Top Comments of this video!! :3
I didnāt get diagnosed with ADHD until i was 21 because itās harder to spot in females (although if you look up the signs in females, I match pretty much all of them, so if somebody had just bothered to look into it, it would have made my adolescence so much easier) also everybody always told me I was just anxious even though I knew it was more than that. I had to work really hard and spend a lot of money just to get in the room with a doctor.
Once I got the diagnosis nothing changed initially. I wasnāt in therapy, couldnāt get meds. But even just having my thoughts confirmed was such a weight lifted off my shoulders. So I completely understand what Jake is saying. Sometimes you just need someone to say āyouāre not making this up. This is why you are the way that you are. Itās not all just in your headā

As an autistic person myself, johnnie and Jake's videos are one of my safe programmes. I've always struggled with making friends. Hopefully 1 day I Will have a friendship like Jake and Johnnie's šš¤
I was also told when I was younger that I wasn't autistic because I was making a eye contact. 16 years later they are Wrong

Everything Jake is saying is pretty much describing my childhood. I always knew something wasnāt right and that I wasnāt like everyone else. I did so many tests growing up, and a little over a year ago, I was diagnosed with autism and adhd. Itās a lot harder for girl and women to be diagnosed. I am just like Jake in the sense that I had to teach myself these skills in order to come across as normal. I have always been mentally younger than my real age and to this day I am a 23 year old woman but feel like Iām in the body of an emotional 8 year old. Iām so glad more people are talking so openly and honestly about this

wish my psychologist had that dedication. i did it through video call and he just said itās obvious to him when people are autistic because of the way they talk and iām talking normally to him. i was a little surprised when jake came out with this diagnosis for the same reason, he seems so normal on camera. i might never know whatās wrong with me, but iām proud of jake for speaking about it so openly

I looooove this. I'm so happy that Jake is so open about his autism diagnosis. Having disabilities can be a struggle. Having friendship issues because of your disabilitie(s) can be even harder. Jake helps people (including myself) feel much less alone when he is so open and also when he is so comfortable about his diagnosis. ā¤ He deserves lots of credit for that. He's inspiring. ā¤

a thought I will always share as someone trying to get an autism diagnosis is this (it applies to all neurodivergences). A diagnosis will not make someone think they are different, they will know that anyway. Instead they will be able to see that they are struggling with certain things because they have ASD, ADHD, BPD or the like instead of thinking that they are just stupid, useless, oversensitive, overreacting or just not trying hard enough.

Hi, Zach!
I just wanted to thank you for starting that radio show 17 years ago. I just discovered your show in the last four years and you've been a bright spot in my day since then. You have such a natural way with people, and you created a space of comfort where artists I admire can be truly open with you. Thank you for that.
You are a beautiful human inside and out!

i can relate to jake a lot, like no matter what i went through i always was like man what is wrong with me, why do i have this certain behavior pattern or just feelings that i dont understand. but now im 20, and i look back on my life as a kid and it makes so much sense of why im autistic and its much easier to know why i feel the way i do. and its always nice to hear that im not alone in that.

The way he talks about his experience is so nice. I really appreciate it as a neurodivergent person myself and it makes me accept myself more :ā)
