I love every one of his speeches. The fact that he can move me to tears and still make me laugh amazes me. My brother has autism and I wouldn't cure him for the world. When he was 3 I was 18 and didn't understand what his autism would mean for my family's future. His autism has changed us for the better. In a way, his identity has become part of my own. I fight tooth and nail to make sure people don't take advantage of him. He comes to me for help, when our mum's words of comfort aren't enough....even though all I can do is say the same encouraging things but in a different way. If he magically wasn't autistic anymore, he would have an easier life....but he wouldn't be my brother.
+blackurtis Listen to some of these comments people. " I love listening to this guy. His voice is like poetry." Does any body care that he purposely misquoted the Time magazine article from 1966? He drastically change it, for the life of me I will never know why he did that or how it supports his point. Back to you black Curtis-who cares about the content of his words , I just like the sound of his voice. I wish he was a religious leader so I could follow him somewhere. This country is so fucked
Mitch Mabee Okay first of all, chill. No one said anything about the content of his message not mattering or anything. He has a relaxing tone to his speech, that's all we're pointing out. He is very intelligent and gets his point across quite clearly in a caring yet defining and informative way. This video explained my own struggles to me with the words I could never find. Sorry for thinking that he's nice to listen to.
When he said "we would cease to be, and strangers would move in behind our faces" I groaned out loud and then burst into tears. That's the thing. That's the wound.
The main message as I understand Andrew Solomon is that love is stronger than fear of being different, stronger than hardships, stronger than any type of pressure.
@@Pikachu-qr4yb well, I don't know from what source I got it, but you will find so many sources if you just put in on Google the words "pink colour history" and maybe also "hitler". However it is not the only reason why pink became a feminine colour and blue a manly one.
Sometimes, I have a strong feeling that I'm living in a great time. 30 years ago, the internet in China has not been well developed. People in China, like my parents, they can only know this world from limited TV shows. And now, I can watch these great talks whenever I want. I think it's something amazing. I know people might think I'm strange if I say I feel I'm lucky that I can watch videos on internet. Anyway, this is a nice talk. I like all his talks on TED. TED talks influenced me a lot. I want to find a job in TED. How can I do that? Anyone have any suggestion?
+Danni Sun I am almost 50 and live in the USA and from my perspective it was not well developed here either. I had a home computer in the very early 90's before any one I knew but it was mostly work for me dial up was WAY TOO SLOW and we did not have search engines like we do know so very tedious too find information. I feel in awe constantly that I have all of this available 24/7 almost instantaneously! So I do not think you strange AT ALL!
I very much agree with you, the internet can be a source of bad things but also of so much knowledge and wisdom. You are reading this on the other side of the world. That's pretty special.
i think of this everyday. I have an inextinguishable hunger for information of the world, history, different cultures, ideas and stories of human beings. I love to watch documentaries and explore Wikipedia just to learn about random stuff and I think I would be miserable if Internet didn't exist. Perhaps would read a lot of books instead, but I was never a good reader, so I'm very thankful and aware of how lucky I am to live in this era where information is so easily accessible in the form of videos.
This speech is so genuine and so realistic. Love is always there but acceptance needs to develop overtime. We cannot expect people to immediately shows intimacy to unfamiliar things, but it is possible to start to tolerance and willing and then acceptance. Diversity is unity. Truly.
What an amazing talk, I just sat there in wonder at the end of this speech wondering and amazed at the number of people this person had touched, number of lives he had changed. He sure is a person who is at peace with himself and every part of his being. Hope we have more people like him talk about different experiences and feelings, which would encourage differences and short comings rather than try to cover or hide them in this world we call home.
I watch a lot of Ted talks. I don't usually watch the same one twice. After coming back to watch this one over and over, I've decided it's the very best Ted talk I've ever heard. It inspires me and fills my heart with hope. I use it almost like a meditation or an antidepressant when life starts feeling heavy.
I love this Andrew Solomon speech. I have a son on earth and a son in heaven, and I agree that the love we feel for our children is like no other love we will ever feel.
"I don't accept subtractive models of love, only additive ones..." Mr. Solomon, you create such beautiful statements....just lovely! Love your talks! Best wishes to your wonderfully unique family, may they be an example to the rest of us. Your smile speaks volumes!!!
Wow, that completely floored me. Especially when he follows it up with accepting people as they're born instead of wishing them to be "fixed" or "cured".
One of the best TED Talks I've seen. If everyone learned to love and care for others like Andrew talks about in this video, imagine how amazing of place our world could be.
Everything I want to say has been expressed by you beautifull folks in the comments, but I beg you to know just how much love you deserve. Heroism isn't strength; it's not gritting your teeth and suffering more. Real heroism is that impulse, that thing at the bottom of your stomach that you just can't ignore, that urge to stop their suffering. In hopes that it's okay to quote my other favorite talk about leaving the white supremacy movement: "I changed their minds by showing compassion to those who LEAST deserve it, EXACTLY when they least deserved it." Needless to say, I love you all so dearly, and I hope that y'all find some semblance of peace in your journeys. I think I speak for everyone when I say: THANK YOU Andrew Solomon. Thank you for teaching us the ttrue meaning of strength. I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but you really did save me.
After losing my amazing brother in 2012, the quote "I pray here to ask for forgiveness for being twice robbed. Once of the child I wanted. And once of the son I loved." touched my heart. Thank you for your incredible words.
Amazingly brilliant & insightful. I wish there were more of this man everywhere on the planet. I am so moved & I am abundantly grateful that some lucky little humans somewhere call him daddy.
If ever you had to choose a must watch, must listen and must appreciate TED talk...this is it. I found myself giving him and his speech a standing ovation, in front of my TV!
Mr. Solomon - your talk was beautiful, balanced and illuminating. I'm sad, though not surprised, to see so many hateful remarks posted. I'm so glad you're telling your story, as well as the stories of so many brave parents. May you have an abundance of love and blessing in your life, sir. And best wishes to you!
When i was born, i had dyslexia and OCD. It made me different and it made school a lot harder for me than other kids. So many times i cursed my disorders, but my mom would never let me. She always said that it just made me smarter in a different way, and that i was special. I am so thankful for her, because now I am truly proud of who I am. And I feel bad for people who don't see the world the way it do.

thank you andrew, the world is so not open, even if we open up just 1 degree its worth it. thanks for reminding the rest of us which really is the less fortunate that the world does not evolve around us, thanks again.
Mr. Andrew Solomon your creation of your lovely family is a priceless masterpiece of art. A masterpiece of love. And with your masterpiece you have given people of the mind an inspiring vision. I have 3 lovely sons - my masterpiece of love.
As a person who fits into a "different" kind of category, this spoke so deeply to me. I'm going to share it... and hope that others can see how many layers of awesome this has.
Amazing !!! What an amazing spin on what we view as negative parts of life. This man has managed to prove that everything in life is about perspective. Life is about spreading positive energy and letting go of the anger and hate !! Accepting what we can not change, and tuning it into an opportunity for growth. Thank you sir !!!
Thankyou Andrew. I watched this first thing upon waking this morning and it made me full of love and admiration and bounce to get up and go forth and love and respect all parents and all people. Thankyou for your passion !
This is my second talk of his that I have just listened to, and it is first so refreshing in this time of exclusion, personal attacks, lack of curiosity, and a degradation of common sense and plain decency to hear such eloquent, clear, thoughtful awareness being spoken. And second, a gay inspiration and healer. thank u!
This is the third video in a row I've watched of this guy and I've LOVED every second of it! Thank you Andrew for speaking at these events and thank you to everyone that played a part in making these speeches available to be seen by anyone willing to watch them!
This really... Well words cant really describe it, but I cant wait for fatherhood to feel that unconditional love for something of my own flesh and blood regardless of what comes of the child and the women I choose to create that miracle with. Thank you Tedtalks and Mr. Solomon for such an amazing segment.
oh thank you Andrew.....love is endless....love is being different....love is looking to be more nornal.....love is everything.....Love is Andrew Solomon...jeff
My Uncle was stationed in Japan in the airforce. He fell in love got married to a beautiful Japanese Woman and brought her here in 1969. They had a son, he was bullied in school for having slanted eyes... he was bullied everywhere we went. He is 2 years younger than me. I spent my childhood and young adult years protecting him and standing up for him until he could stand for himself. Judging people is horrible no matter what the situation. Gay, Black, White, Spanish, Japanese etc. and those with disabilities, I have a bit of all kinds of people in my family...We are not the same, but we aren't that different either.. All people are Human and deserve the respect we would give ourselves. Thank you Andrew for doing this video. It is wonderful. Love Anyway 💜 I do !!!
What i find interesting about this speech is that Mr. Solomon didn't wait for life to bring him experience. He himself, jumped into the pool of experience and wanted to understand. This makes his words so much meaningful to the audiance.
I haven't had a child with autism but I am someone with autism and try to make the most of it and that's why my TED Talk is titled, "An Autistic Genius Discusses How Differences Make Us Special." I wish your family the best of EVERYTHING and that includes everyone embracing their differences. Stay strong and compassionate.
One of the most meaningful talks in a while imo. It's inspiring how in depth he pulled himself into his project to have kids of his own. A true scientist and a true social worker, I must say. :)
This is the 3rd talk I've heard from him. He's so thoughtful and thought provoking. You're my favorite speaker/ lecturer and I suspect writer. I just have to read one of your books. Thank you for what you are doing. I appreciate you.
I love the cute smile he gets when he finishes his talks
Because he knows he is about to make so many people sitting somewhere with tear filled eyes, about to smile..
Acabei de ver isso kk
Teary eyed what a moving talk
I love every one of his speeches. The fact that he can move me to tears and still make me laugh amazes me. My brother has autism and I wouldn't cure him for the world. When he was 3 I was 18 and didn't understand what his autism would mean for my family's future. His autism has changed us for the better. In a way, his identity has become part of my own.

He is extrodinary.
That's so selfish!
@@shibaak I'm sorry, what is?
his speeches are perfection

"I don't accept subtractive models of love". Great quote, great talk.
I love listening to this guy.... It's like poetry :)

Mitch Mabee Okay first of all, chill. No one said anything about the content of his message not mattering or anything. He has a relaxing tone to his speech, that's all we're pointing out. He is very intelligent and gets his point across quite clearly in a caring yet defining and informative way. This video explained my own struggles to me with the words I could never find. Sorry for thinking that he's nice to listen to.
It is always important to be accurate with any citations.
Andrew Solomon is heroic.
No he's a email scammer
Master Coyote what the heck do you mean?
Oh my god what a man.
his speech about depression was so touching
When he said "we would cease to be, and strangers would move in behind our faces" I groaned out loud and then burst into tears. That's the thing. That's the wound.
The main message as I understand Andrew Solomon is that love is stronger than fear of being different, stronger than hardships, stronger than any type of pressure.
He sure found his life calling.
''The fact that my favourite colour is now blue, and I'm still gay is evidence of both my mother's influence and limits...'' hahaha
Khushboo Gupta I like that Part of that speech of the.
Haha she might change your favourite colour but she cant make you straight
Adolf Hitler made Pink a colour for Gay people. Before of that it was a colour of strenght, man, etc. (At least that's what I know).

I can sit and listen to him talk for hours ...
He is wonderful. His speeches move me to tears.
Dana Bodin his talk on adversity shaping our identities legitimately changed my entire outlook

Andrew Solomon is therapeutic in so many levels
Solomon is such an enlightened person. I could easily listen to him talking about anything for hours
this man is a brilliant talker
This speech is so genuine and so realistic. Love is always there but acceptance needs to develop overtime. We cannot expect people to immediately shows intimacy to unfamiliar things, but it is possible to start to tolerance and willing and then acceptance. Diversity is unity. Truly.
Jesus, Andrew Solomon's lectures choke me up. So profound.
Darren - Absolutely. The "cramp" story was a short teaching moment about what that would be like. Profound lesson.
Very eye opening talk on love,acceptance,parenting,disability, and genuine care. I will be the best father to my unborn child(ren), no matter what

My first TED Talk. Absolutely Amazing!!
So how many other TED talks have you listened to since this one?
A man of immense affective capacity for all of mankind. A clear eyed, clear hearted beacon of love and acceptance. Thank you. Thank you so much
"I don't accept subtractive models of love, only additive ones..." Mr. Solomon, you create such beautiful statements....just lovely! Love your talks! Best wishes to your wonderfully unique family, may they be an example to the rest of us. Your smile speaks volumes!!!
The man can do a TED Talk.
Wow, that completely floored me. Especially when he follows it up with accepting people as they're born instead of wishing them to be "fixed" or "cured".
He changed my life. Thank you Andrew. I started to live again thanks to one of your profound speeches, it came straight to my heart, it reached me.
This man gives truely beautiful speeches. Amazing!
He has a way of filling me with joy, and then making me bawl my eyes out after one simple sentence. I love him.
"I want to ask him to forgive me for being his mother and not knowing what was going on in his head." Cried at this point.
I truly enjoy his way of explaining and reasoning. His talks are some of my favorites because they are insightful on so many levels. He's amazing.
I love his posture and overall body language.
One of the best TED Talks I've seen. If everyone learned to love and care for others like Andrew talks about in this video, imagine how amazing of place our world could be.
