Autism is growing so fast in America not because there are more autistic people than before, but because doctors now consider many more symptoms in their diagnosis for autism.
+Crimson Koba yup, indeed...* chugs tea instead of slurps/sips it.....
+Crimson Koba Exactly, my oldest brother didn't get diagnosed until he was 4 unlike my other brother who has a different type of autism he got diagnosed at 2
Mia Osores Mascco Excuse me for asking, but what do you mean? Was one diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome?
Chaos89P Yeah
+Chaos89P A lot are
Autism is not rising, but Autism diagnoses are because the criteria for diagnosing Autism is expanding.
It is also rising because of all the industrial chemicals we absorb (food, air, toys...).
Anthony j. It’s just a theory
Electronics also play a role. Kids that are exposed to electronics more than they should they could develop some of the symptoms, and if they already have autism it will definitely worsen.
Um Yusef E I feel it's more that autistic kids use electronics more as it allows them to immerse themselves in something and avoid sensory overload.
And it is becoming easier to diagnose autism, history is probably full of a lot of autistic people labeled as outcasts because people thought they were just weird
I have autism and I hate how the Internet makes it an offense
I am strong and proud
me too!
are you proud of the label the doctor gave you, so it was easier to put you into a box?
You should be prove of your self no matter the fucking label. tis after all only a stupid label.
i always finde it rather fun how it became a insult. the internet is not for soft people so its good you are stronger other wise you would nto belong on the internet. its a rather toxic place
Same!
Same
I’ll say
I cried watching this because I have autism and I can relate so much
I cried because thinking that I'm not the only one suffering from this
Life feels hard and everyday is a struggle
But watching this, I can close my eyes and think I'm not alone
@Awkweird I feel so happy to know I'm not the only person
I'm an autistic girl, and whenever I tell someone I'm autistic they legitimately say "I thought only boys get that?" Even my guidance counselor said that, which is really telling of how little people know about autism. We're not all Rain Mains and Forrest Gumps. (though I do love those movies)
leescott595 Believe it or not, you're the second person this month to tell me to kill myself on the internet. Perhaps it's a sign?
I haven't had suicidal thoughts for about six months now. I'm in a much better place now, and I hope you all get better too. Name calling and telling people to commit suicide shows lack of emotional empathy, but I hope you'll all become better people one day.
+leescott595 You've used that crap comeback multiple times here. Pick up a book.
Nothing will cause you to lose faith in humanity faster than the CZcams comments section. I have no idea how people can act like that and not feel guilty about it.
Okay now it's completely obvious you're trolling.
i hate how stereotyped it is
My Op!n!on Music it really isn’t
@Teag Brohman GDC ye

callumisagamer ' it is a very toxic chemical
TheAutistic Tomboy THANK YOU! I am in fact autistic myself and this warms my heart
Yes, I do suffer from autism. That's why I said it in the first place.
Barbarian Mage Because I have found a cure for it. All autistic people do is brag and whine. They are sensitive to loud noises and easily gets triggered from a simple negative comment. Either ways, high ends of the spectrum are controllable while low ends aren't. That's my point.
Yes, and I do feel really bad. But Jake Woods, you're comparing something thats literally a virus to a mental disorder, or at least thats how i look at it. So no, that statement doesn't make sense.
I hate bullies who bully autistic kids
+Reinventinater Ayy, you know what he meant.
+Free Energy Technologies no it's not...... Measles is a disease not autism.
+Free Energy Technologies That doesn't change anything, autism isn't a disease, it's a condition. It's really hard to understand what you're writing with such grammar.
+Free Energy Technologies it makes our personality so many like I never want a cure
I shouldn't like bullies period. Nothing against autistic people but a wide variety of people get bullied
Luckily my Autism is so high functioned you wouldn't even noticed I had it if you met me.
+Andrew Ryan same here
I'm kinda he same way. No one while I was in High School even noticed until I mentioned it. The worst part, I've heard "that is so autistic" literately behind my back while I was still there. Thank god it isn't tolerated as much anymore, otherwise these kids will be asking for trouble!
+Andrew Ryan yeah
same
+Andrew Ryan You mean you can live as a normal person without it but you have? I'm intrested because i have low Autism. Very low. I am making much thing today as normal people "can" even that i have Autism i can make big things then.
My little brother has Autism. He's amazing anyway!
+leescott595 holy fucking shit you're rude
+leescott595 there is a speical place in hell for people like you
+leescott595 go to hell you piece of shit
I would pay to put leescott595 into a tiger maze.
+leescott595 GTFO!
I have high-functioning autism and I'm OK with having it but it affects my sociality.
Same here it's fine
The only people with autism that arent fine with it are the ones that make a big thing about it
bretert Fuck off
Mr. Bleach i got that too
so did Chris Chan...i'm just putting that out there.
Okay. Im autistic, I don't play minecraft, I don't have a fidget spinner, I don't screech, I'm not bipolar, and I can function in society normally.
#fuckyourstereotypes
#fuckyourstereotypes except for the Minecraft one
Loachspider there is a large spectrum in the video it's only the most serious case that are show
SCP-087 Yeah but to prevent people from thinking autists are bad then they shouldn’t just show the disabled autists they should also show the normal ones
Loachspider i don't think there is such thing ad "normal" but they should show that you are not completely disabled if you have autism,you can be totally fine with it and live normaly lot of people tou can't even tell they have autism when you talk to them
SCP-087 are you saying autists can’t be normal?
I have autism, and I'm sensitive.
But that dosen't make me what you internet people call "retarded".
I mean that's what I hate about the Internet, The negativity. Freedom of speech, I know.
It's a good thing to say your feelings about it. I am very sensitive too, and I am not good at social life. I don't take much of this as negativity, but #1 does make me a little frustrated.
Also note: autism kids can act like regular kids. I'm autistic and if you talk shit I'm talking shit too.
Stay strong bro
Thanks
This a is an actual sickness and mental disorder. We're not wasting anyone's money. We're worth more then those people taking government Money and ducking it off
+Malachi Owens one time in art class, one of the kids asked why i was so distant and always getting A's in the class and creative, and so on and so on ........like a stalker......she was probably jealous of my grades.... so instead of sugarcoating it and just said " i have autism" to put it shortly....I seriously didn't want to talk to her because i was working, and she was clearly bothering me( but at the same time i was hardwired by my family to be polite to normies, in an attempt to be normal....whatever that meant....)
-she said the most retarded thing
-" you have autism?---but you seem so normal......"
that's the most common response i get every time i mention it,WTF how am i suppose to look/act when i have autism, like the lower functioning side of the umbrella that you stereotype us with? normies get the fucking hint, and do your research, and stop bothering us when we're clearly busy and DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU....
+leescott595 You must a happy individual for you to actually throw insults to people with mental disorders.
#6: The Internet uses it as an insult.
Sadly
All the people who doesn't care
I think an interesting fact about autistic people is that they can be very intelligent. Also, I'm autistic as well.
I have Autism. And you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm not even sure it qualifies as a disability - just a different wiring of the brain.
agreed.
Agreed as Well
Sometimes it qualifies as a disability bc it affects your life a lot but it isn’t bad
@marianne mccrank When it comes to high-functioning autism, it depends. It can certainly affect social skills, whether it be talking too much about specific subjects, difficulty reading social cues, or having a hard time getting metaphors or sarcasm. I'm somewhere between high and mid functioning and I know that my life would certainly be a lot different if I wasn't on the spectrum. My IQ is around average, but I not only stim A LOT, but I do have a tendency to hit myself sometimes when I'm angry and while I'm usually a nice person, I have difficulty being emotionally mature, often getting down on myself for things that really aren't that big a deal. On the flip side, I have very extensive knowledge on my interests which actually has come in handy before and being autistic has contributed to my imagination which I like to channel when writing short stories, especially surreal and lovecraftian stories. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, autism has it's ups and downs, though some definitely have it worse than others. I suppose whether or not high-functioning can be considered disabled really depends on perspective.
It's a different ability. I speak as a severely disabled woman myself
I didn't take special education. I stayed at a normal school all the way.
I have special ed :)
+Skyguy LP Same here, I made some friends so far :)
Skyguy LP Some of my dumbass teacher thought I had autisms and I had to spend my first year, MY FIRST YEAR AND FIRST SEMESTER IN A SPECIAL-ED CLASS AND I FUCKING HATED IT!!
I never felt so humiliated in my entire life!!!
I have nothing against people with Autism, but to me I never saw school the same way ever again
TheRapper10000
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT.
***** That's kinda Rasict
I really wish I didn't have autism so I wasn't awkward in public...
I like my own comments
+Jex Anims- Roblox And More Although autism doesn't majorly impact my body and education for me, it mostly affects the way I think. My mind tells me that secretly everyone hates me, even though I KNOW they don't. It sucks.
+Anony the 948,206,554th i have it to pal it doaent bother me the only promles is wane peolpe dont shut de fuck up or loud ass noises
Hey, don't beat yourself up like that! Autism is perfectly fine to have, it's okay! It's not a disease, it's a disorder. It's just jerks like WatchMojo that treat it like a bad thing. I'm high on the spectrum, myself. I'm awkward, too, but that's alright. Just remember; YOU. ARE. PERFECT. Got it?
Dork Princess is it autism if you choose to act like how you do? Many people consider me that as I act a certain way unlike them.
Cerul Aster I feel you
It's sad that there are people who think autistics are stupid or retarded. And yet I'm autistic and I got 29/36 on the ACT with a writing score of 10/12, I graduated this year at the age of 17, and I move into college this Thursday. On top of it, I have a friend in my grade on the spectrum who took enough college classes to be the first one to graduate from our high school with an Associates Degree. And now she's going to be going into college as a junior.
-drops mic.-
+fearless dryan I'm autistic too, I can describe, it's like being in a different world, when you're in the mall for example, things as little as noises can hurt, then eventually the pain is so real, that your brain is like "NOPE, I'M OUT" and you meltdown, now obviously, that's the bad side, the good side is that you think differently, you can enjoy more, who cares if you look odd when you're excited, stim away, you'll enjoy more, and basically, that's the short version of autism
epic troll thanks for the information good thing it has a positive side too
Shabba Ranks good for you go have a fucking wonderful day and have a comp with MDH
Shabba Ranks i'm vegan.
Lydia Bodnar I'm not autistic and I don't think anyone with any kind of condition should be called stupid and you are clearly not if you have them grades this proves that the people saying these things are wrong so you go girl!

Autism is not a disease.... IT'S A SUPERPOWER 👊🏼✊🏼💪🏼😆😆😆😄😄😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💥💥💥
It's not even a disease to begin with!
I'm guessing the world decided to have autistic people cause the others were destroying the earth! Go SuperAutistics!!!!
RoseBookFan#7 so we're mutants like x-men??
HAHAHA, good one bro.(le meme) I'll save you. AUTISTIC POWERS ACTIVATE!
THAT was childish, so sorry if this message offends you.
Rohan Zener you're really so ignorant it's sad
Autism, as they called it, is just a different way of learning and dealing with the world around them. We think its strange, and called it a mental illness. Thus, we now have Autism.
My grandson has autism
For some reason with me he can play up a little.
I talk to him. Take his mind off the reason he is starting to get angry
Kids with autism get angry.
They need more input
I no he can remember any place he has been
He loves music
If you have an autistic kid
Watch what makes them shine
Music maps drawing maths
They will be the top of the class
I wish teachers in schools would instead of thinking they are the pain in the class
Also stop sending them to special schools
Learn how to deal with these kids needs
Find their talent and watch them shine
If an autistic child is getting angry in situations a neurotypical child wouldn't, it's most likely an external factor. Either something is happening that is causing the autistic child stress/frustration (such as a lot of background noise, or a noise is too loud) or the child is taking too literal an interpretation on something that a neurotypical child would see as not meant to cause offence. Taking his mind off it is good, but it's also worth asking when he's calm if he can explain what upset him so you can prevent it from happening again. Make it clear that you don't know what did it and you need his help to understand :-)
I have Autism.
Got diagnosed at the age of 7, had special education untill the age of 16. Now I'm back at a 'normal' school, and most people don't even notice I have Autism.
And I'm not anti-social at all, in fact, I'm very social. Wanting to meet all kinds of people, wanting to help them and be curious and kind to them.
I lose myself in my passions and get bored very fast if I do something that I do not like. I'm a creative thinker and most people say that I have to publish those ideas.
I want to become a Creative Director and that's what I'm working for, achieving my dream.
And by the way, the kindest and most passionate people I know...they have Autism. So really, if you are a shithead...and using Autism as an insult...watch out for those people, because you will eventually meet them as your boss. With developed social skills and all.
And I think it is a mutation.
Wow. That sounds like my story.
I know this comment is 5 years old but I really relate to you a lot even though I have trouble communicating and have bad social skills I still wana meet new people I just wish autism awareness month was celebrated in schools to teach others about autism and to make kids with it feel like they fit in and I also hate it when people you autism as a insult or call random people a r*****
Im autistic and my IQ is higher than everyone else in my class.
Sams
Same
Such a liar go take a test to a Real psychiatrist and test your iq compared to normal people
hey whats up dude _ excuse me Albert Einstein was autistic and he was super smart
@@Jsaint07 ok sure mr. No grammar
The most interesting thing anout this video, is how cruel you make the number one point out to be. You think those with autism are burdens on their families.
They & their parents don't suffer.
Alex Lozada
I autistic i am just like you we are both normal
I am very offended that you would think such a thing not all autistic children can't read and write or can't to all the Basic things.
***** Agreed.
W H I'm autistic and in college, I've found many true friends. And if I don't get a lover because I'm autistic, then it's not worth shit for me to try because they're not worth my time.
"Be who you are and say what you feel. Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter."
-Dr. Seuss.
its true
"horse's are good emotional therapy for autism"
So thats why so many men watch my little pony.
I have autism and that made me laugh
Lol
SHUT UP!!!
+Mr Zilla calm down
+Mr Zilla heh?
I woulda fuckin died if #1 was "Everybody on the internet has it". That would have made my day.
This comment made my day!
It's hard to empathise when you're "just writting stuff" in a screen
Lol ikr
LOOOOOL
+Ethan Ninness oh mr moral man has arrived.
I have autism, and I'm a trucker
Elijah Murray thats a good job and it pays alot
I have autism and I don't understand why people think it's a BAD
Thing.
Because humans are just garbage
+MrTagnan ok then
Communication issues. That's the one thing I hate about being on the spectrum.
The social isolation
Knowing that you are more qualified for and are able to do the jobs you apply for at least as well as any other candidate and never getting past the interview
the bullying
the regular misunderstanding what people are saying
getting sensory overloads
the anxiety surrounding even the most banal activities
having a socially acceptable mask so great that even your family don't understand why whenever you are trying to excuse yourself before you have a public meltdown
having your parents love your social acceptability mask more than you
there are many, many reasons why being even mildly autistic sucks
charimonfanboy, So true! I can relate
Sesame Street taught me how to do math. Theyre the best.
Btw that thing about Donald Trump trying to be President better be a joke, really tho. Watch the south park episode on it. Its not funny anymore, idont want donald hairpiece duck to buy himself the win because he got to the end.
I didn't watch it when I was little that I know of
+lance1499 HAHAHA damn thats good
+lance1499 haha
did they teach u how to spell
My god the comments on this video will be horrible
Amazingly horrible you mean.
+Sam Fields actually they're all right, just as bunch of people saying there autistic and sharing they're story.
They already are.
I hope the uploader will disable it
I was born with autism, but I was also found to have an IQ of about 160, making me one of the smartest people alive currently.
??? ??? Hmmmmm I have autism and my IQ is like 4😂
I've got autism and people say I'm gonna do well cause I'm *smart* apparently
All my friends get better grades but when I came out with a F and a C in my PPEs in year 8, they said it was terrific and they had not gotten such good grades! I thought they were better than ME in all subjects but I emerge in my Maths, Science and Drama. I hear that autistic people are good
At those subjects
Yea
Dean The Soviet You're a bit off. Autism in any shape, form, or fashion doesn't make you stupid. The true definition of Autism is having communication and speech problems; repetitive behaviors and sensitivity may follow, it doesn't effect your IQ. But you're kinda right with the Asperger's syndrome, though, but the others on the spectrum have their own unique type of intelligence.
A L So is that how you got good grades?
Wtf is with all the hate in the comments towards people with autism?? The hell happened to the Internet??
+Gabriel Mendez You must be new. The internet has been this way since the beginning. If you're so easily "triggered" or "offended" that other people have the right to have their own opinions, no matter how "fucked up" you may think it is, then you might just want to stay off the internet altogether. The thing about freedom of speech is that it goes both ways. People are free to think and say what they want to. If you don't like it, then the internet is not a place you should be. And instead of feeding the "trolls" like you did, you may just want to ignore it so they don't have more fuel to add to their fire. Most people that post hateful comments want a reaction like yours and so many other of the comments on this video. When they know they get under your skin, they win. Just a little advice.
+shadowboxin420 And with free speech comes free judgement. If you hate autistics and want them dead. I have every right to hate you and see you as inferior to me. And I would be right. Now that may not be true but I'm free to say that.
+shadowboxin420 I'm not new to the Internet dumbass, I know how people can be on here, I'm just surprised they are being this way towards a disability
Drbazooka Yup, if that's how you want to think then go for it. I won't lose sleep over it. And I have nothing against autistic people, by the way. Was just trying to make a point, as there are way too many overly sensitive babies that think everything should be PC and want censorship when it works for them and only when it works for them.
+shadowboxin420 you are right about people being too sensitive and all but that doesn't make it right. You pretty much just said its okay for people to cyber bully and tell other people to kill themselves
i cried at this. I am 16 years old, & I've been diagnosed with Autism since I was 3. I also have PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder), concurrent ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) & probable comorbid speech & language processing disorder, which has an impact on learning. I frequently exhibit symptoms of inattention & distractibility. Finally, I also suffer from anxiety, which is worse because I'm a teenager. I lack social skills, despite that I do have some friends, & I often hide myself in my room doing either CZcams, Twitter (@TeresaKinsley), or drawing & creative writing. It's not too affective because of my high-ish IQ, & I honestly don't know what my IQ is. Growing up, I always wanted to work with the arts & film, being well-known by many instead of just my family & some friends at school. Of course I decided to go to college, & I choose not to do drugs/alcohol &/or sex, despite all girls my age probably do.
What did inspire me the most in this video was 4, the horseback riding fact. When I was little, I used to go horseback riding (the horse's name is CJ), & boy do I love it. Now that I've seen this, it makes me think of going horseback riding again; you know, something fun to do instead of playing Xbox all day.
I know that I should "keep trying" & "not take no shit from nobody," but I wanna do more than that. I want people to know me more. I want to join the nerds in Comic-Con, I wanna be known as the Hiddlestoner (fangirl of British actor Tom Hiddleston) of the school's stage crew, I wanna help others who are diagnosed with autism, & I wanna spread my creative ideas to the world & make Hollywood smart again (jk). Most of all, I want people all to know who I am: what I've suffered, & what I loved & cry about. Technically, I need attention, but at least a million people to say that they care about me & not make autism overlooked.

I'm sorry... (hopefully this reply will buffer the incoming blow of hate and ignorance...)
I ain't reading allat
I'm thinking of making a club called A.U.T.I.S.M. (Attractive Unbeatable Terrific Ingenious Skillful Masterminds)
Sign me up
I like it. Where does the meeting begin and when?
@Braydon The Gorilla well I like this comment.
I'm in.
Arcader1994 I love the creativity in this acronym!
Another fact is that we hear everything
TheUndeadNightmare
I can hear u typing
I can hear my classmates inner voice. They're thinking about how awesome the logang is, I hate my classmates
Especially when I’m in an exam.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IM IN AN EXAM.
These comments make me lose my hope in humanity...
Time to start a flame war:
Bronies are not autistic. Sonic fans are not autistic. FNAF fans are not autistic. Steven Universe fans are not autistic. Furries are not autistic.
*waits*
You don't know how long I've wanted to hear those words.
+diddy kong pointing at an unknown object with his hat on backwards its been a whole month wheres the flame war
+diddy kong pointing at an unknown object with his hat on backwards "2 months later..."
Only 4 comments?! I'm disappointed in you CZcams.
+diddy kong pointing at an unknown object with his hat on backwards No, they're assholes
lol
+UnderA Most members from the fanbases are assholes,yeah.
"What did we leave out" Our humanity, maybe?
Going into this I was already Annoyed because they described it as a disability. Yes in some cases it is a disability but for many it is a gift just look at Steve jobs
Kyle .thomas Steve Jobs wasn't autistic. He was a half breed Arab vegan with no friends. Steve Wozniak on the other hand is on the autistic spectrum.
so was bill gates
and albert einstein.
Armydillo 101 Autism is the inability to be social, have poor communication skills and have repetitive behavior. Bill Gates is not on the spectrum at all. He just have poor personal hygiene.
***** ????
It's not a gift to be disabled I'm dyslexic but I don't use it as an excuse the gift is that you work hard to be smart
This is the earliest I've ever been to your videos
my mom works with children with autism
You're mom is great
+Dyllon Redmon that explains alot
+Kim Jong-un SAVAGE
+Kim Jong-un mustve worked hard for that name
+Dyllon Redmon YES.
i have aspergers and i am not bothered about horses
Same.
Okay this actually hurts. I actually feel like my disorder is being made fun of by the video
Thanks for autism, I am the most popular kid in school. The girls always calling me and the boys always make fun of me because they are jealous.
I feel bad for you...
that not the wrong thing to say
+Sloth from The Goonies Shut up please 🙂
MrTagnan Nah, I'm too busy earning a living, making friends, having sex, etc. Although if you enjoy counting numbers in your bedroom go for it!
MrTagnan Are they internet friends?
Thanks for informing your viewers on all of these conditions! That will keep the level of ignorance down! :)
According to some research, Autism is caused by too many connections in the brain and abnormally reduced ability of the brain to destroy brain connections...Electrical impulses just lose themselves in the many paths and that leads to various problems such as the inability to stay focused. An overconnected brain can also lead to 'extraordinary gifts'...It is also interesting that Creative people have more than average brain connections, but only in the region between the left and right side of the brain.
This what I hate about autism, GIRLS get diagnosed as bipolar a lot of the time before being diagnosed with Autism, My biological mother had Fragile X and autism, :I so I guessing I got it from her. So since I don't have fragile X I am a carrier, but my symptoms overlap with bipolar #2 and autism, I grew out of most of my symptoms except social awkward. :(
Oh Damn! 😑
I'm socially awkward and I don't have autism.
North Dakota Security Force III%
THAT awkwardness is more and more intense.
That's no where near the truth. I was diagnosed at 12 with Autism. No one has ever told me I have Bi Polar and no one has confused me with it. I mean no harm in this comment. But you just might really might be Bi Polar. I'm saying this because I didnt walk in the doctor and be like No your wrong I have Autism! I accepted what they gave me because I didn't want to have this disability to begin with. Bi-Polar sydrome and Autism are no where near the same. And people saying this in the comments are no help to our community. Being diagnosed with Autism is NOT something you can self diagnose yourself as! This cause more confusion! If you a doctor told you that you have back pains you don't say "no I have cancer because my mom say xxxx. You only said that because I'm a woman right!?!?!?!" If you do have Autism spectrum disorder then I'm sorry that happened to you but please do not say women don't have Autism because this could really hurt other people's understanding of Autism and we do not need people self diagnosing themselves because this hurt the studies.
My older bro and best friend bother have autism, and they both have some of the most creative and kind minds I know.
+Mareldmon 590 :)
To me,asperger is a gift.
BaekChen Chocolate
Same
I feel proud of it
Yeah, my mother makes sure my brother and I view our autism (mine is basically Asperger’s but I was diagnosed after the terms were changed) as a gift.
autism isn't a bad thing. it shouldn't be called a disorder. autism has always existed and it's a natural part of human diversity.
Rishav Banerjee Autism can definitely be a bad thing. Some can't do anything for themselves and many have an IQ lower than 70, making them intellectually disabled.
a lot of those people still do live happy lives and many of them are deceptively smart. look up Amy sequenzia who is non speaking and was assumed to have low iq
also.... iq tests aren't always an accurate measurement of intelligence.
For me I'd say it's a bad thing. It prevents me from keeping employment and having normal relationships.
I'm also unlucky enough to not be mentally impaired so I'm smart enough to realize how miserable I am.
So yeah, not really a good thing.
tyler burns that's a fault of society not understanding autistic people, not autism.
I am autistic and not every autistic kid is mentally retarded. We all have social problems though. I was blessed with music and it's something that is close to me in life. I play the piano and I have a great tenor voice. I have so much ahead of me and I don't let my autism stop me from not achieving my goals.

+Andreas Hallstensson So my whole life is fake? I don't exist? Sorry but you're a really terrible troll I can't take you seriously at all.
Andreas Hallstensson you posted the autism is fake thing on a bunch of other comments too. Sorry but go back to the university that taught you how to be an internet troll so that you should know that almost every troll uses autism as an insult and now using it like that is not evil it just makes you look like a dumbass on the internet.
Thank god I am not that crazy like other kids with autsium I mean it sucks for me having but at least I don't have that bad
+yousef abd same here bro
I'm a psychopath
+Kush Gohil lovely
Please don't use the word crazy
+yousef abd Indeed my friend
So here's the thing I'm autisic and people say we all r sensitive and don't like load noise well here's the thing I have it and listen to hardstyle and all that and we're all different we don't all have the same symptoms
Thanks for doing this watch mojo
did you know it is said that people with autism have a higher iq than kids that don't
MattC 92 not all kids on the spectrum do that's a bit of a stereotype.
MattC 92 I wouldn't necessarily say that. There are some stereotypically genius autistic kids. There are also autistics that are geniuses at certain subjects or their special interests.
no because autism can not determine your well educated or not
MattC 92 yep that's true but not all but over all autistic people are just really intelligent and creative
so people do but some have less personally I have higher
My female friend has autism and wasn't diagnosed until age 12. The diagnosis helped her cope with her symptoms much better.
i hope you dont still have that midn set now.
i was diagnosed when i was 3 and only found out when i was 15..
It's funny when people with a lot of ignorance express the idea that Autistic individuals such as my father, are retarded and yet my father has been a surgeon for 22 years and to this day, has saved lives...
.....He has become a great father, both disciplinary and intellectually.
And he also went to College for the full extent of 9 years, whilst raising my older brother and I, as well as our mother. All while studying to become the very thing he has dreamt of wanting to achieve.
He had it all at the age of 28, and for the past 22 years, he has always put the responsibility of raising my brother and myself, and is the most impeccable inspiration I can think of. Every time.
So, no matter what the results may be, considering the amount of insults that portray Autistic people, My father will always be above any of you haters and YOU haters know it and have to accept it, because it's illogical and ridiculous to think otherwise, considering the successful position he is in, and behind the computer screens where you are. :)
Disclaimer: Any insults and counter arguments are welcome, because your insults and counter arguments don't matter. :)
I love you guys and thx for making this
#5 yes so true! My little brother was diagnosed years ago at maybe 6 or 7, I wasn’t diagnosed until May at 14. To be fair, I’m also higher functioning, but being a girl on the spectrum can be tough sometimes.
#1 ITS NOT CONSIDERED A FUCKING INSULT
*it isn't supposed to be an insult, but ignorance and lack of empathy will prevail
+Myles Alexander tell me about it, bro
I couldn't have said it better myself.
+Myles Alexander thank you good sir for saying what we have all been thinking, half of my family has autism my 2 brothers have it, 1 of my sisters has it and I have it. I also have a story so this year me and my family went to LEGOLAND and we got the special passes so we could get on the rides quicker so we went on one ride and my dad heard someone say and i quote "fucking autistic children" we are in 2015 and people are still using it as an insult WHY, listen to sesame street yall
and you have a minecraft avatar. what a surprise.
There is a theory that some of history's greatest geniuses had a form of autism (Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, etc).
I was diagnosed even before I can remember, my entire life was filled with doctors, therapists, medication, and even schools.. trying to help me with my anger outbursts, my problem with socializing.. I was kicked out of school in 7th grade and went to 3 different day treatment schools. I finally made it back into school in 10th grade. I graduated with honors of may 2017 with the help of special ed. but even to this day I have trouble with socializing. constantly trying to figure out appropriet conversation, when to say it, how to say it.. so many times people have told me that what I said was innapropriet ,and I cant understand why. ppl ask me why I cant "just calm down" ,and they don't understand but I cant figure out our understand how they can have such control. ..I don't understand at all, and I don't like it ...it just goes over and over again into my head .contstantly
That was me but instead of being in special ed, I was on Independent study for 2 and a half years in high school for Asperger's and recovering from spinal fusion surgery.
Autism isn't growing. People are just more aware of it, and get diagnosed earlier
Hey yo it's time for a flame war
leescott?
+CodenameCometPop who?
+triforceofcourage100 Look under every comment of someone saying they or a relative has autism and you will see him
+Trent Crane i was personally talking about the vaccine thing
+triforceofcourage100 So......sarcasm or............ did you actually not know?
Why on the Internet I see so many people who claim to have something like a disease or disorder when they don't and just want to either get sympathy or to start a conversation.
+William Parker-Rivera
So true. I notice it particularly with transgenders. Every time there's a video about it, suddenly half the people in the comment section are transgender.
+William Parker-Rivera I mean we really have no way of knowing though
Some of us really do and like sharing. Autism is extremely common, so it doesn't surprise me to see so many people here saying they have it.
i feel like they are normal human's just like us and you should not bully people for being different. because i have anger issue's and imagine if you had something like this you don't want to be treated like this and i don't eiather dont bully them there normal humans :)
my brother have autism and some times i just cry because i mean i love my brother why don't i have autism instead of my brother and why he has to live like that? i ask my self every day
Same my brother has it too, and I just wonder what goes on inside his little head but I love him and wouldn't change him
I have high functioning autism (aspergers) so i might be able to "translate"
+MrTagnan same
It’s not a burden he’s probably happy he has it
I suffer from autism to and I feel bad for my parents spending so much money
Even having children in general can be very expensive to care
How is it that Autism costs a lot more? is it because of therapy and medicine?
therapy. except that the main therapy for autism is aba which is basically like gay conversion therapy but for autistics. it's abusive and shouldn't be used
Rohan, I'm afraid I must ask you to defend your claim with literary examples and quotes to believe your answer. So please proceed.
Rohan, thank you for your feedback and examples. Instead of attacking you with my beliefs of your old-fashioned extremism, which I know that you will never listen to, instead I will simply say "Then you can't see it my way no matter what. Please never speak to me again!" So long and good night!
***** True true. It is sad but sanctions are better than conflict.
Any average person wouldn't want someone to commit suicide over rightfully hating autistics.
Glad you try and share some facts about autism i have aspergers syndrome a form of autism. I hope for a day when people stop seeing whats different about me and start seeing where i am the same or even special in a good way. For example im 36 now i have only one child by blood but after my ex died i learned she had a daughter who her dad rejected and wont even buy her bday or christmas gifts. I felt this was wrong three years ago and i always follow how i feel about things. So i started buying her bday and christmas gifts like i do with my son from my disability income. If i can afford to after bills and rent. Some of us autistic people are very warm and caring individuals unlike how tv shows us off.
I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers at 19 years old . I have been dealing with this disorder for 19 years . I knew I was different than the rest of my peers..I felt more mature than them and it was difficult for me to make friends as I rarely had any but I turned my disorder into a value now
30%- fnaf,mlp,furries are autistic
45%- I have autism
5%- my friend/family member has it
20%- other
So true
+ViTaL says the person who can't respect others peoples opinions.
+bonnie bunny Don't forget he's a satanist. (Look at his profile picture)
I have autism
same, just wish people can understand that we're a lot smarter than a majority of the world.
Eh, as a person with Autism myself I don't think so. Yes, we are more likely to have higher than average intelligence but to say we're smarter than a majority of the world is a bit puffed-up and elitist don't you think?
only aspergers can't be belove average intelligence. the rest of you can be below average.
if a person with below average IQ is asperger he was misplaced in that label by the doctor.
but above average iq dont mean you are any smarter the rest of the sheep.
And finally, about horses, I did horseback riding, and it actually helped me. Thx for adding that in there WatchMojo
This sheds a sort of positive light on autism. Props to you guys. Having type one, the type with little to no effect on you, autism, I'm still afraid to tell people I have aspergers because I'm scared they'll treat me differently. People like that DO exist. The type that treat autistics as "freaks" with no maturity. It makes me sad to know this, and I remember crying myself to sleep thinking," Why can't I just be normal? Why do I feel like a freak? Why do people treat me like this for reasons not in my control?" You don't ask to be autistic. It's just something that's there. Thank you for letting others know that autism is not a disability, it's another state of mind. 😌 You guys are wonderful people!
I have autism and I get alot of hate for it :( I dont like it
Aw don't feel bad the humans are garbage in general
Same here! I even got heartbroken once! I just wished teen life would fit me! :(
Tooty Scelenberger No, it's not.
then flib them teh bird and ask them to fuck off nicely. no one said we need to make friends with everyone.
Kayne
You and me both
thanks for showing extreme cases of autism as the default i have autism and i don't have a tick i don't talk strange and i don't have emotional outbreaks thanks for making me look like i am abnormal because by what u showed i will have some sort of view-able sign. guess what the is no way to tell i actually have it without tests not all people with autism have some form of problem that u can spot mine is more on the social side of thing i can not read emotion i dont have empathy for others i can not express emotion tell me how that is anything like what these people had ?
Same but not this I learned I had ADHD from research on my own and I heard my mom say I had a math disability and I take guidance since 4th grade
+cerberus189 sounds more like you are a sociopath or something else, forgot the name... anyways, it's not that bad, and i just remembered what they are called, psychopaths i think... no, i don't think that's it... anyways, if you have it you can still live normally
I’m on the Autism spectrum and I think this video is very good for people who don’t really understand it
This is really helpful as a Student(Psychiatric Nursing).. Keep it up👍
i have autism and autism has nothing to do with infection. what Trump says about autism is wrong. having autism make you different in a good way
Im afraid to look at the comments in this video....
And you're right, but there's a bit of shine
Thank you for this video. I'm autistic and this is awesome. Thank you !
I wouldn't describe Autism as a "disability" i would call it more of an advantage. My autism has given me the ability to learn about computers so much that i'm only 14 snd i can build one. Autistic people tend to focus their attention to one a couple of subjects and excel in them rather than having a pretty moderate skills in a lot of subjects.
I have autism but it's difficult for me because it's not obvious but I still have it and it affects me
Tatianna antone same
A few aspects of this video need to be corrected:
1. The whole idea that Autism rates are increasing is ridiculous. The perceived increase is due to a change in diagnostic standards, not a change in the actual ratio of Autistic people to non-Autistic people.
2. Framing Autistic traits in terms of "severity" or "functioning levels" is both useless and ableist. No one is "mildly Autistic" or "severely Autistic," you either are Autistic or you aren't.
3. Not all Autistics think in pictures. While some of us do think in pictures more than words others of us think in words and struggle to form mental pictures. There is a whole range of ways in which different Autistic people can think.
4. The most likely cause of Autism is genetics. No one has proved that any sort of environmental factors can cause Autism, leaving genetics as the most likely candidate for what really causes Autism.
5. Autism is no more costly than any other neurotype. The reason Autism is viewed as such a costly disability is because parents feel the need to "fix" their Autistic children and thus seek out expensive "therapies" such as ABA which are often abusive and unhelpful. If society was set up to accommodate the needs of Autistic people then the costs associated with Autism would drop drastically.
Bum 2 is true to a point I have a form of height functioning autism (aspergers)
I don't think the functioning levels are very ableist. I have Autism, and the functioning levels of high and low are simply used to distinguish the ones whom it affects in more or less noticeable ways.
Brendan Philbrick Those labels create a stigma, as they assume intelligence. I suggest we use support labels instead. It can be used in multiple areas of your life.
High Support means you need quite a bit of help with a task.
Mid Support means you may need some help with a task, but not as much.
and Low Support means you can usually do this task on your own or with very little help.
@@ladielydkyd1281 my son with severe ASD diagnosed as the 1 percent in need of most care cannot survive on his own for one half hour while me and my level 1 son both of us are on level one we can get on without significant support although it is needed it is nowhere close to his (elder who cannot eat no physical reason just cannot figure out the steps in order or focus drink water change himself collapses runs into oncoming traffic etc). Thus the levels help discern and he gets the extra support he would very literally die without and the distinguishing level allows him access to those extremely expensive services without which he would not even theoretically but definitely be dead or hospitalized. On Twitter I tried to explain it to other ASD ppl who can you know read write and know how to order their thoughts well enough to structure sentence s and they were so ignorany some literally said well my parents taught me that means u are not doing enough. That's how ignorant even ASD community is about severe and extremely disabling autism let alone the rest of the world. I could film his life to make u believe me but somehow I think it would be both dangerous and a breach of his privacy and would still be meaningless to those who don't care to understand
Thank god for watch mojo
I have autism spectrum disorder or pdd and after seeing this video I'm alot more happier it put a smile on my face:)
I have autism and ADHD
KVBB me2
KVBB me too.

The definition of this channel
I was diagnosed with a mild form of autism later on at 28
I have autism and I hate my life
You only have one life. Don't waste it
+MrTagnan well unless you believe reincarnation
+The clown prince of crime -*head explodes
+MrTagnan yeah I don't personally believe in reincarnation but still there's some people who think you get reincarnated
+The clown prince of crime I know.
you left me feeling scuisidal.
my mom is poor my dad is poor all because of my little brother having autism
writte a book about it and become less poor
suicidal*
It's not ALL because of having an autistic child. children are costly in general.
Or it might be you? Why blame your little brother he can't help it.
HAHAHA, THAT JOKE WAS UNFUNNY!
Now I have a younger brother with autism 4 years old to be exact.. I'm just curious what life is gonna be like for him when he get older, or is that something we'll just have to find out ?
listen peeps who read this. I got ASD, I am a firm believer that people without ASD don't really get it. that's what I believe. But when I started my freshman year of high school(year 2016- 17 yay) I met a couple others with it and we became buddies. one thing about starting your freshman year with ASD is that you aren't going to be the only one. I myself was surprised to find others with it and before starting high school I always felt like I was a "ghost in the crowd" of everyone in middle school and outside of school. And nobody was aware of ASD, I actually never told anyone about it until just a couple weeks ago, and I was surprised to see people didn't know crap about it. And people I went to school with didn't care. But that doesn't stop me at all. I am use to being alone and away from people, I'm fact I like to be alone than with family most the time. But I never have up with everyone, I actually don't try to make friends other than the 4 others with ASD. they feel the same about everything. But for those who like to call people with autism stupid, ugly, etc just know that people with ASD have a mutual bond(at least my group.) And will swarm you and beat you into a pulp. fellow people with ASD or any other form of autism or my bros and sisters so I can take a punch for one of em. also if your an autism hater from behind a screen ill just say this: the only thing you can do is caps lock someone to death(Not that it works you dumbfucks). But this is all my opinion and beliefs and crap like that. If your an aspie ( I like to say "socially awkward" because I don't like saying "Oh i got autism" idk it's just me but share me your view as well. So with that said see ya
Fact 6: Autism is found most commonly in weeaboos and furries.
No, shut the fuck up
And in call of duty
+geneticalloy01 Fuck you
I have autism yet I'm not a weaboo, furry, or brony.
Fact 7: People who comment lies about Autism on the internet generally are on par with Autism Speaks
