Well, I've not experienced this (probably because I don't watch Youtube videos all that often) but I reckon it has something to do with British people having great accents, so everyone loves listening to them speak.  |
In response to the topic: I wonder, but I cast my vote for no. I barely drink tea. It tastes like chalk.  
And yes. Brits have awesome accents. And so do Russians. |

Perhaps, if there is indeed a greater number of Autism videos from the UK in proportion to our population, it is because it doesn't have to be as hidden here? Certainly, from what I've read, we're ahead of the rest of the west when it comes to Autism (I don't know about the East; Korea ought to be good, because of their large Autist population...).

More likely its drinking beer at room temperature that does it. |

Jokes aside, relating to the tea drinking. Is there a chance flouride in British domestic water causes or adds long term to autism? And other things like preservatives / additives in our food / the quality of natural food and whether it has been sprayed? I begin to wonder. A lot of the healthier, more aware or active people I met do not drink tap water very much here.

Yes to all, & quality, if you process something too much like say jam, the colour of it is not really red, that gets added back in. This notion of little things won't hert people, but not taking the big picture for the real world. As in lots of contact with other stuff.

You could add a filter onto your water system before it goes to the tap. That will filter stuff out.

Western Europe tends to be more liberal... Perhaps it have something to do with its more secular society, as opposed to North America, where the more central areas may still think that an autistic child with epilepsy is "possessed by the devil"..
Mmm, I like tea though, possible correlation.. |
