The Perspective Your Autism Gave Me | {THE AND} Chad & Orin

Have more meaningful conversations with {THE AND} relationship card game: www.theskindeep.com/shop
Orin (he/him), a young boy with Autism, and his father Chad (he/him) talk about what they need to do to better connect -- less work, less phone time and more family time. As the self-proclaimed #1 and #2 funniest members of their family, the two have a unique and humorous conversation about making more time for each other, Chad's fears for Orin, and partake in impressions of each other. At one point, Orin (who is very literal) even surprises his father with one of his answers to a question.
We'd like to thank Chad and Orin for participating openly & vulnerably in our project. We appreciate what they've shared with us and hope you do as well.

I love how Chad asked permission to impersonate Orin, really paying attention to his emotions and making sure he wasn’t offended.

When the father said how he worried about his son being mistreated, the tears really started to flow. Just imagining people being cruel to this little boy breaks my heart. He’s precious, gentle, intelligent, and kind. It hurts to see how harsh kids can be and I can only imagine how scary it is to be a parent who worries about their child and how others treat them.

@@numbernine3436 very true. children are so influenced by adults... especially through media. It’s become such a norm to treat others cruelly without seeing the faults in one’s own actions. It’s hard to educate children when they have just as many or more bad examples to follow than they have good ones.

THE TEARS. They won't stop. What a precious boy and a wonderful dad.
The way he looks into his son's eyes...and also his wife's...deeply, gently, calmly, solidly.
Orin is unbelievably precious! He’s so smart, sweet, warm and wise. He’s unique for sure! All credit to his parents for just allowing him to be himself. “More time together, because you’re always working...Less time on our phones” really touched me. Childhood goes by so very quickly and you only get one. I hope that they can find a way. Finally, “Covid going away!” Amen buddy!

I have a friend whose 6.2ft husband got fed up with his son being bullied and went to the school and told the kid if he ever bullied his son again he would bit him up. The father was never allowed in the school again, I think he has to maintain 100 ft away from the school. He got in trouble but his son was never bullied again.

So many of us grew up undiagnosed and misunderstood. Seeing this boy and his father renews my hope.
I think Chad’s question about having Mom and home being enough is a thought many working dads assume to be true. I’m glad he asked that because the answer was probably something he didn’t realize. Fathers, children need YOU. Not your money, not your long work hours. They need YOU. Moms and dads are both needed in raising a child. Please don’t assume having your wife or the mother of your child raise the kids is somehow sufficient. Such an eye-opening moment in this video. Orin is precious.

Working with The Skin Deep definitely opened our eyes to our kids needs in a way that we didn’t realize we needed. Phones are put down a lot more these days. We are thrilled Orin could be so brave and honest with us. This exercise helped our family, we can’t recommend it enough!
Neurodivergent people bring so much beauty and new perspectives to the world. As a therapist, I hear all of the time that kids truly want to spend more time with their parents, so I'm thankful that Orin told his dad that it's really important to him.
Im crying! My son looks around the same age also with autism. I feel the fathers pain when it comes to other children. Worrying everyday is hard.

Thinking of people treating him badly breaks my heart. 🥺🥺
I love the conversations with children. So often they surprise us with maturity we didn't expect from them. Orin is such a fantastic boy, I'd love my little brother to find a friend as kind as him. And Chad is a great dad :)
He is the most precious little boy ever, what a treasure it must be to have him as a son! This was so lovely, I couldn’t help but cry a little

I wish I had had a parent who loved me this much and talked to me with so much emotion and honesty. What a blessing for both father and son.
Omg...the second question, Orin got so somber...I teared up....I knew he was gonna ask for more time🥺 ...the love he has for his pops words spoken over him 🥰 #sweetchild
My son has autism and he's the best person I know and very smart.
His honesty is so pure and can't be matched, great video!
This was beautiful. I hope you guys continue to highlight relationships with kids who have disabilities. My little brother is 5 years old with autism and it’s comforting watching things like this. Knowing we are not alone 🤍
"i want everyone to see you how i see you"
He seems like an amazing dad, amazing. They are all so lucky to have him.
When he SAID there is nothing really wrong with our family.... 😭😭😭.. I cried thinking about my own and my big brothers childhood trauma 😭😭... Bless this dad for being such a good man
It is so cool to see so many different perspectives throughout Skin Deep. My nephew is 7 and was just diagnosed autistic. He has always been special to me, we both get each other, but I fear when he goes to school, kids won’t see what I see. I totally understand Chad’s fears, but I am incredibly impressed with Orin’s explanations and how patient he seems. He has an incredible future ahead of him.
Omw what a precious little boy, his eyes and innocence yet so articulate with his words
I like the kid’s honesty. Cool kid. This Made me cry
I'm so in love with this family! After watching the parents' conversation is easy to see why he said "love" was what made them a family. Maybe not literal, but very obvious ❤ and the kid - I want him to be friends with mine

The hardest thing about being a parent is definitely knowing you can't always protect them and the world can be cruel. I tell myself if we can create a safe space for our sweet kid and show them love and how to love themselves, hopefully it will be like a shield for their spirit that no amount of cruelty can destroy. Sure, things will hurt, times will get tough, we may not always be there, but I hope our love and his love for himself are eternal. I hope, I hope, I hope. I loved this one ❤🥲

What a great kid! As someone with a congenital brain disorder with symptoms that overlap with autism, and many good friends with autism, I hope he knows he’s not alone, and just how amazing he is! You can tell he has a big, strong heart, and is creative and intelligent. All of the people on the spectrum I know love and respect animals and other people, are very successful because of their creativity and intelligence, and they make a huge difference in the world every day, just being themselves. It makes me proud to share some of their attributes- even the oversensitivity to sensations and sound (one of the ones that can be the hardest for me to cope with). If Orin has this same challenge, when Covid improves, maybe some places in the community might be up for adjusting their light and sounds and occupancy so Orin can spend more time out doing things with the family. Here, we just got special shopping nights for people with sound, light, and crowd sensitivity. I think these things should be taken into consideration more when designing spaces for accessibility. Often what benefits people with autism as far as accessible design, benefits us all.

And you know, as a kid who was bullied for my differences, the best thing you can do as a family member is be and provide that safe space for that kid to come home to. I never felt that hurt by other kids because I knew I had a whole group of people who were my best friends who never judged me and always truly cared about me at home. The older I got the more I realized the kids bullying me didn’t have what I had, and I felt sorry for them. It’s easier to stand up for yourself and not get as emotionally hurt when you know who you are and what you have are important and you believe in them. It’s also good as adults for us to teach all children that bullying and harassment is not acceptable and to speak up and intervene when we witness kids getting bullied.
