Austin grew up knowing he was adopted, but never labeled as such within his family. And yet, he knew others who had different stories and different reactions. He uses his personal history as a starting point to talk about the process of "naming" and how the act of naming a person, place, or thing can sometimes be limiting. In addition, he discusses the issue of negativity in naming and the use of positive language to change personal outlook and life.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
