FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1304 ‘I'm In Here': When the Body Failed—but the Mind Didn't: A Story of Autism, Faith, and Telepathy What happens when the body fails—but consciousness remains fully intact? Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we examine a story modern science is deeply uncomfortable confronting. Katie Asher's journey begins in trauma and survival, then leads to her son Houston—severely neurologically injured, non-speaking, yet unmistakably present. When he communicates the sentence “I'm in here,” it isn't a revelation of awakening—but of recognition. Through supported spelling, Houston demonstrates advanced language, abstract reasoning, and a coherent spiritual worldview he was never taught—describing heaven, angels, and Christ—while his mother remains skeptical. Researchers documented the data. Filmmakers told part of the story. But the spiritual framework was left out. Tonight, we explore what happens when consciousness refuses to fit inside a materialist box. GUEST: Katie Asher is a writer, speaker, and advocate for non-speaking individuals whose cognitive and inner lives are routinely misunderstood. She is the co-author of The Book of Heaven, written with her son Houston, a work that challenges assumptions about intelligence, communication, and the nature of consciousness itself. Known for her intellectual honesty and initial skepticism, Katie brings a grounded, maternal, and rigorously self-critical perspective to questions of neuroscience, spirituality, and faith. Her family's story has drawn the attention of researchers and documentary filmmakers precisely because it resists easy categorization—and refuses to diminish the dignity of those who communicate differently.

Welcome to Episode 289 of Autism Parenting Secrets.In this conversation, Len sits down with Dr. Anju Usman Singh, Medical Director of True Health Medical Center and a leading faculty member of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS).Dr. Singh shares why autism, ADHD, and related challenges are best understood as neuroimmune inflammatory conditions — and how toxins, allergens, and persistent infections keep the immune system stuck in overdrive.She explains why low-level lead exposure is far more common than most parents realize, why there is no safe level of lead, and how even subtle toxic burden can impair attention, behavior, cognition, and emotional regulation.This episode brings clarity to how environmental toxins drive inflammation, how inflammation creates neurological “excitation,” and why addressing toxic load is often the missing step that unlocks progress.The secret this week is…Toxic Load BLOCKS the BreakthroughYou'll Discover:How Chronic Immune Activation Creates Excitation in the Brain and Behavior (8:36)Why Low-Level Lead Exposure Is Far More Common Than Most Parents Realize (9:51)Why Standard Lab Testing Misses Hidden Metal Burdens (12:55)The Most Surprising Everyday Sources Of Lead and Other Toxins (17:27)What Signs Suggest Your Child May Be Carrying A Toxic Burden (25:36)About Our Guest:Dr. Anju Usman Singh is a globally respected physician with nearly three decades of experience caring for children with autism, PANS/PANDAS, developmental delays, allergies, and complex neuroimmune conditions. She is widely recognized for her deep clinical expertise in environmental toxicity, chronic infections, immune dysregulation, detoxification, and the biomedical factors that drive inflammation in the brain and body.  As a leading faculty member of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), Dr. Usman Singh trains and mentors clinicians from around the world, helping advance more thoughtful, root-cause–oriented care for this generation of children.

How do you teach stranger danger to autistic kids — without creating fear?In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom Podcast, Shannon Urquiola dives into a topic so many parents worry about but rarely feel confident navigating. Inspired by a question from a follower, Valencia Shannon, this episode explores what “stranger danger” really looks like for autistic children and why traditional advice often falls short.Shannon walks you through: Why autistic kids experience safety, fear, and impulse control differentlyHow to teach safe vs. unsafe situations instead of relying on fear-based messagingReal life scenarios you can practice with your child in public, at school and onlineThe very real dangers of online gaming, social platforms and sextortionWhy supervision and monitoring are not about control — they're about protectionShannon also shares personal stories about her son Jordan, including why, at 29, safety planning and supervision are still necessary due to impulse control and lack of fear — and how meeting your child where they are is not failure, it's love.

In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul welcomes holistic pediatrician Dr. Carissa Stanton, author of Motherhood Makeover. Together they explore her journey from conventional pediatrics into holistic, root-cause care, her transition out of the insurance system, and her passion for empowering mothers. Dr. Stanton shares practical insights for stressed parents, explains why modern medicine fails families with chronic conditions, and emphasizes intuition, resilience, and creating a supportive home environment. The conversation also highlights societal pressures undermining parents, the importance of reducing fear, and reclaiming authentic motherhood.

In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Dr. Sam Shay—also known as The Neurodiverse Doc. Sam is autistic, ADHD, and deeply committed to helping neurodiverse adults understand how their brains actually work in a world that wasn't designed for them.We dive into a powerful (and sometimes triggering) conversation around autism, ADHD, bullying, and the often-confused overlap between autism and narcissism. We talk about intention versus impact, pattern recognition, coercion, control, masking, and what happens when you finally reframe your entire life through the lens of neurodiversity. If you've ever wondered, “Is this narcissism… or is this autism?”—this episode will give you language, clarity, and validation. Dr. Sam Shay, DC, IFMCP, is a functional medicine expert, keynote speaker, and self-described NeuroSpicy comic who helps neurodiverse adults navigate life in a neurotypical world. Diagnosed AuDHD himself, Dr. Sam has dedicated his career to advocacy, education, and support for individuals on the autism and ADHD spectrum.With over 25 years of experience in nutrition, genetics, and functional lab testing, he created the Neuro-Harmony Model and DNA-Decoded programs—data-driven approaches designed to boost energy, improve mental clarity, and help families create environments where neurodiverse individuals can thrive. Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Sam uses clean, witty, story-driven comedy to bring awareness to neurodiversity. His one-hour special, NeuroSpicy: Love, Life, & Comedy on the Spectrum, blends humor with powerful insight and is a must-watch for anyone seeking understanding through laughter. Episode Highlights:[0:00] – Understanding the difference between narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths through their core drives [1:03] – Welcoming Dr. Sam Shay and why this conversation matters for neurodiverse adults [3:52] – Sensory overstimulation, bonding over shared neurodiverse experiences, and Vegas misconceptions [6:24] – Autism vs. narcissism: similar behaviors, radically different intentions [8:27] – Discovering autism later in life and “backfilling” 38 years of memories [14:57] – Grief, identity shifts, and recalibrating your nervous system after diagnosis [18:23] – Bullying, coercion, and why neurodiverse kids are often targeted [21:09] – Masking vs. adapting: where survival ends and authenticity begins [26:27] – Pattern recognition as protection and reclaiming personal agency [35:41] – Finding your tribe and why one safe person can change everything [37:29] – Sam's closing wisdom on truth-seeking without losing human connectionLinks & Resources·         Website: www.DrSamShay.com·         DNA-Decoded program: www.DrSamShay.com/DNA-Decoded·         Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsamshay ·         Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sam.shay.792 ·         Youtube: www.Youtube.com/tenpointwellness ·         Article on Narci

A Level 3 autism diagnosis means a child currently needs very substantial support, not that their future is fixed or limited. Dr Mary Barbera explains what Level 3 autism is, how it differs from Levels 1 and 2, common traits and evidence‑based treatment options. Autism levels describe present support needs, not intelligence or long‑term outcomes and levels can change over time. With early intervention, effective therapies, and strong parent involvement, many children make meaningful progress. The goal is clarity, realistic expectations, and hope grounded in action rather than fear.

I'm bringing back one of my mini episodes that continues to spark great conversations around verbal imitation. This reprise dives into how we think about echoics and verbal imitation in a way that is thoughtful, ethical, and grounded in collaboration. I share why this can be such a tricky area, especially when speech-language pathologists and BCBAs are working together, and why context always matters more than a checklist.In this episode, I walk through how I approach verbal imitation on a team, why assessment and collaboration are essential, and how we can support learners without turning them off to verbal communication. This is a practical listen that encourages all of us to slow down, zoom out, and make sure our targets are truly functional for the child in front of us.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why verbal imitation and echoics require careful, collaborative decision-makingThe role of assessments and context when choosing verbal targetsHow SLP and BCBA collaboration supports ethical and effective programmingA high-level look at maintaining and generalizing verbal imitation skillsMentioned In This Episode:Verbal Imitation Guide (Hack #19) Join our ethics course Join the aba speech connection  ABA Speech: Home

Autism content is not the same thing as autism science. In this episode, Dr. Theresa Lyons joins me to talk about what it really means to follow the science of autism, and why parents cannot rely on headlines, algorithms, or outdated assumptions when the stakes are this high. Theresa is a Yale trained scientist and autism parent, and she breaks down how peer reviewed research actually moves, how easily it gets distorted, and why it can take 20 to 30 years for scientific conclusions to become common medical practice. We talk about how misinformation spreads online, including research showing that 70% of the most viewed autism videos on TikTok were classified as wrong or over generalized. Theresa explains why credibility does not come from views, and why parents need to get closer to the source, or choose trusted interpreters who do. We also dig into the bigger picture that often gets missed when families are only offered behavioral therapies. Theresa shares how she thinks about risk, genetics, environment, and total load on the body, and why broad buckets like sleep, diet, hydration, and gut health matter when you are trying to support a child. This is a powerful reminder to trust your intuition, be willing to do the work, and stay curious. The goal is not to chase every rabbit hole. The goal is to build clarity, prioritize what matters, and change the trajectory one step at a time. Key Takeaways "Follow the science" should mean peer reviewed publications, not headlines. Theresa explains why going to sources like PubMed, or using trusted interpreters of that research, matters when mainstream summaries can be rushed, incomplete, or wrong. It can take 20 to 30 years for research to reach common practice. That lag matters when your child is five now, not thirty five later, and it is why parents often need to be proactive rather than waiting for systems to catch up. Mainstream media can sound credible while still being misinformation. Theresa shares how even well meaning articles can be based on shallow research done under deadline pressure, which can derail a family's decisions if they are not careful. Online engagement is not the same thing as accuracy. Research discussed in this episode found that 70% of top autism videos on TikTok were classified as wrong or over generalized, which is a wake up call about where many families are getting "education." Parents have to balance curiosity with discernment. The goal is not to chase everything. The goal is to build enough scientific literacy to ask better questions, recognize weak claims, and avoid fruitless rabbit holes. Autism is diagnosed through observation, which can hide the "why" underneath. Theresa explains how biology, chemistry, and health factors can be missed until developmental delays become obvious, and then families are left sorting out root contributors after the fact. Broad health buckets deserve attention alongside therapies. Sleep, hydration, digestion, and diet can meaningfully affect regulation and behavior, and Theresa points out that these basics are often dismissed as "just autism" when they deserve real investigation. Diet interventions require clarity about goals and consistency. Theresa discusses why families need to identify symptoms first, understand mechanisms like gut permeability and immune load, and avoid comparing "partial" changes to results from structured clinical trials. Risk is complex because genetics and environment interact. Theresa describes why research often speaks in terms of increased risk rather than simple causation, and why what is relevant depends on the individual child's context. Trust your intuition and commit to the long game. Theresa's closing message is that change is like turning a boat. It takes effort and time, but a parent's willingness to learn and keep going can meaningfully change a child's trajectory. .About Theresa Lyons Dr. Theresa Lyons is an international autism educator, Ivy League scientist, and autism parent. She holds a PhD in computational chemistry from Yale University and previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry in research and development and as a medical strategist. After her daughter was diagnosed with autism, she applied her scientific training to understanding autism research and now teaches parents how to navigate the science with clarity and confidence. She is the founder of Navigating AWEtism, a platform designed to turn autism complexity into clarity by organizing scientific information and making it accessible and actionable for families. Through her work, she has supported parents in 21 plus countries and reaches a growing global audience through years of science backed education on YouTube and social media.

“God is speaking through those the world ignores.” – Joe InfrancoIn this breathtaking episode of Live Your Best Life, Liz Wright welcomes Joe Infranco to unveil a supernatural movement unfolding through non-speaking autistic individuals known as “spellers.” Once presumed voiceless, these remarkable individuals now communicate through spelling boards, revealing vivid encounters with Jesus, angels, and the unseen realm.Joe shares how a quiet miracle in his church grew into a national awakening where spellers consistently describe the same spiritual realities, including a sacred meeting place in heaven called “the hill,” where they worship, intercede, and are personally taught by Jesus. Their words carry prophetic weight, supernatural discernment, and transformational love that is shifting families, churches, and hearts wherever they speak.Together, Liz and Joe explore how God is breaking through perceived human limitations and using these often-overlooked lives to minister with deep spiritual clarity. This isn't just a testimony, it's a call to recognize divine purpose in every life, especially the ones society misunderstands.You'll walk away with renewed compassion, awe, and a fresh lens for how God speaks through the “least of these.” Prepare to be undone, challenged, and awakened to the voices that have been hidden for such a time as this.Featured Guest: Joe Infranco Key Words: Autism, spelling, discernment, encounters, spiritual gifts. Related MaterialsIf your heart longs to understand how God moves through the ones the world overlooks, Decoding Cody is a must-read. Pastor Joe Infranco invites readers into a remarkable journey with a nonverbal young man with autism who began describing vivid encounters with angels, demons, and the presence of Jesus.

 It's 2026, and Dan and Stephanie start our podcast series this year on Atomic Habits. The month of January is all about NEW! Remember, Patreon is new! Part 2 of the discussion is on Patreon.In Atomic Habits, James Clear reminds us that real change doesn't come from dramatic overhauls but from small, consistent actions that add up over time. For neurodiverse marriages, this principle is especially powerful. Many couples feel stuck because change seems overwhelming or unpredictable. But Clear's 1% rule—tiny improvements repeated daily—offers a realistic, hopeful path forward for both partners.Clear also emphasizes identity formation, teaching that habits don't just shape what we do; they shape who we believe we are. “Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” This aligns beautifully with the work Dan and Stephanie bring in from Dr. Jim Wilder, who teaches that identity is formed through relational attachment, joy, and repeated experiences of being our best self with others. When neurodiverse couples practice small relational habits—brief check-ins, shared cues, predictable routines—they aren't only improving communication; they're also building trust. They are reinforcing a shared identity as a couple who grow, learns, and repair together.Starting small is essential for neurodiverse relationships. A five-minute conversation, one shared calendar habit, a single expression of appreciation, or one consistent environmental cue (like a reminder note or visual schedule) can be far more effective than trying to overhaul everything at once. Slow, steady repetition makes habits dependable, which builds trust and safety—core needs for both neurodiverse and neurotypical partners.The message is simple and deeply encouraging: meaningful change in a neurodiverse marriage doesn't require perfection or intensity. It requires small, steady steps and a shared commitment to becoming the couple God is forming you to be—one daily habit at a time.

She was told it was autism — but something didn't feel right. In this episode, a mother shares how trusting her instincts led her beyond the diagnosis and into powerful advocacy for her child.In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Michelle Choairy shares her journey as a mother navigating life with a child who has a rare genetic disorder called TBR1. Michelle opens up about the emotional toll of early diagnoses, the moment she realized it wasn't autism, and what it really takes to advocate for your child in a complex medical and educational system.Through honesty and lived experience, Michelle reminds parents why trusting your instincts matters — especially when the path you're on looks nothing like what you expected.This conversation is especially for parents raising children with special needs or complex diagnoses who are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted while trying to do the “right” thing for their child.

Daycare & Autism Centers Fraud Numerous daycare centers and autism facilities have received millions in state funding but have no children enrolled. Example: A daycare shut down for violations reopened under a new name and continued receiving funds. Home Healthcare Fraud A single building allegedly housed 14 Somali-owned healthcare companies, all billing the state for services that were never provided. FBI raids and investigations are mentioned as evidence of the scale of fraud. Political Corruption Minnesota politicians, including Governor Tim Walz and other Minneapolis officials, have enabled fraud for political gain. Funds were used to buy votes and maintain power, particularly by appealing to immigrant communities. Financial Impact Minnesota swung from an $18 billion surplus to a $6 billion deficit in two years, attributing much of this to fraud. Estimates fraud in Minnesota alone exceeds $9 billion, with nationwide entitlement fraud possibly Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Arianne: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I want to say thank you for all of your resources! I start every day with your podcast - it is truly the best out there! My question is regarding the medication, Leucovorin, and its use in treating Autism. I have a 3 year old son who is non-verbal and is moderately Autistic. His pediatrician has prescribed Leucovorin on a titration schedule where he will be monitored for its effects. To note my own lab results, I have MTHFR, high levels of mercury and aluminum, low electrolytes/minerals, anemia/low ferritin, and gut issues - likely these were passed along to my son. I plan to have him complete the labs now that he is old enough. What is your advice on Leucovorin and its safety & efficacy, also should I be concerned with potential fillers and aluminum in the drug?       Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I was just wondering if all bovine collagen has protein in it, even if it doesn't say it on the label? And if so, does the protein count towards my daily protein intake? Thank you so much in advance for answering!                                                                                                                                                                      Jonny: Hello Dr. Cabral, Recently done some mitochondrial testing and found that my complex 2+3 are operating at 16% activity, and complex 2 at 58%, so there unable to turn substrate into energy efficiently. I'm wondering if you have any advice. Currently dealing with CIRS, Sibo/dysbiosis/chronic stress/Trauma. Non starchy carbs make me jittery, as well as stressors in general, but it's not blood sugar, as I've worn monitors and my levels seem fairly ideal. I think it's the CIRS jitters, shakiness that I've heard you speak of. I just got your new book, so I'm going to read through that for any tips. Already taking adrenal soothe, working with a therapist, doing my best to lower the stressors in my life. I know 90-120 days for red blood cell/mitochondrial turnover, so things can take time. Thanks                            Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've heard conflicting advice on cold plunging for people with high stress or adrenal dysregulation. How to you determine if cold exposure if supportive or not. Thanks!                                                                           Sarah: I'm curious about histamine intolerance and allergies. why do some people suddenly develop reactions to something that haven't had all their lives. I used to not be allergic to horses for instance, I could ride them when I was younger, but now I can't even be in the same room with someone who has been around them.

The neuropsych assessment process can be daunting and complicated to navigate, especially in recent years as a result of COVID,  so I'm excited to share my conversation with pediatric and adolescent young adult neuropsychologist, Dr. Jonine Nazar-Biesman. Jonine's work is about taking into consideration the whole child and the big picture when assessments are being done.  In this episode, we talk about what parents should think about when vetting psychologists to assess their child, the difference between a neuropsych, a psychoeducational, and a psychological assessment, and how parents can navigate getting a better assessment if they believe their child got the wrong diagnosis. We also talked about what to do with all the feedback parents get from an evaluation and how that feedback can best be relayed to our kids, and to their schools.Dr. Jonine Nazar-Biesman has over 25 years of experience specializing in assessing and treating children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism, ADHD, learning differences, and genetic conditions. She works closely with families, treatment teams, schools, and the community to ameliorate social-emotional, behavioral, and educational challenges.   Things you'll learn from this episode: What parents should think about when looking for someone to do an assessment for their child, as well as tips for vetting evaluators The difference between a neuropsych, a psychoeducational, and a psychological assessment How Jonine works with students and adjusts the evaluation process during the assessment in response to what she's discovering How parents can navigate getting a better assessment if they believe their child got the wrong diagnosis Whether or not a neuropsych evaluation would benefit every neurodivergent child How feedback is ideally shared with parents, kids, and schools after an assessment has been completed How the COVID pandemic has impacted the assessment process How parents can best use the detailed feedback they receive as part of the neuropsych evaluation process Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Katja Mehlhorn — psychologist, academic, and founder of Horse Kids Groningen in the Netherlands. Katja bridges two worlds that rarely meet: university‑level research and deeply embodied, nature‑based equine‑assisted practice.From her early work in PATH programs in the United States to building a highly individualized, child‑led practice on a Dutch farm, Katja shares how curiosity, movement, imagination, and horse welfare shape everything she does. Together, Rupert and Katja explore how neuroplasticity, safety, and play support learning in children who struggle with anxiety, school refusal, autism, and social‑emotional challenges.This conversation ranges widely — from teaching maths through Formula One role‑play on horseback, to helping traumatized clients rebuild self‑worth by caring for horses, to using landscapes, wildlife, foraging, and even horse poo as gateways to regulation and learning. Along the way, Katja reflects on leaving a secure university career to grow her farm‑based work, and on what the equine‑assisted field must do to stay ethical, relevant, and humane.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Emily Kircher-Morris chats today with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's so challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. TAKEAWAYS Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Waiting until the last minute can be a legitimate strategy for motivation. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Novelty keeps the brain engaged and interested. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. If you'd like members of your organization, school district, or company to know more about the subjects discussed on our podcast, Emily Kircher-Morris provides keynote addresses, workshops, and training sessions worldwide, in-person or virtually. You can choose from a list of established presentations, or work with Emily to develop a custom talk to fit your unique situation. To learn more, visit our website. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.

Send us a textPrompted by a flood of tips from readers about facilities that tipsters say do not appear to be providing services, Alpha News reporters Liz Collin and Jenna Gloeb visited more than a dozen autism centers and adult day care businesses across the Twin Cities during posted business hours on Monday, Dec. 15.Vacant rooms and autism therapy centers with no children present were among the findings as the reporters examined concerns raised by tipsters about Medicaid-funded programs.No children were observed at any of the autism centers visited. Only a few workers and a small number of elderly women were seen at the adult day care facilities. Many of the locations seemed empty.At one location, a luxury sedan circled the Alpha News reporters in the parking lot. Shortly afterward, police were called to report the journalists.Support the show

Hate the gym/anxiety keeping you sidelined this NYE? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April hacks sustainable fitness for neurodivergent young adults with PJ Glassey, Exercise Science grad (1989), X Gym founder (1998), anti-aging/Alzheimer's expert (59 but looks 39), and Brain Type Test creator. PJ's 21-min workout (2x/week = 7 hrs traditional) tones/defines safely without bulking—invented from client experiments/research, now with Xercise App/online training since 2017. Key insights: Gym aversion fix: Quick/safe method (slow reps/holds for full fatigue—e.g., 7-10 sec pushups, 30-90 sec failure); focus/meditation trains PFC (reps like distractions in beginners). Motivation/discipline: 97% NY resolutions fail (unrealistic expectations); prolong via "why" questions (10-40 answers/post reminders); toward/away (e.g., avoid diabetic fate, become strong). Brain-body link: Exercise oxygenates/BDNF "Miracle-Gro" for cells/pathways; anti-aging/Alzheimer's 5 pillars (exercise/nutrition/hydration/sleep/brain training/relationships—hard ones best for PFC). ND application: Hyperfocus/procrastination? Method's focus counters (no TVs/mirrors/music); injury avoidance (controlled/form); burnout prevention (short sessions, patterns become identity). Brain Type Test: Rewires for success (custom habits/motivation); PJ's biohacking (tower running since 1987, Christian principles for business). For autistic/ADHD young adults ditching resolutions, PJ's vibe: "Change via brain rewiring—not muscling through." Free resources at xgym.com; braintype.me (test/book "Cracking Your Calorie Code").

Massive Fraud Allegations (WATCH NICK's VIDEO HERE!) Minnesota has spent $18 billion on Medicaid over several years, with up to $9 billion allegedly lost to fraud. Fraud reportedly involves fake daycare centers and autism centers receiving millions in state funds without providing services or having children present. Example: Facilities licensed for dozens of children but found empty, with windows blacked out and doors locked. Political Corruption Democratic politicians, including Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, ignored or enabled the fraud. Stolen funds were used to influence elections and fund campaigns. We bring up Ilhan Omar and have questions about her financial gains. Investigative Work by Nick Shirley A 23-year-old YouTuber, Nick Shirley, conducted undercover investigations, visiting daycare and autism centers, documenting the absence of children, and exposing suspicious operations. His video reportedly went viral, reaching over 90 million views. Media Criticism Strong criticism of mainstream (called “Corporate”) media for allegedly ignoring the story. Praise for independent investigative journalism. Security and Confrontations Confrontations with individuals at the centers, some becoming hostile. Police involvement when Shirley attempted to gather information at healthcare offices. Financial Scale Examples of payments: individual centers receiving $1–$3 million annually. Autism-related Medicaid payments allegedly skyrocketed from $1.3 million in 2017 to $228 million in 2024. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Leland Vittert, American journalist and anchor for NewsNation, joins Allie to discuss his book "Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism." Through the interview, Leland discusses his secret diagnoses with autism as a child while his parents rejected accommodations and taught him to conquer adversity head-on. From relentless bullying throughout school to Middle East war zones and network news, Leland credits his dad's “adapt to the world” philosophy for his success.

Our 2025 Year-End Episode is here! We're looking back on the wins, the hard moments, the lessons our kids taught us, and all the laugh-out-loud chaos that came with being autism moms this year. We answer questions like: • What did our kids teach us in 2025? • What were our biggest mom wins—and our toughest moments? • Which episodes surprised us the most? • What themes kept showing up in our community? • What do we want more (and less!) of in 2026? It's honest, messy, funny, emotional, and the perfect way to close out the year. Come wrap it up with us. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert about his career in journalism and lessons from reporting in the Middle East; how a defining encounter with a failed Palestinian suicide bomber reshaped his views on the Israel-Palestine conflict; his book "Born Lucky", detailing growing up with autism and how his father's radically different approach to his diagnosis helped him to adjust to the world and not be a victim; and much more.
