I spend far too much time on YouTube, and I'm looking for some new things to watch. Please let me know:
1) What your favourite thing is to watch on YouTube
2) What autistic youtuber/autism channels would you recommend?
My current favourite things to watch is "Rate My Takeaway" channel, and the autistic youtuber I learn a lot from is Orion Kelly
My favorite thing to relax is watching ASMR videos, particularly from Rebecca. If you haven't tried it out already, it might be very interesting for you! She makes my day.
Some other channels you might enjoy: Adult with Autism; Autistic AF; Autistic Jenny; Foster on the Spectrum; Loren Snow.
Thank you for this list - lots of channels I hadn't heard of.
Thank you FH, that’s really helpful and there’s some new ones I haven’t heard of so will check them out
Hey I don't watch anything in particular on YT usually just celebrities interviews, music vids, scenes from my fav movies. Helps me unwind and relax.
I haven't looked up any autistic videos before. Didn't even consider it tbh but I will now you've mentioned it.

I hadn't thought about watching something particularly for Autistic peeps. I did get into watching Willjum videos whilst he played Rust when I came down with COVID. I found them most enjoyable
I don’t tend to unsubscribe to a channel once I stop watching it (I don’t want to hurt their feelings) unless I have a grievance with it, so these are basically all the autistic ones I’ve ever watched.
I’ll only include ones who discuss autism but there are other channels with autistic creators…
Autism From The Inside
Autistic Not Alien
Elyse Myers (more so ADHD but there was a single video with an AuDHD tag so… but the videos are relatable and funny (mental chuckle type thing)) How to ADHD is also an ADHD one
I’m Autistic, Now What?
Jeremy Andrew Davis
Mom on the Spectrum
Morgan Foley
neurodivergent me
Orion Kelly - That Autistic Guy (I know you already said this one)
Purple Ella
Sydney Zarlengo
The Thought Spot
Thomas Henley
Toren Wolf
Yo Sandy Sam
Zara Beth
.. And well that should be enough. There’s a few more I didn’t include. I really haven’t watched most of these in ages
Maybe I have unsubscribed from some.. I thought I had The Aspie World but now it’s gone. Oh well
