YouTube makes it difficult to copypaste long comments, so please refer to the original video if you're unable to read the screenshots.

I am trying the pause method, but I think the only reason it's been working is because I'm in a slump and just less inclined to talk in general. Oversharing is a big problem for me, and I have the issues these commenters talk about. I really wish I knew how to control it all the time, but sometimes it's such a strong impulse, my inner voice is saying "Shut up!" but my mouth just runs away.

I had it right when I was fully mute 😪

old people use old language, get over it, translate it already.

“Spectrum,” is pathology, as though the neurodivergent all belong in some pen together - as if all of reality belongs to the NT, but we only exist on a little slice of it.

I already talked about “developmental.” Don’t bitch about other people’s terminology if you still say “developmental.”

Sorry. You know how it is, speak the unspeakable shit or go crazy. 😳💜💜💜

So.. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that my various issues, my IBS, my constant fatigue, general lack of energy, near permanent ache all over my body, joint stiffness, my brain fog, my poor sleep and constantly feeling cold might not be lots of small and unrelated issues at all.

My mum had fibromyalgia. She was also very likely to have been autistic too although she was never formally diagnosed. But it does seem, genetically at least, I've inherited a few of her traits. Her/my #autism, her/my #EDS and now it seems her/my #fibromyalgia?
