  You have arrived. Welcome to the Aspy world.
• 0:04
  Here's where we talk about anything and everything ASD in
• 0:07
  an upbeat and informative way. And now here's your man on the
• 0:11
  spectrum, your autism ambassador, Daniel Morgan Jones.
• 0:19
  The next one is fast talking. This is so interesting.
• 0:23
  So you'd think that people with, you know, a developmental
• 0:27
  condition like autism who have issues with social communication
• 0:31
  and communication as a whole would have issues with the speed
• 0:36
  in which they talk. And you probably more likely
• 0:38
  think that they would slow down their speech so they could
• 0:39
  really understand what they were saying.
• 0:41
  This is quite On the contrary. Most autistic individuals, not
• 0:44
  every single one, but most will talk really fast.
• 0:47
  You guys always say it about my videos like dad, slow down,
• 0:51
  you're talking too fast. And I'm like, guys, I may be
• 0:53
  talking too fast and I'm sorry. Love each and everyone of you.
• 0:56
  By the way, guys, these are blue light glasses.
• 0:58
  I'm trying them out and I just thought I'd show you because
• 1:00
  like, do they work? Do they look good?
• 1:02
  If they look good, give this video a thumbs up.
• 1:04
  If they look bad, give me a comment saying Dan, don't wear
• 1:07
  those glasses. So talking fast is probably one
• 1:11
  of my big downfalls. If you are a personal Neilson
• 1:14
  inspector, when you don't talk fast, I want to know because
• 1:17
  this is really interesting. Most autistic individuals I know
• 1:20
  talk really fast. I also have ADHD, so it kind of
• 1:22
  crosses over and I get like super fast, especially when I'm
• 1:24
  talking about something I'm very excited about.
• 1:26
  I'll be like, it happened and it kind of gets a bit crazy, but
• 1:29
  crazy in a good way, right? We're all a bit crazy, but crazy
• 1:32
  in a good way, right? Unusual speech patterns.
• 1:35
  Autistic individuals will have extremely unusual speech
• 1:38
  patterns, and this happens because the way in which we
• 1:42
  learn our vocabulary or lexicon is dependent on how we've been
• 1:46
  exposed to things. So I was exposed to a lot of
• 1:48
  American television. I'm from the Uki was born in the
• 1:51
  UK and raised between near London and Wales, and so I have
• 1:56
  a unusual accent. It's transatlantic because I
• 1:59
  learnt to speak by watching American cartoons, Nickelodeon,
• 2:02
  Cartoon Network. These things were my jam, right?
• 2:03
  Like, are you afraid of the darker and stimpy all these
• 2:05
  things growing up with my jam. So I grew up learning to speak
• 2:09
  with those accents, right? However, my my lexicon, like the
• 2:12
  the the words I choose to speak sometimes are quite interesting.
• 2:15
  Like my girlfriend always says to me that you use very big
• 2:19
  words and she's also autistic but she is second language
• 2:23
  English so it's interesting. So she sees me using quite big
• 2:26
  words to describe things. When there's.
• 2:29
  Really no need for such big words.
• 2:31
  But yeah. And usual speech patterns are
• 2:32
  very, very interesting. OK #4 is literal understanding
• 2:36
  of spoken words. So if somebody says something to
• 2:38
  an autistic person, hey. And this is a real life example.
• 2:41
  I remember once I was drinking tea in a canteen when I was on a
• 2:45
  course in college and one of the other women, of course, Hannah
• 2:48
  was like, hey, Dunham, do me a favour.
• 2:50
  Are you going to take your cup out into the kitchen?
• 2:52
  I said, yeah. She said, well, and she was
• 2:53
  eating a banana. She put the banana peel in the
• 2:54
  cup. She goes, oh, can you take this
• 2:55
  out and put that in the bin for me?
• 2:57
  I was like, all right, So I threw the cup in the banana in
• 3:00
  the bin and then put my cup in the sink.
• 3:02
  I came back and she's like, where's my cup?
• 3:03
  I was like, both threw it in the bin.
• 3:05
  She said, well, obviously don't throw the cup in the bin.
• 3:07
  I meant the banana peel, put the cup in the sink.
• 3:09
  I was like, oh, not so taking things very literally because we
• 3:13
  see things as they are like the face value is is a term like,
• 3:17
  OK, well, this is how it is. It must be like that.
• 3:19
  That's kind of fascinating. It's so interesting.
