I'd like to hear what you have to say about living without hope. My therapist and I have been... 00:01:18 2. Hey Kati, I'm a 25F with ASD. I have been abused by over 50 people (after reaching 50 I stopped counting) in almost every way imaginable, even by people who were supposed to love and/or protect me, even by therapists and teachers, from when I was 4 years old until recently. I don't even really know what the word “safe” means. I have helped or held space for many people dealing with pain and grief, but I never learned how to receive help for myself. I was shamed and physically punished by my parents for even the smallest acts of self-care, self-soothing or my ASD symptoms themselves... 00:09:27 3. How do I get past the fact that therapy itself requires an imbalance of intimacy and sharing and just overall is not an organic give and take relationship? 00:18:07 4. How to stop obsessing over the world we live in….and how scary it's becoming for our children. 00:25:12 5. I feel like I have nothing exciting to look forward to. This has been ongoing for years. 00:29:38 6. How can you cope with re traumatisation when you can't get out of the situation? 00:33:49 7. Is it possible for untreated mental illness to be traumatizing? I think I had a period of depression for a few months when I was 12-13ish, but I never told anyone and would always say I was fine when asked. I was functional enough to shower, eat, do school... 00:33:49 My new book is available for pre-order: Why Do I Keep Doing This? → https://geni.us/XoyLSQ If you've ever felt stuck, this book is for you.

In this episode, Kimberly and Alex discuss his extensive background in working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He spent much of those years taking a non-traditional approach from just behavioral to prioritizing fun and community. This work led him to keenly understanding the importance of local agriculture, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection, and eventually he began working as an animal butcher and supporting his wife's work, The Wild Nutritionist. Aspects of their discussion are connected through the thread of the importance of holistic care for ASD individuals as well as local farming, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection.   Bio Alex Johnson is a father, butcher, former autism specialist, husband of Kate Pope, The Wild Nutritionist, and long-term friend of Kimberly's. His background in theater studies, and then psychology, led him to working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder for over a decade. Understanding the needs of this population then helped him transition to regenerative agriculture and animal butchery.    What He Shares: –Working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder –How and why ASD has changed in recent years –Harms and limitations of diagnoses and labels –Transitioning to regenerative agriculture and butchery –Prioritizing community through local farming   What You'll Hear: –How Alex began working with kids –Studied theater and psychology –Role play and autism in 2010 –How insurance changed autism  –In home and in community teaching to kids with ASD –Bringing families together with potlucks –DSM-5 refining definition of ASD –Disproportionately diagnosed in boys versus girls –Severity ratings (1, 2, 3) of ASD –Issues with self-diagnoses –Performative vulnerability –Challenges in diagnosing ASD –Social, Communication, and Behavior  –Familial approaches to ASD and community –Neurodivergence and ASD labels –Limitations of checklists of diagnoses –Gut issues and ASD –Behavioral versus holistic and community care –Regenerative agriculture, nutrition, and ASD –Transitioning to animal butchery –Small-scale, mobile harvest operation  –Mobile Harvest Truck –Art of animal butchery and carrying traditions –Politics and farming –Community care in farming and rural areas –Nutritional needs for families –Getting kids involved in family nutrition –Importance of local farmers markets –Talking to local farmers –Buying seasonal produce –Harms of individual priorities versus community –Returning to community care   Resources Website: https://regenerativecookingschool.com/ IG: @wildnutrionist  

Responding with “Where's the research for that?” may be quick, but it can strain professional relationships. Today, we're diving into a simple framework you can start using in your school or clinic—starting tomorrow!So, how do we navigate disagreements when our training and backgrounds differ? The truth is—our way isn't the only way.Consider this quote from the article Maintaining Professional Relationships in an Interdisciplinary Setting: Strategies for Navigating Nonbehavioral Treatment Recommendations for Individuals with Autism:“An interdisciplinary collaboration for individuals with ASD involves combining the strengths of multiple disciplines in order to maximize client outcomes.”As we walk through the decision-making flowchart featured in the article, remember: keep an open mind, take time to understand the treatment in question, and always prioritize the client's outcome and safety.Stay tuned for more of my 10-minute episodes, where I answer the most commonly asked questions.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:A simple framework for avoiding conflict in collaboration.The importance of a multidisciplinary approach.10-minute summer series.Mentioned In This Episode:Maintaining Professional Relationships in an Interdisciplinary Setting: Strategies for Navigating Nonbehavioral Treatment Recommendations for Individuals with Autism - PMCJoin Our Ethics Course!

Send us a textIt's a really bad year for measles. Cases are spiking in countries where children should have been fully vaccinated, such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico. More than 1,000 cases have been reported in the United States just in the first half of 2025, with at least 3 deaths. The death of a child in Texas early in 2025 was the first time a child had died from the infection in the United States since 2003. It's even worse in Canada, with more than 2,500 reported cases. Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, thanks to vaccination, but this very infectious virus has come roaring back because of a decline in vaccination. The decline is overwhelmingly linked to fears and false rumors about vaccines – especially the hard-to-kill notion that the measles vaccine might somehow cause autism.Now, one of the leading proponents of this thoroughly disproven idea, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has become U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and he's bent on both casting more doubt on vaccines, and on renewing fears about autism.He got more ammunition in the spring of 2025 with the latest surveillance report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing that about 1 in 31, or 3.2 percent, of children aged 8 years old has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This is up from 1 in 36 in 2020 and 1 in 54 in 2008. Kennedy has called for collecting more data on people with autism while also shedding even more doubt on the safety of vaccines in general.The CDC itself still says vaccines do not cause autism, but Kennedy, widely blamed for stoking vaccine hesitancy that helped fuel an outbreak of measles in Samoa in 2019 that killed 83 people, is in a position to further weaken vaccination efforts while spreading misinformation about autism.“It takes 10 minutes to create a vaccine scare and at least 10 years to overcome it,” says Dr. Judith S. Miller, a psychologist in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a senior scientist and training director in the Center for Autism Research at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.Better screening and broader criteria are likely the main reason autism diagnoses are on the rise, says Dr. Miller, who is also Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.Listen as Dr. Miller discusses why it's a waste of time to re-examine the disproven links between vaccines and autism, why establishing new government databases may actually hold back research, and what autism professionals really need from the federal government.

In Case Number CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan C. Kohberger has filed a reply to the State's response regarding his motion to strike the death penalty due to his diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The defense asserts that Kohberger's ASD results in significant impairments in communication, reasoning, social skills, and understanding others' reactions—factors that, according to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Atkins v. Virginia, diminish moral culpability and render the death penalty unconstitutional for individuals with such disabilities. They emphasize that these deficits have been present since early childhood and persist into adulthood, affecting Kohberger's adaptive functioning despite his high intelligence quotient (IQ). The defense references the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), noting that individuals with ASD may exhibit a substantial gap between intellectual abilities and adaptive functioning, leading to challenges in daily living, self-care, socialization, and communication. ​to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ty ABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Developmental relationship-based interventions have been around for many years, but have not received the level of attention that intervention approaches based on applied behavior analysis have received. Drs. Josh Feder and Andrea Davis, along with a number of colleagues, including Barry, are currently involved in collaborative efforts to bring greater awareness and funding to DRBI interventions. They discuss the justification and research basis for the work currently being undertaken to provide families with greater options for supporting their children's development.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

​Bryan Kohberger, charged with the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to his defense attorney, Anne Taylor. Taylor argues that this diagnosis should exempt him from the death penalty, contending that ASD diminishes his culpability and that his behaviors, such as avoiding eye contact and repetitive movements, might be misinterpreted by jurors as signs of guilt or lack of remorse. She also highlights that Kohberger's ASD-related communication challenges hinder his ability to participate effectively in his defense.Legal experts, however, are skeptical of this argument's success. They note that while ASD can be considered a mitigating factor during sentencing, it does not typically preclude the application of the death penalty. In Idaho, the death penalty is applicable unless the defendant is intellectually disabled, a criterion distinct from ASD. Therefore, despite the defense's efforts, it is unlikely that Kohberger's ASD diagnosis will prevent prosecutors from seeking capital punishment in this case.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kohberger's team: Autism should negate Idaho death penalty.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the earliest official D.C. Pride event. D.C. is also hosting WorldPride, one of the largest international celebrations of LGBTQ+ communities in the world.But some LGBTQ+ people say it doesn't feel like a time for celebration. Amid mounting political and cultural attacks, a rise in hate crimes and slashing of health care, some fear the rollback of hard-won rights. As D.C. decks itself in rainbows and welcomes WorldPride, many LGBTQ+ people are finding inspiration not by imagining a brighter future — but instead by revisiting a more hostile past. Reporter Marissa Lang has been out all over the D.C. region speaking to trailblazers of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. What advice can these living legends offer in difficult times?Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff, who also contributed reporting. It was mixed by Sam Bair and edited by Maggie Penman.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I discuss the intersection of neurodivergence, specifically Autism and ADHD, and LGBTQ+ identities. I start the episode by discussing Pride Month, defining neurodivergence, as well as defining the term "neuroqueer". Next, I discuss the intersection between ASD and LGBTQ+ identities, where I discuss statistics about the co-morbidity between the two, theories as to why there is such overlap, and unique challenges ASD-LGBTQ+ individuals face. Then, I discuss the intersection between ADHD and LGBTQ+ identities, including statistics, theories regarding the concordance rates, and challenges ADHD-LGBTQ+ individuals experience. I end the episode by discussing how we can affirm neuroqueer identities. Autistic Poets and Story Tellers Project⁠Resources:Gender Identity, Sexuality, and Autism by Eva A. Mendes and Meredith R.

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes registered dietician Jackie Silver, who specializes in nutrition for neurodivergent people. They discuss the unique challenges faced by the neurodiversity community, including sensory differences, interoception, and executive functioning barriers that complicate meal planning and nutrition. They also talk about practical strategies to support the neurodivergent people in your life with making good dietary choices. They identify and analyze disordered eating patterns, and discuss the significance of self-compassion in the journey towards better nutrition. TAKEAWAYS Many dietitians overlook the unique needs of neurodivergent clients. Meal planning can be overwhelming for those with executive dysfunction. It's important to work within people's "safe foods." Sensory sensitivities can greatly impact food choices and preferences. Interoception plays a crucial role in recognizing hunger and fullness cues. Mechanical eating can help those with suppressed appetites due to medication. Small, manageable changes can lead to significant improvements in nutrition. Disordered eating patterns are common among neurodivergent people, especially with ADHD. The window will open soon to join the Educator Hub! If you're a teacher, administrator, school counselor, or parent of a neurodivergent student, this community is where you can share, ask questions, and find training that will help you along your journey.

Children on the autism spectrum (ASD) present some interesting challenges when it comes to reading instruction. Part 1 of this series considered the difficulties that these children may have with decoding -- despite the fact that there are a surprising number who have hyperlexia, especially good decoding ability. However, most of these students struggle more with comprehension than decoding and this podcast explores what their comprehension problems tend to be and how they might be addressed.

Isabelle and David talk 'stimming'-AKA "Self-stimulating behavior": what is this word, where does it come from, and what does it mean to 'stim'? Perhaps spoken of more in the autism community, stimming applies to ADHD also, and can connect to not just how we use sensory inputs as ballasts or balance systems, but also unique indicators of a ADHD culture of our own. David and Isabelle dig deep with some adorable sneezes, more on the ballast systems of ships, and the tail expressions of animals along the way.----David and Isabelle describe how cat and dog tails are completely different in indicating their state. David's cat was so still with just the tip of its tail bobbing back and forth, and David pointed out that that's how you can tell a cat is happy. Which is the exact opposite of how you can tell a dog is happy, with an exuberantly wagging tail. And maybe this relates a little bit to stimming, in that someone might interpret Isabelle's bouncing leg as an indication of one internal state, when actually she is stimming and feeling very calm as she does it. There could be two ADHD camps here: one for dogs, one for cats. Perhaps most ADHDers would align with dogs, as in we tend to vibrate when we're happy. David knows when he's still and quiet he is very alert and something's wrong. Isabelle's dog is currently whining at the door and she is like her dog in that she gives her all her needs and yet she has more needs? Isabelle is curious about internal stimming, like when she ruminates or revisits things in her head to self-stimulated. David talks about this as acting in or acting out, and maybe he's doing some action, or he's thinking or connecting with an internal world. Stimming is thought of as an action, that is repetitive or relieving in some way. Acting in and acting out was something David was naming 20 years ago, but now we use the term “stimming” — and it's doing something to keep your heart rate up. Isabelle did not see it used around ADHD but it does connect, but she sees it a lot around AuDHD — it comes from diagnostic origins, but the function of it is what David describes as exhaust. If his engine is running, there's going to be something going on somewhere. Slowly picking at a nail, feeling the tension of his pants, something to help him regulate his attention—like a ballast. This sends Isabelle off on a tangent about being a tween going to see “Titanic” because she was into boat architecture after seeing documentaries about the Titanic about the ships ballast getting flooded—the idea that you have these big walls that are designed to bring on some water  in order to balance the ship. Isabelle walks around with Trex arms, and it's like she is letting some of the world in and that helps her pick what's coming at her on a sensory level, because she can't really tune out the rest anyway, it's like taking in some stimulation to stay afloat. David describes how other ballasts could be biting down on leather when getting an amputation. If you give your body something to do it can distract it. While Isabelle isa bout to go on a tangent about pain theory, her dog needs to go outside, and so indeed, behavior is communication. Now David sneezes. And it's adorable. And he has to fight the reflex to not say “F you” back, because he has sneezed adorably for a long time now and his friend David C. Would always tease him and so he'd respond lovingly with an “F you!” And so he now needs to describe it all. David then segue ways to a definition of culture. Isabelle studied anthropology and archaeology in college, and remembers a professor saying that you know a culture exists when there is an in-group and an out-group and that culture is a set of adaptations to a human's environment. For example, chimpanzees, they stick a twig in a termite mound and then they eat the termites, and thinking about it archaeologically that a being used a thing to do something that nature did not use it for, so when archaeologists speak of a culture its around distinct patterns of how things were made and the area where people lived in. If we were archaeologists of the future, if we came back to earth, could we notice distinct enough artifacts that would indicate there is some difference in this group? Or we could think of it as a series of adaptations for the environments in which we find ourselves. Referencing the NYTimes article, the parts we can resonate with, ADHD is about so many more things than that. So dysregulating because it's 70% accurately, you just left out so many important details and experts and points—that thing that pains Isabelle is that this article is so long and takes so much energy to digest and is just an aspect of the book. David points out that it states that medicine has diminishing returns, because OF COURSE it doesn't mention that medication is intended to be used with therapy and of course the medication doesn't help you with the self esteem repair or accommodation strategies so in a vacuum you get diminishing returns. Isabelle is so on board and also frustrated that this is coming at a time when the world is extra scary and intense. David names that he thinks we would see signs of ADHD culture--organizing in piles, the sheer volume of fidget spinners, etc. Isabelle agrees, the material culture alone would create an interesting set of indicators that something different is happening in certain households that is unique and also in common with one another.Stimming (aka "Self-Stimulatory Behavior) -originally attributed to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but also occurs in neurodivergent AND neurotypical or allistic (non-autistic) folks. It means repetitive physical movements, sounds, or actions that someone engages in (aka leg bouncing, finger tapping, hand flapping, twirling hair, humming, repeating words, staring, pacing, doodling, playing with fidgets, chewing gum, smelling or touching things..so many stims!).Useful for: so many things! For when your senses are overloaded or your understimulated, can help you focus and concentrate, can be a way to learn about or interact with your environment, or to cope with anxiety, stress, excitement, or big feels.Culture (Source: Oxford Language Dictionary): "the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group." OR, "anthropologically, culture is defined as a complex, shared system of learned beliefs, values, behaviors, and symbols that allows a group of people to understand and interact with the world. It's a dynamic, evolving set of practices and ideas that shape a group's identity and way of life" (from sapiens.org)The notorious NY Times article ("Are we thinking about ADHD all wrong?" by Paul Tough) David and Isabelle are referencingChimpanzees eating termites like a lollipop (AKA chimps having a material culture)Ballast: YES these are compartments designed to be flooded and dispense with water to help balance a ships weight and regulate how buoyant it is in water (how it floats) (see Wikipedia definition of "Ballast Tank" for more) AND superintricate maps and explanations of the...

Hey Friends~  Speech confidence is important for adults and kids.   Whether you are speaking in public or saying your name in front of a class, we all want to speak with confidence and certainly that what we intend to say is what will come out.  Fluency is one area of speech and language development. Many, many kids stutter when they are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and language skills.  Many parents come to me and ask - what do I do?  Does my child stutter?   Today's guest discusses fluency issues from a personal perspective.   So whether you have a toddler with a developmental stutter  or a teen who has been diagnosed with a fluency issue, this episode is for you!    Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   ABOUT THE GUEST:   Jason Heffler is an author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with and getting bullied for a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem. His book 'Tongue Tied' is a resource to illustrate how speech issues do not define children. Doctors, parents and people who stutter have connected with the book's unique message: that they do not need to be "fixed." Instead of chasing a cure, they've shared how liberating it is to embrace the truth that their voice—exactly as it is—can carry them through a life filled with all the same possibilities as others.

Dr. Dustin Sulak Home Healer Certification-BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour: Unlocking the Potential of Cannabinoids for Autism SupportOne area of exciting research involves the impact of cannabinoids – those fascinating compounds found in cannabis – on individuals with ASD. A study examining salivary biomarkers revealed that THC, CBD, and CBG each tend to influence distinct sets of these biological markers. This suggests that different cannabinoids might exert unique effects on the body's systems.Intriguingly, research has also indicated that some children with autism present with lower levels of certain circulating endocannabinoids – specifically AEA, OEA, and PEA. These are our body's own cannabis-like molecules, playing crucial roles in regulating various functions.A compelling 2019 Israeli study looked at children with autism who didn't initially respond to a THC:CBD ratio of 1:20. Interestingly, a significant number of these children showed better outcomes when their treatment was switched to a THC:CBD ratio of 1:6. This underscores the importance of finding the right balance and individualizing treatment.Grandpa Bill: So, as we digest these fascinating insights, two probing questions come to mind:Given the variability of ASD and the distinct impacts of different cannabinoids, how can we best personalize cannabinoid-based approaches to optimize individual outcomes?With limited FDA-approved medications for core autism symptoms, what further research is needed to rigorously evaluate the safety and efficacy of various cannabinoid ratios and combinations? #AutismSupport #Cannabinoids #HolisticHealing ,#Endo cannabinoid System,It's crucial to acknowledge that only two medications have received FDA approval to address the core symptoms of autism, underscoring the need for continued exploration of complementary approaches.Preclinical research also offers valuable insights. A rodent model of ASD showed that inhibiting the FAAH enzyme, which breaks down endocannabinoids, led to improvements in repetitive and compulsive behaviors. CBD is considered the most likely cannabinoid to replicate this mechanism.However, caution is warranted. High-dose CBD treatments have been associated with adverse effects, particularly in individuals with low appetite, low body weight, or increased sedation. Personalized dosing and careful monitoring are paramount.The "core symptoms" of autism often involve challenges in social communication and interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors. Interestingly, a specific study indicated that CBD-dominant treatment led to improvements in pica, the dangerous compulsion to consume non-food items.The research landscape surrounding cannabinoids and ASD is evolving rapidly. Key questions remain:How can we leverage the unique properties of different cannabinoids to create highly personalized interventions for individuals across the autism spectrum?What rigorous, large-scale clinical trials are necessary to definitively establish the safety and efficacy of various cannabinoid formulations for ASD?The journey of understanding and supporting individuals with ASD is complex and multifaceted. The potential of cannabinoids offers a promising avenue for exploration, but it must be approached with careful research, individualized strategies, and ongoing collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and the autism community, which over stating the OBVIOUS it is here!#AutismSpectrumDisorder #ASD #Cannabinoids #CBD ,#THC, #CBG, #EndocannabinoidSystem, #HolisticHealth, #Dr.DustinSulak ,#Research, #Neurodiversity, #BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour ,#GrandpaBillsWisdom,

Janeen Herskovitz has worn two hats over two decades, as a mother of an adult son and a daughter who are neurodivergent, and as a therapist and former special educator who supports families, parents and neurodivergent individuals. Initially, she took the path of attempting to cure her son and questioned if vaccinations caused her son's autism, but then evolved into following a different path in understanding of her children's conditions. She now uses her experiences and her training as a therapist to support others. Barry, Dave and Janeen discuss her journey.FIND OUT 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.
