Hey bear sensory, dancing fruits on YouTube! Autism??
So there’s something circulating around the internet, people saying that this specific baby sensory on YouTube causes autism? I think I’m tired of peoples stupidity, or am I the stupid one? Autism is what you’re born with, how can a video cause autism? People are just seeing things and pushing a narrative that doesn’t need to be pushed! So many things are ‘autism’ these days. Nothing wrong with being autistic but I think people now have nothing to say so when they see things they straight away think it’s Autism! If anyone has actual evidence let me know, but the internet is one weird place to be and sometimes it does get you doubting.. anyone heard of this?

Not sure on the research behind this, but it's been suggested that prolonged use of screens can be linked to something called 'virtual austism' I assume because symptoms manifest as autism like (which is a bit reductive because theres such a huge range) but there's no word for it so its been labelled as that. I don't think any one thing can cause autism
I think potentially could lead to increased risk of ADHD be cause of the fast movements and overstimulation but definitely don’t see a link to autism! You can also slow YouTube down to .75 speed to not be quite as overstimulating!
