My Autistic X Factor | Brynjar Karl | TEDxKids@ElCajon

13-year-old Brynjar shares how he found his "X factor" -- through a decision to build a 6.33 meter long replica of the Titantic when he was ten.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

"I'm fine with having Autism as long as you're okay with me being different." - More than okay with it. You're a gift to this earth, Brynjar. Thank you.

[@jefferyford5309]

You're an excellent communicator and I encourage you to keep developing this gift of yours. I'm autistic (Asperger's Syndrome) and I did a TED Talk earlier this year and started a KZbin channel as well. Keep developing your talents. I think you'll enjoy a bright future ahead!

I believe one of the things that help people with autism is to be on stage, what happens is the embarrassment and nervousness hits an overload then you just suddenly become numb to it and the nervousness disappears.

[@MrGojira95]

It’s more interesting to be different than being normal.

I'm a thirty-year-old self-diagnosed autistic person I only found out that I was a high-functioning autistic person because I was having marital problems I ended up obsessing about my partner whose struggles. Obsessively studied psychology human interaction and I ended up self-diagnosing my wife and found out exactly what was happening to her. I practically self taught myself at a college level psychology cluster b personality disorders antisocial personality disorders psychosis psychosis psychopathy sociopathy BPD CPTSD AND EVEN MORE. AND BECAUSE I LEARNED ALL OF THAT STUFF...... I was able to figure out that I was actually autistic because in a relationship you also have to look at yourself and cross analyze yourself to be able to do better and I ended up finding out that some of the difficulties I have is definitely autistic. My whole story is literally just me trying to say if your autistic you're capable of more than what you know and if you have an obsession follow it just like the kid in the video said it'll lead you to your ex Factor

Truly lovely video, thanks Brynjar for explaining the apprenticeship journey in the fine crafts. Long lived trades these apprentices fully believed job security, excepting years hard working watching intently his master with his finished work ~~ daily! Past viisualizations then making that mental picture material workable world held roughed hands ~~ past present future this complex time revealed.

The problem is that you must be lucky also with Autism because it can have different level of severity. From just having little problems with relationship but also not able to say a single word and also not be able to relate with person and cannot be indipendent at all. For these kind of person there's no intrested that could bring outside the autism. So this is a nice story and I'm really happy for this guy but cannot give hope for all who live or relate with people with ASD
