- As part of the 2023 Developmental Disabilities Conference, Heather Brown talks about neurodiversity and trauma for people with developmental disabilities. Brown explores the importance of recognizing individual strengths and possibilities, rather than pathologizing neurodivergent individuals. She shares her perspectives on interventions for individuals with intellectual or cognitive impairments, highlighting the potential benefits of mindfulness-based training programs. She also talks about the significance of collaboration, inclusivity, and how society can create a supportive environment. Recorded on 03/03/2023. [8/2023] [Show ID: 38878]

Are motor vehicles and motor machinery a very popular special interest in intellectual disabilities and most other developmental disabilities?
Thank you 💗
excellent presentation!
I am enjoying this presentation. It’s very comprehensive. I am a neurotypical in a relationship with a man on the spectrum and I am constantly alert for ways to increase understanding and connection. The balance between being ourselves and integrating in the world is ubiquitous for NTs as well as ASDs. I believe it’s about degrees and context. NTs camouflage in certain necessary situations as well because there is no doubt threats (judgement, social expectation, bullying etc) force our hand but the effort required to do this is far less than that experienced by the ASD, who cannot prioritize when and where to the same degree.
Life is not fair and society is taught to be afraid of differences rather than just curious. Personally, as an NT, I would love it if an ASD …. In necessary situation, just explained the behavioural differences. In relationships and friendships this allows us NTs to open our mind and understand, rather than be left wondering what’s wrong.
My own experience with my partner changed completely once I knew he had Aspergers because I could understand why he did what he did. Immediately increased tolerance and understanding.
This is multi layered and I am touching on a tiny aspect. Would love comments
Growing up as a child with ADHD and anxieties, I can totally identify with traumas children with autism experience.
I'm senior now and those childhood traumas are still haunting me. Still shaping my life.
Thank you for this lecture!!! ❤️
Dr Brown's passion is contagious thank you.
Im really learning a lot. My beloved sister is autistic and literally, she struggles dayli to keep hope alive. Thanks you a lot

☘️ my kids were part of PALS..(Peer assistant learning strategy) ... Very thankful they were able to be involved!☘️
Excellent finally someone calling diversity normal, thank you 👌
One point I do want to throw into the mix is the following. I have observed with my own ASD partner is that he has a tendency to see insults and slights where non exist. I would be interested to hear whether people on the autism spectrum are aware of this trait and take it into consideration when assuming an NT is judging them… when they may not be
Your willingness to understand your ASD husband is admirable. I have ASD as well. And I wanted answer to your question. Yes it happens often that I understand something as an insult or feel offended, while my partner didn't meant to offend me. It's because of different communication stile. My husband also feel offended when I state something, just a fact, without judging, but somehow, he felt it as criticism and it's truely difficult for both of us to communicate. Because of my Autism I have difficulty to have this theory of mind. But on the other side, my NT husband face the same challange with me. Previously we were fighting a lot, many misunderstandings. But I leaned some communication tactics. For example when we want to talk something important, we first set the rules, to not interrupt and listen till the end, we tell to each other our intentions of the talk. We ask: how do you mean that, if we feel something is hurtful or odd.
But the most important thing is the willingness to communicate.
@@safyafarooq2878 thank you for this. Yes… you are so right. I have had to develop a sense of humor sometimes when my husband comments on something and often it’s true but as an NT, we wouldn’t say anything… I never ask him a question I may get a straight answer to… and might not like. Your communication strategies are great. I am writing a book at present on the challenges between NTs and their ASD partners to try and help each understand the other
@@julieallen3372That's great! I wish you success with your book. I would like to read it. I hope many ppl will profit from your experience.
With your help and direction progress will be made. Seems the folks that suffer the most are the people on cutting edge of change in treatment . IE putting the strengths on even footing ; communicating with exceptance ; the 5 pillars are NEW- they used to go with Mavlaws pyramid human needs. Glad you have input & a voice for improvement to health cares approach
Thanks✨️
Let’s talk environmental for those physical disabled.. they need help eating lunch .. therefore they go in special education
In such cases, the medical community should try or try to research the use of alternative medicine like homeopathy treatment atleast to make the life better and to cure to some extent.
