Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Perception of Emotion

[jaguarandi2]

i dont care about children! why do ppl devote their time to this?

I saved this to my pseudoscience playlist.

3 year olds... emotional issues... jeeze... verbal issues... Jesus Christ. That's just part of development. Come back when the child is maybe 10 and shows emotional interpretation issues. This is such ridiculous science. This shouldn't be qualified as science.

hi, couldn't post a comment on another video on here on same subject, so i'll express it here. I don't think it's that they don't pick up on social clues, i think it's just that they don't relate. kind of more like two people both liking chocolate, or one does and one is not drown to it because they don't have an affinity towards it? i am hyperlexic, which is very related to aspergers and autism, so i have a great understanding of this.

am i hearing correctly? you teach young children to say "i like/love you" every time they're hugged? doesn't that lead to (even greater) vulnerability to sexual abuse? we do have feelings. it's just not easy for us to identify them and articulate them. when you teach us to "parrot" some feeling automatically, it just confuses us.

If I get into UC davis, I would love to challenge their mind institute with my own insight of HFA. Their medical degrees do not give them any authority on understanding the autistic perspective. Just like many American autism associations, they fail to use autistic representatives, because they think that none of us understand our own life.

[bluebanshee3]

have you ever spoken to HFA's and AS folk about our perceptions of our own traits? why do you insist on calling this a "severe neurological disorder?" possibly it's just another neurotype. i suspect what we do have problems with is in regulating adrenaline levels: suspect they swing to extremes, causing seizures and high anxiety. (ps: leave our low cortisol levels alone, thank you very much.)

[bluebanshee3]

adrenaline fluctuations serving as triggers for seizures--not as the physiological basis.

@bluebanshee3 That's what I would like to know as well. Why not get some insight from the horse's mouth?

Awesome! Thank you, very interesting!

Nicely presented.
