I see now in your earlier post you indicated Amythest is your favorite. I watched a lot of her videos and found her informative and noticeable ND, which I agree is a plus. Princess Aspien is an interesting type if you want to explore the entire spectrum. It's interesting Jen (Rebranding Autism) needs a high level of support but has a YouTube channel.

This guy (who apparently has an alphabet soup of conditions which include ASD among others)not only does a Utube show, but in this one he informs you about the surprisingly large number of other autistics who do U Tube shows (both those who do shows about autism, and those who do shows about other unrelated topics). If you can tolerate his mile-a-second rate of talking in that local UK dialect of his then you will be quite informed! Lol!

I can't tolerate his mile per second fast talking. Good on him for having a channel though.

^^ Nothing against him. Just can't identify with him.

Yes. I find him hard to relate to, and hard to follow. :lol:

The only aspie I look at regularly so far on Utube is An Mish. But I am biased because the Danish former model is rather easy to look at if you are a straight guy.

I will third that endorsement.

This older video of hers while emotional really helped me understand things about myself when I first got diagnosed.

i enjoy listening to Joe Winko who's very down to earth and has quite a lot of variety in his shows. Not all are directly about autism but he discusses it openly. He also shows some places he's visited, such as lake Eola in Florida.

IndieAndy is one of my favorite YouTube Autistics. He doesn’t talk fast and many if his videos very relatable. I’d highly recommend his channel to all those interested in Autism-related YouTube content.

I agree that AnMish is definitely one of the best, it’s such a shame she rarely uploads these days.

For me that raises the question of when is it less about masking well, and more about that just being fairly natural behaviour for you?

Personally I don't do an on the spot running analysis of how people are being in order to adjust my behaviour accordingly . I am as I am. Maybe it's an indicator I'm more disabled . Maybe the schizoaffective dx I have has a bearing on that .

I relate to it. And female aspies probably relate even more.

A friend noticed that at social gatherings I will wait and observe for a while before joining the conversation...to see what kinda topics are "cool to talk about". I agreed that I do that, and have done that since grade school.

Female aspies are more that way according to Tony Attwood. I will find the video if I can..

I did have a period after my diagnosis that I was confused about what part of me was added skills and what part of me was faking myself out. Eventually, I figured out that at this late stage the Autistic part of and the learned skills part of me are so fused together as to be indistinguishable.

From my Autistic YouTube Creator Channel "Aspie With Attitude" I had made a compilation of other YouTube autistics. the only problem is, three out of the eight had stopped YouTubing and I thought this could give you a clue on others that you can look at.



If you think my 50th upload from my YouTube channel was boring, that was from 9th April 2019. Right now I am finding a way to improve my channel adding in some light entertainment. The video down below is my current video upload.
