In just 20 years, autism diagnoses have skyrocketed by 400% without a single new biological discovery. Has our brain changed, or has our tolerance for difference changed?
Dr. José Luis Marín presents the most unsettling data: while the world turns blue, real science still hasn't found the famous "autism gene" or a consistently replicable biological basis.
We are witnessing a diagnostic explosion based on new definitions and social needs, not on neurology. What's most disturbing is that the concept of "spectrum" didn't originate in a laboratory, but in Nazi Vienna, at the hands of Hans Asperger, a doctor who decided which lives were worth living while sending children to euthanasia. Are we helping children or using a label to pathologize difference?
We cannot call a child with severe communication difficulties "autistic" in the same way as someone who self-diagnoses on TikTok. This video is a call for critical psychiatry in the face of current scientism: is diagnosis a gateway to health or a lifelong identity sentence?
