Autism spectrum disorders once affected 1 in 2000 individuals, now touches the lives of 1 in 50. This remarkable change underscores the urgency to understand this complex neurodevelopmental disorder and the ways it intertwines with the universal journey of parenting.In this episode we explore the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and delve into the broader landscape of parent-child interactions, their profound impact on brain development. Joining us is the esteemed Professor Andrew Whitehouse, who guides us through the intricate science of ASD and the delicate ways that parent-child connections shape the mind, especially in children with autism. He also delves into the essential truth that parenting is not merely an instinctive act but a skill that must be learned, nurtured, and refined. His wisdom extends beyond autism, offering valuable lessons and practical guidance for all parents. Professor Whitehouse emphasizes the importance of time, space, and attention in the parenting process. He shares insightful strategies for creating a nurturing environment, fostering positive interactions, and enhancing both cognitive and emotional development. His wisdom extends beyond autism, offering valuable lessons and practical guidance for all parents, regardless of their child's neurodevelopmental status.We explore how dedicating time to understand a child's unique needs, creating space for growth and exploration, and paying attention to the subtle cues of development can unlock the doors to thriving minds.This inspiring episode is a journey through the science of connection, love, and the incredible potential of the human brain. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply interested in the transformative power of relationships, tune in to discover how to cultivate the art of parenting and shape the minds of the next generation.Professor Andrew Whitehouse is the Angela Wright Bennett Professor of Autism Research at the Telethon Kids Institute and Professor of Autism Research at The University of Western Australia. He is also Director of CliniKids, Research Strategy Director of the Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism (Autism CRC) and Adjunct Professor at Curtin University and Edith Cowan University.

I'm your host Marie and  If you're joining us for the first time: Welcome! The Mastercast is a podcast recommendation show that brings you a brand new non-spoiler binge-worthy review every week of the best podcasts in a short and sweet 2-3 minute summary on everything you could want to know, from the number of hosts to on average how long you can expect each episode to be. New episodes come out every Monday. You can find the week's other reviews on the show's social on Instagram @themastercast and Twitter @mastercastpods. If you like what you hear and want to help out this independent show you can find me on Buy me a coffee by searching The Mastercast. I'd really appreciate it. This week's review is on60-Second Science Okay, let's start off by disclosing that this podcast from Scientific American hasn't had 60 second episodes in some time but they're still very short form at around an average length of six minutes. The slight change hasn't meant much to the listeners of this extremely popular pod that's so far ran for 16 years, debuting in 2006 and maintaining an average star of 4.4 out of 5. With such a span it's no wonder they've published over 3,000 episodes of summaries of the latest research in every subject of science including astronomy, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, mathematics, and so much more. If you want to hear the entire backlog you'll have to check out the show's website as many podcast players only have the last 500 available. It's hosted by a revolving cast of scientific journalists who have included Karen Hopkin, Christopher Intagliata, Jason G. Goldman, and Steve Mirsky. There are fascinating stories, interviews from experts, and the occasional pun. Despite its popularity, a common complaint about the show is that its political opinions make it less objective than it should be. I didn't find it to be unbearable but present. As is often the case, microphone quality improves with time but is lacking in earlier episodes. In the latest episode that was published just before the pod's winter break executive producer Jeffery DelViscio revealed that there will be some changes coming. The show will be getting a new name, podcast art, publishing schedule, and finally resign itself to making slightly longer episodes. There's no word yet when the next episode will be out, but it's promised to be soon. Episodes are meant to stay relatively short, and come out three times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For longer episodes fans can always tune into the company's long-form science podcast Science Talk. Overall a great podcast that lets you stay up to date in science news without a ton of investment. I recommend sneaking in episodes in between some of the multiple episode series you listen to in a day for a little palette cleanser. Try starting with my favorite episodes “Artificial Intelligence Learns to Talk Back to Bigots” and “Coyotes Eat Everything from Fruits to Cats.” Similar pods include Babes of Science, Story Collider, and Transistor. All right, guys, that's all for this week but  remember if you want to see the cover art, sources or the written transcript for this episode be sure to check out the show notes. You can also send us an email at themastercastpodlist@gmail.com. There you can tell us if you have music you would like played on the show or submit a podcast to be recommended. This week's music came from electronic music artist Senrall.  The song featured was “Electric Ocean.” For more from Senrall find them on soundcloud. Links will be in the description as well.

This week's review is onEverything, Everywhere DailyThis U.S podcast is a daily education show from Glassbox Media that gives crash courses on a variety of topics from any given subject including but not limited to history, geography, mathematics, biographies, and technology. It was launched in July of 2020 by its host Gary Arndt, the world traveler, beloved blogger, and photographer. His blog has received mentions and awards from many top journalism organizations such as Time, National Geographic, and the Lowell Thomas Awards. Since its debut it has gained over 10,000,000 downloads with listeners in almost every country. Apple Podcasts has 4.8 out of 5 stars with 393 ratings. Episodes are on average about 12 minutes long and so far there are 911 episodes. Some of my favorites include “Potemkin Villages'' and “The Greatest Buildings Never Built.” There's even a completion club for those who manage to finish the surreal backlog. Despite this brief length the podcast is jam- packed with information and often more thorough than shows five times its length. With so many episodes there's bound to be the rare error but Arndt mentions corrections gracefully when necessary. The show also has an extensive website with every episode broken down by release date, a detailed about page, photography, and coverage of every place he's visited. Theme song is short and the production quality got better with just a little bit of time. It is well-paced and its bite-sized 10 minute tidbits mean it's great for kids who love learning.. Or even the ones who don't. Similar pods: A Thousand Things to Talk About, 60 Second Science, and TEDx ShortsAll right, guys, that's all for this week but  remember if you want to see the cover art, sources or the written transcript for this episode be sure to check out the show notes.
