61 days today. Feeling flat. Worried that life enjoyment will lessen. I know that will change but doing it tough at present

Schizophrenia is curable in some cases by way of the person taking the initiative to change what the person believes which isn’t easy but it’s possible. The hallucinations and delusions lose their power over the person when the person doesn’t believe in them.

So refreshing to hear a real autism scientist telling us how little science knows yet. I'm diagnosed as well but I'm so appalled by so many people posting things about their autism on you tube promoting them as scientific truths and all the people jump on that train. I know all scientific studies and it's so little surely known yet. It's horrible to see these people propagating so much nonsense just beause they believe all the "youtube-knowledge" to be the truth. Worst are the people saying I did research meaning they googled and youtubed instead of actually studying the scientific literature and weighing in the statistics of how valud they are. You'd be surprised of how much "truth" is only in what people regard as autism today.

Neurotypical equaly lack cognitive empathy towards autistic people as vice versa. But autistic people do not lack cognitive empathy towards each other.

Autistic people have usually no interest at all in the environmental factors of autism. As there is this a high danger of scientists finding a way to get rid of us. We exist - get over it! Why don’t scientists shift their focus to what is important to us, the autistics! We want research on our high suicide rate and our low live expectancy. We want research on how we can live better lives but not why we exist.

The drinking often feels like a lifestyle - ahh dealing with life, empowered by alcohol - all a massive illusion that's causing the worst problems in life all along.

Our subconscious can be likened to a caveman seeking immediate gratification, even if it means harm in the long run. Unfortunately, alcohol can lead to not just slow deterioration but also immediate, often indirect, fatalities in various ways. This reality demands careful consideration. The more comforting alcohol feels, the greater the peril it poses.

Consider the blackout episodes PTSD that only disrupts the ability to ever drink again. Post-Traumatic Sober Drive

It is an extremely dispiriting to hear a supposed preeminent expert on autism stating that one shouldn’t get a diagnosis unless they have a disability. Define disability for one thing and who gets to decide how to frame those parameters? Secondly, why would anyone be seeking a diagnosis in the first place unless they are experiencing difficulties? Diagnosis is financially and logistically challenging pretty much everywhere in the world. The suggestion that anyone is frivolously seeking out a diagnosis as some sort of navel gazing exercise is a dangerous supposition. Does he get his information from the trolls on TikTok? Using Elon Musk as an example is disingenuous too. Putting aside the fact that he is an anomoly in the population, another assumption is being made about Musk’s private mental health. Does Baron-Cohen pretend to know anything beyond the public persona of an individual. That’s just insane. Most importantly, it seems that Baron-Cohen is ignoring one piece of data that he should instead be focusing on. As anyone in this field should be - lowered average life expectancy and self h4rm. The fact that the rates of self h4rm are increased in high masking autistic females who are WITHOUT intellectual disability, completely contradicts his point. Disappointing.

Yes very good keep going I have been sober for going on 7years and is fantastic but not to let your guard down or you start from day one

Beautiful video. But you do not know how long it took me to realize Simon is not Sasha? Im like, what does borat have to do with autism?

We know extraversion (solicitation of unknown information from others) is only positively correlated with IQ below the mean. So smart people overestimating stupid people and stupid people underestimating smart people then probably has more to do with extraversion's tendency to mistake consensus for correctness...because ACTUAL shared theory-of mind-arises ONLY OUT OF STATISTICAL INEVITABILITY, NOT EMPATHY. As evidence that our self-perceptions use our estimations of the perceptions of us held by others to test reality note that smart people commonly underestimate themselves and stupid people commonly overestimate themselves. So in the most general of terms dumber extroverts and smarter introverts exist in an unconscious but inevitable symbiosis of incompetent competitive envy betraying the self-defeating selflessness of competence. Sufficient competence to get one's needs met without exploiting others has no need of envy or competition. The fact that THE EXPERTS don't realize postpartum psychosis (wish for the child to become "unborn") is the pathogenic etiology of autism and SIDS isn't just evidence but proof theory-of-mind does not arise from empathy at all but PROBABILITY OF COMMON EXPERIENCE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE PERCEPTUAL STYLE ("NEUROTYPE") IS DETERMINED BY EXPERIENCE. Which does begin in utero. To describe something as doubtlessly genetic and then in the next breath say that the common variants are found in only 5-10% of diagnosed autistics is self-serving midwit omniscience. The reason early-diagnosed autism requires more support is because the child conforms to the sick role to maintain improved attachment. He misperceives having become a proxy for his mother's careseeking as having become worthy of nurturance and settles-into the approval. No motivation toward gestalt language learning or awareness of the need to marshall hyperlexic resourcefulness and teach himself to read. Empathy is only useful for mothers putting their children's needs ahead of their own and their partners putting nursing mothers' needs ahead of their own in support, both without fail in the first six to nine months and then as needed for the next 18 years. Which is why Sir Simon Baron Wreckingball brings none to his work very much like parents with insufficient psychological resources to buffer them from psychosis bringing none to their parenting. His midwit conformity did a shit ton of damage assuming that he did and was therefore an expert.

I've heard so many older women who say this, even after divorce.

Dr. Depaulo, you do a great job making sure single people and everyone else is respected. You don’t put down marriage or relationships, you elevate single life to the same level!!

I'm a single, straight female. I love romance and the concept of undying love, etc. In fact, I'm on a kind of contact high from watching others in love (acting). But, it doesn't make me want to be in a relationship. I love my independence and I'm too much of a giver to be safe in a relationship. I will lose myself and just focus on the other person. Even though I've been single all my life, I haven't taken the best care of myself. So, for once I'm truly feeling like I can just live my life and finally take better care of myself.

Appreciate the discussion and the opportunity to learn. Still a work in progress. Not sure about the concept we are all "machines". However, it depends on one's definitions. With AI coming on so strongly, I can only hope we can remain human. What good would it do to render humanity obsolete? Agree it's important to strive beyond the superficial. I can speak to Brent's challenge with those afternoon beers. Brief background on me: retired EMT, studied nursing, also some experience around the liquor business and from the "School of Life". I've played little gigs in college bars and local watering holes clear across the country and back. Also my dad was in the liquor business for a time. My mom had a little cafe for awhile as well where she served great food, beer and wine. Brent - between 5 and 7 pm after a long full day - you are hungry. You want to reach for a beer b/c you're hungry and tired. Your blood sugar's down if you've been busy and haven't eaten for awhile, and no doubt all the requisite neurochemical processes that go with it. I'm not knowledgable enough to know exactly what those would be. I had an instructor, a neuroscientist, who one day remarked that when we drink we are anesthetizing our frontal lobes. Maybe that helps dull the hunger. For sure a beer would alter your blood sugar. I've been told in Germany they call beer "liquid bread". Are you diabetic? At any rate, much moreso than wrestling with whether or not you lack will power (I'm sure you don't), you need to eat. The next time you have a craving for a beer like that, fix yourself a decent dinner and you should feel much better. Hope that helps -

How did Dr. Amador get his brother to accept treatment?

oh the hat. please

It is my experience that autistic people seem to not only be unable to visualise what another person is thinking, but they also seem not to be able to visualise themselves into a new situation. They can't easily visualise what a particular course of study would involve, or career, or a job interview, or any role they have not had a first-hand introduction to. Also, there is a certain amount of demand avoidance in autism. They tend to say no automatically without giving something a chance. They lose out on opportunities and training because of this sometimes. It is caused by extreme anxiety in not being able to visualise I think. The above must be taken into account by teachers and employers. Advance notice about situations arising are necessary and a gradual introduction so that they do not cause anxiety and result in an automatic no response. A buddy system is useful and a relaxed and not overly demanding manager. Someone who can joke a bit with the autistic person and relax them. Give them choices rather than negative feedback and hanging over their shoulder. Autism and slow processing speed seem also to be linked and needs consideration. Written instructions and slower communication broken into steps helps. Also background information and context. Also sometimes stress levels rise along with heartbeat. Stomach and bowl problems etc. also arise. A sort of fight or flight feeling too. The person may need a breaks to calm themselves or may need to move to use up excess adrenaline. This must be understood and not made difficult or awkward. Finally Autism and trauma with follow on psychosis and schizo- affective disorders may also present. Greater expertise is required to prevent, address and treat this properly. Psychiatrists seem not to know what to do, not to know where autism ends and psychosis / skitzo affective disorders begin. I wonder could the above be discussed next time. Many thanks for an interesting discussion.

i cannot watch a grown man with a backward ball cap on his head

Thank you for touching our hearts.

4:51 oops

Why do all these comments come from people that have given up alcohol???? Why are they still watching these videos??? Surly when your sober you have better things to do 🤔

I was diagnosed with ADHD and have very strong autistic traits. I meet the cut-offs on AQ, EQ, RME etc. I might get the Asperger diagnosis (doesn't exist anymore) if I were to be examined. I function, yeah, but I have to take 3 pills, sometimes 4 a day. It's not easy, it's not. The depressions, anxiety, social life, lack of motivation, even the simplest things, even the mundane everyday life etc., I could go all day... I can't be around people longer than 1 hour, I can't, it becomes unbearable! Not that I have social phobia or sth., I just can't, it's an extreme cognitive burden! I have problems in social life, mimic, gestures. I'm ok with basics but it becomes impossible if it gets complicated. I have no autopilot, I must 24/7 systemize, organize, optimize. Issues with self confidence, executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, I could go on and on... That's why I don't agree with Prof. Cohen. Just because someone functions doesn't mean that he doesn't suffer (enough). I must bust my .ss for even the simplest things that a neurotypical effortlessly can. Believe me, it's fu.king hard!

Folks in Spain and Italy drink red wine all day long, every day and are generally happier and healthier than most Americans. This tells you that factors that having nothing to do with alcohol are responsible for American's problems.

How then people and societies change ? I wish to know more from Prof. R S.

*I am from India & when I moved to USA I started listening NPR as I do not keep TV in my home. I realized quickly that NPR hated my religion & continuously demonized us till the limit that in my opinion they want a genocide of idol worshipers like me. I don't watch News so I don't know others but listening NPR was a trauma for me*

You watch this video and you realize we still don’t really have any real understanding of these complex set of pathologies. Just two guys talking back and forth about this and that. how traumas react and change in the environment can create schizophrenia symptoms and we have no idea what goes wrong in the brains of these people. It’s an ever changing, ever morphing life destroying and utterly complex inside-out disorder. Antipsychotics are not effective no matter what these professionals pat themselves on the back and say. There are no medications for the mesolimbic dysfunction the amygdala addiction thinking and negative symptoms, no tx’s for cognitive or disabiling disorganized symptoms. The only hope is looking at mitochondrial dysfunction and improving totality of healthy Mitochondria in the brain and body. These people’s lives are ruined and psychiatry is doing NOTHING to restore true function or prosperity in these people. Do better!

🌬📢💨 Inciteful, f🧐cused 4wrd questi🤔ns

🌬📢💨 Dr. Bella DePaul🤔 SIS, H🤭NEYCHILE, YOU ARE A GEM. I've been happily single 11 yrs since divorce & itz been the happiest, most meaningful time 😤f my life. I wz married 14 yrs & from a family of 14. You hv slam dunked the 😵‍💫ld myth of single & 👠🙄nely. We hv facetime, b👀ks, music, FAM, travel, friends, social media, & the authentic joy of individual ventures.

Had this book on my list to read. Already read Stop Drinking Now the Easyway so this book should be a great follow up. Hopefully it'll help crush my live for beer which is definitely turning into a nasty habit.

Yeah, most schizophrenia people are not violent ...dont like people attempting to get clicks on the backs of schizoprenic people...guess your desperate.

My journey to sobriety started with the exact same Nikki Glaser clip. Alan Carr led me to Annie Grace and her book completely changed my mindset. Recently started Mr Porters book as well.

Yes, this guy is related to Sasha Baron-Cohen.

28:03 I stopped drinking and my sleep hasn’t improved at all. I eliminate the blue lights, I read before going to bed, I get morning sunlight but yet I struggle to fall asleep and wake up multiple times throughout the night. Now I’ve never used alcohol to try and “sleep” I was a weekend binger when I go out. But honestly I was hoping by stopping my sleep would improve. In any case I don’t plan on going back. Other benefits are great.

3 things will keep you from the doors of AA.. Feelings of indifference, Lack of tolerance,and Resentment..We are all the same in those rooms.. Realize you are living in a burning house with alcoholism.Get out of the house..!

I wake up like that lately early in morning amd cant go back to sleep due to cycling testosterone for the gym...

Everyone wuotes Allen Carre but nobody mentions Jason Vales bokk on the subject written two years before Allens . Vale used to work in Carres clinic by the way..

I can't believe what what that man said. Seriously!? You should only get a diagnosis of autism if there's evidence of disability!? It's so disheartening to hear someone who's an expert on autism make a statement like that. Kudos to the interviewer for the excellent followup question about people getting a diagnosis for the purpose of better understanding themselves. That question was totally deflected, by the way. As a late diagnosed autistic person, getting a formal diagnosis was quite literally life changing. I don't consider myself to be disabled, and I don't require any special accommodations. What the diagnosis did for me was help me to understand myself so much better. I have more self confidence, and I'm more at peace with with who I am. So much about my life makes sense now. There's absolutely value in an autism diagnosis even if you don't need special accommodations.

I am so glad Amanda got her freedom.

the U.S. judicial system definitely has it's flaws... but it is the most fair that I've heard of in my short lifetime

She was screwed over pretty bad

This is not an honest treatise about alcohol. This is a propaganda campaign. I enjoy wine with a meal for the taste. I drink it most nights and pick the wine to complement the meal. But I keep to one or two glasses. I don't hangovers, nor I get increased anxiety because I don't drink to excess. Your comment about not enjoying alcohol except to get drunk is telling. I did this in my college days and cannot see the point of drinking to excess at my advanced age. In summary, your discussion is more about your preferences than it is about actual science. What a disappointing talk.

I stopped watching within 5 minutes of watching, because you didn't give me any eye contact. Just read from your screen.

So you're faulting the media for reporting something that was unusual

This was brilliant. Very useful. Im nearly at six weeks and feeling so much better

This was excellent!!!

I’m amazed that someone as knowledgable about Autism as Simon Baren-Cohen questions whether Elon Musk is Autistic because of how he presents himself. Has he never heard of masking or compensatory strategies? I’m not saying Elon Musk is or isn’t Autistic, but he of all people should know you can’t judge that based on how they present themselves.

For me that differentiation between autistics is just explained by the development of the higher jerarchy neurons and connections. For those who are more functional, that space in charge of refining thoughs regulate impulses analyze for multiple information sources in parallel and at a faster speed is greater or better developed. They may struggle with other impairments but can camouflage better in contrast to those more severely affected. In contrast to those more severe affected that struggle even suppressing impulsive actions according to the situation being this role of those higher connections giving you an better understanding and control. This improved space can be visualized as a giant canvas where recurrent information like short-term memory, imagination, and fast processing for multiple inputs are stored. Individuals with reduced space feel anxiety in environments filled with sensory stimuli, social interactions, and inner thinking, leading them to disassociate or employ escape mechanisms. Lying effectively for example requires considering original facts, matching others' thinking, and imagining possible scenarios rapidly, which can be challenging for autistic individuals due to limitations in this space. They may compensate with extra time for thinking but may struggle in complex scenarios and shouldnt be confused with not being autistic. This space is also in charge of organization, you can previsualize what is more likely to happen in your environment addressing multiple information at the same time and act accordingly being this the reason why they may struggle at planning multitasking and basically most complex tasks that again if given a lot more time they can find a way to achieve something similar maybe drawing on the air or in a paper so they use that sheet as they lacking part to refine thoughs. Not sure about if this could be the reason why some autistic people have problems tracking time, body space, internal regulators like temperature tones and others since the brain may be aware of its limited amount of conscious control it tends to prioritize and neglect some functions and in non verbal cases they can just think what they want but can't combine that with actual vocalization so they or write or use visual aids or gestures since they dont need much thinking on how to transform ideas or requirements into words or sentences. The improved memory is also explained given that the part of the brain involved in long term memory is better developed so they use that instead and with time they get a better at using it sadly this part is not near as fast and cant be used for refining and understanding just to save facts that you previously worked in the short term one like a snapshot of your interpretation so they keep talking the samr things on just one topic(key-content) similar to improved senses for blind people just an adaptation mechanism for the lack of the other. For the focus thing just in one topic is explained aswell for the limited space. Like a key storage to access long term memory, they just can save a unique or limited amount of keys for depper knowledge and well they just keep talking about the same topic is the only path pre-built to long term memory and if asked to change topic will take more effort and more time to delete some of the previous topic from short term to make space in contrast to neurotipicals that just can save a lot more keys for different topics and also keep alert on all body signals autistics just keep optimizing their little limited capacity this would also explain like for patterns or simpler concepts refine information in the outside before analizing inside the brain reducing complexity gives more space for additional information or thinking. Really sad hope to see a real treatment that aims to this undeveloped area and don't rely on pet training ABA or sedative drugs or cannabis common why I mean are we really helping or just silencing them not addressing the root cause of the symptoms won't get us far Improving quality of live for this community.

As I have gotten older, I have become more empathetic to other's struggles. No free will just experience.
