Just got my official diagnosis yesterday at 67 1/2 yrs young. Autism, & ADHD Thanks for the list and your dedication to helping others find their way. It was worth it. Kind of blown away actually. Feels surreal.
Yes congrats😊
Aw that’s awesome!! Thank you so much for the comment! Make sure you are subscribed and have the notifications turned on :).
Congrats! 😊 How receiving a diagnosis was described to me; you still have a mountain to climb, but at least you now know which mountain, and you have a map
Did u have a parent available to answer their questions? I am 59 and waiting to get on a 4-year waiting list.
@@TheAspieWorld Many children have problem with going to the bathroom,some will struggle for years
Every single one of those (except maybe 1 or 2) describes the struggles Ive been going through for 39 years now. I also believe I have ADHD and its a constant battle. I work as a software engineer, was very average in school and dropped out of university and I am self taught. I was surprised to find that I had an IQ of at least 145 which I actually believe doesnt mean anything, I am very good at visial patterns and problem solving but thats about it. I can barely remember to eat and unless I have the exact same meal I eat everyday in my freezer, I just cant eat. A smart person would be able to reason around these sorts of issues. I have 1 friend who I have known for 31 years and havent made a single friend as an adult, I crave socialising until I have been invited somewhere or have a commitment and then it seems like I want nothing more than to hide away. I have two daughters and only since seeing them begin to struggle with similar issues, sensory, gut, food, mutism etc that I realised perhaps Im not am imposter to consider it. Thank you for your videos, I have watched a few over the last couple of days and I am determined to get a diagnosis, if not for me, definitely for my daughters as I dont want them to struggle like this all their lives and wonder why they feel so broken and different.
Can relate to you to some extent. I am currently a teenager at the moment of writing my comment, and my IQ is 133 as of my last test in 2023. I also want to work on some sort of an IT job, but I do not have ADHD. Only things I encounter frequently are that I feel like I am too different to people, I cannot study in so much public noise. But to say more, I find myself to resonate with like a fourth or third of all symptoms in this video. I see the future, as a challenge for myself, but a bleak adventure with a slow recovery from my childhood trauma. I have not have actual friends in real life for 5 years straight, and it seems like will try to make, but they will not be the actual ones.
@NoodleFlame Try Vitamins Fish Oil, Magnesium and D.
Go attend a Christian Church.
I am cursed with Asperger's also. Good vibes to you. Thank you for posting.
@@JeffreyReeves-sh2bg attending some building is not helpful at all, unless it uses scientific methods, which I am sure your does not.
I love you just for keeping Aspergers going and not backing down to those in the community who really try to push down hard on people to no longer use their asperger diagnosis
It's problematic either way. But, if I had the ability to wave a magic wand and fix things, I'd probably merge AS with SChizoid Personality Disorder and finally fix the problem once and for all. Merging AS into ASD just meant that there is more over diagnosing of schizophrenia spectrum disorders than there should be in order to avoid having to deal with the mess that happens when you get out there the edges of the autistic spectrum. If you go by the diagnostic criteria. A combined AS/ScPD diagnosis would help to improve that dramatically as ScPD is basically just the extreme masking, extreme alexithymia version of autism. Or, the extremely autistic form of schizophrenia.
Now I know my self. At 38 I'm now living my best life. Every day is a gift. I practice meditation now and feel so connected to earth and my self.
Most apply to me - with a few exceptions. Anyone with persistent headaches should get their blood pressure checked ASAP. It might be a warning sign of traumas to come if not done promptly, especially in older people.
My son has chronic pain, migraines, sleep disturbances and gastrointestinal issues and this has all become much worse now that he is 14. Thank you for you videos.
Aww bless him xx Thank you so much for the comment! Make sure you are subscribed and have the notifications turned on :).
my son has aspergers and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and is celiac
I have autism and ADHD, something that is not uncommon in our population is fibromyalgia. I have this also. It’s chronic widespread pain on all parts of the body, fatigue, migraines, brain fog, sleeping problems, anxiety, depression, etc. I also have gastrointestinal issues but I’m not sure if it’s autism or fibromyalgia, probably both. The symptoms are overlapping.
I love theater.
Thats food that is making them sick and it will make autism worse most of the time, especially with gut issues. Research ellimination/carnovore diet on autistic people and you’ll be surprised
I recently got ahold of a psychiatric report of mine from 7 years ago & discovered that mild autism spectrum disorder was listed under the diagnoses, and that I was was showing symptoms at 10 but, back then, was diagnosed with complex PTSD, ADHD, schizoid personality traits and Reactive Attachment Disorder instead. I still have PTSD & RAD as well as mild neurocognitive disorder from an accident. There was also lots in the report about extreme social awkwardness, not having common sense, not detecting social cues, and poor coordination as a preteen.
I'm 33 now, I have had caregivers from my past suggest I have autism but I'd always say they were probably seeing symptoms of other things. After reading that report I now believe it & have only started learning about it properly. Thank you for your informative content!

I'm 35, and spent 5 years fighting to get an Asperger's/ASD diagnosis, only to be told (despite ticking almost every box possible) it's all down to my traumas only! 😩 If they'd done half the tests on me that they did on my friend, AND let me have a more reliable witness (not insisting on my mum / talking to my school friend who actually knows me and remembers stuff) then I bet I would've got a diagnosis! I'm still unsure whether to appeal it (a couple of years later) as I don't wanna put myself through that hope/dismissal meltdown again. After I was rejected, my sister got her diagnosis in about a month, from a different place. The cruel irony? She was the one originally fighting me NOT TO get diagnosis for myself and my son. (He's diagnosed ASD&ADHD now and gets the extra support he needs 💗)
@Mp-wc2chI don’t know what your doing but please stop. NO herbs will make any difference in a person’s behaviour unless it’s reacting to certain enzymes in a physical manor (aka allergens, irritants and poisons). Since your saying this under an autism/Asperger’s video l feel the need to tell you this: your son is most likely masking. These traits can’t be changed and for you to seek that isn’t helping. I get why people want to do that but don’t. It just makes it harder to accept autism/Asperger’s.

Me and my best friend are both currently getting diagnosed with autsim and adhd thank you this is amazing!!
Ooh beat of luck!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
I'm A Proud 🦚 Member of The San Diego County California USA Autism Society Since December 4 Of 2019!!!!
I am living in San Diego County, too. Wow! It's small world. I am wondered... Can I join the "Autism Society" in San Diego County? How?
What a sad group of little boys. Grow up you weak tiny minds
58/77.
It should be noted that a lot of these that were "noticeable" in childhood/school settings, become "impairments" in adulthood.
I was a part of sports teams growing up, but once games really became serious, i became a space cadet benchwarmer. Useless. Ineffective. In the workplace, im severely underemployed.
The art execution one was interesting. I could have endless grandiose visions but never manifest them on paper. (Or pottery. Or canvas.)
I relate to almost all of the list. Waiting to have my official diagnosis for Autism and ADHD done, been waiting over 2 years now 😢😢😢😢
I have aspergers and adhd been diagnosed since very young and now 45. I have a wild imagination and love acting. I write, I spend so much time maladaptive Day dreaming. It always weird that my imagination is better than most but I'm not supposed to have it
I have most of these but interestingly enough I'm actually hyper-aware of social cues and body language. I just never know what to really say.
Oh! Thank you so much for the comment!
This explains so much. Especially the physical traits. I had no idea about those at all, but I have many of them.
I got 77 symptoms and a diagnosis, ain't one
hitme
Hahahha dang this made me laugh! Thank you so much for the comment!
Thank you so much for this list. Things like this are so helpful for people to understood the nuances of autistic's understanding of the world.
I found this the most helpful of all the Asperger messages on CZcams. My grandson is ten and has lived with me since 20 months old. He was diagnosed ADHD/ODD at age five. He is currenly being reassessed because his time at school is mostly wasted and I am looking to move him to a Steiner School. But in looking at your 77 signs, I am pleased to see only the first 70 are seen in my boy!
Hi Dan, another great vid. Really is a bit scary how many of these I have. Another way to look at it is that I'm good at it!
For #33 I want to learn guitar but I have such a hard time committing to it especially when I’m not improving
Thanks you so much, i feel bad because my family not understand me,they only critic my fault i not deny my fault ,but my parents only critic my fault, sister have fault too,that is unfair.
People wanted to be Self diagnosed, I think this is a pretty good way to start (when you go to the doctor you will be asked very similar questions)
I did participate in solo musical activities as a child along with dance 💃 activities. I believe I have become more rigid in my thinking as a got older and am turning 40 years old this year.
I’m worn out just listening to this list!😃
Hahah
Yeah. I didn't make it past #11. Pure sensory overload, which I gleaned from the title -- 77 symptoms in 8+ minutes. But I thought I'd see if it could be done. Respectfully, I think this video is the exact OPPOSITE of what I'd ever recommend to anyone with Asperger's. It's just flat out f****** annoying and makes me question the point of the OP. In a way it was kind of like bad sex -- trying to cram too much into too short a period of time. But hey...that's just me.
My job has show when I sing l love it when I am asked to talk in crowd I feel sick
I have autism (pdd-nos so I basically just have aspergers with a language delay) and im watching this video. I'm not completely done with it but you got some that most people don't ever talk about (like the lack of cognitive empathy and the emotional dysregulation) (my special interest is in psychology so I know alot that most will never even hear of so don't feel bad if you didn't understand my words) I just saw your art defict symptom and I can confirm this is true I had this and now I don't have to feel bad about it so thank you for helping me finding this out. Thank you, you helped me alot.
Thanks Dan...love your videos..have a 5 year old grandson vir Aspergers..diagnosed at age 3..he is doing just fine. Your videos are my "go to" channel
Thank you for your concise and detailed presentation. I am overwhelmed with all of that. Thank you for improving my perspective.
More than 3/4 of those are my struggles, in an oddly specific way. I'm gonna get myself evauated/diagnosed as soon as I have the means
I'm 59 and I haven't received any response from my doctor regarding potential ADHD diagnosis. I've got the impression the NHS believes I'm too old. ADHD has been pointed out as the reason for my major difficulty in concentration, comprehension and focus.
I thought I was the only one who got overwhelmed in stores. I have had meltdowns when I can't find my hisnaf and him he is just one row over in Target. The good thing that came out of Covid was delivery from almost all stores around us. It has relieved so much stress.
I have heard that a lot of people on the spectrum get themselves involved in acting and theater, and that the underlying reason seems to be we do this to literally learn how to act. lol But I know that I wanted to act since I was 3 years old. Anyway, back to the video.
I think I have Aspergers, and I think many of us love the arts, and all things beautiful. I was a professional classical violinist. One thing I loved to do was to lie on the floor of my home, basking in the sea of sound from Bruckner's 8th Symphony coming out of stereo speakers.
I had a talent for acting, probably because by the time I had the opportunity to try it for the first time, I'd already been spending all of my in person time practicing. To this day, my go to when I need to learn something is to find somebody that knows how to do it and copy them until I know how to do it. (Or if it's more complicated, just flood myself with information on the subject until I get it)
Very drastic and sobering to have these presented in a quick list but of course with a huge spectrum of Aspie individuals, some will be more affected by these elements than others...
Starting the official Dx journey today, going to see the doctor in a couple of minutes 🙃
i am extremely empathetic and good at understanding body language and the slightest hints.
I was thankfully diagnosed with high functioning autism and adhd when I was young about 6 and I was shocked on how many of these where similar to me since even though I have autism usually symptoms differ a good bit from person to person personally I had 71 out of 77 symptoms
I have so many of these signs, but I don't really have a way of getting diagnosed at 34 years old. There aren't really any clinics who can diagnose me where i live, which really sucks.
What would a diagnosis change? Pretty much nothing...you can learn what helps people with this condition online if you want to see if it helps you.
A diagnosis can help but you don't need it. Self diagnosis is acceptable to most other autistic people.
First! Wooo, thanks Dan for ur continued commitment to explain this unexplainable Brian difference to those without it or those with it wanting to learn more, love the channel, much respect, from, another Autistic Dan, ❤ 🙏
Whoooop Thank you so much for the comment!
I relate to so many of these 😅. Some of my friends asked me if I had autism and I got offended by the notion. But the more I looked into it and looked back on my life, the more I can say that I’m an aspie with ADHD and OCD. *wish I was ocd about my room*. It always felt like a tug. Wanting sameness, hyperfocus on something, and stim like shaking my hands and stuff. But I would never thought I’m mildly autistic because the doctor wasn’t able to confirm it. I wasn’t put in a situation where both Autism and ADHD would come out neurologically. Only ADHD did. So I always felt like there was another half of me that wasn’t addressed in life and had to discover that on my own.
I answer yes to many of these points, but I emphasize that I have improved on many of them because I had realized they were a problem for me, and this was even before Asperger's syndrome (I only understood I had it as an adult). The areas that are difficult to work on are those related to excessive sensory sensitivity, which, in my case, seems to be getting a bit worse as I age.
Gosh this was an eye opener…time I go get tested!
I only have 76 signs, pbew, thought I had it there for a minute!
Good one!😂
Autism and ADHD seems so common.
They are.
Our son with Asperger's and ADHD has quite a few of these traits. Thanks for sharing.
I was just diagnosed last year at age 29. I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 4, but have a younger sibling with Autism. I was treated for ADHD as a child, but treatments never worked, and even seemed to make my behavior worse. After my sibling was born, we realized that I most likely had Autism as I have many of the same symptoms my sibling does. Turns out, we were right. Everything makes so much sense now. Many of these symptoms and experiences I had as a child and still have today.
I had to take this in 15 min. segments. I got writers cramp from checking stuff off. I was bound to lose some.
Yeah. This has great information but the presentation is just insane. WAY too much crammed into too short a period. That surprised me and pissed me off coming from someone who is claiming to understand Asperger's.
I can agree to some things but I go in the opposite direction in others. I love playing games for example. Including sports games. What I love about it is to use my brain without it having a big life impact. I can can just play with it and develop strategies depending on the games' rules. Also you know what to talk about while doing that cause everyone in focused on the game.
Thank you so much, this is going to help me advocate for my Aspie husband ❤
Happy to help! X Thank you so much for the comment! Make sure you are subscribed and have the notifications turned on :).
Im a migraine sufferer, hayfever, asthma, gi issues, sleep issues wow!
I am now wondering if the reason for the migraines could be over sensitivity to the environment? Im not diagnosed but my brother is. Im like 90% sure I'm autistic too.
I have to go away for a week for work soon and I'm dreading it as I know I won't sleep xxx
Loophole to some of these lack of interest/inabilities - that thing IS the special interest (sports, theatre, musical, etcm)
knitting.sewing.crocheting and spinning can be a productive stim.
Have been trying to get a diagnosis for 3 years here in the US but I live in a rural area and there are no doctors nearby that will evaluate adults for autism.
Am I a unique case?? Because I can socialize, work in groups, devate, know when someone is upset or sad, have empathy. The only I feel related is the routine and repetitive activities 😮
My son was diagnosed with adhd but because he is only 9 now its hard to say whether its Aspergers instead. Too many similarities
#67 IS SO OFTEN FOR ME I THOUGHT I WAS JUST WEIRD. I sometimes have the urge to make an "mh" sound at the back of my throat and will continue for minutes at a time making that noise. It like an urge
What caused autism in kids, most people think it's just happened. I think it's deeper than that, sad things that the person himself or herself and their surrounding that loves them to feel the pain. I'm sure I will be better if we keep trying and be motivated.
There really isn't. There are different theories like monotropism. I personally think that the most likely explanation that autism is essentially one end of a larger spectrum that ends with schizophrenia on the other end. Whereas there is an extreme awareness and connection to the logic and concrete on the autism end, there's a similar degree of connection to creativity and the metaphorical on the schizophrenic end. And what was Asperger's Syndrome is incredibly hard to separate from Schizoid Personality Disorder. Apart from the former being a bit earlier and that latter involving even less emotional reactivity, it can be incredibly hard to tell the difference without a lot of work.
Can you make a list of things they're really good at? :)
Aspires are highly creative, intelligent, good at building stuff and strategy, good at puzzles, and make excellent mathematicians and engineers . My husband is a writer , an amazing drummer, and phenomenal high school English teacher, he’s good with his hands and is a Jack of all trades. My son is extremely smart, creative and musical, and will be someone great when he grows up!
@@Dani._ella Some are not good at math but are good at other school subjects or the arts.
@@Catlily5 it’s all individual. No two people are the same
@@Dani._ella That is my point!
Why do I have nearly all 77? Maybe it is all, and I think I am better at 2 of those than I am? Wait, I let the video run again. Yup - got en all!!!
With the gastrointestinal problems - that might have to do with autistic eating and drinking habits. There seems to be a lack of sensitivity for thirst which might result in obstipation, or eating priorities that might end up in "too good" digestion or in obstipation. E.g. I need juice to drink with water or without - makes a vivid digestion. One of my sons needed to make a drinking routine to have less obstipation, and he still has health problems from not drinking enough.
Some autistic people have gastrointestinal problems due to problems with their connective tissue.
@twixisgodandsoaremacerator9285 O, there are other videos about it. But, as I said - they don't feel hunger and thirst so soon as others. Of course they get hungry and thirsty, but e.g. they feel thirst when they are already drying out. 1/2 liter seems enough for them, while below 1 liter in winter and 1 1/2 liter in summer means serious health issues. That's not a thing for diagnostic, because old people often have the same issue. But overall it is not so usual that people think they had enough drinking only 1/2 liter or less per day. But it seems to autists it is widely spread. I did not realise the bad effect on health until I was 27, and even today, I mean right now, being 55 I feel not wanting to drink more than 0.5 liter - I will have to force myself, because today it will be a nice summer day.
@twixisgodandsoaremacerator9285 Just because they mean nothing to you doesn't mean that they don't hurt other people. If you are in enough pain or discomfort then you will notice.
That's exactly what it is. Autism is a neurological condition, not stomach. This is why parents must be vigilant about hydration and nutrition if they can because junk food and other garbage is already bad enough for regular people. I've seen people just throw their arms in the air and just accept that extreme constipation and other damaging issues can't be mitigated. Adult laziness and stupidity is a big problem for autistic kids sadly.
#34 omfg I hate clubs for this one so much 😭😭I feel soo cringy when trying to dance, any type of it.... I also can't keep track of my feet...
That's a great list you put together. For me personally I also have issues with my Interoceptive system which has to do with the other three sensory areas of the body. Most people think we have 5 senses when we actually have eight.
This list descibes every person i know. How do they narrow things down to determine a diagnosis? Is there a specific criteria based on these traits?
Hmmm... kinda like everyone is on the spectrum? Hmmmmm 🤔
This list is bullshit. Psychology and psychiatry is to at least 95% BS, even if I don't deny that autism exists and that I have a mild variety of it myself.
Videos like these rather reinforce people's stereotypes about autism.
Many or most of these traits are as well found in people who are simply introverts or just don't want to play along in the charade that society is.
This is just an unofficial list. In my country you have to be evaluated according to the DSM 5. You have to meet the criteria. A few people out of 100 will meet it. Not everyone.
I started counting how many I do and by #15 realised it is easier to count the ones I don't do, lol.
Well over half fit me.
I really need to start my own CZcams channel about living with Aspergers/Autism. I follow all of these rules and I especially don’t like group activities at all. Hard to believe I fit all these categories.
Gosh it turned out these symptoms are all seen in daughter 😢😢 she was diagnosed with severe adhd and spd but Asperger’s makes more sense to me after watching many of your content 😟 what can I do now? You’re videos are sooo informative thank you so much for all the hard work! Do you have any recommendations for parents? I feel like i am always failing no matter what i do 😔
I tried soooo hard to keep up, but my brain kept tuning your fast speaking out and suddenly you're at #40 >.>
So I kept having to restart then got bored when I missed the same 10 points lol this format is interesting but not very ND friendly, unless looped play is the goal here for more watch time 🤔
edit: i always look for descriptions, and that made it so much easier to follow along, so the post is ND friendly, but your fast talking wasn't so much for me xD
either way, "i was born with a tooth" kinda sent me into actual laughter today, so thanks for that, it's rare I get an emotional response to youtube videos haha
You can slow the video down. CZcams has it so you can slow down or speed up a video.
Appreciate a lot all this information. 👍
Thanks so much for sharing.

Getting angry when people don't understand the umpteenth explanation. Ludwig Wittgenstein was so furious with one of his not so bright students that he actually knocked him out.
79
Freaking out over broken promises or persistent lying. People with Asperger's syndrome, although more often than not the victims of crimes, might in this case even turn to serious physical violence.
80
Having knowledge of obscure details that are impressive in an academic environment.
You have good content, could you please try to slow down? It is hard to get everything you are saying. Thank you😊
Sorry adhd problems 😭😭😭
@@TheAspieWorld ☺no worries, I sometime talk to fast too.
Got 67 out of 77. Been trying to get a diagnosis but I struggle with task initiation....lol.
Hi. I counted 37 of those symptoms, but others could be possible too, because I've spent the last 42 years of my life being mostly isolated from people. I know that avoidance solves most of my problems. How do I get diagnosed, and how do I persuade my Doctor to even have me tested please ? - Thanks.
Thanks for this list, very interesting indeed... ❤ I see many of those things in me and yeah I was diagnosed a few years ago...
And yes group activities=hell! 🤮
Hi Dan, our 10 year old grandson has had an ASD diagnosis for over a year, and is waiting assessment for ADHD. He is intelligent, can read well, loves maths and music. Struggling to help with meltdowns as he can and does lash out at people. Afterwards he’s sorry and thinks he’s rubbish. It’s really hard for us to know how to handle these incidents. Clearly not acceptable but as he says ‘my mind turns to jelly’!
first off, you're not "handling" your grandkid, that doesn't leave any room to "raise" him. He's not a problem to solve. Second, he feels he has to apologize for who he is, because you classify his meltdowns in the same category of choosing to lash out at people. That's two things that will make sure you never understand him.
I'm still figuring my own AuDHD out, but my parents talked like you, and if they just tried to think about those two perspectives, i might not have grown up feeling like my real personality is not acceptable outside of myself.
My 10 year old son just got his second official diagnosis of Aspergers and adhd yesterday. He is exactly like your grandson…musical, wonderful at math and reading and very intelligent and creative. We struggle very much with executive functioning and emotional regulation . You are not alone. But I must say , Just forgive him easily and always make sure he knows he is loved no matter what and even if!
I just listened to a CZcams speech yesterday by an Aspergers expert in London, from about 7 years ago. He said that physical exercise is way more helpful for Aspergers than stuff like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Prozac. Speaking as an autistic woman who lost control if my behavior when I took Siberian Ginseng for weight loss -- and found out it was because the supplement upped my usually small testosterone level -- I would say, the physical exercise will help tame testosterone in a male. Also, taking vitamin C and elderberry at bedtime helps me sleep, and sleep is essential for better mental health. Oh! And blue light blocking glasses and limited screen time. And going barefoot outside daily.
Excellent video!
78. Making a video about 77 of something on CZcams, which is too long for most of people.
79. Rudely claiming "77 of anything is too much for viewer" in a random CZcams video comment section.
80. Making this list 80 for obvious reason. Then decide to add another one after finding out 81 is square number.
81. Using capital Y and T for "CZcams" in CZcams comment section.
82 Laughing my a off
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOVE THIS
not ideal for ADHD!
Every autistic female I know is unusually emotionally perceptive and is hyper sensitive to micro expressions. Autistic males are the opposite. It would be nice if men, especially men working in medicine, remembered they aren't the only people with Asperger's and sex hormones make a huge difference in human behavior. That short sightedness has led to literally millions of women worldwide getting late diagnosis or no diagnosis at all.
Okay if this guy has Asperger’s I definitely do lol
Hi, I'm trying to find out about myself and my family.Great video! Can I ask a question? I noticed you were wearing a hat. I do that all the time and am particular about what I wear. I've seen it in my family, too. Is that common? Love your hat, too!
I really love your video. It helps me to understand Asp. But I really can't understand exactly why I became angry when I start to have a deep conversation with an adult who is asp. It feels like he has zero emphatic and zero social understanding.
77? I was born in '77....this could be a good omen 😂
First time I heard about autism is when I watch the Extraordinary Woo Yong Woo, and so I think I can understand her behaviour and I do that kind of behaviour. I noticed that I'm being more weirder each day, I'm waiting people standing to move from the door so I can go outside, I'm so hyperactive, I speak alien they even think that I'm a foreigner that's still learning Indonesian. I'm so childish, impulsive and I'm genius in the subjects I like, but I'm so careless, and didn't care about assignments in other school subjects that I didn't like. I'm very careless and easily lose things, my bag was open all the way when I left for school in a hurry and was almost late and then the Security guard got me. I often forget the examination so I didn't study before, I once forget the math exam, so I didn't study and yeah I forgot some of the formula, there are 5 questions, the question number 3 is a trigonometry question that my teacher never taught. So I didn't know either about trigonometry but Im sure my teacher taught the way how powers of numbers can be solved. Because I didn't study at all before the exam cause I was forget, I did the test really critically and by looking for my own solution. After the examination finished, the next day my teacher Bu Jesyich revealed our works, she said that one of my class did the number 3 right that her own self never taught us about trigonometry, And of the 10 classes she taught, there is only one student from this class was able to do number 3 correctly, so she gives us back our assignments so I from the 5 questions I got right like 3/5, and I did my number 3 correct that one with my just random solution. That's wow, my whole class think that Salsa (the smartest one, Rank 1) is the one who did that number 3, so she and the other smartest got 4/5 but they can't solve number 3. Meanwhile I just got 3/5 but I have solve the number 3. I didn't them that that was me who did number 3, and so my teacher think maybe the one who did number 3 was cheating by calculator, but brooo I was doing my exam straight in front of her, because I sit at the front, and in front of the teacher desk. I wasn't cheating that's one I hate my whole life and if I was cheat I would have been finished the whole 5 numbers. But I didn't. So although how careless I am didn't do my homeworks well (because I forget) lost things and whatever, I am genius in some objects I do like. So in 10th grade I was rank 8 and then 6, that was a bit sad caused I see my friends in the examination they are cheating even I think them the top 5, although I didn't have whole subjects in a good grades, but so I do really good in some subjects, and so yeah I didn't get much grades number as them I was even crying and sad after the examination, but I didn't tell my teacher that my friends was cheating. After the raport day I was surprised in the semester 2 like I got rank 6 it's way further better that those who cheating yesterday on the exam, so I was actually satisfied from that. Now in my 11th grade I just surprised that Im rank 1, although my PAI, Bahasa Indonesia, Sejarah, and other basics was worse from my friends that rank 2, 3 and the others, but I got really good grades in math, geography, anthropology, art, they are stuff of subjects that I love. One day I want to become an archaeologist. My friend Zahra she's very good at PPKn, Bahasa Indonesia, and others, she's the head of the class she's best at debating, speech, head of theatre extracurricular, famous and extrovert, she's so smart, active and she's my best friend, she is my deskmate. And I'm just the opposite, I'm weirdo, shy, inactive, careless, she did great in those subjects, and I didn't do those subjects good, but she didn't do math very well. She got the second rand and I got the first, I believe she's mentally smarter than me as whole I have said before, I also did careless in my works, although I don't doing really good at those, I got really good grades at math, anthropology, and geo and art and that's why how my raport got really high. I believe she's smart, and I'm smart and how my friends whole class are smart in our own way.
That's a whole shit I said too much shit, my English isn't very good and my grammar is so messy, I'm just trying to sharing, I hope y'all can understand my shit nonsense talking sharing 😂😂
Ahh the whole I want to said that, I think there's something wrong with my brain and how I behave so childish. I think maybe there is something with autism, Asperger, or ADHD, but I didn't how to get know that I have this. I don't know where to diagnose and I wouldn't talk about this to my parents of this shit. To diagnose I think it would be expensive as I don't have money as I'm a student, and I'm a villager far away from this kind of psychologist, I think maybe it's available in the city but it's kinda far and its for crazy people, people with limitations, . I'm not crazy I don't want people think that im crazy and go that place, I'm just weirdo and childish, and bad communication alien accent.
Alright one day when I'm bigger I got to the university, in the city, when I live really independent, and close to the psychologist, maybe I want to consult with them of my struggles
Hi, I love your videos, they have helped me know myself a ton! I do just want to say that the diagnosis 'Asbergers' is now not a diagnoisis. Instead it is autism. The term asbergers has intence na*i routes, which is deeply problamatic. I just want to let you know:) Love your videos!
He knows. Some countries still use Asperger's. That is why he says he still uses it.
It's not deeply problematic for the thousands of people that were diagnosed with it before the asd diagnosis existed.
@@maleficus6186 Though I understand why people are upset by Asperger sending children to their deaths.
Actually, that's just in America. In Europe and the rest of the world Aspergers is still happily used, because the distinction is too important to not be made. Also we're not sensitive to a fault like Americans. Just thought you'd like to know!
@@damarcuscolfer1485You are out of date. A fair number of European countries use the ICD -11 to classify disorders. They have removed the Asperger's diagnosis as well. So it is not only the Americans. Sorry.
Wondering if punctuality, or lack there of, or both, could be symptoms?
Many of these traits overlap with neurotypical people too
Yeah, except to the EXTENT of our reactions, and sheer number of them we tick 🤨 Unfortunately that's why so many of us slipped by undiagnosed and unsupported.
By your comment, every person who likes themself is therefore a narcissist. Do you see how that "logic" doesn't add up? Sure there will be a few, but still only a very small margin who actually happen to tick both boxes.
@@HannahRainbow88 I’ve read your comment about 5 times now and I’m still not sure if you’re having a dig or not?? 😂
I’m actually in support of everyone who may be on the spectrum
@@moxon80 it wasn't an insult to you, but the "logic" some people jump to from it... Like yes at face value it's true, BUT beyond that there are some people who've used it in dismissive / minimising phrases at ND people. It's about the tone used: statement or implication. Sorry I'm not great at phrasing things.
Yes because we are all human so we all share the same traits but in autism is more intense. For example most of us are bothered by loud noises but for an autisitic the loud noise can be a lot more bothersome and cause a meltdown.
Yeah the list was a bit of a stretch to be honest, felt like multiple entries with only slight variations were used to pad out the numbers.
Cheers I got 64 out of 77 Pity it wasn't a test
I know!😂
So.... what usually happens after one gets diagnosed? 🤔
I have them all
Wow, I could relate to some of the things listed even though i dont have this disorder. Btw i had my headphones on and in the background of this video theres track playing repeatedly as if someone is inhaling & exhaling, it distracting
what about a difficulty in paying attention to this video holyyyyy
Game. Set. Match. I've watched other vids from this OP and loved them. This one I stopped at #11. Sensory overload. And it surprised me coming from someone with Asperger's. It really made me question his insight or his ability to learn from all his info and actually do something that helps Aspies, not blows their minds out of the water.
Couldn’t watch due to the music and talking at same time. Anyone else have this difficulty?
This video just shut me down completely. It was annoying a.f.
How many, and which, of these symptoms can be masked by co-occurring ADHD?
So basicly Im a bot with no emotions. I kinda like it, dont care as much anymore but still its sad to know that you basicly whole life is or you walk with support or try to do it all on your own but we all know how this goes. So yea. Any suggestions on how to improve in these times
It’s a confidence and self belief thing. I can help with this with coaching
You are not a bot with no emotions. All humans have emotions. Even all of us with Autism. We might have a hard time understanding our feelings. We also might show them differently than other people. But we still have feelings. You are not doomed.
@@Catlily5well said 😊
Ok, I've counted about 40, that I relate with in one or another way, and also there were some that I'm not sure about
I can’t reed lower case letters or write them
My problems were mainly 65-72, 74, 76 but I worked them out.
I had started to watch but got bored after the first 5 since I realized you were just going to list them.
Wow, Daniel, thank you. That was amazing and insightful.
Thank you so much for the comment!
Could someone get wrongly diagonsed with generalised anxiety disorder, when it could be asbergers. My adult child was diagonsed with this and adhd, ocd agoraphobia but most of the symptoms you have listed i can see in my child, except he was good a sports .,and has an adult cousin with asbergers.
There is always a possibility that a diagnosis may be wrong. Not saying it is but diagnosing neurodevelopmental issues and mental health issues isn’t an exact science and depends heavily on the clinician, the patient and their cooperation.
It may also be the right diagnosis but not complete diagnosis.
If the treatment isn’t working for them and/or if they feel like maybe asd covers more it’s reasonable to ask for a second opinion or an additional evaluation.
People say i cant use my Autism as a crutch or excuse...so how do i explain to a person who gets physically aggressive just because he doesnt like my verbal expression
Interesting. The first thing I did when I discovered I have Asperger's was to play that "Kramer at the dentist then the Mel Torme concert" goofy acting role. And I did/do see a tendency to "overplay" the Dx a bit, but that's only because after having LIVED it and all the consequences for over 68 years, I feel it's my right to claim: "I'M PROTECTED BY THE ADA (Americans with disabilities act)". 😉
