Why did you guys turn the comments of for the aspie video? One thing I would like to point out is that you can be nuroatypical without being aspie. I am nueroatypical but not aspie. My range of emotions is as much or more then the nueroatypical but not at the same stimulus. I have four learning disabilities that make me function differently then the entire planet. I have adoption induced add symptoms with trauma to my amygdala at birth, amblyopia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, but yet I can sculpt a bee complete with hairs, and I play music quite proficiently and have a highly developed spacial sense, time sense, and a mechanical and analytical bent that is more usually found in men. I am not put off by cleaning things that are filthy, I keep a few ornamental chickens as pets. And I only care what other people think when they can use their influence to hurt others or myself. I read and understand animals better then people. But I make and keep friends. I can survive as a street performer even though I need alot of downtime when I do that.
Yes, that's exactly why I'm here, too. :D It's a shame, that the comments under Dr. Attwoods speeches are disabled. I would've loved to engage in conversation about them. I'm sure there's a lot of people who want to share their stories. And I would've loved to read them. Besides, he helped me to understand myself better.
@@Deppability wonder why. It seems so weird to censor it. But thanks for commenting too. Maybe the fact we are both commenting will start further conversation about all of this
@@megnemo6403 I also would like to speak with him, I have many modes that enables people like us to live normal lives, before I'm immobilized I would like to share everything I've learned, when someone said you can't do that I went and achieved it. I got myself off three types of bad prescription drugs. I am the living proof that we can mentally reprogram our brains to mingle with Humans.
@@bonkey64 I'm happy you have achieved so much. All I can claim right now is I am a jerk who is upset over a wall that was stolen from me. My father gave me the wall. Then my father and half brother stole my wall. It is part of my family's home that I was cast out of by my mother as a baby. I got a chance at doing the section of it above the uncle who cheated on my Dad with my mom. My work was better. Now I get another shot because the cement used turned into sand.
Hello Meg, sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for getting in touch and appreciate your desire to have comments enabled. We'd like that too! Unfortunately as a charity with a small team we don't have the staff to be able to moderate the high volume of comments that video was receiving. Hoping you enjoyed the resource nonetheless. Thanks for your support, the GenNext team :)
