Whoa that's shocking about Bettelheim. In college I tested out of all my English and Spanish before getting there but 8 years and 3 campuses after the very first class I took as a provisional summer freshman had been graduate Spanish I took what must have been a graduate English lit elective and Bettelheim wrote the textbook. Something about symbolism in fairytales. Feigning his credentials sounds about like something he could have learned in my family as easily as apparently his own. Pretty sure he must have been hyperlexic asperger and decided to fight fire with fire when he realized the water with which he'd fought fire his whole life had done no good. Probably why he didn't even do it right. Kicking Asperger out of the club and not Hitler has just been a way the autistic woke hivemind has torn down some of its own rather than be offended when Elon Musk managed to convince people he's one of us. The hypocrisy of nitpicking labels while claiming neurodiversity couldn't be more neurotypical. I think the authoritarian hypocrisy of autistic young adults diagnosed in childhood comes from the style with which autistic kids are parented. Anyway, I forget the name of the SS officer Hitler asked to locate records of his Jewish grandfather but one can surmise he destroyed them. Master race preoccupation might make sense as a mentally unwell socially awkward autistic who would have been cruelly excluded in childhood by the so-called chosen people as a halfbreed. Or I guess that's quarterbreed.. Serious over-the -top rejection sensitivity, and there was some unusual stuff about his elementary schooling and then being a good enough artist to get into art school if I remember correctly but not going or something. Also read somewhere he didn't like blood and avoided being present for violence. I know...that's why I remembered it LOL. Now that I know more about autism that potentially sounds a bit like autistic video gamer derealization. His odd childhood (or the little I know about it) seems to fit the autistic profile and certainly the intensity of his perseveration. Very few well-informed physicians discussing autism in detail on KZbin. Even if I have reason to think a little differently about it what you've posted is useful and helpful.

Thank you for watching and for you comment. The discovery of Bettelheim's forgery and obstinate in the pushing of devastating theories chocked me very much too...I read his books genuinely in the 80ies during my training as a young psychiatrist. It is interesting that both Lovaas and Bettleheim were both traumatized by the nazi, I am sure it did not help their dehumanization of autistic children and the brutal way they "treated" them and their families. You can find more about Bettelheim in the book "The Creation of Dr B: A Biography of Bruno Bettelheim" by Richard Pollak (1997). As a comment on the rest of your comment, once we are familiar with "the double empathy problem" it makes sense than many people involved in autism research might be themselves autistic...

Thank you for saying this. Just maybe a bit of controversial comments here. I am still somewhat of an antivaxxer so I can be seen as a huge black sheep and a covert thorn in the ND community. On the surface I present giving the impression I'm just a quiet ND queer woke person but inside I am too much of an ideological betrayer of the ND people. While I understand the points in the video, and suspect and sense many of them could be true, and feel deeply concerned for all the lost generations of autistics, some parts of the entire narrative still don't add up to me. It's like we are still stuck in 2013 gatekeeping tumblr trying to figure out neurodiversity and having wayback mindsets. On the other hand a lot of society has even more wayback mentalities. I don't feel comfortable or safe even suggesting that I believe some early childhood inoculation programs may increase the likelihood of developing ND traits because I may get attacked. So I almost feel like I have to fake apologize for being antivaxx. I have very negative experiences from learning that I have been misdiagnosed with autism and how people around me dismissed my concerns. I may socially present autistic-like but I do not identify or relate to being "clinically" autistic" anymore. The original promoters of the woke ND narratives seemed to have had such boldness or even some charisma that both ND and NT people fall for and it is a cultural reinforced validation dynamic which disgusts me while they tout the same narrative because it is exploiting traumatized, lonely misunderstood people's feelings and reeling them in. I think the underdiagnosed or overdiagnosed phenomena varies between regions and demographics. The video above seems to take a more grounded view so I'm not attacking it. I'm talking about people who say "AUTISM IS THE FUTURE OF MANKIND HURR DURR". It's NOT, but I do think general neurodiversity might potentially take over because it is. There must be a balance. Stop gatekeeping autism, people! I disbelieved Elon Musk when he said he was on the spectrum. He's too much of a puppet, God knows what he's up to and how his brain got hacked by fame and corruption. RIP to the autistic people who unalived themselves. They deserved better. :(

@@taysampharol thanks for your comment. If we assume that some form of autism exist in over 3% of the world population it means there is as much diversity among autistic people as among non autistic ..diversity in the origin of how we become/why someone is "autistic" (which for me is probably due to complex and various interactions between genetics and environment) and of course it also includes diversity in opinions...thank you for watching my video and for sharing your opinion...

@@taysampharol "I don't feel comfortable or safe even suggesting that I believe some early childhood inoculation programs may increase the likelihood of developing ND traits because I may get attacked." Well, the thing is that that theory has been conclusively and decisively disproven, that may be why. There was never any real scientific support for it to begin with, the only paper to ever find such a link has literally been proven to have been a deliberate fraud designed to promote the writer's alternative treatment. Several of the "autistic" children in the study weren't even autistic! It is extremely irresponsible to be antivax, as it is directly responsible for the current resurgence of several dangerous childhood diseases that were nearly eradicated in the 90s. Also, you shouldn't be mocking people by saying things like "HURR DURR", that is ableist language against people with certain speech impediments and learning disabilities. Also, "woke" is usually a racist dogwhistle, so I would suggest avoiding using that term.

Are you saying Elon Musk isn't autistic?
