Can you imagine a world where you are the minority? | Julie Dachez | TEDxCollegeofEuropeNatolin

Very good Julie. You are so sweet and such a clever girl. I am a 71 years old Canadian lady, I am Asperger. I was not diagnosed during my whole life. That’s why I suffered so much. My diagnosis came only 2 years ago, (better late than never). Now I am proud to be different. I am retired and I study German language (my goal ? It is to master more foreign languages. I already speak French, English, Italian and a little Spanish) Of. Course I read a lot, I also play chess, I draw, I prepare myself delicious food, I travel and I go to theater and concerts. etc. And I am not afraid anymore of this terrible chaotic, wicked world around me. Thanks to this young Vietnamese doctor who told me I was not mentally deficient but simply Asperger. This changed my self-esteem forever and now I love the way I am. I am like a newly born !!! 🐣🐥 ⛅️🌤☀️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. ✌️✌️✌️

From the moment she said: "I've been observing you my whole life..." i knew this will be good.

Hi Julie! I could use French since it's my first language (I'm from Québec, Canada), but most who listened to this video understand English. I admire you a lot Julie for making Asperger better known, especially when it comes to women. I've watched everything you've put on YouTube. For a long time, I was diagnosed with depression and severe anxiety. At 18 years old, I started having fibromyalgia followed at 25 with other chronic pain diagnostics that made me more and more isolated. I really think it's how my body responded to my need to be "perfectly normal", the high anxiety started to affect me physically. I can't work and have a very limited social life. This situation most certainly explains why nobody saw and understood that I'm Asperger. I'm now 45, but the first time I was told I was most probably autistic with Asperger was in 2019 at 42 years old. The social worker made me watch one of your videos. It was such a revelation, it totally changed my life and how I perceive myself! I was happy to finally know WHY life was so difficult for me. To finally have the words to explain (to myself and others) my differences and struggles has been a life changing event. I can finally be myself! Thank you for all your beautiful work. Xxx

Such a wonderful presentation and a beautiful human being in all respects representing a misunderstood condition and an oppressed minority. After living 34 years on the spectrum I neither want to become an NT nor live in their world.

Très drôle ! Le public nt est scotché par l'angle d'étude de Julie Dachez. Bravo Julie pour ton excellent niveau d'anglais.

[ricardop.maganha]

Thank you Julie, the best TED Talk I have seen!

[theresedignard]

Wow, you are a great teacher. That encapsulates the reality from both perspectives. Thanks for sharing.

[nanahealer]

Loved it all but the part where you say : "I had time to do this and that because im on the spectrum and didn't socialize with people". People who socialize also get PhD s, are on youtube or publish books. What I mean to say is dont do what you are trying to fight in your presentation, do not stereotype people. We are all different and able to accomplish marvelous things.
Good luck Julie and thank you.

Bravo Julie, votre accent est bien meilleur que le miens (et je vis aux USA depuis plus de 20 ans...)
Julie is a person who count a lot in my life, that's while watching a video from her (on Le Monde website) that I discovered I have Aperger's syndrome.
Her video did not cure my autism problems but I finally understand (at 51 years old) what was wrong with me and why my life has been so difficult.
I now enjoy my life a lot more and I improved my relationship with others, I will be thanks full to July Dachez for the rest of my life.

First time for me hearing her in english, she speaks really well ! I like it since I already follow her in french. Bravo Julie, from Quebec xx

[Gustavogomes]

I'm just finishing reading her book La Différence Invisible translated to Portuguse because I'm Brazilian and this comic is amazing and how swettie is about this theme and how it's toxic to talk about it at work, ''friends'' and people think it's a desease or a silly thing you are creating to excuse.

[daughterofelroi]

This is so good! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[BlogdoBenOliveira]

I love your book. I'm so grateful ♥

[olivier]

Excellente présentation Julie ! Quelle réalisation personnelle et quel parcours ! Bravo. A étudier de près pour aider les autistes à se réaliser eux-mêmes... :)

[moshimoshi]

BRAVO Julie pour ton discours !! Je l'ai trouvé intelligent, drôle et émouvant.

[haddaoumthalatha]

Julie you are a beautiful personne, it hurts to look at you because I see myself... i'm not diagnostiqued. I'm 40.

[AngieBreshka]

Il n'y a aucun sous titres ! C'est ridicule surtout que Julie Dachez étant française, on va être une majorité de Français à voir cette vidéo. Et puis une vidéo qui parle handicap sans sous titres, ça crains quand même. Sinon, de ce que j'ai réussi à comprendre, super bon discours 👏. Merci beaucoup Julie.

[MegaBloodrain]

Well I've recently understood that their small talk isn't to transfer relevant information, it's a "social" necessity, they can't help but run their mouths any chance they get.

[cristinacarmona]

I totally love your TED talk. If you can tell me more info about Autism in girls since literature is so focused in Autistic boys please let me know

[dcaius]

I have to say I'm quite annoyed to see yet another video about autism published without close captions... A lot of us autistic/disabled people need subtitles. Accessibility shouldn't be a second thought :/
