Behind the Bastards · Part Two: The Grifters Behind The Fake Autism 'Cure' Industry · 3 Apr 2025 podcast

Also, like, like, I'm sure some of this was causing some sort of delirium and the kids were talking to that.

But it's also, like, such a hydra, right? Like, it feels like you cut off the head and, like, all these others emerge. It's awful.

Yeah, definitely. I did a show called Skyline Drive, which is about a skeptical look at astrology. It's really good. And I would love for people to check it out if they have the time. But honestly, Robert, Sophie, this is so fun. I know I was just shocked and saying, oh, my God, more than I probably should have. Yeah. It was both horrifying and, I don't know, really enlightening.

And now I need that Snickers bar of Xanax. That's right.

Behind the Bastards · Part One: The Grifters Behind The Fake Autism 'Cure' Industry · 1 Apr 2025 podcast

Thank you so much for having me, Robert and Sophie. I'm thrilled to be here.

Yeah. I mean, a jolly pirate, I hope.

That is so sweet. It really is. It's like the way that we used to talk in college, really nerdy and late into the night and just making each other laugh. And it feels nice that we get to do that still all these years later. Excellent.

I was so excited to come here and just have a box of popcorn and listen to you tell me stories.

Oh, that's for like the bends or whatever.

And don't they use it for NFL players? I feel like certain athletes do it, right? Yeah.

Yeah, that's not what my understanding was.

It doesn't seem like a smart idea.

And so for these treatments, are they just coming like once? Is it like one a done?

Oh, so like, and was this the first time that this kid had been there or had it been a number of times?

Oh, my God. And roasting is the wrong word.

Until the 1980s? Yeah. That's crazy.

I mean, that still must be the case, right? Like there's so many like. High-performing, perfectionist parents who have kids who are autistic. One, they don't want to believe their kids are autistic for a very long time. They don't see it in front of them. But that sense that you can fix it or cure it is so desperate for so many of them.

Right. Yeah. No, I mean, there's an article, like an opinions piece in the New York Times this week from the editor of the journal Science who has, you know, said he figured out he had autism at age 53 and was talking about how like, you know, it's made him so much better of a scientist and he sees things that other people don't.

But also that late understanding that like he's in this field and didn't realize that he had autism until such a late period.

When you think about these parents, obviously they spend so much time warning the kids that they thought they'd have, right?
