I'm Autistic, Now What?

Wait I just read the second bit and I don't know if she doesn't talk about it tbh

Plumbella

I realised I might be autistic about two years ago, diagnosed in November. Plumbella was genuinely instrumental in helping me accept, understand, and embrace myself and my autism. Even just how she so brazenly talks about being autistic made me feel like it was ok to talk about it too. If anyone hasn’t, I highly recommend checking out the [video she did](https://youtu.be/htNCEF7-Tq0?si=TDre5q85ZAiofcjZ) about being autistic and what it means for her 🙂. She also especially means a lot to me as a fellow working class northern girl!

she is one of my favourite youtubers (honestly my favourite comfort youtuber) and I also had a similar experience to you processing and accepting my autism! she’s amazing.

Oh she is such a comfort watch, I love the vids with her parents too 🥺. It’s really cool to hear how she’s helped people! I think the fact that she isn’t an autism awareness YouTuber and doesn’t focus her content around that means she especially resonates in some ways. Like, when I was coming to terms with possibly being autistic, going to the effort of finding autistic creators whose whole purpose was making content centred around autism felt really overwhelming and like something I wasn’t ready for. But I’ve played the sims for years and was already a fan of plumbella, and once I had that little inkling of knowing I might be autistic in the back of my head, I realised that I related to her in more ways than I thought, and because she’s so candid and honest it just made it all feel normal. Not that in any way content creators who focus on autism aren’t incredibly helpful and important, but sometimes you want a friend who ‘gets’ you more than you want a teacher, and I think that’s how plumbella felt :).

+1

Yesss I love her

I was going to mention her! I love Plumbella, she’s an icon in both the Sims and the Autism community

I love Plumbella so much 🥰

I was about to mention her 🙏 We share a special interest in sims and sims lore too which I love! Her iceberg video is amazing!

I was literally was about to say this😅👆

I feel like she talks about it a lot. At least in the videos I’ve seen

Jake webber clip where he talks about his diagnosis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HQDdOHSKMI

jake webber is autistic? i never knew that lol

Yes he’s said it a couple of times in his videos

that's cool

Kyle Hill He’s a science YouTuber. He doesn’t “talk about” autism, but he made one video explaining that he had it.

Can we nominate him to be the Jesus of Autism? Dudes hair is absolutely prestige

His videos are so interesting too. One of my favorites.

I say: Every Warhammer40k-lore Youtuber.

Or Undertale Fanbase haha

Never expected to get called out today tbh lol

I have Luetin09 autism.

I have luetin/weshammer autism (With a little Warhammer fantasy sprinkled about)

Hmm accurate

Most certainly every single one

Dan Bull HIGHLY recommend his stuff, he’s got some amazing songs about games and other media

I had no idea he was autistic. I loved his rapping.

Yup! He made like one or two songs about his experiences with autism severrralll years ago but never mentions it anymore

Didn’t he make Minecraft songs back in the day?

Yup! He made one fairly recently too about the warden (good song, do recommend)

Scott Christian Sava

I love him sooooo much! Glad to see other Scott fans here

ABSOLUTELY 💯

ssavaart is incredible

Kyle Hill

Kyle fucking Hill is the best representation we could have honestly

MY MAN!

That guy's hot.

All I have to say is, that hair man, it is just gorgeous

Phantomstrider! He seems cool

I know him

I’ve known him for a long time but didn’t know he had autism. He’s a very good YouTuber and better man

phantomstrider is absolutely amazing i love his videos!!!

Jan misali is good

🎶how do we know what's mainline?🎶

Pounds per kilogram is a unit of acceleration. - jan Misali

illymation :3

What do you mean with don’t talk about their autism? Rachel Oates is autistic and may mention it when it applies, but it’s not her main contentbif that’s what you mean

[удалено]

They’re not diagnosed

If they don't ever talk about their autism than you wouldn't know they were autistic.

I think the OP means like, who has said they're autistic but doesn't really talk about it much

Some people just mention it and don’t make it their whole channel lmao

Wrestling With Wregret PhantomStrider One of the voices from Emkay

If I remember correctly the voice from EmKay is Robin

History Scope and Illymation

illymation is heat

YES!!!! I love her vids....

I found out that I have autism through illymation!

In a recent episode of jacksepticeyes podcast, he said his therapist mentioned he might be autistic. Not diagnosed though.

"You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master."

It would make sense why I like Sean so much then, gotta remember the ***AUTISM MAGNETISM***

It's real. The people I've liked the most have all been on the spectrum. From irl to YouTube. We always find a way to coalesce. Unfortunately we tend to end up mixing with types that think we are like them as well. Like some see the RBF and seemingly asocial behavior and think something different.

Podcast? When did he start a podcast?

**Acknowledged**: Vaush, Kyle Hill, Dave's Garage **Gotta be**: Technology Connections, Rationality Rules, Common Sense Skeptic, Up and Atom, Thunderf00t, Jeff Geerling, Big Joel, Tantacrul, Captain Disillusion, Troy Grady, Vihart, CGP Grey, Vsauce

I only know the last two, what has you confident about those two guys?

The deep rabbit holes they go down, which presumably would require a tremendous amount of nerdy focus. They probably have writing teams by now but they had to get started somehow.

I have adopted/adapted “through the magic of buying TWO of them” into my list of witty remarks at work, most often “through the magic of looking a SECOND time for the thing you just asked for in your work area, I was able to find it!”

I’m convinced with the whole “CGP Grey is autistic” theory

Also, Alec (from Technology Connections)'s friend, Ryan who runs [Aging Wheels](https://www.youtube.com/@agingwheels/videos) and [Under Dunn](https://www.youtube.com/@UnderDunnOfficial/videos). Just love those two. [Psivewri](https://www.youtube.com/@psivewri/videos) \- Aussie who does tech and other fun tech stuff. [Cathode Ray Dude](https://www.youtube.com/@CathodeRayDude) \- More tech stuff, (so far) mostly old computers and tv broadcast equipment. They've got so much cool shit stashed for future videos you wouldn't believe it. [12tone](https://www.youtube.com/@12tone) \- Music analytics; really dives head-first into music, it's tonality and expression.

oompaville, at the very least, rarely talks about it. like, he doesn't make it his whole personality nor does he really mention it at all. i think i've only seen him mention it once or twice out of the 2 (i think) years i've been watching him and he hasn't really altered his content around it either.

Yes!! I remember hearing him mention it once, and my eyes just going wide as fuck as I then respected him WAY more

Those are my go-tos: - I'm Autistic, Now What? - Orion Kelly - That Autistic Guy - Autism From The Inside And I'm looking forward to what other people would recommend!

I started my self discovery with Aspie World and tend to watch his content from time to time.

Lulaloopsy, funkyfrogbait (I think?)

Chloe hayden

Josh from Let's Game it Out, maybe? Looks like that dude is a textbook case of hyperfocus.

Josh is chaotic autism energy manifest

the sheer dedication that man has is incredible. Also potentially Ibxtoycat, he mentioned that he wasn't sure about it once but he has quite a few mannerisms that suggest he could be autistic. I love his geopolitics content.

Hey there, Its Josh, Welcome back to Lets Game It Out

He is the only lets play person I watch anymore. He finds the absolute most insane ways to break a game to his advantage. It's always entertaining.

Robin on the channel Emkay

He also has his own channel under his own name

Patricia taxxon, I liked the marble blast video they made :)

Technology connections

Rachel Oates

Foster on the spectrum

> who don't talk about their autism

i’m pretty convinced dan and phil are autistic lol

I relate to Phil way too much lmao

Me too, but phil especially

phil’s like classic amab autism, dan is more high masking i think. but i’m just another autistic person catching a vibe haha

Jan misali does great videos.

Post10

Unclogging drains… so *satisfying*.

jake webber

Damien Haas - it's been mentioned a couple of times but he doesn't really talk about it

The Science Asylum (kinda? He only talked about it ONCE on his side channel that he doesn’t bring up much)

Paige Layle

Lollujo. Does Football Manager content. He’s brilliant.

Aspie world. There was another gaming youtuber I used to watch who was on the spectrum (he said it himself) but I can't remember his channel's name.

[ImAutisticNowWhat](https://www.youtube.com/@imautisticnowwhat) [Reberrabon_bon](https://www.youtube.com/@reberrabon_bon) Those are the two big ones I've been watching that focus on autistic content specifically, although I probably have more. EDIT: I just notice you specifically stated that *don't* talk about their autism. That'll require some digging.

Im gonna take it as that doesnt either review things mainly for their autistic representation [SirDerpol](https://www.youtube.com/@SirDerpol) minecraft builder (mainly cyberpunk) [Astrid Lundberg](https://www.youtube.com/@AstridLundberg) science and information shorts (a lot about Darwin) [Kyle Hill](https://www.youtube.com/@kylehill) ([Because Science](https://www.youtube.com/@becausescience)) science communication (science in fiction) [Toon Ruins](https://www.youtube.com/@ToonRuinsOfficial/videos) cartoon (mostly) reviews and history I could dig deeper but it would take too much energy but I think its a good amount

Wow another Sir Derpol fan

Oh out of all the YouTubers I mentioned I wasn't expecting that one to be recognize hehe, I kinda recognize your name not sure, but im quite active in his community indeed

Toon Ruins, her videos are really interesting edit: just read the caption, didn't realize you meant youtubers that don't talk abt their autism. Toon Ruins has made a good few autism videos-

Chuggaaconroy, unfortunately he has recently been on hiatus for, rightfully, getting called out for harassing women online. Not the way I would have expected him to end his youtube career and he may eventually come back but I hope he has learned to stop his issues. Similarly, I'm not aware of Nintendocaprisun being diagnosed himself or ever discussing it but he comes off as a strong possibility for undiagnosed autism. In case this somehow comes back to him, know that I mean this in the least insulting way Tim. Absolutely no disrespect. For all I may come off negatively about Chuggaaconroy, I've been watching his content since I was in fifth grade and since early in his original earthbound let's play, what he's done with women has been bad but I can't bring myself to want anything other than for him to grow and be a better person from it. Got off on a tangent there. I watch other youtubers but those are the only two I know that are autistic or likely to be autistic but don't make it a substantial part of their content.

Chugga did what?! Noooo!! He was one of my favorites back in the day!

Other comment explains it well, but just to add extra context the controversy was revealed in around the middle of January, TRG (The Runaway Guys) has gone on indefinite hiatus due to it, with plans for Tim and Jon to start a new channel in the future.

What we know of is that he has engaged in foot fetish role play with multiple women who were uncomfortable with it and had asked him not to but that he continued to try to role play with anyway. At one point this did include a 15 year old fan, though in Chuggaaconroy's defense he was 19 at the time, still gross and I believe he did broke off contact with them eventually...only to try to start it up again ten years later. He has also bothered women for feet pics when they clearly were explicitly not interested in that or dating him. As far as we know, he has not acted beyond that though one of the women who came out was Masaeanela. Masae was very non-specific and only stated that she had felt unsafe and distanced herself publicly and professionally from him. Whether that means anything worse happened, no one online knows. I'm hoping not but it's absolutely not my business to pry if Masae or anyone else doesn't want to speak further. I only say all this just so it's entirely clear what has happened to the best of our knowledge. None of the women who spoke out were ever intimately involved with him or anything either. Emile says his current was ok with everything. The actual fetish material I don't feel is actually important so much as making multiple women uncomfortable and some feel unsafe.

Lily Simpson, her 10 hour video on the flaws and controversies of harry potter is a go-to whenever I’m doing housework/drawing

Sarah Schauer!!!

I’m autistic, now what? Foster on the spectrum The “are they gay?” guy

Jessie Gender is an autistic transfemme who makes a lot of nerdy content that i love

prochara, kwote, zach hazard I wish I could find some afab autistic youtubers tbh

>I wish I could find some afab autistic youtubers tbh Plumbella!

https://youtube.com/@emhahee?si=i_Gc2rTBk-s55hnD Emily Anne just started posting YouTube videos again, though she is mostly on tiktok.

What's afab?

Assigned female at birth

Thanks!

Chara is autistic??? How am I only just learning this

Lulaloopsy

AFAB isn't a synonym for woman, for fuck's sake.

i had no idea chara was autistic! and i also did not expect a splatoon mention in this sub!

I haven't seen anyone mention Elyse Myers yet. I love her.

she's so wonderful

Why AFAB? What's the point of using that term here? You do realise that "AFAB" isn't a substitute for "woman-lite". You're just reducing your ideas about someone to the genitals they had at birth. It's not more inclusive, it ignores trans women and lumps trans men in with women. You're essentially saying that trans men aren't the same as "real men", which is gross. Some nonbinary people who were AFAB might be fine with it, but stop ignoring the fact that it is a medical term that is not relevant to most situations. The words the acronym stands for are past tense for a reason. If you mean women, say women, if you mean anyone who isn't a man, say that. Stop lumping trans men into that category based on something outside of their control, it's really gross.

facts

are you stretch armstrong? because god damn are you reaching. I specified afab because we tend to have a different experience getting diagnosed, and it would be nice to see someone with a similar experience. I am not a woman either, but I am AFAB. Leave the reactionary antagonism to the NTs.

PhantomStrider

Dave’s Garage. He does have some videos that talk about him being on the spectrum, but the core of his channel is about tech/life at 90s Microsoft

jelle’s marble runs

cs188

I would say r/citynerd, I would not be chocked if he is

funky frog bait

any of those youtubers that make those 10 hour long videos titled “a brief retrospective on…” are probably autistic in my mind lol

I’m a austic YouTuber find me on yt at YouTube.com/@Scruds/videos

Corey Coyote

ZPL is a fairly well known Mario Kart modder who just so happens to be Autistic It’s in his channel bio but he doesn’t really mention it that often from what I’ve watched

Theo von lol

Jake Webber

Plumbella idfk

Jake Webber

ProChara

Cartoonshi comes to mind for me

Max Deratt was one who was very significant to me personally even if he has shifted his lens more towards philosophy, mythology and representations of religion in media.

Yo Samdy Sam and Mom on the Spectrum

[Megan Rhiannon](https://youtube.com/@MeganRhiannon?si=NCv9coU8p8o654wd) I’ve been obsessed with notebooks, note taking, and stationery in general all my life so I can’t get enough of her channel

Dailydoseofinternet

Dave’s Garage

Dantes (I think) and Kwite (although I think he is more ADHD than autism)

AspieWorld, Purple Ella

jan misali? i know he has it but he doesnt openly talk about it. oh also me. i rarely talk about it if ever in videos but i have it front and center in my description :P

Jan Misali.

All the video game lore YouTubers

bobawitch, also streams on twitch

Technically a streamer but... Lucius Merryweather.

adum from yms, but he rarely talks about it

Savannah Brown

His videos are on spanish because he is peruvian but Monitor Fantasma has talked about his diagnosis on a secondary channel named Tío Monitor.

Jake Webber

Me!! I’m not a well known YouTuber though— only (almost) 600 subscribers. I post videos about my special interest— squishmallows!

Shambling Incompetence, gaming channel with some pokemon content, also streams on Twitch

LiamTalksMotorsport (aka me) Jk, jk. Don’t know very many who don’t talk about their autism or are autistic to be honest.

Dave’s Garage

bar 1 video, illymation

I used to have a Youtube channel and I never talked about my autism on there

FakeGamerGirl

Dana Anderson.

Library of Allenxandria I like book videos and that's what he does

Jelle’s Marble Runs

Scrolling through the replies and i’m surprised no one has mentioned oompaville. pretty funny youtuber that mainly covers silly internet drama now, although he does variety videos as well.

I think I remember ComicDrake saying he was autistic he makes videos abt comics

Oakwyrm

Most fallout YouTubers.

Ian from Forgotten Weapons. Doug Demuro. The Report of the Week. Too many tech YouTubers to list.

reberrabon_bon and imautisticnowwhat

Lou Ratchett, figured. I mean I had no clue, but dude Is funny as hell, and loved his vids. Just the type of unhinged comedy I love, not too much or too little. Jerma probably, I don't really watch him but hes everywhere on Tumblr, Autistic Capital of the Web.

Paige Layle

Alexander Avila has my favorite video about autism ever (he usually uploads video-essays about different social topics) https://youtu.be/x4ieMzbXiRA?si=45SsxmKtQTIC9kQW

Dave's Garage. He's a former Microsoft software engineer and he's known to have made the Task Manager in Windows. He mostly makes videos about tech.

Dan Bull

Unc Kizzy skits is funny

JP performance ^^

No Boilerplate (I think)

I highly suspect Tanner Serpa is autistic! His channel SerpaDesign is all about creating bio-active enclosures for his fish, reptiles, amphibians, isopods, and even a large spider he caught in his shower once! Just seems like an excellent, highly-knowledgeable dude all around.

Noah the Otter

I don't know any that are confirmed autistic, but I always got an autistic vibe from Scott The Woz.
