  What is going on different thinkers?
• 0:35
  Welcome back to the after all we think differently daily it's an
• 0:38
  interesting one. Right?
• 0:39
  I call this video high functioning autism But high
• 0:42
  functioning autism isn't the term that exists.
• 0:44
  It's kind of a not a term that use anymore.
• 0:46
  I was actually taken away because of all this kind of
• 0:48
  weird stuff that happened between like nomenclature and
• 0:50
  trying to get support and it was just a bit weird and using
• 0:52
  function and labels didn't really help anybody.
• 0:54
  So they got rid of all that and then they called it Autism
• 0:56
  Spectrum Disorder. So in this video, what I'm
• 0:58
  talking about is people on the autism spectrum, lower support
• 1:01
  needs than people on the autism spectrum with high support
• 1:03
  needs. And therefore, let's get into
• 1:06
  what's going on. If you want to download my free
• 1:08
  PDF book on hacks for autism daily living, there will be a
• 1:11
  link in it. Are both here and in description
• 1:13
  below and on the end slate. So you can download my free PDF
• 1:15
  book, if you've already got it. Then that's awesome.
• 1:17
  I love you. Thank you so much for done with
• 1:18
  book for free. You guys are awesome.
• 1:20
  Okay, so I wrote down a list of the traits of people who are on
• 1:24
  the autism spectrum with low support needs, so that you would
• 1:26
  kind of be able to identify them, because sometimes it can
• 1:28
  be a bit tricky. When people aren't typically,
• 1:30
  displaying things that are noted with kind of like the classic
• 1:34
  idea of autism. So let's go through them right
• 1:37
  now. Okay, number one is the love of
• 1:39
  routines like autistic people love.
• 1:41
  Teens. They love to stick to daily
• 1:43
  routines. They'll have to stick to doing
• 1:45
  the same thing every single day they could do probably have the
• 1:48
  the same thing for, you know, for breakfast every single day.
• 1:51
  It'll come down and I'll sit in the same spot, all watch the
• 1:54
  same thing and the TV I will be the same magazine.
• 1:56
  Let me sit in the same chair all the time and that routine is
• 2:00
  like their wife. They love it.
• 2:01
  I Lifeline something, they hold onto some really cherish and
• 2:04
  they love, and it's part of them.
• 2:06
  That's something that we should really look out for because it's
• 2:08
  a really good indicator. So, on on the autism spectrum,
• 2:10
  because 11 route, Teen give somebody stability and so on the
• 2:14
  autism spectrum really want stability because that stability
• 2:16
  gives them that Comfort I guess and security also.
• 2:20
  Okay, so number two is special interest.
• 2:23
  Most people on the autism spectrum will have a specific
• 2:26
  special interest like almost like an obsessive interest that
• 2:29
  they really focus on and when they really focus, I mean, like
• 2:32
  they go to town on it. Like I remember a guy who I know
• 2:35
  who is on the autism spectrum and he was really interested in
• 2:37
  Marilyn Monroe. Like he knew everything about
• 2:39
  it, he read every book about Mom and Dad, Pull all the
• 2:42
  memorabilia and books and stuff and you went to visit her house.
• 2:45
  But she grew up and went to the place where she was last living
• 2:48
  and stuff in America and that some of her friends and all that
• 2:51
  kind of stuff. And it was just as if this crazy
• 2:53
  like obsessive interest with my own Monroe and I have obsessive
• 2:57
  interest to I love systems and chemistry.
• 3:01
  And yeah, I just marketing and online social media and stuff
• 3:04
  like that but like like obsessive like I mean I just I
• 3:07
  love it, I listen to it all the time.
• 3:09
  So in terms of that, especially obsessed, Set of interest and
• 3:12
  special-interest come under the umbrella of a typical trait or a
• 3:16
  personality trait of somebody in the autism spectrum.
• 3:18
  Because it's very, very interesting.
• 3:20
  It gets intense. And I can tell you now that if,
• 3:22
  you know exactly what I'm talking about, where you've got
• 3:25
  a son, or a friend or whatever, who is on the autism spectrum or
• 3:28
  you suspect that they're on the Spectrum.
• 3:29
  But they have this thing that you talked about, on, I'll talk
• 3:31
  about it non-stop, just for pal, talk to you about it until the
• 3:35
  cows come home until you're bored of probably falling
• 3:37
  asleep. And you're like, I've no
• 3:38
  interest in stickers stamps or hot.
• 3:41
  Vintage coins but they're telling you about it anyway,
• 3:44
  right? Give this video a thumbs up if
• 3:45
  you know exactly what I'm talking about.
• 3:47
  Man, I'm reaching out to you because I know it, I can see it,
• 3:49
  I can see it. I see a Betsy, I see you there.
• 3:53
  Betty, who's Betsy. Anyway, so they are third one on
• 3:56
  my list is odd food habits now. It says, if people are
• 4:00
  interested person may have an unusual eating habits.
• 4:03
  Now, they may like separating their food on their plate so
• 4:07
  that they have like, you know, chicken aside and then rice
• 4:10
  aside and then veggies, I'd with the so they're not touching or
• 4:13
  they may have like the gravy and sauces and stuff in a pot next
• 4:16
  to their dinner so they can get their stuff into it so they
• 4:17
  don't have to have it touching. This is very common because
• 4:20
  textures and stuff. Come with the sensory processing
• 4:23
  disorder which is a coma with Lee co-occurring with autism
• 4:26
  which is kind of like a bolt on diagnosis that happens with
• 4:30
  autism but it's kind of like it kind of marries up quite well.
• 4:33
  But this also leads to things like and use your eating habit
• 4:37
  where they want to separate food and I can't have this type of
• 4:38
  food or food that looks a certain color or That smells a
• 4:42
  certain way like for me specifically, I can't have raw
• 4:45
  onions or garlic. Anyone knew me and I can't be in
• 4:47
  a room where someone's cooking onions and garlic, it just makes
• 4:50
  me feel very uncomfortable and it just lots of difficult for me
• 4:53
  to be in the room and I'm getting really upset when I was
• 4:55
  doing my access to science course degree.
• 4:59
  When when we had to dissect an onion to important on microscope
• 5:02
  and look at the laser but yeah it was very difficult to deal
• 5:05
  with but that's just who we are. It's just we're all individual
• 5:08
  and we're all made just super awesome.
• 5:09
  So yeah we should power to being in Dividual man.
• 5:12
  That's awesome. Okay, so the fourth thing I want
• 5:15
  to talk about here is difficulty in conversation.
• 5:19
  Now, conversion for people in social situations, is typically
• 5:22
  something that people do without even thinking about, but people
• 5:25
  on the autism spectrum will have difficulties in social
• 5:28
  situations because autism in its core is a communicative issue.
• 5:32
  It's a communication issue where people on the autism spectrum
• 5:36
  will have difficulties socializing because socializing
• 5:40
  has Unwritten And kind of spoken about rules that we just pick up
• 5:44
  from just going to school and hanging out with friends and be
• 5:47
  with this guy and that guy and when those things kind of pick
• 5:49
  up just around you but people on the autism spectrum.
• 5:52
  Don't really pick these up because they're too busy.
• 5:54
  Trying to figure out the world around them, from heightened,
• 5:56
  senses and other things that's going on or maybe their
• 5:58
  excessive interest with coins and Marilyn Monroe, it's taking
• 6:00
  over the time where they would have been concentrating on
• 6:02
  conversational pieces, between two people and blah blah blah.
• 6:06
  So this is a very interesting Hallmark was one of the autism
• 6:10
  spectrum. May have an awkward time I'm
• 6:11
  having a social dinner or social conversation or meeting new
• 6:15
  friends. Very, very interesting.
• 6:17
  Okay, so number five, is that people on the autism spectrum.
• 6:20
  We'll have like an anxiety or overwhelmed easy parts of them,
• 6:24
  so they could be like, very they could be overwhelmed very
• 6:26
  easily, basically. And not have excessive anxiety.
• 6:29
  That can cause meltdowns and emotional outbursts, or or what
• 6:33
  people used to call kind of like nervous breakdowns or an anxiety
• 6:36
  breakdown, which is basically a meltdown in an Autism sense,
• 6:39
  which happens quite a lot. And I was Is the person on the
• 6:42
  autism spectrum? Has a difficulty in certain
• 6:45
  situations that will heighten their anxiety or heightened,
• 6:47
  their be getting triggered in this that get upset.
• 6:50
  And then they get like emotional, he's overwhelmed.
• 6:52
  All those things can cause this, this upset, and this upset can
• 6:57
  come out as like an anxiety attack or can come out as a.
• 7:02
  I don't know. It could be an automatic that
• 7:03
  could be a shutdown. Could be a could be anything
• 7:05
  right? But the fact of the Maya is that
• 7:08
  it happens and if you are, you know, you know, somebody who may
• 7:11
  be on, The autism spectrum and you see them getting overwhelmed
• 7:14
  easily or triggered easily. I have anxiety attacks, all
• 7:16
  those partial to panic attacks and they have also other stuff
• 7:19
  going on. Well, there you go.
• 7:20
  The may actually be on the autism spectrum and that's kind
• 7:23
  of like an interesting thing. And it's a cool thing because
• 7:25
  we're all individual and all different and all equal in our
• 7:27
  own way. And so that is super that is
• 7:30
  super super awesome. But that being said, guys, if
