When I run into this video, I thought they were making a bit, then they doubled and tripled down on this shit take.
modern society causes autism, autism is just what happens to your brain when you grow up without going outside or having friends you watch cartoons like my little pony friendship is magic and go into Google at 12 and find pornography of it your brain chemistry is rewired and the rest of your life your drawing imitations of the stuff that you saw imprinted on to your mind as a child. I think that autism is caused by environmental factors."
Vaush unironically thinks you can exercise your way out of ASD and ADHD.
I don’t follow Vaush but his videos pop-up into my recommendations now and then so I might play them as background noise when gaming sometimes. Today I find out that’s they’re just like Musk in this regard; they sound knowledgeable on subjects I personally don’t know much about (US politics), but when they decide to be confidently utterly wrong about things I know about, that’s when I know they’ve been full of shit on everything.
Holy shit that take was legit infuriating.
Autism can actually be viewed as environmental damage, which is a warning to all the antivaxxer Karen’s out there who traumatize their kids, that they might actually be responsible for harming their child.
In any case, denying that mental illness can’t be spread online is literally ableist. You are enabling the same problems by encouraging the same behavioural patterns or triggering certain insecurities.
And again, content I/O for your brain, the doom scroll, political rabbit holes… you don’t think these things cause mental illness?
Keep telling me how my ADHD and autism is environmental. That insinuates that a change in environment and conditions would fix my disabilities. Keep fucking telling me that if I just went out and touched grass my autism and ADHD would go away. Keep telling me, someone with autism and ADHD that I am the ableist one for calling you out on your bullshit. If I could cure my disability I would. Fuck off
