I was just told at 44 years old that I have ADHD. After being told I was lazy , not listening , day dreaming , no motivation , no ambition and gifted . After starting medication I can hold a conversation , I can focus on one task at a time . And finish it! I have energy to go to the gym! That thing that needed to be cleaned for so long , got cleaned .
How cool to think we could all have a unique view that others cannot replicate and that it has insight that others don't have.
First podcast I listened to all the way through . Thanks Guys! Very interesting conversation .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Million thanks for sharing the vulnerability! This is gold!
I had a hard time in school too. For one thing I often have black + white thinking. That means that the school rule "no talking in class" was seen very different by me than by my classmates. They would blabber away and I never said anything. I didnt want to get sent to the principal! Who would? I mean I was a big rule followerer. Which apparently also goes with autism. But years + years later I actually ran into one of my grade school teachers. She had recognized me but I had no idea who she was. Anyway she had said to me "you were always so quiet in class. You never said anything!" And I reminded her about the school rule, no talking in class. She had such a shocked look on her face, mouth dropping open and all...
But back in the late 70s + early 80s no one knew I had autism. I am part of the "lost generation". So I grew up in a regular class. Was bullied + ostracized too..
My family never went to doctors either so...
But I see things different than other people. I think differently... And my diet is very different too. I am almost carnivore now due to lots of food allergies.
But I never did any dangerous stuff. I am a huge coward. I do ride horses now. But I was diagnosed in 2020.
Diagnosed with ADD my myself can't help finding, instead of focusing on the talk that Derek looks and sounds very much like Chris Pratt, is it only me :) Derek, can Chris be a relative of yours? Very good conversation, guys!
Very interesting talk that brought me a needed perspective on the way people think differently. It also brought questions to me about the way my own mind works. While I don't think I'm on the spectrum I see similarities in the way I think to a neurodiverse mind.
there are a lot of similarities Dan. especially as the pace of life "speeds up" and gets "more interconnected." The more this occurs, the more often we will see neurotypical people feeling a lot like or resonating with neurodiverse people (and wanting to claim it as a "disorder"). The difference is, as I say in the podcast, how much damage its doing (historically) to your life. By way of example, alcohol, in and of itself, isn't a problem, unless it is ;-) ...then we call it alcoholism.
Hi guys, thanks for sharing on this topic ! Derek, I'd be interested in finding out more about how you overcame the challenges of not fitting into the system as a younger student to ultimately earning a PhD? [What was that journey like?] I'm also curious to know how your personal experiences within the school system have influenced your approach to teaching. #askingforafriend
If you fall off the skateboard in the wrong type of area going at a high speed you will need stitches! 😮 there is a connection right there. And then some unfortunate body part will look like a quilt until it heals.
I have autism by the way.
Thank you!
Enjoyed the video🙌
Btw I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, While watching I noticed a few opportunities to improve the video, I've prepared a short video outlining some tips. Mind if I sent it over?
Sure!
Oh, so knowledge is brain poop. Got it.
Or YT video fodder?
