In today's episode, Autistic OT Kim Clairy talks about sensory differences, Autistic catatonia, and interdependence in a way that should be part of our life and graduate school curricula. She weaves in her clinical expertise with her personal story and her poetry, and even brings in a surprise guest at the end. Warning: the ending is so sweet it may leave you in tears.

In episode 155 of Imagine Otherwise, host Cathy Hannabach interviews disability media studies scholar Meryl Alper. Meryl is the author of 3 books about how kids with disabilities use digital technologies, including her most recent book, ​​Kids Across the Spectrums: Growing Up Autistic in the Digital Age. Kids Across the Spectrums is out now from MIT Press and it is the first book-length ethnography of the digital lives of diverse young people on the autism spectrum. In their conversation, Cathy and Meryl chat about how autistic and neurodivergent youth and their families resist popular assumptions about their media use while also using digital technologies like TikTok, Scratch, and YouTube to build community, explore identity, and learn new skills. Meryl also shares some behind-the-scenes context about how she navigated ethnographic research during the pandemic and found the spark for this current book in some of her earlier research. They delve into why moral panics over how autistic kids use media often index broader cultural anxieties over how technology is altering society and what it means for the actual youth caught in the middle of these debates. Cathy and Meryl close out the episode with how Meryl imagines otherwise to help build a more just future that centers the worldviews, needs, and desires of neurodivergent and disabled youth.

As we enter the beginning of the school year, I want to go over my 20 years of experience in the field to discuss service delivery models in a school based setting. Our goal is always to support students in the best way possible, and the best way to do this is through an individualized approach to service delivery. Depending on your learners needs, there are a variety of models you can consider. The need for these can depend on goals, age, needs, and the school environment. 1 on 1 in office1 on 1 in the classroom2 on 1 in the office or common spaceLarge group/ whole classroomSmall structured groupMonthly/Quarterly check insTeam Consults Parent ObservationBCBA ConsultsThe best way to make the biggest difference is to embed communication across the learners day and lifespan. From preschool to high school and beyond, service needs will vary greatly. The only thing that is constant is that EVERY student will need individualization. Begin the new school year by building rapport, writing amazing goals, and getting to know everyone on your learners team!#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Common service delivery models for autistic learners.How to decide the best service delivery model for your student.What combination of service delivery can you use?How to provide services across the lifespan?Mentioned In This Episode:Membership - ABA Speech

What exactly is Joint Attention? How does Joint Attention interact with Eye Contact? What does the literature say about these repertoires, and how does that coincide with self-reports of the aversive nature of eye contact from Autistic people?  These have been a few of the questions rolling around in my head for some time. A few years ago, we briefly touched on this subject with my guest today, Dr. Francesca Degli Espinosa, but it was in the backdrop of a larger panel discussion at the 2022 Verbal Behavior Conference.  Fast forward to 2023, I recently heard Francesca on Dr. Mary Barbera's show talk about Joint Attention in great detail, so I asked her to join me to extend the conversation.  In this show, we cover: What people mean when they use the term Joint Attention How JA typically develops in infancy and beyond Why 'attention' may not be an especially helpful term Some of the neuroscience and eye tracking studies that have examined the development of eye contact in typically developing and Autistic populations How to increase the value of looking at peoples' faces Why eye contact should be thought of as a reinforcing consequence  Some strategies to foster JA in the context of learner assent The difficulty of integrating the findings of different literatures that publish research in the area of Autism What she's talking about at this year's Stone Soup Conference (spoiler alert: She's going to go deep into this topic, and remember, save on your registration by using the promo code PODCAST) The problem associated with teaching eye contact via the 'look at me' method Here are some of the links to the many resources we discussed: 2022 Verbal Behavior Conference Panel Discussion  Francesca on Mary Barbera's podcast  Francesca's available online courses  Dube et al.

Richard Newman's path to communication prowess was far from conventional. At the tender age of four, he found himself grappling with the feeling of being misunderstood.   As he continued to navigate the labyrinth of human interactions, he gradually recognized that he experienced unique communication challenges.  He explored his introverted nature, and after discovering the power of body language, he even ventured to a Tibetan monastery in the Himalayas.  Little did he know that later in life, all of his experiences would culminate in a revelation that he was Autistic, shedding new light on his communication journey throughout his lifetime.  On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, as Founder and CEO at Body Talk, Richard talks to us about the transformative power of embracing authenticity, which he has seen both in his own life and through his professional work.   Join us as we talk about balancing authentic voices with societal expectations, how you can lose our authenticity without even realizing it, and what you can do to reconnect with your authentic self.  Leadership tips you won't want to miss:

Empowerment in Vulnerability: Becoming the Heroine of Your Story This episode includes wanting people to intuit what you want without having to ask; struggling with having to ask for what you want; not being chosen, and how to turn this around; identifying who your people are; assessing what others have to offer in relationships instead of assuming that you're the one with the deficits. We also talk about how to have compassion for where you're at, and the gifts of doing healing work. CO-HOST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC HIGHLIGHTS Reflect on the mantra Who do I choose and who chooses me? and use it to empower yourself in relationships and activities. Embrace the idea that it's okay if not everyone likes you or understands you fully, and focus on being true to yourself. Practice setting boundaries and making choices that align with your values, even if they don't fit your self-concept or may cause conflict. Reflect on the phrase I am enough and embrace the idea that you don't need external validation to feel worthy. The concept of "vibrational match" is introduced, emphasizing that not everyone will resonate with each other. Setting boundaries is essential, even if it doesn't align with one's self-concept or requires distance from loved ones. It's empowering to accept that not everyone will like or understand you, and that's okay. The importance of having self-compassion and acknowledging that being human means making mistakes. The value of exploring one's emotional triggers and understanding the reasons behind them. Different people have different ways of approaching tasks and ideas, which can lead to misunderstandings. The realization that some activities may be enjoyable, but the people involved may not be a perfect fit. Embracing the truth about oneself and being comfortable with the role one plays in others' narratives. The journey of finding and embracing one's authentic self while acknowledging imperfections. The power of learning to say "no" and assert boundaries without compromising one's self-worth. Understanding that conflicts and bumps in relationships are natural and part of personal growth. Recognizing the need for distance and safety in certain relationships to protect one's emotional well-being. PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is neurodivergent helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you CO-HOST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.

The experience of autism creates complex relationships for many in a shared community, that can result in misunderstandings and even anger directed to others. People in these relationships include autistic individuals, parents, family members, educators, therapists, and many significant others. That said, there is also great potential for loving, mutually supportive and trusting relationships, but that takes work. Elaine Hall wears many hats, as a neurodivergent parent-professional, author, speaker, and consultant in film and TV. Despite significant barriers for her and her son, she has navigated and has thrived on her journey with grace and deep gratitude that is a gift to so many. Dave and Barry join Elaine in a discussion of the experience of feeling gratitude, and the importance of sharing those feelings with others. Learn more and find resources on the episode's website

While you're watching this video, another autistic child is in a clinic to sign papers to get medically or surgically castrated. Possibly scarred and changed for life in an experimental, dangerous procedure. Regret-rate? Unknown. Parents are lied to and told that their child will commit suicide if they say no (there is no data to back that up.)It's borderline insane what's being done to parents and children in schools and gender clinics. No informed consent is the norm. Coercion, negligence, manipulation are common characteristics. Autistic teenagers are coming out as DE-transitioners on Youtube full of regret and anger towards parents and doctors who allowed this to happen before their brains were even fully developed. Meanwhile, some people are trying to turn psychologists, parents and nurses into criminals if they question a 14 year old boy who thinks she's a girl or vice versa. Some States want to take parents out of the mix. Sex change without parental consent here we come. We're Experts NowHi there Future Expert!

Expressing Feelings When Systems Fail and Frustrate Us I had a meltdown after reaching my frustration limit. Jen & I discuss how to discharge frustration, while navigating inefficient systems. What prevents us from speaking up, and our concern about how we are perceived. How to advocate for yourself, and get support from others, especially when you're dysregulated. How do you stay grounded and focused on getting your needs met when things are breaking down? We also discuss how much healing we've done in our friendship, and how setting boundaries builds trust. CO-HOST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC HIGHLIGHTS Allowing oneself and others to fully experience and express emotions without judgment or shame has benefits. Brene Brown's video on blaming offers insight into why people sometimes blame others instead of expressing emotions. Discharging emotions in a healthy way, such as through howling or other outlets, can release pent-up energy. Connection in relationships is prioritized over calmness, and supporting others' emotions is important. Advocating for personal needs and setting boundaries is crucial in medical settings. Seeking support from trusted friends or a support system when overwhelmed is valuable. Expressing emotions responsibly can lead to less distress and better emotional well-being. Suppressing emotions can result in anxiety, depression, or chronic stress. Patricia reflects on her upbringing where emotions were often suppressed, while Jen encourages her children to express their feelings. Navigating frustrations and meltdowns can teach resilience, patience, and personal growth. PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is neurodivergent helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you CO-HOST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.

Navigating Neurodiversity: The Struggle to Figure out the Rules We discuss the importance of emotional intelligence, & allowing oneself to feel the full range of emotions. We talk about the struggle to figure out what the unspoken expectations are. We talk about how neurodivergent brains process information compared to neurotypical brains, as well as communication styles that may be more effective. If you're neurodivergent (HSP, autistic, ADHD etc.), being around others who also have high emotional intelligence may create more intimacy and understanding in your life.  CO-HOST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC HIGHLIGHTS ·         1.Learn about the importance of feeling the full range of human emotion. ·         2. Discover that it can be safe and healthy to express your feelings. ·         4. Realize the importance of not toning down emotions. ·         5.

My guests today are on a mission to show parents that there are different ways of approaching autism beyond what they're told in doctors or therapists offices. Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards, co-authors of the book I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World, are making it really clear that there is no one size fits all for any families and that there is so much to learn from just listening more.  Meghan Ashburn is a continuous learner, educational consultant, parent mentor, and co-author of I Will Die On This Hill. She's passionate about helping schools create more inclusive, accessible environments. Her online book club has over 10K members, and releases book recommendation lists on autism and neurodiversity. Meghan advocates for communication rights and inclusion at the local, state, and national level. She sits on her school district's Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) and is a recent graduate of Virginia's Partners in Policymaking. Jules Edwards is a neurodivergent Anishinaabe writer, gardener, accountant, and disability justice advocate. She is the parent of neurodivergent Afro Indigenous people, and care provider to many neurodivergent children throughout the years.

Current roles include: care work of disabled youth, co-founder of Minnesota Autistic Alliance, board member for the Minnesota Ombudsman for American Indian Families, board member of The Arc Minnesota. She serves as the elected chairperson of the Minnesota Autism Council, a workgroup of the Senate Human Services Reform Finance and Policy Committee.

If you are listening to this podcast, my hunch is you're working hard to learn as much as you can about your child and the neurodivergent community. But the truth is, we are bound to not know some things and make mistakes. And I want to be the first one to tell you, that's okay! There is no shame in making mistakes as long as we keep on learning and try to do better further down the line.
