exactly!!!

This is almost 100% true but there’s this other episode with autistic people and another is with disabled people with a variety of disabilities included. There’s also one with people who have Down’s syndrome. There’s probably some that I haven’t seen too.

I have autism and this was interesting to me haha

I absolutely love the autism community, everyone is just rlly wholesome

yasssss that's so true

i’d be giggling

yeah me too

People actually do that. Yes had a ex ‘friend’ who faked being autistic yet was non stop talking on the phone. Me actually diagnosed autistic was quiet as a mouse (literally) she innitiated the conversations first and call not me. I only call a lot if your my closest (which is my bff) or my parents, cousins.

Look at the you g gen z peeops who think faking disorders is ok.

you dont have to pretend. just be yourself.

They know themselves very well. It's a gift to admit when you genuinely don't know something

I can tell who is autistic, but as I am.

throw a bunch of ppl who cant read ppl and 1 person who can tg and see of they can spot the person who can

​@@andrewhennessy620 "can't read people" is a bit generalizing I think. While it's true that many autistic have trouble reading facial expressions or nonverbal cues, it's often not that hard to identify other autistic people. That might have something to do with the Double Empathy Problem, a theory that communication deficits in autistic people are actually communication deficits between autistic and non-autistic people, and it's easier for two autistic people to communicate with each other. The thing with FASD is that it presents very similar to autism, so I'm not surprised Amy has autistic friends.

Lol.

That is exactly how it felt for us. We were all bonding with mutual experience.

Come to think of it, I literally did forget 😂. It was just such an uplifting experience, and Darius I think you might agree too!

Well there was no voting or eliminations or prize, so it wasn't really a game to begin with anyway.

@thevoidsvoice why is it not an insult? Listen, some of us have actually gone through narcissistic abuse (me, for example). When you say narcissistic isn’t an insult, you’re saying that the reason narcissists abuse people isn’t a bad thing.

@@CAC1Aimer I think they mean that narcissistic shouldn't be used as an insult because it's not like a bad personality trait but a personality disorder and a serious diagnosis, people who aren't likeable or show a strong personality, a lot of confidence or are a bit dominant aren't always narcissistic

Better at masking, but the co-morbidities are worse lmao No but interesting theory, I wonder if there are studies on this.

@@MauriceGuccitheory? That’s just a fact

Sad but true. I have OCD but haven't been formally diagnosed, though I have been treated for it in the last year. I've known I have it for decades and disclosed it to my manager about a year ago. She's been SO supportive, but she told my other manager (with my consent), who doesn't get it at all and doesn't believe I have it because she has heard about me being able to do certain things, like go certain places for hobbies. I just hide it well, but once I tell some people I have it, they're like, "I've seen you do (a compulsion) before, so that makes sense." I feel like people are learning more about certain diagnoses, like ASD and ADHD, but there's still so much stigma and misunderstanding about ones like OCD.

I dont like the people then chose. It makes it seem like all us austsitc persons are ret@rds. Im an aspergers autistic person, or a "High-functioning" autistic person since you apparently can't say aspergers anymore. I also have ADHD. But even if i have all these "disadvantages," i still happen to have a WAY above average IQ, and i can pretty comfortably blend in with normal humans. I usually don't tell people about my conditions as it usually makes them treat me like im some ret@rd. And i think thats because when people think of autism they think about people like the people in this video so that's why i think they should have put in some people like me to show we all aren't ret@rds. Also, as i side note, i think self diagnosis is a very harmful thing as it is almost allways incorrect and is harmful.

I agree with that a lot, in school I was made fun of a lot and bullied but everyone was nice to the autistic kid as I guess it wasn’t acceptable to be mean to him?

Thank you and the other participants for representing us so well

I loved hearing yours and the rest of the groups experience

You are amazing!

You can never really pick an autistic person from the first glance. Retards, however, can be spotted as soon as they describe their political views.

Yeah I was a bit worried with this one but it turned out pretty wholesome.

Why? We are people just like anyone else.

Im sorry, I don’t have a disorder. I’m autistic, it’s a different way of thinking, not a disorder. There is nothing wrong with me or any other autistic person

@@BonShula i guess you could find participants that are ok being questioned if their disorder is “real,” (which didn’t necessarily seem the case with this group)… even so i can’t think of a way to have the imposter “impersonate” having autism to win money in a way that’s respectful- it could be fine but it’s kind of setting themselves up for getting trashed

Yes me too. Autistic people are often characterized by not getting jokes or subtleties. Not always true. The are diverse like all of us.

@@WayCoolNurse yes. People with austisme do have humor. Maybe not all of them understand sarcasme or jokes with a deeper layer but they all have their own sense of humor.

What did you learn?

The cadence and speech patterns of autistic people are slightly different than from non autistic people. I also learned about FAS and it prompted me to research it a bit.

Me too 😊❤️❤️❤️ I'm glad I learned something and walked away from this feeling EDUCATED and not uncomfortable at all with how they formatted this episode 🥰

If she came on a show to serve as a "mole" for a group of allegedly autistic people, then raised her hand to identify that she had not been diagnosed at the end, whether she suspected she might have it or not, SHE PRETENDED.

"preach !" as she said !!

Disability comes from without not within. I gotta write that down!

I could feel my mind Expanding after she said that. Never thought about it like that before.

I disagree with her though. No matter how much society can accomodate my ADHD, for example, I'll always have that chemical imbalance in my brain that needs to be treated. By default, I will always struggle with staying focused, even on things I want to learn. I'll always have rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and I'm always going to struggle with basic hygiene. Disability is not a dirty word. ADHD and autism are disabilities for most people and that is okay. Where society comes into play here is shaming people for having disabilities to begin with and refusing to treat them -- but that doesn't make those conditions not disabilities to begin with.

@@justahugenerd1278 Here's the thing. The creators of the social model of disability NEVER intended for it to be a replacement for the medical model of disability. They just created this new[er] model to be able to have words to describe this phenomenon where it wasn't necessarily one's disability that was stopping them from being integrated with society but rather society's lack of taking action to make the world more accessible for their disabled peers.

Turns out, she has it lol! You guys are honestly a very sweet community, I wish more people would be understanding

i have pretty bad ocd, had many symptoms my whole life and was diagnosed at 15. it's so hard because no one takes it seriously because it's just thrown around like "PTSD" and "intrusive thoughts" jokes

I want to hear Amanda lecture. I feel like she is just full of salient points like that.

It makes sense in that society is not built socially for some people. What does not make sense is how severe your diagnoses is. Some people do not work without assistance.

I think there has to be a balance between the social and medical definitions because it is not reasonable to blame society for some disabilities. For example, as a blind woman-I do not think I am disabled because of how society treats/responds to me or is built. I am missing the ability to see within the normal human range of sight.

Hi Sophia! I'm currently still seeking a diagnosis myself (I am confident I will get one). I related to you the most in this video (what little of you was shown considering the length of the video) as someone who "seems too normal" as I'm sure some people in your life will say or have said to you. I wanted to let you know it was comforting to see someone more like me being represented! Thank you for that ☺️

Wanted to say I love your fashion 😅 couldn’t stop staring at your outfit.

Reproducing w autism? Hope not

They did, it's explained in another subcomment. And then they realized it wasn't alright and cut it in editing

@@fannydoucet6750 Damn. I should not have scrolled down to the comments. After they immediately revealed the person I was relieved they weren't voting people out. That's messed up.

@@fannydoucet6750 so I can explain what we did during the production! Jubilee wanted to make sure that not one person felt invalidated, so they asked all of us how we thought we should go about the video. As Darius said in another comment, some of us wanted to keep the format for the video the same as other odd one out’s, and some of us were happy to change the format. We ended up having 1 single elimination round, but it didn’t make it into the video. My fiancé is a video editor and from what he’s showed/told me, I completely understand why they decided to omit the one elimination round from the video. The way I understand it is that it wouldn’t have made sense editing wise to include it since there was only 1 round. Because this topic had to do with neurological disorders, the editors/director did not want any one of us to feel invalidated by being voted out. The format of this video (before being edited) was somewhat of an empathetic trial and error sort of thing (I’m sorry, I can’t think of anyway else to explain it lol). I can promise you that the team at jubilee wanted all of us cast members to feel validated, and I also assume that is why they didn’t include the single elimination round. After the one person was “eliminated”, they weren’t required to leave the box because we wanted the conversation to keep going, since it was very productive (as many of us felt!). I hope I’ve given you and any others wondering a little bit more insight into why the editors formatted the video the way that they did. It was apparent to a cast members that jubilee wanted to make sure we all felt validated, while also spreading awareness of a neurological disorder (2 actually!) that are very underrepresented!

@@Amy-cw6qs Thanks for the details !

They all where so kind and loving people

What!? That makes no sense. You shouldn't be in it then. Why do you base it on others, you know if you know...

@@Nekotaku_TV You don't get to tell other people how to feel about their perception of the world and how they perceive others perceiving them. Tell a depressed person to stop being depressed. I could go on, but I hope you see my point.

Getting eliminated from this game wouldn't have to mean being invalidated or not accepted as truly autistic. If they still denied your autistic reality after the reveal, then okay. But uninformed contestants just playing a game aren't trying to invalidate you, they are just making a guess to try to win, just like you (if you were also playing). I'm saying this as a fellow autistic person also diagnosed as a young teen who would not be in the least bit offended by being eliminated from this game.

I went on the insta of the guy wearing the vans, and apparently they did end up doing to voting out thing and HE got voted out, but then they chose to redo it because it looked bad. Not great by jubilee.

I’m glad they didn’t do the “voting out” thing because I don’t want Jubilee videos to go on for longer than 30 minutes We are not the same

As children, some if not most of us might have had this ability to experience pure innocent joy about "useless" topics, but alas, that sense often gets lost as we grow older. Indeed a treat to see that in some adults as well.

I don't know anyone else autistic that I'm aware of, but then again I don't tell people about me. Is this community only online?

ikkkk

As an ADHD person I cannot agree with this more, and in fact ADHD makes this concept so much more palpable given how the rigid expectations of sustained focus and attention are largely demands of only modern, bureaucratised society and didn't exist in the same way or to the same extent in previous eras where workflow was flexible and less cognitively rigid so living with the condition would not have been as disabling. So if society once existed in a state where having ADHD was not particularly disordered, then why can it not adapt to accomodate it again? And if it can do that for ADHD, why not also for other conditions that are considered disordered whether or not they were at one time better accomodated?

Amy is truly an amazing (and cute) person. I'm glad she came on to share her FASD diagnosis. Like Sage said, the Autistic community accepts her with open arms.

It is refreshing as a person who has Asperger’s but neurotypical people don’t accept us and pick on us because we are different

@@evangelynbeltran202 heartbreak high has an autistic woman played by an actually autistic woman!! it’s not perfect but it’s a start, and they got input from her directly so it’s one of my favorite examples of autistic women. we definitely need to see more variety and diversity

@@evangelynbeltran202 If you directed every show/series, all our protagonists would be mixed race, socioeconomically-disadvantaged, traumatised, undiagnosed neurodivergent, disabled, gender-queer or non-conforming, non-performative in their behaviour, and non-stereotypical to every length imaginable.

Atypical is fine for getting the general idea of what we struggle with but is often pushed to extremes. I'm sure part of it is specifically to help convey just how difficult various social situations can be but part is probably also for the entertainment value of it just like with many other characters in the show. Anyway, I appreciate your comment and hope you have a great day. :)

please call them autistic patients rather than “with autism”! identity* first language is more respectful

@@bella-rz5ps no? autistic patients suggests they are defined by their condition. Patients with autism is much better

@@bella-rz5ps Respectfully, I think it is the other way around. "Person with autism" is using person first language. "Autistic person" puts the diagnosis before the person.

You can never really pick an autistic person from the first glance. Retards, however, can be spotted as soon as they describe their political views.

What? This makes it sound like you don’t view people with autism as people…

yeah this was wholesome

They're not animals, and I think people tend to treat those with autism as if they are animals.

@@tacobell1299 of course they aren't animals, i think this guy just means it in the way that at least in our mainstream way of understanding it autistic people can have trouble communicating what they're thinking with other people.

It is hard because you are accusing the mom of doing something wrong when you make that diagnosis. It is hard within K-12 education to make the diagnosis. I have two students who CLEARLY have it, and I know their mother socially. She is a lovely woman, but she drinks regularly. She also loves her children fiercely. However, her sons have the disease. The special Ed department actually asked for a meeting with mom and brought in a specialist to share concerns. Needless to say, that didn’t go well…

@@juliekennedy9891 Plus, there are some areas where the FASD diagnosis process is intertwined in issues of race, poverty, crime and intergenerational trauma. When it becomes associated with a particular demographic, those from other demographics who deny any use during pregnancy will often have their child missed, or misdiagnosed. And then those from the targeted demographic may not have been guilty of anything, but because of those characteristics beyond their control, their child can sometimes be misdiagnosed in the opposite direction (being judged to have FASD instead of ASD, for instance).

Why do we need so much representation? Not comfortable unless orders have the same problems as you?

@@joeloguirato7012 Because nobody is talking about it. And if nobody is talking about it, there will continue to be people out there that don’t know the consequences of drinking during pregnancy, especially that even 1 drink during the entire 9 months can affect the child. I was exposed because my mom didn’t know she was pregnant with me till she was around 5 months along. She had me at the age of 45 and she thought she was going through menopause. If we don’t start talking about this more, we’ll never lower the amount of children born with FASD’s. If we don’t start talking about this more, people who don’t know what drinking during pregnancy can do will never find out what it can do. If we don’t have more representation, for ASD as well, we’ll continue to have educators and administrators in the school systems that aren’t aware of these neurological disorders and how they can’t affect their students learning and behavior. So no, it’s not about wanting more people to have the same disorder, it’s simply about raising awareness for those that DO have the disorder.

Me too. And cool that Eventhough you're now in the community, you still cared.

@@writerwannabe8778 🤗 Thank you 🤗

I'm an autistic person, and I can't speak for all autistic people, since we don't all think or feel the same about everything, but for me personally, I was a bit disappointed that the game was sort of "dumbed down" for the autistic contestants when it came to trying to eliminate the mole. It made me think "what, do you think we can't handle being eliminated from a game? You think we're a bunch of sensitive little kids?" And that felt a bit hurtful to me. I can appreciate there being concern to avoid making anyone feel invalidated or like their experience as an autistic person is being denied, but I don't think an uninformed player just trying to wager their best guess is the same as someone who is intentionally denying your experience or invalidating you or being ableist or something like that. All the players are uninformed before the reveal, which is part of the point. Nobody's trying to deny your experience anymore than you're trying to deny theirs by making your own guess. And it's not like the other players would deny your experience or invalidate you after the reveal. If I had been a player and gotten eliminated, I would have just happily accepted that enough other players may have for whatever reason perceived me to be less autistic-seeming to them than the other players. And it may also be that they weren't entirely confident in their votes. As a viewer, I was trying to guess who the mole was, and I felt so uncertain of anyone I considered a potential mole, and I was ultimately wrong in the guess I made when the reveal happened. But once the reveal happened, I then thought more deeply about the vastness of the autistic spectrum and how even I as an autistic person can be surprised to find out someone else is autistic or not. And in that way I actually think removing the elimination aspect of the game presents a missed opportunity to allow viewers to experience their guesses and assumptions and thoughts only for the reveal to potentially then shatter some of those assumptions they may have been making. To me, that could have been a great way to reinforce for people just how diverse autistic people are, and how much overlap there might be between the autism spectrum and other neurotypes (as was discovered when the mole turned out to have a separate diagnosis she claimed had a lot of things in common with autism), and how for some of us it's a bit more obvious while for others it's more subtle. Yet despite how obvious or subtle it might seem to be to others, we are all affected by living life on the spectrum in significant ways. But removing the eliminations kind of made it seem as though it was perpetuating the idea that autistic people are fragile or easily offended or incapable of comprehending or consenting to the rules of a game like this. I feel like that perception some times affects the way certain people approach me when they know I'm autistic, and they treat me like a child even though I'm 35. That being said, I do know that they actually did have the contestants eliminate each other but cut that part out of the video, and at least one of the autistic contestants got eliminated and felt very triggered as a result of his elimination and has expressed how he felt about being eliminated in a separate comment. So like I said above, I cannot speak for all autistics. This has just been my take on it.

I also just want to add real quick that I hope it can be believed that I do not speak from a lack of experience being invalidated or having my reality denied or trivialized. I am no stranger to that pain. I just don't think that's what those players were doing to each other when they agreed to participate in a game where they had to guess who the mole was and eliminate each other.

Same!

There's also some controversy over what conditions exactly count as neurodivergent. Sometimes you hear people say mental illness doesn't count as neurodivergence because it doesn't mean your brain functions completely differently. But certain personality disorders or certain anxiety disorders do change the wiring of your brain. But someone will say those don't count since they're developed and not from birth.

That's why it's better to say allistic...

it's also just easier to say neurodivergent sometimes. i have a weird cocktail of several conditions that i'm diagnosed with and i often just say neurodivergent because people tend to either start questioning me because they assume i must be lying or treat me like i'm incapable of functioning :")

@@unicorntomboy9736 People aren't constantly asking gay people to prove their gay, saying being gay isn't real, telling them to be more normal, and then saying it's ok that you're gay, I never would've noticed, you seem so normal!

@@slimemold4767 All of that happens to bisexual and pansexual peaple you know

Hi! I don't have autism, and I just want to tell you that I absolutely adore my autistic friends. I love how unafraid you all can be to express yourself, and I feel like I learn so much from my autistic friends (and family). You are not damaged, and you are not flawed. There will always be people out there who are afraid of unique expression, but they aren't worth your time. I promise there are so many people who will love you for who you are. Sometimes it can take a lot of searching, but I promise we're out there.

Wow, I had a near identical experience. Diagnosed as a child, but my mom didn’t tell me OR my dad. Had a miserable experience in school, ended up dropping out during my sophomore year. Got re-diagnosed at 19-and that’s when my mom confessed that she’d known the entire time. I struggle with resenting her, I wish she’d told me. So much suffering could’ve been avoided. I’m sorry that you had to experience so much pain, but I’m glad that you’re functioning better now. Took me ages to find a career that worked for me, but I finally feel content at 27.

@@gelitrippingkiddo5907 I’m so sorry the same thing happened to you, no one deserves to suffer like that. I really hope your life is peaceful from here on out

Never diagnosed I’m in my late 40’s and self diagnosed now. Would have been nice if I was but it wasn’t often that girls would get diagnosed as autistic in the 80’s
