- What is neurodiversity?
This video covers...
What is neurodiversity?
What neurological conditions does it encompass? (such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, Tourette's syndrome)
What is it like to be neurodiverse or neurodivergent?
How can neurodiversity be supported in the workplace?
Im neurodivergent but i have no disorder like autism or adhd. I got diagnosed by autism but when i went to specialists, they said i had only some characteristics of autism, and neurodivergent thinking styles. Feels alone still
Yeah, same. I know what you mean.
Sarah and Kenrick, I wonder if you have what I have which is "Broad Autism Phenotype". It is just off the spectrum but has many of the characteristics just milder. My kids are high functioning autistic or Aspbergers and I was tested and diagnosed with Broad Autism phenotype and add inattentive which shows up differently in adult women. You are not alone ladies. I was 52 when I was finally diagnosed.
@@weedandwildflowers I'm a guy, but that sounds interesting. Maybe one day, I can find out.
@@kenrickbautista6141 I am sorry for saying ladies. I should have checked the names a little more. The fact that it shows up differently in adult women doesn't mean that it couldn't also be affecting you. And the broad autism phenotype is not gender-specific. There's a lot of overlap in anxiety, ADHD, autism, and OCD. They often get diagnosed for each other. Keep advocating for yourself until you feel you've got the diagnosis that's the best fit for you. I personally think diagnosis can be important because then we can get the right treatments and we can find the right people to support us because they understand.

Thank you for the kind teaching moment!!!
Broad Autism Phenotype --
and Neurodivergent ...more research projects!! (been away from therapy a long time).
--> From a 73 yo woman diagnosed w/simple depression in my 30's by a very narrow-minded doctor.
I went on to other doctor(S) until (high-functioning) Aspergers was finally called ...but not until my late 50s. [ Such a waste of a Life ].
Unfortunately, my "dear family" refused to let me "out of the box they had put me in". It was more comfortable & convenient to continue calling me the Family "TROUBLEmaker" than to accept my diagnosis. So, no support & no growth. Just their ongoing arrogant mindset from which I more & more often would simply distance myself.
HEAVY (LONELY) S I G H ....
I am comforted, these days, tho, knowing that mental health issues are publically discussed,& hopefully, others like me will not have such wasted, frustrating lives ...
"I could'a been a contender..."
!!!!!!!!
Anyway, as we said in the 60s...
KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!
and
KEEP THE FAITH, BABY!!!
Big fan of how you put the attention on the positive sides of being neurodiverse!
Thank you for providing the tool to help me start a conversation at my workplace! Truly grateful.
Happy to help!
Absolutely fabulous communication! THANK YOU!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how you've simplified this video. Anyone can understand it.
Thanks for your kind comment! Really pleased it's worked for you
This is an excellent communication of what is meant by neurodiverse.
Appreciate your comment, thank you!
Great explanation. I love how you focused on the positives and what we CAN do and not just on the difficulties. Thanks!!
Wrong. She should have focused on the positives as well as the negatives. That would be more realistic. But being realistic is too offensive for most people now a days
Wow i never thought of that before. I mean this information will definitely help for this Autism Awareness Month.
We agree, we hope it helps everyone interested or involved in this space
This describes 90% of my students. Great explanation!!
Highly informative, clear to understand, looking forward for more
Awesome, thank you!
What an excellent video!
I watched this video but I couldn't get my head around what it was saying. I must be neurodivergent.
Great information awesome video 🙌
Thanks i'm using this for a SAC
With Gratitude!
Blessed Be!
Hi Amanda, our pleasure, glad you liked it! :-)
@@DifferingMindsthat's crazy that you assumed her name was Amanda. What if it's an Arabic man named Aman Daz Eller
thank you for this video very imformative
By the way, I "Liked" and "Subbed."
Wow! Thankyou.very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good very nice video
Thank you!
I’m bipolar. Some of my subordinates at work say I don’t understand neurodivergence. I’m the boss and i don’t want to diminish their struggles. It’s really taxing for me.
This is such a beautiful explanation! So Glad its being normalized - Calming Cow - Neurodiverse Sensory Video
Does any of this sound familiar to you?
Sometimes I hear running water as music, sometimes different wavelengths of light sound different. When the never ending buzz in my head changes frequency, I feel the tingling in my body also change. It’s sort of like a feeling of something sliding out from under me. There is always something. In my world; the sound of silence is indeed “the roar of silence”
None of this bothers me, it’s just the way it’s always been.
In my youth I was surprised to discover it’s not that way for everyone. One of my elders explained it to me by saying “if from birth we hit you in the head every morning with a ball peen hammer, the day we stopped doing it; you’d think there was something wrong”
Maybe that’s what they did.
It’s an old expression “we learn to live with what we can’t rise above”
Neurodivergent people need accommodations, and neurotypical people are already biologically accommodated for me
Thanks for making this video so short 😂
I was born in and brought up in a foreign culture - Thailand. I'm an MK (missionary kid) and considered a third culture kid. I don't have ADHD or Autism, however, always feel very different with different thought processes. Throughout my younger years, I constantly gravitated to making friends from different countries only. Does this mean I'm neurodivergent?
I kind of wish that videos about neurodiversity would explain that it is a political and sociological construct and not a medical one. There is no way to meet the needs of someone on Level 3 of the autism spectrum simply by "removing barriers".
Wow. I guess I’m a neurodivergent now. I thought I was normal😢
How can I obtain permission to use this video on my website? I would like to have as a tool for newly diagnosed parents.
Hi Jenny, our last reply was deleted for some reason. If this is still the case, get in touch at hello@differingminds.co.uk
Jenny. I hope this is okay and I'm not trying to take away from this person's video but I am also neurodiverse and I'm starting making a TH-cam podcast on what life looks like from the perspective of somebody that is neurodiverse. I also have other roles that I play to other Neurodiverse people. my sons are both autistic and so is my ex-husband and I'm pretty sure my dad is too. So I've grown up around it my whole life and have seen it from different roles. And one of the audiences that I thought could benefit from this is parents and teachers. it's one thing to know the technical aspects of it, this video did a great job explaining that! What I'm hoping to do is come at it more from how do we view things, what do we need from people, what troubles do we run into, what would we like people to know and how could they make things easier for us. If this is something you think you could use, I'd love to get in touch and see if it might be useful for you. I've just made the first to podcasts on my TH-cam channel.
I have to say I'm very pleased to see all the positive comments here.
so I have depression, OCD, anxiety, etc. would this mean I'm neurodivergent?
We used to just say .. they got the artistic gene from momma .. now it’s neurodivergent.. and everyone is autistic now too ..
Let's do this rainbow 🌈 brains 🧠
We think different... That puts it mildly?It is my xperience that what our brains are capable of, represents the beta version of the complete overhauling of the human CPU and BIOS. Time and again I clash with workers in public utillities. Always because of a typical defensive attitude that gets the lead in the way a serviceprovider behaves him/herself to me when we are engaging into the mutual investigative phase of a validation assessment to determin weather we meet each other's criteria for engaging in a mutual benificial interaction.

How the hell can 1 of every 7 people be neurodi... Autocorrect doesn't know that word... But you know what I mean... Anyways, how can 1 of 7 be that if 1 out of 5 is already dyslexic?
one person can have more than one condition
Hi Ben, as you say further research is being done that shows the number may be more like 1 in 5. This number is likely to change over time as we all learn more about neurodiversity. That's why we made sure to say 'approximately one in seven' in the video when it was originally made 🙂
Diet and chemicals and genetics.
wait am i??
I just found I’m neurodiverse
Pleased for you, hope it helps you on your journey!
*neurodivergent
But congratulations! I hope your diagnosis brings you more understanding and support!
Neuro Virgins unite!
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this, very clear and very helpful and precise explanation and presentation. Obviously very talented, I'll have a look for you on Instagram, good luck 💕
