daniel tammet you recited the first
decimal of pi recited the decimals of
ft the 200000 514th first decimals
of pi for six hours of memory I
did not get there jozef chovanec speak
a dozen languages that sometimes
maybe learned in a week what
which allows him to travel the world
by abolishing borders that either
I did not get there the big deane a
developed a revolutionary system
for in the treatment of livestock that has
revolutionized all farms
breeding animals that adopted it
about 50% that even by concentrating
very hard that either I would not be there
come
however a common point we rully me
reread these three people to these three
personalities
I am autistic so we like it in
the autistic family often hears
an imaginary border between autistic
high level is autistic low level
in your opinion, I’m stuck in what
category you will probably say
high-level autistic maybe but if
you met me during my
childhood
you would probably have an answer all
quite different
indeed I did not speak up
the age of 6 and so much so that
that caused me a lot of trouble
school that from the age of two I was
destined for a one-way trip to a hospital
psychiatric
luckily I was able to escape
I knew how to read and write and
count before he could talk it
did not prevent teachers who
accept despite themselves at the school of
call me affectionately the brain
slow so finally fendick of me that
I am a high level autistic since
that I wrote a book
since I wrote one of the famous
autism autism has often been
equated with a psychosis
today 60% of long stays in
psychiatric hospital in France are the
made of autistic I assure you that there is
some mornings where I look at myself in the
ice cream and I say to myself phew I’m not
a statistic the autistic often
sent will often be hidden behind
the walls stuffed with neuroleptics you
will often hear in the media of
speech intended to eradicate the scourge of
autism eradicate autism autism
is particularly characterized by we will say
a form of social deficiencies that will
often she will be misinterpreted
like mental retardation
while it’s going to be a disability
apparent mentality but indeed in a
world based on the verb communication
and the picture autism will often be
assimilated is experienced as a handicap the
handicap
the question should be asked if
it’s not the society that’s
says that even apples by excluding from
many minorities to diversity
functional or cognitive profile
particular ultimately is not it the
society itself that goes into
situation of disability by depriving
skills and potential she’s going
despised for example if a building is
inaccessible for people to
reduced mobility
well you’ll see that in this
building many other populations
far beyond these minorities will encounter
problems and it can even sometimes
to be extremely dangerous so the
disability is not a matter of
minority the disability and the sphere of
the whole humanity in France while
the whole world especially by
example italy or in countries in
northern europe have made the bet
inclusion
that is to say to open the middle
ordinary to start with school to
all neuro diversity at all
functional diversities whatever she
in France we live in the country
the most institutionalized at the level of
all the differences for example
while in italy 100% of children
who are educated in France 80% of
children with autism are out of school 90%
of the autistic population in France is
Unemployed
autism is in perpetual
increase was talking about a birth
about one hundred ten years ago there are five
years we were talking about one in 50
an American study is pointing a
birth on 68 a recent study
South Korean even points a birth
on 38 autism is in perpetual
increase
some scientists scientists have
decided to ask the question with
another paradigm and if it were
before the scale of this phenomenon
obviously if it was not there
of another intelligence indeed
autism will be characterized by a
particular cognitive profile ie
that certainly he will have disabilities
but often in subjects
including nonverbal subjects the
visual memory is going to be more developed
the auditory memory goes from being
many, many more will have
the absolute ear and looms this
profile of another intelligence his
special skills that are going
be often above average
it is true that it turns out that often
contrary to what we believe
are not necessarily verbal autistic
who are going to be the most
performing in certain areas and
autistic intelligence starts to
interest for example some
governments
this is the case of the Ministry of
defense of israel
a few years ago they put on
foot a project that involved engaging
autists to incorporate them into
units
it for analytics departments of
aerial photos
this program proved to be a success
and so this program which is called see
far today the Israeli army
for nothing in the world would want to get
pass this intelligence trump
autistic in Great Britain to the kingdom
united a very interesting statistic
was released not long ago
did you know that in britain 4%
of the population is dyslexic
but it turns out that among the population
leaders and entrepreneurs
dyslexics are represented at
height of 20%
so here we can ask ourselves the question of
the tipp ism ie that
dyslexics also are going to have
a lot of problems in general
exclusion but it turns out that if
finally deprive of specificities can
could finally prove to be enough
fatal the silicon valley was built by
atypical profiles the computer has
been created by autistic people for
autistic 10 in bill gates
it’s no longer a scoop also made
part of our club
did you know that microsoft organizes
every year specialized recruitment
reserved for people with autism for
develop some programs
IT
there are even people who cheat
on their resume pretending to be
autistic to get the job
it’s hard to imagine that in France or
when you are in the spectrum
autistic in the spectrum the spectrum of
autism you rather have interest in the
hide to even that have a
chance to be educated and then
have a job
gold today there are companies that
would even have 80% autistic in
their workforce
do you know why the color of the
first social network and blue because
blue is the symbol color of
autism and its inventor in wood
notice you had problems with
communication in everything that was
order of social contexts so it has
invented the first social network that
is to be able to connect with
anyone in the world without being
force of
gone through situations where autistic
round source precisely are found in
handicap situation
and that’s how the inventions of
atypical finally benefits all the
world
the autistic intelligence is even
become a market today you have
companies specialized in
recruitment of atypical profiles
today the artistic value is in
becoming the rising value is
the safest placement for
many companies in France we
unfortunately we tend to
sweeten this issue while at
international level the world is in
to get going for this
kind of this kind of specificity it’s up to
say will put the difference
the autistic population and often
apprehended for his faults you
will often hear in the mouth of
policies that the term autism in the
medico-political world and top to little
near to the first place soult in the
playground for like a
insult and supreme insult for nady
denigrate or mocked his opponent and if
instead of park and the difference of
to create a ghettoized society
interferences with the potential of
thing that instead of being apprehended a
by a like a defect if we
were starting to apprehend autism for
his qualities I think it’s the future
we are at the dawn of a revolution
the specter of a new era is coming
and the actors of this revolution
know that a society based on
normality constraints will eventually
inevitably by choking in the
standards that she herself will have created
but the actors of this revolution
also know that the bet of the future is
the bet of atypism and diversity
I thank
