  So in this video I'm covering 9 traits of autism that you
• 0:38
  probably haven't really realized that our part of Asperger's
• 0:41
  syndrome when you have come into contact with somebody who
• 0:44
  displays these type of behaviors.
• 0:45
  Hey guys, what's good? Welcome back to another video.
• 0:48
  I love doing these type of videos.
• 0:49
  It's really fun. Haven't done 1 like this for a
• 0:50
  while. I'm super pumped to be here
• 0:52
  today. It's awesome.
• 0:53
  It's March, I'm getting ready for all kinds of stuff.
• 0:55
  We've got autism shows coming up going to be awesome.
• 0:58
  Everything you need to know will be on the asperworld.com.
• 1:00
  If you want to know more about those shows where I'm coming up
• 1:03
  to do talks and meet and greets and stuff like that.
• 1:05
  But anyway, on with this video. Before we get started, I just
• 1:08
  want to ask you a simple question.
• 1:09
  Are you watching this video on a mobile device like a tablet or
• 1:12
  like a cell phone or something? Or are you watching this on a
• 1:14
  computer? Please pop it in a comment down
• 1:16
  below because I read and respond to every single comment.
• 1:19
  So if you do that, we'll have a conversation and it'll be
• 1:21
  awesome. Here are the 9 Asperger symptoms
• 1:24
  in adults. Here we go.
• 1:26
  OK, so number one really, really important is eye contact.
• 1:29
  Now people on the autism spectrum have issues with eye
• 1:33
  contact typically. Now this goes for people with
• 1:36
  Asperger's syndrome where they have a difficulty in creating
• 1:40
  eye contact and then maintaining that eye contact if they do
• 1:43
  create eye contact. This is almost like a personal
• 1:47
  space issue or a social convention issue that is never
• 1:50
  really taught to anybody that you're supposed to look someone
• 1:51
  in the eyes a certain way or look someone in the eyes,
• 1:53
  period. You know, these are things that
• 1:56
  people on the autism spectrum find difficult.
• 1:58
  And it's not something that comes naturally.
• 2:01
  You know, nobody naturally wants to just stare into somebody's
• 2:03
  eyes. It's it's alert behaviour from a
• 2:05
  social contract. So people who have Asperger's
• 2:08
  syndrome actually find this super difficult to do.
• 2:11
  I myself have vast amounts of difficulty in looking people
• 2:14
  directly in the eyes and then maintaining that eye contact.
• 2:17
  One of the things is if I know someone really, really well or
• 2:20
  if they're my family member, I can make eye contact with them,
• 2:22
  but I can't maintain it for a long period of time time.
• 2:25
  It becomes very, very awkward, almost like somebody's reaching
• 2:27
  inside my soul and touching my my brain.
• 2:30
  It's like, oh, it's really weird.
• 2:31
  I can't really describe properly how that feels.
• 2:35
  I did a video all about eye contact actually, and I'll try
• 2:38
  and leave it in a link above here if I remember, which I
• 2:40
  should do and then you guys can check that out on the card
• 2:42
  above. It's all about eye contact and
• 2:44
  autism specifically, but this is one of the main traits, one of
• 2:47
  the things that you probably notice First off the bat when
• 2:49
  somebody is talking to someone. If you are neurotypical and
• 2:52
  you're talking to somebody who is on the spectrum, then they
• 2:55
  are not making eye contact. You know, this is something
• 2:58
  very, very common between most people.
• 3:00
  But this isn't to say that every single person on the autism
• 3:03
  spectrum doesn't look people in the eyes.
• 3:05
  Actually, a lot of people do look people in the eyes and they
• 3:08
  are comfortable with that because they've been able to
• 3:10
  teach themselves this learnt behaviour, which is absolutely
• 3:12
  fine. But it's just something that is
• 3:14
  quite apparent, and I'd say it is a very, very common trait of
• 3:17
  Asperger syndrome, hey. If you are interested in having
• 3:19
  one-on-one personal coaching by me.
• 3:22
  On your autism and ADHD. Then all you need to do is go to
• 3:25
  the link in the description down below if you're watching on
• 3:28
  Instagram. You can just.
• 3:29
  Comment the word coaching and on DM it you automatically.
• 3:31
  Or you could just go to theaspworld.com forward
• 3:35
  coaching. And you can fill out the form
• 3:37
  and. We can start working together.
• 3:39
  I've got lots of requests like this.
• 3:40
  I just wanted to put it in this video.
• 3:41
  OK, guys. OK, number 2 is a type of
• 3:45
  something called stimming. Now, stimming stands for self
• 3:47
  stimulatory behavior. But typically in Asperger's
• 3:50
  syndrome, what we tend to see is people rocking backwards and
• 3:53
  forwards on the chair when they're trying to get into a
• 3:57
  movie or when they're trying to get into reading research, or
• 3:59
  when they're focusing on a movie or something like completely
• 4:03
  takes their focus. They start rocking with
• 4:06
  backwards and forwards, which is a self stimulatory behavioural
• 4:09
  type of soothing type of behaviour.
• 4:12
  And so stimming comes in many, many forms.
• 4:14
  But what's quite apparently common in Asperger's syndrome is
• 4:17
  the ability to rock. And this behaviour could be seen
• 4:21
  actually with hand flapping as well.
• 4:23
  But hand flapping is a completely interesting subject.
• 4:26
  And I just did a video on that last week.
• 4:28
  But in terms of this one, I'm talking about just rocking
• 4:30
  backwards and forwards because it's one of those ones that are
• 4:32
  kind of like, it's so slight that if you, if you just see it
• 4:35
  on its own, you don't don't really notice it.
• 4:37
  But when you see it combined with all the other ones like the
• 4:39
  eye contact and the rest that I've got here in this list, then
• 4:42
  you'll be able to begin to build a picture in your head where you
• 4:45
  think, OK, well, this person may be on the autism spectrum
• 4:48
  because they're displaying these type of behaviours.
• 4:51
  And I do it myself, you know, I rock backwards and forwards.
• 4:53
  I actually rock side to side when I'm kind of concentrating
• 4:56
  on conversations. And it's very difficult to not
• 4:58
  do that because I don't realize I'm actually doing it.
• 5:00
  One of the things about it is that it's not actively, you
• 5:06
  know, thought you don't see that actively thinking, OK, I'm going
• 5:08
  to rock back and forwards. It kind of just happens,
• 5:10
  especially when you get really into something very focused and
• 5:14
  hyper focused, which is another trait.
• 5:16
  But the rocking back and forwards, it has been seen by
• 5:19
  people like Bill Gates as well, who are suspected on the
• 5:22
  spectrum and people like Nikola Tesla who are also rumored to be
• 5:25
  on the spectrum. So it's very, very common in
• 5:27
  Asperger syndrome and I have personal experience with this
• 5:30
  still check it out. Eye contact and rocking.
• 5:33
  Very, very common, very, very easy to figure out if somebody
• 5:36
  could potentially be on the spectrum.
• 5:38
  OK, so #3 is obsessive interest. Now, this is a good one because
• 5:42
  I love talking about my obsessive interest.
• 5:44
  But people on the autism spectrum typically have an
• 5:47
  obsessive interest that they just go full pelt with and that
• 5:51
  they just get so indulged with. They love it.
• 5:53
  They'll get everything there is to know about it.
• 5:55
  One of my specific interests is Fight Club.
• 5:57
  I've got Fight Club T-shirts. I've got Fight Club.
• 5:59
  The script signed by the at the cast.
• 6:01
  I've got the DVD's. I've got different variations of
• 6:03
  the DVD's. I've got the comic book series
• 6:05
  that came out for Fight Club 2. I'll get everything you think
• 6:07
  of. I know all the trivia about it
• 6:08
  and I love it. I think it's fantastic and I can
• 6:10
  talk to you for hours about Fight Club, but that's me and my
• 6:13
  specific interest. I also have a bunch of different
• 6:15
  ones, but people on the autism spectrum tend to have specific
• 6:18
  interests. Sometimes they'll jump from one
• 6:20
  specific interest to another specific interest, which can
• 6:23
  happen, but a lot of the time they will have one that really
• 6:26
  shines through and that one for me, the one that really shines
• 6:28
  through for me all the time is alien conspiracies.
• 6:31
  Like I just told you, I spoke a lot about Fight Club.
• 6:33
  Nothing comes close to my alien conspiracies and I just love all
• 6:36
  that kind of stuff. So that is my specific interest.
• 6:39
  Now you may find someone on the spectrum will have their bedroom
• 6:42
  or their office or whatever decked out with everything that
• 6:44
  they absolutely love about that subject.
• 6:46
  And they could talk to you about it for hours.
• 6:48
  And they pretty much probably spend all of their time, their
• 6:50
  spare time researching that specific topic that they love.
• 6:54
  And I guess there's nothing wrong with that.
• 6:55
  And you know, The funny thing about obsessive interest is I
• 6:58
  actually designed a course that shows people how to turn
• 7:02
  obsessive interests into a career, which is exactly what I
• 7:05
  did because I love YouTube and I find it fascinating and I turn
• 7:07
  into my career. So I always think that there's
• 7:09
  potential there for someone to just do more with obsessive
• 7:12
  interest rather than just collect memorabilia.
• 7:14
  Actually, if you want access to that course, I have it on my
• 7:17
  Patreon page and you can subscribe down below.
• 7:20
  So check out patreonpatreon.com/the ASP World
• 7:24
  and you'll get access. There's actually a bunch of
• 7:25
  other courses on there as well, but specifically how to turn
• 7:27
  obsessive interests into a career, which I know a lot of
• 7:29
  people struggle with, is on my Patreon page.
• 7:32
  So yeah, definitely check that out.
• 7:33
  So obsessive interests, something that greatly
• 7:36
  associated with autism and someone who could talk for hours
• 7:40
  about their obsessive interest, just talk and talk and talk and
• 7:42
  talk. And then you thinking, my
• 7:44
  goodness, is this person ever going to stop talking?
• 7:45
  And no, they will talk for hours and hours about their obsessive
• 7:48
  interest because they love it. And that's a good thing.
• 7:50
  And I love it and I salute it. Awesome.
• 7:52
  You're awesome. You're awesome.
• 7:53
  If you're artistic and you're watching this, you're awesome.
• 7:55
  OK #4 is a very, very interesting one.
• 7:58
  This one is the love of routines.
• 8:01
  Now, people on the autism spectrum love order and routine.
• 8:04
  They love having stuff that they know they're going to do in a
• 8:07
  certain fashion, in a certain order because they're used to
• 8:09
  it. It's comfortable, it's relaxing.
• 8:11
  It's, it's, it's homely, it's feeling relaxed.
• 8:13
  And and you get it, you know, you get that.
• 8:15
  Yeah. It's an awesome feeling.
• 8:16
  So people on the autism spectrum typically have a love for
• 8:19
  routines. They'll get up every day the
• 8:21
  same way, you know, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll do
• 8:23
  their bathroom routine in the same way they'll do their
• 8:25
  morning routine like, and their breakfast ready, OK, and their
• 8:27
  clothes on in a certain fashion. And they'll come down and do
• 8:28
  that. And they love that pattern of
• 8:30
  routine because patterns are comfortable, because patterns
• 8:33
  relate to the problem solving ability of mathematics.
• 8:36
  Because when you can look at a perfect pattern, it's like
• 8:38
  you've solved a perfect solution to a problem.
• 8:41
  And that pattern and that maths, it's kind of very, very calming
• 8:46
  and soothing for someone on the spectrum.
• 8:47
  And I love my routines. I'm actually going to do a video
• 8:50
  on my morning routine. I did a video, It's all about my
• 8:52
  like my daily routine, and that was super fun to film because I
• 8:54
  got to show people an insight like how I do my daily routines
• 8:57
  and stuff. And in terms of how I do my
• 9:01
  morning routine, I'm going to do a video on that next week.
• 9:03
  But I really love my routines and I follow my routines and my
• 9:07
  structure. And the problem with it is that
• 9:09
  if it goes out of whack, then you have the potential for
• 9:12
  meltdowns. And that's not good.
• 9:14
  You know, I'm going to be doing a video on about all about
• 9:16
  meltdowns very, very soon. But in terms of, you know,
• 9:18
  swaying from your routine, you could see someone on the
• 9:21
  spectrum who would have an awesome routine, but then they'd
• 9:24
  sway from that because of a bump in the road.
• 9:27
  And they become very agitated, upset, anxious and worried about
• 9:30
  the situation because they're no longer following their path of
• 9:32
  routine. And that's not a good thing.
• 9:34
  It's difficult for them to deal with.
• 9:35
  So this is something to really think about.
• 9:37
  When someone's on the spectrum, their love of routines is
• 9:40
  something that's quite paramount.
• 9:41
  And you'll know they'll love it. They may even wear the same,
• 9:43
  same clothes. I wear the same clothes all the
• 9:44
  time. Well, not the same set of
• 9:45
  clothes. I have like loads of versions of
• 9:47
  the same clothes and I wear the same ones because I love those
• 9:50
  and it's very minimal and, and it makes me calm and soothed.
• 9:52
  I actually had to get rid of a bunch of T-shirts I had because
• 9:54
  I had like logos on the front of them and they were quite wild
• 9:56
  logos and they were making me really hyperactive and I
• 9:58
  couldn't concentrate. So I had to get rid of those.
• 10:00
  And that's why I wear quite plain clothes and I love plain
• 10:02
  clothes. So that's awesome.
• 10:03
  OK, here we go #5-A lack of social understanding.
• 10:08
  Now, people with Asperger syndrome typically have a lack
• 10:11
  of social convention understanding where you know
• 10:14
  you're in a group of people and it's how you know how close to
• 10:18
  stand to another person, how to understand body language with
• 10:21
  like gestures and hand gestures and things like that, and facial
• 10:24
  expressions and how people say things sarcastically or
• 10:28
  jokingly. And the person with an autumn
• 10:30
  inspection condition like Asperger's syndrome may not know
• 10:33
  if the person's joking or not. They'll take them at face value
• 10:35
  because it's hard to read between the lines of social
• 10:38
  conventions and social understanding because these are
• 10:41
  unwritten rules that we all like.
• 10:43
  Grow up learning, being around social environments.
• 10:46
  If your brain is wide neurotypically, but for people
• 10:48
  who are autistic, it's very difficult to grasp those
• 10:52
  concepts as you're developing as a teenager because you're
• 10:54
  focusing on all the other stuff that's super difficult, like
• 10:56
  dealing with all the sensory issues and everything else
• 10:57
  that's going on around you in your life, you know, difficult.
• 10:59
  So actually having a social understanding of social
• 11:03
  conventions in social situations is super difficult and can
• 11:07
  actually cause a lot of stress and upset.
• 11:10
  Because sometimes, you know, I've been in like a store
• 11:13
  supermarket and I'm talking to a guy and then, you know, the
• 11:16
  cashier and then he tries to make a joke and I think he's
• 11:17
  been really weird and then he thinks he's trying to be funny
• 11:19
  and then we fall out. You know, it's not a good thing.
• 11:22
  But in terms of social understanding, it's noticing
• 11:25
  when someone doesn't really know how to be in a social situation.
• 11:29
  Like it's difficult to make small talk.
• 11:31
  You know, people talk about the weather and all this kind of
• 11:33
  rubbish and they think it will, how do they know what to talk
• 11:35
  about when they're around other people?
• 11:36
  This is very difficult for someone on the autism spectrum
• 11:38
  and can be very confusing for them as well.
• 11:40
  So I feel like having, you know, understanding that someone would
• 11:45
  have difficulties with social situations is a good indicator
• 11:48
  that they may be on the autism spectrum.
• 11:50
  OK, Be it that someone could have social issues and not be on
• 11:52
  the autism spectrum. But typically if you're looking
• 11:55
  at this observationally and you're seeing like all these
• 11:57
  patterns, if you're, if it's your kid or your brother or your
• 11:59
  boyfriend or whatever, or your partner, you know, whatever it
• 12:02
  is, right? You might be able to line these
• 12:05
  up and go, oh, OK, I figure out what's going on here.
• 12:08
  So that that's why I want to put that one in there about the lack
• 12:10
  of social understanding because I think it's very important.
• 12:12
  And it's a big one because it, it falls under the triad of
• 12:15
  impairment as well, which is like the classic three ways of
• 12:18
  knowing if someone's on the spectrum when they go diagnosed
• 12:21
  and they have this like typical kind of pointers that they hit.
• 12:24
  So that's that. OK guys, this is super
• 12:26
  important. If you think this video is
• 12:27
  valuable and it can help other people, please share this video
• 12:31
  link on your Facebook and Twitter pages because the more
• 12:34
  people we can reach with this video and help, the better they
• 12:38
  have at achieving their goals as an autistic person.
• 12:41
  So please do that. Sharing is caring and I'd love
• 12:43
  to share. So please go share it on
• 12:45
  Facebook and Twitter right now and then watch the rest of the
• 12:47
  video. Oh man, we're getting through
• 12:49
  these. We're shooting through them.
• 12:50
  Woo. Ah, got to hydrate myself doing
• 12:53
  these videos. Gotta stay hydrated, yo.
• 12:55
  OK, number six is an interesting one.
• 12:57
  This is voice volume. Now, people on the autism
• 13:01
  spectrum typically don't have control over the volume of their
• 13:05
  voice. I've been practicing this for
• 13:06
  ages and they still don't have control over the volume of my
• 13:09
  voice. My girlfriend always says that
• 13:10
  I'm shouting whatever I do. She says I'm shouting.
• 13:12
  My parents used to call me the whirlwind because I've come in
• 13:14
  like 1000 miles an hour because my ADHD and I go and I'm from
• 13:17
  school, throw my bag down and like, just, you know, I start
• 13:20
  talking away about my, my subject really loud.
• 13:22
  And they'd be like damn wasteful loud.
• 13:23
  I don't feel like I'm loud, but everybody else around me says
• 13:26
  I'm really, really loud. So having a no control over your
• 13:31
  voice volume is an epic trait of Asperger's syndrome.
• 13:35
  Like typically this comes hand in hand because everybody knows
• 13:38
  someone on the autumn spectrum who has that issue of knowing if
• 13:41
  they're speaking loud or quiet. And I try my best.
• 13:43
  I really do. But still, you know, practice
• 13:45
  makes progress and I'm still trying to make sure that I
• 13:49
  figure out my voice volume and make sure that I can do all of
• 13:52
  those things like talk, you know, typically, I guess.
• 13:55
  But anyway, voice volume, very, very interesting.
• 13:58
  Definitely think about this when you're dealing with somebody
• 13:59
  that potentially is on the spectrum.
• 14:01
  OK #7 is an interesting 1, and I always have this issue, like I
• 14:05
  mentioned before on the other one, for the social conventions
• 14:08
  one, right? This is not understanding jokes.
• 14:10
  People on the autism spectrum have a huge issue with
• 14:13
  understanding jokes because typically they take the world at
• 14:16
  face value. So we're taking everything as it
• 14:18
  literally is. You know, the literal sense of
• 14:20
  everything is how the world is presented to an autistic brain.
• 14:23
  So I have real issues with this. When people who I don't know are
• 14:26
  trying to make jokes about something, I'll take it very,
• 14:29
  very seriously. And so it kind of gets me into
• 14:31
  all kinds of situations where I'm like, oh, goodness me, how
• 14:34
  did I not know this? Or how did I not figure this
• 14:36
  out? Or, you know, and they say, oh,
• 14:37
  the person was joking. And I'm like, well, I didn't
• 14:39
  know that. And everyone's like, oh, yeah,
• 14:40
  yeah, he's joking. So not understanding jokes, like
• 14:43
  sarcasm is lost on me unless, like, and this is an exception,
• 14:46
  unless you're like, my best friend or my girlfriend.
• 14:48
  And I know when you're joking about because we've done it a
• 14:50
  million times. But if I've like, you know, if
• 14:53
  we're just hanging out in a group, people and someone being
• 14:54
  sarcastic, I have no idea. Sometimes I don't even know if
• 14:57
  someones angry or sad when they're talking to me.
• 14:59
  I'm like or happy or whatever. I'm just like, what kind of tone
• 15:02
  is this in? It's really difficult to grasp
• 15:03
  that because people are so unpredictable and that
• 15:06
  unpredictability is something that we cannot grasp on the
• 15:08
  autism spectrum. And like, knowing someone
• 15:10
  intentions, like just guessing someone intentions never going
• 15:13
  to happen, I might as well say goodbye.
• 15:15
  That's never going to happen. So yeah, not understanding
• 15:18
  jokes. Very interesting.
• 15:19
  And it's very notable when you know someone who's like that.
• 15:22
  Like, okay #8 we're pacing through these, okay, right #8 is
• 15:27
  social anxiety, right? So people on the autism spectrum
• 15:31
  with Asperger syndrome have social anxiety.
• 15:33
  They suffer from social anxiety. They have issues in social
• 15:36
  situations mainly because of the fact that we just said that, you
• 15:39
  know, social conventions, jokes, things like that.
• 15:41
  These are hard concepts to grasp for some of the autism spectrum,
• 15:44
  and it can be very difficult for them to feel comfortable in that
• 15:47
  environment, in that situation at that time.
• 15:49
  So social anxiety is very much a byproduct of all the other kind
• 15:54
  of traits that are coming into play here in this, you know,
• 15:58
  condition. And so when you're thinking
• 16:00
  about it and, and you know, someone who's like got most of
• 16:03
  those and the social anxiety, then you're thinking, Oh my
• 16:05
  goodness, you know, this is, This is why.
• 16:06
  And it's a shame because social anxiety actually stops me doing
• 16:09
  a load of things in my life. And I wish that I could just get
• 16:12
  rid of it, but there's nothing I can do about it.
• 16:14
  And it's, it makes me socially inept because I, I can't go out
• 16:19
  and do those things. I can't go out and, you know,
• 16:21
  sit in a city and have a cup of tea in the middle of a busy
• 16:23
  city. Those things can't happen.
• 16:24
  I wish they could. And it literally breaks my heart
• 16:27
  that I can't, I can't do that. So yeah, it's crazy.
• 16:30

• 17:51

• 17:59
  you can. That would help me out so much.
• 18:01
  Thank you so much. OK, so the final one, drum roll
• 18:03
  please. That's a terrible drum roll.
• 18:05
  OK, drum roll please. OK, that's terrible.
• 18:09
  The last one is the oversensitivity to things like
• 18:13
  sound, sight, food textures. Like basically people on the
• 18:18
  autism spectrum comorbidly like Co occurringly have a condition
• 18:22
  called sensory processing disorder.
• 18:24
  This basically means that they are hypersensitive or sometimes
• 18:27
  undersensitive to sight, smell, textures, all that kind of
• 18:30
  stuff. This sensitivity comes into play
• 18:33
  with all kinds of things. So like, you know, if you're
• 18:34
  eating foods and there's different like textures of foods
• 18:37
  on a plate, a person on the autism spectrum may have a
• 18:39
  difficulty having all of those on the plate at the same time.
• 18:42
  So they might want like their, you know, their greens in one
• 18:44
  bowl, they might want their calves in another bowl and they
• 18:46
  might want gravy in another bowl.
• 18:47
  And they can kind of like just eat it, you know, Willy nilly or
• 18:50
  just one-on-one. There's all different types
• 18:52
  because it's always, you know, to the person, the sensitivity
• 18:55
  to the personal identification of that person and what they
• 18:57
  identify with in terms of like they like this type of food,
• 19:01
  this type of food, whatever. So in terms of that, food checks
• 19:04
  are a big one for me. Light and sounds are a big one
• 19:06
  as well because like we're oversensitive to light so we can
• 19:09
  see light brighter and like they flicker and stuff like that.
• 19:12
  And so there are a bunch of different kind of like over and
• 19:16
  under sensitive traits that go with autism because it always Co
• 19:21
  occurs with autism. It's pretty much everybody with
• 19:24
  autism has a sensory processing disorder, whether they, you
• 19:27
  know, if it's the type of clothes that they wear, it could
• 19:28
  be just feeling like the seam on clothes, like socks or like your
• 19:32
  T-shirts and stuff. This is very, very interesting.
• 19:35
  And there's actually a way you can get around kind of like
• 19:38
  treating essentially processing disorder as well, which I did a
• 19:41
  video all about like essentially processing disorder hacks and
• 19:44
  stuff, which is really cool. And I'll try and leave that in
• 19:46
  the link above here as well. And I know I'm overloading you
• 19:47
  guys all the deals, but I'm just trying to give you guys as much
• 19:49
  content as possible, so please check them out.
• 19:52
  I'll leave anything that I'm talking about video wise in the
• 19:55
  description below. And there's also a bunch of like
• 19:57
  autism must haves there as well. So if you wanted to check out
• 20:00
  those things like chewy, chewy toys or whatever, then yeah,
• 20:03
  check them out. It'll be super, super awesome.
• 20:05
  But over sensitive and under sensitive to things.
• 20:07
  Super interesting. Very, very common in the autism
• 20:10
  spectrum. And you'll probably know an
• 20:12
  autistic person who has pretty much all these things I'm
• 20:14
  talking about in this video here.
