I can smell underwater, shampoo or perfume rests I can taste without taking water in. I can smell it when people are getting sick, myself included. If something burns I will give notice way before anyone else notices. There are some smells I can't stand and have to leave immediately. I can't stand music over bad speakers, not disliking but it gets physically painful. It's a ridiculous amount of sensitivity that is frankly absurd and makes me seem like a crazy person. So I'll gladly indulge in this episode, her voice is nice to me, I don't mind the bad mic although de-essing this video would have been great.
for real, why don't they turn the video speed up if it bothers them that much, ffs all that work into making and sharing a presentation, and everyone ignores it to whine about how the speaker talks instead. just sad
Thankyou! Very helpful and affirming, as I try to understand myself, my spouse and our grown children. It's challenging given the similarities among SPS, ADHD, phonological dyslexia and cyclothymia/bipolar that manifest.
I think what’s bothering people about the guest speaker is the sloth like pace she is speaking in. I found myself trying to finish her sentence and forgetting the previous words. But that’s also why I listened to it three times, and worth it for free access to the wonderful content. For everyone complaining in a critical tone, maybe one day there will be a speed up button on RUclips. Until then maybe find a way to make it work for you.
I watch (listen) to most informative/documentary type videos on RUclips at 2x speed. Same on Audible and podcasts. I seem to be able to take in, absorb and recall the information far easier at a faster presented rate. (I don't usually read/watch fiction so on the rare occasions I do, I find it SO mindnumbingly S L O W to follow the plot. (I'll quite often give up and make up the rest of the story in my mind!😅)
Is there a way to get just the transcript? The delivery and possibly microphone made it almost impossible to concentrate on what was actually being said. It’s a shame because it’s presumably extremely interesting.
Thank you for all the effort put into the video. I just want to respectfully point out that some things are okay to do in a face to face environment, but they are very bothering if you do them on the internet, since you speak close to a microphone. For example, the tongue clicks are horrible to hear, the "ums" are less annoying but still not nice to hear so often. If you consider the audience this video is aimed at, ADHD and HSP, it makes it even worse. Again, I don't want to be disrespectful and I truly appreciate the effort here, I just hope this kind of feedback can help you guys to make even better videos.
I appreciate Dr.Acevedo’s interesting presentation! Also, I am going to trust information from a sensitive, thoughtful researcher with lived experience much more than some stuffed shirt Harvard neurotypical “expert” who dismissively pathologises everything we do! Some of these comments, SMH. Keep in mind that we ADHD’ers get judged A LOT by others when we are speaking and that we can at least have patience for one another.
Wow, thank you for the info. I think others are referring to nasal tone and vocal fry to use singing references. I imagine people who spent their careers listening, these presentations would be out of their wheel house. Can't imagine I'd do better, you can always just read the transcript, folks. I hadn't noticed other than she's from a different area than I am.
Who can give a ADHD or SPS diagnose? I am outside of the US but have always been interested in knowing exactly what I may have or may have had, as I have worked a lot on normalising myself, let´s say...
Neurology usually in uk or Psychiatrist/psychological services but best to search carefully for expertise in these conditions as many have little experience or do but prejudices and preconceived ideas lead to incompetence.
I dont have any issues/disorders but I also found this presenter not a good public speaker. Bless her, she seemed incredibly nervous and struggling to speak. In context not the best person to pick to deliver information to peeps with sensory processing disorders, ADHD, etc. ADDitude, are you using speakers on the high-functioning spectrum?
The big elephant in the room here is autistic people. The description of HSP is exactly how many autistic people experience the world. I find it very strange that with all the knowledge we have today from the autistic community about how many late-diagnosed autistic people (especially women) went around for many years thinking that they were "just" highly sensitive, that any differences between Autism and HSP are not discussed here. The proportion of autistic people who also have ADHD is very high. And if you are autistic with ADHD, it can be difficult to detect, because you often do not appear autistic "enough". Old stereotypical myths about autism are unfortunately also contributing to the fact that many people, including psychologists and researchers, have not understood that HSP is actually a very common personality trait in autistics. Elaine Aron has started skipping questions about the differences between HSP and Autism/ADHD, because she has no clear answer to that anymore. So I wonder if there is any brain research that says anything about differences between autistic people and people with HSP?
Her audio quality and awkward speaking cadence made this talk feel difficult to follow, even at 1.25 and 1.5 x speed. I also wish she'd translated the study results into more real-world explanations. Like here's a study result, then here's an example of how we see this result in a real-life scenario. The adhd researcher Russell Barkley does this and it helps this talks make more sense IMO.
Hi there! Great question. my daughter s high on the Autism Spectrum and has very prominent SPD. She is Hyposensitive. I often talk to her in terms of her sensitivities by using the terms SPS as it sounds less ummm. intrusive I suppose. I am curious about this as well. Good luck in your search for answers!
I cannot listen to this, the speech cadence is very un-rythmical and the sssss is spoken in a weird way. Lots of uhms and unstrucred flow. Appreciate continued research on ADHD, but this video is maybe not the best presentation. (I'm undiagnosed ADHD)
I had to turn this off around 45 minutes because the amount of “um’s” was utterly distracting. I liked the content as it was very informative. Please warn people about that extremely graphic image of that pops up when the speaker is discussing the study. My comments are coming from someone with ADHD and sensory processing issues. 😉
You made it longer than I did. I FFW'd through the intro because she smacks her lips, and only made it a few minutes into the keynote speaker because she did the same. For a video about highly sensitive people, you really posted one with a lot of auditory and visual issues. Please be more mindful of that in the future!
Bless her, I only made it to 20mins couldn't absorb much tho interested in the info.. Thanks for similar comments, as I was feeling bad that I couldn't manage better (I'm a Aspie with adhd & sps)
It amazes me that listeners who identify as highly sensitive are responding so insensitively to the speaker. She is a researcher and scholar who really knows her stuff. Be respectful!
@@hhdunlap the call for/command of respect is somewhat counterproductive? constructive criticism cannot be disrespectful. I shan't holler back "be understanding"! Have some respect? Yes!! The delivery of certainly can bare brunts of residual offerings, we are all complex (or not?) individuals, and as much as kind and caring comments are all we want to receive/read- where there's trigger there's either rear-ward or stagnation.. either way- it's a 'dis-course' , and for neurodivergent folk oftentimes (arguably not the 'right' or 'respectful' way) the only way to learn, is in the moment-by-interaction. digitalised communication is a haphazard, to say the least. Being or identifying as 'highly sensitive' doesn't >equal< perceiving contexts or situations through a 'given' lense. I do agree to a degree, just not with how you cast off critiquealls, the same way you object to them opponing. We are a human being. Be mindfull.
Unbearable to listen to. Her voice, tone, not sure, I can't explain, all I know is that I had a very (VERY) strong reaction and particularly unpleasant sensation listening to this woman, was just horrible. So rare this happens to me and always have wondered why. I mean absolutely no disrespect to that lady.
@@DrMewer I don't think it's the speed to me. I just couldn't follow, period! It's all chopped up. I watched half way through and couldn't handle it anymore!
I have noticed in my 73 yrs that I do like certain voices, and not others. She’s AN EXPERT in this field, though, so I’m gonna be patient. How do I change the speed ? TY !
48:50 What? Why? Im highly offended. If it has been proved that we are different and we assess different gender wise. Why make it acceptable because of "NEW" ages? Sorry Dct. but WTF??? man and women has not changed forever now
Change is the only constant in life. No, MEN and WOMEN have NOT changed forever now. Yet they are changing, some more than others. Most humans still either own a vulva & womb or penis & testicles. Most modern civilisations on this planet are still deeply rooted in and upholding patriarchy. Your, to me somewhat disproportionate, reaction expresses unease and anger. At what I wonder? The human condition means we are complex beings no matter what gender we were 'assigned' at birth. Everyone, He~She~They, Fe~male or otherwise specified/unspecified, matters. Maybe consider turning your offence into wonder and curiosity. If the shifts in paradigms are too unsettling, you're entitled to hold onto what matters to you. But being offended by other fellow humans expression of their experience/reality, however skewed it might be to you, seems narrow-minded in the grand scheme of things. The human race will continue to procreate and we all die one day. Live and let live. Not that long ago it wasn't acceptable for black people to travel on the same bus as white, and women having the right to vote was an outrageous thought/concept. No offence intended, just my pennies worth in response to yours.

I hear you.
Gosh, many of the comments make her sound like a monster! Relax people! She did a fine job!
Right! She took a lot of time to gather and share this. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. 😂
for real, why don't they turn the video speed up if it bothers them that much, ffs

If you have adhd, I suggest you play this back at 1.5x speed

Actually you can speed up the video in the settings, x1.25 for example
@@guillaumeb6698 I think it was their subtle way to remind people of the speed function on RUclips

Let's not forget that occupational therapists such as Dr. Jean Ayers has outlined sensory processing issues since the 1960s!

I couldn’t pay attention to this. I’m not trying to be funny or mean either. I tried.
I think the speed should be doubled.
I HAVE to watch 99% of videos at 1.5x the normal speed. Sometimes 1.75x. It’s the only way I get through these seminars
same here. shoot out to the ppl, who invented the speed up button! Life saviours!!!

"so, lets get started, So..." 5:05
Any medication for HSP?
Weird no pic showing here in video, why?
The presentation was fine, what the heck is going on in this comment section?
4:26 "What, Um..."
How does SPS relate to SPD as well as hyposensitivity?

Why dont yall go study a PhD degree become a Dct. and Present a seminar ? Be patient!
Her book is $105. Why?

try listening to it at 1,25 or 1,5 speed - helps with the superslow delivery and creates a little bit more flow
