Okay, we are live for another Aughty Time live stream Q&A as you eat being everybody It's being another one of those I don't know if I'm gonna have a time at which there isn't like I Don't know some something something like like having a calm week I think I've had one since starting these these live streams where it's being like actually being okay Oh Crazy have your weeks weeks been so far. How are you doing? Let me know fill me in So it's gonna be just the same as usual I think on these lives, you know ask me some questions Can be autism related mental health self-improvement things that are personal to me go for it Please hi, Austin. Nice to see you in here, man. I forgot set like a Reschedule also of a placeholder for this live stream. So I'm glad that it's You guys have been notified about it.  You just been chilling. Let me know be interested to know my weeks being Quite open down to be honest like my mental health just been fluctuating quite wildly at the moment. So It's Yeah, so but being a case where just just kind of Adjusting things as I'm going on which is not the best because I quite like to have a good routine to kind of set up and stuff But you know, what can you do a life? Hey? Hi, Joshua Makes coming back on man the the Instagram hydration reminder person I've got my my staple Too late a bowl of Pepsi today Brilliant Please keep switching to Austin says I almost quit my job one day But I talked to my supervisor on my workload got adjusted and I was given two days just to catch up on work. That's good No, it's it's hard isn't it? I think I'm I've been kind of going through a situation where I kind of feel particularly at the moment like It's it's either that the people view you as being able to Like cope with everything and do everything to a high standard or just not at all Like there's no there's no kind of middle ground of like being good at certain things and then not being so good at other things It's it's difficult sometimes and I think we especially if you have my mental health difficulties and stuff like myself Your capacity kind of changes week on week Do you work full-time Austin or is it kind of like a part-time thing? No, not water. Just sure today Hmm full-time Wow Five days a week nine to five How's my day been so far? Not too bad actually. I mean my anxiety has been all over the place at the moment, but It seems to be keeping on track for things to some degree I've got some kind of plans in the work about Like the stuff that I'm gonna do and I'm thinking at some point Once I get myself all set up and started I'm gonna start start possibly doing some lifestreams like proper ones Now go for go for YouTube. It's probably gonna be on YouTube. Not gonna lie, but I'm We're gonna go through and watch some some different autism content. I'm gonna give my my sort of sides of it and stuff It might be quite cool. I Don't know of any other people any other person that does that so Give it a go What's my favorite type of coffee? I Don't like hot drinks. I like cold drinks So usually probably like ice latte or something with an extra shock summer caffeine addicts Five days a week Fridays only half days, but I get pulled paid for four week. That's great Do you have like adjustments in place and stuff? The sky above said I had my autism assessment this week and I'm so exhausted now Did others also find it so tiring? I think a lot of people do because it's it's it's a bit of a weird situation because the way that they do it It's not like necessarily like Asking you specific questions About things it's like getting you to do a task and they like observe your behavior and stuff which can be It's a bit weird To go through that kind of thing it was weird for me even when I was like ten years old That's good that he gives you some leeway with things It's not no like formal adjustments in place. I have been exercising have indeed Perhaps not to the degree that I've been wanting to I had one day where I was gonna Not really feeling it one day where I think I went to the gym about 10 p.m. So I Ended up getting a home at like half half one in the morning, which was not good, but I did it I've tried cappuccinos and lattes. Yeah, I just like that like the iced coffees, you know I'll have a coffee if it's going but I tend to go with like particular ones like The iced versions or usually to be honest energy drinks is like my go-to but not like the Like a full sugar like monster ones that you can get that's more of the Like the powdered like supplement ones that you can get which is it's been good I mean it has like obviously has like elements of hydration to it. There's a few like particular supplements that can help with Productivity and things like that. So It's good. It's also got this compound in it called L. Fianine, which I always talk about And how many people know about is it's this compound that's found in green tea not red bull. Hey, I don't like red bull But it's it's really good because it kind of mitigates like the Like the the jitteriness and the anxiety that you can get from a Caffeine so that's really good for me. So if I did if I just drink like loads of coffee and stuff, it's not not too good I try I try the Luke said I have the Luke said sport when In the in the odd occasion that I actually do some cardio or I choose to like do some shadow sparring at something at the gym Or leg days, maybe get some white hydration drinks Sometimes sometimes Hey, Jack, how you doing? Thank you very much, dude. I've actually worn a shirt today. It's a rare occasion where I'm wearing a polo. I Haven't tried Luke said a lot. How is that? I just have very particular tastes when it comes to drinks and Like the one that I've got at the moment. It's called sneak. It's like this Powdered energy drink thing that you can get which is it's pretty good You can get it in like different flavors got like a rhubarb and custard one and some like lemonade ones Bless me So Yeah, I mean You good. It's good. It's called to talk about any drinks, but let's talk about some autism stuff All right Pull up my Instagram for a bit of reference. I did release as I said the Managing Alex find me a post guide, whatever you want to call it That is very much what I did to better understand my emotions my emotional states prevent me out of dance and stuff. So if you are Looking for that kind of thing and you're autistic It's probably probably a good idea to check out the managing Alex find me a guy because it's a good. It's a good one Thank you very much Joshua for buying a badge for the live stream much appreciated. Thank you You know dot Stacy Koronski says I like the guides good good Do you think there's anything that you would you would add particularly that I missed out because It's kind of it's kind of a new I mean in the in the relative terms of understanding autumn. It's kind of a new concept. So Most most of what I suggested were things I did but it should have really helped me I Haven't tried police park before I may have done. It's not like the the Like the Aldi kind of low-cost GP and the during anything up Yeah, so so I talked about likes fine. Yeah, I used to talk to bow I used to talk to bow The different types of autistic camouflage that people can do Which I thought was really interesting Because we talk a lot about masking, but there's actually like different kind of Separate parts of what like autistic camouflage in and masking is like a part of that It's things like compensation assimilation Things like that which I thought is really interesting Realist gts. So did you mention using emotion wheels? I think motion wheels can be really good like Like identifying what emotion you're in The thing is with creating Instagram posts is that there is usually quite a like a heavy word limit Because I could just write a whole Like post with like loads of detail in like font 12 But people just don't really want to read through loads of text. So it's kind of I Guess like Having having to cut down on the word limit, which I'm not too keen on but I understand it It's not it's not everything like not everybody wants to kind of see an Instagram post and read like a whole blog post Which is it's not it's not really a place for Instagram. I don't think But then again, it stops me from rambling on about a subject for ages and ages and ages So thank you for the emojis Maya star. Are you doing today? I'm an assimilator. Yeah, me too It's not like a conscious thing for me like it's more of a I don't know No, no, I'm thinking of compensation. I think the assimilation part I think it's something that I used to do when I was younger not so much nowadays That's like copy and interests conforming to like social norms Performing in social situations or just avoiding them when you don't feel like you can communicate to a certain level Which is interesting, I think the compensation thing is much more like something that I do More about like mirroring body language and facial expressions vocal tonalities of the person that I'm speaking to and it's not necessarily like a Sort of like Just like thing that I do consciously. I'm not right, right I'm gonna analyze this person and then I'm gonna do it back to them I think it's just something that you know, it kind of Kind of happened, you know, it kind of happens just just unconsciously Whoever I talk to you can you can even see it like if you go through some of my podcasts Depending on who I'm speaking to it's not always But depending on who I'm speaking to I do sort of tend to like adopt somewhat of the way that they're speaking It's just for me kind of going through and looking at stuff like that. It's interesting Hi, bit. How are you doing? like in the The red neurodiversity Logo that you got there. Thank you for being a member Maya star says hey, hey all good here tough century days because of the heat and hay fever Relate It's not so much of an issue of me in terms of hay fever even though like I live very close to a field But the heat has definitely been a thing for me this this year It's hard as well because I like wearing like dressing gowns and like Udy's, you know, there's big kind of comfy Clothing items that you can get that are just just kind of you just Pop on your head pop on your body in Chile I can't really use them at the moment, which is kind of annoying So I have to just I find myself just like putting it on and then taking off when I get too hot and then put it back on and So it's a whole thing Hi turtle. How are you doing today? Rob Parton says hi. I'm a autistic public speaker. I've got a question. Have you ever considered confronting a Man challenging these issues of sensory overload instead of seeing it as some sort of a roadblock I'm not sure exactly. I know what you mean. I Think you're thinking possibly as like like for me going into a situation just avoiding places I Do do a lot to manage to be honest. It's You know, I I have a lot of sensory supports that I use If I'm going into a high high pressure kind of lots of sensory overloady kind of spaces Then I will take breaks and I'll sort of manage my energy beforehand It is a roadblock I would say especially if your mental health is not too great And you are feeling particularly sensitive in a certain day or a week You know, I but it doesn't stop me from doing things, you know, it's just just about kind of managing that sensory environment that I'm in I Have answers your question When we do it a lot possibly yeah Dot Stacy says do you like yoga for interoception? I Never thought of Yoga is like an interoceptive thing. I think it like for me it could be something more more related to like appropriate exception like Awareness of your body in space, you know, that can be quite a good kind of relaxing stim for some people I don't know if it would allow me to get in get more in touch with my like What'd you say? like feelings that I need to eat and drink but Maybe have you have you had in excess with that? Interested to know Have either said the be via Says, um, thank you so much from Lima Peru. Oh Peru. Hey, that's cool. I've always wanted to go to Peru My stars the same here. I still wear a fleece hoodie to sleep in. Yeah It's nice when I go to sleep because I keep the window open. It's nice and cold but as like morning croak encroaches in you know, I have to You know, I sometimes end up very very kind of overheated and stuff in the mornings Which is not too hard because I hate being cold in the mornings. So I Don't know kind of works Derry short says hi misson is 12 and autistic when in a meltdown. He's saying some mean things to me It's only because he's distressed. But does anyone in here relate? I think I think yeah, some some people when they're having a meltdown It's a very kind of emotionally intense experience and sometimes we can Feel feel very much like we need to express that so I probably say that would be you know the case for a lot of people Maya star says People seem to think that sensory issues can be overcame but by pushing yourself into full-blown BDSD Speaking from experience. It doesn't work an autistic brain Yeah, and that's the thing because like the the difference for like autistic brains is that we do tend to Struggle with habituation which is basically like Tuning out the sensory things in our environment so, you know, it's You can sort of do it to a certain point But you know, it's even even like when like teachers and parents are saying like oh, we need to Make sure that they're not using sensory sports and they can kind of deal with life as it comes It's not really the case. You can wear sensory supports in adulthood as well And there's nothing wrong with we're doing so, you know We can't necessarily just tune out all of these sensory things that that can bother a lot of people so totally totally No, it's just unnecessary in a lot of cases and it doesn't produce any kind of issues It does produce issues. Sorry Coffee guy says hi from Scotland. Hello. I'm red strikes a hello from New York Very cool. I guess the one by spa not fully sure interesting Are you flexible? I? Am actually I am but any because of taekwondo I Can I can like put my put my feet together and touch my my head to my What do you say? I can't remember the island some to cool name for that bone my shins Again, I can put my hands flat on the floor. So it's I've got I've got a good hamstring flexibility That's true looking after our health is important totally so doc doc Stacy was us telling us about kind of like interception and yoga and They say Like recognizing how feelings show up if one's body is in a physical sense if one struggles with likes five are right Okay, so like the elixir find me your aspect of it. I Think sometimes, you know having space to think can be helpful for anyone. I wouldn't say that it's necessarily like Just applicable for autistic people I think you know some you know just having a space where you can be a little bit more mindful of you and your body and have a bit of like time We are focusing somewhat on doing a certain movement, but also You know, you do have that like mindful mindfulness aspect of it. Yeah You're always too hot. Oh, thank you very much Joshu G. Williams and says loving the live stream. Have you ever tried meditation before I used to be really into meditation for a long time and The reason why is because around that time when I was at university. I did come across a lot of like literature around Meditation and like the actual Like impacts that it can have on your brain in a positive way Like it can be really like it can make some actual physical changes to your brain when you do it It's all it's all about Like quieting down this thing that that psychologists call like the default mode network It's where where your brains just kind of in limbo and you're kind of thinking about lots of different things, but not necessarily Focusing yourself on a specific thing And it can be quite stressful and it's like having like a busy brain, you know a Meditation can be really important in That but also being able to refocus yourself on something It's not just helpful for productivity, but also if you are struggling with a particular emotion or difficult situation Actually refocusing on Something something else and having the ability to do that and quite in quite new brain down is really really important It's really interesting. You should look at others like that. I've seen some stuff around Like they're doing brain scans on like mugs and stuff who are like practice meditation daily It's really really cool My star says also even if you manage a particular stimulus one day a change in weather your hormones or routine can amplify your sensory issues a hundred percent a hundred percent and so it's so it's important to kind of have these bright blanket ways of Approaching dealing with sensory issues and anxiety But yes, you know we're adults and life does is not always the same You're not always feeling the same and so you've got to adapt sometimes and You know, it's important to have that that kind of flexibility. I suppose as well Lucy Penel says saw you in Manchester last year and listened to your talk and 23 but still learning about autism every day Appreciate you and what you do. Thank you very much, Lucy. It's it's nice that you you connected in me with me from that Was that the the autism show Because I have an invite to that this year and I Do kind of want to go but at the same time they're not like paying for accommodation and travel and it's you know it I Feel like I did a good speech I did a good talk and I feel like it should somewhat be paid for it. So it's um, I Don't know and kind of as I'm kind of growing my platform stuff. I think I'm becoming a bit more like Picky with what I do. I'm not just gonna spend money to go and speak and work It's doesn't really make much sense to me Joshua G says I don't think it would be beneficial for me as I have ADHD as well. I Would question that, you know, perhaps Having the ability or training yourself or trying out on the long period of time. Perhaps it will be harder. I Think you could still get a lot of benefits from it I think the longest that I've ever meditated for is two hours I'm pretty good at it. Like I've Yeah That's cool My channel says I found beat saber to be great for stimming and cardio. I can imagine definitely Hi, Cart Lily. How you doing? I'm from New Mexico USA many autistic people are also hyper mobile very true that can be a Concern particularly if you're wanting to get into Exercise and sport and stuff. I heard from a lot of people that when a lot of hyper mobile individuals they kind of get into Kind of areas of sport which require a lot of flexibility They kind of they have like a lot of advantages sort of early on in life, but when it comes to You know post kind of 25 30 35 40, you know that kind of hyper mobility can become an issue if you don't tackle it Building mobility is is is always also really good At least penciled. Yeah, it was you did so well. Literally the whole room came to listen. Yeah My star says I make meditation music to help my sensory issues meditation is part of my central routine That's cool. I hope you found that have you like Have you What's a word? How long have you meditated before like do you do it for like 30 minutes 15 an hour? I don't know I'd love to know two hours Yeah, um, I guess just just practice probably Good to be pick a totally a Meme generator says do you think neurodiverse people naturally gravitate towards each other based on my experience of having ADHD and Having lots of friends of Watson. I feel like we make great allies generally. I think I think we all have kind of an inherent understanding of like how different people can be and how Different people express and and what kind of judgments that people can have of us So I think we tend to be a lot more less less judgy with people and sort of let Conversations or relationships kind of blossom over time and and sort of adjust over time rather than making those really hard Boundaries with people that we don't really feel Which I think is is really great and that can that can be applied to any kind of diversity I suppose but You know, I I've talked a lot about how For some reason ADHD and autistic people tend to get on really well Like I think there's just something about like the autistic communication of being blunt and direct and kind of bringing people back to a particular line of conversation and then the ADHD person's kind of branching off the Social conversation a bit more widely and sort of bringing new topics and Encouraging or finding and creating social opportunities You know, so I would agree with you on that. It's obviously not gonna generalize to everybody But just from my own personal experience. Yeah Jack the last day are you streaming video games yet? I don't want to miss that Not not at the moment. I'm trying to get into the habit of well, I'm trying to set up myself to Start doing streaming. I don't know if it's gonna be video games. It could be It's it's probably gonna start as more of like a video kind of commentary kind of thing. I think So I'm looking at different videos online about autism about mental health and kind of giving my My takes on them in my my thoughts my experiences So, yeah Cat Lily says my boyfriend has a HD and I have autism I think our socializing styles can be very more similar. You think What what ways would you say that they're similar? Rob Patton says I go to a local skate park and I get overwhelmed when it goes to crowded There's lots of people but I go in the morning when it's quite to help me slowly get used to the crowds That's that sounds like a good good decision in your part I could probably say the same about the gym, but Because of my schedule just being all over the place at the moment. It's it's very dependent on How much time I have or like when I have time? Yeah I'd like I'd like to say that I go on at a regular time every every day to kind of help my routine and stuff But it doesn't tend to pan out that way How long do I usually meditate for I haven't done it in a while, you know, and I should do I think it would be really helpful for me I love the guided meditations that you can find on YouTube, but I think one of the issues that I find with Stuff like that. So I've got a very particular like style of voice that calms me down and that I can relate to a bit more and It's it's hard to find like this that like a one one person whose voice kind of Works for me. So I've got it. I've got a test and find and find new ones and save them and I can't remember the last one I did. I think it was Meditation I did when my mom and dad passed away, which kind of helps me Process some of the emotions that I was feeling during the time Maya star says I actually teach energy healing and meditation courses So I spend a lot of time in meditative states. I started making meditation music this year I actually released it, but I use it for myself all day. That's really cool Maya would you would you be interested in sending me sending me what you made? Maybe I can Have a look at it and stuff. It would be cool, too If it's something that you feel that you can speak on maybe we could do like a podcast together or something on it That'd be cool Mickey dots Ms. God Joe says I am autistic and my best friend thinks she has ADHD And we have the best relationship and most of them conversations tends to be that way lots of them like diving into aspects of humanity and strange special interest areas and quirky things and random philosophical questions that tends to be the The way that there's there's relationships care for me. I love it. It's great Thought some DBT therapy, you know what I've actually at the moment I'm trying to Like manage the work that I've got so I do produce a lot of content and I'm really wanting to have some time to like listen to audiobooks and to to research like new literature that's come out But it's it's been increasingly hard at the moment. So I I'm having a bit of a review of the work that I'm doing So I think, you know that that would be probably the first part of called kind of look into that stuff I think it's just because I just don't have very good Experiences with sort of traditional therapy, you know, I've been doing I've been in it since I was I don't know 14 probably therapy some kind of cancelling anything any talking thing And I it hasn't really produced much of a positive effects on me long-term. So it's You know It's something that I need to look into a bit more about DBT because I've heard a lot of people actually Speaking on it. I might have a quick kind of I Let's say behavioral therapy DBT is the type of talking therapy It's based on the cognitive behavioral therapy, but it's specifically adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely The MO DBT is to help you understand accept your difficult feelings lend skills to manage them. I Think maybe possibly if you if you do kind of feel like if you're in that category I wouldn't be able to talk in any kind of capacity on that But if it includes like a baseline understanding of autism and the way that we process and understand emotions, then that would be good I Think ideally it would just be some kind of psychotherapy, which is designed and informed by autistic lived experience, which It's gonna be hard to find we need more autistic ADHD therapists who Actually like understand understand some of the concepts that are not Fully embedded within the scientific literature or even even if they are like just being aware of that because a lot of Therapists and stuff then they're not they're not really they're not really up there In terms of understanding these kind of things and how it can impact the success of therapy You know, it's it's different. It's not it's not, you know It's different for us for resortes and ADHD is My stuff says mostly to mass background noise. Yep. I feel that really helps my brain settle down I know what you mean. Some voices work and some don't mm-hmm, I Bet I've been asked quite a few times on these lives to start like a ASMR channel Maybe maybe maybe we could collaborate I could do some Relax relaxing mindfulness meditation videos of the music Maybe Just as hope you get exercising more next week Thomas for your mental health totally remember stay hydrated. Thank you very much for that Mr. Joshua Hydrated with a very healthy drink that I've got here that it seems to be just a staple part of my live streams Just not being able to pull together like a a flask of water or something before I go live I'm always rushing to like Get to my computer set everything up like at the lighting all set up and stuff Mickey her says that Nichols and dimes David Godin's excise on YouTube try it's good. I Will have a look at that Mine master, I appreciate the the offer I don't really want Advertisements on the live though. Thank you It's on my channel I would love to do a podcast sometimes but in a moment. I'm sailing too close to the wind with my sensory issues hard to go My content made relate totally Cat Lady says that like you said being more blunt relating to sharing a similar story that happened to us Just like in small talk talking about special interests Think that there's probably really good things about like the ADHD autism dynamic in friends and stuff I'm wondering like if there's any stats on like relationships like weather Because I know that some people have talked about how autistic people tend to find over autistic people to have relationships with but I Wonder what it is with like autism and ADHD I'm not sure. Oh Yeah, my music should be on whatever your music favorite music app is to What's that? What's the link? Are you able to post it in there YouTube? Austin says a DB DB T is geared more towards BPD in general, but seems to be seems to apply to anyone with emotional processing issues Interesting might have to check that out Definitely would love to collaborate with your music to your meditations cool Do you have my email? I'll put my email in the chat He's having an email is probably the best way to contact me Instagram DMs can get a bit crazy Realist Katie says do you think that the experience of autism changes with age? Um, I think it can do I think emotional Under understanding of emotional and social things can can be can change as you go older I think most of it is just the way that you understand and relate to being autistic like the the things that you experience and Yeah, the way they I think it's the same like even with things like mental health Like as I've got older like the way that I relate to them the way that I manage them has changed And I think you could say the same for like the more negative flight autistic traits that I have definitely You welcome Maya I want to kind of in meditation with your voice. Yeah The Sadie Raccoon and Scott a G says hi may I ask about music as a way to stem? I lately have realized that I am enjoying music with since Synthesizers quite a lot. Yeah, I'm all to you now talked about that I'm a fair bit like audio visuals synthesizers I Think yeah, I I would be open to trying something like that I think maybe if I have an app for it when I'm having a difficult time Like melty shut down you kind of experience then I might check that out I mostly use music as like a background to my life though like It's kind of like producing your own like movie kind of scenario It helps me understand and express my emotions when I listen to music which is really good Maya star says I'm 50 this year and I have changed a lot except my artistic traits more etc That is that that is the way to go. Yeah Kali says you learn more coping skills as you get older. I think so too and also also Highlighting and embracing the positive things that you have the positive traits and The you have an autistic person is also really really great And actually like crafting things crafting aspects of your life around the things that you're good at definitely Somatic therapies can be better than talk therapy. What is somatic? I Just you ask do you think the dbt therapy would be helpful for RSD and ADHD? Um, as I said, I don't have too much knowledge or insight into dbt or light specific mainstream talking therapies May maybe if you if you have sort of a different sort of emotional processing kind of style as as Austin says That could that could possibly be the case I guess Brothers get it says I've actually had a very positive experience with craniosacral therapy Right, I'm gonna have to Google again brain of craniosacral therapy Is gently hands-on technique that uses light touch to examine membranes and movements of fluids around the central nervous system Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity um it kind of I It sounds like massage therapy to me, which I also really like for proprioception and stuff, but I Don't know I'd have to look into that Apparently the the evidence isn't isn't too good for that, but if you've had positive results for it, definitely Imagine Brothers get it says our relationship can be really bad if both you don't know you're autistic and can't support each other Yeah, you need to know yourself, especially in those relationships totally Just you says just found this article called why every person with ADHD is an autistic friend from medium Go check out that if you're interested medium.com artfully autistic I'm gonna check I'm gonna save that for there Media artfully that's cool So they actually have like a page and stuff They've got an article called if you've met one neurotypical person you've met one neurotypical person That's so funny. I Love that. I love those kind of like Flipping the scraped kind of things. It just makes me It makes me happy inside, you know Rich concerts. Hey, Tom's just one say I lived in Leeds and would love to do a meet-up and connect Yeah, I need to take a check out the results of that And these chickens see perhaps if if people are down for it But we could definitely organize something like that. I don't know what people would want to do Do you have any like suggestions of what we could go for? Oh Relish guys Relish get asked what's your favorite movie? I've got a lot of favorites. I really love the eyeing giant That's that's one of the ones that I look really love. I relate a lot a lot to him. So it's it's nice for me Scribblebyte says hello fam as the kids say speaking of music. Have you heard of chiptunes for autism? No Is that another thing I'm gonna have to Google? Probably Is that like a what is chiptunes? I have no idea. Is it just like Different is it something that you've made You tell me about it I let Nairie says hi. I'm new here. I don't I Don't know the topic, but do you know any information about HSP and autism? I think HSP is one part of autism, but many people believe it's totally different thing. What do you know? Um, my understanding of HSP. It's a highly highly sensitive person which I think it kind of falls under the I'm if I'm to Do you mean like Hennock Show lame purr purr or it you mean Highly sensitive person because I Think it's it's very much like a a personality trait from from what I gather from what I've looked at before and I'm not too sure that it necessary like I think it can be helpful for when people You know it needs some way to understand themselves. I don't know if it's necessarily I Don't know not really sure to be honest My status is I read the HSP book before I got my diagnosis and it definitely could relate to it Well, I guess it does kind of have crossovers with with autism because we we are sensitive to a lot of things And our courses all the responses what higher Tend to have anxiety disorders mental disorders difficult aspects to our lives negative experiences, so I guess so that could be Definitely something Apparently it's not associated with autism I'd have to look into that a lot more to be honest It's another thing that I need to check into anyone knows a lot about it. Just please let me know If you could magically stay at one age forever, how old would you choose to be? probably probably 25 Well, my brains fully develops, you know, maybe Repartence as I had hit no therapy one time. It really helped my mental health Cool. I've had some good things about that. I think any kind of like distinct like sort of Different kind of therapy can sometimes be helpful because the traditional ones just from my experience and talking to people. They're just not They just haven't been very helpful for a lot of the people I've spoken to And Nikki Danx says hey, I'm what is to love your content. Thank you so much. I appreciate that EMDR was very helpful for getting through childhood bullying blockage God you guys are giving me so many things to Research Not not saying it's a bad thing, but I'm typing away on this thing EMDR I movement desensitization and reprocessing a comprehensive psychotherapy that helps you process and recover from past experiences That are affecting your mental health and well-being It involves side-to-side eye movements combined with talk therapy in specific structured format. Oh Is it is it a well-documented Like research-backed method. That's what I'm interested in It seems like there's a lot of it's it's been apparently Developed in the 1980s for PTSD related things Encourages the patient focus briefly on the traumatic memory while it simultaneously experiences bilateral stimulation Hmm.  Well, I used to think I was Yeah, I don't know if it I think everything is made up like You know everything that we we know is it's made up by somebody Whether it's applicable in a certain setting or not is I Guess I think it can be helpful for for some people to kind of understand and be taken seriously I think that's another another thing like some people can I think it's good to have Something to kind of fall back on when you're in a tricky situation You know, if you if you're struggling and you need some support then perhaps having some kind of Official or not on unofficial kind of thing to point to can can sometimes be helpful Young giant is brilliant. Totally. It's great. I Didn't like that in therapy. I did it. I felt so distracted Yeah, I kind of imagine that as well like but I am very open to trying different things I Kind of feel like I have a Somewhat of a grasp on my own mental health. I mean I do compared to when I was younger So I'd be open to trying different things I think it's just like trying to Fit time in to do it and finding somewhere and getting the money together to pay for it I think there's a lot of things a lot of factors Some sometimes with therapy it can take more out of me to actually go to the therapy and do it then the benefits of that long-term so You know Sally in this case is hello Thomas. Hello. Welcome to the stream I'm gonna stay on for another 10 minutes usually finish around half six, but I did start a little bit late So we'll go for another 10 minutes It's music made for buying for autistic people. Oh, this is the their chiptunes It's run by an ND gentleman who makes compilation of different albums on different ND themes For example music for people who get sensory overload and vice versa Hmm Pat Lee says our HSP is unofficial. My sister says she is because she has sensory issues, but It's not autistic Yeah, I I don't know Thank you for the email Maya. I'll try and get to that Yes, it's always good to have tools medications expensive and for me acting lessons are very helpful acting lessons What for like for like just just your own personal enjoyment and especially interests like engagement or Acting in terms of masking maybe I Don't know. I would I would I would probably agree more of the former The latter is probably not going to be good long-term Resgate says but the HS HSP concepts harmful when you're actually autistic happens to women especially Yeah, I know I know that the misdiagnosis can be A quite a big issue I think For a lot of people especially autistic women people from different minority groups it's um Yeah Yeah, I think anything that kind of distracts you from the main like difference that you have which in a lot of cases is autism You know you think about things like BPD and bipolar and I guess things related to HSB could be like a diversion from Understanding someone as being autistic So I can see why that can be Possibly harmful to people, but I Imagine that you know for some people who aren't autistic Perhaps having an understanding of themselves and kind of this understanding of this like characterization of who Of what this person is like that might might be Interesting like it might be might be of help to them to understanding The ways that they can improve and the ways that they can deal with the negative experiences that they've had and the faults and Emotions etc. So Yeah, I mean, obviously obviously if you're autistic is it's good not to just be slapped on with these labels My instast is I was diagnosed misdiagnosed here with bipolar took a long time before is assessed But I didn't get my diagnosis until I was 40. Yeah The old age odd HD flourishing Matia who came onto my podcast was talking about their Misdiagnosis of bipolar and I think it's I think it's a lot to do with this kind of sick They were talking about this idea of cyclical energy Which is basically like they go through periods of high energy They go through periods of low energy and I think some people can You know, if you if you apply for example, if you're thinking about autistic burnout Like you could imagine that with the autistic burnout roller coaster cycle that it could come across as Somewhat having highs and lows in that sense Might be a long period of burnout that you experience which maybe characterizes more of a depressive state Which it kind of shares a lot of traits and features with that and then I guess if you were to Look at like the highs where we have lots of energy and we're hyper focused and we've got special interests and we feel motivated You know, it could come across as that way. I suppose so You know So it's not good people need to be especially psychologist said mental health and medical people need to be much more aware of autism and how to reference people how to signpost people to good resources around it and also to get them actually put down for having some kind of an autism assessment or something like that rather than trying to find these these crazy Different ways of characterizing them like as bipolar and stuff and BPD Kat least as I think I definitely think HSP is related to autism some people mistake one for the other because the overlap Yeah, I'd be interested in learning a bit more about that. I think probably if you know, I could probably find something from Megan Neff my One of one of my role models on Instagram divergent neurodivergent insights I'm definitely someone to follow if you're interested in crossovers and misdiagnosis and lots of other stuff They've actually started a podcast recently, which I've been part of They have that they have these like crossover diagrams, which I think are really helpful for a lot of people She's a she's a really great resource if you haven't checked her out already She talks about like Alex fine here and interception and and sleep Lots of stuff where we had a great podcast talking all about Alexa fine me and on the on their podcast So Look out for that. She's probably gonna post some some reels about it at some point I don't say see Stacy says from my personal experience. HSP is sensitive extra exception. Um, I Kind of have an idea of what extra exception might be I'm just gonna have another Google Oh my god extra exception so Refers to implicit knowledge we have in our body in relation to space extra exceptions perception of our external sensory worlds Okay Makes sense. So interception internal extra exception external Yeah, so I would agree with you Yeah, if you're if you're sensitive to the external world makes sense that you would be an H HSP kind of related person Mine started that was very much for me regularly burning out and it would cycle every few weeks bad times Kali says I'm diagnosed with bipolar and autism and I think both are correct, but I'm questioning the bipolar bit Yeah, I can imagine that I think I think it just a lot of medical professionals did they kind of lump us into the lump women into these kind of more BPD bipolar things which is not not very helpful It could very much be like that I I know that there's lots of different types of bipolar. So it's not as easy as saying I You are or not because you you fit into this certain kind of style that you have like things like psychophimia and Type was like type one type two Bipolar so there's lots of different differences Do you find do you find that that's helpful like do you take any meds for it because it might be in that like if you if you Do take meds and they do help and they're going to maybe it might be Somewhat helpful, but I know that a lot of them are mood stabilizers, which I think would would help in general for Well stabilizing your emotion is to some degree. Nope. You can't have both hmm Vicky Vicky zero nine Force as I'm newly late diagnosed autistic diagnosed 11 years into fighting for my son to be assessed in fact any UK based Resource recommendations. I'm no face northeast based and new to my diagnosis. I Definitely follow as a lot of people from the actually autistic community and Read about their lived experience. You can you can find some Pathways in support with Autism organizations, but I'd be very wary about which ones you go to Because they get they can suggest some things that autistic people are not not too keen on being used so Definitely follow a lot of autistic people if you want to learn about the autistic experience what helps what doesn't help Some of the experiences that we have and how we deal with that with those and process those So, you know It's good to have that lived experience aspect of it You get might you get your support and insight from me. Oh my god. I Appreciate that but It's I'm kind of in a state this week and my self-esteem is very low So it's very hard for me to take compliments this week. Oh, thank you Grace says I just joining my eight-year-olds SH's mainly when he gets hurt or drops something accidentally would love your insight on this It's something that I did when I was a teen and it can It usually happened when I was having a meltdown. I think having some level of Insight into different strategies that just Work overall and don't require a lot of effort when when you're in those highly emotional states can be helpful Finding things that work for the individual trying different things managing sensory experiences managing and Incorporating and encouraging stimming and different stimming aspects to to cope with the stress and Having more of an approach of right. Okay Not just get rid of this but actually replace it with something, you know for me Taekwondo is really helpful You know, I I could beat up a bag You know, I could just get all my energy and my aggression out on on a heavy bag And that would just be that really regulating and great for me And I'd be able to take take out that kind of anger and frustration on something else Maybe martial art or something, but it very much depends on the individual and that I'd hesitate to offer any concrete advice around that because it is such a You know variable thing person to person I Think woman my stuff says I think women present is bipolar because they mask more I Think that's what creates the difference in presentation compared to man How would the how would that be the case? Interesting. I'm not I'm not Disregarding your your idea. I just I'm just interested Catalyze says I take lithium and it does help me. I Have short-term mood swings within longer mood swings. I feel moods very intensely which I have read can be I've waited for the end of it. Oh I got it. It always happens that I go on for an hour and then like As soon as it comes up to like the the hour mark like I get like an influx of people and It makes me want to not stop, but I probably should I am going to think about some Like Doing some like longer like live streams because I really enjoy doing these things and it's so lovely to interact with you all and And chat and talk about different aspects of autism I'm very honored that you just want to come Listen to me to ramble and answer questions and stuff it it doesn't mean a lot to me I'll compete you again When you're feeling better so you can take it to heart.

I struggle with the maintaining work and money and finances and stuff. So I am very much understanding about that My says, uh, I mean women present with burnout because men because they tend to mass socially more Yeah, that that's that's always going to be an extra aspect to I suppose Well, um guys I will Is is is doing a Longest stream something that you would want like I'm just interested at the end because I am wanting to to go over to youtube and and do these Not not these streams. I'm gonna keep these as both in the instagram and youtube thing We're just kind of chat for an hour or so But I am also wanting to possibly start doing some streaming like possibly for I don't know How long how long would I do it for?

Okay I just don't want to come across to like the the mainstream media or the world is like I'm bashing on on their asypicals um, because I don't like bashing on anyone really unless they are particularly deplorable human beings or groups, but um Could be funny.

Hey Bolo Buddies, it is time for this is my Bolo. Hey Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. All right, you guys, these videos are coming from my featured members, members of my Bolo Buddies YouTube channel. So this is a bonus video and it's super awesome because you get to hear from them directly. They're going to show you their Bolo. They're going to tell you where they got it, what they paid for it and what it sold for. And if you like this format, I have two other videos that are just like this with some of the same people, but also different people. So go check that out. Some big money Bolo is coming your way. I think you guys are really going to like this style of video. Let me know what you think in the comments and I am going to start with my Bolo. So here we go. Hey Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. All right, you guys, I'm going to start this out with this is my Bolo. And I wasn't planning on doing this tonight, so I didn't even get ready. So I apologize for that. But this is just too cool. I got this out of a Dibble Box from Donatella Bottolino. Do you see that Barbie tag right there, the black and white one? That is what you're looking for. Those are the items that are going to bring big money. All right. So this came out of a Dibble Box and I got these out of a mystery toy box from Auctions for You and their little Barbie sunglasses. So the same person added them to their cart. They got my combined shipping offer of $5 and they were all in for $69.30 and for the two items. But with tax and shipping that brought them up to $74.30. Hey everyone, Stuart with Franklin Hills Interest and this is my Bolo. It is this vintage Warner day and night mechanical brooch. And if you move the little leaf shown here, these pedals open and close. Very cool. I didn't know anything about it. Don't know a lot about jewelry, but found this in a box of things that I purchased really for next to nothing. So my cost in this is probably around a dollar and it sold for $400. So even with free shipping, insurance and signature required at delivery, this was one of the best items that I've sold in a while. So if you see these type of broaches when you're out, make sure you pick them up. They're definitely a Bolo. All right. I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody else has to show. Everyone, good luck with your hunting and let's keep finding those Bolo's. Hey, how you doing? I'm Danielle and I'm an eBay reseller and I have a YouTube channel called Your Tales and Dreams. I'd love for you to go over and check out my YouTube channel about reselling after you done watching this video. Of course, I am bringing you a picture of my Bolo right here and I'm going to show it to you in real life in just a second, but I wanted to tell you I picked this up for $3 and I sold it for 60. Right there's my Bolo guys. This is a Whiting and Davis Choker Cameo Locket. Look how gorgeous that cameo is when it shifts in the light. This was made in the 70s and this is made by Whiting and Davis. You can see their closure on the back of the choker gives you plenty of room to adjust. Their maker name is right there on the back and Whiting and Davis made all sorts of accessories. So anytime that you see Whiting and Davis, you will see this mesh. I have an example here of a wallet that I have. How does their signature is the mesh? Thanks Courtney. What's going on everybody? This is Scott, also known as Chiching King and I've got something really cool for you today. FFA jackets. If you have not been picking these up, you need to. They're blue. They're corduroy. They will often have the big patch on the back. These are going for $75 to $100 each. They have skyrocketed in price, but that's not even the real Bolo. This is also an FFA jacket and this one is what they call a sweetheart jacket. Before girls could join the FFA, a chapter could have a sweetheart and their jacket was white and these go for $300 to $500.  Keep your eyes open for them. I know they're out there. If you want more tips and things like that, visit me on Instagram or YouTube. It's Chiching King on both of them. Thank you again, Courtney, for letting me be a part of this. Keep your eyes open for FFA jackets. They are monster Bolo's. Thanks again. Bye. Hello everyone. Ciro here with Flippin' a Good. Today, my Bolo are these right here. These are Calvin Klein, not a brand that I usually pick up, but these right here are special. They were designed by Rap Simons, which is a fashion designer that has a big following base. He worked for Dior. Now, I think he's with Prada and he had a brief agreement with Calvin Klein where he did a few shoes. So, if you see him pick him up, they're going for big money. This one right here, so for $310 plus shipping, I got them for $50. And of course, I didn't know about this guy until I found these and researched about them. I found eight pairs, different styles, $50 each. And the first one, so for $420. The second one, so for $210. Now, this one is selling for $310. So, if you see him up there, pick him up. Even you shoes are going for $100 plus. The way to identify his shoes with Calvin Klein is this number right here. It starts with $205. I know it's hard to see it. So, I'm going to add it right here. So, if you see him out there, pick him up, they're great and they sell. So, all right guys. So, I have actually a video on my channel. If you want to see it, flipping it good. So, see you guys on the next one. Hey, Bolo Buddies. This is Christie and this is my Bolo. So, it's a very small container of L'Oreal air-dry it wave swept spray. Got this at my local Dirt Cheap. I paid less than $2 each. And I got a bunch of them. So, here's what I sold them for. Sold them in packs of five. I sold two sets for $59.99. I sold three sets for $67.99. And they're actually also going on Amazon for $2 for $55. Two, these little things right here for $55. Discontinued health and beauty, that's where it's at. And if you would like to see more discontinued or hard to find health and beauty, check out my channel, Money Making Mama. Thanks Quirk for doing this. Bye guys. Hey, it's Rhonda from Got Junkin' Our Trunk. And today, this is my Bolo. I'm coming to you from my junking garage as you can see. I've just come back from the bins. And I found one of these. This is a general electric brand. There's different brands. I'm a general electric brand lighted makeup mirror. It's from the 70s. And let's just see if it works. Yes, I found at the bin store for $2. Usually, I don't pay more than five for them. But I had a buyer to purchase this right away. As soon as I got it listed, I listed it at $49.99. And it sold for that price. And the buyer was all in at $66. Usually, I end up selling these pretty much within the weight. Making up, it's easy to do. Hi everybody. My name is Carol. And my channel name is Butterfly Hustles. And it's Butterfly Hustles on Instagram. So if you'd like to follow me, I do reseller content, mainly thrifting videos and hauls. But I wanted to show you, this is my Bolo. This is my Bolo. This is Peter Millar master's button down shirt. This is what you have to look for is this little emblem here. And that's the master series for Peter Millar. I bought this at Goodwill for $5. And I sold it for $100. So that was a good flip. And thank you so much, Courtney, for doing these. These are so fun. And you work so hard on your channel. Thank you for watching. Hey, Bolo buddies. Thanks for watching. Courtney, thank you for all you do. Just wanted to show you an item that my grandson and I picked up in LA at a Salvation Army this last week when I was on Time Away. And probably a lot of you might be familiar with this, but you're familiar with seeing them in sets. So this is a Matroshoka Russian artist signed hand-painted Babushka Baker Nesting Doll single. And there you have it. Now, my grandson, who is eight, found this on the shelf at the Salvation Army in Los Angeles. And he said, Nanny, you could sell this. And he was correct. This has got one, it's only one bottle. Was it part of a set? I have no clue. I could find no other ones this size. So I put it in the description because they make some of these specifically to hold liquor bottles. This is about the size that would hold a single-serve liquor bottle. So there is your artist's signature. If you can read that, you're one up on me. Just take really good pictures. I paid $.99, we paid $.99, no tax. Salvation Army and the Goodwill in LA do not have tax. Don't ask me why. I paid $.99 for this. It sold the day after I listed it. One doll. You got that? One doll for $37.80. And I believe it is going right back down to California. So there you go. Russian nesting dolls. Have a great day. Bye. Hey, Bolo buddies. My name is Crystal Nichols. Thank you guys so much for having me here. I am fairly new and I'm very excited to share my first Bolo for January. I kind of didn't think I was going to have one to share. So I was so super happy when this sell came through. It is a Draper James dress. So if you don't know, Draper James is Reese Witherspoon's clothing line. They are very nicely made and expensive. So Reese's Alvayu is great. I picked this up at Goodwill for $7.99 and it sold today for $51.99. This beautiful cocktail dress. So my YouTube channel is the Thrifty Nichols and my eBay store is the Nichols Time store. So I like puns just a little bit if you can't sell. So hop on over and subscribe. My YouTube channel is all about selling online and my local vintage booth in an antique small. So just something a little bit different. So I hope you guys subscribe and I'll do the same for you. Thanks so much. Bye. Hi everybody. My name is Sandra. The name of my YouTube channel is the Funky Pickle Thrifter. So I have been selling on eBay since 1998. I know a lot about vintage jewelry. I know a lot about selling jewelry. So if you're interested in that, check it out. But my bolo for today is actually kind of pop culture music items. If you don't know how to sell them, I can show you that too. One thing that I always tell people is try to buy music that you think is cool. Pericomo, maybe not so cool. Andy Williams, not cool. Beatles, cool. Zeppelin, cool. Rolling Stones, cool. Early hip hop and rap can also sell for some money. So that's sort of my bolo. And I just want to mention I did sell this empty Beatles ice cream box for $1,800 last week. That was pretty good. I paid $25 for it many, many years ago to Beatles Convention. Anyhow, I truly hope you will come to my YouTube channel and check it out. All right. Nice to meet you everybody. Have a great day. Hello, everyone. Hello, Bolo Buddies. Hello, Courtney. Here is Ali with Toledo Antique. And today I want to show you guys our bolo. Our bolo is very unusual. It's a set of four mugs that we forget to list together with the whole set. The whole set sold for $99. And when we found the mugs, we listed them for $29.99 and ended up selling for $164.50. Those are the mugs. Those are called Arabia. Those are mugs from Finland. And I'll show you guys the marking here. So this is an incredible bolo. Four mugs for $164.50. Be on a lookout for that. And don't forget to like and subscribe to Toledo Antique here on YouTube and Instagram and Facebook. I hope to see you guys soon, guys. Thank you. Hi, my name is Tracy. I'm one half of Jack's Treasures on YouTube and on TikTok. And this, or these, are my bolos. Rats. Yes, rats. What is special about these rats is they are Ikea. And I have found that a lot of Ikea plush, not all of them, but a lot of Ikea plush sell really well. These rats, which I actually have a set of four, I will be listing on eBay momentarily for $130 for the set. They tend to go for about $30 each. So I'm, you know, I'm asking a little bit more just for the fact that they're all lauded together. They'll go on sale, probably sell right at the sale price. Anyway, rats, look for them. Jack's Treasures. See you around. Bye. Hey, Bolo Buddies. My name is Angie from Flip and Palates, Liquidation and Auction Cells. My husband and I flip palates for profit. We have an eBay store and we also sell live on our Facebook group page. I wanted to share with you this Bolo wet and wild lip balm stain. We got over 4,000 of these on a palette. The cost of goods was two cents a piece. When I seen them, my first thought was they're wet and wild. I will never be able to sell these. So I put them on a Facebook group page for a dollar a piece and within 24 hours I sold 600 of them. So I decided to research a little better and come to find out they're highly sought after and they're ranging in price from $10 to $28 a piece. So I put them in my eBay store. I only put a few in an hour of time because I find out that when people find these, they buy all you have so I can spread out my profits. I have found these at a thrift store for 25 cents a piece and add them to my collection. Two of the most sought after colors are Rico Mave and Truffle in Paradise. I hope this helps. Have a great day. Hey, Bolo Buddies. Thanks for having me. It's Tracy from 1987 Ventures and my Bolo that I want to share with you is this pair of 1970s vintage bright red Pro Ked high top sneakers. These were in great condition. They were still in the original box and I found these in a pile of stuff at an estate sale on the last day of a four day estate sale in literally the very last hour.  They were wrapping up. We were the last people there and I found these and picked these up for $3. They sold on a best offer of $115 plus shipping. So I'm hoping that this person is proud of his new pair of kicks, even though they're very old and I hope you enjoy the Bolo I shared with you. Everybody done a telebottle. Lino Courtney, big shout out to you girl. Thank you so much for doing these and giving us shout outs. Okay. So I go live on YouTube almost every day of the week. Sometimes twice a day. I sell to the collector. I sell to the consumer. I sell everything from crayons to crystal. I buy pallets. I buy storage units. I buy estate sales. I got a call from one of my viewers who was in distress that she was leaving for New York the next day, had two storage units. She was an eBay seller. She said, please come help me and I'll give you some merchandise that you can auction off on your YouTube channel. I went over there. I was able to combine both those storage units into one, helped her an entire day. I did walk away with some treasures. This is one of the treasures that I got. It is a lemon press. You probably remember seeing these at the fair and it sold on eBay for $150. Pay it forward guys. Sometimes it is so worth it. Have a great day. Thanks for watching. Hi, YouTubers, resellers and drifters. My name is Carrie. My channel here on YouTube is Be Carried Away. This is my Bolo. This is a wooden box. It's made of olive wood and the little tiny pieces, the decorative pieces are porcupine quills from a porcupine. This is a Bolo. Now mine is small and I only sold it for $45.99 but it did go to the UK so the buyer was all in for $80. I underpriced it a little bit from another one that was very similar just because there were two and I wanted to get mine sold. There's another one listed for $60. On another day I might have listed it for $60. The thing about these is some of these can be in the thousands and thousands of dollars. Some of them are detailed, intricate ones and some that come from particular areas of the world. If you have, if you're able to authenticate where it's from, what region, etc, etc. Some of them go for thousands. If you see anything wood with these little porcupine quills, pick it up. Hi my name is Terri. I go by the name Michael Recycle on my YouTube channel and in my eBay store. Today my Bolo that I'm going to show you is a vintage Magna Light Roaster Pan. This one that I sold was really big and I purchased it for $12 and I sold it for $224. Pretty quickly it just took a couple of months. I just picked another one up at an estate sale, not as big but this size is really popular. I think it's an eight quart and so this is it. I've never seen one in this good a condition. It actually has a trivet in it as well. I've never sold one with a trivet and so this size right now in not nearly as good a condition is selling between $175 and $200. So I'll probably list this for $199 and hopefully it won't take that long to sell. So keep your eyes out for these. I usually find them pretty often and they sell well and they are easy to ship. Hi my name is Rebel and I'm the Rebel reseller and today I want to share one of my plush sales for this past month. One that Courtney hasn't already featured in the member shares that she puts out for a lot of us. The item I'm going to share with you I have forgotten where I got it from or even how much I paid for it but more than likely I picked it up at a thrift store or an estate sale because it was a recent find and I probably would have paid no more than $3 for it but the item that I'm featuring is this Martian plush. It was large 25 inches. I pick up all things that are aliens for some reason they do really well for me. This one was from Green Impact Merchandise and I sold it for $64.35. Hi everyone it's Tea Auctions for You. Thank you Courtney for always doing this. For those of you that don't know I am Tea Auctions for You. I do auctions on my channel but I also am a reseller and sell on eBay Poshmark and McCarrie and I do daily auctions with my friend Donatello Badalino. We have selling events where we bring the stuff to you so you don't have to leave the home and source so be sure to follow us both. All right let's see what I sold. I picked up this awesome lot of diecast in a toy store that I bought and I had no idea what I had here. I honestly almost put this in a toy box but something just caught my eye with it and I said this just looks too special. Never heard of Ground Pounder before. I know what a Ford Mustang is but we put this out there for $1100. Somebody actually had sold one I think on a bid for about $800 and change and somebody else had one listed a lot higher. I want to say probably $15 to $1900. I don't remember exactly so we kind of put it out there for $1100 and within 24 hours I had an offer which I took a best offer on this of $950 plus a shipping cost of $16.95 and he happened to only be in the next state so that worked out really well. He was very happy. I got positive feedback from him but if you guys are ever out looking for this is called Ground Pounder. It's a GMP Fox body and this one was a 1989 Ford Mustang 118th scale diecast. Diecast sells really well guys if you are out looking and sourcing always pick up diecast. It really does sell well. Alright thanks so much for watching and we'll see you on the next auction. Hello everybody, Ciro with Flipping a Gut here. My bolo today is toys.  I just buy them I buy the whole top usually I ask how much you want and I give them an offer sometimes. So I got to this jar sale late I think they were already like putting stuff inside their house and there was this big top full of Disney characters. So I asked them how much you want for the top they said $10. I brought it home and I found these five right here. These are Disney's from Aristocats movie and they sold for $100 plus shipping. The whole top cost me $10 and that's what I like to do. If you go to my store I have lots of figures it can be marble Disney whatever but I like to get the tops full of toys and then I love them up by movies and like these five these five sold for $100. That was amazing. Hey bolo buddies thanks for watching. I'm gonna tell you where they got it what they paid for it and what it sold for. Let's get started. Be sure to check out the description of the video, like, comment, share and subscribe. Thanks for watching.


from San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley. It's theCUBE, covering Big Data SV 2016. Now your host, John Furrier and George Gilbert. Okay, welcome back. When we are here live in Silicon Valley for theCUBE Silicon Angles Flagship Program, we go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, my co-host, George Gilbert, Big Data Analyst at wikibond.com. Our next guest is Tendu Yogurtutu. Yogurtutu, how do you say your last name? Yogurtutu. Okay, I got this close. GM with Big Data with SyncSore. Welcome back to theCUBE. SyncSore has been a long time guest. One of those companies we love to cover because your value proposition is right in the center of all the action around mainframes. And Dave and I always love to talk about because we're all from the old mainframe, not mainframe guys. We know, we remember those days and still powering a lot of the big enterprises. So I got to ask you, what's your take on the show here? One of the themes that came up last night on CrowdChat is why is enterprise data warehousing failing? So, you know, got some conversation, but you're seeing a transformation. What do you guys see? Thank you for having me. It's great to be here. Yes, we are seeing the transformation of the next generation data warehouse and the evolution of the data warehouse architecture. And as part of that, mainframes are a big part of this data warehouse architecture because still 70% of data is on the mainframes, world's data, 70% of world's data. This is a large amount of data. So when we talk about big data architecture and making big data and enterprise data useful for the business and having advanced analytics, not just gaining operational efficiencies with the new architecture and also having new products, new services available to the customers of those organizations, this data is untapped and making that part of this next generation data warehouse architecture is a big part of the initiatives and we play a very strong role in this bridging the gap between mainframes and the big data platforms because we have product offerings spanning across platforms and we are very focused on accessing and integrating data, accessing and integrating in a secure way from mainframes to the big data platforms. One of the things, obviously the mainframe highlights kind of a dynamic in the marketplace among all customers, whether they have mainframes or not, but your customers who have mainframes, they already have a ton of data. They're data full, as we say in theCUBE. They have a ton of data to do it, but they spend a lot of time, as you mentioned, cleaning the data. How do you guys specifically solve that? Because that's a big hurdle that they wanna just put behind. They wanna clean fast and get onto other things. Yes, we see a few different trends and challenges. First of all, from the big data initiatives, everybody is really trying to either gain operational efficiency, business agility and make use of some of the data they weren't able to make use of before and enrich this data with some of the new data sources they might be actually adding to the data pipeline, or they are trying to provide new products and services to their customers. So when we talk about the mainframe data, it's really how you access this mainframe data in a secure way. And how you make that data preparation very easy for the data scientists. The data scientists are still spending close to 80% of their time in data preparation. And if you come to think of it, when we talk about the compute frameworks like Spark, MapReduce, Flink, versus the technology stack technologies, these should not be relevant to the data scientists. They should be just worried about how do I create my data pipeline? What are the new insights that I'm trying to get from this data? The simplification we bring in that data cleansing and data preparation is, one, we are bringing simple way to access and integrate all of the enterprise data, not just the legacy mainframe and the relational data sources and also the emerging data sources with streaming data sources, the messaging frameworks, new data sources. We also make this in a cross-platform secure way. And some of the new features, for example, we announced were we were simply the best in terms of accessing all of the mainframe data and having this available on Hadoop and Spark. We now also make Spark and Hadoop understand this data in its original format. You do not have to change the original record format, which is very important for highly regulated industries like financial services, banking, and insurance and healthcare because you wanna be able to do the data sanitization and data cleansing and yet bring that mainframe data in its original format for audit and compliance reasons. Okay, so this is the product, I think where you were telling us earlier that you can move the processing, you can move the data from the mainframe, do processing at scale and at cost that's not possible or even is easy on the mainframe, do it on a distributed platform like Hadoop. It preserves its original sort of way of being encoded, send it back. But then there's also this new way of creating a data fabric that we were talking about earlier where it used to be sort of point to point from the transactional systems to the data warehouse. And now we've basically got this richer fabric and your tools sitting on some technologies perhaps like Spark and Kafka, tell us what that world looks like and how it was different from... We see a greater interest in terms of the concept of a data bus because some organizations call it data as a service, some organizations call it Hadoop as a service, but ultimately really an easy way of publishing data and making data available for both the internal clients of the organizations and external clients of the organizations. So Kafka is in the center of this and we see a lot of other partners of us including Hadoop vendors like Cloud, RMR, Power and Hortonworks as well as Databricks and Confluent are really focused on creating that data bus and servicing. So we play very strong there because phase one project for these organizations, how do I create this enterprise data lake or enterprise data hub? That is usually the phase one project because for advanced analytics or predictive analytics or when you make a change in your mortgage application you wanna be able to see that change on your mobile phone under five minutes. Likewise, when you make a change in your healthcare coverage or telecom services, you wanna be able to see that under five minutes on your phone. These things really require easy access to that enterprise data hub. What we have, we have a tool called Data Funnel. This basically simplifies in a one click and reduces the time for creating the enterprise data hub significantly and our customers are using this to migrate and make, I would not say migrate, access data from the database tables like DB2, for example. Thousands of tables populating and automatically mapping metadata whether that metadata is Hive tables or Parquet files or whatever the format is going to be in the distributed platform. So this really simplifies the time to create the enterprise data hub. It sounds actually really interesting when I'm hearing what you're saying. The first sort of step was create this data lake. Let's put data in there and start getting our feet wet and learning new analysis patterns. But if I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying now radiating out of that is a new sort of data backbone that's much lower latency that gets data out of the analytic systems, perhaps back into the operational systems or into new systems at a speed that we didn't do before so that we can now make decisions or do analysis and make decisions very quickly. Yes, that's true. Basically operational intelligence and batch analytics are converging. Okay. And in that convergence, what we are basically seeing is that I'm analyzing security data. I'm analyzing telemetry data that's streamed and I wanna be able to react as fast as possible. And some of the interest in the emerging computer platforms is really driven by this, the use case, right? Many of our customers are basically saying that today operating under five minutes is enough for me. However, I wanna be prepared. I wanna future proof my applications because in a year it might be that I have to respond under a minute, even in sub seconds. When they talk about being future proofed, and you mentioned to time sort of brackets on either end, our customers saying they're looking at a speed that current technologies don't support. In other words, are they evaluating some things that are essentially research projects right now, very experimental? Or do they see a set of technologies that they can pick and choose from to serve those different latency needs? We published the Hadoop survey earlier this year in January. According to the results from that Hadoop survey, 70% of the respondents were actually evaluating Spark. And this is very consistent with our customer base as well. And the promise of Spark is driven by multiple use cases and multiple workloads, including predictive analytics and streaming analytics and batch analytics, all of these use cases being able to run on the same platform. And all of the Hadoop vendors are also supporting this. So we see as our customer base are heavy enterprise customers, they are in production already in Hadoop. So running Spark on top of their Hadoop cluster is one way they are looking for future-proofing their applications. And this is where we also bring value because we really abstract that and isolate the user while we are liberating all of the data from the enterprise, whether it's on the relational legacy data warehouse or it's on the mainframe side or it's coming from new web clients, we are also helping them insulate their applications because they don't really need to worry about what's the next compute framework that's going to be the fastest, the most reliable and low latency. They need to focus on the application layer. They need to focus on creating that data pipeline. Ted, I want to ask you about the state of sync sort. You guys have been great success with the mainframe. This concept of data funneling where you can bring stuff in very fast, new management, new ownership. What's the update on the market dynamics? Because now ingestions, everything, multiple data sources, how do you guys view what's the plan for sync sort going forward? Chair or the folks out there? Sure, our new investors clearly capital is very supportive of both organic and inorganic growth. So acquisitions are one of the areas for us. We plan to actually make one or two acquisitions this year. And companies with the products in the near adjacent markets are real valued for us. So that's one area in addition to organic growth. In terms of the organic growth, our investments are really, we have been very successful with a lot of organizations, insurance, financial services, banking and healthcare. Many of the verticals, very successful with helping our customers create the enterprise data hub, integrate, access all of the data integrated. And now carrying them to the next generation frameworks, those are the areas that we have been partnering with them. The next is for us, is really having streaming data sources as well as batch data sources through the single data pipeline. And this includes bringing telemetry data and security data to the advanced analytics as well. Okay, so it sounds like you're providing a platform that can handle today's needs, which were mostly batch, but the emerging ones which are streaming. And so you've got that sort of future-proofing that customers are looking for. Once they've got those types of data coming together, including stuff from the mainframe that they might want to enrich from public sources, what new things do you see them doing? Predictive analytics and machine learning is a big part of this, because ultimately there are different phases, right? Operational efficiency phase was the low-hanging fruit for many organizations. I want to understand what I can do faster and serve my clients faster and create that operational efficiency in a cost-effective, scalable way. Second was, what are new for go-to-market opportunities with transformative applications? What can I do by recognizing how my telco customers are interacting with the self-service help and how under a couple of minutes I react to their responses or self-service is the second one. And then the next phase is that, how do I use this historical data in addition to the streaming of data rapidly I'm collecting to actually predict and prevent some of the things? And this is already happening with banking, for example. It's really, with the fraud detection, a lot of predictive analysis happens. Advanced analytics using AI and advanced analytics using machine learning will be a very critical component of this moving forward. This is really interesting because now you're honing in on a specific industry use case and something that every vendor is trying to sort of solve the fraud detection, fraud prevention. How repeatable is it across your customers? Is this something they have to build from scratch because there's no templates that get them 50% of the way there, 70% of the way there? Actually, there's an opportunity here because if you look at the healthcare or telco or financial services or insurance verticals, there are repeating patterns. And that's great for fraud or some of the new use cases in terms of customer churn analytics or customer statistics. So these patterns and compliance requirements in these verticals creates an opportunity actually to come up with application applications for new companies, for new startups. Okay, Tendu, final question. Share with the folks out there the view of the show right now. This is 10 years of Hadoop, seven years of this event. Big Data NYC, we had a great event there. New York City, Silicon Valley. What's the vibe here in Silicon Valley here? This is one of the best events. I really enjoy Strata San Jose and I'm looking forward to the two days of keynotes and hearing from colleagues and networking with colleagues. This is really the heartbeat happens because with Hadoop World and Strata combined actually we started seeing more business use cases and more discussions around how to enable the business users which means the technology stack is maturing and the focus is really on the business and creating more insights and value for the businesses. Tendu, Yogochu, welcome to theCUBE. Thanks for coming by, really appreciate it. Go check out our Dublin event on the 14th of April. Hadoop Summit will be in Europe for that event. And of course go to Siliconangle.tv, check out our Women in Tech. Every week we feature Women in Tech on Wednesday. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for sharing the insight with SyncSore, really appreciate it. Thanks for coming by, this is theCUBE. We'll be right back with more coverage live and Silicon Valley after this short break.


So we had the SID display week right here in Los Angeles and who are you? I'm just got slow tovaki price in LA. It was one of the main purpose of my coming to LA. I'm very happy. I'm in a good company with other people like, for instance, Phil Boss, like Shinsuki Kobayashi, Tatsuro Uchida and so on. I'm very happy. Only one person in one year get this price and this SID is a big company. It is about 6,000 people and these are main display developers from many countries. So right now, right over here, they're doing the 50th anniversary of the LCD. Yeah. And you wrote a few books about LCD, right? Exactly. Why do you write about LCD? You know, I'm a mathematician by education but then I have three opportunities to make pure mathematician to go to computers or to go to physics. In 1968, I first come to know about LCD and I think LCD has a great future. I first make mathematical modeling but then I understand that modeling is not enough. You should get a real device and you should work in close cooperation with the experimentalist, which I have been doing. What is the modeling? What is the idea of the modeling? The idea of the modeling is very simple. What will happen with liquid crystal layer if you apply some electric field or some other stress? What will happen? And after this, when you solve this problem, you will solve Maxwell equations to know what will happen with light. Liquid crystal is very simple but many parameters and if you like to have good device, you should know many things about liquid crystal. What is liquid crystal? What does it look like? Is it like liquid? Yeah, yeah. It's good, it's good. Actually, the first name liquid crystal appears in the 14th century in the Peterarchic poem and he compared his love with Laura with liquid crystal. So liquid means liquid. It just has no alignment. Like water? Yeah, like water. And crystal means that you don't only have water but water which has the molecules which can align in one direction. So you have two degrees of freedom. One is velocity and the other is orientation. This incredibly interesting substance, liquid crystal. So is it what Merck was just talking before? Why are they having so much of that material? Merck is one of the companies. I've worked with them since 1985. They understand that liquid crystal is not science. This is the real future of all displays and now even future of photonics like sensors, beam steering devices, lenses and so on. But Merck understood it before other companies. They were very successful and now they control about 75% of the world market. So they create, they make it? Yeah, of course. Just in a lab? Yes, yes, yes. What do they take to make this liquid crystal? They should have good chemists but now chemistry is necessary but not sufficient. You should also know physics. You should know electronics. You should know optics. You should have collaboration with several people who know everything. But Merck, of course, is a chemical company. But they try to understand everything. So here at this 50-year anniversary of LCD, there are several people who were there for many years since the beginning event, right? Correct. So there is Martin Schatt and you work with him? Martin Schatt is my friend. So what did he do? Martin, I met with him in 1985 and he came to us and this time I was a researcher in Moscow and we cooperate with new technologies. I told him that we have some technology which we called photoelamin and I like to publish some results. Martin told me, Vladimir, are you crazy? Why publish? File a patent and we file several patents with him. He is my teacher, actually, with patents. I told Martin only two weeks before the publication. How can we file a patent? He told Vladimir, don't worry, I am expert in the field. Yes, now I have about 29 only US patents. Total number of my patents may be close to 100. So what did he do, Martin Schatt? Martin, he did first of all, he is inventor of Tien display and first Tien display has been produced by Sharp in 1973. Second, he is well aware of chemistry of liquid crystals so he can develop good materials with very fast response time, low voltage, high contrast and so on. And third, he is very persuading. When we worked with him in photoelamin, I think first that this is just some science. But he told me, no, Vladimir, this is not science, this is real technology. So he helped to push Sharp to make first display based on photoelamin, like UV-2A. So you say 1973, but 50 years is longer than that, right? Yes. Is it 68? 68. In 68 it was first liquid crystal display based on dynamics catering. It was funny display without any polarizers, but it works only 400 hours. 400 hours? Yes. 400 hours. 400 hours. So who was doing that? Was it Martin Schatt or was it... No, no, it was the other person and he is from the US. So is it Function Lu who is here, who is working with AUO? Yes, Function Lu, he is an expert in TFT, not in liquid crystal effects and materials. And this is the other person, I forgot his name, but... Peter Brody? Who is working with him? No, no, not Peter Brody. They made first scattering display in 1968 and Martin showed how it looks like. It looks very good, but it works only 400 hours because liquid crystal degrades very fast. Do you see one? Of course. We tried to make, we think that this display is good for some airplanes, some for satellites. It really, because it has no polarizers, but unfortunately it was very fast electrochemical degradation. In 1973 when the first TN-based display came out, that was making it possible to use in calculator or where did it go? Yes, you know, before 1973 you have display, for instance, based on LED. And then you don't see anything, but when you press your finger, you have LED light and you see what is time now. But for instance, you have some luggage, you cannot take, so you don't know what is the time. But LCD, this was a very small display and it can give you immediately all the information. And battery life was long already? Even the long time ago, 1973? 1973? The battery life was a little watch, could last for one year. A sharp demonstrate watch and then liquid crystal technology grows like this. And it was not yet clear whether it can replace TV, whether it can be leading technology in mobile phones and so on. But finally it happened. Actually in 1992 I was in some conference of people who are doing TV. And I told them that CRT will be completely replaced by LCD.  This is impossible. Which year was that? 1992. Yeah, in Russia. I was in some conference in Moscow. And people told, he doesn't understand TV at all. Why the hell? You think he was joking? But now CRT disappeared completely. And PDP plasma display also disappeared. Now we have a tough competition between LCD and OLED. And this is good for us. Because we need to prepare something extremely good. And we have already done this. Quantum dot, right? Quantum dots, fast responded ferroelectric liquid crystals, photoelament. This all technologies can have great success in competition with OLED. This is good that we should have a competition. OLED people tell that we come to saturation. I don't believe this. There is no saturation yet. Maybe later. And so who is reading your books for example? Our students? Yes, I have several books. And the most important book actually I was very easy to write this book because it was my doctoral degree. I just translate my doctoral dissertation from Russian to English. And it has about 1300 citations. This is well accepted book in electro-optical effects in liquid crystals. Second book I wrote myself. And because of this book because people recognize me as an expert in liquid crystals I get out of Russia in 1999. I got a position of associate visiting professor in HKUST, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Was it British Hong Kong or not yet? No, no, no. It was one country two systems in 1999. So you've been in Hong Kong since then? Yes, yes. For me I have typical Chinese appearance. So you have a Chinese, you have a Hong Kong students? Yes, I have a Hong Kong students, I have international students. I have about 17 PhD students, about 10 MFIL students and about 240 final year project students. So in the last 18, 19 years when you were there do you have many students who work in the display industry? Yes, yes, and moreover some of the students work as assistant professor in education, some work in companies and they still like to cooperate with me. So they invite me, we like to have some joint projects with them so this can be very interesting. And they still respect me because I think I give them freedom to do if I tell them what to do but they think professor we can do better. I highly appreciate this, this is very good idea. There's many, many billions of LCD displays out there, right? Yes. It must be a nice feeling for you and for everybody in the room, right? Who worked with this for many years. Yes. To feel like what you've done is a big, big thing. I cannot overrate my capabilities. Yeah, but the feeling is still amazing, right? Yes, people consider me... You bet on the right horse. Yes, I'm on the right horse and people consider me as one of the founders of photoelement and as for ferroelectric liquid crystals, ferroelectric liquid crystals were discovered in 1975 but my first paper was published in 1978 so today, another anniversary, 40 years when I'm doing ferroelectric liquid crystals. I think they are the future of liquid crystals. Can we just mention one or two other people that will be in that room? Yes. As we mentioned Martin Schatt, we mentioned E.U.U. Martin Schatt? No, no, but just to mention... For example, who's here? Martin Schatt, Fun Law. You mean... Martin Schatt, Fun Law. Then... There was a Nobel laureate who did the Nobel Blue. Yes, Nobel laureate in blue and many people I'm working with Shinsuki Kobayashi, he's working in private university and he made a lot of things in liquid crystals. He's actually my friend and we worked close together. And the other person, last one you mentioned, there's many many people here, all from the LCD industry and celebrating... The LCD industry is about 150 billion US per year and it is growing and there is no saturation. According to my opinion, LCD will still be active at least for 10 or maybe more years. So there is no any chance to replace LCD in the nearest future. Everybody who has LCD will get a new one and a new one and a new one. Yeah, exactly. Everybody who don't have LCD will get an LCD. Yes, yes. This is the most affordable... Yes, it is very easy to make. Cheap, high contrast ratio, fast response time, good colors. Everything is solved. Moreover we can have ARVR also, it will be based on LCD because of high resolution, fast response time and so on.
