I did my residency for 3 years on TikTok and I have a PHD from YouTube.
Mommy blogger of the lake, what is your wisdom?

You joke, but I have watched so many YouTube tutorials on unreal engine, Godot, and Blender to learn game development stuff. I wouldn't say I'm an expert. But I definitely know a lot more than I did a few years ago.
Does Blender cause autism?
Well, I'm autistic, and I've used blender a lot...

I'm going to guess you did more than just watch videos... If you also applied that knowledge in practical work, you did educate yourself on how to use those tools.
Whatever you made is the validation/grading of your education. IMO that's a perfectly valid way to get an education, for those kinds of topics. It's much more risky to grade yourself on abstract knowledge where you can't directly make something and see if it works or not.

I see nothing about her googling experience!
How many hours has she logged on Facebook?

Anyone who tells you to “educate yourself” probably barely made it out of high school.

The only person who ever basically said that vaccines cause autism was Andrew Wakefield and he was a con artist who was trying to sell his special magic don't give you autism vaccine, which turned out to be the same stuff as the "autism vaccine" or in some cases saline.
He had his medical licence revoked. He should have gone to prison.
Only morons believed him, and only morons continue to believe him.

"Educate yourself" means to look up a few random Facebook posts that agree with your viewpoint and tell others that they are stupid for being brainwashed sheeple.

Autism causes vaccines.
Vaccines cause... kids to grow up and become adults. Autism? It means I have limited social energy and I'm so good at seeing patterns I keep getting told they aren't there and I need to be reasonable🤣

Hold up. Whenever I see this stuff the disclaimer at the end is almost always "I'm a bot..." Yadda yadda yadda....
I just noticed that's NOT what it says. So... Umm.... Hi.

But how many years of youtube study? How long has she been writing papers for anonymous society? I think all her medical practice and education shows how really uneducated she is.
I started at a point of "vaccines obviously don't cause autism, that's absurd."
I transitioned through "even if they did, there's nothing wrong with being autistic"
These days I'm at "autistic people are way better than NT people and I wish vaccines caused autism"
No. I've come to terms with who I am and even like some aspects of it that I would miss so I wouldn't give it up if I had the choice, but it's a disability for me, has been a very hard struggle, and I don't even have it as severe as some. I wouldn't wish this on more people. (Unless it was 100% of people because most of the struggles I have with the tism come from trying to live in a world designed by NTs that probably wouldn't exist in a world where everyone had tism)

Me and my girlfriend are both autistic and we would never wish this on anyone. Our child will most likely be autistic, and while we're more than fine with that, we'd love if the kid didn't have to go through the same shit as us
Make no mistake, I love who I am, but being ND is a disability and struggle for the rest of your life
If you said that NT were way better, you'd be called an asshole and bigot. How's the reverse any different?

This comment stinks of someone without a disability having wishful thinking.
Yes, it’s true my daughter is the sweetest, most loving, perfect child on the planet. But she also didn’t get potty trained until age 6. She will never be able to drive. She’s only going to be able to hold the most basic jobs. She’ll likely never be able to live independently.
There is definitely nothing wrong with autism and she is easily way better than any other person I’ve ever met. But she also faces some real challenges in life, and I don’t wish that everyone in the world had that.

Oh yeah? Well, how many Youtube videos has this elitist "scientist" published? How many suppliment pills has she sold online? Why should I trust her?
