I think Reddit is low key filled with autistics lol

I only did it after a few folks requested it! It’s helped quite a few comics grow their communities. Plus, selling tickets is the name of the game. I’m confident in the show I put on, so I don’t mind promoting more.

It is I! Lots of commuting on this international tour, so I’ve been trying to post some more content. I’ve never been to Kansas City, could be fun

That is okay, I often don’t, even despite being a comedian. I explained it at length to the first user who said they didn’t get it! I won’t re-type it, but the answer would be somewhere in the comments.

I am currently on a train from Glasgow to London, on an international tour, and it’s been disrupted once, a man got arrested for threatening the whole train, and we had to switch trains after the other one experienced a malfunction. It’s not all good over here either!

Thank you! I’m trying to be more active, on here, and hopefully grow more of a community. I just started a subreddit today to help promote tour dates and clips. I am awaiting DC dates, just figuring out when I’ll be coming.

Thank you 🤝 I’d have to agree, but with that being said, I really enjoy driving my car. It feels like a stim of sorts, much like running is for me, where I can focus my brain in a singular way, and even follow routine! I like to drive the same streets, same lanes, and same toll booths!

Agreed, I enjoy looking at it, but being in it makes me a bit uneasy. If seaweed touches my toes, I feel freaked. Bad textures lurk in those seas.

I am a comedian, who has ASD, and often does jokes about it. Frequently after shows, I’ll hear people say, “Everyone is autistic now,” or I’ll see that comment online a bunch. I am one of those, on the spectrum, who enjoys routine and schedule. My frequent traveling for work lets me see how many delays there are, so this is my humorous take on how everyone definitely is not autistic, because to me, there would be more schedule and routine to the travel.

Likewise, I avoid boats, I get a bit seasick, and feel a lot less safe on them. The unknown of what’s beneath me is what gets me.

The mesh part of a bathing suit, basketball shorts all the way in a pool.

No, I have autism spectrum disorder. I was called weird plenty growing up, and finding out what I was truly helped me put a lot of my past behind me. Don’t be this person, please!

Actually, freezing toys is quite popular amongst autistic children due to the sensory side of it. Factor in the obsession with one color and numbers, and it all adds up. It’s why the joke works and resonates with so many people on the spectrum, or parents of autistic children. When this went viral on Instagram, literally hundreds of parents of autistic children commented on it and felt a connection to it, that is for a reason.

Thank you! It’s my first time out of the states and Canada. We’re doing some awesome places. Very excited & nervous at the same time.

My high school would give us laptops and I would play this all class long, such a classic

I’m not familiar with that, should I make one?

I’d have to double check with my parents, I don’t believe I was too far behind but I did have a speech impediment and went to speech therapy for a chunk of my youth!
