Good tip for tags - Seam ripper. Perfect removal of the tag, nice and smooth.

I just discovered your channel! When you mentioned being uncomfortable in clothing I completely relate. I know of at least 2 languages where the verb "to wear" also means "to carry", which is exactly how I feel when I wear clothes. It's such a burden especially if I add dangling earrings, which is rare, or a finger ring. I also related to people laughing when I'm not joking, yet thinking I'm saying something humorous when I'm not. A lot of times it's when I use an expression that I think everyone has heard of. I'm looking forward to more of your videos!

When I was babysitting my niece I used to wear ear plugs. I could still hear her just fine - I wasn't trying to block her out, but it got the volume down to a manageable level for my brain.

I have noticed that my son and I have horrible hand writing. When my nephew's son was diagnosed with autism I realized what I had suspected. Oh well, I'm 76 now and have managed to survive all the social struggles I went through. Always a loner, no best friend ever. I sent this to family members because they don't get it.

Thanks for the video, great information. When an Autism diagnosis comes in adulthood, you could actually be dealing with CPTSD. Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder looks VERY similar to adult Asperger's. There is a heavy overlap of symptoms between the two. Anyone who believes they might be autistic, or has ever been diagnosed as autistic, would be well-served to explore their childhood emotional environment. While the conditions look very similar, the mode of therapy pursued will differ greatly. Autism is neurological and consequently doesn't really change. Therapy would be more focused on self-awareness and adaptive behavior. With CPTSD, you CAN change/heal. Therapy in that case would also include self-awareness, but rather than adaptive behavior, healing of the emotional trauma through therapy would be the best course of action. And, of course, you can be both. You can be autistic AND suffering from CPTSD. Sorting out how much of each is affecting your behavior will be crucial.

Almost everything in your descriptions list can be explained as some part of growing up and going through things but there is a couple very definitive traits that are indicators. Part of the social thing can be just a normal thing from shy people but even after decades of practice I still find myself freezing up with overstimulation. Sometimes I act not right because I'm throwing off. Lifetime being introverted over-thinker with super-sensitive emotions has not been easy to rewrite!

Oh my gosh! I’m laughing about the headphones because I’ve been using them for YEARS to get people to leave me alone during air travel!
@sueannevangalen5186
I forgot what number this is, but I have been called "hard to get to know." Others don't connect with me; I don't connect with them. And I have no idea how to change that. Yep.
@jim_jam_dseries
Totally agree with greeting procedures Orion. And to all the Catholic autistics out there, how awful was the sign of peace at Mass?! That was until Covid put a stop to physical contact 😁
@BrassHeads_003
For me the food texture thingy is anything with cabbage inside.
@AdrianCHOY
You have 19-20 aspects. You can practically hit anyone with these number of aspects, autistic or otherwise.
@sweetstufff
Great video! The social signs you mentioned also show in people that are not social or have social anxiety even if they are not autistic.
@Ella-abyss-L
it’s nice that there is a channel like this for us, Ty
@AWSRWS72
3 yrs ago I watched this video. My FIRST of hundreds since then. Your video helped me see that I was Autistic. I FINALLY felt like I had answers to questions I didn't even know how to ask. It got me started on a 2 year research about autism and eventually I paid to have a diagnosis done. Yep !!! I'm Autistic. Thank you !!!! THIS video changed my life. I'll forever be grateful for this video.
@Ann_Moreno
Thank you so much for making your videos. 🙏 You have made such a difference in many people's lives.
@sivar4465
I actually never wear any type of headphones in public cause I’m always anxious and think what if someone call me or what if a car comes behind me and I don’t hear it. So even though I’m pretty sure I’m autistic I always wanna be aware of my surroundings, especially cause I’m alone most of the times
@frantucker608
Fascinating and hugely helpful, thanks for doing this!!
@dixietreks3974
I have an austic adult son and it explains a lot. Thank you. I shared this video to my facebook page because I thought it to be very informative.
@pr0l0w
