  • in high school, it was awesome, I was accepted by everyone and I was prolly the most popular girl in school which was awesome, I wish that people wouldnt look at us weird because really we are like the same. I really wish people would accept it because really buddy we cant help it right, it happened when we were not even born yet, everyone is unique in a certain way like you and me. I love my trains, I love horses and just living the life I always wanted! Take Care thanks for sharing

  • As for me I have the high functioning form of it so I can basically do whatever and not have problems, one problem with me is socializing not sure if you had that it hard to stick with one person in a relationship, my attention span to that person is hard and want something else. I wish I could stick with 1 person, My fiance and I are on hold because you know I need a break its too fast and I cant deal with it. School was a total nightmare myself, getting picked on but you know what when I was

  • Hey thank you so much for making a video of this, you have a lot of guts to come clean most people like myself who has it like you know hide because I am ashamed of it. I hate talking about it, I hate it when people ask and stuff. Im used to loud noises when railfanning and what not, but you know what when driving the loud noises help when you hear sirens or emergency vehicles like flashing lights catches me eye when I am driving along.

  • You're a lot like myself. haha

  • stay strong little dude =)

  • my son was diagnose 2 weeks ago..what r some of the common challanges u have with this condition..any info would help ..th

  • Beck-Protocoll ... a try doesn´t hurt!

  • I don't have alot of these sensory issues that alot of these youtuber aspies describe.

    Probably cuz i was brought up in a more crowded city,im just used to noise.

    I am obsessed with working out,or at least i was.

    Thing is,when it comes right down to it,your family members are the only human beings who realy give a fuk about you.So represent that through out your life and be something.

  • hai.

  • :o I'm like that too! Kinda every loud thing hurts my ears, I use headphones even when I'm not listening to music lol, I hate when my bf makes really loud noises he dosn't realize it really hurts, he thinks I jus say that cuz it's annoying D=

  • @YonicaBaby do you have aspergers?

  • Thank you for sharing. It is a very inspirational video. It helps me. :)

  • This is a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing :)

  • @gopher793, you know there is one benefit to us that have aspergers and that is we threaten to the extreme around haters like you

  • its alright dude your not the only one with this problem sadly me and my closest friend also have aspergers, so I cant be around anything loud or bright so you can imagine how i feel when someone shooys a gun beside me, or thunderstorms, also we are antisocial most of the time unless its with friends and yes its hard to join others converatations and know what their meaning

  • You explained this very well! Good job! :)

  • Thank you for posting your video.My husband found out he had aspergers til he was 33 he has problem with the light outside plus crowds of people and noise.He always ready and writing always keeping his mind busy part of his aspergers and OCD.Having a hobbie and doing something that you really enjoy helps you alot.Have a great day

  • Hi mate, thats a brilliant little video. Your very brave talking about your Asperger's and you actually sound very confident. Your a fantastic young guy and think you will go far in this world. Good luck to you. Take it easy and enjoy life.

    Best wishes to ya

  • What you are saying is very familiar. My son also has Asperger's. He is now 17. Thanks for sharing your life with us :)

  • @tword101 Your Welcome! I Guess People With Autism Spectrum Disorders, Can Share Similar Traits.

  • @skyman2002 Yep! I have Aspergers Syndrome as well!

  • its alright buddy I may not have aspergers but your still a nourmal person so its alright you are a cool kid

  • Oh yeah, and I talk without stopping. Thats my main problem.

  • Just a side note: most of the people with AS I know, have met, seen, and myself (so no offense can be taken), have big lips. O_o

  • @USMCnBNSFdude i've got asperger's, & my lips r average sized, & so r my bf's, & he also has asperger's. but both our asperger's r so mild that u can't even tell we have AS (him just a tiny bit but not 2 bad)

  • My results of having AS:

    -

    The ability to name the battle of any given month of World War Two, off the top of my head.

    -The ability to identify and airplane by it's sillouhete.

    -Anxiety. Every time one of my siblings goes missing for 10 seconds I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack.

    -Insomnia

    Most of this stuff doesn't sound like a result of AS, but it is. I used to have all the problems with loud noises and things when I was little, but not anymore.

  • Thank you for sharing your story.. GOD bless you

  • I have aspergers too. your not alone.

  • There seems to be an increase of aspergers and autism. it could be the vaccines, other environmental factors, or a mixture of both. Even my brother is autistic. And the fucking media just covers everything up.

    The fact is, the elites want us to be non-functioning members of society, and they try to break us down mentally from birth. Damn them to hell.

  • @ExploringProphecy Don't get too downhearted here . Those élites depend on the masses to be subservient. Lets give the buggers hell and in the end rot out the dynasties and lock them up. Only an autistic person would have the passion not to let it drop. People on the Spectrum are on their case & will not let it drop.

  • @ExploringProphecy I don't think it's any of those things. I think it's because AS is more easily recognized these days. 60 years ago people with AS wouldn't be noticed, and it was just assumed they had a low IQ or something, like Forrest Gump. I hear a lot of story's from friends and family who had old relatives with AS, but were certified retarded when they were kids, instead.

  • So cute

  • You are so cute. My boyfriend has Aspergers too. Best wishes to you.

  • my son is alot like you.but hes only 4 years old.plus trouble sleeping. and he likes trains! he also loves putting puzzels together!

  • nice job buddy thanks for sharingkeep it up!

  • I have Aspergers Syndrom, in Heavy Form. They discovered it when I was 7, because I had social problems, and was obsessed with watching fire. They trained me for another 7 years, and you almost don't notice anything of it. I like computers, but not obsessed. I am doing better with social interactions. So people: please don't see us as totally, social broken, helpless people. The most of us, are very good to train and, sometimes, you don't even notice the Syndrome. Just give us a chance.

  • film a tornado siren, you wont like that! there loud... good explaining

  • You should get a job with the mbcr or Guilford you would be the prefect person for it ,it would fit you well they make great money, have great health benefits and pensions I like all of your videos, your very good with your camera you brave all the elements, well good luck and have happy new year from Jeremy.

  • Thank you for sharing and teaching me. Dude your great! Thanks!!

  • Thank you for this important information. I guess Asperger's is a bit different for everyone. Anyway, you look good, are easy to understand and gave a shining smile at the end of the vid. Good work.

  • Thanks you, my son is autism in I is 9 yr. Old

    It give me hope for is live in this world

  • Thanks for sharing, mate. This was very informative. Keep it up. :)

  • Good stuff, little buddy ! Keep posting !!!

  • I find it very interesting how people with Aspergers have specific talents or interests that are extremely strong! My brother who has aspergers has a memory better than mine even though he's 9 years younger and he's obsessed with acting!

  • i have aspergers too. do all railfans have aspergers? do you have to have aspergers to see the awsomeness in trains?

  • i have aspergers also,

  • @UP5140SD70M Aspergers Goes Well With Trains!

  • @skyman2002 yea i totaly agree, with you, GE makes the worst trains ever

  • @UP5140SD70M actually no, you're wrong. GE doesn't make trains, they make locomotives. and GE is actually the leading manufacturer in the industry today, plus more railroaders like GE units because they pull better, brake better, and are more comfortable. my dad is an engineer and I ride them a lot, and I like them better as well. what makes you say GE is the worst, hmmm?

  • @ImpyLane gevos blow up, i dont care actually i was a ge hater, since i was 6

  • @UP5140SD70M gevos don't blow up, they had a few instances of turbocharger failure and that has been fixed now. you hated GE since you were six? you knew nothing about them then and you still don't, you hate them because your a foamer who doesn't understand them and just happens to like EMD better. haha, your just like every other foamer out there.

  • @ImpyLane well you might want to shut up and quit innoying me

  • @UP5140SD70M I'll shut up, only because I got you cornered with facts and it's "innoying" you :D

  • @ImpyLane i was not rying to be mean but just i think emd rocks and ge is junk,

  • I Think We Better Stop This Fighting Before Someone Gets Hurt

  • I Think We Better Stop This Fighting Before Someone Gets Hurt

  • @skyman2002 i agree, with you.

  • Thank you alot, skyman! :-)

  • Faggot. You imbisile. You're a fucking tool for coming on and talking about something that doesn't exist.You're just as pathetic as any other fucking person with a petty problem. Think of the fucking famous people with aspergers. You know how it effects me? It makes me not hold back on telling whoever I want exactly how I feal about things and that's nearly all. So wheal yourself off to mamby pamby land you fucking baby. YOU SUCK!!!

  • @SuperCommentDude2 - i would greatly enjoy the opportunity to smash your teeth down your throat. you need to learn respect, be thankful i dont live near you or i would put you over my knee. grow up, if you dont like this video, you and your terrible attitude can move you ass on to another video. by the way, your a disgrace to your parents and those around you.

  • @gogetter690 Lol hurr hurrp hurrp hurrp chill out special ed. You talk alot of shit for a person who has no concious thought. You really wanna fight me you dim-witted imbisel? I don't care. I wouldn't fight anyone if they even tried to hit me. I would lay on the floor and avoid it as well as I could :)

  • @SuperCommentDude2 - fight you? lol no, your just a child. it makes me angry when i see some little twit trying to be a bully. your just a small pimple on societys ass. no need for violence, your clearly not capable of defending yourself. you just need a good smack in the chops to set you straight. one day i hope you dont have a keyboard to hide behind when you speak to someone like the way you are speaking to me now. karma is a bitch little boy. its not cool to pick on those with disabilities.

  • good job dude, great vid.

  • nose tics when speaking

  • thank you

  • Is it common for aspergers to have som kind of hate against thier own family? Maybe not hate, but some kind of paranoid thinking about what others think of them? That makes them not wanting to socialize with thier own family? Often inside, dont want to participate in activities?

  • Comment removed

  • I might have aspergers.

  • awesome videos corey! I too am obsessed with Trains and Train horns. Back in 1986 I went to Calif. to visit my Sister and that is when I really got into my passion for Trains. my sister lived about 3 blocks from the RR Tracks and every time we heard the horn we ran to the tracks. we even used to hop the ones that were going real slow and hopped off when I gained enough speed. anyhow! I just wanted to share my interest in trains with you and commend you on a great job. take care be safe...

  • This can be a devastating to one's life. I encourage people to educate the public on this. I too suffer from moderate Aspergers with symptoms severely impacting my ability to socialize with others.. I was constantly bullied and picked on up into my early 20s. To this day knowing how to make friends and conversate are my biggest challenges. Having a girlfriend has eluded me my whole life. Happiness has eluded me my whole life. Thanks for your video and many others on educating others.

  • @RB902050 Good luck to you my friend. I don't know what I have, but I talk or rather I "speak" to myself compulsively. I do it pretty quietly but sometimes people notice. I usually try to pass it off as singing or make it look like I was just trying to help myself think out loud. After watching videos I know It's not Aspergers or High-Functioning Autism. Maybe some type of Tourettes. It happens worst when I'm stressed out or thinking of something embarrassing that happened or I almost said.

  • @SpecialFester Oh my GOD I do the same thing and I get caught sometimes . Lucky I am a singer because that's what I pretend I'm doing too! I have hypothetical conversations out loud and don't realize that I'm doing it! No, it isn't aspergers but I am ADD so that explains how I am able to tune out and go into auto-pilot.

  • Comment removed

  • I have Aspergers too.

  • thanks skyman. It's nice to be educated from someone who actually has aspergers!!

  • We Need To Exterminate The ASS Holes On This Plannet Like YOU!

  • Man If You Really Had Aspergers You Wouldn't Type Like This

  • Comment removed

  • Hi Skyman,

    You look and sound like a truly nice guy! Good luck getting to know everything about trains.

  • I'm quite sure you have AS. I would suggest doing a search for Paul Cooijmans 'GAIA' test, and doing that test. It is free and assesses the degree to which someone has AS, as it has identified many of the definitively AS characteristics.

  • My brother has Asperger's Syndrome too. He is a nice guy and a fantastic artist. People need to understand that it varies a lot depending on the person. Heck, I myself may have it.

    Btw your train videos are totally awesome. :D

  • @motleyprism I have it too, im just stating that, that is what people are calling it and how they are pronouncing it

  • Comment removed

  • you know what i hate, when people think aspergers sounds like ass-burgers

  • @WolfgangPain If it's supposed to be correctly pronounced it's called "Aspaerger" It's german. The vocals has just been changed in the english dictionary to make it easier for the english/americans to say themselves. If they knew how to say it right, this stupidass nickname would never exist.

  • @stelkin656 stfu ass-burger

  • @guitaHer099 Go shoot yourself fatass US whitetrash.

  • @stelkin656 fuck you. go back to denmark you ass burger, legolas wanna be scandanavian mother fucker. dont you have a disco-tek to go to or something?

  • @guitaHer099 I already AM in Denmark, you fatass retard, how am i supposed to "go back"? And i was born here too so i can't be a wannabe scandinavian. And it's still called Asperger, you ignorant trollcunt not "ass burger" You're probably thinking on some US whitetrash sex game where you supposed to be eating food from each others anuses. I bet you love that sort of games. Now go ask your daddy to take of his pants and get you a happy meal.

  • @stelkin656 i dont want to hear about your sick fetishes you viking nigger. Go back to your eurobeats and your pillaging of wide areas of Europe and the North Atlantic islands. dont you have a pickled herring sandwich to go eat or something? or maybe you'd prefer an assburger given your deviant sexual interests. hop of my dick legolas son of thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood. yes i know bout chu, bitch ass nigga

  • @guitaHer099 I was talking about YOU eating junkfood from asses NOT myself, you failass retard. Man you're pathetic. Just throwing random curse words in my head, or repeat what i said. Hopping on dicks? Sorry fatass but unlike other queerass trollcunts like you i don't do that. I see you haven't taken my advice of putting a bullet to your head. Probably because you don't even know what a gun is, in spite of living in the US. Google it , or go ask your dad.

  • @stelkin656 go climb a wall of dicks

  • @stelkin656 If this interaction was meant to take challenge someone for

    making fun of the word aspergers you hurt your point when you used the word "retard" as an insult. And people are not trash.

  • @JonahTorn Geez, i forgot all about this thing. Look, this guy was an obvious troll(Which automatically makes him a plain no lifed retard) And he started bashing on me. I just gave him back. And by US white trash, i of course wasn't refering to the whole US population. Trust me, people like this also exists here. Though im not one of them.

  • @WolfgangPain I take pride in my assburgers thanks very much.

  • Finally, there aren't jerks on here thinking someone is making a video for sympathy. I watched a video about someone talking about a condition they had and people told him to stop trying to make people for sorry for him. Happy railfanning!

  • To anyone that says he doesn't have Aspergers.

    It varies for people; it's not the same for everyone.

    This kid probably has it worse than you.

    You're not cool because you have this syndrome.

    No matter how much you try to hide it, you're a little autistic.

  • I have so much respect for you for posting this. My boyfriend has Asperger's and I see him as someone who doesn't have a disorder because I focus on his personality much more. You're brave for posting this :)

  • @Ninja691 lol fag

  • Hmm I would say that the thing I notice about your voice is that you say 'r's very sharply.

  • lol retard

  • @guitaHer099 what the hell?

  • @cooldit1 what? he is a little retard.

  • I feel like that when I'm hungover

  • @bjornarnerolf what do you mean

  • I have aspergers too and I have a beautiful girlfriend for almost 2 years now and I live with her. I have a good life so don't think aspergers has to hold you back in life.

  • you seem like such a sweetheart!!! thanks for sharing :)

  • Dude I Have ADHD And PDD And Depressions that some times its hard to control X.X

  • This is actually pretty sad.. I know how you feel, my friend has A.S., and another has autism. But it's good that you don't let yourself down and you don't let anyone offend you :)

  • u r soo nice. i hav autism, but im really high functioning. wen i was younger i had a speak problem and now i talk perfectly fine. it was very brave of u to express how u feel about having aspergers syndrome. i think in real life you'd b a very nice person to meet. :D

  • I dont know why you sound like that, that is actually less like Asperger's than anything.

    I am not saying you don't have Asperger's I am saying that it is not probable that these symptoms are Asperger's and I have seen this before. You just need language therapy & I don't think you have a hard time understanding words because you clearly have a hearing issue not an understanding words issue because you understand words that are written. This is also not necessarily anything to do with Aspergers

  • nöff nöff on you 2

  • damn puig

  • i would just like to thank you for posting this video, i think you are very brave and you seem like a great person. I am trying to get a job as a Personal Care Worker for a boy 21yrs of age who has the same condition you do. And your video really helped me understand this a little better. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this.

    Take care.

  • I just wanna express one feeling, normal people are all alike, don't ever ever listen to them, they just repeat like sheep, i would like to see more confidence in you guys, ''normal'' people are teasing and make apserger and alike into some inferior labels so they can feel superior whilst they are not...i had mild apserger till 2-3 years ago, i grew over 90 percent of ''bad'' ''symptoms'', by just accepting myself equal as everyone else and vice versa.

    I hope this help atleast one person :)

  • nice job. Thanks.

    I think when you focus on your trains, it's like meditation and it relaxes you because you don't think of anything that upsets you. Hence, it's a good thing to focus on one thing for a long time and concentration is a good mind exercise. Pick other area's to focus on just to practice focusing on a new thing.

    Good luck.

  • I was diagnosed with Aspergers a few years back, and I notice that lately more and more people have been diagnosed with it with less of the qualifications just because they don't fit in socially. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that?

  • QUEER!

  • QUEER

  • @HowToSwagga ur a queer!

  • Hell dont blame Asperbergers for all that. I have that too, dont feel bad, its not a disease or anything. Bill Gates CEO of that computer company has Asbergers syndrome. Basically people like you and me have an obsession with trains and we like to know as much about as we can. We are obsessed with trains, like some people are obsessed with pussy! LOL

  • Thanks!

  • I have Aspergers too, and I just...well, be myself, and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks.

  • I have PDD-NOS and think your video is great. You are helping people who have AS by letting them know they are not alone and you are helping people who do not understand AS, that want to know more. We need more people who are brave enough to create these kinds of videos so more people can understand.

  • Thank you so much for posting your video. It helped me so much that I'm actually replying - the first time to anyone. I think my son has Aspergers too. I love him so much. There are so many wonderful, awesome things about him. I can tell you are awesome too. I pray God blesses you all your life.

  • yeah I wish I could be your freind,!

  • this kids got it bad haha

  • @charlesskf  thatz not funney kid

  • Shane?

  • Feels less meaningful to say but the first word I thought of was brave too, especially on youtube, where there's a high population of cruel people. I used to work with a five year old autistic boy, it's a hell of a condition. Thank you for sharing this.

  • you are so brave to talk about how this affects you. I truly appreciate your posting this

  • I have it too......it's hard to cope with...

  • you are very brave, there needs to be more people like you to get awareness of these sort of things, top effort!

  • i feel so sad i havee it

    i have scensory issues cuz once my bro put his ipod touch on HIGH so when i herd it i was FURIOUS. I see things like a ghost passed my room. My life was scary when i saw my first pop up at age four 1/2 5/5 stars

  • This is a very informative video directly from a person with Asperger's.

    You are a brave person and you should be proud of yourself. Keep posting your videos.

  • Your a strong person sky man,.. I wish I had your passion for trains... I just paint them with graffiti.... You seem like you would be a very good friend!! Goodluck brother

  • cool video keep up the good work

  • you are so cute!

  • good job mate iv bin diagnosed wit it,its hard,,,peace

  • Great video skyman, keep up the good work.

  • I think you are awesome!!

    Blessings to you!!!

  • well good for you! Reading what you had to say, touches a lot of people worldwide and gives them all some sort of validation! aspergers is world wide and needs all of you to tell your story!

  • :) Hello =)

    Very interesting way of seeing everything :D

    And I  see that you can handle it, that's great :D and it so funny that you are obsessed with trains! awesome!

  • Maybe You Need To Go On Wikipedia And Get Some Understanding.

  • Good for you skyman, always remember that there are a hundred times more good people than bad. I hope that nitwit takes your advice.

  • @clonekillerz Hey why are you such a douche bag? geez. you must have a mental illness in order to pick on people. if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all you jerk off.

  • @clonekillerz Because nerds need loving too.

  • good video man, thanks for the info

  • Ha Ha! I'm Obsessed with trains too. I'm obsessed with a lot of things. I see rhythm in peoples faces, (which creeps me out sometimes) and in telephone poles and stuff when I drive past them. I take everyone seriously all the time and I'm always a little late picking up on joking around and stuff. But how can I be "in the moment" when I've got such an amazing perspective on everything around me all the time. Its all a big systemic pattern to me. Beautiful. I wouldn't change it if I could.

  • What do you mean "I see rhythm in peoples faces"?

  • Rhythm... to the likes of synesthesia.

  • Good to know that kind of clears my thoughts about A.S and it doesnt seem to be a mental thing because besides a little speech thing you are perfectly normal. God bless

  • I think you sound just fine.

  • When you meet a person with aspergers or autism guess what you've met a person with aspergers or autism. We are all different. The only common features are taking things literally, and wanting to be alone.

  • whoever has Asperger's are Unique!! The simplest way of understanding Asperger;s is to think of it as describing someone who thinks and perceives about the world differently to others! I struggle iwth social interaction and got misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder!!

  • I think you sound just great!

  • It's significant that you are obssessed with trains and railroad. Trains and railroads are a common all-absorbing interest among people with Asperger's.

  • or art :) i'm an aspie and i love music, photography, photo editing, music remixing, audio/visual editing (making amv) and many other things... i love programming and other stuff

  • Remember, that Thomas Jefferson, who was President of the United States had A.S. too as did Sir Isacc Newton, one of the most brilliant scientists of all time. Your a good person and that's what counts most in life! Thanks for telling your story.

  • Just thank yourself good sir that you didn't grow up with the same emotionally confused family that I had to deal with. It made things a literal Hell. I'll never be able to forget about ever. I've forgiven my mother and father but, sadly there's still a little resentment in the back of my heart. They're good people but, they didn't know how to accept themselves let alone a kid with Asperger's. Say what you will about the Catholic Church. But, it kept me from killing myself in those dark days!

  • God Bless you! Keep your faith and remember, Jesus is always with you.

  • You did a good job with this video Cory! And I enjoyed the video you made about your new Apple Macbook. Your video shows your very good at using technology. Better than a lot of people in fact!

  • david lynch, bill gates and steven speilberg have aspergers

  • this video made my day and i have AS as well thanks man!!

  • Thanks for a great video!

  • I have taken care of Aspies kids. Tis true what you say!

    Thank you for posting this vlog.

  • Now i have to work but i watch this video istead because now im obsessed about (maybe) this syndrome yes i will lose my job again but i dont care because i feel i can be more ! yes one day i will have my on company who invent weapon shields !
