My name is Christian Swenson. I'm a 29-year old autistic man with interests in philosophy, art history, and all sorts of things. I made this channel to talk about the experience of autism from an autistic perspective. Autistic consciousness isn't normal consciousness. The autistic world isn't the normal world. I want to explore that world with you.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this.
I have never been diagnosed and only recently have started to understand who I am. Your videos are a goldmine of ideas and feelings I have struggled to articulate my entire life.
I really appreciate you putting this content out there, you have done an amazing job with this channel! I hope you are well and wish you all the best in whatever you set out to accomplish!
This resonated with me so much, I don’t have words to describe it. But thank you for sharing yours
this is me every single day. I haven't been able to work or study for a decade now. meanwhile the pressure builds up because I have to catch up a race i will never catch up and in turn it blocks me even more.
@Pablo Moreno Cordón thank you for the support. I believe trying is what got me to where i am today in the first place. I burned out really badly in 2012-2014 and suffer from occasional aphasia and chronic fatigue and ptsd as a result. i lost my joy for my special interests as everything is too complicated and painful to pursue even for my personal enjoyment.
This is my experience. Like.. my body is just a bunch of parts jumbled together and it hurts to try and coordinate everything. Its difficult. And that's just on the physical limbs. All the mental, emotional and mechanical parts of my brain are scrambled. Organizing them and understanding them is out of grasp
uhhhh this feels a little too relatable to me.... very amazing and engaging essay tho! as an ND teenager that just doesn't have a diagnosis but is secretly looking into autism because I'm kind of desperate, this was really interesting and thought provoking :3
I am in this exact position right now and have been here before. I have been stuck in my car for 50 minutes, waiting for something to compel me to open the car door and get out.
also, for context, no i am not diagnosed, but autism and neurodivergency make so much sense- they explain nearly my entire existence
Spot on
Thank you
So true! So true! Thank you so much! ☂️
