Podcasts about autistic

Professor Tony Attwood has specialized in Autism Spectrum Disorders since he qualified as a clinical psychologist in England in 1975. He has written two books: Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals and The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome. Between the two, they've sold over 800,000 copies and have been translated into dozens of languages. He has been a keynote speaker at many Australian and International Conferences and he presents workshops and runs training courses for parents, professionals, and individuals with Asperger's syndrome all over the world. Today, Dr. Attwood helps us to better understand autistic traits in the gender-questioning teens we see today. We covered this topic in Episode 17 but felt there were things we missed and wanted to clarify. As Dr. Atwood informed us before we hit record, his expertise is in Autism, and he may not be as well versed in the intricacies of contemporary gender identity activism or the studies around gender dysphoria, transition, and desistance. But his knowledge of autism in children and teens is vast and he was engaging and lovely to speak to! We asked Dr. Attwood about special interests, or the fixations and narrow obsessions that are common in autism, we asked him about the difficulty with socializing and how immediate affirmation in an LGBT peer group might be experienced. We also delve into the vulnerabilities and strengths of autistic adolescents and how parents can best support their children when they make rigid or urgent demands. Dr. Attwood highlights the difficult position parents may be in when their child is highly distressed but rushing into a process he/she may not fully understand. We also explored the new world that has opened up to teens via computers and social media and the tricky landscape that complicates a normal adolescent search for identity.

Often, in those with autism, the age of emotional maturity does not match the chronological age. Professor Attwood describes what he believes to be the similarities between autism and gender. Autistic individuals seek affirmation and the transgender community offers affirmation but not at the level the autistic individual is seeking. Discovering a self-identity, regardless of gender, is a mechanism of realization utilized by Professor Attwood. Parents are expected to accept a child's different concept of self in autism and gender. From a psychological perspective, it seems that social transition creates a sort of pathway toward medical transition. With autism subtlety is rare. Professor Attwood shares the positive and negative physical and psychological advantages for teens who find acceptance online. In his group, Professor Attwood explores how the world is perceived by autistic individuals. The ratio of autistic boys to girls is two to one. One in three of those in eating disorder clinics have autism, gender-dysphoria, etc. What it means when diagnoses are changed from autism to ADHD+. Professor Attwood describes an example of when children have characteristics of autism but not the disability. Gender exploration can lead to a change of course and into a new persona. Professor Attwood doesn't see autism as a psychiatric condition. Psychiatrists may see autism as a treatable condition. People who are bad at emotional regulation become controlling over others. Professor Attwood is bilingual. He speaks neuro-typical speak to neurotypical people and autism-speak to the autistic parent. Wider Lens Renewal Retreat – Arizona 2022:...

Episode 89 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is botanist, exotic plants expert and TikTok sensation Jacob Soule.When people ask Jacob Soule what he did during the COVID pandemic, he has a more interesting answer than most: he became TikTok famous. His @theplantprodigy account has almost 1 million followers and his short, entertaining, and informative videos about all things plants have over 26 million likes.  And it all started by sibling rivalry. “My brother told me that he was in a viral video that a friend had made. It got half a million views,” Soule said. “He was joking about being TikTok famous. I tried to get big on TikTok to prove him wrong. I didn't have success at first, but after December 2021, I got the ball rolling.” Soule, who has autism, has long been interested in plants. He can remember picking daisies with his grandmother. When he was in second grade he read a book that piqued his interest in carnivorous plants and he bought his first one. “I got a Venus flytrap and a pitcher plant, but they all died,” he said. “They're not that tricky if you know what you're doing and I didn't know what I was doing when I was 9 or 10 years old.” Like some plant species, his interest in plants went dormant in about 2015. But, it sprang back to life in 2017 when his current collection began to grow. He currently has over 100 plants ranging from philodendron micans to desert roses and hoya to several carnivorous pitcher plants, which he now grows quite successfully. TikTok was not his first foray into social media. He has always been interested in influencer culture and he first launched a YouTube Channel after being inspired by one of his favorite YouTubers. He created his Instagram in 2019. In his videos, he documents his own adventures as a plant owner, while also answering questions from plant parents who share videos of their droopy or browning plants. Some of the videos offer plant-related humor, such as when he stops his aunt from tossing the dregs of her wine glass into a plant pot or when he reacts with horror to atrocities such as people giving their Venus flytrap toothpaste. He'll occasionally address issues such as negative comments about his voice or his lack of knowledge about some things with a disarming honesty, saying that his voice makes him unique and he's proud of having room to grow and learn more. He hopes to parlay his TikTok popularity into a business of some sort, perhaps starting an Etsy plant shop. He is currently attending Kalamazoo Valley Community College with hopes of eventually earning a Horticulture Degree from Michigan State University. “Plants were popular before COVID. They exploded after the lockdown,” Soule said. “Why do people like plants? That's hard to answer. Maybe it's because of the idea of being responsible and taking care of something without having to put an animal or child's life at risk. And many studies show that plants can help benefit mental health. Personally, I just like the idea of growing all kinds of unique plants.”Here are the plants Wendi references in the interview: Gymnarnphora, Trusmadiensis, Miranda, Robcantleyi, and Caesar.Watch Wendi and Dfernando and their Team GENERATION RIPE: Greg Covey, Shelley McLendon and Ponciana Badia on Season 7 Episode 2 of CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD - now on ABC OnDemand and Hulu and on the GENERATION RIPE website.  Follow us on our Instagram:Wendi McLendon-CoveyDfernando ZarembaGENERATION RIPE… and guest Jacob Soule, his TikTok, and his Twitter.  Remember to subscribe to GENERATION RIPEAnd rate & leave us a review by clicking HERE!Visit Dfernando Zaremba's website: dfernandozaremba.com

It's fairly common for a person with autism to “mask” their condition so as to appear to be neurotypical. Devon Price is a social psychologist and professor at Loyola University of Chicago's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his own experience with neurodivergence – and to delve into the lives of people who feel ignored and invisible. His book is “Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity.”

For many years, parents of autistic children and family members, and autistic people themselves have expressed concerns about how they have been misunderstood, and even mistreated by medical professionals and the traditional medical systems they work within. Dr. Mel Houser has experienced this personally as a physician trained in the medical establishment, as a late diagnosed autistic woman, and as a mother of an autistic child. She discusses the need for change and the changes she is actually implementing in her medical practice.

I was diagnosed as Autistic at 35 years old. Adult Autism Diagnosis is becoming increasingly more common as we learn more about it and have more advocacy and awareness around it. Adult Autism Diagnosis — How many of us have been overlooked, misunderstood, and searching for lifelong answers? Dr. Megan Neff and I speak about our own experiences as autistic people and therapists, and how to build lives that work for us. We are hoping that people listening are able to feel validation, support, and acceptance. Some of the things that we talk about: Special Interests (my Garfield and beanie baby collection) Our own experiences as autistic adults, mental health therapists, and entrepreneurs Our own "ah-ha" moments Misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis Liberation and Grief behind diagnosis and understanding "I'm around people I love but I just can't take it in." "I can't enjoy things that are supposed to be enjoyable." – Megan The paradox of masking — liberation vs. torturous exhaustion More about Megan: Dr. Megan Anna Neff has a doctorate in clinical psychology and is currently a psychology resident in private practice where she specializes in working with neurodivergent adults and provides neurodivergent affirming assessments. They are a parent to two neurodivergent children and in an inter-neuro partnership. She is a late-in-life diagnosed autistic-ADHDer who is passionate about educating the mental health field on non-stereotypical presentations of autism and ADHD.  Neff has co-authored two books, published in several peer-reviewed psychological journals and serves as a peer-reviewer for APA journals. She has a passion for research and for translating research into visualizations. You can also find their work on Instagram (@Neurodivergent_Insights) where they turn peer-reviewed academic articles into visual pixels one post at a time. -------------------------------------------------------

Licensed mental health therapist Kyira Wackett of Adversity Rising is joining us today to share some insight into feelings of guilt and shame and how it affects our communication, how to move forward from feelings of lack of trust, anger, and pain, and how processing these feelings leads to acceptance and the ability to look at what your child really needs in order to thrive.   Kyira's website: https://adversityrising.com/   Shownotes: theieplab.com/episode54 Facebook group: https://urlgeni.us/facebook/IEPlab

Recorded Live 10am PT August 2nd, 2022 #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #autismpodcast   3:49 Is increase in babbling after intensive ABA therapy is a good or bad thing? I want to update and ask you some questions. My son right now, 3 years 6 months old. Has been in ABA since 3 years old, first 20 hours per week and we increasing per month. Right now, he is in ABA therapy for 50 hours per week (in 3 different centers in Jakarta) and 2 hours per week sensory integration and occupational therapy. After very intensive ABA this 1 month, he increasing eye contact, tacting, labelling, manding, some intraverbals (answering questions). But, still very little spontaneous sentence or comment, and not yet conversational sentence. He is also increasing in babbling, random speech (not functional and also functional words). My questions, what can we expect from the therapy? Can very lot of ABA therapy cause overdose? Is increase in babbling (between functional words) after intensive ABA therapy is a good or bad things? How long does intensive ABA therapy will last? What outcome we can see in the upcoming months or years? Right now he still in minimal verbal stimming (can ABA therapy reduced or minimize/disappear the verbal stimming?) (My son can interact like hugging, kissing, say good bye, kiss bye, he is a sweet and cheerful, playful boy)   18:56 what is a good behavior token economy. we started a summer challenge photograph the alpha bet. hope it motivates our support staff your thoughts   20:05 How do we get our son to sit through a hair cut, he's almost 8. It's getting tougher every time.   32:21 Do you have any kids that have gone through the stem cell therapy option? what were their outcomes?   35:12 What is the best way to plan a birthday party for an autistic individual? I have heard horror stories of parents planning birthday parties and nobody shows up or rsvps. some have called police officers to show up. some have had to use social media campaigns. etc. what is the best way to plan a birthday party for an autistic individual?   43:18 My son can seem to get good ABA he will start and then the BI will quit or move it's been so hard, Also they just sit him at a desk the whole time so my son feels like he is back at school.   50:25 Self Injurious Behavior (Banging Hands on Hard Surfaces) I wrote in a few weeks ago for Dr. Doreen regarding my son's self injurious stimming. Shannon asked me to email her but I haven't had the chance, we were in crisis mode. We've tried all types of replacements but nothing is working. He bangs his hand,wrist and knuckles and is causing swelling and bruises. It's not attention seeking. He likes how it feels when he bangs, He does it when there are no demands. He does it when he's alone, I've had to buy him a glove to protect his hand, wrist, knuckles. He's happy when he bangs, He's laughing and playing while he's doing it, He does it in all settings and places.   https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? https://www.instagram.com/askdrdoreen/   Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

Diane J Wright is an autistic advocate and the founder of Autastic, an online community that aims to help late diagnosed autistic adults, particularly those from minority communities, and is the only resource of its size founded by a woman of colour.  Now 51, she was diagnosed autistic at 42. Her career has been in the entertainment industry, and she now provides diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility consultation to film and television producers and writers, focusing on neurodivergence and communities of colour, drawing on her lived experience as an Afro-Caribbean, biracial, invisibly disabled Canadian-American. In our conversation we talk about: ➡ Picking apart the complexities of childhood trauma and autism ➡ Her work shaping how neurodivergent stories are told in film and TV ➡ The experiences and challenges of autistic people of colour, and why there aren't more Black autistic advocates ➡ The experiences and needs of older late diagnosed autistic people ➡ The role masking plays in success, and the importance of reframing what it means to  be successful. Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.   EPISODE LINKS: https://autastic.com  https://twitter.com/WeAreAutastic  https://instagram.com/WeAreAutastic https://facebook.com/WeAreAutastic  If you'd like to connect or get in touch with Squarepeg, you can find me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squarepeg.community/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/squarepegautism  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/squarepegautism/  Or on my website: https://squarepeg.community/    THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS!

Ask Dr. Doreen – Elopement – ABA Therapy – Obsessive Counting   Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions! Tune in and check it out! Tune in on Facebook, YouTube or Twitter Tuesdays at 10am PT to join us LIVE! Recorded Live 10am PT July 26th, 2022 #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #autismpodcast   5:02 I am in desperate need of some advice or direction.  (Elopement) My 5-year-old eloped this morning and the rental office in which I live brought him back I assuming.  I was in the bathroom freshening up for the day when I came out to knocking on the door.  My son was in the living room, and we were waiting for the maintenance man to fix our AC that has been broken for 2.5 days now.  I opened the door thinking it was them to fix the AC, but it was not, it was the office lady telling me they found my boy down around the corner.    As of right now, my nerves are shot.  I have done everything I could think of to prevent any of this to happen.  I am horrified that CPS and the authorities were called and that I may have been reported.  IS there anything that could happen as to having my son removed?  I am literally sick to my stomach, throwing up and stomach cramps and headaches.  This nightmare I want it to be over but do not know what is going to happen at this moment.   UPDATE:  We bought a lock with a key lock.  MY nerves are still on edge this morning. Monday July 26th 2022 that I still in my mind think he still can get out.  I know he cannot get out, there is no way he can.   20:12 what way can we provide auditory stimulation to a child who is continuously clapping, stamping feet, and hitting object to teeth.   27:10 What can be happening when a child stares for moments many times during the day. Done an EEG and it came out normal and whenever i touched her she is able to react. But I would like to know what it could be.   28:46 Can you please break down how I should teach my child at home? We use play therapy in Canada, and I feel like play should be part of the therapy not all. Can a child pronunciation improve with time?   38:32 For a 20-month-old is it home therapy better than clinic-based therapy?   44:16 here is a personal question. my aunt and uncle were supposed to come in today but due to a mishap in her medication her and my uncle aren't able to come. me and this particular uncle have a very deep relationship and we haven't seen each other in a year and a half due to them moving to North Carolina. I'm handling it surprisingly well, but I'm afraid in the next few days i might have a huge meltdown when it hits in fully. help me and my family.   48:55 Obsessive Counting Plenty of others deserve time but I will put this thought/question out. A verbal-stim/script behavior pattern is occurring frequently now & impairing/preventing interaction. My 5yr ASD son has taken to CONSTANTLY without stopping 30-40min. COUNTING. 100s/1000s even is OK. but he jumps into sequences of millions, billions, trillions, Google and zillion. onto creating his own. Recently he went from prep-time for out-the-door to reach summer school constant counting going through breakfast, teeth, socks, shoes, into car, trip to summer school, arrive @ school, and without stopping as he went into open area (alone). This is impairing and will make learning in a classroom not possible; and not acceptable.   55:16 Obsessive Counting Cont'd A good thing? Why would it turn on a go for 30-40min? Whisper it silently in the playground alone .. and a home. / Hmm. interesting thoughts my son is super smart about math ^ measurement, time etc...   1:02:26 Coming up on the show this week!   https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? https://www.instagram.com/askdrdoreen/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWSL-fAgvt3qo5yGwP4SUUQ   Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

“The last commissions paper about the future of clinical autism research I think is a very good example of how there is mismatch between the priorities and needs of autistic people and the priorities of researchers.

Heini joins this episode of Autism Stories to discuss her career as a computational biologist and functional genomics as well talk about research that benefits the autistic community.

Claire Gardener is a homeopath and primary school teacher in London in the UK. She is 45 and self diagnosed as autistic five years ago, after experiencing burnout in her teaching role.  A special interest in children's literature lead to her first career in book editing, which came to an end as a result of workplace bullying. Since her burnout, she has trained in homeopathy, and continues to work part time as a teacher. Her specialism as a homeopath is in working with other late-diagnosed autistic women and non-binary people to help them come to terms with their autism by exploring the impact that autistic trauma has on their nervous systems, and how they cope with and manage the effects of this day-to-day. In our conversation we talk about  ➡ The challenges of being an autistic teacher  ➡ Managing the social aspect of workplaces, and her experience of workplace bullying ➡ Trauma and how it manifests in autistic people ➡ How trauma, anxiety and the nervous system interplay in autistic minds and bodies    If you are a Patron you can find an extra recording of me and Claire in my Patreon! If you'd like to become a Patron, click here. Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.   EPISODE LINKS: Claire's website: https://www.clairegardenerhomeopathy.com  Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/claire_gardener_homeopathy/  Her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/greenwichhomeopathy/ If you'd like to connect or get in touch with Squarepeg, you can find me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squarepeg.community/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/squarepegautism  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/squarepegautism/  Or on my website: https://squarepeg.community/    THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS!

It is widely accepted that many autistic children and adults may have difficulties feeling comfortable in social interaction and social relationships given neurotypical expectations. Non-autistic people also may also feel uncomfortable and may have difficulty adjusting their style of communication and social interaction to support successful social engagement. Dave and Barry discuss these issues from a neurotypical and autistic perspective, looking, in part, through the lens of cultural differences in autistic and neurotypical conventions, while acknowledging the great individual variations in across individual people.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we talk to Matt Asner, son of seven-time Emmy winner, actor Ed Asner. Of course, most of us know Ed Asner as Lou Grant from The Mary Tyler Moore Show as well as the dramatic series Lou Grant that followed. But as Matt told us on this episode, Ed Asner was generational. To some, it was his seventies and eighties television work that made an impact. To others, it might be his work (and his voice) from a host of animated series in the 90s from Batman or Superman or Spider Man. Some know him as Santa in the Christmas classic Elf. Others know him as Carl Fredricksen in Pixar's Up. Still others know him as the bad guy from the sixties film They Call Me Mr.Tibbs and even others from mini-series like Roots and Rich Man, Poor Man. Regardless of how you know the gruff but lovable actor, Ed Asner was known as a consummate professional, head of the Screen Actors Guild, tireless activist for a variety of causes, and Matt tells us all about them on the latest episode. We also get to hear about Gavin MacLeod's bubble gum obsession, “Uncle” Ted Knight, The Compass Players who Ed was a member of that birthed Second City, Paul Newman & Fort Apache The Bronx, death threats as well as family LA haunts like Art's Deli, Madam Wong's West and The Ed Asner Family Center. The Center promotes self-confidence, balance and wellness in differently-abled individuals and their families. And it's all next on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen. Oh Mr. Grant!

Imagine having a nine-year-old son who was so violent that you were afraid of him? Acclaimed Korean American writer and author, Marie Myung-Ok Lee, accepted the diagnosis of autism the doctors gave her son, but knew that there was something else going on, something that defied traditional treatment plans and medication. So what would you do if Cannabis was the only thing that seemed to offer your son the relief he needed for his pain? Would you be too afraid to administer it because of what people might say? Or would you give the middle finger to the world and provide your son with the only treatment that really worked?
