  Okay guys, welcome back to the ASPI world.
• 0:33
  Super awesome. I wanted to do this video for a
• 0:34
  while now and I wanted to just talk about some of the cool
• 0:38
  Youtubers who I've kind of like found.
• 0:41
  And I've kind of. I've listed out five Youtubers
• 0:43
  here who are on the autism spectrum, but I've also got one
• 0:48
  kind of they're not on the autism spectrum, but it's.
• 0:53
  Anyway, I've got a 6th one, which is kind of really
• 0:56
  impressive to me and I just wanted to put that in there
• 0:58
  anyway, right? Okay.
• 0:59
  So what is going on with you guys?
• 1:01
  I love each and everybody thank you for tuning into this video.
• 1:04
  If you notice any other Youtubers that I haven't
• 1:07
  mentioned in this video who are on the autism spectrum that you
• 1:10
  didn't know people probably wouldn't know about, please pop
• 1:12
  them in a down below because I read and respond to every single
• 1:15
  comment and that would be super awesome.
• 1:17
  OK guys, straight into it. So the first one and this kind
• 1:20
  of surprised me but I found out about this person because they
• 1:24
  reached out to me and I were really good friends but they
• 1:27
  were on a live stream I was doing on my Instagram account.
• 1:29
  Oh FYI if you want to go for me on Instagram, my Instagram
• 1:32
  handle will be around here somewhere and you can go check
• 1:34
  me out on Instagram. I do videos on there pretty much
• 1:36
  every day too so I'll be awesome.
• 1:37
  Anyway, I was on Instagram Live and this person popped up and
• 1:41
  they were talking to me and they just like, hey, I'm on the
• 1:44
  Spectrum 2, this is awesome. I love watching videos and
• 1:46
  they're basically a subscribe reminder.
• 1:47
  Then we got talking now with friends.
• 1:49
  This person is Tay Zonday. Now Tay is the guy who everyone
• 1:54
  remember from the song Chocolate Rain.
• 1:57
  He did that song Chocolate Rain and that was a terrible
• 2:00
  impression. I'm so sorry.
• 2:01
  There was a terrible impression of the Chocolate Ring song.
• 2:03
  He did the chocolate Ring that song, and that just was like,
• 2:06
  crazy viral. I was one of, like, the first
• 2:07
  Veen viral songs I've ever even heard about.
• 2:10
  But today's a super awesome guy. We're going to do a video
• 2:13
  together at some point in the next, like, bazillion years.
• 2:18
  But he's such a busy guy. I'm super busy.
• 2:20
  It's really difficult to like, kind of match up and get videos
• 2:22
  out. But nevertheless, he's on the
• 2:24
  spectrum, super interesting. And he kind of, like, popped up
• 2:27
  on my Instagram and was like, hey, how's it going?
• 2:30
  Like he was just kind of interacting with my Instagram
• 2:33
  video. And I said to him because it was
• 2:34
  live, I said, hey, recognize that name?
• 2:36
  And I was like, oh, you Chocolate Rain Games.
• 2:37
  Like, yeah, yeah, so that need DM me And then we'd be like
• 2:40
  WhatsApp in. Since then I actually send him a
• 2:42
  WhatsApp see how he's doing because he's such a cool guy and
• 2:44
  I wanted to just like reach out and say hi now and then.
• 2:49
  But anyway, he's a really cool guy but on the spectrum, super
• 2:51
  cool and kind of really, I've got such a buzz off knowing that
• 2:54
  because I was like, wow, people don't even know.
• 2:56
  You know people see Chocolate Rain and it's good fun.
• 2:59
  But never think. Hey, that guys on the spectrum.
• 3:01
  Really interesting guy. Super cool dude.
• 3:03
  Hey, awesome. OK guys, the next one is a girl
• 3:06
  called Sarah Mills. Now Sarah or Sarah?
• 3:09
  Sorry, I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
• 3:10
  Sara is that's Sarah. Weird, isn't it?
• 3:13
  Other not dyslexia rules. So Sarah Mills, she did a video
• 3:18
  basically saying, like, hey, it's a video I want to do for a
• 3:20
  very long time. She's a YouTube.
• 3:22
  She has quite a few subscribers. I think she's like in her
• 3:26
  thousands since you got a few 100,000 subscribers.
• 3:29
  And so she did a video all about basically coming out and saying,
• 3:33
  hey, I'm autistic and you know, she's got 271,000 subscribers.
• 3:37
  So she's did a video all about like, how I realized I was
• 3:39
  autistic in my diagnosis story. She's super cool, actually.
• 3:42
  She's got like tattoos all over and she's kind of a bit like
• 3:44
  edgy you looking, but her channel's pretty interesting.
• 3:47
  She does like typical YouTube stuff, a bit of vlogs, but it
• 3:50
  kind of like a you know why I've moved here moving vlogs just
• 3:55
  like info video I guess. She does a varied range of
• 3:58
  content, but what I found most interesting is that she is
• 4:02
  female and it's nice to see females coming out on like
• 4:06
  YouTube and saying hey I'm you know, on the spectrum and blah
• 4:10
  blah blah. So I will leave a link for
• 4:11
  everyone I'm mentioning in the description down below, just in
• 4:14
  case you don't already know about these people.
• 4:17
  They're super awesome and they're all really good and they
• 4:19
  do a lot of work. So having that said, let's move
• 4:22
  on to the next person. So this is a video I came across
• 4:25
  when I was looking for other autistic YouTube creators to
• 4:27
  mention in a video that I was doing before.
• 4:30
  And this is really interesting because this person isn't an
• 4:32
  autistic YouTube creator, as in they don't make autistic
• 4:35
  content, but they are autistic. So this person is RHIANN.
• 4:40
  I think it's all Ryan, Ryan, Finn.
• 4:44
  Her name is with a pH and she's really, really awesome.
• 4:47
  She's an American girl who does like vlogs.
• 4:49
  Typical beauty video, just killing it right now on YouTube.
• 4:52
  Really awesome. Great content and really
• 4:53
  relatable. But she's dead down to earth and
• 4:56
  she put a video out doing the same thing as like, Sarah Mills
• 4:58
  did. She came out and said, like,
• 5:00
  hey, I'm on the autism spectrum, how cool is that?
• 5:03
  And just spoke about it. And that was like, that blew my
• 5:07
  mind. I was like, whoa, you know, it's
• 5:09
  so cool seeing, like, you know, young awesome females coming
• 5:12
  forward and just saying, like, hey, diagnose autism.
• 5:14
  Super empowering. Yeah, super, super awesome.
• 5:17
  But you definitely check out the channel.
• 5:18
  I'll leave a link from below if you don't already follow these
• 5:20
  people, but you probably do because like I said, these
• 5:22
  people are very famous Youtubers.
• 5:23
  All right, the next one I'm going to talk about.
• 5:25
  So the next one here is Zach James.
• 5:28
  Now, Zach James is actually a friend of mine and he runs the
• 5:31
  YouTube channel Yo Mama. And they do loads of like, yo
• 5:34
  Mama jokes and like a cartoon animation style thing.
• 5:36
  Very big channel. I think there are like 5 million
• 5:38
  subscribers. Crazy good, really nice guy.
• 5:42
  Got really long hair and a beard.
• 5:43
  So he's in my gang. No, but he's a really cool guy.
• 5:46
  We did a video together on my channel, which I will leave in a
• 5:49
  link above here somewhere. And but Zach James recently
• 5:53
  wanted to, you know, talk to his audience and address the fact
• 5:55
  that he, you know, has a diagnosis of autism directly to
• 5:58
  his fans because again, he'd seen my videos.
• 6:01
  And it's really funny how I know him.
• 6:02
  One of my fans, Melissa, she reached out to me saying, hey,
• 6:06
  Zach James was on the spectrum and then reached out to him
• 6:08
  saying, hey, I watched this guy called Dan who's an autistic
• 6:11
  YouTube career. And I mean Zach just kind of
• 6:13
  like, I think we just started damning on Instagram.
• 6:15
  And now we know each other. We're good friends.
• 6:16
  But yeah, Zach's a really interesting guy.
• 6:18
  He does some really funny videos and everyone else, what your
• 6:21
  Mama channel is. I mean, if you don't, then you
• 6:23
  must have been hiding under a rock for the past, like, 10
• 6:26
  years. But super awesome.
• 6:28
  Cool guy. Right?
• 6:31
  On to the next one. I don't know.
• 6:32
  I'm doing this. Oh also guys, I'm like halfway
• 6:35
  through I'm on my 8th day of looking after a Tamagotchi.
• 6:37
  I'm trying to see how long I can keep a single live for and to
• 6:40
  follow this story, go over and check my Instagram and give me a
• 6:44
  follow on there because that is where I'm keeping up to date
• 6:46
  with it. So yeah, gotta feed the little
• 6:48
  bugger. You know?
• 6:48
  That's all crazy out of Cyber pet, isn't it?
• 6:50
  Look at this tamagotchis. And this is a new one.
• 6:52
  Look how small it is. This is like a release of the
• 6:53
  20th anniversary. Anyway, back to the video,
• 6:55
  right? So the next one I'm going to
• 6:57
  talk about Now this is the, this is the fifth one we're talking
• 7:00
  about, but it's it's not the last person I'm going to talk
• 7:02
  about. And this one is quite an
• 7:03
  interesting one, right. So there is, it was weird
• 7:06
  because the YouTube channel is about the person who's on the
• 7:08
  spectrum. But you probably would not
• 7:11
  really realize that there is a TV show called the Jersey Shore,
• 7:15
  which was a huge, huge success for MTV back in like the mid
• 7:18
  2000s, like 2008, like 2012 or something.
• 7:21
  Anyway, the Jersey Shore for the the cast members around living
• 7:24
  in this house and they just did like just hung out.
• 7:27
  I think they're like early early 20s, you know, or mid 20s, you
• 7:31
  know, people just hanging out and doing their thing, living
• 7:32
  their life and they're really funny and quite entertaining.
• 7:34
  People from Jersey. Anyway, one of the characters on
• 7:37
  there, a girl called Jenny, whose nickname is Jay.
• 7:39
  Wow, she has a son called Grayson.
• 7:42
  Now, Grayson is on the autism. Now, J Wow's YouTube channel is
• 7:45
  super awesome, and she's got like, a ton of subscribers on
• 7:47
  them. She's close to 1,000,000 as
• 7:48
  well. And J Wow actually does a lot
• 7:51
  with her son on the YouTube channel.
• 7:53
  So a lot of people don't know anybody on Jersey Shore has any
• 7:56
  affiliation with with Autism, but J.
• 7:59
  Wow directly has because her son Grayson's on the spectrum, and
• 8:02
  it's really cool. J Wow is a really cool mom.
• 8:04
  They're really good. They're really good with the
• 8:06
  kids, and they do a lot to help Grayson out, and it shows in
• 8:10
  their videos, which I think is really, really nice.
• 8:12
  But again, it was something quite interesting.
• 8:13
  And I've seen all the Jersey Show episodes because like it's
• 8:16
  just on, you know, you just have it on the TV, like and it's just
• 8:19
  like junk TV. But when you watch it, you've
• 8:21
  never think like, Oh yeah, you've never associated Jr. with
• 8:23
  someone on the autism spectrum. But of course it's her son who's
• 8:25
  on the spectrum. So it's kind of like son is a
• 8:28
  YouTube because he's part of their family vlogs and that's
• 8:30
  what they do. They do family vlogs.
• 8:32
  But of course, it's kind of like a side note.
• 8:35
  He's a side character in the vlogs.
• 8:36
  But Grayson? Yeah, awesome.
• 8:38
  Super cool. Actually, I highly recommend
• 8:39
  checking out her videos because they're really, really
• 8:41
  interesting and kind of like family life.
• 8:42
  Her family life from her perspective, but also growing
• 8:45
  up, having a child, growing up with autism in the house.
• 8:48
  Very interesting. Similar to my friend ASA from
• 8:50
  Fathering autism. Similar kind of channel thing
• 8:52
  but not focused around just autism like Aces channel is more
• 8:55
  like, right guys So this is the bonus one I wanted to check in
• 8:58
  there and this one is I think it's still spectrum disorder but
• 9:01
  it's someone who I was just like kind of like whoa.
• 9:03
  I didn't even realize this when when I said it.
• 9:06
  Now when I was in LA last year for Vidcon I was hanging out
• 9:09
  with like Jake Paul and and a bunch of other creators.
• 9:12
  I knew what Jake Paul had ADD, right?
• 9:13
  And and obviously he has ADD because have you seen the guys
• 9:16
  videos and he's a nice guy and we hung out and talked talk,
• 9:19
  spoke about a bunch of different things.
• 9:20
  But the ADD thing really got me and I was like wow, you know
• 9:23
  Jake Paul ADD, it kind of explains a lot and it's kind of
• 9:25
  cool to see people who are that big and very influential on the
• 9:29
  platform having a condition like that that you can relate to,
• 9:32
  right. So also guys, if you think this
• 9:36
  video is cool and it could help inspire somebody, please share
• 9:38
  it. Sharing is caring and I love
• 9:40
  that. And while we're at it, if you
• 9:41
  want to do a virtual hug with me because I know I can't hug each
• 9:44
  and every one of you guys when it gives you a thumbs up, it's
• 9:46
  kind of like a virtual hug. Super awesome.
• 9:49
  OK, so if we rewind to 2018 Vidcon, I was actually hanging
• 9:53
  out with Colleen Ballinger, and at the time she was pregnant,
• 9:57
  but I didn't know that because she hadn't gone public with it.
• 9:59
  And Colleen's really nice. She was there with a whole
• 10:00
  entourage and never had a good time.
• 10:02
  We were in a party together and it was really good time.
• 10:05
  So me and Colleen hung out and she's really cool.
• 10:07
  But that leads me on to the next thing, Colleen Ballinger, which
• 10:11
  is Miranda Sings. She has ADD, which is super
• 10:15
  cool. She actually spoke about this in
• 10:16
  a vlog recently when they were talking about different things
• 10:18
  they were doing. And she spoke about having ADD.
• 10:21
  And I was just like blown away. My mind was like, whoa, like,
• 10:23
  you know, claim balance is ADD. Then I was thinking that like,
• 10:27
  lots and lots of people who are Youtubers have either ADD or
• 10:30
  autism. And I'm thinking goodness me,
• 10:32
  like the spectrum also must accommodate for the creative
• 10:35
  capacity to be a YouTuber. And that is why there's so many
• 10:38
  youtubers who are on the spectrum and like have ADD and
• 10:40
  stuff and I just find that absolutely just mind blowing.
• 10:44
  I will leave a link for all of these people in the description
• 10:47
  below so please check them out. And there's a bunch of other
• 10:49
  cool stuff in the description below if you want to check it
• 10:51
  out as well. So guys, well further ado.
• 10:52
  I will see you next time.
