  Autism can present many challenges to a child's daily life. In particular, it can impact how they engage with society. Your position as a parent/guardian gives you the perfect opportunity to help them overcome these barriers and get the most out of their lives.

On today's podcast, I had the opportunity to learn from Haley Moss. Haley is an author, lawyer, educator, speaker, and is also autistic. In this episode, she shares her perspective on important issues in the autism and neurodivergent community, as we have a conversation surrounding inclusivity in therapy and society.  "Be yourself, but not like that".  It can be extremely exhausting for adults to keep up with behaviors that are seen as typical and don't come naturally to them. Haley compares Neurodivergent social skills to being bilingual. It's not that they don't have social skills, they are just different and no matter what or how they try to make them "alike" neurotypical individuals it will always come out with an "autistic accent".  She emphasizes the importance of teaching the reason behind typical social skills as cultural needs versus them being "better" or "normal". Everything someone does has a reason behind it and tying trust and understanding to that is really helpful. What is Neurodiversity?Neurodiversity is a difference in cognition in which everyone's brain works differently.  Neurotypical brains operate in ways that may be expected in a "normal" manner. Neurodivergent is a scope of operation involving the brain out of the box, outside of what would be "expected" ways to include autism, ADHD, mental health, intellectual disabilities, and acquired disabilities such as traumatic injury or illness. What is Ableism?Haley shares a definition from the Center for Disability Rights, "Ableism is a set of beliefs or practices that devalue and discriminate against people with physical, intellectual, or psychiatric disabilities and often rest on the assumption that people with disabilities need to be fixed in one way or another." Ableism is much more prevalent in society than people realize, especially in the manner of accessibility and that neurodivergent individuals are not given seats at the table for key discussions. Practicing Empathy in Your Therapy SessionsAs professionals, we truly want to help people. One of my goals with this podcast is to help therapists and providers do better by knowing better. Haley shares some of her tips from a neurodivergent perspective on how to be empathic as a provider. Behavior happens for a reason. Behavior can mean so many things, it's important to apply that by taking the whole person into account.Describe individuals' specific high and low support needs. These can evolve over time but when aware of these needs, individuals can advocate for themselves and other services can provide support where possible. I learned so much during this chat with Haley. If you'd like to learn more or connect with her, you can find her on her website and all social media platforms.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:What is ableism?What is neurodivergent?How to be inclusive in your therapy practice.How to practice with empathy.What does true acceptance look like?Autism and social justice.Mentioned In This Episode: Haley MossABA Speech: Home

In this interview, Dr. Kerry Magro, one of the first speakers who is also autistic,  shares his communication journey.  Kerry was non-speaking at 2.5 and received an official autism diagnosis at 4. Despite not speaking in full sentences until 7 and facing a variety of sensory challenges, the support of his loving family and over 15 years of a multitude of therapies helped him overcome many of his barriers. All of these paved the way for his achievement in a degree in sports management before he realized his true passion for disability advocacy and received his Ph.D.  We discuss how, with the right support in place, anyone can find their voice.Kerry describes his early speech behavior as non-speaking versus non-verbal because of the sounds he was making. While they weren't words, these sounds turned into pronunciations and through speech therapy broke ground to start communicating, in any way possible. I work with a lot of students who are not yet spontaneously communicating, and it is always my focus to create budding communication. Kerry describes the two biggest things that helped him grow from non-speaking to a professional speaker were speech therapy and music therapy. When you receive a diagnosis of autism for your child, sharing this information with them can seem scary or overwhelming, especially when a child is young. Kerry shares how his parents told him after a fun game at school where the teacher told him he was special and wanted to know why. His parents told him that he has autism and that it meant he learned differently, but that he was no less of a person than others. While that may seem simple, Kerry says it was life-changing for him as he grew older and began to understand his disability, sit in on IEP meetings, and become an advocate for himself. Leaving the support of the elementary, middle, and high school and moving on to college is quite a transition, whether you're a typical learner or not. Kerry says for him, the best support for him as he entered college was understanding his accommodations, understanding his needs to succeed academically. For him specifically, he needed more time on tests, a private room due to sensory needs, and a note taker due to his dysgraphia.  He is actually working on a book about the transition from high school to college with advice and experience from many autistic voices.As a professional in this field, my goal is always to support my students, but sometimes it can be hard to know what language is preferred. Kerry talks about the importance of letting neurodivergent individuals and self-advocates identify themselves. It's really not up to a professional to dictate the preferred language of someone else. Many are taught to use the label, a person with autism, but Kerry prefers the language, autistic individual.  He also stresses that parents and professionals should stop using functioning labels. The best way to describe your child is to list their strengths and weaknesses. Autism is such a wide spectrum, so person-centered approaches are essential to the autism community. If you've met one autistic individual, you've met one.Be on the lookout for Kerry's contribution to the book Life After the Lockdown: Resetting Perceptions on Autism, just released this September. This fall, he is gearing up for many speeches for National Bullying Prevention Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month, as well as the spring release of his book Autistics on Autism for World Autism Month, in which 100% of the proceeds will go into his scholarship fund. #autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:Dr. Kerry Magro's communication journey.The importance of speech and music therapy.Non-speaking to professional speaker.Telling your child their diagnosis. Autism and transitioning to college.Understanding preferred language and labels.

April is Autism Awareness Month. And now Adam Harris, CEO of As I AM wants to highlight the positives that come with saying "yes" for a change: Too often autistic people face invisible barriers because of how the world works and the judgement and attitudes of others. They are so used to being told ‘No’.  We want people to say ‘Yes’ for a change: Yes to employment, Yes to education and Yes to community inclusion. Adam Harris was born with Aspergers Syndrome, a condition on the high-functioning end of the Autism Spectrum. He considers himself extremely fortunate. He benefitted from early intervention, allowing him to lead an extremely full life today. At least 1 in 65 people in Ireland are autistic and nearly 300,000 people have an immediate family member on the autism spectrum. Adam spoke to Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast all about the new Autism Acceptance campaign: PRESS PLAY FOR FULL CHAT [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/04/08143540/WB-ADAM-HARRIS-AS-I-AM-AUTISM.mp3"][/audio] He founded As I Am in 2014 and it is now one of Ireland's leading Autism charities and advocacy groups. “Say Yes to Autism Acceptance” The “Say Yes to Autism Acceptance” guide includes 10 ways to say yes to Autism Acceptance, which will be available in SuperValu stores throughout World Autism Month in April.

It's World Autism Month! Sandra and Sarah talk about some Autistic rolemodels, and what a good organization that supports the autism community looks like. We tackle the big questions - do we light it up blue? Is it awareness or acceptance? What about the puzzle piece? This Autism Month is unusual to say the least... this year there will be no fundraisers, runs, picnics, or other gatherings. So what can we do to support the greater autism community? You can donate, organize virtual fundraisers, organize virtual parties, write blog posts, make videos, start a podcast, research organizations and find one you want to volunteer at when life resumes. Ways to support Autistic individuals are also easy... Don’t try to change someone who has ASD that isn’t harming anyone by their quirks, stims, or other differences, include Autistic folks, and most importantly - listen to Autistic voices, just ask when you want to know something, or ask if there’s ways to help when we’re struggling. We're in this together, and folks with ASD may need extra assistance or support through these chaotic times. We've included links below for you to check out.

At Consciously Unbiased we believe we are all different; we all belong. Our differences can also be our greatest strengths. Not everyone has strengths that can check a box during the interview process. April is World Autism Month. In this special episode of Breaking the Bias, Director of Content Holly Corbett interviewed different voices who advocate for neurodiversity, which is the idea that neurological differences, such as autism, dyslexia and ADHD, are a natural variation in the human population, and that neurodiverse people bring unique strengths to the workplace and the world. With approximately 1% of the global population on the autism spectrum alone, for example, companies who ignore this talent pool are missing out. There are benefits to hiring people with cognitive differences. There is strength in building teams where everyone doesn’t think the same, and some neurodiverse people may excel in areas such as pattern recognition and attention to detail as compared with neurotypical people. That’s why many companies—including SAP, EY, and Microsoft—are revising their HR programs to attract and retain neurodiverse talent. In this episode you’ll hear from Dr. Stephen Shore, who was diagnosed with autism as a child and recommended to be institutionalized. Today Dr. Shore is a professor at Adelphi University and travels the world speaking to audiences about self-advocacy for those on the spectrum. He is also the author of more than five books. You'll also hear from Hiren Shukla, founder of EY’s NeuroDiversity Center of Excellence; Gena Mann, co-founder of Wolf + Friends, an app that is like a meet-up for the parents of kids with special needs, as well as other voices.

It’s World Autism Month! In honor of all of our neurodiverse loved ones, Thomas shares a story of a dharma teaching from his brother, Joseph, who is on the autistic spectrum. Join us in this episode for a practice inspired by one of the many superpowers that people with autism have to offer to the world. Also, if you have any leads on helping Joseph make new and meaningful connections, please email us at info@mindfulnessplus.org.

The Joel Natalie Show recognized World Autism Month on Tuesday, We were joined by local experts Dr. Maureen Barber Carey of the Barber National Institute, and Tish Bartlett, Executive Director of the Autism Society of NWPA. Then the mother of an adult with autism, Karen Groshek shared her story.

I learned about Autism After 18, this month's charity spotlight, through a local networking group, Business Leaders of Charlotte (BLOC). Brett Metcalf discussed BLOC and then Margaret Neelson, a chairperson from Autism After 18, explained their mission of unlocking life’s potential for adults with autism. Her son has autism and she had a vision of creating a support network where he could make friends and learn life skills. That vision has certainly come to fruition over the past few years and they have a big vision of creating chapters across the country. To learn more about BLOC, visit www.businessleadersofcharlotte.com or attend their next after hours event Wed, Feb 27 at 5:30pm at Slate Billiards. To learn more about Autism After 18, visit https://autismafter18.org/ or email Margaret at mneelsen@autismafter18.org. They host regular events for adults with autism and their next fundraising event "Dollar for a Scholar" in support of World Autism Month in April (details will be posted online by the end of March).
