Original Video: My experience with Autism
What is up fellow Youtubers? And of course to the actors who are watching this video. Greetings. Good afternoon. What's Krakalakin? Now my little half-sister is directing a play about… Now, my little half-sister is directing a play about a boy who has autism, so she sent me a message on Facebook. She's like, can you make a video about some of the experiences you've had dealing with autism? And I said, yeah, I can do that. There actually would be a good video for YouTube as well. So I figured why not make a YouTube video out of it. The first biggest cliche when it comes to having autism is society treats mental disorders very much the same, you know, like your freak show side exhibits, like your delegates, or that you're sensitive. And usually when someone says, oh that person has a disorder, that person has a disorder, which one are they? Are they koo-koo for cocoa puffs? Which one are they? And with autism, this is certainly no different. As soon as people hear the word autism, the first thing that pops into their head is the low functioning side of autism. You know, a lot of people are undiagnosed until later on in life, much older autistic anyways. But, so that's one of the first experiences. The second thing I've noticed is like I said, the social stigma of having a mental disorder, you know, you hear people talk about you in the stores, oh that dude's special. Right. Which is just the PC way of saying that dude's retarded. Other experiences are faced with having autism is much like anybody else in society. I get bullied. And well, I suppose I can very briefly explain to you the difference between a high functioning artistic and a low functioning artistic. People with high functioning autism will either do really well in society or just barely survive. People with high functioning autism may appear to be normal to other people, you know, and you very rarely see people with aspergers or high functioning autism in group homes or assisted living unless it's really bad. But people with low functioning, people with low functioning autism, the best they can do is though barely succeed in society. But nine times out of ten, people with low functioning autism, they end up living in group homes with other special needs patients, you know, or living with their parents, until their parents pass away. And then they end up going into a special needs nursing home or what have you you know yeah. Now people with autism are known for having a temper and getting aggressive and that sort of thing. The big difference between people with high functioning autism and people with low functioning autism, people with high functioning autism can be coached and taught to control their temper and their anger and their outbursts and what have you. People with high functioning autism can be trained and coached and what have you. People with high functioning autism can be trainedbursts and what have you. People with high functioning autism can be trained and coached into working with their disorder, learning to control the outbursts, the anger issues, and whatever else. Most people with low functioning autism can't control it. The random outbursts, the the, you know, yeah. And if you take a look at people of autism, you'll notice that they're different. Each and everyone is a different person, which is another experience I faced when when dealing with having autism is people think oh you have autism so you're just like the other autistic down the street well the other autistic down the streets can only work like four hours every day and lives in a group home and takes assisted transport everywhere and can barely function. That's kind of an insult to me dude. That's not an insult to him, you know, I'm proud of people like that dude. It's inspirational when you see a fellow autistic who's saying, you know what, no. I'm not going to let society push me down or call me fucking names, call me a retard, you know, if I can barely function and I want to work with it, you know, and I want to make it happen, and make something of myself, so I can feel good about myself, you know. You know, screw the assiles calling you I retired. You want my opinion? Fuck the haters dude. Straight up. Stop letting the word retire to fend you and I guarantee you the bullies will no longer be able to use it as an insult. And believe me, trust and believe, growing up in elementary school in high school, I got called a retard. You know. I believe growing up in elementary school in high school, I got called a retard all the time. You know, and you know when I was in high school, I was friends with a kid who had special needs, you know. And uh, last I knew of he's got his own, and he's got a job, that's fucking awesome. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah. And that's the biggest thing about having autism is people who have autism will fix it on things. They'll be obsessed with it. Which has made crushing on girls difficult going up. I'm not going to Hawaii. You know I would get fixated on a girl and the girl in question I'd be like, aha, that's just great. Saunders has a crush on me. Ew, I feel so disgusting right now. Oh, they just laugh and I'll have to be like, no. No, no, no. So I make getting told no difficult. Yeah. I don't hold it against anybody. People are allowed to have standards. I just think it's fucking hilarious. The chicks who told me no in high school are looking now and going… Fuck! Saundries is a famous You-Tuber? Huh. L-O-L.Jokes on you I got a cold following. At first, YouTube, I didn't understand why is the Autism Speaks logo a puzzle piece? You know, at first I didn't get it, but now I kind of get it, you know. Each autistic is different. Like a different piece of the puzzle, and when it's put together, you see this beautiful spectrum known as the autistic spectrum. So now I kind of understand why they went with that. Very very deep metaphor, that's what's up. series or I can make it separate. You know, one of those self-aware videos that people post on social media. Life with blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And this will be the first time you'll see videos like this. You know there are plenty of other people who say and make videos, you know, life being a male or life being a female, you know, and sometimes it's good to get different perspectives on things. And when I tell you these things, I don't want your sympathy. I don't, you know. I'm not using this as an excuse, I'm saying, like, I don't want your sympathy. I don't want your sympathy. I don't want to hear, oh you poor thing, oh you're so brave, like… You know what I'm saying? Like, okay, so I make videos on YouTube despite being harassed on almost daily basis. People spending in the last five to ten years, physically and mentally trying to fuck with me, and not letting it get to me soldiering on and continuing to make videos and continuing to be myself continuing to be myself And never stop being myself or being real Never stop being myself. I've never stopped being real with people and that's the thing of it YouTube It triggers these people. That's why they can't stop bullying me It triggers these people, that's why they can't stop bullying me. They're either super jealous of me, or they're really my biggest fans. One of the two. Guarantee it. You break down a gothic king co-retrol in a nutshell. They're either one of two people. Either they're super jealous of me and they can't just get over it and find a way to make their life somewhat successful. You know, they gotta pick on me instead, because they're jealous. And they're miserable assholes. Or they just can't admit that they're a fan of my videos and instead of admitting it that they like me, they internalize it and lie to themselves. Even though everything they do, you know, sit there and talk shit. Oh, I hate this guy blah blah blah blah blah, but then, you know, you go on to the toxic cancer of the internet that is the Gothic King Cobra Sub-ready, and it's just page after page of assil after assil talking shit. These people have wasted the last 10 to 5 to 10 years, sitting in front of their keyboard, you know. And yeah, I do do YouTube videos, but I have a life outside of YouTube. I hang out with friends. I hang out with my family. I own a successful wand business. Here's one of the ones in my collection. Right here, this one right here, yeah. And a lot of the times, people with autism, you can't talk to them, they're not very social, you can't touch them, give them a high five, because they freak out, like, you know what I'm saying? But you tend to see that more on the down side of autism, you know, on this lower side, on the low functioning spectrum would be the more scientifically and politically correct way to pronounce that. But like I said, you tend to see those behaviors more so on the lower side of the functioning spectrum. You know, and that's the thing of it, some people with Aspergers can handle being touched or, you know, human interaction, you know, and that's another stereotype that a lot of people have about people with Aspergers or autism in general. Oh, you can't touch them, hug them, give them high thimes, you can't talk with them, they're just shells of people, man. Right. Or that they can't be they can't be successful because of the disorder bullshit. One of the biggest stereotypes going back to the is he is he or she either door or kukoo for cocoa pofts which one is it? Are they dirt or hoo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-kopuffs? Which one is it? Are they dirt-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo helmet? Or are they cuckoo-for-cocapuffs? Which one is it? And that's the negative stereotype that having a disorder is associated with. So they don't give you a chance to excel at your best or do the best you can. So you spend the rest of your life thinking you're stupid and that you can't achieve nothing. And so therefore you don't try to exceed your limits. And this is the biggest thing with having autism. People who have autism need to find something that they excel in and then just do that thing try to find a way to make a living doing it and they'll do just fine you know a place for every puzzle piece a place for every Lego brick you know I'm saying you look at the mechanics of a automobile or a car or a truck. Every part functions differently and with autism it's no different. You know what I'm saying? The engines are not going to be the same as the car tires. They do two completely different things. Your brakes aren't going to be the same as your gas. They may be located right next to each other on the floor of your control panel, dash, whatever you want to call it, car, yeah, but they do two completely different things and with autism it's no different. When you sit there and say, oh, those two people have autism, they're the exact same. That's like saying that you're breaking gas pedal, do the same thing in your car when they don't. And imagine, if you will, someone makes a video and says how they're sick and tired of people calling them a retard. But in that same video, they'll go up to a fellow autistic and make assumptions that aren't true. You know, it's extremely hypocritical. You know what I'm saying? That's off topic, but… The fact that I made some shitty little video. I'm done making video responses because you can't handle how real I am. It's pretty fucking sad, yo. And that's why he's quitting. His last video response, I've seen that shit and I laugh so fucking hard. I'm like, break out the champagne victory toast, another troll slayed. But that's off topic. I'm not going to get into that. What's it like to have autism? It sucks. It could be better, but it also could be worse. I've seen a video of this YouTubeer who recently lost her hand. And she doesn't let her handicap get in the way of her enjoying life. You know. and she doesn't let her handicap get in the way of her enjoying life you know and to me that's inspirational you know what I'm saying Now, You know, they're not the same people, you know. And one of the biggest problems society has, like I said, is associating that they're all the same, you know. And the biggest thing and the biggest experience I've had with my autism is learning to laugh at it. Let's take a social disorder that makes you awkward around other humans and call it aspergers. Just the name of itself is funny, you know. Aspergers, huh? Yeah, really come from the ass end of a cow and now you got cheeseburgers with bacon, you know? And if I learn to laugh at my ass burgers and not let the word return offend me, then I'm not letting the trolls get to me plain and simple. You know, that's just, the reason why people pick on me is because deep down inside, they're just as miserable as the rest of us. They hate life and how crappy it gets sometimes. So for them, they think all above that person because I don't have any mental disorders. And so they're jealous because that person is more successful than them despite the fact that he or she may have a disorder. And when they see that that person who has a disorder is more successful than them, it makes them jealous. And they either become admirers of it and support that person and learn from that person. Or they become jealous trolls or like the biggest fans on the planet. You know what I'm saying? It's usually how it works. Which is another topic in itself man. Stop comparing yourself to other people. That's going to make you a miserable son of a bitch. You know. I've known I know several people in my life that I've met, that have mental disorders and they hold down jobs and they have their own place, which is awesome, you know. If people with mental disorders, not just pertaining to autism, but if people with mental disorders are not encouraged to challenge their mind and to push themselves to the limits and be the best that they can be, they'll never realize their full potential. You know. It's a quote from Albert Einstein, I believe, who also had autism. And if you teach a fish that it can't swim, it'll spend the rest of its life thinking it's stupid, or something like that. But, but, yeah. And of course, people asked Albert Einstein, why are you doing drugs? Albert Einstein said, and I quote, I'm not doing drugs. I'm putting plants in my pipe and setting fire to them. Yeah. I'm not doing drugs. I'm putting them in my pipe and burning them. I'll. But yeah, those are some of the experiences I've had to deal with facing autism, getting bullied in school growing up, being socially rejected by women more just because of my social disorder. Most women won't even give me a chance just because I have aspergers. And that's tough, but that's fair. One of the biggest assumptions I've had with having Aspergers is, well, you should date a chick who has autism. You too, be great together. You know, that whole assumption. And you can't say that for sure. You know, you really don't know for sure. But… Anyways, this is King Cobra JFS back at you with another video. Just sharing with you some experiences I've had dealing with autism. Thank you for watching and I'll catch you later.
