OMG YOUR RIGHT LOL
I was about to say!
ikr
RCLeahcar I wasn't the only one that saw that?! XD
RCLeahcar true xD I can tell by the animation
The love of my life .. my nephew is autistic. What most people do not know is that he is a bright light in my world, and when he grows up he will be a light in the world! Love you Matt!
Wait a second my names Matthew and I have autism so uhhhmmm what
Aw! I wish the best for you both
Mmmm. As an autistic woman, I feel like this video is a good start... but it's not great. It attempts to describe being autistic as a similar experience for everybody whilst trying to emphasise that everyone is different. Autism isn't a mental illness, for one, and it's certainly not a condition I suffer from. It's part of who I am. I live and breathe it. I enjoy every second of it.
Also, as a community, we have to stop with this "we're all a little different" BS. It gives room for abled people to use the "oh but *I* do that sometimes too so you're don't need [xyz] accommodation" and "we're ALL a little autistic" cards. It completely derails the conversation.
+Fiona Sim Quite right. The language is all wrong. We are a hereditary subset of humanity. Our innate inherited natures are stigmatised and despised. Some of us cannot do neurotypical at all and will always require support or even containment. Some of us make films like this. But don't use terms like ill. X
Amen to that!
+Fiona Sim same I hate it when people say we all have a bit of autism inside I like being different
+Fiona Sim wait... your last name is sim? i think were related my last name is sim to!
OMG! you are a psuedointellect with nothing but conspiracy theories. Its not an idealogy its the way some of us are born! Your fear of science is palpable and you seriously need a psych eval stat
This Vid told me nothing about "What is autism?" I'm more confused then i was before. This guy is just throwing darts in air!
That's because it's just a different normal
Yea exactly wtf is this
Guys I was diagnosed with a mild form of autism and like the guy said there are many forms of autism. Like one autistic can be a normal human being maybe slightly different and still live a regular life like everyone else and another autistic can have severe problems with the way they eat, talk, walk, and etc. I live a completely normal life and no one would know that I was diagnosed with autism unless if I told them. Now if you watch the movie Rain Man you’ll see what a severely autistic person is like. Honestly you could have autism and not even know it. Autism is a very confusing and controversial subject.
@@mattgilmeister8118 Off what he said is true and no one knows then they shouldn’t be diagnosing people w/ it imo.
Before watching this: Blank
After watching this : even more blank
this video made me happy, it explains me like a book written directly outta my mind, and yeah i got autism but not the severe one, i'm quite chatty
Me, too. Even if it was severe, people shouldn't judge you for how you were born. I find that kind of stupid. :)
TacoSalad954
Agree
At times I'm quite chatty, at other times I'm not.
@Beatrix In Christ are you bloody daft? autism cannot be cured, its litterly a development error in the brain! your son still has difficulties autism brings, you need to educate yourself more because your words piss me the fuck off, your son is not some monkey you train, you disgust me
This is a great video, there are 2 points that personally I disagree which I hope that the maker of this film will not be hurt over. HFA imo should not be called an illness. It is a behavioral and communicative disorder. I also see that genetics do play a role. I would like to see a study put together showing the connections of genetics.
Thank you so much!
My little sister, that has down syndrome, DEF in her left ear, and has autism
That I just figure it out obviously I have them now what it was and she’s my sister and I want to support her! Thank you so much,
Even though I can’t really talk to her I’ll sign language with her she knows a little bit! :)
When im in class and i laugh sometimes but i dont hear myself i laugh so loud and when i wanna crack a joke its so loud that my teachers tell me to calm down and that i am looking for attenion but its not true it makes me really uncomfortable and sad
My Friend has it and she is allways happy and clapping and yelling hello I love her 😊
The animation is cute! Reminds me of adventure time.
Apple and Onion
Love the simple way of portraying the condition of autism. Well done! I understand how some people who either have autism or live with someone who has it can feel despair or even anger. I ask that you keep holding down the line and keep searching for a happy place. I promise you if you don't give up you too can be ok with autism.
Thank you for making this short film. Love it.

What is cellsforautism
@Beatrix In Christ oh god no
@Beatrix In Christ what do you think is acting right? Masking his emotions and trying to seem normal to you so you don't get him in trouble?
A great video, very well done. Thanks for sharing this!
I'm sorry, but this video does not explain what autism is! It only makes it sound more confusing. I would rather say something like "filterless thinking". Certain things that should come natural in one's development like communicating or 'seeing the big picture' (and I mean that most literal) are often just not there. It's like aproaching everything you know and learn from another angle. As if an alien from another planet would come to earth and is forced to learn every little detail of living by him self, rather than being born with a developing understanding of things, whoever you are..... something like that
For me autism is a crappy thing because my brother has it severely and I can't live in the same house with him sometimes because he makes my life a living hell because I can not go anywhere with out bringing him around
TheRainyGamer That is probably because your mother tell you to or he just loves you.
thats because its made by autistics
lol more word salad are you incapable of using plain english, or is it mandatory for you to prove to everyone that you have been to university?
Johnny Westone No offence but how do you know? Autism comes in multiple versions/ways.
About treating us the same...
We do need you to take certain things account. Some of us need certain things, some of us can't handle certain things, but all of our opinions are valid, no matter what difficulties we have. Even intellectual disabilities.
Why did it say at the start that it is an illness when it really is not 🙄🙄😒
2:14 Yes exactly.. I’ve been diagnosed with ASD ( Autism Spectrum Disorder ) At age 15, now I’m 18. But this video doesn’t fully explain about people with ASD/Autism and just notice the characters are from Adventure Time. lol. But good job, I guess ?
Plus I’m born with it, and we aren’t a sickness either. Everyone is different in the world not just me.
I am going to have to disagree with the notion that we wanted to be treated normally. What I mean by this is by treating me like everybody else, it dismisses and ignores my limitations in social situations. I need someone to treat me normal, but treat me as Normally Me. And I need people to recognize where and when I don't have trouble. I don't want special treatment. I don't want to be considered crazy. Weird. Or different. But I also want people to recognize there is something that makes me different.
+Jene Clyde Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience
torgeir HD Recognizing someone has limitations and differences can be separated from treating us differently. We still need people to recognize the limitations we do have. And I have been diagnosed with Autism. And I know I have limitations. I am being realistic about the way I view what I can and cannot do.
o have the same thig i have atume but im norblae and ever one tresrs me like i have it
Umm they still haven't told us what autism is..
Hassan yeah that's why I'm here
Hassan Seriously this is just a video about how autistics feel pretty misleading title. Its still an okay video I guess
Autism is a neurological disorder. Many autistic people have trouble reading expressions so they may see someone frowning and angry, but they autistic person has no idea they're mad even if it seems obvious to other people. There are also sensory issues; for me I can't stand the feeling of dry hands touching a towel - it hurts. The sound of someone rubbing paper or lightly running their hands down their shirts causing me extreme pain and makes my earbuds throb. A lot of us like pressure, kind of like massages I suppose? But not in the way someone without autism would like it, I don't really know how to explain that one quite well. Communication can also be difficult - some are verbal and some aren't and sometimes faced with something we don't understand we just CANNOT speak no matter how hard we try. Stimming is another thing autistic people do. Flapping hands, rocking, chewing on things, bouncing, touching our finger tips over and over like E.T. This is to calm down. In one situation my flapping can mean I'm overjoyed or want to share information (info dumping is common, I'll explain that in a second) but the flapping can also mean that there is too much happening and I can't express how I feel verbally, I can only flap and rock and hope someone understands that I need help and to be removed from the area or have the loud noises stopped or have something explained to me. Special interests are common. For some it's planes (like me), others it's dinosaurs, programming computers, world wars, a video game or book series, etc. If it's a special interest of our's, chances are if you ask about it you'll get more info than what you were looking for and it may be hard to get us to stop talking about it. I once talked about ww2 for twenty minutes once and the only reason I stopped is because the bell rang and class was over - I wasn't even close to being done telling everything I know. Depending on where someone is placed on the spectrum, these things affect them differently. Someone who is considered low functioning could do something better than someone high functioning - it's different from person to person. For some, sensory isn't as severe. My friend is autistic and her sensory issues are far less severe than mine (I can only wear two types of fabric without it hurting me and need headphones when I go into class), but her social skills aren't as tuned as mine despite her going through the therapy given to autistic children to help them learn these things when I did not. Autism affects every autistic person differently, and you will never find one the same as another. It's an incredibly huge spectrum and I only covered the most basic of the basics. There is no cure for autism, only treatment to help us navigate life if and when we become independent - while I could live with one other person to keep me on track other autistic people have to live their whole lives with their parents. We're all different.
It did
Its wen peaple are smarter or a litle wackier than normal.
Some peaple have trouble lerning but wen they do they have a mutch more detailed rundown.
I have asburgers and dislexia wen it comes to autism
A brain with a propensity for fixation might be a good way of summarizing it. It’s hard for us to filter our senses and harmful stimuli like non-autistic people can, and very easy for us to get stuck on things or overly obsessed with them in ways others do not. This can lead to all kinds of problems, from being unable to read people properly, to getting genuinely upset or overwhelmed by things others might merely find unexpected or annoying, or go out of our way to simulate stimulation if we’re not getting enough of it (stimming).
One of the main upsides of it all though is that we tend to become quite good at our hobbies and interests as a result of it. Autistic people also tend to overall be more eccentric or “quirky” due to us not being able to rely on social conventions as well, but rather just kind of guessing things as we go along in life, for better or worse 😅
It's not an illness.
many kids/toddlers get it from vaccines ...
it not vacseens it just a disability
Richard Sunday what are you talking about?
@@richardsunday1612 No
@@richardsunday1612 🤡🤡
Less than a minute in I've heard "illness" "disorder" and "suffering".
STOP USING THESE LABELS!
My kiddo is not sick or disabled or suffering! He's a beautiful happy funny child who sees the world differently and thinks about it differently. Frankly, I often see it as a special gift.
This is so well said thank you for explaining this
This is beautiful
autism is NOT an illness

I have no idea what autism is after watching this

Pete Bloczynski you just said that like two times.
I have autisum FUCK U
@@PlayedLOL_XD Chill out
I’m looking for things that will help me know more about my autism so this video helped me a lot thx
This video fits better under the topic of tolerance than defining exactly what autism is BUT I like it. I think it serves an important purpose
An excellent video!
Autism is not a joke
This video is amazing thank you! :)
I'm officially beyond confused. What is autism?!?! Every person in the world expresses themselves differently, but what earned these people a diagnosis? What is the spectrum?!?! Are the autistic typically high or low functioning? Is this a legitimate disability, or is it a crutch? Will they grow into independent or dependent adults? How is this a legitimate diagnosis if the "experts" know nothing about it, and can't articulate it to the masses? Can anyone explain in Layman's terms what separates them from us?
+DemonicFlaim1000 Hi, if you would like more information about Autism please see the National Autistic Society website here www.autism.org.uk/
+DemonicFlaim1000 Yeah... this isn't a very informative video. Further research from a legitimate source should clear up some of it for you, as the poster said. But specifically, I'll try to explain some of it here. Warning: Wall of text.
The Autism spectrum covers people with a variety of neurological and social symptoms. They tend to either have unusually low or unusually high intelligence (though there are plenty of us in the normal intelligence range, too). More severe cases of autism may be non-verbal, regardless of intelligence. Moderate cases may start speaking late, while some will have no difficulty speaking at all. One of the primary problems autistic people face is dealing with sensory input. It happens differently in us than in the average population: Often loud noises, bright lights, unusual textures, tastes, or smells can cause significant distress. Autistic people will often avoid crowds, flinch if touched, refuse to eat certain foods or wear certain clothes, etc. to avoid unpleasant sensations. We also have trouble interpreting social cues, so it takes a lot of extra effort, or, in more extreme cases, may be impossible to learn how to appropriately react in a social situation. Autistic people may be rude without meaning to be, more blunt than is appropriate, unable to understand sarcasm, humor or lying etc. It's also often hard for us to gauge how much eye-contact is appropriate, so you will get people on the spectrum who either avoid eye contact all together, or stare for inappropriate amounts of time. Many autistic people, children especially, are primarily visual, so verbal instructions can be confusing. Autistic people also tend to have one or several fixations (a common example used being trains, mine currently being Star Wars). These can be either fairly consistent throughout life, or change from time to time. Once you get them talking about one of their passions, they can go on for hours without realizing whether or not they're boring people. Most autistic people, especially children will experience the occasional meltdown. These look like temper-tantrums, but they are completely involuntary reactions to being overwhelmed by too much physical, mental, or emotional stimulation. It takes a lot of work to learn how to anticipate and defuse them before they reach critical mass, and even that is not always possible, so even high-functioning adults may experience them. The primary risk with those is self-harm and being disruptive, though occasionally they may result in lashing out against someone else, so it's typically best to give someone having a meltdown their space unless they are hurting themselves or damaging something. Most autistic people are extremely distressed by changes in their routines, and need time to mentally prepare for anything out of the ordinary. This can range from a few minutes for something small, like changing tasks, to a few days for something major, like going to a friend's house. There are many other quirks and symptoms, but those are the primary ones I can give you off the top of my head.
Autism is a legitimate disorder, but depending on the individual, an autistic person may or may not be able to live a completely normal life. A high-functioning individual will likely be able to live on their own, but will likely need a consistent support system in place (family and friends to keep an eye open and help out if things get too crazy. Which I'm pretty sure is good for anyone regardless of their neurology). Lower functioning individuals, those with debilitating social inhibitions or low intelligence, may require life-long care.
Experts don't actually know nothing about it. It just hasn't been heavily studied until recently, so they are still in the early stages of understanding. The current consensus is that it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It runs in families, but not consistently enough to be caused solely by genes. It also is not caused by vaccinations. That theory has been thoroughly debunked.
+seatbelttruck help me tooooooo please recommend me information senpei?
What is the book to place of each place?
1) Autism is a family of related conditions that affects a person's ability to communicate and interact. 2) It's called a spectrum because it is not just one condition, but a range 3) There is no "typical" autistic 4) It is a very legit disability and definitely not a crutch 5) It depends on the individual. Some do become independent, while others require lifelong caretakers 6) Experts know quite a lot about the condition and how to spot it, but not the CAUSE.
Two words....love it!
Adventure Time much
Lol I know right XD
CasualCoolseb XD
Ikr!
I aint complaining
This is great. It's a great video.
Usually Autistic people want social justice! Like me, I'm autistic because I don't really know how to talk to others, unless I can REALLY relate to them, it's not bad, it's just I feel like if I said "hey guys, I'm autistic" that they would start to feel like I am someone they shouldn't be around, but I mean I don't really care, also I hate seeing others put others down, sure if anyone puts me down, I build a bridge and go around it, but just don't hate other people!
ThatPixelPainter wow thx also can I be your friend kik: emmhill613
Damn this makes me feel better about myself I’m watching it again
This is really good
Apart from the illness part which is actually wrong.
Great video
I have autism and I have suffered eight long school years of bullying. I have been called 'crazy' 'mentally retarded' and 'abnormal'. One time, my bus driver verbally abused me and said it was okay because 'kids like me' made her lose her last job.
I just wanna say that Autism is not an illness
This is the most insprational video i ever watched ✌🏻️💕
Well you haven't watched enough CZcams my friend
+Rony Punnakkattusserry No its because my little sister has autism..
Good Explanation
I have pdd nos which is under the autism spectrum umbrella
The truth is unless your living with it yourself you will never understand what it feels like
is it where you think ahead and try to remember what to and should do tommarow I mean I do that
I really like this video because my brother has autism to.
Thank you so much you helped me understand my friend sov very much : )
i have autism and for me it is hard to say words and i get shy when i meet new people.
I want to make a little video for a school project also about autism, and my only quistion is: what program did you use to make this video? It would help me a lot! Thanks in advance :))
+Stella Matthes That's great! Chris used Photoshop/Bamboo tablet and Final cut pro X to create this film. Thanks!
Please don’t make another film about autistic people without doing proper research and consulting with us autistics first. Maybe you could do a film about your learning experience, but thus film already feels patronizing enough. It’s also a confused film. Thx!
I have autism and I don’t like it. Mainly because of it I can’t do a lot of things that the average person can do. Also I have a trouble understanding things and people know that and they still get mad at me for making one little mistake. And people make fun of me for the things I do like fidgeting and other stuff. So that’s why I don’t like being autistic.
My friend has autism and I actually did not know what it meant because I'm just 9. I saw this video and now I know what autism is. I wonder if his best friend knows that he has autism...
what is the music playing i love it
amen on that message
this left out the thing about the obsessive behavior and just told us how autistics are like everyone else and gave me no explanation on what it is being autistic, dont get me wrong, i have nothing against autistics, me and my family are big supporters of autistic people but i found this video be talking much but saying nothing
I am autistic and this video is really good too no if you don't have it
I have autism and scoliosis I was diagnosed with autism when I was 5 in 2014 May 4th 2021 I turned 12yearsold
Never knew it was so vague.
I have autism.
Well, I like the video, but the problem with it is that it really does absolutely nothing to explain what autism IS, just what it is NOT.
Very nice... quite informative ehh👍...me love this vid...
This is Beautiful, I have autsim so i can relate a bit^^
its to bad that in real life most people treat autism people as if they was idiots, im autistic and i got bullied everday in primary but when i entered high school my mother put me in a autistic school there i was excepted i suggest for autistic kids to go to a autistic school
Omgee da art styleee
hi i have an important question
is autism a physical condition?
meaning as the brain?
meaning not psychological
Finally! SOMEONE GODAMN GET IT!!! I thought i was a only one that. But someone know how i feel :)
Don't associate us with the puzzle piece please
Not tryna be disrespectful but may I ask why you don’t want us to be associated with the puzzle piece
This is like looking at the Future.
i am autistic and i love this it makes me for me
I have autism. Like for respect.
I have autism
I looked this up to get an answer. I’m more confused.
I have autism and I am in all advanced classes in school.
Most mildly autistic people are actually more intelligent than other people. Good job!
A person’s intelligence could be low or high and their needed levels of support or “severity” of their autism could be equally low or high. If a person’s intelligence is higher, it can help them develop better “adaptive skills.”
GOOD VIDEO I HAVE AUTISM MYSELF
hvae you been binge watching Adventure Time or what?
1:53 "sometimes it makes them feel [random symbols]"
Either I'm autistic or the author of the video is a bad communicator, because I have no clue what he's trying to say. (probably both)
Autism, I suffer from Autism. It's really hard because i have Autism, ADD and DCD (DCD are education problems.) If you have the same 3 (actually more because DCD is a word for many education disorders) you are highly creative= a spectrum of autism+ADD. You have bigger communication problems and be a little more aggressive and uncontrollable= autism+ ADD.
I have made a drawing how people with autism (including me) see the world. A road to freedom and traps all the way to the end.
I think the core message of this is really good but it misses the nail on a lot of points
Everyone don't like me because i have autism I remembered my kindergarten teacher really wants me to be all normal in her class and I was like "Normal? Huh?" I was the quietest child and nobody sits at me at lauch, the bus, or talking to me all they just do is glare at me I was crying in the bus and I didn't ask my mom about I was scared
Autism is a neurotype not an illness
I think is important to say that a person has autism instead of saying the person is autistic. Autism does not define her, it is just part of who the person is. Nobody says that the person is "tuberculosistic" but has tuberculosis, and so on.
+Simone Bittencourt Thank you for your comment.
+Simone Bittencourt Of course autism defines us. You can't take the autism out of us and have the same person. To use your analogy with tuberculosis: you can remove the TB out of someone and you still have the person who was there before they contracted it. As autism is part of a person's personality, they would be totally different without it.
I AM VERY SMART! I NEVER TALK! Mine is very severe
I had a cerebral palsy and autism since I was a little girl

wow. i know this comment is 3 years old but this is amazingly informative and helpful. my 9 yr old brother is on the spectrum too. our family has never told him directly that he's autistic, which i feel was a mistake, but im hoping to change that now. he was just recently introduced to autism by a book his teaching assistant at school gave him, and today when he came home he asked me about it! I'll be honest, i'm ecstatic to tell him, and im trying to find a video that will help me explain what autism is to him in a way that he and others can understand and take good things from, without alienating it. If you're still active on youtube and you have the time or are alright with doing so, do you think you could help me come up with a way to explain it to him? a phrase that helped you, what to expect when growing up and going to school, or the do's and dont's? just about anything you think could help!
again, amazing comment. thank you so much!
Damn for a sec I thought I am not autistic but then I though I am after reading your comment.
yay a nice one
Can someone help me...like I mean everytime I hear a story or watch a movie I feel like I am the main character I know this is wierd😔😔 but like...wth wrong with me
Is it me Or did the creater of adventure time made this
Hmm why is this sounds similar to me
This guy sounds like Amon Goth from Schindler's List.
I have autisim and language disorder and I gulp when I talk
is that princess bubble gum, marshalee and marsaline??
This video does not tell me anything about autism? It just says they’re different in a light way
I just discovered my brother has this
Unicorn Girl If your brother has this try to treat him regularly but don't get mad when or if he does not pay attention or if he tries to do something social try to give him some good tips if you know any. is he your little brother or big brother.
It's not an illness
I have autism. I dare you to bully me. You'll only hurt yourself.
your art style reminds me of Adventure Time

what a cute white ball 😍 i want to hug it. love all whats white, rounded, fluffy and has eyes. im said to have Asperger syndrome and i feel like having schisophrenia. why am i cursed? thats why nobody loves me, i have no topics, can talk, but nothing to talk about. need the world to be schematic, while i hate cleaning room and make homework or learn. have a lot of interests, but im master of nothing and cant start a conversation. thats hard. always wanted to play, but had no one to play with, dont know how it is to have fun (said that in my movie 50 facts about me, which is in Polish. maybe thats why nobody watches it). i am different, but thats a negative difference. i want to be special, but in a positive meaning. all i need is love and fun.
