  you can. Okay guys.
• 1:31
  So as we're just in a very interesting one, it can
• 1:34
  sometimes be called an invisible disability and rightfully.
• 1:37
  So because sometimes it can be so kind With Niche that you
• 1:40
  don't really notice it and somebody unless he's spending a
• 1:43
  lot of time with them all unless you know, really what you're
• 1:46
  looking for. So if you have suspicions that
• 1:48
  someone you know, is on the autism spectrum or you know,
• 1:51
  somebody who potentially has Asperger's Syndrome, these are
• 1:53
  seven very, very simple effective ways that you can
• 1:57
  identify in them. So, you know what you're looking
• 2:00
  for. Kind of like an identification
• 2:01
  things so that they have it by the end of this video, you'll be
• 2:03
  able to go are. Yeah, I get it.
• 2:05
  I know if I'm spotting Asperger's and somebody I'm not.
• 2:07
  Okay, so number one is a strong field of Interest.
• 2:09
  Right now, people on the autism spectrum have a very strong
• 2:12
  specific field of interest that will dominate The Life and also
• 2:15
  become an obsession, sometimes it's Star Wars and Star Trek
• 2:17
  could be cookbooks could be absolutely anything.
• 2:20
  And this kind of obsession this, this deep-rooted obsession is a
• 2:24
  special interest. This person could be like an
• 2:26
  expert in the thing that they know.
• 2:28
  It could be cards or chess or guitars or books or what it
• 2:31
  could be absolutely anything. But you know, that their special
• 2:34
  interest because the life revolves around it and
• 2:35
  everything they know is all about this thing.
• 2:39
  Love it okay. Number two is intellectually
• 2:42
  aligned. Now, autistic people are very
• 2:45
  usually intellectually aligned with like thinking and
• 2:49
  researching logically that they love logical thinking and love
• 2:52
  like intellectual conversation, like the Bates, documentaries
• 2:55
  things are Alec like science and math and puzzles and and stuff,
• 2:59
  I guess I'm going like Minecraft is an intellectual logical
• 3:03
  thinking game, you know. So just even being obsessed on
• 3:05
  Minecraft. That's a good indication because
• 3:07
  it's a Lego or Legos another one.
• 3:10
  Very logical game. And it's because the way the
• 3:13
  brain is is trying to compute trying to problem-solve and with
• 3:17
  autistic people, just trying to problem-solve degree.
• 3:20
  So they align themselves with intellectual logical thinking
• 3:23
  for problem solving, which is why maths and Science, and stuff
• 3:26
  kind of comes up again and again, with people on the autism
• 3:28
  spectrum, okay? So, number three is no brainer,
• 3:30
  it's lack of eye contact. Now, autistic people will have a
• 3:33
  difficulty making and maintaining eye contact in
• 3:36
  social situations and sometimes in, just like friendly and
• 3:39
  family situation. Do I have an issue in a
• 3:41
  difficulty in maintaining eye contact with my family?
• 3:44
  You know, and I grew up with them.
• 3:44
  Thank my parents for goodness sake, but at the end of the day,
• 3:47
  eye, contact is difficult. It's very difficult to maintain.
• 3:50
  So if you notice somebody who's not making good eye contact, and
• 3:54
  it could be a sign that they're actually on the autism spectrum.
• 3:56
  Okay, so number four is unusual clothing habit, right?
• 3:59
  That sounds a bit weird but let me explain, right?
• 4:00
  So you may find that autistic individuals will like to wear
• 4:04
  the same clothes. All the same type of clothes,
• 4:06
  like every single day. Like I love black clothing.
• 4:08
  I have loads of places. Lane clothing.
• 4:10
  And actually one of the things is, I can't wear like big fancy
• 4:13
  patterns and stuff on my own way jumpers and my t-shirts because
• 4:17
  it gets too overwhelming and overpowering for me.
• 4:19
  So I have to have a plane stuff and I love playing clothes and
• 4:21
  actually just threw out loads of clothes, to just have, you know,
• 4:24
  black jeans gray jeans, black t-shirts, gray t-shirt and then
• 4:27
  just hoodies of just different, you know, plain soft colors,
• 4:31
  like, pink blue, black, and whatever.
• 4:34
  This is very common for people on the autism spectrum and I
• 4:36
  love to wear the same thing every day.
• 4:37
  I love wearing the same thing every day and it makes me just
• 4:39
  It does two things. It makes you feel comfortable in
• 4:42
  what I know I like wearing and the second thing is that it
• 4:45
  takes out an issue and the issue of choice when I gonna wear
• 4:48
  today. You know, I that my life can't
• 4:50
  be taken up by choices of what I'm going to wear.
• 4:52
  There's so much other things I want to think about.
• 4:54
  So that's typically another kind of trait, okay?
• 4:57
  So number five is picky eating now, picky eating cousin,
• 5:01
  something called sensory processing disorder, and that
• 5:04
  comes hand in hand with autism, and this can create interesting,
• 5:07
  eating habits and picky eating habits.
• 5:08
  Were, they may not like, Hot or cold food touching on a plate.
• 5:11
  Let me not like food touching on a plate.
• 5:13
  You may not like cold food that may just like hot food.
• 5:15
  They may just like one thing and any autism parents watching.
• 5:18
  This will be like chicken nuggets.
• 5:20
  That's it. My kid just is chicken nuggets
• 5:22
  or hey, if you're just yourself and you just eat chicken nuggets
• 5:24
  and with your thumb, I'm vegan and I still eat vegan chicken
• 5:27
  nuggets. It's like, it's like a jam.
• 5:28
  It's a thing. Don't worry about it.
• 5:30
  I've got you. Okay, so in this 6 is being
• 5:33
  socially awkward, you know, as autism is a communication issue,
• 5:36
  socializing can be extremely difficult for people with
• 5:39
  Asperger's In adulthood because the more the older you get, the
• 5:42
  more socially supposed to become in work and in the gym and, you
• 5:45
  know, going to the store or going anywhere doing anything.
• 5:48
  Seen your friends, go to clubs and pubs and all this kind of
• 5:51
  rubbish. You know, people are always
• 5:54
  wanting to be around social situations, social environments
• 5:56
  and people in general, like social conversation.
• 5:59
  But people on the autism spectrum will have difficulties
• 6:01
  in the areas because they find Social gestures and social, you
• 6:05
  know, come construct, very difficult to grasp.
• 6:09
  And those Unwritten subject of social rules that nobody really
• 6:12
  talks about the just there, like, this is a stand away from
• 6:15
  somebody went to talk. What is this rude?
• 6:17
  Do I have a filter? Am I allowed to just leave?
• 6:19
  Do I just come in and start talking?
• 6:20
  All these things are amiss with people on the autism spectrum
• 6:22
  because it's difficult to learn those things when you're trying
• 6:24
  to learn about the Catholic world around you, but a very,
• 6:26
  very common trait of autism and yeah, yeah, okay.
• 6:31
  So number seven is the love of routine.
• 6:34
  Now artistic, people love routines, routines are kind of
• 6:38
  like the Cozy hug that. If place that the Carefree
• 6:42
  wondering of someone on the autism spectrum, they may like
• 6:44
  to sit in the same place every day, they might like the same
• 6:46
  cereal every day. They might go to the same job
• 6:48
  that they have been 20 years and do the same thing every day.
• 6:51
  Repetition through the, the certainty of what is to expect,
• 6:56
  is something that people on the autism spectrum will love
• 6:58
  because surprises and and certain events and instability
• 7:02
  in what they're going to do in their day.
• 7:03
  And it's just, it's not good, it's not good for people in the
• 7:06
  office and special it could cause meltdowns and all kinds of
• 7:08
  stuff. So, The love of routine, having
• 7:11
  a routine and sticking to a strict rigid routine, is
• 7:13
  something that people on the autism spectrum will display and
• 7:15
  they'll love, they'll actually really enjoy doing that.
• 7:18
  And if that kind of sway is if you sway from that routine, it
• 7:21
  could become very hostile and very volatile in that situation,
• 7:26
  which is damaging to the person's mental health.
• 7:28
  And obviously just, you know, them as a person, you know, you
• 7:30
  want to kind of stay as calm as possible, but love of routine,
• 7:33
  something on the autism spectrum, definitely one of the
• 7:36
  most common ones for autism, spectrum disorder.
