Had this my whole life and didn't know it. I wondered why life seemed harder for me than others. My personal appearance opened doors for me, but they were doors I could not function in. This is all a shock realy. My roomate I found out had autism, we are both christians and it seems God has used this to teach me even about myself. Also, a girl who has been my best friend these years is also, I guess my own kept me from really noticing it or understanding it but God has finaly revealed it.
@herpderpmonkey my first impression is at least others might quit bugging you about not being like everybody else. I am 34, so my parents don't realy care, I haven't told them because it doesn't make a difference I feel in my case. One day I might bring it up to help them understand me for their own sakes. I feel like it is a courtesy to others to inform them. It is not an excuse.
Dear Jack and Kirsten: I highly recommend that you watch the classic film "David and Lisa". Please watch it to the end. I think you will find it helpful and inspiring.
I don't have an autistic friends, but If I knew autistic people who embraced there differences instead of assimilating I would try to make more friends with autism. We need solidarity, thank you for being intelligent, clean and well spoken. These videos are really progressive and evolutionary for our community.
2:26 That's my problem. I honestly can't tell if someone is joking or if they're serious when they tell me things. It's like my brain simply cannot register they're telling me a joke. Other people obviously understand it's a joke, but I take it at face value. And then they tell me, "Relax. I was just kidding." I feel like 2 inches tall afterwards.
I also talk about thing that extremely interest me. And I can't tell if the person I'm talking to is no longer interested. I wish I was normal.
@isthereasunthereisnt Oh please don't misunderstand me. I am surrounded by people who understand my condition. An their empathetic to what I go through.
please everybody (not only including people in this video, which is great by the way) stop saying ass burgers and start saying asperger's. People online everywhere say that.
Honestly, I think the ability to stay cool in a crisis comes from having to deal with a lack of an sensory shell during childhood. When you have to deal with overstimulation on a daily basis, and not just tune it out, crisis is not as unfamiliar a sensation.
@LordNifty I don't think I can stay cool in a crisis, but some things just don't register to me as a crisis.
The deepfry is on fire -> hmm... well, we have about 2 minutes before the entire kitchen is burning. I'll better go get a bucket of sand. *2 minutes later* problem solved.
But then:
Giving college goodbye present -> Okay, I just stand over here, she'll have a break about now. Let's not make it look weird... *suddenly* Oh no, she's taking the other door. My plan is foiled!
I think the two on the right are going out. Cute couple?
