The Application and Misapplication of Evidence-based Practice: Part 1 of 3 Episodes on Non-Speakers and Gestalt Language ProcessingBarry is joined by Jess Teixeira, certified speech- language pathologist and a member of the Uniquely Human Podcast in defining and discussing the concept and practice of evidence-based practice (EBP). In particular, the discussion focuses on the application and misapplication of EBP specific to two issues of significance for autistic and neurodivergent individuals – approaches to support non-speakers, and therapy approaches for children who are gestalt language processors. This episode serves as the foundation for the two following episodes that address each of these issues in greater depth.Learn more on our websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On today's Morning Edition, the fate of three elementary schools at ASD has been decided as the board meeting went late into the night to pass a crucial budget. We'll break down what was cut and what remains. Later on, a family from Eagle River took a trip to Mexico. Great place, terrible timing. Their vacation was upended as they were trapped in the airport during the outbreak of violence. We'll check in with them and make sure everyone is safe.

In this episode, we paused the series of answering some questions that are asked most by parents according to Chat GPT. Bryce has had some recent social interactions with strangers during vacation as well as "friends of a friend" that were learning opportunities. We also talk about February highlights including the our drive to West Virginia to play in the snow.

​In the case identified as Case Number CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan C. Kohberger's legal team has filed a motion titled "Motion to Strike Death Penalty RE: Autism Spectrum Disorder." This motion asserts that Kohberger's diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diminishes his culpability, undermines the retributive and deterrent objectives of capital punishment, and increases the risk of wrongful conviction and sentencing. The defense emphasizes that ASD impairs communication, reasoning, social skills, and impulse control, factors that should be considered when determining appropriate sentencing.The motion further argues that executing individuals with ASD contradicts evolving standards of decency and that such defendants may struggle to effectively assist in their defense or convey remorse, potentially leading to unfair sentencing. The defense highlights the heightened need for reliability in capital cases and contends that ASD-related impairments could result in misinterpretations by jurors, thereby increasing the likelihood of an erroneous death sentence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:022425-Motion-Strike-Death-Penalty-RE-Autism-Spectrum-Disorder.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

What does sourdough have to do with an autism diagnosis?More than you think.In this episode of Raising Autistic Disciples, I sit down with Courtney Moody of Acts of Sourdough to talk about motherhood, marriage, discipline, safe foods, Domino's pizza… and what happens when the sky “isn't blue anymore” after receiving a diagnosis.Courtney shares candidly about: The guilt that creeps in with every questionnaire The “tango” between “It's my fault” and “It was always going to be this way” Navigating the controversial conversations around obedience and autism Loving your child without clipping their wings Protecting your marriage when the weight of parenting feels overwhelming And why a diagnosis is an open door — not the driver's seatWe talk about tough love, safe foods, spiritual surrender, and the beauty of raising autistic children for God's glory — even when it feels exhausting.This conversation is honest, layered, and full of grace for the mom who just walked out of an evaluation appointment cross-eyed and overwhelmed.If you are in the early days of diagnosis…If you're wrestling with guilt…If you're learning how to love your spouse while loving your child fiercely…This one is for you.

We here at Talk About It are so excited about our expansion into helping raise awareness for conditions that are related to epilepsy. One of the conditions at the top of our list is autism spectrum disorder. Did you know that approximately 25-30% of children with ASD will develop epilepsy in their lifetime? But not only are these conditions medically correlated, they also share similarities when it comes to bullying, stigma, job prospects, dating, and everyday life experience. That means, of course, we need to TALK ABOUT IT! Greg sits down in studio with his good friend Holly Robinson Peete, an actress who has lit up our screen since her breakout role in 21 Jump Street in 1987 and has gone on to star in so many of our favorite movies and shows. Together with her husband, former NFL quarterback and Heisman trophy candidate Rodney Peete, they started the HollyRod Foundation to help families battling a Parkinson's diagnosis, but expanded into autism after their eldest son RJ, a twin, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The foundation helps to provide medical, financial, and emotional support for families affected by these conditions.  With the guidance and support of his amazing parents, RJ has defied the odds to overcome all of the "nevers" - never saying he loves them, never getting a quality education, never being able to socialize, never being able to hold a job - a stigma that still plagues families dealing with this disorder, and increasingly being mainstreamed by people in power. RJ now is a clubhouse attendant for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and an integral part of their team's family dynamic. Holly and Greg discuss his role on the team, the bullying that their family went through, dating on the spectrum, and the importance of job placement for those with spectrum disorders. This is such a heartwarming episode and you will learn so much! Don't miss it! Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

A kobold approaches! He's looking for someone to help him with his social skills to gain greater friends at the taverns. Do you roll for behavior analysis clinical skills? Or attack him with your +2 broadsword? While we've definitely discussed role-playing activities in training contexts, recent years have seen a huge increase in interest in gamification in learning a variety of skills. One area of research is in the use of tabletop role-playing games in therapeutic and clinical settings. But is there any research to back up the hype? This week we're joined by active RPG player clinical user, Danielle Yang, to dive into the research base as we work to answer the question: could the use of RPGs in treatment be considered behavior analytic? Interested in learning more about this topic? Danielle offers a deeper-dive course into the use of RPGs in treatment and skill planning. You can also join her Discord to chat with other RPG/ABA practitioners. And keep your eye out for a bonus episode this month where we'll be demoing just HOW a tabletop RPG could be used in a clinical setting. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Barry and Dave discuss neurodivergence across generations in a family, with Rebecca Rosenzweig and her mother Dr. Karen Carson exploring how neurodivergent traits have been present in both maternal and paternal lines, with Karen sharing her late-in-life diagnosis of autism and ADHD, while Rebecca discussed her diagnosis and the challenges of sensory processing differences. They share personal stories about accommodations and support within their family, including how Karen's intuitive understanding of Rebecca's needs helped create a supportive home environment. The conversation also covered the importance of recognizing neurodivergence without pathologizing natural behaviors, and the need to balance masking with authentic self-expression, particularly in different social and professional contexts.Find out more on our Website!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“We need trustees for sale because you changed your house!”___P and D owned land as 50/50 TiCs. P applied to have s 66G trustees appointed to sell it: [1]D resisted, claiming this breached an oral agreement: [2]P's claimed $1M in damages to be paid from D's share. D XC'd around $350K: [4] – [9]P and D bought the land to build 2 dwellings of the same value for their respective families: [10] – [11], [99]They agreed on how the development would go: [8], [12]D, who controlled a building company, would cause the work to be done: [13], [14]An architect was engaged by D before commencement: [22]Following a QS estimate, D's firm issued a quote for $985K to build based on the plans: [25]P and D faced challenges obtaining finance: [31]In May 2017 D, having opposed pulling out of the arrangement, sold their home to finance the project: [34]D changed the construction materials in D's house, increasing costs (and, we infer, building quality). P did not agree: [35], [95]P and D entered into a new contract with D's building company to do the same work, but for $860K…: [38]The changed price was to show serviceability to possible lenders: [39]Construction progressed but the finances were exhausted before completion. P suspected D spent the money on other projects D's company was working on: [43]In 2019, further money was borrowed: [44], [45]Later in 2021 further finance was obtained, and an OC issued: [47], [48]The land was subdivided: [50]Negotiations for apportioning costs failed: [49], [52]P commenced these proceedings and brought defect proceedings: [53]The Court reviewed the principles relating to the making of s 66G orders: [54] – [58]A s 66G order might not be made where a contract stands in the way. 4 questions arise, including whether there's an agreed “exit strategy”: [57], [58]D said there was an agreement for one subdivided property to pass to each of P and D on completion, with an accounting for costs to follow – this exit strategy, D said, prevented a s 66G order: [65], [66]No term explicitly prohibited appointment of s 66G trustees: [92]The Court found the “exit strategy” D contended for would only apply if construction proceeded pursuant to the plans. As D amended their home (with the use of different construction materials) construction did not proceed pursuant to the plans, and so the exit strategy failed: [93], [94], [95]Regarding onus: it was not for P to prove entitlement to a s 66G, but for D to disprove. D failed: [98] – [100]After dealing with issues flowing from P putting forward 1 (and not the required 2) trustees, and for seeking unusually generous compensation, the orders were made: [106], [107]D failed to establish entitlement to any additional funds: [109]Trustees were appointed, with an account to follow, with costs to be paid from the corpus. D's XC was dismissed with costs: [135], [136]___Please follow James d'Apice, Coffee and a Case Note, and Gravamen on your favourite platform!www.gravamen.com.au

Welcome back to “Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick.” In today's episode, Michael John Cusick and Julianne Cusick dive deep into the world of neurodiversity, focusing on the unique challenges faced by couples where one partner is neurodivergent, often navigating undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or related conditions. Drawing on both personal experience and extensive clinical work, Julianne Cusick shares valuable frameworks—including the “umbrella” of neurodiversity—and explains how overlapping diagnoses like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders often connect.Together, Michael and Julianne tackle the realities of trauma within neurodiverse relationships, especially the emotional impact on neurotypical partners who may feel unseen or misunderstood. They unpack terms like Cassandra Syndrome and Ongoing Traumatic Relationship Syndrome, revealing why typical marriage advice sometimes falls short for these couples. You'll also hear practical insights about the importance of attunement, how the absence of emotional mirroring can lead to lasting pain, and new paths forward—like specialized neurodiversity coaching and frameworks that finally bring clarity and hope.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to Raising Autistic Disciples! After a full year away from the mic, Larah and Colin Roberts are back with a “year in review” catch-up, a few honest laughs (yes… including the legendary Pooper Bowl anniversary), and a question Larah gets from other Christian parents all the time:“I struggle to tell people my son has autism. I want him treated like every other child. How did you handle this?”In this episode, Larah and Colin talk through the tension so many parents feel: wanting to protect your child from being defined by a diagnosis, while also realizing that hiding it can create more exhaustion, confusion, and isolation. They share practical ways they've learned to talk about autism in trusted circles, what to do when people respond with ignorant or hurtful comments, and why the gospel gives us freedom to be honest without shame.They also preview what's coming this season, including conversations with autism moms, church leaders, and friends with different perspectives—because we can disagree and still be kind… and still worship together.In this episode, we talk about: The one-year anniversary of potty training success (and why you should absolutely celebrate the wins) Graham's first airplane ride… and the “Great job, everybody. We did it!” moment A scary summer eye injury, and how it revealed something important about strong connections to people, places, and experiences Why not talking about autism can build emotional walls and make relationships harder The difference between identity in Christ and the reality of a diagnosis as a helpful “map” How to tell your trusted people before you feel like you have it all figured out What to do when family or church folks say the wrong thing (“He's not autistic… he just needs more discipline…”) Why hiding a diagnosis can actually be unkind long-term The role of the church and community: we need running partners, reminders, and perspectiveKey takeaway:Your autistic child is not something to be hidden. They are an image bearer. And the goal isn't to make autism their identity—it's to live in the freedom of truth, so others can understand, support, and walk with you.

In this episode, we're joined by Sue Larkey to discuss practical, neuro-affirming ways to support neurodivergent students in the classroom. Sue shares insights on classroom design, behaviour as communication, common early-year challenges, and how teachers and support staff can better support students with ASD, ADHD and co-occurring profiles.

Heeeeeey, it's Rob's birthday. Time to pick this month's theme! Maybe it's the near decade's worth of podcasting, but this February, Rob decided that his impeding aging anniversary should also receive celebration in the form of "OOPS! All Rob picked articles". So, given carte blanche to talk about anything in the world of ABA, what did he choose? Well, first, he took the week off while we unlock last year's Winter Book Club on "The Science of Consequences" with a bonus interview with author Dr. Susan Schneider (interested in 2.5 CEs for free? Upgrading to the $10 level on Patreon is your answer). After that, he brings special guest, Danielle Yang, to the table to learn about the state of therapeutic role-playing games and how your weekly D+D game could be added into your ABA services. And finally, because it's been far too long and is one of the most mind-blowingly awesome procedures in his 20 years in the field, Rob brings back the Preschool Life Skills for a record-breaking THIRD time! The best part about Rob's birthday is by just listening to these episodes, you've already gotten him all the gifts he could ever want. NOTE: We talk a lot about the upcoming changes to the website.

Send us a textWhen a child is emotionally dysregulated, it's easy for parents to feel unsure, exhausted, or like they're constantly reacting instead of responding.In this episode of Mother's Guide Through Autism, host Brigitte Shipman sits down with Sara Lewis Hartley, a healthcare leader with over 20 years of experience and the author of the Purposefully Me children's book series, to explore what emotional regulation really means—and how parents can support it without burning themselves out.This conversation goes beyond surface-level tips. Sara shares practical, compassionate insights about creating emotional safety at home, why regulation starts with the parent, and how understanding emotions—rather than trying to control them—can change the dynamic between parent and child.

The results of studies revealed in the paper #published in Volume 17, Issue 12, titled “Age-specific DNA methylation alterations in sperm at imprint control regions may contribute to the risk of autism spectrum disorder in offspring,” indicate that advanced paternal age increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children, potentially due to sperm epigenetic changes. To explore this, the authors performed an epigenome-wide association study on sperm from 63 men using the Illumina 450K array, identifying 14,622 age-related differentially methylated CpGs (DMCs), with many linked to imprinted genes and imprint control regions (ICRs). These alterations may disrupt gene expression and contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders like ASD. Several imprinted genes identified—including OTX1, PRDM16, and others—are associated with ASD, warranting further research into their role in paternal age effects on autism. Further genetic research may clarify how paternal age affects autism. Changes in DNA methylation within ICRs before conception could add to ASD's complexity. Though measured effects were small, even minor sperm epigenetic changes could influence populations as fatherhood is delayed. Preventive and educational programs could benefit public health.

A major Charter challenge hits a wall as the Supreme Court of Canada declines to hear the case on mandatory roadside breath testing. This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko explain why the decision effectively ends the legal fight over mandatory ASD demands — and what it means for drivers going forward. The discussion also turns to growing concerns around police surveillance, as a Surrey city councillor proposes expanded police access to traffic cameras, raising serious privacy and overreach questions. The episode wraps with a troubling story involving political influence, roadblocks near a golf course, and why transparency still matters in policing decisions. Listen now on all streaming platforms.

This week we review a recent large scale PHIS database study on pericardial effusion following congenital heart surgery. Which operations other than ASD are most highly associated with the development of an effusion? What might be some approaches both surgically and medically to reduce the chances of these developing or requiring intervention? What are the implications of a pericardial effusion after surgery? How many require readmission for this complication? Dr. Mario O'Connor, who is a congenital heart surgical research fellow at UT Austin, shares his insights into his recent publication. DOI: 10.1177/21501351251322876

Send us a textIn this compilation episode, we explore how nervous system regulation plays a foundational role in children's focus, emotional balance, and ability to engage—especially for kids with sensory processing differences and autism.Drawing from two past conversations on the podcast, this episode highlights how overactive or underactive sensory systems can impact learning, behavior, and daily life. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, these clips offer insight into body-based, nervous-system–informed approaches that support regulation and felt safety.You'll hear perspectives on Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), including how these approaches work with the nervous system to reduce anxiety, improve engagement, and support developmental growth. In this episode, you'll hear:- Why nervous system regulation matters for children with sensory processing differences- How CST and SSP support regulation and felt safety in different ways- Practical insights and real-world examples from clinicians working with childrenEpisode Chapters:00:00 Understanding Sensory Systems in Children02:02 The Role of Craniosacral Therapy07:17 Real-Life Success Stories08:34 Introduction to Polyvagal Theory09:50 Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)11:54 Transformative Impact of SSPOriginal Episodes:This Gentle Therapy Will Leave Your Kids Calm & Relaxed with Dr. Sally Fryer Dietz: https://www.mothersguidethroughautism.com/podcast/episode-142Soothe Your Child's Nervous System with Safe and Sound Protocol with Kelly Beins: https://www.mothersguidethroughautism.com/podcast/episode-139

About:Today, Dan and Stephanie interview Jon Seidl, author of Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic. Neurodivergent men are 9 times more likely than their non-neurodivergent peers to develop an alcohol or substance use/abuse problem. The later in life diagnosed neurodivergent man (with ADHD or ASD) with a co-occurring issue of anxiety and or depression is the most vulnerable to alcohol or substance use, and the risk is higher for those who have suffered untreated childhood trauma. Hear our heart- this is not about shaming or blaming, this is about your healing and being set free! Jon talks about getting to the root of the problem: "Drinking is not the problem to solve- the unresolved issue that leads you to drinking is the problem to solve." As Leslie Vernick has said, "Drinking is not a marriage work issue. It is an individual issue that causes marriage problems."Dan and Stephanie feel passionately that marriage work should not be the focus of a couple if there is an active alcohol or substance issue.For the last 15 years, Jonathon M. Seidl (Jon) has been telling stories. In fact, he's written over 10,000 posts in his lifetime, first after helping start the top-50 news site TheBlaze in 2010, then as the editor-in-chief of the popular non-profit I Am Second. He writes, speaks, and consults on the power of storytelling, radical vulnerability, faith, mental health, and addiction.In 2024, he revealed his own struggle with alcohol, explaining how he was the Christian who became an alcoholic, not the other way around. His personal story—from spiraling into addiction to how he climbed out of it— is the focus of his next book, “Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic,” slated for release on October 7, 2025.His previous book on anxiety, “Finding Rest,” instantly became a #1 Amazon bestseller, topping the charts in several categories like anxieties and phobias, mood disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorder. In fact, it shot up to become the #17 new release on all of Amazon and became a top 100 bestseller on all of Amazon as well.Jon has seen how the power of storytelling and radical vulnerability can transform people, businesses, and culture, especially after sharing his own story of battling anxiety, OCD, and alcoholism. His passion is to help people with mental health struggles and addictions, while also sharing what he's learned, telling stories for—and working with—some of the media's biggest names and organizations, including Arthur Brooks, Glenn Beck, Kirk Cameron, and Chip and Joanna Gaines.In addition to his writing, he consults businesses, leaders, and non-profits on how to tell their stories through his digital media and content creation firm, The Veritas Network, and runs a daily devotional called The Veritas Daily. He's also currently finishing his master's in theological studies from Southwestern Seminary (SWBTS) and will graduate in December 2025.Originally from Wisconsin, he lives in Frisco, TX, with his wife, Brett, and his young children, Annie and Jack. 

EP67 of the Unspoken Words podcast features a discussion between Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and licensed Occupational Therapist and the creator and host of Adulting with Autism Podcast, April Ratchford, on the intersection of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Selective Mutism in adulthood. In the episode, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and April Ratchford explore how ASD and Selective Mutism often co-occur and why adults are frequently misdiagnosed or misunderstood. They examine what SM actually looks like across different social settings in adults with ASD, and discuss the unique factors—including sensory processing, social burnout, and executive functioning—that influence communication challenges.--Chapters: (03:57) Understanding Autism vs. Selective Mutism – Key Differences(07:56) How ASD and SM Present Differently Across Social Settings(14:54) The WHYs Behind Mutism – Sensory Processing and Social Burnout(23:20) Tailored Treatment Strategies for Dual Diagnosis Adults(33:17) Practical Tools and Workplace Accommodations for Success- Ask Dr. E a question and we might answer it on a future podcast episode!

Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDFCvQimWNEb158ll6Q4cA/videosPlease support the SFN.
