    I did my residency for 3 years on TikTok and I have a PHD from YouTube.

    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.

    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.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancet_MMR_autism_fraud in case anyone isn't familiar with the study you're talking about. Imagine being wrong so hard that you lose your license to practice medicine but keep up the act for decades afterward. Wakefield is such a piece of shit.

    I love when people claim to not trust the science of vaccines. Vaccines created using the same scientific method that allowed the invention of the smart phones they're typing from. The same science that allows for all modern medicine, energy production, manuacturing, etc.

    I think you’re missing that she is a pediatrician and not just a “doctor.” Pediatricians administer a big majority of vaccines and care for the patients receiving them. They probably do learn a hell of a lot more about them than, say, an oncologist who spends all their time treating cancer in old people. And they see the effects of them up close in the field. Any doctor is constantly researching and staying up to date. A pediatrician worth their salt is very well educated on all relevant studies even if they didn’t conduct those studies with their own two hands. I reject the notion that you need to conduct the studies to know the science: that’s a ludicrous bar for us to set.

    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.

    Seriously. Does this woman even know how to Educate™? She obviously hasn't listened to Joe Rogan or that troll that crawled out from under a rotten whale carcass to talk about Nibiru Aliens injecting Autism directly into COVID vaccines... Like how can she even call herself a doctor if she doesn't even know about adrenochrome!? Christ, Jamie pull that video up!

    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)

    Ok, that's not 100% true as autism is a spectrum. Sure there are some parts of the spectrum that does make independence difficult.

    As someone who is on the spectrum, I have trouble with social situations, including sarcasm and taking things literally - I struggle to take a hint and unless you make it extremely obvious I won't notice flirting... I don't even notice myself flirting tbh - I try not to use that as an excuse. but I'm reasonable with money management, and I do quite well on my own (I spend more time by myself on my computer and technology than I do with my parents, and we live in the same house.) I have a full time job (still trying to work out how I managed that tbh) with an upcoming pay rise due to a contract buyout. (Let's fucking go!)

    Not all autism is the same, and sure there are some higher ends of the spectrum that people require assistance, and then there's everyone in between. I needed more assistance in school - I never finished an exam before my extended time limit , and I had regular extensions on assignments. But aside from that I got through it mostly on my own.

    I wasn't diagnosed until after my first semester of uni, as public service autism assessments had a waiting list and going private was incredibly expensive.

    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

    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.
