Can irlens be caused by trauma that then makes the brain hyperaware? Thank you
pss... you lost me in the older people can't learn as well as young. I learn better than younger folks. Why? Because I have a good working model of the world. It is super easy to relate a new thing to similar old thing I already know. sure.. we have more in our heads and retrieval can be longer, but so what.
I truly appreciate this video. I had a moment at work, and it hit me. I couldn't sleep because it brought me to my childhood. My issues with concentration and focus. I remember Whoopie Goldberg speaking on it and felt the need to look up videos. Thank you for explaining in a way that I had to understand and accept my reality. I am going to seek out help to deal with my issue.
Thank you for sharing this. It's powerful that you’re reflecting on your experiences and taking steps toward understanding and seeking support. Wishing you strength on your journey-you’ve already taken an important first step! - Nat
You don't have to be a political party member to go along with the program or to be viewed as an important Nazi asset, which Asperger was
Thank you for your comment. The history surrounding figures like Hans Asperger is complex and controversial. It's crucial to examine such topics critically and with reliable sources to fully understand the historical context and implications.
I felt the Holy Spirit draw me to this channel, so whoever reads this comment, I’m asking you pls, please, accept Jesus as your lord and saviour. Hell is real and it is scary, but Christ offers us a way to have eternal life with him forever and ever through the sacrifice he made on the cross. Wake up, wake up please if you have not already 😞
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt perspective. It’s clear that your faith is deeply important to you, and I respect your passion and commitment to sharing it with others.
When do you think this technology could be out? Is 5 years too early?
Great question! The timeline for gene editing technology becoming widely available depends on regulatory approval, safety trials, and ethical considerations. Five years might be optimistic for widespread use, but significant advancements could emerge within that timeframe in research and specific medical applications. - Nat
I am Dyslexic my Brain is wired up differently that's all
Absolutely! Being dyslexic means your brain processes information differently, and that difference often comes with unique strengths. Embracing how you're wired can be empowering! - Nat
How about treating Autistic employees with basic respect and dignity by their managers and coworkers. That would be a good start, which from my own limited experience has been an uphill struggle! A lot of company’s will ‘do the talk’ but ‘won’t walk the walk’ in practical real ways that trickle down in the organisation and so to me looks like virtue signalling. I’d rather they admit they want to make any autistic’s miserable at work and are not welcomed there. At least I would know where I stand!
typo ‘autistic’s life’. Note I would rather deal with an upfront bigot, than a person that says one thing to show how virtuous they are, but does the opposite! But that seems to be the nature of politics these days.
You raise important points. Respect and dignity should be the baseline for everyone, including autistic employees. Companies must back up their words with meaningful action-policies, training, and accountability. Your frustration is valid, and pushing for genuine change is critical for creating truly inclusive workplaces. - Nat
I was diagnosed at the age of 58. It made me feel so much better. Answered a lot of questions. Why I have had problems doing certain things.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s amazing how understanding a diagnosis can bring clarity and relief, no matter when it happens. Wishing you continued self-discovery and empowerment! - Nat
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
I like condition
That’s a great perspective! Framing it as a "condition" can feel more empowering and reduce stigma, focusing on differences rather than deficits. - Nat
Just diagnosed at 59yrs old. Definately UNDERSTANDING. .. really helped me with releasing shame & guilt..
Thank you for sharing. It’s inspiring to hear how understanding your diagnosis has helped you let go of shame and guilt. Wishing you continued growth and self-compassion on your journey! - Nat
I seem to be a savant. Without autisum (I get abstract conceps and am empathetic etc. I am very frustrated at the rarity of this. I get tired of knowing I don't have to explain myself but people seem to want me too. I understand most times. Most people seem confused
Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you have a unique perspective and abilities, which can indeed feel isolating at times. Remember, your understanding is a strength, and while it can be frustrating to explain yourself, it’s also an opportunity to bridge gaps and foster connection with others. - Nat
Imagine hiring someone that took hours to read and write a project resume when you had a limited deadline. If you want to work, do a job that doesn't require reading like cleaning service.
It’s important to recognise that neurodivergent individuals bring diverse strengths to the workplace. While some tasks might take longer, their creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail can greatly benefit teams. Inclusive workplaces thrive when they focus on strengths and provide the right support for all employees.
The man who invented the MRI envisioned people being able to get a full body scan once a year. When he came out with a new machine, the big companies would say what he was doing was impossible. They would buy his machine, reverse engineer it, and release a new one of their own. I've never seen one of his machines. His company is Fonar. He passed away in 2022 at 86. Others got the Nobel Prize. He acknowledges their work was important, but he is the creator.
Thank you for sharing this fascinating story! It highlights how innovation can sometimes be overshadowed by larger corporations. The legacy of the MRI and its profound impact on medicine owes much to pioneers like him, even if recognition doesn’t always align with contribution. - Nat
I have glasses with tinted colour
That’s great! Tinted glasses can be so helpful for managing sensory sensitivities or visual stress. I hope they’re making a positive difference for you! - Nat
Never sure
Dyslexia and autism are distinct conditions, though they can overlap. Here’s a quick comparison: Dyslexia: A specific learning difficulty affecting reading, writing, and spelling. It's linked to how the brain processes language and often comes with strengths in creativity and problem-solving. Autism: A neurodevelopmental condition that impacts social communication, sensory processing, and behaviour patterns. It often involves focused interests, unique perspectives, and innovative thinking. Both are forms of neurodiversity, and individuals with either can thrive with the right understanding and support.
On the other hand may be they Are trying to get rid of the problem. But just behind the schemes. And may be that's a good thing, honestly, because if I take a brief listen about people shittalking the gays and the foreign Dutch citicisens... I'm glad I'm not in these groups. Because people are being way too intolerant towards these folks, in my opinion...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Intolerance and discrimination are serious issues, and fostering understanding and respect for all groups is essential for building inclusive and compassionate communities. It’s important to challenge harmful attitudes and support those who face prejudice. - Nat
In the Netherlands they don't give a shit about that some of us autismoes can't stand fireworks. And nobody ever brings it up, it's almost like they aren't mentioning it on purpose. In my opinion, in a "liberal" country this should be collectively addressed...
You make an important point. Sensory sensitivities, like difficulty with fireworks, can significantly impact autistic individuals. Advocating for quieter or alternative celebrations could help create a more inclusive environment. In a truly "liberal" society, these conversations should definitely be part of the dialogue. - Nat
Hi Nat, This is Rodrigo from Mexico. It's great to find a place that encourages neurodiverse people. As a dyslexic, I've struggled a lot to be successful and I need a lot of motivation and tips, like you provide in Exceptional Individuals. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you find our work helpful. Dyslexia comes with unique strengths, and with the right support, success is definitely within reach. Keep pushing forward-you’ve got this!
Reading and talking and reading and talking... is my whole life.
Thank you for sharing. It sounds like reading and talking are a big part of your journey-whether that’s a challenge, a passion, or both. Sending encouragement your way as you navigate life through your unique experiences.
Thank you so much for the kind encouragement (: it means a lot!!
Neuroscientist would be more reliable here in America we get this computer program called the DCM What a bunch of crap Snake Snake oil It's all it is the American snake oils not the American dream trust me
Hi Kevin, I understand your frustration with certain systems. While the DSM has its limitations, many neuroscientists and clinicians are working toward better diagnostic tools. Advocacy and continued research are key to improving these frameworks. Very best, Nat
I would say 1⁄5 solution if you added it you know what we are Evolution progress the way forward believe that nikola Tesla and several people in history are responsible for moderate advancements even believe that Napoleon was a greatest military mine in the French and it's believed today he was autistic What do you mean if I had my own little movement I'd be I'd be undefeated No I couldn't make that up Was even on the list Was even on the list of people who could be autistic Charles Darwin There's a lot and I am so sick of the world's BS It's because we're different Maybe we're more evolved than NT.'s are I say we're not different we're better And that's the beauty of being neurodivirgint we can be ourselves and not be stigmatized or hated
You’ve shared some powerful thoughts. Many historical figures have been retrospectively considered neurodivergent, highlighting how unique perspectives can drive progress. While neurodivergence comes with its strengths, true progress happens when everyone-neurodivergent or neurotypical-is valued for their individuality. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
The so-called normies would quit stigmatizing People who are different from them it probably be less need for mental health as no 1 will be getting mentally damaged Having collective trauma disorder coming with my autism from the way the world has done me and traumatiest me is about as bad as a soldier coming back with Having collective trauma disorder coming with my autism from the way the world has done me and traumatiest me is about as bad as a soldier coming back with shell shock I'm not gonna call it postertic stress disorder cause if they still call it shell shock veterans would get the help they need to accept with me Collective trauma Kind of stacks it up To what I have right there collective drama disorder from years of abuse from people because I'm not normal To what I have right there collective drama disorder from years of abuse from people because I am not normal or like them People wonder why I have this hate Even my own girlfriend who is not mentally together right now I'm trying to find a place that will actually give her therapy and help her She's starting to stick my ties She's starting to stick my ties me for being autistic That's how to wack she is and she's That's how to wack she is and she's not a That's how outta she is and she's not a neurodipical I don't know where she's getting the idea Differences I Differences I know she is doing it because she's not well we've been trying to find the right therapist to get her the right help At least what she probably has they know enough about however Usually the public are doing it to be evil And not inclusive and I'm so tired of the division in America I wish I'd probably go somewhere like X. patriot to Scotland or something I could probably Probably knows more abou What the fuck they are doing
Who says that with autism we even have a condition we're boring the way we are for very good reason we're not broken I bet if I walked up to Jesus and ask him to cure me from autism he would tell me there's nothing wrong with me That's another reason I hate about the world just because my brain is wired different I am considered broken Or disordered it's another reason I've learned to hate neurotypicals So yes based on the way I've been treated but he's so called normal people and society the neural typicals I've learned to hate them for stigmatizing everyone that is different from them I had a friend who was schizophreniac He got no help disowned by his mom over the step dad he was abusive to He was dignitized for having this condition he has no help guess where he is the psych ward of a prison as well cause nobody Flippin help him People can understand why I hate neurotypicals I got pissed off lately Really angry when I learned my Really angry when I learned my therapist thought I Really angry when I learn my therapist thought I didn't need therapy Really angry when I learn my therapist thought I didn't need Really angry when I learned my therapist thought I didn't need therapy and here I'm waiting on an institution for mental health it's supposed to build an autism support group for adults still hasn't happened heard nothing Even my own girlfriend we don't know what she has tried to get her right treatment even make time to help her nonetheless can't keep a therapist past 3 years in that place they all move on something Nobody is getting the help they need Plus I don't know why I ever went back there when here it is been under investigation for several types of fraud but still So called normies would quit stigmatizing
Probably sound insane based on my comments But my view of the world is of a wider range and I'm seeing things no 1 is addressing or owning up to and they hate it when I call them out on it Cancel culture didn't fix anything by the way I left it more people hidden from Cancel culture didn't fix anything by the way I left it more people hidden from the reality less prepared to handle situations To be honest I lost faith in my own country as an American Back when they recruiting officer used the R. word with me when I was wanting to think maybe if I joined the military people would treat me like a normal person That didn't happen 15 years of my life not getting hired anywhere Trying to find a Trying to find a jawbreaker People have no clue how deep my hate goes when the only way reason I have a job is because the hiring manager in human resources was also autistic and I got the hand out I didn't even get to interview they skipped that I've been trying to work no 1 would hire me at least a place I work at treats me like I have value and actually no the way my Brain works helps me get a job done I'm like finally somebody notices My value They know I have leadership skills Then the 1st 2 months they're already grooming me to be a trainer and I'll probably move up quick Everyone else in the world always treaterd me like I was a piece of crap good for nothing Don't get me started on how it was hard for people like me to build relationships I was stigmatized for being a virgin till I was 29 when I threw it away to shut these people up All I did was get out of it was a free beer no no different respect and usual mistreatment Neurotiques are obsessed These things that are not important Guess what guess what people curiosity Guess what guess what people curiosity killed the cat you seem to think that sexual relations is the best feeling in the world guess what Neanderthal you're dumb As an autistic I've an open mind view I would enjoy eating a bowl of macro in cheese before I would try doing all that As an autistic I've an open mind view I would enjoy eating a bowl of macro in cheese before I would try doing all that hard work As an autistic I've an open mind view I would enjoy eating a bowl of macro in cheese before I would try doing all that hard work for As an autistic I've an open mind view I would enjoy eating a bowl of macro in cheese before I would try doing all that hard work for sensation and it only lasts To me smoking a cigar is better than half the stupid stuff you know typical's like as an artistic may open mind view A cigars A cigars relaxing but all the weed you supposed normal people smoke is part of the reason the A cigar is relaxing but all the weed you supposed normal people smoke is part of the reason the government manipulated you ever heard of him They're programming you by getting you high The only 1 who notices stuff cause I pay attention to George carlin philosophy so he could tell people the truth and whistle blow The only 1 who notices stuff cause I pay attention to George carlin philosophy so he could tell people the truth and whistle blow without the government trying to kill him
And I agree with George carlin if by Vietnam they still called their condition shell shock the veterans from would have still got the attention they needed at the time There are different types of stress disorder we can't just put it under the 8 syllable word with an added hyphen-takes a life out of its meaning Categorize all stressed disorders as others I have collective trauma Thanks done to me Thanks done to me by neurotic so me as an artistic of learn to learn to hate the norm Because all they do is hate me for being myself So I wondered if genocide normal people we would be allowed to be normal Cause I'm tired of this us versus them they either learn to accept people who are different I get rid of the idiots and all the normal people the Cause I'm tired of this us versus them they either learn to accept people who are different I get rid of the idiots and all the normal people the neurotypicals are too busy causing wars causing races and causing hate polluting our planet none of them really care about what right I bet you there are more sins committed I bet you there are more sins committed by Nero typicals I bet you there are more sins committed by Nero typicals and god sides then the neural divergent people like us who seem to be so much more innocent to him Be porn you know what I'm talking about I bet you a lot of people who did I bet you a lot of people who I bet you a lot of people who did mass killings got tired of being bullied People would find me weird for for sympathizing with them but I remember in high school I kept being bullied by everybody You make it worse I was trying to find a job right out of high school School system was afraid if I was driving I'd go bowling for my bullies you know I was trying to get a driver's license to be more accepted and bullied less I knew the staff was making it decision to more or less I knew the staff was making it decision to more or less me further I would ran over them with the driver's I knew the staff was making it decision to more or less me further I would ran over them with the driver's headcard Matter of fact I never would have had these dark thoughts how I would get revenge on society if I was never punished for being a victim that's what creates people like me I probably created those kids like it calling me I've I've had seen these patterns Guns to school Just to off themself It's been videos of some of Being talked out of it by people who do care And that's rare Most of the time you have violent neurotypicals creating violence out of neurodivergence cause they just don't like And if anyone has not seen these patterns that's why you get these people in the 1st place getting revenge I see a huge majority not all I see a huge majority not all Of narrow typical the cause of evil Except the select few that accept us
Thank you for sharing your experiences and feelings so openly. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and I’m sorry you’ve faced so much pain. The world can be harsh, especially for those who think and feel differently, but change is possible through understanding and advocacy. If you're ever feeling overwhelmed, please consider reaching out to someone who can help-you don’t have to carry this alone.
Divergent Divergent people were considered mad in the past but still are treated much equally yeah there's much improvements but they don't wanna invest in it I say the neuro typical people the ones who are normally accepted by society or the ones that are mad not Divergent people were considered mad in the past but still are treated much equally yeah there's much improvements but they don't wanna invest in it I say the neurotypical people the ones who are normally accepted by society or the ones that are mad not us They say we're mad cause we're not normal No what I say fuck normal If they can't accept me for who I am Then I say to be normally Viewed by society standards as what they see as normal Is evil No how many of my friends I have that none of them are nuerotypical That is how divided we still are with neurodiversity It is an us versus dim It is an us versus them issue I say we eradicate That way we That way we are allowed to be accepted without the people who live by society standardizing us Et cetera Et Et cetera That way we're allowed to be normal because there will be no such things
Mad doctors that's an understatement look up world war 2 history you'll see how much worse mad scientist were on people like me The German scientist treated us worse That's why today is an American That's why today is an American I fear white supremacy and I see them as a threat To them I'm white If they know about my autism They'd hang me too
Employment for autism still sucks the only reason I have a job so I got the handout from an HR person who was autistic Neurodiversity is a lot to improve on
I hear you, and you're absolutely right-employment for autistic individuals still has a long way to go. While some companies are making progress, systemic change is needed to create truly inclusive workplaces. I’m glad you found someone who understood your potential, but support shouldn’t depend on luck. We’ll keep pushing for better opportunities for everyone.
I hope you know that a lot of modern day people still don't treat us any better Some of this reminds me when I was accidentally a cult Sounds familiar sounds about as the nuerotypical public used to treat me When I tried building my own movement people thought I was using villain talk the problem is with Problem is with neurotypicals neurodivergence as a Problem is with neurotypicals neurodivergence as a whole it's an us versus them problem people don't realize the reality Even other neurodivergent people in the community disagreed with me on that but I would I've experienced my perspective proves that us versus them When I could never find a stem that would help me know what I do I change smoke cigars cause it's only thing When I could never find a stem that would help me know what I do I change smoke cigars cause it's the only thing that works Special when I'm over stem People just don't get it Try building a Try building a brotherhood of change A group for unity But everyone kept acting like I was trying to be the autistic Hitler or some shit And I get tired of the idiocracy And I get tired of the idiocracy that is neurotypicals And I get tired of the idiocracy that is neurotypical Just because we're not what they consider normal does it mean we should get less respect we used to get bullied in schools for things people thought was weird yeah what I'd follow the rules and report to staff I was punished for being the victim of it And people wonder why I would sympathize the lot of people who's been And people wonder why I would sympathize the lot of people who's been violent things cause of injustice I didn't even have a job till I had to hand out from an HR person who is also autistic otherwise I would never have a job It took 15 Took 15 years me to finally get employed Took 15 years me to finally get employed somewhere I was treated like I was worth a damn And I still hate neurotypicals Even my neurodivergent girlfriend starts insulting me now cause my autism in the social understanding I don't pick I don't pick up cues like everybody else And a lot of us are single because we're And a lot of us are single because we're stigmatized for not being like the rest of the world And it's standards Snowing can blame me for hating people Who are neurotypical who follow the standards of the world This history proves my point I wish I had this a long time ago I could use it for fuel for recruitment for my movement
Wide set eyes is an autism look.
Sadly as an ASD mum of 3 2vof whom are also asd autistic Asperger's ADHD The legal systems leave a vile taste in many parents mouths. The justice system is vile i will be doing my own video about this .. I am beyond disgusted with the systems in England, my only saving grace in all im experiencing is that i record my calls & video appointments
I’m really sorry to hear about your difficult experiences with the system. Navigating legal and support frameworks can be especially tough for neurodivergent families. Sharing your story through a video sounds like a powerful way to raise awareness and push for change. Wishing you strength and hope in your advocacy journey.
Thank you
You are welcome :)
Powerful
Thankyou
eager to learn everything apart from the fact that 'everything' doesnt have a k at the end of it
Don't be 'THAT' Guy!
I'm 48 and pretty much the same Story at School tho I was labelled dyslexic that all early schools wasn't happy was Right as had more issues but because wasn't Disruptive so It couldn't be ADHD tho it was probably both and with the Kids Bad in the low grade classes You would have to of been really bad to show over base level then high school had a In-house policy's that amount to even less support but as my Dad was terminally ill was Blood cancer so I fell thru more cracks
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s heartbreaking how often people fall through the cracks, especially when life throws additional challenges their way. Misunderstandings about conditions like dyslexia and ADHD have left many without the support they needed. Your resilience shines through despite everything. Wishing you strength and recognition for how far you’ve come.
You are just autistic and retarded
So, holding things too lightly - dropping, spilling, flipping (accidentally)?
Yes, these are all traits of DCD
I always thought - maybe still think- my poor proprioception is due to hyper-mobile Ehlers-Danlos and the other stuff is dyslexia and/or AuDHD. I was slow to figure out how to tie my shoes, manage zippers and buttons but I can do all that now.

Not diagnosed with dyslexia until early 2000s, then only as a reading difficulty. Diagnosed ADHD this year, suggested by therapist I pursue an autism evaluation last month.
Thank you for sharing! Poor proprioception can be linked to hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), dyslexia, and AuDHD, as they can affect coordination and motor planning. It’s great to hear you’ve developed those skills over time-progress like that is a testament to your resilience and adaptability.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s not uncommon for neurodivergent traits to be recognized later in life, especially when they’re misunderstood or overshadowed by other challenges. Pursuing an autism evaluation sounds like a positive next step-self-awareness can be incredibly empowering. Wishing you clarity and support along the way.
🤩 you rock! This type of videos are amazing!! keep going!💗 🙌
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support-more videos are definitely on the way! Very best, Nat
Well done
Thank you!
Thx
^_^
It feels like I have literally no one else to turn to for advice or guidance on what this condition is and why it does what it does to me. This video is the first one to feel like it's talking to me as a person rather than diagnosing me like a patient. And I feel less alone.
I’m really glad the video resonated with you. You’re never alone-there’s a whole community of people who understand and care. Keep reaching out, learning, and advocating for yourself. You’re worthy of support and understanding.
I have just been diagnosed, and still waiting for the detailed paperwork, but a question I keep being asked is 'but you do detailed artwork, how can that be?" I dont know how to answer. I am self-taught so its possible i hold my pens and brushes in an unusual way, and I mainly work on it in very short bursts, a few brush strokes or stitches at a time. Is this common?
Thank you for sharing! It’s a common misconception that being neurodivergent means struggling with all fine-motor tasks. Many neurodivergent people excel in creative fields due to unique ways of processing and focusing. Your self-taught techniques and working in short bursts show incredible adaptability and creativity-proof that being neurodivergent doesn’t limit talent, it often enhances it in unexpected ways.
@ExceptionalIndividuals Thanks. That little bit of positivity struck me exactly when I needed it.

I have dislexia ,I spelled it like that because that’s what it sounds like to me. Also when long comments are written it’s daunting. I’m 67-and know one I have it.
Thank you for sharing. Spelling things the way they sound makes perfect sense, especially with dyslexia-it’s how many people process language. Long comments can definitely feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. It’s great that you’re open about your experience-awareness helps create more understanding and support.
i can read quite well with dyslexia becuase i got lucky i would say (got toght really yonge) but my one terrible thing is memorie and trying to read long paragraghes that am not intrested in.
Thank you for sharing! Being taught early can make a big difference, but memory challenges and reading things that don’t interest you are common dyslexia experiences. It’s great that you recognize what works and what doesn’t-finding ways to stay engaged or break tasks into smaller parts can really help.
I think a reasonable accommodation for autisim to begin with his descent human kindness. My bosses don't know I am autistic and I am the only female lead person. I get treated terrible because I am a woman but I also have a neurodivergent mind. I am also older and they are discriminating against me by helping the men, but they don't give me support and make me do all the heavy work myself. I have been at my job 20 years and have always done a good job. I would appreciate being treated as well as they treat the men. I had to start counseling because of them and now on medication because I don't know how to cope with the bad treatment.
I’m really sorry you’re going through this. No one should face discrimination, especially after years of dedicated work. It sounds like you’ve shown incredible strength despite unfair treatment. If you feel safe, consider reaching out to HR or an advocacy organisation that supports workplace equality. You deserve respect, support, and equal opportunities. Very best, Nat
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words😊
