Really impressed with the way you positioned the characters in the screen. The psychologist dominated the screen, but the patient was lower in frame and further back. The disparity made them look small and vulnerable.
Is replying with an anecdote just an autistic thing or also ADHD? Actually, it seems lots of ADHD creators and autistic creators are talking about many of the same traits. The DSM is truly lagging behind what ND people know and learn about their own experiences, and I often wonder if this is like that story about describing bits of an elephant. One page of the DSM sees an ear, a tusk, and eyelashes and calls that list ADHD, and a different page of the DSM sees a tail, a trunk, and skin and calls it autism. But no one who wrote the DSM knows that live elephants even exist, and certainly can't seem to accurately describe what it's like to be an elephant. What I mean is, doesn't it seem like ADHD and autism are incomplete lists of traits for a much larger thing that we (who are currently called autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD) each have some traits of?
I actually adore this video because it breaks my heart to hear someone so deflated as they're talked down to and treated like they're broken or a burden on everyone else, allistic or autistic, it doesn't matter. It's always wrong to make people feel othered.
I really like this video, not because it's throwing neurotypical treatment of ND people in their face, but because it shows one reality that a lot of people don't realize. Many mental disorders are only "disorders" because those traits dont contribute directly to the way society is structured. If assertiveness, constantly initiating physical contact, and socialization weren't valued, NTs would be ND and visa versa. If your thought patterns and behavioral tendancies dont match the world you live in, you will be othered and your skills wont be valued.

This is absolutely incredible. Thank you for making this, and for showing allistics how they speak to us.
Goddamn, that was cathartic.
You deserve to be more widely seen. This stuff is great. I hope this comment helps to boost you in the algorithm, even if only a little bit
Everything helps! Thank you so much!
