MESSAGE: My name is Kristopher “The Elite” Cloud, Im a Mixed Martial Artist, I fight in the Featherweight Division. MMA is a type of combat sport, while the UFC is a sports company. MMA, short for “Mixed Martial Arts,” combines boxing, judo, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and other full-contact fighting sports. The United Fighting Championship, better known as the UFC, is a company that promotes MMA. * In other words, MMA is to the UFC what basketball is to the NBA. The former is a sport, and the latter is an organization that promotes that sport. * There are many MMA companies in the world, but the UFC is the largest and most famous. Today, there are dozens of rules governing what MMA fights can and cannot do in the ring. For instance, strikes to the spine, throat, and back of the head aren't allowed. These rules have been put in place to prevent serious injuries—or worse. For more information: https://www.wikihow.com/Mma-vs-Ufc What are Signs of High-Functioning Autism? People with high functioning autism may have developed a series of coping mechanisms and compensatory strategies over time that help to “mask” the signs of autism, which can make it more difficult to determine autism severity. These individuals, especially if they were not diagnosed as children, may not realize that they have autism and see their ASD behaviors and coping mechanisms in daily life as normal. It is important to remember that one individual will not exhibit every single one of these traits, and the degree to which these traits are exhibited will differ from person to person.

At least 1 in every 54 Americans are on the Autism Spectrum.  But prosecutors and judges often fail to understand what Autism is, why those on the spectrum can be morally blameless for the crimes they have committed, why they are they unlikely to reoffend, and why sending them to prison is cruel and unusual punishment.

Anxiety is a familiar feeling. How is anxiety different when you're on the spectrum struggle a bit extra with social interactions, attending entertainment or sporting events (even if it's something you want to do). That's the thing about nervous energy. It's in the nerves and the nerves pick up on EVERYTHING. Then you add in sensory sensitives to lights, sounds, crowds, smells and chaos... even a trip to the grocery store on a crowded afternoon can take a Neurodiverse family down a quiet isle to regroup. It always seems like the most difficult task during those moments is communicating with people in your group, but the silent shot in the dark is when your brain is ramping up into high alert mode and your creative thoughts lose all their energy and focus. Trying to come up with a gameday food plan, for example, becomes an usually daunting task. These are just a few of the things others can take for granted. Not us. These are decisions we had to agree to before we left the house. As we prepare for the NFL Superbowl later this afternoon, we talk about Anxiety impacts us and even more so for Blake. Learning how to talk yourself through your anxiety is a learned skill but it can be learned.

Here are 5 traits of high functioning autism that you can identify easy in some one. First off it should be noted that there is no real high functioning autism level there is only the autism spectrum disorders. That being said some people still think of it as being a high functioning form of autism. Here are five ways you can see autism traits in somebody who may be displaying a more lower support needs side of autism. 1.Love Of Routine Autistic people love routines and will stick to daily routine rigidly. 2.Special Interest Most autistic people have a special interest that they are obsessive about. 3.Odd Food Habits An autistic person may have unusual eating habits, like separating foods on a plate so they do not touch. 4.Difficulty In Conversion Autism is a social and communication issue, there for creating difficulty when a person on the spectrum is trying to converse with another. 5.Anxiety / Overwhelmed Easy Autism meltdowns happen because of an overwhelming anxiety or emotion.

On episode 105, we welcome back Licensed Professional Counselor Emily-Kircher Morris to discuss teaching twice exceptional (2e) children, the neurodiversity movement and its contribution to helping us accept the neurological differences in one another, Alen's early struggles with anxiety and how they affected his schoolwork, how specific disabilities (such as Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders) caused teachers and caregivers to overlook children's exceptional cognitive abilities, Bill de Blasio's decision to end gifted and talented programs in NYC public schools, why equality of opportunity is better for our communities than equality of outcome, the ways in which gifted programs can be improved and expanded to include more Black and Latino students, clinical counseling for 2e children and adults, and why pretending that some children aren't intellectually gifted can harm all of them. Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC has dual Masters degrees in Counseling and Education. She specializes in working with gifted/high-potential and 2e students, including those with ADD/ADHD, Asperger's/High-Functioning Autism, and anxiety. Emily frequently works with clients on emotional intensity, underachievement, depression, perfectionism, social skills, and bullying.

My guest this week is Dr. Kelly Mahler, has a doctorate in occupational therapy, and has been an occupational therapist for 18 years serving school-aged children and adults. Kelly is the winner of multiple awards, including the 2020 American Occupational Therapy Association Emerging and Innovative Practice Award, and a Mom's Choice Gold Medal. She's an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Occupational Therapy at Elizabethtown College and is actively involved in several research projects pertaining to topics like interoception, self-regulation, trauma, and autism. Kelly is an international speaker and presents frequently on topics related to a wide variety of resources she has authored. She's got lots of great books and resources, like The Interoception Curriculum, Interoception Activity Cards, Sensory Issues, and High-Functioning Autism. In this episode, Dr. Kelly and I are going to talk about the importance of the 8th sense, also known as the interoception sensory system, which helps you understand and feel your bodily cues.  This critical system is often forgotten about and problematic in sensory processing disorder individuals, where it can be over or under-functioning. We will discuss how this severely impacts the life and development of a child or adult that is struggling to modulate it and share clinical approaches to strengthening this system.

Coming into April, Autism Awareness Month, we’ve noticed more families coming to our website with questions about high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Some are seeking guidance on challenges families face, some wanting to learn more about behaviors stereotypically associated with ASD, and others wondering what happened to the Asperger’s diagnosis. On today’s episode of “Shrinking It Down,” we welcome special guest Dr. Robyn Thom, a psychiatrist at the Lurie Center for Autism at the Massachusetts General Hospital, for a conversation about challenges for kids and teens with ASD, including with social relationships and repetitive behaviors. She also shares guidance on seeking evaluation and treatment for kids with ASD, as well as the importance of early disclosure about their diagnosis. Thank you for joining in this conversation.

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. High Functioning Autism is neither an official diagnosis nor is it or has there been an agreed-upon definition of what the term actually means. In the broadest sense of the term, high-functioning autism may mean any of the following descriptors: A person with relatively mild symptoms which, despite their mildness, are significant enough to merit an autism spectrum diagnosis A person with autism whose IQ is higher than 70 A person with autism who is successfully navigating a typical school or work enviroment. A person who is able to mask symptoms of autism successfully so they have in expected ways and can "pass" as being almost a neurotypical. A person who at one point had an Aspergers syndrome diagnosis. Want to find out more about what am about to share? Feel free to have a listen to my thoughts about this. *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.

In this episode, Patrick welcomes Dylan Volk. After years of what his parents called “the diagnosis of the month club,” Dylan was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism at the age of eight. Life has been a minefield of obstacles for Dylan. When he was little, he struggled with learning the rules and following directions that did not make sense to him. As he got older, he was challenged, especially socially, by a world that seemed extremely confusing to him, with a disability that to most was invisible. Even today, Dylan works hard to figure out what he needs to do in order to get through each day as a 27-year-old adult with autism in our fast-paced and often unforgiving society. Dylan graduated from Sedgefield High School in 2010 and is currently pursuing his goal of making it in the entertainment industry. He has a YouTube channel under his stage name “Real Dielawn” where viewers are treated on a daily basis to a look inside his one-of-a-kind mind. Dylan has also been a regular on SiriusXM's “Dirty Pop Live” hosted by Lance Bass, heard formerly on OutQ Channel 106 and RadioAndy Channel 102. He has hosted his own radio show, “Ridin with Dielawn” which aired Saturday nights in Portland, Maine on WLOB 100.5-FM and via his podcast. Dylan has been enjoying his experiences speaking about his life and the book he wrote with his father.  His presentations to thousands of people from coast to coast have been overwhelmingly well-received. He hopes his work helping his father write Chasing the Rabbit: A Dad's Life Raising a Son on the Autism Spectrum and his new book, Bad Choices Make Good Stories: My Life with Autism, will help families as they navigate through the difficulties of living life on the spectrum.  He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. Find Dylan here: https://dylandielawnvolk.com/ Stay tuned for more amazing guests and content.   Patrick

In this week's podcast, Jaime Roche shares with us how she's learned to help her son reach his potential and discover his superpowers. Jaime began her career in the field of mental health after obtaining her Masters degree in Social Work. Her passion for helping special-needs children and their families led her to work in both public and private school settings, various mental health organizations and eventually to begin her own private psychotherapy practice. Jaimie has devoted her work to treating children, teens and young adults with a wide array of mental health conditions such as ADHD, Aspergers, Anxiety & Mood Disorders and High Functioning Autism. Jaimie is a Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and a Certified Parent and Educator Coach for Tournesol Kids, a non-profit organization that strives to bring embodied literacy into schools and local communities by teaching holistic development strategies to children, parents and educators. Her mission is to support, educate and empower special-needs children, their families and their communities.

Drive Fit is a great training tool for everyone that wants to learn drive. And, the driving tours are a great way to learn a new city. Drive Fit is particularly well suited as a training tool for people with cognitive issues such as Aspergers Syndrome and High Functioning Autism. Like most of us, people with cognitive issues need to get around for work, school, and social activities. Although people with cognitive challenges may have average or above-average intelligence, their unique learning style may keep them from being able to learn to drive through traditional driver's education programs. Drive Fit is the latest tool based on the work of Miriam Monahan an Occupational Therapist  that specializes in helping people with cognitive challenges (such as Traumatic Brain Injury, ADHD, and Returning Combat Veterans) learn to drive. Her previous tools are used by OTs to help aspiring drivers learn to focus on critical roadway information while ignoring all the unnecessary, non-critical things that might be going on. For the first time, Drive Fit takes this specialized knowledge out of the clinic and makes it available to everyone on an iPad.
