This guy talks way too slow and swallows way too much. I think he learned to talk by watching old Star Trek episodes
To save you time... Guy with a hat talking in the woods...
He is not a doctor but is speaking from his own "interstellar background and his technological awareness".
He believes he has solved some of the problems related to ASD. He believes that our environment is synthetic but is such a high technology that we interpret it as real and is from God.
He has 'work' on 'Androids among us" and the 'Android conspiracy'. 1 in 110 children born are autistic.
He goes on to comparing modern humans to Neanderthals; says modern humans replaced the Neanderthals.
He admits that his work on autism is not scientific but believes that autistics are a new human life form.
Believes existence is a technology.
Believes there is an 'android culture' but they're flesh and blood people.
Believes that new race of androids are intimately connected to the cosmos.. that we should stop thinking them as developmentally disordered and instead advanced versions of ourselves.
Believes that autistics are the birth of a new civilization and we'll eventually have to change the name of human into something more advanced.

Some interesting ideas here though not sure any of them hold up to any kind of scrutiny. Not surprised if it's a not so funny April fools joke.

The first couple of minutes of this video seemed to be going somewhere, but then it all went a bit weird when he mentioned the androids and the 'technological cosmos' etc. I'm not sure if I can take what he says too seriously when he mentions things like 'Robot Jesus'.
Unfortunately this whole 'Autism Separatist' movement will just never take off, nor should it. It would be unhealthy with all the inbreeding.
I don't want to make any sort of personal attack on this guy, but I do think his ideas are quite flawed. Maybe he has watched too many sci-fi films, and is taking it all a bit too seriously.

I can see what he means when he mentions about being born into a poisonous world, and not fitting in due to unco-operative surroundings, which isn't going to help matters for people with autism (or people without autism, for that matter.)

Perhaps if he left out all the parts about androids, the matrix, autism separatism, and messiahs made of nuts and bolts; then maybe I would take what he said a bit more seriously. It was all kind of an odd mix of interesting and somewhat plausible ideas and prophetic ranting.

I know him. You have to watch all his videos to get a grasp on what he says. Much of it is metaphor; NOT to be taken literally.
