Fawning Causes Abusive, Toxic Relationships for Autistic People
youtu.be
Hi! I'm Orion Kelly and I'm Autistic. On this video I explore the topic of the 4th stress response, fawning. Plus, I share my personal lived experiences as a...

The trigger warning is because the topic can be emotionally heavy for autistics since it talks about the social abuse autistics endure and how we react to it by masking. The guy has an apparent justifiably angry tone throughout the video. Otherwise, I think it is fine and there are no sensory issues to worry about.

For those that downvoted, I would like to know why. Why did you think that it should not be seen by others?

    I’m intrigued about the downvotes. I don’t feel strongly one way or the other yet but it’s anyone able to explain the negative response?

      I would also like to know. It’s a problem I have and I’ve planned to try to watch this (I’m not one to just click on something making noise at me without preparation). Should I try and research this elsewhere (I prefer text anyway). Suggestions welcome.

      This kind of fits the recent uptick in negative and plain dismissive comments in this community. I feel like there could be a “tell us whats bothering you” chat either on a pinned post or something like that. Some people might be trolls but if this happens a lot it might need honest questions for feedback.

      Besides that I dont get it either. I dont watch mental health videos in the evening so I cant say if the video is bad but orion kelly is actually pretty popular. Youtube is kinda bad but also no reason to downvote.

    Looked up what “fawning” meant, never heard that word before

    praising someone too much and giving them a lot of attention that is not sincere in order to get a positive reaction

    Haven’t watched the video so I’m unsure of the context, whether it’s about a neurotypical as the recipient of fawning, or a neurotypical fawning another individual

    I saw part of this video and I can very easily imagine that it would allow narcissists to seek out people they can exploit. It’s also annoying to other people. Excessive “people pleasing” can come across as desperate or annoying.

    I couldn’t get through the video… it could really use some heavy editing. He easily spent the first half of the video just saying the same thing over and over without really saying much of anything.
