My 10 year old son received his Asperger's diagnosis today. Your video was pointed out to me by a friend, and I am glad I watched it. I've been reading everything I can about it, and it explains so much. The diagnosis doesn't change who my son is, but it will get him the help he needs to succeed in school and, I hope, in life.

[joyischrissy]

It is a very nice introspective regarding As I have looked into the diet for my son but believe it is hogwsash!! love it sweet..

[Bopkasen]

Don't hit me but I am obsess with video game music and I like MIDI format. It kind of techno to me.

My video in YouTube I uploaded but I have Asperger Syndrome.

Now can I have that music?

I noticed you said Abyss of autism. You don't happen to be a fan of Tales of Abyss?

[Perico1973]

No I have never seen tales of the Abyss, I just like the word, and the movie by James Cameron.

The music, isn't MIDI exactly, but a Commodore 64 games music file. It is SID format, which I converted to WAVE.

The game is OCEAN LOADER, and is composed by Martin Galway, one of the best C64 music composers.

Those files aren't big, and there is a special SID player to play them with. If you can't find em online, please say so.

[Bopkasen]

Nice but I be bored to play Commodore. :P

Retard. 1/5*

[Perico1973]

Die, enormous bastard. With a burning cross in your yard!

[Somuchtosay2006]

HAHA That was awesome man, "Don't listen to the Americans, they say ohh aspergers is high functioning autism, fix it with a diet, BOLOGNA!" XD lol!

[D0NJUAN666]

Hohohoho thank you, amigo!

I should have rephrased that, to American Republican senators or congress man who are against any American citizen costing the society money, possibly.

So they basically say: autists, don't be a wuss, eat a balanced diet and go working on the chain gang!

[sak1974]

What's the final song? (kind of a scary way of ending the video)

[D0NJUAN666]

That's "Auf Wiedersehen Monty", a C64 game with music from the legendary Rob Hubbard (together with Martin Galway and Fred Gray, the best C64 composers).

I guess I used it as well, in video nr. 7 from Mallorca, the Grand Excursion, at the monastery of LLuc.

Yeah it is scary, but then I have in my cabinet a fine collection of horror movies, and since I constrain myself most of the times, sometimes I like to shock -- a bit ;)

[sak1974]

Nice, I also love the intro tune of Y R Kung Fu by M. Galway (based on Jarre's Magnetic Field 4).

Again, thanks for your video. Really nice place you are there.

[sak1974]

Nice video. Vernon Smith, who earned the Nobel Prize of Economics in 2002, has spoken about the benefits of mild autism (Asperger Syndrome) in a recent interview.

Check it here:

[D0NJUAN666]

Thank you for the reference article! I guess a fine selection of writers have Asperger's as well.

But on a personal note I'd object to the form mild autism. I'm just as autistic, it's only that my mind can camouflage and recognize things. Yet it is a hard struggle, and it determined my life in such a way, that it is unforbidding, and I only have restricted choices at my disposal.

[D0NJUAN666]

It's typical that Asperger scientists foremost see the benefits, they're so in love with their numbers they consider it a plus ;)

I can have special interests as well, that can consume my time for months, and which are later forever left alone.

[Yellowcatz]

You are a very brave man!! Society dictates conformity, but the only true progression and advancement for society must step outside of that, not many people have the balls to do it! You got big balls, if you don't mind me saying:)))))

[D0NJUAN666]

Hahaha no I don't mind, I already used the Duke Nukem "BALLS OF STEEL" intro in one of my videos ;)

Maybe I don't see it as much as having the balls, but view it as a personal necessity to live the life I lead -- I simply cannot do it any other way, and at the time feel convenient this way.

Of course 'normal' ppl want the career, wife, garden, big house, car and kids, that is why they would never make the choice. OR yes they dont want to be an outsider to society.

[Yellowcatz]

Exactly!

[dinahkcm]

Ik heb die checklist nagekeken (ik spreek ook Nederlands, dankzij mij moeder :p). Ik herken me in bijna alle punten. Ik heb altijd geweten dat ik 'anders' ben dan anderen, maar niemand kon precies aangeven wat. Door jou checklist ben ik wel aan het denken gezet en wil ik me verder hier in gaan verdiepen. Thank you for sharing this list :o)! Have a great day!

[D0NJUAN666]

Aaah, geweldig dat ik je heb kunnen helpen! Ik weet verder niets over je persoonlijke situatie, maar stel je wilt een diagnose, kan ik je aanraden om naar een erkend psycholoog te gaan, een paar sessies en hem of haar om een oordeel te vragen (zonder vooraf iets te zeggen).

Ik heb hierdoor aanspraak mogen maken op een WAJONG uitkering.

[D0NJUAN666]

But you will know deep down now already, if you are like me, or not. If you recognize all the points, that is a lot, a normal person only scores a YES on 20, or something.

If you have any further questions, I am always willing to answer them. Good luck!

Autism is a major election issue now here in Ontario. Funding had been cut years back for children over six and the current premier had promised to bring it back but didn't. :-(

[D0NJUAN666]

That is very sad, cause it is a very vulnerable group that cannot speak or fight for themselves.

I know under pressure of the Republicans autists in America are under attack, making a laughing stock of the severity of the problem, cause they require financial aid cause 9 out of 10 cannot function in a hard job society.

There are films on YouTube stressing this, I hope in Canada it is more human though! Thanks for sharing, see you in Stockerton!

[dinahkcm]

But it is hysterical conviction that every autistic child "needs" intensive behaviour modification, which is fuelling the panic in Ontario - this is based on bad 'science' - support is needed Yes! but let the parents choose what's best?

[D0NJUAN666]

In my honest opinion, behaviour modification sounds like a very bad thing. Only thing an autistic child needs, is a somewhat protected home environment, a school where it feels accepted at least by some ppl and a teacher.

Autists have immense trouble with doing something against their will or human nature, and behaviour modification sounds just like it.

[D0NJUAN666]

Maybe the science has a hard time with the fact, there is little you can do really. The genetic condition is so deeply rooted in the personality and actions...

Basically, an autist deserves his happiness. If it were to be he is exposed to a lifetime of intensive group therapy and sessions, where he is taught and remodelled to become somewhat of a model citizen..

[D0NJUAN666]

It's the world as it is that has a problem with autists, we ourselves don't, we just see it in a different way, and didn't choose the society it came with. :)

[canucktunes]

I haven't run into anything i'd describe as "panic" here in Ottawa. People are concerned. They don't want the government to short change the potential of individuals with the disorder.

[D0NJUAN666]

Most certainly, a cause of concern. South of the borer, the Dutch speaking Flemings and the French Walloons seem to head towards the desintegration of Belgium, on a sidenote..

Do you think one day the same will happen to Canada in this respect, or are things more unified, and you don't have ridiculous laws like in Belgium? (like, if they get a bridge, the other side gets a bridge too, even if it is not needed).

[canucktunes]

At the moment separatism is low on Quebec's list of priorities, the environment and health being the most pressing issues in that province. Political parties that once had no chance against the separatist parties in Quebec have also recently been elected in several ridings there. At the moment Quebec has strong lobbies so they get lots of federal funding.

[derksinge]

Just love the way you are Juan!

[D0NJUAN666]

Love the way you are too, Inge!

:)

[raz0rsex]

im so glad you finally shared your story. <3

[D0NJUAN666]

Weyhey Paulina :)

Yeah I could tell lots, but the video is now already 6:34, sooo.. it's good as it is, I am out of the closet online, the bullet is through the church, etc. ;)

It's who I am, but it doesn't change anything of course, of how and who I am on YouTube ;)

[FranFromBrazil]

Haha... great to know that you can live with your disorder the way you do...

Autumn... it's almost spring here but it's still cold... It's 50F today... brrrrrr

Hugs

[D0NJUAN666]

Well, Fran, the great way you talk about your specific disorder, has been an inspiration for me, to make this video :)

And well I do my best and all but to be honest, there is way too little ppl in my life I am really on the sideline of society. But that's tops for now :)

Huggzz

[FranFromBrazil]

You have no idea how few people I have to talk to. That's why I love YT so much...

Sending you Brazilian love,

Fran

[D0NJUAN666]

Yeah you are right, that is a great consolation, to know at least online you have a lot of people that know everything about you, and care, and talk back.

Even my camera is like a friend you can talk to all the time. Sending Some Dutch love, to the Brazilian spring, hang in there, it will be great!

[rawrcore]

eat the shrooms juan!

and i cant read your checklist :(

*damn my only knowing one language*

[D0NJUAN666]

Haha noo damn me Devon, for being too lazy still to put it in English, that should be high on my list of priorities, rather than pimping failtainment profiles.

Eating shrooms ftw!!

Plz.
