 Hello everybody, how are we all doing today? Welcome to another Aughty Time live stream. How are you guys doing today? It has been a bit of a strange week this week not really sure how to like Characterize exactly what this week has been but Definitely feeling a lot better Then like midst of burnout, so it seems like I'm on sort of a stable positive streak at the moment How are we all doing? Hello Ghostface Draws. Welcome to the stream live stream If you guys haven't been to one of these streams before basically It is an opportunity to ask me anything about autism about mental health about all various sorts of things, so I just saw a super chat. Thank you for the super chat mister Um, oh, you remember for two. Oh, it's not a super chat. It's a membership Thank you, Austin hydrate indeed Is my wet is my mic working okay, Austin? Because it seems like there's a bit of background, but I don't know if I'm using the right mic or not Yeah, so I was the same anything about autism mental health anything that you want to ask me personally About fitness about self-improvement. This is a place to go. No, no wrong questions If I don't want to answer something I just want so don't don't feel any any pressure to like Ask weird it in the right way or anything It's all good Did you do so um? Yes, sir. Okay good At least on YouTube Why is it about it is it bad on Instagram? I have to like move my camera forwards or something. I did have a mic I had like a lapel mic, but I had a very annoying situation before where It went out of charge, but it didn't might make any beep or anything like that So it doesn't like tell me that it's it's disconnected And I remember I think I think it was about a solid seven or eight minutes or like ten minutes Where I was just talking and there was like no audio Exciting Yeah, so um Just thinking about New videos that I'm gonna be putting out soon. Obviously I'm still going with the reaction stuff. It seems to be Seems to be going well And Next week so next month Sort of presentation videos that I've been doing I'm gonna be like pretty much like Well, I've got a list of them should probably check because my brain is not It's it's getting better in terms of processing speed and such, but it's not quite that Things are a bit crazy at the moment I'm gonna be doing a video about like my opinions on certain like Controversial orges and topics because I mean I've had a lot of stuff Happening like on social media and things and people sort of misinterpreting what I've Mental intended or said So I just thought it'd be good to make like a Solid video to like air out my sort of opinions on various things So that will be that one. I'm also gonna be doing a video on autistic fatigue Which is kind of like Basically like like the acute sort of short-term version of Autistic burnout so it's um Is a good one that Where are the other presentation videos I have Once I'm gonna be doing a video on my life as an autistic person so that's gonna be quite an interesting one sort of delving into My experience sort of through primary school to diagnosis secondary school Obviously my taekwondo stuff university sort of traveling years, etc 100% and then a Little bit of an introduction I guess to the channel because I haven't really done like a I did like a channel introduction before But I haven't really done like an updated one like now that I'm trying to like Properly take the content creation seriously, so we'll be doing that so it should be good Uniquely named here says how do you Thomas are you feeling better? I'm yeah, I'm getting there, you know I'm getting there. I'm feeling a little bit more comfortable and Okay, and myself. I think I just got kind of caught up with all like the drama things at the moment Okay says hello. Hello. Hello Larva says hello. Hello Welcome to the stream Okay says In the super chat for thank you very much for that. Okay, I'm borderline autistic and ADHD diagnosed at 42. Do you mean you are borderline autistic? What do you mean that you are you have like BPD autism and ADHD so I'm not too sure But thank you for this super chat, I really appreciate that Nice to see you back King. Thank you. Good luck a Autism and asexualism. Yeah, I mean, I definitely I try to stay away from things that I don't particularly like Have a lot of like personal experience with But I will consider that I will add that to the topic list because I did a podcast with PJ or It's like kind of like the abbreviation of autism and We were talking about autism and asexuality and stuff and that was a really really interesting podcast then Definitely want to do some a bit more stuff because it does seem that like there is a lot of I don't know hate towards asexual individuals, which seems really strange It's like they're not they're not engaging with anyone. I'm like why is what why do people have to like Make up certain. I don't know people people misinterpret a lot online and they don't understand like people's personal experiences I have found that with especially with with the online stuff like Related to disability related to like neurodiversity that people I Don't know. They kind of have sort of a Like the character they sort of characterize the entire movement the entire thing like every single person within that as like being impulsive or trying to get attention or trying to You know do all sorts of different things. They kind of is in sit assume people's intentions with everything and think that like Everybody just impulsively like applies labels to them just to like You know Get some kind of clout, which is absolutely crazy is like there's probably the better ways of going about it than doing that Yeah, that's just what I've seen I Have both is that is that quite is that quite difficult for you? I I did I have done some some research into like Borderline personality disorder and I don't know. I've seen some individuals talk about Like they were they were talking about how I I don't know this it's strange with the personality disorders and that because it's I suppose they're a little bit different, but to like of a sort of psychological diagnosis, but a Lot of people have different theories about like whether like BPD as another expression of another sort of personality disorder or diagnosis And I've heard some people mention about like BPD and autism as well, which seems seems I it's not really something that I've delved into so I can't talk on it for a Large length, but I have seen some people talking about that Which is is interesting. What do you think about that? Okay? Kayla says yes tea time. It is indeed. Have you got your I don't know why I said or tea time I mean it it sounds nice doesn't it? I mean, I'm just coming to the realization about 40 episodes in the I don't drink tea I don't drink tea. Why have I named it or tea time? It seems like a very silly thing to do doesn't it? But it's it's the aesthetic of having a tea, you know and sitting down and Have a little cupcake afternoon tea with a little caffeinated beverage, maybe I Definitely like like my caffeine. It's just usually not in the form of tea Hello Joshua lovely to see you dude and high books right drawn nice to see you again Dax of autism. Hello. Hello. Hello Go space. This is just a question for me How do you deal with stress from things I've been having a lot of stress due to school Also having trouble with my gender as well. How do you deal with it? I think you know stress in general. It's kind of like a pretty stable part of my life, you know It's You know as far as I can remember Into my into my sort of early childhood. I've always been like Extremely anxious and stressed pretty much All of the time I think that there is an aspect of like learning to roll with it a little bit and what I mean is like It's if you do find that you are kind of stressed out quite easily and you're quite anxious That there is a lot that you can do to sort of de-stress you in like the instant, you know But it's to some degree You know depending on the person and the situations whether it's like a situational thing or whether it's just something due to you like Related to you like personality or related to like an anxiety diagnosis It's just let learning to like work with yourself and be like a friend to yourself, you know, it's like if you If you had like a friend who was always just like worried about things all the time It's you know, it what you were doing kind of like in that situation is you would Try and like ground them and you try and like so like it's okay to feel sort of stressed and worried about that I understand and it's just about I guess having a bit more of a kind Approach to yourself and it's not it's not about necessarily just saying like okay. I'm anxious today. I'm not doing anything kind of thing I mean sometimes it can Be to be something to that degree, but it's also like You know, you validate yourself you understand that okay, perhaps today's gonna look a bit different than usual because I am my stress levels are quite high And so you you saw perhaps chop down a little bit of what you do And you basically just try and approach the day trying approach things With the approach of trying it and not necessarily Completing something, you know, you say that oh, okay, I'm gonna try and chip away at this rather than I'm gonna complete this so you know and the stuff with school like I completely Well, I mean I hesitate to say completely, but I do definitely do understand how like stressful the school environment can be I definitely try and mitigate it as much as possible trying use sensory supports perhaps like go to places during the lunch and break times, which are not as Sensory provoking like for me that was the library used to go there quite a bit And just to just try to manage your environment as much as possible that you know like there is a lot that you can do in terms of like reframing things and obviously like Breathing techniques and things like that that can sort of help with stress But I imagine that that you're not looking for me to to give advice like that because that's like pretty much Known by a lot of people who struggle with anxiety and stress But yeah, I hope I hope that's somewhat helpful it's um it's definitely hard and I Definitely just try and experiment with things and see what works for you Deans says hello appreciate your help and info. Thank you very much Kayla says I'm drinking coffee. Yeah, Advita says coffee, please Very much so I Definitely go and check out ghost ghost face drawers. I definitely go and check out some I think I don't know but I do follow this person called like the gender specialist or something I think they make a lot of content around that I'm sure they'll have like something related to more related to like the gender stuff It's not really Something that I've it's have a lot of experience or knowledge around Books right draw says hi mom mom is constantly comparing me to people. She says has autism and survive But I know she only met one autistic person. Would you say that comparison is weak at best? I Don't I think comparison is like quite often not not a good thing like it depends why they're comparing, you know like it's Trying out trying to think just trying to read her again. Just make sure I got it, right? So are they are they using the comparison in order to say that you are able to Do the things that they ask you to do or do the things that you want to do I think that would be Variable But the issue is with comparing like any two autistic people or even comparing an autistic person to Like an holistic individual is that everyone is just widely different different circumstances different privileges different Traits different personalities There's there's so many things that go into like someone's life that someone's success someone's You know any amount of different things that it's it's a very silly thing to do to come like Compare yourself to people a lot of the time unless you're doing it as like a source of inspiration yourself. I would say What do you do for a living? I do public speaking and training and I'm trying to do a little bit more content creation at the moment and enjoying that but it's taking a while to Set up and sort of get everything sorted but once I'm on a roll I should be good to be good I hope you've staying hydrated with some water. Thank you for the reminder. Josh Fuji or hydration chat hydration reminds a specialist I do I've got a very minuscule amount of water left from My gym ventures last night. I Was I went I was very silly Like I was at the gym. I think last night I was at the gym for about four hours Now before you jump to me like be like, okay, you will wait training for four hours like now I I Try and I try and wait train four times a week for two hours Each I do a lot of work sort of doing that. So I try and do like a lot of intensity But I've recently started adding in I've for the new year. I've added in two sessions a week where I will do like an hour an hour of like kicking and Punching and shadow sparring and stuff. So I will be making some like I'm reels and stuff with me doing my boxing and my Muay Thai and my taekwondo and stuff. So Hopefully with time it'll help me get a little bit more healthy in terms of like the cardio from but also like last last night was just a bit of a Flump because I just couldn't get on the machines that I wanted to go on and if you're artistic and you've been to like The gym and you have like a set routine. It's really really difficult to deviate from that or like change the differences and change the differences Change the exercises that you're doing and so I did a lot of waiting and then like I got a bit overwhelmed So I had to like go to the changing room for like half an hour So I so I ended up just with everything combined. It should have been three hours, but it ended over four hours And it was very late But I had a good good sort of walk home it's quite cool outs quite cold out at the moment and Usually that would be a bad thing, but it was quite inviting because of my Cardio stuff I need to like chill out a little bit Physically Big nerd Sammy says hey, how are you doing? I hope you're feeling better. Thank you very much, Sammy I'm not not doing too bad What's in general are your thoughts on autism and OCD I Understand that it's different. There's different things of course, but like but like our autistic people more likely to develop OCD I think some some of the year the traits of autism and OCD are quite like highly sort of connected together So I know I know someone In my in my life who has OCD, I know a couple of people one was Mr. Nick ransom and you know and From from one of the podcasts that I did we're talking about like relationship OCD and Yeah, definitely some of like The four patterns. I mean for myself. I do have a lot of like repetitive thoughts About things that I need to like do during the day and like sort of I Don't know How to explain it. I just I have like repetitive thoughts about certain things that I can't get out of my head until I do them You know, but I don't necessarily Have more of like the stereotypical kind of Stuff related to like cleanliness or like Avoiding bugs and diseases like germaphobia and stuff like that It's not really something that I experience but in terms of like the way that my thoughts work and The way that I organize myself. I think that there is some like crossover with that Yeah, I mean I Kind of I kind of I feel like I get on with people who are like OCD because it's kind of The way the way that we sort of like routine and organization is is is quite similar I would say and like in terms of thoughts and sort of issues that we that we have like in our brain. I feel like we can Empathize with each other quite a bit Hello artsy-martsy pants Or with all respect, of course Oh, I enjoyed tea. I am very behind on the comments. So I apologize peeps Destiny destiny simply me says hey from Canada 40 today, I think living high anxiety makes it hard to recognize that there's anxiety if that makes any sense Yeah, it's I think I know what you mean It's kind of it's hard to to figure out if something is something in your life is causing you anxiety when you are Like because it's it's not necessarily that when you haven't done an anxiety disorder that it's just every day There's just like a little boost to your anxiety. It's very variable sort of day to day and Sometimes it's quite hard to know if something is causing you anxiety or if you're anxious and you're like fixated on something, you know so I definitely like Empathize with that Because puns are the best it's funny that you don't like tea Good employees be less likely to hire you because of autism. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of stigma around it that is for sure and a lot of them do see it as like a Charity effort rather than like a benefit to their business, which is Something that I try to change a lot with like the presentations that I do Like the training that I do Might not be here for too long as I'm out with friends celebrating my 18th It should be very very soon congratulations Joshua G turning 18. That is awesome Kayla says that's my problem at work. I'm trying to find somewhere away from bright lights Then my brakes might actually be recharging like they should be Yeah, yeah 100% Travel with love says thank you and guests for sharing your experiences. Happy Saturday Everybody greetings from California wish you all the good health success and happiness much love. Thank you. Yeah, the background is fake Hello, Kenzie Paige, nice to see you policies. Hi glad you're doing better today Thank you Do you grimace or contort your face with ASD? I mean I don't I've never heard of it being like associated with autism, but I have like ticks, yeah facial ticks Which I don't really do unless I I'm either like really stressed or Overwhelmed like if my social battery is very low or if I think about it So there's so I'm gonna move on from that one because I don't want to Don't want to do so but You do for health care Probably the usual stuff I would say I Mean a health care wise like obviously Pharmacological intervention is You know has been part of my life since I was very young who to follow Lots of people I couldn't I couldn't definitely like I Couldn't figure out one one individual person You are not autistic. You are normal. I am not normal How dare you I Am as weird as can be and I am very happy in my weirdness, and I am definitely autistic My good Overly honest gaming says I have ADHD with recently diagnosed autistic partner who's very new to this journey Do you have any advice on how I can support her and share information without overloading her delayed processing? I think it's a very personal thing Like I don't particularly know what you're like and what She's like and what your sort of relationship with each other is but you know, perhaps do your own sort of Research and stuff and like if you see like a reel on Instagram or like a post on Instagram, then maybe like Send send them that Send them a video I have I have found that people who are just Like if they're if they're not quite on board with the whole autism thing And they're still sort of bogged down with a lot of stigma and things like that. They can sometimes be quite Defensive in like people wanting to Help help them educate them like around autism If you know, I mean Weirds weird word. I like weird. I like I like being called weird. It's nice tears heaven when one has trouble with sleep You obviously not disabled. You're not autistic. You should see me. I am a real one You're a joker I Maybe I should do a real like so I do have some like footage of me as a kid So I was that I was diagnosed when I was 10 years old I Do have some footage of when I was a kid I'm probably gonna like sit through it at some point just to like do like a video on it I think it would be really cool. Maybe I could do that for my My life of autism thing like incorporate some What's it? Like clips of me as a kid that'd be cool That's just my parents though because I know that it can be somewhat You know, it's like it like family stuff, you know, my dad used to record me Record like me and my brother growing up quite a lot. It was kind of like his special interest for a long time And he was pretty much always like with a camera in his hand apparently mom I'm used to get a bit a bit frustrated with him Sounds like me when I went Travelling crazy. Yes, happy birthday Book says that books right draw says time actually terrified and keep overthinking the worst-case scenario And I'm terrified of losing parents health care at 26 Matt and reckless and looking for jobs who do not hire I'm sorry to hear that Sounds like a difficult time Unique name here says I might have missed something what happened to the reaction streams I was gonna binge a few yesterday while clearing up snow then noticed they were gone at least for me yeah, um, I Have like because I've been trying to think of ways to Sort of make like the membership like a little bit more appealing So I've moved the like the raw streams over to my My membership section but the like The at the actual the actual videos that they're pretty much all sort of edited and put up Onto like in those like separate clips So if you wanted to watch them, you can definitely like just go and look through like all of the the different videos I do sort of edit them and make them it make them a bit cleaner, but they are basically the same thing. I Hope that's okay Uniqueness as Laura reminds me of Joe quiet. You're so weird. You're so weird. I'm autistic. No, you're not. You're so normal It's true It's true. I'd like to learn more about overloading and delayed processing Yeah, may perhaps I should do should do a video on that as well. Let's add that to the topic list with autism and delayed That'd be a good video to do One hundred Katie Pell says hello Thomas. Hello Do you think there's someone with autism could just get away with smoking a lot to improve their symptoms? Um What do you mean get away? I mean, it's You know, I'm very much like in the camp of like what does it mean like a difference like a new a neurodivergency and such So I don't necessarily see it as like a problem to be fixed in that sense Or at least for my own experiences How many of you all have been told you actually have really fast processing but your tension is near non-existent That sounds a little bit more on the ADHD side of things just from from immediate sort of reaction Footage of you as a kid would be great. You can point out all the signs As a kid for others to see. Mmm. That'd be cool Yeah, I'm sorry uniquely. I was just trying to think of like ways to because I've got quite a few members at the moment and I just want to make it like worth it. I guess In a sense and it seems like It's him like the right thing to do But I mean the memberships are out there about a dollar a month So that there is cheap as I can make them, but they do they do help me out a lot Thomas, do you see autism as a difference or a disability? I kind of I'm stepping away a little bit from like the the idea of autism Like autism is definitely like a disability like there's no no doubts about it. I have done some talking on like the aspects of Autism being like inherently disabling and I think it's it's it's a very difficult question to Answer because everyone's individual experiences can be so different So it's it's kind of like a thing that doesn't really need it need to be answered Talking about myself personally, I definitely do not feel like Disordered I think that that's that's the word that people like to use because I understand that like from doing a bit of research that You know claiming kind of the word disability is very much like Integral sort of part of like the advocacy community and so I'm I'm stepping away a little bit from using like talking about My own experiences as not being a disability and it's more like I don't necessarily I'm not necessarily like inherently disordered from being autistic It's only the only the only aspects of me being Disordered tend to come from like mental health conditions particularly. I hope that that that clears up When I yeah get away from pharmaceuticals, I mean, it's I think it's very dependent on the person, you know I I've tried not being on far pharmaceuticals and every single time it has ended badly And that's both like in the short term when I was younger, but also like in the long term Like those, you know, like a year or so where I didn't and it just didn't it just wasn't The best time I couldn't I couldn't really function. So yeah, they are definitely important to me Well, a lot of messages guys struggling to keep keep up today with them. Hello, Katie. Pearl Hello exception. Do you know anything about dyscalculia? um, I Know of it definitely like I've done done some like preliminary reading into her, but it's I Think my my brother's this dyscalculic Yeah I'm definitely not like the best with like mental maps, but I'm pretty good at algebra But I think that's more due to like it being more akin to like a logical puzzle than What I see is like maths, but maybe What you thought some criminals like Elliot Roger and Chris Chan They are both autistic and committed horrible plot crimes. Well, I mean, it's definitely like it's um Like autism is not is not inherently like tied to someone's morality like that that there was for a long time in sort of the history books people Sort of painting autistic people as being like devil children and being like Inherently sort of immoral and bad, which like obviously like in some cultures like in other cultures It's kind of the opposite depending on like where you live and what the culture is around it and so like with kind of the whole out of a kissy movement people tried to somewhat like counteracts that by saying like like Saying kind of like the opposite but autistic people kind of Angels we never lie. We never do anything bad, you know anything about nature Where it's just it's just not true like it's it's really dependent on the person what that person's values what that person's morals are It's very very different person to person you know Being autistic doesn't make you immoral or bad Being autistic doesn't make you great or like a saint, you know It's dependent person to person Paula says my processing speed is definitely slow It makes it hard for me to respond quickly enough so the conversation has already moved on 100% I relate You guys just having a conversation about Mary Jane That video is like popped off quite a bit Jesus like crazy I don't feel disordered, but I do feel disabled I can't perform in a social aspect in the world is social so it can be In its so I can't really be in it in the neurotypical way Thanks for showing your experience lover. Would you say it's difficult? It was difficult when you started to create as a public speaker. Yeah Yeah, 100% I Mean that the reason why I started doing my podcast in the first place was to like improve my own sort of verbal and Communicational skills with other people So I wanted to be able to do to do that like both both for like personal reasons, but also for Like getting Getting a bit more comfortable with Not having a script I guess and I found out that through through doing my podcast that I actually prefer not to use a script I prefer to have like loose bullet points for things. I love to see a bit of discalculia. I Well, I will put it in the I mean again. It's not really something that I have experience with so I tend to Try and do videos and things I have experience with most of the time But I'm sure I could do like a Sort of a basic video on like dyslexia and dyscalculia and maybe like it's links to autism In that sense, I don't know if there is a link or not Paralysis for bad spelling. Don't worry galaka. I Studied function diversity at school as an assistant nurse, but you made me want to learn more So I applied to school so I can do so. Thank you for pushing and helping me improve me. Oh Thank you galaka Same year in good company Exactly, it's a pendulum from inherently evil to inherently good No autistic people are human We are imperfect and capable of anything like no autistic people. Yeah I'm sad Oxy says thank you for showing the opinion Someone diagnosed at 40 and doing pretty well for myself until a major burnout hit find myself confused as to how I feel about my diagnosis Yeah, well, it's it's the whole thing like you know, it's some Very individual thing, you know and don't let anyone kind of take that away from you this kind of Understand it in your own in your own time do some some reading about it. Try and make the adjustments to your life that Give you like help you sort of Function and do the best in life and and be happy and avoid sort of negative feelings and such Once you do that You can kind of like assess like how you feel about it because it is a difference and I do think that there are You know as as we're talking about autism in generality, you know, obviously used to be in general I can't talk about every single person's experience all the time But I do think that in general there are some like positives and negatives I would say Hello smack rag Uniquely joke about being weird slash not weird is this you might hold you hold your head in a nutshell Wherever I know I I feel disabled depends on the day and we're going through Interesting. Hey man props on being jacked. I didn't see that coming. Thank you I mean, I've been working out for like three years now so far It's been going well. Have you tried crud crud on? No, I haven't I've done a lot of research into into things like that and It does seem that there are some some inherent like Potentials of dangerous circumstances with that kind of stuff You know, you've always got to Be posed and like I do somewhat have quite an addictive personality So like with things like like at the moment nicotine is like the biggest thing that is the issue for me So I try I try to Look at things like that and think about whether it would be good or not for me and I Don't I don't think it's it's worth the risk and I don't even know if you can get it in the UK even like easily rather and I don't think it's I Don't think it. I think it's illegal in the UK Same with Carver. I think Hello, Figgy. Nice to see you Red says at this point, I don't even want caffeine anymore. Hmm. I'd see Smartsy pants and exceptional in spectrum. Please stop requesting to come on video Please Nathaniel says talk about the benefits of weight training and autism. Oh, I could go on forever about that I talk about it pretty much every live stream. So perhaps maybe we could not Go into that for this one I would want to work out routine, but I'm tired working my road to a regularly weekly schedule. Yeah, just like work it in Over time Find that caffeine makes me sleepy. I just think I am odd Figgy. Are you ADHD? I Can't remember Thanks for the exposures about THC and Aussies. Yeah Spoke for 30 years and it saved my life Do you find that you have an oral fixation with nicotine? Yeah, I think so I pushed a button once so so sorry must be a glitch kind of try and exit and rejoin Don't worry about it. I don't really know how it works to be honest I mean from from my end it kind of looks like it's constantly flicking on and off for some reason I don't know why it does that. It's weird You're not Thank you exception. See you later caffeine can hinder decision-making research suggests it may lower neuroplasticity I'm trying to learn to make those decisions and learn to grow seems counterintuitive. I Don't think I made HD I have heard from a lot of people who are ADHD that like caffeine can make them sleepy. I Don't know if it's something related to like You know the the reaction that ADHD is can have to like stimulants or something. I don't know if there's Kind of anything related in that sense Maybe a new law just got passed that makes even coffee a reason for DUI where were you based Eric? But hold it says. Hey there Thomas. Hello. Good to see you again Guess who's just finished their first week of a new job and everything so far is going great. Is it perhaps you? Congratulations that is awesome to hear. I hope things go go well for you I think that the assumption that autistic people can't be a moral stems from a tendency to infantilize us You know, I see that I see that they seem that we can't be held accountable for bad things We do any more than the child You know what? I I I I see that 100% I think there's that that is an aspect of it that infantilization It's pretty crazy Do ADHD meds make people feel more autistic? Autistic originally started concerta and my need for a routine a version for change and sensitivities have Have increased I'm getting stuff done now I mean I can I can only speak from like a third person perspective because I'm not I'm not ADHD or haven't been diagnosed But I Have heard it that from from I've done a few podcasts actually on like Audio HD and ADHD and so like the the crossovers and stuff, but it seems like when when people Do things to like I don't know they sort of mitigate the stresses and difficulties that come from like One aspect of themselves like ADHD or autism that the other one just seems a bit more apparent If that makes sense. So maybe it is that when you when you have You know meds that can sort of make functioning a little bit easier in some respects that Maybe you're just a little bit more aware of the autism things. I mean That makes more sense with like the routine and the version to change but like Sensory sensitivities. This seems You know, perhaps there is something related to like Energizing your I don't know. I can I can only like Think Think about it or offer things. I definitely Go check check it out somewhere there. If you if you find out at some point, let me know Or I play bass for the hour Hello, Darkman doll Glad to join your life. God's have you I must be an ADHD because Caffeine can make me sleepy at times Hmm Colorado does have strict laws against driving on the influence of substance that empires driving ability person taking a medication that cause drug drug drowsiness could cause DUI Even if that drug is legal and sold over the counter like coffee or caffeinated beverage I've never heard of people being like charged for Like having a lot of caffeine in the system I do know that like for me it can make my anxiety go crazy sometimes that is for sure Hello for fun studios team. This is unrelated to anything probably, but do you all miss people? Yeah, sometimes I Travelers says for more research, I do ADHD recommend researching Dr. Amen on YouTube Never heard of them.
