If I was ever forced to make such a video it would be: "Hi everyone. I'm going to show you how to ________ . Step 1 .... Step 2 ... Step 3 ..... (demonstrations with ambient noise deleted). For a written summary of instructions go to the (time) mark. Thank you!" Done.
Wherever possible I wouldn't even have my face in the video. Just my hands doing the thing.

That is probably what most people want. Getting straight to the point. Thanking people at the end of the video. People would then be more inclined to subscribe or whatever to your channel. It's a shame so many YouTubers don't know this when making their videos.
If I'm that interested in someone's channel, I go to the description myself to check out more information and follow them on social media sites. I don't need to be told or reminded for the first 2 minutes of each video to do it. And why do they say "don't forget to like"? It's not really something you forget; you hit the like button if you want to and you don't if you don't want to, it's not something you have to be reminded to do.
When I write a post here I don't fill the first part of the post up with "don't forget to reply, and follow me on Facebook, the link is in my signature" do I?

Predictively, started sneezing. Yet suddenly, my ear starts to rumble whenever I breathe.
I know, I know.
This is a stupidly tiny nuisance that simply destroys quality of life, that is loud, embarrassing and utterly disgusting.
Not a painful, deadly, disabling disease or symptom that creates real complications to be ever worth worrying about.
Then my stomach starts to act up. This is happens not with what I ate or even ever think or feel -- HA! I wish but it's this body's hormonal status, unsurprisingly.
Again, nuisance -- NOT worth complaining about. It's just a natural part of having a reproductive parts of the female.
Now I can't go back to sleep.

I don't know if this Morrisons supermarket system thing actually exists where they have an autism friendly hour a week just exclusively for autistic people, but if it does I bet you any money you like that parents with toddlers aren't excluded from this special hour. I hate how people are so lenient with toddlers.
"Adults and older children with self control can't go in during this time but it doesn't apply to toddlers because toddlers can't help making a noise, everybody knows that and so everybody, including autistic people, must tolerate them."
Nope, not in my book. The noise in the supermarkets that disturb me isn't the beeping of the tills or people talking, it's the sound of children under 6. So if I made up this rule I'd just make an hour a day be completely toddler-free so that people with autism, ADHD, anxiety, sensitive hearing, etc, can enjoy their shopping in peace without someone's brat having the biggest tantrum in the world over nothing. Yes, there should be peek times for families with small children.
Ps. I love babies and small children personally (like if I know them) but if I don't know them and they're screaming the place down, I hate them.

So how would you accommodate autistic parents of toddlers?

When people tactless talk about how they hate cats and especially the snide ones who play the helpless victim who were attacked by cats. These are usually the ones who think they are the center of attention.
"Oh my goodness you like those things, I have a traumatic experience," "Me, me, me."
I don't know.

More people have been attacked by dogs than by cats, yet cats get a bad press if one does harm a human.

Tired of this argument cycle:-
Get vaccinated
- What for?
To protect you and others from covid
- If it will protect me and others, why can't we socialise properly yet?
Because the vaccines don't stop you getting covid
- Then what's the point in the vaccination?
Because it significantly lowers the risks of getting ill or dying should you get covid
- Then why can't we socialise properly yet?
Because the vaccines don't stop you getting covid
- But you just said the vaccines significantly lower the risks of getting ill or dying should we get covid
It does
- Then what's the problem?
We still need to be careful
- Why?
To stop people getting covid
- But most people are vaccinated now
Yes but the vaccine doesn't stop you getting covid.....
To answer this never-ending argument, let's just say the government just wants to control everybody and take away our freedom.

Why are some people so disgusting and disrespectful? Today I came across an empty can of (non-alcoholic) drink and an empty pack of cigarettes on a bench in the bus station - right next to a bin. The can was put upright on the bench like it had been placed there intentionally, not accidentally dropped, and yet there's a bin right next to the bench! Would it kill them to put their rubbish into the bin? There's a hidden rule where I come from not to pick up other people's rubbish as you "don't know where it's been" (yes, we're all paranoid germophobes here). But why should we move other people's rubbish anyway?
Also when I'm cleaning buses at work I find the most shocking things. One time there was a used sanitary towel on the floor at the back of one of the buses. I mean, what the f**k? Who would do that? And why? And even how? Someone must have reached into their underwear and pulled it out only to be thrown on to the floor of a bus. That is one of the most dirtiest things one can do. Makes you wonder how some people's minds work.

I hate litterers. Close to where I work there's a little park I always go through on my way to work, and there's benches and bins at some points.
There's always, very consistently, a whole bunch of rubbish, subway wraps, napkins and drinking bottles and all, strewn about the bench and the ground even though there's a bin right next to it. Some people haven't the slightest sense of decency.
As for that second thing... eww.
My life is just one big sh*t show after another. My cat/bestie is dying from epilepsy, my two autistic friends ditched me for another so I am no longer their best friend, I humiliated myself in IMR many times, and the one thing I am looking forward to this week won't happen until Wednesday, which is a day and a half away. I just know I am going to fail at keeping my cool...
