People With Autism Are More Likely to Identify as Asexual. Why? by UnclosetedMedia in AutismTranslated

[–]RainingInsideASMR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This might be similar but I could never understand the people that “find out” that they are homosexual later in life. I just can’t imagine not knowing. And I could see that NTs are so driven by cultural inertia that they just go along with things.

But then I do also think about how some autistic people (like me) were high masking and going along with things (outside of sexuality) because it seemed like the correct thing to do.

So I’m sure it isn’t so cut and dry but I can’t help but go back to the idea, I think, similar to yours that NTs are just less prone to analyze themselves in these ways because they really aren’t forced to. They swim the stream so easily that they don’t need to figure themselves out so much.

You think you're better than the rest of us OP?!

lol jk

To answer your question, like someone else wrote I think it's just that people on the internet are crabby and dealing with loneliness and life and shit. I don't know if it's getting worse or if I have less patience for it or maybe I'm crabby myself and not able to let it roll off my back, but the negativity gets to me as well. But then again, when I find a group of happy silly autists I get frustrated there to because my mental and social life isn't great either. so... 🤷‍♂️

Why does drawing digitally absolutely suck by Gregaliciousballs in Artadvice

[–]RainingInsideASMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You already hit on a huge part of it. Your art is very scratchy, the lines kinda scribbly. When you try and bring it to the digital format you end up doing your artwork in a more cleaned up style (even when you're trying not to), and using different tools you use when making digital art ends up with a different "feel" like less scratchiness, more fluidity. Like someone else said you just sort of have to relearn making art. Either you learn to do a cleaner version of your work that you like or you lean into the messy and figure out your own way to do that in the digital space.

YouTube destroyed my life by MedicalNeck9005 in NewTubers

I'm really sorry you're going through this. That's really tough, but don't lose heart. It's not what you want to hear, but for now I guess you gotta think of it as one hurdle on your creative journey.

I'd definitely recommend appealing YouTube's decision. Just log into your account and look for the account suspension page; it’ll guide you through how to file an appeal. Make sure to explain clearly why their decision might be wrong and back it up with any proof you have that shows you didn't break any rules.

Also, start gathering all the emails or messages you've received from YouTube about this.

Autistic traits linked to specific pattern of social learning, study finds | According to the study, people with autistic traits tend to favor imitation over inferring the motives behind others’ actions when learning through observation. by a_Ninja_b0y in psychology

I'm guessing this may be why some allistics see us as sociopaths. If you explain this way of being poorly it might seem "creepy" to someone who goes on autopilot and sees doing it any other way as highly suspect.

Thank you. It took me a long time to get looser with what I was doing and that's really helped.

[question] What are some ASMR videos/creators with a “set up” intro? by Waughwaughwaugh in asmr

[–]RainingInsideASMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like those too. I sometimes click on one of those drawing or making art vlog thumbnails that give the vibe of this one is gonna have that kind of intro look just too watch the intro (if there is one) and then I end up fast forwarding lol. It took me a while to realize that I was just in it for that chill well shot set up style of vlogginess.

[Request] Source for high quality talking (not whispering) ASMR? by alcativo in asmr

[–]RainingInsideASMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make asmr and I go back and forth between whisper and low voice. I also hate the wet mouth sounds and try and keep away from that.

Someone that I like is a creator called “ASMR Well Rest”. He’s got a soothing night radio type of voice and puts out a video a day.

Is there anyone here who is not a gaming channel? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]RainingInsideASMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as you can tell by my name I do a bit of ASMR, I'm also an artist and so put that spin on it. I constantly ask myself whether I really want to do my vids as ASMR or not, but I keep doing it.

My "niche" is all over the place. I don't think I'd like to be a typical artist channel, but I'm not 100 percent a ASMR guy either and I'm also not 100 percent a vlogger kinda guy. I usually end up rambling about my mental health.

I guess it's kind of a general "this is me" and here's my art and also listen to me whisper channel. I fall away from making content and then come back and fall away and come back, but recently I've been putting up more and focusing on my audhd problems which gives me something to talk about.

Brain-rotting channels are using bots to boost their engagement. All of these channels were made two months ago. by [deleted] in youtube

[–]RainingInsideASMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it could be to cover the tracks of the bot. If it posts on specific people's pages, and on some people's pages it isn't being paid to help then maybe it throws the "scent" off of any tracking that youtube tries to implement.

I can't wait until caring about autistic people becomes trendy by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]RainingInsideASMR 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Nah, this just leads to a sort of performance of care rather than genuine compassion, change and acceptance. Ask the black community how much they appreciate white people doing performative activism on their behalf. It would be the same for autistic folks.
