As an autistic dude who isn't particularly gifted at anything, nothing irritates me more than the "autistic savant" cliché. I feel like the message is always "Sure, NDs might be difficult and awkward to be around, but they still make up for their lack of value with this crazy super skill!" Always leaves me feeling shitty and useless.
Yes, having to be called - attention seeker crazy stupid idiot if i dont own talents or gifts. Comment section people say "Hello i have autism i am bad at social skills, but it all makes it up for my abilities" - i get to be sad of this every day. My life feels like i have delays and not delays not "Disability and Ability" And i feel worthless stupid, useless, pointless, nothing, unimportant. My brain is bad with people and with brain work or job or talking. All issues at once when i am crying of stress. My brain is pointless for this world.
its the expectation that if you're of value you have to contribute in ways listed by society, like intelligence in a particular field or looks. that shit hurts everyone eventually. sorry you have to deal with that. it's absolutely not true.
i feel the same, I have adhd but whenever someone says some cliche shit like that it kinda frustrates me. people can be really gifted at something dispite having a disability. it's really weird and uncomfortable being told you must be crazy talented at something when people with disabilities are just as capable as people with no disabilities at talents.
I'm autistic, and I can understand the frustration, but I don't feel very offended, because even though I'm not a savant, I know that an autistic doesn't have to be a savant to be smart. His intention was nothing more than to teach others that having a disability can provide advantages in other areas. There's nothing that suggests that they're required to use them.
The moral of these Dhar Mann videos is that you shouldn't mock people who face prejudice because you risk one of them turning out to have superpowers and clowning on you, and not, you know, that these are just human beings who deserve basic decency and don't need to prove to you that they have value. It's psychopathic.
These people have such a dualistic mindset that they can't comprehend a human interaction without pure heroes and reprehensible villains. There has to be a bad guy, and everyone they bully is secretly better than the bully in every way.

It's funny because Dhar Mann got into some trouble for using disabled people as props in his other videos and promised he would hire disability advocates to advise him on future scripts to be less ableist. This video is PROOF that he did no such thing because anyone with any disability will tell you that the whole "It's not disabled, it's differently abled" is super fucking stupid and patronizing
Idk what people exspected, the guy is already too rich and out of touch to display neurotypical people correctly, how would him making videos about disabilities ever work?

Dhar Mann's videos are so funny but so problematic if you think about it. Like in this video it's basically saying autistic people only deserve respect if they're smart and useful to others. In another video a white mom was being racist to her son's black friend and would accuse him of stealing until she met the black kid's dad and realized he was rich and so she stopped being racist as if saying she would be in some way justified if the black family wasn't rich. Dhar's videos really come across as "You only deserve respect if you are the best of the best or valued by society in some way (wealthy, smart etc.)".
Dhar Mann is like this bizarre alternate universe where people are mostly the same but 20 to 40 percent cartoon villain. God, that blonde kid would get the SHIT kicked out of him for being so mean to the autistic kid. "HOW ARE WE GONNA WIN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS SAM ON OUR TEAM?" And then somebody just punches him in the back of the head so hard his head slams into the desk.
@@michaelstrong5383 There's no way in hell he's really making these videos to "change lives". I decided to do a bit of digging on Dhar Mann: he's a rich-as-hell entrepreneur, who's been involved in everything from cosmetics to real estate to exotic vehicles, and he has lobbied to change California state marijuana laws. Back in 2010, he was charged with 13 felonies for defrauding an Oakland grant program that helped property owners pay for renovations, to the sum of about $44000, though all that resulted was him receiving 5 years of probation. Considering how safe and advertiser-friendly his videos are, combined with the sheer amount of content he puts up due to him reusing the same sets, lazily-written scripts, etc., it's pretty clear that his sole motivation is making money by taking advantage of children and adults with the mental maturity of children
Part of me wonders if he's trying to break stereotypes- but in that "See! The autistic kid can do something and is super useful! Bet you didn't know that!" or "Oh look, the black kid was actually rich all along and not poor and living in ghetto! Isn't that unexpected!" sort of way, but he severely fucks that up too because the messages are so poorly thought out and shortsighted.
I have another Dhar Mann video that was supposed to go up two weeks ago. But it got demonetized and TH-cam still hasn't reviewed it after I put the appeal in. I have no idea how long you'll have to wait. Also, BIG thank you to all the people that joined my Patreon and donated to my PayPal. You have no idea how much that meant to me and I can't thank you guys enough.
As an autistic person, I really do love it when neurotypical people do an eight second Wikipedia search and decide that they are educated enough for some hard hitting representation.
Don’t bully a kid cause he can help you cheat in games take away your chance to learn by doing math for you and bully other kids by beating them handily in basketball. Oh yeah and also they’re human beings or something but mainly you can wreck people without being good at chess
@@jebbryant6522 its like an AI designed the video after someone gave it a certain morale as goal and in the process it stumbled over all other morales like computers do
When I was in the same class as my brother, our teacher didn't go a day without letting the class know we were siblings, not to mention roll call making it pretty obvious. How did these kids not know the boys were brothers? It had to have come up.
So if I understand the moral in Dhar Mann's video correctly, we autistic people should be treated better, not because we're people too, but because we are so smart and do everything in the whole world, it can make other people take advantage of our intellect. This makes the Autism Speaks video on autism being a sickness factual by comparison.
This kid is offered help 3 TIMES and every time he's like "No, you're stupid!" And then IMMEDIATELY being wrong. Like you'd think after the first one you'd be like "Alright, you're probably right"
Omg, the teacher in the basketball scene was straight up looking at the wall like an NPC. There's no one there and nothing going on when she starts walking over LMAO
I saw the twist coming haha my younger brother is autistic. And i took care of him every step of the way. Not only that, but everyone in his class had his back from elementary to high school. If anyone ever picked on him, there was always someone there to have his back. I can't imagine a situation where you'd hate your own brother with autism like this. Unless he was jealous of the extra attention he got? Fuck is this shit haha
There's still a lot of casual ableism in schools...at least, that's my experience. Even if they aren't as blunt as the Dhar Mann bullies, it can get exhausting hearing "That's sooooo autistic!" and other casually ableist quips day after day.
@@TuesdaysArt yea I hate that. I only call things gay if they're gay. And I only say something is autistic if it is autistic 😂 but honestly, I'm somewhat of an autist myself 😉

Yes, I was going to say that because a lot of parents if they have a disabled child to give all the attention to that kid in the other kids left out an grows resentment
@@lauralaura4362 Except TH-cam has a built-in subtitles feature, so viewers can choose to enable or disable them. They’re burned into the video this way.
Having the script copied on to screen as subtitles because they may not always match is an interesting theory. But I prefer to think that DharMann is a condescending hack.
The twist that they’re brothers really adds a lotta dissonance to the coherence of the story. You mean to tell me that behind the scenes, when the bully goes home he sees his brother practicing basketball, knows his brother is smart enough to skip a grade, and understands that his brother has enough interest in chess to be able to tell that his next move was mate in 1 at a glance but he still acts like he doesn’t know shit about shit? If they were neighbors, maybe. If their moms were friends so they knew each other prior, maybe. but being siblings really fucks up the story.
Adam needs to do more of these Dhar Mann vids, It's a goldmine of cringe. I can understand that he just wants to make feel good pieces, but almost none of them are in any way or form realistic.
They're literally just video versions of all the "and then the whole room clapped" stories you see from Tumblr and Reddit. It's baffling how successful they are.
WWE four person free-for-all featuring daddy Derek in cool cat suit his main goal is to destroy the “bullies”, drar mann dressed like Greek philosopher, Neil brain has laptops to pommel enemies with and finally gooey Gus the slime monster Who as he gets angrier he gets stronger.
4:12 To be fair, that is actually a very common issue with people on the spectrum. Neurally divergent folks in general tend to have bad self-awareness, and many autistic folk would not question why it may be annoying to stick their nose into someone else’s games to give what is to them genuine assistance. As one who has lived like that before developing self-awareness in high school, I find it very understandable. Just noting that it is in-character for an autistic kid to do that, based on my own experience of being one.
Me and my friends (14/15 yrs old) actually play chess during school breaks a lot. We don't bring a whole ass chess board though, you can easily play it with an app or online.
Our chess club in middle school was setup and hosted by our shop teacher in the metalworks area. The boards and pieces were actually made in that shop, it was pretty cool.
everyone who commented on the weird setup of the classroom got owned by Dhar Mann's superior cinematic intelligence and foresight; it literally says "team-a" and "team-b" on the board its implied they shifted the desks around for a class activity (pretty common thing in the schools I went to at least)
just wanna quickly say that I had a similar treatment by my older brother back in preschool, less about him not acknowledging my existence, but rather that I didn't derserve to be around his friends. It did stop rathjer shortly after my parents found out
The autism video spreads misinformation and I hate it. Here's a little PSA: To neurotypical people, people with autism can often appear savant, but I'm positive that's because autistic people tend to have hyperfixations and are very invested in their specific interests. Therefore, they know a lot about said interests. I have aspergers myself, therefore I know and remember a lot of stuff in areas that most people I meet don't know much about. I can more easily retain information about my interests due to this fixation. Therefore, I appear smarter than I am. If I had a hyperfixation with chess, I would have memorized most every minute detail of it, learning to recognise patterns. Then I would be super quick to draw connections and think up strategies, making me seem like an actual genius, even though I still couldn't remember the name of someone I've been in the same class with for two years. I knew one autistic boy who could tell you almost any detail about random flight routines, because he had that specific hyperfixation. There are of course autistic people who are savants, and who have crazy efficient brains. Heck, this same boy had the uncanny ability of being able to remember any birthday and which day of the week specific birthdays would fall on. But these people aren't actually the majority with autism. TL;DR: Most autistic people aren't savants, but have a lot of knowledge concerning specific, perhaps niche interests. Please don't treat them well because they are superhuman and could be useful to you; treat them well because they are human beings like yourself, and they probably feel awkward and excluded more often than most people.
Typically, autistic people have an easier time with pattern recognition, which sometimes translates to what other people see as 'booksmarts'. It doesn't necessarily have to do with the hyperfixiation aspect
@@HerohammerStudios Good point! That's interesting. I'm far from being a neuroscientist or psychologist. I just wrote this from personal experience and a lot of anger at that video ^ ^;
If they're supposed to be brothers, wouldn't they have both transferred to the school at the same time and introduced with the same last name? They could've just have them be adopted siblings or cousins.
dhar mann has multiple videos where the siblings start in different schools and then the weird sibling just inexplicably transfers in after a few years or something? idk I know families like that but it isn’t THIS common (unless the autistic kid was homeschooled for a while before going to public where his brother already was which makes a lot of sense)
@@isabellavendel8838 whereas the situation is plausible, Dharr didn't put that much thought into it. If you asked him, I highly doubt he would have an answer. He just made him a transfer student to 1) help hide the twist that they are brothers; and 2) amp up the outsider sympathy angle.
Yes as an autistic people we didn’t really have a special needs class but we had this area that autistic people could gather to talk with fellow autistic people and it was pretty small
I'm 100% down with Adum dedicating a significant amount of time to dissecting Dhar Mann videos...it's like art imitating life, imitating art..39:36 Beautiful edit as always.
The inflections in Dhar Mann’s narration is almost like a window into the intelligence of the people who these videos are made for. Why does he sound like that?
As someone on the high functioning end of the spectrum (I have what used to be called "Asperger's" but evidently they don't use that term anymore), I gotta say... I absolutely _loathe_ the whole "It's not a disability, it's a different ability!" mindset. Absolutely, positively hate it. No. Take it from me. It's a disability. It's one I can live with, and I actually do like the fact that I see things differently because it makes me unique. But it's definitely a disability that causes me issues on a daily basis. I firmly believe that downplaying that does a disservice to people on the spectrum. It makes it seem like less of an issue than it is. You shouldn't try to fool yourself into thinking you don't have a disability-- you should instead embrace the disability and learn to live with it and use that as a means of personal growth.
(Typical disclaimer: I have autism) the reason why they stopped using the term Asperger’s because of Hans Asperger’s who was a Polish Doctor Who worked with the Nazis during the 30s and he specifically did a lot of tests on children and sent them to the gas chambers as well.
The strange thing about the Dhar Mann video is that how does the teacher not tell the students about the new kid in class who is the child's brother? Also how does the child not have a talk with the mother in his whole life about his brother having autism and how he should like protect him from bullies or act when he's with him or around others or anything? Wow such a cool twist
Does this school not to name call? Won't they have the same surname? Won't the kids see they go home and come to school together? Why did they let a mom yell at her son in class ans not away from other students? Does Dhar understand how humans do anything?
If Adam does want to get tested for autism, he should be warned that it's very common for adults being tested to receive a false negative because the formal testing is very much meant for children.
I'll also say that while I usually don't consider my Aspergers to be a disability, I do feel that it can be a disability further down the spectrum. It certainly feels like a disability for myself even sometimes.
Well, I did learn from the recent predator movie that being on the spectrum is the next step human evolution so I’m sure this will be of equal quality.
Ok, I think I see what's going on. Sam recently got diagnosed and has been getting more attention from his parents due to the autism, but also his intellectual abilities. Kyle has some learning disability and is jealous that Sam is having an easier time even though he is younger. So, Sam thinks if he puts Sam down and doesn't allow him to display his abilities, he will look better by comparison. It all makes sense...
I haven't played chess since I was a kid but that was such an obvious bad move even if he was gonna lose anyways. Kid with the long hair doesn't say anything cause he just likes owning this kid everyday.lol
What I love about the whole brother reveal is that they would have the same last name right? Now they could have a generic last name like Smith or something, but kids in the class would still question that. I remember as a kid if people had the same last name you'd usually ask them if they were family.
The idea of refusing to call autism a disability rubs me the wrong way. It fucks up my ability to do stuff, therefore I’m going to call it a disability. Trying to separate it just feels disingenuous and performative and acting as though other disabled people are lesser. Edit: oops I commented twice
@Addy I think that it’s notable that it you changed the disability of the kid with anything else (say adhd, ocd, dyslexia) it would change nothing about the actual video. It makes no effort to educate people about how autism works and how it affects people.
Yeah i sought out and was diagnosed with autism at 19 because I was having issues all my life and wanted to know the cause. Thats not something you do for something thats "not a disability"
I like how the kid didn't even learn to love his brother or appreciate the difficulties of having autism, he just learned he can use his brother's autistic Mega Mind powers to get ahead in life.
The kid with the long hair sprained his ankle the day before the first day and him losing his breath at the end of his line was him struggling to maintain strength
And, because of course, OAR, the group this video has a donation link to, while not seemingly directly connected, HAS created a smaller organization that actively promotes Autism Speaks as a good resource for general autism information. Which is like calling ISIS a good organization to learn general information about Islam.

Dhar Mann is like this bizarre alternate universe where people are mostly the same but 20 to 40 percent cartoon villain.
God, that blonde kid would get the SHIT kicked out of him for being so mean to the autistic kid. "HOW ARE WE GONNA WIN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS SAM ON OUR TEAM?" And then somebody just punches him in the back of the head so hard his head slams into the desk.
Exactly. Dhar Mann somehow isn't able to step up for a certain group of people without simultaneously looking down at another.
Dhar Mann thinks he's making these videos to "change lives", but he's sending the wrong messages.
@@michaelstrong5383 There's no way in hell he's really making these videos to "change lives". I decided to do a bit of digging on Dhar Mann: he's a rich-as-hell entrepreneur, who's been involved in everything from cosmetics to real estate to exotic vehicles, and he has lobbied to change California state marijuana laws. Back in 2010, he was charged with 13 felonies for defrauding an Oakland grant program that helped property owners pay for renovations, to the sum of about $44000, though all that resulted was him receiving 5 years of probation. Considering how safe and advertiser-friendly his videos are, combined with the sheer amount of content he puts up due to him reusing the same sets, lazily-written scripts, etc., it's pretty clear that his sole motivation is making money by taking advantage of children and adults with the mental maturity of children
Part of me wonders if he's trying to break stereotypes- but in that "See! The autistic kid can do something and is super useful! Bet you didn't know that!" or "Oh look, the black kid was actually rich all along and not poor and living in ghetto! Isn't that unexpected!" sort of way, but he severely fucks that up too because the messages are so poorly thought out and shortsighted.
I have another Dhar Mann video that was supposed to go up two weeks ago. But it got demonetized and TH-cam still hasn't reviewed it after I put the appeal in. I have no idea how long you'll have to wait.
Also, BIG thank you to all the people that joined my Patreon and donated to my PayPal. You have no idea how much that meant to me and I can't thank you guys enough.

When I was in the same class as my brother, our teacher didn't go a day without letting the class know we were siblings, not to mention roll call making it pretty obvious. How did these kids not know the boys were brothers? It had to have come up.
The excuse is that the autistic kid just transferred. But still, it doesn't work as a twist.
Your best friends don’t notice you arriving and leaving at the same time as the kid you’re harassing seems legit
I haven't finished the video yet. So the "big twist" is that they're brothers?
That could not have been more obvious. XD
So if I understand the moral in Dhar Mann's video correctly, we autistic people should be treated better, not because we're people too, but because we are so smart and do everything in the whole world, it can make other people take advantage of our intellect. This makes the Autism Speaks video on autism being a sickness factual by comparison.
Not to mention that was the Nazi Justification for making Aspergers a thing during WWII. "These ones are useful, label them different, dont gas them"
This kid is offered help 3 TIMES and every time he's like "No, you're stupid!" And then IMMEDIATELY being wrong. Like you'd think after the first one you'd be like "Alright, you're probably right"
i am autism, you ignored me, that was your mistake.
That was HIS STEAK
Bro you're high
"you lost because of just one thing. You pissed me off."

The kid on the left saw Code Geass one time and thought that the "a king leads his people" strategy Lelouch always uses was actually a good idea.
Omg, the teacher in the basketball scene was straight up looking at the wall like an NPC. There's no one there and nothing going on when she starts walking over LMAO
I saw the twist coming haha my younger brother is autistic. And i took care of him every step of the way. Not only that, but everyone in his class had his back from elementary to high school. If anyone ever picked on him, there was always someone there to have his back. I can't imagine a situation where you'd hate your own brother with autism like this. Unless he was jealous of the extra attention he got? Fuck is this shit haha
There's still a lot of casual ableism in schools...at least, that's my experience. Even if they aren't as blunt as the Dhar Mann bullies, it can get exhausting hearing "That's sooooo autistic!" and other casually ableist quips day after day.
@@TuesdaysArt yea I hate that. I only call things gay if they're gay. And I only say something is autistic if it is autistic 😂 but honestly, I'm somewhat of an autist myself 😉
@@TuesdaysArt what does 'ableist' mean?? Sounds like a meaningless buzzword
@@HerohammerStudios making fun of/discriminating against disabled people beacuse they are disabled so yeah not really meaningless, not saying people don't use it incorrectly tho.
Yes, I was going to say that because a lot of parents if they have a disabled child to give all the attention to that kid in the other kids left out an grows resentment
Dhar Mann moral: don’t be mean to autistic kid because he could be useful to your chess game.
The subtitles are for Facebook. Videos on your feed play automatically but with no sound so people put subtitles on their videos .
also apparently a lot of people watch these videos to learn english so thats another reason why theres subs
@@lauralaura4362 Except TH-cam has a built-in subtitles feature, so viewers can choose to enable or disable them. They’re burned into the video this way.
@@ScottSullivanTV yeah but theres also the facebook thing josh said
Having the script copied on to screen as subtitles because they may not always match is an interesting theory.
But I prefer to think that DharMann is a condescending hack.
Still better than anything sia has done.
No constraints vs. Movie that suggests constraints are needed
Truth.
Not saying much tho
Ngl, seeing these kids overact instead of underact is a breath of fresh air.
This is real life, there are no second takes.
Underrated comment
Nobody will notice! Movies aren't about the little details, they're about the big picture.
The twist that they’re brothers really adds a lotta dissonance to the coherence of the story. You mean to tell me that behind the scenes, when the bully goes home he sees his brother practicing basketball, knows his brother is smart enough to skip a grade, and understands that his brother has enough interest in chess to be able to tell that his next move was mate in 1 at a glance but he still acts like he doesn’t know shit about shit? If they were neighbors, maybe. If their moms were friends so they knew each other prior, maybe. but being siblings really fucks up the story.
As somebody on the Spectrum, this is absolutely hilarious
It was so obvious that they were brothers...
Adam needs to do more of these Dhar Mann vids, It's a goldmine of cringe.
I can understand that he just wants to make feel good pieces, but almost none of them are in any way or form realistic.
Honestly it's disgusting to make such an enormous amount of money over something so exploitative and badly made.
They're literally just video versions of all the "and then the whole room clapped" stories you see from Tumblr and Reddit. It's baffling how successful they are.

I love that Adam is like "NOBODY COULD HAVE SEEN THIS TWIST COMING!" but everyone but him saw it coming lmao
4:12 To be fair, that is actually a very common issue with people on the spectrum. Neurally divergent folks in general tend to have bad self-awareness, and many autistic folk would not question why it may be annoying to stick their nose into someone else’s games to give what is to them genuine assistance.
As one who has lived like that before developing self-awareness in high school, I find it very understandable. Just noting that it is in-character for an autistic kid to do that, based on my own experience of being one.
50/50 change I might still do that and I'm 21 lmao
Moral of the story: exploit your disabled siblings in order to further your own ego
I love the background they've chosen for the windows in the classroom. It's like their school is in the middle of a jungle.

Fuck now I can't unsee it
Me and my friends (14/15 yrs old) actually play chess during school breaks a lot. We don't bring a whole ass chess board though, you can easily play it with an app or online.
doesn't your school have a chess board lying around
Our chess club in middle school was setup and hosted by our shop teacher in the metalworks area.
The boards and pieces were actually made in that shop, it was pretty cool.
Fuckin' zoomers, man. Bring a proper board. Commit!
everyone who commented on the weird setup of the classroom got owned by Dhar Mann's superior cinematic intelligence and foresight; it literally says "team-a" and "team-b" on the board its implied they shifted the desks around for a class activity (pretty common thing in the schools I went to at least)
Dhar Mann is a true visionary. Stanley Kubrick? Get the fuck outta here! You have been usurped by a true cinematic genius!!
just wanna quickly say that I had a similar treatment by my older brother back in preschool, less about him not acknowledging my existence, but rather that I didn't derserve to be around his friends. It did stop rathjer shortly after my parents found out
How did Adum not see the "brother twist" coming? They literally look like brothers.
The autism video spreads misinformation and I hate it. Here's a little PSA:
To neurotypical people, people with autism can often appear savant, but I'm positive that's because autistic people tend to have hyperfixations and are very invested in their specific interests. Therefore, they know a lot about said interests. I have aspergers myself, therefore I know and remember a lot of stuff in areas that most people I meet don't know much about. I can more easily retain information about my interests due to this fixation. Therefore, I appear smarter than I am. If I had a hyperfixation with chess, I would have memorized most every minute detail of it, learning to recognise patterns. Then I would be super quick to draw connections and think up strategies, making me seem like an actual genius, even though I still couldn't remember the name of someone I've been in the same class with for two years.
I knew one autistic boy who could tell you almost any detail about random flight routines, because he had that specific hyperfixation. There are of course autistic people who are savants, and who have crazy efficient brains. Heck, this same boy had the uncanny ability of being able to remember any birthday and which day of the week specific birthdays would fall on. But these people aren't actually the majority with autism.
TL;DR: Most autistic people aren't savants, but have a lot of knowledge concerning specific, perhaps niche interests. Please don't treat them well because they are superhuman and could be useful to you; treat them well because they are human beings like yourself, and they probably feel awkward and excluded more often than most people.
Typically, autistic people have an easier time with pattern recognition, which sometimes translates to what other people see as 'booksmarts'. It doesn't necessarily have to do with the hyperfixiation aspect

If they're supposed to be brothers, wouldn't they have both transferred to the school at the same time and introduced with the same last name? They could've just have them be adopted siblings or cousins.
dhar mann has multiple videos where the siblings start in different schools and then the weird sibling just inexplicably transfers in after a few years or something? idk I know families like that but it isn’t THIS common (unless the autistic kid was homeschooled for a while before going to public where his brother already was which makes a lot of sense)
“The kids are allowed to use the gymnasium during RECESS?”
TIL this wasn’t normal lmao
Why would someone's brother be transferring to a new school?
Bullying, for example. I switched schools 4 times because of bullying, where my brother stayed in one of the schools.
@@isabellavendel8838 whereas the situation is plausible, Dharr didn't put that much thought into it. If you asked him, I highly doubt he would have an answer. He just made him a transfer student to 1) help hide the twist that they are brothers; and 2) amp up the outsider sympathy angle.
Plot twist: the entire class is special needs, that's why it's so small.
Yes as an autistic people we didn’t really have a special needs class but we had this area that autistic people could gather to talk with fellow autistic people and it was pretty small
I'm 100% down with Adum dedicating a significant amount of time to dissecting Dhar Mann videos...it's like art imitating life, imitating art..39:36
Beautiful edit as always.
The inflections in Dhar Mann’s narration is almost like a window into the intelligence of the people who these videos are made for. Why does he sound like that?
As someone on the high functioning end of the spectrum (I have what used to be called "Asperger's" but evidently they don't use that term anymore), I gotta say...
I absolutely _loathe_ the whole "It's not a disability, it's a different ability!" mindset. Absolutely, positively hate it. No. Take it from me. It's a disability. It's one I can live with, and I actually do like the fact that I see things differently because it makes me unique. But it's definitely a disability that causes me issues on a daily basis. I firmly believe that downplaying that does a disservice to people on the spectrum. It makes it seem like less of an issue than it is. You shouldn't try to fool yourself into thinking you don't have a disability-- you should instead embrace the disability and learn to live with it and use that as a means of personal growth.
(Typical disclaimer: I have autism) the reason why they stopped using the term Asperger’s because of Hans Asperger’s who was a Polish Doctor Who worked with the Nazis during the 30s and he specifically did a lot of tests on children and sent them to the gas chambers as well.
The strange thing about the Dhar Mann video is that how does the teacher not tell the students about the new kid in class who is the child's brother? Also how does the child not have a talk with the mother in his whole life about his brother having autism and how he should like protect him from bullies or act when he's with him or around others or anything? Wow such a cool twist
I'd be willing to bet they've been brothers their whole lives, adam
The moral of the DHAR MANN -
Be nice to everyone always because you never know when you may want to use them for your personal gain.
Blessings.
Iced coffee almost came out of my nose at "diffability" 😆
Gods these videos are so not genuine nor true to life in the slightest!
38:00 "There I am Gary, THERE I AM!"
I like your icon
I saw that twist when the basketball scene started. He saw him practice, he sad "I'm your--" then cutoff with "A NOBODY!"
Does this school not to name call? Won't they have the same surname? Won't the kids see they go home and come to school together? Why did they let a mom yell at her son in class ans not away from other students? Does Dhar understand how humans do anything?
If Adam does want to get tested for autism, he should be warned that it's very common for adults being tested to receive a false negative because the formal testing is very much meant for children.
I'll also say that while I usually don't consider my Aspergers to be a disability, I do feel that it can be a disability further down the spectrum. It certainly feels like a disability for myself even sometimes.
I love you! Thank you so much for releasing 2 feature length videos in the space of one week. It really helps.
Dhar Mann is true kino
Well, I did learn from the recent predator movie that being on the spectrum is the next step human evolution so I’m sure this will be of equal quality.
God I hate that movie
Ok, I think I see what's going on. Sam recently got diagnosed and has been getting more attention from his parents due to the autism, but also his intellectual abilities. Kyle has some learning disability and is jealous that Sam is having an easier time even though he is younger. So, Sam thinks if he puts Sam down and doesn't allow him to display his abilities, he will look better by comparison. It all makes sense...
You may be giving this video too much credit for its insightful story
That’s what I thought , I seen that in my family the disable kid gets all the attention from the whole family other kid is left out
Here’s the thing tho, Adam makes me genuinely laugh out loud. This is why i love the react clips
Long hair kid looks like the dedotated wam guy from minecon 2012

Wait, wasn't it _you_ who did the answering? You were the one at fault there.
I haven't played chess since I was a kid but that was such an obvious bad move even if he was gonna lose anyways. Kid with the long hair doesn't say anything cause he just likes owning this kid everyday.lol
Longhair just wants Sam to fuck off so he can keep fleecing Sam's dumbass brother's lunch money. "Don't fuck up my hustle kid. Stay in your lane."
What I love about the whole brother reveal is that they would have the same last name right? Now they could have a generic last name like Smith or something, but kids in the class would still question that. I remember as a kid if people had the same last name you'd usually ask them if they were family.

The idea of refusing to call autism a disability rubs me the wrong way. It fucks up my ability to do stuff, therefore I’m going to call it a disability. Trying to separate it just feels disingenuous and performative and acting as though other disabled people are lesser.
Edit: oops I commented twice
@Addy I think that it’s notable that it you changed the disability of the kid with anything else (say adhd, ocd, dyslexia) it would change nothing about the actual video. It makes no effort to educate people about how autism works and how it affects people.
Also autistic. Can confirm. It causes a lot of problems in my life and this whole video was super patronizing.
Yeah i sought out and was diagnosed with autism at 19 because I was having issues all my life and wanted to know the cause. Thats not something you do for something thats "not a disability"
@@YMSHighlights patronising but hey at least me and my other autistic friends got a good laugh and an ever burning rage by watching it
Yeah. Shits not good.
I like how the kid didn't even learn to love his brother or appreciate the difficulties of having autism, he just learned he can use his brother's autistic Mega Mind powers to get ahead in life.
Adam not getting they were referencing external basketball practice was funny but frustrating lmao
AND THEN HE CALLED IT OBVIOUS AND PREDICTABLE
I’m autistic but I’m getting held back. I’m breaking stereotypes 🙏

And, because of course, OAR, the group this video has a donation link to, while not seemingly directly connected, HAS created a smaller organization that actively promotes Autism Speaks as a good resource for general autism information. Which is like calling ISIS a good organization to learn general information about Islam.
