Autism In Girls: 5 Intriguing Difficulties Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

Autism In Girls 5 Intriguing difficulties that women with autism face daily. Impacting perspective from an autistic female. Signs of autism in girls is different to that of them in boys and is why autism in females is often ignored or misdiagnosed. I spoke with an autism girl about autism in girls and women and how the traits differ from that in males. There are probably just as many autism women as there are men in the world but we just don't have the diagnostic understanding everywhere yet to diagnose them. But be it an autistic girl or an autistic man, the autism symptoms are the same at the core of the condition, with co-morbid issues like communication, mental health issues and OCD. I love to help spread awareness and understanding about autism in girls as it is something i have found that is missing online. I hope to make more videos about autism in girls on my channel to help educate more people about autism in girls.

LIVING With AUTISM How To ADHD Interview: (Real Life Experience) Feb 01, 2019

Show notes

Living with autism may be difficult for people, here I discuss my personal story of growing up and living with autism in my life experience. Living with autism can be a struggle and also manageable if you know how. I try my best every day to make living with autism not a struggle for me because I want to improve all the time. I am sharing in this video what it is like living with autism from my perspective, not a BBC documentary or a short film, but a real life sit down conversation about living with autism and having an autism spectrum disorder. Lots of people want to know what it’s like to live with autism, and what does autism look like. Well to be honest it is just like anyone else, living with autism is different to that of a neurotypical person but it is just as diverse as any other condition in the world. I find that autism and Aspergers Syndrome are superpowers and thus can be empowering. I talk about these “autism symptoms” in this interview and how they impact living with autism. So what is life like for autistic people and people on the autism spectrum as a hole? It is simple, everyone is individual and that is no exception for autism. Like you have heard before, if you have met one person with autism you have only met one person with autism. People are so diverse with their needs, that every experience of living with autism is different for everyone. So for me and my experience this is real life for me and this is what living with autism is to me. Please share this video if you think that it could benefit the life of an autistic person.

This is the difference between Autism and Aspergers: 1. IQ Score. People with Aspergers tend to have average to above average IQs, compared to that of a person with ‘classic autism’ who would typically have a below average IQ. 2. Verbal Communication.

People with Aspergers syndrome have a large vocabulary and have a strong use of words, compared to that of a person with ‘classic autism’ who typically have very limited vocabulary. 4. Day To Day Life Skills. A person with Asperger’s syndrome can learn day to day skills, like how to put on clothes and the importance of eating food. Learning how to go shopping for goods etc. Compared to a person who displays ‘classic autism’ typically they cannot learn these day to day life skills as easy and require additional life long support for these skills. 5. Speech Delay. Typically a person growing up with Aspergers Syndrome will not display any speech delay in early life. However a person with ‘classic autism’ will display large delay in learning speech. — Autism and Aspergers have distinct differences despite both being called as an autism spectrum disorder or condition. The autism and Aspergers test is basically the same, so what’s the difference between autism and Aspergers Both conditions have similarities like autism and anxiety as they both part of the autism spectrum, but they can display differently due to some factors you will learn about here.
