It's rarely JUST Autism...

There's just many things that Autistic People can have going on in addition to being Autistic. I am Autistic and I also have ADHD. There are some mental health issues I have, some diagnosed, some not. I am also hyperlexic, in addition to being Autistic. 

I have diagnosed anxiety disorder, in addition to being Autistic. I have a diagnosis of IBS. I have migraines and seizures in addition to being Autistic. I have insomnia in addition to being Autistic and easily injured joints due to hyper-mobility disorder. 

I am not just Autistic. I am Autistic and I have more going on in my life, which, I mean, it's the case with NeuroTypical People.

 Patreon members and YouTube channel members had access to this video on November 1, 2021. The video’s public release will be December 15, 2021. 

It's important that we all understand, that as Autistic People, there is not a unified autistic experience. We all have different opinions and very different experience, and I think it's great to share those things. 

If you're a NeuroTypical watching, remember that this is just my experience as a NeuroDivergent Person. 

Hopefully, this video will inspire other NeuroDivergent People to share their experiences as well, how they relate, and maybe even do not relate in the comments below. 

I encourage you to listen to, and read, as many Autistic experiences as possible to best understand Autistic People.

I would LOVE to see more Autism vlogs by #ActuallyAutistic People.
