    As an Autistic girl, I think this video was really accurate. I'm so happy that people are starting to present autism in the right way ๐Ÿ™
  • I have learned over and over again that when it really comes down to caring no one does
  • My 1 year old brother just got diagnosed with autism but it doesnโ€™t sound that bad thankfully this video was very helpful as someone who never experienced this or anyone around me thanks
  • I still don't exactly understand what autism is. It just sounds like someone who's socially awkward, but can't anyone be socially awkward if they are around people they are not comfortable with. Like people think I'm quiet but no I'm just not comfortable around you. If you put me around people I'm comfortable with who aren't douchebags then I will talk more

    This was almost perfect until the mention of โ€œbehavioral intervention.โ€ Behavior is communication, especially for non speaking Autistic children.

    It's really great to see such a video because I was best friends with this guy from kindergarten for more than 10 years and we are more like best friends but I never got to see how it feels for him and he gets bullied alot but thanks to him I'm still happy and we probably going to get the same job when we grow up and be ride or die buddy's

    I have been treated bad by people because my child has autism. At the school they did not want him they fought with me for years by bullying me intimidating me sending false reports about my child so they can make me take my kid out of the school. N.B. the kid is a quiet and good kid not agressive. They just did not want my child because the child has autism and they see it as problem for them so they did to us the most unkind horrible stuff. Psychological war, putting the kid in separate classroom or outside. People have done to me and him the most horrible stuff just because of autism. That was their excuse. Things i would have never imagined myself to do to anyone. I have met all of human cruelty because of my child s condition. I also entered a relationship with a person wouter van der g who i later realised only wanted to use me for free roof free food and to bring his dad to my country. And all this because his dad gerard van der g and grandma helen van sha were telling him i worth nothing because i give birth to autist kid. All these while i have found job to wouter gave him a place to live for free and cooked for him each day while i even cured an std he got cheating on me with a woman his dad gerard van der ga told him to sleep with. Also wouter van der ga has beaten me on several occasion when he wanted to go out with other women while living in my property becayse as his dad told him i worthed nothing because i have an autist child. When i took wouter to courts for his beatings and the damages to my property he has done, he put a girlfriend of his to call on social services on me on false accusations that my kid eats from the garbages. Imagine we are talking about wouter van der ga a guy who was eating each day at my house fresh food i cooked for him and he was seeing the food was fresh for him and my kid with my money. This van der ga family lived in middelburg until they came in my country on my expenses in my property.

    Our son Bradley has Autism and although he is quite intelligent he does have a complete lack of patience and no concept of time, and is pretty forgetful. Although he can be a complete pain in the arse sometimes, he can be very funny and we love him to bits.

    I have autism but Iโ€™m very much in low spectrum of it but I canโ€™t say I havenโ€™t had my own problems with it but over time Iโ€™ve become independent and can think for myself and accomplish my goals but I wouldnโ€™t be were I am today with my family and friends so to anyone with similar issues donโ€™t give up because you can be normal and you are normal person no matter what anyone says itโ€™s just we have it a little more difficult compared to everyone else but weโ€™re get through it.

    Autism is a behavioural health condition. It effects a person's ability to socialize and understand atypical behaviour witch means common behaviour. I have autism too. I was diagnosed in 2016 I was 31 years old. It's unique for all autistic people. We live in our own world. Atypical people move about in a bubble they create, autistic people have no bubble to keep boundaries. It causes stress and anxiety from the pollution atypical people create through their activities. I also have select mutism, meaning I have a fear of speaking so if I get uncomfortable with a situation I can't communicate. I have to deal with my anxiety and then try to communicate. Also, why do people complicate everything? This video has too much detail that is unnecessary. It makes it harder for people to understand autism. It's not that difficult to understand. All you need is to talk with autistic people like myself. Mostly autistic people are above average genius. Like myself. I learned on my own because no one could do it for me. I teach others how to communicate with me. Because autistic people have their own world's we can't settle well within the normal spectrum of reality. We shouldn't have to conform to the normal because we are not built to be normal. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘
  • Funny, I discussed many things that were discussed here in my channel. Iโ€™m a grown man with autism among other mental struggles and I created my channel to try and show how even with my struggles I lead a decent life. I try to show the world through my eyes and how I personally deal with struggles. Itโ€™s all in hopes that if someone struggling sees the videos it may help them. Of course I always encourage and emphasize professional help. But whatโ€™s discussed here in general is spot on. ๐Ÿ‘

    I'm just a medical student so that's why I'm watching

  • This is really good as itโ€™s well phrased and shows what it basically is by using a colour wheel
  • Basically It means life is hella unfair for you despite your artistic/intellectual advantages and you gotta try real, REAL hard to make it...unless you happen to be very lucky and live with nice people that donโ€™t just try to use, exploit and take advantage of you. ๐Ÿ˜•
  • 43 years old here. Had to pay out of pocket for my diagnosis. Anyone who claims America is this great society for all is ignorant at best. America in reality is one of the worst countries out there if you have a disability. You will only find hatred and scorn. Even from your own parents. Best to move anywhere else.
