I'm not going to mention my own since that would make me a sellout and probably against some forum rules but I do make vlog-like videos about AS and much prefer listening to someone TALK rather than trying to READ things. I'm sure there are lots of aspies who are the same way.

I mean most topics in these forums are 8 pages long and we all know how much each individual aspie like to talk. x.x Pesonally I get a headache when I read too much. Which is why I'm all "why am I typing so much?" right now so right, let me just ask:

Anyone know any good/funny/interesting Youtube channels about Asperger's Syndrome? Or just singular videos about it?

(This doesn't count as spamming links in my book since I'm specifically asking for them)

Welcome adkit. What took you so long? I thought you must already be a member here.

I've not found any AS videos I like much other than your own. Most are too serious or just plain weird, whereas you have humour.

Lol, two comments in and someone already recognized me by name. It's funny because I'm not using the Adkit channel anymore, I'm trying to get people to the InjuredMinds one.

I actually thought it was a shame you split them as I enjoyed the "lets play" videos as much as the aspie stuff. Yes, I know I can still watch those but I liked finding all your stuff in one place.

It was too much "stuff". I felt sorry for the people who DIDN'T want my let's plays. :P

Welcome Adkit, I loved your Youtube channel, especially your Asperger Syndrome videos and your play videos for "Let's Play Return to Mysterious Island"! !!

Yes I know of another Youtube channel where the woman does a lot of videos about AS, I think you might've already heard of her channel.

Her name is TheAnMish and her Youtube channel is at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAnMish

Hope you are well : )

Wrong Planet/Alex's channel is my personal favourite: www.youtube.com/users/thewrongplanet

Aspergersgirl and TheAnMish come in at a close 2nd and 3rd.

Also, check out Willow Marsden's channel. (forget the url, just search her name)

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

That first one isn't working, the channel doesn't exist...?

Also, why are all the favorites you people have females? :P Is that just one of those things that aspies do? We prefer to look at something cute? I mean aspie males are kind of known for being... hard on the eyes. But there must be good male aspie videomakers, right?

I think the majority of Aspie videomakers (making multiple videos on AS) on Youtube are females. This is a bit unusual coz majority of people diagnosed with ASDs are male.

Oh there's one more I can think of, I think he was officially diagnosed with HFA instead of AS.

His name is Arman Khodaei and his Youtube channel is at http://www.youtube.com/user/armankhodaei

Certainly you're not hard on the eyes, and I like the content of your videos :)

I don't understand how your brother could survive on Welfare in Sweden the entire time if he is unemployed? Isn't the Welfare benefits based on how much "work insurance" you pay when you're working?

Coz I imagine that SEK 320 / day is very little given that Sweden has a very high standard of living...

The link I posted is actually....http://www.youtube.com/user/theWrongPlanet. oops!

I also second Arman Khodaei's channel...he's my favourite male aspie on youtube. I think girls on the spectrum are a lot more confident in general...hence more likely to face a camera.

Really? I know quite a few. Here are some links:

http://www.youtube.com/user/philsaspiezone
http://www.youtube.com/user/davros1973
http://www.youtube.com/user/AUTISTICWEREWOLF
http://www.youtube.com/user/Bopkasen
http://www.youtube.com/user/CitizenJ4444
http://www.youtube.com/user/blackstarzero

And these are just several people I have on my subscription list. They're quite old because I was really into watching autism videos a long time ago, back when I actually had time to watch them, but I'm sure there are new people now who have started making videos about their experiences on the spectrum. I actually prefer watching male aspies instead of female, for whatever reason. Perhaps it's because I can relate to them more. I'm a weird case >.<

This is my channel, if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/user/ahmadomusic
Not directly AS-related but still about autism. I will try to post more videos in the future. There are also plenty of ASD videos in my Favourites.
