Pretend it's magic: 3 lessons to learn from neuroatypical brains | Nariman Gathers | TEDxStanford

[edwardsjarje]

My neuroatypical son teaches me what it is to be human every day. Thank you for putting it out there in such a comprehensible format.

[floydwilliams]

That was very calming, that's some really relaxed energy you got going on there.

Am I the only one who immidiately loves this person? What a soul!!

[ladysparkymartin]

I didn’t know what I was watching and was anxious at first. But your message reached me. Thank you 😊

Thank you for sharing the secret of this magic. This says so much so clearly. I have spent the last couple years re-learning my life as a network of details, intentionally setting out to learn how they work. Most of the people I interacted with were unaware of a lot of the effects they had and I struggled to find a good way to explain it.

I don't hug. Never saw the use if it and never want to. Also, it warms my heart to hear you speak of "Humans" and "Alien". I used to be alone in that and am now hearing it more and more amongst ND people.

Thank you too. I'd like to try that talking over someone and counting the amount of times to kind of make it proportionately equal. I rarely finish sentences, because interruptions are so common. I just figure that people just aren't interested and don't value my input or what I have to say and I usually leave it at that.

[amythomas]

I just adored this. The way you speak of the coping mechanisms of neuroatypical people like you and I is just beautiful. Relatable. Thank you ♥️

[elenasophie]

You’re so sympathic! Love to listen to you❤️

I never knew neuro(a)typical and neurotypical. Were things. I mean I completely missed the target with anything for social standards. I enjoyed the demeanor you kept. As well, I'd much rather have a conversation with you rather than many people i know. Back to the beginning. I never have been to therapy, I labeled myself the outlier and ran with it. Growing on all the aspects which others seemed hesitant to address. I'm okay, and not okay. But I strongly believe I'm more okay than a lot of people whom are "more okay" than me.

For some reason I thought that, I was the only person whom knew about looking at the bridge of people's nose. I have also found that usually people can't tell the difference of where the focus of my eyes are. Where can I get more information about neuroatypical brains? I feel like I am not of this planet. Thank you so much for this video. I relate with everything you said, except for therapy. I realize I need it.

[rozalina]

So interesting and informative thank you angel

[dmitryparamzin]

Thank you Nariman, it is encouraging to feel that there are other aliens around. Agree with what have being said. Only issue is that for some of us maintaining communication interface with earthlings is so exhausting and drains energy so intensively that it loses any sense.
