L.T.W.A - Leo's Thriv With Autism

Great! Computer hard crashed! Lost everything recent.

1. New videos i was editing. Gone.
2. A few shorts that i was working on the computer instead of phone.. gone.

3. All recent files gone.

Hows your weekend starting off? By the way F'ck Microsoft! I celebrated when i saw the number of of windows pc's go from 99% down to 79% and liunx tick up almost 10%

I think i will be going linux now. Just need to figure out how.

Im going to slowly transition out of Windows. Im done with this crap.

They enable so much crap these days and all it does is spy on you.

And everything that used to be optional would never get installed so micrsoft programmed it to be integrated to the os so you use it BY FORCE!!

I cannot wait to get of this stupid industry. Im sick of IT its not even a shell of its former self anymore.

Celebrate with me we, we have 21 supporters over on the autism reframed channel! This is big!

This channel here keeps jumping between 1883 and 1885. So it's kind stuck (for now). I keep gaining and losing people that like than leave lol. All good though im not worried.

Im happy to see growth on the new channel.

Still trying to figure out how to do some collabs. So those will be coming up in the near future there. Among other things.

Here im still trying to learn how to improve my shorts videos game. The number 1 issue is that most people scroll away. Or skip the vid in large numbers. If i can find a way to win more of them then just maybe my chances of hitting a viral shorts video could happen.

Stay tuned!

There is something cool about being Autistic in my point of view. For example our hyper focus allowing us the ability to learn quick and produce awesome things and results.

At work they said i needed to take care of a new system i never once worked with. But finding out that its similar to the system i do work with allowed me to dig in. Fixate on learning and quickly pick up this new system.

With it i've been able to earn a promotion a few years back for the amazing job ive done since.

Is this something you can relate too? Let me know what your autism allowed you to be an expert on. 👍

Friends, how many of you out there feel ignored when you talk? Feel misunderstood maybe. Feel like you're surrounded by millions yet it feels like a void because you talk but no one acknowledges. Ever felt that way?

I want you to know you are not alone and i hear you. I try and understand you as best as i can and if i still don't understand i ask you to clarify and help me understand.

The latest video i did is the most perfect example of that. And i show you how i too am always misunderstood.

Check out these numbers.

400k views channel wide
Nearly 500 videos.
Nearly 2000 community posts.

And at the end of the day the amount of engagement i get on average is between 0.1% to 1% thats tiny at best. Which shows that the majority " don't care ".

This video has now been up for a day. In one day time from i rotated titles multiple times. Each time getting more creative. I worked on thumbnail and switched it around about 4 times already.

This is me yelling and people still passing it by. How do i know this? The numbers says that youtube showed the video to 560 people so far. 0% clicked on it. Thats 560 people in a 24 hour time frame that said " i couldn't care less about that video. " within the last 5 hours it showed it to another 100 people and 1 clicked. But they left after 20 seconds. Good that they clicked im happy. But im sad they didn't stay.

Look this is not me complaining im just using the example to show that i too always am yelling out to see who hears me and 90% of the time im ignored.

The way I've been able to deal with it is by understanding that the message i have is not the problem. It's a great message. My thumbnails and titles aren't the issue. So i should take it personally. This is just others making their decision not to care. Which they have the right to do. And it isn't a personal attack. It's just what it is.

Hope this helps anyone reading! Remember most things aren't truly personal attacks it's just our empathy that makes it feel that way.

For today's challenge Friends, try not to take every last thing personal or direct. But sometimes its not. And even if it is why let someone into your head rent free and let them stay there? It's Your mind. It belong to you only.

Normally the way i practice this is by just letting it roll off. Or i put a shield in front of myself for example saying "i'm sorry you feel that way, and i hope your day gets better". Its a shield instead of letting it hurt i just simply let it roll and wish them a great day its positive and it does not ruin how i feel.

In worst cases i just give people my back as i walk away. That's an instant shut down.

It's situation dependent of course. And it's up to you to determine what you think is right for yourself. I am not saying do either of these as much as i am just sharing something that works for me. If you chose to use it or not thats completely up to you.

But try this for a day and see if it helps you keep your peace and happiness!

Have a great day!
