Podcasts about autistic spectrum disorder asd

Today is part two of Bea's conversation with Ben Rein, a science communicator and postdoc at Stanford University. This time, they are talking about the research that Ben did during his PhD, studying Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Ben describes using the mouse model to study the link between genetic changes, prefrontal cortex activity, and social behaviour, and how studies done in mice can be a step on a long road towards clinical trials. Ben explains the diagnostic criteria and how one goes about getting an ASD diagnosis in the US, and discusses the known causes of autism. Ben and Bea also talk about Andrew Wakefield's falsified data and emphasise the abundant evidence demonstrating that vaccines do not cause autism. Ben talks about the neuroscience of pain and empathy, studies done on the social transfer of pain, and the implications these findings can have for treatment. Bea and Ben also discuss the placebo effect, how powerful it is, and if there is a way to utilise that power outside of research.

We are a small business striving for big changes when it comes to diversity and inclusion in children's literature.  We strongly believe that changes need to be made in the publishing industry to produce and positively promote stories that reflects and honours the lives of all young people.  In 2017, Pam's eldest son, Walter (aged 4 at the time) was diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  As parents Pam and her husband found it difficult to find diverse books where children like Walter could see themselves in the pages of books. They say "create the things you wish existed", so Pam created 'Just Like Me Books' - a picture book series where at the heart of each story we explore and promote Diversity, Inclusiveness, Acceptance and Kindness.  We want to change the narrative and create a series where every child regardless of their ethnicity, disability, gender or background gets to say they are the hero of their own story.

An estimated 1% of children worldwide are described as autistic.  But what exactly does that mean?  What is autism?  And what are the promises, perils and politics of pharmaceutical intervention - could, should autism be treated? This podcast features some of the key points raised by autistic people and their families at an event held at Kings College, University of London in late October 2014  to discuss the EU AIMS project (European Autism Interventions - A Multicentre Study for Developing New Medications).  To play this edited version click the button above.  A podcast of the full, unedited, event can be found here. The event was chaired by Sandy Starr, Progress Educational Trust Speakers were: Prof Ilina Singh, King’s College London Prof Declan Murphy, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London Prof Richard Ashcroft ,Queen Mary, University of London Virginia Bovell:  Ambitious About Autism Russell Stronach:  Autistic UK Importantly, as Ilina Singh and Sandy Starr say, autism has multiple claims on those involved in this event, both speakers and participants. Many are living with autism or are parents of children with autism. Autism affects how someone communicates with and relates to other people, it can also affect how they make sense of the world.  But it is what is called a ‘spectrum condition’ – which means that different autistic people are affected in different ways depending where they are on the spectrum.  And it’s a wide spectrum - some autistic people have above average intelligence and some have severe learning disabilities. So, autism can be described (although as Richard Ashcroft said at the event, 'when you have met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism') but almost nothing is known about why one in a hundred of us will have the diagnosis.  Are the causes genetic, hormonal, social,or is it something to do with the wiring of the brain – or is it a combination of those things?  No one knows. And that is why the EU AIMS project has been set up.  It is the largest ever academic/industry collaboration aimed at understanding autism and finding new methods for developing drugs for the autism spectrum disorder. It is led by Kings college London (with partners in 13 other centres of academic excellence around Europe) and by Pharmaceutical company Roche, in partnership with other huge global pharma companies. Although it is clear that new drugs are the longer term aim of the project (and there is no evidence for the efficacy of any of the current treatments for the core symptoms of autism), the first phase is about understanding Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  And there is much to understand.  The EU AIMS project has brought together researchers from diverse backgrounds –genetics, neuroscience and cellular biology – and they are all beavering away looking for an answer to the question – what is autism? So we’ve got big pharma and we’ve got academic researchers. But where are the people with autism and their families?  They live day in day out with autism, they must have crucial insights and experience to feed into the research programme….  Given the fact that the scientists don’t know what autism is, surely their knowledge and perspective is  indispensable. That gap has been recognised - although perhaps a little late in the day given that EU AIMS is in its second year. This event was just one of a series of events around Europe planned for the next few months.
