Does Jake Paul Have Autism? · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

  So does Jake Paul have Orton I'm thinking with quite a while and
• 0:05
  I first was thinking about this because two things happened
• 0:08
  here. Okay, Shane Dawson released a
• 0:10
  video inside the mind of Jake Paul calling basically like a
• 0:12
  psychopath and or a sociopath or something.
• 0:16
  But before that, I remember I sat and took a like a video
• 0:20
  course from Jake Paul on social about social media social media
• 0:23
  growth because he's like a very very wealthy entrepreneur.
• 0:26
  So the polls both of them Jake Paul and Logan Paul have very
• 0:29
  well. Healthy social media
• 0:31
  entrepreneurs do a very good job at doing that.
• 0:33
  So I want to learn more about how to you know, work and run
• 0:35
  social media businesses and things like that and he has a
• 0:39
  thing called influence which is like this program that he runs
• 0:42
  during that actual Edge fluent program.
• 0:44
  I was watching this and he discussed the fact that he had a
• 0:47
  DD in there, which is attention deficit disorder, which is like
• 0:51
  like ADHD without hyperactivity in it.
• 0:53
  But some people call the ADD but when it is ADHD, and so we've
• 0:57
  got it even has ADD, it's just you know, he has Some load
• 1:02
  Spectrum condition. He's already acknowledged right
• 1:05
  now. I found this very strange
• 1:07
  because he's super hyper active in every single video.
• 1:09
  You see movies like jumping off buildings on fire to cows and
• 1:12
  stuff. It's like, whoa, this guy's
• 1:13
  super hyper active which definitely shows he's got ADHD
• 1:17
  moving not just the EDD thing. He has ADHD, which is also
• 1:19
  comorbid with an Autism Spectrum condition.
• 1:22
  Now, the other thing is that he is like super smart and obsessed
• 1:26
  with numbers because one of the things that he was teaching us
• 1:28
  within this class is He would get his phone out and he'd go
• 1:33
  through like analytical data and he'd be obsessed with numbers
• 1:35
  even guess what his Figures were going to be for the next video
• 1:38
  is going to come out which is crazy.
• 1:39
  Like who does that but he was really into it and he could
• 1:42
  really dive into those numbers and he loved analytics again
• 1:46
  numbers and maths that are usually very common with people
• 1:49
  with an Autism Spectrum condition.
• 1:51
  And I found that very very interesting now the big one the
• 1:54
  big kicker was when Shane Dawson did his video on is, you know,
• 1:58
  the mind of Jake Paul is Jig polar sociopath and he got you
• 2:02
  know, a friend of my friends Kati Morton to go there and do
• 2:06
  this like assessment of Jay Paul and talk about his issues.
• 2:10
  But one of the things we did learn about Jake Paul is that he
• 2:14
  seems very secluded like he's very distant from his friends
• 2:18
  were watching this video. I realized that he he's very
• 2:21
  similar to myself when he's around his friends.
• 2:23
  He's not he doesn't really get all their social cues and jokes
• 2:27
  and stuff. He's kind of in his own way and
• 2:29
  a lot of This has been like narcissistic way.
• 2:31
  He has to be you know, he has to want all the glory in this Fame
• 2:35
  and this and this kind of like he loves to think feel like he's
• 2:37
  important when in actual fact he's doing this for like an
• 2:41
  entertainment value, but he's not really a narcissist but
• 2:44
  sometimes people say that people with an Autism Spectrum
• 2:47
  condition a narcissist when they're not just that they don't
• 2:49
  understand social conventions and social cues and things like
• 2:52
  that Jake Paul seemed to be very disconnected from that like
• 2:55
  version of reality as friends were living at the time and he
• 2:58
  was really focused. On like business skills and and
• 3:02
  social media management and things that were like to me I
• 3:05
  find these very very interesting because it's almost like his
• 3:08
  brain. He was way different with
• 3:09
  friends. He wasn't communicating the best
• 3:11
  way also a lot of times she was asking him questions.
• 3:13
  He didn't really know if she was asking the right question.
• 3:16
  You have some to repeat the question again, not really
• 3:19
  understanding what someone was saying.
• 3:20
  This is a high rank of for an issue with communication with
• 3:24
  some of the autism spectrum condition something else that I
• 3:27
  found very very interesting was that He has a difficult
• 3:33
  relationship with his brother a difficult relationship with his
• 3:34
  mom and dad and this shines through where he felt more
• 3:38
  comfortable to live, you know, a few states away from his mom and
• 3:41
  dad like today from Ohio and he moved to LA and he feels way
• 3:44
  more comfortable living in LA on his own in this huge house then
• 3:47
  being with his, you know his family in Ohio and he says in
• 3:50
  Italy is another Battleship with his parents Funeral For A number
• 3:54
  of different reasons now, he also had an issue with focusing
• 3:59
  in class. Classrooms he was talking about
• 4:01
  how when he was in school. The teachers are saying you
• 4:04
  never amount to anything and that they didn't really
• 4:05
  understand his needs but he was also a super clever guy and
• 4:08
  let's just face it if Jake was no good business management
• 4:12
  numbers and things like that. He would never be able to manage
• 4:14
  a multimillion-dollar social media Enterprise and to
• 4:18
  companies that the way he does, you know, he's very good at that
• 4:21
  and I think his brain engages in that in a certain way, which I
• 4:25
  would say was super common with somebody on the autism spectrum.
• 4:28
  He is very anxious. He has had low point in his life
• 4:32
  where he felt depressed. He displays traits of like OCD
• 4:36
  is so OCD you see him showing his like Ward robbers Closet in
• 4:42
  his house and everything is like super perfectly put away for a
• 4:45
  young guy who's jumping off buildings and certain stuff on
• 4:48
  fire and racing cars. You'd think that you'd have less
• 4:52
  of an organization to his stuff. Everything's like
• 4:54
  color-coordinated and issues in a certain way and all this kind
• 4:58
  of stuff and that leads me to believe Of that there could be
• 5:01
  an element of OCD that and I think hints on this a little bit
• 5:03
  as well. Also, the way he talks is very
• 5:06
  monotonal and he doesn't have much excitement in his voice
• 5:10
  unless he's acting which is what he does in his videos when he's
• 5:13
  being interviewed by Shane Dawson.
• 5:15
  He's very like calm and and his voice is very monotone.
• 5:19
  Also Jake find it really hard to keep down or relationship.
• 5:24
  He's been through a lot of women and there's always a drama with
• 5:27
  it, you know, and they always say that like like at the end of
• 5:29
  this. they can't deal with him because of the way he is and
• 5:32
  like they don't really gel with him and they and he's like
• 5:35
  possessive or whatever but these are all very much a an
• 5:39
  indication to say that you know, his brain is wired differently
• 5:43
  and that having an issue dealing with the way his brains by
• 5:45
  differently and I think it's because he understanding like if
• 5:47
  Jake doesn't understand himself then how on Earth is going to
• 5:50
  communicate that to anybody even if he has communication issues
• 5:53
  like if he has an Autism Spectrum Disorder now Jake Paul
• 5:56
  never touched on this, but did touch on the fact that you know,
• 6:00
  Is it another condition? He said, you know, could it be
• 6:01
  bipolar? Could it just be narcissism?
• 6:05
  Is it something else and you know Shane Dawson goes on and on
• 6:08
  about this for a while and I found this quite interesting
• 6:10
  that he never mentioned anything about autism and I was going to
• 6:13
  Tweet Jacob Atlas and Shane and say like hey, you know, do you
• 6:16
  think that you know, Jake could be on the Spectrum or even email
• 6:20
  Katie and say hey do you think it's a spectrum condition but
• 6:23
  nobody touched on this and I found that really bizarre that
• 6:25
  we touched on this and I Know It loads of people have a lot of
• 6:27
  hatred for Jake Paul and the polls in No, because of all the
• 6:30
  stuff they do in the stupidity that they come across with the
• 6:33
  end of the day, you know, they're very good entertainers
• 6:35
  that the big business guys and I feel like people need to cut
• 6:38
  them a little bit of slack if they have mental health
• 6:40
  conditions and I'll Logan just released a video on like holes
• 6:43
  in his brain or something and started why the behavior that
• 6:45
  he's got to where he is like his behavior is due to like there's
• 6:49
  holes in his brain or something that he's trying to mend.
• 6:51
  And again, I think we should take a step back and really look
• 6:54
  at people and non-judgmental and say that maybe you know, they
• 6:59
  have a condition that we need. I may not know of and if we if
• 7:01
  they do have a concern that we may not know of then we should
• 7:03
  be less judgmental on them and give them a little bit of a
• 7:05
  break.
