Okay guys.
So this video is all about super interestingly odd things that our
girls with autism do, or one really interesting thing that girls or women
with an autism spectrum disorder do.
And I wanted to do this because I find it really interesting, you know, there's,
there's a whole kind of like different world when you, when you compare like,
Males to females on the autism spectrum.
There's different diagnostic criteria.
There may be different kinds of traits and characteristics, but
I find like the same ones I just think are just very fascinating.
I'd like to talk about, and that's why I wanted to do this video right
now, because we often talk about girls on the spectrum on this channel.
And if you are wanting to learn more about girls specifically on the
spectrum, I will leave a link for a playlist in the description down below
all about girls on the autism spectrum.
And that I've interviewed from my friends who are girls who are on the autism
spectrum, lots of information there.
And I'm sure you'll get a lot of value from that.
So.
Without further ado, I'm going to get into this right now.
So we all know that autism definitely isn't exclusive to males.
Um, but there has been some very interesting, um, developments
in that web for, for many years.
People thought that autism was just a, a male-based thing, right?
Uh, when in actual fact it's obviously across the board.
So, um, it doesn't make any, uh, any difference if you're male, female, or
whatever, you know, you can have autism.
You could not, you know, there's no difference there, but above all else,
um, autism in girls displays, uh, very interesting behavior and there's different
behaviors between males and females, as well as like masking and stuff with
males that isn't as prominent as it is in females and females mask weigh more
and they have a lot more different kind of like difficulties than males do.
Um, and so I just think it's fascinating to talk about it, but above.
Anything else, right?
Girls display this one.
Very interesting behavior.
And that behavior, ladies and gentlemen, watching this right now is inappropriate
or not, or no facial gestures.
Now women typically display women on the autism spectrum typically
will display the wrong facial expression for the emotion that they.
They're displaying.
So if you could, you could be talking to a female on the spectrum
and they could be really happy yet.
Their facial expression could be completely mute.
They could have like no facial expression at all.
Just completely like is if you're not even talking to them, but then also they could
display a facial expression or a gesture.
Uh, of like extreme happiness sadness, a Twitch, which has no relevance to
the situation of conversation at hand.
So where you typically see people smile and happy situations, or people kind
of be really sad and upset and, and have like a frown in sad situations.
Um, an intriguing face for intriguing situations, wherever an intriguing
phase is, um, you know, Girls typically in the autism spectrum won't display
these typically they will display them all, but not linked up to the correct.
Um, or it will be inappropriate.
So you could be talking about like a funeral or something, but
again, on the autism spectrum.
Yeah.
Smile, uh, about this, it's like an it's the wrong social
gesture for that situation.
And the reason being is because autism is a at its core, a
communications issue, right.
It's a communication.
Um, Difficulty.
And so the brain offering signals for one is understanding emotions
and understanding situations.
Then relaying that information to you to display the correct way to display your
emotion in that situation and facial expressions to display how you feel.
It's just not going to happen.
Um, and so with females specifically, I feel like females are more engaged
with the emotional side of autism.
And so therefore they are more tied to showing more facial
gestures, but actually showing what.
Incorrect facial gestures, , for that, um, specific kind of event,
you're in a social situation.
You're in.
Now in terms of not having any facial gesture at all, this is very, very common.
A lot of people on the autism spectrum will have difficulty in
displaying any type of emotion through their facial gestures.
Now, women on the autism spectrum seem to be more acute to just not
displaying any emotion at all, just completely neutral all the way through.
They could be excessively happier accessibly start with just having a
neutral face, which is very difficult for the other people with the group to just.
Judge what the person's going to be like going off that Facebook.
Okay.
Going off of that facial expressions.
Now I definitely would say that if you're with a person on the autism spectrum,
who is a female and just try and look out and ask them like, Hey, are you okay?
Is this okay?
Because the facial expressions are never going to match up to what they feel.
And, you know, I have this as a male, but on the female side of things, I
think that this is way more prominent again, because females are more into that
emotional side of autism spectrum and feeling more emotions, uh, than the males.
I'm guessing, this is typically why that happens.
Now, I find this really, really interesting, um, that, uh, you know,
there are a bunch of different things that are different between men and women
on the, and especially, and I'd love to know if you want to see more differences
between autism in girls versus boys.
