I'm Ryan Perez — autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, diagnosed at 40. I make short video about disability, neurodivergence and the culture it collides with. Not inspiration. Infrastructure.
Every number in this document comes from a platform analytics export, not an estimate.
Four platforms, five years, every number exported.
TikTok
16 videos over 1M views account for 67,100,000 of it. Short, original-sound, dyslexia-demonstration video is the format that breaks.
Digital Stem Cell is the working account: 45,000 followers, 2,454,771 views last quarter. Bow Tie Kreative is Canada-first — the only commercial audience in the set.
YouTube
132,200 hours watched. 62% of the audience is 18–34 — a decade younger than the Instagram base, and the only long-form surface I own.
A 52,000-follower verified profile I have barely worked — and it still returned 1.4 million views and 108,067 interactions in eighteen months. The clearest upside in the portfolio.
Every post ships to all of them. The four platforms above are the ones with analytics exports behind them — the rest carry the same content to additional audiences that this document does not count.
Follower counts are summed from each platform's own reporting, which is why the total reads 248,710 rather than the 231,100 my scheduling dashboard shows — that tool does not track every account. Instagram also surfaces reels onto Facebook, so a portion of the two Meta figures may describe the same viewer twice; totals here are additive and stated as such rather than deduplicated. LinkedIn, Threads and X carry the same content and are not counted at all.
2,454,771 views in a single quarter.
28 May → 24 August 2026, from Instagram's own Insights export. 64 posts. 55 of them video.
Reels carried 78% of it. There is no case in this data for a photo post.
Culture stories bring strangers. A disability lens makes them stay.
I sorted 90 days of posts into subject clusters and plotted reach against engagement. The two rankings almost invert — except in one place.
Eight posts reading a live mainstream culture story through an autism lens. The only cluster in the top half of both charts. That is the repeatable product.
70% of all reach, second-lowest engagement. A faucet with nothing behind it.
12.36% median engagement, the highest of any cluster. Individual posts hit 17.92%.
A brand message placed in the intersection gets mainstream distribution and a community that answers.
16 videos over a million views. 67,100,000 between them.
83% of my measured TikTok reach sits in the top tail — short, original-sound, dyslexia-demonstration video. I know exactly what detonates, and I have five years of evidence for it.
Reach is a lottery. The community is the asset.
On TikTok alone, across 687 measured videos. People argue with me in public and come back.
Saved more often than shared. The explainer content gets kept, not just passed along.
Every share is a stranger arriving through someone they trust.
A 90-second post on vocal stims. The community content converts hardest.
3.53% engagement across a 687-video, five-year sample — inside TikTok's own healthy band for the 50K–500K follower tier, and not on the strength of one lucky month.
American, adult, female-leaning, and buying.
3–6 PM MDT
Instagram's own follower-activity heatmap puts the same three-hour block at the top on all three days. Campaign drops go there. 17,174 profile visits in 90 days say the traffic converts to a look at the bio.
I build bridges between the systems we create and the humans they forget.
Founder of Bow Tie Kreative, Calgary, est. 2013. Three published titles in 2025. The Second Brain — an AI-indexed personal knowledge system now at 446,628 nodes — is the research engine behind everything above.
Four ways in.
Sponsored short
One short video in the intersection format: a live culture story, read through a disability lens, with your message inside the argument rather than bolted to the end. Cross-posted TikTok + Instagram + Facebook.
Three-post arc
Setup, argument, ask — released across one week inside the Mon–Wed 3–6 PM window. Built for a message that needs more than one exposure to land.
Keynote or panel
Autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, diagnosed at 40. Not a resilience talk — a build manual for the systems that keep missing people like me. Corporate, healthcare and conference audiences.
Friction Audit™
I take your product, service or internal process and find where it fails the people it forgot. Findings, evidence and a fix list — from the Second Brain, 446,628 nodes deep.
