Hi Everybody,
My name is Jim and I run the 'Jimberry and the Couscous Youtube Channel'
I am interested in autism and mental health.
I create music, art, poetry, cryptic crossword clues and videos about mental health.
However I am far from thriving. I, and I suspect many others with autistic spectrum conditions living in the UK, 'Live in Hell'.
If you would like to get to know more about me, please visit my Youtube Channel.
I have also recently joined 'Wrong Planet' where I explain how three of my works relate to autism.
Best wishes to everybody at the National Autistic Society, have a GrEaT dAy and...
HaPpY AuTiSm AdVaNcEmEnT dAy! (referenced in other posts of mine).
Cheers. Thanks for reading. I look forward to learning from and meeting you all.
Jim from Jimberry and the Couscous (small Youtuber)
Thank you very much Desmond79,
A warm welcome to you from Jim and the Jimberry and the Couscous Channel
I hope that you find a video there that you enjoy viewing!
There is a mixture of videos, and more to be made available soon (There are 39 currently available and a similar number again currently unavailable (I like the number three and multiples thereof!)) and hopefully more to be made in the not-to-distant future!
We shall mostly be publishing music, poetry, art, cryptic crossword clues, vlogs, interviews, videos relating to mental health and ... 'curios' (daft/silly stuff that amuses me).
There is also a professional quality video to be published on (or around) June 10th (my father's birthday); a documentary about my life being made by Jason Freeman Films.
On the channels page you will find links to 9 other autistic Youtubers that may be of interest to you. This number is likely to rise over time in multiples of 3.
Wishing you all the very best, and looking forward to getting to know you better,
Jim

ps I am currently not able to respond directly to comments made on my videos though I very much welcome them and am free to 'like' and 'love' them. I hope that to be just a temporary situation. My email address maybe found on the 'about' page.
pps Thanks again! HaVe A gReAt dAy!
Thank you tophatstomper,
I very much your situation and the situation of many here (it would seem) improves soon. I encourage that we are proactive by signing, sharing and supporting (or starting if able!) any open government petitions relating to advancing opportunities, services and assistance for autistics.
Many are in dire circumstances which. The situation is unsustainable.
We should not accept living miserably.
We need to fight for our rights to thrive and end systemic ableism.
Best wishes, Jim

I subscribed to your YouTube channel.
I am in a pressure cooker. It's hell.
I very much hope your situation improves soon MrsG. Kind regards and best wishes,

Thank you - I will look it up.
The Jam had a song 'Private Hell.'
Gosh I'm so glad I logged on here today because you have described exactly how I feel. I feel like I am in hell. I can't stop crying and I'm in such a very dark place that I can't get out of
I can't function in this world. So, I create my own world.
It's a pen drawing of a Napoleonic cuirassier helmet, cuirass and epaulettes, I did it many years ago. Yours is good, made up from musical notation symbols I see.
I like your Avatar very much!
Pleased to meet you Martin. Best wishes, Jim.
Merely Purgatory for me.
