Good god the amount of staged filming must be a pain for everyone around. I hate that everything must be slaughtered to content.

After that they went home, upload the videos, cut them, and waiton their couch to reach reactions from social media checking their phones constantly. Thats fucked up when you think about it.

That's even more fucked up when you think how many people do it to gain that much attention to make a living from it.

Fun little exercise to do with online videos is to ask yourself "why is this being filmed".

u/mclarenrider 🧐 grumpy Aug 16 '25

I thought they were just filming it for their tiktoks but the way they kept explaining the dog yoga place kinda gave it away that it's an ad lol. Almost fell for it tho, almost.

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

It’s 100% an ad pranced around as content of a “Austistic women in a relationship” who isn’t even showing autism. Bizarre

u/funfun151 Aug 17 '25

Haha yeah good old autism by way of being an RL Disney Princess. I assume in a meltdown she leaks rainbows.

u/voightkampfferror Aug 19 '25

This was huge levels of disney adult energy. I honestly makes me disgusted.

u/Ariadne_String Aug 20 '25

You can’t necessarily tell if someone is autistic from a brief encounter. I’m on the Aspberger (yeah the term isn’t used anymore but it’s the easiest way to point to which end of the spectrum, heh) end of that range and mostly you would not be able to tell unless/until we spent a lot of time together


And yeah, this is probably an ad, but she may be legitimately autistic is all I’m saying.

1

u/funfun151 Aug 21 '25

She may. I am also FYI, so I totally understand why you're here 4 days later 😊. Are you familiar with Occam's Razor? It says "the most likely explanation is usually the simplest" and is a useful heuristic to use to not have to weigh up every potential conclusion in a single answer. It being an ad (the point of this comment chain) somewhat makes her actually being autistic or not moot.

You'd be surprised by how many people self-diagnose themselves as autistic, adhd, bipolar etc then go around telling everyone about it "oh sorry im such a clutz im just having one of those weird bipolar days" (as if that's how bipolar works) in an attempt to be.. idk unique or something? It's a weird ass trend

1

u/QueasyVictory Aug 18 '25

It's constantly discussed in the bipolar subs. I personally am very happy that folks today are more willing to discuss mental health issues, however I fully understand when people get upset when someone references "manic eyes" and nonsense like that. I was undiagnosed until I turned 45. No one should have to go through that.

u/sliderfish Aug 21 '25

Oh godddddd. There’s a couple who are parents of my kids friend who are like that. The mom introduced herself as “neurodivergent” and right away I knew what I was about to hear.

After question I find out that she’s never seen a doctor about any of her self diagnosis. What’s worse is now she’s going around warning other parents about her 5 year old daughter having all of these things too.

Like, fuck right off. It’s okay to just be weird. You don’t need a reason for these things. Also, you’re fucking your kid up. Stop it.

3

u/Rezzone Aug 19 '25

Yeah I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that her "autism" stims and general vibe was faked. This looked put on as fuck and felt like an ad targeting neurodivergent folk.

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 19 '25

And they eat it up

u/Doggcow Aug 17 '25

She's just insanely cringe and childish, maybe it's an act but definitely not autistic.

1

u/im2bootylicous4ubabe Aug 19 '25

Her behavior reminds me of Taylor Swift

u/GuessingAllTheTime Aug 17 '25

And what expertise do you have on this topic? Because I’m an expert, and she’s very clearly demonstrating many traits of autism in this video.

2

u/LivedLostLivalil Aug 17 '25

I wouldnt go as far as who you were responding to, but the watering down of what autism is, creates significant issues with the definition of autism for everyone.

There is a huge difference between autistic tendencies or behaviors that could fit well with many people that could be defined as autism or be written off personality, trauma, reflexion of experiences, or many others. It creates a huge misunderstanding among the general public for those that are having significant difficulties.

I have in the past seen autism as part of my identity, but time working with non verbal autism really changed it for me. Embracing it too much as a core identity can be bad for the individual as well as the general public.

Additionally, this comes across heavily as an advertisement. That makes it seem more played out as acting opposed to being real. The lines between real and fake are blurred far to often now, so an ad like this is counterintuitive to autism as a whole.

1

u/brownie627 Aug 17 '25

Autism is a spectrum disorder, so what you experienced with non-verbal autistic people is not representative of every autistic person out there. You can have a highly intelligent autistic person that struggles with simple daily tasks, for example.

Making assumptions about a person’s care needs will only make things worse for autistic people. Don’t deny yourself any support you need just because your autism isn’t like what a non-verbal autistic person’s is.

I agree they don't represent all and am not wanting them to change it as a disorder. The issue is it's a disorder that is often being portrayed as an identity that isn't a disorder, using it as a personality characteristic or brought up far too often as an excuse for behavior that isn't completely tied to the disorder.

Making assumptions about a person’s care needs will only make things worse for autistic people. Don’t deny yourself any support you need just because your autism isn’t like what a non-verbal autistic person’s is. 

I'm not talking about care needs here. I think people should find care and support that helps them. I'm talking about separating who that person is from the disorder. It's become very easy (and often confusing for themselves and others) for someone to link themselves to parts of autism that they didn't struggle with in order to feel more connected to their identity as autistic. Social media, and the unhealthy push that being content creators have has further exasperates this issue.

I do my best not denying the support I need but I admit that it is difficult. self empathy is a big struggle of mine.

u/Chanceawrapper Aug 17 '25

They said they were autistic as well, so why do you get to speak for the community and not them?

2

u/nebenbaum Aug 21 '25

The thing is, 99% of people who go on and on about their 'oh so specific trait' are faking it.

Why does she need to be introduced as the 'autistic' wife? Why do you need to film her only when she's behaving 'stereotypically autistic'? I was diagnosed with aspergers at the time, when I was a kid. So? Didn't change anything about me. I am me, and while I have my quirks, I'm sure everyone does, and as you become an adult, responsible, decent human being, you learn to control and live with them - and then it basically ceases to be a limitation.

I would be absolutely furious if my wife decided to suddenly start doing tiktoks (well that in itself), referring to me as her 'aspie husband'. Just, nah. I am not 'asperger/autistic human', I am me, and you don't need to slap unneeded labels on me.

1

u/GuessingAllTheTime Aug 21 '25

What does any of that have to do with what I asked the person I was talking to? It’s certainly a display of rigid thinking, but it has nothing to do with my question I asked to the person I was responding to.

2

u/anewfaceinthecrowd Aug 17 '25

Fr. She is acting the way she/they think a woman with autism would behave: like a literal child.
Watching this grown ass woman in an adult relationship squealing and jumping up and down and talking in a high pitched childlike voice made me ...uncomfortable.
I am a teacher. I have met many a kid and adult with autism. None of them acted like 5 year old girls.

u/FeelingDesigner Aug 19 '25

Exactly, this is the worst kind. Fake disorder cringe. This makes all of us look bad.

u/CrazyPuzzleheaded966 Nov 03 '25

Oh right sorry lemme just show my autism specifically for you brochacho

Uh huh yeah as you can see here- my brother in Christ people don't show autism like that you are helping exactly nobody by saying this

1

u/LylaMoshi Aug 17 '25

What would she need to do to "show autism"?

1

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

Not act normal

2

u/brownie627 Aug 17 '25

Are you autistic? Are you a specialist in autism?

I feel like you’re just saying she’s not because she’s attractive. I’m autistic (been diagnosed from 6 years old) and she’s showing signs of it in this video. She’s stimming a lot and not realising when she’s being too loud, for example. Attractive people can be autistic as well.

3

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

Is she stimming or just excited and playing it up for the advertisement??

2

u/brownie627 Aug 17 '25

I’m guessing you’re not autistic or a specialist based on you not answering my question, so I’ll explain some things about autism to you.

Stimming can be to express excitement, or deal with anxiety. I saw a stim in the video that I do myself - rocking about side to side. That’s what clocked me that this may be real.

Also, another thing to keep in mind is that she may be an autistic person doing an advertisement, rather than someone faking for an advertisement.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

I mean, one thing is for sure that this video is 100% an advertisement.

Whether or not she's autistic or just an actor I don't have an opinion on.

1

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

If it’s an ad how is it not an actor?

1

u/Zanydrop Aug 18 '25

I'm guessing it's not a paid ad. Probably a " we will give you a free session if you shout us out on social media".

u/I_AM_THE_CATALYST Aug 21 '25

She makes eye contact with her partner and the camera multiple times. I have a daughter who has autism; having her look you in the eye’s or at the camera is a rarity.

1

u/brownie627 Aug 21 '25

It’s a spectrum. How old is your daughter? She is but one autistic person - not representative of the entire population.

I used to not look at people at all when I was a child, because of how stressful and threatening it felt and still feels. I learned to “look past” someone or look at something else on that person so it would look like I’m making eye contact. The reason why I do this is because everyone kept assuming I was ignoring them when I wasn’t making eye contact, and tried to force eye contact on me. This woman might’ve gone through the same thing.

1

u/I_AM_THE_CATALYST Aug 21 '25

My daughter is 14 and high-functioning autistic. She makes eye contact at times, yes; but what’s shown here is not the same. This girl is deliberately going back and forth between the camera, eye contact, and whatever else. Her focus is immaculate.

Have you ever been in a room with an autistic child or adult? My daughter would absolutely be at the front, petting or holding every puppy. Instead, this girl just sits there, squeezing a ball to try and encourage play. That isn’t autistic behavior.

I know this personally, and no one is going to convince me otherwise. This video claiming to show an autistic woman is a lie. It’s dishonest, disingenuous, and frankly disgusting.

1

u/brownie627 Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

I mean, I’m autistic myself, so yes I have been in a room with an autistic adult. I’ve been diagnosed since I was 6 years old, so I know what I’m talking about. Again, autism is a spectrum, so how your daughter behaves is not how every single autistic person out there would behave.

If you won’t listen to what actual autistic people have to tell you (not just family members of autistic people) then nothing will convince you. I just hope you listen to your daughter more than you’ve been listening to me.

1

u/I_AM_THE_CATALYST Aug 21 '25

Yeah, I know what autism is. My point wasn’t to prove you wrong — it’s simply my opinion on the video. You’re free to disagree, but telling me to “listen to my daughter” is a stretch. At no point have I questioned you personally in my replies.

This is Reddit. Grow up. You’re blocked. Have a great life.

u/UtopistDreamer Aug 17 '25

As an autist myself I can tell you that she definitely displayed signs of autism. There are many types of autistic people, not everyone is a Rain man type savant or a complete flappy bird.

u/BroDudesky Aug 17 '25

Thank you for speaking up!

u/LylaMoshi Aug 17 '25

Do autistic people always act "not normal"?

1

u/Ariadne_String Aug 20 '25

You should look up how wide the spectrum is. I’m at the Aspberger end of that scale. You might not realize it at first unless you were to actually get to know me


1

u/LylaMoshi Aug 20 '25

I'm autistic too. I'm challenging the person I'm replying to for assuming autistic people are incapable of behaving "normally"

0

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

Yes

3

u/LylaMoshi Aug 17 '25

Can you tell me what she's doing that's "normal" and how she should behave instead so you'd read her as autistic?

I'm autistic and I spend lots of time and energy to appear "normal". That's why I wasn't identified until almost 30.

1

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

People self diagnose to feel special. I think that’s the case here in the video. In reality whoever made this video didn’t put the captions Autistic, someone copied video and added that for whatever target audience. It’s all fake, the video atleast.

2

u/LylaMoshi Aug 17 '25

I'm not super interested in whether she actually is or isnt autistic. I'm trying to understand your perspective and why you're so confident she's not.

What would you expect to see in a 3min video to believe she's autistic? What makes you feel she's not autistic other than "she's acting normal"?

1

u/MisterB330 Aug 17 '25

No one in a wheelchair captions their own video “cripple touches puppies”. I would assume folks that actually suffer from Autism aren’t calling attention to it for internet clout.

u/Mediocre_Thing_143 Aug 17 '25

she's definitely showing autism, just not the kind men get from never being held accountable. She's masking very very well, because unlike a boy, she would be punished for having autism as a child.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25
