This gal is ... not that way. You might like her.


I am a fan of hers.

I watch "Fathering Autism."

I guess the father does seem sort of "casual" about the autism. But I believe the "casualness" is a survival mechanism.

He's made his daughter's life into a reality tv show on youtube. He actively asks people to "like" his videos. That doesn't seem very casual to me.

This is a pretty average woman who has a YouTube channel. Not at all cutesy. Very flat affect and to the point.

Personally I find her voice a bit annoying, but mostly because I think this is probably how people see me. She has a very precise way of talking.

That’s what, perhaps, makes it TOO casual.

Firstly, it's good to be in touch with you again.

I really enjoyed watching this interview. I related very much to
Dr Mordi, his expression of autism uncannily resembled my own. I also warmed to him enormously as a person and creative being in his own right.
It is good to hear from you again too.

Mordi does remind me of both of us, with his autism, writing and music. He does a lot of media appearances to raise autism awareness in Israel. I play with him in an all-autistic band. I think he is great.

Ohhh, yeah, Samdy totallllly rocks!

Very intelligent and doesn't usually spew out neurosis... it feels like she owns her s**t! Some people, while having good ideas, clutter them up by going off on tangents, "Please, just get to the point, won't you?"

IIRC Emongg has Asperger's.

That's about it for me...

Someone already posted one of my favorites. This is a new channel that looks promising.

This is another new find. He has made me change my views on autism.

If so, which ones are your favourites?
What do you like about them?

I have a new favourite channel - Mom on the Spectrum. I like her because she seems extremely "normal" and therefore breaks many negative stereotypes about autistics. Here is one of my favourite videos on her channel:

I watch a family vlog channel called Foolyliving but I don't think anyone here has heard of it because I've never seen it mentioned here even after using the search feature. They're a very nice family, and the two youngest children are supposed to be on the spectrum and were both diagnosed while they were still babies, which I think is a bit young for such high-functioning and articulate children with no developmental delays. Maybe the boy might have high-functioning AS but I don't think the girl has it, they post daily and in every video the girl seems neurotypical to me. But anyway, still fun to watch and I do like the family.

My two favourite autistic YouTubers that I personally relate to the most are Aspergers From The Inside and Yo Samdy Sam.
