I work in applied behavior analysis, and i once had an in-home client with autism that would literally call his mother a milf right in front of her. Even that was probably one of the more tame things he said, the amount of things he said that were totally out of line, just out of pocket were crazy lol. Ie. telling your mother you wished she was dead, I'm not kidding. And these are very smart kids mind you. It’s the worst when you see a young nonverbal boy that remains fixated to a tablet for 80% of their waking hours. It’s sad

So we spend like 30 minutes getting the bikes ready and everything, and then he gets on the bike, says it hurts his balls, threw the bike on the ground, kicked it, said he wasn’t going anymore, and went inside. After I spent so much time adjusting his chair and everything so he’d be comfortable. I’ll be honest that day I was about to just call it quits.

Im a Zoomer, I grew up in the countryside and didn't have access to wifi until I was 18 and moved to town and I'm now in my early 20s. The only social media I've ever had is Gmail, KZread and WhatsApp. The reality is that it doesn't matter if you stay away from these things because everyone else won't. I'm the weird one to most people because most people my age are "autistic" internet addicts. This world is never going to go in reverse, this is now the new normal and every generation that follows will be like this. I fear that within my lifetime there'll be a day when having an Instagram or Facebook will be necessary to have jobs or access other things and since I've never had either I won't be able to take part, much like how someone can't travel without a passport and so on and having to start one at this age will mean I'll literally be behind ten year olds who've been on social media for more years than me because it's just normal to them

This video nicely explains the way of chronically online people to describe themselves as autistic. I'm rather certain at this point that I'm not on the spectrum (was never diagnosed) but growing up on the internet has moved my personality in a direction that coincides with many traits of autistic people.

Gonna chime in as a 23yo who found out this year that I’m autistic (knew about adhd already). You’re right on the mark that autism is essentially just a different type of person than non-autistic (allistic) people. There’s visible differences between the brainscans of autistic and allistic people, notably that the autistic brain features irregular hyper and hypo connectivity. This can manifest into all sorts of people, including people who are disabled on both the medical and social models that need lots of support to live, and it can manifest into the type of person who affects humanity on the scale of Einstein, or Mozart, or Elon Musk, or whoever. However we’re not all a little autistic, as shown by the comparison of autistic and allistic brain scans. It’s a spectrum because autism can manifest in many ways, including seemingly opposite ways. For example, some autistic people have little empathy, some have way more empathy than is regular. Same is true with iq, that the standard deviation of iqs of autistic people is greater than that of allistic. It’s a spectrum like a color wheel, not a gradient that goes from 0 autistic to 100 autistic, and there’s no X% autistic. You are right though that the Internet and the modern age can make certain negative traits manifest way worse tho. I learned I was autistic after moving to a new city, where I lived alone, worked semi-remotely, and spent lots of time coping as you’d say. In this environment, which would be shitty for most people anyway, I entered a neurological state called autistic burnout, where I became a shell of my normal self in terms of functionality. I was a perfect ACT kid played sports year round, had good social life, in hs and college. No one thought of me as disabled. But the environment I entered after college was a gateway to catastrophe for my mental health. That being said, I was just as autistic before - I just didn’t know it. It wasn’t causing as much trouble in my life, so I didn’t find out. However, even when I was fine, autism was effecting my in many ways good and bad that I didn’t know about, and knowledge about it would’ve greatly helped my know how to live my life. People saw the good, but no one saw the bad, and those struggles went unseen. Even very ‘successful’, sociable, seemingly ‘normal’ autistic people are at the end of the day autistic, and there are still unique challenges associated with that. Tho I believe my gifts outweigh my weaknesses.

I've debated with myself since I was 15 if I have autism or not. Since I'm clearly not normal like I have zero social skills and idk I just act differently and I don't like it. But I'm still normal enough for to think "what if I'm just weird?" About a year I heard MemeAnalysis come up with an idea of Media Indused Autism. And I think he might be spitting facts a bit. It might be because I spent my childhood playing video games and browsing the internet 24/7 instead of going outside playing and socialising with other kids. Idk maybe I'm just brain damaged when I fell out a car when I was 5. Keep preaching gerbil

I think this has kinda happened to me. I used to be quite a different person when I was younger, far more sociable and talkative than I am now, and I think a big part of that is simply that I didn't have the internet back then. As an example, whenever I wanted to hang out with my friends I'd actually go out and play with them IRL, but in my teenage years I'd basically just stay inside and play with my friends online, and I guess I just forgot how to communicate with people in the real world.

Its covid that messed ya’ll up. Spending 1+ multiple years talking nobody but your parents or online friends seriously messes up with your social skills.
You say that the internet increases autistic tendencies in people who already have it, but I give you this: A large amount of "autistic traits" are not always indicative of autism and can be adopted by any person, especially based on circumstances (like the internet). Some doctors are really quick to throw around the autism diagnosis. They might see a person who can actually be cured of their social issues and weird anxieties and just diagnose them with autism, making the person think they can't be fixed which causes them to just embrace these issues and in turn make them worse. So basically the internet (and other things) is fully capable of making a "neurotypical" person become autist-like.
kinda agree and relate too, before becoming chronically online my attention span, dopamine levels and social skills were all normal
Have you ever considered a live Q&A? I love you content dude, as a 23 year old guy, hearing someone around my age have the ability to articulate thought the way that you do makes me feel a little less lonely in this crazy ahh world.

As someone who was diagnosed with fairly severe inattentive type ADHD at a young age, I believe ADHD is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions out there. A lot of the people diagnosed these days, similar to anxiety and depression, are experiencing the consequences of poor health and a poor environment, and treating it with drugs that will help even people without the condition “focus.” For me ADHD is less about “attention” and ability to sustain focus, and much more about executive function, time blindness, an inability to organize and retain information in memory, and a difficult time maintaining a coherent train of thought in situations where it’s necessary. Medication helps with this but imo many of the drugs on the market for ADHD don’t treat the more severe issues that come with it, which a lot of the time feel closer to how people describe brain damage than a simple issue with attention regulation or impulsivity. Basically, I think there’s a lot more going on that science doesn’t really understand, or doesn’t want to understand yet because of the implications. Check out the correlation between traumatic brain injury and ADHD diagnosis sometime. There’s also the theory that at some point, the dominance of agriculture as opposed to hunting and gathering ended up favoring certain brain types over others, and a lot of the characteristics that would be beneficial pre-agriculture are now treated as “conditions.” I don’t really know what to believe myself, but it’s interesting to think about regardless.
I have a hypothesis, from my lived experiences and people I’ve met, that ADHD people are actually more talkative, more socially active, and can make new friends with relative ease. I feel like the people with ADHD that I witnessed in school most often appeared to have very low social inhibitions and would more often than others speak their thoughts which can be very helpful in consistently making new human connections. This also could be a case where these kids that I noticed were the ones that had the least shame about their ADHD because they were just socially skilled and fairly popular people. I do not have ADHD and I feel like I’m pretty mid at making new friends. Most of my friends are very close and I’ve known them since childhood. College and being on a sports team definitely helped me make close friends there though because otherwise I likely would not have cared to make new friendships.

I think the problem is people can be generally unkind to others. Autistic, incel, alpha, sigma, smegma, this and that - those are just labels. People who genuinely use those terms don’t interest me, they are misguided and are missing the point of life. Anyone who keeps peddling the notion that nowadays many are autistic doesn’t help the problem, instead making it kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes I really wish this bullshit would end.

Really interesting observation about different comment sections, but spot on
you've already made me overthink so many choices in my life.. e.g. I'm working in the game dev industry and thought it's cute, computer graphics are cool, and gamers can have fun (though I'm myself anybody but a gamer), nice. Now I'm thinking bout switching to another industry.. realized it may not align with my values🤔 don't like the idea it makes so many people escape reality, lose real-life social skills, etc. idk why I decided to write it under this video, haha let it be, thanks for the videos. girls may enjoy them too!!

Gerby's content isn't gendered since men don't have an automatic in group bias (own group preference)
loved the end really much!! keep these outros up :^)
For real, I used to be really socially anxious and awkward. I played video games, played piano, and loved youtube. Somewhat isolated and quiet. The last week or so, I've worked as a door to door salesmen, CONSTANTLY talking to people or coworkers and very little social media usage. Socially, it's become so much easier talking to people - no anxiety. I've also gotten better at speaking itself and formulating sentences. Get a face to face sales job, young men!!

That's an interesting jump to door to door sales. I was put in a similar situation a few times with a few jobs I had, and I got good at challenging my social anxiety. One company I worked for made it hard, based on unappealing limits on product options, while another company made it easy, because I had a lot more flexibility
DAYTIME GERBERT VIDEO
Papa Gerby lookin' like a double wide surprise as always
It's important to understand that the groundwork for ADHD is laid in very early childhood and even infancy. It begins when you don't have a substantial connection with your primary caregiver, usually mother. Mothers love to pawn their children off to day care and/or a plethora of random babysitters and whatnot and are never there for their children. The children then develop problems with connection and trust; they can't rely on their primary caregiver to be there for them when they're under stress. From a very young age, you're shown that you can't depend on other people to be constants in your life and instead have to rely solely on yourself for comfort. ADHD is ultimately a stress response; you move, speak, and think very quickly when you're upset by something in order to get away from it, even if it's only subconsciously. You can't depend on others so you have to take on all stress by yourself, which means you have to juggle all sorts of things all the time. It's no wonder why effectively being abandoned by your parents at a very young age is at least highly correlated with ADHD. Even fully formed adults have a very hard time dealing with the stress of life completely by themselves.

I feel like my ADHD makes me have more cognitive dissonance than most people and I have to spend an hour or two by myself to fix it so I don’t go insane

ADHD is hereditary, it's more likely that the parents are pawning off their kids to daycare because of untreated/undiagnosed ADHD, and the children have ADHD anyway because of genetics + the environment doesn't help either.

The thing about autism being linked to a weak connection with a primary caregiver makes a lot of sense considering that 1.) men are much more likely to have autism and 2.) infant boys are much less likely to experience emotional mirroring (think matching a baby's emotions when they make silly faces) from their primary caregivers than infant girls. I really recommend the book "Real Boys" by William Pollack on this subject if you have an interest in child psychology, societal expectations for men, or male emotional patterns.

Man exactly what’s been on my mind
When MTV came out the music videos and shows featured a lot faster cuts then the shows that came before. This meant that even before social media people's attention spans were already being cut in half. It has been a long decline into lessening everyone's focus, not just the younger generation that MTV was catered for.
I literally went to TikTok 6 times during this video, each time for around 16 minutes. The irony
we makin it out the hood with this one gerby
The social cues one happened to me when kiddo, I literally thought we should talk to people like they do in TV shows.
Continue your work keep it up
This video was very well articulated and informative thank you!!! Thanks for the acknowledgement that woman are more socially calibrated and they are also more socially active which explains why males are being diagnosed more with autism.
Gerbie we missed you
GERB is back! THANK GAWD!
Dude not gonna lie, I do have a bit of the 'tism not that much that is a problem but also it's not nonexistent. For me that hyper focus is an extremely powerful way to get work done. I remember staying up all night doing an 8 hour deep work session without being exhausted, now yeah it's true that it is way harder to do other type of work but it is still a plus for me. Amazing vid Gerberit 👏👌

I've always noticed this topic happening in the background but knew i could never actually discuss it with anyone without being labeled a schizo and im genuinely so glad SOMEONE ANYONE is actually bringing this massive issue to light.

I just stumbled upon this video and this dude is brilliant.
I fucking love this channel lad
I what he's trying to say BUT here are just some more things tk think about. *ADHD is also genetic *Environmental factors increasing risk ADHD include brian injury and lead *Your ADHD would have gotten worse as you aged because you went through puberty (scientifically proven) *Don't think developmental disorders are necessarily CAUSED by your environment *I do believe the internet would have heightened symptoms of ADHD and possible autism *Correlation doesnt mean causation. Could have been a coincidence that there was a rise in ADHD and autism study when the internet increased in popularity as it would be easier to exhange research. First autism diagnosis was only in 1940s while ADHD was in 1902. I don't think its fair to say he internet CAUSED more autism but it could have lead to more research on it and possibly heightened symptoms
I love Gerbie what a goat
10:30 couldn't have said it better. A couple months ago I was in a relationship with a girl who had strong symptoms of autism but she was never diagnosed. Whenever we would hangout she would just show me tiktoks that would reference extremely esoteric and niche internet culture content. I remember once we were out in this forested park area, walking along this path and she saw a bench, walked over to it, and for the next hour just watched these random ass tiktoks while I sat beside her pretending to care and laugh.
never been diagnosed, but I definitely have something, me my friends and family are sure of it. I found guns through the internet, being an Australian living in the city I wouldn't have discovered the hobbies otherwise. I love it, I spend hour reading operating manuals and wiki pages, I signed up to a gun club and now I'm interning and fixing up guns. Bit of a ramble but people can find obsessions other than video games and anime through the internet overall gud video. luv u bb xx
Fr. I feel like going to a movie theater has become even more enjoyable now than it used to be since it forces me to actually put my phone away and pay attention to one movie for a few hours. If I ever watch TV at home, I'm on my phone, and I never watch movies at home bc I can't stay engaged throughout it

Yo gotta say your rao game is stepping up. I feel like you should start writing some of that down and produce a whoooole thääng 🤙🤙🤙🤙
im a adhd autistic person and it hurts to relate so much to what you're say but unable to change it.
bro really be speakin like fr 😩💀🥶
I personally think I'm naturally autistic, because I would bite my left hand whenever I would get upset, which I have scars from. Making eerie noises, whenever I found something funny as a kid. Feel real disconnected to this rock we're living on at 21. Help.
Thanks for saving tha world
Bro is one of the realest KZreadrs ong
Gerby u gotta get that guitar in the back on the rap action
I was diagnosed with adhd too, I agree with a lot that you said. It comes with the territory😎
gerb needs some real jams to throw in his lyrical masterpiece
the intro raps always hit different
“The twin towers fell and that was not great” HEAT
Good day for an upload
My main man Gerby knows Björk? How splendid
snap!this man decided to just upload
I was given a tablet when I was like 8 yrs old because my parents hate me and it made me be quiet in the corner spent so much time on KZread it semi ruined me, but the people on the internet have raised me well I relate to not being able to talk to or relate to people if their not talking about or into what I'm interested in its hard no one's into learning languages, math, programing or making things like cameras and video games I think repetition and restricted interest help you in life also used to do the same thing with my hands when I was kid
My favorite part was when Gerbert gerberted and said “It’s Gerbin’ time!”
That green hair Bjork bar was unironically good
Growing up chronically on-line, the hypothesis that excessive internet use causes something similar to autism on people was always running in the back of my mind.
2 weeks streak , im going offfff
#based Gerb does it again 💣
Finally another vid
14:35 is NOT a stretch at all, the repetition of internet language is sicken at times especially with short form and tiktok comments, it’s like the ppl who comment under videos don’t have half a brain or just say something like “w vid” or something else similar it’s annoying, it’s like ppl don’t know how to actually appreciate and express what they are watching so they just comment something like “w vid” or “gyat” idk it’s just dumb to me
