Doctor Reacts To AWKWARD Dhar Mann Videos

I've reacted to Dhar Mann's medical videos before, and they made me cringe. Looks like he's uploaded some new ones since then and I decided to see if the quality had improved at all. Turns out... not so much. Today we talk about bullying children with ASD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, vitiligo, drinking and driving, breaking your wrist, faking tourette's syndrome, and enduring a coma. Let me know if there are any other videos I may have missed!

The videos I reacted to can be found here:

I am autistic. The way you talk about autism is heartwarming, Mike. Thank you for saying these things and treating us like humans instead of letting our disabilities define us. Also, siblings aren’t always that horrible to their autistic siblings. My younger sister is patient, kind, and understanding, even though her older sister sometimes has trouble with understanding social cues. She’s one of my best friends, and I’m lucky to have a sister like her. Furthermore, you’re an awesome doctor who treats people with compassion and kindness. Plus you donated all that money to feeding America, and that’s freaking awesome. Keep being you. 💕

"I admittedly was a little bit rough on the last Dhar Mann react video"

No Mike. You said what needed to be said. 👍

I was nearly killed by a drunk driver 14 years ago and my entire live was turned upside down ever since, but even I feel like drinking and driving after seeing that Dhar Mann fake coma wakeup call skit!!!

9:55 THANK YOU! Its SO annoying as a neurodivergent person when everyone assumes that were “dumb” or “stupid” just because we have a disorder we cant control. NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

[turnerwilkes]

As a person with Tourettes, That was honestly really funny watching someone without Tourettes trying to mimic them, because they are so unnatural and forced that its just hillarious

[purityvsprofanity]

i really love how he said that we don't have to love autistic people bcz they can play chess, do math, and win basketball games. we have to love people for who they are. just being a human makes you so frickin' special and valuable, and nothing can change that. thanks Doctor Mike

The segment with Autism hit me hard, I was shocked and overwhelmed! I'm 20 years old and autistic, i still have issues with my autism, but it also helps me out in some situations, especially when it comes to my memory.

Sometimes words can't describe the amount of unnatural acting existing in some shows, let alone unrealistic facts... and guess what... MEDICAL FACTS! 🤦‍♀️

He's a doctor and knows the meaning of cap better than teens. instant respect 🙏🙏

[lunaequinox]

As a woman with autism, hearing how honestly and respectfully you talked about it was a breath of fresh air, especially considering how I often see it portrayed online. Consider my subscription a thank you for this and all your other informative videos!

[LeilaTheWeeb]

My friend has autism and sometimes I have emotional breakdowns and she’s always there to comfort me. I always thank her for helping me with situations where I’m overstimulated and such❤

Waking up from a ten year coma and realizing you also have a horrible hangover

[hannahjane]

As an autistic person, the amount of gratitude and appreciation I just experienced when you, as a medical professional, presented an EDUCATED advocacy model rather than an outdated ‘we need treatment/cure’ model is more than words. Thank you man

[cupid.is.so.dumb]

I have vitiligo, even if just in one small area and not linked to anything else, and it's honestly a beautiful thing. It makes me soo happy with the way you addressed the issue. Everyone, no matter what's going on in your lives or if you have a condition, stay true to yourself! (and take advice from the pro, dr mike)

[clairewells]

Hey Dr. Mike. I'm really appreciative of the way you described tourettes and people faking them for attention. I have a unspecified tic disorder and came back from school an hour or two ago feeling really down. They had been flaring up again due to stress after being nearly not a problem for a month and a half. This is really what I needed to make my day better, thank you. High school is really hard with a chronic neurological condition.

I have to admit, as a recently diagnosed adult with ASD and ADHD, it's nice to hear a doctor value the abilities of people like me. My diagnostic psychologist said that I have one of the highest reading comprehension quotient that he's ever seen. That means that I'm able to learn at an astounding rate. It's really nice to hear that this is something that's a superpower instead of something that needs to be "fixed"

[hellomrlol]

It’s very important to here someone so prominent speak about Autism. As someone who has lived through it, I have broken all of the conventional aspects of it: I made it on tv, I had prominent roles in many of my musicals, and most importantly I started my YouTube channel. Thank you again Dr. Mike. 😊

6:05 HELP THE SIDE EYE 😭😭 anyway binging doctor mike's videos all over again 😔

When I was 7, I was misdiagnosed with a tic by my then pediatrician, and he told my mom “If you keep telling her to stop, eventually she will.” This went on for FIVE YEARS. Five years of me being essentially bullied by adults and kids, people asking “what’s wrong with your eyes?” “Why are you eyes so weird?” “Are you possessed?” “Stop, that’s ugly.” “You’re gonna be grounded if you don’t stop.” Then after those 5 years, I saw a new pediatrician who noticed an “episode;” and she immediately referred me to a neurologist, and that ultimately led to me being diagnosed with epilepsy, the seizures being myoclonic seizures that occurred HUNDREDS of times a day and only half a second long, and now they maybe occur once every few weeks. To this day, I have a hard time looking people in the eyes because every time I used to, people would make fun of me when they saw a seizure. This is just a reminder that if you see someone’s body do something weird, don’t jump to conclusions and think they are trying to be funny.

I literally got so excited when he MENTIONED Type 1 Diabetes. So many people ask me ridiculous questions such as, “We’re you eating too much?”
It felt so nice hearing him specify it
