hi welcome to my channel my name is amanda and i am a neurodivergent woman and inclusivity advocate i have off ontasia sdam and maybe even autism so let me explain so authenticia is the inability to visualize in your mind's eye so when most people most of the population if you ask them to visualize an apple people can either close their eyes or just think about an apple and to me magically see one they can think of the color they might even be able to taste it in their mind or listen to the crunch i'm a
total aufant i have no senses in my mind's eye i cannot see this apple i cannot think about what it might taste like you know all of those things sdam it stands for severely deficient autobiographical memory and what that basically means is that i cannot relive my memories in first person a lot of times i don't even have memories of growing up and if i do have a memory it is just a very basic list of facts there is no emotional ties to those memories of fantasia and sdam so far are not in the dsm-5
which is the book for all mental disorders and psychological profiles it they are fairly new discoveries and still being studied and as for autism i have we are on a journey to actually get my children diagnosed with autism and as i started learning more about what a female presenting autism looks like a bunch of arrows started pointing back at me this is also my chance to kind of explore if possibly i might be autistic too and um eventually hopefully get a formal diagnosis so welcome to my channel this is going to be a personal blog
my recollections and you know just a place to learn and discuss about neurodivergent community so i look forward to meeting each and every one of you and hopefully we can have really great discussions in the comments
