*Thank you for all the messages, comments, and stories you’re sharing with me today. But my story isn’t really for me — I only hope that my experience can illuminate and educate.*

[choloeseguay]

It wasn’t obvious to me, at all. I can’t imagine the amount of people that you will be able to help. You’re the best dude

And here all this time I thought your superpower was writing backwards on a sheet of glass without looking at your hand

As a young woman diagnosed at 18 - and being that I'm only turning 20 this coming October - as autistic/ADHD, this makes me emotional. I had that same "This is news to me" feeling. I struggled with school socially, preferred to be alone since I was bullied for my special interests and quirks, and not accomodated properly for all my life, and I've only found this channel tonight with the Half-Life Histories videos. I fixate on literature and mythos and historical things (since I personally suck with math and numbers) and I became intrigued with The Elephant's Foot. I'm so glad you made this. I felt a bit lost in what I wanted to do in my life and seeing you do this stuff gives me encouragement to try and find what will help in getting a career or even just learning to drive, soon. Thank you, Sir. You are indeed a superhero, and I appreciate that my intrigue with history helped me find you. Just...thank you.

As one person on the Autism scale to another, you are an inspiration to a lot of people who are on the Autism scale. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)

Dude. This is powerful. Thank you for your example.

Thank you for sharing it, especially the bit about 'not being like Big Bang Theory'. I am betting that you hear a lot of 'you don't look autistic' since you are lively, eloquent and expressive. I got diagnosed at 36 and to this day the main response I get is that I don't look autistic 'enough'. It can only help to have more and more people coming out and showing that we are not a walking stereotype, we are very diverse crowd.

My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and he graduated at the top of his class. He is extremely introverted, but anything he does he gives it 110%. He is my hero. My son loves insects and reptiles.

My son (the little dude in my profile pic) has been trying to understand his aspergers a little better lately. He is 19 now and is realizing that his mind works in a different way than those around him. Making this video will help not only my son but so many of your fans. Thank you. I know this must have been hard.

🧡🧡🧡 Proud of you. What a wonderfully thoughtful video. I'm honored to call you a friend!

[aeonyx_cinereus]

my wife has ASD and I have ADHD. thank you for sharing your story, it really means a lot to see someone as cool as you have these things in common with us.

I used to purposely put myself into "in school suspension" back in the day. A cubicle in a silent room vs school chaos was no question.

[BlakeJob]

As a person NOT on the scale - I idolized you before this video, and this video didn’t change a thing about that. You are the reason I want to go back to school and do for the world what I KNOW I can do

I am autistic too, and hearing that makes me so happy.
Personally i am quite terrified to come out to people, but you really help me feeling more confident.

Thank you

This is so similar to my story. I was a programmer working in a busy office, who started studying about autism when my son was diagnosed. Soon realised I was reading about me as well as him. I was also diagnosed with Asperger's, in 2016.

Thank you brother.

[ElectroNeutrino]

One thing that's always gotten under my skin is when I tell people that I am on the spectrum, about half of them don't believe me because I don't act like how autism is portrayed in popular media.

[bootyman]

The absolute balls on this guy to sit down and talk about autism to the _internet._
Seriously man, big ups and I’m happy you’re sharing your story. Take care!

[jessylittlebunny]

As an autistic girl, and a big fan, I’m here to support you!
What help me is to talk to other autistic people, it makes me feel more “normal”, maybe can help you to hahah <3
And just a note: this makes me admire even more you and your work 🙆🏻‍♀️💕

[lisablue]

It hadn't ever occurred to me that you might have autism, it's great when people come forward because it helps everyone else so much. My son is autistic and I have a top tip for anyone who really struggles with eye contact (probably someone else has suggested this already but you have so many messages of support and love that I can't check, lol) - he was having problems with substitute teachers who would tell him to look at them as they didn't understand the issues he had. We practiced him looking people right in the eyebrows and they couldn't tell the difference ...
