It changes the question from 'what's wrong with my child?' to 'what does my child actually need?' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN3uU0H44Zs https://www.youtube.com/embed/BN3uU0H44Zs 2026-06-20T00:00:00.000Z yes https://daveharrison.com/watch/normal-was-never-real https://img.youtube.com/vi/NUAMr90xumY/maxresdefault.jpg Normal Was Never Real What gets rewarded is sameness. What gets punished is difference. That message is sent every day in classrooms, and most people never notice it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUAMr90xumY https://www.youtube.com/embed/NUAMr90xumY 2026-06-06T00:00:00.000Z yes https://daveharrison.com/watch/what-a-shower-actually-costs https://img.youtube.com/vi/hKjAP-lZJ_4/maxresdefault.jpg What a Shower Actually Costs By the time they arrive at school, a significant amount of processing has already occurred. The sensory load doesn't look like anything from the outside, but it's real, and it's constant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKjAP-lZJ_4 https://www.youtube.com/embed/hKjAP-lZJ_4 2026-05-23T00:00:00.000Z yes https://daveharrison.com/watch/why-stimming-deserves-the-olympic-medal https://img.youtube.com/vi/MIyn0QlpZ_E/maxresdefault.jpg Why Stimming Deserves the Olympic Medal The stim came first. The body processes before the mind can articulate. Flapping, running, rocking, these aren't interruptions to communication. They're often the beginning of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIyn0QlpZ_E https://www.youtube.com/embed/MIyn0QlpZ_E 2026-05-09T00:00:00.000Z yes https://daveharrison.com/watch/every-behaviour-is-trying-to-tell-you-something https://img.youtube.com/vi/Ip2Gz62thKA/maxresdefault.jpg Every Behaviour Is Trying to Tell You Something When she got in the car and the door closed, she could finally put down the backpack. The sound of it hitting the floor is what I was hearing every afternoon, not defiance.

The question is 'is this the right environment for my specific child to participate, regulate, learn, and feel safe?' Those are different questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTIJEKnaU0U https://www.youtube.com/embed/xTIJEKnaU0U 2026-04-11T00:00:00.000Z yes https://daveharrison.com/watch/a-world-not-built-for-everyone https://img.youtube.com/vi/MMx_Amcr8kM/maxresdefault.jpg A World That Wasn't Built for Everyone We're doing enormous work to help neurodivergent people understand the neurotypical world.

What he didn't know is that the rule was context-specific in ways he couldn't have seen.
