6/17/2024 Hi I'm Elizabeth 48 years old and I love being alone because no One understands my feelings, People and family are to judgemental and I can't deal with injustice acts... I'm so grateful because being A spiritual person helps me struggle less...🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Houston Texas 🙌

With a lack of peripheral vision My biggest @$%! Is "there's nothing wrong with you!" But then when I walk into a thing that is so obvious; "what the L; didn't you see that!?" I ask for no special treatment, other then to not be given credit for the level of ability I have worked so hard & long for!

Considering a society suited for everyone, I think this is important insight. I know I have been around autism, probably so much that I have been taken for being undiagnosed. Knowing what can help is important, I think.

There already has been awareness for asd. The real question is can these people have autism acceptance?

I hope to see more of these videos done through universities and other institutions. Glad I found this

I just watched the video and I’m not autistic

I would like to know if people with autism have to take medication 💊 like antipsychotics, my son stopped taking his “cold turkey “ and now he is not doing well, PLEASE ANSWER big thanks

I was diagnosed at 51, four years ago. It helped me understand why I was different. I've had a difficult life.

I got anxiety 😥 disorder because it reminds me of Piglet from the movie Winnie the Pooh because we both always get nervous 😥 and anxious 😥 of certain people or a lot of things

This dude is awesome.

Hugs to everyone in the video! From one autistic to another. I can relate much much to you. It’s a tough and rough life as an autistic, no matter what anyone says. We all need support , at least from other autistics.

how to be a part of the production of assistance for the mentally who have invisible handicaps handicapped 😊ww

I generally cannot believe this. It’s amazing to learn more about autism from this video ❤🙏🏻

It is so wrong this goes on-AND ---- Sermon on the MOUNT 😊(Autistic-Artistic) are those that might be the ones mentioned by Jesus -as in - "Blessed are the Peacemakers".... ETC ETC ETC *****

Can relate to 1st guy 100%. Our cities are shitholes in terms of noises, movement, smells, lights and unnecessary verbal input. It's like being firehosed with bullshit 24/7. One day I will hapilly move to rural area and find my peace. And most people don't have boundaries, like at all. It makes it almost impossible to socialize. They either treat you like some weird bug or try to shape you into their norm.

Excellent video, well done to everyone involved for commissioning, creating and publishing this. As a late diagnosed autistic person I wish that this kind of insightful info had existed when I was at Uni in the 90s. I'm very glad young people can have access to it now, its great to see how understanding of neurodiversity is improving all the time.

I was diagnosed at age 40. I had very similar experiences to the guy on the bench. I have a very narrow range of interests, none of which are particularly financially viable, and society considers commerce to be exclusively viable in this way. The idea of giving someone money to help them be who they want is seen as ridiculous because that person isn’t doing anything for society. I have never had a reasonably paying job; the closest I came was working for Lloyd’s TSB in their collections department but I left after two months because we were being paid to bully and harass people and I’ve always believed both to be morally unjustifiable. I will likely never have my own house or flat because there is nothing about me that is seen as useful to society.

Thank you for making this beautiful video.

My sister's classmate said I was *_just_* a guy with disabilities (learning, ASD, and limited motor skills). He made me sound like a joke to still be living at home at 27, graduating from a small charter school--at TWENTY--and being a slow learner in general.

Shy autistic people do not go on camera and make videos about how shy they are and hate attention.

Newly preliminarily diagnosed last year while I work on getting the official which is a process here in my state. My whole life makes sense and courageous stories like this have saved my life. 🩵

Thank you bro... My name is Olwaseun Akinmolu

That beautiful, extraordinary, courageous young man is my hero. He describes perfectly what so few people, through no fault of their own, can never understand.

Autistic from the north and with an active metabolism and a strong sensory issue for shorts. I was in Southampton on Nov 24-5 and 9 Dec 2023, at each end of a cruise. Bright days with springlike weather in the pre-Christmas period with all the market running. Weather that never used to be possible Nov-Mar in Britain of my 70s-80s childhood, but Dec 9 had a nippy windiness too. There were loads of folks wearing shorts. Not just one in a day. Not a few one-off sensory issue outriders like is often how you would see me. No. There were many! Still a minority, but steady stream of them everywhere and all through the day. Like just as casually ordinary to do then as in summer. So that for Dec 9 I could even predict it from the earlier memory, and that prediction was right! A very nice shift in society, in a world with precious few of those, hekping the sensory issue to be asserted and get less resustance for firmal situations.

Why don't we just leave it alone, a person's ASD? Who cares? They're fine the way they are. Let me guess. You guys don't agree. You think ASD is worthy of attention, concern, and "Oh, no, we gotta help this person."

At work I am disliked because I won't take "On-Call", but On-Call is for 7 days and in those 7 days I will get no sleep out of fear of missing a phone call. I guess I'm a bit of an outcast. No one at work knows about my issues. Peace to you all.

As a child, I experienced so much pain from chronic sensory overwhelm that my parents and doctor originally thought I had injured myself playing in the yard and was hiding the source of my pain. When they found no physical injuries, I was labeled an attention seeker. When I insisted that the world was just really painful and overwhelming, I was called a hypochondriac. I spent my entire childhood feeling like I failed at existing. Like I could do nothing right. As all the adults I looked up to assured me that if I tried hard enough, all these problems would magically disappear on their own. The idea that I may be autistic was never even an option because my doctors, parents, and teachers all believed girls could not have it. Discovering I was autistic in my early to mid 20s was a life changing discovery. Up until that point, I had blamed every meltdown, every shutdown, my sensory sensitivities, my poor emotional regulation, my insomnia, my chronic fatigue, my difficulty reading subtle social cues, my crippling anxiety around new social situations, my inability to form meaningful relationships (with non-disabled people), etc. on my own personal failures. Now, at least I know I have been mistreated by society. That hurts far less than thinking that my own family doesn't love me over factors I should be able to recognize and control.

The two people interviewed in this video look perfectly "fine" to me on the outside, and I look perfectly "fine" on the outside to the people I encounter every day. Yet I can relate to everything that was said here, and both my therapist and psychologist have told me that I'm likely autistic and encouraged me to seek an official diagnosis. I've never considered myself disabled but there are times when it seems to me that other people can handle certain tasks so much more easily than I can, like listening to someone in a noisy room without having to ask them to repeat themselves over and over again, or "winging it" when plans suddenly change. It takes me longer to learn to do certain tasks, and I often can't learn unless someone physically walks me through the steps. When I was a young adult I lost some jobs because I couldn't keep up. I've been diagnosed with anxiety but no one has any idea how anxious I feel on a daily basis because it doesn't show on my face. I was in "gifted" classes in school, and I did great academically. It's so hard for me to believe that I might be autistic; I keep asking myself things like, "doesn't everyone struggle with that?" But two separate mental health professionals think I have autism, and videos like this one featuring low-needs autistic people make me feel like seeking an official diagnosis wouldn't be a waste of time.

This made me cry so hard. I've been trying to understand why I've always felt so different my whole life, and recently have been doing more and more research into autism. I'm trying to get a diagnosis but its so hard because there is a stigma that girls don't have it still, especially since I'm now 25, and most drs won't take me seriously. Thank you for sharing these stories; it's so comforting to know I'm not alone.

Fibro disabled me in my 30s. I am in the USA. It is still very prejudicial here. Few doctors will treat it once diagnosed. But I was a nurse before and was able to slowly get myself healthier over time, with family help. Now, twenty years later, am in remission with no auto-immune markers showing. It can happen so don't lose hope. I am not back in college to finish my degree, at the age of 52. LOL. This time, it doesn't hurt. Though, the tech is new. Be kind to yourself. You may need to slow down.

Thank you for sharing, especially the gent, as it really helped me appericate that even my small steps ARE strengthening.

For about a decade people have said I have autism, but no one will test me, apparently it is a childhood disability.

i don't like to frame autism as a disability per se, rather the *real* problem is the fact that we have monocultured society that try to coerce conformity rather than a polyculture that accommodates people just simply being different

Comorbid with heds ni comment of the link

As someone with autism, this is all totally relatable and a very welcome video to accurately raise awareness !

I am a newly disabled female, I guess. I was diagnosed with chronic vertigo coupled with vestibular chronic migraines in 2008 or nine. I do not look ill. Most of the time people just assume that I’m drunk or high on some thing. It is frustrating, disheartening and it’s very difficult sometimes for me to ask or want people to help me because everybody seems to think that just because I might look good today That I’m not really sick and I’m taking it, or that I can just get over it and push through it no problem which is probably part of my problem because I’ve tried to push through for so long and ignore it to. I can’t even work anymore. I would love to work. I have been told that I am not a viable candidate for any type of work outside or inside the home because of my disability because I fall. I think this is stupid I think if I work from home and I’m taking the risk in my own home, that I should be granted D, or actually afforded the opportunity to do I don’t know answer phones for somebody or something like some of these other remote jobs some people have. I think I would be good at it and it would probably help my self-esteem and my mental net awareness because sometimes I feel like I’m just getting bog down by fogginess because there’s really not a whole lot for me to do. I wish people understood that just because I don’t look sick doesn’t mean that I’m not and that if I actually extend myself and ask for help, please help me because it took a lot for me to do that because I’m a very proud person. Thank you for listening.

Disabilities is an awful word for having inconvenient quirks that help us cope with the super processing system that is our brains. The brilliance we offer comes with a few harmless quirks.... Deal with it!!!

Big thanks to Dr emuakhe on RUclips from Africa for giving me a lasting solutions to my fibromyalgia case, you're truly an epitome of good treatment

I hate how I lay in bed in the mornings and hear the world start - how people wake up, some easier than others, but still wake up, get ready, eat breakfast, go out to school/work, drive, take a bus, socialise, talk, laugh, run or be lazy, all ready to do it again the next day ... and I am in bed in sooo much pain feeling exhausted no matter how many hours I slept or didn't sleep, and it's this moment of dark loneliness. But I'm sure many neighbours look at me, an adult living with her parents and think 'she's lazy, she loves to sleep, she is using her parents, she doesn't want to grow up, she smiles/laughs/walks so she must feel great' ... Please don't make assumptions about others. Let's just be kind to each other.

lovely!

having people judge you is not good for anyone

hopeful that my son gets accepted and attends. Great Uni and atmosphere, and Susu looks awesome

culprit: microwaves, it can last a few years

My classmate in nursing school’s name is Oyinkansola and I’m here to try and pronounce it because I can see her frustrations as well… thanks for the video

Is there a reason why people with fibromyalgia tend to be women ?

Let me tell you... my name is also Oluwaseun and I know how you feel about your name. I was born in the Netherlands, and they pronounce my name in many different styles. It's not the easiest name to have it. But we have to thank the Lord that the name is giving to us!

i can relate, glad you had the break and drive to continue after the break. Disability is my norm, society though do put up lots of walls.
