When many people think of autism, they think of children. But as awareness about autism grows, more adults are also being diagnosed with autism.  About two percent of adults are on the autism spectrum, which includes a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with sensory sensitivities, social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. MPR News host Angela Davis hosts part two of an April Autism Awareness Month conversation about what it's like to be an adult with autism, how to get diagnosed and the pros and cons of disclosing you're autistic in your school or workplace.Guests:  Daren Howard is deputy director of the Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) and sought his own diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder after his child received a diagnosis. He moved to Minnesota several years ago from California, where he consulted and led nonprofit organizations focused on giving children and teenagers access to after school and summer programing. Zephyr James is director of marketing and communications with the Autism Society of Minnesota. They were diagnosed with autism as a young adult.

Kadin McElwain is an autistic college student, writer, and activist who believes that everyone's purpose in society is to spread positivity.

Now his mission is to spread positivity and reduce the stigma surrounding autism.

It now affects just over 2 percent of adults in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control.MPR News host Angela Davis talks with guests about their experiences living as adults with autism.

An autism diagnosis in his 30s rocked the world of radio host Brant Hansen. Brant gets real about the social and faith-related challenges of life on the spectrum—as well as practical ways to embrace anyone living with autism. There wasn't a name for it. My mom just knew I was different. Actually, when I got diagnosed as an adult, it was explanatory to her, and she said, “Oh, that explains this. That explains that. That explains a lot of good things, like why you would compile information like you did about everything, and how you struggled with relationships; why you didn't date.” She always loved me, you know? I know that.-- Brant Hansen Show Notes and Resources Connect with Brant on Twitter @branthansen or on Facebook @branthansenpage.

Undiagnosed autism in females refers to a significant yet often overlooked phenomenon where girls and women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) go undetected or misdiagnosed. Historically, ASD has been primarily associated with males, leading to a gender bias in diagnosis and research. Females with autism often exhibit subtler, less stereotypical symptoms, making their condition harder to recognize. They may camouflage or mimic social behaviors, leading to a delayed or missed diagnosis. Undiagnosed autism in females can result in various challenges, including difficulties with social interaction, sensory processing, and mental health. Increasing awareness, understanding, and tailored diagnostic approaches are crucial for identifying and supporting these undiagnosed individuals effectively.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Some people with ASD have a known difference, such as a genetic condition. Other causes are not yet known. Scientists believe there are multiple causes of ASD that act together to change the most common ways people develop. We still have much to learn about these causes and how they impact people with ASD.

This week is a very special episode of Leaning Right And Turning Left, where Hermie and Senator Stanley have a very frank and emotional conversation about Autism from the parents' perspective. Mandi Calhoun and Hermie's wife Angie Sadler join Bill and Hermie to discuss both the challenges and triumphs of raising children with Autism. Listen as they have an honest and open discussion on their respective family's experiences raising their children, their struggles in dealing with a public educational system that (more often than not) fails parents with special needs children, and how parents can work together to change the system and ensure that their children can flourish—thereby giving them the best chance to lead wonderful, safe and productive lives as they grow into adulthood. Mandi and the group also discuss her efforts both to help parents through the challenges of raising their children, as well as to educate the special needs educators about current autism issues through her incredible organization F.E.A.T (“Families Embracing Autism Together”) – and, how you the audience member can get involved in and support this very important and special charitable organization.   In Senator Stanley's “Leaning Right Moment,” Bill and Hermie discuss three “quick hit” topics of the current goings-on in Virginia politics: the brewing debate over Governor Youngkin's significant “parents first” revision of the previous Northam administration's radical policy concerning transgender students in the public school system; the Democrat Leader in the House of Delegates ridiculously asserting in an Op-Ed that Republicans are an extreme “threat to public safety” because they believe in the 2nd Amendment; and, Sadler and the Senator even explore the recent headline-making physical altercation between two Republican Delegates from the Senator's region who are both vying for the same seat in 2023 (that has now resulted in pending criminal charges being taken out by one against the other), and whether anyone wins when political altercations like these are determined in the courtroom rather than in the voting booth. In Hermie Sadler's “Turning Left Moment,” the boys discuss the debacle of a race at Texas Motor Speedway, the current state of the Sadler/Stanley Racing Team, and speculate as to whether or not the remnants of Hurricane Ian will affect their upcoming race at Motor Mile Speedway in Radford this weekend. And hey, one of the best parts about this episode is that the boys' side-kick, their favorite “plus one,” and the infamous Party Time DJ Shep “Burn-Pile” Moss is back in studio with Sadler and the Senator, and he is ready to Drop the Beat and Light the Fire to all the current topics discussed in today's opening segment!  The Leaning Right and Turning Left With Sadler and The Senator is proudly sponsored by Pace-O-Matic, an entertainment company which develops gaming software that players love to play and can use their skills to win, every time. Pace-O-Matic is focused on people having fun, the small businesses that love them, and generates millions of dollars in Virginia. Their skill games are played in restaurants, bars and convenience stores all across Virginia, and the revenues from these games help these family-owned businesses thrive.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Nick Landry fully embraces vulnerability and authenticity as he opens up and shares his life experience living on the autism spectrum. Nick is an incredible human, a top notch educator and a passionate sports enthusiast. He leads with love, compassion, dedication, and a work ethic that is unmatched. One conversation with Nick and you'd think life never handed him any lemons. But that's not the case. Living with autism spectrum disorder and not being officially diagnosed until 6th grade came with many challenges. Being bullied, learning how to manage impulses, and feeling left out while growing up led to some of the hardest times in Nick's life. However, Nick's experiences, both good and bad, have shaped him to be the outstanding person he is today. Nick never let living on the autism spectrum get in the way of his own success. Nick is a true inspiration when it comes to understanding yourself, loving yourself, never quitting, and following your dreams and passions no matter what life throws at you. Connect with Brianna:IG: https://www.instagram.com/briannajwatson/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeependpodcastbwYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ePQ61GbN2EQjZ3dXQD92g

Sir Simon Baron-Cohen examines the changing nature of autism research and how it should become participatory and co-designed by the autistic community. He emphasizes the need for research and society to address neurodiversity and disability. He is joined by autism advocate Becca Lory Hector and special education advocate Michelle McGowan for an engaging discussion rooted in the perspective of the autism community. Series: "Autism Awareness Programs" [Health and Medicine] [Science] [Show ID: 37652]

In this episode of The Life Teacher Podcast, Hector welcomes J.R. Reed. J.R. was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome later in life. The prolonged wait to start diagnosing individuals with autism caused J.R. to experience bullying at a young age by not only his peers, but the educators that were entrusted for his education and well-being. After his diagnosis, J.R. set out to do a few things: To educate people on both sides of the spectrum by fostering meaningful conversations and to help those on the spectrum feel better about themselves and lead happier lives. J.R. and Hector have a meaningful conversation about what its like to live with autism and even go on a tangent to discuss Sheldon Cooper's character on The Big Bang Theory on the character's perceived Asperger's.

Erik Raschke puts parenting first and foremost. He is the father of 3 children and the oldest has severe autism. Two years ago he moved from Amsterdam to New Jersey so his 12 year old autistic son could receive a better education. If they stayed in the Netherlands, his future was a group home, but in NJ he has a shot at independence. Today, his son is learning and getting an education and it is truly amazing. Erik wrote a book, To The Mountain, inspired by his own experiences as a father of a boy with autism. Erik wanted his son to begin answering autism related questions because language is a huge challenge for him. His son was up for the task and joined us for the conversation!
