Chronologie
- 00:00:00 - 00:05:00
La communauté "Nerd Divergent" se réjouit des diagnostics de ses membres car cela permet une meilleure compréhension de soi. Un créateur de contenu a été récemment diagnostiqué, ouvrant la discussion sur l'autisme et l'ADHD, et les implications sociales de ces diagnostics.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
Parler de diagnostics tardifs et des stéréotypes liés à l'autisme est crucial. Il y a souvent des mécompréhensions sur les caractéristiques de l'autisme et de l'ADHD, et sur la manière dont elles se manifestent chez les personnes extraverties ou créatives.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
Les diagnostics aident à clarifier des expériences de vie passées, mais peuvent aussi entraîner des défis comme le "high masking". Ce dernier est un mécanisme de cope pour beaucoup, leur permettant de fonctionner dans des espaces sociaux malgré leur neurodivergence.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
Découvrir que plusieurs problèmes de santé peuvent être liés à la neurodivergence est libérateur. Le partage de ces réflexions sur la santé mentale et l'acceptation de soi est important pour sensibiliser et normaliser ces expériences.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
Il est crucial d'avoir une perspective équilibrée sur les diagnostics de neurodivergence, car ils peuvent affecter la vie personnelle et professionnelle. Cependant, ils peuvent aussi guider vers une meilleure compréhension de soi et des adaptations nécessaires.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
L'évaluation de l'autisme implique une introspection sur les expériences de vie, et beaucoup trouvent cette analyse utile. Cependant, obtenir un diagnostic peut avoir des implications légales et sociales à considérer attentivement.
- 00:30:00 - 00:35:00
L'acceptation de la neurodivergence dans la société est encore un défi. Le besoin d'évoluer vers une meilleure compréhension et de briser les stéréotypes négatifs est essentiel, tout comme la nécessité de changer les mentalités sur les ambitions et les succès personnels.
- 00:35:00 - 00:43:36
L'introspection et l'authenticité sont valorisées comme des moyens de croissance personnelle. La communauté souhaite voir plus de discussions honnêtes et introspectives sur la santé mentale, loin des normes superficielles de la société.

- 00:00:00this is a very nerd Divergent friendly Community nerd Divergent to nerd Divergent we love to see
- 00:00:04a person get diagnosed because it means they can know more about themselves and their place in the
- 00:00:09universe and also every time I see a content creator get diagnosed I just know there's a
- 00:00:14correlation causation maybe not literally where every time I see a content creator get diagnosed I
- 00:00:20think to myself of course because who else spends this much time dedicated to making content someone
- 00:00:26never watches or everybody watches Jack sepai has come out let's hear him talk about it I'm so happy
- 00:00:31for him it must feel really good to know a little bit more about yourself I Like Trains now that we
- 00:00:36get that out of the way I wanted to do a video talking about a recent thing that happened to me
- 00:00:40which was I was diagnosed with autism I'm going to leave some time there for a lot of you to be
- 00:00:45like yeah duh we knew and Jack is already uh Jack seai his real name is not Jack right I don't watch
- 00:00:53him isn't his is his real name Jack or is that the name he calls himself on YouTube I don't remember
- 00:00:58but Jack sepai is also ADHD so he's odd ADHD which is kind of cool also is his volume okay thank you
- 00:01:05his name is sha Sean is his real name Sean cuz I think jpai is like a fake name yeah Sean okay
- 00:01:11thank you thank you well if you knew why didn't you tell me no one told me I want to talk about
- 00:01:16it because I think it's important to open up that conversation because after having it be diagnosed
- 00:01:23shout out to his berserk t-shirt officially by a doctor a lot of people came to me and were like
- 00:01:29but you're so like social and you're so like your Comm is he though is he though because content
- 00:01:36creators are really good at making people think they're social but are they communication is great
- 00:01:43and like I couldn't tell and I think that that's an important distinction to make because even for
- 00:01:48me growing up also extroverted autistic people exist in like the '90s or the early 2000s autism
- 00:01:55had to be that thing that was what is now known as non-verbal autism it had to be the people who need
- 00:02:00to stem all the time it had to be people who need repetitive motions who can't really communicate
- 00:02:05well it was that like really stereotypical version of it that a lot of people still think today is
- 00:02:10what autism is and don't get me wrong that is part of the spectrum of it and some people are that way
- 00:02:16but that's not the entire picture anymore and for me for a long time I was like oh I have ADHD and
- 00:02:23I thought that that was the reason why a lot of the things I do are the way I do them I mean there
- 00:02:27is a lot of overlap let me tell you between ADHD and autism and it's so interesting to know which
- 00:02:32one's causing which but it turns out that ADHD and autism are also like a ven diagram or like they're
- 00:02:38part of the same Spectrum or however you want to visualize it it's basically I don't want to say
- 00:02:44basically but it to put it like in the basic most banale terms they're basically the same thing and
- 00:02:52I got tested because of my own curiosity I just like figuring out how my body is why I am the way
- 00:02:58I am like fit into different places in the world and also just to kind of like give myself peace of
- 00:03:05mind because when I was a kid I was The Outsider I was weird I played video games too much on my
- 00:03:10own I I like stayed liking the things that other people didn't really like anymore like they moved
- 00:03:16on like oh I don't like video games anymore and I'm like oh I still like Love video games
- 00:03:20they're cool I love Sonic the Hedgehog and trains I actually don't even really like trains or Sonic
- 00:03:26the Hedgehog I that's how how no one knew I was autistic as I got older I was like I have ADHD for
- 00:03:33sure definitely and I went and got tested for that and got medicated for that and it didn't really
- 00:03:38work and I I'm trying like different medications right now for it but at the time I was like it's
- 00:03:44not really like clicking like I have friends and other people I know who have ADHD and they
- 00:03:48take medication like it's night and day that's not always the case for everybody but just some of the
- 00:03:53things they were saying about their ADHD I'm like yeah I'm kind of like that but also like a lot
- 00:03:58more it just felt when I was younger I basically felt like I was The Outsider and then when I got
- 00:04:02ADHD it was like I still kind of feel like The Outsider so I felt like there was something more
- 00:04:07so I wanted to go get tested for autism as I was learning more about it I started reading
- 00:04:12stuff that people with ADHD can have autism as well that they overlap with each other quite a
- 00:04:18lot and then I was like does anyone know how old sea is is he got to be in his 30s like me right
- 00:04:24probably a little older than I am cuz that's also interesting too is what age people are getting
- 00:04:28diagnosed because they're actually realizing as they get older um there's like deficiencies or
- 00:04:34something isn't working and you'll know because of the data like your life will show you 34 okay
- 00:04:40cool cool cool so I'm actually older I'm a little older um but yeah like that's one of the things
- 00:04:45that's fascinating is like you want to get to know yourself more you want to figure out things about
- 00:04:49yourself and so it might feel to Boomers like oh you all are just getting diagnosed but the
- 00:04:54process is really getting to know ourselves better and we're relying on that data to be accurate so
- 00:04:59it's like a misdiagnosis is really scary as many of you know who's ever been misdiagnosed
- 00:05:03it's like a scary process because you change your life around a diagnosis and then you realize oh
- 00:05:08my gosh this thing that I've been doing hasn't been working and like he said with ADHD it's
- 00:05:12not necessarily like oh great I have ADHD give me meds it works you have to pick the meds that work
- 00:05:17for you there's different kinds of ADHD meds not everybody's ADHD relationship is the same being
- 00:05:21autistic is in a monolith like all of these things are so individualized and yet there's so much
- 00:05:27overlap which is why like sometimes like you know recognizes like or like you can like oh yeah like
- 00:05:33I see myself in you even though we're different people we might have some overlap and I think
- 00:05:37that's why exciting to see like people have a realization about themselves later in life because
- 00:05:42now you can recontextualize your whole life as oh cuz autism isn't something you get diagnosed
- 00:05:47with unless it actually is something that you can reference in your childhood like in order to be
- 00:05:52autistic you also have to see um deficiencies that exist in childhood through adulthood
- 00:05:59and so it's kind of interesting when you're an adult who wasn't diagnosed as a child you have to
- 00:06:04go back through your whole childhood and find out every moment in your life that something stood out
- 00:06:08to you or something was weird or someone gave you feedback that oh you're being a little different
- 00:06:14and then you have to understand like what is that difference why is it being pointed out why did
- 00:06:18somebody notice it why did I notice it myself and then you have to realize like oh okay now
- 00:06:23my life makes sense to me in a in a different way your life could make sense to you I'm sure
- 00:06:28Sean went through his whole life thinking my life makes sense to me until it didn't and just word
- 00:06:34to the or word word to the warning to the word word to the warning word to the wise word to the
- 00:06:39wise when you are high masking and you start to unmask disabled will be your new favorite word
- 00:06:48word because High masking sounds great sounds like a skill and it is it's also a huge cope and when
- 00:06:55you stop having to cope because you're in a safe space you realize how disabled you are and it is
- 00:07:01a very interesting experience for a lot of people to go through and so just FYI once you get off the
- 00:07:07high masking train it's hard to get back on okay eting down the list was like if you have autism
- 00:07:13you likely have ADHD you likely have depression and anxiety you likely have intestinal issues you
- 00:07:18likely have hypermobility and Joint issues and you likely have asthma and I was like I have all
- 00:07:26of these things I just have like a soup of like mess going on inside of me and then as I started
- 00:07:32to understand it was like oh all of these things are kind of like under the umbrella of neura
- 00:07:36divergency and I just thought it was interesting to get checked for different things very cool I
- 00:07:43think this is so cool that he is getting checked and sharing it with his audience because what a
- 00:07:50cool thing to make people aware of like you can be cuz look like Sean is successful 30 million
- 00:07:55subscribers he's really well-loved in communities I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him
- 00:08:00but right like he is still discovering things about himself in his mid-40s and he's sharing
- 00:08:05it to such a large audience I've heard through Tik Tok that this was coming out because somebody said
- 00:08:10keemstar and other people were like going after him for being like Oh all these people just want
- 00:08:14to be autistic just a reminder none of those people are going to help you in your life this
- 00:08:19is going to help you so much more in your life than somebody like keemstar who's a boomer who
- 00:08:24thinks oh everyone just wants to be autistic okay and talk about impostor syndrome you can't trick
- 00:08:29the doctor s into diagnosing you with autism if they're actually doing their job they're
- 00:08:33not going to misdiagnose you if they're being lazy if they're not paying attention if they're
- 00:08:36not actually interested sure but you have to get a medical professional to diagnose you okay it
- 00:08:42has to be a doctor somebody who understands what they're diagnosing and if they're really good at
- 00:08:46their job they're not going to want to misdiagnose you okay I think the problem is like we run into
- 00:08:52people who we run into people that are human so they make mistakes or they're lazy or they're not
- 00:08:59interested in actually knowing you that's why I say fire your medical professionals that aren't
- 00:09:03genuinely interested in helping you find the right answers the true answers so just learn more about
- 00:09:10myself and as I've gotten diagnosed with ADHD and autism and even for me getting diagnos with
- 00:09:15autism was just such a massive positive I like he was talking me through it and was like some
- 00:09:20people react poorly to it some people don't like to be confronted some people don't think they have
- 00:09:24it and are a bit in denial about it and I was like I see this as nothing but a win I finally
- 00:09:28have like more answers about myself why I am the way I am and not not just for other people and
- 00:09:35where I fit in with things cuz like it doesn't change anything about me I'm still the exact
- 00:09:39same person I was but for me it makes me go easier on myself having these diagnoses diagnoses about
- 00:09:48the conditions that I have like knowing that I'm autistic ADHD or DHD as they call it um makes me
- 00:09:55go easier on myself being like okay that's why I couldn't really keep up in college because my
- 00:09:59brain just kind of like works at a different pace yes it doesn't really study things the way other
- 00:10:04people study it in a neurotypical way and it it's made me like recontextualize my life a lot more
- 00:10:11and made me just feel better about myself G yes I think that's the biggest thing that I've taken
- 00:10:17away from all of this cuz I've lived with it for so long now 34 years of my life that like it's not
- 00:10:23it's not going to change anything really okay can I say something too there you know how um
- 00:10:29there's pikm there's also nerd Divergent pikm where there are nerd divergents that are so
- 00:10:36ashamed of not being able to finish school that instead of actually admitting like their
- 00:10:40disabilities like got in the way they actually will say like I didn't even need school like
- 00:10:45school I don't even need it and uh it's not my autism or it wasn't my disability like it's kind
- 00:10:51of interesting I'll me people who won't realize how much their nerd divergency is impacting them
- 00:10:57because they think it's like shameful which is ironic because after they get diagnosed they make
- 00:11:02an attempt to better their life but also making an attempt to better your life is also a reminder
- 00:11:07that they have a thing and they don't want to have a thing so then they pretend like their
- 00:11:11thing doesn't impact their life but the thing is is that sometimes it's hard to admit this thing
- 00:11:15is impacting you sometimes it's hard to admit like oh yeah like I'm this smart and capable person but
- 00:11:21God forbid I have to like sit in a classroom like what is that because the insinuation is that dumb
- 00:11:26people are unable to sit in a classroom but that's not true right like that's not how that works and
- 00:11:31so it is kind of cool to hear him say like okay this makes a lot of sense for my schooling like
- 00:11:35I think about my schooling growing up and how everyone in my school even in homeschooling was
- 00:11:40telling my parents get her diagnosed for ADHD and my parents were like no my kids don't have these
- 00:11:44things these things are made up and it's like yeah all that time I was struggling in school could you
- 00:11:50imagine if I had a different relationship with my education maybe it would have been different or
- 00:11:55maybe it would have been the same but it's kind of interesting it'll just make me dealing with myself
- 00:12:00a bit easier it'll make me go easier on myself and treat myself a bit more kindly and I think
- 00:12:04that's really important because how many of us don't treat ourselves kindly and a lot of people
- 00:12:08are probably like Sean why you telling everybody well it's not like you got diagnosed with cancer
- 00:12:12or something I get it um like I said it doesn't really change much about myself and it's not it's
- 00:12:19not like a see you know how people okay I've met people who are like oh yeah my diagnosis isn't
- 00:12:23going to change anything guys if I got diagnosed it changes everything for me a new diagnosis
- 00:12:29means my life is about to change cuz I'm about to do everything different because like it means the
- 00:12:34thing that I was struggling with before that led me to getting a diagnosis means the thing that's
- 00:12:39going to help me not struggle as much means a change in my life you all getting diagnosed and
- 00:12:43not changing your life when I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia it changed my life I started working
- 00:12:48out I started paying attention to my body I'm gluten-free like I literally changed my life my
- 00:12:54life is not the same you know what I mean because I don't want to be in the same struggle I was in
- 00:12:58of course changes everything because I'm going to get better now not cure I'm going to have a
- 00:13:03better life because that was the point of seeking the diagnosis to get better not to cure it but to
- 00:13:08learn to live in symbiosis positive symbiosis with it so yeah I get confused I think when I
- 00:13:12hear people say like this diagnosis isn't going to change anything addition that's like really like
- 00:13:17life-threatening for me or anything like that but I think it's a good conversation to have because
- 00:13:22when I talked about being diagnosed with ADHD the amount of people that came out in support of that
- 00:13:27but also said that they got got tested because of me like even my agent said he got tested much
- 00:13:33later in life older than I am because of the stuff I was saying great and I know that some people are
- 00:13:38going to say the same thing about this like oh I didn't know autism can like present itself that
- 00:13:45way like looking at me you wouldn't think that I was autistic for a lot of people so I think
- 00:13:49it's important to have that conversation and also just normalize it yeah I'm trying to you know what
- 00:13:54I'm trying to change this industry I'm trying to I'm going into next year see how the nois changed
- 00:13:59things it did change things it changed the content in a better way more representation we love to see
- 00:14:05it with a a an evolutionary mindset that I want to change this industry from people who are obsessed
- 00:14:13with ambition and Legacy Legacy is just another word for ego and narcissism like you're trying
- 00:14:20to build up a life for yourself that you want people to remember you after you're dead you
- 00:14:25know I remember having a criticism of Jack sepai once I think when he was taking a lie detector to
- 00:14:29was that ja sepy right where he was like saying that Logan Paul just cares about clicks and
- 00:14:34Views but I was like yeah but like you have 30 million subscribers I will say this is different
- 00:14:38categorization the Logan Pauls are different than the Jack sepis even if both of them have a
- 00:14:43ton of subscribers Logan Paul will sell his like firstborn son for a dollar bill but Jack sepai
- 00:14:50is willing to take a pay cut if it's the right thing to do and that's the difference and then
- 00:14:54the result might look the same outwardly like Jack sepy does thumbnails and he has 30 million
- 00:14:59subscribers and he didn't get there on accident but he didn't have to sell his firstborn son to do
- 00:15:04it but Logan would absolutely sell his firstborn son to sell Prime and that's the difference so
- 00:15:12I'm I'm much more a fan of Jack septi bubble than like the Logan Paul bubble right cuz like I don't
- 00:15:17like it either I don't like the selling out morals I don't like the selling out your firstborn child
- 00:15:21I don't like the people you're willing to throw under the bus for success and for what for the
- 00:15:2670 years you're going to live here you're just going to R a bunch of people's lives like what's
- 00:15:30the point of that right so yeah shout outs to Sean for wanting to go into 2025 making a difference
- 00:15:37how self- involved is that do good things and hope people do good things back and just spread
- 00:15:43positivity and joy you know but I want to change this sort of mentality around mental health and
- 00:15:49the way people operate and this whole idea of like chasing ambition and Views and goals and projects
- 00:15:56and being better than yourself every single day it's try to want to be better but at the beest of
- 00:16:01absolutely everything else in your life where your mental health struggles and all you're doing is
- 00:16:04being productive and making things and just not living your life or being a person or exploring
- 00:16:10your own mental health and your own mentalities or dealing with the stuff in your past that you
- 00:16:15up as a kid that's driving you to be ambitious because your dad probably instilled something
- 00:16:20in you or your mom wasn't proud enough of you so you're trying to like you know what I mean trying
- 00:16:24to break down these walls and not like hide away from all of this [ __ ] yes yes ma'am have people
- 00:16:30like sit in this sort of like pseudo masculinity nonsense that we're all kind of hiding in um at
- 00:16:35least from my perspective being like I don't know I'm just kind of tired of the lack of conversation
- 00:16:44around a lot of this stuff and a lot of people when I announced on Twitter that I had autism
- 00:16:48people were like dude why would you admit to that like it's some sort of bad oh because they're
- 00:16:52going to hold it against you they're going to hold it against you they're going to make videos and
- 00:16:59every time someone says something they're like that's your autism now don't get me wrong in a
- 00:17:02safe space where people are all autistic it could be your autism but you're not punished for it
- 00:17:07which is why in my community you're not punished for like having a disability but we also we want
- 00:17:14to give each other tools that it doesn't run our life Run the World autism who run the world autism
- 00:17:20you know but also they will use it against you they will they'll make videos and they'll say
- 00:17:29oh this is the autism that's why I like to remind people of all these people we talk
- 00:17:34about throughout his history autistic like okay also I saw a Tik Tok where it's like why do people
- 00:17:39make fun of Elon Musk for being a robot he's autistic and that's true too just a reminder
- 00:17:43Elon is autistic so if you ever see Elon Musk and think he socializes weird he talks weird he talks
- 00:17:48like a robot yeah don't be an ableist he might be a person but his autism isn't why he should
- 00:17:55and a lot of people think autistic people are quote creepy because because um they're able it
- 00:18:00like they don't even know they don't anything about autism right so just like keep that in
- 00:18:04mind right bad thing it's some sort of thing that suddenly like makes me worse or makes me
- 00:18:09a different person it doesn't most of I would guarantee you that 99% of the people who do
- 00:18:16YouTube or do content creation or any sort of creative artistic thing all have ADHD if
- 00:18:23didn't I say that at the beginning of this video [ __ ] I'm telling you the Arts the obsession the
- 00:18:28interest the fact that like if you're willing to do it for not the money there's something
- 00:18:33about that where like I will do this job for the rest of my life even if I don't make money cuz I
- 00:18:38just I seem to love this thing this is the thing my brain seems to love right same with like even
- 00:18:43asmin who I've un subscribe to and move away from that boy bubble cuz it's too toxic but even asmin
- 00:18:48I'm like get diagnosed you're autistic like do it because he's the kind of guy same thing like
- 00:18:53he will do it whether he makes the money or not like when you do things when it's not motivated
- 00:18:57by money but it's actual interest and you have like an actual focus on something that's most
- 00:19:02likely neur divergency and that's why it's interesting that's why it's interesting but
- 00:19:08yeah believe me when I say Jack is Sean is right and people will absolutely discount what he says
- 00:19:16in the future because of his autism and that is why ableism is bad that's why discrimination is
- 00:19:21bad because you're unable to view a person through their like lived lens and understand that some of
- 00:19:26the greatest Minds throughout history that you like worship the ground they walk on probably
- 00:19:31autistic especially in the philosophy bubbles okay all these debate Bros that are referencing
- 00:19:39all these philosophers without ever thinking about their nerd divergency and that's it the debate bro
- 00:19:43bubble is so nerd Divergent but they think they're better than the other nerd divergents they're like
- 00:19:49I'm better than you because like I'm not disabled it's like I don't even care that I have ADHD I'm
- 00:19:54going to debate you and it's like okay but also do you see in the ways your ner icy is because
- 00:19:59you're not taking care of it is playing out in your life negatively cuz like you have to take
- 00:20:03care of yourself and sometimes our nerd divergency is because it's a disability can be very harmful
- 00:20:08to ourselves whether it's like grooming or eating or sleeping properly or anything else
- 00:20:13or maybe even in some correlation between ADHD and promiscuity maybe impulsivity that compulsive like
- 00:20:20um negative part of our life like these are all opportunities to be healthier not richer healthier
- 00:20:30there's a reason that a lot of us are attracted to a job where we make our own hours and we get
- 00:20:33to communicate with people through a camera rather than having to be in front of them 24/7
- 00:20:38exactly you know there's didn't I tell you every time YouTubers are so good at looking like social
- 00:20:44bees when really we're hiding behind this camera there's a definite pattern to this non-conformity
- 00:20:50aspect of like not wanting to do a regular 95 job so you sit in front of a camera playing
- 00:20:54video games or you know and I bet you like half of those people probably have autism and they
- 00:21:00just don't realize that that's what autism is like the way it presents itself and it's
- 00:21:04the sort of terminologies and the paperwork and everything about it the the conversation around
- 00:21:09autism and what it is is completely changing and 10 years ago I wouldn't have even said I
- 00:21:15mean even five years ago I wouldn't have said that I had autism and now here I am where I'm
- 00:21:18like yeah the signs were all there all along and the way it presents itself in me is not so much
- 00:21:25um apparently my communication is good but people don't realize like when I'm conversing with people
- 00:21:32I'm going through like a million different things in my brain I'm overanalyzing the way I am I'm
- 00:21:38over analyzing everything that I say I'm pushing everything through a filter in my brain so from
- 00:21:43my understanding if you're high masking you are overcompensating harder than a person who isn't
- 00:21:50masking like if you are uh unable to high mask like really high mask then you are expending
- 00:21:58so many more energy and spoons to that high masking which is why your body is like coping
- 00:22:04very hard with it but also when you stop doing that it's also why you kind of lose control of
- 00:22:10everything it's like balancing a bunch of plates and you almost like lose the skill and then it's
- 00:22:15like much harder for you but if you're this this this used to be much more of my life
- 00:22:21and when I stopped High masking as hard I kind of crumbled under the pressure because I was so good
- 00:22:27at filtering I was so so good at thinking about everything and I don't do it as much and it is
- 00:22:31getting me in trouble which is why moving into 2025 we're going to work on a healthy balance
- 00:22:36between proper masking appropriate behavior and filtering my thoughts before I say them out
- 00:22:41loud okay so we want to in instead of just saying well it's my nerd divergency it's how my brain
- 00:22:50works I know but let's like up our skill level and remember that we have the skills through
- 00:22:56therapy and other means to wait filter speak and I'm going to practice it's going to take
- 00:23:02me a bit but I want to get back on track of being actually not just like high masking as a cope but
- 00:23:08like proper interaction as a person because I can't expend the spoons I've been using to high
- 00:23:13mask but I can spend those spoons getting better at pausing it just just pause like it sounds so
- 00:23:20crazy but like people who are silent they just do better in life you know people who are quiet
- 00:23:24people perceive them as smarter because they're not talking so then they project their thoughts on
- 00:23:28to that person I just can't just don't talk but then I have to work out my facial expressions
- 00:23:33cuz I'm also like I'm also like you know my facial expressions be giv it away I'm reading
- 00:23:40everyone's body language all the time to like see where things fit in so I always say that
- 00:23:44I'm a really good judge of character because I'm like hyper analyzing people all the time
- 00:23:49and not in any sort of judgmental way where I like throw it back nope but just like in the
- 00:23:52autistic way where you're observing every detail of a person and considering what category they
- 00:23:56belong to I get it at them but for me it's like a a thing that I can use to kind of like help me
- 00:24:01get through conversations and social structures a bit easier and I'm able to weave in and out
- 00:24:06through that and I use comedy as my tool to do that I can like sit down in a group of people
- 00:24:11use comedy and within five minutes I can get a beat on everybody and I can figure them out
- 00:24:15and and I thought this was my superpower my whole life and I thought I am so good at socializing I
- 00:24:22am people love me I'm so good because I can read the script and I know what people want me to say
- 00:24:30oh wait I told my partner the other day I was like I don't how a small talk when a person says wow
- 00:24:36the weather am I right you look up if it's sunny you say I know girl it's so hot outside if it's
- 00:24:41cold you say oh my God girl it's so cold outside and he was like Britney and I was like what
- 00:24:46he goes no if you're making small talk it's an opportunity to have like a conversation I was like
- 00:24:51yes but if they but if they say oh my gosh this weather I go yes and then I appropriately respond
- 00:24:58what are you doing to me right now and he's just like no listen I was like no you listen
- 00:25:02some opportunities are time to like bond with strangers and have an interesting conversation
- 00:25:07that's off the cuff most of the time small talk is an appropriate back and forth script
- 00:25:12Hi how are you today I'm good how are you today I am good this weather am I
- 00:25:16right I know it's so cold outside haha and then you walk away I know the script I've
- 00:25:22been studying it my whole life Don't lecture me but also I know there are times in which
- 00:25:28you're meeting up with a person you're like oh my God I love your dog how cute thanks
- 00:25:31he's my best friend oh my God amazing coat oh my gosh thanks I got it from this store oh my
- 00:25:36gosh that store I know that store I also buy clothes from this store okay Bond Bond Bond oh
- 00:25:41my gosh blah blah blah blah and then you can maybe like figure out you both love the same
- 00:25:44band I know the scripts Don't lecture me but also you know it takes spoons it takes spoons
- 00:25:56that that's my super power guys I have autism I have superpowers I but and that's why it's hard
- 00:26:05when you're like it is my superpower cuz your superpower is a cope girl you just wait till
- 00:26:09you're too tired to use that superpower so with me it's sensory things like I've talked a lot
- 00:26:14about like let's say BB goes for a poop in the kitchen I can smell when he goes to the bathroom
- 00:26:20immediately I can pick up on the smell of [ __ ] a mile away I'm like a shark with blood in the
- 00:26:25water and then if he like shits on himself or something I'm like Evelyn you got to clean it
- 00:26:30up because if I look at it and smell it and touch it I will I gag okay when Indiana cuz
- 00:26:36she we took Indiana to the vet the other day and she's been um spitting up a lot more often and my
- 00:26:43partner will scream don't come into the family room don't come and like cuz I'll be he'll hear
- 00:26:48me while I have the heaviest Footsteps in the world and I'll start walking towards the family
- 00:26:51room and he'll be like don't don't look down don't look at it and I'm like what and like
- 00:26:55he tries to protect me from it because I'm very sensitive I will clean it I mean I've taken care
- 00:26:59of Indiana most of my life alone and I've cleaned up her spit before but it is one of those things
- 00:27:04where like I have to like suppress every part of myself not to join her and I'm very sensitive to
- 00:27:08like everything and so he'll try to like block me from it oh is my stream still here it should be
- 00:27:14he's still here but let me know if I cut off let me know wait I'm going to pause wait I'm going
- 00:27:19to pause it looks like my OBS is reconnecting am I here okay I thought it was me okay no we
- 00:27:23cut out for a second we cut out for a second all of this to say shout out to our partner
- 00:27:29who are able to understand we're having sensory issues we're not just trying to avoid the
- 00:27:32responsibility of like cleaning um cleaning up after our animals right like Jack ja Sean Sean
- 00:27:39isn't not trying to clean up after the animal he's trying to express that the sensory stuff gets it's
- 00:27:45intense that's why brushing my teeth is so intense brushing my teeth is like very similar it's like
- 00:27:51a gag reflex like it's really horrible that's why I'm like happy with the toothpaste that I
- 00:27:55found recently but also it took me a second to get used to it took me like a week or two to get used
- 00:28:00to it it's like really surprising at first it's really salty but at least it's not sweet non-stop
- 00:28:05like I want to be able to help but I can't do it I will gag crazy with certain foods I'm a bit weird
- 00:28:12with like the textures and the consistencies of them so for me it's like a lot of sensory things
- 00:28:17um but apparently I'm doing masking like all the time um so it's really interesting I I think it's
- 00:28:25interesting to see like a lot of the stuff that people talk about like in social situations and
- 00:28:29like no I'm just introverted and all you probably are autistic and you just don't realize it and
- 00:28:34unfortunately getting tested for autism is a really tricky thing to do cuz I went privately
- 00:28:39because the waiting list publicly on the NHS is like two years [ __ ] that I can't imagine having
- 00:28:45to wait that long to kind of like get an answer for things for yourself so I feel for everybody
- 00:28:50out there um who has to wait that long I'm lucky that I was able to go oh my God literally chess
- 00:28:57says when I'm brushing my teeth and family members are as well I have to go find a different washroom
- 00:29:00cuz if they spit near me I'll want to throw up instantly same as if I'm watching TV shows like
- 00:29:05if I'm watching a TV show and they're brushing their teeth I have to look away I don't watch
- 00:29:09it I can't if I watch someone brush their teeth I get nauseous that's why when when primary bedrooms
- 00:29:14have sinks next to each other I'm like no I need separate bathrooms I don't I can't watch
- 00:29:19people brush their teeth it grosses me out like it literally makes me so nauseous private and
- 00:29:24it still took like two and a half months to get that uh assessment ready and the assessment was
- 00:29:30fine for anyone who's thinking about doing it the assessment for me was go in and sort of like break
- 00:29:38down your life in a way that is like were you always like this as a kid how did you play with
- 00:29:44other kids how did you interact with other people were you shy were you communicative did you how
- 00:29:49did you imagine your play when you a kid and I as an adult how do you interact with other people is
- 00:29:55it difficult to like keep eye contact all of those types of questions that you kind of expect will be
- 00:30:01asked but there's an assessment form that they go down through that actually is like graded and for
- 00:30:07me one of the scores there was like a couple of things that I was being scored on but one of the
- 00:30:12scores was like the threshold was like anything over a 100 is probably autism spectrum and I
- 00:30:18scored like 121 so it wasn't like a crazy high number um but there's definitely like the traits
- 00:30:25are there um and you're not really supposed to say like moderate severe or like high functioning
- 00:30:31and all of that kind of stuff anymore because it's it's kind of degrading but you can kind of
- 00:30:35like figure out where I am on the Spectrum with a bunch of other like terminologies um but the the
- 00:30:43assessment I found actually quite interesting because it is some people don't like breaking
- 00:30:47down their life and like confronting themselves in that way but I I quite enjoy doing that cuz you're
- 00:30:53autistic don't you love that like it's cuz you're a I istic like it's cuz like that's why there is a
- 00:31:01correlation in the thought spot made a video about this um um thought saot is an autistic content
- 00:31:05creator wonderful person and she made a video about introspection and autism and how certain
- 00:31:12relationships with autism are actually the tool to be more introspective because you're self-aware
- 00:31:17enough and you have the ability to dissect information enough to realize like oh there's like
- 00:31:23something here and so yeah like a lot of people don't like to dissect themselves and learn learn
- 00:31:28more about themselves but there is a correlation between philosophy and autism I just like learned
- 00:31:33this that there really is a correlation between people interested in autism and I I'm sorry
- 00:31:38people interested in philosophy and psychology and autism like it's it like that stereotype of like
- 00:31:45oh if she's she's autistic if she like is majored in Psychology it's not even like it's really is
- 00:31:51a there is not literally true all the time but there is a high probability if you're like very
- 00:31:56interested in philosophy and psychology you could be autistic which is kind of cool that I'm a very
- 00:32:03introspective person and I like kind of figuring out how I tick so I thought it was an interesting
- 00:32:09assessment to go through but it's it wasn't scary or anything at least not for me so I would say if
- 00:32:14you're thinking about doing it but you're kind of like apprehensive about it or scared of it go
- 00:32:18for it um if anything the worst thing that can happen is that you end up exactly in the place
- 00:32:23that you're in right now well the worst thing that could happen is that you try to immigrate
- 00:32:26to a country where it's illegal to immigrate if you're Autistic or the worst thing that could
- 00:32:30happen is that you get denied for a job because your medical paper says Autistic or the worst
- 00:32:34thing that could happen is that you don't get the benefits you need because you're Autistic or the
- 00:32:37worst thing that could happen is that you don't get to adopt children because you're Autistic
- 00:32:40or the worst thing that could happen is that you get your rights taken away because you are
- 00:32:44autistic sorry to be a Debbie Downer there are actually serious consequences to getting
- 00:32:52diagnosed so Choose Wisely if you're ready to get diagnosed and tell people
- 00:33:00and that's probably not that bad but all the people out there whenever I'm playing video
- 00:33:04games and they're like man Sean's so distracted what is he stupid I was pulling my hair out every
- 00:33:10time he did this you guys are making fun of an autistic person yeah you bullies I get that a
- 00:33:16lot too why can't Britney like I got a comment the other day that was like why Brit um Britney
- 00:33:20it's kind of sad that you can't multitask as well and like you can't watch chat and do other things
- 00:33:24like even a dumb person could do that you're basically bullying autistic girl wow good for
- 00:33:30you buddy wow scream do you guys know that Tik Tok she's like stay away from my girlfriend
- 00:33:39scream but you don't feel so good now huh you guys were attacking me over stuff that I can't control
- 00:33:47how does that feel huh not so good some of the reactions to it though were really funny people
- 00:33:54were like Jack we know you did a 100 episodes of Happy Wheels and that that was funny or I posted
- 00:33:59like the mustard meme from the Kendrick album of me screaming and then right after that was
- 00:34:03like I got diagnosed with autism and people are like duh I think that's funny I think it's fine
- 00:34:11I'm okay with people joking about it I I don't really have a problem with that I think it's
- 00:34:15kind of funny but I also wanted to talk about it because this is sort of the Year where not only in
- 00:34:20my personal life I'm trying to live my authentic self as it's called and I'm trying to figure out
- 00:34:24more about myself and gain the confidence to kind of just be me as who I am but it's also
- 00:34:29the year of mental health for me and for thankas and I think it's that's another reason why I like
- 00:34:35pushed myself to get these assessments and to kind of like open up that conversation and be sort of
- 00:34:40that person that kind of takes that initiative so I have an audience of people that I can use that
- 00:34:46influence to spread a better message and be more positive about it and break down this whole like
- 00:34:51dude don't admit it autistic people are bad or like people are going to treat you differently or
- 00:34:56like it's not cool to do that or you know I'm just so tired of that amen I'm tired of this version of
- 00:35:03the internet that we live in where everyone has to be like crazy productive crazy ambitious build
- 00:35:08a legacy be as cool as you possibly can be show no signs of weakness whatsoever that's all [ __ ] not
- 00:35:16showing weakness and puffing your chest up and trying to be the coolest person you can be and
- 00:35:21be as productive as you can and do the coolest things you can be that's weakness to me because
- 00:35:26that means you're hiding from you're just working to hide from what you're actually scared of which
- 00:35:31is being alone with yourself and loving yourself o obviously I'm true I want to see Andrew tapate
- 00:35:38be alone in a room with himself without crying throwing ACH just kidding you should cry I love to
- 00:35:42cry being alone with yourself and loving yourself obviously I'm throwing out a bunch of accusations
- 00:35:50but and it's not true for everybody and but it's true for some of them okay not everybody but it's
- 00:35:55true for some of them it's all unique and it's all different but you know what I mean you know
- 00:35:59what I'm getting at you know where the vibe I'm sitting in is and I want to tackle that head on
- 00:36:05next year and I want to evolve I want to be an evolved version of myself let's fing go I love
- 00:36:10this introspection talk bro it really gets me going same 2025 is going to be transformative
- 00:36:16I feel it in my gut do you guys not feel it 2025 is going to be transformative for so many people
- 00:36:22probably depending on the stage you are in life of course like everyone's going to have
- 00:36:25a different version of it but I think like um I'm so excited I'm just so optimistic about it
- 00:36:31because I obviously I'm in my mid-30s everything's getting really exciting I'm learning so much about
- 00:36:36myself but more than that like I'm kind of sick of it too I'm sick of the negativity I'm sick
- 00:36:42of also like these boy bubbles that are so toxic and so sure that they are correct when they're so
- 00:36:48obviously wrong about life so I'm like I'm done I'm going to this is what I mean we're going to
- 00:36:53we're going to start focusing on content creators that are genuinely interested in introspection
- 00:36:58and genuinely interested in getting better and Sean is exhibiting exactly the attitude I want
- 00:37:02to see in people that is I kind of contradicts itself saying like going against the whole like
- 00:37:11be better every day but you know what I mean I want to be more no what what Sean is saying is
- 00:37:16don't be toxic positive or you're like hustle culture toxic positivity like you don't want
- 00:37:21to be hustle culture you want to be be more at peace every day be more line with your joy every
- 00:37:28day be more self-aware every day have a better relationship with your family and friends and
- 00:37:32yourself every day which is not the same thing as be better every day hustle culture more push-ups
- 00:37:37every day like figure out your joy being in sync with your joy and be good to the people around you
- 00:37:42that is a very different Journey than this this stag that's why I said yesterday on stream art
- 00:37:46two days ago whenever we um that what do we owe each other clip on my Channel right now there's
- 00:37:51a difference between climbing the mountain to the peak of the mountain to make a million dollars
- 00:37:55that's not in the mountain right and getting there to like self-actualized know more about
- 00:37:59yourself Maslow's hierarchy of needs the top of the pyramid is where no one gets to because
- 00:38:05we're all so stuck in the middle which is usually centered around like fulfillment and selfishness
- 00:38:09and money and Status which is fine but eventually if you're lucky you grow out of that and that's
- 00:38:14why I say being rich isn't the goal and never has been and never will be and if being rich is
- 00:38:20your goal what do you do after okay so now you did it you're rich now what cuz I tell you this
- 00:38:27right now it won't be enough it never has been it never will be it never will be open to who I am as
- 00:38:36a person and not dance around [ __ ] because of what everybody else tells me I should be acting
- 00:38:41like that's what it is um but thank Miss is going ahead soon tickets are on sale if you
- 00:38:48are close to the LA area you want to come see it we have so many guests I put them up already um
- 00:38:54you can go to the community I actually love that Chad says being rich is a side Quest love that
- 00:38:58love it great side quest but it can't be the main quest love the side quest though commity Tab and
- 00:39:04see it it's all over Twitter as well I've been posting he's talking about his charity that he
- 00:39:08runs and he makes like a he raises a lot of money every year it's pretty exciting so if you guys are
- 00:39:12interested in that a lot about it uh we have some incredible guests coming up we have some
- 00:39:17musical acts we have two shows that are going on it's going to be a great day I'm so excited for
- 00:39:23I can't wait to get together as a community and raise money for mental health and kind of like
- 00:39:28push this Narrative of positivity and change and upheaval that I think the industry so desperately
- 00:39:37needs um because it's not been a great year for YouTubers and people who everyone thought was
- 00:39:43amazing and great and like oh your numbers are really high so that means you're a great person
- 00:39:49you do a lot of Charity so that means you're a great person not always the case true um and
- 00:39:55I've always tried to be a bit more transparent and honest and break down that wall and that barrier
- 00:40:00and not build myself up into something that I'm not and I think that that's important that's why
- 00:40:04I'm having this conversation with you right now that's why I ramble that's why we're here that's
- 00:40:08why we do it that's the end of it all thanks for watching um who I don't know I have autism that's
- 00:40:17it yay okay we did it oh congratulations that's amazing I actually chat says which charities
- 00:40:23does he do it for I don't know um I'm assuming all the good ones but I don't know um you'll
- 00:40:31have to figure that out I'm going to link the video in chat so you guys can go check it out
- 00:40:36in case that's interesting to you I know a lot of Charities end of the year stuff is like charity
- 00:40:40end of the year stuff and even my partner and I have been discussing like which Charities do
- 00:40:44we want to give to and stuff usually it's centered around mental health autism whatever is associated
- 00:40:50with the thing that we're interested in donating to and you don't have to donate a lot obviously
- 00:40:53you know I get it but it is kind of a nice thing we always talk about like when we're you know if
- 00:40:57we ever make like an excess amount of money like who do we want to give it to like what charities
- 00:41:02do we want to like fund and I told him like I definitely want to fund the Arts like I have
- 00:41:05friends in the Arts and they're always looking for funding I would love to be a donor for one of them
- 00:41:11like I would love because their Productions are great but there's never enough money of course
- 00:41:15and so like I would love to be that person who can donate especially since we're not having kids
- 00:41:20it's like let's put that money towards Charities that we really love and Charities that use the
- 00:41:25majority of that money for actually what they're doing like the art communities I'm thinking of
- 00:41:29they really use that money to pay dancers to pay communities to like or pay their employees and
- 00:41:34to really put on the production so I'm like you know I'm stoked for that one day of being able
- 00:41:39to uh to be that person you know so okay shout out to Sean congratulations on the diagnosis
- 00:41:44we' love to see it there is so much Liberty in a diagnosis and there is so much freedom in knowing
- 00:41:51more about yourself and every time you're worried about unlocking something inside of yourself even
- 00:41:56though it is scary temporarily it is always worth it in the end especially since it always um it
- 00:42:01will always bring you closer to your joy and your sense of peace there's nothing better than getting
- 00:42:05to know yourself because if there's something truly scary about who you are as a person you can
- 00:42:10change it you can have a different relationship with yourself and that's what introspection
- 00:42:16extrospection allows you to do it allows you to take that thing you're so afraid of recognizing
- 00:42:21and admitting to and make it something that used to be a part of your story but no longer is
- 00:42:27but for so as long as you ignore it as long as you drag it into your future with you it will
- 00:42:32be in your present don't bring your baggage into the future let it be a story of your
- 00:42:37past my belly's being I'm okay I'm just fine
- 00:42:49yet all I do is not do you in my mind cuz I know I don't make sense
- 00:42:57I've been nothing but bless so why is my life a mess please tell me cuz I'm sick of thinking
