I spent a day with AUTISTIC PEOPLE

Autism or autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that can include impairment in social interaction, language development and communication skills along with sensory sensitivities originally described as a form of childhood schizophrenia and the result of cold parenting. The definition of autism has evolved primarily in recent years. six decades as

people

have begun to better understand autism, my name is anthony padilla and today I will sit down with

people

on the autism spectrum to learn the truth behind this often overlooked and misunderstood disorder, in case autism is accepted as a simple difference. Instead of a disorder, or should society do everything in its power to discover a cure for this black divergence that affects such a large amount of the population, do those on the spectrum feel blessed to have the ability to See the world in a truly unique and unique way? in a heightened way that neurotypical or holistic people could never imagine or being on the spectrum is an immense obstacle that they wish they could get rid of so they can perceive the world like everyone else.

Do

autistic

people go through life proud of their disorder or do they hide in the shadows of society overwhelmed by immense guilt and shame surrounding the hand they were dealt hi angela hi richard hi jasmine hi thank you so much for coming and teaching me about it. wonderful world of autism thanks for having me, so what do you consider yourself?

autistic

someone with autism on the spectrum I consider myself autistic I'm an autistic person most of the time for those who are a little more familiar I like being on the spectrum I like to say I have autism because it's more just the complete um that's not me and it's just something that I have, I don't want to be moved when I announced that I was going to make this video there were a lot of people saying that I should refer to autistic people as autistic people and non-autistic people is there one that you prefer over the other?

I think both are fine for me. I really don't have a preference. I'm pretty casual about that. I'm usually an autistic person because I feel like it. It maintains my identity, what it means to have autism and it is more of a social disorder. I don't get many social cues. There will be times when, for example, direct eye contact is not the best for me, but I would do it. It's not, but it wouldn't be like not listening. I like to multitask. I like doing things like that. It's almost like your brain is running too fast and wants to see other things.

Yes, I know socially when you're talking. for someone you have to look at someone directly but it doesn't come naturally yeah it's not easy I think being autistic means you have more obstacles to overcome bigger obstacles more obstacles everything is a little bit harder so everything is just a hint with There are a lot of obstacles in the way and you are constantly trying to jump over which exactly being autistic is a different way of thinking. Our brains work differently than the average human being, like how we process things and experience things, for example, that we could actually get.

Interested in things that other people wouldn't normally be interested in, like math, chemistry or art, we focused a lot on them before learning more about the wonderful world of autism. I just wanted to introduce you to the latest addition to our set. it was meticulously hand painted by rihanna oaks she did an amazing job looking sexy if I do say so myself let's give a big round of applause to rihanna oaks for this amazing work this one is for you now let's get back to learning about the wonderful world of autism. You consider autism to be an obstacle in your daily life.

I used to think it was, but now I think it's an advantage because I coped with my autism through social isolation and that gave me the opportunity to get better at the things I like, for example, painting and riding a bike because I can do those things alone and they make them treat me like I'm not as good as them or not as smart as them but yes I feel like I'm a normal person sometimes I think I used to but by adapting now I consider it a positive thing because it wouldn't be who I am .

I used to be a Hindu when I was a little boy. Now it's more like one more thing. that's another extension, just another trait exactly, yeah, so there's a spectrum with autism. Can you describe what that spectrum is? I only know that I am high functioning autistic. How does autism affect your daily life? Well, apparently Normal on the outside, but inside I'm different from the average person. They harass me. Oh really, yes, even as an adult, why specifically do people harass you? It's usually because of the way I spoke or looked around as a child. I got harassed for everything, for the way I dress and well, there's this little math teacher who used to get really mad at me when I didn't do my homework, but I was just a kid and I didn't realize how important homework was. .

You would have the other students make sure I couldn't play with them during recess and then they would trip me over the jump rope and wait, who would trip you over the jump rope? The student the teacher asked me to watch. on me to make sure I wouldn't have recess, wait a teacher, you're not doing your homework, a teacher told a kid to make sure you were miserable during recess, yeah I felt like the world was against me , yeah, that's definitely interesting. I would feel that way too, that's hard. I think about every day so I remember it like it was yesterday and I thought there was nothing wrong with me and then when I changed schools and I was still being bullied at the other school.

I thought something was wrong with me now, what's wrong? I was almost 14 when they found out, yes, they had been testing me for ATD and they kept coming back negative and all I remember is that I was a kid and they kept taking me out of class. that tests me on things and like why do they do this to me yeah, I just went to the office and he asked me social questions yeah, like how do I like it? I walk into a room and I feel like everyone is looking at me or yes, yes, he he just observed my behavior a little bit when I was talking, after an hour, she turned to my mom and said, well mom, she has autism.

I was like, oh, and then she started crying out loud, whether I was happy or sad, I was heartbroken because I felt like she treated me badly all these years and my dad too my dad was crying oh, so yeah, did you? how did they treat you? Did they treat you like you didn't? I thought they were very kind to me. Personally, I wasn't cognitive about it until I was much later in my life, probably around 14 or 15, when I was able to understand that I'm autistic or that I have autism, but in terms of parenting and family, I didn't talk until I was four years old. . doctors and all that kind of stuff and they told them I was diagnosed with autism, how was that when you found out, when I found out, I couldn't understand it, I just didn't know what it meant, I didn't know what that means because it's not like I know what that means.

It means to be normal or something, what do you mean I have something? I'm just bad, I've always been like that, I don't see anything wrong with me at all Like when I was a kid, I had an assistant, yeah, so I thought everyone had an assistant, right, you didn't realize other people didn't have AIDS Yes, I had it. Can you explain what the sensory sensitivities are for me with autism? It mostly doesn't sound like loud noises, but like someone talking on the phone in the next room or the dog barking in the street or maybe my neighbors banging on a table or something, so it's less like a physical sensory thing, it's more like something mental.

You're looking at certain details, yes, exactly that too, it sounds very similar and I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but it sounds very similar to when I have a panic attack, I really understand them, you understand them too, yes. and you focus on one thing and you feel like it's just overwhelming, yes I understand that 24 hours a day you feel like you're having a panic attack 24 hours a day, well sometimes it's worse, sometimes I pass out and that's too frequent. I will faint from the anxiety you feel. Yes, do you go through life proud of your autism or do you keep it more secret?

I guess it's good for me personally because I have better functioning, in fact, most people won. I don't even identify myself, I recognize that I am on the spectrum. I remember when I first came out on Facebook, a lot of the comments I was getting were like I never knew, but I'm so happy to hear your story and yeah, it's inspiring to see those obstacles you went through. I would never have believed you because it is an invisible living disorder, so it is very difficult to know unless you really want to get to know the person at first.

I was ashamed. I try to keep it hidden. I even tried to convince myself I wasn't autistic, but now I'm a self-advocate and yes, I'm trying to help other people who have it. Do you ever feel like people underestimate what you are? You're able to do it because you're on the spectrum, yeah, yeah, they underestimate intelligence and ability and even your ability to play sports and drive, but I really feel like I'm a good athlete in some ways, so people will say, wow. , can! drive you're autistic i didn't know you could try why do you have your license you have autism it's like i'm not blind how do you think people without autism should interact with people who are on the spectrum? treat us normally I'm still using normal sorry, treat us like you would anyone else, yes, more or less, treat us like you would treat anyone else, keep in mind that the fact that we have a mental disability, yes, that we have autism, but no You won't change the way you talk, the way you act, honestly you're one of the most personal and informal people when it comes to talking to me and that's good because even though you're addressing the fact that I have autism. you don't want to change anything you're not changing the way you act.

I've watched other videos with you and you're the same person in the way you talk to other people versus me. Do you think some people just automatically change the way they talk to you some people yes I'm fine with really happy people because I feel welcome of course even though I seem unapproachable no you're not unapproachable I hear no I didn't find That at least the only difference I see is that there is less eye contact, but that doesn't particularly bother me because I understand what you know, the way you perceive the world is a little different, yeah, what are they?

What do you think about the idea that some people have that autism is caused by vaccination? I hate it, yes, I hate it, I don't like using that wood because my mother taught me not to say the word hate, but that's the only thing. Yes, it is based on a study that has no factual evidence and many doctors retracted their claims. Yes, and on top of that, even if it caused autism in the first place, why is having autism worse than having people with polio? I would rather my son die of an illness, yes I mean I may be autistic but at least I'm not dying.

Cynthia Wagner wants to know what you think society could be doing to better serve people with autism. It's okay if we can't. Understand, I don't expect you to understand 100% of everything that comes with autism, but at least be open minded and understand that yes, it exists, it's not bad, I have it, other people have it too, so keep in mind that exists. something you wish you could say to everyone who doesn't understand autism and maybe doesn't want to take the time to understand autistic people. Autism is not an excuse to behave badly. It is not a learning disability.

It's not social anxiety. It's just a different way. of thinking and a different way of experiencing the world, in fact I have a parting gift for you, the best interviewer t-shirt for you, you can get it at diladorshop.com, but for you it is free, thank you, subscribe to anthony padilla, dale like, seriously, please, yeah, he brought a group of people to talk about autism like, like, like, I don't watch that on regular youtube, thanks man, okay, you have five seconds to shout or promote whatever you want straight to the camera, you can find me on Facebook or Instagram and yellow.
