We recently came across Paul: an Aussie chap who created a Youtube channel called Aspergers from the Inside and boy has he been busy over the last few years!
He discovered that he had Aspergers (Autism) at 30 and tells us that self-diagnosis is common among adults on the Autism Spectrum. While some receive a late Autism diagnosis, those who discover Autism for themselves don't always choose to follow up this self-discovery with an official diagnosis.
Paul shares not only his diagnosis journey (from self diagnosis to 'official' diagnosis), but other key areas of life experience for adults with Aspergers (Autism) and those they share their lives with.
Some of our fav videos include:
- Pros and Cons of Seeking an Adult Diagnosis - Aspergers/Autism/ASD
- My Asbergers Diagnosis Journey (part 1, part 2, part 3)
- Asbergers and Bullying in the workplace
- Jobs for Aspies (good jobs for people with Aspergers)
- Aspergers and Employment: Getting a Job
- Aspergers and Emplyment: Keeping a Job
- How to Date an Aspie
- Help! I Love An Aspie! (how to love someone with aspergers)
Paul's collection of videos include:
- Autism tips, coping strategies, and advice on common issues
- Learning Emotional Intelligence (this is his special interest!)
- Autism in real life: stories from special guests
I think it's safe to say that there isn't a topic that Paul hasn't covered when it comes to adults with Aspergers (Autism) and their experiences.
