Hello there, Stephanie! Nice to meet you! How are you today? You've done a great video on a very interesting condition! Neorological conditions like apraxia should have gotten more coverage and I'm glad you're carrying that torch!

@@StephanieBethany I'm fine! Since I'm on the autism spectrum, I have a huge habit of making sure that everything that I have is put neatly! Even when it comes to my PS3 collection and my DVD copy of "The Blair Witch Project," which I always have the fear that it would skip even though I watched it multiple times and it ran fine.

This was very interesting! Love your content and appreciate your time and research. 💞

Hi Stephanie. Thank you for this video. Like you, I am having trouble finding any research or information on developmental Apraxia in Autistic Adults. Everything is geared towards CAS. It was also nice to hear that I'm not the only one who was thinking receptive language can be difficult to ascertain due to the apraxia (such as the example you gave of picking up the screwdriver to use as hammer). I am also wondering about the role of visual processing interfering with responses. I was working as a support worker at the time and i was with a non speaking Autistic woman who could communicate using a communication spelling board IF her hand was held firmly. But this was only successful with one or two people. When I attempted it she could not answer successfully even with a choice of two. However, one day I was walking in a carpark with her and she stopped at a white line, held my hand for balance, and stepped over the white line as if it was raised off the ground. (I liken it to the effect when hanging out washing and i look up at the clothes line and my eyes see more than one line in focus and i have to grasp out with my hand to find the line i was aiming at.) Anyway, after seeing this stepping over behaviour i decided to try placing the Yes/No on different walls. When I did this, she was able to accurately answer/respond every time. I then went further and placed sentences in her room spaced quite far apart. It included requests like 'i'd like a shower please' I'd like a bath'. I told her that if she wanted to tell me something she could come out and get me and take me to the sentence. About half hour later she did just that. I believe it could have been extended into so much more.

Man ..you have great information 🌟 thank you so much for breaking it down ..👍thank you.

Thank you so much! Glad I can be helpful!

Thank you very much for this accurate and informative video. We have a non-speaking child with strong dyspraxia and we are constantly meeting autism therapists, neurolgists, who actually in spite of their expertise fail to put the picture together, when it comes to understand what comes from what, because they focus on autistic traits and symptoms, forgetting the overal stong impact on the child`s reaction, that the dyspraxia has, though they know, that the dyspraxia is there. But seeing the inability to indicate things correctly (yes/no-cards f.e.), as a sign of intellectual disability, instead of a consequence of dyspraxia is the classical. Thank you so much for your work! Going to watch all your videos!

Kind of a different topic, but I am left recently trying to sort out the differences between alexithymia and psychopathy, and how they relate to whether or not a person chooses to behave ethically, has empathy (and whether or not this is a prerequisite for a person choosing to behave ethically). The stuff I can gather on a lot of this (via google searches) is a bit fragmentary and doesn't really make the "line of demarcation" all that obvious (besides one group tending to act more malevolent, and the other much less so). Well, and preferably not a distinction based on empathy, which seemingly gets more nebulous the more one looks into it. Say, "good" people have it, "bad" people lack it; but what exactly it is in the first place is seemingly a bit harder to define as it seemingly has an understanding of what it means to experience certain types emotions as a prerequisite. Or if a person can still be a good person or choose to act ethically even if they might (possibly) still be lacking in terms of empathy?... Or if a person does generally choose to act ethically, tries to treat others fairly, etc, if this implies they still have empathy in some way (even if they are not entirely sure what it is?...). Not sure if there was already a video on this topic, might have missed it or not remember it. (Have been kinda stuck in this rabbit hole recently)

Well people like me tend to be smart and we know what to do people who can’t speak well they have to use iPads or a means of communication to be able to speak because they can’t speak for themselves and you have to stick up for those people that can’t speak because you don’t know what’s running through their mind

Definitely stick up for and amplify the perspectives of those who use alternate forms of communication, yes!

thank you very much, concise and helpful

1st time viewer! ✌️ Fascinating stuff. Some random chick in Palm Springs 🌴 appreciates your content. I'm not "on the spectrum," but what you're saying clinically lines up w docs hv told me about my situation. I've experienced these different brain parts hiccuping. Lots of fun. 😳 Anywho, thanks!

So glad to have you here!

I'm wondering if this has something to do with why I sometimes grab the thing beside what I wanted to pick up. I know for sure that I have dyspraxia though. I've been extremely clumsy and had balance problems all my life.

Very good

Is it true that apraxic people my say a word that he doesn't want to say? Like he would say that this is yellow when he wants to say it's red? Is it true that an apraxic kid would point to the wrong object inspite of him wanting to point to another because he cannot control his muscles?

I love your hair!!!

Congrats 😁

I believe her autism is cured coz she can talk on camera completly on top of the level to the audience and she never stutters or lose speech or language coz i know you got more experience for yourself with knowledge and your too intelligent to makes videos im bad at making videos bc people just doesnt understand what im saying coz the way i talk the more likes of people saying i have intellectual autism and i have problems with communication, challenging behaviour and have a hard time to describe words or names coz i don't have asperger syndrome i forget words or meaning of the names that wont make sense to people so i got only autism in my mouth and that sucks im in the middle i wish i had asperger syndrome like high functioning people can talk to others but people like me with ADHD cant talk through thoughts and its called unscripted misinformation l well never be able to recieve new information like that until i get a cure for it in 2025 or bc people without autism or people with asperger syndrome are good at talking to humans and l can't interact with others coz im not good using speech or unable to interact with others thats why i need to find a cure for repititive behaviour, communication difficulties and difficulty thinking and reduce selective mutism so i can function everyday life that can get cured for that bc people with asperger syndrome have more knowledge and intelligence then me coz they know they do not have difficulties with they communication box coz a cure can remove my repetitive thinking, meltdowns and triggers, so i can talk to everybody like a intelligent man which im abnormal l stutter alot all the time like a 11 year old kid then i pause between 10 second to 15 seconds of sentences and thats not asperger syndrome sadly thats just autism spectrum disorder im level 5 which makes interacting with others challenging and traumatising for myself i just want the symptoms to disappear so my speech well be improved

this is called attention seeking disorder. whats next buzzing earlobes. oh hey i have slapahobia
