Video

PBIS doesn't work. Classroom teachers don't have time to apply your one size fits all theory. You have wasted taxpayers' money.

I looked up this video because someone in a Facebook support group said to look for things by Sarah Hendrixx. I hope that now, 9 years after this video, more people are finding through social media that they are not alone and other people feel that way too.

Jammer dat wij de slides niet kunnen zien.

Dr estuve en chile en el congreso quisiera más información del.programa happy.

A lot of what you tell is recognisible for me

Very well explained

The ending is the cherry on top 🍒 thank you so much.

This video is very interesting but I hope if you write as subtitles to take a note especially for those whose English is not improved and need those informations in his/her studies

Considerate and very gentle, but just waffles on too much, not enough substance. But I like the guy, very caring you can tell.

Interesting how the dialogue has changed since this video was recorded, from referring to someone as “having autism” ( as if it’s like having a cold, or having chicken pox) to now recognising someone as being Autistic.

Very good explanation

I have been thinking for a while that many so-called “autism symptoms” are just the responses anyone would have with enough stress … at some point even “normal” people will rock, bang their heads, and self harm … all it takes is traumatic stress- and many of these “symptoms” were first cataloged in mental institutions that were later shut down over abusive practices… on all their inmates - not just autistics …

Be a little careful, though, with exercise - many autistics have a co-morbid condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - a connective tissue disorder which causes joint dysfunction - and they may need a specially designed exercise program… I do agree though that happiness is better defined by individuals than “criteria” - especially given that autistics are often highly sensitive and introverted - which “differing reward system” may course is to need a less chaotic life with just a few solidly reliable friends…

People constantly criticize any creativity that emerges. You are shamed for being different

This is bullshit backslapping tripe. PBS tries to chnge Autistics to make OTHERS more comfortable. It teaches masking. It is abuse.

Such good common sense.

God can’t possibly want this lonely hopeless hell for His children. I’m at 48 not formally diagnosed but there is so much trauma around all the opportunities in life I’m not able to participate in without driving self and others nuts, the alienation in spite of all the invites… just this war w yourself that happens when you have an ADD, AsP, BP2 , and then add biculturalism and a spiritual war on top of it and it’s just too much. It’s to the point where I don’t want to believe because when I believe nothing happens and that makes it worse being rejected by a Father. I can’t always perceive I’m losing it and these last three years have been such hell I honestly think ayahuasca or death, either one may be the answer.

I wonder how common some degree of face-blindness is in those with autism? I've never met anyone else who admitted to it. Whenever I go to an airport to wait for my mother, I worry I won't recognise her (though I have, so far). Hair and voices are my clues. So interesting.

You should do fencing perfect for ashbergers..

Take a breath....let us absorb the last sentence.

My Grandad used to say about me, “Too many brains & no common dog”.

This woman is AMAZING! She has such wonderful energy, empathy and strategies!! She is truly a lifesaver!!!

Thank you for all your knowledge and lectures :)

is your humour really necessary ? keep that in stand up

:( can you link the slides or splice them in as stills?

thank you DR Sandy

Very boring speaker

So great!

My heart breaks for you. I can relate after just discovering I am autistic at 74 having had a lifetime of rejection. But, I know God made you as you are and you are perfect in his eyes. I will pray you meet some other aspies who will understand you and appreciate you and that you change your mind and don’t give up on life.

Well explained

I can't recognize my crash

Loved the presentation

Peers in the autism community is hard to find where do you find others

All about compromise and respect for who people are and their right to be so

I always worried that others wouldn't believe me when I said I was autistic because I slam also funny and the comic one in a group. Sarah just explained why I turned out like this! Not being adept at small talk, being aware of looking serious and unapproachable, making observations not others would notice, and so on. I'm glad to know why I turned to this niche when I tried to fit in and that I am not "faking" being autistic because I was able to make my life easier with the "being the funny one" strategy.

💛Thank you💛

very informative but way too fast for me and too much info, Got to slow it down, take pauses

This video is disgusting. As an autistic adult and registered psychologist i got 11 seconds in before the offensive language you use could no longer be tolerated The term challenging behavior is offensive because it puts blame on the (autistic) individual for daring to be "challenging". This kind of language is not ND affirmative. It pulls focus from the environmental, sensory and social triggers of the behaviour which is vital to be ND affirmative and puts focus on the negative effects of autistic communication on the recipient (usually NT staff). PLEASE for the attention of any service provider out there this video is not endorsed by autistic adults and the language is not ND affirming

u swore

What's different now than say 20 years ago? Dating sites exposure access infedility......and 1 in 50 kids with autism. Bacterial infections such as tetanus, sepsis, strep and syphilis have alot of the same behavioral symptoms as Autism. Why do they have an unhealthy gut to begin with? Maybe a bacterial infection was there since birth.... Syphilis causes brain eye ear teeth skin(excema) bone defects. Unfortunately being pregnant it creates false negatives called the hook effect. Too many antibodies from mom and baby can't be detected with standard testing methods. It can be acquired by eating or drinking after someone, kissing, sneezing and hereditarily. It has the ability to mutate our genes so it basically goes unnoticed and disseminates quickly in children to the organs instead of lingering in the blood. So no a simple blood test won't work, if you can even get a doc to agree to one. This is probably why now we are seeing multiple children in families with autism, it never got treated while pregnant. Unfortunately if the symptoms are subtle, doctors would rather call it Autism than a possible STD while pregnant. $$$$ true testing is with a PCR, not blood. If its spread by mucous, it makes sense to test it that way. I'd like to see a study with autistic children being treated with penicillin to see if it has any effect. Good luck. If you don't believe me, here's a pediatric infectious disease doctor claiming the facts www.nature.com/articles/nrmicro.2016.141?foxtrotcallback=true journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/CMR.00070-13

he is a genius

Autisme Centraal, it is not a train station :D:D

This was a great video and I intend to use the site for more info

I love this. She is amazing. Great video,thanks

6:45 This is funny. As someone who can recognize faces to some degree but mostly default to remembering people by their hair. Which is problematic off course when people choose to cut or color their hair and suddenly I can't recognize them 😅 Or two people have a fairly similar hairdo/color and texture, and so in my mind they become to same person. I'm not great at linking the right name to the tight face eather, and so shuffling two names for the same person without really knowing that is the case gets real confusing. Or, as I currently do, work with several young men who chose "bald shaven" as their hair-doo, and apparently also chose to wear glasses - yea, that's an immediate lost battle for me 😂

I like the theory but it's not often put into practice. Further it seems a bit presumptuous to suggest that behaviour that is challenging to others is necessarily aggression or self harm or harm to others...it may be repetitive speech out of anxiety and other manifestations of communication attempts. I also find that this approach puts the onus on the person and prescribes the 'challenging behaviour' and the associated 'positive behaviour support' as characteristics of the person and the PBS is a means to control or redirect that behaviour (even if there is an understanding of why the person reacts this way). To me it starts with the relationships...and from there the quality of support the person has around them. It is not that any supporter is doing something wrong, but often what it is that they are not doing, or what they are missing! Even the name of this strategy Positive Behaviour Support is a clear indicator that the developers of this still assign it as Positive Behaviour of the Person as if they exhibit BAD BEHAVIOUR, rather than that the support provided is MISSING THE POINT and that it is the SUPPORT that needs to improve!

I also make jokes with little facial expression that people miss.
