  You have arrived. Welcome to the Aspie 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
• 0:12
  spectrum, your Autism Ambassador, Daniel Morgan Jones.
• 0:20
  So this is how you know if you have ADHD and autism, I'm
• 0:23
  talking about 5 must see traits that you need to know to
• 0:25
  discover all of that right now. Coming up, guys, what's going
• 0:28
  on? My name is Dan, I have autism
• 0:29
  and ADHD and I make videos on this every single week.
• 0:32
  So if you're new around here and you want to learn more about
• 0:34
  those specific topics, make sure to hit the subscriber and book
• 0:36
  the notification bell down below and follow me on Facebook,
• 0:39
  Instagram, Tiktok and Twitter for daily videos as well because
• 0:42
  you do videos on those two which is super dope.
• 0:44
  OK, so. ADHD and autism is a comorbid
• 0:48
  conditioning where you can have a diagnosis of both of them
• 0:51
  simultaneously or independently. But a lot of the people and most
• 0:54
  of the people I'd say on the autism spectrum have a comorbid
• 0:57
  diagnosis of ADHD. Now ADHD is attached to
• 1:01
  hyperactivity disorder, but sometimes doesn't always have
• 1:04
  hyperactivity with it, but regardless of that.
• 1:08
  This video is awesome because I've got 5 traits I want to talk
• 1:10
  to you about that you can see the crossover and these things
• 1:12
  are so challenging because they impact your life in so many
• 1:16
  ways. So the first one I'm going to
• 1:17
  talk about is irritability and hyper focus.
• 1:19
  So autistic people will be able to sit down and focus on a
• 1:22
  specific task or a topic right for large amounts of times.
• 1:26
  I mean I used to sit down and and want to watch alien movies
• 1:30
  like homemade movies of Ufo's in the sky and I was really sad
• 1:33
  until like 3:00 o'clock in the morning, wake up my keyboard
• 1:35
  however the ADHD brain kicks in and.
• 1:38
  Makes you want to stand up and walk around and go downstairs
• 1:39
  and make some tea. And then you know you like,
• 1:41
  bounce up and down and maybe walk to the side of the room and
• 1:44
  pause the video and look at something else.
• 1:45
  I'll pause that video and look at something else.
• 1:47
  So it's kind of like a battle between wanting to really focus
• 1:50
  on something. I wanted to get up every 10
• 1:52
  seconds and do something else. This is so common between autism
• 1:55
  and ADHD. It's really funny because this
• 1:57
  is probably the biggest one that like, really sucks for me and it
• 1:59
  really, I think it annoys me the most.
• 2:02
  But this is what it is. We are how we are and we're all
• 2:04
  amazing. So that was #1 okay.
• 2:06
  So #2 is special interest. And rapid interest switching, Oh
• 2:10
  boy, let's get into it. So people on the opposite
• 2:12
  inspection will have a specific topic of interest that they're
• 2:15
  obsessed with and that they really kind of obsess over,
• 2:17
  right? And they love to learn about,
• 2:18
  they love to research, love to talk about And like you talk
• 2:21
  about it for hours with them. They collect all the things that
• 2:24
  in that genre of topic. But the ADHD brain will then
• 2:28
  make you want to switch your obsessive interest rapidly so
• 2:31
  you have many different special interests on the other ones and
• 2:33
  then as soon as you consume enough capital on that thing.
• 2:37
  You move to something else. This is how the idioty brain and
• 2:41
  the autism brain have this big fight pretty much every single
• 2:45
  day. And it's really fascinating to
• 2:48
  see because you can really be obsessed with many different
• 2:50
  topics and learn many different things.
• 2:52
  This is why a lot of people will say that autistic people are
• 2:54
  very intelligent or have a high IQ, because they're switching
• 2:56
  between these topics and learning vast amounts of
• 2:58
  different things all the time and retaining that information,
• 3:01
  which is something that I actually do as well.
• 3:03
  And it is, again, quite a funny thing to talk about, and I never
• 3:06
  really sit down and talk about it myself.
• 3:07
  This is why I'm doing this video, because I want you guys
• 3:09
  to know what this is like and maybe you have it.
• 3:12
  Let me know down below if these are resonating with you.
• 3:13
  Drop me a comment down below and give the video.
• 3:15
  Like it really helps me out. Okay.
• 3:17
  So #3 is fast speech and monotone talking.
• 3:21
  So autistic individuals will want to talk about their special
• 3:26
  topic of interest, but they will have a very monotone talk.
• 3:28
  There will be no inflections on words and stuff like that.
• 3:31
  It'll be very monotone, almost kind of like robotic talking,
• 3:34
  but. The ADHD brain will make you
• 3:36
  talk super fast. So I feel like I talk really,
• 3:39
  really fast. And when I'm in real life, when
• 3:41
  I'm talking to people have monotone talking.
• 3:43
  When I'm doing videos, I'm performing, I'm doing this like
• 3:45
  this. But if you, you know, if we were
• 3:46
  talking normally and you were here with me right now, I talk
• 3:48
  like this and it'll be very monotone talking and I would
• 3:51
  have a very rapid speech because a DHD wants you to speak really
• 3:54
  fast because your brain's going like 1000 miles an hour, but
• 3:58
  also someone choose to have a really flat.
• 4:00
  Flow, you know, flow, pace to how you talk, which is really
• 4:04
  interesting because it's the most frustrating thing to me
• 4:07
  because I trip over my words all the time and I also mumble
• 4:10
  sometimes because it's just a big kind of like they're just
• 4:13
  hitting heads constantly, those two things.
• 4:15
  OK, so #4 is wanting to be social versus social anxiety.
• 4:20
  So lots of people with a DHD want to be social and make
• 4:23
  friends and have fun because they want to do crazy stuff and
• 4:25
  they want to kind of like, you know, really feel that
• 4:29
  friendship because friendship. Allows for a comfortable feeling
• 4:32
  that you know that you're being looked after and that you are
• 4:34
  liked and you're loved and that there's nothing wrong with that.
• 4:36
  And a DHD people find interesting in those things
• 4:38
  because they can have attention with different types of people
• 4:41
  for short amount of time and that's great.
• 4:43
  On the other hand, and this does go for a DHD as well, but on the
• 4:46
  other hand, the, the autism brain really does have social
• 4:48
  anxiety issues. And so as much as we want to go
• 4:51
  and socialize with people, we'll also find it very, very socially
• 4:55
  anxious ridden to go to a pub or a club or or or an event or a
• 4:58
  party or something like that. So you've got this kind of.
• 5:00
  Like, again, this wants to go and socialize and then the want
• 5:04
  to also hold back from socializing because of the the
• 5:06
  social anxiety that comes with going to a specific place.
• 5:10
  Which is really annoying, but it is what it is and it's kind of
• 5:13
  funny, I suppose in a way not really funny, you know what I
• 5:15
  mean? Not actually ha funny, but just
• 5:17
  like, oh, it's quite interesting, isn't it?
• 5:18
  #5 is wanting to talk a lot, but then also forgetting what you
• 5:21
  want to say. So autistic individuals want to
• 5:23
  talk a lot about something that they love forever.
• 5:26
  I mean, if I want to sit down here and talk to you about
• 5:27
  marketing and social media marketing and management, I
• 5:30
  could sit down. I'll talk to you about it
• 5:31
  forever. FYI, guys, if you do want to
• 5:33
  learn anything from me like that, drop me a comment.
• 5:34
  We could always, you know, do a video on that.
• 5:37
  But I love social media marketing and and everything to
• 5:39
  encompass that and SEO. You know, everything comes into
• 5:42
  marketing In terms of the ADHD brain, how often do you kind of,
• 5:48
  like start saying something, but your brain starts wandering off
• 5:51
  and you forget what you're doing.
• 5:52
  You're like, Oh my gosh, I'm stood up in front of my entire
• 5:55
  family telling the story and now my brain has just.
• 5:57
  Exited the room and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
• 6:00
  Now I have to just stop abruptly and then nobody knows what the
• 6:04
  end of the story is that you're like, I don't even know what the
• 6:06
  end of stories because I forgot what I'm talking about.
• 6:07
  This is so funny. This happens all the time and
• 6:10
  it's definitely it's an ADHD classic, but it's also annoying
• 6:14
  because the autistic part of you wants to just kind of go all
• 6:16
  like train in and get in this like, locomotive information.
• 6:21
  So that's really funny And it's, it's it's how they react.
• 6:24
  So do you suffer with the ADHD on autism kind of overlap.
