From the mind of an autist

I am an autistic individual. I was unaware of my autism, for the majority of my life.


I accepted my autism at the age of 24 years, when I self-diagnosed.

I managed to find the comfort of knowing that I am autistic and understanding my life better, because I read someone’s personal account and I figured -

“Maybe I can help others by sharing my experience".

So, that is the reason I started my YouTube videos on Autism.

The positive response I get from people is the reason I am still making them.

Have you ever felt like you want to do all "these things"? I always want to try new things and last year was not a great one for me in that regard. With the start of the new year, I have decided to change that. This video explains why I needed to change things and the changes I put in place to make this year more fruitful.

The question I get asked most commonly by parents of autistic children is "Should I tell my child that they are autistic?". This video is my view on what can be positive and what can be negative about it.

Educating about Autism

As an autistic person I have experienced first-hand what it is like to be misunderstood, have people assume bad intentions behind your actions.

But I also know that others can’t be expected to understand me, if I don;t explain it.

My goal is 2-fold

  1. Help autistic individuals accept that they are autistic and not alone

  2. Help non-autistic individuals understand what autism means
