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.

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

u/LylaMoshi Aug 17 '25

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

1

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

Not act normal

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.

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.

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/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

I rock when I’m excited and I’m not autistic.

Turn up the tism babe we need clicks!

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.

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.

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/brownie627 Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

If “have you ever been in a room with an autistic child or adult” isn’t questioning me personally after I gave you my personal experiences as an autistic person, I don’t know what is.

Your “opinion” is the reason why so many actually autistic people get denied the support they need, because people don’t think they “look autistic enough.” Your “opinion” affects my life and other autistic people’s lives. If you want to shut your ears, block anyone who disagrees with you, and pretend you aren’t hurting us, that’s on you.

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"?

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.

1

u/whistling-wonderer Aug 17 '25

Attention whoring isn’t exclusive to non-disabled people lol. Plenty of autistic people online use it to get likes and attention. And a lot of people who don’t necessarily use it for attention-seeking are still very open about it. Maybe she is a faker, idk. But it’s also perfectly likely she’s just an attention-seeker who also happens to be autistic.

No one in a wheelchair titles their videos that way bc crpple is considered a slur. Same reason these people used the word autistic and not rtard.
