    Gosh. I need to gear myself up to be able to watch/confront all of this. I got diagnosed so late (40) after years of gaslighting + managed a masters degree despite ADHD and Dyscalculia. (Both only diagnosed a couple of years ago only).
    My brother is dyspraxic + clearly on the spectrum yet high functioning - yet he never was diagnosed either for EDS nor for Asperger but both are blatantly obvious to me. So it’s still difficult for me to absorb the information without crying from some form of PTSD from being told i was a hypochondriac and/or it was all in my head. I got gaslit by teachers for not trying hard enough in maths and being slow or not listening.
    Stay strong, everyone. I’m very grateful for the resilience and determination that our EDS specialist show to bring us research results and better diagnostic tools for our GPs
    Big gentle hug to all of you beautiful Zebras out there. ❤

      62 and 10 months and diagnosed this month with hypermobile EDS after years of largely being treated like a hypochondriac. I’m dyspraxic and dyscalculic and (very) probably ADHD but on a long waiting list to be assessed.
      My biggest concern in getting a dx has been the nieces and nephews who could be in danger if they, like me, choose the wrong jobs and, like I did, injure themselves through ignorance as a result.

    The photograph of a prosthetically supported knee made me smile. If only I had known sooner that pain through physical activity wasn't par for the course. Just when I decided to revisit my youthful love of physical movement - my joints started screaming about everything. I've been using an old tennis elbow neoprene support on my knee but the other knee is getting jealous, now. Ordered some new, highly rated, patella support straps (a matching pair). I hope they work, though, as it's actually a ligament issue I have. And the next time my hip dislocates - I'm not going to put up with having to walk to the GP for the perfunctory inspection and inevitable codeine prescription. I never realised that the 'tricks' that would either impress or horrify others were more than just double jointedness. If I'd have known - I might have been kinder to all the joints that could do, apparently, unusual things.
    Back in the seventies I was told I'd never be able to have children (manifestly wrong) and that I'd be intellectually sluggish (probably not quite right) but I now think (both parents have died) that 'can't have children' was a gentle way of saying 'don't have children' and the other one was inserted to limit my self expectations (this might have been an attempt at reverse psychology but then why did they have to tell my primary school teachers, too, as they ended up (I feel) thinking I was a bit of a fraud?). Nobody mentioned anything particular, about the joints, except the standard 'If you keep doing that you'll pay for it in later life.' I'd like to think that if my parents had known about autism, and the doctors had known about autism, somebody would have told me. I wish I'd been told. And I wish I'd been better protected from the inevitable elevated and repetitive relational abuse because that, for the females in particular, is a killer. I hope the newly diagnosed autistic young females are given priority guidance into how to hold themselves to a higher value and avoid all the horrible situations that wait for them.
    To the mothers of autistic girls - you have to be lionesses and it will probably be a lifetime role as your daughters are going to draw monsters out of the shadows at an astonishing rate. They think they are doing what they need to do to survive - you need to teach them they are worth so much more. Watch out for them, in particular, hitching their wagons to sociopaths as they will be driven to gift their fragility to a sociopath to take care of. Indeed, the apparent lack of compassion of a sociopath is what the autistic female thinks is safe as the manipulative emotional neediness of the outwardly sensitive is repellent to her. She's on the lookout for somebody that doesn't care about her as much as she cares about them. And that's trouble brewing.

    I feel that this video should be sent to all doctors. I see so much of myself in your descriptions. I'm scared to go to a doctor because of the humiliation of not being believed. I feel like someone has put a secret coding in my medical file for hypochondriac, because after seeking other medical opinions (changing GP's) as soon as I get my file sent over they start speaking to me as though I'm feeble and downplaying my genuine concerns about my health. The best they can come up with is "Chronic Pain" annd take osteopanadol 3 times a day. No wonder we die early. My mother died age 51 but I have outlived her by 11 years now. I'm not even going to try and get a diagnosis but everything you say resonated strongly. Thank you for this video, I might show it to my daughter when I'm feeling brave.

    Thank you VERY much for this, you've come a long way and make a very good contribution. Your MBE is well-earned.
    Personally, I think that in terms of "treatments", unifying the underlying mechanisms is very good, but also...
    The need to sweep everything into one category, Autism, and treat the entire group as something to be diagnosed and viewed as a disability, is something very NeuroTypical and Binary-fixated.
    The slogan "Diversity is our strength" is true - NOT for the melanin variations, but for our human Neuro-Diversity. We need the diverse skills, need to work together to cover the diverse deficiencies. Together we can solve problems.

    I was diagnosed with EDS (type III) at 19 (NHS) and with Autism at 31 (again, NHS diagnosis) and I was convinced for YEARS before my official ASD diagnosis that I was neurodivergent and that it was somehow connected to/symbiotic with my EDS.
    My family on both sides have histories of mental health (or was it neurodivergence, we'll never know) and hypermobility - but I was the first generation to get formal diagnoses of both, most likely due to the stigma/lack of awareness of both prior to the 2000's.
    It's absolutely wonderful to see connections being made between EDS and Neurodivergence. My only hope is that it transcends the medical community and makes its way to the world of work - I'd love to be able to work, but am pretty much unemployable - I look healthy AF but inside, I'm a mess. It makes being taken seriously, impossible because 'I don't look sick' but very much am.

  • @noreenquinn3844
    @noreenquinn3844 7 месяцев назад +6

    Thank you for this. I wonder if visualising yourself into a new position, like a new job, career, or anything new, is also a problem for people with autism? Hence, the anxiety associated with this. Shadowing people in various careers, creating a buddy system, etc. might be a solution?
    Opening up opportunities to do this is the challenge.
    Higher functioning autistic people face greater challenges sometimes because their autism is invisible , except to those who know them.
    I find that frequent encouraging words work wonders for high functioning autistic people because they then know where they stand. They don't often get words of encouragement and invitations to join in.
    Employers, teachers, and fellow students could learn this.

    @bipolargamechanger 7 месяцев назад +11

    I’m interested to know more about the work regarding bipolar and neurodiversity. I’m bipolar and I see it as late onset neurodiversity. That’s one way I frame it. I acquired many new cool traits that I’ve worked towards harnessing (having access to them not just in mania and energetic states-like creativity) while other traits atrophied. There seems to be a trade off, like certain brain circuits became active. I sense it has to do with accessing more of the right brain. I’ve lost a lot of memory capacity but I use my phone for that. Im hypersensitive to noise etc.

      I didn’t know that was ADHD. I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar for over 10 years from 21 to around 33-34. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 42. I was given various medications for bipolar that likely wrecked my health. My mother was also misdiagnosed with Bipolar and we believe she’s also ADHD but she’s over 70 so doesn’t really care at this point. She’s very active and an extrovert so that tends to make up for things. As long as she’s busy she’s fine. I’m an introvert and struggle with motivation and organization unless of course I’m doing something that I’m passionate about or intensely interested in. I hope you find your way. ♥️

I just had a hearing, and it blew my mind that I got a decision from disability saying unfavorable and I've appealed it. I just recently found out about Ehler-Danlos syndrome and I'm going to get a proper diagnosis. I still am unsure if I will win. I just don't understand how social security think she can be independent without help.

    @resourcedragon 6 месяцев назад +1

    Thank you for a very interesting video.
    I do remember hearing some years ago that hypermobility is associated with depression. The association with various neuro-divergent traits is interesting.
    To me it says that neurodivergence is not just "in the brain". I think some of the prejudice against autism is that it is seen as a condition that is "just in people's heads".
    While I freely acknowledge that many neuro-divergent adults would not want a cure, (it could easily seem like having your personality stripped away and who knows what you'd end up with to replace it), I wonder if this is a condition that might be amenable to treatment.

IF EDS Society could post the speaker's slides as a PDF...in the vid description, we could view them. They dont need to make the file downloadable...as long as it's viewable. Some speakers dont want their slides copied...so sometimes they wont allow them to be posted. I would imagine if you google her name, maybe a website and then also some info about the slides. If not, if EDS society could put links to the papers or websites in her slides that others cant see.

Also if you wear reading glasses....you might need to put them on for the small font. I wear, but wasnt wearing them...since distance away from face was farther than normal reading distance...however if you want to read the fine print from her non-medical illustration...then probably reading glasses and put device up close...in full screen mode.

Recently I also got tested for 3 of the most common borrelia strains in Spain and tested negative but I do have high T8 memory linfocits against borrelia; which to my understanding it either means I had it in the past and not now or that my T8 linfocits react to a bacteria with a similar strucure as borrelia.

    Whats the point of having a name, a label to explain the way you feel? What good can that possibly bring besides using that label in the hope others will change the way they see/treat you? It looks like a victimhood complex that will last the rest of your life. All these videos are the same and honestly feel like a waste of time.

      I've not watched much of this channel yet, but
      Naming things is in general the way humans figure out how to deal with something. It's a requisite first step, because most of our cognition relies on language once we get out of toddlerhood. Like, imagine a world where we didn't have any word to describe a building that was on fire. How could you tell people to get out, short of taking them to the fire and showing them in the dumbest way? How would you get help from the 911 dispatcher? How would you get the right help, so they send a fire department instead of police? The word fire serves as a point of shared meaning, where when I say it, I can trust that you know what I mean and what I am asking for.
      Words for these kinds of things are the same way. It's why people spend so much time and energy not just on naming things, but on contending for specific definitions, because having a word that has a meaning that matches something you're trying to describe is incredibly important if you think you need any help with that thing at all, such as medical interventions, educational aid, social understanding, etc.

      Wrong name (label) = wrong treatment. Trust me. I have had the wrong label and was given the wrong medicine. It was not good.

      Having a named diagnoses is an improvement on being gaslit and told nothing is wrong.
