The reason people get so upset about autism is because theres been an explosion in people self diagnosing their soical awkward tendency as autism. And now a lot of them wear autism as a "cool fashion item". It's really weird and infuriating if you know people with severe debilitating autism.
its also annoying to us high spectrum autistic people who try to at least be somewhat normal when you have people like that just being weird and quirky, all its done is just further bolstered stigma against us

Im a registered nurse, and have worked closely with patients with autism, and their parents. If i were to ask all of them what they would prefer: A. An effective cure for autism, or B. preserving "autistic culture", every single parent, even the Liberals, would take the cure in an instant.
@@habacue713 so you just want to protect your own self satisfaction rather than think about what is better for your childrens future. if i had the option to rewire my brain to not be depressed then i would take it in a heartbeat. doesnt matter if i change as a result of it if the change is for the better
@@against1virus Read what the OP said, they THEMSELVES privileged the parent's feelings, "An effective cure... every single PARENT... would take the cure in an instant", they didn't mention what the kids would want. Is there overwhelming evidence that autistic kids are unhappy with themselves or is it more a case the larger world is unhappy with them because they function differently? Don't automatically project what you feel about your own mental illness onto them.
If you join ANY autism awareness group, you will find all of them. If you even remotely suggest solutions that would make non verbal autistic children be more functional, then you will get hate beyond belief. They will accept behavioral coaches and such, but if you float the hypothetical of a pill providing the same result then you are essentially Hitler to them. It is a strange form of intellectual blindness.

Social Media has removed the mystery behind Celebrities lives. The reason people like Keanu Reaves are untouchable is because they stay away from social media and don't have outspoken opinions on things like politics. They know people don't follow them for their political takes, but their acting careers.

My daughter is autistic. We have been dealing with it for 16 years now. She has been shamed, ridiculed and looked down at. She has no friends and will not be able to hold a job of any sort. I would do anything to remove/cure it. These people that are angry at destroying autistic culture are delusional assholes that have no clue what they are talking about.
"She has been shamed, ridiculed and looked down at." And instead of decrying the way your daughter was treated, you agree that it's her brain's fault for being structured differently.

The dude barely goes outside and lives on the internet. His actual real life experience with anything outside of the internet is severely lacking, and his opinions on things are usually just parrot points of whatever creator he likes or that agrees with his assumptions. He yaps because he likes the sound of his own voice. A majority of what he says lack any substance or a unique view point, it is the same stuff we have heard 100 times from twitter edge lords.

My cousin is severely autistic. He's 35, and has about the mental faculties of a 7 year old, with even worse verbal skills. He was frequently having issues with weight and malnourishment because he only willingly eats about 5 kinds of food, and every time the packaging changes, it takes weeks to convince him it isn't otherwise different. He has severe bouts of rage and has nearly hospitalized family members numerous times. I can understand perfectly well advocating for people slightly on the specrtrum just getting the (mild) support they need and living their lives, but for the love of God, do not ever try to argue this condition isn't an ailment.
autism speak use electro therapy which has never gave any result toward curing autism one of the main line atributing to their leaderboard was along the likes of a "dead kid is better than an autistic kid" people are against christian fanatic that beleive the risk of a kid losing their souls is greater thant to accidentally killing them
I had client who have child with autism, if something change package we try and show him old package with same EAN (barcode) as new barcode maybe worth shot.
It is an illness. But it can't be treated by "rewiring your brain therapy", it's complete nonsense - this doesn't suddenly fix the number of chromosomes in your cells. With current scientific understanding it can't be treated at all, so no wonder many people consider donating to such charities as wasteful. It's Asmon L.
Autism isn’t some quirky club-it’s a real neurological condition that affects people in complex ways, and not everyone with it is the same., it's sad that some mfs are so desperate to label themselves with something to feel "special" or part of a group, what’s worse is that these types end up drowning out the voices of people who actually do struggle with severe autism, making it harder for them to get the support they need. Instead of advocating for real help, they turn it into some kind of trendy identity, like a personality accessory. It's honestly infuriating.
Nah, the problem is with the way it's defined. Mild autism genuinely is as widespread as it appears to be, if not more due to the number of undiagnosed gen X/Boomers. The issue is that it bears no resemblance to severe autism. Sadly identifying it as a spectrum is the best we've got, but it doesn't work very well for public communication.
You nailed it, just like all this other identity nonsense, it's dragging us actual autistic people through the mud where we've always been becuase it's only ever been seen as the "This one can't socialise" disease. I wish i stillwas socially inept because the evolved strain i ended up with since my teens is far worse. I can't ride a bike, or drive, or do anything multitasking 2 or above things because my automatic temporal amnesia kicks in and i don't even know in the moment i'm forgetting the 1 random task out N amount of tasks. That's what my autism does to me whether i like it or not. it's even happened about 7 times during typing this, where using 2 hands, i forgot letters mid-word and went back to re-type them.

I started seeing "Hatred for Jack" following the Tenacious D concert where his partner/bandmate went on a demented rant about Trump, hating Trump, and wishing ill on those supporting Trump. And Jack didn't refute it until he saw the severe backlash. It was so bad that Tenacious D "disbanded" afterwards. Jack didn't make any friends that night.
I didn't like him because of how he treated the study group in community after they were kind to him. I thought his behavior at Greendale was very poor for a man of his age. Writing this comment made go me rewatch that episode
His partner specifically called for the Trump shooter...or the next one...to be more accurate next time. That's particularly heinous and disgusting. And as you said OP, when he was on stage Jack laughed it off and made light of it. Then the backlash came and all of a sudden he was sorry and it was unacceptable the band is breaking up...for now. I bet they would have reunited if Kackles won. Either way, too late for most people, we saw your true colors Jack.
I think Jack is probably a lot better than a lot of the celebrities in Hollywood today (except Keanu). He's cool, but I think he's starting to get a bit more immature (especially considering the prank he agreed to pull on Michael Jackson)
6:02 is basically saying “Stop equating Jews (like me (Jack is Jewish)) for the Israeli Government.” Which many people do (especially the people who found it annoying). To me this is fighting anti-Semitism rather than “an annoying political take.”
No, it's largely trying to use the tragedy of the historic persecution of the Jewish people to provide political cover for atrocities Israel has been committing in Palestine since before it was established. If he wanted to condemn violence by both Hamas *and* IDF, while recognising that oppressed people have a right to rebel and the fact Israel has intentionally neutered the PLA and thus made Hamas the only option for armed resistance, and call for people not to equate people of Jewish background with Israel (a problem Israel partly creates itself by proclaiming itself to be a Jewish state, using the diaspora to lobby in other countries and insisting that support for our Jewish neighbours must necessarily mean supporting Israel's actions and policies), he could have done that. It's easy to write. Much easier than the word soup doing mental gymnastics that was shown.
@@liarwithagun Fair enough, until you consider that these average Israeli citizens have voted for successive governments that refuse to make equitable peace since the assassination of Itzhak Rabin. Pro-peace parties are barely represented in parliament, if at all. And the Israeli military is very much a people's army in that nearly everyone serves. I'm not suggesting being nasty to Israeli citizens is the right thing to do, but at some point responsibility has to rest with the electors. IDF soldiers who were posting photos of themselves wearing dead Palestinian women's dresses and laughing were not Martians, nor were the people liking those photos on social media.
As someone who literally works in the autism field. Autism isn’t just being quirky and socially awkward, it’s a deficiency in dynamic skills and decision making. Current research suggests it’s due to the frontal lobe not being connected to the rest of the brain properly and problems with both retaining long term memories and drawing upon them to make judgment about current situations. While the deficiencies can be different (ranging from not being able to pick up on facial expressions and non obvious social questions to the inability to regulate emotions and entering fight or flight over trivial things like losing a board game) they are just that, deficiencies. While they’re shouldn’t be a stigma around it people need to stop looking at deficiencies with romanticism
yes, people should not romance autism but rather seek to understand it and take it for what it is. It is the same problem society has with everything. We seek to romanticize things we fear due to not understanding them, rather than understanding them. Same with psychopathy, or even race or religion.
As someone with it, and also been a research subject in MRI tests, you're almost there. If I could describe the true symptoms in relation to how I've had them and know others with wildly different strains of it: It doesn't just affect that part of the brain and it also 'trades' a lot of aspects in order to function that way. however, the one time it has 'evolved' that part of my right frontal lobe had a severe migraine for several days and never again until just a week ago. - I currently (as of writing this) get automatic temporal amnesia when i draw on my short term memory or try to multitask simultaneous memory tasks such as peddling and balancing a bike. This evolved from an inability to understand social cues. totally different effects but caused from my condtion adapting to how i learned to socialise. In exchange for these 'debuffs' as it were, i find it extremely easy to code and understand complex narritive devices and convoluted puzzles, usually bordering on having enough aptitude to solve them before they've fnished explaining the gimmick or laying out all the pieces. - My friend however, dealt with severe anger issues, a lack of tone awareness, but now in his 20s, finds he emotes less to the pointt where i have to ask from his monotone deliveries what he's trying to convey. In contrast to that, he finds it easy to write literature and direct cinematography with excellent detail for shots and composition. He tends to notice these aspects too before even considering the content of what he's watching sometimes. At the end of the day we do still find some interactions vexingly annoying or obtuse, but at that point it's a problem with other people, and 'people' just being irrational illogical beings with strange biases and stranger reasons why they aren't being reasonable at times. Autistic people don't lack the efficacy of using skills and understanding concepts overall, we just trade some in for others, like how a blind man learns to hear or touch better or an amputee person gains better dexterity in their remaining limb(s).
I have some social deficiencies but the way my mind remembers data sets and analyses things/situations has been a blessing in many ways as a music producer and engineer, I’m not ‘severely’ autistic, I’m probably closer to someone with Asperger’s, but I was diagnosed at around 12 and the biggest issues I’ve faced personally is other people’s pre judgement rather than my issues myself of which I’ve simply learnt to more or less overcome myself now I’m a 22 yo adult, I know it’s different for others on the spectrum but saying it’s always more bad than good isn’t technically true, I’ve met so many gifted autistics in my life, you’d be surprised how well adjusted and talented some of them are
Having a brother with autism, i'm so f disgusted with these self diagnosed people who does it because they are just socially awkward people who are doing it for attention.
Same boat, I have an autistic brother myself too. Those attention seeking nutcase are the reason why it is so hard to help actual autistic people in the first place. Don't give a damn what they say, they are always full of shit.
ya we love being 40 years old and spending all day trying to teach people in the comments section who never learn or care about our time and effort. we've been like this forever. we can't ignore blinking lights and alarms and most people get paid either way so they learn to cry wolf and assume others are too.
In all honesty, if a celebrity made the same joke about Biden or Harris as Kyle did about Trump, leftists would have a total meltdown. But because it was about Trump, everyone said it wasn't a big deal and that the outrage was a "overreaction".
Sure, because nobody made fun about Biden or insulted him, and Trump does not get away with shit that no other politician could ever say - the problem is for sure the "leftists". You don't have a lot of real leftists in the US. The Dems are not left. The divide in the US is not left-right politics.
pretty sure communists and socialists hate trump AND kamala. they sat at home instead of voting for the first indian american woman (see hasan piker and other leftists). also wtf is wrong with what jack black said?

@@TinyToadSage He's saying that the vast majority of autistic people aren't savants, and it's annoying that people wear it as a badge of honor. When, in all likely hood they're just attaching themselves to it because it makes them seem more interesting. Like, in his word, the little piano kids.
At the same time, I think people need to grow some skin. Just because I don't agree with someone's politics doesn't mean I have to hate them. It just means that I don't have to care about what they think on the matter.
I work in a clinic for autistic children. We have therapies aimed at making those children learn how to communicate, go to the bathroom alone, go to school and have a normal life. Essentialy, making their autism seem unnoticeable to others. I don't understand why is that controversial or hateful? There are autistic children who can't really communicate at all if something happens to them, if they get lost in the streets, they cannot tell you how to find their mothers, what their name is. Not wanting to 'cure' autism means making these people vulnerable, and it's also burdensome to the parents.
The problem is that the general public never hears about the majority autistic people. They only see and hear from those who have the most verbal skills, who can post online and complain about others trying to change them. So there is this impression that autism is just about people who think a little bit different. They think they can speak for everyone with autism. Maybe THEY don't need therapy, but millions of others do. Maybe THEY are happy the way they are, but millions of others are suffering.
People get mad because curing someone means they are sick, and rightfully so. Being neurologicly wired different isnt a sickness. Proclaiming having autism is being sick only adds to the feeling of not being accepted. They should properly call it like something like managing the symptons or learning to live with it.
@ autism has no cure, as you mentioned, the symptons can be managed/masked. We use the term 'erasing the cognitive delays' (english is not my first language so i don't know if it's accurately translated).
Yeah, ive worked with some special needs individuals and the varied nature of their needs is wild. Some kids cant stop drooling but are utterly brilliant and pretty clever (people underestimate them). Others, look completely normal at first glance but have serious issues with basic things. Thats why research and care for these people are incredibly important. I still remember one kid in particular who opened my eyes to how black/white I was viewing his situation, and I wish more people had the opportunity to serve individuals like this. The biggest issue is society and short attention span culture has tried to make autism a luxury belief. As if they have it, it gives them some kind advantage? we live in a messed up world. Same issue with OCD and ADD etc, there are a lot of peopl who actually ahve it and deal with it daily, and now everyone is being labeled it, its damaging to those that do have it.
@ Okay ye better than calling it a cure yea. But then still even when they learn to manage it the symptons and overwheling experience are still there, its just that they learn to deal with it, if pushed too much it has high probabillity for burnout.
I'm an autist. The condition is generally seen as a negative thing, because it generally is. I have a hard time understanding why people take offense to a research team trying to prevent and remove it.
You might say that some people are fine with their condition and are able to live relatively normal lives. To then treat them as having a mental illness seems odd. But it is not about the cases where people can function fine. It is called a mental illness as a generalization.
Also autistic here. Its no different to being born left handed, double jointed, being born gay, with green eyes etc. We cant help being the way we are, its just something we have to accept. the things i mentioned you can't just cure either.
@thebreadbringer true, this is why research is important. For every PETA there's 5 ASPCA. Yet PETA gets more publicity and name recognition. This is why celebs have to be careful where they throw their names around at least from the 1950s up to 2024. The so-called star power is starting to dim and it should finally go out relitively soon.

I was diagnosed with autism when I was a toddler. I was selectively mute, couldn't handle loud noises, and I felt emotions 10x stronger then a normal person. It's hell, and it always has been. I grew up in Canada, which made it a lot worse- considering their disability assistance is god awful. My relationship with my issues has only gotten worse now that people have "romanticized" it so much. I don't tell people I have it- and I hate when I accidentally do. It ties me with the people who think it's cute. It's not. And "stimming" is not cute, either. I do it when I'm so overwhelmed with an emotion that I have to physically shake. When I get too upset- I have to physically stop myself from wailing around and breaking things because my emotions are just so overwhelming and powerful. I'm an adult woman- not a fucking toddler. Even feeling too happy can make me throw up. I hate the people who think autism is a personality trait. Now! I don't like Autism Speaks because they rejected help for my family. In fact, if I recall, they don't do much helping- mostly lobbying, fundraising, and "spreading awareness" or some shit. The only reason I was able to start speaking was because of local assistance from people who actually gave a shit.
@shibainu8062 exactly. Don't you think you have the right to mitigate all those problems if there is even a cure, a slight chance, to take it all away, and for once be "normal". Don't get me wrong. Everything you said I never felt it, and I don't really want to be like that. And all I can think and feel for someone as that is to get better and have it all you deserve. Peace, quiet and tranquility. Without all those problems. Sorry for being so direct, but these people make me sick. It's like they want people to be miserable, and consider it an ethical and moral decision. What the living hell ???!!! Its criminal...
@@ricardolourenco3707 it's that truth, they call it a spectrum and ignore the side that is a shade too dark. They only pay attention to the flowery "I'm quirky, tehee" The support should be "we have education and resources to make sure people who suffers autism can live their lives the best way possible and research way to cure deep and dangerous levels of autism" People who want to have a life shouldn't be forced to stim to just release emotions.

I think it's crazy that the crowd that says, "You can schshmort a baby at any point in time for any reason up to and including birth also, lets put all the all the schshmortion clinics in low income areas," now has a problem with eugenics.
Diagnosed* we just didn't clinically analyse personalities years ago. I do think schooling has reduced the social ability of some children below the threshold, however.
@mandowarrior123 going from 1 in 10,000 to 2,500 in 10,000 increase or so isn't justified by just diagnostic standards becoming more nuanced. Sure, that is part of it, but I doubt that accounts for the extra 2,499 people wince the 50s.
I have Asperger's Syndrome. I cannot speak for everyone under the Autism spectrum but the reason why I dislike Autism Speaks is because I find them ineffective with helping autistic people. The real help for Autistic people is things like behavioral therapy. I remember being much more of a wreck as a kid than I am now, if it weren't for my public school's special needs program I would probably be a more unstable person.
Remember, though, asperges is only a small part of the wider "spectrum" and really behavioural therapy is a very careful individual on an individual basis thing. That is probably quite hard to spread out as a big organisation.
I have Asperger. It’s not a disease. Our brains work differently that doesn’t make it a disease and that’s what I have problems with. Given the pros and contras it feels more like an advanced version of the brain who still needs to incorporate its social points. For me I my brain works faster and more efficient then 99% I’ve met. It’s evolution not an illness you need to get rid off. We need more understanding for the spectrum not a cure for an efficient working brain. People without autism are disabled in many ways autistic people are not. Disabled against what is perceived as “right” and “in general” doesn’t make it true. I have high emotionial intelligence and mathematical. You don’t have to cure it you have to help them in their disabled areas just like every other person

I don't see the problem with that. I have asthma, if there was a one-time cure all for it, I'd jump on that, too. I don't see the difference with other conditions. If you ever find a way to treat your autism, I hope it works great for you and I hope you have a great life, regardless.

Exactly lol, no one wants to be autistic, it's not a positive whacky trait that people want it to be. Everyone wants to fit in and be happy. Of course, don't feel bad for yourself but it's like when people try to spin a positive spin on me being a Type 1 Diabetic, it's like no this fucking sucks and I would do a great many of evil things to get rid of it.
As a psychologist i find it appalling that so many people think that autism cannot be helped, its insane. There are so many things that can be done, not a cure FOR SURE, but i have seen so many people with autism livibg their life comfortably while having great social interactions. We need more psychological awareness
I worke with mentally handicapped people all over the spectrum and indeed there can be A LOT of improvement. Some improvement is even linked with inflamation in the brain and simple physical exercise can help. The isnt a real "cure" but trust me I know parents that would give anything they have for some improvement in their child.
If you understood anything about Autism Speaks you would see the problem. No one has an issue with researching autism and how to cure it. AS spreads medical missinformation and tries to push harmful 'treatments'. They mistreat people with autism.
I mean its pretty hilarious how everyone is claiming autism right now though... especially these late diagnosed autism cases. Almost like we're just renaming people with extensive trauma and dysfunctional relationship skills with the label of autism. That way we can put the autism bandaid right over their dysfunction, not have to make any effort to help themselves, and to excuse their weirdness. Heck having autism is now a victim badge and we know how much everyone longs to be a victim today... 🙄
i've had many autistic friends i have a friend and we literally socialized him like a child he was one of the oldest in our friend group by 10 years we'd take him out to get him used to social situations so that eventually without our help he can be a viable member of society. it works, it's not like autistic people are broken and can't learn you just have to have a gentler and more guided hand with them usually. but that might not be what you're talking about you said helped but AS wants to CURE it get rid of the whole thing which sounds awful i wouldn't consider any of my autistic friends in need of CURING what ever that would entail.
@@mcrekkrIt's short for 'Trump Derangement Syndrome', a joking and derogatory term for people who are unable to not think about and complain about Trump, no matter what he does.
@@mcrekkr "Trump Derangement Syndrome", a quasi-real mental condition where a person who is otherwise sane seems to lose significant mental faculties when it concerns American politics, and more specifically, the current President. I say quasi-real because while it is not in the DSM (the big book of mental illnesses taught at universities), it is actually detectable and testable, and is more or less a permutation of Windmill Disease (the belief that windmills will cause illness somehow, and the stress from believing this actually will cause illness in the person if they get near windmills, they get so stuck in the paranoia inside their own heads that their mental and physical condition changes). Notably, Mr. Black has not been diagnosed with any forms of Windmill Disease or Paranoia ailments, let alone TDS in particular, but "TDS", like "psycho" for an amoral or mean person, or "retard" for a dumb or ill-educated person, is often bandied about and labelled on people who loosely resemble the condition while not actually having it.
Better to stand open and free rather than stay quiet and keep to yourself worry about censorship and backlash.. this is America.. nobody should be attacked for who they vote for.. politicians are not celebs, they r not role models.. they are Men & Women doing the most hated jobs on the planet.
I understand the attitude "Autism isn't a disease" but the idea that trying to figure out if it is a disease is a bad thing is nuts. If it turns out autism isn't something that can be prevented or cured then so be it but why the fuck would we not even try to figure out if that's true? (I am autistic btw. I promise you... If someone said "hey you can get this shot and be normal" I'd be first in line) I mean didn't we learn this lesson from Rogue in X-Men? It's easy to run around yelling "difference isn't disease" when it's not your life being ruined by it. If Down syndrome was preventable or treatable would anyone be against that? Life for people with disorders commonly referred to as "neuro-divergence" is hell and I'd be willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of us would give just about anything for a cure. I don't give a fuck how you feel about it politically or morally. I'm tired of needing care I can't afford, needing medication I can't get, and be expected to function in ways I simply can't. I'd give anything to wake up and know that my wife won't have to deal with all the bullshit that comes with being married to someone like me anymore.
The existence of it directly refutes their entire world view. They believe all humans are essentially blank slates and that it's impossible that genetics could be a factor for the widely different outcomes between the races. The idea that you can literally create objectively better humans though selection in the mating process is "pseudoscience" is absolutely hilarious. We've been doing it with animals and plants for over a thousand years.
As someone with similar neural disorders, yeah, having to worry about meds to make sure my emotions don't go haywire in one direction or the other. Being "touched by fire" (iykyk) is not fun.
That's not the reason why I hate autism speaks. The reason why I hate it is because they're talking shit about autistic people in their commercials and campaigns. I think they're even saying they're a nuisance to their parents and stuff with that. I don't think they're giving Asmon the full picture here.
I know that Kyle said that in a joking tone, but I don't believe that he was joking. Think about it. It's a dude who really DOES wish that, wishing that in front of a crowd that really DOES wish that! The joke isn't that he secretly doesn't want Trump to X, the joke is that he ACTUALLY SAID IT OUT LOUD when that's not socially acceptable behavior. The crowd didn't laugh cause he said it in a joking tone. They laughed because they AGREED. The joke is "Oh my, he actually said it in public!!".

Now i constantly see people on youtube and tik tok who claim to have tourettes and make it their entire personality. And you can clearly tell they are faking it. And then if you say its fake everyone attacks you.
@@PotHead98 has she tried any cannabis/cbd or anything like that to help? Mushrooms will rewire your brain as well but not much research has been done on that.
No, magic mushrooms don't rewire your brain. Stop giving ridiculous medical advice to strangers.@@richriver5336youre a random stoner who was told random false information from other random stoners. There's a reason actual scientific backed synthetic drugs are used and made for actual medical practice and not potions made in someone's kitchen from naturally occurring drugs found in the forest. Notice we live about 70% longer than anyone ever has in the passed. Cus of actual science not hippy bs. Just stop.
I have Tourettes and found out from my newer dr the effects from Tourettes medication can last a lifetime. It's really not worth it and I would recommend a medical card (weed) if that is an option. Tourettes medication helps you find out how zombies feel like practically.
Everyone attacks you... the thing is "everyone" is just sock puppet accounts used by these influencers to prop themselves up. Social media is so easily manipulated it's sad. Anybody can fake a following by creating a bunch of fake account and circle jerking themselves. So many celebrities do this. Think Elon Musk using his fake Adrian Dittman account to pat himself on the back for being "such a great father" or using other fake accounts to promote lame Teslas. Or LeBron James using 50 fake accounts to prop himself up as the greatest basketball player of all time... it's all fake.
I can't speak for all autistic people, but as an autistic person myself, I don't wish to be cured or "healed." What I want is for this broken society to accept me for who I am. I want a fair shot at employment, not to be seen as just a "mental case" who would be a burden in the workplace. I want a fair shot at finding romance, instead of being viewed as someone who needs a second mother rather than a partner. But instead of that, I'm denied both. Sure, I can rent a home and receive special needs care that helps me manage daily tasks, but… I will never have stable work, which means I can't get a loan to buy a home. And because I don't have a job or own my own house, finding love feels impossible-especially when so many people seem to care more about what's in your wallet than who you are as a person. This society is broken. Change needs to happen. Don't "fix" autism-fix society.

The problem with curing autism is that games like Factorio and Path of Exile would lose their playerbase overnight. You’d think you want to cure autism, but you don’t. /s by the way

As a celebrity, you've chosen having both the pros AND the cons of fame. Yes, people can have opinions. However, fans and supporters CAN ALSO have their opinions and choose to stop supporting you. Simple.
Neuroscience nerd here (focus on mental and behavioral health, particularly with autistic people and schizophrenia, and addiction as well). You can't exactly "rewire" the brain with autism. Yes, you can apply things like speech therapy, behavioral therapy and occupational therapy, but that does not "remove/take away" how the brain is "wired." Additionally, there is no specific medication for autism. You can take meds to manage symptoms to help with health issues that usually present in autistic people, such as anxiety, digestive and pain issues, etc.. With therapy though, you can learn to manage symptoms, however, that doesn't mean autism isn't there (even if you are great at what you do and aren't otherwise bothered). When symptoms are managed through medications, therapies, even exercise, and they aren't causing distress and are improving, it's usually called being in remission. (Not in remission from autism, just to be clear.) One example is that speech and communication are some of the most common things people notice. My son and I are autistic but we have different communication patterns. I have a special interest in communication and foreign languages and science outreach (I've chaired events and held speeches as couple examples, and I've done a ton of volunteer work over the last 5 years in these communities). My son on the other hand is a "Gestalt language processor," basically he learned by mimicking and talking in scripts rather than forming his own sentences and he has to use a speech tablet. He will freeze up and go mute sometimes if the communications is overwhelming. He'll eventually be able to form his own sentences and hopefully won't be as overwhelmed, but I'm using that as a simple example to explain that even down to language, the brain gets "wired" in certain ways that aren't "removed," rather we can learn to work around them. I'm very good with socializing and other subjects that don't live up to autistic stereotypes. Unfortunately I've seen both autism and schizophrenia romanticized and it's just pretty gross. One last example is just like with schizophrenia, you can't get rid of it. I hope we can one day get rid of it or have way better treatment plans. The best we can do is medication (sadly it doesn't work for everyone) and different therapies (also not guaranteed to work). You can learn to manage it and go unnoticed in symptoms, but that doesn't mean it went away. I'm also schizoaffective (on the schizophrenia spectrum) and it's not uncommon for both spectrums to cross each other, which makes treating autism and schizophrenia even more difficult. Then we get to touch other subjects. Laws and regulations, lifestyle, how hard it is to get help, and the shady stuff psychwards do to their patients. Those are more conversations for another day. ((Hopefully this was a wee bit informative!))
this is 100% correct, literally 99% of people here are so uninformed its baffling. not to mention, autism speaks is hated for their use of reicforcement electric shocks to the autistic people, to force them to mask and pretend its a cure.
I'm an aspie and I agree. I think the movie "Temple Grandin" explained it well. Certain skills can still be acquired with time thru learning. The sensory issues remain.
@@NicholeCybele Thanks for the thorough explanation. That said, I dont think the majority of people think that (at least not the informed ones anyway) We know it's not currently possible to essentially remodel and rewire your brain. But some people out there want to see a future where such becomes no longer a realm of wishful thinking but a reality. I know such a scenario will bring about a whole host of other philosophical and arguably greater dilemmas, like what is ones identity if everyone can rewire their brain and personality at a whim, but it's the trade-off I can only see us having to take, if we want to make an as moral decision as possible about how to move forward. Not striving for a cure, or even worse, not wishing it on anyone is equally morally bankrupt and screwed up as wishing autism to be eradicated all entirely. Give people like us (or our kids) a future where we have the option to choose whether or not they want neurological disorders to be a part of their lives. It is really the only right thing to do.
IDK if this works in all cases but my mom contracted meningitis when she was in her early 20 a while before I was born. she survived it but lost all her functions like talking, walking, etc. She was basically factory reset with breathing as the only working function. Long story short, she went through a kind of rehabilitation that rewired her functions back. rn she is health, she can walk. eat, talk, run, drive a car. so I think it's is possible to rewire the brain. I am not sure if this works for all kinds of disabilities
It's a lose lose situation, write it and people will boo you for writing it and think you are insincere, delete it and you are insincere, people have made up their mind by this point and there's just no backing out of it, overall for the sake of collective memory, it is better on a personal level to delete the message than to keep it. You can't really gather meaning from it either which way, you have your view and you stick with that view. I personally agree that I don't really believe that he meant the apology, at least on some level, but I also do not think that we can draw conclusions based on him deleting the tweet, or even writing it to begin with.
That's a good point, furthermore because it's someone of celebrity status, so people might think that because a celeb can say it up on stage that it's ok to act like this, "because HE was allowed to, so why shouldn't I?" Especially when there was no pushback from ANYONE, the crowd even cheered it. I can see someone adopting that behavior based off the reaction alone, people are very impressionable.
It’s unhinged at best, Kyle can make all the apologies he wants but now he’s shown everyone that deep down he still thinks that way, he didn’t choose those words out of a hat he embraced them so much he let em out.
This just highlights the harmful acceptance of mental health disorders that leads to people never trying to improve themselves and blaming all their flaws on mental health and acting like they don't need to make an effort to do better.
How would big pharma profit from treating disease if you fix the disease though? Think of the poor board members. How will they get a second yaht? Or an island?
I have Tourette's Syndrome. It is a neurological condition. I would LOVE for it to be cured!!!!! No one would be trying to erase me. They'd be trying to erase one of my life's biggest problems! Without Tourette's I am still here! Without autism those people are still who they are... minus one big freaking problem in their life.
I know someone who has a daughter that is autistic and she weill never be able to function independently in everyday life let alone drive a car. Yet there are people who claim they're autistic and that 'it's a spectrum' just so they can use disabled parking bays nearer to the store.
They never did. Hassan went for a lazy bro character at first, then just nepo'd TYT until he could be racist in 4K. Destiny was always low effort googler with no intellectual discipline and a mouth like a motorboat. His bad takes aren't a reflection of him as much as it is the persona he created himself.
As an actually diagnosed autist, I very much welcome people doing research into how to prevent it. Autism makes life much harder. I get so sick and tired of all these people claiming to be autistic because they self isolate themselves from the outside world and never learnt how to communicate properly. I am autistic and I have worked my ass off to learn how to communicate effectively, so that I can survive in modern society.
God bless you. It's the same thing with depression, ADHD and so on. It's become popular to identify as these. I think it's a money thing because every personality quirk now has a medication.
usually asmons dad has W takes. This time he was wrong. There is no cure for autism lmao. Behavioral therapy is not the same as actually getting rid of autism
hes been having L takes these past couple months, and he ALWAYS does the thing where if you dont agree with him he strips it down to "IM SORRY I THOUGHT CURING AUTISM WAS A GOOD THING"
@@HastelloyC276 unless you go pretty deep in the rabbit hole you don't get some stuff. He can't fathom the horrors of microfiber if he doesn't feel it that way on his skin.
People are really hammering too hard on the cure word. What it really means is that researches keep researching autism and keep trying to find ways to not cure=delete autism, but cure=reduce/dealwith/understand autism which is exactly what behavioural therapy could achieve
1:45 I literally had the same reaction. There is no WAY people are mad because a group of people are trying to find a cure for autism. “Don’t treat it like a disease” BRO. This is why glamorizing illnesses damages the society. Everyone wants to have autism now so God forbid you try to help them🤦🏽♀️
Correct every angsty teen wants autism as an excuse for their lack of social interaction and etiquette. Worse yet most of them have no idea how debilitating autism can be especially low functioning autism.
It just shows you don't understand what autism is, particularly when you call it an illness. Being autistic tends to come with other symptoms, yes. Being white increases your risk of sun burn and skin cancer. Is being white an illness too?
It’s not that as its related to the mind, it’s is them. It’s not like they have a bad controller or something or it is inhibiting them. A cure would not “free” them, it would be more like changing them, it’s like conversion therapy. Their autism isn’t something tacked on to them, it just is for them.
As someone who is on the autism spectrum (professionally diagnosed, not self diagnosed) I can confirm there are aspects of it that really get in the way of basic functioning that I wouldn't wish on anyone. While there are other issues with Autism Speaks the idea of trying to find a cure/treatment/whatever is not one of them. Injecting politics into entertainment on the other hand is just obnoxious.
I agree, as someone also on the autism spectrum, I've been corrected a lot of times when I called Autism a mental illness, and I have no clue how I could be wrong. Some people have their life heavily impaired by autism, I am lucky to only have some problems with it, but even those already annoy me.
@@dantereinhardt6911I think cause mental illness is usually seen as a delusion, like transgenderism. I imagine that it’s more environmental. When I was a kid the majority of autistics were all the same, the children of those in Silicon Valley. It went from 1 in 10000 to 1 in 36. I’d guess it’s something like microplastics since they’ve found those in a newborn and it concentrates in the brain, breast and testicles
Depends who you talk to. Asking autistic people, I said in the hypothetical if a cure for autism existed, would they take it? Some I've spoken to said they absolutely would and they believe it would make their life easier. Others said they considered it part of their personality or sense of self and were far more hesitant to say that they would, because they believe it would change who they were as a person, even if they did not like certain aspects about autism.
I'm autism too - this is true, and frankly a great example of this is the Elon Nazi salute. That stuff REALLY bothers people and for me personally Elon never bothered me because I can spot 'em a mile away - he DEFINITELY has it. Doing something stupid like a Seig Heil on a world stage just because you're goofy and have little understanding over how people see you is high functioning autism 101.
Finding a cure and treating it like a disease is not possible. We could probably prevent it from occurring which is okay, but we shouldn't be treating it like a disease.
My son is autistic. He's 21. He has a beautiful brain and is truly the source of so much of my joy. However... he, at 21, needs total assistance with most adls, including toileting. He will probably never live independently, drive a car, or even go to the food store by himself. The smallest change in his schedule sends him into a total meltdown that can last all day. It drives me insane when people who have mildly autistic, self diagnosed tics represent it as no big deal. You can only do so much nerfing- the world is just not set up for people like my son. Like every other issue that has captured society, many things can be true at once. I love and accept my son unconditionally, but I can also acknowledge that his life is much harder than a "typical" child. There's nothing wrong with an advocacy group supporting treatment research.
The problem with a full "cure" which would have to tamper with neurobiological structures, is that there wouldn't be a guarantee on how an autistic person would turn out after said tampering. They might need a tonne of help to do even basic things as an autistic person, and that's bad, and if a cure could get rid of those needs while preserving the autistic person's personality, then that'd be awesome - but also very likely impossible. A sweet autistic person being cured, they could go from being sweet, to being a terrible person. That's what holds me back from wanting a cure for myself. If I could cure the worst aspects, while maintaining who I am as a person, I'd want that. If a cure means that I no longer value the things I value, and if there's a chance that I could become a terrible person that harms people, then...I don't want that.
That's not what they are. They exclude autistic input in their research and have even lobbied to prevent autistic input from being allowed. They also promote "therapies" proven to be ineffective and abusive. They're not an "advocacy group supporting treatment research".
As a father of a 23 year old non-verbal autistic adult, most of ya'll have NO IDEA what it's like. All of these people that say, "Oh yea, I'm austistic too!" No, no you aren't. I'm sorry but my son and you are not the same. You didn't smear your feces on the walls when you were younger, nor did you try to eat drywall after you've picked at it to get to the drywall. Sorry, not sorry. I am 100% for trying to find out why the brain is wired that way, and I will continue to support any organization that does so.
It's a spectrum. You think they don't have it because you disregard the fact that it's a spectrum. Most people on the spectrum do not smear feces nor eat drywall, and your experience with your son isn't reflective of the spectrum as a whole. Sorry, not sorry.
Asmon, a big part of the reason they cancelled the tour was insurance related. After he made that assassination joke, no inaurance company was willing to insure the venues if their tour came there. So they basically were forced to cancel.
Like I think that JB's joke was in very poor taste but like at the same time - it's nothing I'd crucify JB over. At least he didn't do a Destiny where he said he was glad that innocent people got shot. When you understand JB and Tenacious D's whole background is counter culture - but it's counter culture in a bubble, JB thinks saying that about Trump is sticking it to the establishment without realizing they're the establishment now. So to me it's freedom of expression I'd by a hypocrite if I wanted to cancel him over it. Ask for JB taking bum parts in bad movies that's just a given.
When someone says: "Don't miss next time." that's kind of concerning, maybe it's not technically a threat or w/e, but it's still a window into the desires of the person who made the comment nonetheless. It's not a joke no matter how you spin it. It can be interpreted as a thinly veiled threat. I ain't a censorship kind of guy, but publicly going out there and making those kinds of comments is harmful and could reinforce extremist thinking.
on the flip side, these people live in echo chambers of like-minded peers and the thought that people with opposing views exists that wouldn't find the joke funny doesn't actually crosses their minds fast enough in an improve situation, we likely say similar or worst things among friends but yeah, calls to action is a poor taste of humor regardless
It's ok to be an ethnicity. Just don't steal, kill or rpe people. And keep your culture to yourself. T. Brazilian part German, part native american mongrel.
When you just as yourself in every movie, thats not an actor. Actors today almost all do that. When you watch older movies you will be blown away by the ability of many real actors. Thats not to say there aren't real actors today. But playing yourself is a cameo not an actor.
Hollywood actors need to realize that getting political will make them lose fans, but not getting new ones. That simple. There are no reason whatsoever to do it.
But when a literal gen@ cide is happening then its crazy to fathom not to be against it. Has anyone even heard that the literal leader of Israel has been issued an arrest warrant?
A lot of punk rock and thrash metal bands are intentionally political. But for most musical genres I say steer clear of politics because you're gonna lose half your fans.
There are comments that would make you realize the truth but unfortunately they get flagged :/ The truth is there’s a reason why Netanyahu has an arrest warrant issued by the ICJ
I’m not too familiar with the charity, but in my eyes the “Autism doesn’t need a cure” argument is privileged. I’ve got a tad of diagnosed autism. I’m just not great socially and know too much about legos and transformers. I can pretty much circumvent the negative affects just through learning about how to act in social situations. I wouldn’t want a cure. But I’ve worked with people who are borderline nonverbal, who can never have a normal job, who miss out on massive amounts of life due to their ASD. Acting like they’re perfectly fine and something that could help them speak and have a normal life is bad is awful to me. ASD IS A DISORDER, and all the people who have just a bit of it (or were overdiagnosed and don’t have it) acting like “well all it means for me is I’m socially awkward and like trains so I think a cure is bad” disgust me.
The main reason a cure is bad is because the cure would not be like clearing a mental fog it would be literally changing how you or those borderline non-verbal people would naturally think, it’s much closer, if not is, to just changing a person at their core (core being the mental). That is what “re-wiring” is.
What are some of your favorite LEGO elements? I'm a little too partial to the light grey 1x2 tile with Black Tape Reels pattern. Although light bluish gray is good enough. I have a small bag of pirate gold that I treasure too. Pun intended.

He didn't mention how Jack black denounced shallow hal because of the message is sends... but its actually a good message, that's the point of the whole movie..
You mean like Jack denouncing what Kyle said about the shooter missing trump. Jack has known him for over 30 years, Tenacious D formed in 1994, Jack KNOWS WHO Kyle is. They clearly talk like that behind the scenes
@@SuperLifestream Which is... While not fine, it's "fine". You're entitled to being an edgelord little schisse in the privacy of your own home, or hidden away in a break room with only two people present. But you have a private-facing persona and a public-facing persona, and that isn't being two-faced, its just being a functioning member of society. You get naked and mate with your wife in private, but you don't do that in the middle of Time Square. That's not duplicity, it's common sense. Kyle had no common sense. He went up and effectively said "I have my dick out when I'm in my bedroom, clearly I should whip my dick out on stage too!", and people weren't much fans of that. Share it with your significant other, but don't bring it up on a paid stage, especially if someone else more or less made that stage and audience for you. Jack Black likely also endorsed senseless murder of innocents, just like Kyle, privately between them. Sure. Which makes him a bad person, objectively speaking. But he didn't bring it up in front of a massive audience, Kyle did. His denunciation makes sense.
@@SuperLifestream To be totally, 100% fair, there's a massive difference between what we think is okay to say in private when with buddies, and what we think is okay to say live on-stage in front of throngs of strangers and on camera. I, personally, don't take issue with him joking about that; I take issue with him joking about that publicly on-stage in an official capacity.
@ScrambledandBenedict That is actually very fair, and it is also very easy to allow a longtime friend to get away with saying something trite in public. Or just not reacting fast enough or feeling it is necessary to say something for or against them.
My friend rewired his son he started at a very young age, for one reason and one reason alone. "I'm not going to be here his whole life to make sure he's okay and can take care of himself." "He is going to hate me, I will be one of his greatest inconveniences" "I never hurt him, but he needed to communicate with me, he needed to speak, he needed to express his needs I put him in situations where he would be forced to talk to me, forced to learn words, and forced to think critically for what's in his best interest" This in turn gave me the ability to teach him everything that no one else would provide him as he grew, I only needed to connect a few of the dots (wires) in his head and now 20 years later he has his own home, goes to work, and is an adult that doesn't need me. I'm a father that has a son who won't fall apart when I'm gone, because I gave him my best.
It's insane to me that the internet's stance on autism is literally that south park episode where cartman pretends to have Tourettes and goes off about how awesome it is to a kid that actually has it, who's like "No.. It's awful." They literally think "Autism makes you so quirky and funny, and you're so engaged by your favorite characters, it makes you so interesting" meanwhile if you've spent time with someone who has autism, even if it isn't severe, you can tell how much it affects their lives negatively and especially potential friendships or relationships. TikTok tried to do the same with other conditions like Bipolar or BPD, but it didn't stick because it's harder to get diagnosed with them and they're mostly always very severe.
It's insane to me that you are trying to make that episode seem like a bad representation of autism when they weren't even doing an episode about autism Cartman was pretending to have tourettes syndrome they are completely different things
Pretty much hit the nail on the head.. Sadly, it is like those who have replied already... your point will go on mostly unnoticed by the majority. The real problem is almost every single person has some form or multiple bias' that we were taught somewhere. Those very bias views are holding us back from being the best people we can be. We all have a pair of invisible shades over our eyes blinding us from the things we really need to see and understand. Our world needs true patience, real compassion and some serious effort to get us all working with eachother instead of against eachother. The work can only be done individually, I can only contribute through me, you through you let's reach the goal together.
its insane that you dont seem to understand what people are saying on the internet then. no one in the autistic community is saying that there is not issues and roadblocks we encounter in "normal" society. But let me ask you this, do you know the difference between driving an Automatic vehicle and driving a Manual Vehicle? thats Normal brains vs Autistic/adhd brains. If you try to drive the Manual like an Automatic you can easily damage the manual beyond repair, and yes the Automatic is relatively easier... But have you ever seen an Automatic Race Car? You realize that the Solution that places like Autism speaks would wish to apply to all of us is that we all become Automatics. No chance of being a broken mess, but no chance at being a Race Car either. The actual answer, in which the Autistic community has been screaming at you for decades is that we dont need to learn how to drive automatic, we need to learn how to drive manual, we need to be given the opportunity to become the race cars we can be. if all that race car analogy went over your head, go look up the absurdly skewed ratio of Artistic talents and the arrangement of A-typical 'mental disorders' like autism, adhd, bi-polar, etc. now go look at the same for entrepreneurial work loads, and see how many huge companies that had a single person at the helm also had that person be Autistic / ADHD. Autistic People dont need our Manuals turned into Automatics, we just need to be allowed to learn how to drive our Manuals.
Autism covers a gigantic range but there are definitely autistic people who should be cured if a treatment was available, as they are often miserable and dependent on others for their entire lives. Autism can be far far more than social awkwardness. It can include physical impairments that hinder survival. Yes, there are some very successful autistic people, but most truly autistic people would be better off without it. Unfortunately the term has been watered down by self diagnosis - attention seekers who crave the benefits without ever having the hardships of it.
There's no cure for autism, Asmon's dad was just straight up lying when he said they have meds and can rewire the brain to cure it. The only known thing that might help is therapy to learn coping strategies, which obviously isn't a cure.

If you're currently having children, literally turn on any late 80s to 90s movies, live or animated and you and your kids will be a 1000th times happier and more human. You're welcome.
As a 20yr old child of 80s kids, 100%, my favorite movies are from that era. They’re so much more genuine than most of what’s put out today. My brain calms when I watch one
Funny enough the other week I was listening to some old Pearl Jam albums and thought that it would be cool if somebody made a film today that was sort of a "day in the life" from the 90s. The 90s had its issues, but man it feels like things were so much better. Perhaps people are old enough now where a love letter to the 90s would be like how Stranger Things was for the 80s.
My son has autism. It took years till we got a diagnosis. We didn't know what's going on. I'm glad that in school there's a community around him that respects him the way he is.
@@spaceherpies My understanding: There is no cure. He will never be "normal". But he can learn coping mechanisms.

One is a moral issue. The other is a difference in brain development, and society expecting these people to conform to societal expectations. You're also making the mistake of looking at a small subset of the population as indicative of the logic behind this. We can all agree the clowns on social media are clowns. But that doesn't mean that trying to cure ADHD or Autism isn't Eugenics. These brain differences exist for an evolutionary purpose, societal purpose. We would not have an estimated 15-25% of the population as Neurodivergent if it was just an abnormal way for the brain to develop. This "Cure" for autism, is an implication that they're somehow bad, broken, and in need of fixing to be more neurotypical. Rather than society just accepting that they're different and helping support those differences.
@@truckywuckyuwu behavior training is helpful for ND people to cope with society. you cant expect 75-85 percent of the population to conform to the 15-25 percent. your claim that there is an evolutionary purpose behind ND is a fallacy, evolution happens at random and successful species survive, if ND doesnt present an immediate benefit to reproduction than it has nothing to do with evolution at all. i think that you would find a pretty normal distribution between ND people who cope well enough and have off spring compared to those who are incapable and do not. which is why rates of autism probably have always been consistent, but identification of, and identifying as being on the spectrum have become popular and over represented relative to history where ND people were outcast and shunned and known by other derogatory terms.
Being literally restarted must serve evolutionary purpose too 🤯 and every other genetic "deficiency"!!! We MUST ACCEPT EVERYONES behavior no matter how debilitating it is to our instinctual and societal drives. Wow, you're a genius. Or...you don't understand evolution, in that it doesn't serve ANY purpose. It's a semi-random distribution of traits that survive evolutionary filters. Doesn't mean it serves a "purpose". And society has eliminated a lot of previous filters. Not advocating to ostracize people, but there are obvious behaviors both people exhibiting them, and others on the receiving end, wish they could minimize/be rid of.
My only criticism of KGs apology was he said "I dont condone violence" when he literally did just that. He should have said "I shouldnt have condoned violence."
That's the saying for someone who knows they're evil. 'Put on a mask, until your true side is discovered' is the same thing... Use your own mind, don't just use sayings that you think sound cool. 👍

My son is autistic and was nonverbal until 5yo. He was very timid and introverted. We started him in ABA and Speech therapy at the age of 3. By 4 he was grunting and making noises, and by 5yo he was starting to say actual words. He is now 8yo and still in therapy and goes 3 times a week. Now, not only does he speak well, and have no problem communicating (He won't ever stop talking now and I am so thankful), but he has become extremely outgoing. He loves playing with other kids and meeting and being around new people. He still has room for growth and improvement but has been completely rewired by continued therapy and special care. He still stems by flapping his hand and dancing on his tiptoes, but he is pretty much a normal kid now and will only improve. We have made so many sacrifices to get him where he is, and we will continue to sacrifice to help him become the best version of himself. I truly believe one day we will be able to treat autism in the brain at a neurological level.
Soo Ure saying, 1. Ure son has autism 2. U managed to treat all negative impacts 3. U still support HYUGENICS And won’t to change a fundermental part of how YOUR OWN CHILD THINKS??? Becours? Becours we all need to be normal??? Becours we shuld cure people of the black and the Jew next? In all your yeahrs with your son, ASSHOLE, have u ever, ONCE talked with a professional??? Ever looked into what autism actually is and does??? That is a litteral different way of thinking and u basicaly wont to do to your son something worse then death by killing his personality ??? Please do give me ure address or a name, so I might call the asylum and cpr on u
My autistic son is 5 and is a lot like it sounds your son used to be. I am so grateful you shared your story because it gives me hope for him. Thank you! 😊
My son also has autism and will be 19 this year. What you described sounds a lot like how he was when he was little. We had him in speech therapy in school and he got tutored every summer until 6th grade. We paid his PA from school to tutor him every summer. This helped make a drastic improvement in him. The other thing that was suggested was a high protein diet. He wasn't as a much of a meat eater when he was younger ( teacher called me to tell me he took all the ham off his sandwiches at lunch and just ate the bread and cheese). So he got peanut butter and honey instead. I'd say my son is mostly normal . The biggest thing that will make his freeze up is anyone being angry or raising their voice. His sisters drive him nuts because they are loud so he will just go to his room. His mannerisms are what mostly gives it away that he has autism. He talks fine and understands things. I think having the high level of focus and teaching during his early years made the biggest difference. I would suggest that if you have the ability to. His sister didn't help with the speech when he was younger because she would talk for him and "translate" what he wanted ( they are 2 years apart).
@syoung4471 My son has been in ABA and speech therapy since he was 3, and he still attends 3 times a week. It's wild that you mentioned something about a high protein diet. My son has milk and egg allergies, so his diet is limited and consists of 90% protein and multivitamins. He eats more grams of protein a day than his weight in lbs. I also supplement him with Nascent Iodine every day as well.
When I was younger, I had a speech impediment caused by falling face first onto glass and shattering all my baby teeth. I went to speech therapy. What's interesting is that they taught me how to reform words using different parts of my mouth and take the extra time to enunciate clearly, how to use various physical and mental tricks (such as how we engage a different part of our brain when singing vs talking, and how to breathe in a way that gives me better volume control and resonance), even introduced me to synonyms for common "tricky" words for people with lisps that I could fall back upon under stress (ironically, "lisp" is still one of the few words I struggle with, and I know a girl with a stutter who literally can't *say* "stutter", proving that whoever named these things was a bit of a dick), and generally did everything in their power to fix me after I broke my mouth. What they didn't do was teach me to teach society that lisps are a perfectly natural alternative method of early speech development and they need to practice listening better and check their tongue-to-tooth palette privilege at the door. If I'd gone to school even a decade or two later, they'd have probably left me completely unable to verbally communicate or otherwise engage in common functions in life, and then patted themselves on the back for fixing the REAL problem, bigotry and intolerance towards fiffu fhu fpifh fif fifh. Allegory for all the slower folks in the back who think that "curing" an ailment or illness is the same as "erasing" that person's lived experience.
Autism is not something you catch, like herpes or the flu Finding ways to live with it (which we already have), instead of trying to find a cure for a syndrom we know basicaly very little
@ Dude, we don't even fully understand autism, and you want to find a cure for something you don't even understand in the first place?

I dont have autism, but i do have tourettes. I recieved behavioral therapy from a pediatric neurologist for more than a decade as a child. As a child, my tourettes were almost out of control, but now as an adult, theyre nearly imperceptible. It does work. Incredibly hard
You can teach someone with autism to "fit in." The best advice to give someone with autism is to treat socialization like it is their occupation. Eventually, they'll be able to control their anxiety but just like a muscle, they have to keep using it in practice or they'll lose the skill.
@@supremesenpai8932 yeah and I looked into autism speaks and it seems like behavioral therapy is mostly what they promote and work in. I've copied their mission statement. Quote, "Autism Speaks is dedicated to creating an inclusive world for all individuals with autism throughout their lifespan. We do this through advocacy, services, supports, research and innovation, and advances in care for autistic individuals and their families." So to say they just want to cure it is intellectually dishonest. I don't really see anything wrong with this organization
@@supremesenpai8932 You can't cure a missing leg either, but you can still learn to walk with the aid of technology. The person who knows how to function with the debilitation is still fundamentally a different person that one who cannot. I'm sure if you plucked someone out of ancient times and showed them what we're capable of doing to help the condition, they'd call it a cure.
Typically love your content, but an individual with autism, and as a mother to a child with autism, NO. There is no cure. It is a genetic neurological defect. Autism speaks treats people like lab rats and cash grabs. Autism speaks was supposed to provide resources to families for therapies, and equipment that insurance wouldn’t cover. Families rarely received this help. Austin’s speaks also promoted that people with autism have childlike minds, when that is very far from the truth. They focused on the very severe end of the spectrum, while the majority of individuals with autism were left without essential resources and studies. Furthermore, there is no rewiring. What ABA therapist DONT see if what happens when therapy is over and their masking techniques are finally dropped. It is EXHAUSTING as an individual with autism to have to MANUALLY react to situations nuerotypical people would react to without thought. We do double the work for the sake of society, instead of augmenting society to work for a very large portion of it. You lose a lot of credibility in this home for this. All it would take is a conversation with someone with autism to understand…
My dad is highly functional and autistic and my 3 year old is more mature than he is in many ways. It's certainly 'childlike' though he certainly isn't a child. So you're being uncharitable there. However i'm skeptical of all non profits. They rarely come close to helping people, any of them.
The problem with Autism Speaks is that it has a long history of trying to give parents a fearful view of their autistic child, touting that the only solution is getting rid of the autism, when at the current era we live in, the more important thing to know for parents is how to accommodate their child, not using experimental treatment to try to 'cure' autism. Most autistic people can become very functional and self-sufficient if given the right tools when their young.

The reason people get so upset about autism is because theres been an explosion in people self diagnosing their soical awkward tendency as autism. And now a lot of them wear autism as a "cool fashion item". It's really weird and infuriating if you know people with severe debilitating autism.
its also annoying to us high spectrum autistic people who try to at least be somewhat normal when you have people like that just being weird and quirky, all its done is just further bolstered stigma against us

Im a registered nurse, and have worked closely with patients with autism, and their parents. If i were to ask all of them what they would prefer: A. An effective cure for autism, or B. preserving "autistic culture", every single parent, even the Liberals, would take the cure in an instant.
I’d take that cure for myself. Granted I could’ve been a lot worse off. I’d still rather be normal.

@@against1virus Read what the OP said, they THEMSELVES privileged the parent's feelings, "An effective cure... every single PARENT... would take the cure in an instant", they didn't mention what the kids would want. Is there overwhelming evidence that autistic kids are unhappy with themselves or is it more a case the larger world is unhappy with them because they function differently? Don't automatically project what you feel about your own mental illness onto them.
Never met a single parent of an autistic child who demanded that people stop trying to help their child.
autism speaks is not the right help for it though
of course the only people who talk about we don't need to cure disabilities are the ones who are not effected by it
Jack wished trump would die while he was in Australia, he got kicked out the country
If you join ANY autism awareness group, you will find all of them. If you even remotely suggest solutions that would make non verbal autistic children be more functional, then you will get hate beyond belief. They will accept behavioral coaches and such, but if you float the hypothetical of a pill providing the same result then you are essentially Hitler to them. It is a strange form of intellectual blindness.

And instead of decrying the way your daughter was treated, you agree that it's her brain's fault for being structured differently.
I have family friends who have actual autism, and I don't get the clique of those who self diagnose themselves to excuse their "quirky behavior".

He yaps because he likes the sound of his own voice. A majority of what he says lack any substance or a unique view point, it is the same stuff we have heard 100 times from twitter edge lords.

My cousin is severely autistic. He's 35, and has about the mental faculties of a 7 year old, with even worse verbal skills. He was frequently having issues with weight and malnourishment because he only willingly eats about 5 kinds of food, and every time the packaging changes, it takes weeks to convince him it isn't otherwise different. He has severe bouts of rage and has nearly hospitalized family members numerous times.
I can understand perfectly well advocating for people slightly on the specrtrum just getting the (mild) support they need and living their lives, but for the love of God, do not ever try to argue this condition isn't an ailment.
autism speak use electro therapy which has never gave any result toward curing autism one of the main line atributing to their leaderboard was along the likes of a "dead kid is better than an autistic kid"

Thank you for sharing! I agree 💯
I had client who have child with autism, if something change package we try and show him old package with same EAN (barcode) as new barcode maybe worth shot.
It is an illness. But it can't be treated by "rewiring your brain therapy", it's complete nonsense - this doesn't suddenly fix the number of chromosomes in your cells. With current scientific understanding it can't be treated at all, so no wonder many people consider donating to such charities as wasteful. It's Asmon L.
Its an ailment, but not a disease, as many people are calling it and treating it accordingly.
Autism isn’t some quirky club-it’s a real neurological condition that affects people in complex ways, and not everyone with it is the same., it's sad that some mfs are so desperate to label themselves with something to feel "special" or part of a group, what’s worse is that these types end up drowning out the voices of people who actually do struggle with severe autism, making it harder for them to get the support they need. Instead of advocating for real help, they turn it into some kind of trendy identity, like a personality accessory. It's honestly infuriating.
Nah, the problem is with the way it's defined. Mild autism genuinely is as widespread as it appears to be, if not more due to the number of undiagnosed gen X/Boomers. The issue is that it bears no resemblance to severe autism. Sadly identifying it as a spectrum is the best we've got, but it doesn't work very well for public communication.
You nailed it, just like all this other identity nonsense, it's dragging us actual autistic people through the mud where we've always been becuase it's only ever been seen as the "This one can't socialise" disease. I wish i stillwas socially inept because the evolved strain i ended up with since my teens is far worse.
I can't ride a bike, or drive, or do anything multitasking 2 or above things because my automatic temporal amnesia kicks in and i don't even know in the moment i'm forgetting the 1 random task out N amount of tasks. That's what my autism does to me whether i like it or not. it's even happened about 7 times during typing this, where using 2 hands, i forgot letters mid-word and went back to re-type them.

I started seeing "Hatred for Jack" following the Tenacious D concert where his partner/bandmate went on a demented rant about Trump, hating Trump, and wishing ill on those supporting Trump. And Jack didn't refute it until he saw the severe backlash. It was so bad that Tenacious D "disbanded" afterwards.
Jack didn't make any friends that night.
It started long before that, but that might of been the tipping point for most people and the downfall of him and his stuff.
I didn't like him because of how he treated the study group in community after they were kind to him.
I thought his behavior at Greendale was very poor for a man of his age.
Writing this comment made go me rewatch that episode
His partner specifically called for the Trump shooter...or the next one...to be more accurate next time. That's particularly heinous and disgusting. And as you said OP, when he was on stage Jack laughed it off and made light of it. Then the backlash came and all of a sudden he was sorry and it was unacceptable the band is breaking up...for now. I bet they would have reunited if Kackles won. Either way, too late for most people, we saw your true colors Jack.
I think Jack is probably a lot better than a lot of the celebrities in Hollywood today (except Keanu). He's cool, but I think he's starting to get a bit more immature (especially considering the prank he agreed to pull on Michael Jackson)
He also rescinded his apology like the next day. He is a trash person.
6:02 is basically saying “Stop equating Jews (like me (Jack is Jewish)) for the Israeli Government.” Which many people do (especially the people who found it annoying). To me this is fighting anti-Semitism rather than “an annoying political take.”
It seems like there's a lot of people that are happy to become anti-Semitic in order to be as anti-Israel as it gets.
No, it's largely trying to use the tragedy of the historic persecution of the Jewish people to provide political cover for atrocities Israel has been committing in Palestine since before it was established. If he wanted to condemn violence by both Hamas *and* IDF, while recognising that oppressed people have a right to rebel and the fact Israel has intentionally neutered the PLA and thus made Hamas the only option for armed resistance, and call for people not to equate people of Jewish background with Israel (a problem Israel partly creates itself by proclaiming itself to be a Jewish state, using the diaspora to lobby in other countries and insisting that support for our Jewish neighbours must necessarily mean supporting Israel's actions and policies), he could have done that. It's easy to write. Much easier than the word soup doing mental gymnastics that was shown.
Indeed. I severely dislike Israel's gov and what they do, but I don't mind the average everyday Israeli person.
@@liarwithagun Fair enough, until you consider that these average Israeli citizens have voted for successive governments that refuse to make equitable peace since the assassination of Itzhak Rabin. Pro-peace parties are barely represented in parliament, if at all. And the Israeli military is very much a people's army in that nearly everyone serves. I'm not suggesting being nasty to Israeli citizens is the right thing to do, but at some point responsibility has to rest with the electors. IDF soldiers who were posting photos of themselves wearing dead Palestinian women's dresses and laughing were not Martians, nor were the people liking those photos on social media.
@@liarwithagunan interaction with a random Israeli “citizen” will change that mindset very quickly
As someone who literally works in the autism field. Autism isn’t just being quirky and socially awkward, it’s a deficiency in dynamic skills and decision making. Current research suggests it’s due to the frontal lobe not being connected to the rest of the brain properly and problems with both retaining long term memories and drawing upon them to make judgment about current situations. While the deficiencies can be different (ranging from not being able to pick up on facial expressions and non obvious social questions to the inability to regulate emotions and entering fight or flight over trivial things like losing a board game) they are just that, deficiencies.
While they’re shouldn’t be a stigma around it people need to stop looking at deficiencies with romanticism
yes, people should not romance autism but rather seek to understand it and take it for what it is. It is the same problem society has with everything. We seek to romanticize things we fear due to not understanding them, rather than understanding them. Same with psychopathy, or even race or religion.
Autism gets me banned from social media and TH-cam all the time.
As someone with it, and also been a research subject in MRI tests, you're almost there. If I could describe the true symptoms in relation to how I've had them and know others with wildly different strains of it: It doesn't just affect that part of the brain and it also 'trades' a lot of aspects in order to function that way. however, the one time it has 'evolved' that part of my right frontal lobe had a severe migraine for several days and never again until just a week ago.
- I currently (as of writing this) get automatic temporal amnesia when i draw on my short term memory or try to multitask simultaneous memory tasks such as peddling and balancing a bike. This evolved from an inability to understand social cues. totally different effects but caused from my condtion adapting to how i learned to socialise. In exchange for these 'debuffs' as it were, i find it extremely easy to code and understand complex narritive devices and convoluted puzzles, usually bordering on having enough aptitude to solve them before they've fnished explaining the gimmick or laying out all the pieces.
- My friend however, dealt with severe anger issues, a lack of tone awareness, but now in his 20s, finds he emotes less to the pointt where i have to ask from his monotone deliveries what he's trying to convey. In contrast to that, he finds it easy to write literature and direct cinematography with excellent detail for shots and composition. He tends to notice these aspects too before even considering the content of what he's watching sometimes.
At the end of the day we do still find some interactions vexingly annoying or obtuse, but at that point it's a problem with other people, and 'people' just being irrational illogical beings with strange biases and stranger reasons why they aren't being reasonable at times. Autistic people don't lack the efficacy of using skills and understanding concepts overall, we just trade some in for others, like how a blind man learns to hear or touch better or an amputee person gains better dexterity in their remaining limb(s).
Can someone develop autism if they weren't born with it?
I have some social deficiencies but the way my mind remembers data sets and analyses things/situations has been a blessing in many ways as a music producer and engineer, I’m not ‘severely’ autistic, I’m probably closer to someone with Asperger’s, but I was diagnosed at around 12 and the biggest issues I’ve faced personally is other people’s pre judgement rather than my issues myself of which I’ve simply learnt to more or less overcome myself now I’m a 22 yo adult, I know it’s different for others on the spectrum but saying it’s always more bad than good isn’t technically true, I’ve met so many gifted autistics in my life, you’d be surprised how well adjusted and talented some of them are
Having a brother with autism, i'm so f disgusted with these self diagnosed people who does it because they are just socially awkward people who are doing it for attention.
People can say that about your brother. No body knows everybody else’s reality dick
Same boat, I have an autistic brother myself too. Those attention seeking nutcase are the reason why it is so hard to help actual autistic people in the first place. Don't give a damn what they say, they are always full of shit.

The problem with it is that we currently see it as a spectrum. Severe debilitating autism bears no resemblance to very mild autism.
In all honesty, if a celebrity made the same joke about Biden or Harris as Kyle did about Trump, leftists would have a total meltdown.
But because it was about Trump, everyone said it wasn't a big deal and that the outrage was a "overreaction".
Sure, because nobody made fun about Biden or insulted him, and Trump does not get away with shit that no other politician could ever say - the problem is for sure the "leftists".
You don't have a lot of real leftists in the US. The Dems are not left. The divide in the US is not left-right politics.

I work in a clinic for autistic children. We have therapies aimed at making those children learn how to communicate, go to the bathroom alone, go to school and have a normal life. Essentialy, making their autism seem unnoticeable to others. I don't understand why is that controversial or hateful? There are autistic children who can't really communicate at all if something happens to them, if they get lost in the streets, they cannot tell you how to find their mothers, what their name is. Not wanting to 'cure' autism means making these people vulnerable, and it's also burdensome to the parents.
The problem is that the general public never hears about the majority autistic people. They only see and hear from those who have the most verbal skills, who can post online and complain about others trying to change them. So there is this impression that autism is just about people who think a little bit different. They think they can speak for everyone with autism. Maybe THEY don't need therapy, but millions of others do. Maybe THEY are happy the way they are, but millions of others are suffering.
People get mad because curing someone means they are sick, and rightfully so. Being neurologicly wired different isnt a sickness. Proclaiming having autism is being sick only adds to the feeling of not being accepted. They should properly call it like something like managing the symptons or learning to live with it.
@ autism has no cure, as you mentioned, the symptons can be managed/masked. We use the term 'erasing the cognitive delays' (english is not my first language so i don't know if it's accurately translated).
Yeah, ive worked with some special needs individuals and the varied nature of their needs is wild. Some kids cant stop drooling but are utterly brilliant and pretty clever (people underestimate them). Others, look completely normal at first glance but have serious issues with basic things. Thats why research and care for these people are incredibly important. I still remember one kid in particular who opened my eyes to how black/white I was viewing his situation, and I wish more people had the opportunity to serve individuals like this. The biggest issue is society and short attention span culture has tried to make autism a luxury belief. As if they have it, it gives them some kind advantage? we live in a messed up world. Same issue with OCD and ADD etc, there are a lot of peopl who actually ahve it and deal with it daily, and now everyone is being labeled it, its damaging to those that do have it.
@ Okay ye better than calling it a cure yea. But then still even when they learn to manage it the symptons and overwheling experience are still there, its just that they learn to deal with it, if pushed too much it has high probabillity for burnout.
I'm an autist. The condition is generally seen as a negative thing, because it generally is. I have a hard time understanding why people take offense to a research team trying to prevent and remove it.
You might say that some people are fine with their condition and are able to live relatively normal lives. To then treat them as having a mental illness seems odd.
But it is not about the cases where people can function fine. It is called a mental illness as a generalization.
The problem with Autism Speaks is that they promote highly harmful "treatments" and don't treat autistic people like functional human beings.
Also autistic here. Its no different to being born left handed, double jointed, being born gay, with green eyes etc.
We cant help being the way we are, its just something we have to accept. the things i mentioned you can't just cure either.

I was diagnosed with autism when I was a toddler. I was selectively mute, couldn't handle loud noises, and I felt emotions 10x stronger then a normal person. It's hell, and it always has been. I grew up in Canada, which made it a lot worse- considering their disability assistance is god awful.
My relationship with my issues has only gotten worse now that people have "romanticized" it so much. I don't tell people I have it- and I hate when I accidentally do. It ties me with the people who think it's cute. It's not. And "stimming" is not cute, either. I do it when I'm so overwhelmed with an emotion that I have to physically shake. When I get too upset- I have to physically stop myself from wailing around and breaking things because my emotions are just so overwhelming and powerful. I'm an adult woman- not a fucking toddler.
Even feeling too happy can make me throw up. I hate the people who think autism is a personality trait.
Now! I don't like Autism Speaks because they rejected help for my family. In fact, if I recall, they don't do much helping- mostly lobbying, fundraising, and "spreading awareness" or some shit. The only reason I was able to start speaking was because of local assistance from people who actually gave a shit.
@shibainu8062 exactly. Don't you think you have the right to mitigate all those problems if there is even a cure, a slight chance, to take it all away, and for once be "normal". Don't get me wrong. Everything you said I never felt it, and I don't really want to be like that. And all I can think and feel for someone as that is to get better and have it all you deserve. Peace, quiet and tranquility. Without all those problems.

When I was a kid, it was only 1 in 10,000 were born with autism, now it's 1 in 4. That is a problem that needs a cure
Diagnosed* we just didn't clinically analyse personalities years ago. I do think schooling has reduced the social ability of some children below the threshold, however.
It's not a problem. Having it isn't a net negative. It's a wide spectrum and actually has benefits. You can't cure something that doesn't need a cure.
@mandowarrior123 going from 1 in 10,000 to 2,500 in 10,000 increase or so isn't justified by just diagnostic standards becoming more nuanced. Sure, that is part of it, but I doubt that accounts for the extra 2,499 people wince the 50s.

I have Asperger's Syndrome. I cannot speak for everyone under the Autism spectrum but the reason why I dislike Autism Speaks is because I find them ineffective with helping autistic people.

I have Asperger. It’s not a disease. Our brains work differently that doesn’t make it a disease and that’s what I have problems with. Given the pros and contras it feels more like an advanced version of the brain who still needs to incorporate its social points. For me I my brain works faster and more efficient then 99% I’ve met. It’s evolution not an illness you need to get rid off. We need more understanding for the spectrum not a cure for an efficient working brain. People without autism are disabled in many ways autistic people are not. Disabled against what is perceived as “right” and “in general” doesn’t make it true. I have high emotionial intelligence and mathematical. You don’t have to cure it you have to help them in their disabled areas just like every other person

As a psychologist i find it appalling that so many people think that autism cannot be helped, its insane. There are so many things that can be done, not a cure FOR SURE, but i have seen so many people with autism livibg their life comfortably while having great social interactions. We need more psychological awareness
I worke with mentally handicapped people all over the spectrum and indeed there can be A LOT of improvement. Some improvement is even linked with inflamation in the brain and simple physical exercise can help. The isnt a real "cure" but trust me I know parents that would give anything they have for some improvement in their child.
If you understood anything about Autism Speaks you would see the problem. No one has an issue with researching autism and how to cure it. AS spreads medical missinformation and tries to push harmful 'treatments'. They mistreat people with autism.
I mean its pretty hilarious how everyone is claiming autism right now though... especially these late diagnosed autism cases. Almost like we're just renaming people with extensive trauma and dysfunctional relationship skills with the label of autism. That way we can put the autism bandaid right over their dysfunction, not have to make any effort to help themselves, and to excuse their weirdness. Heck having autism is now a victim badge and we know how much everyone longs to be a victim today... 🙄
i've had many autistic friends i have a friend and we literally socialized him like a child he was one of the oldest in our friend group by 10 years
we'd take him out to get him used to social situations so that eventually without our help he can be a viable member of society. it works, it's not like autistic people are broken and can't learn you just have to have a gentler and more guided hand with them usually. but that might not be what you're talking about you said helped but AS wants to CURE it get rid of the whole thing which sounds awful i wouldn't consider any of my autistic friends in need of CURING what ever that would entail.

@@mcrekkrIt's short for 'Trump Derangement Syndrome', a joking and derogatory term for people who are unable to not think about and complain about Trump, no matter what he does.
@@mcrekkr "Trump Derangement Syndrome", a quasi-real mental condition where a person who is otherwise sane seems to lose significant mental faculties when it concerns American politics, and more specifically, the current President. I say quasi-real because while it is not in the DSM (the big book of mental illnesses taught at universities), it is actually detectable and testable, and is more or less a permutation of Windmill Disease (the belief that windmills will cause illness somehow, and the stress from believing this actually will cause illness in the person if they get near windmills, they get so stuck in the paranoia inside their own heads that their mental and physical condition changes).
Notably, Mr. Black has not been diagnosed with any forms of Windmill Disease or Paranoia ailments, let alone TDS in particular, but "TDS", like "psycho" for an amoral or mean person, or "retard" for a dumb or ill-educated person, is often bandied about and labelled on people who loosely resemble the condition while not actually having it.

I understand the attitude "Autism isn't a disease" but the idea that trying to figure out if it is a disease is a bad thing is nuts. If it turns out autism isn't something that can be prevented or cured then so be it but why the fuck would we not even try to figure out if that's true? (I am autistic btw. I promise you... If someone said "hey you can get this shot and be normal" I'd be first in line)

Neuroscience nerd here (focus on mental and behavioral health, particularly with autistic people and schizophrenia, and addiction as well). You can't exactly "rewire" the brain with autism. Yes, you can apply things like speech therapy, behavioral therapy and occupational therapy, but that does not "remove/take away" how the brain is "wired." Additionally, there is no specific medication for autism. You can take meds to manage symptoms to help with health issues that usually present in autistic people, such as anxiety, digestive and pain issues, etc.. With therapy though, you can learn to manage symptoms, however, that doesn't mean autism isn't there (even if you are great at what you do and aren't otherwise bothered). When symptoms are managed through medications, therapies, even exercise, and they aren't causing distress and are improving, it's usually called being in remission. (Not in remission from autism, just to be clear.)
One example is that speech and communication are some of the most common things people notice. My son and I are autistic but we have different communication patterns. I have a special interest in communication and foreign languages and science outreach (I've chaired events and held speeches as couple examples, and I've done a ton of volunteer work over the last 5 years in these communities).
My son on the other hand is a "Gestalt language processor," basically he learned by mimicking and talking in scripts rather than forming his own sentences and he has to use a speech tablet. He will freeze up and go mute sometimes if the communications is overwhelming. He'll eventually be able to form his own sentences and hopefully won't be as overwhelmed, but I'm using that as a simple example to explain that even down to language, the brain gets "wired" in certain ways that aren't "removed," rather we can learn to work around them.
I'm very good with socializing and other subjects that don't live up to autistic stereotypes. Unfortunately I've seen both autism and schizophrenia romanticized and it's just pretty gross.
One last example is just like with schizophrenia, you can't get rid of it. I hope we can one day get rid of it or have way better treatment plans. The best we can do is medication (sadly it doesn't work for everyone) and different therapies (also not guaranteed to work). You can learn to manage it and go unnoticed in symptoms, but that doesn't mean it went away.
I'm also schizoaffective (on the schizophrenia spectrum) and it's not uncommon for both spectrums to cross each other, which makes treating autism and schizophrenia even more difficult.
Then we get to touch other subjects. Laws and regulations, lifestyle, how hard it is to get help, and the shady stuff psychwards do to their patients. Those are more conversations for another day.
((Hopefully this was a wee bit informative!))

We know it's not currently possible to essentially remodel and rewire your brain.
But some people out there want to see a future where such becomes no longer a realm of wishful thinking but a reality.
I know such a scenario will bring about a whole host of other philosophical and arguably greater dilemmas, like what is ones identity if everyone can rewire their brain and personality at a whim, but it's the trade-off I can only see us having to take, if we want to make an as moral decision as possible about how to move forward. Not striving for a cure, or even worse, not wishing it on anyone is equally morally bankrupt and screwed up as wishing autism to be eradicated all entirely.
Give people like us (or our kids) a future where we have the option to choose whether or not they want neurological disorders to be a part of their lives.
It is really the only right thing to do.
And this is my theory, but I'm certain that some cases may not actually be autism, but simply brain damage.

IDK if this works in all cases but my mom contracted meningitis when she was in her early 20 a while before I was born. she survived it but lost all her functions like talking, walking, etc. She was basically factory reset with breathing as the only working function.

Except that Kyle Gass immediately deleted that "apology" sooo it was meaningless
It's a lose lose situation, write it and people will boo you for writing it and think you are insincere, delete it and you are insincere, people have made up their mind by this point and there's just no backing out of it, overall for the sake of collective memory, it is better on a personal level to delete the message than to keep it.
You can't really gather meaning from it either which way, you have your view and you stick with that view. I personally agree that I don't really believe that he meant the apology, at least on some level, but I also do not think that we can draw conclusions based on him deleting the tweet, or even writing it to begin with.

As an actually diagnosed autist, I very much welcome people doing research into how to prevent it. Autism makes life much harder. I get so sick and tired of all these people claiming to be autistic because they self isolate themselves from the outside world and never learnt how to communicate properly. I am autistic and I have worked my ass off to learn how to communicate effectively, so that I can survive in modern society.
Surviving is for 24 hours.
Me too
I can find somebody to diagnose me with whatever I want. Just find someone new until you get it, doesnt mean much.

Correct every angsty teen wants autism as an excuse for their lack of social interaction and etiquette. Worse yet most of them have no idea how debilitating autism can be especially low functioning autism.
It just shows you don't understand what autism is, particularly when you call it an illness. Being autistic tends to come with other symptoms, yes.
Being white increases your risk of sun burn and skin cancer. Is being white an illness too?
It’s not that as its related to the mind, it’s is them. It’s not like they have a bad controller or something or it is inhibiting them. A cure would not “free” them, it would be more like changing them, it’s like conversion therapy. Their autism isn’t something tacked on to them, it just is for them.
Autism Speaks is like PETA whenever you look into them and what they actually do, vs what they claim to do though. That's why people don't like them.
Remember that movie Idiocracy.... lmaooo
As someone who is on the autism spectrum (professionally diagnosed, not self diagnosed) I can confirm there are aspects of it that really get in the way of basic functioning that I wouldn't wish on anyone. While there are other issues with Autism Speaks the idea of trying to find a cure/treatment/whatever is not one of them.
Injecting politics into entertainment on the other hand is just obnoxious.
I agree, as someone also on the autism spectrum, I've been corrected a lot of times when I called Autism a mental illness, and I have no clue how I could be wrong. Some people have their life heavily impaired by autism, I am lucky to only have some problems with it, but even those already annoy me.
@@dantereinhardt6911I think cause mental illness is usually seen as a delusion, like transgenderism. I imagine that it’s more environmental. When I was a kid the majority of autistics were all the same, the children of those in Silicon Valley. It went from 1 in 10000 to 1 in 36. I’d guess it’s something like microplastics since they’ve found those in a newborn and it concentrates in the brain, breast and testicles
Depends who you talk to. Asking autistic people, I said in the hypothetical if a cure for autism existed, would they take it? Some I've spoken to said they absolutely would and they believe it would make their life easier. Others said they considered it part of their personality or sense of self and were far more hesitant to say that they would, because they believe it would change who they were as a person, even if they did not like certain aspects about autism.
I'm autism too - this is true, and frankly a great example of this is the Elon Nazi salute. That stuff REALLY bothers people and for me personally Elon never bothered me because I can spot 'em a mile away - he DEFINITELY has it. Doing something stupid like a Seig Heil on a world stage just because you're goofy and have little understanding over how people see you is high functioning autism 101.
Finding a cure and treating it like a disease is not possible. We could probably prevent it from occurring which is okay, but we shouldn't be treating it like a disease.
My son is autistic. He's 21. He has a beautiful brain and is truly the source of so much of my joy. However... he, at 21, needs total assistance with most adls, including toileting. He will probably never live independently, drive a car, or even go to the food store by himself. The smallest change in his schedule sends him into a total meltdown that can last all day. It drives me insane when people who have mildly autistic, self diagnosed tics represent it as no big deal. You can only do so much nerfing- the world is just not set up for people like my son. Like every other issue that has captured society, many things can be true at once. I love and accept my son unconditionally, but I can also acknowledge that his life is much harder than a "typical" child. There's nothing wrong with an advocacy group supporting treatment research.
Many people do not have the ability to hold two different truths at the same time.
Really a good comment.
The problem with a full "cure" which would have to tamper with neurobiological structures, is that there wouldn't be a guarantee on how an autistic person would turn out after said tampering. They might need a tonne of help to do even basic things as an autistic person, and that's bad, and if a cure could get rid of those needs while preserving the autistic person's personality, then that'd be awesome - but also very likely impossible.
A sweet autistic person being cured, they could go from being sweet, to being a terrible person. That's what holds me back from wanting a cure for myself. If I could cure the worst aspects, while maintaining who I am as a person, I'd want that. If a cure means that I no longer value the things I value, and if there's a chance that I could become a terrible person that harms people, then...I don't want that.
God bless both of you.
the advocacy group in question hates your son, though. that's the real issue. they are not a good org, there are far better ones.
That's not what they are. They exclude autistic input in their research and have even lobbied to prevent autistic input from being allowed. They also promote "therapies" proven to be ineffective and abusive. They're not an "advocacy group supporting treatment research".
As a father of a 23 year old non-verbal autistic adult, most of ya'll have NO IDEA what it's like. All of these people that say, "Oh yea, I'm austistic too!" No, no you aren't. I'm sorry but my son and you are not the same. You didn't smear your feces on the walls when you were younger, nor did you try to eat drywall after you've picked at it to get to the drywall. Sorry, not sorry. I am 100% for trying to find out why the brain is wired that way, and I will continue to support any organization that does so.
It's a spectrum. You think they don't have it because you disregard the fact that it's a spectrum. Most people on the spectrum do not smear feces nor eat drywall, and your experience with your son isn't reflective of the spectrum as a whole. Sorry, not sorry.
Asmon, a big part of the reason they cancelled the tour was insurance related. After he made that assassination joke, no inaurance company was willing to insure the venues if their tour came there. So they basically were forced to cancel.
Like I think that JB's joke was in very poor taste but like at the same time - it's nothing I'd crucify JB over. At least he didn't do a Destiny where he said he was glad that innocent people got shot. When you understand JB and Tenacious D's whole background is counter culture - but it's counter culture in a bubble, JB thinks saying that about Trump is sticking it to the establishment without realizing they're the establishment now. So to me it's freedom of expression I'd by a hypocrite if I wanted to cancel him over it. Ask for JB taking bum parts in bad movies that's just a given.
When someone says: "Don't miss next time." that's kind of concerning, maybe it's not technically a threat or w/e, but it's still a window into the desires of the person who made the comment nonetheless.

I ain't a censorship kind of guy, but publicly going out there and making those kinds of comments is harmful and could reinforce extremist thinking.
Or. It could be truly considered as gay. No confusion
on the flip side, these people live in echo chambers of like-minded peers and the thought that people with opposing views exists that wouldn't find the joke funny doesn't actually crosses their minds fast enough in an improve situation, we likely say similar or worst things among friends
but yeah, calls to action is a poor taste of humor regardless

I’m not too familiar with the charity, but in my eyes the “Autism doesn’t need a cure” argument is privileged. I’ve got a tad of diagnosed autism. I’m just not great socially and know too much about legos and transformers. I can pretty much circumvent the negative affects just through learning about how to act in social situations. I wouldn’t want a cure. But I’ve worked with people who are borderline nonverbal, who can never have a normal job, who miss out on massive amounts of life due to their ASD. Acting like they’re perfectly fine and something that could help them speak and have a normal life is bad is awful to me. ASD IS A DISORDER, and all the people who have just a bit of it (or were overdiagnosed and don’t have it) acting like “well all it means for me is I’m socially awkward and like trains so I think a cure is bad” disgust me.

The main reason a cure is bad is because the cure would not be like clearing a mental fog it would be literally changing how you or those borderline non-verbal people would naturally think, it’s much closer, if not is, to just changing a person at their core (core being the mental). That is what “re-wiring” is.

@@SuperLifestream Which is... While not fine, it's "fine". You're entitled to being an edgelord little schisse in the privacy of your own home, or hidden away in a break room with only two people present. But you have a private-facing persona and a public-facing persona, and that isn't being two-faced, its just being a functioning member of society. You get naked and mate with your wife in private, but you don't do that in the middle of Time Square. That's not duplicity, it's common sense.
Kyle had no common sense. He went up and effectively said "I have my dick out when I'm in my bedroom, clearly I should whip my dick out on stage too!", and people weren't much fans of that. Share it with your significant other, but don't bring it up on a paid stage, especially if someone else more or less made that stage and audience for you.
Jack Black likely also endorsed senseless murder of innocents, just like Kyle, privately between them. Sure. Which makes him a bad person, objectively speaking. But he didn't bring it up in front of a massive audience, Kyle did. His denunciation makes sense.
@@SuperLifestream To be totally, 100% fair, there's a massive difference between what we think is okay to say in private when with buddies, and what we think is okay to say live on-stage in front of throngs of strangers and on camera.

@ScrambledandBenedict That is actually very fair, and it is also very easy to allow a longtime friend to get away with saying something trite in public. Or just not reacting fast enough or feeling it is necessary to say something for or against them.
My friend rewired his son he started at a very young age, for one reason and one reason alone.
"I'm not going to be here his whole life to make sure he's okay and can take care of himself."
"He is going to hate me, I will be one of his greatest inconveniences"
"I never hurt him, but he needed to communicate with me, he needed to speak, he needed to express his needs I put him in situations where he would be forced to talk to me, forced to learn words, and forced to think critically for what's in his best interest"
This in turn gave me the ability to teach him everything that no one else would provide him as he grew, I only needed to connect a few of the dots (wires) in his head and now 20 years later he has his own home, goes to work, and is an adult that doesn't need me.
I'm a father that has a son who won't fall apart when I'm gone, because I gave him my best.
That's called parenting, more people should do that.
It's insane to me that the internet's stance on autism is literally that south park episode where cartman pretends to have Tourettes and goes off about how awesome it is to a kid that actually has it, who's like "No.. It's awful."
They literally think "Autism makes you so quirky and funny, and you're so engaged by your favorite characters, it makes you so interesting" meanwhile if you've spent time with someone who has autism, even if it isn't severe, you can tell how much it affects their lives negatively and especially potential friendships or relationships.
TikTok tried to do the same with other conditions like Bipolar or BPD, but it didn't stick because it's harder to get diagnosed with them and they're mostly always very severe.
no, they dont "literally" think that, its a comedy cartoon for Adults, people who should not be influenced by a cartoon and if they are, its on them
It's insane to me that you are trying to make that episode seem like a bad representation of autism when they weren't even doing an episode about autism Cartman was pretending to have tourettes syndrome they are completely different things
Pretty much hit the nail on the head.. Sadly, it is like those who have replied already... your point will go on mostly unnoticed by the majority.
The real problem is almost every single person has some form or multiple bias' that we were taught somewhere. Those very bias views are holding us back from being the best people we can be.
We all have a pair of invisible shades over our eyes blinding us from the things we really need to see and understand. Our world needs true patience, real compassion and some serious effort to get us all working with eachother instead of against eachother.
The work can only be done individually, I can only contribute through me, you through you let's reach the goal together.
its insane that you dont seem to understand what people are saying on the internet then. no one in the autistic community is saying that there is not issues and roadblocks we encounter in "normal" society. But let me ask you this, do you know the difference between driving an Automatic vehicle and driving a Manual Vehicle? thats Normal brains vs Autistic/adhd brains. If you try to drive the Manual like an Automatic you can easily damage the manual beyond repair, and yes the Automatic is relatively easier... But have you ever seen an Automatic Race Car? You realize that the Solution that places like Autism speaks would wish to apply to all of us is that we all become Automatics. No chance of being a broken mess, but no chance at being a Race Car either. The actual answer, in which the Autistic community has been screaming at you for decades is that we dont need to learn how to drive automatic, we need to learn how to drive manual, we need to be given the opportunity to become the race cars we can be.
if all that race car analogy went over your head, go look up the absurdly skewed ratio of Artistic talents and the arrangement of A-typical 'mental disorders' like autism, adhd, bi-polar, etc. now go look at the same for entrepreneurial work loads, and see how many huge companies that had a single person at the helm also had that person be Autistic / ADHD.
Autistic People dont need our Manuals turned into Automatics, we just need to be allowed to learn how to drive our Manuals.
Autism covers a gigantic range but there are definitely autistic people who should be cured if a treatment was available, as they are often miserable and dependent on others for their entire lives.
Autism can be far far more than social awkwardness. It can include physical impairments that hinder survival.
Yes, there are some very successful autistic people, but most truly autistic people would be better off without it.
Unfortunately the term has been watered down by self diagnosis - attention seekers who crave the benefits without ever having the hardships of it.

I love how wanting to cure autism is eugenics but getting an abortion because your poor is completely acceptable.
You act like they're only allowed to be mutually exclusive opinions.
One is a moral issue. The other is a difference in brain development, and society expecting these people to conform to societal expectations.
You're also making the mistake of looking at a small subset of the population as indicative of the logic behind this. We can all agree the clowns on social media are clowns. But that doesn't mean that trying to cure ADHD or Autism isn't Eugenics.
These brain differences exist for an evolutionary purpose, societal purpose. We would not have an estimated 15-25% of the population as Neurodivergent if it was just an abnormal way for the brain to develop. This "Cure" for autism, is an implication that they're somehow bad, broken, and in need of fixing to be more neurotypical. Rather than society just accepting that they're different and helping support those differences.

Or...you don't understand evolution, in that it doesn't serve ANY purpose. It's a semi-random distribution of traits that survive evolutionary filters. Doesn't mean it serves a "purpose". And society has eliminated a lot of previous filters.

My son is autistic and was nonverbal until 5yo. He was very timid and introverted. We started him in ABA and Speech therapy at the age of 3. By 4 he was grunting and making noises, and by 5yo he was starting to say actual words. He is now 8yo and still in therapy and goes 3 times a week. Now, not only does he speak well, and have no problem communicating (He won't ever stop talking now and I am so thankful), but he has become extremely outgoing. He loves playing with other kids and meeting and being around new people. He still has room for growth and improvement but has been completely rewired by continued therapy and special care. He still stems by flapping his hand and dancing on his tiptoes, but he is pretty much a normal kid now and will only improve. We have made so many sacrifices to get him where he is, and we will continue to sacrifice to help him become the best version of himself. I truly believe one day we will be able to treat autism in the brain at a neurological level.

Please do give me ure address or a name, so I might call the asylum and cpr on u
My autistic son is 5 and is a lot like it sounds your son used to be. I am so grateful you shared your story because it gives me hope for him. Thank you! 😊
My son also has autism and will be 19 this year. What you described sounds a lot like how he was when he was little. We had him in speech therapy in school and he got tutored every summer until 6th grade. We paid his PA from school to tutor him every summer. This helped make a drastic improvement in him. The other thing that was suggested was a high protein diet. He wasn't as a much of a meat eater when he was younger ( teacher called me to tell me he took all the ham off his sandwiches at lunch and just ate the bread and cheese). So he got peanut butter and honey instead.
I'd say my son is mostly normal . The biggest thing that will make his freeze up is anyone being angry or raising their voice. His sisters drive him nuts because they are loud so he will just go to his room. His mannerisms are what mostly gives it away that he has autism. He talks fine and understands things. I think having the high level of focus and teaching during his early years made the biggest difference. I would suggest that if you have the ability to. His sister didn't help with the speech when he was younger because she would talk for him and "translate" what he wanted ( they are 2 years apart).
@syoung4471 My son has been in ABA and speech therapy since he was 3, and he still attends 3 times a week. It's wild that you mentioned something about a high protein diet. My son has milk and egg allergies, so his diet is limited and consists of 90% protein and multivitamins. He eats more grams of protein a day than his weight in lbs. I also supplement him with Nascent Iodine every day as well.
When I was younger, I had a speech impediment caused by falling face first onto glass and shattering all my baby teeth.
I went to speech therapy.
What's interesting is that they taught me how to reform words using different parts of my mouth and take the extra time to enunciate clearly, how to use various physical and mental tricks (such as how we engage a different part of our brain when singing vs talking, and how to breathe in a way that gives me better volume control and resonance), even introduced me to synonyms for common "tricky" words for people with lisps that I could fall back upon under stress (ironically, "lisp" is still one of the few words I struggle with, and I know a girl with a stutter who literally can't *say* "stutter", proving that whoever named these things was a bit of a dick), and generally did everything in their power to fix me after I broke my mouth.
What they didn't do was teach me to teach society that lisps are a perfectly natural alternative method of early speech development and they need to practice listening better and check their tongue-to-tooth palette privilege at the door. If I'd gone to school even a decade or two later, they'd have probably left me completely unable to verbally communicate or otherwise engage in common functions in life, and then patted themselves on the back for fixing the REAL problem, bigotry and intolerance towards fiffu fhu fpifh fif fifh.
Allegory for all the slower folks in the back who think that "curing" an ailment or illness is the same as "erasing" that person's lived experience.
Jack Black joined in on the "every modern movie needing to flop" club so he tanked Minecraft
He's the hero we needed not the hero we wanted
KFP 4 is a flop despite being a hit in box office $$$. That would've been the sign of decline, too.
Whats wrong with wanting to cure Autism?
I have autism and I WISH there was a cure. Enough of the woke bs.
Autism is not something you catch, like herpes or the flu
Finding ways to live with it (which we already have), instead of trying to find a cure for a syndrom we know basicaly very little
How did the cure for virus 19 go? Badly? Why would this "cure" be different?
@@eowade9211why not do both?
To at least give the option to those seeking it
@ Dude, we don't even fully understand autism, and you want to find a cure for something you don't even understand in the first place?
In make-believe land, maybe
But from the planet i'm in, it's easier and more effective to give glasses to everyone needing it, instead on planning laser-surgeries for everyone
Do you wish you were dead? It's a genetic thing, the "cure" you speak of is eugenics, if you get your wish, you would not exist.
7:00 => BASED DADSMONGOLD!!
@@MomeGnome I quoted the zone where he talks, but I was speaking about what he said generally. That said, it wasn't clear on my comment.
I agree that the "using only a part of our brain" is misleading, because we are using some parts at a time, but the moment we look at the full extent of the shit we do, then the brain gets used at max cap.
Dadsmongold and this "sunnyv2" narration are unbearable.
0:38 his “character” is a lovable guy
People got mad at him because his friend joked about Trump assassination atempt on a show
I think it's because he didnt disaprove it untill everyone was on his tail.
And didn’t he laugh then do nothing to separate himself from it?
No they got mad at him for clearly laughing and enjoying the joke at the time then taking it back like a spineless little bitch if you’re gonna go that far you don’t pvssy out especially when its clear af you’re only doing it because you don’t want to miss out on money
He was there and didn't call him on it, so it blew up.
Id say that was the true beginning of his downfall
@@forbbzz it’s because he clearly enjoyed it until he realized it affected his cash flow he’s a spineless sellout
I dont have autism, but i do have tourettes. I recieved behavioral therapy from a pediatric neurologist for more than a decade as a child. As a child, my tourettes were almost out of control, but now as an adult, theyre nearly imperceptible. It does work. Incredibly hard
You can teach someone with autism to "fit in." The best advice to give someone with autism is to treat socialization like it is their occupation. Eventually, they'll be able to control their anxiety but just like a muscle, they have to keep using it in practice or they'll lose the skill.
Ye, you can’t cure it tho. Like you will never be able to cure your turettes you can keep it under control.
@@supremesenpai8932 yeah and I looked into autism speaks and it seems like behavioral therapy is mostly what they promote and work in. I've copied their mission statement. Quote, "Autism Speaks is dedicated to creating an inclusive world for all individuals with autism throughout their lifespan. We do this through advocacy, services, supports, research and innovation, and advances in care for autistic individuals and their families."
So to say they just want to cure it is intellectually dishonest. I don't really see anything wrong with this organization
I also have courgettes, I'm also dislekic
@@supremesenpai8932 You can't cure a missing leg either, but you can still learn to walk with the aid of technology. The person who knows how to function with the debilitation is still fundamentally a different person that one who cannot. I'm sure if you plucked someone out of ancient times and showed them what we're capable of doing to help the condition, they'd call it a cure.
Typically love your content, but an individual with autism, and as a mother to a child with autism, NO. There is no cure. It is a genetic neurological defect. Autism speaks treats people like lab rats and cash grabs. Autism speaks was supposed to provide resources to families for therapies, and equipment that insurance wouldn’t cover. Families rarely received this help. Austin’s speaks also promoted that people with autism have childlike minds, when that is very far from the truth. They focused on the very severe end of the spectrum, while the majority of individuals with autism were left without essential resources and studies.
Furthermore, there is no rewiring. What ABA therapist DONT see if what happens when therapy is over and their masking techniques are finally dropped. It is EXHAUSTING as an individual with autism to have to MANUALLY react to situations nuerotypical people would react to without thought. We do double the work for the sake of society, instead of augmenting society to work for a very large portion of it.
You lose a lot of credibility in this home for this. All it would take is a conversation with someone with autism to understand…
My dad is highly functional and autistic and my 3 year old is more mature than he is in many ways. It's certainly 'childlike' though he certainly isn't a child. So you're being uncharitable there.
However i'm skeptical of all non profits. They rarely come close to helping people, any of them.
7:50 im with dad on this. Since cbt i haven't had an episode of ptsd in almost 3 years. Not autism, but there's no "cure" for ptsd either
Cock and ball torture?
Just get over it bro
I'm sorry but I can't not read CBT as Сосk and ВаII Тоrturе
What cock and bell torture does to a mf
@@jdmhbeats lol
The problem with Autism Speaks is that it has a long history of trying to give parents a fearful view of their autistic child, touting that the only solution is getting rid of the autism, when at the current era we live in, the more important thing to know for parents is how to accommodate their child, not using experimental treatment to try to 'cure' autism. Most autistic people can become very functional and self-sufficient if given the right tools when their young.
asmon L for not researching them before basically promoting them and causing further harm
autism speaks dont even do any meaningful research either, its just a charity that makes money from ignorant people
Yes. Those creepy commercials saying "I will destroy your family" and such were terrible.
@colleenmcbride3656 yes, exactly.
Jack Black laughed hysterically when his partner wished death upon Trump. He was deported from Australia for it and I'll never support another movie by him. A complete schill, only a cowardly one. He doesn't deserve my support and you should rethink the type of people you support as well.
Jokes at a comedy show got you so upset haha. Oh no someone said something about Trump, doubt Trump even gives a sht.
Jack Black lost all credibility last year……
Anyone remember a comedian named Dave Atell? He had a show on comedy central called Insomniac back in the 2000's. He would make people's heads explode these days.
He's still hilarious
