Okay.
So I've done loads of videos.
I feel like I've done like just dozens and dozens of videos, all
about different types of traits of autism, how you can identify autism.
And I'm going to do a bunch of loads more.
I have so many more in the pipeline, but I wanted to do one talking about
more unique qualities and more unique characteristics because we all look at
the common things and the common things are quite common because that's why.
That comment at the end of the day, but that are unique traits of autism
that appear every now and then.
And then you think like, well, those could be occurring and you
could miss them because they're so unique that you think like, well,
that's not autism, but it is autism.
So I wanted to kind of cover all of that in this video.
And I've written out.
Well, either the most interesting ones that people don't normally associate
with autism, when you're looking at somebody and saying, Oh, Hey, maybe
they're on the autism spectrum.
Or maybe they need a diagnosis of add or whatever.
So in this video, we're going to be running down five of the most unique
ones I could come up with at, I think a very interesting, I'm super
excited to get this video on the road.
So guys, if you're interested in this type of stuff, then please give this video
a thumbs up that really helps me out.
And leave me a comment.
If you have anything to add that you think are really interesting, unique.
Autism, uh, traits that I should really cover in a video.
Okay guys.
So the first one is anger management issues.
Lots of people on the spectrum of me included, I have issues with anger
management and this comes from the fact that they have an issue with
their emotions and, and connecting to their emotions and expressing
their emotions and not, I have an issue even talking about my emotions.
So it's like, um, anger management kind of takes over or anger management takes over.
One of the interesting things actually about my bod anger
management is I've broken this hand.
Twice.
I broken this hand once and this wrist, once I'm on a broken
my toes, uh, countless times.
Um, but yet anger management is a huge deal.
It's like triggers.
Like it's like a raging inferno like, ah, you're like burst out and
you're like thrashing out having bad anger management comes hand in
hand with autism, unfortunately.
And it's because of the stress, the communication between how you're
feeling and wanting to explain those feelings and getting those feelings out.
It's kind of somewhat difficult for people on the autism spectrum because
that's the nature of the condition.
So that's super unique, but still part of an Austin spectrum.
Okay.
Number two, my favorite one hyperactivity, right?
I have a comorbid condition of ADHD and autism, but the ADHD, um, yes,
hyperactive autism on its own is also a hyperactive if traits like, so you
can have, um, a hyperactivity trait.
Yeah.
As an autism spectrum trait.
So somebody on the autism spectrum will be hyperactive.
Anyway, the reason I talk so fast and I do a bazillion things in one go is because
my brain is going a thousand miles an hour because I have autism and I have ADHD.
The, all these things are going on.
So I'm someone who is on the autism spectrum.
Yes.
And be hyperactive.
And a lot of the time they aren't hyperactive because hyperactivity
comes pretty much hand in hand with an autism spectrum disorder.
Bet you didn't know I was going to say that one guys haha!
Okay.
So number four is causing self-injury no, going back to the one we spoke about
a minute ago, when you have an autumn meltdown, you have this outburst, there's
nothing down this, this kind of like just emotional eruption everywhere.
And because of that, it could be a temptation for
self-injury because it could be.
You hitting yourself in the head.
Like I have this condition of autism and unfortunately it does tend to kick my
butt sometimes, but was a punch myself in the head, full fist in the head.
And I have no idea I can't control it.
It's out of my depth of kind of consciously understanding.
It just happens like a knee jerk reaction and this is self-injury or in itself self
harm, but we won't go into that right now.
I'll do a video on self harm and autism at a later date.
And if you want to check that out, yeah.
Please pop me a comment down below saying Dan.
You know, self-harm, I want to know more about cself harm and autism.
Put it in a comment and I will definitely do that video.
So in terms of self-injury, I have just, Oh my goodness, I've done so much.
Like I said, I've broken my hands and my wrists and stuff, but I've also really had
damaged my head and caused all kinds of headaches and stuff where I just hit my
head loads and it was really difficult.
And.
I now I'm able to overcome that with therapy and medication, but in terms
of being a trait of autism, definitely check as well as the self-injury
through like hitting yourself in the head or hitting things is
definitely, uh, on the traits there.
Okay.
So number five is short attention span.
Like, look, let's, let's break it.
You don't need to be a professional in anything to realize that people on
the autism spectrum have a way of kind of like a really short attention span.
Most of the time.
It is because they have co-morbid add or comorbid, which is co-occurring
diagnosis of ADHD as well.
Um, but th th the reason is autistic people have really fast processing
brains and that fast processing, uh, causes like zoning out or what actually
is it's owning into something else.
So you could be like talking to somebody on the autism spectrum, and
then they'll spot something of a minor detail, but of intense interest to
them and in a zone into that one thing, but zone out of the world, and then
you'd be like, yo Dan, why are you not.
Responding to me, you're not talking to me and they'd be like, Whoa, sorry.
I'm just checking out this like thing on the floor, which is like super
interesting to me right now that in itself is zoning out, but you're not
you're joining in, but people would see it as a lack of focus or a lack of
attention or a short attention span.
I know that if you have add and ADHD, you're going to, I have a lack of
attention anyway, or a short attention span, but autism in itself has that.
Um, experience because people zone into different things,
but zone out with the world.
If you kind of get me, I know you guys kind of understand
what I'm saying right now.
So, um, that is super, super interesting, but these were all actually
very, very unique traits of autism.
So don't rule these out when you're looking to investigate them.
Does this child suffer from an autism spectrum disorder?
Does this kid have also, do I have autism?
Don't rule out anything.
These are possible traits that will be, um, co-occurring with
autism and are very unique.
Indeed.
And I just think that they're super, super interesting.
So, um, I guess that in this video we're done, I will see you guys in the next one.
