In today's story we explore what it's like to be on the autistic spectrum, and more specifically, how a later life diagnosis can totally change the way you view the world and yourself. Aurelie, our storyteller today,  was an autism expert, a clinical psychologist who had trained with some of the premier autism experts in the country…yet she didn't discover her own autism until she was 40 years old. This episode explores why women on the spectrum are so often missed, how women on the autistic spectrum are so often masters of masking, which means imitating the mannerisms and behaviors of neurotypical people, thus allowing them to both fit in and also to be left hiding in plain sight. Support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/396871/supportDr. Aurelie Welterlinhttps://www.ncawag.net/our-team/dr-aurelie-welterlin"I Love You, I Hate You, Are You My Mom?"  An intensive experiential workshop exploring transference with Dr. H and Dr. Hillary McBride, Feb 4th-6th 2026 in Joshua Tree, CA https://www.craigheacockmd.com/i-love-you-i-hate-you-are-you-my-mom/BFTA episode recommendations/Podcast pagehttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/Support the show

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.comToday, we'll be discussing Episode 12 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Eun-bin as Woo Young Woo, Kang Tae-oh as Lee Jun-ho, Ha Yoon-kyung as Choi Soo-yeon, Ju Hyun-young as Dong Geurami, Kang Ki-young as Jung Myung-seok, and Joo Jong-hyuk as Kwon Min-woo. We discuss:The songs featured during the recap: “One Two Three Young Woo” by Jo Byeong Hyeon and “H” by Roh Young Sim. The first is quirky, while the second is melancholy.The political and ethical complexity of Hanbada's involvement in drafting a policy that led to mass layoffs of married women.The fierce and principled attorney Ryu Jae Sook, who champions women's and labor rights, and who offers a thought-provoking contrast to Hanbada's corporate approach.The idea of generation names in Korean clans, and how these were used to explore the relationship between Judge Ryu Myeong Ha and Attorney Ryu Jae Sook.Attorney Jung's jarring statement that attorneys are not meant to make the world a better place, but to defend their clients, no matter who they are.Woo Young Woo's internal conflict as she receives a job offer from Attorney Ryu and wrestles with what kind of attorney she wants to be.The damaging but clever tactics of Kwon Min-woo, who secretly mails a legal memo to the opposing counsel in an attempt to frame Woo Young Woo.The brutal emotional toll of litigation, as personal and irrelevant information (such as fertility treatment) is dragged into court to discredit the plaintiffs.The bittersweet conclusion to the case: the women lose in court but win in the court of public opinion and in moral conviction.The evolving relationship between Woo Young Woo and Lee Jun-ho as they try to navigate differing perceptions of what it means to be a couple.The quiet decline of Attorney Jung, whose stress and physical deterioration hint at serious underlying health issues.A linguistic and cultural deep dive into the Korean pronunciation of family names such as Choi, Park, and Yun, and the surprising differences when romanized.ReferencesGeneration name - WikipediaPro bono practices and opportunities in South KoreaGlass ceiling - Wikipedia

Send us a textWe've got a fantastic guest with us today. Her name is Hannah Salazar, and she is both a therapist AND a professional school counselor. She also tutors new therapists as they work to pass their NCMHCE licensure exam. So, if you need one-on-one tutoring, send Hannah an email at: Info@TheGoodNeuron.com... and I'm sure she'll get you up to speed for your exam.Ever met a client whose childhood “quirks” suddenly became roadblocks at work, at home, or in relationships? We dig into the real-world nuances of neurodevelopmental disorders with therapist and school counselor Hannah Salazar. We unpack autism spectrum disorder through a brain-based lens—frontal networks, amygdala, cerebellum, and connectivity—so the social reciprocity gaps, nonverbal communication challenges, restricted interests, and stimming behaviors make sense instead of feeling mysterious or oppositional.From there, we map the edges: what actually separates ASD from ADHD, social anxiety, language disorder, and intellectual developmental disorder, and how to avoid false positives when culture shapes eye contact, tone, and social rules. You'll hear practical cues to look for when adult responsibilities outstrip old coping strategies, plus how to document onset, identify pervasiveness, and test hypotheses with empathy. We also touch on overlap with OCD and schizotypal personality disorder, highlighting distinctive patterns of sensory processing, developmental course, and social cognition that sharpen your diagnostic lens.If you're studying for the NCMHCE or refining your intake flow, this conversation offers concrete takeaways: translate criteria into behaviors, run a quick differential drill, and connect findings to supports—from visual structure and social scripts to academic testing and executive function scaffolds. Press play to sharpen judgment, reduce bias, and bring more clarity to clients who've waited years for a name that fits. If this helped your practice or your study plan, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more therapists can find it.If you need to study for your national licensing exam, try the free samplers at: LicensureExamsThis podcast is not associated with the NBCC, AMFTRB, ASW, ANCC, NASP, NAADAC, CCMC, NCPG, CRCC, or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.

In this heartfelt episode, Jeremy Rochford reflects on his evolution as both an autistic adult and a parent. He shares candidly about past struggles with anger and communication, and how learning to shift from control to connection transformed his relationship with his son, Jonathan. Together, father and son bring humor, honesty, and perspective—closing with a lighthearted segment about their first comedy gig as a duo. It's an authentic look at growth, forgiveness, and the joy that comes from embracing both the serious and the silly sides of parenting.ourneurofam.comwww.springbrookbehavioral.comwww.convergeautism.comwww.allabilitiesnofilter.com

As a parent, Daria Brown had some difficult decisions to make about choosing the right path for her young autistic child and her family. She chose a developmental relationship- based approach as it resonated with her as the best fit for her child. That choice led to a professional career in supporting parents, and also to her own late diagnosis as an autistic person. Barry and Dave discussed this choice with Daria, and how her journey has evolved.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.

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.comToday, we'll be discussing Episode 11 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Eun-bin as Woo Young Woo, Kang Tae-oh as Lee Jun-ho, Ha Yoon-kyung as Choi Soo-yeon, Joo Hyun-young as Dong Geu-ra-mi, Kang Ki-young as Jung Myung-seok, and Joo Jong-hyuk as Kwon Min-woo. We discuss:The songs featured during the recap: Overture and Junho Being Brave (Let me be your hug chair) by Roh Young SimThe legal case about three gambling friends and a disputed lottery ticket—and the moral, ethical, and legal dilemmas it raises.Attorney Jung's surprising soft side, as he takes on a questionable case swayed by a couple's sob story and a broken heel.Article 103 of Korean civil law that states that contracts that violate social order are null and void.The twist when the plaintiff, Shin Il-su, asks about keeping lottery winnings in a divorce and how Korean law defines marital vs. non-marital property.Woo Young Woo's internal conflict about helping a client who may have lied and cheated, echoing the ATM case and her evolving stance on ethics.The white truck of doom strikes again, killing Shin Il-su and transferring his lottery winnings (and insurance payout) to his unsuspecting wife.A key moment in Woo Young Woo and Lee Jun-ho's relationship: a traumatic accident, sensory overload, and Jun-ho calming her with a deep pressure back hug.A major turning point in their romance: the sweet kiss in front of her house, witnessed (shockingly!) by her dad, Woo Gwang-ho.Choi Soo-yeon's brush with a scammer who targets professional women. Thankfully, she's warned off just in time by another victim.Kwon Min-woo's shocking betrayal: he tells Tae Su-mi her secret is out and offers to get Woo Young Woo fired in exchange for a job at Taesan.A cameo appearance by Kang Myung Joo as the judge—she also played Ban Ji Eum's mom in See You in My 19th Life.The amazing comedic timing of Joo Hyun-young, who plays Dong Geu-ra-mi, and her background in Saturday Night Live Korea and other variety shows.ReferencesKAHI multi-balmProcedure of Arrest in Korea: Do I Hear a Miranda Warning?Miranda warning - Wikipedia.Deep Pressure for Autism: What Are the Benefits?OTO, The Hugging Chair

Send Me a Message! One missed appointment, that's all it took. And suddenly I was facing weeks without my ADHD medications.This time I'd done everything right, so for once this isn't on me! I had scripts sorted, appointments booked, all lined up, ready to go. Then my doctor went on unexpected leave, leaving me completely stimulant-free and flailing. The fallout was brutal: executive function collapsed, my car and room turned into chaos, appointments slipped, and even the podcast stopped for a bit there (sorry everyone).ADHD meds aren't just about focus, because stopping them suddenly makes symptoms rebound even harder. It also shows how fragile access is under the current system, with rigid rules and long waits. Thankfully, changes are coming in NSW where GPs will soon be able to prescribe directly, making life easier for so many of us.Now that I'm back on track, the podcast is rolling again with new Q&As and intake interviews. If you've faced your own medication access struggles, I'd love to hear your story.At the end of this episode I also pass judgement over the developments around certain pain medications and the development of autism spectrum disorder. My conclusions perhaps differ slightly from those presented by the US government at this time.....Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

On Monday, President Donald Trump, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and other Trump administration officials announced a pair of actions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will take to address the increase in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. First, the FDA will update the warning labels for acetaminophen — the active ingredient in pain relievers like Tylenol — to note a potential association between the ingredient and neurological conditions — such as ASD and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — in children (though it also emphasized that no causal link has been established). Second, the agency has initiated the approval of leucovorin calcium tablets for patients with cerebral folate deficiency (CFD).

After losing her uncle to brain cancer, Arpna spiralled. Grief told her, “Life's too short… eat what you want, drink what you like.” But the deeper truth hit harder: Life's too short to waste it feeling tired, sluggish, and disconnected from your best self. She didn't just want to feel better. She needed to be strong, emotionally, mentally, physically, to face what was coming next: Her son's ASD diagnosis, the stress of family life, and the growing weight of trying to hold it all together. So she stopped waiting. She committed fully. And she used the physical as the vehicle to reclaim control of her life. Losing 52.9lbs was never the full story. The real transformation came from how Arpna started to show up in her everyday life. She became sharper mentally. More focused at work. More present with her children. More intentional with her time. Arpna is now smashing it in her second year of the RNT journey, and is a great example of what's possible when you go all in!   Chapters: 00:00 The Catalyst for Change 02:06 The Journey Begins 14:03 Overcoming Initial Challenges 21:07 Transformative Experiences 28:22 Building a Sustainable Lifestyle 36:26 Reflections and Future Goals   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

Kohberger Exposed: Apartment Photos, “Hidey Hole” Theory & Thyroid Rx Reveal  This complete segment pulls together the newly released visuals and details surrounding Bryan Kohberger—from the stark images of his apartment to a prescription bottle that has ignited fresh debate. We start inside the living space: bare walls, stripped shelves, missing shower curtain, abundant cleaning supplies, and documented blood traces and handprints. With retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, Tony Brueski considers whether the minimalism was style—or a deliberate post-crime scrub-down akin to the reported disassembly and cleaning of Kohberger's vehicle. The conversation stays grounded in what the photos actually show while acknowledging the investigative inferences professionals weigh during a major true crime case. Academic files and graded essays appear routine to a criminology-trained eye, but the personal artifacts stand out—most notably the birthday cards dated just after the murders, including a card from Kohberger's mother that frames him as both the formal academic and the uncontrolled force. Those notes, combined with a self-congratulatory selfie and tight birthday timing, help sketch a portrait of self-image and ritualized thinking without veering into speculation. The segment then addresses the most debated non-paper item: bear spray. Coffindaffer lays out a theory many analysts have floated—the idea of a remote cache or “hidey hole” containing indicia of the crime (garments, knife, reminders), with bear spray serving as practical protection for return trips into wooded areas. The discussion references circuitous travel routes, a shovel with “dirt” comparisons, and why investigators map movements against potential stash sites. The final act is the levothyroxine (thyroxine) prescription seen in the apartment. No one suggests the drug causes violence; millions take it safely. The point is evidentiary: it's notable that a routine thyroid medication is present while other prescriptions one might expect—given public claims of ASD, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID—were not documented in this search. That absence raises procedural questions for both sides: who prescribed the thyroid med, for how long, was he adherent, did he travel with a second bottle, and what—if anything—was in his “go bag”? Coffindaffer explains why defense teams probe medication timelines, how adherence can affect energy and appetite, and why establishing what was (and wasn't) in his possession matters for narrative and strategy. Presented in a serious, cinematic true crime news style, this is a comprehensive, fact-forward recap designed to keep you fully informed without sensationalism.

Alzheimer's and dementia are some of the scariest realities for adults to consider. No one wants to feel like they're going to lose their mind!But in this day and age, it feels like cognitive decline is inevitable for many of us, “just a normal part of aging.”Similarly, our culture has come to accept that many kids are neurodivergent, that their brains are wired differently. We diagnose it as ADHD or ASD, or we see that 1/3 of our teens have clinical anxiety and we think, “It's just the way the world is. We'll help them navigate.”My guest today, Dr. Kristine Bosnar, wants us all to push back against acceptance. In fact, she says that the neuro-inflammation at the root of Alzheimer's and dementia is the SAME as what we see in kids with ADHD and other mental health struggles!

In ASD, a high prevalence of FRAA (up to 75%) has been documented, leading to impaired cerebral folate transport and subsequent deficiency despite normal serum folate levels.[1][2] Leucovorin utilizes the reduced folate carrier to restore central nervous system folate levels, thereby addressing a key pathophysiological mechanism in a subset of children with ASD.[1][2]Treatment of Folate Metabolism Abnormalities in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the first transcatheter ASD closure in a human. To celebrate this achievement, this week we air a live interview from PICS 2025 in Chicago (conducted 8/26/25) with living interventional cardiology legend Dr. Terry King speaking about the events surrounding his landmark intervention as the first person to ever perform a transcatheter ASD closure with his partner, surgeon Dr. Noel Mills. In this one on one interview, Dr. King discusses how he came up with this idea with Dr. Mills and how he found a patient in which to proceed. He reviews what 'informed consent' was in 1975 and also how he and Dr. Mills accurately estimated ASD size in an era that preceded 2D echocardiography.

Send us a textThe potential link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and autism, with a surprise phone call from RFK partway through.Episode Summary: Dr. William Parker talks about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), its rising prevalence since the 1980s, and the controversial hypothesis that acetaminophen exposure in susceptible infants and children triggers most cases via oxidative stress. They discuss ASD's clinical definition; historical misconceptions like the "refrigerator mother" theory; genetic susceptibilities; acetaminophen's metabolism, which produces toxic byproducts in underdeveloped livers, leading to brain effects.About the guest: William Parker, PhD spent nearly 30 years as a professor at Duke University researching underlying causes of chronic conditions, including discovering the immune function of the human appendix and pioneering studies on immune systems in wild animals.Discussion Points:Autism is a spectrum disorder with core symptoms like social deficits, repetitive behaviors, and aversion to new stimuli.Parker argues overwhelming evidence points to acetaminophen as the primary trigger in susceptible individuals, causing oxidative stress via toxic metabolite NAPQI.Acetaminophen, marketed as Tylenol or paracetamol, was not tested for neurodevelopmental effects in neonatal animals until 2014, despite widespread use since 1886; it's metabolized differently in babies, whose livers lack mature detox pathways.Susceptibility factors include low glutathione (an antioxidant), poor sulfation/glucuronidation metabolism, folate receptor autoantibodies, and events like immune reactions that prompt acetaminophen use during oxidative stress.Regressive autism, where children lose milestones after seeming normal, often follows acetaminophen given for fevers or illnesses, explaining parental vaccine suspicions (as shots coincide with drug use).Adult acetaminophen is generally safe but causes liver toxicity in overdoses or with alcohol; antidote is NAC to boost glutathione.Parker has suggested to policymakers that we should avoid acetaminophen during pregnancy, birth, and early childhood (under age 3-5); parents should plan ahead for fevers/pain without it, but seek medical help for unusual symptoms.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.
