These are from a video I watched this morning. LINK
From the video:
At minute 49: Neurodivergent kids describe someone whose brain works differently and not defectively.
At minute 1.14: There are certain areas that neurodiversity will take you to the level of excellence. We need neurodiversity people because they are the original thinkers. They are the individuals who can find answers to what no one else can.
My thoughts:
Yes, these are the kids who are being flushed out of the system who David Brooks spoke about. LINK
These are the kids that Maggie Chiang spoke about. LINK
From the video:
Ivy is good at drawing but not good at sports and academic but lacks social skills.
At minute 3.05 School presents many challenges for a neurodivergent child.
Listen to Jayden who is autistic and highly intelligent.
At Minute 5.12: Many neurodivergent kids are perceived as troublemakers.
At Minute 9.40: School life for Lincoln was very hard.
At minute 10: Lincoln was home-schooled. This was because he could not go to school as he was paralysed by anxiety.
After all these interviews and studies no one has learned why these intelligent kids can’t read.
Most of these kids will end up as artists, tradesmen, businessmen, etc. If they are taught to read, they may end up as scientists and inventors.
These kids
can’t read because they can’t blend letters taught with extraneous sounds.But, look at the way they speak.
When will these educators ever learn?
