Hi all
I have just published the first video on the Autistamatic channel on YouTube. I am hoping to convey a taste of the duality of Asperger's and HFA - both the benefits and the deficits. In order to also reach the NT audience I have done it on camera, which I'm not entirely comfortable with, but it's a means to an end.
Please offer any constructive criticism, I do want to be as representative of as many of us as I can without making too many generalisations. I hope to present a genuine and favourable picture of both our struggles and our triumphs to others on the spectrum, and those outside the spectrum.
I will shortly post the second in the series and I hope to produce 2 to 3 a month in future.
If you genuinely like the video or it's message please share it with others and subscribe to the channel, it will help me a great deal because I would like to make a success of this channel. It is not currently monetised so it will not be delayed or interrupted by advertising.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy.
EDIT: Following feedback from this forum the following wording has bee added to the video description:
Warning: There is a short section including static between 9:18 and 9:25. If you are sensitive to static noise or images please skip these few seconds.
Thank you for your comments Jolynn. I think you'll enjoy the next one I'm currently working on "You don't look autistic" which touches briefly on microaggressions, and discusses the ways in which we adapt to social situations along with why doing so causes us such strain.I look forward to your next videos! Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed itThe whole time you were talking about the "autistamatic zone", I was wondering how it differed from "hyper focus" in ADHD
What is an OH?My OH, whilst a very intelligent woman, is not technically or artistically minded but she's great for helping me get it right with very precise, constructive criticism. She's my "test audience".
What is an OH?
Oh, okay. Got it.Other Half - in my case my wife.

It works now! Thanks!Hmmm... I don't know why that is - It was working when I posted it. It's too late for me to be able to edit the post now, but here it is again
