DISCLAIMER: Please refrain from making uneducated assumptions about an individual's diagnosis. You are allowed to express concern of whether you believe someone is faking or not, however, please refrain from leaving harmful comments regarding them. Autism is a spectrum. Everyone is different and exhibits different traits. You may or may not relate to these individuals and that is fine but do not assume that because you have traits that differ from them, they are not autistic! If an individual is proven to be faking or they have a negative reputation in the community, please feel free to respond to this post or private message me on my socials!
Also for clarification: Autism as well as any other neurodiversities represented in these videos are on a spectrum! Everyone is different! Do not use these videos as a means of diagnosing yourself or even questioning your diagnosis! Everyone will have different experiences and struggles! You are perfect the way you are and do not define yourself because a lot of autistic individuals don't like a food but you do, or you like wearing socks compared to those who don't! Be yourself and accept that we are all different!

Yeah this one is disturbing. I need to know more details and how this all turned out in the end and what lessons were learned by the professionals for the future. Basic linguistic misunderstandings due to the ambiguity of language and how different people are going to interpret it can’t possibly be used as a justification for arresting someone. As someone who is undiagnosed but likely autistic myself, I could see myself making that kind of comment and then being completely confused about why I’m being arrested for saying that an officer reminds me of my relative. That alone can’t be cause for an arrest, or that’s a very stupid law or application of law.
@@babybirdhome as someone who probably is also autistic I understand you, in so many ocasions the same happend to me and got people angry at me for comments that I can't understand how it could be offensive to someone (per example, I got told that I wanted to screw others because I said I wanted to talk about the Silmarilion and other things just to get angry answers by him after I tried to defend myself from that nonsense because I didn't accept it). It comes to a point where I can't believe that in most cases they really are offended or they belive what they say and they just want an excuse, I can hardly see it happening. I don't know if things happend exactly as the video says but if it did, what is going to be their reasoning for arresting her? How are they going to justify it? Even if they really believe so it dosen't really make sense that they have solid proof to justify it
Uk doesn't have freedom of speech like the USA.
Fr!! And the fact that at the end the people (or whatever they are) said that they don't allow the "abuse" of their officers and yada yada yada like... what abuse?
Bffr
@@ealpacaf.7463 it makes no sense
I'm sorry, but if a nonthreatening comment makes you think you can arrest someone you shouldn't be a police officer period. Hurt feelings are not a reasonable excuse. Also she was drunk...like drunk people say stuff, what did they expect?
The UK doesn't have freedom of speech like the USA. Policing people's language is Policing people's thoughts.
@@Sarcasmarkus Actually the US Constitution (and the first ten amendments) were apparently based on the English Bill Of Rights, which was founded by the UK in 1689!
@@Elliot0091 it was modeled after the Magna Carta as well as British common law and was largely influenced by legal scholars at the time like Sir William Blackstone, and Cesare Beccaria. After all the abuses the colonists suffered at the hands of the the king of england the founding fathers were set on not allowing our government to impose the same abuses on its citizens so they designed the constitution to prevent it. There's the separation of powers to create a checks and balance system so no one branch of government is anymore powerful than the other and no one can play king, and when they wrote the bill of rights they they wrote it specifically to enshrine a wider reaching set of rights than the English system.
@@Sarcasmarkus Most of that is true, but correct me if I'm wrong, the UK is a constitutional monarchy, meaning it runs off a constitution like the US, and it also has separations of power, like courts, parliament, and a king. The people vote for the parliament, and the parliament make decisions for the king while the court handles laws. Another fun fact is that in 1998 execution became illegal in the UK! I find that really cool! But yes, while the UK might not have bicameral houses, like the senate and the house, they still have parliament, and people still vote for parliament just like US citizens vote for people!
(Also I agree how calm you are on this subject! Like I said, say something if im wrong, I'd love to hear your opinion!)
@@Elliot0091 i don't think you're wrong on anything. I'm not deeply familiar with the english legal system. I'm fond of american history and the US constitution. The UK has made hate speech illegal, which is what the "abuse" is about in this video. Here in the US as much as we all hate hate speech it is constitutionally protected speech. You can't threaten a police officer but you can call them every potty word in the book. There are several issues making hate speech illegal, for one who decides what is or isn't concidered hate speech? Hardcore partisans like to label opposing political view points as hate speech, and stifling rational political debate on any level is a serious issue to a functioning democracy, this is exactly what dictators do when they get in power. They go after comedians and news reporters and anyone who's critical of their party. Right now they're doing this in the colleges in Canada.
The first one is so me EVERY TIME I have to make a phone call ☠
Me went I make important calls 😅
I have to write scripts just to get through them 😅
Samezies 😭😭
Yes, if I can even make the phone call, to begin with 😂
I always don't know what to say when I'm in a phone call and when I'm excited I stimmed and I rock my body alot
3:37 Being honest, this video adds to the checklist "I can't trust the police"
Literally like you say one “wrong” thing to them and they arrest u! Like who tf are hiring these idiots and why are people like this always police officers?
🤡
Yeah, I've pretty much never had a good interaction with the cops. At this point, unless it's a missing persons case or someone is already in danger of dying my motto is just don't call the cops.
As a brit, I feel so sorry for that poor girl! She didn't deserve that, and as a member of the LBGTQ community, personally what she said DEFINITELY didn't warrant that reaction from the police. Some police, especially in the UK, are indeed pigs in uniform
I’d say I respect your opinion but I don’t. I’m a British citizen and my dad and brother are police. You have a nice day tho
@@S1lver_bullet72 I hope you have a good day also, and I did say some police. I have no doubts that your family are working extremely hard to make the justice system better, it’s just that many people; like in this case, ruin it. I am also a British Citizen so I do respect your opinion and I hope the best for your family
sit down children, it’s STORY TIME!!!
this is called times i realized i was neurodivergently stimming and was made fun of for it! :D
so last school year i was chilling in math. i hate some types of math yk but i was getting through it
out of boredom and being understimulated i ended up pulling out a piece of my hair.
i’m black, so my hair is naturally springy sproingy, yk? so anyways
i was pulling that strand of hair, watching it stretch out and coil up, and i was zoned out, and smiling.
this girl noticed and was just like- what are you doing? why are you doing that?
i tried to explain, but i think i went semiverbal, because i tried to speak but i couldn’t.
class ended, and as i was packing up, i heard the girl talking with her friend about me. one girl said, “why was she doing that?” the other girl said, “ idk, some people are just so weird.” my heart BROKE.
I NEVER DID THAT AGAIN.
sorry for ranting and enjoy the video guys :D autistically.autistic makes very good videos
WAIT HUH? ARE WE THE EXACT SAME PERSON? THAT SITUATION EXACTLY HAPPENED TO ME IN MATH LATELY TOO! I was very confused because I don’t usually stim by pulling my hair out and playing with it but just did it absent minded, it sucks when people are so rude about it :(
I dont know about the spirit fingers in the beginning lol but I wave bye when ending a call 99% of the time lol
For me, whenever I end a call with my mom or dad, and they say "I love you," I usually don't say it back. Most likely due to it feeling weird to have to say it towards a screen.🤷♂
That's actually an adorable trait lol
Ohmygod the perfect and friendly phone voice, but dying inside is so me
I do the exact same thing as the dude talking about having a certain amount of feet in squares! In stores or sidewalks, I have to have one in and one out. For example, if I have one foot on one square, it has to be in the middle of it while the other foot in front/behind has to be in the middle of it in one square behind/Infront if it! I want to get tested for Autism, but my mom won't let me because "You can function", "You're a girl", "That's normal" as well as "No one in the family is, you're just over thinking and dramatic" (I'm not).
Every time a point something I did at any age that goes with Autism that definitely not normal, she says that too (lining figurines up for fun over and over again and never actually playing with them, hating eye contact, going non-verbal, not getting social cues, masking, MANY sensory issues, special interest, needing a schedule, hating sudden "we're going somewhere!" surprises and the square thing and stimming for starters)! There's a lot more I can list. If you want me too I can but won't guarantee it will be immediate.
I’m sure she’s a wonderful Mom / Mum - but is clearly lacking the empathy to be open minded about your struggles. (Hrm … did you know that claiming your struggles are “normal” could also point to the fact that she just might deal with those things too? 😉)
What’s your age? Country? (Some assessment procedures aren’t very quick or quite so cut and dry in some places compared to others.) Have you talked to your Mom about wanting to see a therapist? Can you talk to your GP during your next checkup? (Be prepared for them to shut you down as well. 🙄)
Ultimately, if you need to get on waiting listS for an assessment, do what you can to get on them now. If you need to wait until you’re “of age” to do it on your own, continue to research, research, research - and involve yourself in validating, uplifting neurodivergent online communities as you can. Surround yourself with kudos and validation, not doubt, negativity and, dare I say, shame. ((((hug))))
"Could you be one of my people?"
I hope the person in the end feels better ❤ It's tough, no way around it. But they deserve to live and everything good life has to offer. It's not their fault the world can be so harsh and difficult.
Keep going! One breath at a time, one minute, one hour, one day. Living takes practice, even for the allistic crowd.
I know you're trying to find something "positive" in this situation, but no, you can't compare how hard it is to be autistic in this validist/capacitist world with how hard it is to live by being someone considered as "adapted", if you see what I mean. It would be like pretending to know how a butterfly sees the world and comparing it to your own sight. We know we're deserving to live, the thing is : the world won't let us. We know it's not our fault but the people won't let us know, even after being diagnosed. To change that, we need to change things and to do so, we need credibility, especially in our suffering. If people begin to tell us to "cheer up", it's not gonna do it. That's just not it.
Regarding the first clip, I don’t do hand flutters but instead I do verbal stimming after the phone call ends!
Me too!! I practice what I will say (mostly because I call my manager) and practice my voice and afterwards I try to let all the cooped up stress out through vocal stims
🤔 I never thought of it as verbal stimming but this would explain why I feel such a strong urge after ending a phone conversation to go find someone in my immediate vicinity and tell them exactly how the conversation went, in detail
@@leaha.6255I verbally stim at the end of stressful calls but it is humming and screechy noises, not talking.
Here's a tip: If you're telling people about your autistic symptoms, it might help to stop masking those symptoms while doing so. Of course, completely unmasking is difficult, but just letting go of the masking strategies that don't come naturally and that you have to keep reminding yourself off or that requiere effort to pull off, such as focusing on eye contact or rehearsing something to perfection will already help a ton
3:52 How is that abuse?
Its "abuse" in the UK because they don't have freedom of speech like the USA. I've had a couple arguments with people from the UK about the freedom of speech, they had some pretty weird/dumb ideas about policing people's language.
@@Sarcasmarkus So you’re saying that abuse is just a word that helps them exercise the un-freedom of speech?
@@younscrafter7372 Yep. I like how you put that. Its concidered hate speech over there. I'm pretty sure australia also has laws like that. Arresting a person is state sponsored kidnapping and pretty extream for just saying words. To me its pretty disgusting behavior on the cops part, and a really stupid set of laws.
@@Sarcasmarkus Dude the US has children doing safety drills so they know how to behave when white boys and men start gunning them down on school grounds. I don't think the US is allowed to talk about freedom regarding other countries until manage to keep their own kids safe and trauma free.
A dead child can't speak free after all.
@@Sarcasmarkuslaws like that don’t exist is Australia. But depending on the situation a statement like “you look like a lesbian” could unfortunately be insinuated as insulting a police officer which (considering so many police have ridiculous egos) may escalate the situation to a point that the police arrest the person even if there is no just cause (I’m not 100% sure but it definitely isn’t a good idea to insult an officer because if you are speaking to police you are already potentially at risk of getting arrested). I can’t speak for England but my suspicion is that is what happened here unfortunately.
I’m not supporting anything that happened, I actually think it’s disgusting behaviour from the police. But I believe understanding why is still helpful.
I've just been diagnosed at age 25 and the stepping in sidewalks thing?? That's yet another autism thing in my childhood/life that I thought was just me being quirky?? here comes another 3-5 business days to process that one
1:05 When they said Autistic people process from the bottom up, I literally thought 'No I'm pretty sure I look top to bottom when I look at things' before I realised that wasn't exactly what they meant
same 😂😂
2:20 maybe that comes with the sensitivity? like someone with less heightened senses wouldn't notice details right away but someone who does would notice details.
That pavement thing and evening things out, gosh, I’ve been doing that as a child and couldn’t understand why
Same here
I suspect that I’m autistic, and the more I think about it, the more I notice traits in myself! I even have some stereotypical stims and still NOBODY I know thinks that I’m autistic. I’ll probably get a diagnosis soon, though, so that’ll be some nice closure.
the first one thooo!! i even did that on my telehealth call when i was getting diagnosed
I'm in awe of your creativity, keep it up
My watercolor teacher says that I always focus way too much on the tiniest details in my paintings, that I spend too much time trying to make sure every strand of fur is right, every leaf is clearly defined. I cannot understand how the otherpainters feel differently! Apparently it results in everything being too "busy" or "competing for attention", but I don't understand how not having everything rendered as realistically as possible isn't distracting. Any one detail that reminds you that you're looking at a painting and not a photograph could ruin the illusion (obviously there way be exceptions if the style is consistent throughout the piece and I'm not saying artists are wrong for doing something different, I just don't understand how people can paint loosely).
Maybe this is bottom-up processing? Or am I just stupid?
That does sound a lot like bottom-up processing to me!
And sometimes artists choose to not make everything in the painting super detailed because they want the details to go in whatever is the most important part of the painting to make it a focal point. Like if it was a painting of a bird in leaves, maybe the bird would be super detailed, but the leaves might fade into the background a bit by being more simple. Of course you can create focal points in different ways like using contrasting colors. If you like to make everything really detailed, that’s awesome! Make the kind of art you enjoy!
When I went to school for Digital Painting back in 2011, I spend a weekend painting a realistic portrait, which turned out really good, but the intention of the exercise is to get the basic shapes and values down fast, then render the details in a couple of hours. I went into hyperfocus on this exercise. The bad part is that I still can't do things faster, I need to take my time because I get caught up in details and it's very hard to switch to broader picture mode.
AAAA THE FIRST ONE IS MEEE IVE NEVER FELT THIS SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD😭❤️
Those fingers! I have done that all my life! It’s amazing to see it on someone else.
2:29 that is fucking disgusting. Even as someone who can't tell how people feel/ read body language, her discomfort is VERY obvious. The way the police dealt with here is absolutely unacceptable and they shouldn't be allowed to be officers, people who ENFORCE law, if they think they're above it.
Also I hope the person in the end clip gets better. I understand them as I'm having similar experiences, and I hope they heal, nobody deserves to go through that
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS they make me feel like I am normal
i used to (and still do) try not to step on cracks while walking on the sidewalk or i would try to balance on the line. i have very bad balance but i try lol
3:56 is my entire life. I always walk in patterns of three, when there are squares and rectangle patterns. Three is just my constant number.
1:12 According to my knowledge, this isn't true. I'm no neuroscientist, but I had to learn the terms "bottom-up" and "top-down" for my qualification for university entrance. What I learned is: bottom-up describes sensory receptors taking up an impulse from the environment. Top-down describes the organisation and interpretation of neuronal stimuli, which allows us to recognize items or events.
So according to that, these terms aren't about how detail oriented someone is. As far as I heard is the part about autistic people focusing more on details true. I could also imagine that these processes have something to do with it. Like maybe the top-down process is slower in autistic people which leaves people focused on details. Or the actual taking up of sensory impulses is seen as more important in the body of an autistic person, which also could tie in with sensory issues as @kalpic11 suggested. Maybe because of this the top-down process then focuses first on the detail, that sent the strongest sensory input. Idk. These are just speculations. What I'm quite sure about, is that no person can survive with only either the top-down or bottom-up process. Because then a person would either have no sensory input or understand none of the sensory input they're getting.
A possibility is, that in the book the person is reading coincidentally the same terms are used to describe something different. But then I'd find that author a bit less trust-worthy, as it would suggest, that they don't know about these processes. Or I could imagine, that the person in the video misunderstood something. Like maybe the author didn't explain what bottom-up and top-down means and just explained that they have something to do with being detail-oriented, which led to this misunderstanding. So definitely no hate against the person in the video. I find it still valuable that they shared the metaphor :) /gen
Could be saying that while evryone has both, one is more "dominant" depending
I think its also describing other things that just have the same wording (but could very well be connected) is thinking firstly in material reality as opposed to thinking firstly in social/cultural reality, and also something more about learning where you have to learn things as an entire mechanism with all the details, and requiring details for context.
Personally i feel like alexithymia and slow processing could indicate or be a cause of relying more on bottom-up(neuroscience definition) for everything because more time would be spent gathering adequate information to inform something top-down to begin with if you have poor processing. Maybe this sort of backed up or clogged pricessing is part of what makes our experiences so intense, or dull with some things
A more neuroscientific idea though is that since many autistic people have poor long-distance connections in the brain and reduced white matter, but more grey matter that its harder to get information moving through our brains for top-down processes
But also a noted thing is that autistics tend to have more myelin, more neuroplasticity(retained till older too), and more of some neurotransmitters in bursts but deficient otherwise (notably dopamine, GABA is deficient, glutamate is high), and all that would make our neural tissue very adaptive but respond poorly to unpredicted stimulus so it'd do a lot more to make good pattern recognition, and anything that does manage to give dopamine naturally becomes very addictive to us and very easily learned/reinforced. All that sounds like bottom up processes, as it doesn't have to do with the interpretation or organization of neural stimuli as much
Another possibility is that the same words are being used as an entirely different term & meaning. Bottom up and top down processing are said as thinking styles when assessing information.. the article where I read about it is on embrace autism website. It’s said to also relate to gesalt language processing
4:00 ... i finally found someone else who does this 🦅
Help me I have to go and have dinner at someone’s house heeellllp mweeeee
3:57 SO RELATABLE WTF
omgg the phone call one is so real and the one abt the side walk made me so happy i thought it was just me😭😭
thank you i love these videos so much
Excited for the new video, happy Thursday~
Yesterday for school they put up a photo and I noticed all the small details that others didn't
Phone calls are almost never that straight forward. They usually ask my name three times, spell it wrong and ask what the problem is multiple times
Hey man I love you videos, and I don’t know if you remember me commenting a while back, but are you going to make a compilation about autism comedians?
Yipe!
U were first
@@Alyssadaqueeniee. Oh really? Cool!
YIPPEE
2:06 I see _aaaaalll_ the bugs that are coming in to suck me dry
2:08 wait nt ppl DONT see all the leaves and moss and ivy straight away 😭??? I see all that THEN i process that its a forest like a second later, which isnt much but crazy
The last clip hit me in da balls
I don't have balls but I got hit pretty bad too. His story is also very hopeful
how tf is it homopobic to just say you look like my gay aunt
Exactly!! I was wondering the same thing!! It’s not like she was throwing slurs around or anything. She just said you look like someone
meeeeeee asffffffff i do not like talking otp
🤣
this video made me laugh, i was having a bad day cause someone called my crazy, stupid and ''abnormal''
I feel the one with the phone
Oh my god I’ve always felt bad and didn’t know why I didn’t show any emotions when receiving a gift
How tf do you arrest someone for homophobia when they say you look like a lesbian? That assumes being lesbian is a bad thing? Which is homophobic? Otherwise you’d be like “hell yeah bestie and I got these Doc Martins on sale too 💅😌”
I posted this on another video, but please y'all if you could help me with this question i would greatly appreciate it : Since a lot (not all!) of the people in the comments are autistic or suspect they are... please help me with a question I have. I highly suspect I'm autistic, but I'm not 100% sure. I never did the tip toe thing, but I ALWAYS walked on my heels, like all the time, like, my-toes-would-not-touch-the-ground kinda walking, I learned not to do this because it ended up wearing out some of my favorite shoes, but when I'm around the house I sometimes walk like this still. Could this be because I might be autistic? I started suspecting this because my dad has some very clear indicators of the neurotype, and my cousin received an aspergers diagnosis when he was very young. (I know it's just the 'tism now, but that was his actual diagnosis at the time)
Me, an autistic person: I don't think I have that much trouble understanding figures of speech.
Also me: Is THAT what seeing the forest from the trees means???
3:58 I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID THIS
4:05 can someone tell me who this is cuz I relate to them so much-
Okay I just wanna know if anyone else does this but whenever I punch/hit/whatever (most likely play fighting or on accident) I do a version of it to myself to see how much I hurt that person to see if I hurt them and if I did something wrong(i suck at social cues)
Yea new video:3m
3:59 pretty sure that’s OCD instead
No, it isn't. OCD compulsions happen due to intense intrusive thoughts and is very debilitating. What that creator was describing is just pattern recognition (in this case, specifically creating routines and patterns with how to do things).
Thx for the trigger warning!
Lol
Am I autistic because I do stuff that normal people do?
Wdym?
4:27 yes and I still do know if I pay to much attention to the floor and some times I do it with colours tho so my left has to stay in one colour and the right has to stay it the other or I have to completely avoid one of the colours and if I stepped in it I would feel like I have to go back a few steps to undo it it’s kinda like a fun game but can also be very annoying 💀
