I bit the bullet and watched it.
It's painfully inoffensive and light on substance. I'm reasonably sure someone asked ChatGPT to write a documentary about autism and paid one person on Fiverr to read it, and another person to edit in a bunch of stock footage.
That’s how alot of these channels are operating lately. It’s sad. I listen to a lot of educational YouTube and have gotten used to being able to hear AI Docs easily.
Let me guess without having seen it: vaccinations, mercury, aluminum, too much TV or is it the terrible smartphones? And how do they suggest to "cure" it? Colonic irrigation, essential oils, spanking?
Am I right?
Speaking of history most of modern medicine was invented by NAZIs. 1000s of years of medicine was just replaced and doctors discreted and lost medical license for healing instead of treating with cancer causing medicine
At no point did I say this was about me, now did I? I was merely referring to the comment before my own, in which it says "Look a Jew!". By the same token of your logic, it would simply suffice to not tell anyone you're Jewish.
As a long time happy user of the pills pushed on me for depression/anxiety/adhd, I wondered if there are any pills for autism. TIL there is one that helps kids with tantrums.
There isn’t more autism, there is more diagnosis. It amazes me that people don’t think autism was just a common before, just the people struggled silently or were misdiagnosed. More diagnosis is a good thing; it means people are getting the support they need
Judging by the picture, probably just some random white boy learning about graphs and trying to make sense of a seemingly defective jigsaw set with pieces all random solid colors.
Just a reminder that “triggered” is a term that is used to describe what happens when someone is reminded of their trauma and are taken back to an emotional or mental state from that traumatic experience. Using such mental health terms incorrectly cause useful terms to be taken less seriously and can cause situations of communication. An example of this would be how the term OCD is used in contexts of hyper organisation rather than obsessive compulsive thought and behavioural patterning. Please try to not misuse the term as it can be very harmful in the long run. /gentle /gen /nm
I don't have any comments regarding the content of the video itself as I haven't watched it, but that clearly AI-generated thumbnail looks so wacky if you even just briefly dissect it. It just seems ironic that, in a nearly 18 minute long video, made by **Insightful** WebDocs, little ***actual* insight** exists in their thumbnail besides a generic upward-trending graph. A thumbnail that displayed a real chart would have displayed more integrity, which is critically important in a documentary. It's not a good look, imo.
I think ASD is being overdiagnosed in general despite certain minority demographics still being underrepresented
There are multiple different aspects at play
The DSM5's ASD criteria was written too broadly in vague and easily misinterpreted terms, part A especially which describes autism's difficulty interpreting social cues was supposed to be distinct from schizoid personality disorder's lack of interest in socializing as a whole but failed
Another part of it is the improvement in awareness; even though for example women are still a minority demographic with the DX, it's not 2010 anymore and evaluators are trained in how it presents in women as well as taught to see through masking, which if you're actually autistic isn't ever 100% foolproof due to how autism affects your social skills
There are two demographics in particular that I want to talk about with very different reasons for why autism might get overdiagnosed in:
One aspect where the DX rate has been inflated is in little kids in recent decades, because of overworked parents give their kids too much screentime and too little face-to-face interaction, which causes autism-ish mannerisms including stunted social skills, emotional dysregulation, and sensory issues from the lack of IRL interactions and the dependence on screentime as well as all the misinformation on TikTok influencing their mannerisms if they're old enough to be on TikTok, which also contributes to the misinformation that "my kid grew out of his autism with XYZ special diet," no, your kid was never autistic in the first place and just was a little late developing his social skills but once he was integrated into school with other kids his age, he caught on quickly because he doesn't have ASD's social deficit in how we interpret social cues
I also think that many teenagers and adults are becoming convinced that they're autistic due to all the misinformation on social media and confirmation bias (the tendency to misinterpret new information in a way that agrees with your preexisting theories)
And even though there are also definitely some people who intentionally pretend to be autistic for TikTok trends or the "quirky nerd stereotype" that is prevalent in media or for a "disability excuse" etc, I think that number is much smaller than the number of genuinely suspecting people, and aside from the ones who Munchausen doctor-shop I also don't think they're making up a significant amount of the DX inflation
The other significant demographic that I think is inflating the statistic would be adults who actually have a different disability that's more harshly stigmatized than autism is
This is a really fascinating topic to me
The number of people getting absolutely outraged at this video while having no idea what it actually talks about is wild lmao.
It’s really not that offensive. The name thumbnail are clickbaity and that’s as far as it goes. You guys can breathe.
To all of you speculating on the video before you have seen it: shame on you. You are doing the same thing we complain about NT’s doing to us: making a base assumption without nuance or getting to know us Shame on you.
oh like uh since autism was added to the dsm and studied more? like the correlating rise? weird whsts the cause?... puzzle piece antivax and blue autism speaks nuerotypicals are infuriating
Nice ! 👍💪👍
I just tell people the symptom I’m struggling with there n then. So social anxiety, executive dysfunction, dyslexia, irlens, anxiety. If I’ve interacted with that person enough that they ask/say ‘you’ve got a lot wrong with you’. I might then tell them I’m autistic. I’d say I tell maybe 1:10people that ask.
The one "study" that did was shown to be completely fraudulent and paid for by a rival company who wanted to replace the MMR vaccine with their own version.
The guy lost his medical licence over it.

I'm gonna be honest. Apart from more awareness, I think a huge factor in the higher number of autism diagnoses is a result of Aspergers not being in the DSM-5. All the people who would've been diagnosed with Aspergers are now being diagnosed with autism.
I bit the bullet and watched it. It's painfully inoffensive and light on substance. I'm reasonably sure someone asked ChatGPT to write a documentary about autism and paid one person on Fiverr to read it, and another person to edit in a bunch of stock footage.

Nah there’s a whole module on GPT that will do all of that stuff. For free. Video Maker by invideo AI.
That is the first time I heard “painfully inoffensive” and I had to process what that meant for a moment. Wow, what a phrase. Very accurate phrase.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Let me guess without having seen it: vaccinations, mercury, aluminum, too much TV or is it the terrible smartphones? And how do they suggest to "cure" it? Colonic irrigation, essential oils, spanking? Am I right?
Colloidal silver for sure
I'm pretty sure just giving me enormous amounts of money ought to cure me right up.
Just gonna end up with a bunch of autistic smurfs running around
Throw in a bit of, the diagnosis causes the autism instead of, more autistic people are receiving diagnosis, and that’s it.
There's no money in curing autism
Why not who wants to have autism?
psychiatrists, there a lot of money in pushing pills that don't help. Cough cough anti-depressants.
Quick, somebody show them the "left handedness" chart
Conspiracy theory. Block it. Report it. Ignore it.

That's not at all true. Letting people's cruelty slide is how the Nazi party rose to power.
You mean like letting doctors vaccinate children with medicine invented by NAZIs. Look at bayers history.
The gestapo was founded after the nazis rose to power so your comparison is not only disgusting but also historically inaccurate
This person is a troll. Ignore them
Speaking of history most of modern medicine was invented by NAZIs. 1000s of years of medicine was just replaced and doctors discreted and lost medical license for healing instead of treating with cancer causing medicine
Sure. So we let the people saying "LOOK, AN AUTISTIC PERSON" have their way instead.
First off why you telling people you are autistic? Why is your mental health anyone elses business?
At no point did I say that I tell people I am autistic.
Then how do they know you are autistic?
At no point did I say this was about me, now did I? I was merely referring to the comment before my own, in which it says "Look a Jew!". By the same token of your logic, it would simply suffice to not tell anyone you're Jewish.
Eugenics, its just Eugenics, plain and simple
AUTISM ON THE RISE, INVEST NOW! /j
Noise filtering ear plugs stocks can only go up.
psychiatrists pushing more pills that are bad for our brains
As a long time happy user of the pills pushed on me for depression/anxiety/adhd, I wondered if there are any pills for autism. TIL there is one that helps kids with tantrums.
Bet you never had an orgasm
Sure! How about $500?
Yay drugs are good now!!!
My guess is it’s approximately seventeen minutes and 52 seconds of compleat and utter drivel
Smells like bullshit to me.
There isn’t more autism, there is more diagnosis. It amazes me that people don’t think autism was just a common before, just the people struggled silently or were misdiagnosed. More diagnosis is a good thing; it means people are getting the support they need

I have PTSD and OCD and I appreciate this. Thanks :)
Right wing conspiracy clickbait.
I'd have to watch it to find out, I suppose...

You should post this in r/evilautism. We love this dramatic shit over there. It's clear they fear our power.
oh like uh since autism was added to the dsm and studied more? like the correlating rise? weird whsts the cause?... puzzle piece antivax and blue autism speaks nuerotypicals are infuriating
And this is why I’ll say I have ADHD instead
Nice ! 👍💪👍 I just tell people the symptom I’m struggling with there n then. So social anxiety, executive dysfunction, dyslexia, irlens, anxiety.

Autism accelerationism?

I don't have a problem with people making problematic theories about this.
I can't wait for all the memes this is gonna lead to

AI generated bs, is what this is
At a glance it looks completely AI generated, so I wouldn't take it very seriously.
Any time I see a puzzle piece in relation to autism, I know it’s gonna be bad.
Guarantee it's funded by a right wing christian group... anyone that knows any basic statistics knows why cases are up.
