👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.

👋Connect with me:

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!

Peace,

~ Paul

[Wajiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Yes!!! Authenticity above all is what I need so I can find my tribe!

[h-aether]

Wow this hit something deep.. Been thinking about this a lot lately!

[mrdkoser]

I finally gave up on any Neurotypical people relationships or friendships and dont regret a thing. Ive always told my kids to look at the people they're closest to and they're either also a ND person or extremely patient, kind, compassionate and honest people that are really rare to find. Kind of makes you wonder about the "normal" ones that don't have the ability to understand ND people. Just cant deal with constant fake people whether they act nice or not- they're not authentic and more and more people are becoming toxic in their day-to-day life. Not sure if it's their fault, or are culture... as overseas i didnt have a problem with connecting as much as here. Confirms that foreigner / alien feel we get here...

[barbarawalker]

100% YES!! And thank you for affirming it's real and right!!! Understanding this has been a process for me but now that I know it I realize how wonderful it is!

[AutismusImJob]

You nailed it! It took me more than 30 years to understand this.

[AutismAddict]

hahahaha politely leave me alone or get further back 😂😂😂❤

[Katzenmama]

Thank you for beeing here and thank you for your support ❤

[samhiatt]

Thank you for this.
Cheers to being your authentic self.

[ellies]

This! Definitely this! Every time this!

[maxinesobers]

That's how I form authentic relationships. ❤

[bbb]

Yes! You're speaking my language 😊

[andrewmorton]

I am really struggling with bad anxiety and depression

[tanyabaldwin]

Yes!! I could not say it any better. 😊

[KendallEsse]

Yup! Just, where are these really interested people?

[paxhumana]

How do I know that YOU are being authentic yourself? Here's the thing, and I'm also autistic as well, whenever you push someone away, you could make that lead to push EVERYONE away, and that the typical autistic person just plain does not know the difference between getting the good people and avoiding the bad people because they do not know how to read nonverbal social cues and implied social cues.

[ivanaamidzic]

I met someone different, and interesting and I liked him a lot and told him about it and it didn't go well at all.

[satabdisarkar]

Sir, how could I connect you?
My 32 yr old son who has been diagnosed very late shows a typical way of talking. ... Always shows anger shouts in an artificial hoarse voice which disturbs our family. Doesnt

There was a cute two frame comic, several years back, with a yellow and grey bird on a branch, next to a blue and white and yellow bird with plumes and frills.
Yellow bird says to blue in first frame "you look weird".
Second frame: "I like it". (And the birds are leaning together in a nuzzle fashion). <3

I’m that way. I go on very few dates because I don’t want to waste either person’s time. I weed out a lot. People tell me it’s a numbers game, but for me, it’s like “why would I bother. She’s 35 and I’m 56.” Or “I don’t date women with kids. Period” a lot of people don’t get this.

It’s better to know what you do and don’t want. Even if you come up empty. Better to be true to oneself.
