Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Autistic people are the best. We are honest, get straight to the point, don’t waste time with idle chatter. We tell the truth and have a strong sense of justice. We don’t like talking on the phone and gossiping for hours. We don’t like to bother people and burden them. We don’t make fun of people or want to hurt people or fight with them. We feel for the underdog. We are passionate about things I’m glad I’m autistic.
@towzone
Monologuing: I’m an expert, you asked me a question. The answer takes more than one sentence, but I get interrupted giving context to the answer I’m about to give and never get to answer the question. EVERYTHING is more complicated than it appears on the surface, but that’s the maximum depth for most people.
@markc2643
Here's the whole list. Will finish it when I can.
1. Preference for Solitude. Driving long distances alone with my own thoughts is the most peaceful feeling for me. I let the auto-pilot part of my brain drive and it allows me to daydream.
2. Sensory Sensitivity. Even on cloudy days I need to have my sunglasses on outdoors. I must escape when I hear multiple women talking at the same time. I love silence, but if there's a
background hum or buzz I have to have music playing to drown it out.
3. Unique Communication Styles. I'm a technician, and talk like a technician.
4. Inward Focus and Special Interests. Yep
5. Masking and Camouflaging.
6. Emotional Regulation Challenges.
7. Difficulty with Change in Routine. Yep
8. Literal Thinking. I use that as comedy all the time.
9. Attention to Detail. I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard "Why would you even notice that?"
10. Hyperfocus and Flow State.
11. Difficulty Reading Social Cues.
12. Monotone Speech Patterns. I'm a technician. Monotone is normal.
13. Strong Sense of Justice and Fairness. Yep
14. Clumsiness and Coordination Issues. Nope
15. Preference for Written Communication.
16. Strong Memory and Knowledge Retention. Yep
17. Difficulty with Abstract Concepts.
18. Difficulty Initiating & Maintaining Conversations. Absolutely
19. Sensory Seeking Behaviors.
20. Directness and Honesty. To my detriment.
21. Difficulties in Understanding Social Hierarchies.
22. High Levels of Anxiety.
23. Exceptional Long-Term Memory. Yep
24. Strong Preference for Familiarity. Yep
25. Sensitivity to Emotional Atmospheres. More so the older I get.
26. Strong Need for Predictability. Yep
27. Intense Interests and Expertise. My friend use to call me Cliff. (Cliff Clayvin from Cheers)
28. Difficulty with Eye Contact.
29. Literal Honesty. Ohh Yeah
30. Resistance to Being Touched. With Strangers.
31. Hyperlexia. My 7 y/o Grandson just finished 1st grade. He can read 87 WPM with 100% comprehension. He read an Atlas and now knows all the state capitals.
32. Strong Moral Compass.
33. Distinctive Learning Styles.
34. Difficulty with Small Talk. Yep
35. Strong Visual Memory.
36. Tendency to Monologue. Yep
37. Difficulty with Implicit Rules & Social Norms.
38. Enhanced Pattern recognition. Yep

44. Preference for Logical and Structured Environments. Yep
45. High Sensitivity to Criticism.
46. Difficulty with Impulse Control. Yep I'm a binge eater.
47. Memory of Significant Personal Events. I remember my older brother's 1st day of school and how he had to be dragged in. I was 5 at the time.
48. Difficulty Interpreting Figurative Language.
49. Strong Preference for Specific Topics. Yep
50. Reliance on Daily Activities.
51. Preference for Non Verbal Communication.
52. Sensitivity to Textures. In Spades. I don't wear wool, sweaters, or turtlenecks. I cut the tag out of every shirt I've ever owned. No doctor has gotten a tongue depressor in my mouth
since I was very young. I actually learned to move my tongue down to avoid it.
53. Difficulty with Multi-Step Instructions.
54. Preference for Solo Activities. Yep
55. High Levels of Creativity.
@Mari-ui7gc
I've been living like this my entire life thinking I was just broken. It's a relief to hear this. I don't feel like I'm crazy anymore.
@HailDanielle
I thought I had every mental illness under the sun. Turns out I’m autistic. I’m ok with it.
@MandaPanda254
I hit the jackpot yesterday. I despise small talk, so i have avoided hair dressers for years cos they are professionals of small talk. I pushed myself and went to a hair dresser yesterday, and she didnt do any small talk. Just cut my hair in silence. It was so good.
@grooviechickie
I am 52 and am so good at camouflaging that when I finally (finally!) got the courage to mention my personal austism suspicions to my doctor, he told me that there was no way I could possibly be autistic because I am too sociable. He then proceeded to accuse me of wanting a diagnosis so thaf I could go on a disability pension and get NDIS. I have not mentioned it again. I cried when I got home. I was so shocked that he could possibly think that. I'm sticking with self-diagnosis, and being out-and-proud ND with my friend (autistic too). They get me.
@Mamarita3333
You described me to perfection! I get lots of anxiety with speaking on the phone. I just can’t do it….. But I can text forever and be very elaborate when texting. I am also a loner!
@thatjpwing
“Just like you can’t ask a Mac to be a PC”. What a wonderful analogy! We just do things differently!
@cherrystoltz1557
Good grief! I scored a clear, unambiguous 55 out of 55. I was only diagnesed 1 1/2 weeks ago but so much is making sense to me. At church ladt Sunday, i shared my diagnosis with 2 of my best friends who were sittIng on either side of me. The one on the left said, "Welcome home! So am i!" My friend to the right said, "i believe I am too." I have never felt so safe and included before. Then i discovered that a very young, gifted musician who always chooses to sit next to me at Bible Study also has ASD. He's 23. I'm 73! God has been so good to me 😊. I still feel overwhelmed by this unacccustomed acceptance and understanding.
@kensears5099
Yes, when something has deprived me of my daily activity, it feels like grief, like someone intentionally was out to hurt me. It's irrational and I know it, and I manage the feeling as an adult. But the feeling is still there.
@WesLott3rd
I have written extensively about my "Masking & camouflaging", way before I knew I was autistic. I called it "Behavioral Engineering". I defined it as - Grooming my words and actions to fit recognized successful past scenarios.
@chrismaxwell1624
Small talk has a purpose. It's a verbal surface level conversation where 90% of the communication in non verbal body language where two people are evaluating each other to see if they conversation should end or go deeper. Psychologist online explained this. That explains why I never understood small talk and even understanding it dose mean I can do it
@stabmejorge708
As a mother of an autistic teenager, I am glad to hear an adult describe my son. It makes us feel less different, less isolated. Thank you!
@towzone
Rudeness is subjective. Expecting me to lie is rude. Neurotypicals commonly lack the ability to handle any conversation that doesn’t also stroke their ego.
@AudioMayhem100
Watching every stand-up I could find online and awaiting the perfect time to drop comedy on others became my socializing strategy in school. Comedy can start friendships and calm tense situations if applied properly.
@crissyretro
I love videos like this. Content like this led me to strongly suspect that I was actually autistic & this year at 45 I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist here in the UK. My experience makes a lot more sense now & I’m so glad and relieved to know. So to Orion & others who make this style of content; thank you, truly! X
