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.
• 0:08
  And we're getting into that right now.
• 0:12
  Autistic brains kind of process sensory input a lot differently.
• 0:16
  And that means we often notice certain things that other people
• 0:18
  don't notice or the typical people don't notice, which is
• 0:21
  really interesting. So in this video, I'm going to
• 0:22
  show you two things that pretty much every autistic person
• 0:25
  experiences, and I'm going to do that right now.
• 0:27
  So if we back up a little bit here, autism changes how we
• 0:30
  experience certain things or how we experience senses or sensory
• 0:33
  input from light, touch, sound, smell, movement, all that kind
• 0:36
  of stuff. Now I'm autistic, I've diagnosed
• 0:39
  autism and ADHD, and my name is Dan.
• 0:41
  By the way, If you're new around here and want to learn more than
• 0:43
  maybe hit the subscribe button by clicking the notification
• 0:46
  bell down below so you don't miss a video that we're
• 0:48
  publishing here 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
• 0:58
  and they'll do their daily life and then all of a sudden they
• 1:01
  don't know of something. Autistic individuals will walk
• 1:03
  around and we'll see something and we can identify.
• 1:07
  But why are those things? This is so interesting and some
• 1:10
  traits are really common in autistic people and they also
• 1:13
  feel like it's a shared language that only we can see it.
• 1:16
  And I did a viral TikTok video on this one of these things and
• 1:19
  it was so interesting because it took off like wildfire and
• 1:21
  people were like, wow, this is true.
• 1:23
  And I kind of joking was like this is the test if you're
• 1:25
  artistic or not. If you can see this, then you're
• 1:26
  artistic. If you can't see it then.
• 1:27
  So the first one was light flickering.
• 1:30
  All lights flicker. There's a vibration of lights
• 1:32
  flickered and cathode tube lighting or strip lighting.
• 1:36
  You know this kind of stuff you have in like offices and like
• 1:37
  malls and things like that. Those strips have a flicker,
• 1:40
  which is a frame rate, which means that it vibrates.
• 1:42
  The light vibrates in intervals and typically the light vibrates
• 1:47
  so fast that we can't see the speed in which it flickers.
• 1:52
  So it just looks like a constant light.
• 1:53
  Repeat your phone over over the old TV's.
• 1:55
  You can see that the lines in the middle of the air than that.
• 1:57
  And or if you've taken a video on your phone and there's a
• 2:00
  strobe light and you're like, how is this strobe lighting
• 2:02
  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, oh, life real.
• 2:14
  I'm like, dudes, it's like a discord and they're like, no, I
• 2:17
  can't see it. Like Oh my goodness.
• 2:19
  And then I found out the more I spoke about this and the more I
• 2:22
  talked 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 flicky or what's going on?
• 2:30
  I'm like, what the heck is going on?
• 2:34
  So that being said, I put a video out saying hey, if you're
• 2:38
  autistic you'll relate to this. And they were like almost, I'd
• 2:41
  say 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 mum of a kid on the spectrum.
• 2:49
  He always does this in front of lights.
• 2:51
  And I'll explain why they do that in a minute.
• 2:53
  And I have never seen the light. I can't see a flicker.
• 2:55
  I just see it's just a constant light.
• 2:56
  Now, autistic individuals, you'll see them do this a lot
• 2:59
  when they're faced with light. And the reason they do this or
• 3:03
  they even take a pen and do this right is because the phase of
• 3:06
  the light flickering has intervals.
• 3:08
  If you think about the light as a wave like this, you've got
• 3:11
  peaks and troughs, right? So peaks and troughs.
• 3:14
  And so the peaks and troughs, you're like it's hitting you and
• 3:17
  there's intervals and it's really annoying because you're
• 3:18
  like, oh man, it's not consistent.
• 3:20
  The solid beam of light would be like this, but the peaks and
• 3:22
  troughs is 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 line so that when you're doing
• 3:32
  this, what what you're actually doing is just blocking the light
• 3:35
  to being solid, right? And so you're out of 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 what it's for.
• 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, got that BDE energy, and then

• 4:23
  Now the other thing I said those two things that were saying
• 4:25
  people do not number one, light flickering 100% we almost all of
• 4:30
  us can see. If you don't see the light
• 4:31
  fucking, you have to drop me a comment down below.
• 4:33
  The second thing there are assisting individuals do is
• 4:36
  restless like syndrome. So people, people who like just
• 4:39
  have their leg and they're like constantly just shaking their
• 4:41
  leg. And you see this alternative
• 4:42
  people just shaking their leg and you can sit on a bench and
• 4:45
  the whole bench is shaking because the person's shaking
• 4:47
  their leg, right? And this is called restless like
• 4:48
  syndrome. Now it's a form of stimming or
• 4:52
  self stimulatory behaviour. Also, stimming stands for and
• 4:55
  self stimulatory behaviour. It's basically a way of you to
• 4:59
  self regulate, which means a way for you to do something that you
• 5:02
  can feel calm by doing something repetitive.
• 5:06
  Some people like rock to sleep or rub your toes together or
• 5:09
  whatever because those things it's like a repetitive movement
• 5:12
  like rock a baby to sleep. It's like repetitive and the
• 5:14
  baby feels comfortable. So it's the same type of thing.
• 5:16
  We are feeling overwhelmed or, or or distant in reality.
• 5:20
  So we do that thing to make us feel comfortable and the
• 5:22
  repetitiveness of it makes us feel comfortable.
• 5:24
  Now this restless leg syndrome and the light flicker, it's
• 5:28
  either one or the other. Now you have to drop in a comet.
• 5:30
  Is it light flick or is it restless leg syndrome?
• 5:32
  Or do you have both? Because you can't have both.
• 5:34
  I'm not saying that you don't have one or the other.
• 5:36
  I'm saying that you can't have both, but I'm pretty sure you
• 5:39
  will have either one or both of these.
• 5:41
  Now drop in the comment down below.
• 5:42
  I read every single one. Guys, I wasn't always this
• 5:45
  confident and I definitely wasn't always this able.
• 5:47
  I'm 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?
