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. 

  • Maybe you already know them, but if you like behind the scenes stuff, have a look for "VFX artists react" on the Corridor channel. I'm not a fan of "react" videos, but theirs is more discussion of how a lot of films and TV were produced. Some of it is based on behind the scenes, some is just them theorising based on their experience. They have episodes going into practical effects, and have "Animators react" and ones about stunts as well. It's really interesting stuff. They had one recently on Wallace and Gromit.

  • I will definitely check that out, sounds awesome. Thanks for the suggestion Slight smile
