I am 62 and always realised that I thought about things differently. I was diagnosed with dyslexia at 53. This was a eureka moment for me as it was like finding the missing pieces to thousands of jigsaw puzzles. But it didn't quite answer all my questions, even after seeing a wonderful dyslexia coach. But I still had so many things spinning around. I have been talking to my daughter who is also slightly dyslexic. She is taking a degree at the moment and has covered neurodiversity and she feels that I have this due to my regular obsessive attitude to some things. I have done so much research on this subject and it ticks all the boxes for me. An absolute massive moment in my life after always suffering from anxiety, depression and worthlessness. I haven't been diagnosed but I am pretty much certain this is what I suffer? from. I've now gone from severely depressed to feeling like this could be the answer to my prayers.

Brilliant video, we are currently awaiting diagnosis for ASD, ADHD, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia. This video has allowed me to explain and show my son about why he feels different to his piers. Thank you so much 👏👏👏

I very much appreciate this video. I did an EMDR Intensive with a dear client who recently received an Autism diagnosis. I wish I had shown this video. Can't wait to share this!! ❤️

Such a beautiful and easy way to put things into perspective ❤. Love it!

well done - very relatable learning - I look forward to sharing

Love this video! Will be sharing this with my 7 y.o recently diagnosed lil girl who happens to love Legos. A great way to encourage her to be herself and build an understanding of her gifted mind

Thank you for explaining this so well, I've been searching for a clear video ❤

Excellent explanation. Sharing ❤️ Thank you!

I really liked this

Will be showing this to my children, we all are ND, thank you so much for simplifying and normalising this ❤

Interesting

Excellent video!!!!!

Very well done - I enjoyed watching that😍

Excellent content 😊

Love this 👏🏻

I feel like this was a bit more about neurotypical vs neurodivergent than it was the full diversity and spectrum of it all, but a great video none the less

Thank you. I finally found a description of ‘me’. Not sure how I go forward with this knowledge though. 😎

One could add: there are things that neurodivergent people find really easy that neurotypical people find very hard, or impossible. This is an aspect frequently overlooked in discussions of neurodiveraity. Also: having only 3 women to 9 men in the examples of successful neurodivergent people is maybe not ideal. Otherwise, a good, simple explanation.

love this!

Thanks for sharing

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing!!! Thankyou #lateadhddiagnosis

❤thank you, now HOW to get the supports😢

Siuuuuuuuuu

Everyone is not different. The majority are mostly similar….neurotypical.

People don’t understand the concept of

Wow the photo sounds is really annoying

Pretty sure everyone thinks they are neurodiverse. 🙂

Agreed. It’s a gross oversimplification to say there is such a thing as a “neurotypical” brain.

Everyone IS neurodiverse. Humanity is neurodiverse. Kassiane Asasumasu coined the term and she approved the following statements: "The only appropriate and grammatically correct use of the term neurodiverse is when it’s used to describe a group of people whose members differ neurocognitively from each other. In other words, a classroom where everyone is Autistic is not neurodiverse, but a classroom where some students are neurotypical and some aren’t is neurodiverse."

That statement is not logical. Again, the term “neurotypical” is nonsensical. And to describe an entire group of autistic people as non-neurodiverse is also nonsensical. She may have invented the word, but her attempt to define it is completely flawed.

@@1101grayzer “Neurotypical” is a term that's used to describe individuals with typical neurological development or functioning. It is not specific to any particular group. For example: Autistic, ADHD, &/or AuDHD people don't have typical or average developing brains but if they did they'd likely be considered "neurotypical". Neurotypical refers to the neurology of a person, and means that the way someone is wired means they will not be likely to fall outside the local social norms. Not really nonsensical. Also, "diverse" literally means 'differing from one another'. So how would any group made up of people with the same neurotype (i.e., Autistic people) be considered neurodiverse? While we don't present traits the same way, our brain type (neurotype) is the same. That's not very diverse. Perhaps you are misunderstanding the concept.

I don’t misunderstand the concept. So much of your reply and of this terminology consists in artificially grouping individuals with some similar neurological traits together as “typical” or “average”. I agree with your statement that humanity is neurodiverse.

Nonsense

today at school we had an assembly about neurodiversity, and this was one of the 2 videos shown 👨‍🦲(idk why i used that's emoji)
