Kala Allen-Omeiza: Why Mimicking Others Doesn’t Work — And What To Do Instead
Watch The Full Original Video: https://youtu.be/cjfNY6HjTuA?si=5PkwegdqwTay25-L Tim Goldstein explains a model that captures the fluid and complex reality of neurodivergence. Instead of rigid categories, the Neurocloud model shows how traits overlap, blend, and cluster uniquely in each person. #Neurocloud #Neurodiversity #Autism #ADHD #Dyslexia #DifferentBrains #Inclusion #CognitiveDiversity #Neurodistinct #ScienceOfBrains
Tim Goldstein: The Neurocloud Model - A New Way to Visualize Neurodiversity
Watch The Full Original Video: https://youtu.be/cjfNY6HjTuA?si=5PkwegdqwTay25-L Tim Goldstein makes the case for why neurodiversity is natural, not an exception. Everyone accepts that eyes vary — some see sharply, some need glasses, some are colorblind. So why is it hard to accept that brains differ too? #Neurodiversity #AutismAcceptance #ADHDAwareness #DyslexiaSupport #DifferentBrains #InclusionMatters #NeurodivergentStrengths #CognitiveDiversity #MentalHealth #SeeTheDifference
Tim Goldstein: What Eye Color Teaches Us About Neurodiversity
Watch The Full Original Video: https://youtu.be/cjfNY6HjTuA?si=5PkwegdqwTay25-L Tim Goldstein clears up one of the most common misconceptions about neurodiversity. Just as biodiversity describes ecosystems, neurodiversity describes human groups. One person isn’t “neurodiverse” any more than one tree is “biodiverse.” #Neurodiversity #Biodiversity #AutismAcceptance #ADHDAwareness #Inclusion #CognitiveDiversity #Neurodistinct #DifferentBrains #ScienceCommunication #Misconceptions

Watch The Full Original Video: https://youtu.be/cjfNY6HjTuA?si=5PkwegdqwTay25-L Unlike most medical conditions that can be measured on a single scale, neurodivergent conditions are multi-dimensional. Tim Goldstein explain why terms like “high-functioning” don’t really work. #Neurodiversity #AutismAcceptance #ADHD #Dyslexia #UniqueBrains #DifferentNotLess #Inclusion #Neurodistinct #HighFunctioningMyth #CognitiveStrengths
Tim Goldstein: Why “High-Functioning Autism” Doesn’t Make Sense
Watch The Full Original Video: https://youtu.be/cjfNY6HjTuA?si=5PkwegdqwTay25-L Tim explains why he avoids the word “neurodivergent” — arguing that it carries negative connotations of being “wrong” or “deviant.” Instead, he prefers “neurodistinct,” which frames differences as strengths and unique identities. #Neurodiversity #LanguageMatters #Neurodistinct #Autism #ADHD #Inclusion #NeurodivergentVoices #Identity #Representation #WordsMatter
Tim Goldstein: Why I Don't Call Myself "Neurodivergent"
Watch The Full Original Video: https://youtu.be/cjfNY6HjTuA?si=5PkwegdqwTay25-L Sometimes the best way to explain a complex concept is with a simple story. In this clip, Tim Goldstein explains how neurodivergent and neurotypical brains process information differently — and why that matters. #Neurodiversity #Autism #ADHD #Dyslexia #Inclusion #DifferentNotLess #WorkplaceInclusion #NeurodivergentVoices #Communication #MentalHealthAwareness
