We rationalize that we "prefer to be alone". We don't exactly. We just have anxiety approaching/getting friends and we rationalize it into a preference. What we ideally want is to be able to be with others and relate on our own terms.

I'm 21 and autistic, i went most my life without understanding why i was the way i am and never got the support i needed. I got bullied for year and it ended up leading to severe depression and drug and alcohol problems that nearly killed me. Since i found out it helped me understand and sort my life out alot! I'm now sober and happy, i have a job that i can comfortably turn up to and I'm in an amazing relationship. It's good to see people helping others that might be in a similar situation to what i was, giving advice that could potentially save life's like it did mine. Keep up the amazing work man!!

In my last job, I was asked by my boss to not tell my coworkers that I'm autistic, because she didn't want them to have doubts about my ability to do the job. If anything, though, wouldn't it be better if neurotypical people saw openly autistic people doing their jobs well? Wouldn't it be an opportunity to show that not all autistic people are the same and that there are plenty of us who are competent and functional?

I'm 32 and undiagnosed. Haven't had a single job, and have lived off the good graces of others. I often just watch these videos to see if they can help me move forward in my otherwise stagnant life. I will state that these videos have at least helped me understand myself better, if even a little.

I'm on disability because every job I had caused me to feel like a tiger stuck in a cage and I couldn't get out. So, I work for me.

At a recent meeting, one of my managers had a rant about how people with ADHD and autism were attention seeking c***s and why should he adjust things to suit them. Needless to say, I'm not about to come clean at work about my autism. You might think this is unacceptable but it's reality and permeates the whole business (and it's a big one ). It's a good job that I've managed to keep for 20 years and I'm a few years off retirement so it's a case of hunkering down.

I use a simple whiteboard in my kitchen, adjacent to the table. I write down appointments/reminders on the whiteboard. I look at it every day when eating breakfast. I remove each appointment once done. Heaven is a blank whiteboard-no appointments!

I was having a panic attack earlier about having autism. I grew up with too much stigma for my own good. But reading these comments is so transformative oml. I’m in tears and I feel so much better now. Thankyou for making this community online✨

[lucylincoln]

I really wish the YouTube gods would place the commercials strategically. You know, like on tv. It's so friggin distracting when you're hyperfocused and suddenly there's an ad break. Really irritating.

The organising thing is making me crazy! I love having stuff organised and i love having a system but im terrible at actually getting there and keeping it that way, and i have never understood why! I get these spikes(usually in the middle of the night xD) where i start to organise totally random stuff in my apartment and im super happy about it and then i mess it up again in a few days -.-

Autistic adult here, diagnosed at 31 and again at 46. Had a bumpy work history (fired 30+ times) before I was diagnosed. My last two jobs I did disclose and had a LOT of support at the latter one, but those type of jobs were phased out and ultimately I needed too many accommodations. Since getting married and moving I'm in a situation where work is impossible now and was just awarded SSDI as a result of ASD2/mental illness/PTSD and physical stuff. (Surprisingly, I found myself married after basically avoiding dating in general.) Most of my friendships have been with other autistic or neurodivergent people. I made two friends this week after being in New Yorkfor three years. Complete accident, but I'm really happy about it.

I am an autistic adult and i find it very hard to be patient around other people and i hate waiting for other people. I also get agitated if things get delayed or people are making changes that are not for the better and have an impact on me

Texting has been a lifesaver for me...like you said, it’s so much easier than face to face...happens too quickly in person and texting you can take your time and emojis are a must to understand emotions.

I just got diagnosed with extremely high functioning autism last year (I'm 46). I have been binging your videos just trying to contextualize my life experiences, and I just wanted to say thank you for making this channel.

I'm the mother of a 22 yo woman. We've always been close (she's an only chid), but all of her life I've had a hard time understanding her thinking and behaviour. Just in the past 4 months we've figured out she's almost certainly Autistic. We're going through the process of getting her tested, but she tics SO MANY boxes.
Knowing this has made it a lot easier to understand why she does and says the things she does, and easier to empathize with her feelings. I wish we had known way back when she was a child. We are communicating much better than we even did before.

Hi Dan, I am 55 years old, female, and just found out I’m Autistic, ADD, dyslexic, dyscalculia, and Low Executive Function, etc.. I had no clue, and thought I was like everyone else. I am trying to learn how to find what my true self is...and what is it that I really like, and enjoy...it’s so confusing, and I realized how little I actually know about myself.
It does finally explain all the chronic health issues throughout my life, and the reason I never really was able to keep friends and why all the noises, lights and crowds have been such a problem for me, thought I masked everything my whole life..so now I am learning to unmask.
Thank you for the videos, they are good and helpful.

[kaleeburns]

Can you please talk about the struggle of high functioning ASD and societal pressure ~ how this isn’t always known / how we’re expected to ‘blend’ in. Melt downs are real! 26 and TIRED of masking 🤟🏼

Is it common for adult aspies to have difficulties focusing on and taking in what someone is saying when there is music, or other people talking, in the background?
