Neurotypical accommodations

- Huh… so when someone asks for the exact help they need, and it’s refused, we then blame them for not being able to do the thing they asked for help in… does this story seem familiar to anyone else??
Isn’t it weird that any neurotype can seem like a disability when a different neurotype refuses to make accommodations for them 🤔🤔🤔
Also strange how each neurotype seems to have strengths that the others don’t 🤔
It’s almost like none of them are disabilities if we just work to our strengths, rather than demanding we are all the same 🤔 that can’t be right…. Can it 🤨 hmmmm….

I felt that on such a personal level 🤣😭
I think the calculator is such a good example of super simple accomodations that can be put in place but that people are refused and shamed for with NO GOOD REASON.
At my job I work in a bunch of different areas that I have to move between at set times. As a normal person, I need some kind of alarm or trigger from the environment to remind me. But the number of people who don't understand that I can't just look at the clock is mind blowing. Like if I need a reminder to take my life-altering medication, why do you think I wouldn't need one to stop what I'm doing and move somewhere else 😅
What I noticed is that I do have a little difficulty moving directly between two different things, if I've been in a meeting (one of those bigger ones where you mostly have to listen to big wigs droning crap) I can't go directly back to my desk, I have to either visit the lavatory or get another coffee or something of that nature before returning to my regular work at my desk.
I am also the person who needs reminders of appointments everywhere. Sticky notes, an entry in my hard copy diary, reminders on my mobile device and reminders on my work computer.
I have had *SO* many jobs that I can't count. Once I realized that if I worked _alone_ I could hang on to a job for years, life got better. But I always thought it was because there was something profoundly wrong with ME. And that my mother was right. I never could mask, not for very long.
I'm 67, and when I think back how different my life could have been if someone, *anyone* had told me that I'm ND. All the counseling sessions, the people supposedly trying to _help_ me, not a single one of them did anything other than try to force my square peg into a round hole.
I am *SO* glad things have changed, are changing and for Jo and others of my tribe to help the young ones now.

Feel so seen heard and validated watching your videos, thanks for all you share.👍
I’m neurodivergent with inattentive type ADHD (formerly known as ADD) and I have slow processing speed and also struggle to follow along when things go too fast. That feels like a normal issue in school tbh. I’ve never had anything go too slow.
Everything in this video except the paperwork thing seems like the standard here being neurodiversity doesn’t really change anything. I expected all the struggles to be something that were more something that would be an issue for someone neurotypical, but these are all issues for me. Definitely understand the point of the comparison but it doesn’t read to me like a comparison as much as just the regular world except the different person was able to do tedious paperwork easily.
Just my perspective! Great video!!!
"Wait I think I made a mistake"
I like to think they tripped as they said that 💀
This this this
But also 15 minutes of paperwork taking a month... yep
The reason I need longer for what someone is saying is because I’m processing it at 100 times deeper level rather than memorizing the face value of it
A lot of non neurotypical people need slower / slowed down lectures or talking tho? I’m autistic with auditory processing disorder & absolutely need that… and like the second one with numbers there’s dyscalculia? Idk this is weird cuz neither of these things are inherently neurotypical, at all… just like there’s no one way to be neurodivergent, there’s no one way to be neurotypical
Yes there is no one way, everyone is different but ADHDers are known for talking fast. Also those who are great at doing numbers in their head are stereotypically seen as autistic. No one trait is going to tick every box, that’s like saying every autistic person likes trains - i could not care less about trains, but if you do care about trains well it’s a stereotype for a train
The difference is we are DEEPly processing info, whereas neurotypicals are good at surface level memorization. So when an autistic gives and in depth lecture the adhd guy gets it but the neurotypical needs more time to memorize
Bro I use a calculator
I like the video.
But as a neurotypical, 1) there's a calculator in both my computer and my phone. I don't need work to give me a calculator. 2) I can also do long division and multiplication and so on with a scratch piece of paper. Take longer. I'd prefer the calculator, but if I need to keep track of my answers because there are a lot of calculations, scratch paper is awesome. Just give me the back of an opened envelope, and I'm good.
Yeah, it's not a perfect example, but it works. Also, your first point is really interesting because it brings up something I've never thought about before: as a society, we've already prepared to have accomodations for things that nearly everyone needs. It puts channels like these into perspective. They're advocating to have that same level of accomodations, or a bit more, that a much smaller subsection of the population need.
In many places, that would work, but some places that handle sensitive information don't allow for phones or scrap paper, just in case an employee manages to sneak out credit card numbers or other information. I worked in a place like that for a while. It was fine most of the time, though the place I worked at was more lenient than I would have been. They allowed for laminated paper and whiteboard markers, so info still could be sneaked out. I think they've disbanded since I left, but they were still lucky they had honest employees
@@WisdomAndWar133 Indeed. And that's what I like about the advocacy.
I am, however, wondering about the solutions. For example, even the talking fast thing, my reaction to that was "Asking everyone else to speak slower is NOT a solution." It's actually rather controlling. Not that some accommodation couldn't be made, but just that you're making everyone in the room self-concious about your needs. It's something you request one on one, not in a room full of people.
There are options like recording, taking notes and minutes, and stopping to ask questions. I'd have to think through what else might work. But my overall feeling on that one is the neurotypical needs to buckle in and pay attention.
It's an analogy. It's a good one. Pretend it was back in the 'olden days' when phones were just phones and computers took up a whole room. Just roll with it.
(are you sure you are Neurotypical? Taking things literally is a sign 😉
@@stellamcqueen4809 LOL . No. I'm sure.
I'm actually interpreting both on literal and nonliteral terms. Most people don't get how you can both enjoy a joke an dissect it.
Are you familiar with MBTI types? I'm a rare female INTJ. INTJs make up about 2% of the entire population in the US and are one of the rarest types in the world. We're extremely logical, have a strong devotion to whatever our code of ethics is, tend to have resting B*tch face, plan things out years in advance, tend to have physical sensitivity issues (each of us is different, mine is largely photosensitivity) etc.
It is kind of irritating at times to be mistaken as nuerodivergent when we're not (I'm sure some of us are, but largely we're not). In the neurotypical slot so far as I've watched these videos I have no issues with socks or other clothing. I get my paperwork done with blinding speeds, look for more, and then sit around knitting or reading because my work is all done. I don't connect with/enjoy kids though they tend to like me for no reason I can explain to anyone. The running theory is because I treat them like adults for the most part and respect what they say, and will answer questions about why things are the way they are rather than defaulting to "Because I said so." I like making systems and boxes for things to stay within the lines. I test to find out where the boundaries should be and set up rules so that things will keep running without me watching them. INTJs are known at the hardest working lazy people. We'll put in a lot of work on the front end developing a system, and then coast on the system once we've perfected it.
Famous INTJ characters: Batman, Wednesday Addams, Sherlock Holmes, Severus Snape, Moriarty, Katniss Everdeen, Mr. Darcy, Beth Harmon, Paul Atraedies, Walter White, Kat Stratford, Dr. Strange, Dr. House
People: Nikola Tesla, Jodie Foster, John Adams, Christopher Nolan, Betty Friedan, CIllian Murphy,
Anyway, I'd probably be able to mask fairly well for work purposes if neurodivergent were the norm. Pretty much any N-type (Intuitive) would be able to pass to some extent based on this content. N-types don't usually care about conforming to society, and prefer to do their own thing. We're also a minority 66 to 33% of people in the world, so our standard is not the world standard. The S types are deeply conformist, and a lot of what gets described as neurotypical here seems like Sensor behavior to me.
