Life as an Autistic Teen (Autism, ADHD and Anxiety)

Ellie is diagnosed with autism, anxiety and ADHD. While all her peers are getting jobs and boyfriends, she just wants to watch kid cartoons. Ellie wishes she could be more mature, but all that stuff just seems so boring to her.

A colourful person in this gray world.
She must be a perfect friend for everyone.

I was diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and anxiety. Ellie is truly lucky to have such a supportive family, and she seems so sweet/full of life!

[ScorpioFortuneTarot]

"I dont want to annoy people with something they dont care about". This sentence says so much.

My girlfriend is autistic and she's exactly like her. I adore her and I don't want to change her point of view about the life and I'm never going to press her to make anything that she don't want. We are very happy together and I couldn't imagine being with anyone else.

From one autistic young woman to another: never change, Ellie. More people will appreciate you for your ability to be your truest self as you get older, and you’ll learn to read the room and pick up on social cues more. I learned that with age.

She should have her own youtube channel, she is brilliant in front of the camera

[samsonizy]

This girl is special, special in a way where she's better than most people I have ever come across in my life.

[nealmccoy]

She seems 100 times more aware and intelligent than most people her age.

[Cristina-Ortiz]

I absolutely would have been this girl's BFF if I went to high school with her! I hope she never loses her shine. She has such a fun and bubbly personality ☺️

[SoyChaiLatte]

I love her energy❤️ she’s so bubbly and friendly and just shines.

[eva_pruiett]

I love how open and honest she is. I wanna be her friend. She seems so relatable. “Everyone needs to lighten up. Get colorful.” -Ellie

[campediem]

I feel so bad for her because her family don't listen to her when she's talking about her interests or when they just tell her to shush. as a neurodivergent person, that is one of the worst things ever for me. I hope she has friends who will listen to her talking about anime :D

[wubba-lubba-dub]

The only "problem" this girl has is that she's in high school and is dealing with trying to conform to all her peers' expectations. And those expectations are predicated on shallow social constructs formed in naive, young minds. Once she escapes that constant influence, she'll realize that there's absolutely nothing wrong with her, and that being herself is the greatest gift she can share with everyone. I love her.

[CovertExpertiseArtiMarziali]

To be honest, she looks and sounds like a freaking genius.

[eleegee]

Omg. She’s just like me. I legit almost cried when I read the description because I was like, wow - that’s me. I’m 16 and I still play with dolls, just like she still watches cartoons. Like her, it feels like there’s something I “missed”. I’ve had the exact same experience with the girls in school doing things like smoking, getting jobs and boyfriends, and me just standing in the corner being like - did I miss something? Hope this makes sense. I don’t know. This was just such a powerful video. I feel less alone now. Thank you.

What Chris said about once she's out of high school she'll find people who embrace her awkwardness, that's exactly what happened to me. Even though I didn't get diagnosed til I was 24, it still fits.

[gracedonnelly]

I'm autistic as well, and seeing her be happy and not afraid to be herself makes me filled with Joy. I've dealt with a lot of self-esteem issues and isolation from the world because of my diagnosis, but I'm slowly learning to "feel like a rainbow" again to put in Ellie's words, and videos like these help me to reach that feeling♥️

[coreypetersen]

I love this girls entire personality. I wish everyone in the world had her attitude and positivity!

[mylovemachine]

She is so joyful and funny. She should have her own youtube channel to cheer us all up.

[DarkenedAndrew]

She’s so cute, and is honestly 1000% cooler than the big majority of people I’ve ever known.
