Robert DeNiro has really perfected his English accent.

The happiest times in my life have been when I am single. Marriage is beautiful when it’s good, and hell when it’s not. Regardless, it’s not for everyone. I’m in a relationship now, and even though it is very loving and healthy, I have to admit I am still at my best and happiest on my own. What drives me crazy is when I was single the comments I would get. I am established, home owner, very active and healthy, good social life, relatively attractive women in her 30s…. People would quiz me incessantly about why I was single. It was like I was an extinct animal. I’ve come to understand that 99% of people NEED to have someone around them almost every hour of the day and feel deficient if they don’t have someone, even if it’s a crappy relationship. People _do not_ believe you if you say you’re happy. Infuriating but oh well lol.

Interviewer did a great job here

PCOS and hormones (testosterone likely to be higher) also has effects on insuline levels and ALSO makes it harder to lose weight so those all could be linked. And has the link between pcos genes and autism genes been studied? Got my pcos hormones in balance after treatment and my insuline levels lowered and lost 15kg. 😂 Also has there been studies with how medically given oxitocin during childbirth affects children? With rat studies there was correlation between those two things

Great information! Just starting out learning about this issue. Needed to hear all this!!!

Thank you so much! So interesting! Dr.Rhodes great expert in this field!

I'm at marker 28.15 and its veey clear most of the people in the comments didn't actually listen to what was said but rather came in with the mind set of arguing. Which is really said, that guys a leadng expert and is a big proponent of the idea of neuro diversity and ending stigma. Personal experience does not make someone an expert, and it sees this day in age the worst advocates and the people doing the most harm for at risk communitys are people who have lived experience but not edcuation and argue with everythinh that doesn't match exactly with there experiences. To be a good advocate, to actually make change that matters you need multiply perspectives, lots of edcuation, lots of empathy, and not much talk, much mro doing workinh behind the sense.

Great interview and wonderful knowledge shared. I did find it sadly familiar how when the question was posed as to whether or not working environments should be altered to accomodate neurodiversity, it was totally ignored. Perhaps my bias is showing, but I really think open-plan offices, noise levels, forced socialising, reviewing of peers based on "normal" social expectations etc. are hugely problematic, and are for the most part these are fairly newly adopted innovations which are clearly problematic for us. I think they should be rolled back!

I disagree that people with psychopathy can’t be in positions of power. They are attorneys- law enforcement- Hollywood- the music industry- medical professionals etc - they live among us- how stupid to give people a false sense of security.

Allen Carr’s book on quoting alcohol saved my life

Finally. Someone actually says the truth. Psychopaths would make terrible politicians terrible surgeons. It wouldn't make sense that somebody who is genuinely psychopathic could be any of those things. I am diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder. And it's hard to deal within the sense that I'm Never been able to get a grasp on my own life and things around me. I'm always burning bridges. I have done a lot of therapy in the past couple years and I've been working on it. Also, going to be a medication suit for impulsivity and aggression. But what this guy says is true. It doesn't seem possible that persons with psychopathy could be in such prestigious positions and keep it. Everything will eventually burn to the ground.

Brilliant explanation! Thank you🙏🏻

That is-ah Borat cousin!! HIGH FIVE!!!

Dr. Amatory, you are amazing. Thankyou for this great interview.💜☮✝☮💜☮✝💜

This truly is me and I know I have Bipolar 2. Ty

Great interview, great questions, thank you!

My wife developed Schizophrenia (delusions and auditory hallucinations) at the ripe age of 60. How is that a developmental disorder?

Took the tests he developed…confirmed what I already knew. I appreciate it.

It's all Bullshit .Smoke and Mirrors shit

12 months sober, like coming back to these vids to keep me on track

After learning that some of my great-grandchildren and other near relatives of that age were diagnosed with autism i started to research it. I found a lot that sounded like me and did the AS test, also the alexithymia test and one other, and felt that i am probably on the spectrum. Imagine finding this out when a nearly 80 years old. I have so many physical and mental problems to deal with - including CPTSD - but don't feel I need to get a diagnosis now, especially as a diagnosis is so hard to get and can take a long time. Life has been very hard but I'm still here, although not really coping.

I never been drunk in my life! As a kid I took a sip of my grandpas beer and it was the most disgusting thing i ever drank. Now at 25 I see how my friends drink and how bad they feel the next day and I read Williams book on alcohol and it helps me understand rather than judge.

I've been drinking and enjoying nights out for 35 year's . I have no idea what these two are talking about .

This man is so smart and explains these things with such easy to understand metaphors. I’ve read 25 books about quitting or reducing alcohol, but this guy just “knocks it out of the park” Thank you

Seriously one could simply say to those freaks that are saying come on just have one beer, Oh I’m doing a sleep study to see if zero alcohol might improve my sleeping. That this particular study requires zero alcohol consumption. Pathetic I even think about things to say to people but they do pressure.

Weating your hat like ten year old child… grow up

Aspergers is non-Hive from Hive families. Hive lie without conscience. Hive coordinate the lies with finger gestures. Massive criminal medical cover up. The entire neurodiversity narrative appears to be a psyop to drug the non-Hive.

After being conned by a guy I was married to, I realized I had a blind spot to this type of person because it’s in my family. My brother was the same way. At least now I understand what was going on during my childhood. They were both so good at fooling everyone with their charm and then exploiting them, myself included.

I wonder: if one twin is diagnosed with autism, and their twin isn't, have the scientists controlled to make sure that one twin wasn't just brought up to mask their autism more? Or that one twin was diagnosed by a more experienced psychiatrist who paid attention to things like masking?

I am wondering, is it possible that autism could also be related to migraines? I have many features fitting autism picture and after all socially challenging situations I get a migraine attack. Even after positive social situations, but especially after negative or very demanding, such as meetings and conferences

After a while the booze is just drinking itself .

How can I find the best autism doctor in the world? Please

Why the interviewer ask about positive on psychopath????

I stumbled upon ASD a few years ago, and my 30 year search to figure out what the hell is wrong with me came to an abrupt halt. I am significantly disabled, but I don't need to pay a "professional" to tell me what I already know about myself. I don't need a label. A label won't get me the help, support and accommodations I've always needed. It won't get me a job or a friend. It won't make me more comfortable in the world or in my own skin. The neurotypical world has always told me how to be, and now I find the neurodivergent world telling me how not to be. Like I'm doing autism wrong. Baron-Cohen is doing his best, and it's better than nothing at all. I appreciate him immensely.

Great interview! Asked all my questions.

1 wk 1 day 17 hrs

I only make 900 dollars a month but would love to support most days in some compassity I can't pay the full amount, maybe you can offer me a scholarship price ❤

If all we are is the "outcome of priors" (and thus, we have no free will), is there any way, through my actions, I can falsify this claim? What action can I perform that will either support or disprove this notion? Until I’m shown a way to falsify the claim that we have no free will, I will continue to presume, and live, as if *we do have free will* -despite how erudite Robert Sapolsky is. Not having the complete answer to the question: “How did I turn out to be the person I am, making a particular decision, at a particular moment in time?” (considering my brain one second prior, my hormones, my environment for decades, my fetal stressors, my genes, and the weather this morning), does not mean that the answer to the question: “What flavor of ice cream will I have today?”, is “God will make the decision” or “Someone in ancient Egypt having passed gas, after eating a bean burrito, will be the determining factor.” I have difficulty believing that the ice cream cone I was handed was not a consequence of any decision that I, myself, freely made-if by 'free', I mean I was able to make a different choice. If the claim is unfalsifiable, as I suspect it is, then I’m going to assume the correct answer is “I don’t know if I have free will or not”-at least until there is evidence presented one way or the other. And since the answer is “I don’t know”, I’m going to continue to live my life as if I, me, moi played a significant part in my enjoyment of a chocolate/swirl ice cream cone with my grandson, Daniel. Oh, and by the way, *Daniel chose strawberry with sprinkles* (I wasn't free, apparently, to pick sprinkles because my mother’s belly was scratched by our cat one evening when she was pregnant with me-I think it was during a waxing gibbous moon, but I don’t remember a lot except for the scratch and that it was very dark).

61 days today. Feeling flat. Worried that life enjoyment will lessen. I know that will change but doing it tough at present

Schizophrenia is curable in some cases by way of the person taking the initiative to change what the person believes which isn’t easy but it’s possible. The hallucinations and delusions lose their power over the person when the person doesn’t believe in them.

So refreshing to hear a real autism scientist telling us how little science knows yet. I'm diagnosed as well but I'm so appalled by so many people posting things about their autism on you tube promoting them as scientific truths and all the people jump on that train. I know all scientific studies and it's so little surely known yet. It's horrible to see these people propagating so much nonsense just beause they believe all the "youtube-knowledge" to be the truth. Worst are the people saying I did research meaning they googled and youtubed instead of actually studying the scientific literature and weighing in the statistics of how valud they are. You'd be surprised of how much "truth" is only in what people regard as autism today.

Neurotypical equaly lack cognitive empathy towards autistic people as vice versa. But autistic people do not lack cognitive empathy towards each other.

Autistic people have usually no interest at all in the environmental factors of autism. As there is this a high danger of scientists finding a way to get rid of us. We exist - get over it! Why don’t scientists shift their focus to what is important to us, the autistics! We want research on our high suicide rate and our low live expectancy. We want research on how we can live better lives but not why we exist.

The drinking often feels like a lifestyle - ahh dealing with life, empowered by alcohol - all a massive illusion that's causing the worst problems in life all along.

Our subconscious can be likened to a caveman seeking immediate gratification, even if it means harm in the long run. Unfortunately, alcohol can lead to not just slow deterioration but also immediate, often indirect, fatalities in various ways. This reality demands careful consideration. The more comforting alcohol feels, the greater the peril it poses.

Consider the blackout episodes PTSD that only disrupts the ability to ever drink again. Post-Traumatic Sober Drive

It is an extremely dispiriting to hear a supposed preeminent expert on autism stating that one shouldn’t get a diagnosis unless they have a disability. Define disability for one thing and who gets to decide how to frame those parameters? Secondly, why would anyone be seeking a diagnosis in the first place unless they are experiencing difficulties? Diagnosis is financially and logistically challenging pretty much everywhere in the world. The suggestion that anyone is frivolously seeking out a diagnosis as some sort of navel gazing exercise is a dangerous supposition. Does he get his information from the trolls on TikTok? Using Elon Musk as an example is disingenuous too. Putting aside the fact that he is an anomoly in the population, another assumption is being made about Musk’s private mental health. Does Baron-Cohen pretend to know anything beyond the public persona of an individual. That’s just insane. Most importantly, it seems that Baron-Cohen is ignoring one piece of data that he should instead be focusing on. As anyone in this field should be - lowered average life expectancy and self h4rm. The fact that the rates of self h4rm are increased in high masking autistic females who are WITHOUT intellectual disability, completely contradicts his point. Disappointing.

Yes very good keep going I have been sober for going on 7years and is fantastic but not to let your guard down or you start from day one

Beautiful video. But you do not know how long it took me to realize Simon is not Sasha? Im like, what does borat have to do with autism?
