• 0:50
  let's go with the video guys. So nice to be back doing videos.
• 0:53
  On Cool. Stuff.
• 0:54
  And one of the most interesting things I think about autism is
• 0:57
  that it does have Co occurring or Co morbid condition which is
• 1:01
  basically conditions that come alongside autism.
• 1:04
  So some of these you know like OCD and stuff like that, you
• 1:08
  know they they they are Co occurring.
• 1:11
  With autism. So when I have my autism
• 1:13
  diagnosis, there was also a bunch of other things that came
• 1:15
  with it. I had my dyslexia.
• 1:16
  Diagnosis first, then autism, ADHD and OCD at the.
• 1:18
  Same time. And then I've got sensory
• 1:21
  processing disorder as well, which came a little time after
• 1:23
  that, but it's. Still kind.
• 1:24
  Of. Part and.
• 1:24
  Parcel with autism, right? So I wanted to list out five of
• 1:28
  the most common ones, because I think.
• 1:29
  It's very valuable to know that, hey, you know the condition that
• 1:32
  you may be undergoing right now. Is just part of the fact that
• 1:36
  it's autism, You know, like because a lot of people think,
• 1:39
  well, I've got dyslexia, but I've also autism is.
• 1:42
  There a link, blah blah blah. And yeah, there is a link.
• 1:44
  And yes, you know there will be a reason for that.
• 1:47
  And so I have. Basically, listen about five of
• 1:50
  the most common ones I'm going. To go through right now.
• 1:52
  So the first one is. ADHD, right?
• 1:54
  Notably the most common and popular known ADHD.
• 1:58
  Is probably. The number one issue that is.
• 1:59
  Diagnosed alongside autism. I would say so, right?
• 2:03
  Most of my friends I know who are on the autism spectrum.
• 2:05
  They also have ADHD. Diagnosis.
• 2:08
  It's only a rare handful of them.
• 2:09
  That. Don't have the ADHD diagnosis as
• 2:11
  well, which is? Really interesting and I'm not
• 2:13
  sure why it kind of comes. Really.
• 2:15
  Naturally. Occurring with autism.
• 2:16
  Most of. The time, but it's just.
• 2:18
  Absolutely fascinating, and it fascinates.
• 2:20
  The heck out of me. So yeah, that was #1.
• 2:22
  OK, so #2 is IBS. Now.
• 2:25
  IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome versus Gastrointestinal
• 2:28
  Issue or. Typically a GI issue.
• 2:31
  Now almost everybody on the. Spectrum had some sort of GI
• 2:34
  issue like like IBS or any. Other gut related problems and
• 2:38
  it's an unusual phenomenon, but it's very commonly associated
• 2:41
  with autism. I don't know why this is a
• 2:43
  phenomenon about it. It's so bizarre, right?
• 2:46
  But it is a matter of fact and. IBS is.
• 2:48
  Probably the most common one from the GI disorders, and there
• 2:51
  are a bunch of other ones you can get, but you know,
• 2:53
  obviously. Typically having IPS is what's.
• 2:55
  Commonly Co occurring. With autism.
• 2:58
  OK, so #3 is dyslexia. Now autism.
• 3:02
  Is a learning difficulty right? Because it's a communication
• 3:04
  based. Disorder.
• 3:05
  So having a learning difficulty, it usually comes with other
• 3:09
  learning difficulties, and the most common one is dyslexia.
• 3:13
  Dyslexia. Actually, there's a lot of
• 3:16
  different ones people kind of get confused between.
• 3:17
  Dyslexia dyscalculus. And all.
• 3:20
  That kind of stuff and I'll be doing.
• 3:21
  A video on the difference between those, but in terms of
• 3:23
  dyslexia, it's more to the reading and writing Again, being
• 3:26
  a learning disability, this comes.
• 3:28
  Like so. Commonly Co occurring and.
• 3:31
  In existing. With autism and I would say
• 3:33
  pretty. Much everybody on the autism
• 3:34
  spectrum has dyslexia I. You know the.
• 3:38
  People I know I can't speak. For everybody in the.
• 3:40
  World but. I would say that some form of
• 3:42
  dyslexia does. Occur.
• 3:43
  Within people on the. Autism spectrum.
• 3:45
  Now #4 is sensory. Processing disorder.
• 3:48
  Now shorten to SPD is basically pretty much.
• 3:52
  Every autistic. Person probably has it.
• 3:56
  It can't be diagnosed without being.
• 3:58
  On the autism spectrum. So how can I explain?
• 4:01
  Sensory pressing disorder cannot be.
• 4:03
  Independently diagnosed, but autism can be independently
• 4:06
  diagnosed of. Sensory process and disorder,
• 4:09
  but usually when you get diagnosed autism one of the
• 4:11
  causing factors of the diagnosis.
• 4:13
  Is SPD so SPD? It means that basically you have
• 4:17
  issues with sensory issues like touch and taste and sound and
• 4:20
  smell and sight and light and all this kind of stuff.
• 4:23
  And it's fascinating, but it impacts the lives of.
• 4:25
  People on the. Autism spectrum, quite
• 4:27
  chronically in certain events and stuff.
• 4:29
  Like that. I mean.
• 4:30
  Me to myself, I mean it's. Caused so much havoc for me
• 4:33
  having food when I was younger and now more than ever it causes
• 4:36
  me issues. Well, like I'm trying to go to
• 4:38
  the store, but the store smells a certain way and I can't go in
• 4:40
  there or I hear. Words, and those words
• 4:42
  physically hurt. And so I think that's something,
• 4:45
  you know, a lot of people don't talk.
• 4:46
  About and I find it just super, super fascinating.
• 4:49
  OK. So #5 on my list here now is
• 4:51
  fibromyalgia. Now this condition is kind of
• 4:55
  like a, it's kind of like an arthritis type of deal.
• 4:59
  It's it's relatively new. There's a body of research
• 5:04
  that's talking about it. It's so it's completely kind of
• 5:06
  like something that is is more and more kind of research every
• 5:10
  day. And there's new stuff coming up
• 5:12
  on it all the time. But in terms of fibromyalgia?
• 5:16
  It is mostly common in females more than it is males, right?
• 5:20
  But it's it's it's hugely Co diagnosed with autism because of
• 5:24
  the fact that it has a it just has a relationship with females.
• 5:29
  On the autism spectrum. Usually will have.
• 5:31
  A diagnosis of fibromyalgia. That comes.
• 5:34
  Co occurring. With autism.
• 5:35
  Absolutely fascinating. It fascinates the heck out of me
• 5:37
  and I have no idea why, but they just.
• 5:39
  Do. It's just something that is a
• 5:40
  matter of fact. Now if you have anything to add
• 5:42
  to this list, if you want to add to this list.
• 5:44
