Neurodiversity Explained

A video explaining the concept of neurodiversity using Lego.

[martinbiddell]

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!! ❤️

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

Very well done - I enjoyed watching that😍

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. 😎

[thechaostrials]

Thank you for making this. I feel a lot of shame that I just want people to acknowledge that I am autistic and that it's a real thing.

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.

Can truly relate. However, there is currently no name for my Neurodivergent brain. How can I get diagnosed?

Going to have to strongly disagree with that neurodivergent people get along easily with each other. In fact I would say it's just as hard for a (functionally) autistic person to get along with any one who is "neurodivergent", or even harder. For me it's because the majority of people I interact with are neurotypical, so over time I've learned how to "blend in" and "communicate" better.

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