  • I've reacted to Dhar Mann's medical videos before, and they made me cringe. Looks like he's uploaded some new ones since then and I decided to see if the quality had improved at all. Turns out... not so much. Today we talk about bullying children with ASD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, vitiligo, drinking and driving, breaking your wrist, faking tourette's syndrome, and enduring a coma. Let me know if there are any other videos I may have missed!
    The videos I reacted to can be found here:

Their videos are about serious issues like bullying, catfishing, sexual harassment, sexism, eating disorders, racism, among others and they are addressing them as entertainment and like it is not a big deal and they end up the story with a cringe lesson that they repeat over and over again in similar stories. The worse is that people are buying that bs.

Also, siblings aren’t always that horrible to their autistic siblings. My younger sister is patient, kind, and understanding, even though her older sister sometimes has trouble with understanding social cues. She’s one of my best friends, and I’m lucky to have a sister like her. Furthermore, you’re an awesome doctor who treats people with compassion and kindness. Plus you donated all that money to feeding America, and that’s freaking awesome. Keep being you. 💕

    Thank you Mike. I'm a teenager and autistic (high functioning). The way u talk abt celebrating people like me is truly heartwarming and i cant thank you enough for spreading this message. We dont need curing. We dont need therapy to 'cure us' either. But we also dont need people using us just because we see the world differently and are (in many cases) very intelligent to get something from us. We are human beings too and we just want to have friends and fit in, even where society makes it impossible to do so. We should be celebrated instead of singled out and jeered at. After all, Einstein was Autistic and look how intelligent and amazing he was. This is why I dont understand the stereotype of autistic people being dumb because it is quite the opposite. We are humans and we deserve the same respect as neurotypical people. ❤

      Yeah it's quite a big problem how disabled / neurodivergent people are often only 'tolerated' if their quirks include something useful / exploitable.
      I personally grew up (pre-diagnosis which I only got as an adult) that I need to be exceptional at science/math for people to tolerate me. Like I needed some sort of redeeming factor for simply being myself because it was inconvenient and different. As you can imagine this caused mental problems I needed years of therapy for, a supportive environment, and I still struggle with related toxic thought patterns to this day :\
      Disabled / Neurodivergent people have worth beyond whether or not society finds them useful. This is so important and I am so happy Dr. Mike pointed this out.

    When I was 7, I was misdiagnosed with a tic by my then pediatrician, and he told my mom “If you keep telling her to stop, eventually she will.” This went on for FIVE YEARS. Five years of me being essentially bullied by adults and kids, people asking “what’s wrong with your eyes?” “Why are you eyes so weird?” “Are you possessed?” “Stop, that’s ugly.” “You’re gonna be grounded if you don’t stop.” Then after those 5 years, I saw a new pediatrician who noticed an “episode;” and she immediately referred me to a neurologist, and that ultimately led to me being diagnosed with epilepsy, the seizures being myoclonic seizures that occurred HUNDREDS of times a day and only half a second long, and now they maybe occur once every few weeks. To this day, I have a hard time looking people in the eyes because every time I used to, people would make fun of me when they saw a seizure. This is just a reminder that if you see someone’s body do something weird, don’t jump to conclusions and think they are trying to be funny.

    I have recently been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which is now classified as autism in the US health system. It definitely has allowed me certain advantages in being hyper focused on my passion, which is making books and films.

    • @Mangeen

      @@RGC_animation For me, a definite positive so far. As I said, I'm quite a mild case. I can cope with little social interaction with strangers etc. I can also cope with having to do social interactions when necessary. (I've learned to do them, so while they may not be very comfortable for me, I can act quite well)
      But I think I'm quite possibly in the minority with this. I have my great focus, which allows me to be absorbed into my work. I also do what I enjoy very well (Like recently taking up piano, and I seem to be making unusually fast progress). For example, despite my social difficulties I've learned to give presentations very well. I can act confident while doing public speaking (even if I'm nervous) and I have a fairly unique and... effective humour.
      I've also been able to teach myself the basics of empathy in a way, so while I can sometimes struggle with feeling the mood or knowing how to respond, I can generally cope with it.
      There are issues with things I don't enjoy though. They used to be particularly worse when I was younger (I used to have a panic attack every night and fight my mum over easy maths homework), but as I've gotten older, I've not only learned to deal with these things better, but they've also become far less common to experience in my life.

      This is the case with a huge majority of Dhar Mann videos, and it's such an unhealthy message, especially if these are aimed at young people (which I assume they are, given how simplistic and dumbed-down the videos are). The gay teenager is accepted because he won the team's basketball game. The only girl in scouts is celebrated because she helped find and rescue the missing boy in the woods. It's discovered that the sweet disabled brother only has that limb and crutches because he saved his sister from being hit by a car when they were little children and she just didn't remember. In Dhar Mann's Fictional Universe, the underdogs or oppressed only have value if they also find success that benefits those that originally dismissed and bullied them, OR they are revealed to have a tragic backstory. What if that gay teen in high school wasn't great at sports? What if the disabled older brother was just born that way? What if that kid with Tourettes didn't have a lot of social media followers? Treat them decently anyway? Is that not the lesson we should be teaching? But no, that's way too subtle and realistic and complicated, I suppose. These videos aren't just terribly written and acted, they're insulting to the very idea of respect and intrinsic value.

Then told us I was *_"faking"_* the pain. I was pushed to continue training. After 6 mths of sheer humiliation, unable to skate like before, I was sent to a neurosurgeon who did an MRI... 3 weeks later I had my first of three surgeries on my lower back. I struggle greatly today with chronic back pain, sciatica and degenerative disc disease. I became addicted to some really strong pain meds.

    Me, as an Autistic teen, I feel for 'Sam', I got bullied a lot in younger grades, such as 4th and 5th.This was because I had a VERY difficult time socializing and making friends. It was really hard, because I was known as the 'weird' kid, I also got called mental pretty often. This stopped after a group project with my main bully, he was known for very low grades and he had a hard home life, I always was nice to the people who were mean. That project we got around a 97% (I cannot remember the exact amount) which is equivalent to a A+.
    From then on I still got bullied, but much less.
    I hate that people on the spectrum get bullied, categorized, and labeled. I am high functioning and it took my mother years to get me on the waiting list for (what my mum told me was autism testing, because I was younger) the evaluation for a formal diagnosis.
    Now I am a rising 9th grader, going into the Health Sciences program at my High School.

      Overall, the viewers of the content are children; so I guess although it may be inaccurate or unrealistic it does at least allow the younger audiences to understand what they are watching. It doesn't help if they take in the info and think it actually works that way though.

    Thank you for speaking out about autism Mike. I have autism and adhd (along with Asperger’s and sensory processing disorder) and I feel that way more people should know about it. People often think that I need help with everything just because I’m autistic. While I am pretty bad at math and science, I’m pretty good with writing, reading, and geography/history.

    Regarding autism, I’m a 25 year old woman who was recently diagnosed was never tested for it in the past. Women with autism often don’t know that they have it and tend to “mask” symptoms. High functioning autism may not just be less common in females(supposedly) but it literally presents itself differently. Females are more likely to be diagnosed later than males. I don’t know whose videos have worse acting, Dhar Mann’s or Sameer Bhavnani’s. Lol I love your reactions, Doctor Mike, and I love your Burr dog.🐻🐶🖤💜❤️(I spelled it as “Burr” on purpose. Lol)

      Also a random fact. People with multiple disorders arent always diagnosed in one time ethier.
      I was diagnosed when I was 2. But my bi polar disorder wasnt diagnosed until I was 8 or 9. Then the adhd I think I was 12. It mayve been the adhd that was diagnosed when I was 8. I cant really tell but I distinctly remember them having trouble figuring it out and getting thrown into various mental hospitals cause none of the doctors could agree and my parents didnt know what to do with my 'episodes'.

It's helped me to understand my sensory issues, such as sensitivities to noise, light, temperature...etc. It's helped me to understand why I don't "prefer" routines, but need them. The biggest help has been the various online communities that know exactly how I feel and have offered tips on how to deal with some of the challenges, as well as how to highlight my strengths.
      I think my life would've been better had I known earlier. I would've known about autistic burnout BEFORE I'd become suicidal and had safeguards in place. I would've known when to step away from sensory overload instead of masking and ending up having a meltdown internally. My family may have been able to recognize when I needed something had they known I was autistic. They always thought I was just antisocial. They didn't realize I was always struggling. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be struggling like that.

While he’s cringe, I think it’s pretty important to insult specific things so Dharr Mann can at least have something to build off of when he writes these. Also props to Dr.Mike for not being mean about the actors themselves, especially the kids. His insults towards the bad writing, etc. are justified but still really nice for being roasts yk.
