I'm not autistic but I relate to it too lol

Hang on a fuckin' sec... I'm supposed to use _facial expressions_ with people?

When she said that I thought it was a very autistic thing to say. I'm glad she can have comedy with being on the spectrum

@@wolf1066 Make sure you use the right ones. I discovered that there are wrong ones.

@@gaslitgames *_NOW_* you tell me?

The hallmark of great pornography is when you can hear the director giving the performers instructions.

Her book is really good

I feel like people 'know' this about her from something she said elsewhere and are calling her out for no reason here...I am in education and I see absolutely no autism here. What is she doing that qualifies as visibly or noticeably autistic?

​@@nikismith3784Thank you

@nikismith3784 Bingo!

​@nikismith3784 shes admitted in other sets shes autistic

Another comedian to check out is Limmy. He is from Glasgow, while Fern is from Bathgate, West Lothian. I'm not from Scotland myself, so I don't know how people from Bathgate react if you call their accent "glaswegian". :D

I agree! And it's even funnier when the person speaking with that accent doesn't look like they would have that accent. At least, I wouldn't expect someone looking like Fern to have a heavy Glaswegian accent, lol.

@@MatthewTheWanderer I can't help but think of "Fat Bastard" from the Austin Powers movies 😂

@@LordHorst I looked into her and Scotland in general while watching her and it's only an hour from Glasgow to Edinburgh, so I'd imagine it's the same accent, but I could be wrong. Philadelphia is only about 2 hours from NYC and they are vastly different accents 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I get that distances in Europe must seem laughably small for an American. When you drive 5 hours, you are still in the same state. In Europe you can easily travel through 5 different countries in the same amount of time. :D Edinburgh and Glasgow have very different accents (look up interviews with Shirley Manson, who is from Edinburgh. While still having a clear scottish accent she sounds nothing like Fern or Limmy). But as I've said, I'm not from Scotland either, so what I say here might be complete horsesh... anyway. It's just that I made the mistake of calling an accent "glaswegian" once and then got a few angry responses from Scots telling me that the accent comes from small town to the south of Glasgow and sounds totally different from Glaswegian, haha. I was just trying to give you a small heads-up. :D@@Brando56894

I’m waiting for it to come in. Her background is fascinating. Autism is a spectrum of disorders that manifest themselves in entirely different ways depending on the person. Liz Miele, another comic, is autistic. So is Catharine Brennan - an MIT professor who has a great backstory. One of my daughter close friends is autistic.. and both of my daughters work with special needs individuals at various points on the spectrum. Interesting but not for me.

If youre a male and youre reading about females and autism, you probably have autism.

Ooh, she's autistic? Cool ty!

AuDHDer here, we prefer to say "conditions." Neurodivergence is only a "disorder" relative to being forced into a society that isn't made for how our brains and nervous systems work. @@JimAllen-Persona

@@worldadventuretravel What would a society that neirodivergents naturally fit into look like?

Her book is really good if you haven't already checked it out

And she was on Taskmaster. Its on youtube

Honestly it’s so relieving talking to or listening to others on the spectrum. Feels like the only time something makes sense, and the only comfortable social interaction possible.

When I got diagnosed as being on the spectrum at 26, I felt so much weight lifting off my shoulders. Finally I had an explanation for why I do the things I do in the way that I do them.

My face when she said "facial expressions are for when you're with other people" :0 Never forget to wear your fake face so the NT's don't decide to come after you with pitchforks and torches.

"ya stupid cunt" - usually a friedly way of addressing a good friend. "Darlin'" - usually a threat 😅

that might be a touch of the tism, bud

You don't need to be autistic to be an honest person? Tf

@@skylarsaa sign of autism is the lack of ability to keep your honest thoughts to yourself. Emotional disregulation. Not everything that’s true is meant to be shared.

I wouldn't say lack of ability, more of an occasional misjudgement, I doubt we could hold a conversation if we shared all truths.

@@JuicyLeek That sounds so strange to me. People ask me a question, and I answer. Why ask a question if you're not interested in a genuine response? I am old and intelligent enough to know that you're right, but even after 60 years I never understood it. What is the benefit of dishonesty in the long run?

Yeah foreign shit is hot lol.

Neurospicy hahaha I like that

Her book is really good

It's crazy how autistic people in the UK sound like the least autistic people in the US. Our definitions are very different.

@@purdysanchezShe sounds perfectly normal to me. Well, except for the accent. I have no idea what some of these commenters are hearing.

Same here, where's the Autism?

@@nikismith3784 *FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE FOR WHEN YOU ARE WITH OTHER PEOPLE* the most relatable most autistic comment ever LOL

The subtitles on this video are perfect. Very helpful if you're watching on your phone while brushing your teeth. (I can vouch first hand.)

Nah, she's just ripping off Kevin Bridges.

Yeah she's genuine and bold because she's autistic. She's a beacon of success for autisic people in comedy, whose whole deal is being socially underdeveloped despite being intelligent and capable. And to add to that, she's a woman. Autism in women is severely underdiagnosed and greatly misunderstood. Her existence and openness about her condition and how she's coped is going to help a lot of women, and likely save a lot of lives. She's bloody fantastic.

@@AkuraTheAwesome She's another reason I hate being autistic.

@@williamoarlock8634 what? Why? What's wrong with Fern Brady that drives you to some degree of self-loathing? She's a successful comedian that a lot of people really connect with. She helped my autistic wife accept a diagnosis, and has lightened her mood towards the disorder. This wild Scottish weirdo is being adored and is successful? Maybe it's not so bad she thinks. Everyone is different of course, I'm just really surprised to hear people who don't like her because I find her personally really endearing.

@@AkuraTheAwesome I mean, I agree with you generally, but I must be pedantic and point out that her boldness and genuineness isn't caused by her autism, it's just part of her character

I DIED 😂😂😂💀

Camilla?

You aren't English, are you?

@@lolbubs11111Nope. Doesn't change the fact that a people who have contributed so much to the development of the modern world could only be called ignorant by jealous assholes.

I like to go more low class with John Logie Baird and Alexander Graham Bell 😂

Bcuz dis utube.

Am urny sure whit yer greeting aboot.

Let's not even start about people who haven't a clue about why one should construct a sentence,or whether or not it is acceptable to sentence others to terms of semantic gibberish without dew proses,lol.

Scotlang!

I assume 60% of her audience is Scottish

and they're so hard to understand, ironic!

@@angelacox-martin2789 ah the best one was when my dad came to Belfast whilst I lived there. The tour guide didn't understand my dad's accent, he chuntered "well it int like their accents reyt easy t'understand ti's it,"

Gen X American here. Yes, I was also reading in a Scottish accent, and didn't realize it until I read your comment!

Yup same here 😂

I read all the comments in a Scottish accent too, but then I am Scottish. 😅

I was totally shocked to find out not everyone has a voice in their head that makes observations and commentary on the events in the outside world. Having said that, everything I read has an accent... after reading a lot of comments on the internet, they usually start with an American accent, but that can morph into almost anything given context, and the first signs of intelligence and empathy completely cure the American accent,lol. Apologies to Americans who aren't already my friends, those who are my friends are smart enough to know that it's a joke, and a natural segue from those in the set we are meant to be commenting on, lolagain.

Try Billy Connolly. Probably find the same phenomenon. 😊

She’s just announced a 2024 tour!

You just communicated a description of a socialigicak construct to a bunch of strangers. No one with Asperger’s would ever go out of their way to champion such a collegiate construct. You are trying to hard m. I hereby diagnose you with Wannabeitis. Take two pills and fuck off in the morning

This wannabe is a disgrace to the ACTUAL aliens in human suits! Show them some respect, Asperger’s Poser! For shame!

Come back when you ACTUALLY HAVE ASPERGERS, POSER!

That's what I said too, I'm American so I don't hear it often. The thick Glaswegian accent just has a way of making everything sound hilarious even when it's not. I don't find any of the other UK accents to be on the same level, most of the Irish accents are like music to my ears. The British accents I can take or leave. My brother said he can't stand British accents 😂

Fern’s accent isn’t actually Glaswegian; she’s from Bathgate so her accent is quite a bit more “east coast.”

Also, not to be pedantic, but British encompasses all of Britain, not just England.
