Adult Diagnosis & Regret - Meet Orion Kelly That AUTISTIC Guy

[@jonthomas7657]

Orion. Music resets my brain better than any mental exercise. I too will listen to one song for extended periods of time. You are an inspiration to me and thank you for allowing people a little view of what it's like to be you. My daughter and I joke between us as to how would you describe to a normal person how purple tastes and what silver sounds like. 😊 Try processing that and that is how I feel about normal everyday things others take for granted. Peace to you my friend.

[@aliceturcotte9503]

A lot of people are bashing the music but it’s actually keeping my audhd brain stimulated trough the whole video !

[@TheVOLTAGEVIDEOS]

I see this is an older video. The music does make it distracting. But I even saw a video from someone else with quiet music and it was equally as distracting. Always like your videos. I always referred to myself as weird. In 4th grade the school psychologist said I was just "different. "

[@jamesmckean3221]

Great first video, mate!

[@spectrum_outl13r]

lol music is my oxygen since i was a wee one. i can listen to my current song/album/artist obsessions for months on end. keep it up orion you are doing great work for us! we appreciate you and you’re inspiring. i’m joining the efforts and writing a book from the perspective of a super late diagnosed autistic 54 female with PTSD GAD and several others conditions. watched the vid with neil yesterday and you guys are my brothers from another mother-cheers and best to you and yours!

[@Allthepills]

That's a cool beat. I missed half the video though because of the song

[@CSIPiper]

Same. I laughed bc a lot of us, the target audience, are probably driven nuts by all the racket. 😂😂😂 it’s totally something I’d do though trying to make my video more professional. 🤣🤣

[@nnylasoR]

This had me both rolling in silent guffaws over your awkward small talk chit chat, and hurting my neck by furiously nodding in agreement. I’m glad I decided to check out some of your original recordings. Say hi to Cheesy Voiceover Guy for me! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@orionkelly]

You survived my first ever video!

[@beccismith4454]

I actually really like this video! Thanks for recommending it three years on… 😀😺

[@nnylasoR]

@@beccismith4454 haha Awesome. For sure! You’re welcome… 😆🧡👍

[@TheVOLTAGEVIDEOS]

​@orionkelly you're first? This is great for the 1st one. I could not do it. You are very good with the broadcasting and editing!

[@NeonCoffeeCat]

Omg that conversation with server guy is about 80% of my conversations with other people.

[@twillbdone3273]

I don't get the truth/lie thing either. Not only am I 'brutally' honest, I want others to be brutally honest with me. I invite it. I speak clearly my want of the truth and the others just can't do it. I know they are fabricating and tell them they are and they just won't come clean. My solution is just to interact as little as possible. It's all just a waste of my time. The others have a word for it. Hypocrisy.

[@alexpavalok430]

I've learned that you have to accept people how they are if you want to find peace with people. You cannot expect people to be different than their nature. Having more realistic expectations, or even better, no expectations at all, can help prevent you from becoming frustrated.

[@bjumorrisdatter904]

Ya, all that fru-fru, sweeties stuff at work really irritates me. Just tell me the bottom line. Am I fired or do I get a raise? (got the raise by the way)

[@Rightchickenwing]

Would be great to hear more about your book mate, do some little shorts you reading random parts of your book?

[@cellardoor4182]

My question is how you get along with other autistc people. For instance I can be an information dumper. (But the information is important!) And i wonder how much I, as an autistic person, would tolerate information dumping in someone i am talking to. Are autistic people irritated by the autistic traits in others the way nuerotypicals can be irritated with us?

[@mejaymusic]

The local community event one got me 😂

[@shiny6123]

Great great 👏🏼👏🏼

[@singingway]

I could get what you're saying better if you would cut OUT the background track

[@WVgrl59]

True

[@blondequijote]

NO. THIS WHOLW VIDEO IS MY NEW SUMMER JAM! I'm cranking it up right now!

[@nkleeman07]

I just stumbled here after watching tones of videos. And i think i just relaized is the into supposed be a jab at masking? Because it just dawned on me why it says, your neurologically different host(which i didnt put thought into), is probably significant...lol😂 Is this why i enjoy learning so much? Im always surprised when things like this happen. If its not then still, I find it amusing.

[@alexwelts2553]

Interesting. Im 43 and just realized a couple years ago why im like this and I'm not diagnosed, but im clearly on the spectrum. I don't mask, and have always been outcast. What would you suggest for someone like me who now finds the society that hates me, trying to colonize and harvest everything about me that I have become from a lifetime of no validation or support.?

[@cyndimoring9389]

I'm a newly self diagnosed autistic trying to understand how to contain my weird brain and just discovered The Untethered Soul. From the first page I found my guidebook.

[@elizabethCorkins83]

Wow, Idk why your older video popped up. (Maybe 1st video?) I've been watching your videos for a couple yrs.

[@martynmitchell8569]

At to turn off after a couple of minutes, background music driving me mad

[@orionkelly]

I stopped using them after a few early videos. Thanks for your patience.

[@chrispbacon3042]

Subscribed😁

[@orionkelly]

Appreciate it.

[@AprilWeingarthFlatt]

How do I find my core passion/interest? Throughout my life I've always had an interest in medicine, law and gardening but one doesn't stand out? I'm a late self diagnosed adult (although its been unofficially confirmed by my therapist) and find many things resonate with me but I don't know what my special interest is that would help me thrive in employment. I enjoy your videos and love to see how you've grown and changed from your start to today.

[@orionkelly]

OMG I'm sorry you had to sit through my first ever video.

[@imperfectly_megan]

I think pick two. Focus on either law or medicine for a career and gardening for enjoyment. :)

[@AprilWeingarthFlatt]

@@imperfectly_megan the reason I didn't go into law is because I don't like conflict and I'm worried about having to go to trial and argue cases. I guess there are lawyers that don't go to trial but I'm not sure what field they work in. At 55 I don't know that I could get through an internship or residency if I went to medical route. I don't know that nursing is an option for me due to the physical demands as I have a bad back. Thanks for the suggestion though I guess I'll keep thinking about it.

[@severusbyron2045]

Subbed yesterday

[@lasalaverria]

Thanks for this channel. Im neurotypical (i feel not body is 100% typical) Very interesting in the topic because i may have someone in my life has not been diagnosed and i feel it makes that person suffer so much and i don't have any idea how to help if i should tell or not... there is another guy who has a channel who said you shouldn't tell.. what do you thibk?

[@orionkelly]

Bring it up gently and organically.

[@Rightchickenwing]

4:28 it's crazy because making a KZbin channel in itself and talking to the camera is making the person to defy their autistic traits!!

[@Internalflow33]

Thankyou🙏

[@towzone]

Can we get early intervention for neurotypical rigid thinking and fear of differences?

[@Kmno444]

Our child’s preschool is doing just that. It’s wonderful.

[@authoremilyjosephine]

Wow, I'm REALLY glad you've stopped putting music in your vids. The particular style in this vid is TOTALLY distracting and I'm feeling irritated trying to get through the vid. Like I'm Highly Sensitive, or something. lol

[@elizabethCorkins83]

7:54 "My Friend Autism" Podcast 👍🏻

[@tiffanylbacon]

Why is the NT way the only way to be? I’m questioning so many things since I found out I’m autistic. I’m about a month in and talk about mind blowing!!! And I have no idea what I’m passionate about because I’ve spend a lifetime masking and people pleasing so I have no idea who I am. Hello 50 it’s going to be a wild ride.

[@masterelectriciananthonywr739]

Google video, thumbs up 👍

[@orionkelly]

Thanks.

[@turtleanton6539]

The music is to distracting

[@RevanEde]

Background music is very distracting. 😕

[@orionkelly]

It’s my way of showing people what it’s like to be Autistic! 😀

[@RevanEde]

@@orionkelly 🤣👍🏼

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes it is

[@AutisticAwakeActivist]

Yes I do that , info dump rant etc 😊

[@Nickface81]

Sounds like 90's porno music!😂

[@elizabethCorkins83]

4:13 lol 🤣

[@PumpkinSpicePretzels]

How could someone regret not being neurotypical? They never decided to be neurotypical to begin with.

[@krugerfuchs]

Do I regret not being neurotypical not for a second I feel sorry for them

[@PumpkinSpicePretzels]

Why hate the term "high-functioning" with autism? I self-identify as that since learning I was diagnosed as that. I consider it derogatory at all. However, I don't consider it my base identity, it's just a way to explain to people why I am the way I am when they struggle to understand (as long as I'm not being a dick I guess).

[@karmicscope5259]

Great video, but omg I wish you wouldn’t play music in the background of your answers. It’s making me crazy & it’s soooo hard to pay attention to your answers. I keep rewinding. It’s so overstimulating & the volume is competing with your voice. Pleeeeaaase stop.

[@orionkelly]

This is my first video ever. Seriously, I stopped soon after.

[@stanharrison8046]

I hate the background noise!

[@starryday100]

Tbh I am a woman who was diagnosed with Asperger's in my adolescence and I hate this trend of those diagnosed as adults speaking for the community. If nobody picked up on autism symptoms until you were an adult then clearly you're going to be level 1 with little to no support needs. You're in the minority, most autsitics are level 2 and 3. But you're still for some reason championing yourself as the voice of a disability that hardly affects you. I honestly don't even think there's any point in being diagnosed as an adult. You've lived your entire life up to that point, gone to school and work and autism didn't seem to be a problem for you before, so why now as an adult do you get a diagnosis and make it your entire personality? I mean, if you've worked, gotten married and started a family then you're obviously don't fit in the category of classical autism so I don't see why you have appointed yourself as a spokesperson for all of us. I honestly don't think people should even be able to get diagnosed as adults. Autism is a developmental disability, the symptoms should be obvious in a child's development. That wasn't the case for you, so why even diagnose you at that point??

[@ShirleyM_Anne]

As a level one autistic late diagnosed, content like this is helping me cope and be comfortable with the way God made me... Life is much less stressful when you realize you don't have to mask your true self in social situations. Also helps explain why I had so much difficulty in keeping regular employment...

[@turtleanton6539]

Xdddddd

[@mimilookamie8019]

5 minutes in and we've yet to even reference the topic of the video... I'm watching your video for help and advice about what the title says the video is about.... not for an unsolicited standup comedy routine.

[@orionkelly]

You’ve come to the wrong channel.
