Autism is an individual difference for each person who is Autistic. But what happens when you are Autistic and not welcome by Autism communities because you won’t follow their agendas or ideologies? You start your own. All I want to do, is share my perspective of my version of Autism, openly, honestly, and in many cases...vulnerably. I don’t just share the fun, happy, shiny and friendly. I share real life, and the difficulties of being diagnosed later in life.

Autism Tax is something that costs an Autistic person more in time, energy, effort and finances than those persons without Autism. It is something that is not considered as part of the PIP process in England, but the reality is that we have a higher cost of living for our accommodations.This video is me sharing some of mine. || SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL…

This (audio) video has been made due to the number of emails received talking of bad employers who don’t or won’t consider Reasonable Adjustments in the workplace. This (audio) video contains all of my live and current Reasonable Adjustments that I have with my employer. This is from the perspective of Autism, but will also apply to all recognised …

This has been made due to the number of emails received talking of bad employers who don't or won't consider Reasonable Adjustments in the workplace. This is a rough guide of what you need to consider and the action to take to begin this process. You are not wrong for needing them, and it is the bad employers that put a lot of Autistic people off f…

I haven't been around for 6 months, so please forgive me if I am rusty at this. I want nothing more than to be back sooner than later, but...health anxieties have the better of me, unfortunately. The audio extract from the video is from a request in which someone discussed how telling others about your late diagnosis of Autism...that the way they r…

I am in Autism Burn Out personally, yet also on the edge of hitting it professionally. It is a strange feeling to be going towards Burn Out from two different directions. I have done a video over on Patreon, a free video to explain my personal Burn Out, and this is talking about my Burn Out due to work. But the bottom line here is, I need to take b…

For many years, I struggled with putting myself or my needs first. Whenever I wanted to, I couldn't get past thinking I was being selfish. As the years went by and I slowly started taking better care of me and my needs, everyone around me disappeared as they were not getting the things they once were from me. Trying to see that you are important to…

At the time of recording, there is a news story where a man called Louis de Zoysa killed a Policeman, whilst in custody. All news outlets are reporting about this incident that took place in 2020, and all news outlets are stating that the defence for Louis de Zoysa was that he was in the middle of an 'Autistic Meltdown' during the incident.For thos…

The Blue Disability Badge is something I always remember from when I was younger being associated with persons with mobility impairments, but the badge also covers hidden disabilities such as Autism. However, the local councils website was not overly straightforward when it came to explaining this, or more so for me to explain why I feel I need a t…

Being Autistic and working from home for me is a perfect combination. But if you listen to some prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Alan Sugar, home workers are lazy and should be terminated from employment.This is one of the most short sighted views I have heard in a long time, especially when if anyone took the time to talk to Autistic Employ…

No outline for this audio, I just simply wanted to think out loud about my health anxieties and see if my Autism plays their part in them somewhere. I always knew I was fearful of being ill, but after really paying attention to it, I have probably only had around 6 months of not worrying about my health in the last 8 years, which is terrible to thi…

Talking for others is something I try to actively avoid, but this topic deserves to be acknowledged because people just don't seem talk about it. Sometimes, the Autistic mind is the square peg for the otherwise round world, and we don't fit into it. Early intervention is welcome, but there are a lot of people (including myself) who are diagnosed la…

Finding a space to be yourself does so much more than I think even we realise at times. Then to accept it is okay to have safe space and not consider judgement is even more important.The question I ask myself is 'would I even need a safe space if the world was more accommodating'...but then I remember it isn't, so I have a safe space! And yes, I ha…

I struggle when something doesn't makes sense. Then when something else doesn't make sense to go on top of the thing that already doesn't make sense, I am not sure what I am supposed to do with it. A bit like if you burn a cake when you make it to the point where it is inedible why would you then carry on decorating it instead of making a new one? …

Keep up a high level of operating and don't realise until it's too late...and then, Burnout. There isn't any chapters to help out with unfortunately, I just waffle for the entire video, and haven't even watched it back to see if I make any sense as I don't like seeing myself where I am not doing too good. But as always, I will share the good, the b…

After Xmas and New Year, it all starts again. For some reason, the more time I spend away from the world I exist in, the harder it is to go back. I don’t know if it because I am getting older, or if it is because I try to live in a world I prefer which is away from general day to day life that exists outside my front door.I don’t really make a poin…

We change and our surroundings change, then we are forced to adapt. Since I was diagnosed with Autism, I have done nothing if not obsess over the diagnosis. Trying to see if it was my doing or if was out of my control over the way life and interactions with others has gone. I have changed a lot since then to the person I am today. I haven't finishe…

I have always wondered why people look to 'cure' Autism when it isn't possible. For a cure, there needs to be an identified negative ailment that requires remedy. That does not describe Autism. But as much as I have been happy to sit back and find all the different types of 'cure' amusing, the direction Autism 'cures' has now taken has given me a s…

After an interaction with a few young single gentlemen who were looking for love on the Autism pages on Reddit, I asked 'what do you write in a dating profile?'. One answer was 'women don't date Autistic men, prove me wrong'. Now, not to speak for the opposite sex here but, I'm pretty sure that isn't going to work. After multiple obscenities thrown…

After around 17 months of making weekly videos (more so at times), I have decided to take a break from making videos for a while. A weekly video is tough when you try to be original! I could easily knock out the generic ones, but if I cannot affix a story or explanation to it, there isn't much point without context. With many videos brings the nays…

There is a lot of focus on what causes Autism, and not enough when it comes to what to do with it. It's been this way for years, with no signs of slowing down. The problem is, we are still not getting anywhere, so what needs to change? I think I have figured it out... || SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL || Paypal: https://paypal.me/AdultwithAutism Patreon: htt…

It's currently too hot to do videos, so this will have to do! I am going on holiday, and it's not an enjoyable time leading up to it...basically I cannot relax until I am in the hotel room away from everything. But, I need a scene of scenery. The question is...what to do, when everything I love is within my four walls back home? || SUPPORT THIS CHA…

Hopefully this audio comes across light hearted as intended. All I can do is offer a perspective over where difficulties lie for me. Cannot speak for everyone, not rude enough to think I can.

A very unfortunate case of a person with Autism who never stood a chance who made some horrific and unforgivable decisions. Would this have happened with love, care and support? We'll never know. That said, this video isn't about that, it is about how with a more public eye now in play with UK courts now allowing cameras to film final stages of cri…

When you type in 'signs of Autism' on the internet, there are hundreds of thousands of pages saying the same things, but are they accurate? The problem if they are not is, it doesn't help people self-diagnose accurately, and the next generation of Autism Specialists will be misinformed...meaning the cycle of poor information about Autism carries on…

Sorry for the blurred face, but the camera decided the microphone was more photogenic to focus on for the video. Must be sick of looking at me by now. This video is an addition to the first video where I talk about 6 Potential Signs of Undiagnosed Autism in Adults. It had good feedback overall, so thought I would add to it. If this does well, I wil…

It isn't nice to think there are Autistic people out there who don't think they can achieve a state of mind that is anything other than one or worry, anxiety or negativity. So I wanted to try and split my age groups through the years to see what I thought brought me happiness, and figure out whether I have found happiness today. And really hope it …

I wasn't going to upload this due to having a foggy mind blocking my clarity to think or speak clearly. I lose my train of thought often, and am not very engaging...even writing this I am struggling to find the words I need! But, welcome to my ever-changing Autism...and lack of sleep! Despite this, it is an important topic to cover, as I am not the…

The perspective for this is through 'perfect world' glasses, I know some of these aren't going to be considered any time soon. But there are too many articles proportioning blame to Autistic people as to why we are not in the workforce, rather than focusing on what stops us. Bullying, ostracising, no consideration for a difference, NT expectations,…

James Watt is the chief of BrewDog and was accused of alleged Toxicity and predatory behaviour in the workplace, and made unwanted advances on women in the company. Allegedly. Now, if you look at news stories, he is trying to link a potential Autism diagnosis to the reason he has been toxic...to the parts he is admitting to anyway. I don't like thi…

Hitting a stereotypical Autism topic...the Special Interest. I didn't think I had one, until the time has come where I am going to be without it...and it has created all sorts of anxieties and the feeling of being lost. But as always, I need to find a control measure for adverse situations, albeit some of my ideas were bonkers. || SUPPORT THIS CHAN…

It's funny as we all seem to have something we dislike with the condition we are born with. For some it is the symbol to identify with, the colour to represent Autism. Identity first language vs. Person first etc. And then here I am, having a hatred for the official term of diagnosis. Who would have thought... Just an opinion as always. || SUPPORT …

I have a naturally low mood. My default mood is never in neutral, so I have to do things and remind myself of things in order to try and improve it. As always, I just thought I'd share.

Money means something different to each of us, but in my experience the less interest you have in chasing it, the more negative the response from others. Many things determine where the drive and interest comes in money, but I am not sure if my entire outlook is driven by my upbringing, or if it is also Autism linked...who knows? || SUPPORT THIS CH…

This is hopefully the last Butterfly Effect video. The whole process has led to this video being made, was all down to a lack of consideration over my Autism by others.

Originally recorded during my time off from work when I was off with stress. I never released it as I felt embarrassed for feeling as low as I did. But, that is kind of the point of low mental health, you never feel good or worth anything.

This will offend some, but that is the point I guess...I cannot be myself without being offensive! So if you do get offended, I don't need to know as I won't apologise for being me.

To be clear, I don't feel guilty for having Autism. I just so happen to like my Autism, but there are moments and times in life where I feel guilty that my Autism is the obvious reason why there is a difference.
