Facing Adversity with a Grin (with BSL) | Jason Arday | TEDxLadbrokeGrove

[@YardyBritishfamily]

As a mother this is an inspiration!!! 🙏🏽😭😢👏. My son diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder 2yrs ago. He walked at 3yrs. He only talk when he was 8yrs. Now he's 11 and Learning to read and write. His communication is still developing. I know he will improve becausei believe in my son. 🙏🏽

[@brianabrom6115]

We are so quick to give up on those who don't fall into the norm. This young man make me realize that out of billions of inhabitants in the world there are differences in the way of being and learning. Perception does not come upon us at the same time. This young man's journey is truly remarkable indeed !

[@adamasidique9965]

As a mum with a son battling with autism am inspired by this ur story. And I would wish to connect with u and be my sons mentor. Thanks for sharing ur story and giving us hope that our kids are amazing. ❤

[@legacyfootprint4461]

I am in the same situation. My boy is 6, non verbal and being diagnosed with same disorder as Jason. His life has most certainly given me great hope for the future.

[@PhytoMycology]

I love that he always says "We" and "We did" to remind him and remind us that we always achieve and persevere with the help of others (friends and family). That he/we couldn't have done it without them.

[@charmallen7856]

Thanks for sharing my 2 grandchildren born autistic watching this give me hope. God bless you. ❤🙏🏿

[@sandramakwikila4392]

I know for facts that autistic people are incredible and neuro diverse should be embraced in our society. 😊

[@innereyeproductions992]

Gosh - what an incredibly inspiring story and individual.

[@fenlandwildlifeclips]

Not all of us have someone who inspires us like that... some of us have to inspire ourselves.

[@SaintLaurynn]

And once you do you inspire others so no one feels how u felt, which then inspires others to inspire others.

[@levmoses742]

Another reason I’m grateful for KZbin and meditation classes; there’s always someone to inspire us and/or remind us to love ourselves.

[@fenlandwildlifeclips]

@Lev Moses I think he means someone who guides you & believes in you.

[@goldenchristine4431]

I knew I was meant to see this Ted talk when I saw it was 13:33 minutes long with over 22000 audiences. It spoke to the aspiring professor in me.

[@mimowangari5168]

There is hope for Autism !! Only if we don’t give up on our kids

[@eduquest13]

Dearest Jason, keep sharing your beautiful and amazing stories. Thank you for being a true inspiration for us. 🤩😍 It must be a true blessing to be your student❤

[@keithmutamba1395]

I relate to you so much Jason. I want to develop more despite my circumstances I want to draw more from my bank of potential.

[@carlafonseca3623]

I loved so much watch your story, thanks very much. God Bless you everytime.

[@savingday]

I listened to his interview. He is an intelligent and humble man. I wish him all the best for all the academic and social works he is doing. I hope he doesn't get bothered by the haters (thought they were some)

Amazing and inspiring 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@taleisinclair4359]

Would have liked to know in more detail exactly how he studied and what routine he stuck to. There are too many gaps in this story.

[@enthusiastagirl]

You’re only given a short time slot with Ted Talks…

[@bridesnyc]

100% you are right. He also has a brother with ASD and wondering if he is successful as well. He said he had an hearing aid wondering if that was the issue and no really ASD.

[@enthusiastagirl]

@@bridesnyc Yep. There’s an assumption that hearing aids give you back your hearing and they don’t. They can give you an overwhelming amount of sound that makes it hard to distinguish one from another. Which no doubt as a child is very hard to comprehend.

[@bridesnyc]

@SamHarper.. Having an hearing issue is different than Autism. Many kids that has been given the spectrum DX due to many health issues that can be helped with medicines they come ahead and then autism is gone. It was NO Autism. Biomedicine has been a great help. Also would like to know if his brother has follow the same path since both were DX with ASD. DONT GET ME WRONG he is amazing and I am very happy for him. Anyone who works hard to succeed in life deserve an applause and consideration. God bless him.

[@marykathrynsimon1236]

It’s a brief talk so let’s allow ourselves to imagine that his story is an inspiration, not an exact template for another person to follow or criticize.

every cell in the body regenerates over 7 years, so despite these childhood vaccine injuries there is always hope to recover. Well done!

What childhood vaccine injuries?

Are you refering to MMR jab?

I wonder if his brother is doing as well as he is.

[@Emanu2018]

I don't blive him until i see his videos in childhood 😢 because i already lose hope in my son sorry i can't handle it anymore

[@doddsalfa]

He doesn’t mention when he had a serious car crash and was in a coma for 8 months

[@DiasporaMotivationalBroadcast]

Great testimony, will do better with a different intro. Please consider!

[@SomebodyOnTheInternet98]

The audience keep missing his wee jokes and it’s honestly so upsetting.

👏👏👏👏

[@SpeedbirdAfrica]

How amazing it must be to write am exam as a student & when you've passed ,they'll address you as " Dr". 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@whitetiana3022]

you don't write an exam to get your phd. you write a dissertation. the fact that you didn't know that.... the absolute state of you people...

[@lamueldagon7618]

​@@whitetiana3022It's not really necessary to have such a disparaging tone for lack of knowledge.

[@aaronsswank]

interesting ted

[@whitetiana3022]

an example of his work: title: "Dismantling power and privilege through reflexivity: negotiating normative Whiteness, the Eurocentric curriculum and racial micro-aggressions within the Academy" spelling errors: "mirco-aggression" and "suboardinated" grammar: "The narratives proffered demonstrate the subtle but *powerful ways in racism* unfolds *within in* the Academy and the nuanced, everyday forms of racism that persist against a backdrop of Whiteness." his abstract is a mere 165 words long. i have no idea how someone with such an incredibly poor grasp of the english language managed to get his dissertation accepted. there are MULTIPLE grammatical and spelling errors in the abstract alone..... not only can't he spell nor use grammar correctly, because apparently he couldn't have asked a friend to read his paper and help him correct errors, his sentences often don't even make sense. he throws around large words which he doesn't seem to fully understand the meanings of. i am absolutely baffled at the quality standards at cambridge these days. but you all don't care about that do you? the average education level of this comment section is elementary school.

[@savingday]

I am guessing language is not his strength by our standards. But considering he didn't start off at a level like many of us, it is still very astounding.

[@whitetiana3022]

​@@savingday "but considering". i'm sorry, we're making special considerations for professors now? being a professor is about being at the forefront of your field not about how much disadvantage you were able to make up. additionally this isn't even a question of language being your strong suite. it's a question of laziness and low standards. no one says you can't have a friend or colleague proofreading your material before submitting it. back in my day, a measly 10 years ago, something like that would have NEVER been accepted by reputable journal and a university would not have been caught dead with a professor who makes such trivial mistakes. call me old fashioned but i believe in upholding certain standards for positions who's occupants we consider to be the utmost experts in their respective fields instead of pity clapping for the disadvantaged person catching up.

[@horticulturalharry9246]

The term "microagression" seems to be commonly used in todays society, by individuals obsessed with looking for slights. "To the scared man in the forest, everything rustles". I admire his resilience, but not his view of our society.

[@lamueldagon7618]

​@@whitetiana3022You are really cynical, perhaps his neuro diversity requires allows a more nuanced form of communication.

[@Ella-ly6uh]

There are people who inspire and people who absolutely drain you ... Oh dear, I sincerely hope you don't work in education. Also, were you never taught that we start a sentence with a capital letter? You may also want to consider refreshing your knowledge of how to use punctuation marks correctly. Your incredibly judgmental, shallow, sad comment is riddled with grammatical errors. Oh, the irony ...
