• 0:00
  I'm discussing seven famous people who autism coming up.
• 0:04
  Okay, guys. Ah, I'm so pumped.
• 0:06
  I like did a video ages ago about like people who had like
• 0:09
  autism who are famous and it was really good.
• 0:11
  I love the video I had fun, but I feel like I wanted to do like
• 0:14
  more that I didn't cover then and there's been like way more
• 0:17
  that I've read about and found out about that.
• 0:20
  You know, I didn't even know existed that had autism it was
• 0:23
  super super crazy still here goes nothing here are seven
• 0:27
  celebrities or famous people who have Of autism that probably
• 0:30
  didn't even know. So the first one I'm super
• 0:32
  excited about was a guy called Satoshi Tajiri and he is the guy
• 0:38
  who created Pokemon now, he's been diagnosed with Asperger
• 0:41
  syndrome, which is what my diagnosis was and now it's
• 0:43
  changed to autism spectrum disorder not Asperger's
• 0:46
  Syndrome, but it's the same thing his colleagues have
• 0:49
  described them has been reclusive and eccentric.
• 0:51
  But the unreal brain is The Mastermind behind one of the
• 0:55
  highest grossing franchises of all time as we know as Pokémon.
• 0:58
  This is really interesting. Because Pokemon is like one of
• 1:01
  my favorite things ever a friend of mine.
• 1:03
  Anna Moomin who's also got a channel called animun.
• 1:06
  She is an autistic female and a YouTuber but she also was
• 1:10
  obsessed on is obsessive Pokemon and I love Pokemon, right and
• 1:13
  most of my friends who are on the Spectrum love Pokemon and
• 1:16
  it's really funny that the guy who created it is on the
• 1:18
  Spectrum. So it's like well, it makes
• 1:20
  sense that we'd all love Pokemon.
• 1:22
  I mean like that's super cool. Okay guys number two.
• 1:25
  This was a relatively new one but super impacting right now
• 1:29
  this Is Greta thunbergii now Greta is a an activist of
• 1:34
  climate activists from Europe. She is a killing it right now
• 1:38
  loads of activism. She just like sailed across like
• 1:41
  some ocean somewhere. It's like prove a point that you
• 1:43
  could do it and she said that she was using as religious as
• 1:46
  her superpower, which is awesome because we talked about on this
• 1:49
  channel with my last superhero fan base and like all that stuff
• 1:53
  is super super dope, but she's also leading the world climate
• 1:56
  change efforts to kind of Save the Planet this woman is just
• 2:00
  Unreal she's super young as well.
• 2:01
  I think she's like maybe like 1819 really influential.
• 2:04
  She's taking it like a boss you get loads of criticism and I
• 2:07
  think she's a very inspirational person definitely check it out.
• 2:10
  And if you'd like to see a video just on Greta Thunderbird, make
• 2:12
  sure to give this video a thumbs up so I can know if you want me
• 2:15
  to do a video just on heard. I'll be super super awsome.
• 2:18
  Okay number three is an interesting one because this
• 2:21
  came out about a year ago a guy called Chris Packham who is a
• 2:25
  very famous TV presenter a personality over here in the
• 2:28
  United Kingdom. And Chris is really into like
• 2:31
  Wildlife. I think like that think that his
• 2:33
  thing he like Wildlife documentaries and like nature
• 2:35
  and things like that. And so he does all that kind of
• 2:38
  stuff. But anyway, he came out as
• 2:39
  saying he had an Autism Spectrum diagnosis and it was really cool
• 2:42
  because like the country just greeted him with open arms.
• 2:45
  It was this fascinating experience and he does a lot of
• 2:48
  work with the national autistic Society who I also do some work
• 2:50
  with what you wear. This black truck behind me here
• 2:52
  is from and yeah, I think Chris is really cool guys doing a lot
• 2:55
  of cool stuff for the community and it's nice to see people in
• 2:59
  like You know big high of kind of a professional jobs like that
• 3:02
  on the Spectrum and you kind of helps you feel like you can
• 3:04
  achieve those goals, right? I think that's almost the only
• 3:06
  Role Models number four is Susan Boyle good old subo.
• 3:10
  So Susan Boyle if you don't know was a competition when it from
• 3:13
  something called X Factor, which was a British television show
• 3:16
  created by psycho media and it was aired on ITV, which is like
• 3:20
  a channel over here in the United Kingdom for years and
• 3:23
  years, you know people just thought super was super odd, and
• 3:26
  she was like a bit different from you know your average
• 3:28
  person and Yeah, I've been kind of Judge to her for what she did
• 3:31
  and her actions and stuff like that.
• 3:33
  But then it turns out that she said she had Asperger's syndrome
• 3:35
  and everyone was kind of like oh that's kind of makes sense why
• 3:37
  she's so kind of like uniquely quirky and all that kind of cool
• 3:40
  stuff. And yeah, she's just very
• 3:42
  inspirational because like she's a very very successful singer.
• 3:47
  She was like very focused on singing.
• 3:48
  She's got a fantastic voice and she worked really really hard.
• 3:51
  So again for young ladies, you know who are wanting to get into
• 3:54
  the creative aspects are on the Spectrum just like Susan Boyle -
• 3:57
  woman did it, you know, she's living the dream and she has
• 3:59
  that kind of Like Slumdog Millionaire like story to it.
• 4:03
  I think it's amazing and she's very influential.
• 4:05
  So thank you sue well for being super awesome.
• 4:07
  Okay guys number five. Very interesting.
• 4:10
  This one is Sir Anthony Hopkins. No Anthony Hopkins is an
• 4:15
  American actor and he was diagnosed with Asperger's
• 4:18
  Syndrome because his wife said something like she was trying to
• 4:21
  figure out who she was married to and he credits Asperger's
• 4:24
  syndrome when making him extremely Relentless and trying
• 4:27
  to get the stuff done in his work and He said he's unusually
• 4:31
  hard work and he says this is down to his autism spectrum
• 4:34
  condition. But he kind of empowers it man.
• 4:36
  In this case huge. It's like a Hollywood movie
• 4:38
  star. I mean just think about it.
• 4:39
  If you're on the Spectrum you want to get into acting there's
• 4:41
  nothing stopping you're holding you back.
• 4:43
  Certainly Hopkins done it very very well.
• 4:45
  And these guys are some of the biggest movies you'll ever see
• 4:48
  but he's a fantastic actor and this leads me to believe again
• 4:51
  that like people on the Spectrum have this ability to just excel
• 4:54
  at the things that they really liked or the hyper focus on are
• 4:57
  they love, you know, we all have achievements and this is I
• 5:00
  really want to get across that we all have the ability to do
• 5:03
  amazing things. And these are just examples.
• 5:06
  I mean, we're up to five right now and this is just amazing
• 5:09
  examples of amazing people who have an Autism Spectrum
• 5:12
  condition that is not letting it like stop them doing anything
• 5:15
  that they want to do. That's amazing.
• 5:16
  So yeah, definitely take note of that.
• 5:18
  Okay. So the next person on my list, I
• 5:20
  actually really enjoy their music and this woman is called
• 5:23
  Courtney Love Now call me love is an American singer and
• 5:27
  musician. She was actually famously known
• 5:29
  for Marie. Being Kurt Cobain all the late

  Kurt Cobain from the band Nirvana who very very big in the
• 5:34
  90s. Unfortunately coca beans
• 5:36
  deceased and then Courtney Love continued and to play music
• 5:40
  after their kind of, you know, upset so sad to hear that she
• 5:44
  was diagnosed at the age of nine and she struggled and she was
• 5:46
  like a really young girl. We think she has quite a
• 5:48
  traumatic life, but also having an Autism Spectrum diagnosis at
• 5:52
  9:00 with super interesting. She has a musical Talent.
• 5:55
  Obviously, she plays guitar. She like rocks out.
• 5:57
  She's very very creative and I think she says up She puts that
• 6:00
  down to being autistic like she has this really like really full
• 6:05
  mind of like creative things. I love that.
• 6:08
  I just love this whole creative aspect.
• 6:09
  It makes me just feel super warm and super welcomed in this I
• 6:12
  community and like, you know, you feel a part of it because I
• 6:15
  get passionate about stuff and I'm thinking I'm a girl so weird
• 6:17
  when I see other autistic people who get passionate about things.
• 6:20
  I'm just like yeah, dude, that's dope.
• 6:22
  I love it. So yeah Courtney Love amazingly
• 6:24
  inspirational and I just I know music is awesome herb and whole
• 6:28

• 6:31
  Okay guys number 7 and now this is the last one on my list and
• 6:34

  musician a very famous musician from the 70s.
