The best imitators out there are girls/women with ASD, that’s why the average year for girls/women to be diagnosed is 30

Late diagnosed @38 two years after son was diagnosed @6 Now we see nuances so much more clearly and w compassion And all of our “amazing” abilities can be tied back to the way our brains are wired 🧠 ❤️

Comment from : @josefina_soulful_self-care

See how the "happy people" are those we deem as excelling and contributing to society Us less talented folk with autism just have to deal with being poor and not remembered

I have Aspbererger's syndrome, and I'd ireally/i rather not have it It's made life enormously more difficult than it would be otherwise Stop trying to put a smiley face on a bad situation
Comment from : @JohnKoenig-db8lk

My 3 year old son has autism and honestly there really are some times that are hard to deal with, but I just view it as some kind of super powers that he is still struggling to control right now and someday with our guidance he will be able to control it properly, at his age he can already read sentences sometimes even paragraphs and able to quickly memorize lyrics of songs, even different shapes and colors and was already able to count from 1 to 100 at the age of 2 years old I'm so proud of him and will continue to support him til the end
Comment from : @ZENKI07

I have Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD I agreed with almost everything he said but I'm a bit against showing Einstein and Newton when trying to teach people about autism simply because it gives the wrong idea It can make people think that they can't be Asperger without being geniuses or dissuade their parents from testing them because they aren't "above average" at anything specific
Comment from : @MaleINTP

Impressive young man! I genuinely hope he feels the same after 10 years in the workplace & has better fortune than I’ve had as an autistic person trying to sustain employment out in the world🙏
Comment from : @cindypetersen5561

Ah, yes The benefits of having a lifelong disability The only benefits here are government benefits, which are reserved for the profoundly disabled
Comment from : @e4m7g6

I excelled better in smaller groups
Comment from : @692ALBANNACH

He's only counting girls that have been diagnosed, what's hard to do
Comment from : @GrisProenca

I delightfully-chuckled when I heard this young man's talk, not only is he correct in-the-main, but his Autistic traits were obvious---and I love that! My Autistic traits I can't see, but I can see Autistic traits in others It's a very comforting thing for me ❤brbrI love his talk too!❤
Comment from : @an_anishinaabe_son

Great video and very important topic!
Comment from : @EspeonaSparkle

Hyper focus is an autistic superpower!
Comment from : @OnerousEthic

Were not all genius Autism genius is a stigma I know people that struggle way tomuch with it
Comment from : @4everpee

This was really cool I know the spectrum is quite wide and there are plenty of people on it that struggle a great deal, but learning to see the world in they're way more effectively could open a lot of doors for a lot of people People that might not see the door-knob but can do some awesome stuff if someone helped them figure out how to get out of the room some other way!
Comment from : @jonohoffman5034

And, this is why we need to learn to live in their worldNOT teach them to live in our world❤️ Autistic children are teaching us to learn about them❤️ My grandson is my whole world, he knows that I get him, because every day he is teaching me to learn about himI call him my little blessing🙏 It's amazing on how much I have learned, & continue to learn from him❤️ I get him & he gets me It makes my heart happy to see him being himself, not caring what others think about him We both are living our best life because we are in OUR own little world & do not have a care in the world of others judging us for who we are❤️ I am the Ying to his Yang❤️🙏

assburger sounds like the new burger king special
Comment from : @stopYmpersonatYngmYacCount

such an inspirational video
Comment from : @HamidArman

As a person with Autism, I disagree The "passion in their work" and "attention to detail" thing usually only apply to their very specific niche interests It's not always helpful in work, and especially in socializing Many Autistic people I know, are more likely to be passionate and focus on the details of their very specific, niche, Autistic speical interests, instead of remembering people's names or letting others speak in social situations Special interests like specific cartoon characters or certain TV shows that NO ONE knows about, for example
Comment from : @halfthevivi

1:40 A cow? Cow-horse? br2:00 It seems I have failed the autism test 😔 /joke
Comment from : @halfthevivi

According to wikipedia, 70 of people all over the world have autism, if so we can say that people that have autism is normal since the majority is them and the people that have not is abnormal 😅
Comment from : @ameerachannel2539

Comment from : @birdiebuns487

Tell me the benefits of autism Because I don't see it After watching this video I still don't see how autism benefits ME I see the speaker stating how some autistics benefit the world, but not the autistic
Comment from : @doreal

You are talking about high functioning autism You should not talk as if anyone who is severely autistic and cannot talk, care for themselves, have medical issues, etc are equal to those with Asperger's You should not offer false hope and shoud really do your homeworkShameful presentation
Comment from : @np100

I have high functioning autism I am very successful because I have won 2nd place in championship wrestling in 8th grade, I have graduated high-school, I have done bodybuilding and hit a pr of 500lb deadlift with no steroids and no adrenaline and it took me 2 years to achieve that goal I have a special gift of sensing frequencies and seing more of life beyond life and the "normal life"
Comment from : @dbplaya_7621

He is only focus on bragging about people with asperger syndrome which is small high performing autism Most kids with autism do not get the benenfit of asperger syndrome, they strugggle daily family life ruin He needs to be more honest
Comment from : @will3447

One thing I like about being autistic is that I can sometimes excuse myself for being rude What excuse do neurotypicals have? Nothing!
Comment from : @catguy4996

There's no evidence that Einstein & Newtown had autism Not a good idea to base your argument on a speculation

I completed a BSc and MSc in engineering, published scientific research in my home country, moved to the United States alone with no money, no English, no papers and no family I have got fired from jobs almost every year Recently, I was diagnosed with Asperger in my 50s Now I understand why Luckily, have survived tutoring Math, Physics and Chemistry We have to make sure it doesn't happen to future generations

Comment from : @dark_unit2409

I believe ASD is as common in girls/women as it is in boys, they are just now learning how to diagnose it in us, since we present differently
Comment from : @RayneBubble

Any degree of autism is worse than getting sick for 1 week to 10 days
Comment from : @kedricktheheadtripMusic

Comment from : @tipaycaburnay2591

And THATS why we have racism
Comment from : @movagalbastomp

Why do people always use Einstein as an autism success story, when his 'success' has nothing to do with him being autistic, but everything to do with his intelligence? He has an IQ of about 160, and that's not an 'autistic trait' Also the type of 'success' being promoted by the speaker is materialistic - achievements, recognition, and worldwide fame I agree that perhaps some or even the majority would agree that those things are what makes someone successful, but real success is actually honouring the worth of an individual outside of all that
