Orion Kelly - That Autistic Guy - Hi! I'm Orion Kelly - That Autistic Guy, and welcome to my official YouTube channel. I'm an Autistic author, YouTuber, podcaster, actor, keynote speaker and Autistic advocate based in Australia. I’m all about helping increase your level of understanding, acceptance and appreciation of Autistic people. For more visit www.orionkelly.com.au


foster on the spectrum - He/They/She | Autistic ADHDer. Lover of frogs, books, neurodiversity, psychology, etc. Hater of capitalism.


Living Well with Schizophrenia - Hi, my name is Lauren and I live with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. This is a channel dedicated to increasing knowledge around schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and mental illness. These videos are intended to be a resource for people with the diagnosis, their loved ones, and for people who just want to learn more about the illness.


How to ADHD - Have ADHD? Know someone with ADHD? Want to learn more? You're in the right place!
Most weeks I post a new video with tips, tricks and insights into the ADHD brain.
This channel is my ADHD toolbox -- a place to keep all the strategies I've learned about having and living with ADHD. It's also grown into an amazing community of brains (and hearts!) who support and help each other. Anyone looking to learn more about ADHD is welcome here!


Yo Samdy Sam - Exploring the topics of autism and neurodiversity.
As a recently diagnosed autistic adult, I am passionate about not just raising awareness of autism but promoting acceptance for the autistic community.
I want to explore the autistic experience from every weird corner of my brain and help others discover themselves, be proud of themselves and change the world, one silly video at a time.


Autism From The Inside - If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.
Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.
Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.
Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.


Tyla Grant - Hello, I’m Tyla. I'm autistic. In this corner of the internet, we try and make sense of adulthood. I post videos exploring topics related to autism, adulthood and the intersectionality of being black and in the neurominority. My videos are for Autistic Adults who want to live without burnout and those who help support them.


ADHD is the new BLACK - "No Stigma No Shame"
I'm Stacey Machelle, creator of ADHD is the new Black. Coincidentally, I am ADHD and-I'm Black. I'm COMPELLED to help my fellow Black and Brown sisters kick the stigma & shame of ADHD in the nutz. Yes. Nutz. Through silly humor and serious research, you'll learn how ADHD hijacks your decision-making, your emotions, and even how you communicate. You'll also find actionable resources to help you manage typical ADHD challenges, like time-management & finishing stuff.
I lived too many years suffering needlessly in silence from untreated ADHD. I was a mystery to myself, full of unanswerable "whys." Why do I start new projects move on before they're complete? Why am I always rushing? Why do I lose my keys/wallet/phone often? Why do I wait til the last minute to do EVERYTHING? Once I got a handle on my ADHD, I didn't want another woman to suffer as I did. Just because most black women don't talk about it doesn't mean it's not happening to them too. You are not alone.


Mom on the Spectrum - I'm Tay, a mom of 2 who was diagnosed as autistic at 31. My diagnosis brought up questions, frustration, doubt, but most importantly, a new level of self compassion and understanding.
I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergent people and their loved ones to live freely and creatively. I'm not a doctor so please speak with your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel.


COLORMIND. - a place where I talk about things I've thought about, so maybe you can think about them too. media & music & mental health


DissociaDID - DissociaDID is a project dedicated to challenging the stigma surrounding Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and trauma-based mental illness. Together, I (Kya) and my System (Alters) debunk the negative connotations surrounding DID, promote understanding and awareness and explain our experience of this greatly misunderstood disorder. We create content primarily about our personal experience and advice on PTSD, C-PTSD, Trauma, Abuse, Dissociative Disorders and general mental health, as well as running charity fundraisers. Our Debunking DID series contains links to medical journals, published studies, books, and helpful references.


Special Books by Special Kids - Interviews that are intended to create a more inclusive world.
SBSK started when I was a teacher for students with disabilities. Originally intended to be a book written by my students, SBSK soon grew to be video interviews of disabled people of all ages and diagnoses. Since our beginning in 2015, I have interviewed hundreds of people across the world while providing over $1,300,000 to those featured on this channel through a combination of grants and fundraising.
Starting in 2016, SBSK is now a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to normalize the diversity of the human condition under the pillars of honesty, respect, mindfulness, positivity and collaboration. This multi-media movement supports the acceptance and inclusion of all members of the neurodiverse/disability community regardless of diagnosis, age, race, religion, income, sexual orientation, gender or gender expression.


Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard - I’m Gem, and after my spinal cord injury at the age of 9, https://youtu.be/JDX5md1qbd4 my life has taken me on many twists and turns, and finally led me to combine my passions of media and disability advocacy, and poof! Wheelsnoheels was born.


Roll with Cole & Charisma - Since the start of our relationship we've received a lot of questions about how we make things work as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. There's certainly differences, and despite them we have a great time, all the time! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, our relationship, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world with some of the behind-the-scenes stuff people typically don't see, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about positivity, inclusion, and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!


From Erin's Library - Welcome to my channel! I'm Erin Hawley, a disabled woman (Muscular Dystrophy and anxiety) and latina living in New Jersey. I'm a bibliophile with a passion for video and tabletop gaming, Star Trek, and Mariah Carey. Check out the vlog playlist to learn more about me and to follow along on my journey toward bookish bliss.


I'm Autistic, Now What? - I’m a 27 year old late-diagnosed autistic (& ADHD) woman from the UK. Without YouTube, I never would’ve discovered that I am autistic. So now I’m returning the favour! I want to share videos that will help others discover their own neurodivergence and also videos about what to do post this new self-discovery. Post-diagnosis support for autistic adults is scarce. You’re autistic, which is great information to have, but…now what? Is there medication you could take? Is your career right for someone like you? Should you go self-employed? How do you tell your parents? Your employer? And what do you do if they don’t take you seriously?
Basically...how can you use this knowledge to create a life that really emphasises your strengths and minimises your struggles?
I’m still figuring it out! Let’s learn together (using scientific evidence wherever we can) ♥️

Stephanie Bethany - My name is Stephannie and my goal with this channel is to provide research-based and balanced information regarding autism-related topics in an understandable format. I aim to translate research into something more easily comprehendible for the viewer while also providing my own take, insight, thoughts, and examples. I also do deep-dive projects where I research and conduct interviews to facilitate insight and conversation. While my main goal of the channel is to educate, I also share my perspective as a late-diagnosed autistic adult and sometimes will simply provide my opinion about certain matters related to the autism community.


Autism Chrysalis - Life coaching for an autism-positive life.
I help later identified autistics break free of a lifetime of "shoulds" and NT-expectations to make a life that truly works. For you.

The Blind Life - The Blind Life is a representation of what is going on in my life and what I enjoy, all from the visually impaired perspective. I'm a big fan of mobile technology and Low vision accessibility, but I also can easily laugh at myself. I enjoy making videos to share tips and tricks of navigating life with low vision. If you have any suggestions for future videos, just ask! #blind #lowvision #theblindlife
