Yes!! I hate different sounds, like the sharp “s”, eww 😩 Also these throat sounds when people talk in specific languages, my throat hurts, my ears hurt, I get really annoyed, and feel uncomfortable in my body because of these sounds, almost to the point of nausea 😖 I hate certain sounds in different languages, so much that I can’t stand next to people speaking like that. I have to put on Meshuggah with “Bleed” in my earphones 😅

I prefer certain accents. I think Spanish vowels and rhythms are beautiful. I dont speak spanish but i love listening to spanish music and others talking in Spanish. And I do sometimes accidentally change my own accent when talking to people who have an accent. I like to analyze people… their astrology, personality type, background/culture/religion, childhood trauma, aesthetic/music. I think i stim with aethetics. Certain styles and colors evoke strong emotions both good & bad. And im really distracted /irritated if it doesnt “go”,

I relate totally with the "window shopping" thing! I felt so guilty for so long cos thought it demonstrated how superficial I was. But I look at lists of items in specific orders and with a lot of details and it relaxes me a lot! without buying them most of the time. I hadn't noticed it's actually visual stimming, thanks! I thought it's just that I like watching at organised lists of items in details. Also when looking for an item I wanna buy, I have a detailed picture of it in my mind first and then go shopping for it through comparing and analysing all the details of different similar items and will look for the best option not just price wise but quality and fair trade etc. It can be very draining too if I need to buy something quickly cos if I don't analyse in details it makes me anxious and it's very energy consuming to do so in every day life... and since I'm ADHD too, i'm very desorganised as the big picture of my day yet very detailed oriented and specific when I start putting myself into something I really like or really need and cannot delay and is vital.

I relate to that so hard! It's so draining. Sometimes I just give up buying at item completely because I can't decide and I need to analyze everything. I even made an Excel sheet to compare macrame cord and bring the price back to the same units. It was not worth the time I used to so that, buy oh well... 😅

You've put it into words better than I ever could 😭 this is exactly it

Omg the "bringing people to see a thing you already have seen many times to see their reaction" brings to mind my dad :D He waited so eagerly for me to turn old enough to watch horror movies so he could show me Alien. Like literal YEARS. When he showed it to me, he just sat there with me repeating the lines (he knows the whole script) and staring at my looking to see my reaction at specific scenes. I love the alien franchise so much to this day. I even made a little xenomorph keychain for him as a gift one christmas and i made a weyland yutani shirt for him another year xd

Man, when I want to re-experience something, I know that I truly love it. I wish it happened more often. The feeling is like discovering a part of myself.

I definitely visually stim through pinterest. I had no idea that is what I was doing. I also love categorising things on them too!

I relate to the inability to understand numbers 100%. I remember getting extra help from the teacher during recess when I was little to no avail. I failed beginning math in high school 3 times, and not because I wasn't trying. It was very frustrating. I accidentally passed the math assessment test in college by getting frustrated and bubbling in random answers. I had one professor in college (studio photography) who saw I was struggling with figuring out exposure times. He asked me to stay a few minutes after class to go over it. He explained one problem and walked me through it, then gave me another one to do on my own. He said he could see that there was an issue there he wasn't skilled enough to correct, as if everything he had just told me just disappeared. I actually never went back to finish my degree because of the required math courses. It's intimidating. I'm pretty sure I may have discalculia too. I had never heard of it until a couple of years ago, when my manager brought it up while helping me correct some paperwork. Also, with the voice thing, whispering makes my whole body tense up. It's so bothersome. I window shop for comfort as well, and have a couple of movies I can watch over and over without getting tired of it. Same goes with music. I can listen to the same song multiple times in a row, or the same artist for weeks or months.

I got a 29 on my ACT- I got perfect 36's in everything but math, and I got like a 10. Everyone tried to get me to take it again after some math tutoring, but I knew it wouldn't help. Numbers are a foreign language I just can't decipher, I wanted to be an anthropologist until I learned how much math was involved. Not a ton, really, but enough to dissuade me, haha...

Dude the fact that people don’t acknowledge discalculia bothers me so much. Dyslexia is finally finally being acknowledged so i can only hope we can bring awareness to math difficulties. It’s not just ‘you’re dumb’.

I related to all the little ~weird~ things you said, and I thought it was just a part of my personality; But now that I know it's related to my autism, and that I'm not the only person experiencing them, it got me feeling like 👁👄👁 huuuh? Appreciate the good work sm, and the great aesthetic background xx♡

for a long while i just associated my "window shopping" thing with the idea of being extremely careful with my money despite being fine with it. i now recognize - thanks to this video - that it was actually a stim since i always found comfort and peace when doing so!

My *visual* stims used to be: Looking at crochet patterns, items and yarn for hours (usually a specific item I want to see) without knowing I will buy it Looking at houses around the world on realestate websites as if I am going to buy - yes, put me in a flow state like you said. Very relaxing. The second I saw the Ina necklace, I could feel and taste it. That happens with metals at times. No idea why. I've always had my stuff separate from my partner's. Thought that was normal for all... hmm Mildew the same Back of the throat thing - YES! and the echolalia there makes sense to me also. I was told that I move my mouth in silent speech when I am imagining conversations in my head. I didn't know that until I was told. Same with watching the same thing to see how a loved one will react. Sounds normal to me though. (?) I agree on sleepovers. Was different when it was a close friend but still hard because it is a different place and feels different ie stiff sheets that smell like dye.

26:00 I can relate to the uptight feeling of being overwhelmed by sensory stimulation. Ppl have even asked me why I can’t seem to loosen up at work, school etc. at home I feel so relaxed but it’s an environment I have control over

I once got a gym membership to use the showers because I was so repulsed with the state of the bathroom that my roommates maintained. It was so inconvenient, but luckily I moved out after two months. Did not connect that with my autism, but makes sense now. Ty!

I also have the same problems with remembering names. Even after learning it, when enough time has passed, I won’t know their name. I work in a big office bldg that is filled with only my company and after 6 years there, my boss has accepted that I won’t remember anyone’s name and slowly works with me to try and learn those that are part of our department or work with our department. I also have problems with numbers. In college, the disabilities director sent me for Dyscalculia testing. The psychologist said that I just needed to work harder to remember the math concepts. Something I heard every single year in school, knowing that it wouldn’t help me. Thankfully the college disabilities director understood and gave the the full assistance of their programs dispite that psychological review and I got through 3 years of math with above average grades. Now I’m an analyst and have to be given specific instructions. But once I have them, I am able to apply those to all future requests. Understanding the fine details of analytics doesn’t come naturally to me, but digging out the analytic details does. So at least I can get paid for those skills.

The thing about names is it’s especially hard when their names don’t really match their face if you know what I mean. I end up calling them by what I think their face looks like. 😅

I can relate to "window shopping." I do search and imagine things specific and want them to be exactly like I want them to be, and I get really frustrated if it doesn't, and I felt guilty for that until I watched your video because this trait would get me in trouble with buying clothes or anything because I can't find things I want in the shops, so it just seems like I am not interested or detached from situations and activities. But I was actually sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously scanning the store for exactly what I had imagined, even the texture and color. And visual stimming, this is the first time I hear someone talking about it, and I am so thankful because I felt and felt so weird and didn't want anyone to know that about me because I couldn't explain it and it didn't have a name as I thought. I save art, fan art, and items I like but that are not functional or make no sense, and as someone who is pretty practical, I would never buy things like writing machines, lab equipment, organized desks, cups, umbrellas, or kitchen utensils. pp would also save pictures with specific colour pallet and composition. I have hundreds of saved piwith aes especiacolortpaletteI run through everyday and look again and again and when I have to delete them it's hard and I have to explain to myself multiple times that I have to do that otherwise I won't have enough space on my phone for other things and then after sometime I would remember that art or that artist's art on tumblr and I would go and save all of their works to my gallery again even if I memorized all the details about it. I would also save all thepictures,nd issues ofart,comic I liked even ievery dayot bilook att comic fanagain,lso have saved edits on pinthem,st thahard,have to rewaliked,n order for sanot thefaction and I simply can't watch edits that don't fit in with what I expect from them. I get such sat. Then, from rsome time,g things I "hoard" in my gallery or on Pinterest. As a child, I would go to an online shop for dolls that I wouldn't buy because I didn't want them. That made a lot of people confused, because why am I watching if I don't want them? I would watch them on the same site in the same order, and if the site changed it, I would get frustrated. Starting from my childhood, I would rewatch videos I liked a lot, and this is exactly what I associate the like button with-even if I didn't enjoy them, I would like to rewatch them. I have made playlists and organized them by their length to relisten to and rewatch. I organize my stuff on my phone a lot in general, mostly because I get irritated and annoyed with people if they break my organization, so I chose not to, to not make my relationships more difficult than they already are. I can listen to the same playlists in the same order for so long. And I do that when I am outside because it helps me to calm down and even focus. But when I am with people, I can't listen to songs, so I kind of focus on sounds like cars, the sea, or even leaves and wind. So yeah, doing and watching stuff in a specific order is important to me. I didn't know it was called visual stimming or audible stimming and feel so relieved that it has a name and I am not the only one. In fact, I could relate to the whole video, but the visual stimming is what hit the spot, and I can't explain how it made me feel. I never thought I would hear so many relatable things I feel like it is a weight of my shoulder and I cannot be thankful enough about it I didn't even knew that I needed to unravel and talk about all of this but I feel a bit better after doing this thank you.

I am not diagnosed with ASD because I haven't seen any therapist for decade. I didn't wanted to see them because I didn't wanted to talk about all of this and I thought that I am the problem and the therapist will just tell me the same thing everyone do. I am still scared to see a therapist especially in my country.

It’s interesting - I have OCD and am also autistic, but the two are pretty separate (hence why I was only formally diagnosed with OCD). The things you mentioned are not something I would have initially considered being part of OCD, so it made sense when you mentioned it was linked to your autism 😊 super helpful as always, and given me lots to think about with my own comorbidities 💜

About echolalia, I do that too but with sounds/voices/sentences that I like. Unfortunaltely people think I'm mocking them so I stop myself from doing it. But I looooove repeating phrases and accent.

I love “shopping”, the wandering around, making sure things i like are still there, getting new ideas, day dreaming… but i rarely buy anything, and most people think its weird… The frustrating parts for me comes when i finally do decide i actually want to buy it but its unavailable bcuz its been awhile, or when i know exactly what i want but cant find it… whats kinda ocd is when i like something so much that i buy 5 and get really attached and get really upset when it’s discontinued.

I completely relate to almost everything you said, especially the bathrooms part and the strong sense of smell. I’m in the process of trying to find a psychologist to evaluate me. I started suspecting autism about a year ago, and the more I look into it I just have this strong feeling that this is it. Thanks for sharing 😊

I'm so glad someone else is talking about whistle s's and kermit the frog voice, I always complain about the same things and nobody understands what I'm talking about

I think the Echoic thing is relatable to me in my love for languages, specifically French. I like watching movies and repeating phrases and sounds

It took me a really long time to realize that I wasnt window shopping out of interest in the product, but put of fascination with it's visuals, so I have spent thousands and thousands in clothing just for the joy of having it, but once I figured out it's basically just the joy of looking, my wallet and style were both saved. Also, just now noticing it's a visual stim despite knowing about ASD for years 😅

Binging ur whole channel 🎉🎉 happy to have been recommended ur videos

The bathroom stuff, I relate to all of it. It honestly something that seriously disturbs me and I never really found anyone who felt the same. My mother always tells me I'm very particular about things. It does annoy her sometimes and I understand that. Also, yes to the zodiac sign, movie and sleepover stuff lol Thanks for posting all these videos.

When she talked about copying back certain voices she hears on the TV, it brought back memories from childhood. When I was younger I would do something similar ALL the time in conversations where, while I was listening to the other person talk I would be mouthing out the words they were saying. Definitely got made of fun of for it, and had no idea while I was doing it until someone would point it out. Never thought anything of it until now, but I think it would just make it easier to focus on their words instead of all the other factors that drew my attention.

Hi! Happy to see another video from you! 😊😊🌸🌸

Thank you for this video and for the content you share. Very helpful. I’m 39, and I was just recently diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I’m learning so much. I am remembering how much I enjoy stimming through organizing, looking at and touching my clothes! 💗🙏

I recently mentioned the same thing with my psychologist regarding the zodiac signs. It was a system that worked to help me understand why someone behaves this way. I would meet my colleges husband and remember his horoscope but I couldn’t remember his name. I love inside out as well! I noticed I need to visually stim by watching the same thing over and over again. Same as you, I like knowing what I’m expecting, how long it will take, whether it’s a good or bad ending etc. I like to watch reaction videos of different KZreadrs for the same drama or cartoon. I also relate to focusing on movie settings, actors horoscope, props, costumes etc. while watching movies, my brain would be trying to image how this scene was shot.

Your videos are so accurate, I do the zodiac sign as well and know the sign of everyone around me its what got me into tarot reading. Also have dyscalculia didn't get diagnosed until about 3 years ago because a tutor saw just how much I struggled with numbers and my left/ right, she had a son with the condition and told me about it, I was able to get an appointment and was officially diagnosed. Also really bad with names but I can remember every other detail about someone even the most randomness of fact. The sound ex you did you were painful, both the S and Kermin voice. I am very particular about the tone of someone's voice, if it's on the higher pitch I struggle to be able to be around the other person or watch the show/movie/anime but if its on the lower pitch like Alan Rickman level or within that area, its very comforting and relaxes me.

Another relatable video - I’m digging myself out of my first post diagnosis burnout/shutdown and these are really helping me reflect and connect to suppressed traits and memories. Those object finding books were such a tactile memory, and I totally relate to using window shopping as a replacement for the void left by these books, though my preferred way to satisfy the ‘searching’ stim is by trying to find/identify species in natural settings - the smaller the better. I find that window shopping is kind of a replacement when I’m too overwhelmed to science. I had so many number related meltdowns as a kid and struggled (and still do) with doing any basic math in my head. I always found it weird that I did terribly in math class but really excelled in math competitions. Reflecting back, they were usually held in a better sensory environment and there was more freedom to mind-map it out. It also turned out that the numbers themselves were a barrier for me, so when numbers got replaced with letters, I loved the puzzle solving and pattern recognition aspects of math.

I can relate to so many of what you mentioned. It's too funny that we can be different but yet alike in many ways.

Oh I love ur voice and the sound background so smooth I love it 💜🥰

Also I know I already commented, but my special interest is SO, SO similar to yours: birthdays!! I collect them and categorise them in my head and love to tell everyone I meet who they share birthdays with, even if it’s a bit obscure. I even found out my psychologist’s zodiac/birthday.

I hope more of your videos with have calmer background music ❤Thanks for sharing yourself with us, I’ve been binge watching autism videos and happy to have stumbled upon yours.

Omc! Your kind of window-shopping, i do know so well! Women wirh Videos like yours give me the strength to see and accept my autism as well as better living with it!❤️💕thank you😻meow🐾

Yesss I didn’t realize how specific and rigid I was about things in my environment until I lived alone for years and it was the happiest I felt lol. In hindsight my first special interest was Disney musicals. I’d watch the sing along videos and knew all the songs by heart. I was probably like 6 or7. I was obsessed with seeing the words on screen and reading them, not just listening to it if that makes sense.

Amost everything you describe matches my own experiences and feelings so closely. I've never felt so understood.

You described my issue with numbers EXACTLY how I explain it. A couple times in my life I had a tutor and would still not even be able to comprehend it no matter how they broke to down. In community college, I tested into the faster paced math class and had to explain that it was a multiple choice test fluke and I needed remedial. Remedial still didn’t help me grasp once I got back to the college math class. Then later in my early 20’s I took the ACT and scored nearly perfect on the math portion but it was a fluke- I just went with my gut to guess answers and used the techniques from the ACT books. In the end I did not go back to finish college bc I would never be able to get through the math. I was overwhelmed and failed even with a tutor. “I can’t do math” is a regular response from me. Edit: diagnosed with ADHD & OCD when I was 10yo. I am now 37 and wondering how I relate on a severe degree to nearly everything in both these videos.

I love colours. Its kinda stimming for me to look at things that are colourful. My favorite thing about crafts is to have yarn classified by colours. Sometimes i just go and open my cross stich yarn boxes to look at the colours. And i love makeup and nail polish for the same reason...doing my makeup is very relaxing. I cant handle dirty places...sadly it ruined my relationship with my 1st boyfriend. Im pretty sure he had ADHD and probably ASD also. I could communicate with him in an unique way. I loved him a lot. But he had such a dirty house. I helped him by cleaning, i knew he struggled. But the dirtyness and his unwillingness to clean a little made me meltdown more and more. And we separared. Its been 6yrs and i feel like i lost my guy. Had other relationships after but it never felt the same.

Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your experiences it has helped me a lot. I’m currently at the stage where I’m researching the hell out of autism bc I suspect I may be autistic, and a lot of the experiences you’re describing are things that I though were completely normal. You’ve really opened my eyes

omg, online window shopping! I do that ALL THE TIME, specially on my amazon wishlist, mostly to see if any prices dropped or something, but I kinda like just looking at them

hi!! i relate so much to the bathroom part, something i do is buy plastic flip flops to bring with me when i’m staying over someone else’s house (in case the floor is dirty) and even in my own shower since it’s almost always dirty. looking at the dirt really bugs me so i try to always focus on what’s in front of me and avoid looking at the floor, and with my flip flops on i can’t feel any dirt :) to clean my feet i usually stand on 1 leg to clean them one at a time and then put the shoe back on, and do the same w my other foot

I had that book for my son and daughter I spy. I also like going to target and feel the items. I love pretending to shop. It does feel soothing. Interesting !!

This was so good!!

My stresser is the kitchen, kitchens are too much

When my bf and i bought a house together (well, he bought, i live, because he is amazing...) the main criteria after cost was that it have 2 bathrooms... I CANNOT share a bathroom, it's my sanctuary and ot literally must be just so or i lose it, haha...

I’m nearly exactly the same as you about bathrooms! I nitpick my partner’s beard trimming cleanliness, and I’ve had to not stay with a friend because of how much I was grossed out by her bathroom. I’ve also done minor cleaning in other people’s bathrooms when I was stuck with it. My other weird bathroom thing is once I get out of the shower, I HATE standing on the tile floor and need to stand on a rug. Bathrooms rugs gross me out too tho lol, so I have two thick towels that I use that are super cushy and I wash them weekly.

The reason movies don't feel the same the second time is because, for me and I think for most people, the enjoyment comes from being surprised, or having things revealed to you as the plot develops. I think for you, maybe you notice other things while you're watching a movie? For most people, once you know how things are going to end, the movie doesn't have the same impact because you already know the story. Rewatching it gives a completely different feeling - I can pay closer attention to small details that are irrelevant to the plot, like the way things cut, the way people's voices sound, the music in the background, things like that. But I already know the main story, so I don't feel the way I did the first time. I love math. I get involved and think hard about math in the same way that you talked about swimming in the deep end with thoughts and understanding people. Numbers are amazing. I could explain a lot of things with math as completely conceptual things, kind of like how when you talked about swimming the deep ocean, you didn't use any specific examples. That vagueness is what math is about. The numbers and words are just labels, like names are labels for people.

That drives me nuts, too. You're certainly not alone. I think it's part of the reason audio editing software almost always includes an s modification option. I have the same reaction to smacking while eating and the noise people's mouths make when they're dry.

Traits that I resonate with in this vid - the voices / not being able to watch things if something if it annoys me (whether it’s a story line, a person, a voice - oh yeah, I also can’t watch things if there’s too much of a surprise 😂 I fucking hate surprises oh my god). - I also relate to the randomly repeating things over and over again - for example, when I watch tv and I find a name interesting, I say it over and over and over again (an example, is after watching NFL, I literally can’t stop saying Tua Tagovailoa or repeating the gambling ads - actually any ads for that matter). I’ve been singing a string of ads to my bf recently and he thinks it’s weird. It helps calm me down though 😂 so I just sing them away. I used to do it at work as well lol. - oh and the dyscalculia… when I was 5 I could read at a high school level but throughout school, couldn’t do math to save my life. I’m great at comprehending most concepts but dear god numbers. From years 7-12, I liberally topped everything EXCEPT math. I can do basic arithmetic, like enough to function (doing groceries, paying my bills) but nothing more. Thank god that when I did uni that any subject that required math gave us a formula sheet and I had enough mental energy to pluck the right numbers out of the question to get the answer.

Relate to basically everything. Thank you for this video. Very comforting and validating 🥰 The bathroom thing tho, is actually a problem. I'm so specific about it, I basically can't use any but mine and that has resulted in multiple UTIs. I can't stay at friend's houses because of this. I'll legit not pee. I just cannot, istg... The smell, the floor.. just.. no

I thought I was being weird about the shopping thing 😂 it seems that it's not related with my hoarding tendencies, what a relieve! I tend to do it in a very specific way. I like to put things in categories and quite research the best features, the best models on the market, if there's a retail or craft option, what is the history of the product (specially with books), if there's some kind of cult following or collectors who love this and why... Then I try and make a perfect picture scenario, like a bedroom or office with just the best things and perfect design unifying it all. It started as makeover plans but now it's a steem I guess 😅

#1 - For me those things would be too overwhelming for me 🥹 especially the iSpy book and such… you just helped me realize how sensitive my visual sensory is. But OMG that green necklace 😭😭😭 I’m literally buying one 😂😂😂 I’ve been searching (not that hard lol) for simple jewelry like this!

I’m done 🤣 .. the mildew!!!!! I literally lost $400 a few weeks ago for an Airbnb (after Hurricane Ian had JUST passed bc I didn’t have power for 4 days) bc the smell of mildew was the main smell of the house when you walked in, and the texture of the couch (I had to put a towel down to sit, and the towel I could barely sit on bc it was like scratchy 😭) , the old window air conditioner, the way the lighting came in, it wasn’t dirty but yet it looked dirty - the walls and everything!!!! 😭🤮 I tried to stay, and after 2hrs left. 😭 Couldn’t get a refund. I’m still recovering from it. 😞 #5 - the way they talk!!!!!!! 😫😭 I never knew this was WHY I couldn’t listen to people who sounded like this!!! This is so crazy 😭 I’m fuckin rolling when you laughed saying why you echoe it back 🤣🤣🤣 you’re hilarious!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #6 - lol I loveeee that 😂 the zodiac sign of the psychologist & his wife 😆 you’re my spirit animal 😂💖 I’m super into astrology and esoteric/quantum knowledge, definitely my special interests ☺️ also, now I need to know your zodiac sign 😂 #7 - that’s super cool, I never looked at it that way (watching/experiencing things many times) .. although just like #1, I feel like this would be overwhelming for me. Which I’m so grateful you shared bc I’m now aware of how much my visual experiences play a role in my burn out/anxiety/meltdowns 🥹🙏🏽 #8 - I thought it was for others reasons I did this 😭 I would neverrrrrr stay over at peoples houses my whole life, like literally once in a blue moon and I couldn’t sleep either 😭😭😭 if I DID fall asleep, I would wake up at the slightest sound or ANYTHING. 😭 Thank you for helping me understand myself 😢❤ I’ve also taken a flight home from having a meltdown bc of the place I was going to stay at & had to end my work trip early. #9 - me 😭 I was a receptionist at a car dealership and was about to lose my job bc I kept messing up the bookkeeping at the end of the day. And I didn’t understand bc I tried so hard & thought I did it right. My manager would yell at me and treat me really bad bc she’d have to do it over. So I left that job 😂 #10 - I was like that tooooo with the credit card!! 😳 I actually had gotten them but I never used them bc I didn’t understand. And then I learned too & now I love playing the credit card game 🤑 #abundancewealthmindset #11 - GET OUT!!!!! 😂😂😂 I am THE SAME!!!!! 😭😭😭 I could know a persons soul, and not remember their fucking name 😭 … this year I started writing down the names of my neighbors and coworkers in my notes app on my iphone, so I wouldn’t forget. It’s been life changing & really helped me learn faster 🥹 ** I like to write in detail to everything you share, bc like you have said, women have been misdiagnosed for so long, & I too want to share my experience so you know how much you’re helping people & for others to also relate to 🥹🙏🏽💖 Thank you for all you do Queen!!!! You’ve changed my life in a matter of days & helped me more than I could ever express!! 💯🙏🏽❤️

Do you have any apartment tour video? I love the way you styled it and would like to recreate it in a similar way in my house but I’m not so sure how haha! I really love it, it’s stimulating enough but not overstimulating, probably that’s why I love to watch your videos as well! ❤

The echoic thing…that same situation happened to me with my husband yesterday. He was watching a video game vlogger’s KZread channel and the guy has an Irish accent and he said this word really weird, which of course I can’t remember now, and I just kept repeating it while I was putting away laundry, trying to mimic the way he said it. Finally my husband was like “are you okay?”

OMG the math! I'm the same way! I thought I was the only person that felt this. I don't understand math ESPECIALLY when the alphabet starts getting thrown in. I would get so frustrated that I would cry and people that tried to help me would get frustrated because they couldn't figure out how to help me understand. I barely passed my math classes in school and I still use a calculator to do even simple math.

16:35 That Jordan Peterson impressionation though!!! 😂 this video and part 1 & 2... or is this 2? Anyway I watched all 3 & loved it - ty sm for making these 🥹

I do have special interests but sometimes they are temporary hyper intense obsessions, i have to know everything about it, and eventually im over it like it was just a phase. But other special interests stick with me my whole life. I cannot remember names of anything or anyone. I always need context. I might remember their face when i see them and things about them though… and I thought as a kid i hated history bcuz it was memorizing dates/names, but as an adult i actually love history bcuz now it has context. I go back n forth with financial responsibility & food being healthy/unhealthy. Sometimes im super strict, other times i’m done super impulsive. I probably have adhd & autism.

Just a tip. I had to live in group homes as a teenager. I got athlete's foot so I always wear flip flops in the shower when I am not in my own apartment.

Man the first one with shopping and the ampunt of tabs i have I relate so hardcore to this.

The window shopping is so validating for me. One of my coworkers constantly says "shopping AGAIN??" Almost everyday when she comes into the locker room and catches a glimpse of me browsing amazon and idk why but i always feel so embarrassed or humiliated as if i was doing something wrong. I wish people would understand its for mental comfort, but they always seem to just think im being irresponsible with money.

I'm late to the party but thank you for the video. I could relate to some of it, especially the whistling "S" pronunciation. That was excruciating

I totally related to the repeating what someone else said that bothered you over and over again. if I say something that might have been taken the wrong way by someone or if after I realize it may have been socially unacceptable (I don’t really know how to explain the terms) then I find myself repeating what I said earlier that may have messed me up under my breath again and again. Sometimes even saying it in different tones to see if I could have done it better. I also do this with facial expressions. I’ve noticed that if I’m not in a setting where I can repeat it back and “check” then I get MUCH more uncomfortable.

I echo back what I hear especially in my business bc I work worldwide. I have an actually amazing accent depending on where I’m currently located!

Can totally relate to the zodiac signs interest being a way to get a "handle" on them. I'm a gemini with taurus rising and leo moon. I feel I project much more taurus than gemini and now I think that's probably my autism ✨

I collect peoples MBTI 😬

I very much resonate with the B&W morality. I can’t respect or trust people that are different around different groups of people. I have certain TV series that I rewatch every few years, and when I get into moods with my music. For a whole trimester while pregnant with my daughter I listened to 2 specific albums on repeat all day every day. Also, and I don’t know if this is an autism trait (echolalia maybe) is that when I speak to someone with a strong accent, I unconsciously mirror their accent back to them. I get very embarrassed when I do it, so I try to repress it. I feel like I try to speak to people in a way that they’ll understand me.

That "Kermit" voice thing is what I'm always trying to explain to my family about why I don't like Shakira's music, even though she's gorgeous and the songs themselves are great. She doesn't do this effect constantly, which makes it stand out to me in an even more annoying way every time she does. :(

About hating sleepovers (and other people's bathrooms) : That's where I realized neurotypical people are really gross. I kind of pity them for leaving in such uncomfortable environment... Nothing beats a clean and cozy home.

Oh shoot the S's that are sharp are AGH! I haven't heard anyone else mention this before! Thank you!

Aw shoot I just realized what I meant to bring up on the last one so I'm just going to comment about it here before I forget.. so with the being 2 faced, I think I can kind of come off that way sometimes. I really get what u r saying like if there r principles that u have they should apply all the time not just in a certain setting. I guess where it gets a bit fuzzy is when u apply it to other people. I grew up with Christianity and some stuff about it I still really believe like do not judge others. I think it's best to just keep an eye on what you're doing and don't think less of people around u. Although sometimes I do see an opportunity to help someone change for the better like by pointing out something about being more environmentally friendly. I try to do it in a way that's not annoying and I'm sure people don't always take it in themselves but I can still try to just b a positive influence. Now I feel like I really haven't explained myself well, o well that's as good as I can do right now.

OMG the S's. I used to catch the train every day going to school and all I could hear were the S's and I felt like all I could hear was the S's from every conversation. Eventually I wore headphones and played music to drown it out. I can also hone in on one couple talking and hear everything they're saying in a crowded room or on a train etc. I can also do it for someone who is on the phone in a crowded place. Once at a restaurant with a group of people talking, someone in my group across the table from me answered their phone. After they hung up I asked them a question specific to what their friend said on the phone - initially they were incredibly confused what I was asking them, until I said I was asking about what their friend on the phone said. They were incredibly baffled as to how I could possibly have heard that firstly from across the table, secondly in a crowded environment were everyone is talking, and well thirdly because that peson was talking on a mobile which was up against their ear and not on loudspeaker or anything. To me it was just normal. Totally get you with movies as well. So many people don't get this.

Likewise regarding credit cards. I still don't have one, and when it cam to renting some office space the property agent said to me that I was like a ghost, she couldn't find any credit history on me. To this day (I'm 46yo), I don't get the concept of spending money you don't have, and I refuse to conform to it.

You look a little like Phillipa Soo! You two are both very beautiful :) I love your videos. Very informative.

this is so relatable that it's scary For 1 year and a half i was staying in my uncle's house due to personal reasons and i could'nt shower and brush my teeth because of how inconvenient the bathroom was. Plus i was in middle school and people were telling me i smelled but i couldn't do anything about it until i moved out and it so so horrible omg Because of literal thinking i always thought that sensory issues were like really obvious like crying, yelling or whatever and i thought i didn't have it. Turns out i have it but i'm high masking and my alexithymia is so strong that i internalize and accomodate it a lot without realising??? i just thought it was like special quirks of me and that everyone had it lol

I relate to the bathroom stuff

i relate hard to the bathroom thing and the S- word thing! people always treat me like i'm crazy when I point it out..

ditto also to wanting to know everything about how a favorite TV show or movie is made!

I am STILL unable to memorize the multiplication table. I almost didn't pass 3rd grade because of this. My math skills are like developmentally underdeveloped level bad. I also am epically bad at making change (so forget my ever working as a cashier if the machine can't tell me what change to give!). And yet I'm a published author (fiction and nonfiction) and professional editor and am constantly driven nuts by grammatical and spelling errors across all mediums and everywhere I go physically. It's like the math side of my brain stopped at the second grade, while my written, visual processing, and artistic sides overdeveloped and crowded out the math skills area.

I relate to this again, specially the speaking LOL

I am an Aries. I have problems remembering people's names because they usually don't seem relevant to the person's personality. I also have some of the same cleanliness issues you discuss. I like my stuff separated as well, but my boyfriend is the same way.

as a kid when I tried to have sleepovers i felt physically sick everytime and my mom had to pick me up and as soon as I got home I was fine again.

First of all, I am Andrea and my Zodiac sign is Gemini. I can also watch the same movie several times, especially children movies. However, I was only able to do it through the Internet if I find it or through netflix if it was there as my parents told me several times that I needed to grow up and stop watching, so I probably did not watch it in the cinema, but I look at it online to know more about it. In relation to math, I understand how to apply formulas when having all data, but for me the difficult part is making assumptions and used those assumptions to calculate is so confusing that I make my boss desperate as it was supposed to be basic math. I just could not get it after I analyse, write it down twice and take a picture. I also cannot stay at so.eone else place and when I do because my friends insist sometimes, I just cannot get the same rest as in the comfort of my own espace. Sounds make me jump a little, and then I connect the sound to what it is familiar to me. If it is a new sound, I get curious to see what it is to save it in my memory

I relate to this topic

re: window shopping and trying to find items that look/feel exactly like what im envisioning in my head: i thought everyone did this! having really specific material desires and searching websites for them... like really wanting a soft, fluffy, mauvey beige blanket, or a white cardigan with daisies on it and pink or pearl buttons. is this an autistic trait or just part of every human experience?

I think an important aspect of titling this video female autistic traits is that there physiological differences in someone who is biologically male or biologically female. Not to mention the social construction and experience of life as a woman. Alas the gender thing is always weird with autistics as we consider ourselves pretty neutral due to identity issues prevalent with the diagnosis.

Goood!!! When you started imitating THAT voice (like speaking from the back of the throat) I was immediately like “NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! PKEASE NOOOO!!!” Wow! It was quite a reaction in me! I see you sooooo so fckn much!!! Oooooh… some voices for me are such a pain even when the person is super cool and adorable but the sound of their voice is just putting me in the state of internal pain tears…

Oh, btw it’s Capricorn ♑️☺️

Hi! I'm pretty sure I'm autistic, I've been researching about it for a while. I recently came across your channel and I find it so interesting. A lot of the things you mentioned I am bothered by but I'm not as rigid as you are with it, or maybe I just haven't noticed them all yet. But I definitely have other traits especially socially. But its interesting because you described my dad perfectly and since autism is genetic It really makes me wonder if I got it from him. (He doesn't believe either of us are autistic, but I'm pretty sure both of us are tbh) We just present a little differently. I also find it interesting because you mentioned that you are an INFJ in another video on your channel and my dad is also an INFJ. I am an INFP.

I fluctuate between INFJ & INFP depending on how “rigid” I am in that point in my life. I encourage you to keep doing research and be open to ASD if you already feel like there’s something here to explore. That’s what it felt like for me as well prior to getting diagnosed. Just a simple feeling of “hmmmmm perhaps…”

I hate HATE washing dishes bcuz of the dirty water. I put my shoes on immediately, like before i get dressed. I cant sleep in a hotel without MY pillow. I cant use other peoples toiletries bcuz i buy mine very specifically, it takes me a long time to find specific hair spray, shampoo, makeup, brush, etc. I think if i am ever married i still want my own bedroom/bathroom, and we can “visit” eachothers space.

Hey, girl we want your favourite movie/ show list. ☺️

That zodiac sign thing is very much a "saving this information because it makes me happy or comfortable" thing. I do this with some information as well 😅

and holy crap! i literally need to know everyone’s zodiac signs too! i’m an aquarius sun virgo moon aquarius rising and i literally don’t remember a persons name but i’ll remember their sign. i’m 33 now and i’ll see someone i met a decade ago and know that he’s a virgo and other things about them but forget their name. my boyfriend is freaked out how i know celebrities signs and often remember the exact birthdate … so funny we are alike ! i watched pretty on pink a thousand times and whenever i start to feeling a panic attack coming my boyfriend will turn it on for me. i just feel like i can escape this world and enter that world and know what’s going to happen.

Nice! Similarly, I’ll be that person that will somehow remember someone’s father’s sign despite not ever meeting their dad haha. Also 2 aquas and a Virgo-I wouldn’t want to get in an argument with you cause I imagine you would be real good at destroying someone w facts & knowledge

The needing to know someone’s zodiac sign is REAL. That is me to a T.

Maybe that's why it takes me forever in stores. Looking at everything is a visual stim.

I could hear the S! I do find it a bit annoying. Weirdly, my husband of 15 years has at least 2 very different voices he uses. The "normal" one and the "frog" one (and it's an EXTREMELY frog one). I can totally see my partnership falling apart just because of this, If I'm not cautios and put in the energy, patience, intention and love to accommodate this. Best case scenario, when I'm not feeling so good and can't take it, I'd say "Your OTHER voice, please!!". Then, IF he is in the mental state to cooperate, he''ll instantly switch to the "normal" voice. It's like magic) it's just how my brain processes certain sound waves🤷‍♀

Certain sounds definitely “get to me”, like misophonia. Clipping nails, eating crunchy foods, random phone noises, buzzing overhead lights…..

Omg same sometimes I just can't understand things at all like someone will explain is for ages then I won't get it and I just can't my brain just doesent get it it's so hard and confusing

Im being screened for asd idk yet I find out in october and I've made a list of my traits/quirks and like I wanna show my dad but I'm scared idk why actually 0-0

I'm a big slob and you definitely wouldn't approve of my bathroom (it's hygienic enough for me but I have cats so it gets dirty fast) but one thing I can't stand is damp towels and washcloths. Some people leave them damp long enough to get mildew which I don't understand. They need to be dried out after use.

OMG! Audiobooks! Sometimes the book i need to listen to has the 'wrong' voice and i have literally cried because i just cannot listen to it. Some accents are like that for me too, words sound so different from my expectation and i cannot keep up with what is happening as it is like i am listening to another language that i'm not very familiar with. Sibilent "s"s are painful. As far as names are concerned i am much the same and after working with the same people for years it was incredibly embarrassing and i'm sure limited my career too.

You are beautiful and a beautiful person inside I have heard of so many toxic people that think autisim exists only in males which has dumb you are awesome as you are love you so much interesting video

FYI, the hissing 's' phenomenon is known as a sibilant 's'.

i find your sensory adversions with smell interesting because I have the opposite and a very faiht sense of smell. I do also do the echolalia thing.
