If You Are Autistic You 100% Do This! · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

  So the reason why I say if you're autistic then you will
• 0:02
  100% do this is because there are certain things that a body
• 0:05
  responds to that are almost universal in autism, and we're
• 0:08
  getting into that right now. Autistic brains kind of process
• 0:13
  sensory input a lot differently, and that means we often notice
• 0:17
  certain things that other people don't notice or the typical
• 0:20
  people don't notice, which is really interesting.
• 0:22
  So in this video, I'm going to show you two things that pretty
• 0:24
  much every autistic person experiences, and I'm going to do
• 0:26
  that right now. So if we back up a little bit
• 0:28
  here, autism changes how we experience certain things or how
• 0:32
  we experience senses or sensory input from light, touch, sound,
• 0:35
  smell, movement, all that kind of stuff.
• 0:37
  Now I'm autistic, I've diagnosed autism and ADHD, and my name is
• 0:40
  Dan. By the way.
• 0:41
  If you're new around here and want to learn more than maybe

  down below so you don't miss a video that we're publishing here
• 0:48
  on this channel. And this can cause unique
• 0:51
  reactions to neurotypical people.
• 0:53
  They may never notice certain things like neurotypical people
• 0:56
  or not, autistic people will walk around and they'll do their
• 0:59
  daily life and then all of a sudden they don't know if
• 1:01
  something autistic individuals will walk around and we'll see
• 1:04
  something and we can identify. But why are those things?
• 1:09
  This is so interesting and some traits are really common in
• 1:11
  autistic people and they also feel like it's a shared language
• 1:14
  that only we can see it. And I did a viral TikTok video
• 1:17
  on this one of these things and it was so interesting because it
• 1:20
  took off like wildfire and people were like, wow, this is
• 1:22
  true. And I kind of joking was like,
• 1:24
  this is the test if you're artistic or not.
• 1:25
  If you can see this, then you're artistic.
• 1:26
  If you can't see it then. So the first one was light
• 1:29
  flickering. All lights flicker.
• 1:31
  There's a vibration of lights flicker and cathode tube
• 1:34
  lighting or strip lighting, you know, this kind of stuff you
• 1:36
  have in like offices and like malls and things like that.
• 1:38
  Those strips have a flicker, which is a frame rate, which
• 1:41
  means that it vibrates. The light vibrates in intervals
• 1:45
  and typically the light vibrates so fast that we can't see the
• 1:50
  speed in which it flickers. So it just looks like a constant
• 1:53
  light. If you put your phone over, over
• 1:55
  the old TV's, you can see that the lines in the middle of you
• 1:57
  have done that. And or if you've taken a video
• 1:59
  on your phone and there's a strobe light, I mean, like, how
• 2:01
  is this strobe lighting coming? So autistic individuals actually
• 2:05
  can see that flicker of the light, right?
• 2:07
  And this is fascinating because I could be somewhere and I'm
• 2:10
  like, Oh my goodness, can you see this light flickering?
• 2:13
  And the people are like, freeze. I'm like, dude, it's like a
• 2:16
  discord. And they're like, no, I can't
• 2:17
  see it. Like Oh my goodness.
• 2:19
  And then I found out the more I spoke about this, the more I
• 2:21
  spoke to other people about it, I found out that the autistic
• 2:24
  friends I had were like, you know, I can see the light.
• 2:26
  I'm like, yeah, it's flickering. And then the non autistic people
• 2:28
  were like, there's no flicker here.
• 2:30
  What's going on? I'm like.
• 2:31
  What the? Heck is going on.
• 2:34
  So that being said, I put a video out saying hey, if you're
• 2:38
  artistic, you're right to this. And they were like almost, I'd
• 2:41
  say a good 99% of my audience, I see the light And the people who
• 2:45
  didn't see it were like, I'm not autistic and I can't see the
• 2:47
  light. And a lot of people were like,
• 2:48
  hey, I'm a mom of a kid on the spectrum and he always does this
• 2:50
  in front of the lights. And I'll explain why they do
• 2:52
  that in a minute. And I have never seen the light.
• 2:54
  I can't see a flicker. I just see it's just a constant
• 2:56
  light. Now, autistic individuals,
• 2:58
  you'll see them do this a lot when they're faced with light.
• 3:01
  And the reason they do this or they even take a pen and do this
• 3:05
  right is because the phase of the light flickering has
• 3:08
  nibbles. If you think about the light as
• 3:09
  a wave like this, you've got peaks and troughs, right?
• 3:12
  So peaks and troughs. And so the peaks and troughs,
• 3:15
  you're like, it's hitting you and there's intervals and it's
• 3:18
  really annoying because you're like, oh man, it's not
• 3:19
  consistent. Solid beam light would be like
• 3:21
  this. But the peaks and troughs is
• 3:22
  like this. And so when you flick your hands
• 3:25
  like this, what you're doing is you're covering up the the peaks
• 3:28
  and the troughs, making a solid light so that when you're doing
• 3:32
  this, what you're actually doing is just blocking the light to
• 3:35
  being solid, right? And so you're outer phasing or
• 3:39
  counter phasing that flicker. So that's just a solid beam of
• 3:42
  light. And that is so interesting.
• 3:45
  It's fascinating. And so people will say it's the
• 3:47
  stemming. And so we get used to this and
• 3:49
  it becomes like something that's common and repetitive, we'll
• 3:51
  just do every now and then, but that's where it's fall.
• 3:53
  We're trying to normalize the light.
• 3:55
  So it's a solid beam of light. Guys, if you are interested in
• 3:58
  knowing how I became confident and got that BDE energy, then

• 4:21
  I promise you, you're going to be.
• 4:23
  Amazed. Now the other thing I said those
• 4:24
  two things I was saying people do not number one, light
• 4:27
  flickering 100%. We almost all of us can see.
• 4:31
  If you don't see the light flicking, you have to drop me a
• 4:32
  comment down below. The second thing that autistic
• 4:34
  individuals do is restless like syndrome.
• 4:38
  So people, people who like just have their leg and they're like
• 4:40
  constantly just shaking their leg.
• 4:42
  And you see this alternative people just shaking their leg
• 4:44
  and you can sit on a bench and the whole bench is shaking
• 4:46
  because the person is shaking their leg, right?
• 4:47
  And this is called restless like syndrome.
• 4:49
  Now it's a form of stemming or self stimulatory behavior.
• 4:54
  Also stemming stands for and self stimulatory behavior is
• 4:57
  basically a way of you to self regulate, which means the way
• 5:01
  for you to do something that you can feel calm by doing something
• 5:05
  repetitive. Some people like rock to sleep
• 5:07
  or rub your toes together or whatever because those things
• 5:11
  it's like a repetitive movement. Rock a baby to sleep, it's like
• 5:14
  repetitive and the baby feels comfortable.
• 5:15
  So it's the same type of thing, we are feeling overwhelmed or,
• 5:18
  or or distant in reality. So we do that thing to make us
• 5:21
  feel comfortable and the repetitiveness of it makes us
• 5:23
  feel comfortable. Now this restless leg syndrome
• 5:26
  and the light flicker, it's either one or the other.
• 5:29
  Now you have to drop in a comet. Is it light flicker or is it
• 5:31
  restless leg syndrome? Or do you have both?
• 5:33
  Because you can't have both. I'm not saying that you don't
• 5:35
  have one or the other. I'm saying that you can't have
• 5:37
  both. But I'm pretty sure you will
• 5:39
  have either one or both of these.
• 5:41
  Now drop in a comment down below.
• 5:42
  I read every single one. Guys, I wasn't always this
• 5:44
  confident and I definitely wasn't always this able.
• 5:47
  I't able to hold down having a full time self-employed job.
• 5:50
  I have children and a relationship across the
• 5:53
  Atlantic. How did I do this?
