Thank you very reassuring and informative from a parent of a son with autism.

[j.b.]

Thank you for being so open about the topic. 1:20, I’m also a chronic masturbator. It helps me regulate, and calms my mind. I think it’s the dopamine that I’m after.

I wish there were videos on the nitty gritty things with autism, its not always peachy, we need more honesty.
I hate coming across documentaries were 90% of the times its just "o m g we are not disabled blah blah, im proud to have autism blah blah"

Why are neurotypical people finding this video funny ? This is a video for you guys to understand what we neurodiverse people go through everyday.

Quite informative video. She explained it succinctly very well. I appreciate too that with specific examples of her son's behaviour, I love that she pointed out the differing logic between people with ASD and people of the general population. Both come to a subjective valid conclusion in their own minds, but misunderstandings, "mismatched logic" if you will often leads to problems.

By and large it is not the person with ASD at fault, or deviant or whatever. It's a sensing, perceiving, therefore reasoning and communication difference between NT people and NaT (Neurologically A-typical) folk.

Basically, both sides need to understand and have support to build the bridge to meet in the middle.

Thanks very much for sharing video. Easy to watch. Straightforward laidback demeanor. 🙏🏼

As a trans autistic woman. This really helps me understand that it’s NOT just the hormones. It’s a STIM that helps regulate. I can also speak that when I was an adolescent. I was chronic as well and practiced my sexuality, very unhealthy. I felt like a monster. I’m much more sex positive/smart now in my later 20s. Just took learning, with a very late autism diagnosis

My boyfriend has autism, very helpful. Thanks

[FullMentalHarmony]

I wish my parents had these conversations with me

[D-MF-L]

Seriously, very informative, thank you.

My parents told I could do it only being alone, My preference was humping the bed, so my Mom asked me to use a dirty T-Shirt instead pf the sheets. I did not do it constantly but enough. However there was this boy in the neighborhood that did it any place he could lie down and do it till completion. I do think the school had a talk with his parents because it toned down to where he might get caught, might not! I have a relative that does it against the floor often clothed, he suffers from autism. Not sure if he will ever beat the autism, he can very sociable or not sociable depending on his mood!! Autism is much more than a child masturbating, the family works around the child to maintain the child's needs.

I’m autistic and telling every autistic person (even though your not autistic) that parents should treat there kids like there special needs when not all of them are and not all autistic people are the same.

[linandy]

Thank you. I need to have this conversation

[masterchef]

What’s wrong with watching porn hub at three in the morning when you can’t sleep

[LAWLI_O_NEKO_UNICORNIO_かわいい]

As an autistic person, I could not stop laughing sorry Im too childish for this😭

[thundercheif]

I just here to say we own the spectrum

[theforeteller]

Is it common for a 6 year old old girl to do it??? I don't know how to deal with this.

[b-sideplank]

thanks so much. we're having trouble figuring out how to teach it. the male autistic child is 10yrs of age and having erections. But recently this has gone beyond just the physiological reaction of getting an erect penis, but he's clearly having urges. but he doesn't know what to do. how to actually teach him what to do? should you try to teach "it" at all, or wait a little longer, perhaps a couple of years more? it's very hard to know what to do.

edit: also I should add that a lot of the information in seeing is relating to verbal autistic kids. but in our case (my nephew) is minimally verbal (understands but doesn't speak fully except in segmented sentences and words mostly, sometimes fill sentences, but can't have normal conversations. affirms something by repeating and that kind of communications)

[Progo]

I don’t mean to be mean, but Ai think it’s deeply screwed up that you mentioned your son’s masturbation habits in this video knowing full well that he would be deeply embarrassed, and I stopped watching the video at that point. I would be furious if my parents saw me masturbating and then decided to announce that fact to the entire world.

My mate just used to sit on his hands till they went numb so he didn't know who was yanking his crank afterwards wiped his hands on the curtains n he didn't have no therapist

[tudormiller]
