ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources)

In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience, we delve into various official neurodivergent diagnostic screening tests! So many people begin their autism diagnostic journey by taking a test similar to the AQ-10 test. These questionnaires play a key role for parents, care givers and the large percentage of the population who are yet to understand their neurodivergent brains, to get a diagnosis, but how accurate are these screening tests and are the tools they use to diagnose still fit for purpose? We take three tests that cover autism, ADHD and masking to see how we score and whether we think the screening tools are as accurate in recognising neurodivergent traits as they should be.Follow along and let us know how you scored!Autism: https://embrace-autism.com/aq-10/ADHD: https://embrace-autism.com/asrs-5/#testMasking or Camouflaging: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/#testTakeawaysMimicry can be a tool for learning social skills.Expectations from others can influence how we present ourselves.It's important to find a balance between being authentic and meeting social norms.

In this episode, Jake and Mike sit down with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, clinical psychologist and author of Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety. Together, they dive into the benefits of free speech, the mental health advantages of self-expression, and the dangers of groupthink. Dr. Carmichael introduces nine practical techniques from her book to help manage anxiety, including mindfulness, emotion-based to-do lists, and mental shortlists for redirecting energy. They also examine cultural trends contributing to the overuse and medicalization of anxiety, including the financial incentives driving overdiagnosis and the diminishing role of spirituality in society. Parenting challenges, such as schools shouldering too much responsibility and limited parental involvement, are discussed as factors influencing childhood anxiety.Dr. Carmichael and Jake highlight concerns with the current mental health system, which often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes. They also stress the importance of the cautious use of screening tools to prevent the pathologization of normal experiences. The conversation explores barriers to finding the right therapist, from financial limitations to insurance challenges, and concludes with a deeper look at the intersection of mental health and gun ownership. Topics such as red flag laws, cognitive dissonance in mental health diagnosis, and the shortcomings of research on gun ownership are all addressed.Send us a text

Dr. Mary Barbera guides you through the essential autism screening process by exploring and comparing key assessment tools, including the M-CHAT, ADOS, Vineland, and her own BECA assessment. She'll discuss how each tool functions—whether it's identifying early signs of autism, diagnosing developmental delays, or crafting effective intervention plans. She also shares how the BECA assessment she developed can help provide a comprehensive view of a child's developmental baseline, making it easier to tailor interventions that lead to meaningful progress.

This is the second part of a look at some of the mental health treatment options in 2024. There have been changes since the creation of the podcast in 2015.   For example, in 2015 there were limited telehealth options, no entrepreneurial mental health apps and service providers. No A.I enhanced apps. And mental health services was primarily provided face to face or in a group setting. There have been changes in technology and access to care.   For my overseas listeners, I'm sorry but this one is going to be U.S. centric. There are cultural, governmental and way too many differences in access to treatment.  Please continue to listen and glean from it what you can.   Before I get to that, it helps if you know the terms, vocabulary and some of the science based options for your anxiety.    One of the resources that is accessible is located at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health - Booklets and Fact Sheets. Consider this a starting point in your treatment, so that you have a understanding of what is going on and some, but not all of your treatment options.   If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741. Resources Mentioned:    U.S. National Institute of Mental Health - Booklets and Fact Sheets The documents can be viewed on the website or downloaded as a PDF. There are also Spanish language versions.   Mental Health America page on Screening Tools for Anxiety   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. This therapy is suggested for people that have anxiety, some forms of depression.   In the Anxiety Disorders booklet, there is a section on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. There is a much longer definition I found at the U.S. National Library of Medicine.   If you prefer your information in an audio format, the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists has a self-help section that has recordings about various CBT topics, including dealing with anxiety.  https://www.nacbt.org/cbt-self-help-audio-programs/   Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) therapy the focus is that it routes you into the present tense, along with providing skills to handle problems.   There is a lot of treatment definitions on the Psychology Today website: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Equine Assisted Therapy   Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is for folks that need help in regulating emotions, developing mindfulness skills and help with challenging situations. Harvard Health has a page about DBT.   And Everyday Health has an extensive guide about DBT,   Disclaimer:  Links to other sites are provided for information purposes only and do not constitute endorsements.  Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with questions you may have regarding a medical or mental health disorder.

When workers are recovering from a workplace injury, there are psychosocial factors, mental factors, which can impede the recovery from physical injuries. Things such as a worker's recovery expectations, fear of pushing too hard or performing activities that may restrict the benefits of physical therapy and hamper recovery, or even new negative feeling about their job and perceived injustices over how a supervisor or employer reacted to the injury. Can these “mental” factors prolong recovery and delay a return to productive work?  Guest Vennela Thumula, Ph.D., works at the Workers' Compensation Research Institution – a nonprofit, objective provider of research and analysis – and is the lead author of this year's WCRI report, “Importance of Psychosocial Factors for Physical Therapy Outcomes.” The role of psychosocial factors is increasingly being recognized as a major factor in recovery.  Understanding a clients' mental state – and its impact on recovering – may be just as important as their injury diagnosis when it comes to achieving full compensation and helping them return to a full, productive life. Just because you can't see an injury doesn't mean it isn't there. What you hear on this episode of Workers' Comp Matters may change how you approach each client's individual situation.

In today's episode of Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn, we're joined by Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a researcher and advocate for the metabolic therapy approach to cancer treatment. Our discussion takes a deep dive into the controversial and groundbreaking perspective that cancer, rather than being primarily a genetic disease, is actually a metabolic disease rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction. Throughout the episode, we dissect the conventional understanding of cancer treatment, exploring the radical shift in thinking that Dr. Seyfried proposes – treating cancer by targeting the body's metabolic processes. We also touch on the implications of dietary interventions, like calorie-restricted ketogenic diets and the role of fasting, in managing and potentially reversing cancer.In this episode you'll:Explore the connection between cancer and metabolismUnveil the damaging effects of conventional treatmentsConsider environmental factors that contribute to cancer by damaging mitochondria.Learn about the glucose ketone index calculator, a tool for managing metabolic therapy.Gain insight into how effective stress management supports cancer treatment.Recognize the need to integrate metabolic therapy into standard cancer care.00:05 Introduction and Welcome01:08 Guest Introduction: Dr. Thomas Seyfried02:30 The Role of Fear in Cancer Treatment Decisions04:04 Understanding Cancer's Metabolic Roots10:05 Environmental Factors and Mitochondrial Damage13:47 Case Study: A Dog's Recovery from Cancer Through Diet17:22 Misconceptions about Weight Loss in Cancer Patients21:39 Addressing Parasitic Connections to Cancer24:50 Deconstructing Conventional Oncology Practices29:34 Therapy Strategies: Fasting, Diet, and Stress Management34:15 Critique of Current Cancer Medications and Costs39:42 Imperatives for Change: Education, Screening Tools, and Proper Timing45:10 Dr. Seyfried's Research Journey and Challenges to Established Dogma51:06 The Importance of Diet and Lifestyle in Combating Cancer54:29 Closing Remarks and Upcoming InitiativesDr. Thomas Seyfried is a professor of biology at Boston College, a leading cancer researcher, and the author of "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease." With his research spanning over two decades, Dr. Seyfried's work focuses on the mechanisms by which cancer develops and thrives, specifically looking at energy metabolism in cancer cells. His pioneering efforts have contributed significantly to the growing interest in metabolic therapy for treating cancer, shifting the dialogue from targeting genetic markers to addressing the disease's metabolic roots.To talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/time-to-talkTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Person's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://realhealthmd.kartra.com/page/SmartPersonsGuidetoBreastCancerJoin the Facebook group: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingabreastwdrjennConnect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

Open AI screening tools used in job recruitment processes are potentially excluding highly qualified candidates due to inaccuracies and biases. These tools, which employ AI technology to assess candidates through methods such as body language analysis and CV scanning, have been adopted by many companies with the aim of reducing biases in hiring. However, concerns are growing over their ability to accurately evaluate candidates and prevent qualified individuals from obtaining employment. Feedback is rarely provided to candidates about why they were rejected, further exacerbating the issue. The adoption of industry-wide regulations and guidelines is being advocated to address these problems and ensure fairness in the hiring process. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

Episode 120 is a conversation with Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA). Notably, she is the only BCBA in the entire resident Nigerian population and one of the growing numbers of QBAs in the country. She is the Founder and CEO of Shades of Life Care Limited (SOL), a centre that provides assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies to families with children that have behavioural challenges, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The facility also offers training and supervision services to Behaviour Analysts and Technicians in Nigeria. She holds a Ph.D. in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities from the University of Kent, where her thesis focused on “Screening for Autism and Intellectual Disabilities Amongst the Nigerian Adolescent Population”. Her thesis represents a significant milestone in Nigeria, as this study is the first of its kind in the country and will help support diagnosis and intervention for Autism and other Intellectual Disabilities because it highlights the need to create a more comprehensive screening methodology for Nigerians and Africans that is culturally appropriate.  Continuing Education Units (CEUs): https://cbiconsultants.com/shop BACB: 1.0 Learning  IBAO: 1.0 Cultural QABA: 1.0  DEI Contact: Shades of Life https://shadesoflifecare.com/about-us/ https://www.instagram.com/shadesoflifecare LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eziafakaku-n-4b88a25/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eziafakaku/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/proverbs22v1 Articles Referenced: Nwokolo, E.U., Langdon, P.E. & Murphy, G.H.

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference. Expert Guest: Professor Josephine Barbaro is a Principal Research Fellow and Neurodiversity Affirming Psychologist at the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre, La Trobe University. She is co-founder of Australia's first ‘Early Assessment Clinic' for autism, focusing on children under 3 years old. A/Prof Barbaro's research interests are in the early identification and diagnosis of autism in infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers, family health and well-being following a diagnosis, and Neurodiversity Affirming research and practice. In this interview we will talk about: ✅ What is autism screening/developmental surveillance? ✅ What are some of the early signs of Autism? ✅ How early can we identify and diagnose Autistic kiddos and what's the current average age of diagnosis? ✅ The tools Professor Babaro's developed – SACS (for professionals), ASDetect (for parents), how accurate they are, where they're being used, and how people can access them. ✅ What to do if you suspect a child is Autistic? ✅ How to talk to parents in an affirming and empathic way if you suspect their child might be showing early signs? ✅ What to do if Doctors dismiss parental/carer concerns and say things like, ‘They are just being a boy' or ‘they will grow out of it?'

In a follow-up preview, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell, Mazen Noureddin, Ian Rowe and patient advocate Jeff McIntyre join Roger Green to discuss key presentations and posters of interest at the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). On November 4th-8th in Washington DC, as many as 10,000 attendees will convene in an effort to advance and disseminate the science and practice of hepatology, and to promote liver health and quality patient care. Continuing from the previous conversation, Roger starts by questioning what the right long-term commercial model for remote patient wellness management companies might be. He recalls the early successes of Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem, achieved from selling food and Weight Watchers by branding other companies' white-or black-labled food products. Is there the potential for these companies to marry strong coaching to services offering high-quality, pre-cooked foods for an integrated offering? Jeff agrees and refers to his own experience working with groups on medically-tailored meals. He briefly notes the push he sees to get these meals paid for by Medicare or private insurers. Louise mentions that the kinds of programs described exist at Safari parks as part of a full-wellness program for the animals. From a different perspective, she notes the importance of patient volition in program success and that volitional assessments are not included in trial design. The app Tawazun Health recently launched adds a volitional element. Roger returns to a comment made in the first preview episode.  He had talked about finding improved primary care screening tools that might serve a dual purpose by also educating front-line providers how NAFLD often sits at the core of the galaxy of metabolic diseases. Two abstracts for posters are described that address this issue. The first of which is a meta-analysis of 121,975 patients. This study looked at significance of the odds and hazard ratios of the TyG index, computed based on triglyceride and glucose levels. It also investigated the ability over time for that ratio to predict disease. All results were highly significant and clinically meaningful. The second poster  is titled Performance of Artificial Intelligence Enabled Electrocardiogram and the Prediction of Fatty Liver Disease. This paper showed that an AI analysis of ECG results based on a convolutional neural network produced an area under the curve far superior to FIB-4. It also showed to be superior or equal to BMI and simple metabolic parameters. Roger's general point: using these metrics can improve on FIB-4 while, at the same time, focusing on the links between NAFLD and other metabolic diseases. As the conversation winds down, Mazen and Jörn agree with a few additional comments.

Airbnb says it will use new methods to spot and block people who try to use the short-term rental service to throw a party. The company said it has introduced technology that examines the would-be renter's history on Airbnb, how far they live from the home they want to rent, whether they're renting for a weekday or weekend, and other factors. Airbnb said the screening system that it is rolling out for listings in the United States and Canada has been tested since last October in parts of Australia, where it produced a 35% drop in unauthorized parties. The San Francisco-based company said the technology is designed to prevent a customer's request for reservation from ever reaching the host of the property involved. Airbnb said people blocked from renting an entire home might be able to book a single room because the host is more likely to be around. Airbnb has been under growing pressure to clamp down on parties since 2019, when a Halloween house party in a San Francisco suburb ended with five people dead in a shooting. The following year, Airbnb announced a worldwide party ban at its listings and banned people under 25 from renting an entire house near their home unless they had a record of positive reviews on the site. The party ban was initially cast as a temporary health measure during the pandemic but was made permanent in June. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Disclaimer: If you're worried that you're depressed, see a doctor or a mental health expert right away to get help. It is true that there are a variety of online tools for diagnosing medical and mental health conditions, but they are not always reliable. There are many steps involved in getting a proper diagnosis of depression, and the first step is noticing that you don't feel like yourself. Getting care as soon as possible is preferable to having the patient wait until the signs and symptoms become too noticeable. Resources: 1. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Today's episode is a conversation with Murray Brozinsky, CEO of Conversa Health. Before COVID-19 struck, Conversa was working with big health systems, supplying them with a type of chatbot that kept patients and doctors connected between appointments. Turns out a few well-worded and well-timed questions, even if they're automated, can improve care and reduce costly bouncebacks. When COVID-19 hit, Murray and his team knew they had the technology – and institutional relationships – to really make a difference. They quickly scaled up multiple COVID-specific products using automated chat and have seen massive growth in 2020 as a result. This conversation with Murray is pulled from a recent Expert Office Hour, which was attended virtually by an audience of other founders from the StartUp Health portfolio. We dug into how Conversa was able to stay nimble and grow in spite of uncertainty, and other Health Transformers weigh in with their thoughts as well.

Kevin Marks, MD FAAP is a full-time general pediatrician and part-time pediatric hospitalist at PeaceHealth Medical Group in Eugene, Oregon. He received his bachelor of science degree at the University of Notre Dame, attended medical school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and completed his pediatric residency at the University of California School of Medicine San Francisco-Fresno. He enjoys precepting medical students as a clinical assistant professor at Oregon Health & Science University and heavily encourages his students to use evidence-based screening tools, rather than informal milestone checklists. Dr. Marks has authored numerous journal articles and textbook chapters on the early identification, prevention, treatment and ongoing monitoring of children with developmental and behavioral challenges. He has been a stalwart and enthusiastic “screening champion” in his own medical group, which blazed quality improvement trails by being “early adopters” of multiple screening tools, one of them being the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), and then employed these tools in combination with the Read Out and Read (ROR) program, which promotes early literacy and school readiness. Dr. Marks was a key member behind Oregon’s Assuring Better Child Development (ABCD) leadership team that spread the use of evidence-based screening tools statewide to other primary care practices. He participated in Oregon's Help Me Grow (HMG) project to improve care coordination services for children identified with suspected developmental delays and/or mental health problems. He has been involved in Oregon’s Screening Tools and Referral Training (START) project and is also a health advisor board member for his county’s Head Start program.

Kontext: Dysphagien stellen bei Parkinson-Syndromen einen negativen prognostischen Prädiktor für die verbleibende Überlebenszeit dar. Sie führen zu Aspirationen, Aspirationspneumonien, Malnutrition und Dehydration und schränken die Lebensqualität der Patienten massiv ein. Die aktuelle Studienlage weist darauf hin, dass die durchschnittliche Überlebensdauer von Parkinson-Patienten mit manifester Dysphagie bei ein bis zwei Jahren liegt und (Aspirations-) Pneumonien eine der häufigsten Todesursachen sind. Problem: Dysphagien werden in der Regel zu spät erkannt und eine entsprechende Therapie beginnt zumeist erst bei massiveren Schluckstörungen mit Gesundheitsschäden. Standardmäßige Schluckdiagnostiken zur Profilaxe werden bislang nicht durchgeführt und ausreichend valide Screening-Tools, wie etwa Patientenfragebögen zur Evaluierung von Schluckstörungen bei Parkinson-Patienten, fehlen in der klinischen Praxis. Beitrag: Diese Dissertation stellt den 26-Item-umfassenden Münchener Dysphagie Test – Parkinson’s Disease (MDT-PD) vor, ein Screeningverfahren in Form eines klinischen Patientenfragebogens zur Früherkennung von Schluckstörungen und ihrer Graduierung bei idiopathischem Parkinson-Syndrom (IPS) einschließlich einer bedienerfreundlichen Web- Applikation zur schnellen und örtlich flexiblen Auswertung (Betriebssystemunterstützung: Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android u.a.). Daneben werden zwei Befundungsbögen zur standardisierten klinischen und videoendoskopischen Schluck-Diagnostik vorgestellt, welche klar definierte, ordinale Symptom-Rating-Skalen beinhalten. Methoden/ Validation: Der innerhalb drei Phasen und einem Pre-Test entwickelte Fragebogen wurde in einer Studie mit 82 IPS-Probanden unter Ausschluss von vordiagnostizierter Schluckstörung, Demenz oder chronischer Depression evaluiert (m=46, w=36; Ø Alter ± Standardabweichung: 70,9 J. ± 8,7 J.; Ø Erkrankungsdauer nach Erstdiagnose: 11,0 J. ± 6,3 J.; Ø H&Y: 3,3; Ø UPDRS III: 29,5 P. ± 13,3 P.). Als Vergleichsparameter kamen die neu konzipierten Symptomschweregradskalen innerhalb der standardisierten klinischen sowie videoendoskopischen Dysphagie-Diagnostik zum Einsatz. Die klinische Untersuchung bestand aus einem Ruhe-, Reflex- und Funktionsprüfungs-Part sowie einer Schluckproben-Testung; bei der instrumentellen Diagnostik wurde sich an das FEES®-Protokoll angelehnt, welches parkinsonspezifisch weiterentwickelt wurde: Neben der Erhebung funktioneller Parameter wurde sowohl die Gefahr für/ der Grad der laryngealen Penetration/ Aspiration innerhalb der Schlucktestung abgebildet als auch beginnende Dysphagie-Symptomatiken wie posteriores Bolus-Leaking und pharyngeale Residuen sowie Speichel-Akkumulation berücksichtigt und graduell unterschieden. In der klinischen sowie videoendoskopischen Diagnostik (Durchführungen im On-drug-state) wurde die Nahrungsaufnahme mit folgenden Konsistenzen, quantitativ deckungsgleich und in alltagsrelevanter Menge, geprüft: dünnflüssig (90 ml Wasser, blau eingefärbt), fest (1⁄2 Scheibe Mischbrot mit Rinde und Aufstrich, ≈8x7x1cm) und trocken/ bröselig (1 Keks, Ø 5cm) sowie die Einnahme von zwei Tabletten (teilbare ProLiveVita-Fit-Blocktablette, ≈19x8x7 mm; Placebo-Hepa-Lichtenstein, Ø 8mm). Ergebnisse: Der MDT-PD erfüllt die Testgütekriterien der klassischen Testtheorie. Durch die Receiver-Operating-Characteristics (ROC)-Analyse wurden zwei Cut-Offs für die Gruppengrößen nicht auffällig vs. auffällig (3,65) und nicht auffällig vs. aspirationsgefährdet (4,79) ermittelt. Die Diskriminierungsgüte des (nach den Regressions-Koeffizienten) gewichteten MDT-PD-Summenscores ergibt für die Dysphagie-Einteilungen a) unauffällig vs. auffällig eine Sensitivität (Sens) von 82% sowie eine Spezifität (Spez) von 71% (Kreuzvalidierung: Sens 82%/ Spez 62%/ Cut-off 3,62) und b) nicht auffällig vs. aspirationsgefährdet eine Sensitivität von 90% sowie eine Spezifität von 86% (Kreuzvalidierung: Sens 90%/ Spez 81%/ Cut-off 4,75). Für den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Kriterien-Summenscore und dem gewichteten MDT-PD-Summenscore konnte in den Studiendaten eine starke Korrelation mit einem Spearman-Rho Korrelationskoeffizienten von +0,699 (p
