- An inspiring new project aims to challenge how we think about autism, reframing it not as a disability but a difference.
We’re often led to believe that intelligence is an objective measure. Dr. Sue Fletcher-Watson and Dr. Catherine Crompton, researchers at the University of Edinburgh, seek to turn that framework on its head. In their Diverse Intelligences project, they are exploring the social intelligence of people on the autism spectrum.

How do you make a autistic scientist cry? Show them a video of the results of a research study that validates their personal experience and the experience of their family members. I'm still processing the personal impact of these findings and the crazy amount of future studies this result gives rise to. A great thanks to the academics committed to performing research that explores neurodiversity and to Templeton World Charity Foundation for funding the pipeline to get academic research to the general public.
I feel you. Completely.
@@sirbobfritez13Thank you. The world has changed a lot since I made that comment, but the feelings are still there.
I am On the spectrum and I taught for over twenty years.I had many different says of doing things and most parents loved my style and interactions with their children. Another amazing thing was that autistic children would gravitate to me and we could communicate. The major issue was I didn't know I had autism. I spent most night's crying and struggling to think like "normal" and most days the administrators would be looking last the amazing outcomes of the children to tell me how I better start fitting in. I learned just recently that my mental health team didn't tell me the dagnosis, but they were teaching me the skills I needed to cope and have less anxiety. I think keeping it from me just perpetuates the monomer that autism is a deficit. As I get around more accepting people, including those like me, I can care to be extraordinary!
I want this project to go well. The current autism narratives need a change, especially with ones coming out such as "it's fashionable to be autistic". I'm looking forward to the team's results.
Yes-just retired from Los Angeles Unified School District as a school psychologist-I am tired of these people with very few autistic characteristics and they have limited understanding how those with severe characteristics are in a completely different sphere than them!
Sonny's comment about "doing a lot of simulating" about what other people might do or think really hit home with me. It's exhausting.
I've always said that autistic people don't have worse social skills, just different. I used to be sent to those groups for autistic kids where they try to teach you how to make friends, when my biggest social problem at the time was having too many friends!
Great video! Excellent and up-to-date info, breaking unhelpful stereotypes. Great work coming out of the University of Edinburgh. As an autistic person and a resident of Edinburgh, I really hope this good work continues.
I'm from Understanding Autism The University of Kent course on FutureLearning and this is a great video
An absolute yes, to the need for autistic teachers. But, realize that some accommodations might be in order, to enable the those important contributions. Schools are set up for a neuro-typical population. The demands of the typical public school day can be doubly challenging, calibrated as they are, with the neuro-typical professional in mind. Consider the buzzer that sounds the end of every school period. Consider the executive function demands made during each and every 10 minute interval? Maybe air traffic controllers take in, judge, monitor changes, and sort more critical factors than the average teacher in the average classroom. But, I don't think so.
It is compassionate to look for greater accommodations. However, I suspect that the largest difficulty will always be the stigma associated with autistic teachers rather than the work itself. Do remember that even though the autistic individual may struggle to acclimate, they are not strangers to the school system any more than a NT would be. To graduate in the first place, they would have had to develop regulation abilities. Once in place, they would still face wide stigma. Education IS currently a hostile environment for NDs, particularly around attitudes of a perceived deficit. Teachers in this position will face skepticism from parents and children about their ability to teach. And from those who train them.
Interesting. It seems this kind of experiment is very very specific though. My autistic brother wouldn’t have any problem communicating about building a spaghetti tower. His challenge is not understanding that randomly talking about Russia when meeting his newborn cousin throws people off. It’s that type of free socialization that I’ve seen him struggle with most- not ever anything with specific detailed instruction. So I guess I’m just thinking that the creators of things like this are demonstrating something most people familiar with autism already know- most autistic people are awesome with tasks like this and should totally be accepted into any task driven situation- just don’t expect the conversation to go without some speed bumps
I don't think that is a fair assessment at all. If I was talking to your cousin while meeting his infant cousin I would absolutely prefer to discuss Russia. His conversation has speed bumps when interacting with non-autistic people, but he may find conversation with you awkward and uncomfortable. So much small talk. It isn't a deficit. It's a difference.
Loved this video!
But confused by the statement “noise in the data”?
It is a euphemism for "eliminating extraneous variables in testing conditions."
Very interesting study. It leaves me wondering how much anxiety plays a part in disrupting communication between autistic and non-autistic people or whether it is purely down to different communication styles. I would think the two groups would feel more socially accepted and understood even before any communication starts when working together in their separate groups. Unless of course the two groups were unaware of which groups they were in before the experiment began ? From the video it suggested they knew which groups they were in, but perhaps this wasn't the case.
3:55 the one year/MMR vaccination is not safe. I witnessed my oldest child, who was speaking, and doing amazing achievements, turn off like a switch, after that battery of “vaccinations”. He didn’t speak again, until age 3. I witnessed this, and swore it was autistim. Fast forward sixteen years, and he doesn’t have autism…but I do. I’m not sure what I witnessed, but it wasn’t healthy.
Fab video!!
So you excluded people with profound cases of autism and now you say that there is no problem with communication with people with autism?
Exactly
Narcissism is also becoming more prevalent. Echolalia is clearly perseveration of failure to flatter the primary attachment figure into dialogue. Refrigerator mother hypothesis was abandoned because mothers stopped bringing their kids in for treatment. Who cannot figure out that a mother who doesn’t want to know if she accidentally created her child’s distress puts him or her in unending distress? Cluster B mothers lack insight. Young adult autistic females are developmentally unprepared for motherhood but often babytrap to secure their futures out of fear. BPD is inevitable sequelae of untreated (alexithymic) postpartum psychosis in ASD.
Autism is induced by neglect as a result of a Munchausen type impulse for the child to become “unborn”. Every kid needs to be the most important thing in his or her mother’s life for a time. Obviously, our unusual interests are the result of interactive underexposure to typical options. Even Alice Miller bought the acts of her clients’ parents and only realized they’d abused their kids as consciously as she had when her waiting room emptied out. She walked back the title of that book pronto when she realized they weren’t going to fall all over themselves thanking her for showing them what they were “accidentally” doing wrong. “By gifted she only meant the ability to intuit and placate the abusive parent.” LMFAO yeah right.
53 years old male. Figured out my autism last year. Also figured out I was diagnosed Asperger w/ IG at age 10. My whole adult life every time my mother came back around it was to enjoy my misery when someone had died or when I was sick or to pathologize some disappointment, but never as autism. My dad used it against me to steal a business from me based on my autistic special interest, which I didn’t go near again for another decade after that. Autism is severe narcissistic scapegoating. Of course that sort of disturbed parent wants to kill the projectively split-off persecuted self. Isaac was a smokescreen for the Abrahamic filicidal impulse on Sinai. He was never going to kill the favorite. LMFAO. The one he really wanted to kill didn’t even get mentioned in the story that nonetheless used him to portray his father as divinely favored for heroic obedience. Autistic naïveté is adaptive to surviving this kind of parent. One autistic scapegoat regulates a parent with undiagnosed psychotic illness for however many other kids they have.
Quite clearly 80% of Alzheimer’s patients being female is natural selection prioritizing the relative mental health of the primary attachment figure during her childbearing years and geriatric dementias are end stage regressions in psychotic illness that correspond to 75% of autistic and schizophrenic patients being male. If there’s an early-onset dementia it’s schizophrenia but surely undiagnosed autistics experiencing catatonia (like Howard Hughes) are still being misdiagnosed as dementias. Please pull your heads out.
Unfortunately stupid is worse than evil, atleast you can reason with evil, irrational, inattention autistic people's behaviour is very similar to narcisism imo.
Is there any way to access the paper for the social cognition study referred to in this video?
Hoping for a cure.
I don't want to be cured! Are you trolling, or being kind (I can't tell). It isn't a disease, it is a difference!
You cannot "cure" genetic diversity or neurotypes. They are the result of millennia of evolution and occur naturally. Unless you meant, a cure for ignorance around autism! ;)
