• 1:59
  Asperger symptoms or autism traits that you've probably not
• 2:02
  come across before in this form guys welcome back to the ASP
• 2:06
  world. My name is Dan.
• 2:07
  I have autism in ADHD and I make weekly videos all about this
• 2:10
  stuff. So if you're new around here and
• 2:11

  other platform, just click follow that'll be grand guys.
• 2:21
  What is going on? I wanted to do this video
• 2:23
  because I was in an event recently, I went to Llandudno,
• 2:26
  which is like city near where I live and I went there to do an
• 2:29
  event or talking about odds and kind of misunderstood traits and
• 2:33
  symptoms, if you will. People don't really use the same
• 2:35
  symptoms that much, but the term trait is used but traits of
• 2:39
  autism or Asperger's syndrome, depending what you're diagnosed
• 2:42
  with. And I kind of blew people's
• 2:44
  minds with things. So I wanted to go over those
• 2:46
  today in a video because I think it's going to be really
• 2:47
  interesting for you to learn. So we're going to get straight
• 2:49
  into it right after I tell you that you can download my free
• 2:52
  autism Wifax PDF book from autismfax.net right now.
• 2:55
  All right guys, let's get into it.
• 2:56
  So the third, that's what I want to talk about is changes.
• 2:59
  Now, when you think about changes being an issue with
• 3:02
  change for someone on the autism spectrum, you think, OK, yeah,
• 3:05
  people only have some spectrum do have issues with change,
• 3:07
  which is true, they do, but it's not always what you think.
• 3:11
  People think that, hey, we're going to go to McDonald's and
• 3:13
  then get ice cream, but then halfway the cow breaks down.
• 3:17
  Yes, that is a change. And yes, that could upset
• 3:19
  someone on the spectrum. But that's not the only type of
• 3:21
  change that will cause someone on the spectrum to be upset or
• 3:25
  wound up or even maybe 'cause a meltdown.
• 3:27
  The change I'm talking about is things from evolving spaces, the
• 3:31
  sensory impact of buildings. Say you go outside and there is
• 3:35
  a building that used to be there, but now it's disappeared.
• 3:38
  That visual sense or visual aspect of where you are in the
• 3:41
  city or your town now has changed.
• 3:44
  Now, that is something that people don't really think about,
• 3:46
  because when you think about architecture and modifications,
• 3:49
  you think of improvements in something that's going to be
• 3:51
  good. But actually for autistic
• 3:53
  people, those landmarks and those markers in their life are
• 3:56
  actually huge changes. Like one day you walk down the
• 3:58
  street and there used to be school here.
• 3:59
  Now it's a big field, or it used to be filled there, and that was
• 4:02
  a block of flats or an apartment block for you American folk.
• 4:05
  But those types of things are changes that people don't think
• 4:08
  about because you're only thinking about, you know, micro
• 4:11
  size changes. But on a macro level, things, on
• 4:14
  a macro level, things change rapidly, especially with
• 4:16
  architecture. And I find this is so
• 4:18
  interesting. It's quite an odd thing to think
• 4:19
  about, but it definitely happens.
• 4:21
  So you could be like evaluating everything, like oh, my kid
• 4:24
  walking down the street, or I'm walking down the street and I'm
• 4:26
  suddenly triggered and I've gone through all my triggers,
• 4:28
  everything, and it's just not happening.
• 4:29
  So this is something that would actually 'cause that to happen.
• 4:32
  OK, so No 2 is sensory issues. Now we all talk about sensory
• 4:35
  processing disorder and sensory issues for people on the autism
• 4:38
  spectrum. And we all know that people on
• 4:39
  the autism spectrum do have issues with sense of touch,
• 4:43
  taste, and all that other stuff. But there's something more
• 4:46
  important that we don't really talk about, and this is the role
• 4:48
  of temperature in your sensory experience.
• 4:50
  Now, for instance, when I'm doing DIY, I get so hot and
• 4:55
  flustered because I'm having to do something that I'm not
• 4:57
  comfortable with. I'm not very comfortable with
• 4:59
  DIY because I have terrible fine motor skills, but also the
• 5:02
  attention that it takes to actually do DIY is quite
• 5:04
  difficult for people in the autism spectrum.
• 5:06
  Now, because of that, my temperature increases and the
• 5:08
  temperature increases quite dramatically, and I'm already a
• 5:10
  hot person. So that temperature increase
• 5:13
  causes me to be completely disoriented.
• 5:15
  So I have to kind of strip down to just my underpants to do the
• 5:17
  DIY, which FYI guys is super funny.
• 5:21
  Have a good laugh. But that whole experience
• 5:25
  reminds me of the fact that like I'm always hot and temperatures
• 5:28
  really trigger me. So I go into a room that's
• 5:30
  slightly hot or a little bit too hot for my liking and it's I'm
• 5:34
  on the edge. I'm already, my cup is already
• 5:36
  full. I've got no more spoons left.
• 5:37
  If you don't spoon theory is we have like a certain amount of
• 5:39
  spoons you can use during the day.
• 5:40
  And then when you're all spoons, it's meltdown time.
• 5:42
  Yeah. But that experience is
• 5:45
  definitely something that people forget about when they think
• 5:47
  about sensory experiences. They don't think about
• 5:49
  temperature experiences, but those do trigger people on the
• 5:51
  spectrum, which I think is quite odd to think about on a massive
• 5:55
  scale. Okay, so the last one I'm going
• 5:56
  to talk about here is clothing choices.
• 5:59
  Now, people on the spectrum do have issues with sensory
• 6:02
  textures, right? So the textures are clothing.
• 6:04
  So kind of like having tags on the back of your shirt, you want
• 6:06
  to take those tags off because they feel like razor blades.
• 6:09
  It could be all kinds of sentry input, soft clothes, tight
• 6:12
  clothes, like there's a whole bunch of things that come with
• 6:14
  it. But really, really forgotten
• 6:16
  about all the time is the oddness of the fact that colors
• 6:20
  and shapes on clothing can also trigger an autism brain to want
• 6:25
  to melt down. So like when I was a kid, I
• 6:27
  couldn't have genes because of the shape of the genes.
• 6:30
  Like in the 90s, I had the shape of the genes.
• 6:33
  They were always very just like straight down, no shape to them,
• 6:36
  very square, very card body. And I couldn't have those on.
• 6:39
  And the same with like logos. I used to love like getting
• 6:42
  T-shirts and loads of logos on a bit.
• 6:43
  As you guys already noticed, I always wear like plain T-shirts
• 6:45
  or just a small logo here because the logos that were here
• 6:48
  were too triggering and too, too kind of like stimulating for me.
• 6:51
  So I was always getting distracted by the logos on my
• 6:53
  T-shirt because I may not like them or those logos were like
• 6:56
  overriding my experience to stay focused and stay kind of in the
• 7:00
  moment. So those things are really
• 7:02
  interesting and I find so fascinating.
