Sounds so much like the experiences surrounding judgmental peers and adults experienced by all 30% of children effectively excluded from participating in learning suffering approval deprivation and leaving education as functionally and digitally illiterate as they arrived with a disproportionate number ending-up at the revolving-door of our youth justice system........... th-cam.com/video/xxMsgVgeu_M/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/u82Glq5yFkg/w-d-xo.html

34:13 I felt that part about a sense of having to prioritize economic survival until we can address the mental health needs. 😢❤

Thank you so much for an excellent presentation.

Do you have the extra information she said at the end could be added to the TH-cam posting?

Just seen your interview on BBC 1, you sound like one amazing human being and I wish you were in my area and someone I could chat to. Do you think your gift for languages is from audio learning? I’m an audio and visual learner. Give me a book of instructions I’d struggle to take in what I was reading but show me and I can remember. Isn’t the brain amazing and how if we don’t have one thing it makes up for it another way and we learn to use what we have to learn, create and cope with everyday life. I want to ask with all the different discoveries of different conditions humans have we strive to be ‘normal’, what now is normal? I was told as an adult I was dyslexic. It made sense of my schooling and other things I’d coped with in my life. I try to explain it as having no minds eye for words yet I can do maths in my head. I can’t summarise what I want to say so come over as abrupt or blunt when I’m a pacifist and wouldn’t want to upset anyone. I try to be diplomatic but truthful. I can’t write short explanations, as you can see here and use 100 words where a sentence will do. But now ADHD has come into the public eye more and the different things autism brings I’m wondering if I was misdiagnosed because I have similar problems/traits that those conditions are reported to have.Have you come across people who were misdiagnosed in the 1990’s? I took the WRAT test in 1999 I left school in 1980 and went to art college for 4 years where I flourished. I was told years later that approximately 75% of the students at that college were all dyslexic to one degree or another yet it wasn’t mentioned once whilst I was there. I just had to repeat my English OLevel twice before I passed. I’m looking forward to reading your book. I wish you lots of success in the future and keep up the great work. Thank you.

I just learned about double empathy problem and now it's already multiplying! 😅 I'll save this for a later view. I'll bet there's gonna be a lot of interesting information.

This is very difficult to listen to but a very important area to be looked at.

Thanks for sharing your findings!

Great talk and very interesting project. Thank you. Does the work in this area include the concept of salutogenic design and architecture to reduce anxiety - a bit like the work reducing adverse sensory stimuli for those in healthcare environments?

I can assure you that many white Autistic people totally relate to being Black and Autistic; the level of exclusion, marginality, and lack of acceptance. Not quite the same dynamics, but many same positions in the Marginality space. Good honest and intelligent presentation, Joris.

It is quite emotional to listen to. You think you are 'thinking about it or reflecting on' what Botha is saying, but in the midst of listening to this, you realize you are very emotional, as in feelings of hope and of loss, as in being fully human and Autistic are so obviously one of the same

😊

Thank you 🙏🏼 Mary! That was fascinating. So many things to pick up on. I especially loved the #autisticjoy in this. Thank you!

A very interesting talk! There was mention of information about autistic teachers - is there a link for this anywhere\/

Link to papers cited in Mary's presentation, and many more interesting things beside: linktr.ee/autisticdoctors

Currently working on getting an adjustments document (in year nine at my job) so this is very useful to watch!

Do click the CC button for captions

wow, hard to hear at the beginning. perhaps you could add subtitles? also how can i be notified of these webinars so i can join live?

Why is there no save option like all the other videos I have today. I checked other videos and they all have the feature. This makes is very challenging.

This is such an important area for research - autistic women are often ignored for focus, and their experiences during maternity could so easily be traumatic if there's not enough understanding of how autism shapes things.

Pete is always able to communicate the autistic experience so eloquently. The fact he did so just after a meltdown is even more impressive.

Brilliant presentation. Enlightening, accessible and comprehensive in the approach to this subject.

Good 19:00 example with Gender Identity falling outside of European Christian expectations. I read a paper a few years ago about that, how anti-trans bigotry is racist, because it's all stemming from Euro-centric norms and assumptions; excluding the cultures -- like indigenous Americas, Polynesians, Indian Subcontinent, and SO many more places -- where it was just completely normal

Please could I have the pdfs is there an email I could send to

Ooooh, I love this point at ~6:20 about how it's not a coincidence that most researchers are white and not autistic, but systemically influenced. That is so important to drive into the minds of the researchers who might not have ever thought twice about that.

Amazing. This is the best thing I watched all year.

Yes, masking is mainly to avoid negative treatment, stigma and discrimination, not to "make friends" like some researchers have suggested. I'm sure making friends is one reason, but it's not the main one.

You really need to drop his use of the word ‘behaviour’. It is received as a negative and implies too much that it is within ones control and as if it is a choice whereby one could freely choose or not choose to do it.

My son has suffered autism spectrum since childhood and has battled with it all his life. But recently taking Dr Ehizogie herbs have helped him get rid of it completely, his speech is vital and his social skill is perfect. I'm so glad and happy now His channel is #drehizogie…

So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Ehizogie Herbal medicine and it has been really helpful, 100 his speech has improved completely and he can now respond to name when called and can also say what he want. His channel is #drehizogie

I'm a nonbinary, queer, white American with chronic pain, c-PTSD, ADHD and Autism, and I have a degree in sociology and anthropology. I'm so grateful to see this presentation. These are really important things for this world to be discussing. Thank you so much for bringing Joris Lechene in. I look forward to seeing more of your channel. Please continue to actively platform people with under-represented backgrounds - this will continue to improve the lives of everyone, neurotypical and neurodivergent folk alike. Thank you!

So excited to have found this - can't wait to watch the whole thing! I found this because of a comment on tiktok, on a video about deconstructing neurodivergence.

Really nice to see autistic teachers being considered, arguably we are in an amazing position to be able to support autistic students and also relate other students who have various learning differences. I wonder if autistic teachers could arguably be much better than their neurotypical peers in an SEN setting as their levels of empathy and it's student understanding are likely better than their neurotypical peers. Worth noting that this idea will extend to other learning differences. On a more negative note, I've also heard a fair amount of ableist views from other teachers and even in SEN settings. It's quite demoralising to hear and reflect on, I think the vast majority of people are in it for the right reasons but its a tough pill to swallow knowing that your colleagues think less of the group of people you belong to. I've heard a lot of autistic adults discuss the dangers of disclosure in the workplace and in schools, knowing that these sorts of ableist views exist makes me cautious.

Looking forward to watching this I missed it at the time, hello to Rose and Pete

This is really interesting - I wonder how many teachers leaving the profession is due to undiagnosed issues that the workload associated with teaching just can't cope with.

Thank you so much for your most excellent presentation. I am very excited to be a subscriber to CRAE works!! As a doctoral student in ASD/DD research with my dissertation focus on CLD students' postsecondary transition planning, this lecture was very helpful. I also study neurodiversity on my own. Thank you!!

Fletcher Watson exploits autistic people.

Thank you, Joris.

Oh hey it's up!

Fabulous presentation by Dr Julia Cook on the subject of the wide range of techniques used by adults when camouflaging Austic behaviors in order to cope in our complex world. Brilliant responses to the various questions asked by the audience. As an Educator for over 40 years working with students with various needs and characteristics I found the CRAE pre station very informative and gave me more insight into adults on yhe Spectrum.

I love it ..thank you for this information

29:40 I think more research would have to be done to decipher why autistic people tend to get along with people with similar interests, but for non-autistic people it would be self-disclose. Firstly, what type of self disclosure is needed, and secondly, what personality traits are valued if two people don't need to have the same things in common? It appears that non-autistic people are more selective as to who they make friends with, so the question left to ask, is why?

0:00 The word "masking" implies that an autistic person is attempting to appear less autistic, in order to fit in with allistic people. I'm sure it's not as simple as that, as autistic do more than this to fit in with allistic people. I believe the word masking will be eradicated from the lexicon in the future and be replaced with a more suitable word. 18:00 Camoflauging making a person feel tired and emotional strain implies that autistic people have a chronic illness that ties into spoon theory. Under spoon theory a person only has a certain amount of theoretical spoons in a day, and each task they do takes up one of the spoons, and they can't do any more tasks once the spoons run out. Is autism really a chronic illness? 22:48 People are more sensitive nowadays compared to 15 years ago. Things that were okay to do back then aren't socially acceptable now. I can give lots of examples. Also political correctness has become more severe. I will write an article about this on my blog. 24:55 You say that people who camoflague are more likely to experience social isolation, bullying and sexual assault. Well look at the personality profile of trolling and cyberbullying victims. Apart from gender and age, another way of developing a profile of typical trolling and cyber-bullying victims is to identify characteristic psychological traits. One study (Alonso and Romero, 2013) found that cyber victims show higher levels of neuroticism, including high anxiety, hostility, depression and vulnerability to stress, high agreeableness (altruism and modesty), and higher levels of openness. These traits are based on the five-factor model of personality differences, pioneered by Goldberg (1990). As this is only one study, however, more research would be needed before any clear conclusions can be drawn. 28:25 If a person trying to befriend someone else, whilst being guarded, formal, or highly agreeable, the listener will pick up on this and it'll make the listener less likely to be their friend as they're not sharing and opening up. 29:40 So why do autistic people value disclosure over similarities? Probably because allistic people are less receptive to disclosure than autistic people. Autistic people don't require hours of jazzy speak before they finally feel comfortable enough to share personal things about themselves. An autistic person would just walk up to a person, ask if they want to be friends, and assuming the other person was also autistic, the answer would be yes. They don't like small talk and they also don't follow social norms. And autistic people apply less vetting criteria other people to decipher whether a person is a suitable friend, so they would also be less guarded for that reason. If an autistic person tried to talk about high brow topics or ask sensitive personal questions in the beginning of a conversation to an allistic person, they would reply "this topic is too deep too quickly in us talking" or "I don't feel comfortable sharing about myself until I get to know you". 44:40 The DISCO report is less reliant on observation than the ADOS-2, to diagnose autism. 47:30 Even if an autistic person camouflages, it can still be obvious to others that they are autistic. However other people probably won't ask if the person is autistic, because they don't want to cause offence. Yes it's controversial that the autism community is trying to classify autism as not a disability and not a disorder, and instead say it's a positive thing, a different way of thinking and that it doesn't need to be changed. This however is a different topic. In my opinion it's a disability and disorder.

James is the only one on that panel without moral integrity.

Why are people that do not overtly display Autistic behaviour not researched and tested to find out definite differences in the learning of skills and the appliance of logic in all areas of society and industry like for instance a piano player or footballer or engineer or physicist? I believe the only reason why Autistic traits and the individual that displays them are visible is because they have an inability to form social bonds, that the only outwardly visible aspect of an Autistic person are their ability. They are Automatic Autonomons mostly, there as you will be aware are a lot of Autistic people that do not qualify as being Autistic just because they have no special needs. i.e in my belief and understanding Elon Musk is on the Autistic spectrum to some degree but does not get the label because he presents with no physical diagnosis or with a need of personal social support. Autism isn't a bad thing at all but the fear sections of society has for those who are different is.

Fantastic ! Very informative and honest manner of communicating the process taken by Brett from start to finish. Will be watching this again.. it isn't a once off as there is so much to consider. Thanks heaps Brett.
