This was a really helpful video. I showed it to our primary teachers to better understand ADHD. It would be great to have something similar for Autism.
So thankful for this video, but REALLY concerned about two things: minute 39 a man describes what "causes" ADHD. He lists "genes" first...( Huge problem with this being listed at all, but ESPECIALLY listing it first) He then says, It can be caused by "environment" With RIDICULOUS pictures (a building which may or may not be understood as a factory [presumably seeping ADHD-causing chemicals into the environment??], a cigarette, an image of food.... But we are not even getting close to anything that's very very key here... The environment is as number #1 factor -the cause of developmental damage (trauma)...but main aspects of "environmental factors" are,, for Pete's sake, chronic exposure to EFFING ABUSE by a narcissist/sadist/boarderline/dark personality Father (or mother). You MUST discuss environment first. You MUST include an image of 'Family' and images of a child with symbolic visual representations of childhood trauma, like an 'X' on the child's mouth (no ability to express needs, or protest, etc) with the older person (the effing narcissist or sadist or pschopathic PARENT!!!) yelling at the child,, Crossing arms intimidating the child, the parent turning back on the child, ( silent treatment is BRUTAL!! Dehumanizing, And activates the same area of the brain responsible for physical pain producing the equivalent PHYSICAL PAIN of a sucker-punch to the stomach in victims (Williams, 2011). So a parent turning his back on a pleading child, shamed, An image of an older person hitting the child, sexually abusing the child (represented by a bed??) And we must write gaslighting "it's just a joke!" "Dont be so sensitive!" subjecting the child to (deviant, repeated, INCULCATING) verbal abuse in form of sarcasm, "just jokes", verbal abuse... Gaslighting MUST be symbolized. The child's PERCEPTION denied/warped, dehumanizing SILENT TREATMENT MUST BE Illustrated/listed. THAT is the cause of DEVELOPMENTAL DAMAGE --TRAUMA!!. COMPLEX trauma. Research needs to look into what percentage of autistic and a d h d kids have a parent who has NPD, or what % of ADHD and autstic children have a pathological narcissist, sadist, or psychopath for a parent. THIS must be researched. AND, At a minimum, it must be integrated into any presentation about what causes AD.H.D or autism.. This is often child developmental TRAUMA caused by a effing abnormal parent!!!!!
