so I was invited to judge a competition on creative arts so it was visual media
and music and I was there for the visual media part and one of the things that
really kind of stood out to me was that three of the movies I was watching by
these students were on mental health awareness
hey everybody welcome back to the aspie world I'm Dan I've got Asperger's
syndrome ADHD OCD and dyslexia I do weekly videos on autism and mental
health so consider subscribing to see more of these type of videos let's roll
the intro
hey guys and welcome back on this awesomely cold January day I think it's
actually the last day in January today which is kind of cool but yeah I hope
every type of fantastic January and you have your new year resolutions all lined
up ready to smash those goals for this year it's good to see all of your
smiling faces and I'm sure you are all smiling as I say this right now so let's
jump right in I wanted to do this video because I was
invited to attend a competition as a judge to judge the video part of it so
the students have creative control over everything and basically they had to
come up with a piece that was within ten minutes worth and it could be anything
could be an advert could be anything so one of the things that blew me away and
inspired me to make this video is that three out of the I would say seven
videos that we saw actually were on mental health awareness there was one on
stress there was one on depression there's another one on post-traumatic
stress disorder and I find this quite fascinating that the young people will
check up on themselves to make mental health awareness videos one of the
interesting things about it was that I feel a lot of people with mental health
you can get kind of shoved aside we know when somebody will be outside and they I
don't know say somebody opens up to their friends as it hey you know I'm
actually depressed I have depression what people say oh no you can't be no
we're not laughing and joking we're having we're having fun you don't have
depression and then that person kind of feels a bit judged and a bit kind of
like well you dismissive you know they dismiss all of the things that you say
oh I've got Asperger syndrome or oh I've got autism and they'll say you can't have autism
because you're talking awesomely says you know I'm really really stressing but
oh just gotta relax you know about that relieve stress you know and it will they
right there does relive stress but not gonna happen instantly is it you know
you still have these things that are like just looming over you and
especially for young people I feel like young people especially students have a
massive workload on and then coming of a rite of passage another day the
coming-of-age they're in between high school and college I mean that's a crazy
age to be exploring the universe anyway and one of the interesting things is
that they are so susceptible to things like stress and anxiety and depression
and motivation dips and those things that can have an impact on their lives
especially for young people and I feel like this is something that's so lost
within there but I was in this competition and so being a
judge I decided that I would take my camera and see what happens
what's going on guys I'm here now in Pontio I skateboarded down I got absolutely
drenched the board's ruined but I'm here with some of the competitors and this is
Luke from Luke actually has a channel he's actually related to me is my cousin
which is kind of crazy so there's no favoritism here and then we judge in
everything neutral but Luke's got a channel called Luke Moto but I'll link
it below where you guys can check him out any way I'm here now and it's gonna be quite
interesting because it's like a billion people here look at all these people I
gotta go on judge and I gotta tell everyone I do but it's very kind of cool
anyway right let's get on with the day
what's going on guys I'm actually stopping for
lunch here today we did about maybe like five movies in the first kind of like
two hours it was crazy crazy but so I've got my bag with me and trying to find
somewhere to kind of go it's a bit more quiet to actually have lunch now as you
can see behind me there's like a bunch of bunch lot of people and these are all
competitors and the people who are actually like taking part in the
competition one of the things that I noticed was most of the movies were
about mental health and I find it quite interesting because there's not an awful
lot of kind of young people but when I was in school that were like super into
like mental health awareness or like depression and all kind of stuff but
also the fact that like the mental health videos I feel like it's
highlighting an awareness I'm like more people are aware of it more students are
aware of it and like when you have young people engaged in making mental health
awareness videos I feel like it moves the narratives are more people who
everyone son is when you say to somebody like oh I've got an depression or I'm
feeling a bit kind of s***y that people don't go you know this guy's full of
crap they actually kind of understand what it's all about but right now I'm gonna get
some lunch and then they're yeah get back to the judging
okay guys I'm rapped up here not doing a full judging thing but I'm in this
room this is where we were all day in it's like a really nice theater kind of
stuff and then all the movies play up here on this this screen here it was
really really good I think every had a really good time and it was so nice to
see city or what young people kind of be in creative stuff so now I'm gonna grab
my bag and then get back to the other theater three movies on mental health awareness - that
was dope I'm back home now the event was
fantastic the kids were excellent their movies was so so good I was so impressed
by every single one of them it was hard we had to pick like you know three of
the top ones but they were very very good and it was so nice to see and I
feel like if you young people continue to make really good strong movies about
mental health awareness then they're gonna help move the the paradigm away
from the fact that people dismiss it and they're not gonna be so dismissive when
they hear oh you know my friend has depression they'll know hey that's
actually a thing I've seen a recreation of it on on a video and okay yeah I get
it I understand that and I think the understanding part will make people way
more accepting of it but it definitely needs to change because right now I
don't feel a lot of people really get mental health awareness and really
understand the needs of people with mental health issues especially that of
students a lot of parents are to hard on the students and again of course a lot
of the actual teachers and the academics are kind of hard on the students they
don't really realize how stressful and potentially depressing a lot of work can
make you feel but that being said I really enjoyed every single one of them
and I think that the people will go really really far with their videos I
hope you enjoyed this little kind of discussion on mental health because I
think it needs to happen and I feel like you know there's there's a lot of missed
opportunities mental health awareness and I feel like by each of us doing
a part making videos like this making posts making blogs I think that we will
help change the paradigm or we will help change it for the better and people
become more understanding and less dismissive I will see each and every one
of you in my next video so let's roll the end screen
