I Discovered a New Autistic Trait! (Hypervigilance and Sense of Responsibility) Autism From The Inside 2024-07-04 | I think I’ve identified a new autistic trait. It has something to do with rest, burnout, analysis paralysis, monotasking, focus, attention to detail, perfectionism, and it doesn’t yet have a single name. I think once we get it labeled, it will be helpful to a lot of people. The individual components are well known when considered in isolation, but there’s potential for a much bigger impact when they are considered all together. In this video, the working title I have for this phenomenon is responsibility hypervigilance, but let us break it down and comment what you think it should be called.🎞️Timestamps:0:00 Introduction0:41 A new autistic trait?3:18 The specifics5::20 Keeping track of new responsibilities9:14 Everyday examples of this trait10:32 The positives16:00 Perfectionism-----------------------------------------------👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!

The Burnout Trap - Are You Spending Your Energy Well? Autism From The Inside 2024-06-27 | Do you ever wonder about the Reason Why You’re Always Tired? The burnout trap looks like trying to do less and less, until we can barely function at all. It’s tempting to ask questions like: “How can I rest better?” or “How can I do less?” when actually a more helpful question may be, “Are you spending your energy well?” What if, instead of doing less, we could remove the barriers that prevent us from doing more? In this video, I will share the most common burnout traps and my strategies on how I spend my energy well to avoid burnout.If you're interested in a 1:1 Coaching session, visit this link: autismexplained.kartra.com/page/ga573🎞️Timestamps:0:00 Introduction0:13 The Trap of Avoiding Burnout1:00 The Burnout Experience1:45 The Burnout Trap2:14 Your Environment5:10 My Personal Experience10:00 Instead doing less, remove the barriers to doing more10:30 Let go of non-essentials13:30 The Limits-----------------------------------------------👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!

How to Be Social with Autism (Avoid Social Isolation with Social skills training) Autism From The Inside 2024-06-20 | Many people ask how to be social with autism? And avoid social isolation? Considering that autism is largely a social disability, having social skills training for autistic adults may seem like a good idea. After all, autistic adults need to improve their social skills, right? Counter-intuitively, this approach does not usually work because these trainings are designed with stereotypical relationships in mind, and do not allow space for genuinely authentic relationships. In this video, I will share some insights as to why this approach doesn’t work and share an outline for a strategy on how to tackle social isolation.🎞️Timestamps:0:00 Introduction0:43 Social Isolation in autistic adults1:48 Barriers in participating in society2:15 A Robust Social Network matters2:40 How to make friends?3:26 Building Trust5:41 The Autistic Life and Friendships5:57 The Alternative if the typical does not work6:55 Start with a goal7:20 Quality vs Quantity10:32 Putting myself in the right pond-----------------------------------------------👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!

Aspergers and Autism – What has changed in getting a diagnosis? Autism From The Inside 2024-05-02 | What is the difference between Asperger's and Autism? Asperger’s was considered to be a type of autism alongside other types of autism. However, we are in a period of autism acceptance where there is still a lot of stigma, and we’re still slowly transitioning from an entirely deficit based model to the kind of autism that you can actually be proud of. For a lot of people embracing that Aspie identity was a really positive thing and people can’t just change their identity overnight just because psychologists decided to change the terminology in the diagnostic process. So, in this video, I will share what has happened and why Asperger’s is being used less and less and where I’ve landed in terms of Asperger's and Aspie in my own life.

Are You Overcompensating? - How to let go of dysfunctional relationships Autism From The Inside 2024-04-18 | Have you ever asked yourself, "Why are my relationships failing?" Maybe you need to know how to let go of dysfunctional relationships. If you're anything like me, you can relate to putting a lot of work into relationships, but it doesn't always pay off. Often, when I give too much work in a relationship, everything goes well until I need something in return. This happens because of overcompensation. We tend to try too hard to overcompensate in a bad relationship. What's wrong with trying? While trying is good, overdoing it isn't. In this video, I'll share how to recognize overcompensating behaviour and three ways to overcome it to maintain good relationships.

9 COMMON Mistakes that therapists make (Can therapy be bad for you?) Autism From The Inside 2024-03-28 | Can therapy be bad for you? There are mistakes that therapists make that could make it so.

Making Good Friends as an Autistic Adult (4 Steps to Leverage Your Special Interests) Autism From The Inside 2024-03-21 | Making friends as an autistic adult is more challenging because we often don’t share stereotypical interests with the rest of the population.

Should you change yourself for others? – Finding balance in relationships Autism From The Inside 2024-02-29 | "Should you change yourself for others?"Grow your mind with detailed book summaries at shortform.com/paul and receive 5-days of unlimited access and an additional 20% discount on the annual subscription.Should you change yourself for others? First, ask yourself, “How much am I willing to change for this person?” and “How much am I expecting in return?” If being considerate seems right after answering these questions, then it's fair to expect others to be considerate of you too. This is because, very often, the burden of change and accommodation is put onto the autistic person. It's good to accommodate others, but remember not to overlook your own needs because we could be chronically undervaluing our own needs when we build the habit of accommodating other people’s needs without asking them to accommodate ours. In this video, I will share how we could find that balance so that we could establish boundaries and expectations and answer the question “How much should I change for others?”🎞️Timestamps:0:49 Introduction2:34 Should I change for others?

Managing Anxiety and Autism: Effective Techniques I Use Every Day Autism From The Inside 2024-02-15 | Managing Autism and Anxiety is not an easy task. I recognise that everyone’s experience of autism and anxiety is a little bit different from each other. However, I’m not a psychologist, I’m not interested in other people’s definitions, I only care about what works. My focus is on managing my own body and emotions. So, the distinction between what anxiety means for me versus another person isn't personally important for me in this situation. My goal is to identify what I'm feeling for myself so that I can recognize it when it occurs and develop self-awareness around questions such as: How long does it last? What intensity does it have? When am I likely to feel it? What does it mean? What does it do? In this video, I will explain how I address these questions and share my strategies for overcoming anxiety.Master Emotional Intelligence through Autism from the Inside flagship course here: autismexplained.kartra.com/page/EQ101🎞️Timestamps:0:28 Introduction1:49 Recognizing patterns and naming them1:58 What I mean by “Anxiety”2:38 Developing Self-Awareness6:42 Ignation Spiritual Tradition9:25 Let it go11:08 How to manage anxiety-----------------------------------------------👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!

Are you always on the lookout for executive functioning hacks? While there are a lot of tools we can use to outsource executive function, such as using calendars or leveraging Artificial Intelligence for emails, in this video, I will share a different approach – building a second brain. What is a second brain? It refers to creating an External Storage System to help you organize, sort, & track your information to alleviate the burden on your working memory. Sounds good, right? Unfortunately, it is not for everyone, including me. When I try to do that, I end up collecting way too much information, and my list of ideas becomes unmanageable.

How do you know youre autistic? 9 Common Ways to discover your autism as an adult Autism From The Inside 2024-02-01 | How do you know you’re autistic? Did you discover your autism? If you’re diagnosed later in life, there’s a big chance that a self-discovery process was a part of your journey. There is this common misconception that the usual way to find out that you’re autistic is that a professional notices it in you and gives you a diagnosis. Sure, that makes sense for a medical model. That’s how we diagnose most of our physical illnesses and even our mental illnesses. However, it is not a common way for someone to discover that they’re autistic. In this video, I will share the 9 most common ways that I’ve seen on how someone begins their journey to an autism diagnosis. Which one did you experience?

Autism and the Art of Small Talk – How to avoid small talk and still make a connection Autism From The Inside 2024-01-25 | The art of small talk for us is typically a draining activity. However, someone teaching traditional social skills would probably tell you that small talk is just what you do. It’s basically how you initiate a light conversation with someone you don’t know well or when you’re just trying to be polite. What if it is not always a question of “Do I like small talk?” or “Do I not like small talk”?
