Mine has to be TheMysteriousMrEnter. So many people detest him, but I actually like him a lot due to how expressive/intelligent he is. He does take thing in cartoons seriously sometimes, but that makes him even more enjoyable to watch. He's like Angry Joe in cartoons, except for the fact that his anger isn't usually played for comedy.

I admit, I didn't know that was a thing.

Amethyst from ask an autistic. She explains autistic traits very, very clearly. And She looks cute too.

Quite frankly to me several of the ones I have seen feature someone who doesn't seem the least bit autistic. They seem to have certainly read and read about autism and are very knowledgeable about it. But I absolutely don't see it in them personally.

In randomly searching I found this video. To me this is someone who definitely appears to have autism.



Now with this guy, I personally don't see it at all.



Now that's just my personal opinion. I'm certainly not an expert in any way whatsoever.

Does Neil Cicierega have autism? If so, then him.

I looked him up and there's noting saying he has autism. To me autism is a lot more than someone who's just different, quirky, nerdy, geeky, eccentric or whatever. But that's me.

Going with what Ezra said, I think its a shame that almost all of the autistic people I have seen on YouTube are the kind that are able to pass fairly easy for neurotypical and tend to romanticise it almost. Either that or its really just some parent monologuing about how hard it is while their child sits in the background. I dont mean to downplay their symptoms but there isn't really much of a representation of more visibly autistic people. I know from experience that there is a rather large gap in experience between the two having at times been on both sides.

As far as it goes though, I do like Amethyst from Ask an Autistic because of her personality and knowledge of the subject.

Are there any well known ones who have both autism and adhd? I would really like to see a video about that.

To post a video means bieng able to pass for 10 or 20 minutes or so. And because it seems like it is easy does mean it was.

"Undiagnosing" based on a few videos. No should do.

I'm going to wait and PewDiePie dies and then I'll posthumously diagnose him with autism and say that is my favourite.

I don't get why someone would post a video about being autistic and then purposely put a lot of effort into appearing neurotypical.

I don't go looking for autistic Youtubers. The only one that I watched consistently was ICanTalkNowAutism. But he had some issues with his account and doesn't upload videos anymore. Also, I think some videos were deleted.

For a twenty minute well presented video there may be an hour or more of kit takes.

Never discount such traits as detail focus, and how that will influence someone to put hours into persuading that twenty minute film to look polished and professional.

I like your posts Ezra because they are well written, you make your points veryvclearky, and they are courteous.

Mr Regular, of Regular Car Reviews.

Though it must be said that he has never mentioned having any form of Autism, it is my opinion & some others, that he has Asperger's.

She's the only one I know so she's my favorite too. I stumbled upon her; I don't go looking for autistic vloggers either.

Ezra - the guy in the second video seems like it to me.
