• 1:05
  former every now and then. So anyway, you guys moving on
• 1:08
  from this. I just like to know.
• 1:09
  Are you a parent or somebody on the Spectrum or a friend or
• 1:11
  something? Or Your person who is on the
• 1:13
  Spectrum and you're just looking to see to seek a diagnosis and
• 1:16
  wanting to know more. Let me know in a comment down
• 1:18
  below. I read and respond to every
• 1:19
  single comment, so, I'd like to have that conversation with you
• 1:22
  super awesome. Okay guys.
• 1:24
  So in this video, I'm covering the five symptoms that I kind of
• 1:27
  think are most notable in people who are on the autism spectrum
• 1:32
  and because of that, notability, I think that it would be good to
• 1:35
  break these down, so I can go through them with you.
• 1:37
  So I've got five of them here which are pretty much the main
• 1:39
  ones. And yeah, let's start opening.
• 1:42
  Owning this discussion. The first one I want to talk
• 1:44
  about is eye contact now. People on the autism spectrum.
• 1:47
  Do you have difficulty creating maintaining and keeping eye
• 1:51
  contact? Because I contact.
• 1:52
  It is something that's very personal personal level and it's
• 1:55
  learned through social behavior. Now people who are on the autism
• 1:58
  spectrum, actually have issues and difficulties with
• 2:00
  socializing and social constructs are social in social
• 2:03
  situations. Meaning that the idea of eye
• 2:06
  contact can be quite a stressful situation and also a
• 2:11
  uncomfortable. Someone on the autism spectrum
• 2:14
  because they may not be used to that and they may not actually
• 2:16
  feel comfortable doing that. So, if you see, a lack of eye
• 2:19
  contact in somebody or if your self, you know, you know, you
• 2:21
  have a lack of eye contact issue, then it could be due to
• 2:24
  the fact that that person or yourself or on the autism
• 2:26
  spectrum. And this is kind of like number
• 2:28
  one area. I tell anybody to just look out
• 2:30
  for if they're coming across something that they think.
• 2:33
  Oh, this person may be on the Spectrum, this is a key
• 2:36
  indicator, and it's one of the main ones to kind of look out
• 2:38
  for when you're looking at people thinking, they may be
• 2:41
  autistic. So, The second thing I'm going
• 2:43
  to talk about here is repetitive Behavior.
• 2:45
  Now people on the autism spectrum, love routine, and
• 2:48
  routine is having something that follows a strict kind of domino
• 2:52
  line of things are going to happen.
• 2:54
  So you know, that you're going to get up at this time, go
• 2:55
  downstairs at that time. Have that for breakfast?
• 2:57
  Go here, go to work at that time.
• 2:59
  Have a coffee in this time and blah, blah, blah blah blah.
• 3:00
  I know you have a routine of structure, a very rigid routine
• 3:03
  and structure and people on the autism spectrum.
• 3:06
  Really enjoy that routine and they love that kind of
• 3:10
  structure. And the reason they do that is
• 3:11
  because it's familiar. It's safe.
• 3:13
  There is no unpredictability within that and so people who
• 3:16
  are autistic simply like, having structure and routine it and
• 3:19
  love falling the routines. Now, a side effect, and it would
• 3:23
  be that if you deviate from that routine, or structure of that
• 3:26
  plan, they may have issues with our.
• 3:29
  We may have issues with where if I'm trying to follow a strict
• 3:32
  routine or a strict kind of plan.
• 3:33
  I'm going to do this this and this and this, and then I go oh
• 3:37
  you know, somebody comes in and says we're going to do something
• 3:39
  different, it completely throws me.
• 3:41
  And then it like it's It's always been my entire day Gaston
• 3:43
  out and then I kind of feel a bit anxious and that could cause
• 3:46
  a meltdown because I just feel like everything else, you know,
• 3:49
  going forward is going to be completely disrupted.
• 3:51
  So it's a really interesting one to look out for because if you
• 3:55
  know someone who's obviously following a pattern of routine
• 3:57
  and is very stuck in that routine and very, it's very
• 3:59
  rigid and is a very strict routine and it could be due to
• 4:02
  the fact that they are on the autism spectrum, or if it's
• 4:05
  yourself, and hey, well, eyebrows.
• 4:07
  Okay, number three. That would pay some through.
• 4:10
  These are awesome. And you guys think that Video is
• 4:12
  really helpful to help somebody else and why not tag them in the
• 4:15
  comments section of this video or you can share this video on
• 4:18
  Facebook and Twitter to, you know, tell your friends, who may
• 4:21
  find some interest in that super awesome.
• 4:23
  You're amazing, right? Number three.
• 4:25
  This is really cool. This one is literal thinking.
• 4:28
  Now literal thinking is where you take something at face
• 4:30
  value, without question. It kind of like a joke.
• 4:32
  It's going to tell you a joke, you know, they're they're
• 4:34
  setting up with a story and then the story is supposed to be
• 4:37
  funny, but people only odds inspection will take that joke,
• 4:40
  very seriously and then we'll take whatever.
• 4:42
  Do you say as when you say it, as being true, that it's
• 4:45
  truthful fact, because it's hard to read between the lines for
• 4:48
  autistic people. So my friends always do this
• 4:50
  family, always joke about and tell me stupid things,
• 4:52
  ridiculous. Things that I end up believing
• 4:53
  obviously and then they just laugh about it.
• 4:55
  And they kind of use it to our advantage, to get some kind of
• 4:57
  comical value of it, which is, you know, that's friends for
• 5:01
  you. Friends are the worst and the
• 5:03
  best. So yeah, but little thinking is
• 5:06
  something that happens all the time and this can be a blessing
• 5:09
  and also a issue because it's a blessing and Where you can have
• 5:13
  somebody in the autism spectrum. Being completely honest and
• 5:15
  truthful, which is super amazing and they will take what you say
• 5:18
  and Trust what you say, the issue the issue is that someone
• 5:21
  could lie and become, you know, you make you vulnerable and then
• 5:24
  you become vulnerable to them lying and stuff like that.
• 5:27
  But taking things literally like not understanding, sarcasm,
• 5:29
  notwithstanding jokes, all that kind of stuff.
• 5:31
  This is so common. It's kind of like it's kind of
• 5:35
  like a really big red flag for someone who is on the autism
• 5:38
  spectrum, if they're not getting the jobs, if they really don't
• 5:40
  understand. And are taking things literally,
• 5:41
  it's like Like that's autism dude.
• 5:44
  What is MM? Okay, so before I get into
• 5:47
  actual number four because we got two left, I just want to ask
• 5:50
  if you guys are finding value from this video, can you please
• 5:52
  give it a thumbs up because it would really, really help me
• 5:54
  because thumbs up an amazing to help me indicate that you enjoy
• 5:58
  these videos. You'd like to see more and also
• 6:00
  just helps this video in general.
• 6:01
  So if you could give it a nice, big juicy thumbs up.
• 6:03
  I'd be forever grateful. Let's try get past. 400 likes or
• 6:06
  something, you know, be super awesome for could do that.
• 6:08
  Look at that teamwork or yes. Awesome.
• 6:11
  Okay, Number four is socializing.
• 6:15
  So people only often inspection will have huge issues with
• 6:18
  socializing and social behaviors.
• 6:20
  For instance, they may not understand social conventions
• 6:22
  like how close to some to somebody else.
• 6:24
  How how distanced and how much their voice volume?
• 6:28
  Kind of you know should be at a certain level when they're
• 6:30
  talking to other people. How they know it's their turn to
• 6:33
  talk when it's their turn to talk loads of different social
• 6:36
  constructs like that. All these are very difficult for
• 6:38
  autistic people to kind of come up with think about understand.
• 6:42
  All of these Solutions Unwritten rules.
• 6:43
  And the reason why is because all of these Unwritten unspoken
• 6:46
  about social construct, a things that are developed when you're
• 6:50
  young and you're growing up and your and you've got friends and
• 6:53
  then you, you talk to your friends about something and then
• 6:56
  you learn different things together, as friends as
• 6:58
  comrades, you know, you grow together and you learn together,
• 7:01
  but unfortunately, with autism spectrum disorder.
• 7:03
  Because that is such a difficult concept because it is a
• 7:07
  communication issue, it's harder for them to pick that up or for
• 7:10
  us to pick that up. So, Using social interaction,
• 7:13
  making friends maintaining French, keeping relationship to
• 7:15
  saying the wrong things. Having filter.
• 7:17
  All these things are very much amiss with people on the autism
• 7:20
  spectrum and this is a huge giveaway that somebody is
• 7:22
  autistic. Okay, so number five, the last
• 7:24
  on the list is obsessive interest and this is probably my
• 7:27
  favorite one because people who are on the autism spectrum, have
• 7:31
  an obsessive interest or is obsessive, special interest,
• 7:34
  which means that they have its subject genre or something that
• 7:38
  they know every single thing about you could ask them
• 7:40
  anything on it, they'll know everything about it, they
• 7:41
  product. Collect everything to do with
• 7:43
  it. They tell you everything, they
• 7:44
  spent all the time, researching it, they want to talk to you
• 7:46
  about all the time and that's it.
• 7:48
  That's all I want to talk to you about like figure obsessed with,
• 7:50
  like, right now, I'm, I love Tamagotchis.
• 7:53
  I just got a new one as well, and I'm obsessed with
• 7:54
  Tamagotchis. Like, I know I'm like a 30 year
• 7:57
  old dude, like this is, yeah, I love some of the cheese, but
• 8:00
  people on the autism spectrum, have obsessive interests.
• 8:03
  Now, if you're thinking to yourself, okay, for everybody
• 8:05
  has interesting stuff, right? You will, yes, they do.
• 8:07
  But do people go to the Great Lengths where they start like
• 8:10
  hoarding stuff and like really Really getting into collectors
• 8:13
  Theory and then really kind of like researching everything to
• 8:16
  know about it. Like, for instance, something
• 8:17
  the autism spectrum who has an obsessive interest in something,
• 8:21
  say it's Marvel or DC or something like superhero, really
• 8:24
  it, right? They probably know everything
• 8:25
  down to the person who designed the shoe laces, in the comic
• 8:28
  books. All the reason why those shoes
• 8:29
  were picked and how the progression of that character
• 8:31
  shoes were evolved over time because it's the small menu
• 8:35
  detail. It's the it's the collecting of
• 8:37
  data. The Gathering of research, which
• 8:39
  is the thing, probably excites the brain and getting because I
• 8:41
  love Doing that stuff as well. So it's that, that makes it more
• 8:45
  of an obsessive interest from an artistic point of view, rather
• 8:47
  than just somebody saying, oh, you know, I have an obsessive
• 8:49
  interest in the X y&z in blah, blah, blah.
• 8:52
  So, it's more like an obsessive interest and they become almost
• 8:56
  like a guru in it. So they'll know everything about
• 8:58
  it, which is a really good thing, because just think about
• 9:00
  it. Now, I, this could be your job
• 9:02
  if you like, you know, mechanic or a builder or something like
• 9:04
  that, you know. If you're really interested in
• 9:06
  mechanics or something or driving or whatever, and you can
• 9:08
  become an expert in that field and that's a really good leeway
• 9:11
  are or In to get a really cool job in that field for guys that
• 9:15
  was it. I was the 5 is the symptoms that
• 9:17
  you really needed to know and I hope now that you understand
• 9:20
