Blog autism Videos

my childhood was hell. makes so much sense now. interaction with people in general has been a life long chore.

Yeah right u dumb bitch. There was a man with autism at my old job. Manual fuckin labor 12 hours a fuckin day. He would work lived by his lonesome & never asked for a crutch like u. White people have severe mental diseases like pretending they have one

I seriously thought I was the only person who couldn't be touched....

Thanks very much for your video. It's important to show that people like us our out there, unassuming and misdiagnosed with mental health. Assumed to be cold when we aren't but it's sensory. I've experienced similar. We'll keep talking about it. thanks again

I was diagnosed with High Functioning autism in September 2013, at the age of 47. I always knew I was different, I never mixed at school I had very few if any friends. I had no close friends. Also when I started a Computer Programming course in my early 20’s a Tutor commented that I had a gift that a programmer with 30 years’ experience would struggle with. I never quite understood what he meant I just did what I did naturally. I have always worked autonomously. I worked at Heart of England NHS Trust for 12 years I was made redundant in January 2015. They decided they no longer wanted to support my autism. This is the longest I had spent in work typically I would last no more than two years. In the NHS I was doing really well and I had always worked autonomously and I was employed in this job because of the ‘exceptional’ skills that I possessed. That was until a new manager took over and decided to mess things up for me. I was being bullied. All of a sudden I was not being allowed to do my job as I have always done which caused me huge anxiety and stress. They even tried to get me involved in some dodgy practise which if I got caught I would have gone to prison. Because I refused to do this request, because I valued my own personal liberty more, my life was made hell. Before I came off sick I spent the previous 3 months working in a cupboard. I suffered a nervous breakdown. I was off work for twelve months. It was during this time that I was officially diagnosed with High Functioning Autism. When I look back over my life the signs were there but they were never picked up by the welfare people. For instance I did not start talking until I was nearly 4 years old. The NHS where I worked ignored advice from Occupational Health and my GP on how to support my autism. It was as though they did not want to recognise my autism. The management kept referring me to Occupational Health hoping for a different answer but it came back the same. They even gave the management a detailed explanation about autism, but they ignored it. The management even tried to get a doctor to question my diagnosis. All I wanted was to work the way I have always worked. I was made redundant instead. I am still trying to get might life back on track. The experience has knocked my confidence a lot and I am back to how I used to be in that I do not trust people. Hopefully, I will soon get back in to work and with an employer that will accept me for the way I am.

I was diagnosed at 29. I'm still struggling with understanding and accepting parts of who I am. How I feel and think. Id be happy to chat and share. I have some videos talking about how things feel for me. Would welcome input and topics. Thank you. Happy thoughts to you. 

Kids can smoke pot, goddamn! What The Fuck has This World Come Too. And I know it is for medical purposes, but c'mon there has to be a better alterantive. Right?

Does the medical marijuana help ?

I am so glad that Steph sent me your way. I just want to reach through the screen and give you a HUGE HUG!!! I know we just "met" but I want to tell you I love you and that there are people who do understand. I have tears in my eyes because I hear in your voice the love and pain and frustration and the uncertainty and the wanting to do what is right but not knowing what exactly that is and the exhaustion but still always the love for your sons. I can't wait to get to know you better.

You sound like a S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom to me :) Love this video! Have the same shirt too. Must be an A.S.G.O. member :) Me too! I'd really enjoy meeting you at one of the upcoming events. Take Care !
