Autism Recovery - Questioning the Impossible

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In the midst of all the unknowns in the diagnosis and treatment of autism, UConn psychology professor Deborah Fein’s studies on recovery from autism have brought validation and hope to thousands of parents. Her research suggests that some children with autism can overcome the symptoms of the disorder over time and with intense therapy.
UConn’s search for breakthroughs in autism is leading to better outcomes and changing the course of children’s lives. We question it. We get it.
My son was diagnosed as autistic (Asperger's syndrome) and was put into special ed school when he was two years of age. He didn't start speaking until he was four. He went to regular kindergarten when it was time, but he had an IEP (Individual Education Plan). He took speech, occupational, and social therapies every day but Sunday even when school was out. About fourth grade he started catching up and even surpassing the other students. When he was in high school, he started taking some college-level classes that were offered at his school. He then moved away on his own to Old Dominion College and got a master's degree in electrical engineering.
That is so amazing! The gap is getting smaller and smaller for my son. At 9 he's still behind in some categories but is extremely bright. I pray for a success story like yours ❤
Mi hija tiene 4 años espero que hable tengo fe
@@user-kx1zq8hx6e Definitivamente es posible. Mi hijo empezó a hablar cuando tenía 5 años. La terapia aba cambió nuestras vidas. Ahora habla mucho. Mantienes la fe hermana ♥️
Incredible!! You must be so proud and happy for your son! I hope my son overcomes his speech delay too. I pray for him every day.
Please can I talk to you please I want to know about the social therapy
Recovered or being forced to mask? Masking/ABA leads on to potential of cPTSD later in life.
As I call ABA from my experience having it, Applied Behavioral Abuse. Yes it led to severe PTSD with my autism for the rest of my life. Im beyond shutdown, and in a Life altering regression and burnout stage after the last year and half. And society has continued to worsen it.
I was late diagnosed a late diagnosed autistic/neurodivergent (as also have adhd). Only diagnosed after increasing mental health problems leading to my inability to pass/mask.
Since diagnosis my MH has improved and I don’t mask.
Watching videos like this makes me feel uneasy.
Also hope that you’re able to recover.
@@MrAndywills right like its something disturbed just "in the air"
Their still is a recovered option
People often claim that if you lose your autistic traits, you’re masking, but that’s not always true. I lost almost all of my traits and I genuinely lost them. I remember what it was like to mask, and this is nothing like that. I have become drastically, genuinely different and am moving effortlessly through life when everything was a struggle before. I feel more like myself than ever and I’m happier than ever.
As long as diagnosis is based primarily on observation and checklists, there will always be people who lose their symptoms because that method of diagnosis doesn’t prove anything about the cause of the symptoms nor how long they’ll last for. The clinical psychologist who diagnosed me didn’t look at my brain; she merely checked off a few boxes. That doesn’t prove that my symptoms will be lifelong.
In my case, a health issue might have been contributing to my issues because things started to turn around once I focused on nutrition and fitness/muscle building.
im sorry, how old are you?) since what age do you know your diagnosis?
Due to my age, it was my late 20s (I’m now 36), but with an extensive childhood history and school intervention. To be clear, I never had the same type of autism as shown in this video. My diagnosis was Asperger’s/ASD level 1 and my first word was at 18 months so I wasn’t speech delayed. However, I still had life-limiting social difficulties and self-injurious meltdowns. The diagnosis seemed to fit me at the time and explained my whole life. I had 18/18 possible symptoms when I was diagnosed and had full family support. Some of my extended family had actually suggested I had Asperger’s as a kid, but my parents never took me to a specialist and I got sent down the medication route (which did nothing). I was only diagnosed because a counselor eventually spotted symptoms in me.
You can easily make a case for me both having or not having it, and that’s down to the absurd way we diagnose people. People are being told they have a lifelong, un-cureable condition when some of them don’t. I’ve met other people like me. We are out there.
I still like to write a lot. I haven’t lost that trait 😉
@@kirsty4621 I can also confirm this happens. It happened to me. I think that the biggest problem is how we understand mental illnesses. No, I'm not masking, it's just who I am. For now.
@@kirsty4621 How would you know? You could still very much show all the traits off autism without noticing it yourself, since it comes so natural. All it might take is the right environment.
Okay, let’s disregard the fact that my whole perception of the world is different now (sensory issues gone, reactions to everything are different) and I finally get people now. Even without that, everyone who knows me has noticed, and everyone I meet out in the world treats me completely differently now. I feel as if I’ve been dropped into a new universe where everyone understands and likes me. I used to be ignored or even looked down on in public. Now everyone wants to talk to me and every interaction goes smoothly.
I’ve put myself into lots of demanding situations over several years and the traits haven’t returned. I get that it’s very difficult to prove when you don’t know me and can’t get into my head, but I wouldn’t make this claim if the changes hadn’t been profound and obvious to both me and everyone around me.
The sad reality is that a lot of “autistic” people (especially late-diagnosed people) are self victimizing. They use their autism as an excuse to avoid things they find difficult, and that is exactly what I used to do as well. Even people who do have some permanent symptoms can still improve their situation in some way if they put in the work.
I was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism at age 3 and years later it’s hard for me in different schools and I don’t like having it since depression, anxiety and loneliness after graduating high school and some day I will recover from it and others will do the same in the future
You’ll always be autistic. Embrace it. Own it. Be proud of it. There’s nothing wrong with YOU. There’s a lot wrong with how society sees you, but there is NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!
And yes I know that sounds like a hard thing to accept. But I’d say you should really explore your symptoms, there are a lot of great RUclips autistic channels. Look up Orion Kelly, The Aspie world, autism from the inside. And there’s plenty others .
Calling it recovery pisses me off. He just got the help all kids on the spectrum deserve. They didn’t move off the spectrum they developed skills… wow
ya your rite Im on the spectrum too.
I thought that sounded weird myself. I could tell he is still experiencing autism just in the way he speaks. I can feel all the things going on in his mind which is autistic.
I wasn't able to get ABA as a kid. I wonder if having it would have prevented my suicidal thoughts and half-hearted suicidal attempts in elementary school. If it could have prevented the 3 day autistic meltdown I had my junior year, bedridden from stress.
But also, I'm glad I didn’t get the ignoring from meltdowns I heard people get PTSD from in ABA, nor was forced to push myself all day.
I've worked as an ABA therapist now, and I can tell you that only a couple therapists truly seem "born" to work with kids. Those ones are angelic and would be an absolute DELIGHT to have gotten ABA from. Watching them made me want it, perhaps even if I didn't need it (though I did). Most of the others are kind of tired and want adult-minded social interaction. They seem like they're just there for a couple years and then they plan to leave.
The speech pathologists who came to our center regulalry, said that our center was the best one in the whole area, because everyone was always happy, and communication was really good. We were happy despite our tiredness, because our supervisor did an AMAZING job at making us all feel loved, giving constructive criticism clearly yet without judgement, praising what we did right, and working on helping us improve over time instead of expecting superhuman perfection immediately.
My point is, I'm sure there are many others who had quite different experiences, where things weren't so close to heaven on earth.
I think ABA is a blessing for stuff like learning to talk and go to the bathroom, and naturalistic teaching, and therapists who totally love the kids, know how to work with them, make things enjoyable, make them feel unconditionally and beautifully loved, and bring light to the kids' eyes.
I really, really wish that (1) they'd prioritize having that light in their eyes (like I hear DIR Floor Time therapy does for autism), and (2) They'd respond to meltdowns by experimenting to find what helps them calm down, even if some of the attempts make the meltdown temporarily worse. Then when the child is an adult, they will know how to calm down from their meltdowns. That would be great.
They also need to help kids find ways to stim as much as possible in socially acceptable ways. Stimming improves mental health. The unprocessed energy gets stuck in you, and it has to go somewhere, and it goes out by stimming. As an adulr, I've now experimented with various stims and toys. I flap my hands more socially acceptably by doing it with a slinky. This is, only if the child cares about others not judging them. I care. I actually wish I didn’t.
What does recovery mean? How much of that means to conform to society, which can be incredibly dysfunctional? Are there things about autism that actually might not be anything “wrong”?
I agree with you
Recovery= healing to manage your life psychically and being able to do things without assistence for everything ( A 4plegiac is different, cf "A different Friendship", Helen Keller, A beautiful mind or "Born like that") having a drive of one's own and abílity to give others sth back. BEing ble to communicate satisfactorily for the most part, or otherwise functiining in everyday life, haveing soem meaning and maybe work/occupation, not only being dependent.
Being able to stand and tolerate at least the least level of societal dysfunctionality, havinga bit of skin/protection/ discernment, integrity, self-confidence,. Sth like that. What do you think please?
@@Medietos I agree 100%
Is this taking into account that it's possible to be autistic and social, autistic and make eye contact, or be autistic and not be hypersensitive to sensory information? Sometimes sensory differences can be in the opposite direction and mean hyposensitivity, which can be easier to overlook as hyposensitivity is less likely to involve meltdowns.
I see this video as being a scam, a commercial for ABA, which is itself a scam that, claims to cure someone of a neurological architecture difference, in much like the thought that if you dress a bear in a humans clothes it's now a human. But a bear under those clothes is just appearing to be a human to some degree.
Once autistic, always autistic: once allistic, always allistic. It makes no sense to try to claim that one pretending to be the other is a "cure" or "correct" or anything else than a fraud.
The real pathology comes from one judging the neurology of the opposite group from the premise that it's inherently defective: neither one has traits that are ideal in all environments and circumstances.
@@strictnonconformist7369 exactly this! ABA infuriates me. it's literal child abuse.
Thats crazy cuzz im 17 and im literally loosing my symptoms
We lose our symptoms not because we are cured but because we are strong. We work hard and continue doing so, amen.
I did not have any therapy, and over time all my symptoms (so aspergers completely disappeared im now a different person
What are some of the early signs you had in your child hood???like around three years of age
I have Autism and while it can be treated dont BS me that there is a cure. If you believe there is cure then you do not understand what autism actually is.
My son is 8 years old he also have autism he is nonverbal and extremely picky eater. I do IBI Therapy and speech therapy for him I hope 🙏🙏 his autism get cure and he get 100% healed .
maybe autism doesn't need a cure because there's technically nothing wrong, it's just development. With that being said, it's such a wide spectrum there is also a spectrum of thing it might be caused by. One person leaving it behind may be impossible for a different person, you can't really say.
@@TheSaintEmma Your right I cant say. That is why I listen to the experts and not amateurs.
A cure for autism is possible.
@Kagan Royplz share what treatment options did you follow it can help me for my son
That's not recovery, he's just learning how to mask it very well, and some are indeed better at that than others.
But it comes with a cost ...it takes so much energy that it will very likely take a high toll one day in his future.
Talking about recovery from autism is like talking about recovery from homosexuality ...
It does not happen, unless the person has never even been autistic in the first place.
But they can hide it and act as if they are not ...mostly because they feel (and fear) that society won't accept them for who they really are
...and that's actually the real problem that needs recovery.
So, what is the reality of autism? Is it a justifiable goal to 'recover' from autism, or is it more realistic to see autism as an alternative viewpoint?
My life partner is autistic but I am bog standard. Why should one of us be expected to cure themselves of their viewpoint, while the other has no such responsibility?
Because autism makes people less adept to many sitautions?
I have autism and I know that there are fundamental differences I have that normal people don't. It's like being blind in some subtle, important ways. I know that autism prevents me from communicating effectively because 1) I'm interested in obscure subject matter that I look up obsessively 2) I can't understand how small talk works, 3) I don't know how to navigate confrontational situations and 4) I can't read people unless they are exaggerating their expressions. I can be locked in a room with only books, paper, and pens for a month and not "go crazy". That is the difference, and while my mom and my bf can't see my autism, I feel it every day when I read novels and watch shows.
Because think of it as a physical disorder, like arms that doesn't work. As a result they are unable to do many things which severely affects their quality of life. Do you consider a handicap just an alternative viewpoint or something we need to fix in order increase life quality?
@@ratratte Autism is literally a boost in skill in one field at the expense of a few others. You want to literally change a brain. You want to remove differences, not accept them
@@legendarypussydestroyer6943 You just want all humans to not have a spectrum in ability. It's like making everyone with different skin colors 1 color.
Sorry guys, but this is not curable, you just got better at masking
I don’t think you can “recover” from autism because you’re brain still works differently than others but definitely the symptoms can diminish some much that they can basically be indistinguishable from most people. I’m not trying to say that anyone is wrong for thinking that but just trying to clear up some misconceptions.
Thank you for understanding
Autistcs are "different". It doesn't mean bad. Looked into the world and seen how people are? Without autistics, they'd still be living in the dark ages. In America, they still cry about politics like children. Yeah, something ton aspire to...I wish I were weak like a neurotypical. I hate Trump/let's go Brandon, or would you rather be your normal self? Yeah, autistics are "different" but not inferior. Without autistics, we would still be wondering how to make fire. Without autistics, people are sheep.
My son have suffered autism spectrum since childhood and Have battled with it all his life. But recently taking of dr oyalo herbs have help his get rid of it completely, his speech is vibal and his behavior is ok. I’m so glad and happy now
@@bolinhong2598 Thank you. Your heartwarming story have made me realize that i am not good enough and that i should abuse myself so others would think that i dont have autism anymore. Again, thank you!
God is able
This video disturbs me greatly. I feel bummed (and frankly, pretty insulted) that the video strongly insinuates that who I am as an autistic adult is something that should be “recovered from.”
I am not diseased, I am not deficient. My self is not a moral deficit. I am different. I am whole and worthy as I am.
It’s concerning that a University would propagate uninformed perspectives such as this. I realize this is supposedly based on scholastic study, but I question the rigor and replicability of said research. (I don’t offer this feedback in ignorance; I’m a Yale graduate.)
Please educate yourself on the Neurodiversity movement, UConn. Would you say someone should “recover” from being gay, because they don’t fit in with the dominant society? I hope not. This video shows we still have a long way to go in the Neurodiversity movement.
PS: I hope my mom never tries to speak for me, an adult, the way this mom’s voice is given a platform over that of her son’s voice. I speak for myself, even when speech is hard.
Thank you for reading.
I have 2 kids going through the diagnosis & starting services process right now. Like many parents of children with ASD, our kids’ diagnosis led to discovering our own. Family of 4 with 2 autistic kids and 2 autistic adults. I wish I knew earlier because it could have saved so much heartache. Dr. C, then Dean of my medical school, in a honest conversation, said my brain wasn’t focusing and she didn’t know why. She proposed mild fetal alcohol syndrome. A decade later I learned I had ASD. She was close, suspecting a developmental disorder. It would be cruel to not try to help my children recover from as many of the symptoms as possible. It is a parent’s job to help their children thrive as much as possible and battle any diseases or “disorders” that they develop or inherit. And parents should not be subjected to the scrutiny of strangers online. It’s acceptable to hold your own opinions on the matter, but the fact that this video makes YOU feel a certain way doesn’t mean every family and individual should not do what is best for them. Can you imagine a parent saying “no, I won’t put my child into this therapy because some autistic adult online said they don’t believe in it”? We females already naturally mask symptoms which is why some of us are not discovered until adulthood, if ever. I specifically remember being different and not knowing how to fit in until high school. My masking developed as a normal process from observing / studying others and being surrounded by neurotypical peers. Life improved drastically from that. I still struggled with some things, many which had pretty profound negative consequences on my life. Some of this could have been mitigated with early detection and treatment. It’s just strange to be an autistic adult and hear some very vocal opinions that claim to speak for all adults with autism. There needs to be less bullying in the autistic community, more tolerance, and more acceptance of other people’s take on their condition. We need to learn to live and let live, supporting each person whether their end goal is to embrace their condition, embrace part of their condition, or battle it altogether.
I am also an adult with autism, add, & hdhd. I know that this is not normal & a struggle all my life. I never got help or support. Stop thinking these video is an attack but a cry to open our eyes to the decaying of this world. Good for u you overcame but others are not to lucky like u to even write a paragraph like u. Don't be the scrippling crutch of utopia. Look around... Those that are successful are those striving to be healthy who have overcome & accomplish their goals. If this boy never did he would rely on his parents his whole life. My nephews have it & will rely on his parents until the day he dies. Is that what you want? The truth is, we need to embrace individuality but recognized where the disease begin and stop trying to think everything is an attack on the person. That is scrippling & selfish & wrong thinking.
I wish with all my heart that my nephews could speak, be in sports, & could drive on their own. Be self sufficient.
Autism should be known & overcome that is strength. I'm thankful my nephew & myself have over overcome it as far as we did but i will never embrace it as my friend or who I am, it will always be a hurdle that made me who i am. I don't see cancer patients saying they are proud of having cancer but they are proud of over coming it.
@@NicoleStevensHays11x finally someone said it. Thank you.
You can't cure autism, but you can learn to mask your symptoms. I get that this video isn't bad intentioned, but it's still spreading misinformation regardless. You can definitely learn coping skills, but autism is lifelong. It can't be cured, and I don't think a cure will ever truly be possible because it affects you right down to your genetics.
And another thing, when someone says vaccines cause autism, all I hear is, "I'm willing to risk my child having a slow, painful death if it means they're not autistic!"
@@lovealeesongchannel cancer is different from autism. Cancer is something that you develop and you can overcome it, autism is something you will have forever it can cause you struggle’s but it can also cause you success but you can’t die because of it
I consider myself virtually recovered, I have my awkward moments such as stuttering, but that’s rare. I tend to obsess about things and sometimes I get annoyed when my routine is changed, but I don’t meet the criteria for the spectrum anymore.
What happened or changed that causes the recovery,?
@@HoyaZak I got therapy and support as a child, like most people on the spectrum. I was just lucky enough to loose enough symptoms as I grew up.

You can change where you're at on the spectrum but it'll always be there to some degree.
either that or he was misdiagnosed.... just saying. Autism is symptom of features and can be caused by a million different unknown etiologies. He likely had a neurological event and then recovered. His autism likely wasn't caused by the typical causes.
what are the typical issues that normally cause it ? I thought it wasn't caused
how do you mean ?
@@vvelvettearssyou are born with autism and depending on how bad you have it you can learn how to live with it (fake it till you make it basicly)
the way people are talking about their children in these comments is sickening. they have autism, not cancer. there isn't a "cure", and thats not a bad thing. the point of aba isn't about curing them. and it SHOULDN'T be about masking common autistic characteristics/traits. its about teaching critical life skills that will help people with autism live a comfortable life, and learn how to properly communicate. i'm glad more people with autism are joining this field. lets show em how its supposed to be done.
Thank you so much for talking about it, I’ve been scrolling down the comments in search of someone with common sense

Yeah its usually later before they diagnosed autism i dont agree its he recovered i agree it was a misdiagnosis
@@AutisticBrain unlikely misdiagnosis, more like bad labeling systems.....in the older days he wouldve been labeled a category 4 or 3, that is to say someone whose regardation, was caused by poverty/lack of learning opportunities & proper nutrition, as well as poverty traumas inherent in ghettos/lower cast3 geopolitical zones (stress, crime, lack of supports).....
but that when fed, housed, trained, and protected, was able to grow the brains that he didnt have time to while surviving the city hellscapes (hyperbole 4 effect) that regarded his development
and/or the infection/pollution/exposure to heavy metals/molds,/blunt force trauam/genomic switches being "off".....werent that far gone
OR maybe he got lucky with good treatment teams, remember , not all "rehabs" are equal, some are just in it for the money, some actualy care.
Just look at their patent turn over rates/success percentages, etc.
Yadda yadda something blah 😂
Utterly ridiculous. I can't believe UConn still has this video up. Giving out false hope, misinformation, and leaving a legacy of damage to those with autism and their families.
LMAOOOOOOO it's honestly embarrassing. People just don't understand and it REALLY damages us
Thank you
I agree I have autism on a minor level but still have it and it's silly to say you can cure something like a MENTAL DISORDER
This is literally just intensive masking and it results in awful anxiety and ptsd. Autism is not bad and it cannot be cured.

I’m not necessarily saying the guys story is fake but there’s no way to “recover” from autism (in my opinion looking at it as some kind of damage in the first place is wrong but that’s a different story) it seems far more likely that what this guy had was slowed mental development which I believe can be caused by autism. Most of the imagery of what would more explicitly come off as autistic seems to come from when he was a baby or a young child. Just because his development was slowed doesn’t mean it never was going to happen. I’m not saying I necessarily know this guys situation but it appears to me that him getting to this point would have happened regardless of well anything. He is still developing mentally just slower than the average person. This also doesn’t mean he doesn’t have autism anymore either. A combination of masking and also just Time for him to develop probably lessened or even completely hid some symptoms. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it anymore. Autism cannot just go away
The only remaining signs of autism I have left are intense anxiety and uncontrollable hand gestures. The hand gestures I reckon I can fix but the anxiety is probably the human side of me
The uncontrollable hand gestures sounds like tics
The hand gestures are probably stimming. A autistic way to deal with stress and stuff (:
@@nicholaslandry6367 not necessarily it could just be stimming, my son stims with his hands whenever he sees something sensory.
Why do you want to get rid of it though? If you can live a happy independent life, who cares about the rest? If my 3 year old son could live an independent life - I’d be over the moon, I wouldn’t ask for anything more, sadly though I doubt he’ll ever be able to talk in full sentences, despite being hyperlexic and quite bright, I know he’ll definitely be able to read - cuz he can read and spell a few words now.
Which leads me to why I’m commenting, I wanted to ask if you always had mild autism? Did you have trouble talking? Cuz it seems to me these gains are really only relevant to those with mild autism.
@@Vgallo "uncontrollable"
Look into B1 and all the B sentiments. B1 is great for anxiety. We will always be Autistic.p It;s out brain design. But we need different things than the average person for many reasons.

This is NOT how any of this works. If a person has autism, it’s for life. If they suddenly “get better” it’s because they are masking their condition. Masking will make things much much worse in the long run. It hurts their chances at actually being a functional adult.
Please, this is coming from an autistic adult that can’t function in this society due to constant trauma from growing up in a household that wouldn’t even try to understand me. I masked my true self for decades to my ultimate detriment. I suffered for that long without anybody knowing I was suffering, so no one knew how to help me or saw it coming when I cracked.
The behavior that we autistic people exhibit IS NOT voluntary. We literally CAN’T be any other way. However, the behavior can be directed to be more healthy and less destructive with positive reinforcement, compassion, and love.
Please do more research to learn how you can change YOUR behavior to actually help your kid. If you follow this advice, you’ll find the results will give you AND your child peace, as well as make him or her a more well-rounded individual that can cope with whatever life has to throw at them.
I believe it's a set of deficiencies. As we develop our nutritional needs increase, so if there's not enough resources,the development is halted.
I once was high functioning and then from many factors, illness, medications, mold in our home and my diet I hit a severe dysregulation , now I'm disabled. That is prison and I'll do anything to recover.
And don't tell me it's neurodivergence when I could travel and study , loved parties and now my ASD and ADHD are dialed up where I can even barely speak on the phone, or even the sound of rustling paper bag is making me mental
You dont recover,
You cope.
Ask me because I know what its like personally.
THANK YOU!!
What do you mean?
Well this young man did recover from autistic tendencies early in life...but mine was different. I did after I turned 18 (years not months). I was diagnosed to be moderate in the spectrum. It was an uphill journey with a curve reminiscent of a logarithmic one...and when you think you reached it's just the local maxima and nowhere near the stereotypical 'normal'. But then the theory of mind started naturally in me as I paid more and more attention to how my mind worked and how other people's did...and guess what I'm 21 and a normal guy now...at least much in comparison. So yeah, that's the key...paying attention since it has no equal
How did you did it? Do you have any kind of treatment or therapy?diet plan?
Hi Rupaj, can you elaborate how you were able to help yourself?
Well my friends I am from India and there is this science called Yoga...one part of it is focussing on your vital energies or Vayus so I did through certain Pranayamas and achieved a certain state of mental stability...hope that helped
Theory of mind is debunked my friend. We do not have trouble with that.
There is no way to cure the way your brainz are inside your head. Jake from the video has a deathstare in his eyes and it is creaping me out. He still is autistic he just got traumatized by ABA for showing it. Saying he is cured is maybe his only way out of the abuse so the therapy finally stops.
Yoga is great! Tai-chi is also great! Autistics often have trouble knowing where their body starts and where it ends, stuff like yoga heals that connection! :) im 33 and def not cured and i am the happiest i have ever been.

im sorry to say this bbut those kind of videos are horrible cause autistic people don't need to be cured cause autism isn't some kind of sickness it's just that your brain works a bit different. as an autistic person myself i recommend that you go to a psygologist with your son because that really helps. don't take me wrong im not saying that people with autismcan't find a way to live their lives more normal but that only happens when the autistic person has the right help to help him work together with autism instead of trying to act normal. im saying this cause many autistic people who go in those kind of 'help' centers get traumatized, depressed and sometimes even k1ll themselves cause they can't live the life they are supposed to with all the understanding and help it needs so please try to find real autistic people and ask them how they live happy
i wish you the best
@@doomerdsbm I'm going to book mark this given what my experience with changing diet so far has been
I got an autism diagnosis and the symptoms gave ruined my life ! gave me depression, severe anxiety sometimes paranoia and exhaustion and inability to function normally
I'm 32 now. It absolutely is an illness it's a neurological DYSFUNCTION
and it makes people's lives hard and they suffer and become traumatised as a result . If not from the symptoms themselves then from the feelings of alienation that being asocial or awkward brings.
At a later stage in life I have so much catching up to do because of this fucking disease (Aspergers specifically) that left me with a lot of broken relationships and failures in my wake.
On top of that I also have to convince my sister who really suffered as a girl because I was an asshole selfish child towards her which I'm deeply sorry for - that the person I was then no longer applies to me and she doesn't need to treat me differently any more or "just accept me for who I am" and pity me (last time I visited there I had a break down and she had to support me) same with my dad who I feel pity from
she's my little sibling and had to become the older one to accommodate us when it should have been me taking care of her before and now.
It makes me sad it turned out like if did how can i turn that around ?
No one should have to accept or live by masking , who wants to live that way ?
That's not living !
We should definatley try to cure it if it's at all possible
My son have suffered autism spectrum since childhood and Have battled with it all his life. But recently taking of dr oyalo herbs have help his get rid of it completely, his speech is vibal and his behavior is ok. I’m so glad and happy now

Does gfcf diet works?
It's painful to know that ABA is literally the most effective treatment for autism, yet there is a contingent that is extremely loud and almost exclusively self diagnosed as Autistic saying it is evil and detrimental. They typically seem to also deal with gender dysphoria and are co-opting our community to further exercise personal control over others.
"Recovery" is simply becoming skilled at masking. Having autism means having intellectual strengths that are greater than neurotypical persons, however the cost is social acuity. We should celebrate and cherish the traits of all of our special people, rather than reinforce the idea that they are fundamentally "sick", they are different, and of value.
Autism is a disorder in the first place, and like all disorders, it necessarily causes suffering. If there is no suffering, it's not autism.
@@ratratte autism is only a disorder because the world around us is inaccessible. autism is neither a blessing nor a curse. are you autistic? if not, how could you possibly know the joys of autism?
?? I don’t think you have autism lol
@@ratratte It causes suffering because of the NTs and the environmental sensitivities. Take these away, there is no disorder or disability.
@@Enoch1970 Let's compare it to a disorder which I have - it's a congenital colon malformation, and it causes serious constipation if I eat wrong food (chocolate, rice, dairy, meat) or do wrong exercises. Basically, I have chronic constipation which can only be relieved, but it will never go away, so all like autism. But it has never come to my mind to consider myself healthy and call myself colon-divergent, or blame the environment and those non-constipated people who dare to eat chocolate, and, oh gosh, they dare to call people who don't poop like everyone else constipated. I don't say that if the environment catered to my needs and allowed me to fart in public places I would be totally healthy.

I only recently found out that I'm autistic and I have 30 years on this Earth I'm a high functioning autistic I can tell you right now you don't stop being autistic you just get better at faking it that you're normal you get better at masking I'm glad that this video was 7 years ago and not current. Because it would be sad to see people think that autism is something that can be cured it is a permanent brain abnormality and it cannot be fixed without literally replacing the brain which is thank God not a real practice in this day and age. I really do find this to be how should I put it insulting it seems more like forcing people to mask. I have life I always knew I was different always knew I didn't think the same way I acted differently but mimicry was something that I picked up most high functioning autistic people look completely normal the majority of the time because they're capable of hiding masking society expects people to all act the same when it comes to going along with the normal nerotypical. You can't cure autism it is not something to be cured it is something to understand I know a lot of people who struggle wish there was a way to be normal but just accept who you are and try to better yourself. I hate it when people think there's a cure for literally a different brain structure that is literally perfectly fine the way it is
this is so horrible and abusive. autism is not a disease, we don't need a cure, we need acceptance and accommodations.
My daughter needs a cure. She can’t use the bathroom, she doesn’t fear danger or moving vehicle. She can’t communicate her pain in any form. So she does.stop being self righteous
It does need a cure. And it can be cured. This is what acceptance means.
I disagree and your making a fool of yourself I have autism and I don't want it I wish there was a cure it's to hard with this
I can see where you’re coming from. Since the spectrum is so wide, I do agree: for those who may be lower functioning and have more severe autism we do need accommodations and acceptance! For those who may have the chance to recover and live a more fulfilling life without symptoms of ASD of course still deserve acceptance and accommodations, but why not try to help them recover? If it’s possible, why not? As a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) on the track to becoming a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) I’d 100% hope anyone with autism who wants to try recovery and can should take those steps and therapy :) if not, hey love them the way they are
With a son that can’t speak and bangs his head bloody I can assure you that you’re not right about every case
It’s abuse NOT to do something in some cases

Same, I feel for the children that are forced to go through this treatment
I know of Christopher Soppet at Autism Recovery Coach, he is amazing!
“Cured” is different from “recovered”. I read comments that thinks ABA is the cure. It’s only the 1st step to recovery. Autism needs ST, OT, special diet and medical intervention too, Not just behavioral intervention.
If there would be a "cure" I would want to never get it.
@@TheaPeanut_69old give me the vaccine I want to level up.
ABA is a very traumatic environment for us. Please research into it. It can lead to PTSD and Social issues/ behavior issues in kids. A lot of people nowadays consider it to be child abuse.
@@Slomurr sorry to hear that. ABA is the therapy, maybe the people (behavior analyst, behavioral tech, etc) are the ones that make it traumatic. Some techs/ analysts have different approach though.
You can’t “recover” from autism. But you can manage the symptoms and become more “high functioning “. But you’re still autistic. He’ll always be autistic and that’s ok. Nothing wrong with that.
You need to find what works out for you. Meds didn't help me at all. All they did was mess me up cos I couldn't live without them. You should try natural medication (microdosing psylocibin mushroom). It's really helped me and I've seen alot of people it's helped.

I don’t understand how anyone can make a video on autism and have such annoying music in the background. I’m not claiming to have autism. But I feel my head is being whacked from both sides. Surely, autistic people may also have sensory sensitivities depending on severity of their condition. So why not take this into consideration when producing online content?
Autism is a neurodevelopmental lifelong condition. We don't 'recover' from autism. My guess is that this person was misdiagnosed.

We are sensitive to things and can get frustrated. Keto is excellent for us but age may be a factor. Avoid carbs and sugars. High protien, healthy fats, greens and B vitamins. B1 is excellent for anxiety. Go as natural as possible. Also Yoga, QIgong, Tai Chi. Nutrition is a big deal. We often are not getting what wew need for a variety of reasons.These are my basics. I have both ADHD and am Autistic. So I take ADHD meds.
Please don't delude yourself that there is a cure for autism. You can improve symptoms dramatically to the point that they a person achieves greater social markers for 'normality', but the core is still there. It was never autism if it's cured!
Another fact, Rainman, as quoted in the video was never autistic; the character played by Dustin Hoffman was based in main on someone with Fragile X Syndrome. The claim on the video jacket of autism is inaccurate; Fragile X Syndrome wouldn't sell the same. Popular film cyphers are not helpful here - and have been used to create fear od social rejection, and sell a lot of medical advice that only hurts the autistic for a collective vanity of 'normality'. 'This normalisation' hurts autistic folk, whatever there function or need level is.

There's no cure, for some, it's adaptation and tolerance to stimuli. It is achieved by intensive early childhood intervention, most importantly ABA techniques before the age of 3.

This is just so awful. Autism is a developmental difference and not something to be “cured”. What is needed is acceptance from society. How insulting to autistic people. Maybe what you are trying to achieve is helping people on the spectrum with severe social communication impairment to improve their social skills or mask their symptoms. But to suggest a “recovery” or “cure” is incredibly insulting and damaging. Ableist bullshit.
My opinion: "Cure" makes sense if it's your healthiest, happiest self - however that expresses. Folks with ASD often have health issues (gut problems, seizures, sleep disorders, anxiety) that deserve attention and treatment. Also, if someone wants to expand their friendships, they should have help available. However, I believe that "developmental difference" can be that magic spark in creativity and genius.
@@leannlundberg3804 I, respectfully, disagree wholeheartedly with your opinion. I am also assuming that you are not autistic... would that be a fair assumption? What you are suggesting is so incredibly insulting. Autism cannot be “cured” or “fixed”, this is scientific fact. It is an innate, unchangeable neurological difference. What you may be able to do is treat any physical symptoms that manifest through anxiety, stimming, etc. which may improve an autistic person’s quality of life. What you may also be able to achieve is to assist autistic people with adapting their behaviours to fit better with society’s view of what is appropriate.This may achieve better outcomes if rating purely on scale of how neurotypical “success” is measured. However, it comes at the severe cost of creating a whole other set of traumas and identity crises for autistic people. What you are suggesting is like saying: Black people statistically experience higher rates of poverty, higher instances of illness and violence, have lower life expectancy and lower quality of life. Therefore, we will bleach their skin making them white and “cure” them of their problems. Does that sound offensive to you? If so, then you need to reflect on what you are suggesting here, because it is along exactly the same lines of logic.

Even our relationship with the family also affected and misjudged. It was terrible traumatic that affect my personal life and one day how will I get the shit outta it...
@Pateck Aaron Oyalo herbal? How legit it is that
This isn't about you. Your brother has and always will be autistic. You and your family need to learn to accept it. Your brother can mask his symptoms, but he is still autistic. Masking our symptoms isn't a cure, but rather a mimicary of our environment. Your brother will still get distressed by lights and sounds, but he'll learn to suffer his distress in silence due to the feedback from his peers. We have meltdowns not for the attention but rather a response from something we feel threatened by. Ignoring our distress can cause psychological trauma. You wouldn't ignore a baby's cry because you deem it annoying, would you? I suggest you take the time to figure out what is causing your brother distress instead of wandering how to fix him. Listening to his needs would cause both your and your brothers' relationship to grow. Autism isn't a disease. Your brother is autistic and that is who he is. Calling his Autism a disease is also calling him one as well. If you're annoyed by your brother's breakdowns, think of what he's going through. You think it's annoying whilst your brother is calling for help from whatever is that's distressing him. Yelling at him or restraining him will make things worse. Instead, I suggest you take him someplace quiet where he can calm down.

We think is because she is growing but her communication skills are not equal in this aging evolution. I have tried everything but nothing helps, does anyone faced this issue as well?
My brother used to do this as well but instead of other kids he did this so my sister and mom. He is now 4 1/2 and does not do that anymore. He is in school for half of the day and does ABA, speech, and occupational therapy and he has changed very much. He sometimes plays around kids but overall he is fine around everyone.

I don’t know anyone that can get access to over 40+ hours of Aba a week in my country.
You guys are soo lucky in America.
@Fatima Mustapha mala I’m highly skeptical of someone that can “ reverse” autism with “ herbs”, sounds extremely Suspect, how do you know your sons development wasn’t already on that trajectory?
It's not luck it's his family's wealth/dedication of parents. Most American children (particularly women) are under diagnosed/misdiagnosed and are not given support. Most of us have had to white-knuckle it throughout our lives and pretend to be neurotypical if we are "high functioning" (this is not a true term) usually classified as autism I, formerly known as Aspergers.
@@absolutelyfab I’ve spoken to lots of parents in America and they all get access to up to 40 hours of aba. That doesn’t happen in Australia, we’d be lucky to just get it let alone getting 40 hours.
Although I think the aba that my son gets is probably better than the aba that a lot of Americans get access too.
@@Vgallo I am American. I was not diagnosed in school. I struggled, but I was placed in the “gifted” program for my high IQ and treated like somewhat of a prodigy. Even though I displayed signs of autism from a young age, biases (subtle racism), the pressure to be obedient, abuse and neglect, the fact that I’m a woman, and the rate of teachers/administrations being ignorant of symptoms, cause many people to never receive help. You should already know how garbage the American public education system is. Plus people who are white and/or are of a certain socio-economic background will have access to “better” schools and will be oblivious to what I am privy to. I was not formally diagnosed until I was 30, and it’s through trauma and hard lessons I’ve been able to make a way in the world on my own.
Edit: I see now that you are arguing over legal qualifications/provisions for ABA in the United States. My argument is more so the fact that we have a education system problem where students who actually have the neurological disorder that classifies them as Autism I, that goes generally unnoticed unless (being hyperbolic) you are a white boy that is obsessed with trains. Where teachers spend more time with kids than their actual parents they should address how that gets handled. But also there is no “cure”, people who appear “high functioning” often hide anxiety, depression, and compulsive disorders that they get from having the stress to mask - to maintain the facade that they are like everyone else.
@@absolutelyfab no your mistaken, this has nothing to do with sex or race, or society, it’s about your parents. We pushed for our sons early diagnosis at 18 months.
Also in the past parents just didn’t have the knowledge or understanding to push for diagnosis. So you can’t be too hard on your parents, they and society were ignorant, they just didn’t know what they didn’t know.
It’s got nothing to do with race or gender, you need to forget that crap. We didn’t think to get our son diagnosed because he was white or a male, we thought to get him diagnosed because he was our child and we wanted to help him. My wife was also undisguised her whole life and has struggled WITH EVERYTHING- it wasn’t society or the fact she was a woman- it WAS HER IDIOT PARENTS, but you know what they too went through something similar and probably thought they were giving their daughter a better chance than what they had- and so did their parents, both my wife’s grandparents and parents had to endure many more hardships which is why they were so uncaring themselves- WE WANT TO BREAK THE CYCLE, and you know what it’s the same for me, my parents and my grandparents. So pls stop with this “society is against me” I know this is what many therapists are teaching autistic people and it’s absolutely toxic, this is the therapists activism/politics being pushed into their clients, we’ve already told all my sons therapists we won’t have any of this delusion around our child, it’s just so wrong and so poisonous, I really hope you learn to get past it, because it will only turn you cynical. The truth is most people are doing the best they can with what they have.
And my wife is also a female of “colour”, but this is totally irrelevant crt nonsense. Also our son is 3, so it’s a very different time now, everyone has more insight and awareness and we are just more fortunate than you that our son is growing up in this time and not the time we both grew up in- when I was young there was a white boy at my school that was definitely autistic - but none of us knew, he didn’t know and his parents didn’t either, and I’m ashamed to say there were times when we all picked on him cuz we just thought he didn’t try enough, or didn’t care enough to do the things we did to fit in, I no wish I could contact him today and apologise for what he put up with and there’s no excuse I know, but we had no idea- we certainly didn’t sit theyr and think “ oh he’s a male and he’s white- so we’re going to go easier on him” most people do not think like this, especially in the last 50 years. So he was also undiagnosed and he went to a poor rural school, so you see it’s just not accurate to think it’s about your gender or skin colour.
Schools shouldn’t be diagnosing or have any responsibility to diagnose, that’s not the job of the state, it’s the parents, if the school is having to do this then something has gone wrong at home. Because I will admit I know other parents who just bury their heads in the sand, they just can’t deal with anything extra- particularly if their child could potentially be disabled, it’s too much, not everyone is as aware as my wife and I- even though I think that’s their job as a parent and really there’s no excuse, but I think we’re so hyper aware because of the struggles of being undiagnosed ourselves, cuz we’re both on the spectrum.
Sorry for the wall of text - but I’m on the spectrum too. Once it gets going it’s hard to stop 🤣
Shat is the secret treatment of this person
is that supposed top be funny?
@@BYGODYOUARESPECIAL1 What is supposed to be funny?
I do know someone who had the same outcome. And he also had intense ABA.
Me also Autism 😭😭😭
You’re not broken. You’re normal, don’t worry
You can't cure it. That is just as stupid as if someone is saying they have a cure for personality and for feelings.
Why so many people say autism is a thing and should be accepted, there is a fantasy that autistic “people” or those with the sense of acting as an autist in some cases in the person
Anyways my point is if you’re an autist does it make you smarter or is it an issue you should fight
It’s not a plus point that that you got an offside doesn’t mean you gonna be good at other things in fact the hard reality
Mate did you really just put “people” in quotations. Autistic people are real and they’re not stupid or broken
The only way is to get treated asap
but be careful, "functioning in a way" doesnt mean the same as "is actually experiencing the world as a " neurotypical). ALWAYS ASK THE AUTISTIC PERSON.
Woooo.... its amazing.. my son, zaki. He is ASD..
My children were not autistic until they were vaccinated
Waooo thank you so much..
It’s not impossible dear ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for sharing..I gives me hope for my son.stay blessed
If your son has autism then let him have autism. Im sorry for saying this but you cant cure it. The closest thing is to mask it, hide it away, but that is like hidding his whole personality and that is very bad for his mental health. Please don’t hate me.
My son have suffered autism spectrum since childhood and Have battled with it all his life. But recently taking of dr oyalo herbs have help his get rid of it completely, his speech is vibal and his behavior is ok. I’m so glad and happy now
Suffered?
Excuse me
@@bolinhong2598 bro youre talking as if he has a bad disease- autism is NOT a disease istg i can get so mad when people say things like this😫
I think I conquered my tism when I quit drinking and opened myself to deeper emotions and Christ to each their own.
Autism is not caused by drinking bro. I have never drunken once in my life and I am Christian and yet I am still autistic. (I guess technically I have taken communion wine) if The word of Jesus somehow motivated you or stopping alcohol lessened your symptoms then I am happy for you but there is no cure for autism. And maybe this is just my view but I don’t view it as something to conquer or something wrong. Honestly (and I am referring specifically to less extreme examples of autism) no problems or struggle is caused by being autistic. It’s purely social norms that make it out as some demon to conquer. I’m not really great at talking about religion despite my faith but I guess the best way I can put it is that I would imagine Jesus not caring about social norms. I would imagine he wouldn’t see autism or autistic traits as something to be changed or edited. Of course that’s just me.
I've always been an oddball with a stutter and made it through Marine bootcamp. I have a weird take on religion but have faith.
Nothing is impossible with God and if you believe it!
according to this logic it would have also been god that gave us autism though? the fuck?
thx for help xddddddd imm still autsim LLLLLL
