In this 2026 YouTube short, Dr. Aaron Hartman recounts the 1970s "refrigerator mother" theory that blamed mothers for their children's autism, describing it as a classic case of medical gaslighting. He argues that similar patterns of blaming women and children persist in modern healthcare, urging viewers to recognize and challenge these harmful narratives. The video concludes with a call to join a movement aimed at ending medical gaslighting and reshaping the future of healthcare, inviting viewers to follow and become active participants.
