When were you diagnosed with Aspergers and ADHD and how were you diagnosed? I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome ADHD and OCD when I was 26 years old. This came after years of other diagnosis like anxiety dyslexia agoraphobia and all the other things that can come comorbidly with an autism spectrum condition they all kind of came to this moment in my life where the Professionals who work with autism were able to professionally diagnosed me with autism. It’s quite amazing being the age of 26 and then learning all about autism and not knowing what to do where to go from there as they kind of just give you the diagnosis but then afterwards there’s nothing like what would I do after this. You’re a successful YouTuber – what made you start to post videos about Aspergers and ADHD? Do you make a living from the work? So I actually started my YouTube channel almost by accident I only went looking on the Internet after having the diagnosis of autism and Aspergers Syndrome which as it was back then because now it’s just autism spectrum disorder or ASD, and when I came across videos on the Internet they were not really engaging in a positive way they were depressing and the people were not entertaining at all. So I decided that I would put a video out of myself, which was awful but looking back it may know it was my first video just talking about autism from my point of you to give people a little bit of like a insight in a happy way like a more of an up beat way talking about the subject without feeling some negative and that was really interesting. So obviously that became like a big thing when more people watch my videos and more people subscribed to my channel and then begin to think that I could monetise it all by add revenue and branding deals and stuff like that and then it came in like a part-time job and then became a full-time job. Now it’s like a full-time enterprise like a business to run and it’s amazing and I feel just so good that I’m able to do this because it’s helping people have able to make a living from helping people that’s the really good gift.

How you create change or autism with attention online. This is taken from a panel talk at MCM Comic Con London October 2019. I do lots of advocacy work and helping to change the way people who are uneducated in autism see autism. This is a big thing for me and what I do at The Aspie World, as people see autism one way and it is actually nothing like what some people perceive it as. How do you create change for autism? You need attention, when you create attention you create awareness and when you have that you have change and when you have change you have impact. This is the goal of many advocates and I just think we all need to remember that these are the basics of how to change and make impact on the lives of many autistic people.

Here are 5 VERY interesting things you need to know about Autism and ADHD. This is information I have never shared. 1. It is commonly com morbid to have ASD and ADHD. There are lots of people on the autism spectrum who also have a diagnosis of ADHD, this is very common, and extremely common among males on the spectrum. This is very interesting as ADHD and Autism go hand in hand in most diagnosis assessments for people being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. 2. My ADHD Is impacted by sugars, and caffeine. For me personally my ADHD is massively impacted by the intake of sugar and caffeine, so much so that for the last 10 years I haven’t had caffeine in my diet. I try to stay away from processed sugars and candy as this also impacts my hyperactivity behaviour. In fact when I have large intakes of sugar I find is very difficult to sleep at night. 3. ASD conflicts with ADHD. Usually when I want to hyper focus on an obsessive interest my hyperactivity wants conflicts with this in an interesting way and want’s me to jump from obsession to obsession, or topic to topic. This can be very frustrating as I am wanting to get settled in and focus on one thing but my brain is having a war with my mind. 4. ADHD made me super irritable in classrooms. Having ADHD caused me lots off issues in school like being unable to focus on my work and what the teachers were saying. It also made me super unhappy because I wanted to learn. On top of that my Autism made me really board in classrooms when I was a kid so this was a difficult combination, and stressful. 5.ASD is sometimes mis diagnosed for ADD This is largely because of the things like zoning out, obsessive interest, hyper focus, super smart, super creative. It is common among younger people to be mis diagnosed with ADD when it is actually Autism. There is more research into autism conditions now going on so i believe this issue is going to get better.

Here are 7 famous people with autism that you probably don’t know they were on the autism spectrum. Some very intriguing people in this list! There are lots of famous people with autism, and famous people with ADHD but we don’t always see this in the public eye. It is not to say that they are hiding the fact or that the don’t want you to know, it is just that some famous people with disabilities are not putting the disability at their forefront. There are super commonly known wants like Dan Ackroyd and Temple Grandin, but i wanted to look at famous people with Asperger’ syndrome that people didn’t already know about because this was super interesting. Growing up, to see idols that you look up to on the spectrum or famous people with dyslexia was so empowering and helped you feel more normal in a chaotic world. I think that seeing famous people with hidden talents like autism presents is just amazing and an amazing thing for the autism spectrum community. I love knowing if a famous person has autism because this shows me how there are so many amazing people on the autism spectrum and this is just amazing.

OCD Symptoms can manifest in many different ways. Here is one hack I use to eliminate an OCD of mine and it totally works FAST.

These sometimes occur after a person experiences trauma, but mostly it is a mental health condition that occurs organically. My OCD causes me to be late for things a lot of the time as i like to get things right before moving on to something else, and this makes me return and re peat the actions again until I'm happy that they are done correctly. I talk about how to treat OCD and how I treated some of my OCD symptoms, with basic hacks that anyone can use. I also have had OCD treatment before professionally. there are many types of OCD and there will be multiple signs of OCD but it is the same concept of compulsion to do something repetitively until it is done to a standard to ward off negative thoughts, these are symptoms of OCD.

You are on the spectrum and you enjoy stimming, so you are stimming. Someone burst into the room, picks you up, puts you out side on the street and says STOP STIMMING NOW. How would you feel and how would you react to this kind of information?

I was supposed to be appearing on a national TV show with just days left before the show starting, all bags packed, all filming done, to then get a call telling me I am not doing it anymore and all contact stopping.

You need these autism apps to help you or someone you know who has an autism spectrum condition. As I am an apple iPad user, most of these apps I am showing will not be autism apps for android, instead will be based around autism apps for iPad. Lots of people want to find autism apps free of cost but sometimes the better ones are paid for or a subscription based app. So I have laid out 7 of the best autism apps I actually use and I can recommend to people to use to help with their condition. Note that not all of the autism apps will be relevant to everyone. Most of these are apps for autism communication, but I have included one or tow that I sue for organisation and life management. There are a few autism speech apps available on the market but I tried to go off ones that I would recommend that would have most benefit to a user. Most of these are communication apps for autism, apart from the mental health type apps, these are mainly for communication.

Aspergers in adults, are obsessive interests good or bad? Aspergers in adults is something that I find a lot of people miss as they never seem to consider Aspergers in adults, and only think of children when they are thinking about an autism spectrum disorder. I have done videos on how to spot aspergers in adults, like an aspergers in adults test but for this I wanted to talk more about obsessive interests as I know that this is a huge thing for people with autism and it is something I think is super interesting. I love the fact that people with asperger's have the ability to really focus in on a topic or genre and learn everything there is to know about that topic. And with aspergers in adults it is an amazing idea to make this focus on obsession a potential career pathway. I try to encourage anyone on the spectrum to follow their passion and obsession, as they can become an expert on that subject and maybe create a career out of it.

Whether it is Aspergers Symptoms female or male, these 7 un common traits are tell tale signs of an autism spectrum disorder. These 7 traits are also Aspergers Symptoms in adults and not just children or young people on the spectrum. As a person ages, their traits may differ slightly but usually they stay the same at the core of the issues. What is Aspergers Syndrome? It is a lifelong neurological condition that impacts the way in which a person interacts with the world around them. It is now referred to as Autism Spectrum Disorder as it is autism. What are the characteristics of a person with Aspergers? There are some very common signs, like lack of eye contact, issues with social situations and facial expressions. But there are a list of Asperger Symptoms that are not as common, that are listed here. What a lot of people forget is that Asperger syndrome in adulthood is just as impacting on a person's life as it is when they are children. This is why the Aspergers test is the same for everyone no matter their age. Science currently doesn't know what causes autism but they do know it is linked to genetics, and the genes of a person's ancestors. 1. Repetitive behaviour: People with Aspergers Syndrome will thrive off routine and repetitive patterns. These can be daily life routines, getting up having the same food for breakfast, sitting in the same spot, watching the same show at the same time etc. These are massive characteristics of Aspergers. 2. Tics: Tics are usually associated with tourettes syndrome but tics can also be found within people on the autism spectrum. Tics can range from physical jerks to sounds noises and grunts that a autistic person may do involuntary 3. Anti Social Behaviour: Not anti social in the criminal sense but anti social as in, the person will prefer to stay at home, research their favourite topic, or play video games that go out with friends and family. This may be a few reasons, social anxiety, social issues and communication issues all associated with autism, and these are all co-morbid conditions with an autist spectrum disorder. 4. Fussy Eating: Being picky at eating can be a use tell tail sign that a person is autistic. Fussy eating comes from a Sensory Processing Disorder or (SPD), where a person who is autistic may be under or over sensitive to certain textures, smells and temperatures of foods. Thus making them seem like they are fussy at eating, when in fact it is a sensory issues caused by SPD that is co-occurring within autism. 5. Depression: Depression is a huge co-occurring mental health issue that autistic people have a high risk of developing. Many autistic people will suffer from depression at some point in their life time. 6. Short Term Memory Issue: As an autistic person will have excellent long term memory, probably the best long term memory you will see in a person. Unfortunately their short term memory is not the same. People with Aspergers Syndrome tend to have really bad short term memory, like remembering to go to a certain place at a certain time in the future etc. 7. Stuttering: Although this isn't the majority of people on the autism spectrum, some people will have a stutter or a stammer, possibly when they are younger and it gets less and less as they grow older.

What is Autism Sensory Overload and how do you help it? This video is all about autism sensory overloads. Sensory overload in adults can occur at any point in an autistic persons life due to the unpredictable nature of autism. But sensory autism symptoms are quite similar as they are all based around the senses. An autistic person may not have all of the sensory issues present for every sense but, they may have just sensitivity to sign or sound etc. That being said, an autistic person can also be under sensitive to sensory input also. There are lots of autism sensory overload treatment's that are effective and helpful, the most impressive to be is occupational therapy for sensory disorder related issues. People with an autism spectrum disorder like Asperger's syndrome are likely to have sensory processing issues and a co-occurring diagnosis of sensory processing disorder. In this video I show sensory overload examples that are the bets way visually and audibly that i can present an autism sensory overload meltdown with sensory overload symptoms.

An autistic individual may have trouble creating and maintaining social conversation. Also an autistic person may have difficulties understanding social cues or gestures which are typically unspoken rules of social communication and socialising with other people. 3. ROUTINES Routines are very important to autistic people as the individual enjoys the structure and familiarity of their routines. An autistic person may also not like to waiver from their routine as this ‘change’ can be upsetting and distressing in some cases for the individual. An autistic individual will enjoy the routines and that pattern of knowing what comes next which is why routines and structure are very important in the lives of many autistic people. 4. OBSESSIVE INTERESTS People on the autism spectrum tend to usually have an obsessive topic of interest that they know a lot about and become fixated or hyper fixated (hyper focused) on these specific topics of interest. These interests can change from time to time, but the same rules apply: hyper fixated and becoming knowledgeable in this topic. Also wanting to talk about said topic constantly. 5. SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER Sensory processing disorder or SPD is usually co-morbid with a diagnosis of autism. This means that many autistic people have SPD, and it impacts their daily life. SPD is the over or under sensitivity to environmental stimuli that causes issues with communicating with their environment, like the labels on clothes can be so itchy or irritating it can cause a meltdown, or a certain spell or texture of food can be distressing for the individual.
