“Is this person gonna ever stop talking?” “NO.” So relatable. 🤣

My 25 year old son has Autism. I didn’t recognise it in his childhood as it wasn’t really spoken about. He did go for extra tuition as he had trouble naming objects. He knew exactly what they were, but he couldn’t process it properly. He loved having boundaries, is about as honest as it gets, and if plans change…..it’s not pretty lol. I adore him. He runs his own floor laying business, has a home, a long term girlfriend, but can still be uncomfortable with people. I’m so proud of him.

Oh gosh, I’m female in my early 60’s, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was in my mid 50’s. It was such a relief, as I had struggled all of those years wondering why I wasn’t quite the same as my peers and everyone else. Life was so difficult, as a very little girl I knew I was going to be a loner, and I really didn’t want that. But that’s what I have become. I love animals and feel so comfortable around them, and they seem to like me! I have a good job that really suits my condition, doing very detailed planning, but working from home, alone of course. It’s been tough, but at least now I know why. Thank you for your content, it helps xx

Someone: Talks about the weather Me: Struggling not to talk about climate change, my main hyperfixation/passion

A guy in my class has Aspergers, and he genuinely wants to correct our teacher in the most innocent way he can and then he says, "oh he's was mad? Its because I didn't say sorry, people like to hear sorry." 😂😂😂😂 and I love him. He's been my favorite buddy since he told our vice principal that his hair was on wrong🤣🤣🤣🤣

My social anxiety is really hard to deal with.. My family gets frustrated with me sometimes. I don't have friends to worry about. I hate not knowing everything about where I'm going. Having a plan and researching the place helps.

I am high-functioning Aspie, you nailed me on three of the nine symptoms. My wife is a psychologist, and she introduced me to her friend who was also a psychologist. In less than one minute, her friend took her aside and said in a low voice, "You know he's Aspie, don't you?" and my wife replied, "Oh, yes!" Being a psychologist, she seems to know how to deal with my Aspie quirks.

It's hard trying to find someone that is passionate about Art, Quantum mechanics, and language. So trying to have conversations with people is very annoying.

I am an Aspie woman in the American South raised in a family who hated my disorder. I also have children and literally have not had a set routine in years bc I have been forced to be flexible. I think when I'm old I'll just be a hermit with cats. That's the dream now.

I'm watching on a computer. I'm not officially diagnosed but recognized what I am earlier this year after discovering what Asperger's was (I was looking it up after reading about David Byrne's description of himself). Finding a description of myself that explained the social problems (not getting along with others, ostracism, bullying at school etc.) that I've encountered during the past 69 years as well as why I am so focused on my technical interests was a revelation. At last I found where I sit in a world really I don't like living in. The eye contact thing: as Morpheus said in The Matrix "I know exactly what you mean". It IS as if I am opening my soul to someone and it is intensely uncomfortable. I slowly became aware during my 40s that I was doing this in long discussions about some pet subject. I think on one level it was like "I am sending a message but I don't know what". When I occasionally did in a social setting I usually got such a hostile return stare that I quickly shut down. My obsessive interest - electronics - indeed became my lifelong earner. It started as a hobby when I was about 7 years old. Because I knew it so well by the time school had ended for me I was able to get a job easily and make it my own. All without a degree or formal study. And I LOVE designing at component level most of all. The aim every time: maximum simplicity and elegance for minimum cost, circuit board size, component count and originality - I do not copy what others have done. One of my ex-colleagues at the polytechnic where I worked as a technician once said to me that "your designs are strange but they always work". I took that as a huge compliment coming from a PhD. Sorry for the rant. You just described me in stark detail. I identify with every point you made (and I am not being wise after the fact). I am what I am and at last I know what that is. Thankyou.

I'm 53, and was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at 50! Both of my children are also on the spectrum. I get myself in trouble often for not knowing when to stop talking about my special interests (mainly anatomy and physiology) and I don't make friends easily. My mom recently found some old report cards of mine from 1st and 2nd grade, the teacher comments proved to me that they had no understanding of Autism (especially in girls) and just thought I was a behavior problem child. Ugh. I'm really just starting to learn more about the way my brain is wired, and learning to accept myself and all my quirky traits.

As a kid, my obsessive interests lasted for periods, and then I’d hop onto other ones. Nowadays; some obsessions come and go, and some stick in the long term.

1. Eye contact 2. Stimming 3. Obsessive Interests 4. The Love of routines 5. Social understanding (social difficulties) 6. Voice Volume 7. Not getting Jokes 8. Social anxiety 9. Sensory issues

I’m almost 50 and suspect I am on the spectrum. My biggest thing that holds me back is the social aspect. I am pretty smart and have always wanted to work in the medical field but as soon as I think about having to work with a team of people and all that it entails, I feel panicked. It is one of my obsessions but sadly will never happen because I just can’t get past the unknowns of working with strangers. I’ve learned to “fit in” in my little circle of church and friends and I don’t think anyone has a clue how anxious I get in those settings. Thank you so much for this video and for letting me know I’m not alone in my struggles.

I’m a 43 year old woman that found out I was an aspie 7 years ago, and the first 3 years I don’t count because it was the last straw that broke my mind. I was in and out of institutions. Now I’m very grateful for the diagnosis and it helps me understand a lot of me, and my past troubles.

I have undiagnosed Asperger's, but I can relate to all of these symptoms you've talked about. I'm hypersensitive to light, to loud noises and smells. Not only that, but I'm a very anxious and emotional person, easily break into tears. My condition led me to self harm, depression and very bad social anxiety. Eight years ago I gave up on trying to socialize and make friends altogether. Growing up in a toxic family that doesn't care lead to an excruciating existence.

I definitely can relate to the social awkwardness. I hate being out with a group of people... I always feel like I don't belong/fit in. I do better if I can connect with one person and have meaningful (not awkward) conversation with them, but that seems rare.

I’m an adult, 57 years old, and believe I have Asperger’s, but haven’t been diagnosed. When I was younger I was told I was too loud so many times that now I’m often told I’m too quiet. All of these points describe me perfectly, especially the idea of routines. If my morning routine is interrupted or changed, I panic and know I’ll have a difficult day. People I know really well, I usually get their jokes, but I struggle with jokes I’m not expecting. If I’m sure a joke is coming, I do pretty well, but still miss them fairly often. I have problems with social interaction until I’m really comfortable with the people involved. At work, when I work with a team for a long time, I start feeling comfortable. Change one person and it gets awkward. Sounds, touch, smell and food texture really overwhelm me.
