• 0:03

• 0:39

• 0:50
  Yeah, you won't regret it. OK, guys.
• 0:52
  So I wanted to do this video talking about it because so a
• 0:54
  lot of people think that people on the autism spectrum all think
• 0:57
  the same because the condition is the same, you know?
• 0:59
  But it's not like that. OK, for a start, let's just dial
• 1:02
  it back. It's called an autism spectrum
• 1:04
  disorder, and the word spectrum means that it comes from one end
• 1:06
  to another end, and it has a full spectrum of different
• 1:09
  people in between. There's this old saying that
• 1:10
  says that if you met one autistic person, then you've
• 1:13
  only ever met one autistic person because every individual
• 1:16
  autistic person is individual of each other and have different
• 1:20
  individual kind of personalities, traits, thoughts
• 1:22
  and processes and all that. So that kind of wraps that
• 1:24
  question up in a in a nutshell. But what does this mean?
• 1:26
  It basically means that some people have higher support needs
• 1:29
  than other people have lower support needs.
• 1:31
  And that means that we think differently because we're all
• 1:33
  going to think differently. Just because you are neuro
• 1:35
  divergent and your brain operates a little bit
• 1:37
  differently, it doesn't mean you think the same.
• 1:39
  So we may operate, you know, autism autistic operate the same
• 1:43
  because of the way that their brain is wired, but their
• 1:46
  thoughts are independent to them.
• 1:48
  How they think is all independent, you know, we all
• 1:51
  think differently. That's what we're doing.
• 1:53
  This is exactly my slogan. We're thinking differently
• 1:55
  daily. Everybody here is thinking
• 1:56
  differently. But that was a study done to see
• 1:59
  if autistic people's choices were made the same.
• 2:03
  Like do they think the same with their choices made the same.
• 2:05
  So it was a study done and it studied that the brain activity
• 2:09
  in people on every kind of area of the spectrum to see what kind
• 2:14
  of brain activity they had. Now the people on different
• 2:17
  areas of the spectrum had different brain activity when
• 2:21
  they were making decisions and choices, which means that some
• 2:23
  people making decisions on choices of logics and others
• 2:26
  were making off personal choices.
• 2:27
  But most of the time, the autistic people were actually
• 2:33
  making independent choices from just thinking about their
• 2:36
  personal experiences. So it was nothing to do with the
• 2:39
  way that their brain worked. It was to do with how they live
• 2:41
  their life and what their morals and kind of personality were,
• 2:44
  which absolutely fascinates me. It fascinates me so much that I
• 2:47
  wanted to do this video talking about it because it's such an
• 2:49
  interesting discussion. Have you heard this before?
• 2:51
  Have you heard that people think that autistic people think the
• 2:53
  same and it's just interesting. It's kind of like saying, well,
• 2:56
  you know, do do, I don't know, do all British people think the
• 2:59
  same? Well, no.
• 3:01
  You know, just because of British, we're all going to
• 3:03
  think the same. And you know, awesome is a
• 3:05
  neurological condition, but neurological conditions don't
• 3:08
  impact your ability to think a certain thought, to make you
• 3:11
  think the same thoughts, which is quite an interesting kind of
• 3:13
  bizarre concept that people may have dreamt up for some bizarre
• 3:17
  reason. But I just thought, it's a
• 3:18
  really fun video to me because like, you know, it's it's such a
• 3:21
  weird one. I just, I don't know, I just
• 3:23
  think it's really funny. And to answer the question, do
• 3:25
  also see people think the same? No they do not.
• 3:27
  They're all independent and we're all different thinkers, so
• 3:31
  definitely give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
• 3:34
  But if you think it's fun, please share it on Facebook,
• 3:36
  Twitter and Instagram. And guys, I'll see you next
• 3:38
  time. Peace.
