Funny ads about autism

Post Reply New Topic

I thought these ads were brilliant. A great way to raise awareness. They're easy to follow with a simple one-line message at the end, which is important because the ads are aiming to inform a very wide audience, the whole of the UK, so they have to be easily understood by everyone. So I like how the ads are quite simple with a short, snappy one-liner at the end, describing the problems that some people with ASD might face. I think these ads go a long way in educating people who might otherwise know nothing about autism.

That first ad made my morning.

However, in a way it makes me wonder if I were misdiagnosed.

i think we all more or less feel like the slo mo blurry thing is extreme, i also don't see people turning into aliens with dark circles under their eyes, i would never panick in an emergency , of course i would call for an ambulance, but i think it's very hard to put a picture on confusion, they did the best they could and the intention is very good.
I am an adult now, i learnt not to put my hands on my ears, but i know i spent quite a few years as a kid blocking out sounds this way. i don't go and say that line about being ugly but i only stopped this during teenage years. and i still will get the urge to blurt it out if it really is what i think, so i shut up and try to give practical advice ( "do you really want to cry for a guy who clearly isn't made for you? he's not calling= he's not what you want, no need to cry over that kind of jerk") that seem blunt but do kick people's ass into getting over stuff.
IF there are some people experiencing such deep experiences, i think it's good that NTs are aware that they exist. i don't care that it doesn't totally fit with my experiences .
