  • Hi! I’m Claire, and this is my channel, Woodshed Theory. Here, you will find the awkward ramblings of an adult autist. I love being creative and sharing my experiences with you. Subscribe to see more DIYs, Discussions, and Bunnies on your feed!
    Today I am telling you all about the origins of my channel name. I really took some time to think about the name of the channel so I hope that you enjoy the video and information I have for you today.
    Also heads up - realized before this was released that I called Mary Shelley, Marie Shelley, throughout the video. Pretty funny actually.

    I had seen only part of the movie, but the way you described it made it make total sense. I have only recently been diagnosed as autistic & ADHD after a life of not fitting in and unknowingly masking to try to appear normal and act in what the world deems acceptable. I now am trying to work out who and what I really am.

    I totally get it. Even before my diagnoses I felt a kin to the monster of Frankenstein. I didn't fit in anywhere, society as a whole seemed to be speaking some sort of weird hidden language I didn't get. Some people didn't want to with me at all. My room was definitely my shed, from there I studied how to become high masking and hide my true self to fit in.

    "woodshed, hovel, adjoining space"
    I named my tiny old house here in the boonies of Northern Nevada the "Hovel" a few years ago, due to its (currently) dilapidated state.
    I'm glad that the name I chose now has an interesting dual meaning to me, due to this video.
    I'm hoping to make this old place the first (and hopefully last) home I've ever owned.
    It will be refurbished by me, to my own (ahem) "unique" standards of what's important and what's not, with no consideration needing to be given to who actually owns the space I occupy.
    This will be the first space I've ever had with this level of freedom, and I look forward to it!

    Omggg!! I thought the name MIGHT be after frankenstein! Frankenstein is my favorite book of all time!! I even have a wooden kind of piece of art hanging on my wall that says Frankenstein on it and an imagery of the woods he’s in before he arrives at the woodshed by the house. I read the book in swedish (since im from sweden) so i never read the english word ”woodshed” in the book so i wasnt sure about your username. But i figured it might be and it was!
    I read the book about 3 years ago, and it has stuck with me. I totally agree about the part you talked about, where the creature is peering through the hole and observing the family and learns all these things. It’s so beautiful. And also when he’s in the woods, where the world at first is blurry and he can’t really tell apart the sight and smell and feel etc of the forest and he can’t understand or integrate into the world around him. But he gets better at navigating his reality as he studies it, and eventually he becomes super eloquent and can decifer not only the material/physical world but also intricate philosophical questions. (Lol me at this moment writing this comment). And he realize the beauty of nature and life more and more, which also is a human trait. But in a considerable way he’s not like everybody else. I think one of the questions the book begs is, what is the fundamental meaning of being ”human” really? I could go on about this and you know it!!
    When i read this book i just knew it really hit home. But lately when i’ve realized i’m probably autistic, i’ve also realized the connection between autism and especially the book frankenstein, but also other outsider-themed things such as the movies the elephant man or edward scissorhands etc (other longterm faves of mine).
    Sorry for this super embarrasing comment but i’m passionate about that damn book lol and i dont know anybody who read it

    I just found your channel through your “trauma of undiagnosed autism” video and I was curious about the name. I absolutely love it! I haven’t read the book but I love the whole Frankenstein’s creature mythology and the many pop culture renditions of it, particularly the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The woodshed metaphor is perfect for describing what it’s like to be neurodivergent. There have been so many times that I so badly wished I could see what day-to-day life was like for “normal” people. If it weren’t wildly unethical I would love to just spy on people, lol.

    I had definitely made the autistic connection with why I happened to read Dr Jekyll & Hyde for fun as a 27yo (one of the few classics I actually 'got around to' when a copy of it happened to wander into my then wonderfully, turmoiltuous life) but my love for how MS's F is so much more of a rich story than you might think had not occurred to me. I definitely remember how would absolutely nerd out on it's page+ long sentences that give MS the reputation of being "descriptive & long-winded", which now makes so much more sense through the auti-lense!

    I love horror fiction. I watch six horror movies every weekend. They address my deep irrational thoughts, fears and everything that makes me different from neurotypicals. I love Mary Shelley's Frankenstein because of its organic aspects of the gothic period of disease and decay. As a neurodivergent I feel like that too and I find comfort with it as though somebody understands me. Your title Woodshed Theory certainly has that organic feel of nature such as forests and firewood. Maybe you can incorporate these elements a little more into your title or logo. I think my Frankenstein will be activated next year when I have my official diagnosis for autism. My doctor has already excepted that I am on the spectrum since my 2014 based on my psychiatrist report. Btw I think you also called Mary Shelley a 'he' lol.

    Sadly I have always had trouble reading. Not that I can't actually read, but that I do not absorb and it takes me so so long to read.
    I literally just realized in the last few days that it is dyslexia. I didn't realize it because words and letters look normal to me, but the tests for dyslexia and the results/stories of it are me 100%.
    I have auditory dyslexia and some other form that makes it hard to remember. My left and right is something I have to figure out each time I use the direction. I need to count on my fingers. And lots of other things.
    I never finished or comprehended any literary books in high school. I don't know how I passed even. My grades were not good but I was still smart.

I was diagnosed at 39 and it DID NOT ease the misunderstandings. I may take things more literally that typical humans but I don’t freak out when I don’t understand them. I’m tired of their drama and thanks to this video I will go read the book. Perhaps it will give me a different perspective of typical humans.

    I read the book about ten years ago. I also was going through a period where I wanted to read as much classic literature as possible. It makes perfect sense. My theory was that you named it after a line in a 1995 Kate Beckinsale film called “Cold Comfort Farm”, where an old woman who was living as a recluse, and was supposedly mad because she “saw something nasty in the woodshed” as a child. She mentions it a few times, but never reveals what it was. I was thinking that movie is a bit obscure, and maybe it was something else.

    I keep wanting to read that novel and just haven’t gotten to it yet (I love to read, but am terrible at getting started reading, or anything else - strongly suspect ADHD). Now I want to read it even more! I think this is a perfect name! What a great choice and metaphor!
    I recently started following Orion Kelly and watched your most recent interview with him there just now and wanted to visit your channel right away! I am not diagnosed autistic and, in fact, am only just starting to settle into thinking this may in fact be me. I have pretty firmly settled into believing I have ADHD at this point. What I knew of it a couple years ago would’ve left me laughing at anyone suggesting that I had such… but then I started learning more about the details of it and what it really looks like and how females tend to present and why they go undiagnosed so long. I have a lifelong friend that is more obviously ADHD and she never would’ve suspected either. I think I started looking more in-depth at autism as I came across facets of “real life” experiences of late-diagnosed females and how that can be so hidden from the person and their loved ones as well while I was looking more in-depth at the ADHD… I’ve gone back and forth on the autism fitting me or not, but every time I discount it because one aspect doesn’t fit as well as I think it should, I find myself coming back to it again and again. My ADHD research went along those same lines to some degree. I have had to learn more of the finer details, how different people with different personalities and experiences have experienced these things, a lot of mulling it over and pulling up memories and working over scenarios in my mind. I don’t want to latch onto something that isn’t true when I just have some characteristics but am lacking the big pieces of the puzzle. But the more I work it over in my mind and the more I learn of other’s experiences and the research into it, the more I come back to it and the better I understand it fits. I am definitely not trying to make either “fit” me. I have discounted both ADHD and ASD several times each but I keep getting drawn back to them the more that I learn. I’m not forcing anything; I’m just learning more about them... and, by extension, myself.
    Thank you and all of the others who share their personal stories and experiences and knowledge. It is immensely important!

      @@WoodshedTheory I do my reading via audiobook these days whenever possible! I avoided audiobooks for years thinking that I would completely mentally drift while listening to it and not pay attention to it. But I was selling myself short! I finally listened to an audiobook, and with occasional rewinds (which I already regularly do with other things like podcasts and videos when my mind inevitably drifts in thought), I did just fine! I don’t rewind any more than I would have to reread lines or paragraphs for the same reason for a book in print. Plus, I don’t get the physical discomfort of being hunched over a book. Although I do love physical books! I am currently in the middle of Aspergirls in audiobook form. I haven’t done much book reading/listening recently as I have been on a podcast kick, but I do tend to cycle around to whichever media form is most grabbing my attention at any given time. Just not enough hours in the day for it all! 😁
      I will go look for an audiobook version of it right now while I’m thinking of it!

    Ok, so before I watch this vid, I gotta say:
    PLEASE PIN IT SOMEWHERE that it can easily be found for newcomers!!!!!!!
    I'm thrilled that Orion Kelly sent me your way, but not being able to start off with satisfying my intense curiosity about your channel's name was certainly frustrating for me. It literally took multiple searches, after 10min of fruitlessly scouring the channel, for me to hunt down a video I highly suspected existed & wanted 1st, hehe.
    I'm excited to be here! Thanks in advance for what I'm certain will be more needed guidance as I continue to understand my life and work to get my own late autistic female diagnosis!
    P.S. I am particularly drawn to the name of the theory because my husband & I have chosen to live a different kind of..... farmsteady.. life in the rural mountain tops of the Ozarks and the relationship that one builds with the 🔥fire🔥 in a home heated by a wood stove has been one that offers SO many more valuable lessons than many people living today would ever be able imagine. These lessons come at a high price (hard work, time, sweat, burns, coldness) & have taken years for me to learn, but they hold many surprising opportunities & I believe these have done wonders for my nurodivergent brain on this bizarre planet.

    I read Frankenstein some years ago. I'd forgotten about the woodshed part. I was thinking your channel name might refer to Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. It has the line, "Something nasty in the woodshed." Perhaps she was quoting Frankenstein?
    Anyway, about a month ago, I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

    Found this channel today (via Taylor Heaton) and immediately knew the title described a channel about late-diagnosed autistics (50 years+) who had the crap beaten out of them behind the "woodshed" for displaying their traits instead of masking and conforming to neurotypical behavior. I am shocked that this channel is not named for that!
