  autism and eczema. All that's coming up.
• 0:13
  Hey guys, welcome back to the aspy world.
• 0:15

• 0:38
  guys. What's going on?
• 0:39
  Welcome back to the Ashby world, where we think differently
• 0:41
  daily. What's up, different thinkers?
• 0:43
  Hope you guys are having a great day and a great time.
• 0:46
  So I actually have eczema as well.
• 0:49
  I actually have aggravated eczema and I have something
• 0:51
  called dysodrotic eczema. Both are really annoying and
• 0:55
  painful, and my little fingers getting a killing right now, so
• 0:57
  I'm going to go put some cream on it.
• 0:59
  But regardless of those things I thought that there would be a
• 1:03
  good idea because autism has comorbid conditions which means
• 1:07
  Co occurring or as well as like ADHD and dyslexia, dyspraxia and
• 1:12
  all these things kind of come Co occurring with autism.
• 1:15
  I thought, well, eczema comes with autism quite often and I
• 1:21
  thought it would be a really good one because if there's a
• 1:23
  lot of people out there suffering, this may be able to
• 1:25
  help you. So, and if not, maybe you could
• 1:26
  pass this on somebody who does suffer with X-Men autism and
• 1:29
  this would be super cool. So before we get started guys,
• 1:31
  make sure you've downloaded my free Autism Life Hacks PDF book.
• 1:35
  You can get that at autismhacks.net right now.
• 1:38
  Completely free. You're awesome.
• 1:41
  OK, guys, so let's go through my list here.
• 1:45
  Actually, I've written all three things here.
• 1:47
  I guess there's going to be more.
• 1:48
  So if you think that, hey, Dan, I've got another one that you
• 1:51
  didn't mention, then just pop it in a comment down below.
• 1:53
  I read every single comment, so it's never wasted.
• 1:56
  So pop it in a comment, Let's have a conversation.
• 1:58
  You're amazing. And yeah, boom, let's get on
• 2:01
  with this one, right. So the first one I want to talk
• 2:04
  about is using moisturizer daily.
• 2:06
  Now it may seem like a OK it's a bit of a an odd thing to do or a
• 2:10
  bit of a self kind of like vanity thing to do.
• 2:11
  But a huge obvious must is to use moisturizer on your body and
• 2:16
  all the parts are most affected by eczema daily and this will
• 2:19
  help reduce the impact. Now a lot of people only just
• 2:21
  put moisturizer on the affected areas when the affected areas
• 2:24
  are getting a bit out of hand, which this doesn't really do
• 2:26
  much, it actually just masks the the issue.
• 2:29
  It doesn't keep on top of it. It just kind of short term kind
• 2:32
  of caps it, right. But what you're wanting is long
• 2:34
  term effects. So long term effect is that if
• 2:37
  you can reduce the amount of eczema kind of spread or
• 2:42
  irritation on your skin and the long term effect is going to be
• 2:44
  that you're not going to have eczema for that long.
• 2:46
  Now the better way to do this is to get a cream like dipper base
• 2:50
  or something like E45 or something similar to actually
• 2:54
  use on your skin. Now you can use a 1%
• 2:56
  hydrocortisone, but definitely speak with your medical
• 2:59
  consultants first, like your doctor or your physician,
• 3:01
  because I don't want you guys put something skin and then say
• 3:04
  Dan told you it's not my fault. I'm just giving advice here from
• 3:07
  what I'm doing now by doing moisturizer daily, it helps keep
• 3:11
  your skin completely moisturized, which stops it
• 3:14
  drying out and stuff that like eczema cracking and it stops the
• 3:16
  red itchiness as well, which is absolutely fantastic.
• 3:19
  So moisturizing daily helps keep those cracks away.
• 3:23
  Okay. So #2 is something that it
• 3:25
  doesn't affect everybody, but it does make a huge difference.
• 3:28
  So just try it. This one is milk allergies.
• 3:31
  Now, a lot of the time eczema can be caused by milk and having
• 3:35
  a milk allergy, so it can be reduced by cutting out dairy
• 3:38
  from your diet. And this is like a huge common
• 3:41
  problem. And you know, I I don't really
• 3:44
  have milk allergies because I am vegan and I don't know that I
• 3:49
  have any milk milk allergies, but I did stop dairy products
• 3:52
  because I'm vegan, obviously. And so because of this, I
• 3:57
  actually realized that not having milk has given me less
• 4:00
  irritation and eczema kind of all around my body.
• 4:02
  It doesn't stop eczema completely, but it definitely
• 4:04
  stops the impact and reduced it like a lot, like about 90%
• 4:08
  reduced it, it's crazy. So, so let's keep in mind.
• 4:10
  So it's a bear in mind and something to think about kind of
• 4:14
  long term, like maybe it's something that you'll try, maybe
• 4:16
  just try for a week, maybe it'll work, maybe it doesn't.
• 4:18
  And if it does work, then I've just saved you years of aggro.
• 4:22
  But if it doesn't work, then hey, it was worth a try.
• 4:25
  What's it stopped? It stopped you having milk for a
• 4:27
  week. But I highly recommend trying it
• 4:29
  for a week because a week will give you a good time frame to
• 4:32
  test this out. So yeah, checking out.
• 4:34
  OK, so #3 is the gloves. Now, in cold weather, eczema
• 4:39
  increases because the cold weather brings with it wind and
• 4:43
  the cold weather and the wind will crack out your skin, which
• 4:45
  is what's happening to my finger right now because it's November
• 4:49
  when I'm filming this video, and so it's cracking up my skin and
• 4:53
  all of this is going on. And so because of that, it's
• 4:56
  actually giving me really bad eczema.
• 4:58
  So I was thinking, how am I going to overcome this?
• 5:00
  How am I going to? So I tested something out.
• 5:02
  I wore gloves outside every when I was outside going for a walk
• 5:05
  or running or whatever. I put gloves on and just normal
• 5:09
  winter gloves. And those normal winter gloves
• 5:11
  actually stopped that cold, cold wind hitting my skin and
• 5:16
  cracking my skin with the cold. So much so that it it actually
• 5:22
  just highly reduced it and made it so much easier.
• 5:25
  So because of that, I recommend wearing gloves anything anytime
• 5:29
  you're out in public when you're in the cold weather.
• 5:33
  Because if you're outside, you're exposed to the elements,
• 5:35
  your hands are going to crack up, your face might crack up or
• 5:37
  whatever you get eczema is going to crack up.
• 5:39
  So it's better to cover it up, save those hands and arms and
• 5:43
  whatever getting cracked up for the winter.
• 5:45
  So those three are amazing and they do work.
• 5:48
