did that
On that one about people liking yellow my brain instantly went, "What? No." Like how tf I LIKE YELLOW. Its not my favourite but I still enjoy it. Actually looking around my room I think it is my favourite, i have many yellow objects. Manly pipecleaner stuff im doing.
I just asked why😭💀
"do you listen to living tombstone" stop this right now! i didnt not ask to get called out
"Compulsive lying as a child"
I have had so many symptoms of autism and that one is a very big one for me and i lied so much as a child and i look back on it and I'm like "excuse me no thats- why did you do that!" And like big yikes this is something i need to talk to my therapist about-
dude my mind is literally blown, I've been wondering for s o long why I was a compulsive liar as a child, lmao I can't-
I agree with the yellow thing because I like yellow and I have friends that like yellow so people like yellow
6:56 I have severe PTSD and this guy nails trauma recovery. Shit sucks but it gets better
Also 8:00 is on point
I love seeing people's stims! I do all the same things as the first one. Singing is also a stim because he helps me relax and concentrate at work (I always have my music on too). People think I do it because I'm happy but I do it to keep myself stable, if that makes sense? Especially when I'm really stressed. Also oh my god the hand patterns and the swaying. And lots of foot tapping!
3:48
Me: *Searches up fun facts about cephalopods, then, for an hour, reads 15 articles on how a squid can transform it’s hue*
00:09 wait twitches and stress shivers are an autism thing? i’ve just been watching these to inform myself but i have stress shivers and my head twitches a lot to outside stimuli is there any other thing that could cause this?
same
just realized i do the hand flappy thing and a while ago i wouldn’t be able to stand in one place so i’d just dance this one dance. i am now going to have an inner conflict over if i am ND or not.
COMPULSIVE LYING IS ALSO A SHMPTOMDVVSVSBSBSNSMMSKS
@@summyweewoo4148 i usually hum, so i told my therapist about it and she said it’s just me stimming. now i know why i make weird noises and wiggle my fingers
Were you designated female at birth? If so, autism is often not diagnosed until much later because, to sum up, patriarchy. (Basically women should be shy, quiet, keep to themselves, calm, etc, while also being stereotyped as being loud, irrational, etc. So basically just the ways autism often presents are the expected and/or stereotyped behaviors of women. And because of rampant institutionalized sexism esp. within the medical field, some docs ignore these as symptoms due to bias.)
A lot of late diagnosis and missed diagnosis is extra common in dfab people, and it's already under diagnosed. I was 16 when it was suggested and formally diagnosed in my late 20s. (But they labeled me ADHD at FIVE YEARS OLD just because I could not sit still or control my volume. Or interact successfully with peers)
ok so ive never been diagnosed with anything (mom wont take me to therapy because "your grades are fine" ) and i find myself relating to a lot of neurodivergent tiktoks. I'm not saying im neurodivergent, im saying i notice things. ex: i have sensory processing issues (especially with hearing) i feel the urge to chew on things but if they aren't the right things its baddddd. also if i don't like the texture of something i don't like the food, no matter how it tastes. ive been called a very picky eater cause of this. I don't like most foods because of this as well. i stim and sometimes when i do my family looks at me weird. sometimes ill just be having a normal day and then ill get a feeling that the day wont be good, and then!! would you look at that the day is bad with my sensory processing, or i can't focus at all (focusing is hard >:( even on things i wanna do like reading a book or writing a story or making jewelry or etc) and idk. I don't want to self-diagnose because thats bad but ya know. also sorry for ranting on youtube thats random but my gf broke up with me today so :/ im sad and distracting myself so i wont start crying
I just realized this person listen all the tiktoks with the time stamp! I *LOVE* THIS PERSON NOW FIRST PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN DO THAT!
SAME LIKE I ALWAYS WANT TO FIND BACK CERTAIN TIKTOKS I LIKE BUT FORGOT TO
I don’t want to self diagnose but I haven’t not related to everything in this video and am in the beginning of the gifted kid burnout so :/ yeah thislll be fun
11:32 MY ARM HAIR COULD NOT JHXJGSHK
first off love the linking of each tiktok
Perfect timing cos I got noise cancelling earbuds. I wanted the headphone version but my mom said it was a distraction
Wait a damm minute so I have my hair not being cut because I’m gay... wait no wrong video... ND wOw
Here is a list of things I experience that feel neurodivergent but I’m not actually diagnosed with anything so it could just be me subconsciously wanting to feel special.
-I can’t sit in complete silence, I need some sort of background noise.
-I get tics without having Tourette’s
-I have terrible short term memory but fantastic long term memory
- I can’t start a conversation to save my life
- I find it easier to talk to kids than adults
- I get OCD like tendencies with things like the dishes, socks, the way the pantry and fridge are organized, and when I clean things need to be very specific.
-I get intrusive thoughts
- I have trouble controlling my volume
-I get sensory overload
-I’m very sensitive to the textures of certain things...that’s why I can’t eat shrimp 😂
-I experience rejection sensitivity
-I’m a kinesthetic learner
- I go on tangents a lot
-I have trouble explaining how I feel
-I can never stick with a sport or extracurricular activity
- my thoughts feel forced sometimes
- I mimic things
-often have certain things playing in my head on repeat 😂
-I see no point in small talk
-I’m perfectly fine staying home for long periods of time.
-I experience synesthesia
That’s all I can really think of right now but I wanna know what it happening to me so if someone could help...that would be great!!
This is gonna sound weird but I wanna be autistic so bad. Cause when I tell people I have adhd to explain why I do weird things and why socially awkward and stuff they don’t understand it because most people don’t realize adhd has social symptoms and is actually very similar to autism so they don’t see it as a valid excuse. But if I had autism I could tell people that and they’d be more understanding and patient. I know they might look down on me for being autistic but people already look down on me and treat me like I’m so mentally deficient I’m useless. At least with autism they’d be more open minded to the idea that there’s more to me than my strange behaviors and be more patient. Any one else with add/adhd ever think this?
YES OMG
3:04 Messed me up. Can't imagine not thinking of a random question and going through books, videos, and websites for 2 hours until I'm on a completely different subject.
0:22
WAIT OTHER PEOPLE DO THE FINGER THING TOO???
YES HI
MEEEE
i didn't even know it had a name XD
"my trauma did add to my personality. Thats why i've got 8 of them"
SAME MATE SAME
The tiktok at 7:59. I relate to all these HARD. a lot of people have told me they think i have add or adhd, but like an earlier tiktok said, those can be misdiagnosed autism. But of course no diagnoses here, so like what even is the truth?
My whole life I've been told that my ADHD just made me hyperactive. I only recently learned that ADHD is in some ways similar to autism. I have learned so much about myself and my condition in the past year, it's astounding. I can call out my stims, I know what an episode is and when I'm having one, I know stress can trigger my ADHD, I acknowledge that sometimes I just have trouble talking, so many things! And this is because I was stuck inside for a year with the internet and was kept away from my ableist town.
on the "people like yellow" one my reaction was literally just "why?" and i laughed for like 5 minutes straight help xD
THE VIDEO GAME TUTORIAL METAPHOR. GIVE THIS MAN A FUCKING AWARD
0:32 I literally just started watching Ducktales and when I tell you that I screamed-
8:05 that’s actually really helpful for me because recently I’ve been upset because of realizing the problems in the world and my life, and being, “too young and immature,” to do anything. I already have at least 2 solutions for just about every problem I know about, so why can’t I do anything?
Yay!!! I’ve been looking for new ones! And I love your videos you are the best!!! 💟
Oh boy time for my monthly brain weirdness validation
my eyes have gone super big like a cat's because these are so relatable and I love these so much!!! I'm gonna be assessed for autism and adhd soon and I'm so excited since I have spent so long trying to figure out Why I'm Like This and I finally feel like I know (not entirely,, idk if I'm autistic, or have adhd, or both, or neither,,,) and if I don't at least I learned a lot about diversity which is cool as hell!!! hell yeah >:3
4:29 “People like yellow” my reaction was “Banana”. I can’t.
for 0:10 ..could someone explain the twitch/shivers part? i get them a lot and when I looked up online what it meant..it said something about your body fighting off infections? i’m confused since i’ve always had those weird twitches but lately they’ve been happening more-
Same for me I think it could be anxiety coming out in a more physical way...? At least that’s what my therapist thinks for me
That second to last one basically just confirmed my suspicions of me having autism. I have showed so many other symptoms, such as not being able to go back to sleep once the suns come back up even if my curtains are closed because it’s not pitch black and looking up random thoughts that pop up in my head and I could go on. But recently, I went to go get my drivers permit renewed, and for literally no reason at all, lied to my parents about having put my contacts in. It’s not until we get there that I told her I couldn’t see. But like these sorts of things have kept on happening and I just couldn’t understand why, but me having autism would literally explain everything for me. So thank you, random tiktoker, for sharing this little piece of information, it’s going to completely change how I go about life now :)
The one about autistic gifted kids was extremely attacking and I didnt ask to be called out this way 🙃
1:56 why did this describe me perfectly,before I thought my mind just mentally ages slower as all my classmates act more “grown up”,but this perfectly matches me
lmao i said no on the "do people like yellow" question because i've literally met nobody who's favorite color is yellow before, and i'm pretty sure it's one of the rarer favorite colors aside from purple and brown so-
i have a friend whose favorite color is yellow
My favourite colour is yellow. I don't know why I'm mentioning it right now, though.
I agree but I still said yes
wait wait yellow and purple are rare favourite colours??? bc yellow and purple are my 2 fave colours
If someone said "do people like brown" THEN I'd be like uhh no literally nobody's favorite color is brown (not in a racist way)
that last one fucked me up i love doing freelance work when it involves my interests
Not me going to the comment section to talk about how my hyperfixation is mcyt and it’s the only thing I can talk about and then thinking about even when I say something about it I mention it-
god i feeeel this. my hyperfixation rn is dragon age and as ive gotten older ive gotten much better about having conversations that aren't about my hyperfixation (i cope by literally talking to myself about the stuff im into. i don't care if my mom walks by my room with me analyzing how different character are foils of each other, she can think im weird im having a BLAST). but i remember when i was younger and hyperfixated on minecraft, tf2, and undertale i had the exact same issue. it's just.. so fun to talk about, and it's SO hard if your friends aren't into it too
@@Marispider yes oh my god and also not being able to sleep because you’re thinking about it is the absolute worst
@@persom7824 oh my GOD yea. like having to take 30 minutes or an hour bc you're in your own mind thinking so much and it's so fascinating you can't stop... i love and hate it. like it's fun, but at the same time i wanna sleep
@@Marispider same ugh
is that not normal omg
13:32, this explains all the non-malicious lying or truth-bending that I used to do when I was younger. I desperately needed connections with people so lying or bending things about myself to make connections made interacting with people much easier and friend-making actually possible.
I'm amazed by the system that's used in my country to determine how work is distributed for teachers, and today one of my classmates spent 15 minutes with me while I explained it to her, I was and still am really excited about it 🥺😸
my parents told me that it's really not that interesting but Idk I just like it
hey, that sounds super cool ! i’m happy you’ve found someone who likes to listen to what you’re interested in ! it sounds really interesting, actually, since it’s not something I’ve ever really thought of and it’d be cool to learn about something like that !
Yeah hi, any and all educational systems and styles, and their pros and cons, is one of my way too many interests and if you want to explain the same to me please do and thanks. 👉👈
@@dkecskes2199 OMG SO WE SHARE INTERESTS 🥺🥺🥺 ok so basically, teachers have points, you get them by taking extra classes, and every year you get 0.10 points.
let's imagine you're a teacher, and you want to get more modules (módulos in spanish, it's like - the time you spend at work. 1 module = 60 minutes, 2 modules = 120 minutes, etc (: ) or you wanna change the hours you have at 1school to another, so you ask the ppl that's in charge of that- and they check how many points you have- they also check the reason why you wanna move those hours, because if there's someone else with more points that also wants those hours at that school, technically they should give it to that person, but, for example, if you're asking for those hours because you have a family member with special needs and you need to take care of them, they can consider giving the hours to you instead.
when you get modules you can try to make them "officially" yours. if you don't do that, and someone with higher score wants your position, there's a very high chance of them getting it.
now let's say you want to be a principal- then you'll have to take a couple of tests to prove that you're qualified. they have to do that with principals, vice principals, secretaries, and almost every position besides teachers.
I like this system because, especially now that everything is done virtually, no one can judge you for your looks - you can have colorful hair, piercings, tattoos and know that there won't be a problem because there is no interview process, it is purely systematic :)
I don't know how this stuff works in other countries yet because I discovered this very recently but I was gonna investigate more about it today 😸 so if you know more about this, and you wanna tell me, I'd love to hear it 😸💕
and lastly, I'm sorry of this phrased strangely, I learned english on tiktok so you can imagine it's not the best 😬
@@victoriaanaismolteni4093 That is so fascinating and makes so much sense. It would be great if it worked that way for teachers in my country too, instead of this weird seniority system that just rewards teachers for staying at schools that maybe doesn't fit them well. Also it's really sexist, as the proportion of male principals and leaders to female principals and leaders is not even close to that of the whole educational system.
Also your English is great and learning it from tiktok is useful! Spanish is my second language and it would be fantastic to have a bunch of Spanish tiktok comp videos.
4:07 frustrates me because THEY CUT OFF BEFORE THE TRAIN FACTS!!!! I WANNA HEAR THE TRAIN FACTS
2:40 my older brother repeats movie scripts all the time. Now I know why!
OH MY GOD I WENT 20 YEARS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT COMPULSIVE NON-MALICIOUS LYING WAS AN AUTISTIC TRAIT?????? I screamed into my bed for a whole minute after that tiktok and im gonna go cry out of understanding now.
First!! And I love these please do more 💕💕
SHIT, the tutorial metaphor for childhood trauma was priceless and perfect. Thank you so much for that understanding!
either neurodivergent people need to stop being so relatable, or I need to go to a doctor... 😳😳😳
I feel this. Specifically the ‘tutorial’ metaphor. I don’t have childhood trauma, but I had a tutorial for Cooking Mama when I’m supposed to be playing Doom.
YAYYYYYY THANKS
I've never related to something more than the first video, makes me happy~
Hey! I love your videos and I think this one in specific is convincing me to talk to my therapist about if I have autism or smthin. Everyone in my family is neurodiverse, and we know I am, but we’re not sure where I lie, and that messes with me. Thank you so much, continue posting and being amazing love your videos once again
yes I do the "doing something completely different and less important than what you should be doing", but most of the time it's like, thoughts about myself? not all the time) but I will dedicate my whole school day reading articles about a mental illness I barely relate to just because I find it more fun to learn more about myself than some cells and shit.
