1. Stimming.
This is a self stimulatory behaviour behaviour that is presented like patterns of flapping hands, rocking back and forth.

2. Strict Routine.
People with Aspergers syndrome, stick to a very rigid daily routine, and they love to stick to routines.

Eating the same foods day in day out is a very common sign of Aspergers. Having a very small selection of foods that they enjoy is very common.

4. Echolalia.
Repeating words from overs, or from TV or from movies is a form of what is called echolalia.

Socialising is very difficult for people with Aspergers as the unspoken rules of social communication.

6. Sensory Sensitivity.
Hyper or Hypo sensitivity to sensory input is a huge sign of Aspergers syndrome.

Taking things literally is a massive sign of Aspergers this makes it difficult for a person with Aspergers to identify when someone is telling a joke or being sarcastic.

Sarcasm is actually something many aspies understand quite well, sometimes even better than NTs.

[justincase]

This is my son! We have not had him officially diagnosed because we don’t want him singled out. He has adapted to the normy world quite well but still has all of these aforementioned traits. I’ve researched Asperger’s extensively and he is no doubt aspie! He is my gift from God!

[RetrnRetrn]

I had an issue with my university's HR department when they heard through the grape-vine that I had Asperger's. They called me in so I could explain why I lied about having an autistic disorder, on my employee profile. I told them the question asked if I wished to declare autism as a disability, and I answered no because I don't consider it a disability. As my parents told me....I'm different, not disabled.

[eloquentia]

I work with someone who has Aspergers, so I came here to improve my communication with them.

[dlibby]

My friend says I talk "at them" and only talk about what I'm interested in. And been rubbing my feet and hands together since small. Hate police sirens, perfumes, textures in my mouth, and heat. Hate people in my personal zone. Take things literal. But hey, that's who I am.

[shahyali]

I'm an integration teacher, I help kids with autism to get integrated into regular classrooms. I'm specialized in special education. Your channel helps me a lot in understanding my kids more on a personal level not just what we learned from books academically. I use a lot of your advices with them and it really helps. Thanks man <3
Keep it up 👍👍

You always make me realise that I’m not alone. Thanks man, we’re gifted 🙏🏻

[plissabarrett]

I'm here because you help me understand myself better. Because of your videos I understand why I do what I do and I don't hate myself anymore or selfharm and I don't want to suicide myself. I'm finally comfortable with myself and don't feel like a flawed individual. You helped me like myself and accept myself and be comfortable with myself. I can't thank you enough. Because of you and your videos I know I'm okay, a little different, but okay different! 🖤

With my neurological challenge of having Asperger's syndrome, I sometimes cannot stop myself giving in to the worrying and neurosis that makes me overshare my private internal thoughts.

[marigold.]

The worst thing is when you're trying to find out whether or not you're an aspie and take in all this information, because I tried sharing my knowledge to my family, but I'm so socially awkward and have a hard time communicating, so they won't even help me get a diagnosis 😔

[gones]

I was diagnosed with aspergers around 7 years old, and I have 0% social problems. I understand social cues, expressions, and it's down to the point where I can tell how someone is through speech patterns or how they sound or look. Very very little things people without asperger's wouldn't even touch on. I question if I even have it sometimes.

[katieking]

I’ve never been diagnosed or even suspected by anyone until my husband started seeing symptoms show up in both himself and myself. He sent me your video and I’m actually blown away by how as you are going through these symptoms, I’m identifying with each and every one. This has been very informative for me. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏

[daiseychainsaw]

My partner is an aspie and this is so so validating to see and understand his world better. Thank you!!

[randallreed]

I had four Autistic kids (and a different four deaf kids!) in my first Boy Scout Troops as Scoutmaster many years ago. I found that, for some reason, I liked autistic kids and I got along well with them (and I think they were comfortable with me). I still do, years later. I think your videos are absolutely outstanding! I have a dear granddaughter who is three years old and non-verbal. We have concerns, but she is just a sweetheart, if somewhat rigid. Regardless, we will love her totally. You are doing a great service for people with concerns and your video work is first-class! Thank you! ❣❣❣

My son has just been diagnosed with Aspergers. It's such a relief to finally have answers for him. He is 9 and I have been fighting to have him looked at for this since he was 4. It took him starting to really struggle in the classroom at school, for the doctors and teachers to actually take me seriously. So frustrating, because I have always known, and nobody would listen. Now I can finally get him the resources he needs, and the tools I need to help him. Everyone talks about autism and how to cope, but there isn't much information out there as to how to effectively parent a child with these issues. I felt completely lost and alone, with no clue as to how to help him for so long. I'm praying that this diagnosis provides us both with what we need to help him thrive.

[kimsmith]

I am so glad to find you videos, Dan. I have a son whose life was definitely high functioning Asperger’s according to what I have learned from you. In the US we could not get a diagnosis, rather we got many conflicting diagnoses! It was a heartbreaking life and at 36 he had had enough and ended it. Now my daughter has a 9-yr old son who has most of the traits you have explained, but she does not want a diagnosis. I was startled that in UK you have people who can intervene and teach integration strategies. I feel mortality is difficult for everyone and we should have compassion for all, including ourselves.

[callousHeart]

I have been diagnosed with high functioning asperger's when I was 11, but the doctors, school, and psychologists werent in agreement of their versions of the diagnosis. I was placed in social therapy, which helped me how to "act" altruistic and how to understand social cues. It also helped me with the routine issue that aspies have, cuz I had strict schedules and hated being interrupted.

Along with learning how to cope with the stress of changes in my routines, I also learned how to have alternative routines, instead of just the one single routine, for when common interruptions happen.

Like lunch break at work, I always buy it at work. My main routine is get a turkey wrap, grab a red bull zero (or iced green tea, if I didnt need the caffeine) and a choco mousse (I like a sweet treat with lunch), then go sit at the back of the cafe where is dark. Sometimes they are out of one of the foods I get, or the line is too long, cutting into my precious 15mins of lunch, or my spot is taken. So I have alternatives. No turkey wrap? Shrimp nigiri. No red bull zero? monster zero. No sweet treat? Green apple. Spot taken? I have two other preferred spots.

It's like a weird compromise in my head. We cant do main routine, and I know that fucking sucks, but here are acceptable other routines that we can still do. I'm still bjm hurt, but in not panicking or angry about it like when I was 12. Early therapy can help.

I'm 3 years late to the party here but needed to share. I was 28 when it was brought up that I was probably on the spectrum, which absolutely explained so many of my issues growing up. I have a few other issues compounding who I am. ADHD for sure, Aspie Syndrome, Anxiety. I came here and to the channel "How to ADHD" to help myself as well as my kids. 2 of my 4 are on the spectrum in various ways. When I was a kid it wasn't something you got help for or ways to live with it to succeed, it was "Whooped" out of me. I spent years wondering why I was broken and hated who I was. Now that I know more about who I am and how to work with it not against it, I am much happier. I am medicated, and it's helping me relate to my girls more. We can work forward not against. Thank you for providing amazing content. You and Jessica are amazing and I adore your channels.
