I'm Orion Kelly - That Autistic Guy, and I’m all about providing validation and support for Autistic people and their loved ones. For more visit www.orionkelly.com.au
My ex used to argue with me while we were in bed to the point that it was so overwhelming I was passing out mid argument and then he shouted at me for not saying anything. I learnt to repress my autism so much in this regard that any sign of conflict and I will immediately start crying unable to say anything. None of it was never my fault and he tried to pile it all on my shoulders. I'm so glad I'm not with him anymore
I hid my rage for so long. It turned to self punishment and sadness when others cancelled plans, turned up late, broke agreements with me. When it comes to my kids though that sensory overload anger comes out- i feel it in my brain!
I live smack-dab in the middle of America (MN), and am an SSDI, Medicare and Medicaid recipient for my diagnoses of Autism, ADHD, Developmental Coordination Disorder and Clinical Depression. The only reason they say these kinds of things is because neurotypical people love to have a so-called "informed" opinion on something, without having a least one of the following: • Direct firsthand experience in the subject matter in which they are conversing about • Having someone close in their life whom is either directly affiliated with the topic matter whom they themselves are extremely familiar with • Having spent one second of their precious time to conduct reputable research on the matter so that they actually know what it is they're talking about Summarily, if you're a neurotypical person and at least one of the above aforementioned three conditions doesn't apply to you, then shut up and you might actually learn something one day. Hallelujah.
Sigh... I still have problems at my college with math, I'm constantly depressed, I still miss Rush the band playing in Poland (they never did), I'm obsessed with geopolitics due to the threats of war and I also want to be a full-time rock musician.... maybe I'm famously autistic?!
I am a 27 year-old cis AuDHD man who, after a long and deep self-examination and four sex therapist visits, officially just came out as pansexual. It feels weird to think that in a relatively short period of time, I (methaphorically) went from having attraction to women, to attraction to women and men (both cis and trans), to attraction to people regardless of gender or orientation. Looking back at my younger self I realised I have had all these attractions all along, just not conciously.
I have 8 sign in me but i never foget anything neverrrr .. plus i am a very very fast learner i have never seen anyone learning anything so fast, around me uptill now ..
I am so disappointed they did this to you. I wish I could say I was surprised. What a bloody stupid world, where your honesty, integrity, compassion and consideration are actively used against you 🤨 I think NTs “positive” approach is to try to sugar coat everything. Sure a pinch of sugar might sweeten stuff up a smidge, but surely allow us the right to feel a little salty 😅
Just to expand your thoughts with my experiences. Yes autism will keep ruining your life until you learn your traits, how to regulate them, and proper understanding from people around then the strengths and the good stuff will come AFTER regular overloads/meltdowns are under control. Edit: You (employers/family members) should not expect the autistic person to fully utilize their strengths until dysregulation issues are addressed and supported.
I grow increasingly uncomfortable until i realize that i don't like whatever it is and can't engage at all. Sometimes there's something i like or curious about, but the pros are rapidly being buried by the cons. There's not much i will participate with, and some things are instant no way, others are a creeping up to nah. I don't recall just faking it to fit in ever, no masks, people hate me.
Getting work that's to heavy for people with a disability , its heavy work with loads if steal , it is for a roof construction , for ventilation in a pig barn ore chicken barn , that sort of thing , much to heavy wirk for people like us but who cares ?! But anyway , i wish you a weekend that doesn't make feel you bad ore juseless because YOUR NOT , i learn more and more from you als a autistic single mom with a adult son who's autistic too . ❤❤❤
Yeah, but how is it that I can I trigger demand avoidance in myself for something I actually want to do‽‽‽‽ Like taking a week off work for a pet project and now it’s Thursday, and I can’t get started 🤦
I tend to hand make most gifts for friends, relatives and partners. A coloring page, a bracelet with their favorite colors, a personalized note. I would do it for Christmas, their birthday or sometimes just randomly. I never expect anything in return. I just like making things and I have an app on my phone to keep track of birthdays. :)
My child’s mom (former partner) told she was diagnosed with autistic traits ”autistic threads” as she call it. She extremly lovebombed me and put me on a high pedistal and she was totally ”frenzy” avout me and should do everyting I did to the extreme I can promise. She acted as if she was a post-it note on on me. But the devaluation of me was so subtile in my presense so I harsly recognized it. But I was devaluated behind my back when I not was present. The breakup was rather unnatural - she ghosted me. And all lies she did. From the beginning to the end and after. And there is very difficult and hard to coparenting with her because she tries to alienate the child from me with false accusations and she manipulating social service etc etc. And it’s now more than 3 years she ghosted me and she went ”no contact” since then. Only communication is via proxy as lawyers och social service.
Hi! I just finished an algorithm that will predict autistic meltdowns! It’s automatically protected but I copyrighted it anyway. To the point….I’ve separated the different components of the algorithm into classes, making it easier to incorporate domain knowledge, handle edge cases, and optimize for scalability: DataPreprocessor This class handles data preprocessing and cleaning. I can extend or modify this class to incorporate domain-specific preprocessing techniques or handle edge cases related to data quality. FeatureExtractor This class is responsible for feature engineering and extraction. I can extend or modify this class to incorporate domain knowledge and extract relevant features for predicting autistic meltdowns. ModelTrainer This class handles data splitting, model training, and evaluation. I can modify this class to experiment with different machine learning algorithms, optimize hyperparameters, or incorporate domain-specific techniques for model training and evaluation. MeltdownPredictor This class is responsible for making predictions using the trained model and deploying the model on the smartphone. I can extend or modify this class to handle edge cases related to prediction or optimize the deployment process for scalability. By separating concerns into different classes, I can easily modify or extend specific components without affecting the rest of the codebase. Additionally, this modular approach makes it easier to incorporate domain knowledge, handle edge cases, and optimize for scalability as I continue to develop and refine the algorithm. This is still a simplified example, and in the real-world I would need to incorporate additional functionality, error handling, and performance optimizations based on specific requirements and the constraints of the target platform (smartphones).
I can’t believe I’m the first comment but I just wanted to say I love you and your mannerisms -and thank you for everything you’re doing for all of us. Wonderful autistic individuals out there.
And that's just the thing about autists: We ARE individuals. We aren't playing along by trying to be everybody else. That's why we're what we hominid legumes -- er, human beans -- are designed to be. It's also why we're hated by all the people who wish they, too, dared to be themselves. They envy us our courage and strength of character, and they bully us because the defining motive of bullies is FEAR.
I think the hardest thing for me through the years,is the shame I feel after saying the wrong things, talking too much, taking over conversations for hours, telling people everything on my mind at length, losing my temper and snapping on people out of frustration... no wonder I spend most of my time hidden away in my room.
