So with that being said, if you wanna follow me on Instagram

And let's get into this video.
Okay.
So I wanted to do it again, video talking about like odd aspergers symptoms,
because there's a lot, I do a lot of videos on traits and symptoms, and I
just want to put a disclaimer out there.
The reason I use the word symptoms is so you guys can just, don't go around
talking about an actual fact people on the autism spectrum, don't use
the word symptoms, symptomatic things technically mean that they are like.
Curable, um, conditions where we all know the autism is not a curable
condition, so it's not really a term.
We use symptoms, we actually use, uh, traits or characteristics
or personality traits.
So that being said, um, I hope I haven't offended anybody
let's get on who had the video.
Okay, cool.
So I decided I'd write down three of the most interestingly.
odd, kind of characteristics of an autism spectrum disorder, like Aspergers syndrome
and the traits of Asperger's syndrome.
But at some that, people probably wouldn't even think like, I aspergers symptom
traits are well, we'll get into it.
So the first one I'm going to talk about here is using senses more.
Now, autism is a communication, issue it's kind of impacts the brain and
communicates communicative ways where like, you know, it, it impacts the
communication from you to the outside world, which also includes things like.
Um, sensory processing disorder or sensory processing disorder is where a person, uh,
is, um, effected by other sensory sensory stimuli in a way that neuro-typical people
or non-autistic people, uh, would be.
So, uh, for instance, a certain word or a certain noise
could really trigger someone.
So spectrum, well, uh, somebody who's neurotypical wouldn't
really be triggered by this.
And certain smells could cause a meltdown for someone on the autism
spectrum world, the person who is not on the autism spectrum probably wouldn't
have an issue with those smells.
So you can see how things like that are impactful now
in terms of using senses more.
The fact that, uh, that communication impacts the autism
brain is that it actually impacts social and communicated aspects.
Where if you're in a social situation, people on the autism spectrum would
have a really difficult time keeping up with a lot of social conventions
and social situations, not knowing when to talk about what was the right time.
What's the right social kind of construct here, all that stuff that can be
difficult, therefore other senses are heightened, which is kind of how sensory
processing disorder comes into all this.
So the use of senses more is something like, you may notice that someone on the
autism spectrum may like smell everything.
Like if you, from your phone, they might smell that your phone, or they
may smell like just random objects like, they might smell their clothes.
I smell that hands, things like that, like using a scense, different
lead to what a typical person would because neuro-typical people.
Don't typically use their senses like that.
They kind of just use them as a, you know, as a given, you know, they, they,
they take everything in a different light, but people in the autism spectrum
have heightened senses in certain areas.
And this actually is one of the most interesting characteristics I
thought would be very interesting to put in here as an odd
characteristic Asperger syndrome.
Okay guys, we're moving on to odd aspergers symptom
number two, just for you.
He goes, okay, so this one, I kind of dubbed anxiously snappy.
I also have a weird kind of term for this, but because it Asperger's syndrome
comes with a lot of like social anxiety and general anxiety disorder or GDA,
um, there are kind of like byproducts of the fact that, um, anxiousness causes.
Um, a bit of a rift with an ASD and ASD is autism spectrum disorder.
Um, now a lot of the time people with ASD, uh, like Asperger syndrome and
such, uh, become really anxiously snappy, where if you're in a situation where
the person on the autism spectrum is.
Is maybe under a bit of stress or a bit of strain or they're in a situation
that could be triggering to them.
Like it could be a bu, but it could be a busy public space.
It could be out on a restaurant.
It could be like maybe in a meeting room, a lot of people.
And so that person who is on the autism spectrum will start feeling
super anxious and that anxiety kind of builds a bit like a fire within
them and it kind of starts raging.
And then that.
Fire can cause them to be very snappy and kind of like, Oh, because they're trying
their best to kind of keep in with it.
They're trying their best to keep level on it.
But that the anxiety is kind of like really rushing in.
And so they kind of start blocking out things that aren't important to mindful
survival, because that's what anxiety
Does to you.
And so of course, things like, Hey, you know, Dan, you're like another cup of tea.
I'm like, no, leave me alone.
Get away from him.
You know, like there's biscuits over there.
I don't care.
You know?
So being snappy.
In a situation that is typically an anxious situation for somebody
is a very odd but interesting symptom of Aspergers syndrome.
Now, I like to think of that one as kind of like one of my, uh, my alarm systems.
When I, when I know about that, I'm like, Oh my goodness, I'm getting
so triggered out and start raging.
And I know that that situation is going to cause me to have a meltdown,
which is very, very interesting because I feel like if I don't.
Um, if I don't act on that situation at the moment of time and take
myself away from it, then, uh, you know, worse things can happen.
And I'd just like to say, guys, I have started a premium autism
membership called level up autism.
If you'd like to join this specific autism.
Membership subscription group where we drop, uh, courses and
materials and live group sessions.
Every single month, there will be a link in the description down below
where you can actually register.
If it's not an open period for enrollment, you can register your interest and
we'll email you as soon as it's open.
Cause we only allow in 200 people at any one time.
Right?
But, um, I'd love to see you there and in the group and, and be a
part of what we're building here and that'd be super, super cool.
Awesome.
Okay guys.
So sill, we're going to move on to odd symptom.
Number three.
Now this is an odd symptom of Asperger's syndrome, which is actually
something that is quite common with seeing people on the spectrum, but
people who are neurotypical, don't see this as being an autism spectrum.
Trait or issue because they don't see it in the same way that
people on the autism spectrum do.
And this one is object relationships.
Right?
So let me just back up a bit, I don't mean that like you have a relationship
with your pencil, like you and your pencil would run off to the Hills and
get married and live happily ever after, and you'd have tiny pencil babies.
Well, of course not.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever said, but what I mean.
Is that when you have an object, if someone on the autism spectrum
will see an object and know that this object has personality and
that personality, um, resonates a relationship and that relationship
could be that it has some kind of affinity and you have affinity for it.
And so put this into perspective.
People on the autism spectrum may have a difficult time throwing out old shoes
because they have a relationship, a long lasting relationship with these shoes.
You know, they've done them a year.
They'd been through loads of stuff.
They've been on holiday with him.
They'd been to every business meeting, but now it's time for you to part
ways with these shoes and throw them in the bin and buy new ones.
And it's like losing a friend or like a dog dying or something, and it can be
quite distressed and quite upsetting.
And object relationships is a fairly real thing.
And people on the autism spectrum do have this affinity for inanimate
objects and objects that are non-Intel intelligent on an intellectual.
And so.
It is, it's definitely something that's very interesting and something that
I noticed quite a bit between people on the spectrum and they have a hard
time doing things, which is why people on the autism spectrum may seem like
hoarders, like they'll hoard loads and loads of stuff and collect like the
most bizarre things, because they'll start to have affinity to those things.
And those things will become part of them.
There'll be like this relationship between them and a cup collection or Mickey mouse
clock collection or something ridiculous.
Like, I don't know, could be anything.
Right.
But the, the idea is that.
That person has affinity for it.
And therefore their relationship with it is like a bond if you will.
So that is super, super interesting guys.
