  seen anyone else talk about about autism and how I think
• 0:11
  these are going to help you in your life.

• 0:20
  notification belt on so you'll be alerted when I asked you to
• 0:22
  ask me questions. Okay.
• 0:23
  The first question is from in visible spectrum life, and they
• 0:27
  said do you find it hard to relate to Er aspies ever.
• 0:31
  I don't think I find it hard to relate to other people on the
• 0:34
  Spectrum. I feel like I have good rapport
• 0:36
  with other people on the spectrum because we have similar
• 0:38
  interests. Okay.
• 0:39
  The next question here is from Samantha rise Ruiz to and they
• 0:44
  said can you make a video with some tips for parents of kids
• 0:49
  for autistic kids what to do / not to do love your channel.
• 0:54
  Yeah. Absolutely.
• 0:55
  I am going to be doing a whole series on like parent hacks for
• 0:59
  parents of Kids who are on the Spectrum?
• 1:01
  I started a series about parents who are on the Spectrum.
• 1:03
  So this next series is going to be all about like parenting kids
• 1:06
  on the Spectrum. Okay.
• 1:08
  The next question here is from Doctor Who Rihanna and 74 and
• 1:12
  they said do you think that being on the Spectrum plays a
• 1:16
  part in determining one's gender identity.
• 1:18
  I don't think so. I feel like gender identity is
• 1:20
  what you're born with the to you are so it's like yeah, you know,
• 1:23
  I don't think that really plays a role in that.
• 1:25
  Okay guys, so I'm super excited wanted this video for a long
• 1:27
  time. And yeah, I'm super pumped.
• 1:29
  Let's get into it. Okay, guys, I don't have every
• 1:32
  single book here with me that I'm going to talk about today.
• 1:35
  So I'll put a picture on the screen at the ones that are
• 1:37
  missing and the other ones I do have here.
• 1:40
  I will show you guys on the screen.
• 1:41
  So first of all, we're going to look at a talk about here is
• 1:44
  look into my eyes. Now.
• 1:46
  This book is by a guy called Dan Jones who's not me but he is a
• 1:49
  friend of mine ironically and he's also hypnotherapist.
• 1:52
  So this book is about Asperger's Syndrome hypnotherapy and him
• 1:56
  and his kind of life and growing up and stuff.
• 1:57
  It's actually got a five star review on Amazon, which is
• 1:59
  pretty Something to think this was actually a best-seller a
• 2:01
  one-time now, that is an author. He has a bunch of other books
• 2:04
  out and he hasn't very good insight into living with an
• 2:07
  Autism Spectrum condition. He was on a panel that I did in
• 2:10
  summer in the city recently and he had such a good Insight in
• 2:15
  talking about like life and family life with being on the
• 2:17
  Spectrum. So his book I believe is going
• 2:19
  to be very very useful for people who want to just like
• 2:22
  read more about other people's lives with autism.
• 2:24
  I think like that's going to be a really good one for you guys
• 2:26
  to get into. Okay guys.
• 2:27
  My next book here is looking looking for normal now looking
• 2:32
  for normal is at this is a full title looking for normal autism
• 2:36
  and other complicated stuff, which is a paperback book
• 2:39
  released by a guy called Steve slavin or slaven and this book
• 2:44
  is basically how he had this like lifelong battle with like
• 2:47
  depression and Social Anxiety having a diagnosis of autism and
• 2:51
  kind of like, you know, how he bounced out and stuff that
• 2:54
  really interesting book. I think he also has OCD as well.
• 2:56
  So it's super relate to this guy if you have dyslexia, then you I
• 3:00
  would just like the same person basically very cool guy.
• 3:03
  It's actually this book is recommended because I bought
• 3:05
  another book which I'll get into in a minute, but I feel like
• 3:08
  this one would really help people who are wanting to find
• 3:10
  someone who they can relate to and kind of share those
• 3:13
  struggles in life issues with people like that, you know,
• 3:16
  because I feel like you know, we all had need someone to look at
• 3:18
  and go. Oh, yeah, I feel like that to
• 3:20
  our shared those kind of relative issues with I feel like
• 3:23
  that helps a lot of people and it's therapeutic.

• 3:39
  become the force by me Daniel Jones.
• 3:41
  So yeah, this is my book called become the force.
• 3:44
  Now the reason I put this book in here and it's a Star Wars
• 3:47
  base philosophy, but you might be like what has this got to do
• 3:49
  with autism? Well, the book does two things
• 3:51
  one. It's talking about how like the
• 3:53
  Jedi in Star Wars. I'm like a philosophy that can
• 3:55
  help your life. But on the other side, it talks
• 3:57
  about me growing up with autism and dick.
• 4:00
  How Star Wars was like an Escape Route for me and how I learn
• 4:03
  certain things through Styles and how I feel like escapism and
• 4:06
  franchising and obsessions are really good for people on the
• 4:08
  Spectrum. So definitely check this book
• 4:10
  out. If you want to get it you can
• 4:11
  actually get it in Hungarian and Italian and there's also an
• 4:14
  audio book version available and you get on Kindle as well.
• 4:17
  So yeah, definitely check out my book.
• 4:19
  I'm super proud of this is my first ever book my first-ever
• 4:21
  publication and it was actually on a publisher as well.
• 4:24
  What cans media super pumped link is in description below.
• 4:27
  Please let me know if you already have this.
• 4:29
  I know I've seen find a few of these when people come see me at
• 4:31
  like conventions and cons and stuff like that.
• 4:33
  So thank you so much for that. Okay, guys, let's move on to the
• 4:37
  next book. Okay.
• 4:38
  So this is number 4 and you remember I was talking to you
• 4:40
  about a book that was recommended to me called that
• 4:43
  looking for normal was recommended to me whilst I was
• 4:45
  buying another book. So the book I was buying whilst.
• 4:48
  I was recommended that it was actually this book and this book
• 4:51
  is the reason I jump now. The reason I jump was a book
• 4:55
  that we bought because Naomi my partner studied this when she
• 4:58
  was in university because she's A degree in childhood studies on
• 5:01
  about what is a man as burgers and so she bought this book
• 5:04
  called The reason I jumped by somebody called Nia cut Naki
• 5:08
  higashi de okay. I'm very dyslexic.
• 5:11
  So if I pronounce this wrong that I'm so sorry and this is
• 5:14
  actually I think there's this is dictated by know our key and
• 5:18
  Nike and then it's a guy called the David Mitchell who actually
• 5:22
  kind of like translated this and put it into like actual word
• 5:25
  context because it's about a person who is autistic and then
• 5:29
  Is on the reasons why they do things like you know, why do
• 5:32
  they stand? Why do they jump why are they
• 5:34
  seem to be misbehaving and all those kinds of things and it's
• 5:36
  fascinating. It was the first time somebody
• 5:39
  of an awesome Spectrum condition had put the stuff in two words
• 5:42
  like that. It's just amazing and it was a
• 5:44
  very eye-opening book. I mean they use it in Academia.
• 5:47
  This book is like super super dope.
• 5:48
  So I would definitely recommend checking this book out.
• 5:51
  I think you can get it relatively cheap now because
• 5:53
  it's like, you know mass-produced very very good
• 5:55
  though. I highly recommend it.
• 5:56
  Okay. So number 5 does book just
• 5:58
  jumped out at me when I was researching.
• 5:59
  Books for people on the Spectrum I wanted to find books that
• 6:02
  would relate to parents as well as I know a lot of my viewers
• 6:04
  are parents and I wanted to reach out to you guys directly
• 6:07
  and give you something that you could take to help improve your
• 6:11
  life as well. So this is called autism how to
• 6:14
  raise a happy autistic child. And I think this is just on
• 6:16
  Kindle. I'm not entirely sure the author
• 6:18
  is Jesse Hewitt sun' and the book is super cool.
• 6:22
  It looks very good. The cover looks amazing and it's
• 6:24
  kind of like a sat-nav what they describe as a SAT enough for
• 6:27
  being like a parent, you know. Navigating your way around
• 6:31
  having an autistic kid. And the funny thing about it is
• 6:34
  like it's got how to read to happy autistic child.
• 6:36
  And every monster is our kids to be happy.
• 6:38
  That's the reason you know, you're doing your best at like
• 6:40
  parenting. So this book would be definitely
• 6:42
  recommended for any parents out there looking for a book to get
• 6:45
  into or if you are not even a parent yet and you think about
• 6:47
  having kids in the future and you're on the Spectrum when you
• 6:50
  you know, you worried that or maybe you have an autistic child
• 6:53
  and you're worried about having to search out but you shouldn't
• 6:55
  be worried because it's awesome things like this book and you
• 6:58
  that can help navigate people through that.
• 6:59
  Oh, yeah, definitely check out this book.
• 7:01
  I found this phone quite an interesting want to check in and
• 7:03
  it seems to have a really good reason.
• 7:05
  I 55 reviews on Amazon others like a 4.5 star marker, which is
• 7:09
  pretty decent. Okay.
• 7:10
  So number six. This one was really really fun.
• 7:13
  I wanted to make sure I had a selection of different books in
• 7:16
  this video. Now this book is kind of aimed
• 7:19
  at children or young people and this book is called the survival
• 7:23
  guide for kids with autism disorders are autism spectrum
• 7:27
  disorders. Oh and also has in Brackets and
• 7:28
  their parents so I guess parents could read this book as well.
• 7:31
  So I think it's like an all-rounder kind of like goes to
• 7:33
  the parent it goes with the kids.
• 7:34
  I feel like you can you know chop and change between them
• 7:37
  because I feel like pounds are going to benefit from it as
• 7:39
  well. But one of the things the reason
• 7:40
  that I chose this book is because I wanted to find a book
• 7:42
  that you know, younger people on the Spectrum could find a book
• 7:45
  that they related to and they could have fun with as well
• 7:47
  because you know, we all you know, we're all at different
• 7:49
  stages in our life, you know, and so some books aren't always
• 7:52
  at the same levels other people. So this one was written by
• 7:54
  Elizabeth verdict. And yeah, it's a like a positive
• 7:58
  straightforward book. Offers kids with Austin's
• 8:01
  veteran soldiers their own comprehensive resource for both
• 8:04
  understanding the condition and finding tools to cope which I
• 8:06
  feel it's super beneficial. I highly recommend checking this
• 8:10
  out. If you're a kid or you have kids
• 8:11
  and you want to recommend good books to your kids.
• 8:13
  Why not? Also if anyone's watching you
• 8:15
  like working at school, maybe get this book in what we kind of
• 8:18
  really good for the kids to read it.
• 8:20
  Okay guys, so the last book number 7 not this book actually
• 8:23
  fell into my lap almost literally, so I did a sponsored
• 8:27
  video with a company called Sundays.
• 8:29
  Essays or Sundays or Sunday my kind of model called.
• 8:33
  Anyway, the company sent me a bunch of stuff to review and I
• 8:36
  did the review but they also sent me this book.
• 8:38
  This book is called living well on the Spectrum how to use your
• 8:43
  strengths to meet the challenges of Asperger's Syndrome start
• 8:46
  siphoning autism Valerie gasps PhD now, she actually signed
• 8:51
  this and give me like a little note inside.
• 8:53
  This book was really nice them to send us really wrote this
• 8:55
  like know and everything inside this book.
• 8:57
  I didn't know what to expect from it, but it's very Friends
• 9:00
  of it's a great way to help somebody who's feeling like less
• 9:05
  confident. Should I say the moment know
• 9:07
  someone on the Spectrum who feels like they're kind of not
• 9:09
  how lost bit like they're not as confident as you wanted to be.
• 9:12
  They feel like they're a bit of an outcast and things like that
• 9:14
  because we've all been that I felt like that as well.
• 9:16
  And so this book is very interesting and this is not the
• 9:18
  first time I've seen this book actually one of my fans Holly.
• 9:21
  Her name was to came to my talk in Birmingham and that and she
• 9:25
  was talking to me and she had this book as long as she's been
• 9:27
  going through these different things as well.
• 9:29
  So I that this is pretty awesome.
• 9:31
  And yeah, there's so many activities in this book.
• 9:33
  I found that just super amazing to share this with you and like
• 9:37
  hey, they sent it to me. I just felt so like blessed us
• 9:39
  what one semi this book. I haven't gotten around to
• 9:42
  reading all of this yet. I've actually breezed through it
• 9:44
  quite a bit and I haven't done any tasks in there, but maybe I
• 9:46
  should definitely do some of the tasks sometime soon.
• 9:49
  But look it's a decent big book and if you're interested by a
• 9:52
  doctor, I think it's really good.
• 9:54
  Do a really nice some of this book and she's lovely she's
• 9:56
  having like a really nice note and she enjoys the work we're
• 9:58
  doing the channel. So I thought I would put a book
• 10:01
  in there because I really think this could help some people who
• 10:03
  are looking for like strategies and things too like activities
• 10:06
  within a book. That's a super awesome like
• 10:08
  activities in the book. You don't see those these days
• 10:10
  and you know, these are just a small snapshot of some of the
• 10:13
  books that are available and I just wanted to give you seven of
• 10:16
  the ones that I picked out right now.
• 10:17
  I think I just like the best ones that you could buy right
• 10:20
  now. Okay guys, we're going to leave
• 10:21
  it there right now because I've got loads of stuff to do, but
• 10:23
