    Always prided myself on my work ethic and dedication. In two separate jobs 15 years apart, i mentioned to my/other dept manager mentioning my twin was looking for a job (thinking they would of course JUMP at the chance to have another above and beyond worker) and they both just responded with anxious laughter. In the autism not severe enough category, fyi. No special requests were ever made, i hate putting people out.

    Can't get a formal diagnosis (gods know I've tried) but a medical practioner asked me if i knew I was dyspraxic about 6 years ago after she saw my flappy, floppy hands and lack of volume control. I read up on it, and it explained my entire life to me. Most motor issues were hidden by my awkward left-handedness. I get cramp in my hands when writing cos I grip too hard and curl my hand round. I was a late developer in terms of social skills and have a penchant for missing the bleeding obvious! I used to have panic attacks before every driving lesson. I was nicknamed the indestructabubble at uni for always getting into ridiculous scrapes but somehow coming out unscathed. I lost jobs due to struggling to look presentable. Ironing and hairdryers are completely beyond me. I've had broken legs/ankles (not during the uni years) from being bullied into making simple jumps that everyone else can easily do (but I was certain I couldn't. And I was right. I couldn't.) All the things I thought were character flaws, but which I seemed to have no power to improve or work on, are explained by Dyspraxia. Luckily, I have a good job now, with lovely colleagues who will look out for and quietly let me know if my top is on back to front or my trousers are inside out so I can nip to the loo and get dressed correctly. I'm more careful now. I don't ignore my limits out of frustration or a need to be normal /competent so get injured less (barely once a year now requiring medical intervention) . I layout my home in a way to avoid bumping into things and I ALWAYS trip over stuff if someone else moves it out of its "home".

    I think professionals need to come to a consensus as to what term they use and I think ASD level one is being used more and more so why not go with that and leave out Hans Asperger given his collaboration in murdering children with disabilities? I also believe in person first description, that is saying a person with autism rather than an autistic person. My son is more than just autistic he is an individual with his own personality and character. Autism isn't who he is. Autism is disease that struck him with a fever and bowel symptoms on the day he stopped looking in my eyes and stopped talking to me.

    • @ExceptionalIndividuals
      @ExceptionalIndividuals 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @davidfarlinger4088, Language is a sensitive topic in the autism community. While many prefer "person with autism," others embrace "autistic person" to affirm identity. Experiences with autism differ greatly-some see it as central to who they are, while others focus on challenges. Respecting diverse preferences is key. Very best, Nat

    I was diagnosed with adhd and autism as a kid (my dad has dyslexia) but I extremely relate to everything in this video to a painful degree. It has only been recently that I have begun to doubt whether I have dyslexia as well. I have issues with spelling even with autocorrect (I leave out words, I remember phrases wrong and I even remember phrases close but somehow wrong. Please if you can make me make sense of this 😢 Examples: 1. Remembering “stroke of luck” like “strike of luck” 2. Pronouncing lyrics (lee ricks) instead of (lie ricks) melancholy (melon cho (like choice) ly), gingham like the g in (green), and finale like (final) despite knowing this this a word spoken??? Plus many more. 3. When under pressure like my driving test I mixed up left and right, if I am able to think about it in a normal state of mind it is easier (usually little issue) but I need time. 4. When I learned Japanese I realized I remembered kanji backwards, pronunciation and writing of words was close but off by one vowel, I noticed my peers did not have this issue. Despite that I actually learned Japanese to the hardest level of the JLPT (N1) and can read novels no issue ☠️ 5. I need to reread things 3 times I literally misinterpret phrases like I will read it as “I am frustrated” and it will be “I am angry” or something 😭🤮 Also, sometimes it will be totally different from the thing I first read it as which sucks! PS: my answer for 11) was “Out of character” “out of turn” I’m doomed 🫠

    • @ExceptionalIndividuals
      @ExceptionalIndividuals 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @melodystarlyin7540, Your experiences really resonate with some characteristics of dyslexia, particularly the spelling challenges, word confusion, and issues with left-right orientation under pressure. Dyslexia often overlaps with ADHD and autism, which can make things tricky to tease apart. It's great you've already achieved so much, like passing JLPT N1! That shows your strengths despite these challenges. If you’re questioning whether dyslexia might be part of your profile, a formal assessment could provide more clarity. You're not alone in these experiences, and understanding them better could help you find strategies that work for you. Very best, Nat

  • @catzback7

    The neurodiverse don't have a problem integrating with the AI. Dyslexia invented the internet and when the AI speaks it pronounces words as if it dyslexic inspired because it is. Example Bill Gates a well-known dyslexic. "Neurodiversity did not invent the internet, but Australian sociologist Judy Singer coined the term "neurodiversity" in 1997. The term combines "neuro" from neuroscience and "diversity" to recognize that everyone's brain develops uniquely. Some common types of neurodiversity include: Autism Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Dyscalculia Dyslexia Dyspraxia, or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Estimates suggest that 15-20% of the world's population exhibits some form of neurodivergence, which is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors"

    • @ExceptionalIndividuals
      @ExceptionalIndividuals 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @catzback7, Interesting perspective on neurodiversity's relationship with AI! While it’s true that many neurodivergent individuals contribute greatly to tech and innovation (and dyslexia has influenced creative problem-solving), the origins of the internet itself are multifaceted and not tied to a single neurotype. And yes, Judy Singer coined "neurodiversity" to highlight the natural variation in how brains work. The tech world definitely benefits from this diversity of thought! Very best, Nat

    Autism is a hidden not just in the usual sense, but the individual may not be even aware they are autistic or until they get diagnosed much later in life. If you have a different skin colour, you learn from an early age why you are being discriminated against, and however reprehensible this is you may be able to develop strategies to deal with it. On the other hand with Autism, the individual may not have the vocabulary if they are discriminated against if they do not understand their condition and are often left in a state of clueless and confusion throughout their life. From my personal experience, when you do get diagnosed late in life you become aware but also have inconsolable anger with the world about how you were treated even by your own Family.

    • @ExceptionalIndividuals
      @ExceptionalIndividuals 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @AdrianRif, Thank you for sharing your perspective. You’re absolutely right-autism can be hidden not just from others, but even from the person themselves until later in life. That delayed understanding can make it difficult to develop coping strategies or make sense of past experiences, often leading to feelings of anger or confusion. It’s an ongoing journey to process and make peace with those experiences, and raising awareness can help others avoid the same challenges. Very best, Nat

    I think language play a large role in this. More specifically how your first language are written, is it phonological or not phonological. If you are born in the country were the language is phonological like me. You are less likely to get diagnos and it didn't really impact your reading and writing. You just read slower or think a bit different, not good at remembering people's names, your writing is a bit funny untill you learn this not phonological English language. Because most research focuses in English speaking country this perspective is unlikely to be consider unless a dyslexic person from a country were the language is phonological think so 😀.

    • @ExceptionalIndividuals
      @ExceptionalIndividuals 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @nandinisunito8818, You make an excellent point-language structure plays a huge role in how dyslexia is experienced and identified. Phonological languages often make reading and writing easier for those with dyslexia, which might explain why diagnoses are less common in certain countries. It’s true that much research is focused on English, and expanding the perspective to different languages could provide valuable insights into how dyslexia is understood worldwide. Very best, Nat

    aren't we all neurodiverse? the way I understand the terminology, neurodiversity is like biodiversity. the whole human race is neurodiverse. anyone who is not autistic/dyslexic etc. is neurotypical. the rest of us are neurodivergent. thanks for the book summary

    • @ExceptionalIndividuals
      @ExceptionalIndividuals 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi @tracirex, Great observation! Yes, in a broad sense, everyone contributes to "neurodiversity," much like how all species contribute to biodiversity. But as you noted, the term is often used to distinguish between "neurotypical" individuals and those who are "neurodivergent" (like autistic, dyslexic, ADHD). It’s a helpful way to talk about differences in brain function without pathologising them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Very best, Nat

      Hi @Reira1games, I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. If you think you may have Savant Syndrome and it’s causing distress, it might help to speak with a specialist who can support you in understanding your experiences. It's important to find ways to navigate any challenges and appreciate your unique abilities. Take care, Nat

      Hi @AvaBunny-o2v, That’s a great way to describe dyspraxia-it’s like having the knowledge of what to do but finding it difficult to coordinate all the steps needed to make it happen. Everyone’s experience is unique, and your analogy makes it relatable and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! Very best, Nat

    Thanks for this my son was reading at 2 years old and can read any sentence or word at the current age of 6. He hits nearly every item you mentioned. He was diagnosed with autism, and has a hard time with transitions but has a crazy memory, great at puzzles and reading. He also loves animals and knows their specific names for example a parrot would be the scarlet macaw for him. Still not sure how best to help him fully but we are working on it. Thanks for this!

      Hi @MarioMario-bl1fu, Your son sounds remarkable, and it’s great to hear that you’re so dedicated to supporting him. Those strengths-like his advanced reading, memory, and love for specifics-are fantastic assets. Transitions can be tough, but building routines and using visual supports can help. It sounds like you're doing all the right things by learning more and working with him to understand his needs. Wishing you both the best on this journey! Very best, Nat

      Hi @mitcharmstrong8327, Meares-Irlen Syndrome is indeed a topic of debate within the scientific community. While some report benefits from interventions like colored overlays, conclusive evidence is mixed, and more research is needed. It's always good to approach such conditions critically while considering individual experiences and emerging studies. Very best, Nat

      Hi @Annalorraine67, It sounds like you’ve been on quite a journey with your diagnoses. It's not uncommon for dyslexia, ADHD, and autism to overlap, and many people find that understanding all aspects of their neurodivergence helps make sense of their experiences. If you're curious about autism, seeking an assessment might provide more clarity. Wishing you the best as you explore this! Very best, Nat

    I'm 49, and I discovered I have dyslexia when I was 6 or 7 years old. Throughout my school years here in St. Louis, Missouri, I underwent annual testing, and my school provided an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to support my education. It's important to remember that having dyslexia doesn't equate to a lack of intelligence. In my case, despite having dyslexia, I was the first student in my school to be a part of the gifted program for children with above-average IQs and the classes for students with learning disabilities. As an adult with dyslexia, I rely on tools such as Grammarly for all aspects of writing, a speech-to-text tool for words that I have difficulty with their spelling, and OpenDyslexic for Chrome which is an extension, designed to enhance readability for individuals with dyslexia. This extension replaces all fonts on web pages with the OpenDyslexic font, which is tailored to improve readability by giving each letter a unique shape and a heavier bottom to prevent them from appearing jumbled.

      Hi @corm7538, Thank you for sharing your story! It's inspiring to hear how you've navigated dyslexia and found tools that work for you. Your journey shows that dyslexia is not a measure of intelligence but simply a different way of learning and thinking. Your use of assistive technology like Grammarly, speech-to-text, and OpenDyslexic is a great example of how these tools can empower adults with dyslexia. I'm sure your story will encourage others who may be looking for strategies and support. Very best, Nat

    I like having AS and do not want to 'cure' it. It allows me to have and pursue my own interests and seek out knowledge rather than being forced to just waste time doing social stuff and being unproductive.

      Hi @someuser4166, I appreciate your perspective! Many people with AS (Asperger's Syndrome) feel that their unique way of thinking is a strength, allowing them to focus deeply on their passions and knowledge. It’s great to see you embracing what makes you different and finding value in it rather than viewing it as something to "fix." Very best, Nat

      Hi @theJellyjoker, It sounds like you have a unique way of interpreting numbers through visual patterns and shapes rather than abstract concepts. Dyscalculia can definitely make traditional number sense and patterns challenging, but your skill in recognizing shapes and specific details is a great strength! Thanks for sharing how you see the world-it's a reminder that there are many ways to process information. Very best, Nat
