are you cool with taking your sister
yeah wait
what i have my own plan
okay i'll see you tonight okay
focus
how can i help
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
wow i was really touching
even you know i know somebody with
autism
and this stays in the same block as us
his name
ryan and he's
well he can say some words but not a lot
and posit i'm positive he's non-verbal
in it
and i think because it's one of our
neighbors
and he gets support seven days a week
yeah i'm not being funny but
i was quite scary like i wouldn't be
like it's like if i'm like fuzzy and
confusing
it's like she'd been dropped or
something
evan was so and nobody was listening to
what she was saying and then they were
really confusing her
as well i don't understand that but if
that's how it is in the cafe for that
girl
good honor for being able to go a cafe
because
the noise is louder everything's more
focused and
i don't know i just thought it was
really really really hard
to follow i don't know how she can be in
a cafe
and understand the conversations and
even her opinion didn't like
one minute she's getting taken somewhere
by somebody and then the next minute the
dad changed
changed it she does have her own mind as
well and it's like nobody's like nobody
was actually listening
to her you know so i think that was the
whole point of the story
uh well she's still a human being she
deserves to be like
she still has feelings and needs and
wants and she can still go out with a
friend she's not totally incapable
have you ever seen have you ever heard
of carly at all
no i've not know that was the first time
i thought it was quite good
that's good was that just about our own
cafe
is um from what i gathered like
amy sent me the description uh carly is
a youtuber she's non-verbal
and uh she uses a machine fin to
communicate
and i don't know what the machine
thing's called sorry and uh
this was uh she directed this in order
to show
what it's like for her in a coffee shop
or something
because um a lot of the times with her
mum and dad her mom and dad are divorced
her dad would take her to a coffee shop
or something and
she just couldn't handle it and uh yeah
they just they both decided to try and
show for her at least because autism is
an individual thing
what it's like for her to be in there to
be
to be in a place where your typical
people find relaxing
for some reason i
can't i can't really relate because i
don't do crowds or
like i can relate with her but i can't
relate to the relaxing space because
that's not what that place is for me
is just like dude
well she doesn't find it relaxing that's
the thought
yeah it's the exact same it's like
tunnel vision
and you can hear like in the video clip
everything click in the clock and the
the
cutlery and you can hear it more
than you can actually hear anything
else uh no
you know where
yes he knows where she's coming from
because she doesn't know what to say
like when someone says like how can i
help you or what can i do
you you don't have the words
articulate that even with like a diamond
box
thing
from what i read um amy sent it to me so
i never picked this video
but um from what i read uh it was trying
to show um
for carly anyway because ultim is an
individual disability
but this is how carly feels um in spaces
where other people might find relaxing
like a coffee shop um she's able to pick
lots of noises all the way around her
and it's very overwhelming
yeah i can imagine it would be actually
is there any places that you find
overwhelming yourself
um sort of you know like
busy places you know there's lots of
people around
yeah that was like
felt really closed then
like suffocate and too much was
happening at once
and i think if you can deal with that
good on you but
oh that's totally different than
how i would have been if i had been half
i'd have had a different experience
and even when she asked for a coffee she
ended up a hot chocolate like nothing
was
nothing she was saying was working out
for her
yeah is it but do you have to go up and
get your own thing or can
is it that they don't understand her or
is
[Music]
mixture of um one it's impatient so when
she's trying to give her older and she
might be too nervous
they're just like okay you're gonna have
this um yeah doesn't it
if i remember one of my friends um one
of my friends has trouble
uh with money for example so she was
trying to
give the bus driver the money so she was
counting it and he got impatient so he
took all the money and just put it in
the
fin that's just rude i just i just told
you to get on the bus
that's very good in front of everyone
so that's that's not on that's totally
that's very good
i would have put in a complaint straight
away because i'm
the girl's trying to do the best that
she can do
it's not up to the bus driver to decide
if she can do better or if he can do it
quicker
he should have respect for everybody
getting on the bus
suppose i suppose actually living with a
condition as well
can be quite hard yeah
they should be understanding like i
don't understand why people don't
understand things like that because i
would never have known what would have
been like
until you just showed me that video like
i had no idea i would not cope with that
that was just like
boom boom boom boom boom yeah even at
the beginning in that film
when i seen the girl's face and it was
like
the adjective that comes to me is the
frustration and
carrying the frustration
people just not understanding and
accepting
i know there's a boy that comes up on
facebook and he gets frustrated that
people
assume because he's not wearing a mask
he's
it's for his health he doesn't wear a
mask
some people that seem to know better
than
skull and he's put it on facebook a lot
on mine that he's frustrated
people and it's i know it's a thing that
said a lot but
people shouldn't just judge and the the
other thing him
that i see in morrison's toilet but i
really like you i've took a photo of it
not all disabilities are visible
and that that's true just
trying to understand and somebody could
be having a really really horrible day
you could be having a horrible day too
but try and be a bit sensitive
you never know amy amy was the one who
took that video so i think she
felt it explained her her version of
autism
because autism is an individual
disability
um but the same feeling usually with
most autistic says it's a very
claustrophobic
feeling uh lots of things are happening
all at once the noises
so he being claustrophobic and
that was very claustrophobic and i'm
glad amy
i'm glad you showed me that and then
glad they may practice because if not
even though i've been speaking to people
about autism and stuff
i still had no idea what
that would have been like and i was
sitting here going
oh my lord like what a shame
shouldn't you know where she's coming
again there's too much going on she can
hear
every single noise every single person
talking
every movement it's just it's too much
so but i've got people friends that are
autistic and i didn't
realize that's a very good video to
actually show by the way to make people
understand
about i think that's why my baby shared
it because
to be honest i think that video has been
a massive eye opener for me
even after speaking to people i didn't
realize it was anything like that
you
