  1. She sounds like a bad person in general and a person that is terrible at her job. Who calls an 8 year old dumb, sorry but that is a very dumb thing that teacher said.

  2. I love how they describe ADHD as a mental disorder, disability, disfunctional, unlikable, underachieving excuse of human being while Asperger's are described as all geniuses, misunderstood, exceptional people that the world must never change but the world must change to adjust to them. The fact is: ADHD is a brain that has a problem filtering inputs, all the rest are symptoms and adaptations stemming from that exact one issue And the autistic spectrum is a brain that is over filtering signals, not as inputs but during processing time., all behaviours stem from that. The two are so very close, but one is so supported, and the other is making people fair targets to be dehumanised. Asperger's are just different and must be accepted ADHD have a mental disorders and must be changed Asperger's is not a disease and can not be cured ADHD must take medication and go to therapy as soon as possible to stop what they are Asperger's are "geniuses" ADHD are failures at school Those are absolutely wrong, absolutely demoralising, absolutely dehumanising, and absolutely bias, hurtful and harmful You have an excellent video about the Pygmalion effect, now sprouts, how do you think those two very different video for two very similar conditions is applying the Pygmalion effect, and is that really what you want to do? I recommend you read the book driven to distraction by two doctors with ADHD (Edward M Hallowell and John J Ratey) And I hope you update this video with something less harmful and more accurate.

  4. Read driven to distraction, that will help you understand yourself, videos like this are vile and destroy the self esteem of people with ADHD as well as turn people without ADHD to behave in a discriminatory, dismissive, arrogant, demeaning way towards people with ADHD, read the book, you will get a good picture of what ADHD really is (it was written by two doctors with ADHD) and will help you know that this video and people that talk like this are in the wrong and offensive

  5.  @AzureToroto  sounds awful, sounds like the special eds in your school was treating everyone like a defective person instead someone that needed a unique education (aka special education) to allow them to achieve their maximum potential. I am sad that was what you went through. That is not what special ed should be. In addition, with Asperger's there is absolutely no need and even a lot of harm both to the kid with Asperger's and to the rest of the kids, to put a child in a completely different setting. In these case the "special ed" should not be on the expense of normal school activities but some extra classes and probably therapy and guidance to help navigate the social interactions and teach methods to allow the child to express his needs to the class mate and teachers and in general to the world and to himself, along with some help to allow him to track his thought process and understand the world. One handy tool could have been to teach the child with Asperger's how to express his needs and difference to the class, and allow him to talk to the class with the support of his teachers so he can teach them about him and how he interacts or any difficulties he might have and how he would like to ask them them to help This tool has been proven help. At the same time, any child that has an ability and wish to learn more and take on more challenges should always have the option to do so and it should be made clear to them.

  6.  @kfizzledizzle8467  I don't care one bit about a person's problems when he starts his comment with othering people. Also, he sounds very intellectually challenged, if I could pass with high marks classes in uni by reading a book, him struggling with a very simple English class in highschool sounds like he is just a moron blaming others for his problems while at the same breath denying them of their right to exist, demanding they should be kept away and othering them. So no, I do not have empathy for him.

  7. That was depressing. It is basically saying that people are born in to what they will be and have no choice about it, it is all external and nothing can change it. I don't think that is true, and if it is then every class system in the world is right.

  8. This was clearly written by someone with Asperger's... I wish all Asperger's people were incredibly brilliant, I met one that was and many that were very average, they are just as likely to be a genius as every one else. Also, the conclusion of not helping people with Asperger's adapt to the world but make everyone in the world adapt to them... Very clearly something that someone with Asperger's wrote, wanting to force everyone else to change. Being accepted is one thing, but demanding that the whole world recognise you as a genius despite never have done anything to prove you are, then making everyone change how people communicate because you communicate differently... That is not going to happen... We don't all learn sign language because some people can't hear, and the entire world, despite absolutely accepting people on the spectrum, is not going to change their way of communication just because some people like to communicate differently (Just to be clear, asking people with Asperger's to adapt to the world means only if they want to or feel they need to and in that case just letting people know what is going on and what they need to be understood and understand better, it is impossible for someone to just diagnose a stranger and know they are different and need adjustments in the communication if the stranger doesn't do a little bit of effort and explains and helps people around him, help him if they choose to.)

  9. It sounds a bit like introverts are described as intelligent and extravert as idiots.. Also.. dividing the entire world to two types is a bit problematic.. And who said it is anchored? What about people that are introverts in some situations and not the others? What about people who are extroverts in some years of their life and not others? I think behaviour is how we react to the world, not who we are, and we can choose to react differently in different times.

  10.  @Rhino11111111  yes, sounds like people like you should be put in a special room with a lot of help, normal people can pass exams in a normal room but maybe you need extra help... They should really have put you in special ed so you can get the support you needed, I am sorry that you had to endure such challenges to your fragile intellect and we are all very proud of you for managing to learn how to read despite having people that are not like you in the room, who knows? Maybe one day you will learn to cross the road by your own. Never stop dreaming, Never stop blaming others for your lack abilities.
