In this world currently I would hope respect =autism but we still have a way long to go and well .. currently mother with 2 sons I haven't seen any of those things in Michigan..too upset to simplify UK and Europe have a better grip then we Americans...sad to say angry to tears...
Getting respect while being aspergers can be summed up in two words and two words only...LIFT WEIGHTS. That way normal ppl see what a mistake they made by treating you as less then human when you turn your emotional pain into physical pain and get stronger while doing so. I've had many ppl who laugh at me become completely submissive when they see the muscle tone backed up with even mild displays of aggression.
My parents told me that I have PDD (an autistic spectrum). When some people found out that I have it, they began calling me mentally retarded. I'm confused...what does autism and mental retardation have in common? But for some reason, I'm actually smart, but I sometimes feel like an idiot when I do something wrong. Even though I'm kinda autistic, I have talents like playing sports and drawing. But how does this have something to do with mental retardation?
Hi. Im gonna give a strait answer. Respect for me as an AS person is that ppl understand that im being serious when im serious.. Many times iv breaked down in emotions until ppl get what im meaning.. Annoying
Oh and something i just thought of.. ppl that do things because they want to not because they need to.. Like for example my friend ask me if i would like to do something with her.. I said no i feel like being alone today.. Then i need to feel like thats ok and that she will do the same for me in a similar situation.. If she would ask me or me to her that to come over for something important then i would devote myself to her, thats another thing.. cheers!
Respect is very very important, also for an autistic person. Without respect it can lead to depression and hating ones self. But the balance between helping the other to ajust to the environment and respect can be sometimes very thin.
I made a video today about autism and respect, but it is more an art video were I was trying to express my feelings about this topic, that's why I didn't linked it to your video.
Respect and Autisim?As far as "society" and it's view on those two words as far as linked next to one another in a sentence will not be made understood no time soon. But if I could put in a better term (coming from an autistic woman not diagnoised until the age of 44),to an autistic,all I wish it could mean,together in one setence,is to,...be.
I have done a videoresponse but I will leave a comment to! Respect to me means that though we´re autistics we have the right to be individuals who are paving our ways in society! I am autistic myself, slightly a.k.a Asperger Syndrome. Respect is not somethin you just get, you have to earn it! Thank you very much again Philcommander for postin this video, it makes us wanna think! kudos from Sweden
i have Autism and i like that you make vids based on it it some times helps but oh well respect thats hard thing to talk about em a think people with autism dont get alot of it in the out side world.there are people with out autism who some times understand the problem but there are people who clame to be
exsperts on the mater but some one with autism that has the ability to speak and talks for them selves havent got a say on the mater some times get treated like some differnt speices!
That is what I have said in most of my videos, even though now my videos are going to be more creative. Realism, is...aadly an enemy for me, ask Phil what I say every morning and every night. Your words of wisdom rezonate with me
Once I began working directly with kids diagnosed w/ severe autism, I began educating myself on autism. I read MANY books and the best info I receive is reading books written by individuals on the spectrum.Their perspective is vital and insightful
I share what I have learned thru kid's books to teach peers about autism to encourage a more welcome community for kids w/ autism. I do my best to listen and continue research to promote awareness.
I guess people are ignorant when it comes to autism. I have to say It is so much better today compared to 20 years ago. I am always seeing things on the news about Autism and big radio stations are having benefits. I am happier to see recoveries through intervention.
the word "autism" has opened my eyes and has taught me to ignore the status quo - autism gave me "a get out of jail free" card from the materialistic self centred society. My son's autism has helped me accept differences in people and to ignore ignorance in others - it gave me great strength. autism taught me more me about, myself, life, people, their attitudes than any book or movie. Autism taught me what it means to "love".
I was told by social worker to shut my son in his room until he stopped screaming my son hates locked doors he was traumatised - when i heard his cries I told Social worker to go!! and was accused of being an ineffective weak parent!
"respect" and "autism" will vary depending on what autism means to you. I DONT RESPECT being lectured to how to feel about my kid's autism. Told to force my son to comply with societies expectations beyond what he feels comfortable with. I dont respect the opinions of "experts" who tell me to go against my instincts as a mother and force my son to do meaningless social acts because they say society expects, they know better its like state sanctioned child abuse and is cruel!
You are one of the reasons why Youtube needs to extend its character limits on Comments, Caz, Excellent and well said. Have you seen my response to this Yet?
The first thing I think of is that I want others to respect us as a family When we go places, I dont appreciate my child being stared at or pointed at or laughed at Have some manners and treat others as you would want to be treated
Continued from below... and I'll add a video slide show...
...and accepting his mannerisms, then I'm supposed to gently lead him into various things but frankly I'm not one to push people into things so I just stick with step one and he has plenty of interest in learning the rest on his own, on his own terms, and that's alright with me. I'm just there to be a friend.
I've been helping a 9-year-old autistic kid for several months once or twice a week and I can tell you respect is the core of what I've been able to offer him and it has been very valuable. Who wouldn't like respect? :-) but even more so, someone who has had such a tough time being himself in a world that doesn't understand and wants him to be someone else. The program is that I draw him into trusting me by giving him full respect...
Meh, I may leave a video response but on another account, mainly because the people who view my channel frequently would most likely rather see the regular crap I post than listen to my comments about my Autism/Aspergers syndrome.
I've noticed a maddening decline of respect in general, let alone toward the autistic community.
Having two autistic boys, I find it disrespectful that when it's revealed that they are, I get those looks of pity. I don't ask for pity, I don't ask for sorrow. Be happy that I have been dealt with what I'm dealing with. It makes me stronger and more understanding.
Not sure if this makes sense, it's just my two cents ;)
Well, "autism" makes me think of my nephews & many other children that I know personally. A few of them (more than I can count on one hand) are doing really well. As to "respect" in relation to autism I think few people give any respect whatsoever to those who've helped those kids out. Mainly because when they hear of the intervention they have a gut reaction to what they think the therapy means. PART TWO NEXT
This could be why I think a 3rd word is missing, "education." Whether you want to relate that word to what happened with the child or towards those who do not understand the literature of how children with autism have been helped, that was proven by serious research. Or maybe to say it another way we respect an individual who can say he has autism, but do we respect an individual living in an institution who can't talk? PART THREE NEXT
We can talk about it, but do we do it? You see that individual doesn't need your "respect." He needs your "help" & that is likely to come through procedures that "educate" him. Yet here we will talk wonderful platitudes of showing "respect" for those with disabilities while sensoring out anything about a person with real needs. To me people with real needs is the very definition of "disabilities" & until we can include them & their world in the discussion we are lost. PART FOUR NEXT
"Respect" comes when you follow that person & help them over long periods of time such that you come to respect what they can do regardless of the disability. I'M OUT OF HERE
Autism and Respect,what comes to mind is all the involvment from all different people. A radio station K.C.R.W. IN L.A. had a benefit radio show. There are other involments with the media,i cant remember off hand. I think it is a great and aware atittude.
Austism and respect should be two concepts that are realted. I am currently a psychology student, I have learned So much about autism by educating myself, so whatever field I choose to do in psychology. I can be better equiped to share what i learned. That is how I personaly respect autism. I can go on and on but Thats about it. It is nice to see you post videos again phil!
YAY you said my name (EGO BOOST)sorry lol just watch your videos on jake's story (THE EPIC as i put it) great stuff your the kind of guy thats making a better world for us ASPIES. I just don't want ASPIES in the future to end like me (jobless and hopeless) so i thought why not make some vid's just need to stop being cam shy. peace
Dude, you aint hopeless ok...seriously. The only time when life is hopeless is when youre six feet under or when you got two minutes to get to the liqour store that is FIVE minutes away...well, thats if you are an alky like me ;)
In this world currently I would hope respect =autism but we still have a way long to go and well .. currently mother with 2 sons I haven't seen any of those things in Michigan..too upset to simplify UK and Europe have a better grip then we Americans...sad to say angry to tears...
