Harry Wells takes part in our 7k for 700k for World Autism Awareness Week
the way i could just watch this and stay chill cause its what i experience anyway (not the visual stuff necessarily but the sounds etc are very accurate) For example, one time I was in London with my mom and we were on the tower bridge and I got so overstimulated by all the people and unfamiliar sights and sounds etc. that I hyperventilated and had a meltdown like the boy in this video. It also happened to me a few other times when i was in public, so I bought these noise cancelling headphones and Ive been a LOT less stressed especially in public
Does they really go blackout?
The noise made me feel so uneasy
This is not autism, I have autism and this is not it. Sorry.
Ok sooo, i started crying and making sounds..... Is dat normal? I felt... Overwhelmed... Like I had a panic attack. I don't even have autisim.
Hafe of it is treu
To bright
I run if it gets that bad
It is autisim to much sound and light sensory over load
She needs to slow down she's making Me anxious.
I have to much light sound alot of people thats what that is
That is autism
The audio I get but a lot of the visual stuff I don’t as an aSD PERSON
Kind of curious what non autistic version of same thing is? For contrast. Cos I want to assess if I'm making it up or not. I mean I feel like that is reality I just block out everything except bit in front to manage it. But could be in head. So contrast would be good so can compare which is closer to how seems to me.
na bru🤣
I think you are confusing it with a LSD trip
Autism isn't a disability you can feel it as a special ability😊
It can cause any number of symptoms but varies. Sometimes I just get light headed and I used to just have to leave. Or feel like I would fall down.
Discomfort… Anxiety… Panic… Overload…
I think this is not an realistic movie on how autistic people see the world, I have it, but i did not see the world exact like the video show it.
It is saddens me to think that thier are people suffering like this, but I hope these are temporary since the latest advancements in ai, and vr I hope someday these techs can isolate the environment so they may no feel the discomfort
Now watch it again wearing all burlap clothing
This is Exaggerated, when I was Younger I did not see things or React like this at All
I wish this lady was taking care of me! YOWZA
Its noise from multiple sources that gets me...ie shopping centres.
With me it's sounds. I hear EVERY sound. I don't know how normal people can't hear them.
Damn that really low fps gameplay hope devs will fix it soon
Why tf that bitch drop her coins and sent me into maximum overdrive
I get burnout and really bad heartburn from sensory overload. I know it's sensory because I feel instantly better leaving the area and can't go back
lovely !!!! 😀😀check out my vids we launched today to promote autism awareness!!
This is relatable to an extent. My ears aren’t as sensitive but decently close. I don’t get overstimulated often. The lighting basically looks the same (especially on bad sensory days).
'Who tf spamming flashbangs?!'
Uh I have autism and this ain’t even remotely true
I get this after about 10+ minutes being in a shopping centre/mall. Feel overstimulated the whole time, I have anxiety as well but i don’t get anxiety when I go shopping. I feel overstimulated, almost feeling drowsy, and then need to rest after I go home. But I don’t have autism or anything else ? Can neurotypical people get this too?
Meaning I generally have anxiety but not in shopping centres so the symptoms are not related to that
I have ASD (autism spectrum disorder)
To be honest this video pissed me off lol. WHY AIN'T YOU FOCUSING ON YO KID HE'S PANICKING
Bruh I was on my phone treating it like it was fnaf
No wonder they love covering their ears😢
this is kinda similar to how my panic attacks feel
I have ASD. I was 8 years old and my father brought me to the Mall of America at a crowded Big Time Rush Concert and I screamed in tears.
Damn, I know feel really bad for my 25 year old autistic brother 😢
This is actually accurate because when I am in a loud or over stimulating place I CANNOT STAND IT ALL, that is why I always pack some sensory items for stimming purposes, if I Didn't however have them in my possession I would have a sensory meltdown. Anyways I hope everybody is having a safe day and keeping bright minds and souls!
Better to get an abortion
I’m calling bullshit on this whole thing it’s an excuse to seem indifferent
Your opinion doesn’t change reality👍
Well, I have autism and I can say with certainty that it's not like that
Same for me. I do think the way we focus on everyone in the video/the increased perception of sound is realistic, at least for me. But I personally don’t experience bright lights and stuff like that or have meltdowns…
I’m guessing they were trying to visually show what the meltdown feels like. Because visually, meltdowns never looked like that.
@ national autism Society. When will you do? A live stream I need to talk you about my autism
I have mild autism and I can say I've never experienced anything like this but empathize with people who do. This looks more terrifying than any sensory meltdown I can personally relate to. I have to say though, that fire alarm was an unpleasant shrill surprise on my headphones
I have diagnosed autism, a 2 on the spectrum, I do not experience this, and I get how hard it can be to explain what it's like but this is not it for me specifically.
1:09 was all it took for a migraine to begin, the thing is, for me, i just have to stop focusing in on what I'm doing thats making noise or distracting me and once thats out of the way i get a migraine due to all the noises and conversations in public. nothing like the rest of this video after a 1:05 seconds was. As I'm better at controlling it however. I will never be coming back, but 7 years later and this video is going to be one of my rare liked ones
I can say this is not what autism looks like!this is probably sensory overload disorder some autistic people have it like me but some not
This is what autism CAN look like. The description states this can be the case for SOME people with autism. Meaning not EVERYONE.
