Autistic 16 year old- experience & review of, ‘Inside Out 2’.

Production babies are the babies born to the production staff during the entire production of the film. It takes years to make a Pixar film, so plenty of time for a few employees to become parents 😊

If only people understand that stimming has a purpose, they wouldn't be that judgemental

My theater has a sensory day, it’s so helpful. They put the audio down super low and the kids are able to stim all they need to even get up and walk around if they need to, judgement free! Us mums get a breather as well 🤭🫂 The world is slowly changing 🙏

I had a friend in high school who could have been Toren's twin: From his voice and linguistic mannerisms to the pacing with gestural flourishes, the similarities are uncanny. I realize now that my friend and I were both undiagnosed autistics; at the time we didn't think anything of each other's quirks - we were just a couple of the "eccentric" kids - being different may have more specific/specialized labels now but it's nice to realize that some people have always been able to appreciate and respect neuroquirky as a shared badge of honour.✊

"I love you too. You're awesome" ❤ Mamma, you better never doubt that you're doing a great job ❤

Toren is a whole mood in this video. Stimming while waiting, pacing, no shoes in cinema? Me

I think that's the cleanest movie theater floor I've ever seen! I dislike having shoes on too, but from my experience in theaters, the floors were ALWAYS sticky and gross. My shoes would stick to it, so its one place I always keep my shoes on (unless I'm in the seats with a bar in front of me then ill put my socked feet up). The half in half out of shoes thing i do too. I'd rather none when possible 😊. I'm glad you're able to get out and enjoy the movies. The waiting at the end definitely feels forever for the after credits scenes! 😁

My "tell me you're AuDHD without telling me you're AuDHD" from this video : 1) Sudden realisation that my toe-walking as a kid was potentially related to being ND. And this was such a common occurrence that my family actually took me to a doctor about it and I got tests ran and everything. 2) Pausing part-way through to check the comments section if someone has already explained what a production baby is. 3) Wanting to wait for post-credits scenes but also being super impatient and not sure if I can wait that long. 4) PACING 5) Infodumping immediately after watching something Inside Out is a special movie for me because I wasn't planning on seeing it but went on a whim and it turned out to be so good. So I'm very excited to see Inside Out 2, and I appreciate Toren's review. Also thank you so much for making the content you do, it makes me feel very seen.

Hello! My 7.5 year old son is autistic, he also has ADD and mild cerebral palsy. I recently found you guys and I really enjoy your content. I see a lot of similarities between my son and Toren. ❤ This has helped me understand him better and where he is coming from. And it's really interesting to see your perspectives as an adult with a later diagnosis. Thank you for sharing.😊

The movie made me soo uncomfortable. I had a hard time relating as well. I saw it with my mom and she explained to me how helpful It could be to kids. Which changed my opinion of the movie. I will def be rewatching it

Toe walking for life. So relatable. 😊

I've only found your channel recently but never been this early. I love your content so much and this was just another time it hit right home-- movies are always a conflicting thing for me, both unrelatable but undeniably good. The immediate rating of "great movie!" and followed deeper discussion and interest in the production style, characters, tropes, etc... I'm a pacer too. It just feels right. I love this channel and these videos so much, so thank you for them.

Watching Toren gives me more confidence at being brave enough to be myself.

I'm a pacer too, and hate wearing anything on my head that feels too tight (which is most things) so noise canceling headphones are not an option and I can only stand earplugs for so long. I got some loop plugs for sleep and hate them. I can hear myself breathe lol. I've often had a hard time at movies too. The sound, vibrations and brightness. Could never sit near the front. I haven't seen one in theater since 2016. You did great, so glad you enjoyed it!❤

I never realized it’s unusual to walk around with your feet half out of your shoes. I do this all of the time. Thank you for sharing so much autistic joy and stimming ❤

I couldn't stand the second-hand embarrassment, but it really helped my daughter understand what might be going on behind her meltdowns, the physical symptoms Riley would have been experiencing and the grounding technique shown to help her calm down again. I imagine it will be a great tool for therapists in the coming months and years.

What a wonderful time! Warms my heart to see you two enjoying family time together ❤

I can see that Toren is a wonderful man, and, that his mom has truly helped him to be his best self. It is my hope that we have people in our lives that want us to be our best selves. You are both such a lovely example of what can be good in the world. Thanks for showing us how it can be done.

yoo we watched it on the same day! i'm glad Toren enjoyed it, i'm in the same boat - couldn't relate, i was so friendless at that age, imagine having one friend group let alone two to choose from💀 but still liked it a lot as Riley the character's story instead of something to project my own experiences onto. such a good movie i'm glad this is the one franchise they didn't turn into a cash grab because it's my favourite <3

I love your guy’s videos. Keep up the great work Toren, you too Mama Wolf
