We learned so much making this episode of Spectrum! What was your favorite moment of the episode?

In our approach to developing ideas for the first drop of 2020, we wanted to dig just a bit deeper into topics of empathy in relation to our everyday lives. This collection explores judgement and how often we try to make sense of others at a surface level. As we endlessly scroll past the faces and lives of others, we forget the complexities behind the people. Keep searching beyond the surface, stay curious + embrace empathy.

"my body and brain sometimes work against each other"

This statement means more than people might think.

"I can't change the way I am, so I don't want people to pity me. I want them to understand."
- Joseph
Well said Joseph!

The problem itself is not autism, it’s a society’s lack of understanding toward it. most people have a very discriminatory attitude towards it, unfortunately, if you wanna succeed in your career or dating, your best option is to learn to suppress it

I really like how they included someone without an 'official' diagnosis, so many people are unable to be diagnosed with what they have, myself included.

My man aint verbal, but his quotes are speechless

It makes me so sad that Joseph has a hard time making friends because he’s non verbal, he seems so kind and intelligent

I was diagnosed at 8 but I was told last year that all of a sudden my autism was "cured" because I had too many friends to be autistic. Funny thing is all of my friends are either on the spectrum or was "adopted" by a friend of a friend. The fact that it's extremely common for doctors to dismiss an autism diagnosis due to the social factor as well as being a person of color is extremely messed up.

[ColaKitty]

The issue isn't making friend it's keeping them. They asked a bunch of young people, I wish we had older voices in that crowd because I'm willing to bet the social butterflies don't keep in touch with all of their friends very often, or do it in waves, and forget about time.

"We are all special." My mans Joseph spittin straight facts

Can we also appreciate Christopher coming to speak despite his social phobia? Boss move, I'm proud of him!

[latinasawntop]

One of the worst things for an autistic person to go through is being undiagnosed throughout all of their childhood. For years and years as a toddler and a little bit older I showed SO many signs.. my mum knew something was wrong and so did my teachers but no one ever looked into it. It’s caused me so much harm for that reason. Had to leave school a few years ago because of it. Finally got a diagnosis a few weeks ago.

Controversial opinion: As someone with autism I would 100% rather NOT have autism. I would give anything to be normal and understand people. Autism made me permanently an outsider, delicate, an over thinker, a never ending stream of cringe. I'd sell my creativity in a heartbeat if it meant I could be at a party and not wear my heart on my sleeve.

[madisontylyn]

My heart broke when Christopher said that people in the audience whisper “is he special or not” :( I’m glad he found something he’s passionate about though, I I hope acting continues is to bring him lots of joy 💛

[Rasbiff]

Man, I felt for Christopher not having been diagnosed, especially when he said "who's going to diagnose me?" I feel the frustration, man.

[skittlepuff]

What she said about autism not being the obstacle, but the neurotypical world around us being the obstacle. Now THAT was truth.

[jillsarah]

I'm not on the Autism spectrum but I am a member of the disability community and am neurodivergent and I can relate so much to this. The disability community is so diverse and beautiful and awesome.

[noaholson]

For a guy who is nonverbal he has such a way with words
I salute to you man

[marleyalexandra]

Christopher broke my heart, just seeing how lost he looks ... when they asked about the diagnosis. i hope a doctor sees this a decides to give him the clarity he needs. 🤍

[duller]

I feel so bad for Christopher he seems so nice and kind and he really deserves friends
