1. Students all have different brains and will react differently to both threats and rewards on a daily basis. These are controlled by students' overall hormones and daily interchange of emotions.

2. Students' brains are constantly giving individuals direct feedback, however this feedback is constant self reflection, and this is where mindfulness and being an openminded learner can come in handy.

A common saying I say to my students (and one that I try to live by) is: If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
I try to come into work everyday with the mindset 'never a bad day', and I try to keep in mind everything could always be worse. I hope that that mindset rubs off on everyone I talk to everyday!

The social brain will react to both threats and rewards on a daily basis. Human brain thrive on being accepted by their peers and the feeling of reward and feeling good about one's self.
The brain will release adrenaline and cortisol when a negative feeling is felt such as a parent being angry with you before realizing what the real problem is with their child. Once they are not reacting to emotions/feelings, they will react differently once they realize the true situation. (Most times :-)

"Our brains don’t always operate in isolation from one another."  I never really put much thought in to this, but it is so true.

Our brain is constantly providing us with feedback on our social interactions with others. This resonates with me because my brain provides this feedback during and after social interactions. Sometimes the feedback becomes a bit overwhelming. This is where mindfulness practices are helpful.

We need social interactions to be healthy.  We discuss Social Health the need to belong to a group.  The video sums that up perfectly for me.
I also like how it showed that 9 out of 10 people can give you positive feedback but all it takes is one person to ruin your day.

Today, the workplace is one of the biggest social environments the brain experiences.

We often trigger a threat or reward response to the people around us. We may not even realize we are doing this.

I like both of these takeaways. Even as adults, we often miss cues that hurt our colleagues. I think kids miss a lot of those too.

1. Humans thrive on social interactions. This developed as means to increase chances of survival.  Today most of our social interactions happen in the workplace.

2. Our social interactions with others can trigger either a threat or reward response in the the people around us, often without us even realizing it. For this reason we must be mindful of how our interactions may impact others.

1- The work place is the modern day reflection of "survival" in groups.
2- While most people are hyper aware of their social standing, it still seems that others are unaware or un-phased by social faux pas. This is independent of any ASD.

1. Humans thrive on social interactions and without we might have become extinct.
2. How you interact with the people around will also have an affect on them.
So the message you sending with your body language or facial expression could have a negative or positive affect on people around you.

1. "the next time you interact with someone at work, consider what social messages you may be sending, and the impact you may be having on their brain".
This is a great takeaway to remember, you don't always know how others will take what you have to say.

2. " Our brain is constantly providing us with feedback on our social interactions with others".
Be mindful of the way you act around others
