All right, guys, let's go on with this video.
Okay.
So females on autism, right?
How can you spot it?
Well, a lot of people have difficulties.
I've done videos on why girls are being left out of the offices
and diagnosis a lot of the time, why they get misdiagnosis, how
you can spot it more in females.
But I wanted to do this video on a, on a small kind of like three.
Um, major ways that you could just like, boom, boom, boom, really spot
autism or females very quickly.
Uh, and I'm going to go through right now.
I'm super excited about this list and, um, yeah, I just wanted to, um, just do this
because I know there's so many people who are just struggling to find a diagnosis.
I was struggling to find answers to a diagnosis for
females in the autism spectrum.
And, you know, are you backing up the wrong tree?
Is this something I should be looking into?
So here goes.
Right.
Okay.
So the first one is not wanting hugs.
Now girls on the autism spectrum, um, will display emotions differently
to typically neurotypical people.
Right?
And this will show in a lack of wanting hugs.
Um, it's like, you know, it's actual tactile sense where
somebody gives you a hug.
Um, they will be very disconnected from that emotion and they
don't, they won't like that.
Right.
And then also be when they're younger as, as like small children, when you
don't trust to pick them up to give them cuddles, or you pick them up
to move them around, or if you're in a situation where you need to
pick them up, be it, happy or sad.
They'll have a difficulty letting you and allowing you and liking you to do that.
They will all kind of feel distant.
And so tactile sense.
Connected with emotion will be very much destructed with autism in females.
So this is a very interesting one to see, because you can just you'll know
somebody likes hugs or they don't like hugs because it was a very interesting,
uh, you know, situation to be in.
Okay.
So a number two is that love of routine.
Now autistic females have routines.
And as early as they can create them having routine like doing the same thing
every day or, or reading the same book every day or even same cereal every
day, or sleeping in the same position on their bed every single day in the same
thing, this is kind of built up routine.
It's something that will really keep them comforted and help
them feel safe, especially.
That you know, younger girls in the autism spectrum, and this
is a good way to identify it.
If they're very dependent on the routine, because it brings them
safety, security, and joy, that is almost like a, um, a dependence.
And it's a neurological dependence because it, because of the way the autism brain
works, that looking for a repetition.
In routine to give them safety structure and some kind of like joy from just liking
the same, you know, doing the same thing over and over again, which is why routine
is very strict and strong within autism.
And this is a great way to identify that within girls in the autism spectrum.
Okay.
So number three, the last one, which is a very, very important one over goodness
it's so important is daily burnout.
Now, daily burnout come from the fact that females on the autism spectrum
use masking more than males do.
And masking is kind of like.
Put on a mask to go about your day.
So when you go to school, you don't kind of like have a meltdown when
you don't want to do some in school.
You kind of like pretend to go along with it, even though you're terrified inside.
And the girls like, you know, feeling really uncomfortable and terrified inside,
but they go along with it because they want to fit in and that situation because
they want to do well, they have a very.
Very strong edge to do something like that and quite a powerful
kind of passion to fit in.
And so by doing that all day, you can just imagine to me if you're doing it
in school or doing it in university or work or whatever, and you come home
and you're on your own or you're in your home environment, just kind of
blah, you know, you'll just burn out.
You'll be completely exhausted.
You'll have it, no room for anything else to go on.
And you may be in the worst mood possible.
You may even throw up.
I know of a guy.
He said that his kid came home and that would just throw up after spending
all day in school because of that whole process was so overwhelming.
And it's exhausting.
You know, you, you got to think from that perspective, keeping up the ffacade
all day, it's going to be exhausting.
It's going to burn out.
And so this is a very notable factor females in the autism spectrum when
their out all day and they come home.
You have this daily burnout.
