    Professors in university always say, “get into groups” and I want to run out of the room, screaming.
  • @Nelliebabygirl
    Hysterically crying because you’re the first person to ever get me. My therapist led me here.

    "I want to temporaly be not existing, like a PC Hibernating" This hits too close!

    I was SO HAPPY and relieved when she said straight out what I was thinking : Why are all of you NOT anxious?
  • 23, just diagnosed and I finally don’t have to feel “too sensitive” , “weird”, “dramatic”, “too intense”, “too quiet” , etc. I sent this video to those closest to me and now they can have info to understand me as they never did when I was growing up. And I understand so many things I used to have no answers to. THANK YOU!!! And thank you to everyone out there sharing accurate and helpful information! ♥︎

    Waking up about an hour before I get up, as she said, is super helpful.

    "I am more worried about the standards i hold of my self than I am of yours" The entirety of my world. People have been telling me " YOU'RE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF" My whole life. Now I truly know why. Sadly enough, this is 8 years after i attempted to take my life..and am in a wheelchair permanently now. Parents...please pay attention.

    I don’t know if I absorbed any of this so I have to watch it again

    Autism (& ADHD) explains the confusing struggles that I've had all my life. I haven't been able to understand this about myself until this year--age 35! It's a relief to finally understand what is going on with me. I'm not broken, I'm autistic. My brain is a little different & everything is going to be OK now. Thank you for educating people.

    Sarah Hendrickx is the only person I will really listen to when it comes to understanding and problem-solving autism. Being on the spectrum herself, and having the ability to describe it, puts her miles ahead of a neuro-typical trained in psychology or autism. Sarah has said things that have stayed with me for years and helped enormously. Thank you Sarah for your work.

    Thank you so much Sarah Hendrickx for sharing your story honestly.
  • @debrawilson238
    Every teacher and member of staff at every school should watch this.
  • ...the more you try to fit in...the more you bend away from yourself...that hit hard😢😢😢
  • @mrstew65
    This seminar joins all the dots that health professionals have failed to connect for years. Absolutely fascinating......
  • @DS-uy6jw
    Depression is from the past, anxiety is about the future. That's a totally genius way of putting it. I didn't realise the difference for years. Thanks
  • “Those things won’t go away, but the way they feel about themselves will change.” Wow! That’s the key! That’s what I’ve been missing.
  • @kajielin4354
    The fact that not everyone has a baseline level of anxiety that is basically always there, and only sometimes more and sometimes less, was a revelation to me. You could ask me at any time in my life if I feel anxious in this very moment and the answer is probably yes. Also, that lamppost obviously is a dog with a headscarf! haha

    I think an important thing to understand about why girls don't say no is how much more dangerous it is, and how rarely our no is listened to.
