Saskia top cognitive strengths are verbal language and executive functioning.

Great video, it would be great to hear more about emotions in love, what is love, what is being in love, i.e feeling butterflies? Could being in a relationship be one sided re masking? How does a neurodivergent understand being in love when discussing with a neurotypical. 🤔

me watching this having just left monte 3 (it was amazing i recommend so much)

We were abused at a school in South Africa by a religous hypocrit called Johan Wagenaar . Those kind of people will go to Hell.

The island princess is the best it is not princess and the pauper

Can you make another health and social care revision video please

Hi saskia, 180 per week is now rent for university accomodation. What do you recommend university accomodation or shared flat or house?

I have a question. You said you bulk ordered ink, but could you not buy anything else with that allowance or could you only buy ink?

I love love love this! "would you like to demonstrate this?" "No" Perfect!! Why do they always ask these nonsensical questions, why don't they just say "I don't think you can do this, because you don't look like you pay attention (eye contact) so I'm gonna force you to demonstrate this in front of the class in order to embarrass you in front of your peers to shame you to change your behavior to be what I want." I would love a world where people spoke that way, it would save me several minutes before I realized they well full of bs and are incapable of earning my respect. You are refreshing and wonderful! Thank you for being honest and being who you are!

ty

no city accom?

could i please ask a question, would this be considered a routine or ritual for eating... i used to be over the top about blowing and wiping over my utensils and plate / glasses and such, and if anyone put food on my plate without me doing this and making sure theyre clean i would absolutely lose my head, and my fork, knife and fork i would place them in a specific place and make everything very even and spaced out equally infront of me on the dinner table, yes or no?

Wait so that's why people think I roll my eyes when I don't!!

I would have put Barbie diaries a little higher other than that loved the video

I love brushing my teeth 😂 i rock from leg to leg and spend at least 3mins brushing. Longer if I'm using a manual brush!

"Just lie, exaggerate, and bullsh*t, and get good grades" 🤣🤣 Lmao

whether its cos I used Clinical needs , but I had 2 assessment sessions. with 2 different people , the 1st I did alone,tht one I was asked about scenes from a children's story book, asked to explain what was happening , in a story format, I could only say what was happening. then I was asked to pick up 5 objects and make a story from them, I couldn't. the 2nd appointment , again online ,my informant (my mum) sat in on , which was hour band half, was much more intense, asked my mum alot about my early days, school, which like you I hated, for me cos i couldn't make friends, I was heavily bullied, right through school, physically and mentally, I was the school punchbag, which has left me scared of men and many types of women in my life, and I still have trouble making friends at 63. I now have alot of mental health problems, severe anxiety and depression . I've also been bullied mentally in my adult life too, that's what caused me to go sick from work in May 2021, ive been a bus driver since 1985, and it was nat at point that the bullying at work from other drivers, was affecting my concentration , and I had 2 accidents and 2 seriously near misses, none of them proved to be my fault, but I was scared for the next incident to be a fatal incident, so went sick, not worked since. my anxiety and depression has got much worse, and in therapy, which hasn't helped, only to highlight that I needed both ADHD and Autism screening, which I had at the end April/early May 2024, im now waiting my diagnostic feedback phone calls, on 21st June for ADHD, and @6th June for Autism, I was booked for the Autistic feedback call in 5th June, but it didn't happen, found out next day that it was cancelled, but I wasn't notified, the Clinician needed more time to complete my report as there were 2 questionnaires in my portal still not completed, so I completed them on 3rd June. I'll comment or make a video if I'm able to when I get my feedback reports I n the phone calls, the written reports can take up to 6 weeks to receive by email.

how would they know if you were autistic from the getgo? Honestly I don't think it works like that. During the assessment your symptoms may or may not be present, but your history carries more weight.

Hi did you get any money as well as all that stuff you listed ?

This was posted two years ago, but stil relevant and very helpful thank you. You said glen, wessex and mayfower are social, do you know which of these have more international students, to meet new people from different cultures:)

Oh i hated PIP so much, felt like a second class citizen in mine 😅 I have my assessment tomorrow hopefully its much better ❤

So many of your experiences you stated were/are many of my struggles! One of the big ones I had forgotten about was the fact I would completely lose it when anyone tried to put socks on my feet, never liked them!! when I was 4-5, they didn’t care just yelled at me I had to wear socks bc that’s what people do, but I could feel the thick seam across the bottom of my toes and it I absolutely couldn’t stand it. I learned to ignore my body’s internal tension and just “go with it” on surface level. Still hate socks, if I do wear them and go to sleep(rare) I’ll wake up and find them in the sheets where I’ve taken them off in my sleep. My body knows, I just have learned to ignore

I was just wondering what is the difference between private accoms and the actual uni ones because for 24/25 year Orion point is 160 a week whereas the actual uni ones are much more expensive.

princess and the pauper and princess and the popstar were both always my favs, i can make a whole video defending princess and the popstar

Thank you

I so relate to this saskia! I’m going to move into a house from kings estate next year and they are being such an irritant bunch! They are constantly being greedy for money, being extremely unprofessional. Constantly sending us emails about documents to send that we had sent them multiple times

Anyone waiting should have a look at solutions 4 diagnostics, I went with my right to choose forms to my doctor on Monday and by Thursday afternoon they contacted me and sent me the forms I needed to fill out, I filled these out straight away and they emailed me back with possible appointments which I went and booked in for next week, all in all less that 2 weeks from when I went to the doctor to getting my assessment, very positive experience so far

but literally everbody hates ib

Thank you, beautiful. Your story is meaningful and helpful. ♡ I get the frustration and the struggle. Wish you good healing.

These are all common problems around almost all the other Universities out there. C'mon we've all dealt with the same 'relatable' stuffs at our home Uni. You suppose to be lacking initial research prior to choosing the right university suitable for your "Course". Anyways.

I studied at Southampton from 1979-1982 (yes, that long ago!) and was in Connaught Hall my first 2 years. Your video certainly brings back some memories!

thanks so much very helpful video ur great

I don't believe you are autistic. I think you're a liar.

Luckily i'm only staying for 3 years then going to bath uni for another degree!

I did the AQ about 5 times a month or so apart and have gotten 45 each time.

Thank you so much, my part 1’s are soon

Thank you girl I was so lost because our teacher keeps telling us we will do ERQ practice but we never do and we only ever practiced SAQs ❤❤

Thank you for this video, Saskia. It was really helpful and reassuring. I'm on the waiting list for an assessment. I was diagnosed with adhd last year at the age of 57. It explained a lot of things but there was still a big piece missing. Autism will fill in another big piece of the puzzle that's been my crazy existence 🥴

hey - thank you for making this video, it was rlly helpful! i’ve just been accepted to MyTutor and was wondering how long an average tutor session lasts and how much you get paid from one session. thanks 🤞🏽

First part is so true because I never knew they were the same thing 😭😭.

I had an assessment yesterday. I was diagnosed at the end of the assessment. It was similar to yours in the way it was just a conversation, there wasn’t any weird tests or anything. It took about 4-5 ish months total from beginning to end.

I'm 62, I have 2 autistic gr,sons, one savant one none verbal. I know I'm neurodivergent but need assessment which happens in 2 hours. After watching Saskia I just hope I have all the correct responses for the 2 consultants. Done weeks of research but feel extremely vulnerable and afraid they'll misunderstand me.

Thanks for making this cool video. Doing my form just now, and really anxious. My sister says I'm definitely autistic and she's known for years. I'm really old now, but I want to know too. I did one of those on-line forms - I know they're not uber reliable, but it said I'm like off the charts. I don't think I'm that bad, but I kinda just know I am autistic.

You don’t have autism ‘Babe’! You just don’t like the fact you have a personality disorder. The way you refer to people in authority as ‘babe’ is down right arrogant. Deal with your personality disorder. Viewers, watch her and compare her with other influencers who have confirmed autism. Compare and contrast this with someone who has borderline personality disorder.

helppp im going in august

What's that background noise? It's very irritating.

Each experience differs Unfortunately depends on your leaders and wave managers

🏆 Great Video

Good to hear what you've been eligible for with dsa. In my first year, I got approved for DSA for my ADHD, then got an ASD diagnosis halfway though the year and got that approved (though what they could provide for ASD was virtuallythe same as ADHD). This year, I've added POTS to the list, so have a review this week! Also, yes, keep going to with PIP. I just had mine approved for ADHD, ASD, POTS, and Anxiety :) Good luck!
