  to make sure to hit the subscribe button down below by

  clicking that notification bell. So Asperger syndrome, I'm going
• 1:02
  to start at the top. So Asperger Syndrome is not a
• 1:03
  term that's used anymore. Asperger syndrome was a term
• 1:06
  that was coined in the 1980s by Lana Wing, which reflects the
• 1:11
  work presented by Hans Asperger in 1942.
• 1:14
  Now this work was predominantly used, you know, on young boys to
• 1:18
  kind of come about the idea of autism and and other types of
• 1:22
  neurological conditions under the autism spectrum umbrella.
• 1:25
  But then in 2013, they realized that people diagnosed with
• 1:28
  Aspergers were were being left off helpless and wouldn't be
• 1:32
  able to get the support and help that they need because they
• 1:34
  didn't have the term autism in the diagnosis.
• 1:37
  So they put Asperger syndrome within the umbrella of autism
• 1:39
  spectrum disorder. And the same thing happened
• 1:41
  until the 19 that isdi think is our IDs, which is another kind
• 1:46
  of diagnostic criteria because the first one was at the SM5.
• 1:49
  So moving on from now on Earth is Asperger center.
• 1:51
  What does it mean? You might have heard Elon Musk
• 1:53
  talking about it and other people in Alveinstein and all
• 1:55
  stuff. Basically what it means is that
• 1:57
  it's people on the autism spectrum like myself who have
• 2:00
  lower support needs than somebody who may be nonverbal
• 2:04
  and unable to the bottom on their own, right.
• 2:06
  So you have with all of them spectrum.
• 2:08
  So it goes all the way from, like, people who can, you know,
• 2:10
  hold on a job and hold verbal conversations like I can, all
• 2:13
  the way to people who will need 24/7 care because they really
• 2:17
  need help with, like extreme executive function.
• 2:19
  Now, Asperger's syndrome, you know, has been around like it
• 2:22
  says, we know, since the 80s, and there's been hundreds and
• 2:24
  hundreds of people diagnosed Asperger's syndrome.
• 2:26
  I myself was diagnosed in 2013 just before they changed the
• 2:29
  nomenclature with Asperger's syndrome, which obviously is
• 2:32
  autism. Now, I'm going to leave some
• 2:34
  links down below if you're interested.
• 2:35
  And if you want my Autism Life Hacks PDF book, you can download
• 2:39
  it at autismhacks.net. But the interesting thing about
• 2:42
  Asperger's syndrome is common characteristics.
• 2:44
  People with Asperger's syndrome will typically have like a
• 2:46
  monotone type of talking voice. They'll be, well, consistent
• 2:48
  tone, and they will deviate that we know inflections on their
• 2:51
  voice, which is interesting. And a lot of people say that's
• 2:53
  kind of robotic, but, you know, I think it's just comfortable.
• 2:55
  People with Asperger's syndrome will have an obsessive interest
• 2:58
  in something usually quite intellectual.
• 3:00
  Could be something like trains to science to automotive
• 3:04
  industries, and those things become obsessions that they
• 3:07
  learn everything about and they'll become very, very
• 3:09
  knowledgeable in those areas, and they'll even become experts
• 3:11
  in those areas and sometimes probably work in those areas.
• 3:13
  Also, people with Asperger syndrome tend to have little to
• 3:16
  no social life, because if I had social interaction very hard,
• 3:19
  including eye contact, and they'd like to be more
• 3:21
  conservative and be home researching, studying and all
• 3:23
  that kind of stuff. Among other things, people with
• 3:26
  Asperger syndrome typically suffer from sensory processing
• 3:28
  disorder, meaning they're susceptible to doing types of
• 3:31
  stimuli from, you know, third party environments like sound
• 3:34
  and smell and taste and things like that.
• 3:36
  And this obviously impacts their ability to want to go out inside
• 3:39
  and do anything and also impact your ability to sleep properly.
• 3:42
  Also, they'll probably have a lot of sleep properly, which is
• 3:44
  really, really interesting. I think I gave 77 symptoms of
• 3:48

• 3:51
