• 0:48
  Okay guys, so you think you might have Asperger's Syndrome
• 0:50
  or you looking for somebody else in think they might have
• 0:52
  Asperger syndrome. Well, it's good job that you are
• 0:55
  here because I have a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome.
• 0:57
  And I have listed out by for the most common signs of Asperger
• 1:02
  syndrome where how you can really quickly identify if
• 1:05
  somebody is on the Spectrum are not using this kind of outline,
• 1:09
  this is an artificial test but this is a good way to Indicate
• 1:12
  to you that, okay, maybe I should go and see a specialist
• 1:14
  because my kid or myself acting this way, right?
• 1:19
  Let's get started. Actually before I forget, I do
• 1:21
  content on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter as well, so if
• 1:24
  you've got any of those platforms, I want to follow me.
• 1:27
  Go follow me right now. Also, Instagram is a good one
• 1:29
  because you've got to hit me up on the DMs. I also reply to
• 1:32
  every message on there so if you want to contact me is probably
• 1:34
  the best way to do it. Okay, let's jump straight in to
• 1:37
  my list. So number one is the love of
• 1:40
  routine. Now people with Asperger's
• 1:42
  Syndrome. Love repetitive routine, getting
• 1:44
  up the same time every day, going downstairs sitting in the
• 1:47
  same chair every day. Eating the same serial every
• 1:49
  single day and watching the same show every single morning, that
• 1:53
  is them in a nutshell. You know, they wear the same
• 1:56
  clothes every day, they're like the same food all the time.
• 1:58
  They go to the same places all the time.
• 2:01
  It's basically a all-rounder routine that is comfortable and
• 2:06
  is familiar to them because people on the autism spectrum.
• 2:09
  Don't like change in their routine.
• 2:11
  They don't Like, you know, things that they can't control
• 2:16
  like a surprises in there road. So when you have a routine,
• 2:19
  there's not going to be anything that's going to just pop out as
• 2:21
  a surprise because you already know all the stuff that's on it
• 2:24
  because you do it every single day.
• 2:25
  You do day in day out, no surprises.
• 2:27
  Super easy to deal with love it. So number two is obsessive
• 2:32
  interest. Now people with Asperger's
• 2:34
  Syndrome will have an obsessive interest.
• 2:36
  Now, an obsessive interest is basically where the person has a
• 2:39
  topic of Interest. It could be like, you know, Come
• 2:42
  on, I'll tell got cheese on Minecraft or Harry Potter or
• 2:44
  whatever and they'll learn everything there is to know
• 2:47
  about it. They'll learn everything they
• 2:48
  know they'll, they'll buy every book, every 30.
• 2:51
  Sure, they'll go to the place, where it was a creative, don't
• 2:54
  know. All the Back stories of every
• 2:55
  character know, every individual tiny little detail because
• 2:58
  there's a lot of interest is their minds way of engaging.
• 3:01
  With something that's really keeping that Focus engage in
• 3:04
  something that is is building their mind and it's just a
• 3:07
  fantastic thing to do. So you got hit that Thumbs Up
• 3:10
  Button. If you know somebody who's like
• 3:11

• 3:15

• 3:27
  I see you Mum. I see you doing this right now.
• 3:29

• 3:31
  I know exactly what I'm saying, right?
• 3:33
  Because obsessive interest a really cool, you know?
• 3:36
  And it's not a bad thing. It's a really good thing.
• 3:38
  If you treat it in a good way. Now I actually did a free
• 3:41
  webinar. Course, all about help for
• 3:43
  parents and caregivers of people on the Spectrum.
• 3:45
  Now if you want to check that out, if parents and the carriers
• 3:48
  are watching this video right now.
• 3:49
  I want to check out this free web class.
• 3:50
  I did specifically for them to help ease people's lives or
• 3:54
  Autism. There is a link in the card
• 3:56
  above, a link in the end card and in description below where
• 3:59
  you can get your hands on that course.
• 4:02
  And you can just take it. It's for free and it's awesome.
• 4:04
  So yeah, check that out. Okay, so number three is bad eye
• 4:08
  contact. No bad eye.
• 4:09
  Contact basically means what it says on the tin people who have
• 4:12
  Asperger's Syndrome have a real back difficulty making eye
• 4:15
  contact. Maintaining eye contact and
• 4:16
  keeping an eye contact with people.
• 4:18
  Not bad eye contact, could be a countering factor to the fact
• 4:21
  that people on the autism spectrum have a difficulty with
• 4:24
  social situations and all social situations may cause issues
• 4:27
  with, like, trying to look people in the eyes and keeping
• 4:29
  and maintaining eye contact with people because that's a socially
• 4:34
  understood convention. And obviously, we don't
• 4:36
  understand social conventions, and will happen if you supposed
• 4:39
  to ever understand to, you know, maintain I can't look absolutely
• 4:43
  right in the eye, is make sure that eye contact is part of a
• 4:45
  everyday conversation. It's very difficult for someone
• 4:47
  on the autism spectrum, especially people like diagnosis
• 4:51
  of Asperger syndrome to actually maintain that eye contact.
• 4:53
  Okay? Number four, there's really
• 4:54
  interesting. This one impact my life,
• 4:56
  probably more than any other, and this is following
• 4:58
  instructions and issues with following instructions.
• 5:01
  Now, people diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, like myself
• 5:04
  will have issues following instruction.
• 5:06
  Now, you might think that following instructions is really
• 5:08
  simple. You could just like tell
• 5:10
  somebody to go and do something and you say do this.
• 5:12
  This this, this and this and you go and do it.
• 5:14
  Well in actual fact is very difficult for a start.
• 5:17
  If you just give somebody instructions that are verbal
• 5:20
  instructions and their brain can't process the way that the
• 5:24
  verbal instruction, then goes into a physical command.
• 5:27
  Then they never gonna be able to do that.
• 5:28
  Now, that's exactly what happens with me and autism in general,
• 5:31
  where if you ask someone with a not inspection condition to do
• 5:34
  something specifically, in a list format or instructional
• 5:38
  fart, they may have difficulty trying to process what you're
• 5:41
  actually asking. So actually, I asked my
• 5:43
  girlfriend quite a few times. I still like talking to me
• 5:46
  again. Tell me again.
• 5:46
  What you need? And I will write it down.
• 5:48
  I'll draw a picture. Now, this is the best way to
• 5:50
  overcome this. That you can just actually draw
• 5:52
  pictures of what you want but also list format in text.
• 5:56
  Sometimes don't work either because it's it just as
• 5:58
  confusing and difficult because people on the autism spectrum or
• 6:01
  quite visual thinkers, they like to see things visually and kind
• 6:04
  of like notice that are you have that?
• 6:06
  How it is? Anyway, that is one of the most
• 6:09
  common ways that you can figure out if If you are on the autism
• 6:13
  spectrum because having that issue with the communicative
• 6:16
  part of your brain, and the social part is definitely
• 6:18
  impacting the way that you follow instructions and
• 6:21
  understand the instructions. And this also could be down to
• 6:24
  like following cooking instructions on a packet or a
• 6:26
  recipe or remedy. So this is a big one.
• 6:29
  Now, we're getting down to number five, the big old number
• 6:31
  5, but if you think that this video is helping or can help
• 6:34
  somebody else, please try and share it on Facebook, and
• 6:38
  Twitter, or Instagram, or whatever.
• 6:39
  You feel is a good place to share it because I feel like Can
• 6:42
  share and tag people in this. The more people can be helped
• 6:45
  and that would just be fantastic.
• 6:47
  So please go ahead and do it right now.
• 6:49
  And yeah, let's get on with number five.
• 6:52
  Okay. So this is an interesting one
• 6:53
  and probably the biggest one of all of them.
• 6:56
  That impact everybody on the Spectrum and pretty much the
• 6:59
  same way. And all this is issues with
• 7:00
  social communication, not social communication isn't just the
• 7:03
  fact that, you know, you go to see a friend asked earlier, they
• 7:05
  ask how you are and you shake hands, you know, that's not such
• 7:07
  as communication. That is a form of social
• 7:09
  communication. That's not all of it, you know?
• 7:11
  It's Add that we actually communicate, 70% of our lives
• 7:15
  without actually speaking. So, you know, 70% which is the
• 7:18
  outstanding majority of communications done without
• 7:21
  actually talking, which is difficult, especially people who
• 7:24
  are autistic, who actually like more verbal conversation and or
• 7:29
  maybe picture conversation. So, this is an issue.
• 7:34
  Now, the issue is basically this, when you were growing up
• 7:37
  and your understanding like different social situations and
• 7:39
  social conventions, you kind of pick up on those.
• 7:42
  Is it's just a learning process of people.
• 7:44
  Do it as they learn and express themselves if they are
• 7:47
  developing typically with neurotypical brain conditions.
• 7:50
  Now, the problem that autism and autistic people have is that
• 7:54
  when you're developing your brain is why the little bit
• 7:57
  differently. So it's having a difficult time,
• 7:59
  understanding the world around you, let alone social issues,
• 8:01
  let alone social conventions within Social Circles that
• 8:04
  you're already having difficulties with.
• 8:05
  So you may not have a chance to pick those up.
• 8:07
  I mean, some people may pick them up, I'm not so much to be
• 8:09
  able to not notice Any of them. But most people would just have
• 8:15
  a little bit that they may pick up the bigger picture like jokes
• 8:19
  and sarcasm and annoying, how far up to stand away from your
• 8:22
  friend on knowing we know when to shake someone's hand knowing
• 8:25
  the appropriate language to use in front of somebody knowing
• 8:27
  like where there's a filter where you don't say certain
• 8:29
  things and certain front of certain people.
• 8:31
  Are you don't you know you have a respect for authoritarian
• 8:34
  figures and you have certain things that you love to say to
• 8:36
  him and not, you know, this is all very confusing and it may be
• 8:39
  that it's something quite trivial.
• 8:41
  But for people in the office Actually this is very difficult.
• 8:43
  This is another way. If you talk with no filter if
• 8:46
  you're loud and people say your volume is wrong.
• 8:48
  If people see stand too close and you don't sound.
• 8:50
  Personal space is all huge, social conventions, especially
• 8:53
  hand gestures and like, you know, just small social gestures
• 8:57
  really. Those things are really
• 8:58
  difficult to pick up on especially if you're on the
• 9:00
  autism spectrum and not really, really does it suck.
