Autistic Meltdowns in a Female Adult | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2021-02-11 | In this episode of Autistically Me, you'll learn about what an Autistic Meltdown is and what it looks like in a 25-year-old adult female with ASD. I talk about my experiences as a child, my triggers, the aftermath of having one, and some tips that can help me when I feel one coming on. In this video I include actual footage of me having a meltdown. It was a more minor one and on the tail end of it, but someone once asked me to see what an actual meltdown looked like, so I filmed a few seconds of one. It could be a trigger for some people, so please watch with digression. I do put a warning before it pops up, so you will be notified before it plays so that you can skip it if you need to.Instagram: @OliviaHopsSmall Business: www.UnbakedBar.comFemale Autistic Traits - Female ASD Traits - Females with Autism - Autistic Females - Girls with Autism - Women with Autism - Autistic Meltdown - Autism Meltdown - ASD Meltdown#ActuallyAutistic

How Discontinuing Products Hurt Autistic People Olivia Hops 2023-08-06 | I'm Olivia Hops and welcome to my channel! I talk about all things Autistic, mostly focusing on women and adults.In today's video, I talk about how discontinuing products, whether it's soap, laundry detergent, food, toilet paper- anything, can hurt autistic people. Why does it hurt us? Often times, autistic people are extremely highly sensitive and change is very difficult for us. Scents of products can be very overpowering for our brains and cause us to have meltdowns, so if we find one product we like and then it suddenly disappears, it can be very hard for us because one, it's a change, and two, because we may not be able to find another scent we like. Same goes for food and anything else.I know talking about this makes me sound like a big pain in the butt and very entitled, but I have no control over my brain's response to these things. If I could deal with any product just fine, I WOULD! Because who would choose to have meltdowns over their soap being discontinued on purpose?!Thank you for all of your support!

Do Vaccines Cause Autism? | AUTISM MYTHS Olivia Hops 2023-07-16 | Hey guys, it's Olivia! Thank you so much for tuning into another video of mine. Please be respectful in the comments are I will turn them off. This video talks all about Autism and vaccines. After seeing an ignorant post on Instagram correlating the increase in vaccines to the increase in Autism, I just had to make a video on the subject. Vaccines do NOT cause Autism! This is a myth. I go over where this myth came from and then talk about why it's false in this video. Correlation does not equal causation.

Succeed WITHOUT College as an Autistic Adult | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2022-01-16 | I'm Olivia Hops and I have Autism! In today's video, I'm giving you guys a pep talk. The reason? I want you all to know that you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to! Don't let your age, a disability, education level - anything - stop you from going for your dreams and achieving them. I had many people tell me my big dreams were unattainable, but I have achieved every single thing (minus keeping a plan alive...) that I have ever set my mind on doing. You can, too!Don't listen to ANYONE who tells you otherwise. They don't know your dreams (watch the video for what Steve Harvey did when someone told him he was never going to be on TV). If I had listened to some of even my closest family and friends, I wouldn't be where I am today. You may fail, it may sting, but never quit. Keep going. The saying goes, "I didn't fail, I just found a way NOT to do something." Also, college does NOT equal success. And no college does not equal a miserable life (despite what many people told me). If college isn't for you, that's 1000% okay. There are so many other ways to learn, such as internships, which is what I did. If you need any help with any of your dreams, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would love to help you if there is any way that I can. Believe in yourself and keep going. And don't wait! You never know when your last day on Earth might be. ***PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE TO FURTHER SUPPORT AUTISTIC ADULTS!***God Bless and see you soon! :)-Small Business: www.UnbakedBar.com (coupon AUTISM for 20% off!)-Instagram: @OliviaHops#ActuallyAutistic #NFL #OliviaHops

I have High Functioning Autism | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2021-11-13 | In this week's video Olivia Hops talks about why telling people they have "high" functioning Autism isn't a compliment, but a back-handed one! I go over why the "high" and "low" functioning labels don't work. Autism isn't a linear line, but a giant circle with endless possibilities! Just because someone may appear "high" functioning, it doesn't mean they don't have struggles. It doesn't make them any "less" Autistic. It just means they're better at hiding their autistic traits to appear "normal."If you like this video, please SUBSCRIBE and don't forget to press the bell 🔔, 👍like, comment and share.

10 More Female Autistic Traits | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2021-11-03 | I'm Olivia Hops and welcome to my channel! Today’s video is about another 10 Female Autistic Traits that affect me on a regular basis!In this video, I talk about 10 more autistic traits that affect me on a regular basis. I go over needing a routine, my bad habit of burning bridges, masking, and special interests.Many times when boys and girls have similar autistic traits, males get diagnosed, but females often do not. Females tend to get diagnosed only when their autistic traits are significantly and visibly debilitating. Clinicians are missing many girls who are on the less disabling end of the autism spectrum because we are often so good at hiding our autistic traits.Although these traits are very common in girls and women, boys and men can have them, too! Traits are not exclusive to one gender. Also, please remember that not everyone will have these traits. Every autistic person is different, just like every neurotypical person is! And just because you have some of these traits does not make you autistic, and just because you DON'T have some of these traits doesn't make you NOT autistic. Only a doctor can officially diagnosis.Girls are so often misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed with autism until well into adulthood. Please help spread awareness to girls and women on the spectrum by sharing this video. My goal with this video is to help other people "figure themselves out," just like my adult autism diagnosis did for me. Getting young girls diagnosed could change their lives and allow them to not deal with as many of the struggles I did growing up because I had no idea what was "wrong" with me.10 More Female Autistic Traits:• Masking• Burnout• Bridge Burning• Few Friends/Prefer Males/Prefer Adults/Prefer 1 on 1 Time• Special Interests• Overshare• Struggle with Hygiene• Confused About Sexuality• Superior IQ• Need RoutinesAspergirls Book Link: amazon.com/Aspergirls-Empowering-Females-Asperger-Syndrome/dp/1849058261/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=aspergirls&qid=1635905498&qsid=139-5617070-2218953&sr=8-1&sres=1849058261%2C1849857911%2CB0085GW6EE%2CB01LEXUKGU%2CB07Q1G76NY%2C1849055475%2C1510732845%2C0989597113%2CB07BYFDFBP%2C1647397243%2C1843106698%2C1849057575%2C1849059152%2C0997504528%2C184905634X%2C1732638101&srpt=ABIS_BOOKAutism spectrum disorder is a condition that affects the way people behave, socialize, and communicate with others. This disorder is commonly referred to simply as autism. It used to be broken down into sub-types, such as Asperger’s syndrome, but it’s now treated as a condition with a wide-ranging spectrum of symptoms and severity.Please enjoy and make sure to watch the video until the end to gain extra knowledge!

How Autism Affects Mental Health | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2021-06-18 | Sign up for BetterHelp here: http://www.betterhelp.com/OliviaHopsThis video is sponsored by BetterHelp.In this week's video, I talk about all things Autism and Mental Health. I discuss the differences between Mental Disorders (like anxiety and depression) and Developmental Disorders (like Autism), how Autism and mental illness are often comorbid, the mental health issues I deal with, and my thoughts on seeking help from a therapist.Even though this video is sponsored, these thoughts are my own. Even if this video was not sponsored, I would be giving going to therapy a glowing review (I already had a video about this planned before it was sponsored). I LOVE therapy. I have gone to therapy for over a decade, starting at the age of 13. I have always found it helpful and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling, whether your Autistic or not.I'd also like to emphasize that seeking help from a professional is NOT in anyway bad. It does not make you weak, less of a human, or any other negative connotation that often goes along with seeing a therapist. In fact, acknowledging that you need help and wanting to work on yourself makes you BRAVE and STRONG!#ActuallyAutisticAutism - Autistic - ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Aspergers - Autistic Adult - Autistic Female - Autistic Girl - Autistic Woman - Autism in Girls - Girl Autistic Traits - Female Autism Traits - ADHD - Anxiety - Depression - PTSD - Mental Health - Mental Health Awareness - Mental Illnesses - Mental Disorders - Developmental Disorders - Actually Autistic

Masking in Autistic Females | AUTISTIC MASKING Olivia Hops 2021-03-05 | In this week's Autistically Me video, I talk about Autistic Masking. I go over what it is, it's pros and cons, why we mask, and some examples of how I mask/have masked in my like.While females on the spectrum are usually very highly skilled at masking, men can be maskers, too! No autistic trait is exclusive to one gender. Skilled masking may just be more common in females. Many females don't even know that what they're doing has a name. Masking is exhausting, but being able to take the mask off is near impossible for a lot of us.Please like and subscribe!

What is the Autism Puzzle Piece? | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2021-02-19 | In this fourth episode of Autistically Me, I talk about the origin of the Autism Puzzle Piece logo, what people think of it, and my opinion on it. Let's all please be respectful of each other's opinion on not only this topic, but on every topic. Just because you have a differing opinion as someone else doesn't make them your enemy. We can all agree to disagree and enjoy the fact that we are all DIFFERENT. It's what makes us unique!My person opinion on this is a strong one, but if you disagree with me, that's okay! And I will of course always respect your opinion. All I ask is that you please do the same for me. If you write rude, mean comments, I will delete them. I encourage discussion, but not bullying and belittling people because their opinion differs from you.Also, please don't talk for the "Autism Community" like you speak for everyone in it. I disagree with a lot of stuff in the community, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be included in it. You don't speak for me, so don't pretend to! Again, let's support each other and our unique views on things!Instagram: @OliviaHopsSmall Business: www.UnbakedBar.comAutism - Autistic - ASD - Aspergers - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Actually Autistic - Autistic Female - Autistic Adult - Autism Awareness - Autism in Females - Autism in Women - Autism in Girls#ActuallyAutistic
Depression in an Autistic Female | AUTISM IN GIRLS Olivia Hops 2020-03-02 | A raw, informal, unscripted video of what a depression spell looks like for me, a 24-year-old (at the time) female on the Autism Spectrum. This video is a downer and very intense. Please watch at your own discretion (TW).In the video, I talk about what depression looks like in me when it hits me hard. I feel guilty for everything and like I don't deserve all the amazing things God has blessed me with. Depression is not something you can just make go away. It is a disease, and you are not alone if you experience depression.If you do experience depression, don't be afraid to go see and talk to someone about it. I have seen a therapist since I was 14 years old, and it has always helped me. Just getting your feelings out of your body can help. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to a help hotline, or even me if you need.Always remember, your life is WORTH it. YOU are worth it!! No matter what your brain tells you, you are amazing and your life matters.Instagram: @OliviaHopsSmall Business: www.UnbakedBar.comAutism - Autistic - ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Autistic Female - Autistic Girl - Autistic Girls - Autistic Females - Late Diagnosis Autism - Autistic Adult - Female Autistic Traits - Females with Autism - Girls with Autism - Autistically Me - Olivia Hops - Depression - Autistic Depression#ActuallyAutistic
