>The refrigerator mother theory, also known as Bettelheim's theory of autism, is a discredited psychological theory that the cause of autism is a lack of parental, and in particular, maternal emotional warmth.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator_mother_theory
"discredited"
>One must note that autism is one of a number of children's neurological disorders of psychogenic nature, i.e., caused by abusive and traumatic treatment of infants. ...There is persistent denial by American society of the causes of damage to millions of children who are thus traumatized and brain damaged as a consequence of cruel treatment by parents who are otherwise too busy to love and care for their babies.[18]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator_mother_theory#Persistence_of_the_theory
>The modern consensus is that autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism are complex and are not well understoodLMAO
>>526508322women can't possibly be responsible for ANYTHING negative so its gotta be genes or viruses or sum sheeit
Have you ever met an autist with normal parents? They don't exist, and they are almost always from weak/no father households with batshit crazy mothers. Definitely something to it.
>He found that, just as they were incapable of having sexual relations, they were also unable to parent their offspring, either abusing or neglecting them. "Not even in our most devious dreams could we have designed a surrogate as evil as these real monkey mothers were", he wrote.[8] Having no social experience themselves, they were incapable of appropriate social interaction. One mother held her baby's face to the floor and chewed off his feet and fingers. Another crushed her baby's head. Most of them simply ignored their offspring.[8]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_of_despair
>Bowlby's work on delinquent and affectionless children and the effects of hospital and institutional care led to his being commissioned to write the World Health Organization's report on the mental health of homeless children in post-war Europe whilst he was head of the Department for Children and Parents at the Tavistock Clinic in London after World War II.>His main conclusions, that "the infant and young child should experience a warm, intimate, and continuous relationship with his mother (or permanent mother substitute) in which both find satisfaction and enjoyment" and that not to do so might have significant and irreversible mental health consequenceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternal_deprivation
>On the issue of removal of children from their homes, Bowlby emphasised the strength of the tie that children feel towards their parents and discussed the reason why, as he put it, "children thrive better in bad homes than in good institutions". He was strongly in favour of support being provided to parents and extended families to improve the situation and provide care within the family rather than removal if possible.[28]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternal_deprivation
>>526509384Which is telling that most autistic children come from weak/no father households. I suspect in the absence of a strong father in the household and in turn a sense of accountability, women will be more neglectful and less loving of their children.
>>526508568Chris Chan's mom would keep hugging him as a child no matter how uncomfortable he was.Decades later he took her as his boyfriend-free girl and raped her.
>>526509926and that these type of women are more likely to abandon their husbands or to mate with a man unlikely to stay with them
>>526508322I think it may be a side affect of women having too much testosterone in the womb, but women who have too much free test floating around in their blood just so happen to also be less maternal as well.
>>526511146mm makes sensewhy would modern women have more testosterone exposure in the womb though? same question for modern women with too much free test floating around in their blood?

>>526509036High functioning autist checking in...I've cut my mother out of my life entirely. Luckily my younger brother isn't autistic but he has different issues that have come up cause of the shit we went through.TL;DR Mother used me as a psuedo 'husband' emotionally, my dad was only (and still only) really cares about his work and not much else. My mother has been in 3 separate marriages and has divorced all 3. In her defense, the first was due to my father cheating but seeing how fucking insane she was I kinda don't blame him the older I've gotten. Father is on his 3rd marriage now but at least that is holding.So yea, to say I had a pretty shitty childhood and parents is a bit of an understatement. It's a miracle I'm not a drug addict. To anyone else reading in a similar situation, just stay strong friends. I'm doing well for myself in basically everything but the social/romantic side of things. I'm nearing wizard status so can't wait to cast magic missiles at angry drivers.
>>526514453>TL;DR Mother used me as a psuedo 'husband' emotionallyhow?
>>526514594I wasn't allowed out much for one thing, and she wanted to pile all of her woes and other emotional baggage to me. She always said I was her 'favorite' child which led to a bunch of resentment from my brother for years. Luckily he wizened up to things and realized I was just as much a victim to her nonsense as he was.
>>526508322Tldr. Jewish nonsense.
>>526510464I wonder what Chris Chan is up to these days.
>>526514453You fucked your mom, didn't you?
>>526515347If I ever stumble across a repressed memory even remotely related to that I may just off myself. I'll make sure to live stream it for you retards to make gore gifs out of.
Autism is caused by dysregulation of cerebrospinal fluid/pineal gland. Influenced by modern diets.
>>526508322I figured this out last year. Nice to see. It is likely very closely tied to postpartum interaction. Autism rates correlate with cribs and "let them cry" mentallity I'm sure. I never got diagnosed as autistic or my father rejected the idea because he didn't want me in retard classes. I remember her taking me out of a school cause they wanted to put me in special ed cause I have never in my life given a fuck about "authority" or what another person thinks I should or shouldn't do. I understand how little I understand about existence and know what most people "know" is just a belief. So I privately hold my own beliefs and outwardly try to treat people how I think everybody should be treated. Nicely. I know that people have parents that don't actually love them because I have seen the look on my parents face when they told me they wish I wasn't born and I'm a little piece of shit. When they fed me less than my siblings. When they told me I'd get raped and molested in foster care if I told my teachers how they treat me. When my mother encouraged my suicide after filling out life insurance for me using my social. Once you realize most people are just lying about caring people whatsoever it's easy to identify who actually cares because they are nothing like everybody else. These people and these relationships are mostly oblivious creatures manipulating conversation and emotion for physical or psychological gain. They don't understand anything they say, they only know arranging words in a certain manner illicits a certain result. Their conversation is just a puzzle of words to frame you in the way they need to gain what they want. So they arrange the pieces(words) in different ways, sonetimes rearranging them, other times swapping them for a new set of pieces(words) to arrange. It's heartbreaking honestly. I don't really talk to anybody cause of it. Just post here and talk about work at work. 3 years straight.
>>526515665Unironically, do you have any suggestions on what changes could be made to a diet that could possibly influence changes to this? I eat a pretty clean diet, mainly chicken / rice / beans (probably all loaded with microplastics). I'd be down to supplement with something for testing as long as it's not something like bleach
>>526515814Dunno why my flag was puerto rico>knock knock
My mother was distant and cold most of the time so it does seem plausible at a glance
>>526514820mm
>>526509926I hardly knew my father and I also had no grandfather or biological uncles as my mother is the youngest of four sisters
>>526508322I think autism is a more or less severe, permanent and crippling state of elevated nerve excitement, that is often caused by prenatal or birth traumata, and can intensify with childhood trauma and neglect.
>>526508322So a semi-autistic (e.g., unemotional) women pairs with a similar man and makes a super autismo kid, the genetic component is described by refrigerator mother theory. Theory just blames nurture rather than the nature that it really is.
Oh also to any other autists that suffer with sound sensitivity, got me a pair of high fidelity earplugs and they help a LOT if I start getting overwhelmed out in public. Sometimes you get in a situation where you can't just easily dip out without pissing people off and this makes loud areas far more tolerable. Brand I got was eargasm, works really good. Sure there are probably other cheaper ones out there as well but these work great.
>>526516532Kind of like how your retarded parents created you.
>>526508322>Suspecting anything and everything but vaccines and blaming anyone and everyone but pharma Jews and Jew academia and doctors Typical.
>>526517312it's not vaccines, that is a retarded cop-out
>>526508322Does your refrigerator mother keep the bepis cool?
>be me>have narcissistic crazy mom>am autistic and socially inept>bangs exclusively milfs, now gilfs bc I’m oldHmmm
>>526509036I have barely ever met a person in the west without parent issues of some kind
>>526519826Go back visajeet
>>526515814damn, anon. they're right about foster care though, from what I've read/seen. should be avoided at all costs. daycare has these risks too, though to a lesser degree.and I get what you're saying about people just mindlessly proceeding through life, though I imagine it's a bit more nuanced than you're giving them credit for.I know people who are capable of hurting me by their selfishness and biases, but who have also shown they care about me too and have helped me in other ways. it's not either/or absolutely, people can be complex.most people don't care much one way or another, and they're not supposed to. the ones who are supposed to can be hit or miss. my parents failed me too, but not as bad as your mom it sounds like.
>>526520289I'm white and I was born here... you think it's impossible to travel outside of North America and meet people?
