Neurotypical Black & White Thinking... Autism & Society
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- Autism has an image problem. People see autism & autistic people as being either profoundly disabled or "high functioning" - a black & white way of thinking about people. Where does this limited and harmful idea come from?

we should learn not to treat any person as burden ... it's not a good feeling for anyone.
I sought therapy and support after my self identification. I can find no adult support and the professionals at the therapy office could not comprehend an adult autist!
Thank you for another great video. Your work is so precious to our community and for our families,friends,employers and NTs who seek to understand better our uniqueness.
We have so much to offer and contribute to this world , wherever we are along the spectrum and whichever other condition we may have 💛
Remember not to think in black and white about us NTs. We all start out thinking like that, but there's a few who end up realizing what's going on. There's something about being human and thinking in black and white..
Our representation in real world and fictional media is a constant source of worry. It either paints an "inspirational" picture or a "tragic" one; in the news especially. Instead of this "one size fits all" approach which I keep trying to defeat to various results, the right level of care/cost needs to be directed according to the individual. I usually find that the Volunteering Sector is the most open-minded and was devastated when the current world crisis prevented me from attending. (Hopefully to be remedied. It's proving to be very detrimental to my mental health.) I also have dyspraxia and no doubt could be diagnosed with other conditions, but I rarely trouble professionals. Most of my problems come from the "B & W" thinking described here. I look forward to the next lesson, since this is bothersome to both sides. It's always more complicated than that. ("Taking the Moral High Ground" is probably linked to "B & W", but we are also more flexible than the stereotype suggests.) Thank you for this Bulletin.
I love the Star Trek reference on the title card: Those aliens that have white on half their faces and black on the other, that was a good episode
Yet again, you've knocked it out of the park, Quinn!
Thank you!!!
Thanks Allan 👍
Well put. Heh, i seem to mostly get told i make other peoples’ lives difficult.
For sure, I’m happy being me, but life is like an endurance course for ND’s where it’s just a “daily day” thing for NT’s
Marvelous! And great shout out to Ann! Thanks to you both 💜💜💜
Ann does tremendous work for our community. I hope viewers take the time to take a look at her blog - it's enlightening & empowering reading.
Thanks, as always, for commenting 😊
@@Autistamatic agreed!
Spot on!
Thanks Jen ☺
Really interesting and great as always, thank you!
What this guy said. Absolutely all of it. I’m tired of the bs.
I really love your videos
Wow, Quinn, all this about drugs and bleach (WTF) is really scary stuff. I know the broken person bit and the inspiration porn; (I get it as a blind person off the back of more than two millennia of fear and myth from Homer to the present day) but I had litttle idea about the industry behind autism. While I have already lost a friend or two through letting them know I'm seeking an official autism diagnosis, I had hardly a clue that all this other stuff was going on. Until a few weeks ago I had no idea I might be autistic - not because of anything but what I thought I knew about autism, so perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised. It's only through my therapist - herself autistic and your invaluable channel that I'm re-learning and resonating with so much of what you're teaching. Perhaps I may finally find out why I haven't seemed to fit in anywhere my entire life and why, despite all that I've managed to achieve, I still feel like a loser because trying to be successful in a world which makes so many demands which I can't seem to meet has become too difficult. Of course, there is also a sense of liberation that it's okay to feel what I feel and do what I do even if it does extend to enjoying the sound that a saucepan lid makes when it's rattling around in a tumble dryer.
catching up with my subs after no proper internet & glad I started with this :)
great video, again!
Glad you're back in internet land 😊 Are you all settled now or still in limbo?
@@Autistamatic not quite there yet, but well on the way. can't wait! :D
Thank you for another interesting video!
Than YOU for watching & commenting 👍
Thanks for this. Just now realizing I'm likely Audhd. I thought I was nuts for suspecting it despite meeting most criteria, until I see these videos reminding me that most Autists aren't disabled. I struggle, but I still am independent, have two degrees, and many fine jobs on my resume.
I am a neurotypical and a lot of things people think of as neurotypical behaviors are actually maladaptive behaviors that get normalized. This all or nothing, rigid inability to admit you don’t know about experiences you don’t have mentality, is one of them. We may use platitudes like ‘you can’t read a book by it’s cover’ and ‘you never know what battle someone is fighting behind the scenes,’ but then we get rewarded socially for saying ‘I saw a movie about that and it’s nothing like your story so I think you are wrong.’ They do it for me with my sexuality and because of my sexuality. I unlearned this young because I didn’t have a life that produces conventional people who can’t wait to be suburban normies. I had a lot of ups and downs and less common experiences as a kid. It shaped my tastes very early. Luckily I have an adoptive family where conformity wasn’t really valued beyond something you did for a job interview, to do well at work, or to get a promotion. At least one is neurodivergent and I suspect the other is on the spectrum but never felt the need to be evaluated. They didn’t condone my attempted middle school normie phase. They only discouraged tattoos that might be an issue at work one day, and they wanted me to think about any tattoo or piercing for a long time, and be safe about it. Mom took me for my first at 18. They were happy to support my music and movie tastes and accept my weird friends. So I unlearned the natural aptitude for seeking external validation in my teens after I realized faking my tastes and interests for the rest of my life sounded way too rigid and monotonous for me. I actually don’t like routines if I can’t break them or switch it up, and I know a common association of autism is that you are all supposed to be resistant to change. But that’s actually a behavior I’ve found is pushed on neurotypical people by society. We are just supposed to be flexible if it conveniences the masses, at our expense. But otherwise we are expected to love our little neurotypical normie box where everything is beige, universally liked, non threatening and mass marketable, and stays the same for decades and decades.
It’s important for the NT community to learn how to say ‘I’m not an expert’ when they aren’t, and generally start questioning the idiosyncratic behaviors that we value but don’t feel natural… because I’m finding more and more behaviors I have to unlearn as soon as I recognize a different way. Valuing social norms has a time and place but it’s actually used in very damaging ways to make the masses compliant.
Wow makes a lot of sense! Great video
a friend explained me about the Antifa - it is a livetime job - like to be political as an Autist
Thank you for your work. It helps.
I''m 77 and have just figured out I am autistic last year. So I will not be found on anyone's statistics, ever. I won't bother getting a diagnosis, since I don't need it. I have a very high IQ and some social skills, which explains why I was not identified as autistic or even learning disabled. Just obstreperous. I did poorly in school until blossoming in college. How many more of us are out there unrecognized?
I'm thinking about writing a story about a neurotypical Medic working with two autistic engineers.
At first, the neurotypical is hella condescending and biased. And then the neurotypical makes a bunch of stupid decisions, refuses to listen to her autistic colleagues because she is biased, has to get her ass saves by them. And her reaction to that is shame and denial.
This would happen often throughout the story, and at the end, the neurotypical has to admit that her two autistic colleagues are much better at problem solving than her because their brains aren't occupied with social rules.
Oh, and that story would be told from the pov of the autistic people.
Writing it for autistic audience; perfect.
Writing it for neurotypicals; needs to be from their perspective, or empathy will be near impossible.
@@trollsneedhugs Switch back and forth between the perspectives and capture both!
GrGreat video
Some loud noises out of nowhere in this video (like at 3:41)
I feel like "is there hope for AUTISM" parade @ like 2:16 magazine cover is a perfect (literal) poster child for why people say "Oh but you don't LOOK autistic!" these days so much. Plastering a pretty regular looking kid on the cover in huge print says to the people "THIS IS THE FACE OF AUTISM" so strongly. Which is weird when it's just kinda a generic white boy. Like what purpose is that serving? Showing a 'normal' looking person and saying "LOOK AT HIM! HE'S HOPELESS WE HAVE TO SAVE THIS POOR SOUL" with your text. Anything besides autistic/ND acceptance and pride, for lack of a better word, really just makes no sense, does it?
