Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In the second part of the interview with neuropsychologist Donna Henderson, co-author of 'Is it Autism?', discussions focus on the complexities of diagnosing autism and its overlap with chronic pain conditions. Henderson emphasizes the need for more clinicians to be adept at recognizing autism, particularly due to long waiting lists for specialists. She highlights the importance of contextual understanding and the pitfalls of misdiagnosis, including how autistic traits can be mistaken for negative personality traits. The episode also addresses the concept of neurocrash and autistic burnout, presenting practical advice for clinicians to better support their neurodivergent patients.00:00 Introduction to the Interview with Donna Henderson00:37 The Challenge of Diagnosing Autism in Adults02:06 The Role of Clinicians in Autism Diagnosis04:37 Misdiagnosis and the Importance of Understanding Autism06:54 Autistic Traits and Misunderstandings22:40 Neurocrash and Autistic Burnout26:29 Conclusion and Key Takeaways Support the showA Fibromyalgia Starter Pack, which is a great companion to the book Conquering Your Fibromyalgia, is now available.

Our interactions with the environment can have unexpected effects on our genes and trigger a biologic response that leads to the onset of disease. These interactions can also leave a measurable record in what's referred to as the exposome. LinusBio, which emerged from the exposome laboratory at Mount Sinai Health System, has developed a test for autism that relies on analyzing a single strand of hair. The company said the test is capable of diagnosing autism at birth. We spoke to Manish Arora, founder and CEO of LinusBio, about the exposome, how the company's test for autism works, and how this opens the potential for early interventions.

When it comes to the growth and development of your little one, I think it's safe to say that most mums have a tendency to be oversensitive. We all have stories to relate of parents we know or have seen being hugely over protective.However, no one knows your little one like you do, so it's important to seek professional help if you feel something is amiss with their natural development. Always trust that gut feeling!The earlier conditions such as ADHD and autism are diagnosed, the better, so if in doubt get on to it!This week's guest Theresa Inman knows all about this because she works with children from birth to three years of age to help identify whether they have issues. She then provides strategies and help, in conjunction with an occupational therapist which can help prevent things from escalating.Theresa is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist and author of the book How Can I Help My Child Communicate.In this episode you'll hear Theresa and I talk about:-Why it's so important for early intervention and to get them diagnosed early during the crucial birth to aged three window and not to delay this.What moms can look for that could indicate issues such as speech delays or sensory issues.Possible signs that could point to autism.AND much more.So go ahead, my dear mum.

Diagnosing Autism can be a very daunting process.  In some cases, especially in adults, the process can take several doctors, a multitude of tests and questions, and in some cases a fair amount of out-of-pocket expense.So why do we bother?  For some, it is a simple need to know for certain what we already suspect.  In the case of our children or a young adult, it could mean the difference between obtaining helpful services or having services that are possible but out of reach.This visit we talk with Dr. Allison Burke, the director of the diagnostic clinic at Akron Children's Hospital.  We'll get a glimpse of the diagnostic process and how Akron Children's is working to make the diagnosis process a more pleasant and workable experience.Support the showThanks for Listening!

April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month and here at ChildNEXUS, we want to do our part to increase acceptance and understanding as well as help parents and educators connect with the resources they need. So, today we are re-airing an episode with Dr. Lisa Hancock to help us better understand what Autism Spectrum Disorder is. 1 in 54 children in the United States are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With this number growing, it would make sense that this is a very well understood disorder. Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion surrounding ASD, what it looks like, and what to do about it. Because of this confusion, I knew we needed an expert to help us better understand it.  Our guest today is Dr. Lisa Hancock. Dr. Hancock is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, those who are twice-exceptional, and those who are highly gifted. She has worked for many years helping families navigate both public and private school systems, and she provides neuropsychological assessments to determine underlying issues in children, teens, and adults. In today's episode, Dr. Hancock paints a clearer picture of what Autism Spectrum Disorder is, why there is confusion surrounding it, and what it could look like in children and adults. She helps us better navigate understanding of this large umbrella term and leaves us wanting to learn more.   Show Notes: [3:57] - Prior to 2013, there was a distinctive difference between Autism, Asperger's, and other terms. Dr. Hancock explains why there was a difference. [5:10] - After 2013, Autism and Asperger's were put under one umbrella term. [6:41] - Dr. Hancock understands why Autism and Asperger's are grouped together but explains why those in the field will use both terms when speaking to parents. [9:14] - Dr. Hancock diagnoses Autism in adults who were previously missed. [10:09] - The tests used in diagnosing are different depending on the age of the child. [10:59] - There is a test that is commonly used to diagnose Autism that Dr. Hancock does not use.  [13:41] - Diagnosing Autism could be missed for a variety of reasons. [15:14] - Age 4 and 5 is a window for noticeable Autism-related behaviors. [16:26] - What is a child capable of doing but isn't doing consistently? [18:44] - There is no standard for diagnosing Autism in teens and adults in the United States. Some adults realize they may have been misdiagnosed. [20:31] - Dr. Hancock developed a battery for identifying Autism in adults. [23:10] - Those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and a developmental or intellectual delay are often diagnosed by a pediatrician. Dr. Hancock sees children who have less noticeable symptoms. [25:56] - Dr. Hancock explains patterns in birth history, learning disabilities, eating issues, sleeping problems, and auditory processing. [26:59] - Social issues in early years are harder to pinpoint especially when children attend the same school for several years. [28:10] - Dr. Hancock describes some social issues that could vary depending on the child in question. [29:53] - There is confusion around children being able to outgrow symptoms. Some young people with ASD continue to struggle with certain things, but you just don't see it because they learn compensatory skills and strategies. [31:42] - Why is it important to have an Autism diagnosis? [33:51] - A lot of parents don't want to tell the child's school about a diagnosis due to stigma. But Dr. Hancock explains why this is not a good idea. [34:47] - Dr. Hancock discusses safety in those with Autism. [36:44] - There are things that are impacted that aren't generally thought about. [38:09] - We need to believe children when they say that they “don't know” instead of assuming that they don't want to do something.   About Our Guest: Dr. Lisa Hancock is a licensed clinical psychologist who provides neuropsychological assessments, counseling, and psychotherapy to children, teens, families, couples, and adults.

But they still struggle with certain things but you just don't see it due to learning how to blend. [31:01] - Why is it important to have a diagnosis? [33:10] - A lot of parents don't want to tell the child's school about a diagnosis due to negative bias. But Dr. Hancock explains why this is not a good idea. [34:06] - Dr. Hancock discusses safety and aggression in those with Autism. [36:03] - There are things that are impacted that aren't generally thought about. [37:28] - We need to believe children when they say that they don't know or can't know instead of assuming that they don't want to do something.

Covid-19 made all aspects of life difficult, and it was no different with diagnosing autism. Dr. Catherine Lord was able to develop an evaluation with her team, the BOSA, that was able to help identify some behaviors that could be pointing toward autism. This evaluation was able to ensure that man-children could stay on the right track to get a diagnosis as well as treatment.

DISCLAIMER: I am no medical doctor, I'm just your normal Jo Bloggs who's sharing her lived experiences with Autism that was called Aspergers. If you see any warning signs/symptoms that may be related to any of the topics I share as of in the future, please seek a second opinion or treatment with a medical professional. What I share with you in how I go about managing my autism will vary from person to person and that what may work for me, may not work for you and what will work for you may not work for me and vice versa. So, please be considerate while I give you all my advice and/or tips. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that begins prenatally. While many autistic people don't show clear traits in early childhood, signs usually begin showing up in the first few months to years of life. If you suspect your child may be autistic, there are a few signs you can look for in early childhood that might point to a diagnosis. Yet, some of the signs and symptoms will vary from person to person with the diagnosis. There are two methods in this step-by-step audio comprehension guide and they are as follows: Method 1: Accessing Your Child at Home and Method 2 is Talking to your pediatrician along with some tips and warnings from an Aspie. *ABOUT ME* Hello, I'm Aspie Answers from NZ.I have Aspergers Syndrome that is now clinically known in the DSM5 Manual of Diagnostics as Autism.

Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health!  This week our guest is Dr. Samuel Chawner, a research fellow from Cardiff University's Center for Human Developmental Science. His reasearch integrates genetics and psychology to provide new insights into child development and autism. Rather than disgnosing autism purely on symptoms, Dr. Chawner's studies use genetic testing to produce a more inclusive diagnostic procedure that aims to help individuals who don't meet the criteria for autism but still need help. We also discuss the effects of Covid-19 in Europe and the UK, as well as some of the differences between the US healthcare system and the European model.  You can find Dr. Chawner's Cardiff University staff page as well as links to his publications here: https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/2422703-  His work with the Genes to Mental Health Network, where he is a Co-Investigator on Project 2, is also available here: https://genes2mentalhealth.com/  All our upcoming continuing education events can be found at www.cbicenterforeducation.com  You can watch or listen to The Barrier Breakdown on any of the following streaming services: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyc6xZzY7ra3L5pI2g5GKrw   Podbean - https://cbi.podbean.com Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2ETgUdDykWN96Tv26PWyZ2   Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-barrier-breakdown-disrupting-mental-health/id1546097545   Follow us on social media: CBI: https://www.facebook.com/CognitiveBehaviorInstitute  Center for Ed: https://www.facebook.com/CBIcenterforeducation  Instagram: @cognitivebehaviorinstitute  Twitter: @CBI_Pittsburgh :::::::::::::::::::: Music: Basic Majesty - Ashley Shadow Support by RFM - NCM: https://youtu.be/XVwlTTMgw5c   ::::::::::::::::::::

Stephanie Holmes joins to discuss her experience as a parent of a female child with Autism. Stephanie is a board Certified Christian Counselor and Certified Autism Specialist.She believes counseling begins with the an understanding that we are physiological, psychological, and spiritual persons. Because of this belief, Christian principles are blended with compatible psychological techniques and theories in order to promote psychological, relational, and spiritual growth through counseling. Counseling is a process that promotes positive change, but the overall decision to change and apply various techniques is the sole choice and responsibility of the counselee.  I provide counseling services for individuals, couples, and families.Read her excellent article on the subject here.www.counselorstephanieholmes.com

Dr. Celine Saulnier has been a presenter at the annual Converge Autism Summit presented by Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health. She joins us today to discuss the often rocky road of correctly diagnosing Austism Spectrum Disorder. Dr. Saulnier obtained her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut, after which she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center under the mentorship of Dr. Ami Klin. After her postdoc, Dr. Saulnier joined the Yale faculty, where she became both the Clinical Director and the Training Director for the Autism Program, managing and supervising multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluations on individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from infancy through young adulthood. At Marcus Autism Center, Dr. Saulnier is the Director of the Clinical Assessment Core for the NIH Autism Center of Excellence (ACE) grant, overseeing clinical and diagnostic evaluations on infants and toddlers with and at risk for ASD. In addition to her research on early detection, Dr. Saulnier’s research focuses on profiles of adaptive behavior in autism spectrum disorder, particularly on the discrepancy between cognitive ability and the application of functional skills to daily contexts and routines. 

New research from the CDC estimates one in 59 children has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Rebecca Landa of the Kennedy Krieger Institute explains that detecting autism requires piecing together behavioral symptoms, as well as tracing family and developmental history. The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) at Kennedy Krieger Institute will hold its 18th annual conference on October 11-12 in Timonium, MD. Then: kids with autism grow into college students with autism. At Towson University, a program called COLA aims to help them better transition to campus life. We hear about the different it is making in the classroom and the dorm room. The COLA program is under the umbrella of services offered by the Hussman Center for Adults with Autism.
