Autism Awareness

Published 2011-09-15
I'm sorry if you didn't like my video or anything like that! But this is my first vlog, so yes, it's rough. I even forgot someone of the points that I was trying to make. But please tell me if you like the blog. I would like to start doing more!

    Thank you for posting that. I have a niece who is autistic and like you said, when you are around them enough it's like there is nothing wrong with them. They just have their own ways of doing stuff that seems weird to some people. They are very loving and smart.
  • @ClarissaBetcch
    I totally understand where you're coming from! You are completely right.
  • @musicbox193
    I agree. Those people have a lot of nerve making fun of someone who's admitted to the whole entire world what they have!

    Just like you said, there normal. They have Strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else. It was incredibly brave for her to come out and say she had Autism because it really seemed like people used as ammunition to abuse her. Having a sister with mild autism it really scares me that people can be so hateful towards the differences of others sometimes. This video gave me hope, reminded me that there are people out there who get it. Keep Vlogging :)

    Intriguing video Ashley. I feel sorry for Nichole337 don't have any doubts she is Autistic or not. I've got the condition myself it is challenging in certain areas of socializing & starting a simple conversation eye contact is improving huge positive note. These people with Autism it's not a Disease, or a Disability overrated term misjudgment. As I say "If you have a child with Autism. Bless it, don't ignore the positives. Different is not bad, it's unique. Believe in what you fight for".

    you are sooooooooooo awesome,you deserve all the o! :)
  • @MsKezza56
    Well done! I felt the same when I saw a friend of a friend post Nichole337 singing as a figure of fun. I think she's a brave sweet girl!
  • @willandhugh
    takes courage for nichole337 to make that video in the first place, but it also takes a lot of courage to make a video standing up for her and defending her against all of the depressingly ignorant "haters" on here, so i gotta say, much respect for you =]

    There arent a lot of pretty girls that have a good heart nowadays. It's good to see that you are one of the few that do
  • Autism is a disability which affects an individual's social interaction and feelings. Who here in our Youtube audience actually knew this already? If you do or did congratulations. If you didn't you win as well because you just learned something...and knowledge is power isn't it????

    Ha . I love how everyone notices your accent !(: I have a Tennessee accent too , and wehn I go to Indiana , everyone notices it . Someone even told me that he didnt like country accents till he met me ! Haha:D
  • The key word we're looking for is called ACCEPTANCE. If you're on a website that doesn't have autism and acceptance together you are on the wrong one and you need to get off. I'm serious there are a lot of fake websites promoting autism saying it is a disease. I'm sorry that's wrong. Having autism is a blessing. You need to embrace it not be ashamed of it. And here is another thing...there is nothing wrong with anybody accepting autism. We just tend to find excuses why we don't have or want to most of the time. It's time to follow the Nike slogan and JUST DO IT. Asking questions about us is better than mocking.

    You took that in a different way than I meant it then. I have never thought that autism is a negative thing. It's not. But for people who had never been around autistic people and then are around them all of a sudden, it's a little bit of a shock. They have their own little quirks that you have to get used to, and once you get used to them they seem like "normal" kids.
  • I love her videos. Its like the funny part of American Idol. She's so bad but she doesn't care. I like hating on her haters. I dont mind the ones who say she's bad because thats true. The hateful ones who tell people to kill themselves are beneath contempt.
  • I side with Nicole on this one and say good going girl. The reason why people bash you is that these people do not understand autism. Yeah that's exactly what I just said. Some just don't care regardless but it's high time we all did. You see autism all over the map so we shouldn't be acting so shocked here.
  • @FamiliaFrescas
    I love how people are being rude to that Nichole337 girl, then they see this video response and comment on this one "you're hawt". It's just wrong...
