Autism - What is it

[kaihiwatari111]

Hey i have asperger syndrome and i know how it feels like to be shunned from society...but how i see it i was born different so i believe that i shouldnt have to conform to such "normal" ways . I know the boundaries of whats acceptable or not but i believe that people should be more open to whats different ...how i see it is that if ppl want me to be normal there the ones with the problem not me

[mryoshywarrior]

this is all wrong people dont know anything!

[MetalSamehada]

I have semantic pragmatic disorder, iv been a loner my whole life and only just made the connections recently whilst in my psychology course. damn :/

[GoCelticsNow]

I have Autism and Asperger's Syndrome

[wizzgamer]

not the best video I have aspergers and some of the facts where incorrect

[SpinergyDude]

Good video.

[54spiritedwill54]

Exactly,some people with autism can be computer geniouses but cant communicate directly with other people

[khtervola]

Just a guess: Modern people live in ways determined by the artificialities in their environment: scooling and the modern society together with social considerations and their shortcomings affecting, so the ways of living are quite arbitrary. For a child naturally oriented toward healthy natural life and a healthy relationship to the environment it may be impossible to adabt to such a great amount of irrationality in the ways of living, so their socialization toward the irrational others lacks.

I have aspergers and have a 156 IQ. I have recently found out that I have as a few years ago.

In some situations the way you act can make you feel like social outcast, people don't understand its harder living with as then autism because you are aware that you are different.

[kayteen7]

I am an Asperger, and truly, there are people like this.

But still, kind of... Racistic.

[familyguyjake]

My 8 year old brother has autism

Most of this is true

[insimms]

I have autism.

[Qukorm]

no u dont attention seeker

[dangerbird89]

Asperger is a fake disorder, Einstein has said that if your IQ differs by 30 points from another person you cant even have a conversation , meet some smart people and then tell me that you have a problem communicating.

[JaxieBoy]

Thank you!

I have tried to present similar arguments, and NOBODY F***ING LISTENS!

{I'm borderline ADD, btw}

[doctorgsja]

Einstein himself had Asperger's.

[CuriousCuriosity]

If that's true, then I shouldn't be able to communicate at all with anyone of average intelligence. :\

[SpartanPkr]

Einstein had aspergers retard

[benningaNL]

Comeback when you've been with a group of people that have aspergers.

Also, the most people that have autism/aspergers actually have a very high IQ. So you are talking pure crap.

It's not fake, and your insulting all the people that have it and the people that are trying to make it known for other people to understand it.

Go back into your box and don't come out this time.

[DiabloDave363]

nah, it aint. and einstien lived in the early to mid 20th century. autism was discovered 12 years before he died. like, u dont know wat its like dude. u dont know

[DarkwindProductions2]

its real. theres proof. fuck u!

[cm2dude]

Ancodi, it is called Savantism.(i.e. the Rain man).

Both of the people I know whom are autistic have aspergers. Both of them laugh really funny, and kinda have squeaky voices, but are great people. Both are quite voracious readers.

[kazza224]

ok well am not aspergers,but i def think my friend is,she gets these obsessions and have 2 have things in order like all her cds are in alphabetical order and if u touch them well god help u lol.she also goes on and on about her favourite subject and i mean on and on and she doesnt react 2 obv signs of bordem and will change the subject back if u try aND Change it

[xXk3nnyr0xXorzXx]

My friend has autism. She cant talk in front of an audience and she only communicates by shaking or nodding her head. But she can still make friends.

[Ancodi]

Some people here really are stupid! Autism is when you're brain is wired up differently, resulting in "problems" with communication. Some autistic people have very good gifts, I can't remember what their called. So stop making up stuff, you don't know what it is, this is not a response to the VIDEO, but the UTTER NONSENSE some people come out with.

[funnyvidman01]

albert einstein had aspergers

[metamano]

thats true

[mads18]

they got no proofs, other than that Einstein once said - I do _NOT_ quote - something like "I wish I could feel that I was closer to people"

[funnyvidman01]

douche

[AutisticVlog]

people think he did, and they know how he acted different and one fact is that he didnt speak till 3. also LOOK AT THE BIZZARE IDEAS HE THOUGHT OF!

[doctorgsja]

Yes, so did Isaac Newton, according to leading experts like Tony Attwood and Michael Fitzgerald.

[yermaan]

My little brother has Autism...

[drmdk]

I love your video.  On my office web site there is a link to your video

DrMDK

[reycom345]

rereism

[hailo666]

can someone explain autisim to me in simple launguage? i dont even know what it is...!!! is it someone who is death? cuz thats what i understood from here!

[SicaGR]

No dead people are dead? I think you meant Deaf and that's not it either. Autistic people don't view the world the same. and have a tendancy to not communicate. Although must say that you should watch the video response from olinkalex. It explains autism in a less documentary way.

[hailo666]

oh yea that is what i meant, sorry bout spelling! oh i think i understand now, ive heard of autisim but i dont really no anyone hu has it, thnx, will do!

[Houminid]

brain grows fast and parts of the brain don't fill up correctly. that can result in some problems. But autistic people resive a gift. The more sevre, the greater the gift.

[midas1wolf]

I have it too :-(

[Abz44]

my brother is 10 and he cant speak...he has

autisim

[kingbooforums]

i dident speak till i was 4 and i have autism..

[InLoveAllOverAgain]

That is so sad! how did you do it?

Its it hard?

[kingbooforums]

lol sort of funny actually my mom brought me to a psychatrist and i suddenyl talked a strom away. hehe.

[nwjh1957]

To clarify 'retarded', that word means that development is slow. But if someone is born without legs, for example, are they 'retarded'? It would not be a good application of the term. Autism is a similar missing component, not a lack of development, it's just aspects of the mind that are missing. Many can compensate by other means, esp, Asperger's, but it is something that will not grow. Put-downs are not helpful, and unbecoming to civilized people.

[Pikapoo1]

excuse me, my brother is 12 yrs old, and has autism (asbergers) and he has the intelligence of me, 15 yrs old

[maggot1995]

well then your just retarded Pikapoo, cause asbergers is half normal and half autism..so..yeah your half retarded too!

[travisridinger]

im sry you just said the word too. and called someone with autism retarded so you should take that back and say something else.

[Pikapoo1]

im sorry that i got that wrong (saying aspergers is autism when it isent) but you got it wrong to, because aspergers doesent make you retarded! ill get my facts straight once you get yours.

[wizzgamer]

aspergers is autism its a type of autism like you get different types of diabetes its the same thing

[preciousKnowledge]

my 6 yr old is autistic, he was diagnosed when he was two because he wasn't talking or responding to me when i talk to him!! he started speech therapy at 18months old, his speech therapist thought he might be autistic. at that time i had no clue about autism. he's doing good now, he's very social he's talking and communicating more now, he even makes jokes. he's in a good school that helps him a lot!

[VileGas]

Are you sure he's autistic? I myself didn't speak until I was three! But look at me now, I'm really social, have a normal voice and I don't stutter at all.

[JacksVendetta]

many children with autism show signs at first of learning to speak or something... but then they digress. you must keep in mind that what they tell you here is the basics. if they went into every detail that tells them a child is autistic, this video would be too long and too complicated for most of us to understand.

[gionnij]

Studies have shown that in some cases, if the parents and doctors find out the child has Autism at an earlier age, that it is easier to improve faster compared to discovering the child has autism at age 7. I'm not saying that at age 7 the child can't improve, but it just takes more time. Of course this probably differs from child to child (meaning for both discovering it at a young age or discovering it at 7)

[preciousKnowledge]

i was told that also, so we started early intervention as soon as he was diagnosed until age three, then he went to a pre-school with an autistic program! he's good academically but his speech is delayed, he's just now making full sentences and answering questions appropriately at six years old. he's the more social one in his class, he initiates play with the kids and does things that he know will make his teachers laugh!!

[preciousKnowledge]

oh yea he has autistic traits still, when i say he's doing good i mean much better than i ever expected! when he was diagnosed i started reading as many books on autism as i could, and it didnt look to good! i thought he would never talk, or play with other kids or do anything that he's doing now.

[marjan15]

How do you differentiate between autistic person and person with IQ bellow 90 ?

[jackoboy]

that was below the belt

[ralpheadsuz]

If you are serious, the answer is a diagnosis of autism (ASD) is not based on IQ, but on social/language delays along with other factors. Some people on the Autistic Spectrum have very high IQ's. A diagnosis of Mental Retardation/Cognitive Disability would be based on IQ.

[djcool345]

Exactly,some people with autism can be computer geniouses but cant communicate directly with other people

[nwjh1957]

Autism is a distinct set of 'missing' functions, especially social, but there may be very high intelligence. Consider how a person can 'read' another person, can imagine what they are thinking, will do, etc. One aspect of autism is that this ability is absent or very limited, and is a real disability. A lot of the rest is associated with being internally focused. And as is mentioned, every case is different, and it is a spectrum of disorders and intensities.

[darkjoerio]

plz dont belive this crap movie i am a person who haves it and belive me they are always wrong because any person whit it is diferent

[vietcheese]

my brother is autistic

the only way to calm him down is spoiling him

he cant really say complete sentences but it takes a while to get what hes saying

[Dulcinea1982]

very interesting, thank you very much

[jethrothekitty]

i used to help the autistic kids when i was in elemenry school before i turned bad..i helped them play and learn math and that stuff...but not anymore but i still think it was fun to help them

[Wospwosp]

I never fully understood what autism is.

[CassetteMaster]

I studder alot, I am OBSESSED with tape recorders, but I do have friends. Can autistic people have friends?

[starrala]

Excellent

[annakolod]

very interesting

[Adrenalyn]

ASD is so scarey because you can have child that is "normal" smiling laughing playing and talking, then that all slips away. I'm VERY interested that she said she has not seen a child less than 13-14 months with ASD. This is a STRONG debate in the autism community;

"Are there people BORN with autism?"

[djcool345]

My cousin wasnt autistic when he was about 3 and he talked and did other things,then he got a flu shot (which i believe had mercury at the time) after that he almost never said a full word,or did complex tasks,hes about 6 now and they started drawing mercury from his brain and now he talks and uses computers

[norkonid]

My little brother is the same, he was a bit ahead in his speech development, but got a shot when he was around 2 and almost totally shut down and went into his own little world. He's 6 and much better now but is still a bit behind in somethings, though now I can look my little brother in the eye and know he understands me.
