Fantastic presentation...THANK YOU!! I have an autistic nephew who shocked me at his 18th birthday gathering. "You're my favourite...because you say things the way they are!" I was very humbled but delighted. He struggled at school despite his staggering computer skills which I always told him would become his future....6yrs later he runs a team of IT programmers and earns a very significant salary. He still prefers living in a caravan😊
This was a truly comprehensive lecture on those who struggle with ASD. As someone with Asperger’s I can attest to all the strategies I had to come up with to blend in and succeed in life.
Asperger's isn't really used as a diagnosis anymore. It's more appropriate to say you're autistic with low support needs. You didn't do anything wrong, just letting you know. If you want to know why then I'd be happy to elaborate, but It's a bit of a dark subject so I'd recommend doing research on your own rather than talking about it here.
@@FatherSpencer I understand. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Personally when I say I have Asperger’s it’s better for my mental health than saying I’m autistic with low support needed. The stigma of autism is something I have struggled with, so I claim to have Asperger’s for the sake of my anxiety.
My son is on autism spectrum and I get to learn from him so many things..I feel he is super smart and genius beyond his age..though he can't speak but his actions loudly say that he is unique and special ❤
That was THE best way to educate everyone and she proved her point through the presentation. Simple terms, easy to understand and Used logic and humour to help everyone comprehend how to approach anyone with ASD💕🙏 will truly help me speak to my four year old daughter 🙌
Thank you for sharing!!! I am a proud Autism dad. My 12 yr old is in regular classroom and a member of the National Junior Honor Society. Locked on being a doctor when at 4 I was wondering how I was going to get him here. Lots of patience and therapies, fights with the school system and even had to hire a lawyer. But all incredibly worth it and we all see the results of early intervention. That is why we are Puzzles. Good day to all!
loved this! i was alays the child that wanted to ask why a lot but most didnt give responses! and also i often give very detailed long voice messages or just verbal convo in general
An excellent talk detractingly embellished with a superfluous and arbitrary laugh track. This speaker gave a witty presentation that would stand well on its own without editorial artifice.
Well spoken. I do however wonder if my dear coworkers will see your Talk 'as it is', once shared by their quirky co-worker with a habit of being lost in translation. I often feel like people rejects the world as it is - while it appears clear as day to me. Which makes my input seem naive, our good solutions hard to reach and leaves everyone frustrated. Thankfully they do have good faith in me. That is the most important part to establish I feel like.
You are a stellar role model for the kind of communication you talk about! This talk was so informative and well put together. I hope you're really proud of the results!
OMG. I have been hoping and praying for the logic just like everything she speaks about ASD. I wish she could be close friends with my stepdaughter. I've got to get you two in communication with one another. She is a college graduate and a nurse. I'm constantly overwhelmed and confused.
Just as I thought, quite the intelligent mind. Autism is a rare gift often mistaken for a communicative and behavioral disorder. But, only a gifted person sees something more beautiful, because these disorders are cancelled out of their more clearer minds. Intelligence is nurtured, not branded or stigmatized. That's why I call Autism a rare gift.
Autism is neutral, like blue eyes versus brown eyes. Please don’t put autistic people either above or below you. We each have a variety of strengths and weaknesses, but autistic people’s strengths and weaknesses are not typical. This is disabling in most societies. Calling it a gift and not a disorder minimizes the serious mental and physical health issues that disproportionately affect the autistic population due to accessibility issues and lack of support. Do you know the rates of depression and anxiety in the autistic population? Our average life expectancy? I think it was 57, but that was a few years ago. I love being autistic and having a unique brain. I think I perceive more beauty than the average person. I also can’t always speak and the bright lights and many sounds in most workplaces give me migraines to the point that at this time, my husband is our sole provider. I got straight A’s in high school, finished a B.S. in Zoology, and worked for 12 years before burnout, POTS, and my autism diagnosis. I appreciate your sentiment, but I think it is also important not to minimize or dismiss the challenges and risks that living in this world as autistic present.
I think it's a 2-way street. People with ASD can learn from typicals to become more intune with their emotions, and typicals can learn from people with ASD to not let their emotions rule them.
Audio sounds really weird and is also delayed? Idk if this was an attempt to improve audio quality, if so put some reverb on it and also don't do the laugh tracks
Great content and very informative... Just constantly seemed like they used a Big Bang theory like laugh track...in my opinion that detracked from the Talk's impact. Humor has its place, but I don't watch TED to laugh...I watch TED to learn...if it's funny laughter would come spontaneously...this seemed forced and out of place Nevertheless, I'd watch it again for the message
Hello there! I just came across your fantastic video and it got me thinking about how, much like hiking, the journey of leadership and personal development is a challenging but incredibly rewarding path. 🌄 That's why I created 'Hiking Leadership,' my RUclips channel. It's all about embracing the similarities between hiking and personal growth. Just as every step taken on a trail brings us closer to the summit, every lesson learned in leadership and development gets us closer to our goals. If you're passionate about self-improvement and love the metaphor of hiking, 'Hiking Leadership' is the place for you. Let's embark on this transformative journey together! 🔥 Feel free to drop by and join the conversation. I'm always excited to connect with fellow travelers on this long and fulfilling expedition. Thanks for your inspiring content, and I look forward to having you as a part of the 'Hiking Leadership' community!L

That made me cry out of nowhere. You're a really special person. Thank you for the gift of your voice and your courage to use it.
Yes, me too, as I really felt she spoke out for me, someone who can't represent their own voice sometimes.
Thank you for representing and advocating for us.

I am really starting to look at ASD people from an inspiring perspective.
As said, the ability to feed the world is very significant folk owned by autistic persons.

Autism/neurodivergent are more gifted . Doctors scientists see this .
Dam Sheldon is a good example we can all talk like robots sometimes .
What an informative talk! Truly inspirational and groundbreaking.
Brilliant. You did a fantastic job. Thank you. And thank you TEDx for posting this.
Great talk as somone who struggles every day since middle school. Those laughs were absolutely dubbed in at the end, though.
A thorough and entertaining presentation, thank you!
Note to editor: please don't edit the laughs so they are cut off.
Thank you!, Kailey! That was an awesome presentation and 100% fact!
In the past month I have seen some weird Tedx-Talks but this one is amazingly good!
Thanks 🙏 for sharing I really learned a lot today
Fabulous Kailey, you nailed it!
I think it's a 2-way street. People with ASD can learn from typicals to become more intune with their emotions, and typicals can learn from people with ASD to not let their emotions rule them.
"Just be normal!"
Wooo Kailey!
If my autistic daughter wasnt deaf, she would say so! Thank you.
unfortunately the sound is just under my laptop to be clear, but from what I hear - it sounds good ........ 😀
I loved this 👏
1:42 the last few sentences describe me. 😂
Thank you 🫶🏻☮️
This was so fun and interesting I loved it thank u ❤
autistic people can let you know something about yourself
Awesome!
Beautiful
Amazing!!
Love it 😎👍🏽
Awesome
Thank you so much for this message! I hope it becomes more widely and popularly understood!
Audio sounds really weird and is also delayed? Idk if this was an attempt to improve audio quality, if so put some reverb on it and also don't do the laugh tracks
Cue fake laughter
People with autism."... ❤
"autistic people" is preferred
Fantastic
You have no idea how many times I have told an NT that they have a PHD in 'misuse of language ' 🤭
this sitcom laugh applause audio edit is really bad. I see no reason to do that in such videos
Sheldon Cooper wasn't written to be autistic. The production team has said this a thousand times.
But he HAS AUTISTIC TRAITS EITHER WAY
Hear Here! ;-)
😍😍😍😍😍💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Goood but why the canned laughter / clapping?! Sounds so fake 😂
Video was good enough without the canned laughter artificially superimposed into it...
Great content and very informative...
Just constantly seemed like they used a Big Bang theory like laugh track...in my opinion that detracked from the Talk's impact.
Humor has its place, but I don't watch TED to laugh...I watch TED to learn...if it's funny laughter would come spontaneously...this seemed forced and out of place
Nevertheless, I'd watch it again for the message
