totally agree I only ever knew I was different until aged 40 when I finally found out and was diagnosed it changed my life for the better as I finally let go of trying to do things I am simply not wired to do! turned out it was NOT depression alone it was a lifetime of NOT understanding why I could never connect
I want to get diagnosed too but where I live right now might just not work as this isn't the west where autism is now openly recognised (and they might say I'm actually normal). Idk man. It might just be my own fear 😂
I am a late diagnosed woman at age 51 and I met all the criteria for autism. I just didn't realize it until now. I have struggled through my life to just fit in. Now I finally have an answer.
You have a lot of company. Also runs in families. My brother and I have it...high functioning Aspergers. I even suspect my sister is affected on some level as we have common traits.
It's never your own shortcomings or your own fault, major laziness and narcissistic personality using a disorder to excuse not developing yourself undermining people who truly suffer from autism, who are nonverbal and can't speak or have no idea what's going on around them. Asperger's or whatever isn't even real it's only an excuse for losers

My grandpa is nearly 93 and most likely autistic. His behaviors started to make more sense after my diagnosis of autism 3 years ago. At last count, at least 30% of his descendants are either autistic or ADHD. He has had only 4 major special interests that have lasted over the course of his life. They are his faith, music, woodworking, and my grandma. He also has ARFID. He still wears the same clothes that he bought 30+ years ago.
@ritarevell7195 ARFID is Avoidant Restricted Food Intake Disorder. It usually means that you only eat a few foods because the taste, color, or texture of other food bothers you, and trying new foods causes anxiety. When my grandpa was a little boy, he told his mom, 'But Mama, you know I don't like food I've never tried before."
“spiky” skill set. This refers to the observation that unrelated skills are unrelated, so struggles or strengths in one area do not necessarily imply anything about ability in another area a quick google who knew! :)
@@Disinterested1 thank you for your copy paste. My post was meant to be humorous, can’t really see the justification for half witted condescension, but thank you.
Spiky skill set means one may be good at singing, but can’t play an instrument due to lack of physical coordination. Or, one can do geometry but not algebra. Or one can be good tapping out poetry in an online blog, but could never master basic penmanship.
yeah at this point i need to get myself diagnosed. i realized last night that i am not really depressed, i'm quite a happy person, it's just that the autism makes me *SO* exhausted all the time
@boozalm3715 that's just incorrect. It helped me discover different coping mechanisms and ways to regulate myself when I'm around/in a situation that is uncomfortable for me. I thought I was depressed, crazy, hormonal... nah. Now I understand myself in a way I never could before. The only person I told was my husband.
@@travelwell6049 Good call. I have synesthesia as a non-autistic person. Interesting though. I’ll have to look into a potential connection between synesthesia and asd.
At 36, I’m halfway through assessment currently, but it took recent bouts of depression (which I’m sure is burnout) to realise how much a diagnosis could explain to me that it’s ok to be how I am and exploring ways to manage it. I’m a month away from finding out, so in limbo at the moment, which is nerve wracking in itself.
Thanks for reaching out! I’m feeling better in myself, but part of that has been militantly making myself go to bed in good time to get 8 hours, which means less time to sit and do nothing otherwise, but has helped. I’m not sure when I posted this what the plan was, but my final assessment with a psychiatrist is on 19th July, so will see what happens, but I’m so sure of the things I experience, and realised recently how absolutely awful my physical coordination is too!
@@daisychain914 Thank you for reaching out with a follow-up, I realise in my last response I mentioned waiting on the final part of my assessment. Well, that happened and came back with the conclusion that, as I suspected, I am autistic. Having that diagnosis was a big weight off my shoulders, and it’s meant that I’m so much more forgiving of myself and understanding how I feel and respond to things, and alongside that being much more regimented about getting enough sleep. The result is that I don’t think I’ve had a significant burnout episode since my first comment here, and when I feel like things are getting difficult, I give myself the space and time that I need to recover.
Thanks for making this video. My autism test results come back on November 21st. 🎉I just turned 37 in October. The test I took for autism wasn’t too bad.
I’m convinced that 2 I had known in the past were undiagnosed Autistics! One insisted on driving and reading at the same time with the inside lights on when it was dark outside, didn’t like the way car headlights were placed, wouldn’t respond to his name and kept repeating himself ad nauseum! I found him very irritating, but in hindsight I’m thinking he may have been an undiagnosed Autistic (Some kid had to explain to him what Asperger’s was- he had never heard of the term!)! The other one had a long history of depression, couldn’t hold a job despite having a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering, and was obsessed with spiritual/religious matters- even constantly writing letters to various monasteries until they told him not to write anymore! When I suggested to him that he might be an Autistic, he never spoke to me again! I myself am an Autistic- officially diagnosed as a kid, but wasn’t told about it! I didn’t find out until about 5 years ago (I’m 60 BTW)when my sister and I found some old medical records that were needed for some legal business. While it finally explain why I am the way I am, I find no relief in it- instead it’s made me feel ashamed of what I am! I wish I knew other Autistics that were also diagnosed as kids but were not told- only to discover it later in life!
I am sorry. We all have shame as a result of living in a fallen world, with fallen bodies. This may be no comfort, but there is a future that cannot be taken from you and that is our destiny. Trust in the Lord Jesus, though it may be that we have to endure our lives in suffering...ultimately, all will be restored in Him. Grace and Peace to you, the Lord is familiar with all our trials and closer than any brother.
@@bluevireo425 Maybe. But nobody can know the Lord. One can’t have a relationship with a noncorporeal being. While I do believe in God as Creator (everything has to have a beginning or source), I don’t believe in having a relationship with Him or even knowing Him like one would another person.
@@jeannehall6546 I understand. Just some thought, The Word of God (Jesus) took on flesh...so, he is familiar with our struggles. If you ever get a Bible, read the book of John in the KJV. The Creator is seen in the person of Jesus...the Bible says for all the fulness of the Godhead dwells in him. Anyway, you are not alone, the Lord bore all our sin and shame on the Cross...when we understand this, we have peace with God. Obviously, I'm a Bible believer...so of course this is my perspective. Grace and Peace to you.
@@bluevireo425 lt doesn’t help me at all! I already know about the Bible- and that Jesus died that we might believe. But Jesus took on a human nature some 2,000 years ago and was that way for 33 years. He’s noncorporeal now. Therefore I and no one else can have a relationship with Him like they could 2,000 years ago! If I was going to try to attempt to make a conversation with God, He would have to converse with me the way one would with another person- one says something, the other responds immediately. God doesn’t do that! And even if He did, what would He say to me? “Shaddap, Shuttenup! I’m tired of you complaining all the time! I’m sad your life turned out the way it did!” And then just turn and walk away? That’s how I picture it! At present I just pray and hope He listens, but that’s all I can do.

A family member was recently diagnosed with autism as an adult. I wish we had known 20 years ago so many things he did make so much more sense to us now
I’m more shocked that there was an image of someone dipping a fry into a shake and that was when he said something about uncommon associations….bro fries and a Wendy’s frosty is where tf it’s at! 😂 That’s all.
Yeah the structures one is definitely a hitter. So many years and depression spewing from not being able to get up and start my day or alternatively, planning something weeks in advance despite my schedule being open.
Spikey skill sets I was good at the weird shit I wanted to be good at skateboarding football and basketball instead I sucked BUT I'm Great at boxing, kickboxing and long distance running 😅 also can't wrap my head around construction contracting but I'll smoke IT work
Hello. I am 24 and just realised that the difficulty in learning and understanding alone without any help might be autism, but no-one saw any sign on me, maybe my dad only who knows me and my mind... I also lose interest in almost all conversations and I focus on interests that I have passion only. Maybe cuz I am broken cuz of university and military mandatories and lack of job and I can't go with my best friends out. All things u said made me feel I am surely autistic
feel the issue is allistic ppl who aren’t disabled can’t understand why you would be disabling yourself victimizing yourself they don’t see disabled ppl as a complete person it’s a similar social construct like race THEIR karma says no bueno nothing we can do really but try and get used to the idea that they may actually never perceive us as people it’s balls #2Spirit #autism
I've gotten to a point where it just makes more sense to me to not be considered as a person, since the way people define "being human / a person" doesn't fit my way of being conscious, alive So yes I think you're right. I don't think our existences will truly be respected, at least I doubt I'll still be alive to see this.
Every now and again when I find myself out in nature, I am reminded that I am just a human being trying to survive like every other animal. Nature is unpredictable yet still logical, cold yet filled with the unbridled emotions of living. And then I come back down to the pits that is society, a never ending game of charades. Forever chasing dreams and their own tails. And understand that hell really is other people. Because I'm not broken or disabled until others deem me so. For all my intelligence a dunce, for all my abilities useless. It takes the person and twists them, more than one person is capable. For what end? To have someone "lesser" to make yourself feel less inferior? Or something more debased that I cannot fathom? It only leads to questions logic cannot answer. We are just people, even if we aren't judged fairly as such. Life isn't fair, WE choose fairness to create it. And that is what makes it so important, and why we learn with one hand and advocate with another. Because I will always have more in common with a high needs nonverbal autistic person than any allistic.
When I feel like I'm getting deaf and blind (both at the same time or just one of it) would this mean I get a shutdown? For context: Being outisde with maybe 9 people, me speaks with one person the other person with each other (multiple groups) and I start to struggle to hear the person I'm talking too. The others are too loud but even I can't hear them.
@@Teyrah I'm autistic, I literally have it. And it's actually common knowledge in the medical field, perhaps not much outside of it or the autistic community. It's different for everyone, I cannot understand talking when there is too much going on around me. It makes my brain either hyper focus on ONE thing, or generally to EVERYTHING around me (and make it hard to hear just one person).
An original question from me: is there any cure for autism/disability if it technology was possible? I'm also autistic and disabled recording artist songwriter rapper singer voiceover commentary actor and podcast hosting in training. Thanks man
When you say “spikey skill sense” do you mean that the ability to keep one’s skills at a consistent output is harder for those with autism? That’s how I took it, as meaning those with autism can encounter periods of inconsistent energy and focus due to overstimulation and other factors
Actually in the middle of getting tested and i have like 4 packets to fill out. I'm getting anxiety over it. Do you or anyone here that have already done it (in the US) have any advice? I do know for a fact i am autistic but i need to go to a specific Dr for it to be "valid" for getting assistance.
I fit these criteria. Add c-ptsd, I feel like I am behind a glass wall watching other humans living life that I never got the rule/play book to.... Loner extrodinaire now just to exist with minimal sensory and social negative stim. Be kind to ourselves. Thank you for bringing so much info to us so we finally feel seen/heard.
The thing is autism has changed. Children are now obviously autistic with more severe cognitive disabilities and sensory issues. Behavioral issues.. if we as adults were that severe as children, there would have been some type of concern of sorts.. maybe the answer would not have been the same, but you get my point. That doesn't mean we weren't diagnosed and are autistic but there is no doubt that autism has evolved into something much more severe.
ive got diagnosed autsim and undiagnosed adhd its a leathal combonation autsim requires control and order ADHD functions in chaos. im independent so I can function on my own but it doesn;t mean the world isn't a very draining place to be in everyday I think noise sensitivy is the worst cause I feel really self concious when my brain automaticlly comands my hands to cover my ears and im in public.
I did a test on line..i know..eye roll. More i just wanted to get a foot in the door and see... had 5 out of 8. 8 was yes. Anything under was neuro diverse... so turns out i have tendencies..
We are all autistic. Just some of us are more autistic than others. In all seriousness, I think that if you're high functioning to the point of being undiagnosed in adulthood. Then you probably are doing more harm than good by labelling yourself with something that carries a social stigma.
Bro, fries dipped in your shake is delicious. Sweet and salty. Crispy and creamy. Hot and cold. That's not an autistic trait. That's just good food pairing.
Personally had an adrenalectomy. Many of my peculiar personality traits were also excised. My metabolism with a proper human diet has returned to normal. Correct your metabolism and your body and mind will thank you. What’s left of my Autism is now a super power. lol
Meh its trendy these days too but seems that audience hasnt found this video yet. As a 24 year old I couldn't toss a rock without hitting three short haired white women my age who say they have autism
Yeah those things like "targeted individuals" and being "gangstalkes" are just delusions and don't really exist. Often goes hand in hand with schizophrenia.
totally agree
I only ever knew I was different until aged 40
when I finally found out and was diagnosed it changed my life for the better as I finally let go of trying to do things I am simply not wired to do!
turned out it was NOT depression alone
it was a lifetime of NOT understanding why I could never connect
A name well chosen.
Completely agree with the sentiment of having the diagnosis change your life for the better. I completely relate to that.
Could you give me insight possibly? I can’t figure out why I can’t connect - your comment makes me hope you have insight why thank you
I want to get diagnosed too but where I live right now might just not work as this isn't the west where autism is now openly recognised (and they might say I'm actually normal). Idk man. It might just be my own fear 😂
You sound like a similar story to myself. No autism diagnosis as I've not taken one..I did get an ADHD diagnosis aged 42 though..I'm now 44

Actually in the middle of getting tested and i have like 4 packets to fill out. I'm getting anxiety over it. Do you or anyone here that have already done it (in the US) have any advice? I do know for a fact i am autistic but i need to go to a specific Dr for it to be "valid" for getting assistance.
I have never got tested but I meet all conditions for it!
What are spiky skill sets?
I fit these criteria. Add c-ptsd, I feel like I am behind a glass wall watching other humans living life that I never got the rule/play book to....
Loner extrodinaire now just to exist with minimal sensory and social negative stim.
Be kind to ourselves.
Thank you for bringing so much info to us so we finally feel seen/heard.
What’s ’spiky skill sets’?
I have all sympthoms(no eye contact , Social isolation and terrible body movement)
My familly have 3 confirmed cases of Autism
Am i Autistic?
Whats Is inusual associations?
The thing is autism has changed. Children are now obviously autistic with more severe cognitive disabilities and sensory issues. Behavioral issues.. if we as adults were that severe as children, there would have been some type of concern of sorts.. maybe the answer would not have been the same, but you get my point. That doesn't mean we weren't diagnosed and are autistic but there is no doubt that autism has evolved into something much more severe.
Yup! 😊
I got diagnosed, but it kinda sucks cause now i just get treated either completely like a baby or so self sufficient that i dont get support
I have the sensory for sure
Adult diagnosis here 🙋🏻♀️ I literally do all of these from the tennis skills down to the dunking chips and popcorn in my ice-cream or milk shake 🤪🤪
“Unusual associations …”? I don’t get it. What’s that one supposed to mean, exactly? 😯❓🤷🏻♀️❓😯
Wow I have like all of these symptoms
Wait i think i missed it.... he said 7 signs and im looking for one thing or a small number of them. But i didn't see the 7 areas or signs! Ugh
ive got diagnosed autsim and undiagnosed adhd its a leathal combonation autsim requires control and order ADHD functions in chaos.
im independent so I can function on my own but it doesn;t mean the world isn't a very draining place to be in everyday
I think noise sensitivy is the worst cause I feel really self concious when my brain automaticlly comands my hands to cover my ears and im in public.
I did a test on line..i know..eye roll. More i just wanted to get a foot in the door and see... had 5 out of 8. 8 was yes. Anything under was neuro diverse... so turns out i have tendencies..
I dip my fries in my thickshake, too 😆
I felt attacked when he dipped the fry in the ice cream... shit fye. Wrong wit this guy?
What are unusual associations, please?
I wish YT may double payments for channels like yours.
This was so vague.
Here’s a question that could be great if you could answer, so if I am suspecting that I have autism, HOW TF DO I ASK MY PARENTS FOR AN ASSESMENT
Spiky skill sets. Can someone please explain?
What does he mean by “social interactions”
Wait, so eating bread rolls with just ketchup is a sign of autism. Cause that’s hilarious for me, almost made my grandma sick once apparently 😂
I'm autistic 😄😎
Nah your misogynistic
Yikes
I am undiagnosed. 2 of my children are Autistic and I have 2 grandchildren that are Autistic. It hard to find someone that test adults where I live.
We are all autistic. Just some of us are more autistic than others.
In all seriousness, I think that if you're high functioning to the point of being undiagnosed in adulthood. Then you probably are doing more harm than good by labelling yourself with something that carries a social stigma.
Isn't it kinda weird to actively look for flaws and disorders in people though?
What the hell does he mean by spiky skillsets???
Fries in ice cream is the most banginest thing ever
Bro, fries dipped in your shake is delicious. Sweet and salty. Crispy and creamy. Hot and cold. That's not an autistic trait. That's just good food pairing.
I might be autistic
“Social interaction”
Super vague 😅
So, the same signs as diagnosed autism then.
She lies about lying and he says he wont be petty then proceeds to be petty haha they are a mess
True ×7.
What????
Normal people are funny
I think the term I would tend to employ as descriptive is "ridiculous".
@@thebarkingsnail Mormons, are like normies 🤩
Stop miss leading people
Personally had an adrenalectomy. Many of my peculiar personality traits were also excised. My metabolism with a proper human diet has returned to normal. Correct your metabolism and your body and mind will thank you. What’s left of my Autism is now a super power. lol
Brah just described every human on earth. 💀💀💀
Or you just have C-PTSD.
Meh its trendy these days too but seems that audience hasnt found this video yet. As a 24 year old I couldn't toss a rock without hitting three short haired white women my age who say they have autism
🩷
Ahhhh
Why does autism sound alot like you are just a targeted individual and being gangstalked?
Yeah those things like "targeted individuals" and being "gangstalkes" are just delusions and don't really exist. Often goes hand in hand with schizophrenia.

Unusual associations? I need a video on this. Is this why my partner likes cheese and chocolate?!
How is everyone on youtube autistic but I never meet anyone autistic in real life?
maybe go outside idk
Because people don't go around telling people...? You do realize that it isn't necessary usually, let alone a good idea due to ableism.
This is the most ridiculous comment ever.
God will always love you and only accept you if you put your salvation in Jesus's sacrifice by the grace of God.💙🙏
Dude if everything is autistic then nothing is autistic. These just describe tons of people
This video feels like clickbait...
Everyone is autistic
Its call being different
