    New series where I try to cure myself with various fad diets? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜΅ Maybe not! πŸ˜… I’ve been vegan for 14 years now, so I can confirm that does not cure autism, at least πŸ‘πŸ»

    Thank you for watching! Just a reminder that you are wonderful as you are, you are not broken, you do not need to be fixed πŸ’›

    What a silly man!

  2. I'm not autistic but there just seems to be something really weird about the way he talks about it. 'Something horrible has happened'. Is autism a natural disaster or something? I get it. You found this information you think might be helpful, you want the public to know, But you kinda also want them to pay to know so you put it in a book. Making it sound like autism is the AI apocalypse on the horizon so people will buy your book is not cool. It makes you come across as someone who doesn't actually give a shit about autistic people. And also, that face you keep making, that 'if I don't blink and talk very slowly they'll take me seriously' face, is not helping either. Makes you come across as condescending even though I'm sure that's not what you were going for, but I've met autistic people who act more like human beings than you did in this video.

  3. Please do post list of all you come across who spread harmful lies about and harmful views of Autistic community and neurodivergent people in general. That would help me so much with my lawsuits πŸ™‚ Thanks β™₯

  4. I eat a lot of chicken and still have seizures.
    Christopher M. Palmer MD and The Diary of a CEO Clips have been added as defendants to my lawsuit. I would like to thank them for their generous contribution. I plan to use all their money that I will win in the lawsuit to actually benefit neurodivergent community.
    Freedom of speech my ass. You promote harmful myths – you pay. Simple.
    Oh and if you are not actually Autistic – please do shut up and stop talking about things that you have no idea about and have no lived in experience of. At least 40% of the world's population are neurodivergent.

  5. My uncle who was obviously definitely already autistic when he was a child got his diagnosis in his 50s. Then everything made sense. He was from 1949. There was no autism center where he lived back then. He was just 'different'. It makes total sense that the numbers are much higher now.

  6. LMAO that quote at the very beginning sounded like the most ironic bit i ever heard πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ just absolutely out of pocket and makes ZERO sense yet bro thinks he’s spitting πŸ—£οΈ 🀣😭😭😭 this mf gotta be trolling cuz that’s 🧒 🌞

  7. Just something I thought was interesting about that guy's theory. When I was pregnant, I was a perfect body weight the whole time. Many yrs later I'm overweight with diabetes. I have always suspected autism for my child, but we are only now getting her diagnosis at 10 yrs old (they told me ADHD when she was 6. I knew that was right, but I also knew there was more going on, but what can you do? This was after meeting the doctor for about 20 minutes, once. We are on medicaid, and this is Oklahoma, so there was literally nothing else I could do at the time. ) Anyway, after researching it, it turns out that I'm probably "more" autistic than she is even. I just got good at masking growing up in an abusive environment.

    The point is, there could be a link, but I doubt it's a causal one. It would make sense whatever gene or genes that predispose one to autism can also predispose one to weight gain and diabetes. (I know it's more complex than just genes. There are epigenetics as well, but my point still works considering them as well. )

  8. OMG. "do something boring as a nighttime routine". This person (and I actively choose to don't call him by his title or profession) clearly HAS NO EXPERIENCE getting an autistic sensory seeking child to bed 😑 two minutes into doing something boring and my child runs amok. Good luck in making him fall asleep, I guess. Gaaahhh, his audacity πŸ˜‚

  9. He's using misleading statistics to create 'facts' to push what he's selling. As you say, it's correlation, not causation. I followed Dave Asprey for a long time and he claimed that he partly used diet (basically keto) to 'cure' his Aspergers. Everything is connected but "you are what you eat" is clearly too simplistic. You've mirrored my thoughts that looking after yourself is important for wellbeing whether you're autistic or not. That does not equal a cure for autism, just a potential and unvalidated easing.

    Great analysis – you've nailed it.

  10. I have no proof for this im not a doctor but i feel like you could say theres been millions of people who have ____ condition suddenly because its just been invented (cant think of the word lol) so like for example before people knew about diabetes noone had it……then we discover it and people start going to the doctors an being diagnosed with diabetes everyone could state "oh its become an epidemic everyone suddenly has diabetes who didnt before……" your like ugh its cos you didnt know πŸ˜” if that even makes sense do you know what im trying to say im really struggling not to just say the same thing over an over in different ways to over explain hahahaha.
    I was born in 85 and my mum was anorexic and they used a weird machine that went over her belly so all the blood in her body went right to me to make me grow she said she thought her eyes were going to pop out it was traumatic but i was born 6weeks early at 6lbs so the machine must have worked but its never been used again…..my mum and dad have a gene they passed to me causing me to have a genetic mutation meaning my body doesnt know i need an endocrine system so my immune system kills it all causing all different chronic conditions as time goes on due to my endocrine system failing but when i was little i had a teacher in hospital and a teacher at home so i could catch up as i was apparently 3yrs behind mentally but my mum refused to keep me behind 3yr in school they said i was dyslexic and had learning difficulties etc but they just suddenly stopped caring about that stuff when i left school like it was only in school that you can have learning difficulties and dyslexia and the number kind…….so now im like look at my childhood medical notes an get me an official autism diagnosis cos right now they have only said im obviously autistic verbally…….sorry for the novel you know what its like haha xx

  11. Rates of autism going up being a concern is code word for, we used to punish children for behaving differently, thinking it could be corrected permanently, and misdiagnose them with childhood schizophrenia, but now since autism is becoming widely accepted, umderstood, and normalized, we can't keep pretending that it doesn't exist as a natural social neurodivergence.

  12. I never realised my mental illness/neurodivergence was caused by my lack of proteins! Gotta go tell my therapist she's way off base, I just need to eat more cheese!

  13. I feel I know something about Keto, so my thoughts while watching it were mostly about that. To be clear, I don't see it as a cure-all, but it has helped me become fitter physically and mentally. I am not diagnosed as neurodivergent.
    1:00 – In reality, the ketogenic is mostly salad, not meat; if you eat a lot of meat, you are not doing Keto. 125g per day is a little protein, which I ate as a maximum daily while doing Keto.
    2:40 – Steve does that, saying people are asking him about the interviewee's subject. Personally, I find it irritating.
    5:10β€”Agreed, high probability is the best option. I would love to see the backing evidence to see how well it was done or even if he misrepresented it.
    7:05 – Ah, you did that for me, thanks πŸ˜€
    15:35 – Having guests like this on Steve's show is why I unsubscribed from DoC.
    21:55 – Hmm, not Keto, then; see the comment at 1 minute. I eat less proteins when on Keto than I ever before.
    21:57 – What https://www.healthline.com/ describes regarding the ketogenic diet does not give an accurate description of what I understand the diet to be in practice.
    22:01β€”Yes, higher cholesterol, but as you said earlier, just because one thing is present does not make it the cause of something else.
    22:09 – This I was not aware of and would again like to know if it is a real Keto diet or the perception of what Keto is. Still not a big issue for me.
    22:24 – Meh he just gave good advice to everyone including yourself
    22:40 – the work was 'avoid' not 'never have', sound advice now who is being a sensationalist?
    24:59 – Did he say it was a cure?
    Got bored of him and didn't watch anymore

  14. I know a lot of woo woo nutters who will follow this horse s@&t and blame themselves for their child's diversity. I also know that his PhD will result in this becoming the new accepted model, amongst some gullible professionals.
    I've come across some really dangerous baloney spouted by supporters of Diagnosis For Evetyone. Curing us, and an insistence it's ALL trauma based bollards.
