Wednesday the 4th of April at 7 p.m.. UK time ok so basically
you know I suspected syndrome and autism it covers a
wide range of abilities and not-so-good
Abilities in certain areas so one of the things that I wanted to do is just discuss some of the good and fun parts with
You and also some of the bad part
So I've got three
good and three bad to go over and I'm gonna do them like one of each other so that it'll be easier to follow the
Flow of this video ok so number one. This is a one of the best it kind of traits
I've got and this is the ability to
balance equations, I was able to look for the fine detail in things so
balancing equations in chemistry, which I'm talking about so I did a degree in chemistry a BSC and
In this one of the things we have to do is balance chemical
Equations now a lot of people have to use tables and graphs and stuff to sort this out one of the reasons why I love
My conditions because I was able to do this without having to write down a table
I just could look at it and do it
Because I was looking for a spot the difference type of scenario with the nation, or what's different than this side to this side
So I can bounce it easy so spotting the difference like what's missing from this picture
I love those puzzles and my brain works in that way, and I just find that a huge benefit
I realize that my peers couldn't do that really that that well. Okay, so one of the worst ones. I would say is
Communication now communication leaves me with all kinds of issues where I don't know if people are joking
I don't know if they're like being sarcastic. I don't know the punchline of a joke it off
No telling the truth or not sometimes people try to be funny, and then I don't get it and like god
I wish I knew what if they were being funny enough, then another one is written communications
So I have an issue because I'm Dyslexic as well, so it comes with dyslexia
I have an issue reading of an issue writing, and it makes all kinds of crazy confusions happen so that's a real downer
So the best trait would be music. I love music. I'm self-taught musician
I play bass guitar guitar some piano drums violin
banjo ukulele banjo lately and basically, this is a
Awesome one because it allows me my brain allows me to look and view music in patterns that I get them I feel familiar with
And I can figure out how to play things like figuring out how to play guitar and bass and drums and stuff these are just
patterns that my brain was just
Automatically falling into which is awesome
so I'm so blessed I can even you know I'm able to play and learn any instrument within reason it goes so a
Worse one to counterbalances would be the anxiety now
I get anxiety about all kinds of stuff getting back to the mailman posting mail to the door
I get anxiety about people unlocking the door
I get anxiety of our few we have in the house
And what who was gonna get a get anxiety about that the clothing that I've gotten am
I gonna be able to carry on buying this clothes in this place
You know I get excited about every single thing not only that going outside social anxiety travel anxiety
And you know one of the things I wish I didn't have was was traveling xiety
I wish I could just go to a city and be able to walk around without being panic struck
Or been able to enjoy myself in a city where most people would be like oh, we're having a good time
And I'm just like you know the call is shaking a freaking out so
It die is probably one of the worst ones for me, but it's one of my best traits is
Zoning into things are being completely obsessed so with youtubers deaf
I needed to learn about camera techniques
And I haven't no real previous training in DSLRs or editing videos or color grading or filming or anything like that no integrity
Nothing, so I was like dang
I really want to learn so then I became obsessed with studying YouTube
and how it worked how to make videos how to
Do my videos how to rank them and all this kind of stuff, and I found that so fascinating
But I feel like it's a blessing because I could really do zone into it and really get in
Detail on the fine details of those things
I think that is amazing one of the worst wants to come out with some balance there
So how it would be OCD I have OCD that comes with my Asperger syndrome
So like washing my hands a lot in a certain way and certain how many times I do it if I don't do it
Right I'll do it again and folding my clothes the same way and doing it sometimes
I'll have to put like the quilts on the bed and the pillows the same way of the ways that kind of freaked me out
A bit putting tea towels on things that the right way or all this kind of stuff
It's like if there's a mammoth of tasks that I have to do to make sure that I feel comfortable
I feel relaxed because the OCD, but I wish it didn't happen
But when I don't do those things I feel horrible, and it just wrecks the entire day
And it kind of almost proves a point to you know the fact that if you don't do those things that you will feel bad
But it's kind of like a horrible kind of
Catch-22 situation, but you know to bounce out all the cool stuff you have to have those bad things
So let me know what your kind of good traits and bad traits
