I don’t think that man is autistic, I think he’s a fraud. This is why. Turn down the volume on his YouTube video and watch his body language, there’s a patter to it.
(1)Moving his hands, sweeping his palm over his face when he says ‘focus’ then pointing his finger straight away when he says ‘point’, then on to the next gesture deftly and seamlessly. That is so non-autistic.
(2) Tilting his head, showing off his shiny white teeth, pushing his head forward and opening his eyes wide to express surprise then squinting back to express irony, then onto the next gesture, etc, you get the point and I haven’t even mentioned (3) his nuanced tone of voice and choice of words. I don’t recognize anything at all autistic about this.
Mr Kelly is far more expressive, persuasive and superficially charming than most neurotypical people let alone anyone autistic but it’s (4) the unblinking way he stares at the screen which gives him away.
Unblinking staring like that is often symptomatic of narcissistic personality disorder and all that implies for his other behaviours, the glib charm, the persuasiveness, the skilful self-promotion which makes Mr Kelly someone you should want to avoid not befriend.
I totally get it that some people out there love him to bits but if that were someone I knew I would try to dissuade them from him. I’m perfectly happy to reply to this.
cant unblinking staring also be a schizophrenic spectrum thing too?and many other things on the anti-social personality spectrum too.
ok i watched a vid to see who he is and he seems very expressive has really good body language and has a hell of a lot of different tonal changes to his voice. so i see what you mean.also his video was unedited and him claiming its without masking and raw unedited so called his full autism so ...yeah... and it makes it worse that the video he was complaining about some sort of ndis disability insurance or payments or something probably the australian pip... but theres no way that even if he is autistic that he qualifies for pip as hes very functional and that is a guy who i identify as easily being able to fit in a job as i see less functional people in my work place so he has no excuse and no right to free life of disability payments especially if that was a display of his most autistic and he had such great body language and voice tone and he seemed like a used car salesman or any chatty man youd expect to be at a pub chatting it up so much.
