A big welcome into my life! I am a Dan a Welsh vlogger from the UK who has Aspergers Syndrome. Aspergers Syndrome or ASD is a form of Autism, often referred to as High Functioning Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder. I video every day of my life and upload videos for you to come along with me.
I also have help videos for helping people get a diagnosis of Autism or Aspergers Syndrome, and also some advise and help for anyone who is friends, partners or loved ones who suffer from Autism or Aspegers Syndrome and just about anyone on the Autism Spectrum.
I am also in a band: www.straightjac...
*********************************
Short history on me
I was diagnosed with ASD (Asperger’s Syndrome) when I was 26 years old, after experiencing life with Autism that was unknown to me for 26 years.
Now I enjoy all things in life with my dog Randell and my girlfriend Naomi, we try and help and educate anyone and everyone on Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome however and wherever we can.

What in the world was 6? Lol
When a sound is bothering me and people tell me to 'just ignore it." or "stop letting it bother you."
YES! I hate that.
Bring me some headphones and problem solved. Until then, I'm forced to be tortured by an assault on the senses.
Magus Same I hate that, easier said than done.
Magus ugh my mum always says that
Next time you hear that, import a jpeg image into Audacity as Raw Data, turn the volume up to max, and tell them to "just ignore it"
I've got five:
"Everybody is autistic these days."
I know it is seen as a "cool" diagnosis (like sociopathy) but people don't realise how this trivialises problems.
"But you're nothing like Theodore Boone/Sheldon Cooper."
Those portrayals are as accurate as trying to swat a fly on a moving train while riding a horse.
"Everyone's a little autistic."
Does that lawnmower sound like a nuclear explosion to you?
"If you've got Asperger's, you are not autistic."
It's a subtype.
"You could be less autistic if you tried."
I once had this said to me by a dyslexic class mate. I simply retorted "I never say that you could read well if you just tried.
I know many people are well intentioned. I just hate feeling like a museum exhibit.
Haha so true!
(I know I'm late, I just found this video...) You sir are a savage. 😂
And by that I mean your remark...
Slendery Does Things! A savage?
***** It means that someone is ruthless, and I was saying that cause of this guys response to the Dyslexic person...
One thing that annoys me is when NTs assert "you know what I mean" when they're trying to hint at something, then when I respond that I don't know, they'll simply say again "you know" and assume that I'm being deliberately difficult or just being pedantic.
No, I do not know what they mean. I've tried to explain that I often don't get hints, especially subtle hints. People seem to refuse to accept that I can't pick things up through a sort of 'social osmosis' as neurotypicals seem to be able to.
After trying to decode stuff and getting blamed for not being able to all my life, I've finally started telling them, No, I don't know, because you haven't told me. If you don't tell me something straight and I can't guess what you want, don't blame me, because it'll be your fault.
well no one knows i have autism besides my boyfriend and mom, but i do get people asking me every single day "why are you so quiet" or "why dont you talk" i used to get mad its so annoying to say the least
People can be so judgmental.
Yes, I get the "why don't you talk?" and "smile!"
My girlfriend and I are both autistic, it's actually the first thing we knew about each other.
"Don't use it as an excuse. You can change it." That hurts.
😩.
I.K.R?
I have autism and I'm really, REALLY bad at maths. Also the fact people assume I have some kind of special talent or something, lol not every person with autism is a savant
+Shannon Louise Haha! Yes this is so true! 😁✌🏻
I am also terrible with maths.
I am terrible at math too. I excel in art.
The Scale Squad same here. I'm better at makeing things and drawing
Danny Bailey same here
I've been called "The Walking Dictionary." I kid you not, my so called "friends" have used me as a superweapon for trivias and quiz games so THEY can win and get what THEY want.
That's all I was to them. A living, breathing superweapon with a high IQ whose only function was to answer questions like "which snake has the longest fangs" or "which one of these fruits is not a berry?" They didn't even share the prizes with me most of the time.
That’s horrible. Stick at being awesome and keep your head up :)!
The Aspie World Awe, thanks!
Gryphon of the Night say no to them the next time they ask you to participate, or answer wrong on purpose if u can't get out of it and when they ask u what's up u say "i'm a human being with feelings, not a secret weapon to be used for ur personal gain". as a human being with feelings, u should not be afraid to stand up for urself. now don't overdo it and yell and cuss and all that, but just calmly say no, and keep saying no if they try to come up with things to say to butter u up. bc at that point, they will say anything to get u to change ur mind. but stay strong fellow Aspie. it isn't hard, but life will get better the more u practice :)
Gryphon of the Night- I don't get that but I get billed regularly at school for my reaction, people find tourturing me mentally funny. It's like being some kind of circus monster or freak show attraction.💜💜
😲 that's terrible wot crappy humans.
"Everyone is autistic as well". When you explain social events are straining. Yes, everyone can be tired at the idea of going to a wedding of co-workers they don't even like, but it can't be compared to what an aspie can feel in terms of intensity and it's all the time. It's like saying "I have a bit of tuberculosis : I cough sometimes".
I have a very mild form of Autism (it used to be called Asperger Syndrome), and I can't stand hearing others tell me, "you don't care about anybody other than yourself." I actually care very deeply about others, but I just don't show it in ways most people understand.
It also hurts my feelings when people say things like, "you are being.......," "you always......," "you never.........," "you need to learn to be more........," "you need to not be so........" While there is that remote possibility that I am acting like this just to be defiant, rude, self-centered, or whatever terms you want to use, it is more likely that either I am not aware of how my words or actions affect others, or something is going on. Maybe I am hungry, thirsty, tired, frustrated, overwhelmed, or something else is going on. I may find it difficult to communicate this in a way most people would understand.
+Leanne Strong It’s annoying when people have an opinion on your condition.
The Aspie World yes it is. I actually care very deeply about others, but I just don't show it in a way most would understand
Leanne Strong I'm glad I see this comment. I don't know someone with AS. However, I've read novels in which a character has AS. But, as far as novels go, they aren't always clear on all the facts. So I started doing my own reading and listening. Because I want to know. On another channal about Asperger's, a lady also mentioned what one shouldn't say. One thing she said was "Look at me". Oh! Why I actually wanted to comment! I read a book about AS. (I don't remember the author now). Anyway, that was one book I'll never, never, ever read again or even recommend to anyone. Because it put people with AS in such a negative light. She made people with AS sound like this truly horrible people. And even though I don't know someone with AS, it felt highly unfair to me that such a negative book was published. So, I decided I'm going to learn on RUclips. From people with AS themselves. Maybe people's negativity strikes a nerve with me, because I have a disability and can relate some to people's unfair judgements. Now I'm gonna shut up. I'm actually a silent observer. A Silent learner. ;)
John Elder Robeson says ittt so nicely in his book "Be Different", I don't remember the exact words, but it comes down to him saying he might not show caring outwards, but he may cry or smile on the inside for someone else. I'm a bit of a curious mind,. so, I read what I can find. I especially like reading and hearing from people with AS themselves. :-) me reading and listening makes me just realize we NT's should start leaving judgement about people way in the past. I wanted to say be slow to just, but I'm correcting myself and say don't judge at all. Ok, now I'm going to keep quiet. ;)
Same here, i feel like I'm not understood most of the time.
Just calm down. You're just being over sensitive...
Haha
lol I had one family member say to me that everyone is a little autistic since it is a spectrum after all which made me feel like they were not acknowledging the reality my diagnosis. I also had another family member say that she did not believe there was anything wrong with me because she did not notice the things I was saying. Apparently her being more observant is a requirement for my diagnosis to be real.
Urgh that is so annoying when people say that!
I am an aspie. and I have heard most of the phases in this video
Gigi Mcdonald same
Yeah me too
same , when people say that it is not autism UGGGGH it makes my soooo mad
Aspie is a derogatory term we don’t use that term in the 21st century!
Im an attractive girl, so I get the ´you look too normal´comment all the time and it´s completely irritating.
#humblebrag
#juststatingtheobvious there´s more to life than being attractive, I wasn´t bragging. It´s superficial people that think I´m bragging because they place looks to highly on their list of life goals...
Amber Hale I get simular comments, despite being quite average looking
Ines S Well nothing wrong with that in my opinion, it's alright to express you look good, as long as you don't look down on others
+Amber Hale hey sweetheart if your beautiful then your beautiful good for you sweetheart 😄 but I have to take your word for it I havnt seen your face but I'm glad I'm autistic it makes me unique. You should be too
Person: "why do you do that?"
Me: "I have autism"
Person: "no you don't"
Me: *sigh* "alright then"
+Kieran Nolan Horrible when people act like that!
People can make REALLY problematic remarks without realizing they're problematic. For example, my mother. When I was six or seven (e.g. before I was diagnosed), some relatives were over, and I squeal when I'm really happy (I did it more when I was a kid). So when the adults thought I wasn't listening, my mom imitated my squealing and said, "Doesn't it sound like a seal?" And then they LAUGHED! What's more, back then, she used the word "ret***ed" (or the equivalent in our language) a LOT. (She uses that word in English, too, but she must not know why it is offensive.) Now, I have multiple mental health problems as WELL as autism, and even though about 99% of my problems are related to symptoms of autism/one of said disorders (e.g. I have trouble crossing a street because of anxiety, I'm exhausted because of sensory overload), she'll say I'm being LAZY. *Sigh*
Yeah people can get really harsh with it even realising it
I'm not autistic but it makes me really angry when people underestimate or misjudge people with any type of disorder. I have friends who have autism and they are better friends that some of my "bffs"
My best defense to the r word (I won't spell it out out of respect of your point of view). I read the definition, and in context (and even when someone uses it harshly, which is key here) the word is harmless because the definition is accurate. I am and can be described with the word accurately in context. Its incredible when someone tries to use the word to hurt you and it doesn't hurt. I respond yes I am r+×$!#%. Thank you for stating the obvious. Then smile. I have certain learning deficits described perfectly by the word. Not Every one can accept it the way I have, so I don't want to imply that it could work for you, only you could decide that thru your own experience. Understanding every thing according to literal definition sometimes is a huge help. Others not so much.
I have ADHD and I think it is rude when people say I just am not focusing and need to pay more attention well if that's it I have been having trouble focusing since I was a very young child. The to pay attention actually makes it worse sometimes. I know ADHD has nothing to do with autism but I just am say people who can't relate are often so fast to judge.
Elizabeth Mcclaine it's related. Some spectrum peeps have traits of add or adhd. I know I have some traits of add. Idk if it's vise versa for add/adhd peeps to be autistic or on the 🌈
One really is" why don't you talk more"
+Will hartgraves Haha, people uh!?
The Aspie World actually whenever they say that, I just shut down and can't think or process what they say to me as then they start asking so many questions.
Me: your hair looks horrible
My friend: why are you so mean?
Me: I'm not mean I say the truth
I've heard all of these! My 3 are on the spectrum and the one I get the most is "they don't look autistic" come on! You don't look stupid yet here we are... 💙
HAHAHA that made me laugh so much, :).
+The Aspie World I normally hold my tongue but after hearing it over and over again I just blurt this out and have said it ever since. They don't even know what to say after that. It's great! They don't even realize that what they're really doing is negating the fact that our whole lives have been a complete struggle. I have to keep our household sane while each of my three are so different and all have autism. It's hard and that's the last thing I want to hear from a stranger who has no clue how it is to live with autism.
I have Asperger's syndrome.
The most common question I get is what's it like to be autistic?
For me it's like being forced to solve a million peice puzzle when you cant fit all the pieces together and sirens are blaring all around you.
At the same time I see thousands of other people fitting the pieces together. To cope, I pull out my own smaller puzzle and build it.
Hey!!! Welcome to the family!
"Stop being so immature and grow up." Literally not that easy. Adult-type stuff causes me a lot of high stress. To deal with that kind of stuff on a day-to-day basis is exhausting to say the least. Even just the errands I did for shopping while I lived at my campus, the driving around avoiding traffic, trying to find the right food items, being indecisive, the little things add up and over time it just exhausts me. And worrying about making small talk, all of that makes me not want to do anything else for the evening/night.
✌🏼
"How can you be aspergers? You can hold a job and you make good money"
LOL!!!!!!
ikr as a fellow aspie i overcame a lot by being disowned by my own father, being beaten up bc of my aspergers in a locked in facility by other messed up kids for 7 months, going through 3 different foster homes and i still managed to get a job (with the help of a job coach) during school, and i graduated high school. i even had my own place for a little bit but i ended up getting into an abusive relationship and got out, then i started having panic attacks and didnt feel safe where i was living anymore. bc of the abuse, i started having problems with my leg and hip. i tried to put it off as long as i could bc my job needed my everyday and it was strenuous work which only made the pain worse until i begged my boss to let me go to the hospital. i had a doctor tell me to stay off it for a couple days straight but i got unjustly fired. i didnt know what to do bc no one prepared me for that scenario. then i took in some friends in my apartment bc they were homeless and thought we could get away with it but then i got an eviction notice. not sure how to handle everything, i left and came to live with my half sis and her family. now im currently job searching while helping out on a farm. the plus side to all this is i got to experience things and learn from my mistakes so i can make better choices in the future
I'm Autistic myself, and, ALL OF THESE ticked me off...
I've gotten comments from people telling me how rude I am. The worst thing is that they get even angrier when I ask what I did wrong, thinking that I'm playing dumb or something. They never tell me what it is I did to offend them, because apparently I already know. I used to get yelled at all the time for doing something, which made me feel even worse. I hate being the bad guy all the time...
Some people are just horrible.
I used to get that from my parents all the time.
"Why are you upset right now?"- This is a completely valid question, but it causes me to become even more upset when people ask. It's as if what we were talking about wasn't important enough to seriously consider.
+Seeds When it's nite time Yeah it is hard and difficult.
My #11: "You probably have ADHD/OCPD/[other disorder which doesn't match my symptoms]." --These sort of comments are usually delivered by new GPs who are in a rush, psychiatrists who have just met me, and "armchair diagnosticians" who still think autism is rare, only presents in children (hey, we grow up!), and/or must obviously look "severe" and fit the narrow stereotypes or limited interactions with autistics that the speaker has had.
That is to say, this happens because of assumptions like the 10 Dan mentioned. (And because my gender is female.)
+11 OMG, you are sooo quiet!
+12 Why are you so shy? Don't be shy!
Backhanded Compliments Are Horrible, It Seems That So Many People Are Just Ignorant As To What Struggles We Experience Daily Due To Their Misconceptions On What Autism Is
Yeah, its like hey say: "Oh you're doing really well considering".
I don't want to be a bad person but is there a reason every word you type has capital letter in it?
+Jobo A Compulsion For Order Courtesy Of Autism
+The Aspie World Exactly, I'm Pretty Sure It's Due To The Fact That It's Not Really A Visible Condition. The Assumption That Every Autistic Person Sits Quietly In The Corner And Doesn't Interact With Others Leads To Most People Completely Overlooking What Hurdles We Have To Overcome Daily
Yeah, more information is needed to the general public on ASD.
Love how someone from the inside knows what we are going through!
"Don't take things so seriously"
I've gotten that one a lot. No one else runs through their life like everything is a joke; I think some people are just better at hiding their real thoughts and feelings.
I disclosed my diagnosis to someone and they asked "so , did you just come up with this or where you born with it ?" 😒
here's a tip and this is something i learned the hard way more than once: don't disclose ur diagnosis with anyone unless u have known them for years and can trust that they'll be smart about it. but if this was someone u had known for a while before telling them, then im sorry they said that to u. but if u put urself in their shoes, they were probably just very confused bc perhaps u act in a way that most people with ur diagnosis dont and they're more familiarized with the typical symptoms that are very easy to catch. maybe to them, u always seemed like someone without the diagnosis
"Not looking someone in the eyes is racist."
also can someone answer me on this: WHY DO MOST PEOPLE TALK TO ME IN BABY VOICES?! it's like, I have Aspergers yeah, but I'm a full grown adult who has gotten through foster care, juggled a job while in high school, graduated from high school, and plan on going to college. i'm not a friggin baby or "retarded". i just think differently than people without aspergers is all
People do that to me too. It makes me want to scream.
Pales Gensler i actually have risen my voice to a few of those people before but they dont learn nor do they care. And if they do care then they show it in a shitty way, excuse my language but it is my biggest pet peeve
It annoys me to no end when I'm treated like a child or when condescending arseholes talk down to me .
Yeah that's annoying!
+Mick Watson Yeah, it's so stupid!
Mick Watson I had one person talk to me in a baby voice, so i used the same tone back at her. she got frustrated and asked me why i was talking to her like that and i said "the same reason why ur talking to me like that". she didnt stop, so i didnt stop either. in the end, she never stopped, but i also never stopped ;) u can use these moments to get a kick out of their stupidity and ignorance
I used to work in a store and occasionally we would see a child have a meltdown and it seemed inappropriate for the child's age - the other employees would judge the parents and say the child was spoiled and need a good spanking. Even before I knew about ASD, I thought maybe the child has sensory issues and is overwhelmed (which was my children's and my experience with sensory overload). People just like to judge :(
Or when I'm trying to explain that I find something hard and that a lot of other autistic can as well I'm using it as an excuse. No. It's not an EXCUSE it's a REASON! Me commenting on a common difficulty I share with other people is not an excuse.
I actually don't mind the Rain Man comparison if it's done jokingly by someone I trust. I'll sometimes kid around saying "No I can't count the toothpicks if you drop them on the floor!"
I actually went into a bookstore about 3 years ago when I started to figure out I could be on the autism spectrum. I asked the lady behind the counter if there were books on autism, and she just assumed I had a child with autism. I said "No, it's for me" and she just stared blankly. Ugh!
I find it flattering that they compare me to an intelligent person of the spectrum. I LOVE Rain Man. I think if he was a real person, living now, we would get along great! We have a lot in common. The same anxieties, the same taste in late night TV game shows, and a struggling loved one desperate to connect and understand the way we view the world. And in an ever changing world, where a word two seconds ago now offends everyone around us, is a terrifying thing to wake up to!
It's the Sheldon Cooper one I despise. Because it sheds an EXTREMELY toxic light on how the world thinks we act. AND HE'S NOT EVEN AUTISTIC. HE'S GAY.
I'm not a homophobe but that comparison seriously hurts because now I am terrified to be anywhere near people because I'm scared that's how they see me.
funnily enough, i actually struggled with basic math but excelled in algebra and the more "difficult" math
"just get over it" or the worst "why can't you just..."
I hate it when people say "Everyone is a little autistic."
😂👌🏻
my friend's mom works with young nonverbal autistic kids and that friend told me that she doesn't think i'm autistic bc i'm not like the kids her mom works with. ok..... (later she watched a meltdown happen and conceded that she thinks im "very very very high funtioning" EYEROLL)
Ah, yes it is quite patronising!!!
I hate that NTs call it a disorder - why does different have to equate 'wrong' or 'bad'. I also hate when NTs refer to me 'aspie' - it always sounds derogatory/and or patronising to me. I hate it when people use 'autistic' or 'aspie' as an insult too!
just how the world works :( if ur not in a certain range of expectations, u have a "disability". but u dont have to look at it like such if u dont want to. do what im doing if u want. im choosing to embrace my aspergers as my personal friend. i personally think its bc of my aspergers im multi talented. i can draw, write, and somewhat sing
I like being called an aspie. I call myself that all the time, I'm proud of it.
I hate when people say, that I don't have aspergers, I just want to have it. I hate this type of people.
It really annoys me when people treat me like a child and then when I try to call them out on that they just say I’m being overly sensitive.
Always love it when somebody asked me the following questions.......... Why does that bother you??? Why are you so upset??? I always say I'm an aspie. First of all everything bothers me second of all people asking dumb questions like why are you upset makes me upset. you know something in a world where we have access to all this technology and information is literally at our fingertips I don't think there's any excuse for ignorance nowadays all you got to do is Google it.
✌🏼
I can relate because I have autism and adhd I have been diagnosed
You are completly right! I got to know these things only durring the discovery process. Before i had my son, i was not educated. And i had no idea that i myself, am on the spectrum.
But this is why, everytime I see a really good poster or AUTISM messeges..I post them for friends & mutual friends to learn & spread awareness.
I particularly hate it when my younger cousin (who is purposely annoying) calls me "hacker" or "evil genius". Perhaps he is alluding to my intelligence, but the hacker thing is another stereotype that's got to go.
+Aspies Rock! Yes this can be frustrating but you must ignore it.
Heard that I am nothing but a behavior problem not suffering from ASD (Aspergers).
+dragonsthrone That’s horrible!
That's my mother's take.
Got diagnosed with Autism/Aspergers Syndrome in April of this year and I've heard all 10 of these in that time! Bloody mental haha. Great video man!
It's sad this is so true. I have heard this once: No you aren't autistic. And I'm like dude I've been diagnosed since I was 4 I'm now 20 I think I'm autistic ahah. Or this: you hide it well I'm proud. And a few weeks later yeah you've to hide it better... Right okay
It's very sad, and rude of people to talk to us like that.
I was diagnosed when I was four too, my kindergarten teacher worked with children on the spectrum in the past, and she picked up on the unusual behaviour I had at the time:)
So when people ask I can say "Yes I do have a disability I was diagnosed at four" It's comforting as I've got evidence to back it up, mine is called 'Pervasive Developmental Delay' now I'm qn adult it's just known as a intellectual disability=)
'It's just a way of getting benefits.'
Urrgghh
I totally agree! It’s so annoying wen people throw these questions!
👍🏼
-_- people.
+Sirrius the moonblade yup 😩
neurotypicals...
I'm usually flattered by the high functioning comment actually because I really try hard act a certain way in public. That said, I do understand all the other stuff
+The Gaming Noobs Yeah, it's crazy!
I’m not autistic but I have been tested twice: the first time for general autism spectrum disorders and the second time for asbergers. One thing that annoys me though is when someone says everyone is autistic. Sure, anyone can have autistic symptoms such as being introverted, repetitive actions and difficulty communicating, but that doesn’t mean everyone is autistic. Take being pregnant for example. Anyone can have symptoms of being pregnant such as back pain, tiredness and swollen feet. Is everyone pregnant? No. Although autism is fairly complex, there is one thing that is simple about it; you either have it or you don’t. There’s no little bit about it. Saying everyone is autistic is like saying everyone is a bit depressed. Yes, we all have down days, but depression is a condition people have to live with. Same as autism.
Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
The Aspie World it’s ok.
My name is Alexandra I'm nine I have Asperger's syndrome
I was diagnosed around three weeks ago. Four people gave already asked me about medication, ALL of them work with people who are Autistic.
✌🏼
I have a few
1. "autism isn't real. You're just spoiled". My aunt said this loads of times until I got diagnosed.
2."autism is just a disease. You don't need medicine for it.". My classmates told me this soo many times I that lost count.
3."your faking it because your bad at math and every autistic person is good at math". My classmate told me this so many times as well. His parents didn't belive in autism at all!
4"you just need a good old spanking not medicene". This was my FIRST GRADE teachers words. She got fired making fun of a kid with down syndrome.
What about:
"Medicine industry is just a huge business. They create new "diseases" to make money with naive people. You're absolutely healthy, just unusual and unique person."
:/
One thing I got in geography once to do with a case study is that "pepper pig causes autism"(I know I spelt something wrong, I'm bad at spelling). My eye started twitching in frustration. HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO DUMB?!!?!!
Yeah it’s crazy uh!?
I totally agree. people say that stuff to me al the time. it's very insulting. I'm with you man.
✌🏼
I got to hear at least half of these within 24 hours of receiving my diagnosis. Amazing how quickly one gets to experience ableism first hand...
You must be really good at math!
“SHUT the FUDGE UP!”
😂
It boggles me that people will go and say "you don't look [thing that you just told them you are]" and genuinely believe it to be a compliment. I've had "you don't look depressed" "you don't look trans" "you don't look like you have a thyroid dysfunction" guess what, none of those have a specific "look" to be aware of and if I trusted you with this information, please don't dismiss it, thank you!!
Yeah!! It is crazy! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
i dont get the rain man
I have had a lot of people (teachers, school counselors, my aunt, and our family doctor) tell my mom that I probably have autism and she should have me tested but I've never been diagnosed because she doesn't believe it exists.
👍🏼
When someone says to me “Stop being autistic”
+Cam Etherington That’s not a good thing to say.
I know, I hate it when someone says that.
Great video :) the phrase I hate the most would be, you don't look like you have anything wrong with you, I hate it when people say this because being on the spectrum isn't always something you can see from the outside.
When people use the word autistic or autism with the intent of offending someone that doesn't agree with them or let's them do what they want.
✌🏼
the rainman one just pisses me off aswell as the what medication
+LawnTractorBoy Yeah!
Yep. Often.
✌🏼
Once I went to hospital and the doctor didn't have a CLUE what Asperger's syndrome is.WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!???????????
+Emybugzy YOLOL Oh no! That's terrible, what kind of medical practitioners are they!
Not had a diagnosis for long, and the only kind of comments I have had which match those in the video is that I don't seem like I am autistic. Thankfully I have no emotional reaction to it, I just see it as an opportunity to educate. Mainly I need to explain what being on a spectrum really means, and it is not like being placed on just one part of a measurable continuum. I'm not a certain distance along the spectrum because that is not how a spectrum works.
+Steve Warner Yeah, people don’t understand.
The Aspie World: Hopefully one day, everyone will. People are getting more aware, but conversely some are even more ignorant with the jokes and memes like "autistic screeching". We need more people like you who help out. You have a good and engaging channel. Looking forward to seeing how it grows. All the best.
Genuine question: Why shouldn't you say #1 & #2 to an autistic person?
I've had a lot of experiences with meeting autistic people where I could immediatly tell they were autistic. May have to do with the fact that my father works at a school for teens with mental or physical "disabilities" (don't know the propper, PC term in english). Their form of autism may be much higher on the scale considering they are in the same class as a kid with down syndrome, but when my boyfriend first told me that he is autistic I was really surprised and confused. It did not match with my previous experience with people with autism and I'm sorry to say that I said forbidden phrases 1 & 2 immediatly...
+Kim It is because everyone with ASD is different, not everyone will be the same although the condition will still trigger neurologically the same issues.
People say that I use it as a crutch when they think I am acting weird. It is so annoying. They think they know everything!!!
Yup!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Think I’ve had all of them.
But I’ve also frequently had:
‘Just get over it’
‘You should have stopped throwing tantrums when you were young’ (in reference to an autistic meltdown)
‘I don’t understand how you can’t look after yourself’
But the worst I’ve ever been asked, thankfully I have only been asked once:
‘So if you don’t feel emotions, does that mean you could be a murderer?’
Yeah.
LOL this was great! I can't stand when my cousin and older sister make rude comments about my 5 year old and his hand flapping
Or how about “Can’t you just get over it?”
I hate that one because when I obsess about something negative, it will stick with me for a while before I can just get over it or stop focusing on that one thing too much. It’s not that easy to get over things or to let things go 🤦🏾
High or Low functioning or any form of Autism, it’s tough to let things go.
It's kind of like that movie Rain Man set the "standard" for how people see autistics. Autism is a spectrum, not just one single disorder with a single set of symptoms. LEARN, people, LEARN!
+Rachel Kowalski This is true! Thank you for the input!
I actually love a couple of those questions, but there goes my fascination with Philosophy, English Literature, and the Arts. I had 1-3,& 6. Rainman was earlier today.
There's another one I thought of for women/girls: "Why don't you dress up more often"? Because I hate trying to force my legs closed, there's no point to feeling uncomfortable. Just wear pants!
👍🏼
My grand dad and gran say the first 2 to me all the time and i hate it and if you were me im 100% that you would be to
Ah
Great vid! More like this please!
I am sixteen years old and have aspergers. I've been diagnoses I was 2 1/2. I am high functioning but I always get the question ". If you're high functioning why don't you have a job or license already?" Or " Girls don't usually have aspergers. Are you sure you really have it?
Yeah, that is a good point. Please always say girls can't have ASD... so silly!
+The Aspie World I know, it's really disappointing.
I’m autistic and I agree that many autistic people are assholes and are rude I’m on the high end of the spectrum and I’m 17 and even I’ve learnt how to be a decent person
Just because your autistic it doesn’t mean you can’t be an asshole
I've gotten "you're not autistic, you're a psychic indigo child"; the psychic comment was little flattering
+Mikhael Bartocci Haha, I have also read about the indigo children. Very interesting and I am of that era.
Thanks
Your hair looks great here, I mean it always does but I haven't seen this style XD

Slowly growing. Good job
Thank you, :).
People cannot tell that watching or being in a social situation that I find horrible has such an effect upon me. So, programs and films that they like are painful for me and I just want to get away from them. I know that some might say it is up to me to look out for it and not let it be painful for me - but what the hell? Would they go do something they find horrible and put up with it? No. They would avoid it. Weird.
From an ex-coworker: "But you're at work now. You have to just hang everything at the door and not let anything bother you while you're at work" Me: Staring at her in absolute shock. Once I was able to speak again, I told her that we are people, not machines. First of all, even for non-autistic people that is old-fashioned and absolutely humanly impossible. Unfortunately, she's only one of many that thinks like that at my work.
Omg the you must be really high functioning ( my teacher even said it to me ) and what medicine do you take drives me nuts, I had to argue that there’s technically no “medicine for autism” and that it’s possible there are pills for other diagnoses that can tend to come hand in hand with autism like anxiety or depression, you cant “fix” autism it drives me nuts when people don’t understand it’s like expecting someone to rewire there brain, no pills do that, I almost had a freak out arguing it. This video is on point 👌
I can't process a lot of information in short time, and i will forget and some people say "well, don't forget then"
You want to know what pisses me off the most? People saying, "You're not autistic. Maybe if you actually tried, your problems would go away." Or what my friends said: "If you were autistic, you wouldn't be able to talk." I challenge these people to do some goddamn research on autism spectrum disorders. Then they won't be telling me that type of bullshit.
+Miss Mia Yeah, it's crazy how ignorant some people can be!
With my oldest I hear oh he’s not autistic or there’s ways to treat autism so he won’t have it anymore.
🤦🏻♂️, so crazy when people are so ignorant!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Hilarious stuff people say about aspies. They don't deserve an explanation; should be left to figure it out themselves.
+Vishva Kumara Haha it is funny some times. I guess it’s no ones fault, that’s why I make these videos!
but they cant figure it out...thats why they use words like odd, or weird... then you ask what makes me odd or weird, they cannot say why..... heeheehee!
I'm Autstic.
I hear a noise that no one else hears and they tell me "it's all in your head" when it's not
