Autistic YouTubers

[Hugh Quinn]

(NOTE: I have autism, and I posting this for some project I'm planning in April time. As these are the questions I would be asking. Also I don't know if this fits into the right forum. So if an admin moves it that's fine.)

On YouTube, there has been a massive gap in YouTubers that have Autism. The only Massive Autistic YouTuber I know is DanBull.

My Question is...Why isn't there many Huge YouTubers that have Autism? And why no YouTubers who might have it but never talked about it?

I have Autism as well, even though mine is Asperger's Syndrome. I mention it here and there if I get into situations in which people don't understand me. I've actually never seen/subscribed to a famous Autistic YouTuber, except for Willow Hope (I say famous because she's got like over 1,000 subscribers). I feel like there's not a lot of huge Autistic YouTubers because they may not ever want to admit that they have it (at least on camera) or maybe people don't appreciate their content or have any support on their content. A lot of them probably don't talk about it because they may be ashamed to tell people, maybe they feel like people don't need to know, or maybe it's because they feel like it doesn't stop them from making videos (a pride thing). Either way, I think the important thing is to just find people that are and give them tons of support so that they don't fall back and out of the game. Autism, like any other type of videos (gaming, music, vlogs, etc), is a niche within itself and maybe they're not into it, but it's certainly something to think about.
