“People presumed I was intellectually challenged but I am not, I am smart" Just two-and-a-half years ago, non-speaking autistic teen Patrick Saunders wanted to take his own life. But now, tears filled South Australia's parliament as he bravely told how he “missed out, but no autistic person should”. He wants to make the state a nation-leader with an 'Academy for Excellence' for autistic and neurodivergent young people. #autism #neurodivergent #nonspeakingautism #inspirational #australia #southaustralia #teenparliament
Khadija Gbla had spent their whole life wondering why they felt different. On the outside, Khadija appears to have this larger-than-life personality, unquestionably confident and has even built up a career as a human-rights activist who regularly presents big ideas to big rooms of people. But inside, there was often a feeling of being totally overwhelmed, especially in social situations, a feeling of deflation when completing everyday tasks took much longer than others, and sensory and food issues. It wasn’t until two years ago, when Khadija was 34, that things finally clicked. Their son, Sammy, was diagnosed with autism and ADHD and for the mum-of-one, it was like a mirror being held up and they saw themself for the first time. “I sat there and thought: if Sammy’s like me, and he had reminded me this whole time of myself, is it possible that I am like him?” Khadija tells SA Weekend.

High neuroticism is often linked with feelings of distress, anxiety, and insecurity. If you or your partner are highly neurotic, it may reveal itself in these ways: 1. Desire to control actions and/or thoughts of partner: highly neurotic people may feel anxious when they’re unable to hear your every thought or see your every action; they often expect the worst. 2. Anxiety about everything that could go wrong: highly neurotic people tend to like to “plan” for the worst; if they’ve imagined the worst possible situation before it has happened, they may feel that they’re able to deal with negative outcomes more efficiently. 3. Frequent jealousy and self consciousness: since highly neurotic people crave control, they may constantly compare themselves to others as they may constantly be anxiously attempting to become perfect and don’t want to fall short to anyone. This can cause them to believe that their partner must be doing this as well. #psychology #neuroticism #bigfive
