What it's like to walk down a street when you have autism or an ASD

[Someonece]

I had no idea it was like this.. i thought people with ASD saw the world normally but their minds worked a completely different way

[DrJReefer]

Seems a lot like walking down the street after smoking a fuckton of weed. Everything is too loud, too bright and everyone is staring at you.

[ruediix]

You need to use an over-bright prevention filter to prevent the brightness from removing detail and an altered gamma curve. Otherwise the over-bright areas will remove detail instead of increase them.

Additionally, instead of placing the sounds in mono, place them all with a slight delayed reversed waveform on the opposite ear. This produces a tone of background noise, but then increase their volume, instead of decrease the volume.

[atamagaiida]

I'm glad u made this. Perfect example for AS though I wouldn't know how NT see things. It would be such bliss to see the world as an NT :-/

[sesgardner]

the noise was spot on - I can't believe it's actually that quiet for neurotypical people! The other thing I experience (which you couldn't show) is I am almost constantly jumping from the sounds and, because of poor depth perception, I would be terrified of those cars so close by. I wouldn't know if they were coming at me or not.

[broad1134]

Thank you for this. I have an autistic son, non verbal, and doesn't sit, crawl or walk. I have often wished I could spend a day or even an hour in his body to understand how he processes life. Your video helps make this wish come true.

[hawx242]

what do u mean "flight or fight response"?

[axelsharam]

@hawx242 When anxiety levels are high, and you get into a situation you feel uncomfortable or scared in, your body sends adrenaline through your body to either fight the dangerous situation, or flight (run away from it). Imagine you're face to face with a tiger. You either fight or flight.

[autisticNintendofan]

its not avalibe on mobiles that's stupid

[PoohFanGirl1990]

This is why my brother, who has autism, used to cover his ears every time he went outside. We could never figure out why. Must have been really frustrating.

[MRMATRONIC]

Do you know, I only realised about sensory overload a few months ago. I thought everyone heard and saw the same as what I do. But it turns out, I hear a constant DRONE of noise which is the most frustrating thing in the world sometimes. Sometimes, the biggest luxury I can think of is absolute silence...

[ChocolateisIsNice]

This is good. I've done a video simelar to this about seeing a shop through an autistic persons eyes. This defanitly grasps what the wolds like for some people with autism. If you want any critisism for future vids like this, just make the showings a bit shorter, for it will likely loose the audiances atentian. Your ajustments though are defanitly better than mine.

[Lisaannjoel]

@ChocolateisIsNice

Your video is made Dec 6th 2011. I just watched. I also watched this one and I don't think it's too long.

[ChocolateisIsNice]

@Lisaannjoel

It wasn't actually made on 6th of December. That's just when it was Uploaded. Welll, it might just be me but I thought people could go off it, because they'll get tired of seeing the same thing for ages & we don't want that when were bringing autism awearness. No offense to whoever's made this at all. I really do like it & it grasps it well.

[Lisaannjoel]

@ChocolateisIsNice

Also you say if you want criticism but the person clearly did not ask for it then you critique this video when you also have longer videos. I can't stand it when someone does something after someone else does and then says stuff like this.

Honestly, this video reflects autism more than yours. Yours has some sensory issues that hold true but the rest seems like paranoid schizophrenia. In clothes stores I touch the clothes and they arent coming for me.

[ChocolateisIsNice]

@Lisaannjoel

I have lnger videos, but there not of the same thing for quite a while. I just thought, & the could just be my opinion that the viewers might go off it, because they'll get board of seing the same thing. Seriously tho, I think it is great & grasps the autistic world visually better than mine does.

[DiscordianDisciple27]

The sound is also pretty accurate, I have a hard time with parking lots, because the sound of a car starting up two rows away will make me jump, and I can't distinguish which sounds are important to my getting safely across the lot.

[DiscordianDisciple27]

I pick up lots of things, didn't know it was an ASD thing. I pick up sticks, hair ties, pebbles, pens, pencils, paper, business cards, anything that can fit in my pockets. I come home with all kinds of junk in my pockets, and I save all receipts too.

[thestarly99652]

Wow! You did a GREAT job with this video! I feel so sorry for the pople who have hese problems! I wish I could help them!!!!!!

[DarkTheAtheist]

I don't think I experience increased sensitivity or maybe I've just got used to it, unfortunately I don't have NT senses to compare it to. I am that easily distracted by things though when I'm not trying to calculate the number of seconds since the big bang or something else equally ridiculous.

[weaveintothewin2]

@DarkTheAtheist thanks your your comments some asd people don't have this problem :-)

[ooohprettycolors]

A good simulation. There are a few others on youtube as well which are good to look at. Obviously, not every Autistic person has the same heightened brightness and sound sensitivities - some people are under-sensitive. Personally, I experience the world much like you do in this video. It hurts but it can have its advantages - I notice things, sometimes beautiful little details, that other people never see. I can handle it all pretty well except in New York City - I can't go there alone.

[weaveintothewin2]

@ooohprettycolors "it can have its advantages - I notice things, sometimes beautiful little details, that other people never see" i know that one thing i like about it aswell :-)

[4UCLA]

Awesome. Of course it depends on age, my son would have stopped and examined the drain(s), tried climbing the pipes and would have liked seeing his shadow!  Also, he would have collected a bunch of rocks and discarded trinkets along that short jaunt. Of course he isn't even seven yet! :-) Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

[weaveintothewin2]

@4UCLA yeah I used to do a lot of that accept I seemed to like collecting bottle caps. I used to look down drains also. grown out of it about 90% sometimes I do collect trinkets if its a really good find like a hello kitty hair clip that my fiancée loved obviously we washed it first lol. Thanks for your comment

[bohemianhare]

re: 2:33 Green!!!!

Haha, but seriously, I've always looked at stuff like that when walking around, and much prefer cloudy days. The noise is pretty accurate, at least for areas where people are.

[weaveintothewin2]

@bohemianhare thanks :-) glad to hear its accurate could to get other opinions :-)

[FtLMale1]

Informative video, any insight into the challenges a person with autism faces is helpful.

Doesn't dark sun glasses and ear muffs lessen the sensory overload?

[weaveintothewin2]

@FtLMale1 yes they do help cuts it down about 20% at the best. Still good however.

[weaveintothewin2]

@FtLMale1 well 20% for me might be more for others, and thanks for your comment :-)

[moople2]

Thanks so much for posting. Have you seen the video of the image reconstruction scientists have taken directly from the brains of humans and even cats?!

I am an adult with strong AD/HD. I was very much able to relate to a few of your experiences. For me, it's more of a problem of chain-association. I see a child, she remainds me of my daughter, I have to pick the kids up tomorrow, do I have enough food, boy I could go for some grub... crap, I passed my car 10 blocks ago. Sound familiar?

[weaveintothewin2]

@moople2 yes, that sounds pretty much like me :-) thanks for your comment

[Willem654]

@UtubeMeatballPolice I do not think I am a jerk.I 've only seen the response of you on wich you said all people with autism should die.I think no one should die from being different from others.

I'm only against the responses to me and I hope you wont hate people who are different who have less possibility to live a normal life.

I'm not saying you have autism,but the incapability to live into the feelings of others is a form of it.

[Willem654]

@UtubeMeatballPolice

I don't like your ways of thinking,but it is only proving your autism more and more

[jakevidzz]

i have this, not very bad but at school when in noisy classes, it is very hard to even think.

i get distracted like that as well.

and when coming from very busy and very noisy places into a class room, i am very stressed, the teachers are so crap that they think i am noisy/quite because i'm trying to be annoying or not caring about the lessen, in a way i am trying to be annoying get a sign out there but they don't know that. :(

[weaveintothewin2]

@jakevidzz Thanks for your comment, i hate school as well i think most us aspies do, you not alone in that :-)

[jakevidzz]

@weaveintothewin2 good! school i way too noisy for my liking, worst thing is got to walk home by main roads= really sleepy at every school day, because it is so noisy. :/

but it is getting very easy to cope with. :)

[jakevidzz]

@weaveintothewin2 btw the way great video.

[blondynthebeast]

That's fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

[weaveintothewin2]

@blondynthebeast thanks for your kind comment :-)

[lesleybrownlie69]

thanks for posting xx

[lesleybrownlie69]

Am I wrong in thinking this Video was recorded in Strathaven ?

[weaveintothewin2]

@lesleybrownlie69 yes it was :-)

[aidensmom747]

Thank you for this. my 4 yr old son is autistic and has major sensory overloads. Especially when he has school and therapy in the same day, or while grocery shopping. This really opens me up to what my son could be going through and will enable me to help him more. Thank you and Bless you!

[weaveintothewin2]

@aidensmom747 no probs glad my video helped you :-)

[TheLittletwitcher]

Thanks for this! I was actually going to do something similar myself, but I don't have the technology to do it. Apart from the brightness (which you yourself said was too bright) this is exactly what it is like for me. Every tiny little thing distracts my attention. I have the sensory problems so bad I need a carer with me whenever I go out or I get distracted and walk into the road! 

[weaveintothewin2]

@TheLittletwitcher yeah it's hard to replicate wish i could put a recorder in my head to get it right but thats the closest i can get to it using the technology i have available :-)

[nagaempress]

These are the reasons that we are so good at what we do though :) the little details that everyone else misses.

[weaveintothewin2]

@nagaempress yeah that is a strength that we have which makes us good at certain things

[JCpatriots]

Ain't this the truth. Thanks for uploading. 

[weaveintothewin2]

@JCpatriots no probs glad you liked it :-)

[wwwTheBookbaggs]

Why were the people clapping in the distance? Was it a Soccer game or a basket ball game? Why didnt you let me see it, Who won? What were the colors of the uniforms? Im sure the yellow team won. Yello is a fearsom dominering color.

I saw a dime in one of the drains. Why didn't you pry the cover off and get it. This is driving me crazy, I am so overwhelmed just by watching the Video. ........Whew OMG it's over. Tell me where this is so I can go back and get that dime. I wont sleep untill.

[weaveintothewin2]

@wwwTheBookbaggs the sounds were added in for the second half to simulate. if there was a dime there it will be gone now lol

[MrsSimplicity]

I can relate to some of this!  Thank you so much for sharing!

[weaveintothewin2]

@MrsSimplicity no probs glad you liked it :-)

[VivaVALLEYvivA]

Dearest @UtubeMeatballPolice , while Karma may not be in your corner , how coincidental, that I just a few hours after watching this same short video you too [cosmically stumbled upon and happened to] have watched; will one day need life-saving brain surgery only my son will be able to perform and correct. Pleasantries to you and your future :)

[weaveintothewin2]

@UtubeMeatballPolice thanks for your input and views :-)

[DamiettadCarnivalle]

It is my considered opinion that people who have to deal with this level of sensory distraction, and who manage to "grow up", and make a "normal" life for themselves-- have a level of courage and bravery that few of us will ever understand, far less be able to measure, or emulate. God bless you all.

[weaveintothewin2]

@DamiettadCarnivalle thanks for your kind comment :-)

[elisa916]

Thank you for sharing. I have used this video during trainings introducing ASD characteristics to the general population. The comments left by others on the spectrum really helped me understand how on target this video is. The NT's usually say "Wow! Now I understand why my child..." It helped expand my understanding as well so thank you again for sharing your insight.

[weaveintothewin2]

@elisa916 no probs glad it helped you :-)

[beatsbabe]

OMG..eye opener, no wonder my son is often saying his eyes hurt and its too bright....Id feel like I was going mad if that were me, poor kids...need a better understanding xx

[weaveintothewin2]

@beatsbabe thanks for your ind comment :-) glad my video helped you

[crmbueno]

This is one of the best sensory simulation videos I've seen. My son, 11, is autistic and I understand some of what he sees but I'm still try to learn more. I work in a middle school autism class which taught me so much too, but a lot of the staff outside the autism field don't understand the tip of the iceberg. I would love to pass your video on to certain staff members to help others understand it more if you don't mind. Thanks!

[weaveintothewin2]

@crmbueno thanks for your kind comment , yes please pass it on to other thats what its for :-)

[PeteyBearsWife]

I have an 8 year old son with ASD, for the first two years at school he use to cover his ears and rock, i was told it was because the classroom noise use to overstimulate his brain. This is very interested.

[weaveintothewin2]

i use earplugs/earphones also its a good tip :-)

[bithespian]

@weaveintothewin2 No problem. =) It's not always too bad (at least for me), it usually depends of what part of New York City you're walking through and what time you get on the subway. And of course, how sensitive your senses are. I sometimes walk around with headphones in my ears listening to music and it usually drowns out a lot of the background noise.

[bithespian]

I love how accurate this video is! I usually get that easily distracted, too, walking down streets and pretty much anywhere that's crowded (malls, restaurants, etc.). And if neurotypicals think this is distracting enough, it's at least 10x as distracting walking through the streets of New York City. Especially Times Square on a weekend...or when you're on a crowded subway and you want to read all of the ads. SO glad my sensory issues aren't as bad as they used to be... Great video! =)

[weaveintothewin2]

@bithespian well the little village in Scotland i done this video in has only a population of about 7700. I think your really brave to walk through New York City. I don't think i could handle that cause the videos i've seen it looks like everyone's packed in together like sardines. I do that ads thing in Glasgow's subway but its not nearly as packed as new york would be max you get is like about 30 people down there but that's bad enough.

[weaveintothewin2]

@bithespian thanks for your kind comment also :-) 

[MyEventHorizon2012]

I love all the comments here. This is the most accurate video I have ever seen pertaining to how I see the world. I even smiled at the bit he got excited with the green.. it is so like me lol. I don't think you made it too bright either. There are some days I feel that glares are that bright. Excellent job weaveintothewin2. My heart goes out to each and every one of you that can relate to this video. Namaste

[weaveintothewin2]

@MyEventHorizon2012 thanks for your kind comment :-) you put a smile on my face today.

[TheRantt]

Wow. This simple video captured so well what I live everyday. Thank you. I hope other non-Aspy folks can see this & better understand what we go through. I actually don't mind the "distractions" so much as I kind of like spotting so many small things that others miss. Plus it helps in the hobbies I have. And I always just thought I had superb hearing with all my "Did you hear that?" moments. I didn't learn until later it was part of my aspergers. Thanks for the powerful visual this video gives

[weaveintothewin2]

@TheRantt i enjoy spotting the small things also i used to hate it but now i realise i see so much other miss. it helps here aswell i enjoy wildlife photography and spotting the smallest bit of movement and sound it's good for these times.

[NiamhFrancisPianist]

This is really good. It's why I don't even leave my apartment some days. If I'm in town doing stuff, I forget every few seconds where I'm going and why, because there's so much input. Sadly I can't wear the earplugs I invested in because I have recurring ear infections. But I can wear my sunglasses, only I struggle to remember to change into them from my normal glasses. Great video. The second half felt very familiar to me.

[weaveintothewin2]

@NiamhFrancisPianist Thanks for your kind comment , the ear infections are a problem good that you can wear sunglasses i forget to put mine on alot of the time also.

[bunnasoo2]

Oh my gosh this so totally explains why autistic people don't seem quite "all there." If that was how I experienced the world, ALL THE TIME, since I was born, I would create & crawl into my own shell too just as a way to protect myself from going stark raving insane! Thank you so much for posting this insight. I think I get it now. Is living inside this protective shell what keeps some autistic people from connecting with people from childhood and that's why they can struggle socially?

[weaveintothewin2]

thanks for your kind comments. i think we struggle socially because we are so busy dealing with all the other sensory information we might not be aware of the fact someone is talking to us or miss body language/ voice tone or just completely switch off. In adult life alot learn to not shut down as much but our minds are working a lot harder to stay focused, so we often need breaks alone in as much isolation as possible.

[NiamhFrancisPianist]

@bunnasoo2 The bubble we live in does contribute to the social problems. Our energy gets drained by all this input and distraction so we don't have much thinking space left to talk. It's part of why some autistic people never learn to speak at all - some are constantly overloaded so it's impossible to engage speech on top of all that. But besides sensory overload, we also don't naturally understand people. Communication doesn't come naturally - what to say/when, facial expression, personal space

[lissann75]

thank you for giving me an idea of what my 8 year old son see's and hears...Its hard for me to know what its like for him...this gives me a little insight...

[weaveintothewin2]

@lissann75 no probs glad my video helped you :-)

[abluemidnightsky]

Thank you!! My son is autistic and this video definitely helps me to understand him better.

[gunga4]

thank you for posting this. this explains why my son had so much trouble learning to talk. we kept getting his ears tested because we thought he might have been deaf - he didn't respond to us speaking to him most of the time, yet he could hear the train coming long before any of us could. thankfully he's speaking now, part of his problem was related to epilepsy which he has grown out of. but after seeing this, how he was acting makes so much more sense. thank you.

[weaveintothewin2]

@gunga4 one of the gifts is being able to hear at longer distances and things a neurotypical usually can't eg high freq noises like the tv making that whining sound, However the down side is it's hard to focus especially as a child and will take us a lot longer to adjust to this world. We spend alot more time in a zoned out state and often will have to return to that state to recover even in adult life. he heard you but with everything else going on all at once had to keep shutting down.

[Triciatly]

This is actually a very good representation of what I experiance everyday. It can be difficult to deal with and even harder to get other people to understand/belive me.

[weaveintothewin2]

@Triciatly thanks sorry dont think i replied to you must have missed your comment :-) sorry about that. hope this video helps people understand/believe you

[BetaEvoTV]

I'd like to retract my comment, I didn't read the description. :)

[weaveintothewin2]

@BetaEvoTV no probs i tried to include all possible symptoms into the one video instead of making lots of videos with different symptoms. so for some asd people walking down the street won't be as hard as this for other it might in fact be harder. but everyone is different and its impossible to show all possible combinations and levels

[BetaEvoTV]

@weaveintothewin2 Just curious, but do you have autism?

[weaveintothewin2]

@BetaEvoTV asperger's syndrome so im on the autistic spectrum

[ASDogGeek]

very good, were you near a base ball field or something? this is actually quite accurate though for me I don't see things as bright as you do but we look at simukar things and hear very simularly for me breaks in paterns can either get my attention or startle me it really depends. wow it the world REALY that quiet for normal people? shame we cant record smells too those are an issue for me too

[weaveintothewin2]

@ASDogGeek thanks no the sounds are added in to give an idea of noise levels and that fact that we can hear things at great distance as if near by.

yeah i am sensitive to smells also however but i agree adding smells would be good but no way has been invented yet.

[homemadePAUL]

y dont u wear sunglasses?

[weaveintothewin2]

@homemadePAUL I do but it's still pretty bad even with 100% uv but better than none

[AutisticWhoLives4God]

Pretty good. My vision is easily distracted like yours. I also have tactile issues. If I walked that path, I would feel too close to everything and avoid touching the bush and stay away from it.

[weaveintothewin2]

@AutisticWhoLives4God cool its good to hear other peoples views helps alot with the bigger picture

[princesskemo]

@weaveintothewin2 yep this is completely accurate

[weaveintothewin2]

@princesskemo thanks for your kind comments, glad my video helped you :-)

[CuriosityRocks]

Very accurate especially the noise level. : )

[weaveintothewin2]

@CuriosityRocks thanks glad you liked it :-)

[MYSTAND111]

The world is a weird and hostile place for Aspergers people. It takes huge ammounts of patience and self control to survive in this world. But as we learn to cope, we get stronger and more skillful and have perceiption, (and information), almost no normal person has.

[weaveintothewin2]

@MYSTAND111 thanks for your comment i agree we do get stronger and see more detail than others once we overcome and learn to live with the initial sensory overloads.

[AnastassiaCMF]

Nice video! I find it funny, actually, haha. But I'm understimulated. I'm on the spectrum and actually I used to look at all that stuff too, still do, but the NT part is actually more like what I experience walking down the street.

[weaveintothewin2]

@AnastassiaCMF yeah some people on the spectrum don't get the sensitivity to sound, light e.t.c no two people on the spectrum are the same.

but it's good that it gives you an eye for detail i find it can be handy to notice things others don't. i think we would make good detectives or good in CSI e.t.c and other things that need a keep eye for detail.

[pilfer235]

Superb video. I am currently putting together some training for derby city council, and was wondering if I could utilise some of your videos in the autism awareness section. Please let me know if that would be okay.

[weaveintothewin2]

@pilfer235 sure use any videos you want or think would help i made these so they could be shared and help as many as possible

[xLonelyAspiex]

My brain works so much like a computer, it stores pretty much any piece of information it an process even little things and can remember them many years later, as if it weren't long ago. I can pick up a bunch of small sound at once, sorta of like a enhanced audio application if you you know what I mean. I can take many things in at the same time, depending on what frame of mind, I'm in. Sometimes, I go into scan mode when I'm in a new area and look for every piece of detail.

[xLonelyAspiex]

Nice. Very well done.

[weaveintothewin2]

@xLonelyAspiex thanks and thanks also for that great description i like the computer analogy thats a great way of putting it :-)

[micheals1992]

lol that video is exactly the kinda things i look at while im walking down the street. i see a car going past and see an image in my head of the pistons going up and down and the cam/crankshaft turning and all the other parts moving (like the drive shafts, suspension etc). i think i enjoy doing it. i also look at the floor and examine things while im walking (like u was saying drains, cigs etc). i only have mild sensory problems though that only badly effect me when im stressed or tired.

[weaveintothewin2]

@micheals1992 thanks, i think we see alot more details we would be good in csi or something that requires seeing small details although as you say sometimes the sensory problems can be irritating :-)

[micheals1992]

@weaveintothewin2 lol that is so true i remember guiding my dad through a forest back to the campsite in the dark by what i could see on the ground and the sounds from the stream

[weaveintothewin2]

@micheals1992 I sometimes think i have in built night vision most of my friends trip up over there feet without a torch (flash light) and walk into things when we are camping in the dark but i can see fine about 100m in the dark of a field even if its cloudly on a new moon night. So having eyes sensitive to light can be a handy thing in some cases.

[missangie29]

This is a great video my son is 12 now and has severe autism he always has a toy to his ear he must do this to block out the sounds that he hears when hes out ...made me see it from his eyes thanks x

[weaveintothewin2]

@missangie29 no probs, that sounds like his comfort blanket to deal with all the sensory stuff when he is out and about. I often play with my jacket cord to take my mind away from the noise.

[cpixiperry]

my son has recently been diagnosed as autistic thank you for making this it's helped me understand a bit better xxx

[weaveintothewin2]

@cpixiperry no probs glad you liked it :-)

[jhofsk8]

Bless you for doing this!! I think it will help some NTs gain better understanding.

[weaveintothewin2]

@jhofsk8 no probs glad you liked it just wish i could put a recorder in my head and record everything i see and hear etc. but thats the losest i can get :-) 

[jhofsk8]

Bless you for doing this!!

[vercon9]

I have Asperger's Syndrome and this is almost exactly what I experience when I walk down a street. Thank you for trying to help neurotypical people understand what life is like for someone who has an ASD.

[weaveintothewin2]

@vercon9 no problems , just got the brightness a bit wrong its too bright at parts but thats the closest i could get to the real thing

[JimmyPi314]

So an autistic is like a tourist except they may be walking by a familiar place yet is really observant of the things around them? (I'm an autistic)

[weaveintothewin2]

@JimmyPi314 it is like being a tourist i'd say your right about that even if i have been somewhere before it's like it's new because there are always very small changes to places that most people dont see. so the same street always looks different to me each day i travel down it.

also the sensory problems like everything its much louder and the sun is much brighter and all sounds kind of mishmash into one sound so it's very hard to listen to a conversation on a street cause i have no filter.

[JimmyPi314]

@weaveintothewin2 I once told my mom and brother that I noticed that the hinges to a door of a certain building entrance at my university was deteriorating and the door became all "loose" with no dampening. They told me "why do you notice these things when there are better things to pay attention to?" lol

[weaveintothewin2]

@JimmyPi314 lol i'm the same i get comments like "your so nosy" lol i'd say why do you not notice these things. We have a good eye for detail.

when im walking down the road i notice things like elastic bands laying there, crisp packets, the marks left by car tires, the rainbow patterns left by oil from cars in water and lots of other random things that people miss.

Also i hear things like the tv whining and other noises that are high frequency and most don't hear.

[JimmyPi314]

@weaveintothewin2 I think that most neurotypicals would also notice the things you noticed but they don't really care about it or give much attention to it because it isn't anything "spectacular".

[weaveintothewin2]

@JimmyPi314 yeah that makes sense

[iamher87]

When I say the autistic world is more " brightful" and " colorful" people tend to get me wrong. But, YOU, got the sense of it. That´s what I mean. Colours affect us differently because we are visual thinkers.

[weaveintothewin2]

@iamher87 yes people say my photography is very colourful but i just take pictures how i see so my pictures end up lsorta ike disney colours 

[iamher87]

Hmmm... Craig. There are sounds that do not not get my sensory overloaded. Kinda, I dislike some kinds of sounds others not. And, taht´s true about the light, we see too bright, I love wearing hats and sunglasses for that. And, YAY, TO GREEN, it calms me down and I usually look at colours to get relaxed. I do this at malls, so colours wil distract me and many other things, like numbers, letters. I should make a video like that.

[weaveintothewin2]

@iamher87 its easy to get distracted by thing i find any detail that breaks the usual pattern was attract my eye to it and i have to wear sunglasses alot aswell. I think i made my video too bright its hard to copy the brightness i see with a camera its a type of brightness thats hard to show.

[iamher87]

@weaveintothewin2 when I was a kid I also loved blonde hair. I remeber I have approached a girl and touched her hair an dshe was atotal stranger. I´ve learned not to touch people(strangers), but sometimes I still go like " yay green" and picking up stuff from the the ground. I look at and it distracts me, but I dont pick it and bring it home. Do you have facebook?

[weaveintothewin2]

@kegasuru thanks glad you like my videos

[lurchskin]

This is pretty accurate. When you add to that trying to avoid all the people constant zig-zagging in front of you when you live in a busy city it's no wonder we feel exhausted after something as apparently simple as a shopping trip.

[weaveintothewin2]

@lurchskin thanks lurchskin :-)
