There is a possibility that this project was brought to life to spend the remaining budget of the institute because otherwise their funding for the coming year would be cut down. What do you do with your dumbass undergrads that are useless apart from learning things by heart? Let them cook SOMETHING maybe they'll learn something. Here...they learned how to damage mice and (this I can't explain) that no one bats an eye that their understanding of what autism is worse than your racist uncle's.

Throwing some of my analysis and opinions to the mix, as an autistic bio scientist from a non-neuro field: They were studying the effects of mutations in a single gene ( MYT1L ) on human neurons in cell culture and on mice. Some behavioral markers in the mice with MYT1L defects were similar to autistic traits, according to their interpretation, which is both very problematic as Sam explains and unfortunately pretty standard for this field. They never call it an "autism mouse model" or "autistic mice" in the paper itself as far as I can tell, but the media surrounding it definitely does, and the paper itself is... Suggestive in that direction. They do admit autism is much more complicated than a single mutation but they reference autism again and again when reporting their results. Now, many papers in many different fields do some stretching of how relevant their results might be to some high-profile issue. The most common one is cancer, both because it's probably the most high profile issue in biomedical sciences, and because cancer is so complicated that you can actually make a reasonable link between cancer and your research in so many different fields. Most of the time however, such stretching of relevance is best relegated to the discussion section - not the results and definitely not the freaking title of the paper. It's irresponsible at best and a misleading inflation of significance at worst. Another thing to note is that what was reported as a "cure" in all the crappy news sites is really not, even if this was a clinical trial on actual autistic people. What they did was temporarily reverse some of those changes to measured behavioral markers (that, again, were framed as similar to autistic traits) using an epilepsy drug. It isn't a cure. It's a temporary treatment, like basically all psychiatric drugs. People with ADHD aren't "cured" by taking stimulants, and they don't become neurotypical while under the effects of the drug. So if people are worried someone will make an "autism-b-gone cure" based on research like this, it's highly unlikely. If anything, we're more likely to see psychiatric drugs with temporary, reversible effects, which might actually be interesting to have. The people we should be much more concerned with are the "in-utero detection" crowd that would enable misinformed expecting parents in electing to end pregnancies of potentially autistic fetuses, i.e eugenics.

It's not very likely that something you do will be used for autism research, unless you specifically target that field, in which case you can work from the inside to change the field's perception. Most scientists, in my experience, are not nefariously targeting autistic people.

Love this dive into "bad science!" I'm a sociology researcher interested in the social aspects of science - of which you've identified many here. In general, norms and "schools of thought" are quite powerful as well. Once a norm has been created, say, around "autistic mice" the future scholars build on that, as you said, and don't question the fundamental assumptions at play when you say you are studying "autistic mice". I recently had to have a conversation around this with a very smart, very well-meaning colleague who wanted to study the social implications of an autism diagnosis, and her research subjects were parents of autistic children. I had to firmly remind her that she wasn't studying autism, she was studying *parents* of autistic children. It's such a norm to ignore autistic voices, that she hadn't even thought to question that aspect of her research design. I told her, basically, "It's fine to study parents of autistic children. But you can't say you are studying autism in that case - you are studying parents of autistic children. Since autism has links to genetics, they may be autistic themselves, they may not, and there's all sorts of interesting things to study in that group. But it's not 'studying autism'".

Particularly in relation to ASD, where reductions in social behaviour and social communication are core symptoms, mice might not be the ideal model given their intrinsic lack of receptiveness to social interaction (Moy et al., 2008, 2007)."

This whole thing reeks of behaviorism. I thought we already determined behavior alone is not indicative of what autism really is, so how on earth could we diagnose it in a mouse?

Yes, scientific validity is very important. And besides criticizing or appraising papers, which is already something that we really need, there is one thing that I would really really like to have: an overview over where we stand, research-wise. Something like an autism wiki. A place where all the concepts, ideas and results of autism research go, with all the appraisals and criticisms that we all can find. Linking to papers, reviews, videos. With discussions on “Talk” pages. And so on. I know, nobody can “just do that”. This needs servers, software, maintenance, etc., and people who take care of this. I don’t know if anybody is in a position to do this or fund this. I am not, and I don’t think people here in general are able to do this. But I still wanted to put this idea ”out there”. Also, I don’t expect that a consensus appraisal can be reached easily on any given topic. I rather expect that a variety of appraisals will be possible. But the value of having something like this is that it could be a place where we can work together towards evaluating the scientific validity of concepts, research and results. And people could then go to there to get information about the subject and understand better where research stands.

I think you're right that such neurological research, if done well, could potentially be beneficial in learning more about how nervous systems work and maybe treating actual severe illnesses (in the long run), but the notion of a mouse model for neurodevelopmental variance in humans--the most neurologically and socially complex species on the planet--just seems a huge stretch. While I would love to find better treatments, for instance, for depression in people on the autism spectrum--since the treatments that work for neurotypical people often don't seem to work very well, at least not for me--there's no NEED to cure autism. It would be nice to make it at least a little bit easier for people on the spectrum to maximize their many individual strengths and to help reduce those things which cause persistent suffering for autistic people--like depression and anxiety, among other things. I don't know what I'm really getting at, but I just wanted to give you kudos and try to express the ways I think you made very good points.

I've been looking into depression research indirectly -- I was looking to adopt a dog and stumbled down the very deep hole of spay/neuter research Some of the depression research uses animal models also -- mostly rodents -- and triggers the condition via gonadectomy aka full spay/neuter -- but it looks like that model is actually good/works for certain types of depression as far as I can tell. In humans, gonadectomy/hormone deprivation can be an elective procedure, used to treat cancer, and replicated via chemical castraction (used for sexual predators, tho not legal/considered cruel now iirc) -- and depression has been found to be a side effect in humans (thou at lower rates then in rodents to my understanding). It's fucked up how they test it -- "forced swim test" where they see how they react to being forced to swim (and gonadectomized rodents don't try to swim/save themselves as much iirc). In dogs/cats, depression levels as a side effect of spay/neuter hasn't been studied as far as I can tell, but lowered activity (contributing to weight issues) has been seen, and as well as in dogs, anxiety/reactivity (which can lead to aggression/problematic behaviour) -- (ho some research is conflicting, but that seems to be due to contributing factors (socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, along with breed/size/age hugely effect dog behaviour -- in underserved areas, most dogs are intact vs nearly opposite in middle class and up neighborhoods). Thus one of reasons why some are switching to other forms of birth control (the other reasons being it's also increasing the cancer rates/bone/joint issues likely more then the reproductive issues it's reducing in dogs). But yea, perhaps the depression reasons that are replicated via gonadectomy (and medication tested using gonadectomy) tend to different with autism? But guessing they're also researching depression in much more ways then the rodent model, I wasn't looking into overall depression research.

I´m from Germany and since I´ve been diagnosed with ADHD 1,5 years ago I watched and read all I could find about neurodiversity, espacilly about expierences from others and whenever I´m on youtube it really gets me like... I must be autistic too... like I never related so deeply to things people told about themselves. Well. And then you go to an official german homepage about autism and it´s a hole other world. Full of assumptions and stereotypes und all writen as if never an autistic person been asked how it looks and feels from the inside to be like that. All that is been discribed is the obviosly observable different - and mostly as problematic seen - behaviour that a halfblind could spot from km away. It´s interesting and horrible at the same time. In the english-speaking neurodiverse network I´m definitly ADHD and very likely autistic too; in Germany most Psychologists even question my ADHD although it´s been officially diagnosed. I have that guess that german science leans on "facts" about autism (and ADHD) from 30 years ago and doesn´t make any move forward. Also I think there is no "cure" for autism needed but it would be nice if there was a cure for the pain it brings with itself sometimes.

I must have neurotypical mice in my house, that's why I have trouble communicating with them about moving out.

I don't think that any good researcher using animal models would say with any degree of certainty that the animal model reflects a human condition such as autism, schizophrenia, depression etc. That being said, animal models (I'll leave the ethics of animal research out of this answer as it is a whole topic on its own) are often the first step in finding out how the genetic mechanisms of a condition affect behavior, brain etc. I don't think it's unreasonable to model these conditions based on animals as humans are just one species of animals sharing the same basic genetic and neural machinery and the same basic principles with the machinery as other animal species because of evolution. No one (except for some clueless journalists etc.) is suggesting that animal model of autism has one-to-one relationship with human autism. However, if you can reproduce somewhat similar neural alterations to autism in mice as with humans you can potentially test medicines to see what the outcome is. This is just a first step of eliminating/selecting potential molecules that might alter autism traits. Further research is necessary and would include the use of human subjects to verify how a substance would affect autism traits. As to whether autism should be "cured" is an another complicated question. Since humans are a social species with most humans being increbly sensitive to reading other people based on their assumptions how a proper person should act, people with autism can and will encounter a lot of exclusion, scorn and condescending amusement from the neurotypicals. You could argue that you can teach the neurotypicals for being more tolerant to autistic people but when these social behaviors are "hard-coded" to the social brain of neurotypicals, the results of these teaching are often superficial at best and result in condescending, pseudo-friendly behavior towards autistic people. Trying to change the whole society often results in superficial changes in language and behavior that makes the neurotypicals just feel better about themselves. As a result, autistic people have significantly increased risk of suicide, anxiety, depression and increased chances of feeling completely alienated from the society as a whole. Other people are hell and you can paint this hell with pretty colors to make it look more applealing but this still doesn't change the fact that that other people are still, in fact, hell. If there was a potential medicine for reducing social anxiety, making one with autism understand social behavior of others more and generally being viewed in more positive terms instead of being viewed as that "creepy weirdo" with whom, from the perspective of neurotypicals with the tolerance training, social interaction is a chore that at best provides these people with positive self-image of being progressive and tolerant, wouldn't that medicine be worth a shot? It would reduce social anxiety, give confidence and probably reduce the risk of suicide and feelings of being alienated and disconnected from society/other people.

12:42 "subject 4736 just wont stop categorising his cheeses" - amazing, nuff said.

OK, so as an Aspie to another Aspie, I will go strait: You have some good points but a lot of... not so good ones. 1) To be honest, mice are used as they are the best we have... here as well as in any other research: they are mammals, they are small, they breed fast, they are easy to be kept, we know a lot about them, their genes, and their behaviour / ethology. As far as we know our limitations, the research on them can bring some useful facts... problem could be with a lot of MDs in the field, who, compared to average biologist, usually don't have this in their minds plus their knowledge of scientific method is usuall weaker (as far as my experience in my part of the word reaches). 2) You are right, that mice aren't as social as we are. From my point of view, their biggest problem is, that although they are able to recognize memmeber of their group, they aren't able to recognize who exactly it is (they don't have "names"). From this point of view, rats are far better model. The model is always about what you want to answer. 3) Genetics are able to produce / create a mouse with the very same mutation of the very same gene as in some cases with people on the spectrum. With having all the things above in your mind, you can check, if there are some changes in their behaviour compared to their siblings and close relatives. At least you have an answer, if the gene can do something with changes in behaviour. Well, to be honest, I cannot, as I am bad in reading mice behaviour the same way as in humans. 4) You can have mice without any gut microbiota in controled conditons. You can "infect" them with a mixture of microbiota you want to. As there is a strong suspicion, that products of gut microbiota can affect your brain or brain of your child to be born... and this is a system, how to understand it. 5) Cell cultures and organoids cannot copy the blossomed out mind of anyone, but they can show us, what is happening inside the brain with neurons without need to look inside the head of mouse or man. 6) Of cause, everything is basic research giving ideas to applied one, trying to understand, what is happening not only in people with ASD but in every single brain. It is complicated, it can be misleading sometimes, but as I have already written: it is basic research and you need to start somewhere. In biology you also do not have these double-blinded experiments. Contrary, you have two descriped groups, who differ in as few conditions as possible... ideally only the one you study, plus you should use randomization. If you are right or not will be check by repetition of your experiment by someone else. 7) And another agreement: Click-baits are killing reporting about research. Or do you think, that people would read something like: "Scientest have proved, that some gene with an abbrevation you do not know what it is, changes behaviour in laboratory mice and by the way the same gene is muted in poeple of a certaine type of autism" ? 8) If you ever been to academia, you would find, there is a lot of people with autistic traits.... not all of them are diagnosed, and sadly, they aren't usually in leading possitions (as even science is a social thing), but they are there. In that respect, I find the claim of yours, that they haven't seen anyone on the spectrum, as the most misleading. To sum up, research on mice and cell cultures has its place in understanding brain development including disorders connected with it including autism. Scientest and journalists reporting about its results should be carreful though not to rise any high expectations. I can imagine, that the "cure" in the future coul look like also this way: A mother will know, based on genetic screening, that several genes connected with development of ASD are mutated, so she will be recommended to alter her diet during pregnancy (or be more strict), so she lower probability of development of more serious (i.e. low-functional) ASD in her child. This would be fine with me - knowledge-based, self-decision, still no 100% guarantee. And by the way: Nice ears.

Maybe there is more to agree than you are realizing at the moment. I think you are in the mousetrap of thinking that autism is only a disability. The cure we so urgently need is to see autism as a difference. In the end autism is a welcome and needed phenomenon that enriches the world we live in. The most important cure is acceptance and inclusion.

@@peinzen There is not a word about me thinking it is only a disability. It is a double-edged sword though, which disables you from standard social life and making you more vulnerable to those, who want to take advantage over you, as a result. All the hypersensitivity, facial blindeness, melt-downs, shutdowns, and regresssions are making you to deal with things no NT will probably ever deal with or understand. Thank you for such enrichments. It can give you some advantages from other parts of your life. But calling it just some blessing for this is eqally dangerous, maybe more. We are not just different. We are different in certain way and we should understand it. Acceptance without understanding is shallow, it is just a pity. For example, if you have a man with serious autism, non-speaking, freaking out from any small change, unable to control his body with his mind and will. He can hurt people around him including his parents, what he doesn't want to do. He can hurt himself instead, what he doesn't want to do. Wouldn't it be better for him to have some solution based on our knowledge, which could help him to overcome the problems, to help him to enjoy the world with those he loves without any fear from himself? In such a case acceptance isn't enough (but still better than nothing).

Gotta love seeing a mouse getting an autism assessment. Do they also have to wait 4 years? Random vaguely related question: Have you come across studies that look into autism and nationality? While looking at autistic traits and preferences in an English speaking country, I can't help but wonder that quite a lot of them are 'normal' German traits. Have there been more neurodivers people in power in German history to make the society better adjusted for them? Is a larger proportion of the population autistic? Did the autistic Saxons stay and the neurotypical Saxon move to the British Islands?

This was really interesting to watch, love that us autistics have to put up with this nonsense. Thank you for making a video on this, I’m glad I know more about what is currently going on in the wonderful world of anti-autism haha

Thank you for a lovely video! There is just one thing I wish that would have been addressed but that I don't think was mentioned. To us, we obviously see how autism does not translate to mice, but to people who aren't as familiar with autism, I feel that there is a bit of a gap in the reasoning presented as to why this research is silly. I think it could be addressed by asking the question, "WHY is autism a thing that only applies to humans?" I think the conversation would lead into the area of the social model of disability vs. the medical model of disability, which might make the conversation a little hairy, but I think it's worth it. (For example, there are definitely cultural factors that would make someone seem more, or less, autistic. Like in the US, eye contact is unnecessarily demanded, and autistic people tend to break that social expectation, which is one of the reasons autistic people get labeled as autistic. But in Japan, eye contact is frowned upon and can seem rude and aggressive, so an autistic person who doesn't do eye contact in Japan won't be called out for this oddity, as it is not even an oddity in that environment. This conversation is impossible to translate to animals, obviously. I just think some people might need help connecting these dots.)

How did the mice show autistic behavior? They probably excelled in tech and got employed in Silicon Valley, or maybe in accounting, research, healthcare or design. Way to go, mice! Now they can get to space, as well.

I love the mouse ears, Sam! They're so cute! I love that you wore them for this video, too

It would be great if they dedicated this sort of investment into accommodating autism rather than trying to get rid of it.

Most scientific research is just an exercise in (a) validating the preconceptions of the researchers and (b) justifying funding. A previous editor of the BMJ said that 85% of metabolic epidemiological is 'mendacious'

I read this article recently and your analysis is priceless! That, and the mouse ears! I may need to get some for myself ;) Your channel has helped me so much. Thanks for all you are doing!

I agree with everything, BUUUUUUUUT there is absolutely nothing against animals also being autistic or having trauma or whatever other psychological characteristics. If bees can develop trauma, mice can be autistic/highly intelligent/ tend to homosexual behaviour/sensitive, whatever. We humans are very complex creatures and will show very complex symptoms, but that doesn't mean we are the only ones in the animal kingdom to present these features. Another very valid point is that of high sensitivity. As you know, the High Sensitive Person, classification coined by Dr. Elaine Aaron, is just another term for autism. Back in 1995 the poor woman didn't have any real frame of reference for her "female" autism. I read her book from that year, which was based on her nephews btw, both later in life diagnosed as autistic, and got to the conclusion that the HSP-trait is plain, good, ole, cookie-cutter autism. The thing is, she's done extensive research identifying and documenting the "trait" in over 100 species, from dogs to goldfish. So, it is a pain that they are trying to erradicate/cure autism, but it is also very plausible that animals can be autistic as well. But this is a very thought-provoking video! Thank you Sam, I adore you very much (I just disagree on this very specific point)

As a mouse, and an autistic one, i can confirm that these studies are completely bunk; first place i jump to is the ethics disclosures followed by methodology, and its usually instantly clear how they reached these absurd conclusions My fave bad example will always be any mouse studies that show tumorous mice as proof that some drug or another is bad; when in fact theyre usin a mouse species that is literally most well known for its extremely high propensity to grow tumours. Anythin not usual to that mouses lifestyle and they will probs grow tumors; even without such theres still like a one in ten chance any given mouse becomes tumorous.

Well done! I love how you broke down the science with both facts and humor. Really, really good job! TY for your time and effort!

I don't know if you've made a video on this, but shutdowns [an internalized form of meltdowns] don't really get talked about much and I think spreading awareness on them would be valuable. I have experienced shutdowns throughout my life and didn't recognize that for what it was because I had no words for it. I just knew some days I "couldn't" anymore, and didn't want to interact, wanted to teleport back home or just disappear to give me time to recharge.

I love how much fun you had with this one and the adorable squeak at the end. Your sense of humor reminds me of me.

Thank you, I love how you present this topic. Holy crap! Science can sure turn a few really bad corners. I am so impressed with your ability to teach in a fun and interesting manner.

I stutter, have a condition called (PS) poland-syndrome (which is the Doc's name who coined the condition), and my IQ & test scores were way above average, so everyone thought that being academically so capable should save me from any of life's real problems. But it didn't. Thank goodness for your generation being able to express this Truth. I Was a Mask for my entire life. I was either beaten or raped into submission.

You crack me up! Love your explanation of these type of articles.

Part of the issue with this paper is how it’s reported in the pop science media. They make these sweeping claims that aren’t in the paper or might be hinted at for further research. I’m not saying that the mouse model is useful for autism and ADHD, I just think part of the issue is how it’s reported to the general public.

I have only just started this video and already Infeel thankful to you that youdismantle this study. Also i loooooove those mouse ears on you. You look so cute with them. And also they bring a seemnse of humour to this video which is so nice cause that people want to cure autism is so outrageous. Acceptance of autistic people by society at large and provide for spaces where there is less noise, less faking by non autistic people would be so wholesome for not only people on the spectrum but also those who arent. .

I am 3 minutes in and have already heard enough to know where this one is going. But it made me think about something that I’d like to talk about. I, as a high functioning autistic individual. Prefer to have my autism, over not. It’s part of what makes me who I am. Yes, it sucks sometimes in how it affects my every day life, but it gives me gifts of creativity, and the ability to analyze things in ways others normally wouldn’t. I have a perspective that is unique to me, and I don’t particularly want to be “cured” of that. I know that in more severe cases, it may be better to be free of autism’s burdens, but that’s a wish that I think should be left to the autistic individuals in question. Though based on my interactions with others in the same ballpark as me, our general consensus is typically that our quirks, though odd and sometimes frustrating, are awesome for us, and can sometimes even be admired by others.

I absolutely LOVED this video! It was not AT ALL what I was looking for when I came to your channel, but WOW, you really had me cracking up throughout the entire thing! I WANT MORE! I WANT MORE!

Possible that it's just an attention-related issue, but I would go to an optometrist to rule out any sort of medical issue there.

This is such a cool video! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 24 and just figured out the autism thing the other day on my 26th birthday, lol. But when I was 20, going into my third year of university (and what I'm realizing now was likely autistic burnout), I did work using machine learning to analyze brain scans of people with various neurological disorders. I remember that most of what I did involved the autism group, which is incredibly funny to me in hindsight. I think one of the reasons for choosing autism was, in fact, that it'd be easier to get funding for than, say, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. I imagine it's similar with breast cancer research. We found a few statistically significant links, but nothing that seemed particularly interesting or useful. Still got a couple papers out of it, though. Would anyone be interested in reading them? I'm not sure if I can legally share my copy, but I can give out the titles.

I think you hit the nail on the head guessing that it was really an issue of chasing funding. Neuroscience is NOT my field but I've seen it elsewhere... want to do a study? gotta find funding. The study you want to do isn't in a popular category? Pick some tangentially related popular topic and dress it up to be about that. Profit.

I really want to become a research scientist and I'd love to research autism not for a cure but to try and help promote autistic people's rights and make them feel less alone (science makes me more confident in myself and I'd like to help people like me). I'd really like to research burnout as well so I can help people avoid it. But I'm really scared about the eugenics thing if people steal my research or build on it for bad things. The fields I'm interested in are neuroscience and epigenetics (which could be used to treat cancer and things like that) but there's so much in both these fields that's directed at curing autism and I don't know if I should take the risk. But I feel like getting autistic people into autism research is super important? These are just my thoughts at the beginning of this video

That was a mouse-full 🐭

Thank you for this video. You ask at the end if anyone has come across any studies they have read and thought 'WTF'...and yes, I have! I'm struggling with my recent diagnosis (well, it's been two years) and am now reading more and have thankfully found your insightful KZread channel (thank you). But today I came across a recent research paper 'Epidemic of False Diagnoses of Autism' by David Rowland, and wondered if you'd possibly read it and please share your thoughts? I have felt very lost and began to find some self-awareness and understanding but this paper has completely confused me and I feel rather lost again. Thank you
