I learned a very valuable lesson about respect. Something kids today sadly (especially in the U.S.) are badly lacking, respect for your parents.

There are many degrees of autism. I work with children on the "spectrum" as it's referred. Many are somewhat functional, and exhibit violent and aggressive behaviors. They can be physically controlled, sometimes with difficulty. They understand spoken words very well.
The behavior in the video is very much in line with behaviors exhibited by children with autism. Unlike my diagnosis of your ignorance, it's not a diagnosis of autism.

When I was younger, I was a pretty bad kid. I got in trouble a lot and got spanked a lot. It probably helped shape me into a relatively normal person. I recall one time, in my early teens. I was upset at my mother for something I can't even remember. It wasn't even important, I think I wanted to to go hang out with friends or something.
She was washing the dishes, and I was throwing a hissy fit. She ignored me. So, I called her a b*tch.
And she threw a skillet at me. It beaned me real good in the noggin. I remember being shocked, bleeding, crying. Dad came in wondering what all the racket was about. I said "Mom threw a pan at me!". "Why?"
My mom responded "She called me b*tch."
My dad laughed his way out of the kitchen.
But you know what? To this day I have never called my mom the b-word again. I learned a very valuable lesson about respect. Something kids today sadly (especially in the U.S.) are badly lacking, respect for your parents.

"Kids today..."
Do you realize that even the ancients talked about how bad "kids today" are? What a tired old trope! People have been hitting their kids since time immemorial, and they still hit them today.
Research shows kids turn out better when their parents reason with them rather than using corporal punishment. For example in the book "The Altruistic Personality" the authors found that children whose parents reasoned with them were more likely (as adults) to risk their own lives by defying authority figures to help others.
