Thank you for sharing about late-diagnosis ASD, even if the YT format was initiated by ADHD (that combo is tricky for me too). I'm sorry for your loss. Your description of not being judgemental of our individual reactions during grief resonated through my autistic lens. Being misperceived as a rock is a constant struggle as I also try to get better at tuning into feelings before they are huge.
A few months ago during a time of overwhelm, I impulsively unsubscribed to most or maybe all the you tube channels I'd been enjoying. I also deleted the contacts on my phone. There is much yet in that experience unprocessed. And the action I took has yielded both benefits and difficulty. I am feeling very grateful now that at last just minutes ago I searched for Suddenly Autistic. I was hoping it would be this channel. I enjoy the detail in your verbal processing. So I've resubscribed. Glad you're still making videos. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm glad you are feeling a little more able to tackle the world again. I'm definitely keeping on with the videos at my own pace so not really in line with algorithmic success etc. Hope that helps
Our autism is not something that had only begun with ‘diagnosis’, it was an integral part of our first breath after being separated from our mother’s womb. Wisdom has no bars from its understanding, our autism is a mere issue and one that accompanies gender or race and nothing more. In the Providence of the mind there are no limits. Our daybook has an option from a Buddhist aphorism, "Whatever you run from becomes your shadow." Our night book is all shadow. “In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the mind there are no limits.” ― John C. Lilly, M.D.
Please do not erase comments that had more than the original author. Below is what I was to write but now I cannot now within its context. Autism is dynamic there is no one kind of manifestation of it. One thing most of us with autism experience is an inability to generate income and a measure of self-reliance, but even when it its achieved a new hand of troubled cards is dealt; the shadow is long.
I believe everyone has the ability to delete their own comments. I do prefer things not to be deleted but respect the right of others to withdraw their contribution even if I feel it's of value. Some of us share our true, traceable identity on here, can feel very exposed after sharing and realise the impact of their comments after the event (delayed processing/ impulse control or just change of mind). This is a mental health vlog so I'm not about to shame people for that. Thanks for still making your contribution though
If anyone wants to delete a comment they should go to the ‘edit’ feature and delete it with ‘message deleted by author’ and left in its place. It is not right that comments made by others be deleted for what someone might have had a change of mind. Once the barn door has been left open and the live stock now gone, closing the barn door now is a mere part of the solution. ☮
@@ElfieElise I do remember the deleted comment and it was a good point being made; I was using my word processor responding to it when it and other comments made were removed. I have lived what you have written and explained for my 79 years and being myself is not nearly the problem as is how people react to me being autistic. I have learned the difference between my own thinking and what others expect and have learned to trust myself and even if misunderstood. I have certainly have and do make mistakes, but use them to forge a better path forward. We will often upset people by being ourselves, but we must trust our own essence and even if misunderstood. Praise from others is highly over rated and I can give a long list of writers, artists, and thinkers who were ridiculed and were yet in time were shown to be more correct than not. ☮
@@artemisXsidecross I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment and I am not enforcing such a solution. You could enforce whatever you want on your own channel.
@@suddenlyautistic I will follow my own advice on how I will deal with comments I will make. I do not need my own channel do what I feel is the right thing to do.
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for talking about it, it was helpful.
