• 1:20
  the DMS on Instagram. So I reply to everybody.
• 1:22
  So yeah, go do that now. Cool.
• 1:27
  So this is kind of a way of seeing autism and adults, like,
• 1:30
  you've never seen it before. I'm super pumped about this
• 1:32
  because I wanted to this video for a while and talk about other
• 1:34
  things that are like, you know, characteristics of someone on
• 1:36
  the autism spectrum, but are not as common as typically, you
• 1:40
  know, like, you might hear it on the national autistic Society
• 1:42
  website or in like a pamphlet or the floor, if you ask your
• 1:45
  doctor. So, yeah, he goes.
• 1:47
  Nothing. Okay.
• 1:48
  So, we'll be covering five of them in this video, but you
• 1:53
  already know that. So, Let's get into it.
• 1:55
  Okay? So the first one is lack of
• 1:57
  social interaction. Now, this is really interesting,
• 1:59
  so people on the autism spectrum.
• 2:01
  Especially adults, with autism, may not have the best social
• 2:05
  skills, right? And because, you know, having a
• 2:08
  an awesome Spectrum. Condition does impact your
• 2:11
  social ability because it's a communicative issue to commute
• 2:15
  it hits the communication part of the brain.
• 2:16
  So, you know, if you're a novel on the autism spectrum,
• 2:19
  conversations at the water cooler at work and not going to
• 2:22
  be something that comes easy to you.
• 2:25
  Or you may say the wrong thing and cross, boundaries of things
• 2:28
  people don't usually say at what a cool it's like having a having
• 2:32
  a filter for what you say in else, swearing or seeing
• 2:35
  something that may be considered rude or crude.
• 2:37
  So but or lack of social interaction is a huge factor and
• 2:42
  a huge Contender. For when you're, when you're
• 2:44
  trying to think is this person on the autism spectrum?
• 2:47
  This is a covert one slips under there because a lot of people
• 2:49
  could like brush off as being oh it's just rude or you know
• 2:52
  whatever but in terms of Of having the having a an
• 2:58
  interaction where you are socially aware socially,
• 3:01
  understanding the social norms and the social conventions that
• 3:03
  are within their Circle. People are not on Spectrum,
• 3:06
  don't have that. So that's something to
• 3:08
  definitely think about and look out for when you're dealing with
• 3:10
  people on the Spectrum. Okay?
• 3:12
  So number two is reclusive. Now, an autistic adults may be
• 3:17
  really reclusive, they may kind of like withdraw themselves and
• 3:20
  social Gatherings or social events because they're overly
• 3:23
  socially anxious about those things.
• 3:25
  And therefore, by default become reclusive or become a recluse.
• 3:28
  Because the things that they enjoy doing is like, reading
• 3:30
  books are going to a library or going to a museum or playing
• 3:33
  video games, or reading research or, you know, stuff like that.
• 3:36
  And you know, it's not really a social event, really is the read
• 3:40
  research, you know what I mean? So, I think it's like, you know,
• 3:42
  it's a huge, huge effort to go to a social convention, like,
• 3:46
  say all your work colleagues or university friends are going out
• 3:49
  for a drink and they say, hey, you're going to come along an
• 3:52
  autistic person would be typically More inclined to say,
• 3:56
  no it's okay. I'll probably stay home and
• 3:57
  study or know I'm doing something else.
• 4:00
  Always have an excuse why, they can't come out.
• 4:02
  And I've been like ass my whole life as well.
• 4:03
  My friend said, rather to say to them, hey, I'm going to be
• 4:06
  honest. I have autism.
• 4:07
  This kind of doesn't understand me and freaks me out a bit and I
• 4:09
  got social anxiety as well. So I'm not going to come out.
• 4:11
  I kind of say to them by, you know, I've got this thing I got
• 4:14
  to do, you know? And then they kind of kind of
• 4:16
  think he just forming them off because you don't hang out
• 4:18
  because you don't like them. So it's actually on it's not,
• 4:21
  it's not a, it's not a bad thing that somebody doesn't want to
• 4:24
  hang out with. You or you don't hang out with
• 4:26
  other people, it's just something that happens because
• 4:28
  you are on the autism spectrum. Your brain works in a slightly
• 4:31
  different way and being, you know, staying at home and doing
• 4:33
  stuff reclusiveness. It is is is your kapiti really
• 4:37
  end of the day. So it's something that's very
• 4:39
  interesting because if you just see that, you know, you might
• 4:42
  just think that's persons being awkward or arrogant or whatever,
• 4:45
  you don't really think. Okay, well, on your tan
• 4:46
  Spectrum, this is a trait of autism, super interesting.
• 4:50
  Okay, number three, obsessive intense interest.
• 4:53
  Now we All know that people on the autism spectrum, can can get
• 4:57
  really into certain topics, right?
• 4:58
  I'll have a specific topic of interest but an intense interest
• 5:01
  is when they get really intense into it and adults on the autism
• 5:04
  spectrum seem to fall into this category quite well.
• 5:06
  So if someone see somebody knows a lot about Marilyn Monroe, and
• 5:10
  but your specific interests is Marilyn Monroe and then they say
• 5:12
  a specific line or, or genre of topic about 10 Monroe, that is a
• 5:17
  factoid, that isn't really accurately, right?
• 5:20
  Then the person on the autism spectrum, could get really
• 5:22
  intense about this and think, hey, you said it?
• 5:25
  You know, this is completely unrelated, you didn't, you don't
• 5:28
  know the context and blah, blah, blah, and so it's knowing how
• 5:32
  intense they get over. Certain obsessive interest
• 5:35
  topics that they know a lot about which will kind of show
• 5:37
  you more about the inclined on the autistic spectrum because
• 5:39
  that intense subject is almost like the life's work, then they
• 5:42
  love that that and they love talking about it and they know
• 5:45
  everything about it and they know what is the correct way to
• 5:48
  do it. And what, you know, correct way
• 5:49
  to talk about the thing and what is complete?
• 5:52
  Tosh on non fact related. So It's interesting to note that
• 5:56
  you know you might have been in the conversation and you got to
• 5:58
  give me a thumbs up. If you've ever come across its
• 6:00
  if you know a guy you think is autistic and you come across the
• 6:02
  conversation or something that he knows about all.
• 6:04
  She knows about and they get really intense almost like
• 6:07
  confrontational about it. That's because it's their thing.
• 6:10
  It's a topic, you know, sit on the topic.
• 6:11
  If you relate to, you've got to give the video a thumbs up, hit
• 6:14
  that thumbs up button right now. Let's see if you can get over
• 6:15
  like 450 thumbs up on this video just so we can all look at and
• 6:19
  go, oh my goodness. How many people relate to?
• 6:20
  This is super awesome. I love it.
• 6:22
  So number four is a strict clock.
• 6:25
  Routine. I want to be by this is an
• 6:27
  autistic adult. Who's on the Spectrum will
• 6:28
  follow routine like what Clockwork like they'll have food
• 6:31
  at the same time every day, they'll go for lunch at the same
• 6:33
  time every day. They will you know they'll know
• 6:35
  exactly what went to go. Get a snack on rickety at the
• 6:38
  same time every single day they'll know what time they're
• 6:39
  going to leave to go home the exact same time every single day
• 6:42
  and if they can't go home at that time then they start
• 6:44
  freaking out or if they can't go to lunch at that time, then I'll
• 6:46
  stop freaking out. It's kind of like a comfort
• 6:49
  thing like having a strict routine like clockwork, but it
• 6:52
  is exactly that it's A Clockwork routine.
• 6:54
  That's one on the autism spectrum will do, you know,
• 6:56
  they'll have the same food every single day because you can you
• 6:59
  could literally set your watch by them because you know,
• 7:01
  exactly how they're going to be even to the fact that the esta
• 7:04
  probably be late because supposed to start work at nine
• 7:06
  o'clock in the not there until 9:10 but I'll come in at 9:30
• 7:09
  every single day. You know the routine is exactly
• 7:12
  what it is and it runs by Clockwork and I think that is
• 7:15
  very very interesting and it's one of the it's one of The
• 7:18
  Tell-Tale signs that someone is on the autism spectrum if they
• 7:21
  have a very strict rigid Clockwork routine.
• 7:24
  Okay? So Is number five.
• 7:26
  This one is intense emotions. Now, people on the autism
• 7:29
  spectrum who are autistic inaudible hood are more likely
• 7:32
  to be not able to control their emotions.
• 7:35
  It may be very angry for no reason.
• 7:37
  We have really bad, anger management.
• 7:38
  They have really bad tempers, they may have really
• 7:41
  uncontrollable upset, when something happens, that you
• 7:44
  might think. Well, that wasn't really that
• 7:45
  intense, you know, but to them, it's kind of a really upsetting
• 7:49
  because there's no way to control emotions.
• 7:52
  Now, everybody else is a spectrum, has an issue with this
• 7:55
  but the older you get, the more situations are around where
• 7:57
  emotions will be higher, you know, maybe it's, you know,
• 8:01
  work-related or University study related or it's like
• 8:04
  relationship related but they can become very intentional
• 8:06
  emotions because emotions convey how we really feel.
• 8:09
  But if you don't understand how you really feel how on Earth you
• 8:12
  supposed to convey them into an emotional response, this is why
• 8:15
  autism's, you know, it's such a vast spectrum and quite an
• 8:18
  interesting concept or interesting subject to look at
• 8:21
  now adults with autism, will definitely display.
• 8:25
  Use with the emotional control, side of things on the emotional
• 8:29
  input that they have for specially to their friends and
• 8:31
  family and work colleagues and whatever.
• 8:33
  So my advice, if you are a person on the autism spectrum is
• 8:37
  to look for Anger Management tips and tricks like that and
• 8:39
  maybe check out like meditation to kind of help.
• 8:42
  I know that it's difficult because you have to kind of
• 8:44
  concentrating, special to me about ADHD, and concentration is
• 8:46
  very difficult, but meditation and guided relaxation and things
• 8:50
  like that can definitely help overcome with these intense
• 8:53
  emotions. Now, if you're a Person is
• 8:55
  watching this and you know, someone who's on the Spectrum
• 8:56
  who has intense emotions, the best thing you can do is not
• 8:59
  react negatively to the emotional response because you
• 9:03
  know that it's not a thing where, you know, they're not
• 9:05
  telling to The Incredible Hulk at the end of the day, they're
• 9:08
  just trying to explain how they feel, but they don't really know
• 9:10
  how to do that. So just have a little bit more
• 9:12
  empathy and sympathy for them and just kind of get down to
• 9:15
  that level and go. Okay, I get it, you know, they
• 9:17
  just need to chill out and I'll be fine.
• 9:18
  You know, it's not a vendetta, they don't like hate anybody.
• 9:21
  And I think like having support from friends, family and people
• 9:24
  who, No, he's gonna be the best Best Way Forward, really?
• 9:27
  Because then you're going to have this relationship with, you
• 9:30
  know, okay, they've got intense emotions because I'm not
• 9:32
  inspection. What can I do to help him?
• 9:34
  I mean golden that's a golden opportunity to really get close
• 9:37
  to somebody who's on the Spectrum.
