You were talking about me and I thank you for the information you are sharing. I am 70 now and I was that kid winning a full scholarship yet failing math (dyscalculia) and being late (time blindness) then 15 years ago, after a life with zero allergies, my brain made the decision that I was now seriously allergic to most everything in a grocery store, all chemicals, fragrances, cosmetics etc which profoundly impacted my life. Ha, and yes, I have ADHD which has been a blessing and a curse. I went back to the gym a year ago and do meditation, what a difference that has made to my brain. Now I’m going to find your book. Whoever didn’t want anyone to watch this is simply ignorant, it is NOT behavioral, those of us with ADHD know it’s a brain thing. We were just waiting for you to give this talk 😊
Disconnected Kids is the first book. Reconnected Kids came next. In my opinion, there's a lot of overlap. Disconnected Kids has more theory and foundational information. If you want to know more about practical improvement strategies, then it's ok (again, in my opinion) to start with Reconnected Kids. Both are written in his voice, so you'll enjoy them if you liked this talk.
Time blindness… I’m always late it seems like. I’ve been criticized and harassed and made fun of and bullied and I’ve felt like there must be something wrong with me and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to overcome this issue. Thank you for putting a name to it for me. 😮
Who cares what TEDx think.... seriously.... They rejected it because you dared to suggest that 'behaviour' isn't the issue. As a parent....I am so sick to death of being told my child has behavioural issues versus actual real neurological issues. To all other parents out there ....we have been doing the Mellilo Method for one year .,... My son has had enormous gains and it's been life changing for him and the rest of the family.
Take responsabilities, you have not educated your child and your sad life turns around the selfinflicted misery and the misery you have inflicted to your child. Only in America are kids little monsters with no education. Only in America do the parents make them eat highly toxics and highly addicted drugs to have some peace. You are the criminals who keep wanting kind attention. Sorry but, form Europe, no, you are not good parents.
Our son went thru a program called Brain Balance 8 years ago and this is exactly what their philosophy was. We learned so much, and it literally did change his life and ours. It was a long and tedious process, we still had to do the at home exercises for years afterwards, about two or three, but it was absolutely worth it. he was on the autism spectrum before and now is not. He still has dyslexia and dyscalculia. But he had so much more in the beginning and it is truly remarkable to see how far he has come with the grim prognosis He had as a young child. he’s an absolutely incredible 13 year-old young man now. He still does have gut issues at times and does learn much better one on one than in a group. There are still some things that could be resolved. But he started as not being able to hardly communicate remember, express, memorize or understand much of anything as a five-year-old. It’s been absolutely miraculous to see his incredible life grow and change after using these principles. He is totally speaking truth.

Thank you for sharing this. I am very happy for your family. 🙌🏾❤❤ Our oldest boy is 5 now & there are some struggles as well. The Brain Balance program looks pricey. BUT a way will materialize for us to partake in this program or a similar & very affective one if this is right for our family. If you know of any scholarships or have tips on affordability, do share. I appreciate this!
This is fascinating. I can no longer count the number of kids (and families) thar I know who struggle with these issues. That said, while I have little doubt that these therapies and methods are effective, I can’t help pounding the drum that there needs to include a nutritional component. Lucky Charms & orange juice for breakfast, fried chicken nuggets or Dorito tacos for lunch, and Fast Food for dinner are also impacting our children’s neurological health & development. Including sound nutrition, time in nature, exercise, limited screen time, adequate sleep and hydration are also parts of this complex recipe for a functional & successful society!
... and this is Why Movements is so Important ❤ As Dance singing and dancing and Painting Writing Reading and learning to Breath deeply, and Meditation and Yoga, especially asanas to better finding Balance between both sides of the Body & Brain is giving a better Brain integration ❤
Wonderful presentation. Thank you so much for your research. It explains my issues - diagnosed with ADHD and most likely on the autism spectrum, and a lot of difficulty with interpersonal connections. I am extremely logical, but I am plagued with an overactive immune system and leaky gut syndrome. I have spent a year and thousands of dollars trying to heal my gut and food intolerances with only very minor improvements. I now believe after your talk that the root cause of my digestion issues is an underactive right brain and overactive left brain, which I can trace back to early childhood. I also had a traumatic childhood, which further affected the imbalance of right/left hemispheres to be left/sympathetic dominant at an early age. I would like to pursue your research and learn how I can recover my right brain to bring my body into balance.
Like the vid content and useful information. However, as a late diagnosed adult with ADHD, it is very frustrating the often limited focus on children with ADHD, and or the assumption that only children have it or the definite issue that some think or believe you grow out of it.
I’m also an adult with late diagnosed ADHD; I actually realized something was up (“neurodivergent”) when bringing my son (6 or 7 at the time) in for behavioral problems at school. Much like the kids he mentions, who grow up not knowing what they don’t know, adults might not see a problem if the kid behaves in a way that’s consistent with their own neurodivergent exp. Anyway, when filling out the diagnosis scorecards for my son, I was like “Um Dr this sounds like kiddo, yes, but also, um myself?” As I’ve become medicated consistently, a lot of doctors over time have told me that diagnosis path happens a LOT with families they see. All that to say, I agree, but I think the two go hand-in-hand! It’s interesting to me that some adults are learning alongside their children.
I just read the other day that it takes 17 years for medical information to get from the people discovering it to your hometown family doctor. That's definitely matches the kind of experience my family had my whole life. And I know from the business world and that it takes a minimum of 21 mentions to someone of your vision before they even start to think they've seen the vision and could tell you what that vision is. So don't be discouraged! If you do what you can for another 15 years or so, it might start to actually catch on more! 😃😆
What an amazing Man! And what is so exciting, & inspiring is...that the love for his Son, helped him to develop wonderful techniques that have, & will help many! This truly is knowledge in action, used in the most positive way....bravo!!!!
At 61 I wonder if I will ever make progress with this. The right brain explanation makes sense and I just happen to be sensitive and empathetic ,oh yea and quite clumsy, I have also used isolation as a coping mechanism and now I’m feeling the effects of that. I also have a hyper developed sense of shame and guilty. Wow…
It's a myth. Neuroscience has shown that both hemispheres of the brain are involved in most cognitive tasks, and they work together rather than operating in isolation. That's why this was rejected!
Ive been following this approach for 6 years. My children have done extremely well when consider how compromised they were. This talk continued to highlight more work that is required.
Omg, this is why I got so much better with Pilates! And this is why I cannot use the same stimulation for my both ears! I’m gonna buy your book! This short video helped me more than one hundred appointments with neurologists along my life. At least here in Brazil, they just give you anti depressants, and there’s no one that I can take, because all of them cause me super strong side effects, like not sleeping at all, not waking up at all, not being able to move my muscles, or incapacitating migraines, uncontainable diarrhea, fainting, and so on. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this. I hope this gets to the new secretary of health, Robert Kennedy. They didn’t wanna show your talk because it’s a threat to a lot of people that depend on these problems not to resolve in order for them to keep putting food in their tables (pharma, doctors, therapists, etc.). A simple and effective solution is not good for the financial markets. The “sick industry” needs to sick kids, not healthy kids.
About to start crying ...am finally understanding myself so much more and can not thank enough!!!! My whole life is starting to make sense, have all of these symptoms ...
Thank you for this education. As a mother of a child with ADD, I appreciate all explanations of the brain and connectivity. Personally, neuroplasticity saved my life after suffering from a central vestibular disorder for 2 years. Yes, functional neurology treatments are real!

wow..i could listen to Rob speak/talk/explain things for hours...!..if he pursues something,he will master it SO completely...that he can explain it in a way that everyone can understand it...he simplify's it..because of his greater knowledge of it..!..he is truly a gifted person..!..i was blessed to have met him when i did....he has help'd me in many ways...as he has SO many,many,people in his life time...!..!..he will figure out what he applies himself to..so..im not surprised that he has figured out the "brain"..!..think about that...he figured out our computer...!..WOW...brilliant work...!...THANK YOU Rob for all the help 4 over 20 years...& I hope 4 much continued success in your work & with your son..sincerely, Brian..
What stops us from connecting with people is often, non-acceptance. As an adult, I have been fired from jobs, even though my work was excellent, I was told, I don't fit in. Sometimes, no matter how smart you are, no matter how hard you try. The truth is "normal" people won't let you into their world, but see you as less than them, someone who needs to be fixed. I chose not to be around "normal" people. They can't see beyond their own noses, and judge others by their their own standards. They can't see others strengths but only see them as problems that need to be fixed. We talk too much. We don't accept people enough. We need more vocational programs for the tactile doers, not everyone is destined for higher education.
Yep they just want to throw drugs at the problem . I’m a pharmacist and when I was working retail about 20 years ago I would see prescriptions for 700 + methylphenidate tablets for one kid to take
It's a good time to start a petition to HHS about that problem. We can get a million signatures by January. RFK Jr had already vowed to focus more research funding on autism.
Yes! I’ve paid thousands of dollars over the years to piecemeal these types of therapies for my child. It’s amazing to see them all put together into one program. None of it is covered by insurance nor are the assessments
I think big pharma doesn’t want a cure. They want to RX meds forever. Thank you. I will look into this. I have AuDHD, anxiety & depression age 47, husband ADHD & anxiety age 56. Daughters have AuDHD, depression, anxiety & fibromyalgia age 28. ADHD, anorexia, OCD, depression maybe ASD age 23. AuDHD, anxiety age 18. We all have gifted IQ. Life is a challenge. Meds & therapy only do so much. Thank you!
THANK YOU so much for sharing this excellent talk! Looking forward to finding out more . Please keep on posting, publishing, sharing. Very greatfull for your groundbreaking work and meticulousness! Would love to see more video’s where you go more in-depth and share information on how to implement your wealth of knowledge into easy day-to-day routines, exercises or activities.
Ian McGilchrist was explaining the nature of the two hemispheres and the distinct difference of their operation in a thing I was listening to. This almost dovetails with his talk, starting where his finished And of course those nice folk at the Monroe Institute are very keen on hemi sync in their own special way.
Real thinking. But basic sense and instinctive adjustment . The brain and body naturally graduate towards balance . Every word was valuable in that lecture .
I don’t think it was hidden away by TEDx, it just doesn’t really fit the format of a TED talk. He spends the entire talk on the setup, but never gets to the conclusion. Brain imbalance causes every behavioral issue, therefore what? I’d love to deep dive into one specific example rather than spend the entire talk listing off what each imbalance causes. Still very interesting as a comprehensive list of the neurological imbalance behind each psychiatric issue.
The conclusion is after 14min. Rewatch it. He talks about how can you address the imbalance- and then concludes that you can do this not to change what people are, but to make them feel better and develop their best version.
Treating ADHD without enriching the pharmaceutical industry is heretical. Reversing ADHD? Blasphemy! When this was recorded, we were all being told to bow at the altar of Pfizer, J&J, Astra Zeneca, etc. Roll up your sleeves and ignore the young healthy neighbors who died suddenly. How many TED reviewers have conflicts of interest with Big Pharma? Prove it is zero, and I'll recant.
Thank you for sharing The world needs to know about your amazing work I am neurodivergent as well as having children with different variations Your research and insights have opened my eyes to the possibility that we can correct some imbalanced brains without using meds or invasive surgery We could discuss the reasons why some of your theories may not be so popular with certain groups (or companies) as you provide natural ways to help improve your brain without needing to rely on Big Pharma and the likes Keep up your great work! I am your biggest fan!
These problems seem to be n the increase. As a 63 year old (very right-brained!) I look back on my own childhood and realise that one of the biggest differences in the environment children are growing up in now .is that they have very little time to themselves. I wonder whether this was the space that allowed us to negotiate the world on our own terms. Children walked to school on their own, they played with different age groups in un-surveyed groups, they had time to observe non-verbally and to dream. This even happened in the classroom - where children were not expected to relate directly with the teacher as they are now - rather they were allowed a world of their own. Has anyone thought that this constant demand for children to be "engaged" might in itself represent an over-load for the creative brain.
This is wonderfully inspirational and insightful. I found this in a deep dive into learning about the brain to help my child whom was born healthy till age five then started having seizures. Would this help with absence seizures?
This is a minute detail, but you lost my left brain with the visuals. The arrows are in direct opposition to the words “top down pointing up, bottom up pointing down, inside out pointing in” starting at 13:40.
The chart needs to be read not left ---> right, but literally Top half (above line break) to Bottom half (below line break) I initially did same as you Plus to rewind what's being stated - He's talking about the cellular formulating of the brain - beginning from the heart of the brain stem - tip, I believe (top down) and cellularly circling in a pattern on up (bottom up) as he demonstrates that 'shaping' of the brain as it fills out around on both hemisphere sides. Hope that helps a little. Good catch though for most people naturally read that chart from left to right 👍
Also, we could map this to Constructed Development Theory by Stevens (2020) to measure the differences in their awareness of their construction of self. I can expand on this if you want.
@@ninaromm5491 - I need to map the shortcuts in our thinking, called Cognitive Intentions, to the text in the video. He is clearly using work by Iain MCGilchrist so it won't take me long.
A child who is diagnosed with ADHD ,has hyperactivity,does a lot of echolalia, had speech delay when younger, behavioral issues which side delay he can have, as the weakness looks on both sides as per this.
Focus on the attachment. Spend twenty minutes a day present with the child, no screens, doing something the kid likes to do like blocks or a toy or activity or game, and do not do the parenting "correcting" during these twenty minutes. It is about presence with their being, correction here will only undermine the point. It will help with the behavior.
I have adhd and dyslexia, so im deficiant in both hemispheres? Shouldn't that balance it out? Hes theory Doesn't make much sense to me.. my right hemisphere is definitly dominant.. and yet I am very ADHD..
Wonderful talk! The mind is inherently embodied. We are engaged in an ongoing process of converting our sensory motor experiences into a formal structure, into a framework that can orient and guide our thinking and reasoning. Sensory motor inference is cognitive inference. We are projecting from the sensory motor domain to the cognitive domain and the inferential capacities of the sensory motor system are baked into the process. Imagine being in a situation where all you have to orient and guide your thinking and reasoning is the inferential capacities of your primitive reflexes. Imagine that due to a lack of vertical integration the conduit through which that information must pass doesn't have the capacity to represent the information in a one to one correspondence. You would have to group together certain input patterns as you transfer information from the source domain to the target domain. Some examples of this grouping together of input patterns would be categories, stereotypes and generalizations. If the target domain doesn't have the capacity to reconstitute the information to the level of one to one correspondence then you are stuck with your categories, stereotypes and generalizations to orient and guide your thinking and reasoning. Neural beings initially categorize, stereotype and generalize, it's a consequence of our neural architecture. However the extent to which we do this is a reflection of the developmental process. A disability is simply an ability that you didn't acquire at a certain stage of development. At each stage of development we acquire new abilities. The application of each ability in the order that they were acquired constitutes the order of operations for an embodied protocol that is our birthright. This embodied protocol must be in alignment with evolution which is phylogenically ordered, development which is ontogenetically sequenced and learning which is functionally progressive. Why? To answer that question we first answer this question. What is the connection between evolution, development and learning? All three phenomena are iterations of the same process expressed over different time frames. An iterative process that is missing step will always be incomplete and tend to result in errors that will be repeated in subsequent iterations. I hope I've added something to the discussion. Have a beautiful day everyone!
I enjoyed your video and your information is thought producing and very interesting. I have just purchased your books and am looking forward to reading them and hopefully gaining insight and strategies to help children and teens with neurodivergence. One observation regarding your TED-Talk comments and censorship. I don’t see it as censorship. Your ideas are not being stifled. TED-Talks are not for outside the mainstream ideas that are not established. So I get why they won’t show your video. You are published and assume you’re getting funding for your research so, not sure why it’s censorship.
Well, what does the use of digital devices do for children's brain? For what I gather it will alter the brain development completely compared to past civilizations. Is this good or bad?
This was basically at a listing of what areas of the brain are responsible for, and nothing about how we can have effect on those things to positively effect conditions. A lot of sciency sounding words with symptoms experienced by neurodiverse people without much actual content.
To me, Dr. Gabor Matte's explanation of his ADD and his son's ADD is more believable and makes better sense! He doesn't believe that ADD is inborn or that it is a disease, but is caused by the environment in early childhood development, likely before the age 4 or 5.
This is not far from what he is explaining. I like Gabor ALOT. And this actually, in my opinion, does fit in his conclussions. Would be nice they have a public discussion of their findings
Thankyou for sharing. I think you should try again. There is room for polishing the talk. IMO it picks up at 13 min, there was a bit too much information about the hemispheric imbalances and a bit too much laying the ground work. This could be tightened up. You also light up and become passionate after 13min. I love your work and have read your books. Don't give up, try again.
The concept of left-brain versus right-brain dominance - where the left hemisphere is logical and analytical while the right hemisphere is creative and emotional - is a significant oversimplification and largely a myth. Neuroscience has shown that both hemispheres of the brain are involved in most cognitive tasks, and they work together rather than operating in isolation. That's why this was rejected!
Start with the book 'Disconnected Kids' that will give you a firm understanding of what's happening, an assessment to figure out your specific areas to work on, and the exercises to begin with.
@dianatrott5359 They don't psychoanalyze either. Presumably they just accept everybody's quirks without putting labels on them. They can probably give a behaviourly difficult child some consequences that will stick in their memory more than the pointless remonstrance which is the only technique "allowed" in modern society, apart from medication and therapy.
I agree. His descriptions of the characteristics of the brain regions weren't biologically accurate. The conclusions misleading. All that trash psychology jargon. Sheesh!

wow..i could listen to Rob speak/talk/explain things for hours...!..if he pursues something,he will master it SO completely...that he can explain it in a way that everyone can understand it...he simplify's it..because of his greater knowledge of it..!..he is truly a gifted person..!..i was blessed to have met him when i did....he has help'd me in many ways...as he has SO many,many,people in his life time...!..!..he will figure out what he applies himself to..so..im not surprised that he has figured out the "brain"..!..think about that...he figured out our computer...!..WOW...brilliant work...!...THANK YOU Rob for all the help 4 over 20 years...& I hope 4 much continued success in your work & with your son..sincerely, Brian..
What stops us from connecting with people is often, non-acceptance. As an adult, I have been fired from jobs, even though my work was excellent, I was told, I don't fit in.
Sometimes, no matter how smart you are, no matter how hard you try. The truth is "normal" people won't let you into their world, but see you as less than them, someone who needs to be fixed.
I chose not to be around "normal" people. They can't see beyond their own noses, and judge others by their their own standards. They can't see others strengths but only see them as problems that need to be fixed.
We talk too much.
We don't accept people enough.
We need more vocational programs for the tactile doers, not everyone is destined for higher education.
That's a big generalisation saying "normal people" can't see beyond the end of their nose.
Who's standards do you judge others on? God's?
We know a lot about ADHD, but these therapies are never offered or covered by insurance.
Yep they just want to throw drugs at the problem . I’m a pharmacist and when I was working retail about 20 years ago I would see prescriptions for 700 + methylphenidate tablets for one kid to take
It's a good time to start a petition to HHS about that problem. We can get a million signatures by January. RFK Jr had already vowed to focus more research funding on autism.
Yes! I’ve paid thousands of dollars over the years to piecemeal these types of therapies for my child. It’s amazing to see them all put together into one program. None of it is covered by insurance nor are the assessments
Thank you for allowing us to hear your talk. I loved the info and cant wait to learn more about this.
I think big pharma doesn’t want a cure. They want to RX meds forever. Thank you. I will look into this. I have AuDHD, anxiety & depression age 47, husband ADHD & anxiety age 56. Daughters have AuDHD, depression, anxiety & fibromyalgia age 28. ADHD, anorexia, OCD, depression maybe ASD age 23. AuDHD, anxiety age 18. We all have gifted IQ. Life is a challenge. Meds & therapy only do so much. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I’ve never heard of this method before but am willing to try, as my boys and I all have ADHD. I need to see actual results.
Its like recalibrating the brain
Great video. Thank you!
What is true is not popular.
What is popular is not true.❤
THANK YOU so much for sharing this excellent talk! Looking forward to finding out more . Please keep on posting, publishing, sharing. Very greatfull for your groundbreaking work and meticulousness! Would love to see more video’s where you go more in-depth and share information on how to implement your wealth of knowledge into easy day-to-day routines, exercises or activities.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I would love to learn more about how to implement this for my daughter and nephews.
The brain balance program your son went through is Melilios work. Read his books, to start to support your son at home. He is a genius
This video changed my life
By the way, as an ADHD adult, very late diagnosed, I really would like to know what is it to be in a nonADHD brain.
I wonder if that is what EMDR is doing? Integrating the 2 sides of the brain?
Ian McGilchrist was explaining the nature of the two hemispheres and the distinct difference of their operation in a thing I was listening to. This almost dovetails with his talk, starting where his finished
And of course those nice folk at the Monroe Institute are very keen on hemi sync in their own special way.
I was eager to see this talk!!! Love it! Thank you always for your work 🙏
Thank you for your support!
Real thinking. But basic sense and instinctive adjustment . The brain and body naturally graduate towards balance . Every word was valuable in that lecture .
WOW!!! Simply WOW!!
Thank you, Dr. Melillo 🙏
Thank you so much for posting it.
Awesome talk. Passing it on.
I don’t think it was hidden away by TEDx, it just doesn’t really fit the format of a TED talk. He spends the entire talk on the setup, but never gets to the conclusion. Brain imbalance causes every behavioral issue, therefore what? I’d love to deep dive into one specific example rather than spend the entire talk listing off what each imbalance causes. Still very interesting as a comprehensive list of the neurological imbalance behind each psychiatric issue.
seems like promoting their lab instead of providing solutions to parents. Maybe that's why it doesn't fit for TED
The conclusion is after 14min. Rewatch it. He talks about how can you address the imbalance- and then concludes that you can do this not to change what people are, but to make them feel better and develop their best version.
Treating ADHD without enriching the pharmaceutical industry is heretical. Reversing ADHD? Blasphemy! When this was recorded, we were all being told to bow at the altar of Pfizer, J&J, Astra Zeneca, etc. Roll up your sleeves and ignore the young healthy neighbors who died suddenly. How many TED reviewers have conflicts of interest with Big Pharma? Prove it is zero, and I'll recant.
Where were you when I was 5 years old?…oh, you weren’t born yet. 🤔 Wonderful information. 🙏🍷🎩🎩🎩🕊🌏✌️
Very informative information. It is good to understand that balancing the brain helps with ADHD.
Thanks for your work
Thank you for sharing
The world needs to know about your amazing work
I am neurodivergent as well as having children with different variations
Your research and insights have opened my eyes to the possibility that we can correct some imbalanced brains without using meds or invasive surgery
We could discuss the reasons why some of your theories may not be so popular with certain groups (or companies) as you provide natural ways to help improve your brain without needing to rely on Big Pharma and the likes
Keep up your great work!
I am your biggest fan!
Thank you for sharing your story and for all the support! I'm so thankful.
Thank you so much for this! I would love to know where to go in Melbourne, Australia as I believe that I have ADD.
You can find all locations of certified Melillo Method practitioners at melillomethod.info/locations
These problems seem to be n the increase.
As a 63 year old (very right-brained!) I look back on my own childhood and realise that one of the biggest differences in the environment children are growing up in now .is that they have very little time to themselves. I wonder whether this was the space that allowed us to negotiate the world on our own terms. Children walked to school on their own, they played with different age groups in un-surveyed groups, they had time to observe non-verbally and to dream. This even happened in the classroom - where children were not expected to relate directly with the teacher as they are now - rather they were allowed a world of their own. Has anyone thought that this constant demand for children to be "engaged" might in itself represent an over-load for the creative brain.
Fortuntelaty right and left brains are highly linked, it's not so "squared", but at least, that helps to understand 😀
I'm definitely a right brain person , but I am attracted to or attract left brainers. I also lived in a household where I was gaslighted.
How do I get my son in your clinic! ?
This is wonderfully inspirational and insightful. I found this in a deep dive into learning about the brain to help my child whom was born healthy till age five then started having seizures. Would this help with absence seizures?
Merci pour votre travail
This is a minute detail, but you lost my left brain with the visuals. The arrows are in direct opposition to the words “top down pointing up, bottom up pointing down, inside out pointing in” starting at 13:40.
The chart needs to be read not
left ---> right, but
literally
Top half (above line break) to
Bottom half (below line break)
I initially did same as you
Plus to rewind what's being stated -
He's talking about the cellular formulating of the brain - beginning from the heart of the brain stem - tip, I believe (top down) and cellularly circling in a pattern on up (bottom up) as he demonstrates that 'shaping' of the brain as it fills out around on both hemisphere sides. Hope that helps a little. Good catch though for most people naturally read that chart from left to right 👍
As the brain is a prediction engine rather than fight/flight, can we map this in here too?
Also, we could map this to Constructed Development Theory by Stevens (2020) to measure the differences in their awareness of their construction of self. I can expand on this if you want.
@DrDarrenStevens . Yes please! Elaborate. Very interested to hear more about what you envisage 🎉. Thanks in advance
@@ninaromm5491 - I need to map the shortcuts in our thinking, called Cognitive Intentions, to the text in the video. He is clearly using work by Iain MCGilchrist so it won't take me long.
Thank you for this!!! Wowwww ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Of course! Thank you for watching and sharing!
A child who is diagnosed with ADHD ,has hyperactivity,does a lot of echolalia, had speech delay when younger, behavioral issues which side delay he can have, as the weakness looks on both sides as per this.
Sounds more like Autism than ADHD.
Focus on the attachment. Spend twenty minutes a day present with the child, no screens, doing something the kid likes to do like blocks or a toy or activity or game, and do not do the parenting "correcting" during these twenty minutes. It is about presence with their being, correction here will only undermine the point.
It will help with the behavior.
@@PaigeSquared Great advice!
@@PaigeSquared yes will surely try this. Thanks for the advice.
@@PaigeSquared 20 minutes??!!
All I can say is... thank you!
How do we “get” it ???
Reaserch says it’s neurological… who still says it’s behavior ?
I have adhd and dyslexia, so im deficiant in both hemispheres? Shouldn't that balance it out? Hes theory Doesn't make much sense to me.. my right hemisphere is definitly dominant.. and yet I am very ADHD..
Does this work for 26-year-olds???
Absolutely! Any age
Wonderful talk! The mind is inherently embodied. We are engaged in an ongoing process of converting our sensory motor experiences into a formal structure, into a framework that can orient and guide our thinking and reasoning. Sensory motor inference is cognitive inference. We are projecting from the sensory motor domain to the cognitive domain and the inferential capacities of the sensory motor system are baked into the process. Imagine being in a situation where all you have to orient and guide your thinking and reasoning is the inferential capacities of your primitive reflexes. Imagine that due to a lack of vertical integration the conduit through which that information must pass doesn't have the capacity to represent the information in a one to one correspondence. You would have to group together certain input patterns as you transfer information from the source domain to the target domain. Some examples of this grouping together of input patterns would be categories, stereotypes and generalizations. If the target domain doesn't have the capacity to reconstitute the information to the level of one to one correspondence then you are stuck with your categories, stereotypes and generalizations to orient and guide your thinking and reasoning. Neural beings initially categorize, stereotype and generalize, it's a consequence of our neural architecture. However the extent to which we do this is a reflection of the developmental process. A disability is simply an ability that you didn't acquire at a certain stage of development. At each stage of development we acquire new abilities. The application of each ability in the order that they were acquired constitutes the order of operations for an embodied protocol that is our birthright. This embodied protocol must be in alignment with evolution which is phylogenically ordered, development which is ontogenetically sequenced and learning which is functionally progressive. Why? To answer that question we first answer this question. What is the connection between evolution, development and learning? All three phenomena are iterations of the same process expressed over different time frames. An iterative process that is missing step will always be incomplete and tend to result in errors that will be repeated in subsequent iterations. I hope I've added something to the discussion. Have a beautiful day everyone!
I enjoyed your video and your information is thought producing and very interesting. I have just purchased your books and am looking forward to reading them and hopefully gaining insight and strategies to help children and teens with neurodivergence. One observation regarding your TED-Talk comments and censorship. I don’t see it as censorship. Your ideas are not being stifled. TED-Talks are not for outside the mainstream ideas that are not established. So I get why they won’t show your video. You are published and assume you’re getting funding for your research so, not sure why it’s censorship.
Well, what does the use of digital devices do for children's brain? For what I gather it will alter the brain development completely compared to past civilizations. Is this good or bad?
Awesome view
Great talk! Thank you for sharing!!
This was basically at a listing of what areas of the brain are responsible for, and nothing about how we can have effect on those things to positively effect conditions. A lot of sciency sounding words with symptoms experienced by neurodiverse people without much actual content.
Is this only for children, or will it help adults with ADHD as well?
To me, Dr. Gabor Matte's explanation of his ADD and his son's ADD is more believable and makes better sense! He doesn't believe that ADD is inborn or that it is a disease, but is caused by the environment in early childhood development, likely before the age 4 or 5.
This is not far from what he is explaining. I like Gabor ALOT. And this actually, in my opinion, does fit in his conclussions. Would be nice they have a public discussion of their findings
Perhaps it can be both? Not wrong or just right?
Yes, a discussion between them could be very interesting! I would love to hear it!@@ceaseoccupation
Maybe in some cases nature's the stronger factor, and in other cases it's nurture.
But our brain is developing all life. So what you’re can be just part of what he’s explaining in this video.
I don’t have hyper active brain but I have inattentive type!
If this subject is of interest to you in any wsy , please listen to this.
Look up adhd and carnivore diet
So, (ho-hum) you can't do anything about it by yourself but there are some expensive treatments available....
This is why I quit my study.
Thankyou for sharing. I think you should try again. There is room for polishing the talk. IMO it picks up at 13 min, there was a bit too much information about the hemispheric imbalances and a bit too much laying the ground work. This could be tightened up. You also light up and become passionate after 13min. I love your work and have read your books. Don't give up, try again.
The concept of left-brain versus right-brain dominance - where the left hemisphere is logical and analytical while the right hemisphere is creative and emotional - is a significant oversimplification and largely a myth. Neuroscience has shown that both hemispheres of the brain are involved in most cognitive tasks, and they work together rather than operating in isolation. That's why this was rejected!
Looks like Dustin Hoffman
Interesting talk but difficult to prove scientifically. Probably why TED didn’t recommend.
Lovely Talk super duper lubbley Jubbley etc etc
Labels rarely help!!!
We already know this.
It’s nothing new.
What are you suggesting we do????
Start with the book 'Disconnected Kids' that will give you a firm understanding of what's happening, an assessment to figure out your specific areas to work on, and the exercises to begin with.
Excellent content, but too many words for me.
I think it is interesting that there is no autism or adhd in the Amish... they don't vaccinate.
@dianatrott5359 They don't psychoanalyze either. Presumably they just accept everybody's quirks without putting labels on them. They can probably give a behaviourly difficult child some consequences that will stick in their memory more than the pointless remonstrance which is the only technique "allowed" in modern society, apart from medication and therapy.
Too disconnected barrage of facts insufficiently connected; poor coherence, poorly focused.
I agree. His descriptions of the characteristics of the brain regions weren't biologically accurate. The conclusions misleading. All that trash psychology jargon. Sheesh!
TEDx, what a joke. Who are they to decide what we can and can't watch.
!!!
