  Well, that's about this physical exercise important for girls in
• 0:02
  the autism spectrum. Let's get into that right now,
• 0:05
  guys. What's going on?
• 0:06
  Welcome back to the Aspy world. My name is Dan and I have autism
• 0:09
  at ADHD. My goal in life.

• 0:28
  those things. I upload 4 videos a day, every
• 0:30
  day. Like seriously, Gad, what's
• 0:32
  going on? I I've done loads of videos
• 0:34
  talking about exercise. I've done videos talking about,
• 0:36
  you know, authorism and the importance of different types of
• 0:38
  things. But I haven't really
• 0:38
  specifically said, you know, why is it important that girls in
• 0:41
  the office and spectrum, you know, exercise and have physical
• 0:44
  activity in their life? Now, a lot of the time we think
• 0:48
  about autism and we think about dopamine chasing because we're
• 0:51
  all trying to get a hit of dopamine.
• 0:53
  Boys typically gravitate towards more extreme sports.
• 0:56
  I think it's because something to do with the level of danger
• 0:59
  in, in a, in a male's brain. It is less cautious than it
• 1:03
  isn't a female's brain, you know, and it, it's kind of like,
• 1:06
  I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
• 1:08
  So men are more gravitated towards, can do more extreme
• 1:12
  sports and they're, they're more into sports than I would say
• 1:15
  females typically, right. As I was just saying, typically.
• 1:18
  So boys are always chasing dopamine by doing, you know,
• 1:21
  extreme sports or, or, or football or, or atypical kind of
• 1:24
  high school sports. Whereas females on the other
• 1:26
  hand, they'll kind of tend to go towards more kind of like
• 1:30
  intellectual things like business and finance and things
• 1:33
  like that because girls are intellectually more equipped
• 1:37
  than males initially and intentionally.
• 1:40
  So that being said, girls kind of miss out a lot on the
• 1:44
  dopamine from physical activity. The one thing I would say is
• 1:47
  that when you chase dopamine in a healthy way, not through like
• 1:51
  addiction or gambling drugs or anything, then you will be able
• 1:54
  to have more satisfactory life from the ultimate inspection by
• 1:56
  actually gaining dopamine through good, healthy, strong
• 1:59
  ways that are going to benefit you and your body.
• 2:02
  Now girls in the ultimate spectrum, I definitely highly
• 2:04
  recommend walking or running or working out at least two or
• 2:08
  three times a week. This will help keep importance
• 2:11
  of, of keep giving you dopamine from, from healthy sources.
• 2:14
  Not only this, it actually helps build something called
• 2:16
  proprioception, which is the deep muscle activation that
• 2:19
  you'll need to do. You'll need to activate in order
• 2:23
  to have a, a healthier sensory relationship because sensory
• 2:27
  processing disorder is a really big thing.
• 2:29
  But for people on the autism spectrum and to help overcome a
• 2:32
  lot of like spatial awareness and, and, and your muscle
• 2:34
  awareness on your how your muscles are positioned in space.
• 2:38
  Like how do I open the door? You know, do I open it big
• 2:41
  enough to walk through it or not?
• 2:42
  All the same stance, appropriate exception.
• 2:44
  And you can absolutely hack this by working out and adding in
• 2:47
  fitness into your life. Now, if you want to get your
• 2:50
