It’s admirable that you’re open about this, but it’s important to be mindful of your audience. While some colleagues may genuinely support you, others might not have the same intentions, even if they appear understanding. Sometimes, keeping certain conversations between you and your therapist might feel safer. Vulnerability is powerful, but not everyone will truly appreciate it, even if they seem to. I wish you the best on your journey, and I applaud your courage in sharing your story despite these challenges.
@@saulo5216 I haven't mentioned any of my current workplace colleagues and Microsoft are a very good employer when it comes to neurodiversity. I believe it's important to share my experiences and I don't really care if some take issue with it, that's their problem not mine.
was watching your videos till this one came up. Thanks for sharing - your strength and openness are inspiring. I struggle with my studies journey and ur content help me a lot. Very excited to see how you continue to thrive and create more amazing content!
I understand what does being neurodivergent means. Since teenage years i was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and high functioning autism, that didn't interrupted me from pursuing 4 college degrees (Physics, Psychology, Software/Computer Systems Engineering & Graphic Design). Currently my goal is finishing all of them, i have advanced a year of Psychology and a year of Physics, then i plan to go to Manchester UK to work as an Academic Scholar, a Creative-Technical Contractor & a Video Game Technical-Artist. At 14 a psychologist made me an IQ test and i got 154, which gave me access to certain social circles of intellectual people. I'm currently 23 and refining my skills (programming, drawing, exercizing, gaming, reading, mathematizing, etc.)
It's wild how long we can go suspecting something, but then when we're actually given 'a label', we have to grieve the loss of our previous 'identity' even though we ourselves haven't changed at all. But what a diagnosis like this can do is enlighten you in knowing new things that you didn't know you didn't know. We all perceive things in our own way, and most people assume that everyone else perceives things mostly the same way until it is directly pointed out by someone else that this isn't the case. Just keep in mind, Jade, that nothing about you has actually changed. You're still first and foremost a mom, a programmer, and a keeper of an obscenely clean desk (of which I vehemently disapprove!!!!!). What you do with your new information is up to you. Many people feel that having such a 'label' means it has to become their identity. It doesn't. It also doesn't have to be shamefully hidden away. Sending hugs from across the pond and internetz!
Jade, thanks for putting this out. For people that are watching and have little knowledge of austim. Please understand that meeting one austistic person means that you met *one* austistic person. That does mean that you met them all. It is a natural tendency for people try to put autistic people in a box. Please treat people as individuals.
I shout sometimes too. Although whilst I shout I sometimes twist. Did you see Ringo on the telly the other day? He is a drummer and singer, and keeps the beat. So pleased you are here.
If it ever changes, let me know. For me it has never changed. I am glad that I know why I am the way I am, but it doesn't make it easier when being confronted with the parts I really don't like about myself. Stay strong and stay yourself. Love yourself. At all costs. Since we autists live in our heads most of the time, better make it a loving place.
@@YetziowAtziluth it's been nice to have everyone's comments saying they appreciated the honesty and openness, I still aren't sure how I feel, just that I'm glad I did it
@@johneaston8314 thanks for the feedback, yeah they will be writing the report over the next 6 weeks and sending to my GP and me so once that's given with the recommendations I can work with my GP

@@ThePelcher absolutely! I've already had people try and minimise my experience by saying I don't act like another person they know who is autistic 🙃

How do you feel now that you expressed it?

Thanks for sharing Jade. What lead you to ask for a diagnosis?
Next consult a doctor right?
Also this is the audio levels you need for your live stream. Much louder and clearer 👌

Which doctor did you go to and what did you say to them to actually get diagnosed?

sounds like you took those needles that went into the arm in 2021. this is what happens.

@@Jade-Codes autism diagnosis a few days ago. that suggests you took those needles in 2021. Nothin God provides would do that to the human body.
