Yes! The work place and being forced to stop your personal work flow and do things the way others do. It causes more stress and slower productivity. Then ridicule, and social separation by coworkers. Being excluded from the team dynamic. 😢
I completely understand where you're coming from, and it's unfortunate that you're experiencing this in your workplace. Everyone has their own unique style of working and it's essential for an organisation to respect individual workflows for maximum productivity. It's also crucial for workplaces to promote an inclusive environment where everyone feels a part of the team. Remember, your value isn't defined by the acceptance of others. It can be a challenging situation, but try to communicate your feelings with your superiors or HR if you feel comfortable. Perhaps they can implement changes that will benefit everyone's working style and improve team dynamics. 💪💼🤝
I hate it when asked "Do you see the bigger picture better or small details?"
Because, it depends on what you're talking about. Bigger picture as in FIGURATIVELY, like life or a situation? Or LITERALLY the bigger "picture" or small details in said "big picture"?
I can see the bigger picture of life or a situation, as well as pick apart the details of many different scenarios of these two.
I can first glance an ACTUAL "big picture" but can spend a, depending on my interest in the subject matter of said "big picture", lot of time noticing the details that others would miss even if they looked as long I did. Of course, that's only if it's something I am very interested in and maybe that's just hyper-focusing....I don't know...🤔
It's frustrating when questions are not clear or are overly broad and don't accurately reflect the complexity of the topic being asked about. It's important to consider both the figurative and literal interpretations of "bigger picture" and "small details." It sounds like you have the ability to see both and understand the nuances of different scenarios, which is a valuable skill to have.
It's also important to understand that everyone's experiences and perspectives are unique and what may seem like hyper-focusing to one person could simply be their way of processing information. Don't be too hard on yourself, and try not to overthink it. Focus on your strengths and continue to do what works for you.
Agreed. I struggle to see the "bigger picture" in a concept. I focus hard on the small details. But I'm very health focused and see the "bigger picture" when deciding if I want to be healthy or not. Because I understand the importance of longevity and health. So answering these questions is always difficult.
I enjoyed taking part in this webinar; however, I would like to say I'm sorry that I'm looking down a lot during the question about what fact is the most interesting, but I became overwhelmed at that point and felt that I needed to focus away from the screen for a bit at that time.
Don't apologize for something you cannot control. Just keep doing the best you can everyone understands :)
@@420blazicanproductions6 Thank you. I guess I can be overly apologetic at times.
@@AprilSlocombeMe too!
I was assessed when I was 12, in 2007. I’m a female, the diagnosis came back that I didn’t have autism. I’m just wondering, if they knew the symptoms present differently in females to males back then. I had learning difficulties at school and as much as I tried to listen to what was being taught, I ended up spacing out. I’m still like this today, whether it be at work or when I’m studying my tertiary course. I get nervous at work when I’m told to do something out of the regular because I might do it incorrectly. Also in a group with my friends, I get a bit overwhelmed by the conversations and end up spacing out there too.
My parents still suspect I might have it. Also since being in a serious relationship I have noticed it a lot more lately. Should I get assessed again and get officially diagnosed, or just live with it how I am?
Thanks for your comment, and I can't really give you a direct answer as it's a very personal question, but it is true that females are often overlooked or miss diagnosed when it comes to ASD. The most employed question is to ask yourself what you hope to gain from getting a diagnosis and if you think that is a big enough reason then Then there is definitely merit in seeking out a diagnosis again
I was diagnosed with autism back in 1999 when I was two years old.
Thanks for sharing. Early diagnosis can be both a challenge and an opportunity. It often allows for early intervention, but it can also come with preconceived notions from others. Your journey is uniquely yours, and I hope you've found ways to navigate life that work best for you. 🌟

i think i have caught it
autism is not a contagious condition, so it cannot be caught like a cold or flu. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is typically diagnosed in early childhood and is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While the exact causes of autism are not fully understood, research suggests that it is not caused by parenting styles, vaccines, or other external factors.
@@ExceptionalIndividuals i think that might be a joke😊
@@turtleanton6539Yeah, i think it was intended but personally? that’s offensive. Autism isn’t contagious. It’s a condition that affects you throughout your entire life.
