Autistic People Die Early!? · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

• 0:00
  So there's a new study out that says that autistic people die
• 0:03
  earlier than non autistic people.
• 0:06
  The life expectancy for an autistic individual is somewhere
• 0:09
  between 30 and 50 years old. And that's a staggering
• 0:11
  statistic. Guys, welcome back to the ASP
• 0:13
  world. My name is Dan.
• 0:13
  I have autism, ADHDOCD and dyslexia, and I make weekly
• 0:17
  videos all about this stuff. But today specifically, I'm
• 0:19
  doing two things. I'm answering a question which I
• 0:21
  put in a video yesterday. I posed a question, I just seen
• 0:23
  a video and today I'm going to answer that question.
• 0:25
  But also today I'm going to pose another question and I'm going
• 0:28
  to reveal more more interesting information about this and how I
• 0:32
  can help you specifically with videos coming out tomorrow,
• 0:35
  which is unlike anything I've ever done before.
• 0:37
  I'm just going to blow in mind. Now, autistic individuals 80% of
• 0:41
  the time are out of work or unable to get work.
• 0:44
  Now this is a crazy statistic and I was talking about this in
• 0:46
  the last video, but in terms of why this happens, there are
• 0:49
  multitude of issues. One of the main things is that
• 0:52
  autistic individuals sometimes and actually a lot of the time,
• 0:57
  will lack self-confidence, self-awareness, self-awareness
• 0:59
  and self-confidence. When those things dip, you have
• 1:02
  a lack of ability to go forward systematically, which means if
• 1:07
  you're feeling less adequate than the other person, if you're
• 1:10
  feeling intimidated by the work you're going to present to do,
• 1:14
  then you are going to look not confident.
• 1:17
  And you're also going to feel a lack of confidence, which will
• 1:19
  also spoil the job. Like if you were told to operate
• 1:22
  a piece of machinery, but you didn't know how machinery
• 1:23
  worked, you'd be less confident in working that machinery.
• 1:26
  Which means that if somebody else came in and they were
• 1:28
  confident in using that machine because they knew about it, then
• 1:31
  they would be like, you know, have the upper hand to you.
• 1:34
  So it's all about creating confidence around the thing that
• 1:37
  you currently have issues with. And this is done in a multitude
• 1:41
  of ways. Now, specifically for work, you
• 1:43
  understand the machinery and the mechanics for the thing you were
• 1:45
  working on. You become more confident in it
• 1:47
  and the confident will exceed your expectations in what you
• 1:51
  think to be successful in that job role.
• 1:53
  And that is how you can do that. Now, I'm actually teaching this
• 1:56
  in a program and I'll speak more about that tomorrow, but
• 1:58
  specifically that issue is is so unbelievably easy to fix as long
• 2:05
  as you know what you're doing. Now, at the beginning of this
• 2:07
  video, I said that there's a huge statistical data piece that
• 2:10
  came out saying autistic individuals are going to die
• 2:12
  earlier. This comes from a fact that
• 2:14
  autistic individuals have issues with mental health issues.
• 2:19
  They'll have issues with, you know, communication,
• 2:21
  responsibilities of trying to communicate with other people,
• 2:24
  relationships, work, love life, children, family life, friends,
• 2:29
  circles. All these things will become
• 2:31
  added pressure and these things may topple over on top of an
• 2:35
  autistic person. But why are they dying early?
• 2:37
  What is the what is the reason for this?
• 2:40
  And is that something you could do about it?
• 2:42
  Now there is an in tomorrow's video, which is my last video in
• 2:46
  this three video sequence. I'm going to talk all about that
• 2:49
  and and a fantastic opportunity I have for every autistic adult.
• 2:52
