  video. So guys, today I'm covering 10
• 0:55
  physical signs of Aspergers and girls.
• 0:58
  So this is going to be really interesting because there are
• 1:00
  many people who who think that autism is not just a it's just a
• 1:05
  neurological condition that doesn't have any physical kind
• 1:07
  of or biological impact, but it actually does.
• 1:09
  There are more signs of autism, physical and not just kind of
• 1:12
  neurological, that you don't really notice.
• 1:14
  So I'm going to go through 10 right now.
• 1:15
  And yeah, these are all amazingly interesting.
• 1:19
  OK, so the first one is difficulty with social
• 1:20
  interaction. Now, when you're physically
• 1:22
  around other people and you can't communicate socially
• 1:26
  effectively, it's obvious you know you're someone who's scared
• 1:28
  of talking, doesn't know social boundaries, doesn't know how to
• 1:31
  stand next to somebody, probably doesn't always show your turn to
• 1:33
  talk, do not say hello, goodbye, how to start a conversation.
• 1:36
  All these are telltale science. So #2 is repetitive behavior.
• 1:40
  Building the opsins spectrum may just be wanting to get up.
• 1:43
  You know, do their hair, brush their teeth, go downstairs, eat
• 1:45
  cereal, then that's what we do all day, every day.
• 1:48
  Just just do that same kind of cycle every day.
• 1:51
  Wake up, do it, brush teeth, have cereal.
• 1:53
  And then maybe watch cartoons and read the newspaper.
• 1:55
  Like they could just do this all the time.
• 1:57
  Now that repetitive behavior, that repetitive actual physical,
• 2:00
  tactile feedback they're getting is comfortable for them because
• 2:02
  it's relatability and they know what's going to happen, so it's
• 2:04
  reliable. This is why repetitive behavior
• 2:07
  is common among people on the Also the spectrum difficulty
• 2:11
  with communication is #3, and this actually comes from being
• 2:14
  disadvantaged, like communicating effectively,
• 2:16
  that's reading, understanding verbal, nonverbal, written
• 2:19
  communication, the language that comes along with it.
• 2:21
  Because when we talk, when we physically say something, we
• 2:24
  have emotion attached to that and we can we can decode that
• 2:26
  emotion and understand it. But for autistic individuals
• 2:29
  like myself, that emotion is difficult to read and
• 2:32
  understand. So builds on the with Asperger's
• 2:34
  syndrome will have difficulties with communication in general.
• 2:37
  And this is all types of communication, not just verbal
• 2:40
  communication. So #4 is sensory processing
• 2:42
  issues. This could mean that they have a
• 2:44
  light sensitivity, they can't be around bright light, they have a
• 2:47
  noise sensitivity if we're headphones all time because
• 2:49
  everything's too loud. They have a smell sensitivity or
• 2:52
  texture sensitivity, so they don't like saying foods or
• 2:54
  certain environments, right? And this is no exception for
• 2:59
  anyone. Girls Nielsen Spectrum girls
• 3:01
  with Asperger syndrome definitely have this issue.
• 3:03
  OK, so #5 is rigidity. So this means that looking at a
• 3:08
  person on the autism spectrum, the girl with Asperger's, would
• 3:10
  not like to deviate from the set path of the set plan.
• 3:14
  Any change in their routine, any change in their current future
• 3:19
  which is imminent is going to be detrimental to them and they
• 3:21
  won't be able to deal with it at all.
• 3:23
  So having a rigid structure that they stick to is very important
• 3:26
  and it's a big telltale sign of people on the Olsen spectrum.
• 3:29
  So every six is special interest.
• 3:30
  Now girls in the autumn spectrum will physically collect books on
• 3:33
  some new one Twilight series. All the foot time watches a lot
• 3:36
  of DVDs or they'll collect, I don't know, brooches, watches
• 3:39
  anything, hairbrushes could be absolutely anything.
• 3:42
  They will collect something that is very, very interesting and
• 3:46
  topical to them. And it could be the most bizarre
• 3:47
  thing. Could be rocks, it could be
• 3:48
  types of minerals, could be literally anything.
• 3:52
  And they'll collect these until the cows come home.
• 3:54
  It'll be something that they just have abundance of and
• 3:56
  they'll tell you everything about it.
• 3:57
  They'll watch documentaries on it, but they'll physically
• 3:59
  collect things as well, because people on the audience spectrum
• 4:01
  do like to collect items and trinkets and things like that.
• 4:04
  So you'll see someone being a collector and not just a nympho
• 4:07
  base for their topic of interest.
• 4:09
  So #7 is difficulties with executive function girls on the
• 4:12
  autism spectrum. Girls with Asperger syndrome
• 4:14
  will struggle to organize their lives.
• 4:16
  Struggle to organize like getting the washing done, doing
• 4:18
  the dishes, making food, meeting up with friends, remembering to
• 4:21
  take care of themselves, remembering to you know wash
• 4:24
  dishes and and get their clothes ready.
• 4:26
  All of these things very difficult for for people on the
• 4:29
  autism spectrum to grasp. Some of it is delay in multi
• 4:32
  development. This could be fine and gross
• 4:33
  motor skills like how you but keys and doors to open the door
• 4:37
  could be picking up things. It could be the ability to
• 4:40
  actively pick up a cup without dropping and smashing it.
• 4:42
  Or presuming that they look clumsy.
• 4:45
  It's not clumsiness, it's actually issues with motor
• 4:47
  development. Now, girls in the autism
• 4:48
  spectrum will definitely display traits.
• 4:51
  All of this because it's down to something called processing
• 4:53
  disorder as well, sensory processing disorder.
• 4:55
  But it is very common and it does impact a lot of girls on
• 4:58
  the spectrum. Now #9 is emotional regulation
• 5:00
  now. Or I should say emotional
• 5:02
  deregulation. Because girls on the autism
• 5:04
  spectrum won't be able to fully, 100% regulate their emotions,
• 5:08
  which means that they may be up and down very erratically with
• 5:11
  how they how they think and how they feel because they won't be
• 5:14
  able to express their feelings. So they may seem very angry and
• 5:16
  aggressive when actually they're just upset about something
• 5:19
  that's pending in the future. Or they could be really, really
• 5:21
  happy and a circular laughing at something that isn't really that
• 5:23
  funny because there's no regulation of emotions and it's
• 5:27
  hard to put that across #10 is unusual body language.
• 5:30
  Now this could be the a stance that could be standing a bit
• 5:33
  odd. It could be not knowing how to
• 5:34
  sit down properly. It could be not knowing how
• 5:37
  close to sit to another person in a in a closed setting or
• 5:40
  standing makes front of the person.
• 5:42
  Do they have an idea of personal space?
• 5:44
  All of these things come down to not really knowing how to use
• 5:48
  your body and your body language correctly in a social
• 5:51
  convention. And this is a telltale sign for
• 5:53
  autism in girls. Now guys, if you're interested,
