Autism is an individual difference for each person who is Autistic. But what happens when you are Autistic and not welcome by Autism communities because you won’t follow their agendas or ideologies? You start your own. All I want to do, is share my perspective of my version of Autism, openly, honestly, and in many cases...vulnerably. I don’t just share the fun, happy, shiny and friendly. I share real life, and the difficulties of being diagnosed later in life.

Adult with Autism | Autism Tax | 88

Jun 01 2024 29 mins

Autism Tax is something that costs an Autistic person more in time, energy, effort and finances than those persons without Autism. It is something that is not considered as part of the PIP process in England, but the reality is that we have a higher cost of living for our accommodations. This video is me sharing some of mine. || SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL || Patreon: https://www.patre

Adult with Autism | My Current Workplace 'Reasonable Adjustments' | 87

Apr 13 2024 29 mins

This (audio) video has been made due to the number of emails received talking of bad employers who don’t or won’t consider Reasonable Adjustments in the workplace. This (audio) video contains all of my live and current Reasonable Adjustments that I have with my employer. This is from the perspective of Autism, but will also apply to all recognised disabilities under the Equalit

Adult with Autism | What are Workplace 'Reasonable Adjustments' | 86

Mar 24 2024 29 mins

This has been made due to the number of emails received talking of bad employers who don't or won't consider Reasonable Adjustments in the workplace. This is a rough guide of what you need to consider and the action to take to begin this process. You are not wrong for needing them, and it is the bad employers that put a lot of Autistic people off from working. This is from the per

Adult with Autism | Denying Late Diagnosis | 85

Feb 02 2024 29 mins

I haven't been around for 6 months, so please forgive me if I am rusty at this. I want nothing more than to be back sooner than later, but...health anxieties have the better of me, unfortunately. The audio extract from the video is from a request in which someone discussed how telling others about your late diagnosis of Autism...that the way they respond matters. This took a while

Adult with Autism | What Is Autism Burn Out | 84

Aug 05 2023 29 mins

I am in Autism Burn Out personally, yet also on the edge of hitting it professionally. It is a strange feeling to be going towards Burn Out from two different directions. I have done a video over on Patreon, a free video to explain my personal Burn Out, and this is talking about my Burn Out due to work. But the bottom line here is, I need to take better care of myself. Personal B

Adult with Autism | Self-Preservation is not Selfish | 83

Jul 21 2023 29 mins

For many years, I struggled with putting myself or my needs first. Whenever I wanted to, I couldn't get past thinking I was being selfish. As the years went by and I slowly started taking better care of me and my needs, everyone around me disappeared as they were not getting the things they once were from me. Trying to see that you are important too, and need to pay attention to yo

Adult with Autism | What is an Autistic Meltdown? | 82

Jul 06 2023 28 mins

At the time of recording, there is a news story where a man called Louis de Zoysa killed a Policeman, whilst in custody. All news outlets are reporting about this incident that took place in 2020, and all news outlets are stating that the defence for Louis de Zoysa was that he was in the middle of an 'Autistic Meltdown' during the incident. For those who may be curious as to what a

Adult with Autism | Applying for the Disability Blue Badge | 81

Jun 15 2023 29 mins

The Blue Disability Badge is something I always remember from when I was younger being associated with persons with mobility impairments, but the badge also covers hidden disabilities such as Autism. However, the local councils website was not overly straightforward when it came to explaining this, or more so for me to explain why I feel I need a to apply for one of these badges no

Adult with Autism | Autism & Working from Home | 80

May 03 2023 29 mins

Being Autistic and working from home for me is a perfect combination. But if you listen to some prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Alan Sugar, home workers are lazy and should be terminated from employment. This is one of the most short sighted views I have heard in a long time, especially when if anyone took the time to talk to Autistic Employees, they would see that most of

Adult with Autism | Autism & Health Anxieties | 79

Apr 14 2023 29 mins

No outline for this audio, I just simply wanted to think out loud about my health anxieties and see if my Autism plays their part in them somewhere. I always knew I was fearful of being ill, but after really paying attention to it, I have probably only had around 6 months of not worrying about my health in the last 8 years, which is terrible to think about. So, something needs to c
