Other than the fact that she thinks Autism is caused by vaccines, which I do not believe is true, I love this video. I am not going to get caught up on the whole vaccine issue which has been debated to death. But I will just disregard that point because it is not the point of the video. So I hope you will enjoy the rest of the video and just leave the whole vaccine thing out of this discussion.

Thanks for sharing this thought provoking video. I'm not into all of the spiritual language she uses. I agree, however, that many people with differences believe they are here to get people out of the standard box they've been put into. I definitely feel this way, seeking out the uniqueness in others. It's boring when everyone's the same. :)

The lady in the video also said that people with autism and ADHD just can't seem to focus on things they don't enjoy. She said to meet such people where they are, allowing them to initiate their own learning. I love this approach, although I have no idea how we should bring it into practice. Also, there is a certain amount of discipline fostered by focusing on boring tasks, and as much as it sucks, I would not want to deprive anyone of it. Dealing with boredom is a necessary life skill. Although I don't generally have major problems focusing, I don't deal with boredom very well over the long term. I'd like to change this.

Interesting, Person, she thinks that our very thoughts cause what happens which I could manipulate to have complete joy come, though that would have a negative purpose on my soul.. Rather interesting by Experiencing complete happiness I'll turn evil and complete sadness will turn into goodness. Therefore by my very virtue of being abused in my live I would want to be enlightened. Though there is problems with this. which is that if you want something good to happen you will continue to have bad things happen.

What she is talking about with the thoughts is more like the more you focus on things. the more that vibe is attracted to you. You know how people who are only negative will always seem to have negative things happen to them all the time yet people with a positive outlook seem to have more positive things happen. It does not mean that nothing negative will happen or that nothing negative will happen to the negative thinking person, but it's just kind of a vibe thing and an outlook thing. And when we are more positive, our brains actually do respond to that and endorphins are released and and it kind of makes "everything better" for lack of a better word. When we are always negative, the brain also has a response and that really affects our daily lives. And people we come in contact with respond to our vibes that come through. So your thoughts really can affect your life tremendously.
