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.
Heard about their problematic takes before I ever came across any of their videos, so I didn’t even bother, but holy shit, that’s a bad take.
Watch how loads of “progressive” folks continue supporting them because they don’t see ableism as a real issue worth taking seriously…🙄
Vaush is non-binary now? And claiming ADHD is made up shit? Lol. Lmao even. Dude needs to chill out and take a break.

I don’t know Vaush’s pronouns. I just use ‘they’ as default
Only positive of this is that the comments are absolutely raking them over the coals about it.

The take about “infectious mental diseases” is very weird and bordering on ableism. I suggest you find another way to make your point.
Are… Are you basically making the same point as them?
That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.
You have a lot of internalised and lateral ableism to unpack.
You have a lot of re-reading to do before you use big words like “ableism”.
“Touching grass” is a pejorative. “Going offline” or “detoxing from social media” - or “taking a break from streaming” is a recommendation by most psychiatrists in the world today. I don’t think you know the difference.
I don’t care what you think about the WHO, but they’ve collected the opinions of the world of psychiatry and it’s clear: the world is suffering from a global mental health pandemic.
To say that this isn’t exacerbated online is intellectually disingenuous, dishonest and your basic take shows exactly what your mentality is.
So tell me: whose the ableist here?
Also, I didn’t know Vaush had they/them pronouns… except he doesn’t.
they/them is often used as the default pronouns when someone doesn’t know them.
Massive difference between saying “mental illness is worsened by extensive time online” and “mental illness is contagious through the internet.”
