What tips of theirs have you found helpful. The titles seemed too click bags for me. I did skip through some but they seemed to just give examples of things "sometimes tasks seem to big" "my autistic partner dosnt like noise" without any real information.

    Not so much tips but more acknowledgment, and (for me) one of the first who make useful distinctions between the two brains (the autism brain and the adhd brain) and how they often pull in different directions and create paralysis and fatigue.

    And the tips of how she lives with him is really helpful too, where the neurodivergent person would not think of that as unusual and the neurotypical really needs a lot of kindness, empathy and understanding to understand that world.

    Auticate (Chris and Debby) is good value, especially if you're recently diagnosed and/or trying to figure everything out.

    Thanks. It’s getting downvoted pretty badly because of the way Lemmy formats crossposts, but i’ll leave it up, it might help one other person.

    You don't even mention the name of the channel. It's a very clickbaity post and deserves the down votes. And I'm a fan of Auticate.

    Fair enough. I’ve learned a lot from posting and cross posting to these communities. Either you share perfectly to high standards or they pitchfork you out. I’ll dial back to lurking I think, not the crowd I was expecting.

    If putting the name of the thing you're promoting is too much to ask of you, I do believe we are not your crowd. That's such a low bar, it can hardly be called a bar at all.

    I see your point. But rule 2 and 3, are very much encouraging any post.

    There’s a serious difference between “Cool channel, could you add the name of the channel to your OP?”, vs the treatment I’ve gotten.

    I was simply sharing, and if the community has unwritten expectations, just say so. Instead you get silent downvoting at best and people swearing at you condoned by moderators.

    Lemmy is not doing well. It is not taking off. If this is how a random stranger walking into a vulnerable online space gets treated then we’re definitely not going to make it.

    I don't know about that...
    Giving a look through their content I didn't find citations to any researchers or anyone in the medical field. Many times in the videos the presenter says "I've observed" and "I learned that".
    The description of the videos don't include links to any sources but onclude links to products on amazon and a link to their paid membership ($190 a year. ouch)

    Looks like the tipical self-help scam to me

    He can be corny, but I really like them.

    I've watched a few of their videos and definitely the content is validating, but I don't find it terribly useful. They are trying to sell their package of ND self-help products.. which is fine, I guess? As long as it isn't a rip-off.

    Not the best browser if clicking a yt channel link is so heavily browser mangled.

    Just replace

    /watch?v=%40
    

    With

    @

    Looks like a charset conflict on your machine.

    It's firefox, and I load a lot of YT inks from here without problem, which leads me to think the link is incorrectly formatted.

    The link being shown in your post, above the video embed says:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=@Auticate

    Anyway, based on how you interact with people, we are done here.

    I’m just trying to help. I responded in kind to one person who was swearing.

    Looks like this is the same issue as others are having: a really poor lemmy client or just the website doing a lot of garbling with links or crossposts.

    I genuinely saw this vid and found their entire channel super helpful for this community and the other 4, so I posted this.

    Of course everyone is suffering in these communities so it doesn’t help if the platform implementation is really beyond saving.

    So sorry it’s not your browser it’s lemmy/ your lemmy client. All the best.

    Copypasta from the channel's bio for context:

    Auticate with Chris & Debby Description Helping autistic and AuDHD adults and parents of neurodivergent kids navigate the world of autism and ADHD

    After Chris was late diagnosed as being autistic in addition to having ADHD, we have been learning about how to make adjustments to our lives to better support an AuDHD brain. Before that? We moved to Taiwan to build careers in education over 15 years ago. Since then we've helped over 1,000 families, supported neurodivergent students and staff, and traveled to numerous countries. Now we're sharing what we've learned about autism, ADHD, and life as a neurodiverse couple...all with our signature humor, positivity, and unique outlook on life together.

    On this channel, expect a mix of wisdom, experiences, hilarious anecdotes, and useful tools. We’re sharing our lived experiences as educators, as well as the lived experience of an autistic ADHD entrepreneur, manager, and teacher. Intrigued? Dive into our content! Grateful you're here with us!
