Don’t Rush Me! I Need Time to Process My Thoughts! (Autism and Processing Time)

Don’t rush me! I need time to process my thoughts! They say the best thing you can give an autistic person is time. Give me time for my autistic thoughts and don’t rush me when I’m thinking. When someone asks me a question and I don’t answer right away, people tend to ask me again without waiting. This leads to feelings of overwhelm and makes it harder for me to think. In this video I share my thoughts on different ways autistic people take time to process information.

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
