I went to SMC and it makes me so happy to see the increased awareness and support for neurodivergent students! <3 Feedback on the video: please include closed captioning! It's ironic that this video is meant for people who may struggle with auditory processing and that captions aren't available LOL

Two years ago I started watching videos about autism as I have young family members who are diagnosed as autistic. I started to see myself in them so I then did some recommended online tests and scored reasonably positively. I am now 80 and have felt stupid and lonely all my life, struggling with anxiety , swpression and suicidal desires. But I'm still here. I failed totally in school but later in life, around fifty and divorced, went back into education and ended up with an honours degree which proved to me that I'm not stupid. Life has been a struggle always but I see no real need to fight for a diagnosis now, as I feel sort of vindicated now and have discovered talents I never knew I had.

I was told by my psychiatrist that because I could carry on a conversation with him, I could not possibly be autistic. I was then diagnosed as having BPD traits, and told I wasn't special because loud noises really bother me. I will be finishing up the assessment process (with an entirely different doctor) on June 26th. I WISH all psychiatrists could get on board with the facts about females and autism.

I grew up being abused in any possible way there is, in a middle class family. The signs were always there, being but I started off thinking I had BPD (at 30) to Autism ( at 35, which I didn't believe) to being an HSP (at 40) to CPTSD (at 49, which I definitely know) to being neurodiverse (at 52) back to thinking I'm Autistic (which I'm sure of), three weeks ago (at 52)

This s great and all however people are not their diagnosis. I’m not sure how stating you are autistic will help with much.

Would you rather someone who has personal experience with autism talk about autism or a neurotypical person? A neurotypical person can read textbooks about ADHD/autism, but they'll never be able to fully understand it. That's why so many people go undiagnosed

You can't know neurotype from visual markers, so it is helpful for other people who feel alone in their way of thinking or living to see other people accepting that part of themselves publically - representation is important for any minority

Therapists have told me over and over again that anyone autistic can NOT mask behaviours or self reflect and change behaviour so basically totally opposite to what the speaker is presenting. For that reason people are not given the diagnosis.
Excuse me? I am very capable of desicion making all though I make them diffrently to others, but in my individual expirience mine ate usualy more thought through, more logical and more information based. I also life in swizerland, one of the european countries where AS is legal, and should be. Now for one, its expensive, and its not like I can walk in and have "made" the desicion and they will just off me. Its a loooong process and you can get disqualified for many reasons. Autisem might be such a reason depending on the individual btw. Dementia and Alzheimer is on. You have to be a member and have some paperwork done, bevore you get a diagnosis that imolies you have limited capacity for making informed desicions. So autisem may be a disqualivier. You also have to be your own legal guardian and proof that what ever concitions and reasons you have to want to end your life has been dealt with with multiple other ways first over several years. Multiple Doctors and Psychologists are involved to make it ETHICALY sound. Why don't you take care of the BS that is going on in the US first huh? Like actualy getting mandetory healthcare and ending schools that allowe for tortures "therapies" on autistic kids with no solide sientivic back up but known side effects like suecidality??????

I was diagnosed ASD level 2 (I live independently though) last year at the age of 53. I spent 20 years in and out of hospitals/treatment facilities for severe/chronic eating disorders (diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa restrictive and purging type; Atypical Anorexia Nervosa; as well as ARFID and EDNOS at times). My eating disorder began around 9 years old and was severe for multiple decades until I was 45 years old. I was misdiagnosed all of those years with mental health disorders I did not have and drugged with medication I did not need and that harmed me terribly. I was traumatized by the so called "treatment" I endured. I have severe anxiety related to my autism (and social situations) and I also have PTSD due to abuse/bullying all of my life as well as being abused and horribly mistreated by psychiatric and psychology professionals. I refuse to have any contact with the psychiatric/psychological system/professionals, and even the medical system/doctors (if I can help it) again!

I was diagnosed with level 2 ASD and ADHD at 50, last September. I know I am lucky to still be alive, as I have had clinical depression and anxiety my whole life and C-PTSD and now OCD. I wasn't in and out of hospital but I was labelled 'bad'. Nobody heard or saw my pain and they still don't. I am a Registered Children's Nurse and I am trying to help children and their families not to go through what I went through, or at the very least, not alone.❤

Interesting that there is a link between anorexia and ASD but I am surprised that ARFID wasn’t mentioned. As a child my doctor was very perplexed about my extremely limited diet but yet I didn’t have a poor body image and wanted to eat. My issues were sensory in the most part, and now when reading about ARFID that explains it perfectly.

Diagnosed at 52, now 55. When the person in the short video said "I challenge you to live in a world where you're never allowed to finish what you're thinking, and never allowed to actually say everything that you want to say," tears unconsciously appeared in my eyes, and I couldn't stop crying. Sometimes it just takes one random person to put something into words that affects your entire being.

That exact same experience for me, at that sentence. Diagnosed a year ago at the age of 47. Not sure if too late or still in time to recover any resemblance of the capacity I had before the two subsequent burnouts which finally brought me to AuDHD diagnoses - after I had utterly exhausted all my resources to compensate for and camouflage my autistic traits.

@@ChrisstineLynnn thank you so much for your kind words. To be fair, I have spent the better part of the last year recovering, learning, and reconstructing my identity. It does help, as has finding the autistic community and being able to rely on a great professional team. But there's clearly also no going back to the life that was.

@@TiigerUrr yep, I hear you. It’s been three years of going back and thinking oh my gosh I can’t believe I did that, that was horrible of me, then realizing that I really didn’t have any other information at that time. I mean based on the age that you and I are at right now, there was no possible way a diagnosis could’ve been made on us at a young age, especially as females- it just wasn’t on the medical radar or anything back then. I swear, every day I find out something new about myself, or in a medical regard, I find out as aspects of my dreg ululated nervous system that help me understand everything that’s been going on with me. By all means, please let me know if you’d like to connect or rant or vent via email or anything. I have not been able to find any decent autistic women my age to talk to. Either way, I again wish you peace and a great journey of discovery from here on out. :-)

Thank you for this ❤ I'm 40 and only recently self diagnosed, this is so validating, especially when people don't belive it when I say I’m autistic.... KInowledge like this helps me explain and teach others who are willing to learn and mean well, just lack the knowledge as I did for all my life.

This is so important. I raised two autistic daughters and did not get diagnosed myself until I was 72! I read everything that was then available when my kids were dx’d and it never crossed my mind that I was ASC as well. I have gone through quite the grieving process about this but I now see myself with much greater compassion. Thank you for this video

I can accept that Prof Happé is a well-intentioned professional; nonetheless she would not have achieved such an eminent status without subscribing to some particularly pernicious and much-criticised theories about autistic people, whether female or male. It was very discouraging to hear her refer, early on, to the discredited autistic theory of mind and the 'mind in the eye' test. This theory has been especially harmful to autistic people in different ways. I would urge anyone coming here to read this excellent paper on the problem: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6959478/

Thank You Professor Happ'e! As a psychiatric nurse of over 35 years, I should not be learning about this subject, and my own diagnosis, because of a KZitem algorithm, particularly considering suicide is the second leading cause of death for those like me. This should be mandatory education for all health professionals, not just those who happen upon the information due to a curious interest!

The veterans have the same issue. They have to learn services available and other things like how to say something specifically with certain vocabulary, to get the help they need, from each other. The doctors and staff purposely hold info from the veterans and administration rules prohibit communication between doctors of different departments and clinics. Even with the veterans permission. We have to help each other. And supposedly many of the "doctors" and/or staff/faculty in the medical field are neurotypicals, so they basically have no idea what we really are thinking. Glad you are finding out about yourself. I hope your endeavoring to deal with life with the new info goes well. There's a very good neurodiverse community here on YT. Welcome.

This is a very helpful/therapeutic video for me. My older sister has severe developmental delays as well as autism. My childhood and adult life have been/are very impacted psychologically as well as financially (once I have to take care of her after my parents pass away). Having a disabled sibling really affected my esteem, confidence and overall self worth. It led to a lot of personal issues I suffer with to this day.
