Content Creator Spotlight: Kaelynn Partlow


I'm so excited to talk today about one of my favorite autistic advocates and content creators.  Her name is, Kaelynn Partlow.  She probably looks familiar to you and the reason behind that is because she was on season 1 of Netflix's show Love on the Spectrum or she probably has popped up on your social media feed. 

Kaelynn Partlow is in her late-20s and lives in South Carolina.  She lives on her own with at least one roommate.  She works as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) at her local ABA clinic.  

Kaelynn posts video content at least once a day.  Her videos are informative to the public on what autism is and autism related content to inform and educate her viewers on autism.  

Kaelynn has addressed she also has an ADHD diagnosis.  

I remember when I first started watching Love on the Spectrum, I felt like I can relate to where she's at with her autism.  She was one of my inspirations to become an advocate for autism and to blog to educate others on autism.  (Also, let's not forget, she and I were born the same month!)

Last year, she came out with a book Life on the Bridge.  I haven't read it yet, but I hope to read it one day.

I appreciate and admire Kaelynn's determination to be vulnerable when posting content.  She is non-biased and I love that about her.  It's hard being a young adult female in this day and age with autism.  Her videos are so educational and I love how passionate she is about this topic.

Below I added a video that was released a year ago (2024) with Kaelynn discussing what her diagnosis means to her.

You can follow Kaelynn on Instagram and TikTok: @kaelynnvp, and don’t forget to check out her YouTube channel too!

What Can I Control?

  What is control?  The  psychology definition of the word control is a person's ability or perception of their ability to affect themselves, others, their conditions, their environment or some other circumstance. Control over oneself or others can extend to the regulation of emotions, thoughts, actions, impulses, memory, attention or experiences.   As an autistic individual, control can be a hard concept to manage.  Here's the thing, we have a realm of what we can and can't control.  Think of reacting to your emotions like reacting to the weather, but with a proper balance.  I don't like the snow, especially when it is dangerous.  I can't control how much or when it snows outside.  HOWEVER, I can control how I react to the snow.  I can be mad OR I can be prepared.  I can go out wearing shorts and a tank top and risk freezing my butt off OR I can wear my warmest set of clothes so I can regulate the warmth in my body that the w...

Being a Friend vs. Being Friendly: A Neurodivergent Struggle

Image
  Have you ever met someone and thought "oh, they're being nice to me! I should be their friend, and have it not work out?"  Honestly, same.  Being autistic and neurodiverse, it can be hard to identify if I should be friends with someone or friendly.  Here's a little secret I've learned in the 27 years of my life: it is OKAY to not be friends with EVERYBODY!! --sometimes, people aren't looking to make friends or they're not interested in being friends with you and  THAT'S OKAY !!   As much as we want to be friends with everyone, this isn't possible.  Seems rude, but sometimes if we push ourselves to be friends with people, it's not going to be in our favor.   What we can do, is be NICE  to others or just be friendly to them.  This doesn't mean we're best friends.  It just means we are respectful and kind to them. But Alyssa! How can I tell if someone is being my friend or not? Good question! I'm glad you asked!  Sometimes,...

💤 Why Neurodivergent Brains Struggle With Sleep (And What Might Help)💤

Image
  It's time for bed!  You get in your pajamas, brush your teeth, shower, and do whatever you have to do before you crawl into bed.  You get into your comfy sheets and lay your head down on your pillow to rest. There's only one problem with this...you can't!  Your mind is going 90 miles per hour.  You have to sleep!  It's past midnight and you have to get up in less than 6 hours.  You spent time you should've been winding down and relaxing watching TikToks/Reels, doom scrolling, binge watching a new show, watching a movie, etc.  You can't seem to close your eyes or even relax your body...  This is a common challenge people with any neurodiversity face.   Getting to sleep can be HARD, falling asleep can be HARDER.   When trying to fall asleep, neurodivergent individuals are often challenged with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, and irregular sleep-wake cycles. In this post, we'll explore why sleep can be elusive for neur...
