      After graduating and being the most social person i can be. I realized people in highschool are going to be useless in your life no matter how great you make em to be.
      You stay true to yourself and keep working on you. You'll realize your desire to getting to know people will disappoint you as many of them will not be genuine or for your better good
      Thats coming from someone with a tremendous dream to try to change people and provide a way out for them...years of trying it never worked. Take my lesson

    I'm autistic and I've never really heard anyone say this to me before. It's nice. In summary, I have high IQ and I'm basically a puzzle and science prodigy, but drastically lack in other stuff like empathy, social skills, and understanding what actions have what affects. I'm able to answer every science question in class without paying attention but I also failed to realize that lighting stuff on fire would land me arson charges. I also find it hard to work on stuff I don't care about, but I'm extremely efficient in stuff I do. Alot of people tell me to get it together and how I'm just a waste and I understand that I gotta get alot of stuff down or I won't do well, but it was nice to be told it's alright to be me for once. It was nice

      I'm autistic and the only people who have said this to me were other people on the spectrum. I specifically have PDD-NOS and I'm easily able to memorize things like random history facts, but I can't memorize people's names, or tell people apart by their faces (occasionally I'm able to tell through skin tone and hair cut, but as soon as you have a different hair style I can't tell you apart anymore). I have empathy, but I don't understand what I did to hurt a person until either they or my mom (my mom in the event I don't know the person well) tell me what I did.
      I once saw a character on TV who claimed to have autism but immediately after saying something mean she would say "sorry, Aspergers." I'm still mad about that character because we don't normally realize until someone else tells us, not immediately after.

    My 2-year-son has recently been diagnosed autistic. We,my family, have really been fed up these days. But suddenly I discovered that all my son's symptoms match those with mine when I was a kid. All my struggles throughout the journey of my life have a keen connection with all the predicaments he experiences now at this point of life. I can now sharply realize that I have had autism too. Learning with time and realization, I have somehow managed with it happily in life.
    I solemnly beg all your prayers for my son so that at least he can reach upto 'my level' some day to compete with the harsh reality of this ambiguous life.....

    I have autism and i am very good at recognizing patterns and then executing them, i have an ability to find a pattern for pretty much everything in life and apply it when i need it. This helps me with doing the things that autistic people always struggle with. Using patterns is very effective because i'm really good at observing things like other autistic people. I can pretty much do anything as long as i find the pattern to do it. I feel like this is really a next level way of learning things and understanding things that people who don't have autism will probably never be able to do.

    “Every day I have to struggle to pretend to be normal.”
    Well, I don’t think you have to. Coming from a person who has Asperger’s syndrome, I can say the best way I found to deal with my ‘uncommon brain-wave’ as I call it, is to just accept and embrace it. This may not work for you, but it has done wonders for me. Don’t act normal, don’t try to hide it. If you need to stim or have an episode, just do it, as if nobody’s watching. Talk people’s ear off for hours on end about why it’s so great to be autistic! Just embrace your difference and take comfort in the fact that YOU could be then next Einstein, or Hawking, or Tesla.

    As a person that is diagnosed on the spectrum, it is very hard for me to communicate with people in a crowd. Sometimes I don't know if I should say a certain word, or if it's something to say at the right moment. During my early childhood, it was really difficult to make conversation but over the years it has improved a lot.
    Music has always been my gift. I could hear a song and play the entire song on any instrument by ear.

    What's described in this video is called masking to fit in and that is extremely counterproductive for our central nervous system and damaging to our mental health and physical health. Our bodies will try to self regulate with bad anxieties/panic attacks and depression. I announced to everyone in my life and can be me every day, stimming from 6:15am until 11:30pm every day to maintain my central nervous system balance. It's a long day but that's what I need. Don't try to fit in be yourself and force acceptance, if they care about you they will accept you. I add humor to even make fun of myself because it makes me feel good to have a laugh with friends even if I'm the butt of the joke. First it's very important to accept yourself and love yourself. Don't think about what disabilities you have, think of what abilities you have that are better than the "normal" people, it will show how uniquely amazing you really are. Best of luck to all to find peace with themselves and be as happy as you can be.👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️ Autism/ADHD and empath are my gifts!!

    Learning more about autism, thank you so much for these videos!! It truly helps a lot! We recently met a teenager girl with autism and my daughter had questions in regards to her behavior. Teaching my kids about respecting people is of the utmost importance to me 🤗 so when they have questions, i like to research the subject in question and explain “better” than just giving a general understanding. My kids have also been bullied so they understand what it means to have their feelings hurt. This is why, getting to watch videos like this helps everyone be less ignorant instead of judging a person wrong, simply because we don’t know. Thank you once again 🤗

      I've been down the same road as you, coming to terms with it all but I then flipped it on it's head. Why should I struggle to come to terms with it, instead I've embraced it. Having a diagnosis has helped me so much with putting strategies in place to help me with the everyday things.
      The way I've learnt is to have routines and strategies in place. My morning routine is the same each day, or if I need to change something, then I plan it out the night before. What time do I need to get up in order to do that? If I do that I can then do these things in this order and I can then fit everything I need to do into that window.

If you actually knew anything about a brain or autism, you'd know that autism is present in the literal waythe brain is shaped, some stupid "essential oils" aren't going to change that. Your child doesn't need a "cure" he needs a parent that actually bothers to understand him and has enough empathy and intelligence to not only care for their own child, but to not believe this crap. They say we're the ones who lack empathy, but that's not true. You are. You have to be so devoid of empathy that where you see someone not being "normal", you exert all your energy to change them. Don't be surprised when your kid grows up and they're still autistic cause those "herbs" are ridiculous and they grow to resent you because the only thing those herbs changed was the way your child will see you for the rest of their life.

    It feels nice to hear another autistic person say the things I know about myself, but I never say out loud to others. Like finding out I have new undiscovered talents all the time, being able to do things with math nobody else I know can do, or amazing problem solving, high empathy, or an endless thirst for knowledge. But at the same time I have these deficits - like enormous energy required for daily mundane tasks that neurotypical people find so easy. It's funny, I thought I was dumb as a young adult, and I never considered college/university. Somebody finally convinced me to consider it, and now I'm one of the most educated people I know.

Can't do homechores (doing the laundry, doing dishes, cooking etc.) We lock him inside the house because he will be lost if we let him get out. He can't socialize. He laughs or cries randomly byhimself sometimes. He needs companion 24/7.
    One of my cousin's son (father's side of the family) has the high functioning autism (Asperger's Syndrome) He can communicate but does not see whom he is talking straight. He can socialize but in a limited time only. He rather be alone most of the time. He don't have a friend He is slow in logical reasoning. He knows money but don't know the value of each. He can do homechores and take care of his personal hygiene. He spent most of his time making life size robot rmodels from discarded carton boxes, glue and scotch tape. He also randomly laugh byhimself. He gets angry when he stays in an area with my brother and shouts these exact words "What do you think of me? I am like my Uncle!
    I also have 3 autistic 2nd cousins on my mother side of the family. Two has autistic symptoms a Mathematian and the other is inately excellent in solving physical puzzle who owns a successful vehicle shop. One has asperger syndrome with the same behaviours as my nephew but instead of robot models, he draws/paints abstract art which we don't understand but when we look at it, it automatically takes our breath away.
    I guess it runs to the family?

    Many people including our family members sees my younger brother as less capable because he has autism. But for me, I was really impressed when he paid so much attention to detail he watched the minecrafr video tutorials once. Then the whole thing he memorized.. If I were to do that it'll take me days. He built airplanes, Buildings which were very difficult to build in minecraft even helicopters etc. Very good skills! He's very smart at doing problem solvings too. Math and science I just taught him once then he gets it instantly please don't feel bad about yourselves you're special and born a genius ❤️

    I struggle having it because i struggle to connect with people like normal people do, my whole life ive felt different from everyone else, and struggle to socialize and be like everyone else and for it i feel so alone, i pretend and fake my personality to fit in, masking, but in the end, i feel miserable and alone, i feel like i cant be my true self because every time i do, no one accepts me for who i truly am, and exploits it to make themselves feel more powerful then me because either they feel threaten by me and are insecure or they see me as weaker, so they put me down to make themselves feel more superior then me, the most frustrating thing is, when people talk about normal stuff, its so boring and a waste of time for me, its the same thing over and over again, i cant feel happy like they do, i dont the normal oxytocin release like most people, so i feel isolated from everyone, i have so much knowledge about the universe and ideas that would revolutionize the world, but what is it worth if i dont feel happy in the end doing it? the frustrating part is that, im completely self aware of my flaws, i care about the people around me, but i cant express it properly, i appear like i dont care, but i do, deep down i do, but parts of me refuse to do it, and because of that, i hate myself, im so absorb in the thing i do because it helps me distract from my own issues that i cant change about myself, because no matter how hard i try to, it only results in me causing more harm in myself then good, i wish there was some treatment, a drug that would just make me feel normal like everyone else, i just wish that normal people would just spend a day in the mind of me just to see and experience how hard it is to deal with everyday life, how lonely it is, and even when people say they love you, you dont really feel it, its just words, and you look back and wonder, when was the last time i was actually happy, and not just laugh at a funny joke in a cartoon i saw, or a movie, when was the last time i felt actually happy, because i can only remember a few, but very rare moments, and i envy those who feel that everyday

      Thanks to everyone taking their time to read this testimony on how my son was saved from Autism.
      He was diagnosed four years ago, and he's just 6, I have tried several treatments and medications, nothing was working out, this got me frustrated and depressed. I kept praying and finally God answered my prayers when someone from youtube introduced me to this doctor from his home country and gave me his contact details.
      I called and explained my son's condition after which I made an order for his herbal remedy, he asked for my address and the next day I got a tracking number for a parcel sent to me through DHL and after four days I received my order.
      It was a liquid herbal medicine and a letter containing the instructions on how to use the herbs, I called him again to confirm and the next morning I started giving my son the herbs as instructed and after one week I noticed great improvement on my son and I continued until the herbs got finished and everything lasted for just one month and now my son is totally free from Autism, he can now talk clearly, behave normally and has no more seizures.
      If you've been searching for a genuine solution for Autism, connect with this honest Doctor on Whats App

    I have ADHD and Autism.
    I struggle to focus I struggle to get work done I struggle to socialize I struggle a lot with my emotions and they become uncontrollable, I struggle to work I struggle to understand others or make them understand me I'm suffering from constant dysphoria I'm very very VERY sensitive, a lot of frustrating sensitivity to sound smell taste and touch, saying touch I'm sensitive to what I touch and I'm struggling to wash dirty dishes or work in a very dirty environment,
    I'm very childish, I'm moving a lot and I'm restless.
    I have very little dopamine produce into my brain.
    I also have problems with my sleep and food, I can't sleep if I'm not comfortable at where I'm sleeping and struggling to sleep even when comfortable, I cant eat all kind of food it's very hard for me.
    (And a bonus I'm very claustrophobic and it affects me a lot)
    And with all of that my entire life no one has ever wonder if something is wrong with me, I had to search so much to understand that and tried to explain it and it was an excuse for other until I had to get a diagnosis (kind of) to make them believe me.
    I really don't want to be proud of having a disability...
    But I guess being creative, good at creating scenarios drawing beautiful pictures and creating comics, and having high average IQ make up for all the struggle and suffering right?

    I am the real Prof. Autismo, I approve my fellow autists post.
    I am autistic i do need a level of care.
    I often run into a lot of ignorance.
    I learnt how to read before i could speak.
    I watched my mums lips move and matched the sounds to sounds on tv.
    I was selectively mute and would only speak to family, sometimes grunting.
    If you have me a news paper i could of read it you if i could’ve worked out of not speaking.
    I excelled at maths, special sciences creative writing cyphers and texts patterns. I learn fast i could answer the questions on the board in 10 different ways as teacher was writing sums.
    For this i was made to be quieter if i held hand up or answer, i got corporal punishment for non pronunciations and writing with left hand.
    I got belted by teachers is what i am saying.
    I got it till it was right or next days lesson if incorrect again.
    I found myself bullied a lot. picked on names calling physical stuff forced to steal etc. usual you don’t hear about because autism is silent and we’re hidden away outta sight so the NTs feel secure and aren’t threatened by a retards intellectual pursuits.
    I had to hide for decades myself and facets of my personality because of ignorance.
    There’s tons more but i am making a point. If my fellow autistic doesn’t post on autism to educate maybe autistic people will be of value and won’t be kept at the bottom of ladder or looked at like a deformed runt.
    I am grateful for my autism and i’m not that i am perceived as a weirdo.
    My superpowers aren’t for sale.
    I am master of patterns.
    I can find 99..99 percent of continuity errors on film.
    I can memorise in the billions and more.
    and yes hugs are good.
    I am an autistic man and i am not changing.

I am in middle school at a school with ignorant kids who thinks its funny to make jokes about autism but it hurts me because it makes me think if my little sister will be accepted into this world by others, thats why I will be taking the responsibility to help her and potty train her and do as much as I can as a minor to help her. I obviously know that my parents have tried so much and love her so much but I want her to be able to wear underwear at 6 and not wear diapers. I want her to go to a school where the kids wont make fun of her behind her back, I want to meet with her teachers and tell them if they ever hurt her I will throw my hands at their faces, this video gave me such a good rundown about my sisters unique difference and now I know after watching part 1 and part 2 that I can do my best to help her, thank you!

Obviously she made it very clear that she didn’t say that I have autism, but rather that it’s a possibility and it’s something we will look at in the future. To be honest I didn’t know much about autism at all so I was really surprised when she said that. But now the more I Learn about it the more sense it makes and I definitely do show all of the symptoms. So I guess we’ll just look into it more and it may actually be true.

    A desolate place

    It’s me that I spite
    As I stand up and fight
    The only thing I know for real
    There will be blood-
    -shed
    The man in the mirror nods his head
    The only one
    Left
    Will ride upon the dragon’s back
    Because the mountains don’t give back what they take
    Oh, no, there will be blood-
    -shed
    It’s the only thing I’ve ever known
    Losing my identity

    Looking downward from this deadly height

I think every boy only wants ne just for sex and nothing else. I wish I never treated that boy that way. I wish I could've been his friend he was as smart as me and really good at science like me. I wish I actually was nice to him. I never made assumptions about autism since I had epilepsy which is another brain issue I fully support people with autism since they have a brain issue as well. I really want to be friends with someone with autism or that guy and just be their bro. But this video definitely made me pretty happy. I like this.
