Autistic Regression in Adults - Why It Happens and What It Really Means

Hi! I'm Orion Kelly and I'm Autistic. You were doing well—functioning, coping, maybe even thriving—and then… Suddenly, everyday tasks feel harder. Socializing becomes exhausting. Your words disappear. Your energy’s gone. If this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing autistic regression—something that affects many autistic adults but rarely gets talked about. In this video, I’ll unpack what regression really is, what causes it, and most importantly, what it doesn’t mean about you. This isn’t failure. This isn’t your fault. And you’re not alone.
