What do you watch on YouTube? Recommendations for autistic Youtubers

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

  • Hi Andy! Nice to meet you. Slight smile

    I spend waaaayyyy too much time watching YT videos. I feel like I should be doing more, but I enjoy them and sometimes it can be learning videos too so I feel like that's ok. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! ;)

    My fave videos to watch are either music videos or movie Behind the Scenes, I like watching outtakes from my fave movies, some of them can be so funny. I watch a lot of Robin Williams (RIP) Behind the Scenes and he was so funny in outtakes.

    Highly recommend those, if you're in to that too.

    I don't have a fave autism Youtuber yet. I'm not long diagnosed, so this is something I am still discovering for myself but I saw your own suggestion has really helped you so I will be checking out Orion Kelly for myself too as though I'm diagnosed now it's all still new to me and I really know very little about autism, so this channel will likely be a big help to me.

    Thanks for creating this thread. I look forward to your reply - also, love your PFP, Lego is the best!

  • Hey August, thanks for the nice comment. 
    I like a lot of behind the scenes movie stuff too! I have spent most of the day watching Adolescence behind the scenes as I found it amazing that they did each episode in one continuous shot. 
    I miss Robin Williams, he was such a great person and so funny. 
    Congratulations on your diagnosis, I hope you find being part of this community helpful! I’m still learning almost 2 years on from my diagnosis, and this community has been really good to learn from. 
    If you need any other recommendations for autistic YouTubers, let me know… I’ve got quite a playlist now.

    Yes Lego is the best! Lol. Although it’s the most expensive interest to have! What’s your favourite theme? I recently just finished the Titanic, took be a solid full week but it looks amazing.
