Wow Sarah, what a brilliant video explanation of the aspects of being autistic! My daughter related to everything you said and it made her feel like she isn’t the only one who has these issues. She also loves her nap time! You are an amazing woman, thank you for sharing your story 😊

Well done, Sarah. Proud of you! Glad you were finally able to identify the complexities of you!

Kendra speaks straight from the heart in a no-nonsense fashion. There's real power behind her words.

This really is an inspirational interview with a remarkable person. No sense of self-pity, a positive attitude towards Autism, and a complete openness about how Autism has affected her life!

Yes indeed 😊

I'd never have been diagnosed if a colleague hadn't said "Don't take this the wrong way, but have you ever considered you might be autistic?" and yet when I know people I think might be neurodivergent I feel too afraid of them being insulted if I say anything similar to them to do so.

Same here I have difficulty interacting. I do my best in life.

Autism and Visual Perception Some people with autism have visual perceptual challenges which have an impact on learning, identity, mentalising and navigating the visual/social world. theisaacs22.wordpress.com/2017/08/30/autism-visual-agnosias-and-making-connections/ blog.donnawilliams.net/2014/09/20/visual-perceptual-disorders-as-a-cause-of-autism/

Autism and Personality Types Human beings have up to 4 to 6 personality types which means this colours the person's profile. Mine are solitary, mercurial, idiosyncratic, serious and self-sacrificing. www.google.com/amp/s/theisaacs22.wordpress.com/2017/03/14/the-importance-of-recognising-personality-types-in-autism/amp/ blog.donnawilliams.net/2016/02/26/autism-personality-and-identity/

Hi All Here is some additional information on some of points made in the presentation. I understand that some of criticism that has been supplied and will offer links for people to research and internalise. As I said this analogy takes time to understand (I have been for so for ten years). Autism and Exposure Anxiety theisaacs22.wordpress.com/2019/04/17/a-journey-with-exposure-anxiety-2/
