I'm autistic myself and really liked your talk. Also saved by my dog on a daily basis.

" communication only exist when the information is received and processed " what a great teach!!!

[@christopherhennelly7486]

Thank you for doing the talk. I understand so much of what you have shared. I'm 57 years old, my brother is 58. We are the younger of six kids. I have struggled with understanding the things you spoke of. I cried when you started to choke up. Peace. Keep doing public speaking you are gifted.

[@raynalreyes5769]

I never comment on videos but I'm going to start to hope I can release some of my thoughts, and hopefully relate to some people. This was very touching and I really enjoyed the mix of comedy + reality...this man is inspiring.

I am very pleased that the Autism Spectrum is comming to be more and more understood, and not as a disability. Only that not all of us are made the same. I have a Godson who was born autistic. His mother, my Goddaughter who is the most courages young lady I have ever known. To give birth to him and care for him from the age of 13. It wasn't of her own free will to have him. To take care of him was.

Thankyou❤

[@amybe3]

Thank you for sharing this, it may me cry. I love someone with autism and that person that most people love the most, is my son.

[@StevenTookey]

You are a good man my son has autism and he is lucky enough to have an older brother like you thank you for doing this and letting people know and understand ❤

[@CalmintheChaosHomeschool]

I love your humor. Thank you for helping us look at the challenges we face as parents of children on the spectrum in a more light hearted way.

[@amelienicole-g]

My sister has a rare chromosomal abnormality and a secondary diagnosis of autism. She is seventeen and I am nineteen, freshly moved out of home, away from my sister for the first time in my life. I loved the humour and empathy in this talk- thank you so much for sharing your experience.

[@ragdollpetgrooming2565]

By far the best explanation by family member I’ve ever seen

[@honeyhoney6920]

Really resonated with this talk, even 8 years later. I wish a part of me had seen this earlier, but I'm glad to have watched this. ❤

[@patricia_anotherway]

Thank you for sharing your story with us and giving us language to understand the journey of our son. For sure this will change our lives and his. Sending gratitude, abundance, and love to your heart. Thank you! 💛🌸

[@DillyDallyDiane-t8s]

I love the different perspective !! This brought tears to my eyes!

[@jackiemitchell8869]

I love your comments near the end about autism and ADHD being cognitive variations and not deficits and dysfunctions.

[@alleycat616]

At the same time I don’t think it’s realistic to say that. These behaviors are often very dysfunctional in our society. That’s just the reality. Most people don’t understand. So I don’t think it’s fair to act like these are just simple variations of normal either. If it were, people with autism, their families/parents, teachers etc. wouldn’t have so many struggles to keep things functional for everyone.

[@shahidahmed5779]

One of the best TEDX talks I've heard

[@evelynspaghetti4978]

I know this is 7 years old..but so much gratitude to the the speaker, Royan, for sharing his story. That was incredibley moving and informative. Thankyou so, so much ❤

[@chloesance699]

[@raynalreyes5769]

The same, I value you for pointing this out Chloe!

[@everettcoleman2335]

My eight year old brother is autistic so this really hits home for me

[@whitenymphwaterlily]

"let that sand go... the beach is much more beautiful when you do so..." love that..

[@mariajattan5093]

How beautiful speech!!! I got emotional when you did. Best wishes xx

[@saraelizabethdiamond1951]

Beautiful story and lesson. Thank you so much for giving us your perspective!

[@SincerelyReal]

Thank you for sharing, your story is very touching.

[@Echoer_24]

16:45 This talk resonates with me so much, as the youngest and with having 2 differently abled siblings, it’s been hard to understand to say the least. I appreciate your view, and I hope to be able to see their weird as normal.

[@rosewater6456]

I have an autistic son. I think your brother may have treated you as a stranger just because he was out of the habit of being with you. Not that he had forgotten you. I also think that he may have pushed your daughter out of jealousy. My son was upset when my daughter was born. Sometimes they feel like they are being replaced and that doesn't feel good.

[@theresamuschkat191]

Thank you for sharing your story Royan!

[@zeynepbilgi]

Particularly heart touching after 17.40

Please refer to a "closed" Facebook account, "Westlake Academy Charter School Corruption & Administrative Retaliation" which lists the City of Westlake/ Westlake Academy School District's legal representative's PRIVATE email discussion between (1) the Texas Education Agency legal counsel representative and (2) the parent's special education law firm during administrative due process hearing for Child Find violation. The parent's lawyer sent the school lawyer's private email discussion to the parent in ERROR. The school lawyer's private email and other numerous email correspondent letters data shows CLEAR evidence for SPECIAL EDUCATION CORRUPTION and substantiated proof for federal and state violation in acts of CONSPIRACY to defraud a Federal funded program and the government

[@nou5913]

only just now learned its still inequitable? Capitalism and equity are complete opposites smh, how could you even think that for a second

[@vanessam.84]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@pizzagroom6221]

very typical of a sibling to turn their sibling's autism into a humblebrag about themselves

[@garrettfisher4721]

'Differently abled'? Jfc...but I did enjoyed your talk

[@Z1X1473]
