- “Pseudosceintific critters” are parasites that consume the resources of the unprepared. Although they have adapted camflauge to appear as scientific evidence-based practice, they can be detected by those who know the signs. In this TEDx Talk, learn how to spot Science’s arch nemesis, Pseudoscience! Based on observations from the field of autism education and treatment, this talk challenges viewers to identify logical fallacies and magical thinking in their own life by examining examples of pseudoscientific products from the past and present. Dr. Russell Lang is the Executive Director of the Clinic for Autism Research, Evaluation and Support (CARES) at Texas State University. He has authored numerous books and over a 150 scientific peer-reviewed articles. This research focuses on the identification of evidence-based practices for the education and treatment of people with neurodevelopmental disorders. He is the recipient of Texas State University’s Presidential Award for Excellence in Research and the Association of Positive Behavioral Supports Ted Carr Initital Research Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This type of talk should be done on both sides of the aisle not just what is obvious.
Amazing talk, Dr. Lang! Thank you for your contributions to autism treatment, protecting those we care about.
When you are open to magic, you are the perfect target for those selling magic.
Pseudo science is everywhere these days, specially in the trend of spirituality. They have taken it to another level. Wishful thinking.🥴🥴
Ahhh
Especially with "Big Pharma" conspiracy nonsense which nauseating me
Yes i feel cringed to people who accused it with "pSeUdOsCiEnCe" term, why you only rely on the science that's in the mainstream side which is not 100% revealed, why don't you be CREATIVE, because creativity brings the idea, just like lightbulb by thomas a. edison, its all hypothesis until they can proof it, just like UFO or alien, after that you can just win the nobel prize. Dig down the ancient technology that has been existed for over 1 million years, time doesn't exist because all event happened in the same time. "Time is but stubborn illusion." - Albert Einstein. "The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence." - Nikola Tesla The Greatest Ascended Master of All Time.

That’s my professor and he’s awesome!!

Yes, he is!!!
Great talk really! But... "pseudo" comes from Latin? Greek would like to have a talk with you... "Ψεύδος" didn't really look Latin to me
The SpongeBob voice was superior. Well done.
I wish Joe Rogan would have this doctor on his podcast
Flat Earth Society: "we have members around the globe!"
I lol-ed... XD
Great video. Thank you for posting. I work with individuals with ASD and one of the parents of my client asked about weighted blankets as a therapy. I typed in the TH-cam search "autism and pseudoscience" and this talk came up. It is very helpful.
Weighted blankets help me and i have add/adhd - but idk if they would help people with ASD
Hey there, I have aspergers/autism and I hate weighted blankets. They make me feel like I'm in a straight jacket. On the other hand, my mother who is also autistic loves them. I think it's down to personal preference more than anything.
Lack of scientific studies does not make something false. It’s important to understand what motivates what we do and do not study, including the ability to streamline studies for certain things. Effective treatments may also be harmful when used inappropriately. Evidence based practice is not the end all be all, and has certainly not favored somatic approaches.

Very interesting video. It brought to mind trump's constant repeating of "everyone knows" whatever he is lying about to be true. I do believe that the notion that if 'everyone' believes something, then there must be some validity to that something. Some of us have never considered popularity of a belief to be the proof of the validity of that belief and I think Dr Lang explains that very well.
I typed in safety and effectiveness of vaccines and it brought me here to pseudoscience
Sounds like covid ate holes in your unvaxed little brain of yours.
@@pardonmyfrench4760 looks like the pro vax propaganda ate holes in your version of what science really is.
@@midnightalley4586 f outta here talking about science like you understand it. You and your little group of conspiracy theorists need to take off the tin foil hats, get out of your parent's basement and get in touch with reality.
@@pardonmyfrench4760 you cant beat me in a debate. Im smarter than you. Care to try?
@@midnightalley4586 Everyone has Google search, get over yourself. Sorry your life is so meaningless that you have to take to trying to impress complete strangers online with your access to Wikipedia. I'd hate to be in your shoes.
