Finite ordinal spaces are discrete.
12+
So assume $X$ is an infinite ordinal $\alpha$.
13+
Let $S=\{\beta + 1 : \beta +1 < \alpha\} \subseteq X$ be the set of successor ordinals less than $\alpha$.
14+
Every point in $S$ is isolated, hence $S$ is discrete.
15+
The map $\beta \mapsto \beta+1$ is an injection into $S$, hence $|S|=|X|$ and by Toronto, $X$ is discrete as well.
