Well lady, you know the old saying. Once you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism.

"And I did not know how to respond to that... because of the autism." Masterful delivery. Great line.

I wish I could go back in time and use this on the many occasions I was accused of not having autism. While working for a disability service. By managers.

"Turns out I'm not the 'memorize a phonebook' autistic, I'm more the 'it's hard to make friends' autistic" So hilarious! And me 🤚🤣

“I’m the hard to make friends autistic. “ This is the best description for me LOL.

I know how you feel, I've got 2 autistic friends, one of them has photographic memory and the other is a piano prodigy who is next level amazing at math. I just got the kind of autism that makes me really good at remembering who is and isn't jewish….

This is hilarious. when people say to me you don't look autistic or disabled, I didn't realize being autistic or disabled had a look, when disabled i respond am I suppose to walk around with my arm looking all messed up.

I've gotten to the point where my go-to response is, 'And you don't look like an asshole; looks can be deceiving :)' Does it endear me to that person? No. Do I give a damn? Hell no.

@@mygoldenwitch Well thanks for making people think all autists are spineless pansies. I get that it is tiresome to have to deal with such idiotic answers but reducing a person immediately to asshole status for not reacting perfectly when put on the spot in an unfamiliar situation doesn't exactly endear you to me either. Isn't that what we struggle with, socially? Having a hard time reacting properly when being put under the spotlight with no preparation? And there YOU go give other people a hard time as if not being autistic made everyone else king in that skill.

This guy is living my dream.... Being an autistic comic.😊

I am autistic and love legos. I don't build with them. I sort them into 67 plastic bins. I separate them by color. Neutrals in one bin (white, gray, black, brown, tans). Colors in another bin. I have a huge bucket that holds everything in old light and dark gray. I'd break it down further for clarity, but I don't want to be verbose. Please see the following comment below for what "verbose" means.

I love this. That's so satisfying

About a year ago I was talking to my doc about how I might go about figuring out officially if I'm on the spectrum, and he also assured me that I don't look autistic. I, too, didn't know how to respond to that, so I just did the thing where I sat there pretending this whole interaction hadn't been super unhelpful and disheartening and never followed it up in any way ever again 👍

I think us autistic people are better at communication, we will not bother having conversations we don't want to have 😊 so at least you know we are not pretending to want to talk to you. Also while I didn't memorize the phone book I did memorize the entire collection of encyclopedias at the library. All it did was make my teachers mad when I thought I was helping by explaining why she was wrong, honestly it may have not been so bad but when I was a kid most kids that were autistic were sent away to homes and it was thought to mainly be a dude only issue because of the lack of understanding anything about it. I was not diagnosed until I was in my late 20s same for my ADHD. Instead I was labeled a moody problem child.

@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse

I disagree. We are better and factual conversation. Which is usually pretty useless unless you're among autists or scientists. Actual communication among humans consists of non-factual components that are not irrelevant. They aren't filler. So we suck at communication. The males that is. The women are quite a bit more complex, it seems... unlike in every other regard, where women are simplistic and straight forward to comprehend :D.

If autism has a "look," it would look like me too!

Ever since I figured out that I'm likely autistic, I've been wondering if I also look that way. After watching this, the answer seems to be a resounding "maybe?". Like, I might, but it probably doesn't correlate with me actually being autistic.

When people say "You don't look autistic", they most likely think of Down Syndrome, because that condition, as far as I remember does have certain facial structure linked to it. Don't remember the studies or the actual name, but that's from what I know. But COME ON. What do you EXPECT me to look like? A chubby teenager with a half-grown mustache in an undersized shirt and glasses so thick, his eyes look like they've melted? Should I also be wearing a child-size bike helmet?

I think your cadence could use a bit more work and I don't know if the audio equipment was bad but I have a hard time understanding you. That being said (because it HAD to absolutely be said... you know how it goes), I'm not sure jokes about autism can ever go beyond cliches and tropes because it seems to me people still have a very hard time grasp the breadth of the spectrum. Personally, I hate that they want to get rid of the term "asperger's" for that very reason. That told people something. If I talk about autism today, all I get is "Well, you are a bit peculiar but aren't we all?" And I go "Well, yes and no. That peculiarity is what remains after I've put on a whole theater spectacle for you to think I'm 'just a bit peculiar' instead of pretty darn weird and 'what the hell is this guy's problem??' and now do excuse me because I have to go home and crash for three days due to exhaustion"
