  In this video I'm discussing how you have missed Asperger
• 0:03
  Syndrome in people and these are 5 signs of Aspergers.
• 0:06
  All that's coming up. Hey guys, welcome back to the
• 0:16
  aspy world. My name is Dan, I have Asperger

  weekly. OK, guys.
• 0:35
  So what is going on? Welcome back to the Aspiral
• 0:37
  Different Thinkers, What We Think Differently daily.
• 0:40
  What's going on? It's good to have you here, it's
• 0:42
  good to have you here and see everybody just tuning in and
• 0:44
  just having a good time. Today we're discussing something
• 0:47
  quite interesting. People actually miss Aspergers
• 0:50
  diagnosis in people a lot, and actually people mistake
• 0:53
  Aspergers for other things in people.
• 0:55
  Now before we get started and everything else, I just want to
• 0:57
  say I have an Autism Hacks book, a free PDF book download for you
• 1:02
  from me as a little gift. So if you want to get your hands
• 1:05
  on my free PDF download book, there will be a link in the
• 1:07
  count above, here, in the description below, and on the
• 1:09
  end slate. So you can go and check that out
• 1:12
  or whichever way the end slate is, I'm not entirely sure which
• 1:14
  way it is. Anyway, all that being said,
• 1:17
  let's move on with this video, OK?
• 1:18
  I know before every starts attacking me for using the term
• 1:20
  Asperger Syndrome, I know that Asperger Syndrome isn't used
• 1:23
  anymore. It was actually taking out of
• 1:25
  the diagnostic criteria and is now named Autism Spectrum
• 1:28
  Disorder. It doesn't mean Asperger doesn't
• 1:29
  exist, just means that they fused it with everything else
• 1:32
  and became a spectrum of disorders rather than just
• 1:34
  independent names of labeling, which is obviously way more
• 1:37
  complex. So that being said, let's move
• 1:40
  on with this video. So there are basically a bunch
• 1:43
  of different reasons why people don't understand autism and and
• 1:47
  and see it in people and that especially like people with like
• 1:50
  Asperger syndrome where they have lower support needs.
• 1:52
  And so I basically wanted to do this video explaining 5
• 1:56
  Asperger's symptoms or Asperger's traits and signs of
• 2:00
  Asperger's so that you can actually notice these and
• 2:04
  recognize them in people. Because recognizing things, I
• 2:06
  guess, in people is definitely going to save you a lot of
• 2:09
  hassle on aggro if that person is on the spectrum and they need
• 2:11
  a little bit of support from you.
• 2:13
  Or if you're just curious about somebody being on the spectrum
• 2:15
  and you want to know if you know their personal personality
• 2:19
  traits kind of match up with that of autism, right?
• 2:21
  If you want to get me on Instagram and Twitter, please
• 2:23
  do. I love talking to everybody on
• 2:25
  Instagram and Twitter. My name is on the screen here
• 2:27
  and I will always talk to you. So please do that if you want to
• 2:29
  reach out and have a conversation with me.
• 2:31
  OK, guys. So number one is eye tracking.
• 2:34
  Now, a lot of people who are on the autism spectrum will
• 2:37
  actually follow and track things like they'll track stuff with
• 2:41
  the corner of that eye, like especially smooth edges like
• 2:43
  this phone. They'll just track it like that.
• 2:45
  Or if like say you're walking down a road and there's like a
• 2:48
  big long road and there's like a big wall, they'd like track the
• 2:51
  wall with their eye because it's following like a pattern and
• 2:54
  they'd like to do that. So it's called eye tracking or
• 2:57
  eye gazing. But it's actually using that
• 2:59
  that that I used to just gaze slightly untrack something as a
• 3:03
  almost like it's called stimming which is a form of like sensory.
• 3:09
  It's like a sensory stimulated behaviour basically it's the
• 3:12
  best way for explaining that. But eye tracking is something
• 3:14
  that is definitely common and part of an autism spectrum
• 3:17
  disorder. OK, so #2 is bad anger
• 3:20
  management. Now people without spurges will
• 3:22
  have explosive expression of emotions and outbursts of anger
• 3:25
  like like raging, like flip tables and just like because the
• 3:30
  communication part of their brain that in that takes
• 3:33
  information from the outside world and puts it inside and all
• 3:36
  that is definitely a bit of a struggle with people on the
• 3:40
  autism spectrum because it is a communication disorder at the
• 3:42
  end of the day and communication is the way that everything works
• 3:46
  in the world. So having a an issue with
• 3:48
  communicating your feelings and emotions, it causes like a
• 3:51
  really bad anger management, an explosion, an eruption of things
• 3:54
  which is sometimes quite really difficult to deal with.
• 3:57
  But it is definitely a common trait of aspages.
• 4:00
  Actually, in in terms of myself, I've actually broken this hand
• 4:03
  twice, this hand once and this wrist once as well, which is,
• 4:07
  you know, byproduct of having really bad anger management.
• 4:12
  So yeah, definitely a trait to lookout for, and it's definitely
• 4:15
  part of an autism spectrum condition.
• 4:18
  So #3 is quite an interesting one.
• 4:19
  This is giving unrelated answers to questions.
• 4:22
  Now, people on the autism spectrum are almost, I don't
• 4:25
  know, I don't see they're disconnected, but they're
• 4:27
  they're kind of thinking a little bit more outside of the
• 4:29
  box and looking at things from a different perspective.
• 4:32
  Now, this can occur when somebody asks a direct question
• 4:35
  to someone on the autism spectrum, and then the person on
• 4:38
  the autism spectrum may reply with something that's completely
• 4:40
  unrelated to the question that was asked.
• 4:42
  And not because they aren't listening, it's just because
• 4:44
  they're engaged with something else that's going on.
• 4:46
  Or they're actually thinking about it in a different way and
• 4:48
  thinking about something else and not sure how your question
• 4:51
  relates to what they are doing. And this is very, very common
• 4:54
  with people on the autism spectrum to not actually give
• 4:56
  related answers to a lot of questions that they're asked.
• 4:58
  And in a lot of the time, they'll give unrelated
• 5:00
  questions, unrelated answers to questions when they're being
• 5:03
  asked or interviewed by something, which is very, very
• 5:06
  interesting. Okay.
• 5:08
  So #4 is something called echolalia, but basically it's
• 5:11
  repeating words or phrases under their breath.
• 5:14
  So when they, when you're talking to somebody in the
• 5:16
  autism spectrum, they may actually talk to you.
• 5:19
  And then they'll, like, mumble under their breath the same
• 5:22
  thing that they've just spoken to you.
• 5:23
  Like they'll say something and then a minute later they'll just
• 5:26
  say the same thing but under their breath to themselves,
• 5:28
  which is like repeating it. Almost like they've learned a
• 5:30
  script in their head to talk it out.
• 5:31
  And then they're just going over that script again to make sure
• 5:33
  that they actually said that correctly, which is really
• 5:36
  interesting. And this one came about, it's
• 5:38
  part of something called echolalia, which is repeating
• 5:40
  things that they heard or recall the things that they have heard.
• 5:43
  Like, I learned a lot of my vocabulary and my accent from
• 5:45
  television and movies. But in terms of this one where
• 5:48
  they're talking just under their breath, it happens because they
• 5:52
  are repeating a sentence that they've been practicing to make
• 5:55
  sure that they can answer this specific question or this input
• 5:59
  of conversation. And I'm moving in time, and they
• 6:01
  want to make sure it's right. And it's very, very interesting.
• 6:02
  And I noticed this because a lot of other people in the Austin
• 6:04
  Spectrum told me that they did it as well.
• 6:06
  And I was like, wow, I thought it was just me.
• 6:07
  OK, so #5 is unusual reactions to the way that things sound,
• 6:12
  smell or taste. Now autism comes with something
• 6:15
  called SPD and SPD stands for processing disorder.
• 6:18
  This is a comorbid or Co occurring bolt on condition that
• 6:21
  comes hand in hand with autism. Now it means that you may have
• 6:25
  an autistic person who will be partial to different textures or
• 6:30
  smells or tastes or sounds like they may not like the sound of
• 6:34
  certain things like like a freezer tray coming out of the
• 6:37
  freezer and rubbing on the ice could be quite devastating for
• 6:39
  them. Or maybe having soup going cold
• 6:42
  and touching their lips is is very overwhelming for them.
• 6:44
  Or having food on a plate but then having to separate the food
• 6:48
  out so the food, the other foods don't touch each other because
• 6:50
  that again could be a sensory overwhelming experience.
• 6:53
  Now all these wrapped in together 'cause a, you know,
• 6:58
  obviously distraction in the lives of people on the autism
• 7:00
  spectrum. But also is a good way of
• 7:02
  indicating if the person who have these behavioural traits is
• 7:06
  on the autism spectrum. Because these are very, very
• 7:08
  common with people on the autism spectrum.
• 7:10
  And people who have got low support needs, like people
• 7:12
  diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, will display pretty
• 7:14
  much all or most of these traits or these personality traits
• 7:17
  within their daily life and then their routines.
• 7:20
