brilliant video!

I would've thought autistics, who supposedly are better than average at pattern recognition, would've noticed the recurring pattern of colloquially using "cure" as a stand-in for treatment on genetic disorders lol

This was a fantastic presentation of a whopping amount of information. THANK YOU! It would be awesome if the researchers were more disconnected from Big Pharma so that we could hear some truly practical methods of delivering oxytocin instead of what kind of pharmaceutical delivery systems can be developed. As if progress in the field depends on that! Jesus!

kissing, hugging, cuddling, making love, having an orgasm, singing in a choir, giving someone a neck rub, holding a baby, stroking a dog or cat, performing a generous act, prayer, rooting for your team, making eye contact, breathing, practicing mindfulness, listening without judgment, positive touch, proximity, play/wrestle/laugh/dancing, thinking loving thots, smiling.

Differences in oxytocin, dopamine and melatonin levels probably all play a role in autism. It's really sad such substances aren't used by default when treating autism as they could help thousands of individuals out there.

neurodevelopmental disorder? slander!!!!!!!!!!

(instead of "fixing us," why don't you offer assistance. would be nice if someone listened to the "subjects" once in a while.)

they don't care, simple as that.

@bluebanshee3 : Well, I have Asperger's Syndrome and in the past I rejected the idea of a "cure" as well. However, after experimenting with LSD, Methylone, Tryptophan and other substances I came to a different conclusion. Differences in oxytocin, dopamine and melatonin levels probably all play a role in autism and by altering these levels we can significantly improve our lives. Now I know how it feels to think like a neurotypical person, I can say it really is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

thank you. great vieo. i wish everyone would do their research before they left comments.

they're not sick, they're autistic.

This snake-oil salesman has found another use for hillbilly heroin! Let's turn these sick kids into legal junkies! Wow. Just think of the market.
