No. No. No. ADHD and autism are not, "more common," in males, they are just more often recognized and diagnosed in males. AFAB people tend to go undiagnosed until later in life, if at all, because of differences in presentation as well as how parents intentionally socialize children based on AGAB.
Thank you! I put this in the video so someone would say something!!đđđ
Iâve actually met more girls with adhd. I was diagnosed along with my sister when we were very young. I think that it just varies from person to person
The girl who said that when you've lost a special interest, it feels like you lost part of yourself- I felt that. And I don't feel much, lol. I lost drawing. I've been trying to get it back. I think about it all the time. But I can barely do it.
Sounds kinda like you'd be able to get it back. I played the flute for years, then didn't touch it for years, now I play it again. I'm often in a state where I want to draw but don't wanna draw any subject I come up with. I've associated that with my skill level. I don't want to draw anything too easy, but I don't want to draw anything too difficult either. So I need to find something that I've gained slight confidence in but don't know inside and out. And sometimes it pays to just let it go and stop trying to force myself.
Me too with makeup
I feel the same way, also with drawing. Trying to get an art degree just really killed it for me, and it feels like I lost a part of myself. I'm also trying to get back into it, but it's hard to just sit down and do it, and I need in-the-moment excitement to jumpstart it.
As someone who is both ADHD and autistic:
Special interests: Drawing/art, animals, magic.
Hyper fixations: So many cartoons and videogames that either do or dont relate to my special interests.
Me to but with painting
The one using My Little Pony FIM characters is so accurate. The best thing about it is that those three characters are part of the Mane 6 which are the primary cast, and Twilight is the main character. Some say Twilight also shows OCD, but that doesn't jive for me as all her OCD-like traits could also align with Autism. Overall MLP FIM has really good rep in the show without ever saying the names ADHD or Autism.
I've maybe seen a total of 3 half episodes of FiM, years ago, but I could totally call which one would be which. Just another example of my brain picking up random tiny details that will never actually be useful in life, but given the right trigger, I'll fuckin' pull it up again.
@@bodkie I watch a lot of kids' media because I prefer animation and it gives me a way to connect to my nieces & nephews, so I actually watched the entire show and all its add-on/spin-off content. When taken all together every character in the Mane Six shows some kind of non-typical trait, and it's not always seen as a strength either so there's no hiding that these things can cause problems; yet, by the end of every episode it's been accepted and sometimes even given accommodation by their friends.
That happens in the secondary cast too. There's a younger pegasus who is overtly disabled and uses an accessory to help make up for it, literally a mobility scooter. Even otherwise average seeming characters will have episodes dealing with imposter syndrome and feeling othered by not meeting expectations.
I just can't express how well it was done overall, even when it was a little too direct in places it still manages to do it in a way kids get. It's a great tool for explaining non-typical things to children.
same, Iâve never really read twilight as having OCD either. honestly it feels like people labeled her with OCD based off of OCD stereotypes of being organized and logical. autism makes way more sense
@@kneptoon03 Especially that scene many use where AJ nudges an ink pot out of line and it makes a tiny sound, Twilight startling makes more sense as a sensory sensitivity than the OCD a lot of people read it as.
Was my hiperfixation for kindergarten to second grade it was my whole personality lol
when they put music over the talking đ we've all got ADHD/autism here, how are we supposed to process the words đ
it is made out of dumb hoho
The worst is when they put the crappy recorder music that's bad on purpose, it's literally painful
Or they put words up on the screen, so we now have to read and try and block out the noise, and there will be like a thousand word sentence but its only on the screen for 2.45 seconds so you have to keep pausing the video to even read it.
If it wasn't for the subject matter I would have stopped the video immediately. I hate it when there is music combined with narration!
Iâm glad someone finally pointed this out đ„Č i thought it was just me having an immensely hard time.. having to pause every time the text changes or repeating the video over and over just to understand whatâs happening
me, who relates to everything that is being said in both the adhd and autism parts: đ đ đ
*gives you a rock to play with
@@SiliconBong You just made me remember that I always liked rocks and still collect some⊠and uh oh the realisation
Me, who also relates to both, but also relates to that combination of emoticons: đ đ đ Hey there friendo
Also me in self denial:
(@ u @)
They often come together so its not that surprising
I'm All of the little ponies and I don't even know wtf that is... And that "Male Vulnerability" is only because of sexism.
My "favorite" part of my combined ADHD/Autism is that the autism is like, "routine routine routine", but the ADHD is like "A) routines are more like suggestions, and B) doing the same thing everyday is _boring_ I want to do something different."
I am pretty sure I am also autistic but my doctor thinks it's just ADHD severe anxiety and depression that makes it just seem like autism. I also have really bad misophonia but the doc chooses to ignore that too ugh!
To be fair, at least she wasn't too dismissive. She said autism was a possibility and ik lots of doctors are much more dismissive than this.
Edit: I also have CPTSD which I have not discussed with my doctor because it is too painful to bring up. I actually have only told one of my best friends. (I tried saying something to my other best friend one time and she said something along the lines of "you never fought in a war" and I never brought it up with her again)
Ugh⊠cptsd is from repeated trauma. Not just war ffs.
Everyone talking about masking, meanwhile my ADHD/autistic ass didn't even realize I was SUPPOSED to fit in while growing up, much less HOW. I kinda learned to hold myself back a little in middle school so as not to stick out too much, but I never did quite figure out the whole changing my behavior to fit what was socially expected of me. I think I do a little of it now as an adult, but it's a fairly new thing for me, actually.
I knew I loved my little pony for a reason, growing up.
one time i had a hyperfixation on wings of fire for two years.
and then i just. stopped??? and switched to a different thing.
and after a while. i stopped. again?? and switched to the current thing im hyperfixated on right now lol
it sucks living somewhere where people believe you can't have both which means I'll likely never be diagosed with adhd despite obviously having it, because I am already diagnosed with autism.
Why would people think you can't jave both?
"It's like there is a tornado in my brain, and I'm confused all of the time!"
I delve yet again deeper into figuring out what i am
The girl at 14:00 was in 3 separate clips, but her audio was so bad that I skipped over all of them. She got that loud, low quality mic. Very grating to the ears.
Thank you so much for this comp! I'm gonna have the beginning of my assesment tomorrow so this really helped relieve so anxiety â€
I just googled Autism vs. ADHD because I have ADHD, and this pops up in my recommended! Thank you so much for this video
I've been wanting to find a difference for these for a while! Thank you!đ€
iâm diagnosed with ADHD but i believe i also have autism
Same here. I never even considered that i might have autism until recently. A lot of my past and current behavior is very indicative of autism.
@@madisonsines7086 same with mine. iâm hoping at some point i can get diagnosed.
@@im.del_usional im planning on asking my doctor the next time i see him if i can get screened for autism. Not much can really be done but i just need to know. And if i do it would explain a lot of my past and current behaviors. The earliest example i can think of when i comes to possible autistic behavior is that i would cry when my mom would sing lullabies to me as an infant so she would have to sing pink floyd to me instead. Specifically comfortably numb and goodbye blue sky, funny enough those became my comfort songs when i discovered "the wall" in my teen years. I also didn't walk until i was over a year old and didn't speak until i was 3. When did finally speak it was in full sentences. I literally when from communicating through grunts to having the vocabulary of someone older than me overnight.
Honestly going back through my childhood memories and remembering all the things i did as a child and even now, it just screams autism.
My son (23) did the grunt to straight talking thing as well. â€ïžâ€ïž Heâs on the spectrum.
@@madisonsines7086 the only things i can think of are sensitivity to sound, being picky about certain foods, anger outbursts, my academic performance, and special interests.
This video was really helpful in explaining the nuance
Iâm getting more and more convinced that I have both now lol
watching this makes me realise that i might have both autism and adhd-
it is weird, social rules, is designed by neurotypicals, and us neurodivergents, tries to follow their social rules, when our way to percieving social encounters, is so diffrent. I think we are designed to socialice in a diffrent way. thats why we get anxiety socialising with neurotypicals. I have never had any anxiety or uncomfort, socialising with people that has aspergers, as I do. I think we simply have our own social rules. and in this regard, neurotypcials tend to fail social rules that relate to us, and thats why we feel anxiety. just like neurotypicals, feel uncomfortable, when we dont follow their social rules.
Great video!! Something a bit ironic though; I was surprised that thereâs some music playing in the background on parts, which can make it difficult for someone like me with ADHD to focus on whatâs being said. đ Otherwise, very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you. Ya i donât know why they put the music in the background. I donât have the technology to extract it right now. I try to only find ones without music but itâs very hard. I have severe adhd also so i find the captions do help.đ
From watching this video Iâm pretty sure I have both lol, I was supposed to get tested last week but the person(therapist?) got Covid
1:17 wtf does stabbing in the brain meanđ I donât understand figurative language very well please someone helpđ„
The sound is so apparent, loud or distracting that it literally hurts inside your head or deep in the ears. :o And stabbing is often used as a descriptor for a sharp pain.
@@Gnomereginam oh ok that makes sense. I sometimes get some pain in my ear from loud sounds itâs not lasting though. But yeah I just have the getting distracted because my pain is when itâs loud.
Idk why Iâm watching this I have both
wow, now i definitely have to talk to my psychiatrist abt seeing if i have autism
I have autism level 1, I think I might have ADD as well because I do get distracted easily (commonly daydreaming), am extremely forgetful (I forget names all the time and where I put stuff which causes me great distress). I do hyperfocus and I do have some shows that I watch that are just a temporary interest (they donât become a special interest). I donât think I have the hyperactive part because I went pretty well in school I only just needed some extra time due to my slower processing speed. But the rejection sensitive dysphoria, I relate to that hard and I had low confidence for years. Iâm getting better at confidence and have started recently to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people while also being wary of red flags in both friendships and romantic relationships. Iâm just being myself more but Iâm still not entirely comfortable telling everyone about my gender yet, itâs hard. I know I definitely have anxiety and ocd as well, my main barrier to getting diagnosed is money.
Me with both of them itâs literally musical đ¶
Asbergers lol! 12:14 itâs Aspergers. And not pronounced how Cartman says it in South Park
Ass-burgers. Lol!
Yeah Iâm starting to think I have ADHD along with my Aspergers. Iâm 31 and I donât seems to fit in the ASD community cause as much as I love routine and need them to be mentally safe my brain just bounces and deflects off tones of things all at once. Plus the forgetfulness. I canât do time and I can not for the life of me remember how to manage something if I donât see it.
Answers a lot of questions
Actually, aspergerâs is not a thing anymore. Itâs just autism. Itâs all a spectrum and we are all just on the spectrum somewhere. Aspergerâs is actually a harmful term as it comes from nazi germany.
I have ADHD and my sibling has autism heh
Genuine question i've had for a long while, can people with ADHD have special interests? I do absolutely hyperfixate, but also I have a many year long reoccurring interest in one thing(from like the moment i found that) that has consistently remained really interesting, and I'm Always down to talk about it. It certainly feels like a different kind of interest from my hyperfixes (not *as* intense or fleeting) and its not a normal interest (still too intense/not casual at all, and I cant put it down the same way). Its a really important interest to me too and is like waay more impactful than my hyperfixes, even abt similar things
so could I call that a special interest instead? I do relate a lot w some autistic traits but that may be other comorbid things since I was tested and just got adhd.
(and well i'm here, whats the difference between being nonverbal/semiverbal and being selectively mute?)
Iâm not too sure. You may need a second opinion or you might just be super interested in something. Non-verbal means you canât express what you are feeling and thinking. Selectively mute (I get that) is like I just donât have the emotional or mental or even physical energy needed to speak. đ. Iâm not a doctor though so donât listen solely to me!đđ
@@OneSpicyDisaster thx for the reply anyways! my experience w/ whatever i have tends to go for uncomfortable topics or ones i have anxiety about where i just...physically cant talk if i get too stressed! and sometimes it lasts for a while afterwords too. i ask bc adhd is not linked to having nonverbal episodes apparently and im wondering how many autistic traits i actually have
Iâm in the same boat!đ
â@@OneSpicyDisaster its really nice to find someone who relates lol! i'm just sort of in a state of questioning multiple disorders and all of them overlap in the most annoying ways, y'know? i got Symptoms. do you know any docs or sites I could go to for researching selective mutism?
@@jellyie3806 this is for children but it applies to everyone Iâm sure! đđ www.anxietycanada.com/articles/myths-about-selective-mutism/
1:16 it is possible to just have some symptoms of both iâve got a few autism symptoms but i donât have it
Who else hates micro fiber towel texture
Ive both itsâŠsomething lol
7:10 the lady be gate keeping the term masking?!? What the hell, What the hell. Super annoying. You don't own the word.
Masking is a whole trait of neurodivergency, and you're mad that she... explained that?
@@Bubblegum-xm5cg no. she says that the term masking comes from the autistic community and that other neurodivergent peoples ought to use the term "facing" as if one group of people experience masking in only one spicific way and the other group of people only experiance it another spicific way and there isn't any variation from individual to individual. The same video had other people saying you can have both adhd and autism, so which term are you allowed to use if you have both? I have adhd, and i'm 99.99% sure i'm also autistic so this info matters to me personally. I do have a referral in to get diagnosed. I never said i was angry, i just found it annoying. None of the books i've been reading have made any such distinction between different types of masking, so a reference of where she got her info would be nice so people like me could further educate themselves. I think probably she is just learning about this stuff herself and is just sharing her thoughts on the subject. Gatekeeping is when someone makes up rules to empose on others when we are or aren't allowed to do or say something based on their criteria or preferance without being an actual authority on the subject. They don't have the right to dictate another person's behavior... its false authority. Sorry for ranting. Just a little anoying, but i do very much appreciate these videos. This one and a few others lead me to the conclusion that i'm autistic, a major life epiphany for myself.
@@Sarcasmarkus Oh, I must've missed that bit. I thought she was talking to a NT person. My bad.
@@Bubblegum-xm5cg thats fine. I kind of suck at making comments on CZcams. I get focused on one tiny detail that most people miss, i make a slightly sarcastic comment about it, then it gets turned into an argument. In person i can calibrate better to who i'm speaking with and the context i'm in and I'll use a heavily sarcastic tone of voice to imply i'm playing around, to help avoid being misunderstood but that doesn't work on the intertubes.
@@Sarcasmarkus I get that. S'all good tho. I personally have trouble interpreting what people mean in a text/comment/etc from misreading it. :)
I love your chanel but you make me question my ability to human
