How Common is Neurodivergence?

[image id: poster of "How Common is Neurodivergence?.” There are 12 circles and five small images: an image of a brain, speech bubbles, an infinity sign, a person reading, and a person surrounded by arrows and balls. Each of the 12 circles has a percentage representing how common a particular form of neurodivergence is written in Open Dyslexic font. Full transcript, more information, and references under the cut.]

More Information

Forms of neurodivergence represented here are focused on neurodevelopmental disorders.

These percentages are representative of percentage in general population and do not reflect percentages within neurotypes which are often higher due to co-occurrence being the norm, rather than the exception, within neurodevelopmental disorders; for example, 33-45% of people with ADHD will also have dyslexia (Butterworth & Kovas, 2013), whereas only 10% of the general population are dyslexic (British Dyslexia Association [BDA], 2023).

Certain neurodivergencies are often underrepresented and under-reported, so the percentages are likely to be higher; for example, one study suggests that rates for FASD in the UK may be as high as 17% (McQuire et al., 2019).

Some of the neurodivergencies represented here are umbrella terms and percentages given are representative of all forms of neurodiversity belonging to that term; for example, SpLds include dyslexia which is at a rate of 10% (BDA, 2023) and dyscalculia which is at 3-7% (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne., 2019). Tic Disorders at 1% are another example here, as this is inclusive of Tourette Syndrome which is at 0.6%, and around 1 in 5 individuals exhibit tics at some point during childhood (Cavanna et al., 2017).

BRITISH WIZARD "PRINCE" TO GET DIVORCED

Draco Malfoy separates from wife of six-years, Astoria Greengrass

London. (2007) . The new year isn't off to a good start for Draco Mafoy, head of Malfoy Foundation, inherited member of the wizengamot and SpAd on dark magic artefacts. According to Malfoy’s lawyer and former classmate Theodore W. Nott, "Astoria and Draco Malfoy decided to end their marriage but remain united in raising their son, Scorpius, in an amicable co-parenting situation. Astoria will continue to work for the Malfoy Foundation. No further details will be given".

For some lonely witches (or wizards) this might be good news, as Mr Malfoy is widely considered to be one of the richest wizards of the country. Prior to his marriage he topped the most-eligible-bachelor list and it has been rumored that the song “My grey-eyed lonely Prince”, by Patty Swift, was written about him.

Statement from Theodore W. Nott, Attorney at Wizarding Law, Spokesperson for the Malfoy Foundation

February 14, 2007

“On behalf of my client, Mr. D.L. Malfoy, I am urging the magic media to stop spreading rumors of a romantic relationship between Mr. D.L. Malfoy and Mr. H. J. Potter. They are neither in a relationship nor are they raising Ted Lupin together. Mr. Malfoy does not care about the gay part, but is hurt that nobody seems to think he could do better than Potter”.

The Ledge #543: Power Pop, Pt. 1 (The Past)

On a fairly regular basis I'm asked what type of music I most enjoy. It's a pretty tough question to answer, to be honest. The standard answer I hear in return is "I love all kinds of music", which to me is code for "I only like what's popular". Sorry, but having a playlist on Spotify that includes both Drake, Meghan Trainor, and Luke Bryan isn't the proof of versatility most of these poeple believe it is.

So what is the genre or sub-genre that is closest to my heart? "Punk" is a little too confining, and honestly there is a lot of shitty music under that moniker. "Alternative" doesn't mean the same today as it did 30 years ago since maintstream rock radio has co-opted it. "Garage rock" is indeed getting closer but still doesn't feel right.

I think deep in my heart the term power pop, or at least my version of the term, best describes my music taste. I was, after all, born the day The Beatles recorded their first single, and the first two rock and roll albums I owned just out of my toddler phase was the first Monkees record and theA Hard Day's Night soundtrack. 

My teen years coincided with the rise of punk rock, and the initial blast of punk was primarily sped up power pop. Catchy tunes played fast, and that is where my description of power pop may be a little bit different from what others consider power pop. There's a lot of bands in this genre that, honestly, sound a little too wimpy for me. I emphasize the "power" portion of the term.

Tonight's show is not only a remembrance of bands and records from that time, but is also a reaction to reading a couple of great books that I recently acquired.Go All The Way: A Literary Appreciation of Power PopandGo Further: More Literary Appreciations of Power Pop are collections of essays on the genre compiled by Paul Myers and S.W. Lauden. This led me to dig through my iTunes archives to reacquaint myself with some long lost fave, and also asked for some suggestions on Facebook.

This show is part one of a two part series. Here's almost 2 1/2 hours of my favorites from the past. Next week will be a show devoted to current (or somewhat current) bands continuing to carry the torch for guitar-driven pop songs. Do you have some favorite current power pop bands or songs? Please let me know!!!

I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or

Un algoritmo per valutare le startup su cui investire?

Valutare le startup: nel 2021 gli investimenti in startup italiane ammontavano a 1.462 miliardi di euro, valore più che raddoppiato rispetto all’anno precedente. Cifre importanti che dimostrano quanto questo ecosistema stia crescendo anche nel nostro Paese. Valutare le startup, cosa vuol dire? La domanda sembra sciocca ma nonostante in molti non sanno cosa sia realmente una startup. Per fare chiarezza, andiamo a prendere quella che è la definizione data dal Ministero dello sviluppo economico: La startup è un’impresa giovane, ad alto contenuto tecnologico, con forti potenzialità di crescita e rappresenta per questo uno dei punti chiave della politica industriale italiana. Nel 2012, il D.L. 179/2012 ha introdotto alcune misure specifiche a sostegno di tale tipologia di impresa per supportarle durante il loro ciclo di vita (nascita, crescita, maturità). Con questo pacchetto, oltre a sviluppare un ecosistema dell’innovazione dinamico e competitivo, creare nuove opportunità per fare impresa e incoraggiare l’occupazione, si vuole promuovere una strategia di crescita sostenibile. Intervista a Giuseppe Scapola, CEO e co-founder di RoundCapital Come si valuta se investire oppure no in una startup? L'abbiamo chiesto a dei veri professionisti del settore tramite questa intervista a Giuseppe Scapola, CEO e co-founder di RoundCapital: Partiamo con una domanda per rompere il ghiaccio, cos'è RoundCapital? RoundCapital è una Startup innovativa fondata a febbraio 2021 da Giuseppe Scapola e Denis Stella nata con l’obiettivo di aiutare altre Startup in vari aspetti della loro attività: valutazione finanziaria, economica e business model. Attraverso il proprio network di professionisti, imprenditori e investitori di alto livello permette l’accesso a un ecosistema di servizi che sono fondamentali per lo sviluppo e la crescita di ogni startup. RoundCapital possiede anche un ampio portafoglio di partecipazioni in startup e pmi che hanno importanti prospettive di crescita e che le permettono di accrescere costantemente il valore della società stessa. Come nasce RoundCapital? L’idea di creare RoundCapital è venuta a Scapola e agli altri soci in piena pandemia, quando si sono resi conto che serviva un approccio diverso per riuscire a individuare le startup giuste nel mare magnum di offerte che il mercato presenta. Cosa serve per capire se investire oppure no in una startup? Serve il tempo per studiare i business model delle varie società, serve la preparazione per poterle valutare e poi le conoscenze e una rete importante di contatti per individuare le migliori quando sono nelle prime fasi di vita o si muovono in circuiti ristretti di investitori che entrano solo in round privati Come nasce e come funziona il vostro algoritmo? Abbiamo iniziato a lavorare a un software, RC IndeX, sviluppato insieme ai ricercatori dell’Università di Torino, che effettua previsioni sul fatturato futuro di una società basandosi su informazioni contabili degli anni passati. Al momento l'algoritmo, basato su deep neural network, è in grado di fornire una previsione con un livello di affidabilità del 75%, ma lo sviluppo continua e il software impara diventando sempre più preciso con il passare del tempo. RC IndeX è una importante novità per il settore che risulta estremamente versatile e scalabile, offrendo la possibilità di lavorare bene anche su dati imprecisi o incompleti Foto di StartupStockPhotos da Pixabay Read the full article
