👋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.

It's complicated! My friend taught me to say 'Glad to see you' and that made such a difference to my social anxiety around greetings. I've forgotten this in recent times ...good to be reminded.

You’ve hit the proverbial nail in the head! I wish people wouldn’t ask this question at all. It’s a complete mind field for some of us. 🤯

I have client who automatically responds "verging on magnificent". Makes you think about what you've asked 😆

I ask people how they are only when I really care to know. When I moved to North America I didn't realize that they just ask that casually or just as a saying, so I took it literally at the benining. All other cultures I lived in don't have even near as much of pointless small talk and insincere questions as here in North America. I still can't get used to it all even though I live here in forever, plus I am fairly literal person.

I despise that question. It makes me lie or disclose information I'm not comfortable with. I just tend to ignore it

I didn't discover until I was in my late twenties that this isn't a question at all! They don't really want to know. This is the same as hello. Before I figured this out, and I was asked How are you?, they would get a list.😂

"I'm doin'" is always my answer--I guess it's a sincere answer--it's certainly honest. ;-)

About five years ago I stopped answering that. I just stay quiet. Most people don’t expect a response back. It’s just a pleasantry, they don’t care.

Makes me start a rant in my head about using language properly. Don't utter a question if you don't want to ask a question!

I almost never ask others that question. I didn't notice that until recently. I'm not autistic. 😅
When others ask me that I don't know what to say. I'm trying to answer with something like : living... Lol.. Or like tired/hungry /stomach hurting.
I don't like the regular answers. I feel like it's fake

I've transitioned completely to, "I hope you're doing well." They can just say "you too" back, and nobody has to lie to anyone in greetings anymore lol

I’ve come to know that it’s just a greeting. Nobody wants to know how you are. So just smile and say “ wonderful ! And you “? Instead of my old “ well…… “ 15 min ramble. 😅

There's a wonderful Bill Bailey sketch about the British tendency to answer "not too bad". I thought about it and realised that it's the perfect answer, as it covers everything from "well, I'm still alive and able to talk, so that's something", to "yeah, things are pretty good but there's always room for improvement" and so you can say it whatever without actually lying or breaking from the form of the question.

I think it is more like "I wish you to be well." I think most people don't really want an unpleasant answer. Only very caring people really want to hear if you aren't doing well. When my grandmother was in her nineties, with painful arthritis and heart disease, she came up with the answer, "pretty good for rotten." It wasn't dishonest, but while it let people know that she was suffering from age-related ailments, it always got a laugh, instead of making other people feel bad.

Most of the time I say "I don't know." It's such a tricky question, and so often people don't even want a response. I'd rather they just didn't ask.

I challenge myself to give different answers every time, that are just one word: bored, glad, annoyed, chill; maybe throw in a morose, exhilarated, insatiable, infatuated, etc. But it's very tough to think of feelings on the spot!
So I end up saying "fine" or "good" like 80% of the time 😂

Its more of a social hello that confuses me.

I hold two realities at the same time. Part of me is fantastic and another part is troubled by many things I observe and am affected by because of the environment we live in and it's effects. I can choose which part I answer from and if the person asking wants to know. When I ask how someone is, I want to hear whatever they wish to respond according to what their intention is...

It's functionally ambiguous (a bit like sorry, which also means a lot of things): it's a somewhat fluid spectrum between greeting with potentially an opening for any emergency or immediately relevant statement (and some dialect variants like "alright" or "how do" or "wotcha" moreso that end ) or an actual question, but of varying depth to check in relative to the interaction or to life in general. Indicators like context, tone and speed of the words, and how well you know someone. For example is it in passing, a shop or cafe transaction, or are you sitting down in a cafe, meeting or someone's home with someone you know. And there's local variation across the globe where people speak English.

I usually mean it, at least in my mother language. I'm sincerely interested in how people are doing, but it's clear that not always we've got time for a real proper answer.
