The final episode of Mile High Stash's season two features Keith Karraker, whose late husband Steve Silberman passed away last month.Silberman, author of the award-winning autism history "NeuroTribes" and co-author of the Grateful Dead dictionary "Skeleton Key," was a world-renowned writer who loved music, literature and people deeply.Steve - who received beautiful obituaries in the New York Times, Rolling Stone and elsewhere - touched so many lives and inspired so many people that attempting to describe his unique and powerful passion for not just connecting with interesting people but connecting interesting people with each other seems impossible. But we tried.

Mark chats to the inspirational Kieran Rose. As well as being autistic/ADHD himself, Kieran has three autistic/ADHD children (11, 14 and 15) as well as an autistic wife. Kieran is an author, academic, trainer, consultant and all round font of knowledge on autism, so this episode contains some fascinating insights into the different communication styles between neurodivergents and neurotypicals when having a conversation. As well as topics such as situational mutism, hyperverbalism and monotropism, Mark and Kieran swap tales about the fact they're never able to finish a conversation without being interrupted and discuss the perils of group conversation and their very different takes on the ridiculous neurotypical habit of engaging in small talk.   LINKS TO STUFF WE MENTION IN THIS EPISODE: Neurodive Podcast - https://soundcloud.com/neurodivepod/kieranrose Kieran's website - https://theautisticadvocate.com/ Maori word for autism - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-40493398   KIERAN'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER READING: A short (and very inexhaustive) list of Autistic advocates and allies no longer with us, who have made a phenomenally constructive difference to the narratives around Autistic and Neurodivergent people, but who never get the recognition of lauded non-Autistic people:   Jim Sinclair Don't mourn for us - Jim Sinclair wrote one of the pivotal texts in the reframing of Autistic experience (opens as a PDF): https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://philosophy.ucsc.edu/SinclairDontMournForUs.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwik86zq-smIAxWCWUEAHQ2NH5UQFnoECCQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3WfDEINrbr2olYTgiO6ZKl A book about Jim: https://amzn.eu/d/3qalj4l   Donna Williams Conceptualised a model of advocacy based on an inside-out approach - that observation based on your own or a normative experience can only take you so far. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Williams She produced a massive number of books: https://uk.jkp.com/collections/author-donna-williams-pid-199891   Mel Baggs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Baggs An old (quality is indicative of its age, so please bear with it) video on two parts that off a deep challenge to normative assumptions around communication and experience: https://youtu.be/JnylM1hI2jc?si=IaPhwkiYn1vRmmlp   Dinah Murray https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinah_Murray Co-creator of the theory of monotropism: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1362361305051398 A basic introduction: https://youtu.be/qUFDAevkd3E?si=SMiSDEoiNcDtV2eg   Steve Silberman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Silberman The author of Neurotribes, a game changing book that brought a model of different, not less into the mainstream: https://amzn.eu/d/clw0AD8     CONTACT US If you have any feedback about the show, ideas for topics or suggestions for neurodiversity champions you'd like us to give a shout out to, you can email: hello@neuroshambles.com FOLLOW US Instagram: www.instagram.com/neuroshambles Facebook: www.facebook.com/Neuroshambles Threads: www.threads.net/@neuroshambles CREDITS The Neuroshambles theme tune was created by Skilsel on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/

In probably his last recorded interview held in May 2024, science journalist Steve Silberman discusses everything autism, from its history to savant syndrome. And he does so with the refreshing clarity, knowledge, and insight that made him one the best informed people about the condition. I regret that Steve did not have a chance to see the podcast before its release as he sadly passed away on 28 August 2024. I hope this will be a lasting tribute to his legacy.

In episode 32, Chris and Emma talked with Sophia Elliott, parent, advocate, and host of the Our Gifted Kids podcast. We covered a wide range of topics in this conversation, from learning about Dąbrowski's theory, neurodiversity, and giftedness to education, policy, and parenting challenges. We also covered storytelling, podcasting, and the value of sharing our personal experiences.Sophia talked about the beauty of positive disintegration as an alternative framework. She described the overexcitabilities as a “gateway drug” that draws people in and said that it's meaningful to go deeper into the theory as a way of understanding ourselves from a non-pathologizing perspective. We talked about Dąbrowski as a forerunner of the neurodiversity movement and his theory as intuitive and forward-thinking. As we have seen clearly in recent years, anxiety and depression are often natural reactions to the world we live in.We discussed giftedness as a neurodivergent way of being in its own right and that its impact goes far beyond the educational setting. Although education is the field that has taken it most seriously, Sophia reminded us of the need to study giftedness in other fields, such as psychology and medicine. General practitioners, pediatricians, and other doctors need a basic understanding of the reality of this experience.There are real challenges to giftedness as well as overexcitability. We discuss how Dąbrowski's views are more aligned with how neurodiversity “ought to be” today—to recognize that all neurodivergent people are whole people and that everyone has strengths and challenges in their lives.We addressed the need for community and finding other people who get it. As podcasters, we know that it's critical to be brave enough to question and share, and we want to encourage others to do the same. The message that came through loud and clear is that we do have an international community, and we support each other.

NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity By Steve Silberman What is autism? A lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things and more—and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years. Going back to the earliest days of autism research, Silberman offers a gripping narrative of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger, the research pioneers who defined the scope of autism in profoundly different ways; he then goes on to explore the game-changing concept of neurodiversity. NeuroTribes considers the idea that neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are not errors of nature or products of the toxic modern world, but the result of natural variations in the human genome.

Our guest is author Paula Morris, who joins us from Auckland to discuss the novel The Godwits Fly (1938) and the life of its author Iris Wilkinson AKA Robin Hyde. In recent years, Iris Wilkinson's writing has been rediscovered and restored to the canon of New Zealand literature, where it occupies a place alongside Katherine Mansfield's; The Godwits Fly is her highly autobiographical novel spanning the years 1910-28. Also this week, John has been captivated by Neurotribes, Steve Silberman's fascinating study of neurodiversity, while Andy revels in the forensic detail of Glenn Frankel's new book Shooting Midnight Cowboy: Art, Sex, Loneliness, Liberation, and the Making of a Dark Classic.

What journey did Steve go on when writing Neurotribes? How was autism first developed? What is the Geek Syndrome? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas Henley is joined by Steve Silberman to talk about the history and future of autism - Steve is a multi-award winning writer, former writer for Wired and Ally Of The Year award winner for his contributions to the autistic community! They start of the podcast talking about two authors Steve had involvement with during the development stages of their books - Alex Riley in A Cure For Darkness & Dara McAnulty in Diary Of A Young Naturalist - and the background to these standout writers. With the daunting reality of COVID-19, Steve highlights the sly endorsements of eugenics during the pandemic, further exploring the affect COVID has had on the autistic people. In a welcome discussion, the two talk about the recent topic of self diagnosis and Steve's recent award... the Samuel Johnson Prize. Steve started his research into autism following a tech giant cruise across the Alaskan Panhandle where he met the renowned Larry Wall, the inventor of the innovative programming language PERL. In an investigative piece ‘The Geek Syndrome' Steve ignored the ramblings of scared parents around the ‘epidemic of autism' in Silicon Valley, pressing on to look at the strengths demonstrated by autistic tech entrepreneurs. Steve became obsessed with autism and its complex history, pouring his heart, soul and money into the formation of Neurotribes. Highlighting the misconceptions around the conceptualisation of Aspergers Syndrome and the little known past of Asperger's Jewish colleagues, the two delve into the developments that may lie in the future. Thank you so much if you've listened through all the episodes; it's been an amazing season and I'm definitely looking forward to bring you an even better season... very soon!

Marcelle Ciampi aus dem US-Bundesstaat Washington arbeitet für das Unternehmen "Ultranauts" und ist gleichzeitig Botschafterin für das Thema Neurodiversität. Das ist ein Begriff, der im Umfeld des Psychiaters Oliver Sacks vom Wissenschaftsjournalisten Steve Silberman in eine Buchveröffentlichung gegossen wurde: Neurotribes. Dieser Begriff wiederum wurde von der US-Amerikanerin Judy Singer zur "Neurodiversität" weitergedacht. Marcelle, selbst auf dem Autismus-Spektrum unterwegs, erklärt, was es damit auf sich hat und wie das "Nicht-Normale" das "Normale" erheblich unterstützen kann, auch in Diversity Management Ansätzen.

It’s our 5th anniversary! And to celebrate, all the episodes this month have silly titles! But the topics we’ll be discussing are anything but silly. More like timely, relevant, and professionally fulfilling. First, we’ll be putting out our hot takes on the updated BACB ethics code. Then we’ll be joined by some special guests, Dr. Evelyn Gould and Tameika Meadows from I Love ABA and Dr. Josh Felver, to talk about acceptance and commitment therapy and its impact on our practice (and ourselves!) during the COVID-19 pandemic, how we can use student perseverative interests to improve learning outcomes, and the research behind utilizing mindfulness curricula in schools. Not all at once of course. That would be a really confusing episode. Wondering if you should get us a gift for our anniversary? Nothing would make us happier than seeing you over at our Patreon page so we can all get together to discuss our March Book Club topic, “Neurotribes”.

In our "History" double-header, we were inspired by Neurotribes, a book we've mentioned a few times in previous episodes, to talk about Nazis (always a fun topic), how an early diagnosis can positively and negatively influences your choices, why diagnosing Albert Einstein with autism is technically impossible, and why perception of autism influences how a person with autism is and could be treated. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We welcome bestselling science writer Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity, to discuss building bridges of understanding between autistic and neurotypical people. Afterwards, we discuss the significance and value of autistic enthusiasms, and we present our first-ever Enthusiasm of the Week! award to fans Latrice and Terrence Hamilton.

Steve Silberman is an award-winning science writer, award-winning book author, public speaker, TED talk speaker, sometime record album producer, and a life-long Mac user. His writing on science, culture, and literature has been collected in a number of major anthologies including The Best American Science Writing of the Year and The Best Business Stories of the Year. Early in his life, Steve fell in love with science fiction, especially the works of Ray Bradbury. Later, he studied under poet Allen Ginsberg and learned about both effective research and the power of language. We chatted about his early writing at Wired and The Well, and that led him to discover the deeper story of autism. The result was a major, influential article at Wired, then his important, award-winning book NeuroTribes .

Steve Silberman hyper-warps into The Marinade. Steve is an award-winning writer. His work has appeared in Wired, The New York Times, the New Yorker, The Financial Times, the Boston Globe, and so many more publications. His book NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity was released in 2015. We talk about Steve's writing, his love of music and friendship with David Crosby, and so much more. You can find all things Steve at stevesilberman.com.

Broadcaster John Offord chats to award winning author, Steve Silberman who was once haunted by the question: Why have rates of autism diagnosis increased so steeply in the past 30 years? To solve that medical mystery for his book, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity, Silberman went back to the first years of autism research, where he uncovered a series of events -- some long forgotten, and others deliberately buried -- that required the history of autism to be rewritten. Neurotribes was awarded the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2015, and has received wide acclaim from both the scientific and the popular press.

In the 2nd episode of the unplanned, unintended "Representation" series, we talk about Autistic representation in media. In this episode, we mention Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes, Rain Man, Parenthood and Max Braverman, Jason Katims, Atypical, The A Word, The Big Bang Theory, Everything's Gonna Be Okay, Julia from Sesame Street, The Golden Girls, The Good Doctor, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, You Can't Ask That, Fresh Off The Boat, The Family Law, and Entrapta from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power. We discuss whether a label is harmful or helpful and how common beliefs about gifted children likely has origins in ASD. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This turned out a little better than I thought it would! This episode gives a general overview of autism. For more information, I suggest the book Neurotribes by Steve Silberman. Also a discussion of my special interests (which I wound up mentioning more than once, whoops), and an announcement for next time. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today’s guest is someone I met through The Gifted Homeschooler Forum for which we both write. Through her experiences and those of her children, she’s become a champion for parents of “quirky children who don’t fit the mold.” Kathleen Humble is an ADHD mom in Melbourne, Australia. She writes at Yellow Readis about gifted and twice-exceptional homeschooling. Her book, Gifted Myths, is available at The Gifted Homeschooler Forum Press. She’s been published in Victorian Writer, The Mighty, and Otherways magazine, and she was the recipient of the 2018 Writers Victoria Write-Ability Fellowship. In between writing and homeschooling her kids, Kathleen loves reading, sewing, and big cups of tea. Show Highlights: As a long-time homeschooling mom of two twice-exceptional children, Kathleen is intensely passionate about helping parents with quirky children who don’t fit into the mold As a twice-exceptional person with ADHD, Kathleen can focus intensely on something to the point of not remembering to do anything else Growing up, she had trouble controlling her passions, but her intensity turned inward as she resorted to reading Being small and good at things made Kathleen an easy target for bullies in school One of the cultural factors that affected her intensity was learning that in Australia, standing out from others is not a great thing that’s not appreciated How intensity became an asset for Kathleen through performance and writing How Kathleen toned down and tuned out her intensity in high school when she deliberately stopped learning How Kathleen observed in school the behaviors that invited bullying Why Kathleen has to work against her intensity all the time How Kathleen learned to do “the pause,” a technique to physically break the intensity How Kathleen loves helping others, answering questions, exploring things, and empowering others How Kathleen harnesses the power of her intensity through “the pause,” medication, and therapy Kathleen’s system of “touch once” to keep track of tasks and remember names The best advice Kathleen ever received: “I’m OK. It’s going to be OK. Being you is OK. Being intense is OK.” Books that Kathleen recommends: Foundation by Isaac Asimov and NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman How Kathleen helps others use their fire for good by writing on her blog and people find the information they need Resources: Find Kathleen: Yellow Readis Facebook: Yellow Readis Twitter: @Yellow Readis Pinterest: Yellow Readis Gifted Myths by Kathleen Humble Foundation by Isaac Asimov NeuroTribes by Stever Silberman

Massor av nya Småplock på lager! Först ut är frågan om "galna genier". Einstein, Dali, Mozart. Många med mig får nog upp bilder av konstnärer och vetenskapsmän i huvudet när vi tänker på galenskap och genialitet. Författaren Steve Silberman lyfter i boken Neurotribes (om autism och synen på annorlunda sätt att fungera) upp flera excentriska fall och bland dem 1700-tals forskaren Henry Cavendish som experimenterade med jordens dragningskraft och mannen som inspirerade till filmen Rainman. Hänger genialitet samman med galenskap? Eller? Terése Österholm pratar med psykolog Bo Hejlskov Elvén om geni, psykiatri och synestesi. Välkomna att reda ut bland de här begreppen i höstens första Småplock!

A neurodivergent friend and a neurotypical friend walk into a podcast… and then discover too late how much important information is in this very long book. If the 500+ page-length scares you, feel free to listen to this ‘Spark Notes’ version. (Content Warning: ABA, shock therapy, eugenics)

In this episode, we talk about why autism can be so hard to recognize, to grasp, to identify, and to accept. We name “four S’s” to consider why it is so discombobulating: Spectrum, Systems, Stigma, and Self. We know each journey is complex and unique, but we you find some recognition or gain some insights as you listen. As always, let us know what’s missing! Show Notes:  Book suggestion: Neurotribes by Steve Silberman. This is a thick and dense read and may be best as an audiobook. See Communities Engaging Autism’s book review here. Click for article: A synopsis of research that shaped understandings of autism in the US (Kanner) and Europe (Asperger and, later, Wing).

Interview with Steve Silberman, 25th April 2019. (32mins). The interview, recorded on 24th April 2019, starts with a friendly exchange around common creative interests and alternative art forms. The conversation then moves to examine a perceived autism culture shift, from the wide systemic damage caused by the medical model of disability and Kanner’s default pathologising, to the ever-present fractiousness in the autism community. Extreme imbalances in research outlay and general ignorance are explored, and finally the growing strengths based perspectives and looking hopefully forward to more harmonious, productive dialogue in the autism community... perhaps as Neurotribes! Steve also makes an exclusive announcement of a new book. Read the full Autism Dialogue UK report at www.autismdialogue.org Steve Silberman is an award-winning investigative reporter and has covered science and cultural affairs for Wired and other national magazines for more than twenty years.
