My Therapist did hint me to check if i am on the autism spectrum but, naw, not really. In most of those its more the opposite, especially the first one, its more like i can feel others emotions and if those persons are on the compatible spectrum, meaning able to endure their emotions and be aware of them, i can connect with these perfectly fine, but its hard work if those are in the chaotic spectrum, its kinda like a minefield. Kind of feels like such persons are not aware of their true emotions or get too caried away by these.
5. is something i do have problems with, but for other reasons, i think too long before i speak. I got called scattered professor(or similar Zerstreuter Professor in german) so far just once.
9. Its actually both, i see what others are saying with their usage of words, but in the Same time i read it literally like if someone says something like: My gosh i got scared and shat myself. I see that person writting that as someone that literally shat himself, why should that person write something like that if its not true While also knowing its not the truth obviously. (because it would be awkward to write that if it really happened. Other example is the Glas is half empty, it just cant be, like imagine a Glas that has the half of a Zero, the half of nothing at all, that does not work, thus does not exist. (but i know that it means being pessimistic physically its pretty much the same but other perspective. I am different for sure, but i do not fit to the autism spectrum.
(i wouldnt mind though)

I was diagnosed with autism at age 2, but most of these signs don’t describe me. There were times I struggled to fit in and understand what others were talking about, and a lot of times I experienced feeling left out. However, I wouldn’t say that I have no friends, because I have multiple friends, and now all my current friends also have a disability. I wouldn’t say I talk in an old fashioned way, and one sign said autistic people may understand words that others don’t, but there are some words I don’t understand that other people my age probably know the meaning of. I also don’t take everything literally, and I do understand idioms, but probably not all of them. In high school I had a teacher who taught me a lot of new idioms, but even back then, there were a lot of them I already knew. I have been known to talk a lot, and I had some people who think I talk too much. A lot of times I get interrupted by others, and it’s always me they do it to, but not anyone else. Also, I am not obsessed with routine, just like today, I went out to somewhere in the community that I never went to before, and it’s the 1st time going there on Wednesday. However, it didn’t bother me and I actually enjoyed the experience, and there some changes I dealt with that I’m ok with. Doing new things don’t always stress me out, and I’ve done lots of new things without letting it bother me.

thank you for this video!
omg yes, i can hear the buzz when plugs aren't fully in the outlet, i can hear my stove burning the gas, i can hear the radiator hiss when it's winding down. as a kid, i told family members and they thought i was crazy. i might be, but that's only after years of being treated like shit for being autistic and not being able to get over it. i survive the annoying sounds by wearing 2 types of earplugs. one for home (33db) and one for going in crowded public spaces (28db, both contoured. and of course! this near-constant earplug use gives me ear infections about once a year, but considering that i've tried to look into surgical hearing reduction and been left wanting, it's my only choice.
understanding everything as literal language is weird. for phrases i know to be metaphor, i don't process them as the actual words but as a package definition, like splitting hairs being too focused on details, other person is frustrated. but it also affects things like recognizing dry begging. it's frustrating! if you need something, just ask, don't try to manipulate people into offering or guessing what you need.

I am diagnosed with High functioning autism, and I just discovered this year in sophomore. I found out through accommodations and diagnosis. I was so shocked because my parents refused to acknowledge it even though I was diagnosed in 2017. Not only that I was also diagnosed with Cognitive Disorder of Executive function(I still do not know what that is or why am I diagnosed with that) My parents didn't believed I have autism. But yet they were saying they got accommodations because they requested it. I have really struggling experiences with eye contact because its a way of stinking that I do in order to communicate. I realized my struggles with emotional control and my verbal communication control are influenced by that. But this year I took therapy. Though I still have lots of struggle with social cues and how people feel, I'm doing better. But its still a long run. But this thing really helped me grew because I can draw, play violin, sing and learn fast. I think I owe it to this thing. But though I would consider it as a frenemy, ill admit it did me good in my life.

I clicked on this video because I'm convinced that my mother is Autistic. She definitely has no clue as to waiting her turn to talk, and often has nothing actually relevant to say, and instead focuses on tiny irrelevant details that have no bearing on the overall main topics. Most of her behaviour is just her reflecting what you've done to her back on to you, as she sees it to be, anyway. She has a complete lack of thinking abilities, and instead uses her emotions in lieu of an actual thought process.
On a second note, sometimes having poor social skills is simply a result of social isolation and lack of practice. Once you find a group you can actually groove with, socializing becomes easy and fun. Not everyone will be your friend in this world. You just need to accept that. Not everyone belongs at your table. People shouldn't be forced to pay attention to you simply because you exist. My mother never understood that, either.
It's so disheartening to realize that your own mother may be Autistic, or otherwise mentally retarded in some fashion.

I think I may have mild autism, but I’m not sure! I relate heavily to being annoyed by sounds other people don’t notice, talking over people by accident, and having troubke with when my expectations for my routine get interrupted. I’ve had full blown meltdowns over people springing things on me or making sudden changes to a plan without letting me know in advance. I also have great trouble maintaining eye contact and can barely do so for more than 30 seconds- and even thats a stretch. I have to make sure to pay attention to where I’m looking because I’ll get emerged in the conversation as if I WERE making eye contact and not even notice what I’m looking at- wich has led to some issues in the past.
However, I dont have any trouble understanding and communicating with people, as a matter of fact I’ve been called an empath multiple times for how easily I read people.
does anyone have any advice

I was diagnosed with ASD last year in March (Level 1 Support. I am late diagnosed at 21, and many of the signs in females look different in males. Here are some of the signs my diagnosis paperwork highlighted to me being on the spectrum:
Trouble communicating thoughts and feelings to others
Preference for solitude
Echolalia or repeating words or phrases in TV shows
Walking on tippy toes
High focus on special interests
Speaking like a professor (I get that I talk like a college professor a lot)
Issues with emotional regulation or hyper empathy
Gifted intellectually (not true for all autistic people, but can be an indicator for some)
Hand flapping and spinning (stims)
High Pattern Recognition (number, letters, dates, even psychologically with people’s behavior)
Often not being able to read the room
I hope these help someone, I got my diagnosis from a Behavior Specialist

We ourselves are an AuDHDer plurality with CPTSD.
We speak formally but for some slang, using words from Early Modern to middle modern English often, & even proper grammar in typing.
Well hell, we’re literally typing this in paragraphs.
We speak in a calm, smooth, deep, European accented voice that doesn’t fluctuate in pitch much, with a calm, almost tired and sombre face to match.
Think Beau from animal crossing crossed with the not-evil Terminator, who speaks like someone bookish from the mid 1800s. Complete with uncanny deduction skill, noticing the slightest things, and simply not understanding humans sometimes, like when they disobey the rules of their own language.
We can read people like an open book oft, but usually it’s the what without the why.
In short: several androids in a trenchcoat pretending to be a human is what masking feels like to us, so we stopped doing so.

My old psych told me I'm too chatty and talk a lot, and that's why I can't possibly be on the spectrum. My eye contact is also good, but I can not tell you the eye color of anybody I know. I fake eye contact. If this psych knew how bad my knowledge of social cues is, I'd keep my diagnostics. However, it took me cutting him off and seeking better psychiatric care that I finally was validated about my autism. My mom and others gave also wondered why I've cared so much, and it's because it's an explanation of why I feel so alien in a world that develops societal norms and rules! It's like everybody read this mysterious rule book, and I was left out of the loop. Plus, everything is so loud! I feel like an alien even if I'm just sitting at home. Nobody in my house hears my fridge or the vents or the toilet. Knowing there's a reason to feeling so alien is comforting.

I know what its like to have Autism, i got diagnosed with it at the age of 5, and life so far been treating me pretty well, the only down side to it, is that i cant apply for a job, cause of me being autistic, and workers think that ill mess up on the job, if hired, i just wish people would treat us, those who are Autistic, with the same respect the regular people have, all we want is to be heard, and respected. i literally have to carry my noise cancelling headphones with me, cause people around me tend to become louder in both indoors & outdoors, and if i dont have my noise cancelling headphones with me, then ill have a break down because of it. and those headphones are my only way of keeping me focused on my tasks. i just hope in the near future, Autistic kids/adults would get some respect, cause were tired of being shuned out of things

So. I basically answered yes to all points except some. I struggle so hard to make friends and absolutely hate group things. Whenever I try to be active in conversation or anything like that in my class I never feel heard or the opposite: feel like I'm interupting them. I don't struggle at small talk though since I have to deal with it almost every day for 2 hours straight. I take dancing lessons and since I CAN'T MAKE FRIENDS I have to small talk with different people every 10 minutes. It basically now is for me like robotic yes/no script where I ask the partner a question and depending on their answer I choose text 1 or text 2. I can't stand people chewing when I'm not eating. When I eat their sound doesn't bother me at all but when I'm not I don't feel well. (4: 40 eeeeek Undertale reference: 3)

For years, I've been pretty sure my diagnosis might be wrong, and after watching this, I'm leaning even more against having ADHD instead. I've tried to be re-tested, now as an adult, but getting to a psychologist here in Norway is way too difficulty. My doctor shows interest in trying to get me to a psychologist to find out, but he need the paperwork from wherever I was diagnosed with autism, then I might get in contact with a psychologist. I'm sure I could benefit from medication some days, otherwise, I might end up sick, fatigue, way too often, which recently was the reason I lost my job. Wasn't directly fired, but was offered to quit, rather than risking being fired later, which I know for sure would happen. Health stuff sucks, when something isn't normal

I am confused on point 10 for myself.
What does changes to route mean
I probably have 1 to 9, but I not upset if I have to do something else, but most peopel think I am. Like doing other things, probably over trained on it when I was on primary school.
Probably because I argue or take too long to switch task in there eyes or my body lan. or they do not like my voice. Or me not looking at them, because I need my eyes on my work to not mess it up till I can stop. I worked with my hands mainly running test and checking and inspecting things.
I love planning out tasks in my head. This seems to upset many people because I stand still and quite for few seconds. Then just do it very good way and polite way.

As someone on the spectrum, i got selected as class delegate on 2 separate occasions, and i noticed a curious pattern: when there was a problem with a teacher, i would want it to comment it with said teacher, but my class would tell me otherwise or send the sub-delegate cause i was too straightfoward. Not rude (i dont think so at least, but i would issue the problem head on, and ask about any inconsistencies i found in the logic or arguments used. I dont understand if my actions embarrased the teacher, the students or if it left them in an awkward situation, but i know i barely got asked twice to mediate.

I just got diagnosed at 23 in November.
I definitely have a monotone voice and earplugs help me not get stressed out at my noisy job. Eye contact feels uncomfortable. I usually only talk about my special interests (snakes and Zelda, sometimes anime. I often wonder how neurotypicals talk so much about so little. Like, where do all those words even come from
And I hate it when people I don’t know try to make small talk with me. No, I don’t want to tell you what my name is or where I’m from! Why do you even care It’s not like we’ll ever talk to each other again

It would be nice if people say what they mean to say instead of an encoded emotional message with the true intent nestled deep within their psyche that you (or any other human) could possibly know without simply rolling the dice and assuming. A lot of conflict happens because of this laziness around language imo. Even if you have the empathy to accurately gauge what emotional speakers mean when they speak and/or you can decode what their true intent is, it's still a guess.

Language assumptions annoy me the most. People learn social cultural norms for the area they are raised in. So, if you're even from another area in a large city, you could both misundstand each other. It's so exclusionary for people on the spectrum or just unfamiliar with your particular ways of speaking. To not take most language literally, unless its obviously sarcasm or metaphor type stuff that can be explained, keeps people from communication effectively between groups.

I noticed all of these signs to an extend in me, but specialized therapists have told me, that they think I'm more in the direction of ADD, what I'm diagnosed with for a long time. My physician, who treated me on ADD for a long time, said the opposite and after the elimination of the autism idea by specialized therapists, I was labled as a malingerer. Amazing, isn't it
Maybe I'm just an end level masker and have no control over it, so I even fool specialized therapists.

Well, both my therapist and psychiatrist said I wasn’t, but I still think I am. I just think I have good masking abilities because I study psychology and became socially aware. If I wasn’t then no one would interact with me like for example only talking about my self interests is a sign, but I know that conversation shouldn’t just revolve around that. Im aware so I guess it dismisses me even the idea of being autistic. :/ If only they met me when I was younger.

As an autist myself, i'm just really confused there was no mentioning of masking (especially women)
I got diagnosed real late because of that. they first diagnosed me with trades of borderline, wich can even also come together with having autism.
Just for anyone here, if you are really wondering/thinking you might be autistic, please seek a professional who know about all the autism signs, there are so many of them and some get real well hidden by masking.
