1. 00:02 it may come as a shock to you but most clinicians therapists psychologists social workers most of them are human beings I know it doesn't look that way but it's a statistical fact established in numerous studies And as human beings they're fallible They're prone to fads
2. 00:22 and fashions And above all they love money And they are suggestible So those of you who are as ancient as I am remember probably the pandemic of sexual abuse childhood sexual abuse cases in the I think 70s and 80s where thousands of practitioners suddenly
3. 00:48 discovered that their patients had been abused sexually by their parents There was even a number banded about onethird of all children were abused sexually by parents And of course there was a lot of money in this Many innocent people went to
4. 01:07 prison There was uh a huge problem with so-called recovered memories or false memories which were false completely false There was a similar fad with alien abductions believe it or not where therapists confirmed hypnotherapists usually hypnotherapists confirmed that
5. 01:27 people were abducted by aliens and sexually experimented upon Somehow sex is involved in all this And of course Satanism There was a period of about a decade where Saturnism was everywhere and your neighbor your local cup your sheriff your mayor and of
6. 01:45 course your husband were all involved in Satanism directly or indirectly And all this was given the impremature the authoritative acknowledgment and confirmation of psychologists therapists and social workers who worked as therapists So can we trust these people i am far from
7. 02:11 convinced There are several several epidemics in action right now It seems that the number of people with ADHD is multiplying by the minute Narcissism also is rampant and consume has already consumed 20% of the population it seems And the worst self-inflicted
8. 02:34 self-imagined epidemic of all is autism spectrum disorder It seems I believe it is a fad or a fashion similar to gender dysphoria Gender dysphoria is an exceedingly but I mean exceedingly rare condition And now suddenly it characterizes it erupted and has consumed 3 to 5% of
9. 03:02 children Autism spectrum disorder gender dysphoria transgender gender dysphoria induced transgender ideologies and so on so forth They are fads They're social fashions They're not grounded in any science They're not real It's a contagion It's a social
10. 03:26 contagion and suggestible hypnotists and therapists and psychologists and psychiatrists and social workers and so on so forth tune into this train wreck and amplify it and magnify it Of course at the same time they make a lot of money of it Now books and training
11. 03:48 sessions and workshops and therapy sessions and so on so forth It takes
12. 03:56 $100,000 to modify the behaviors of a single diagnosed autistic child $100,000 No wonder they're sprouting all over They're money makers These autistic children are money makers Who would give up on them the more diagnosed the better it is as the therapist or clinician or
13. 04:22 psychiatrist laugh all the way to the bank It's a con Today I would like to tackle the facts as we know them and we know very little Dismbiguate some things dispel some myths and set us on firm ground because there's a hysterical msychosis going on The latest
14. 04:49 surveillance data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show an in unbelievable steep rise in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder A yearslong trend of increasing diagnosis Some of it could be explained via greater awareness some of it and
15. 05:09 improved diagnostic uh set diagnostic criteria have been have been amalgamated and and made much more concise and clear this played a role No question about it But I believe the vast majority the bulk of this increase in diagnosis has either to do with corn
16. 05:31 artistry psychologists and psychiatrists who are con artists charlatans and they want to make money off this or with suggestible fattish
17. 05:44 um psychologists and and and therapists and psychiatrists who are just you know hopping on the wagon of of autism On April 10th the US Department of Health and Human Services HSS the Secretary Robert F Kennedy announced that he's going to set a September
18. 06:04 deadline to determine the cause of what he called justifiably I think the autism epidemic By September he said we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures He is making an implicit assumption of course that a autism is
19. 06:25 environmentally induced that it is a reaction genetic maybe brain abnormality reaction a reaction to environmental factors pollutants or something Many scientists um are deeply skeptical They don't believe that there will be a definitive answer in a few months Actually many of
20. 06:45 them don't believe there's a definitive answer period They don't think we can ever find the causes of autism Now the CDC regularly compiles data on ASD uh autism spectrum disorder ASD on ASD prevalence through our they have something called the ADDM the
21. 07:07 autism and developmental disabilities monitoring network And the findings of the CDC are relatively reliable um and they deal mostly with autism rates among children So the most recent data from 2022 uh there is about 400,000 8-year-olds across 16 US sites
22. 07:34 who were diagnosed with autism and it seems that autism affects one in 31 children Um it's about 32.2 per thousand That's up from 2020 where autism has affected one point one of every 36 And it's mysteriously and unexplainably and inexplicably and completely improbably
23. 08:00 up from 2000 where autism affected one of 150 children In other words according to the CDC figures autism has quadruple has gone up 500% in the space of 25 years Diseases don't work this way I'm sorry Even epidemics don't work this way This is completely complete nonsense
24. 08:23 Unmitigated nonsense There's no way this can be true Uh autism spectrum disorder is more common in boys than girls For every girl with autism spectrum disorder there's three and a half boys with the alleged disease Um this has to do with underdiagnos underdiagnosis in in girls and
25. 08:49 and so there are also racial disparities and ethnic disparities For example autism is much higher among Asian Pacific Islanders black and Hispanic children than among white children This pattern has first been observed in 2020 Children born in
26. 09:08 2018 um were more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by age 48 months compared with those born in 2014 There's an increased early identification consistent with historical patterns on the one hand or something at play in the environment as
27. 09:25 Kennedy suggests or something at play that is increasing autism Then the third possibility of course that it's all a fad It's all a fashionable thing to say and that people children especially are being misdiagnosed on mass unethically The CDC latest
28. 09:48 findings led to this scrutiny over why autism prevalence continues to rise And again as I mentioned there are several factors broader diagnostic criteria greater awareness among parents and pediatricians improved access to specialized services and you name it
29. 10:08 These shifts mean that children who may have been overlooked ignored in previous decades are now being identified and noticed Kennedy has this theory of environmental toxins and the potential role in autism spectrum disorder He even claimed on April 16 that toxins disrupt
30. 10:30 neuro development and are behind the rising case load He described autism as a preventable disease He pledged to identify the environmental culprits by September This is one approach Uh um the same Kennedy has been identified in the past with the thoroughly debunked
31. 10:51 notion that vaccines any vaccine result in autism in children It's been studied like for 20 years hundreds of studies Nothing has ever been found including mega studies with tens of tens of thousands of children Nothing has ever been found This is
32. 11:08 nonsense It's a myth It has to be buried once and for all Kennedy said "We're going to follow the science no matter what it says and we will have some of the answers by September." I'm not sure about September I hope he's going to follow the science The International
33. 11:23 Society for Autism Research said about the condition that it is out of touch uh to claim that it is a preventable disease evidence-based understanding contemporary evidence-based understanding of autism precludes this It's not a preventable condition Based
34. 11:41 on current autism research they said "We know that there are many causes of autism and virtually all of these occur pre-natally." The statement continues In other words you're born with autism Mind you this does not exclude toxins I'm not quite sure what is the
35. 12:00 logic of the people who issued these statements the toxins toxins could reach the fetus the embryo via the mother of course Okay So what is it about autism spectrum disorder is it genes is it environment is it both is it toxins is it what what do we know so start with
36. 12:20 the evidence The evident evidence points to a substantial genetic component in the ethology causation of autism spectrum disorder There was the studies of twins which started in the 1970s and it has been consistently shown that vast majority of autism is due to
37. 12:40 genetics Um there's a guy called Alexander Collson is a clinical director of sever autism center at Mount Sinai in New York City and recently he had this to say on Medscape medical news He said "With advances in genetic technology and analytic methods hundreds of specific
38. 13:01 genetic changes have now been identified and are commonly accepted to cause autism Yet the same twin studies show that if one identical twin has autism the other may not about 10% of the time leaving room for some environmental influence So again we're back back to
39. 13:20 square one Environmental effects says Collivon may be acting through epigenetic mechanisms where certain factors as yet as of yet unidentified influence the expression of genes However despite being an active area of study no widespread environmental
40. 13:37 effects have been reliably established to date Whenever a scientist raises epigenetics I know that they're at a loss They have no idea what they're talking about When it comes to environmental contributions a substantial amount of research focused
41. 13:52 on exposure during the prenatal period a critical window for neuro development The brain forms critical parts of the brain form during this period So in 2019 for example in the prestigious um academic magazine uh JAMA pediatrics um Journal of American Medical Association
42. 14:14 Pediatrics there was a population-based cohort study a big one actually with 133,000 births and the study demonstrated that maternal exposure to nitric oxide during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of autism in the offspring In a 2022 study
43. 14:36 which was even bigger there was almost 300,000 mother child peers total of almost 600,000 people They found that exposure to particulate matter uh 2.5 specific particulate matter in the atmosphere pollutant in the first two gestational trimesters was associated with increased
44. 14:58 autism risk in children There's another study 2022 from France and it showed prenatal exposure to organo phosphate pesticides linked to an increase in autistic traits among 11 year olds So it was a longitudinal study Maternal metabolic conditions also play a role
45. 15:19 There's no question about it in April 2025 was a meta analysis of 202 studies including 56 million mother child peers
46. 15:32 and it showed that children born to mothers with gestational diabetes were 25% more likely to be diagnosed with autism To put it succinctly the mothers are getting sicker Mothers are more obese They have diabetes They have metabolic syndrome they have heart
47. 15:52 conditions they and of course they have children much later in life where the chances for genetic mutations are much higher and so that's a situation and children are born sick because the mothers are sick Researchers have also linked autism to
48. 16:10 pre-term birth and advanced parental age as I've just said And these exposures operate on the genetic substrate I think there's kind of a genetic template with genes ready to express or ready to be shut off And then the environment environmental exposure
49. 16:31 modifies these genes influences genes expression immune activation neur neuronal neuronal developments So these are not standalone causes They operate in conjunction and in cahoots with a genetic um template What about the gut the intestines we
50. 16:51 recently in the past 1015 years we're very interested in the gut brain link So there's an emerging area of autism research involving the gut the gut microbiome and whether gut dispiosis contributes to autism Um Liza Aziz Zade uh she's a professor
51. 17:11 at the department of psychology in the University of Southern California Los Angeles said the following There have been several studies showing that there is gut dispiosis in autism and that it correlates with autism symptoms However we know that any behavioral differences
52. 17:28 must be via gut microbiome metabolite interactions with the human nervous system So there was another study in April 2025 These are the latest cutting edge studies It was published in nature communications Aziz Zade and her team and they identified links between gut
53. 17:48 micro microbiome microbial tryptophan metabolites ASD symptoms and brain activity in individuals with autism particularly in brain regions associated with interceptive processing and this points to some kind of uh as she puts it mechanistic model by which gut
54. 18:08 metabolites may impact autism It's possible that addressing gut imbalances via diet probiotics prebiotics fcal transplants may be helpful However we still don't know if there is a critical age where this may need to happen Prenatal early life there is still a lot
55. 18:26 of work to be done to answer this question There's another study which actually went this route They they followed people with micro microbiota transfer therapy and they found that such implants usually fal implants but not only led to significant improvements in gastrointestinal
56. 18:49 symptoms autism related symptoms and gut microbiota in children with autism The effects of the initial treatment on gut microbiota and GI symptoms was maintained for two years There was a two-year follow-up and it was maintained and continued improvements in
57. 19:05 autism-like behaviors So the gut clearly has something to do with it Kennedy insist that the problem has to be solved by September A problem that's already been cons that has already consumed 90 years of research by September That's un unrealistic
58. 19:21 Um and immediately he was subjected to a backlash by advocacy organizations professional societies research scientists skepticism mockery physibilities of the deadline is is you know nonsense It's too complex to find a single cause and so on so forth KZON
59. 19:43 which I mentioned before said the odds of identifying a single factor that causes autism whether genetic or environmental is zero And this is giving people a false sense of hope said the autism society on of America We find the administration's
60. 20:00 claim that we all know what has caused autism epidemic and will be able to eliminate those exposures to be harmful misleading and unrealistic Aziz Zadel like most of her peers insists that 60 to 90% of the causes of autism are likely due to genetic factors However the number is
61. 20:20 not 100 So as she says there are also contributing environmental factors What those might be we still don't know and likely there isn't a single one There was a letter signed by 130 scientists the Coalition of Autism Scientists formed recently and the letter rejected
62. 20:40 Kennedy's so-called false narrative about the incidents and causes of autism The statement said "We are unified in our unified in our commitment to conduct the highest quality research and build mutual respect and trust with the public This trust is seriously threatened by
63. 20:56 the secretary's interpretation of the rising prevalence rates and his plans to carry out a study that will deliver findings within a few months on an environmental toxin that causes autism Equally frightening I would say was the idea to create um kind of autism
64. 21:15 registry The National Institutes of Health announced plans to establish a new disease registry focused on autism spectrum disorder and they would collect federal and private health data for autism studies the new director of NIH uh made the announcement during a
65. 21:33 presentation to the council of councils on April 21st which was my birthday no accident and so three days later they walked it back and we're not creating a registry and and so on so forth and we're investing $50 million in comprehensive research to understand the causes and papa
66. 21:55 and autism speaks which is an advocacy group said that research should not focus solely on the causes We also need to invest in studies that lead to real improvement in people's lives like better health care education job opportunities and support at every stage
67. 22:09 of life for autistic people and their families Let me be clear I'm not disputing that there is autism spectrum disorders I'm not disputing this I'm not disputing there is gender dysphoria And of course I'm not disputing there's narcissistic personality disorder What I
68. 22:26 am disputing and what I am highly suspicious of what I think is a form of mass psychoggenic illness psychoggenic illness mass mass psychosis mass hysteria is the explosion in diagnosis in ADHD in autism in narcissism which is very reminiscent of the dark periods where there was an
69. 22:49 explosion of diagnosis of sexual abuse in early childhood of satanic rituals of alien abductions Carl Sean wrote a book about this It's called The Demon Haunted World And he warned against the suggestability and self-interest of self-appointed gatekeepers and
70. 23:11 guardians psychologists psychiatrists and therapists We cannot count on them to tell the truth There's too much at stake We cannot count on scientists whose living they who make their living off the study of autism to tell us the truth fully We need outside
71. 23:34 bodies totally disinterested who do not stand to benefit in any way shape or form to look into the situation whenever there's a 500% explosion in diagnosis within 25 years because clearly as Sherlock Holmes would have put it something is a foot and usually what he
72. 23:56 meant was some kind of crime
