I don't know if this has been posted before but it is pretty good. he is addressing NTs and one of his comments at the beginning talks about how one problem for us Neurodiverse is how we are treated by NTs, so that made me prick up my ears. I didn't agree with a couple of things he said but that didn't make me throw the whole thing out. His section of diagnosis of female aspergers (now ASD-1) was quite good and had some good points.

I do agree with a lot of what he says and I find his voice calming.

LOL Xatrix - I know he has a nice voice and seems sensible. I must look for other videos of him if you recommend him so highly!
