  Gotta stick. Hey guys.
• 0:08
  Welcome back to the astral world.
• 0:09
  My name is done. I have autism and I make weekly

• 0:22
  Okay guys, so if I had a pound for every time, somebody said to
• 0:26
  me, you don't look artistic, I would be a bazillionaire 3
• 0:30
  million times over it, like it. Okay.
• 0:34
  So let's start the beginning. I wanted to do this video
• 0:36
  because it's almost like a glamour.
• 0:37
  Look at me venting at the internet about something that
• 0:40
  really, really annoys me. Now, people will say the
• 0:43
  stupidest stuff to autistic individuals, like, hey, guess
• 0:47
  who old have autism, or like, you don't look artistic off.
• 0:51
  You couldn't tell. I mean, goodness, me.
• 0:53
  What, what, what even does that mean?
• 0:55
  Because, like, autism doesn't have a look.
• 0:57
  Okay, I'm sorry, but it doesn't have a look, okay, that there's
• 1:00
  no look of autism, okay? So it's just rude but the answer
• 1:07
  to Why these people say these things lies in the education
• 1:10
  part of society. So as people grow in a society
• 1:14
  and more and more people are diagnosed with autism because we
• 1:16
  have Better Health Care Systems, we have better diagnostic
• 1:19
  criteria, we have more people learning about it.
• 1:21
  The problem we've got is the education side, don't really
• 1:24
  educate people in the ins and outs of what is and what isn't
• 1:27
  conditions? You know that nobody tells you
• 1:29
  hey this is how people on the autism spectrum are apart from
• 1:31
  people like me on the internet, doing this these videos, but in
• 1:35
  terms of people's down, I'm right ignorance to just not go
• 1:39
  and learn it or maybe they don't even have time to learn about it
• 1:42
  because they think that would be told something if it was
• 1:45
  important, right? Because we're presented it with
• 1:48
  things, like, a Hollywood that shows movies like rain, man, and
• 1:52
  and other artistic characters in films, which are not going to
• 1:54
  mention, but they represent only like one type of tray or the up.
• 1:57
  Represent only one type of like minority of people on the autism
• 2:00
  spectrum, like a nonverbal person who also has learning
• 2:03
  difficulties or severe intellectual disabilities, you
• 2:05
  know? And that's not all awesome.
• 2:07
  It's you know, some people understand Spectrum, I like
• 2:10
  that. It's called a spectrum for a
• 2:12
  reason. Now, how are we going to to
• 2:16
  overcome this issue? You don't look artistic well?
• 2:20
  Okay, thanks. But you know, you don't look
• 2:22
  ignorant but you still are and it's kind of like, it's probably
• 2:26
  like one of my pet peeves because what happens and I did a
• 2:28
  video all about this imposter syndrome right now.
• 2:31
  I'll leave a link for that in the description of this video.
• 2:34
  But I did a video on impostor syndrome and how like When
• 2:38
  somebody says you don't look artistic or you're not, you're
• 2:41
  not autistic enough in their eyes to have the diagnosis of
• 2:43
  autism. You don't start feeling like or,
• 2:46
  you know, you start feeling like guilty for having a condition
• 2:49
  that somebody else has a worse form of this condition, you
• 2:53
  know, like somebody else struggles in a different way
• 2:55
  because our nonverbal or the, you know, they have more
• 2:58
  intellectual disability. And you think like, oh goodness,
• 3:00
  you know, like and that they shouldn't be like that, you
• 3:03
  know, autism is a spectrum and everybody has their their
• 3:06
  abilities to you. However, know, has different
• 3:08
  support needs and that's how it is.
• 3:10
  It's a spectrum of support needs and we should never be like told
• 3:13
  you know, by somebody who is completely uneducated and not
• 3:16
  even you know, a scholar in the field of sychar a psychiatric
• 3:20
  kind of neurological conditions that you don't look artistic in
• 3:23
  their eyes. Well, that's great, their
• 3:25
  opinion does not matter and I think a lot of autistic people
• 3:28
  need to realize that the opinions of those people does
• 3:31
  not matter. What matters is how you then
• 3:35
  deal with the education? Of it.
• 3:37
  Now, we could all take massive offense to it, like I do and I
• 3:41
  take offense to it and I got all my goodness.
• 3:42
  But then I think, okay, this person is obviously ignorant or
• 3:45
  on an educated and so both of those, the solution is
• 3:50
  education. So I then take my time to say,
• 3:52
  well now, you know what? Asthma Spectrum, it doesn't have
• 3:54
  a specific look, what do you think?
• 3:56
  Autism is, how have you seen autism before?
• 3:58
  And they'll probably spot off something about Hollywood, but
• 4:00
  it seems autistic person in Hollywood or blah, blah, blah.
• 4:03
  And this is the key then, open that dialogue.
• 4:07
  And then you have time to educate them, check out our blog
• 4:09
  or a newspaper and use that skill or magazine or podcast or
• 4:13
  a video or whatever that you can refer to like the national
• 4:16
  autistic Society website. That has good data from autistic
• 4:20
  people that they could learn about it.
• 4:21
  And I think that is the way to challenge and combat this whole,
• 4:24
  you don't look artistic nonsense.
• 4:26
  It it's probably the most frustrating thing that I see all
• 4:31
  the time. And everybody, who look, if you
• 4:33
  agree, what I'm saying in this video, please give it a thumbs
• 4:35
  up. It would really apply.
• 4:36
  Really appreciate to know what Your values on it, or if you
• 4:39
  have anything else to add, pop it in a comment, I read every
• 4:41
  single one. But in terms of, you know, how
• 4:45
  to solve this issue, I think we just have to re-educate people.
• 4:48
  We need to actually get information out there and what
• 4:50
  we're doing. You know, we're building this
• 4:51
  YouTube and Facebook are me. Like I'm doing right now to help
• 4:54
  go out there and spread the word and be the change of positivity
• 4:57
  in the world and I love that. Right.
• 4:58
  And what would make composite change or making leaps and
• 5:01
  strides in this? But in terms of, you know, how
• 5:05
  are we going to do it? This is how Do you know, we just
• 5:08
  we just need to enter into those conversations even though it may
• 5:12
  be upsetting for his at that time.
• 5:13
  And if you have the ability to enter into a conversation and do
• 5:17
  it because you are helping many autistic, people actually going
• 5:20
  to be running, kind of more poles and stuff.
• 5:22

• 5:24
