For sure! I remember my teacher told me I "wouldn't even smell a C" on the science GCSE exam and wanted to put me on the basic exam instead. My parents had to sign a waiver saying they understood that it wasn't on the school if I failed and put me in for the advanced exam. I got As on the GCSE. I sometimes wonder, now I'm an adult, whether that teacher told me what he did because he knew I could do better and wanted to activate my stubborn mode, or if he really did think I was just going to do badly... I like to think it was the first...
God loves us all so much that he gave his perfect son to die for our sins and raised him from the grave to defeat death. Through faith in JESUS we can be saved and reconciled to GOD. please repent🙏♥️🔥
My nephew was told he would only be smart for stackin tin in tesco, he's now a professor of astro physics at Leicester University, it's just ignorance on some teachers!!!!
That is truly amazing, to go from one extreme to the other . What an inspiration your nephew must be , just like this doctor. Your family must be so proud 🥲👏
I was told my son would never have the mentality of a 2 year old. Ha, he joined the Army, went to culinary school, and then went to college to become an engineer. He's now 39 years old, married with 3 beautiful kids and has an amazing job as an engineer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

But remember, even shelf stackers are important and needed. Not everyone wants to be a high flyer, some just want a nice quite simple life. 🇬🇧
My English teacher told me I'd amount to nothing. I dropped out of school at 13 and I was a published author by 17. You really shouldn't put too much stock in what others tell you. It's useful to take note of, occasionally, but the reality is that nine tenths of people really barely register anything outside of how it pertains to their own subjective experience and understanding of the world. Empathy is supposed to be the thing that separates us from other animals but regrettably few humans seem to actually possess it.
I know someone who lost an eye as a kid from playing archery with friends, you can’t really tell unless he’s looking way to one side and the prosthetic doesn’t move quite as far over. These eye prosthetics today are truly amazingly realistic!
@@inceptionsd I’m sure most people would xD nonetheless if I were to be so unlucky to lose it I’m glad to know that science has come so far so that it wouldn’t be visible (no pun intended) to everyone all the time
My 24 year old was diagnosed as dyspraxic, add and later autism, very mild, his IQ was really high but he was always told he wouldn't achieve much ,he passed all his gcse's with A's and B's, was an excellent actor getting into the national youth theatre aged 14, he now has a BA in politics, philosophy and economics and this summer his Masters in law. This boy will go far, his mother is amazing.
I’m 23 with autism, I ended up failing GCSE’s because everyone expected so much from me as I was a gifted child I was so burnt out by the time I was a teenager things and expectations were thrown at me from different angles. I’m retaking them now but it’s so hard to even find/get a job, I hope one day I won’t have to worry anymore. And I didn’t have any support network from anyone.
Probably because your child doesn’t have a single actual thing wrong, and you’re just looking for an answer why you can’t raise a kid… Stop looking for diagnoses and live your life
I’m stunned that the Doctor has ADD: I’m retired now, but my life has been blighted with by what I now is ADD and Aspergers after being diagnosed in my 50’s. I really can’t imagine how he managed to study for exams.
It’s possible never give up! I have an art degree i have ASD,my daughter has a law masters,she has dyslexia ,and shows many traits of ADHD.All the best ❤
I'm 48 and was diagnosed with ADD and ASD last year. I struggled with work and relationships and was always at the bottom rung of the career ladder. Prescribed Medication for ADD since diagnosis has been life-changing for me. I'm now (finally!) able to start building my career, and luckily my workplace has seen my potential and has been supportive. Medication doesn't work for everyone, but it can often help greatly with focus. It's never too late :)
@@GalacticRadioNoiseI have add since I was 5 Been on meds till my 30s finally I said it's bothering me so no more meds 😅 but I agree it's not for everyone at all including the side effects
I was always in the top stream at school, and the teachers were always baffled why I did so badly with numbers. I didn’t know at the time that I was any different to my peers, only that I couldn’t make sense with numbers. The only way that I can work with them at all is to make numbers into colours and patterns, and I didn’t know that was not normal. I cannot take in information at first, it has to be repeated over and over again until a sort of muscle memory kicks in. This has blighted my life as I know people are losing patience, so I always pretend to understand and go away and try to make sense of it. It has been a really bad struggle to cope not understanding, and the embarrassment in front of people. I’ve been on ant-depressants most of my life. I’m anxious and avoid people. I have retired now and I can feel myself reverting back to my safe inside, not having to pretend, not having to constantly, watch people and fit in, not wonder what the right thing to say is. I know people have always thought I’m weird. It’s horrible.
Wow, I so glad that he is ok and his eyesight wasn't damaged. James is a sweet heart, so articulate and talented. His Mother is amazing and so supportive, she's a beautiful person
I've got dyslexia and was constantly told throughout my childhood that I'm stupid. I cried a lot back then and felt humiliated. Well, it didn't prevent me from getting a degree, learning a foreign language and moving to another country (but, let's face it, later on I needed quite a lot of psychotherapy to recover from that trauma). Yeah, I need to work harder than the people around me, but I learned to work harder and not give up. Currently, I can even combine a full-time job and an art side hustle and feel more successful and fulfilled than most of my neurotypical classmates!
Yeah, a lot of more recent studies show that it's more of a communication difference than a communication deficit. People with autism struggle to communicate with neurotypicals, and it goes both ways. But people with autism and ADHD tend to communicate better with one another. The majority of my friends have autism or ADHD just because I find that it's a lot easier to communicate with them.
I like to call myself Neurospicy❤ I have Asperger’s and ADHD so this hit home. And it is true that “Neurodiversity hangs together.” I love it. And Dr. Ian is such a wonderful human❤❤❤❤
This doctor is amazing and I’d be happy to have someone who tries his hardest to be good than someone who just thinks they are the smartest in the world because everything was easy for them.
What a wholesome video. Just pure lovely, everyone in it demonstrated their own unique way of overcoming adversity. I’m so glad James is doing well and didn’t lose sight in his eye! I was so scared for him
What a beautiful heart and soul that doctor hss and he IS a role model and he IS an inspiration, he and his family should be IMMENSELY proud! Shame on that teacher and other like them, they shouldn't be in that profession, they should encourage children to follow their dreams no matter how big, not bring them down at a time when they need the most encouraging! ⭐
What a charming young man James is! I hope that his future holds many wonderful experiences. His mother and the doctor are wonderful, too. Wishing all of them the best in life.
Also the best teachers are the ones who believe in their students and let them know that they believe in them. Breaks my heart when I hear of people who were told by their teachers that they would fail, I was and it hurt me. The one teacher who told my whole class and is individually that we were all A students, was the only subject I got an A in 💁♀️
He walked into one that was stuck in the target, it’s one of the most common archery injuries, happened to someone on a competition recently here. Its mostly caused by people not following instructions, being reckless or distracted and walking directly at the target into the arrows instead of along the side when they’re close to it. The video didn’t explain it too well.
@@rooroo9216 nurse fella said "I've got a 15 y.o who has lent forward onto a static arrow" I understand WALKING into an arrow, but this is just a case of an autistic child harming themselves, not really related to archery safety at all!
@@rooroo9216 certainly would be very painful indeed, however the nurse would not have described it in that manner unless he was told that directly by the patient themselves or somebody that witnessed the incident
@@UnimportantAcc It was clearly still accidental, he has likely been up looking at the target and leant in to inspect something without noticing a protruding arrow, or he knew the arrow was there and just misjudged his lean. I did the exact same thing and got the exact same injury when I was his age, except I was leaning in to a fence to look at a bee and didn't notice a metal rod protruding from it (the fence, not the bee). Stabbing that eye is one of the worst pains I've ever experienced, it was so painful and so immediately crippling, you instinctively clench both eyes shut tightly to the point that you hear blood sloshing around in your ears like white noise, so it's as if your two most important senses are going haywire initially. You ever want to stop a bad guy just fuck up one of their eyes - they won't continue the fight like you see in the movies.
James seems like a very kind and nice kid and doesn't let negativity get him And the doctor is a great example of using negativity as motivation to prove others wrong. Hope James is doing well
Great Job James! So glad everything turned out ok. You are blessed. Good luck in the future writing and telling wonderful and exciting stories. Look forward to reading them and watching the movies they make from your creative mind. Take care!!
I was told at school that I would only be a laborer, well my first job was a tractor driver. I went onto to drive all kinds of earth mover, including tunnel boring machines. I retired after a career of working in 10 countries as a Senior Inspector of Works. The doctor also proved the point, never pre judge. James will also prove he has it in him just waiting to burst out. So glad it turned out to be a minor injury.
Archery is a very safe sport. If done at a club and everyone listens to the safety instructions. I am an archer and autistic. I can say that archery is a very safe sport. Also always stand at the side of the target when you pull arrows. At first I thought it would be someone shooting in the garden.
Same here, been doing it for the least 4 years or so too. There’s much more dangerous sports too, there’s an element of danger in a lot of sports or anything in real life ever really
It just goes to show that often enough exams don’t often count, it’s they way you portray yourself and the dedication you have, it’s a hard struggle but it’s often worth it, all 3 of them as well as those others in the world can surely be proud of themselves, I hope this boy has no recurrences later in life due to his accident
My dad who has autism was told he would grow up and spend most of his life in prison, even though he never committed any crimes. He became a computer engineer before the accident. He’s a brilliant man.
I love this. Everyone was so supportive to each other on so many levels and honestly just goes to show even if you have a condition like ADHD or Autism that you CAN be something grate. The Dr was purely amazing and the mom so loving and supportive of her son. The son has such a bright and uplifting spirit and I do hope he pursues his dreams. I’m going to start school this fall for my Biology Doctoral and I have ADHD and Autism. It’s hard when you are told you can’t and won’t because you think differently and just have a different way of well existing. But this made me smile and to everyone out there that is going through something similar don’t give up! You got this!
I was always told in my archery club to stand at the side of the target when removing arrows, also of course everyone would collect their arrows at the same time so that nobody was shooting at the time
Yeah I remember they also said look behind you when they pull them out in case anyones behind you. A guy cut his head and was bleeding in a competition here not too long ago, he did the same thing as this kid.
My partner has add and my cousins son and my friend has autism, I cabt believe this how much pain he must have been in, To only get away with a damaged eye lid is a miracle
As a kid, my mom was told I would likely never drive a car. The psych called it "perceptual communication disorder," which I was never told, and she refused an IEP for me at school. 20 years later, a friend asked if I was autistic which led to cracking open my childhood psych eval and finding out all of this had been hushed up. I'd spent 24 years of my life believing I was stupid and a failure. Turns out I'm just autistic. And as luck would have it, I own 4 cars, one of which I race, and I work in an auto repair shop. Weird Italian cars ended up as my biggest special interest, which means this "stupid girl" who would never drive has dedicated her life to driving. I don't think I could ever be an ER doctor, I'll stick to broken cars😂
Thank you sir. My daughter is dyslexic. I think maybe ADD as well. I'm most likely the same. But I managed to get a bachelor of education. I hope my daughter will also achieve her academic goals in the future. She has talked about being a Dr before. She's 9 now.
Fellow dyslexic here! That nurse is spot on! I had so many people tell me I’m dumb, stupid, worthless…. Had a teacher tell my mom I’d be fine with a 5th grade education bc they “couldn’t” help me… lmao jokes on them I graduated HS got into tattooing. Open my own tattoo shop! Been succeeding ever since. Don’t let people tell u “you can’t.”
The moral of the story is not to never do archery but to follow safety instructions, you’re always told to approach the target from the side so you can never walk at an arrow and when pulling it out to ensure that it’s clear
To all with learning difficulties and special needs never listen to people who put us down we are stronger than anyone else I have adhd and just got my letter to say that I'm on the waiting list xxxx fingers crossed 🤞
This kind of archery accident only happens if someone isn't listening or the instructor doesn't know what their doing. He lent forward onto an arrow stuck in a target???
@@COZZIELIVSCOOKIN they said it was a holiday activity but either way point still stands. Improper instruction or no instruction at all or wasn't listening to the instructor or just completely clueless
yeah I'm so confused what they meant by lent forward onto an arrow, like how does that even happen. The only thing I can think of is that he was going to get the arrow but then tripped up and fell forward onto it. Such a bizaare accident.
@@bec1482 even that would have been avoided as any good instructor tells you to stand at the side of the target and pull it out straight with no one in the way
Weirdly my 9 year old Grandson as Autism and went on a overnight adventure and the climbing he was fine with but Archery he refused to be part of it saying it's dangerous and could kill you or blind you .. Unfortunately his big cousin had to pick him up from there because he wouldn't cope sleeping in a strange place youth hostel 💜🙏💜 hope you're son is going to be fine bless him
This precious Doctor sure did prove his teacher and the others wrong.
Eating a lot of crow! I truly hope those that said those things about him watched this…..to see how wrong they were!
Which is awesome.

I mean yeah but not by a considerable amount since doctors in the UK only get £14 an hour and the NHS is in a shambles right now

It’s hard when you are told you can’t and won’t because you think differently and just have a different way of well existing. But this made me smile and to everyone out there that is going through something similar don’t give up! You got this!
Dammmnnnn... Mom is a looker!
What a group of amazing people.
❤ What a wonderful episode that brings many things in perspective ...❤
You should be so very proud of yourself young man ❤
Such a wonderful doctor and beautiful boy...loved it when he said "whst its taught me is that i shouldn't do archery" 😂!!!! Soooo adorable! Xxx
I was always told in my archery club to stand at the side of the target when removing arrows, also of course everyone would collect their arrows at the same time so that nobody was shooting at the time
Yeah I remember they also said look behind you when they pull them out in case anyones behind you. A guy cut his head and was bleeding in a competition here not too long ago, he did the same thing as this kid.
So glad it wasn’t more serious!
Rango! The “bird with the arrow in its eye”
That poor fellow. How dangerous was that? Whew!
Wow what a sweet man. ❤
Man i wish there was a show with out all added drama .
I am not crying, you are.
That Doc reminds me of the serie The Good Doctor ❤
God bless this child!
When I was 3 I stood on a nail went straight through my foot.
My partner has add and my cousins son and my friend has autism, I cabt believe this how much pain he must have been in, To only get away with a damaged eye lid is a miracle
I'm glad that your ok young man.👍🇬🇧
As a kid, my mom was told I would likely never drive a car. The psych called it "perceptual communication disorder," which I was never told, and she refused an IEP for me at school. 20 years later, a friend asked if I was autistic which led to cracking open my childhood psych eval and finding out all of this had been hushed up. I'd spent 24 years of my life believing I was stupid and a failure. Turns out I'm just autistic. And as luck would have it, I own 4 cars, one of which I race, and I work in an auto repair shop. Weird Italian cars ended up as my biggest special interest, which means this "stupid girl" who would never drive has dedicated her life to driving. I don't think I could ever be an ER doctor, I'll stick to broken cars😂
Thank you sir. My daughter is dyslexic. I think maybe ADD as well. I'm most likely the same. But I managed to get a bachelor of education. I hope my daughter will also achieve her academic goals in the future. She has talked about being a Dr before. She's 9 now.
Fellow dyslexic here! That nurse is spot on! I had so many people tell me I’m dumb, stupid, worthless…. Had a teacher tell my mom I’d be fine with a 5th grade education bc they “couldn’t” help me… lmao jokes on them I graduated HS got into tattooing. Open my own tattoo shop! Been succeeding ever since. Don’t let people tell u “you can’t.”
You mean the doctor?
Get well soon buddy 💪🙏
Glad he is Ok.
The moral of the story is not to never do archery but to follow safety instructions, you’re always told to approach the target from the side so you can never walk at an arrow and when pulling it out to ensure that it’s clear
To all with learning difficulties and special needs never listen to people who put us down we are stronger than anyone else I have adhd and just got my letter to say that I'm on the waiting list xxxx fingers crossed 🤞
Still not quite sure how this happened. Shot archery for years and never saw any eye injuries. Were they shooting at each other rather than targets?
This kind of archery accident only happens if someone isn't listening or the instructor doesn't know what their doing. He lent forward onto an arrow stuck in a target???
How do you know it was an archery class? People do archery as a common pass time. Anyone can buy a bow and arrow.
@@COZZIELIVSCOOKINbecause the mother spoke of them being a joining in of an activity which implies formality.
@@COZZIELIVSCOOKIN they said it was a holiday activity but either way point still stands. Improper instruction or no instruction at all or wasn't listening to the instructor or just completely clueless
yeah I'm so confused what they meant by lent forward onto an arrow, like how does that even happen. The only thing I can think of is that he was going to get the arrow but then tripped up and fell forward onto it. Such a bizaare accident.
@@bec1482 even that would have been avoided as any good instructor tells you to stand at the side of the target and pull it out straight with no one in the way
Hi, I hope it's okay to ask, could you please add a warning for the flashing images in this video please? Thank you so much! I'm so glad he's okay now
Strong boy . I would be freaking out .
Gorgeous brave boy...
Weirdly my 9 year old Grandson as Autism and went on a overnight adventure and the climbing he was fine with but Archery he refused to be part of it saying it's dangerous and could kill you or blind you .. Unfortunately his big cousin had to pick him up from there because he wouldn't cope sleeping in a strange place youth hostel 💜🙏💜 hope you're son is going to be fine bless him
