Get rid of the distracting, unrelated music. In what way does that fit with autism? I can't watch this.

Is this for adults as well? 45 years old?

Hey, your voice audio is coming through much louder on the left than the right. Could be the setting on the mic/speaking mostly into the left side of the mic, or could be something else... just a heads up.

Seems like your bias has made you miss the point.

Implementation is: BE BETTER PEOPLE. It works. 😉

great video! thanks for posting.

Not slow. Just not emotionally knee-jerking. You're welcome.

yeesh, wasn't ready to hear my synapses didn't get pruned right and that's why it's a fricking bees nest in here. Creepyyyy!!! Also, I am definitely slow a bit lol. Unless I'm talking about dogs, then I'm still dumb but oh so fast lol.

You are trying to use a technicality to get around the fact that I need a moment more than a NT, the fact is I can be very slow in certain situations, expect me to need a long break if you ask me a question that I have no pre-programmed answer for. What we need is for the unkind people to understand the answer might be worth the wait, not a nonsense technical argument over how a normal person use the word slow, because you are always going to lose that one.

ive always used analogys like a computer with too many tabs in, or some other buffering thing where you just need to give it a bit more time instead of keep clicking or what not,, so im really glad theres a scientific thing going on to explain it on a more technical level!

Telepathy, seriously? We struggle to read facial expressions and body language but mind reading no problem. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I notice you talk very slowly. Is this something you learned from working with people who process things slower? I find it helps me understand things better.

Having both Autism and adhd is such a struggle sometimes. It feels like I have two minds and they're always at war with each other.

It is difficult, because it's overwhelming for us to make eye contact, but for neurotypical people it helps them to know we're listening. I find a good compromise is looking at the persons mouth instead. This also helps with my audio processing.

The only person I'm comfortable making eye contact with is my partner. For my autism, eye contact feels very intimate and intense and that intimacy is something I'm only comfortable sharing with my partner. With anyone else it feels overwhelming and almost violating to have someone look directly into my soul and I into theirs.

Can you teach more social skills like this please?

Yes, I'm slow. I process information slower. Slow isn't a bad thing and it shouldn't be synonymous with stupid.

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!! I have referred many people to your TH-cam page including family, friends, teachers, therapists, other parents of neurodivergent kiddos…. You are one incredibly special person!!!! I can’t thank you enough for all that you’re putting out into the world and making available for those of us less educated. I know you’re touching lives you are unaware of, and I pray you never stop doing what you are so clearly born for!! Thank you!!! A million times, THANK YOU!!

Dr. Greyson, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine has said that NDE suggests that the mind can function without the brain. th-cam.com/video/5KhtRnbl8ZE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=UVAEngagement

Did you know that Stranger Things is based on US government studies into remote viewing, telepathy and the likes? Project Stargate was set up to counter suspected Russian attempts at remote viewing.

I’m sorry if this is off topic or may come off as ableist, but I truly wish there was a cure for autism. People say they may never be a cure but that doesn’t mean research shouldn’t stop because of it. I have so many bad memories that play in my head from my childhood from my autism, I know there’s someone out there that wants to have autism for some reason, which I find silly due to the fact that it’s a disability and your at a disadvantage compared to neurotypicals. All I want in life is having loyal friends and people that would stick by me. I’m tall, good looking (when I take care of myself) but none of that can be put to use because of my autism. Not trying to victimize myself but there’s no other way to put it, I want everyone that judges me and criticize me for being “ableist” to deal with a burnout or a shutdown episode for a month and see how it feels

Vary well said

You didn't actually answer your own question. Yes, it seems that Powell was suspended as she chose to see' patients remotely, and that deemed as putting her patients in danger of harm. Seems a bit ad homenim to me.

I think the subtle cue point is valid, and a thought that has also occurred to me. That said, I think it is vital to disambiguate "evidence" and "proof", where "evidence" is a fact or alleged fact that tends to lend support to a proposition, whereas "proof" is an unambiguous fact or set of facts that leave no option other than the truth of the proposition. No scientist should accept "evidence" as "proof", but should not, and cannot, exclude evidence based only on their own gut sense of what constitutes "evidence" unless there is PROOF that the type of evidence is invalid. So, anecdotal evidence is SUSPECT due to the uneven history of its ultimate utility in proofs, but should not be per se excluded because ALL proofs come from anecdotes that rise to the level of proof after harder interrogation. Yeah?

The description that "the mother holds the device" is simply not consistent with the description in the actual podcast. So, if we are to be evidence based, where is your evidence, other than your OWN [mis]interpretation, that such is UNIFORMLY the case?

I've been watching the original Star Trek episodes recently and this sounds like something they'd have come up with if autism was prevalent at the time so I'm immediately skeptical. 😂 That being said I think it's more likely autistic people (speaking or non speaking) are just hyper observant, I know I am. And from personal experience? If nonspeaking autistics could communicate telepathically I'd have found out while working with the first little girl I was one on one with in a school- we were SO connected and SO in sync (and both autistic) that if this was a thing I think I would have discovered it then.

I started listening to this podcast series and was shocked at how uncritical much of the commentary online has been. Refreshing to see someone with an informed perspective making these points! I believe you're being too measured, though. I haven't looked at the videos myself, but from reading other people's description of them, it doesn't sound like the experiments are meaningfully different from faciliated communication, which has been widely discredited. What's different about these experiments that makes them interesting?

“Positive” dehumanisation is still dehumanising. Caretakers are already prone to overlaying a version of their own creation over their children’s personalities. If you add to that the temptation of not having to grieve over a disabled child (by making them, super-abled) and the blanker slate of a non-verbal autistic child, I fear any potential for scientific rigor goes out the window. I will also say this; as a verbal autistic child I got very good very quickly at reading what adults wanted from me. There’s an awareness of being lacking, a desire to please, and a capacity for attention to detail that makes you able to put things together -even if they don’t make sense to you- that could be misconstrued as being “psychic” in some way.

Damn that's me

Happy new year friend

Really helpful advice. Thank you!

*confused* The video and sound difference might as well be a baseball bat to my head as a ND. Creepy.

People who say that have clearly never played sonic adventure 2

Trying to disinfect 4 years of neurotical torture

I literally have to disinfect myself after masking having to think like them to get back to better

If you thought like me you would see how nuerotypix thought processes slow you down mindlessly

Who collect peoples fingers to put them down on the floor.

That one about needing to have things explained reminded me of when my mom told me that she *always* explained why we needed to do something when I was a kid, because she hated her parents never explaining stuff to her as a kid and me realizing how much that helped me. She still explains stuff now if I don't get it (or sometimes even if I do, haha).

✊🏾 welp

My brain really depends on analogies and metaphors in explanations of new information. Which type of thinking is that?

That's awesome thank you

❤

Seriously…. Is there anything you do that isn’t spectacularly incredible?!

What an incredible breakthrough! Congratulations, and great work! I can’t imagine how proud you are, and how proud he is of himself… all thanks to you!

Thank you!! This page is what tuned me in that my son's struggles were not "just a defiant little boy" but that he was autistic! I will forever be grateful!!

Omg I think this is my son!!!! Omg omg omg. I’ve been trying to tell his speech therapist and teachers that I think he has OCD because of the way he does things over and over and has to do them a certain way or gets very upset. He is completely non verbal so no words but it’s the way he does things physically with his toys or music. He is making some progress with his AAC but not a lot. He does like to press the same things on his aac over and over. If anything on his device is changed he gets upset. He also can hum along to songs. So many things you said sound like him. He watched the same videos over and over and he creates little things he does everytime a certain part of the video comes on. I think he could be gestational learner!

As for me, I confirm that I'm slow. Sometimes I try to compensate it by hurrying up, which makes things even worse :(

I teach English to Chinese primary school students It takes about 800~ hours of comprehensible input in English (class + language they understand because of the class). They limit me to 1 hour per week of class time, groups of 3. In theory it would take ……. Manyyyyyyyyy years to learn the language. Thankfully, I have a supremely efficient method for quickly establishing the foundations of English AND of language acquisition skills, PLUS there is an enormous amount of English media they can consume on their own. Is there such a library for the kind of input these students need? So that the instructor can turn them into self efficacious independent learners and then lead them to have progress at home through their caretakers? Can the caretakers be trained (that’s the ideal situation)? It’s a fascinating topic! I’m about to launch my own teaching project on TH-cam so I’ll keep an eye on how you do it too!!! ❤

Is there any possible chance you could make a video about this same subject, but how to adapt for this in a home setting? My family struggles with this very topic so much it’s an every-single-day problem that can quite literally ruin the entire day, and subsequently destroys my son emotionally for quite some time. Until seeing this video, I couldn’t even put into words what was happening, or describe it to somebody who could! I was would cut off my legs for some guidance on how to deal with an 8 year old boy (who seems to live on the cliff of rage) who refuses to clean up after himself in any way, or do any regular life tasks without 100% support, or losing his mind altogether and has a melt down of epic proportions. I am by no means blaming him! I know this is my problem to address with everybody, but I don’t know how! HELP PLEASE!!! Thank you so much for everything you’ve put out for us all to learn from!! You’re making positive changes in the world that it needs so badly!!
