The video we're going to get into in a little bit, but I want us to just tell you
that you can get my free autism life hacks PDF from autumnhacks.net, and you can go
and do that right now for free from me.
Okay.
So here are five common aspects of behavioral traits that people probably
mistake has just like they don't see it.
They mistakenly think that just typical, um, aspects of somebody or a personality
trait or something that's not linked to autism, but that's why the wrong.
That's why I'm here.
So we're making this video all right.
Enough for me, waffling.
Let's get Kauflin into it.
Okay.
So breaking it down, that number one is clumsiness and poor motor coordination.
Right?
So autism can, um, present a lot of poor coordination skills and cause
clumsiness and people, uh, because it's, it's all down to how the brain
communicates with the outside world.
Right.
Also, we have to think about comorbid co-morbidity where you
will have co-occurring conditions like ADHD or dyspraxia or dyslexia.
Now, if you have these types of conditions, then being clumsy is going
to be part and parcel of having that package of, you know, autism, dyspraxia,
autism dyslexia, you know, being clumsy and having really poor motor skills
is definitely on the, on the list of most common things that people.
Usually see in somebody's like, Oh, Larry yeah, go.
He's always fallen over, Oh, you're counseling to put a cup down on
the side, but you know, it's.
Part of being on the autism spectrum.
Um, but people kind of just dismiss it because they just say, Oh, you know,
that's, that's Larry, that's that Larry.
So can, in terms of this, it's kind of like a, um, it's kind of like a,
if you see this and it's combined with some of the other bits and pieces, I'm
talking about, it's time to think a little bit smarter about it and not just
kind of write it off as something that just a personality trait of somebody.
Okay.
And number two.
Is issues with social functioning, not autistic people will have
issues with social functions like socializing and socializing in general.
Now social functions are typically the way that somebody
communicates in a social circle.
Knowing when does that tend to talk, knowing what the rules of conversation
are, knowing that if you're going to add information into a conversation,
then it can't be, uh, aggressive.
It can't be, um, shocking or rude.
It has to be filtered to, to a certain degree.
And yeah.
All of these social constructs and you know, how the distance to stand
away from somebody and everything that encompasses social communication
is sometimes, well, most of the time missed or people on the autism spectrum
because they have such a difficulty understanding the world around them.
They don't pick up on these unwritten social rules that people pick up.
Generally you just through conversations with like growing up and hanging out
with people and just knowing people, you know, um, it's a, it's difficult,
it's, it's a lot more effort for someone on the autism spectrum to
kind of get into the swing of that.
But that being said, Um, it's just very, very common.
It's super common people on the alternate spectrum.
And some people are very shy and my parents even wrote me off as
just being shy when I was a kid.
Uh, they just didn't really fully understand it, but obviously I have
an actual psychoanalysis of it, then you understand what's going on.
But in terms of like, um, yeah, it just, uh, Yeah, it's interesting.
Okay.
So number three is expansive language in subject areas.
Okay.
And that sounds like a lot of stuff.
I just said that in once, but, um, you know, basically what this means is people
diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
Usually how many very expansive language in the subject field that
they're super interested in, which means that lexicon and vocabulary.
will be vast within a certain genre like Pokemon.
I mean, everything there's to know about pokemon or a certain area of science.
I mean, very be very well researched in science, in a certain topic of
science that is like just their niche and they'll know everything about
it, because that is like basically having a, um, a very narrow focused.
Obsessive interest in something that then you become a pseudo expert in.
Um, and sometimes in a lot of cases, then you go on to being an expert,
like, um, temple Grunden she, you know, she's an expert in, I think
it's like biology and like cattle and things like that, like animal biology.
And she's a doctor in that.
Um, and that was like her focus and her study of a field of study.
And I think that's really interesting.
And, um, I just find it super fascinating, but you'll definitely notice this because
that person on the spectrum who is into that thing, won't stop talking about
it and will just continually, just.
Rumble about it.
And it's kind of like, all right, all the rights he drew.
Okay, let's move on.
So number four is having an above average IQ.
Now let me just put a disclaimer out there.
I'm not saying it.
And every single person on the autism spectrum will have an above average IQ.
Um, nor am I saying that it's only people with lower support needs
that will have an above average IQ.
This is not what I'm saying.
I'm just saying generally and commonly that you'll notice that people on
the autism spectrum will think a little bit more outside the box, and
I'm really good at problem solving.
And so the IQ will display quite.
Higher than an average person.
Um, so, uh, studies have shown actually that people diagnosed with Asperger's
syndrome show to have on average, uh, an above average intelligence score,
80% of the cases that they studied.
So 80% of the people on the autism spectrum, they studied actually had
an above average IQ, which is actually fascinating, but it does give the, the,
the grounds of the reasons why a lot of the most famous scientists in the world.
Um, had traits of autism and would've been diagnosed with Asperger's
syndrome, like Nikola, Tesla, and Albert Einstein, et cetera.
Okay.
So number five is favoring alone time.
Now people on the autism spectrum will favor being alone, um, over going
out and socializing with friends.
And it's because they have a social anxiety for big, large social
governance and social groups, because.
Well, autism presents itself in many ways.
And one of the ways is that it gives you a really bad slap of anxiety,
generalized anxiety, social anxiety that caused meltdowns panic attacks,
burnouts shutdowns, just so it's easier to stay at home and study the thing
that you're really into and develop that lexicon and actually go out
to the pub with your mates, um, you know, sink a few beers or whatever.
You know, that kind of like social convention or social group thing
is, um, somewhat of a, of a desired trait, I guess, in, in neuro-typical
people, it's something that people just do without thinking about it.
Like, yeah.
I could never just get on it.
I'm like 34 years old.
Right.
So if I little dude, I'm a father.
Uh, you know, and I have a girlfriend and stuff and we have like a dog and
all this stuff, but I can never just get on a train and go to, like London
and have a coffee or whatever on my own.
I can't do those things.
Like I am so overwhelmed with that.
Um, that evening, that process, it really scares me even thinking about
it gets me anxious and that social anxiety kind of just comes over me.
So in terms of, um, favoring alone time, I do often I have
them pretty much all my life.
My friends will be like, Hey, we'll get onto a pot.
Yeah.
I'm like, yeah, I'll see a leader.
How it's going to thing too.
I just, it's just a thing.
And they're like walking and I'm like, leave me alone.
And so it was actually playing music.
I used to hang out and just play bass guitar, like pretty much all the time.
Like that was my thing.
And I just, and I taught myself to play pretty much every instrument
I can play, I play about four or five different instruments.
Or more than that, but I taught myself to play those instruments, but it was
done in that time that a long time when all my friends were outside,
like partying and having girlfriends and you know, doing cool dude stuff.
