We all dream of having happy children that we can say, “Put on your shoes!  It’s time to get in the car and go to school!” and they just do it.  But when you have a child on the spectrum with a communication delay or disorder, it can seem like an impossible dream.  Even worse you hear horror stories about children who were taught to be compliant so the didn’t know how to protect themselves from other’s ill wishes.  It’s a nightmare.  None of us wants children who are just blindly compliant.  The question is, can you teach children, even those on the spectrum, to comply with appropriate requests while teaching them how to have boundaries to keep themselves safe.  The answer is YES, but it doesn’t happen overnight, so we should all get started.  Autism Live host Shannon Penrod shares her top tips for teaching compliance the right way, so they feel empowered to say, No! as well as saying Yes!

We have an urgent appointment with his psychiatrist on Tuesday but I wanted to hear from other parents and experts. He has abruptly begun exploding violently with siblings over such offenses as “she was whining!” (he spit in 5 y/o sisters food when my back was turned and justified it because she was whining.) I hear a thud and ‘ow’ from 3 year old in the other room. “He was going too slow on the stairs!” (He hit him into the wall.) I don’t know what to do. I am terrified that he will seriously injure a siblings. All I can think of is the next time this happens we go to the hospital because I don’t know what else to do. please help me 18:48 We are dealing with aggression. If my son is told “no” or can not do what he wants when he wants he tells us “you don’t love me anymore? I”m going to leave and not come back.” How do we curb this? Not to mention he does throw things and hits but not all the time. 31:14 Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit PSA Sponsored by Shapiro Legal Group 33:10 Is autism and ADHD Related? 36:29 Can sensory issues can increase with age? 37:59 Is there a good trick to start pronouncing words more distinctly?

He’s also a terrible eater and never tells me when he’s hungry other than my assumption when he pushes me towards a chair and tries lifting my shirt. I don’t really know where to begin to wean him because I don’t know what he understands and I know he uses it for comfort. He wakes up several times a night to nurse and switch sides which means I’m awake too and getting angry that I’m not getting sleep. What do I do? Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

Hour 26 of The Autism Network Podcastathon   Shannon Penrod and Nancy Alspaugh- Jackson give a Wyart update and interview the makers of the documentary film, Beyond.   #Autism #Beyond #Documentary BEYOND follows Tamara Mark, a once rising Broadway/Hollywood star, to a full-time single mother of two nonverbal autistic adults, Ian and Harry. She now fights for her dream to build a community for those alike to live better and safer.   Filmmaker Thiago Dadalt and Autism Advocates Tamara Mark and Marc Olson will answer questions live – in studio.   FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/beyond.filmdoc Instagram: www.instagram.com/beyond.doc Movie website: www.docbeyond.com Production: www.dellenmillerproductions.com Beyond Ranch Foundation: www.beyondranchfoundation.org   Tamara was one of 8 chosen to star in the film that Mr. Poitier had searched the country for and had auditioned 7,500 people. This life altering opportunity, led her to moving to Los Angeles, where she continued to study and work as an actress in many TV shows, film, voice-over and commercials.   The tragic and sudden death of Peggy Furey, her mentor and acting coach, shifted her perspective on her purpose in life. Tamara left show business for a time and sought deeply within to find what brought a deeper meaning to her life.   After travels through South America and India, she returned to Los Angeles, where she met the man who became her husband and father of her two children. When Ian and Harry were diagnosed with autism, her focus became entirely them and a search to heal, help, and care for them. When the marriage fell apart, Tamara raised these two boys, now young men, entirely on her own.   During the pandemic, she reconnected with a friend she had known in high school. Marc had moved to Australia over 40 years ago and after the passing of his wife, his kids convinced him to go on Facebook, where the two of them found one another. Over two years they video messaged until travel opened up again and he and Tamara finally got to meet physically. Their love story has proven to be the catalyst for all the beauty unfolding and the passion together to build a purposeful future for Ian and Harry and others like them.   It is an epic tale of love against all odds.   MARC OLSON is the Co-Founder, Treasurer, and serves on the Board of Directors for Beyond Ranch Foundation. Marc Olson is a dual citizen of both the United States and Australia. Marc has resided in Australia for the last 43 years of his life. He held many jobs in his early years in Australia, from sugar cane farm worker, fruit picker, island resort kitchenhand and barperson to abattoir worker in the cattle industry where he decided to return to university to study accounting. Upon completion of his studies Marc gained employment as an accountant in the Sugar Industry where he worked for 15 years holding senior accounting positions. Moving on to becoming the State Accountant for WIN Television media company for 11 years, the last 3 years also holding the position of State Head Office – Station Manager as well as the State Accounting function.   The last 7 years of his working career he held the position of Chief Financial Officer for a civil construction group of companies. After the passing of his wife of 35 years marriage, urged by his children to reconnect to the world via Facebook (which he loathed), he reconnected with Tamara Mark, an old high school friend. It soon became apparent that Tamara had the love, strength, and resilience that held the future for him.   After almost 2 years of old school dating via video messenger and a country locked down in COVID protocols where he wasn’t even allowed to leave the country, they physically reunited in Pasadena, CA. Their loving union is now focused on a future for Tamara’s sons Ian and Harry and the severe autistic communities across the world. Marc and Tamara have a strong vision for the future of this population that currently has no future for long term care solutions.

Hour 3 of The Autism Network Podcastathon Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh shares essential information about anxiety, particularly as it relates to autism.  Viewer questions are encouraged. Autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh gives the definitive talk about anxiety as it relates to autism.  Anxiety has a great deal to do with a person’s ability to cope, learn, and grow.  Masking the anxiety is not always the answer.  Listen as Dr. Doreen talks about successful ways to treat, and overcome the debilitating side of anxiety, so we can productively get back to learning and living. Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh has dedicated over forty years to helping individuals with autism lead healthy, productive lives. She is licensed as a psychologist in California, Texas, Virginia, Oregon, Colorado, Michigan and Arizona and holds a Certificate of Professional Qualification in Psychology from the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards. She is a doctoral level Board Certified Behavior Analyst and is licensed as a behavior analyst in Arizona, New York, Nevada, Louisiana and Virginia. Dr. Granpeesheh began her studies in autism as an undergraduate at UCLA earning a bachelor’s degree in 1984, and a Master’s degree in psychology in 1987, followed by a Ph.D. in psychology from UCLA in 1990. While completing her degrees, Dr. Granpeesheh worked with Dr. Ivar Lovaas on the groundbreaking outcome study published in 1987 which showed a recovery rate of close to 50% among the study’s research participants. Dr. Granpeesheh built on Dr. Lovaas’s work, developing the CARD Model, which is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treating autism. In 1990, Dr. Granpeesheh founded the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, also known as CARD.  Under Dr. Granpeesheh’s 30 years of leadership, CARD became one of the world’s largest providers of ABA-based treatment for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. With over 260 locations throughout the United States and internationally, CARD employed over 6,000 highly skilled professionals, and was a leading employer of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) providing behavioral treatment to thousands of families worldwide. CARD’s highly regarded behavior management and skill acquisition programs were the culmination of decades of research in the field of autism treatment. As part of the nation’s third largest non-governmental organization contributing to autism research, CARD researchers published groundbreaking studies that contributed significantly to the field of autism treatment research. In 2011, Dr. Granpeesheh founded Autism Research Group, a nonprofit organization whose mission was to identify and conduct treatment research that improves the quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. To increase access to evidence-based treatment, Dr. Granpeesheh founded Skills™, an innovative web-based platform that optimizes treatment programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder.  Skills™ provides comprehensive assessment and curriculum, positive support planning for challenging behavior, progress tracking, and treatment evaluation.  and enables healthcare professionals, teachers, parents, and/or caregivers to design and manage comprehensive, individualized treatment programs for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder as well as tracking progress in real time by collecting and uploading data electronically. From 1990 to 2019, as CARD’s CEO and chief clinician, Dr. Granpeesheh developed extensive state-of-the-art training programs for CARD’s clinical employees, parents and caregivers, and school personnel.  As demand for CARD training programs increased, Dr. Granpeesheh established the Institute for Behavioral Training which provides web-based and in-person training programs targeting the specific training needs of school districts, parents and caregivers, physicians, and autism treatment providers. Dr. Granpeesheh has been a member of numerous scientific and advisory boards including the US Autism and Asperger’s Association, The Autism File Journal, Autism 360-Medigenesis, the 4-A Healing Foundation and the Defeat Autism Now coalition.  In addition, Dr. Granpeesheh has served on the National Board of Directors of the Autism Society of America (ASA), the practice board of The Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) as well as the Autism Human Rights and Discrimination Initiative Steering Committee, the Early Intervention Taskforce of the Senate Select Committee on Autism and Related Disorders and the Oversight Committee of the Department of Developmental Disabilities. In 2008, Dr. Granpeesheh produced and co-directed the documentary “Recovered: Journeys through the Autism Spectrum and Back”, a film about 4 children diagnosed with Autism who, after three years of intensive intervention, recovered and now lead productive and healthy lives. This documentary received significant recognition including “Best Documentary” in the Director’s Chair Film Festival, official selection in the Victoria Independent Film Festival and special recognition in the ReelHeART International Film Festival of Toronto. As one of the foremost experts in autism diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Granpeesheh has appeared on numerous TV shows including Dr. Phil, the Doctors, Fox and Friends and other notable news segments to shed light on and answer questions regarding autism. In August 2009, her research entitled “Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Records in 38 Cases of Recovery from Autism” was published in the Annals of Clinical Psychiatry, showing that recovery from autism is possible with early, intensive intervention using ABA. This study echoed the results of Dr. Lovaas’s earlier study and garnered Dr. Granpeesheh the prestigious George Winokur Clinical Research Award. In 2014, Dr. Granpeesheh co-authored the book Evidence-Based Treatment for Children with Autism, a comprehensive description of the model of treatment she developed over her 30 years of leadership at CARD. She has also authored over 50 peer reviewed publications on subjects concerning the diagnosis and treatment of Autism. In 2015, Dr. Granpeesheh co-authored a series of 4 articles that were published in the prestigious journal Pediatrics. These articles were the culmination of work from several think tanks concerning the early diagnosis and treatment of autism and continue to define the guiding principles of therapeutic process for medical and psychological professionals today. Dr. Granpeesheh is co-founder of The Autism Media Network which hosts “Autism Live”, the number one video podcast in the field of autism education. Since 2012, Dr. Granpeesheh has broadcast the “Dr. Doreen Show” on Autism Live, a weekly interactive web show providing support, resources, information, facts, entertainment, and inspiration to parents, teachers, and practitioners who work with individuals on the autism spectrum.

In 2022, Autism Media Network launched “Stories from the Spectrum” the first show to be entirely produced, directed by and featuring individuals on the spectrum of autism. In 2020, Dr. Granpeesheh retired as CEO of CARD and continues to contribute to the autism community as founding member and president of Autism Care Today (ACT), a nonprofit organization that she co-founded in 2005.

How can I help my middle schooler that gets relentlessly teased by classmates. The school knows and is trying their best and has a strict bullying policy. It's mostly verbal, some throwing snow in his face and laughing. He is such a target! Sometimes he can handle it, but other times he gets so upset it leads to throwing chairs and desks. He walks away, tries comebacks, self talk to boost confidence, anything to reduce the size of his target, but it's getting worse. What else can he try or can I help him with? Better coping skills? 27:26 Happy new year to my favorite duo. It’s Taren from Louisiana again (w/3.5 yr old) I’m wondering if all autistic individuals struggle with academics? My boy is still in a full time ABA program and will be for as long as I can keep him there, but wondering for the future. Is school harder for our kids? Thanks guys! 33:47 How do you know when your child needs monthly B12 Shots? 35:27 I am nervous as all be. i am planning on going to a Santa performers conference/convention i'm Gatlinburg in April. i am nervous because one this event happens every 2 years., and i will most likely be the only on the spectrum. i never went to an in person conference before. my mom and stepdad are worried since they cant come to the convention center with me. I didn't register yet due to this. i need advice from Dr. Doreen and Shannon on this. this might help others on going to comic cons and similar things. 40:49 Dr. Doreen, my 10 yr old son was just reevaluated (as required by our insurance) and we were just given an added diagnosis of Dysgraphia, and ADD. My concern is with the Dysgraphia. The doctor said it is in his processing, mentally, and that hand writing and technical aids are just one piece. It is a cause of his comprehension issues. Everything I search talks about that only. We are waiting for the complete report. We had a face to face to review the results, and will have the written report next week. What do you recommend? Who are we supposed to see? Therapy, support? 47:51 Hi my 3 years old son starts to pee in the potty 100% whenever I bring him to the bathroom. However, he doesn't say "I want to poop or I want to pee" (need to improve his communication skills). Should I need to wait until his communication is getting better? or is it okay to start to the potty training? 49:13 Potty Training Advice I started to potty train a child at the age between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 till now the child is going to be 5 later on this year and it is off and on. ​I have done everything I can and it is being destory:( 52:21 Mixed Receptive Expressive Disorder I was wondering if expressive language comes after receptive one. My son receptive language is exploding. 54:38 I think I found a doc I want to use via telehealth from Taca. No medmaps locally, and our local pediatrician hasn't been helpful at all.

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is discussing and answering viewer questions about tantrums and more LIVE! Tune in and check it out! Recording December 13, 2022   8:03 Help!  How do I deal with my son’s tantrums.  I feel like no matter what I do it is wrong, in someone’s eyes.  I am terrified to go out anymore because I am afraid he will have a tantrum and I won’t be able to know what to do.   17:17 During tantrums/meltdowns I get so emotional and overwhelmed and freeze , calming myself first is big thing for me   32:26 Age Appropriate Toys here is a question i want to ask. its not for me but i am curious about it. for example a kids special interest is paw patrol and its all over the Christmas list. and the therapist or another person says he needs a new age appropriate interest and there was no paw patrol under the tree. i heard about a similar story with Shannon. i would like to hear that story and how to handle a situation like that. I'm asking out of curiosity and helping other people.   41:38 My son gets upset and curses at teachers at school hello, my son 12 yrs old. When upset at school and sometimes home will curse at the teachers or aide. sometimes he will hit and always apologize right after, they have been trying to teach him what he can say or do when he's upset, he becomes mad when he cant have something or when he has to do something he does not want to do, he once said to the aid I'm going to kill you when he was mad.   47:03 My 11 Year Old Tantrums Every Time we are in Traffic. Good morning. My 11 year old son is extremely bright, has friends, hobbies and participates in sports. Our problem is when we are in the car and we get stuck in traffic he has a meltdown of crying, yelling, hyperventilating, and internalizing the situation. He'll say what did I do to deserve this? It looks like a panic attack. We have tried a car bag with books, fidgits, iPad, but he won't touch it. He will ask over and over to find out how long the wait will be, but sometimes we don't have cell service. It's like he needs information, but even if we know he still doesn't settle down. What can we do? Traffic is a part of life. Thank you   52:58 Help Controlling the No Reason Laugh   55:17 Feeling Overwhelmed with New School and Resources in a New City. Last month I moved to a new city seeking more resources and better school. We also started seeing a Maps doc and I’m so thankful for everything but I’m so overwhelmed how do moms do this.   1:00:22 Coming up on Autism Live!   #Tantrums #Autism #Parenting Autism Network Website TikTok: @AskDrDoreen Instagram: @AskDrDoreen Autism Network Website  Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

He is nonverbal, classified as intellectually disabled, and severely autistic. He is a very sweet little boy, and I love him very much. He needs a lot of special care and is emotionally and mentally more like a very young two year old. He goes to autistic specialized preschool and absolutely loves it. I am having some difficulty with recent behaviors and the school isn’t really helping with ideas. He likes scripting from YouTube videos. Mostly nursery rhymes and songs with alphabet and numbers. The scripting in itself is not a problem. The main problem is that he does not control the volume of his voice at all, and he will script literally nonstop day and night. Most children when they wake at night would become bored and go back to sleep, but he is perfectly happy to entertain himself for several hours on end. Does anybody have any suggestions how to help him understand there is times he cannot do these behaviors or at least to do them quietly? Given his limitations simply requesting he be quiet or does not work, and only pauses his action for about three seconds. I am a single mom and I lack social support. I have also explored every resource in the area, and there are not a ton. I am utilizing what is available, but I need more help.   54:57 He loves cords and shoelaces his gone through so many shoe laces I’ve had to buy so many because he pulls on them or puts them on his mouth I don’t know what to do he reaches every where I put them.   58:05 I've requested accommodations at the school without result. Without the diagnosis of deaf they will not accommodate.

Please I need some help, my 12 yr old son took a knife from the kitchen and was standing looking at me, when I went close to him to take it away he said I’m sorry. What happened before all this was that he was upset because every Sunday we let him pick a place to go to, park, restaurant, mall, etc and he also gets to eat fries which is his favorite, we’ll the night before I checked his history on his tablet and found cartoons that he knows he can’t watch became these cartoons show very inappropriate behaviors like beating people up and cursing, I have blocked the page so many times but somehow he manages to find it, so I took his phone and table away, that was the beginning of everything the next morning which is Sunday he kept asking for his tablet I said you can’t use it yet, so he then started screaming, yelling and saying things like I want you to die mom, I’m leaving the house and never coming back and proceeded to get dressed and try to go out, I stopped him and he then started screaming more, I told him that we were not going out that Sunday because of his behavior and I say on the couch that’s when I heard him in the kitchen getting something and I told him to come to the living room, that’s when I saw he had the knife in his hands, he said he was sorry and he didn’t want to go to jail, I told him what he did was very bad, he proceeded to scream and cry. He has a psychiatrist he sees once a month, he’s on Sertraline 25mg 1x a day. I’m so devastated don’t know what to do. I’m also scared don’t know if he would attempt to hurt me, normally he’s always saying he loves me and wants hugs from me. Don’t know what to do please give me some advice. Normally he’s loving kid. Lately he hass been defiant, he curses and just want to do what he wants, but I never seen him do this before, I’m so devastated, don’t know what to think, say or do.   29:48 Helpful Tips for Unwanted Dietitian Visits I am going to a dietitian tomorrow and me and dietitians don't mix. I can’t stand when people try to change my eating habits. I’m going for medically controlled weight loss, and it’s needed by my whole medical team, but I am afraid of lashing out or if I get told I can’t eat my favorite things anymore I might have negative behavior. I know they are doing it for my own good, but I don't like being controlled. I don't wait to embarrass my mom and stepdad. please help me.   38:42 How do you feel about older children watching younger programs? We’re big believers that we must try to keep our child moving forward. As autistics tend to be immature as they grow up.   43:33 Do you have any advice on the Nemechek protocol?   45:24 What to do When the School Takes Away Your Child’s Biggest Reinforcer I’m working on this with the school right now, Quinton likes to use his hand drawings as reinforcements. He had one bad day, where he lost one of them, and he went a little extreme. That day they said no more pictures without giving him an alternate type of random reinforcement, they tried to say absolutely no pictures, it was a punishment, everyone in his circle disagreed with With a School said they wanted to do. I’ve been taking a lot of data; this happened a week ago last Friday.   46:47 I need tips on how to address a BCBA who is overworked. I have the most amazing RBT but the BCBA isn’t giving enough attention to my sons programming. She is assigning goals but not being specific, so it leaves the RBT to interpret how the goal should be run instead of her modeling. During supervision little to no feedback is given even when we are looking at her for direction. Help!

We have tried everything: toy incentives, discussing it w/ him, different seats/set ups, taking breaks. He can wait days so we can't just wait him out. He sits on the potty with iPad for a long time w/o going. What else can we try? We think he has "irrational" anxieties that r hard to put in words.   28:20 Hi Shannon and Dr Granpeesheh. I am a parent of an autistic 5-year-old boy. I have joined many Facebook groups for parents of autistic kids, mainly for support and just to know I'm not going through this alone. There is one topic that seems to come up from time to time on these groups, and that is the term 'Einstein syndrome '. Many parents seem to think their kids fall into this category possibly because the prognosis is more favorable than that of autism. I would like to find out if 'Einstein syndrome ' is a recognized diagnosis and more importantly if Dr Granpeesheh believes it's a real condition.   39:14 All Ghouls Gala Invitation   43:33 Shapiro Legal Group Tylenol PSA   46:29 Bathroom Problems When he goes he hides in another room or a corner.

He is constantly attacking us and destroying my home. He responds to nothing. The only peace I have is when he sleeps. I’m terrified for the life of my eleven-month-old child.

My son only eats pizza, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, cheez-its, fruit, peanut butter and jelly and cheese. This is really it. We try and give him different foods we even hide it in foods. He just wont eat it. He has sensory issues and is starting a feeding therapist. The problem I have is that I am about ready to give up cooking. I waste so much food and my left overs go in trash. It is hard to make meals for just two people when only I eat. how can I get him to explore more foods? He also helps cook the meals in kitchen and he loves this a lot but when he has to eat it. He doesn't. HELP! 19:07 Persistent Diarrhea My 3 year old is nonspeaking, diagnosed Autism.  We have started ABA but he has constant diarrhea which interrupts therapy.  I hear you talking about diet but when I asked my BCBA about starting the gluten free diet, he told me there is no science behind it.  Now I am confused.  Should we try the diet?  Am I with a bad ABA provider? 26:31 Class Action Lawsuit Announcement Sponsored by Shapiro Legal Group 29:38 Has My Son's ABA Team Been Successful? Hi Dr. Doreen & Shannon. I love your show & so glad to have found y’all. I’d like to ask Dr. Doreen if she’d consider my sons ABA treatment so far successful. He started at 2 yrs 10 months and he is almost 6 months in. He has mastered about 75 programs. Started with a few single words and now speaks in 2-3 word phrase. No problem behaviors to report. Partially potty trained. I look forward to hearing from you all. Thank you so much!!! 30:53 My 9 Year Old is Struggling to Make Friends My 9 yr old son will be starting 4th grade next week. We are still struggling making friends and asking to play properly. For example, we were at the shore last week and 2 boys were playing in the ocean. He wanted to play, and I told him go ask. He said "hi, this is my mom Johanny. Her phone number is ....) the kid looked so confused. I stepped in and said he wants to play with you. Didn't go well. I worry this is happening at school too. Can we get the school to support him during recess or lunch. I wish I was a fly on the wall to see what is happening, so I can figure out how to help. Suggestions? TIA and thanks for all that you both do 3 43:14 Clostridia left his brain completely unbalanced, is this reversable?

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions! Tune in and check it out! Recorded Live 10am PT August 9th, 2022 #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #autismpodcast   5:13 Helping to Learn Conversational Speech Skills My son is almost 4 years old, at 2 he got diagnosed with autism. We've been doing speech therapy and ABA for a year but I don't see much improvement. He is able to talk but his speech is not clear.   9:42 My problem is a 3.5 yr old minimally verbal for whom I cannot seem to find any kinds of reinforcers.  He runs from one thing to another, climbs on furniture, throws things around, breaks stuff,  doesn't stop even long enough to show interest in anything new for more than a few seconds, or favored previously.  I've tried snacks, sips of Cola (which he loves), new toys, he doesn't like to be touched so no tickles and much more. If I can get his attention to notice something, the minute I show interest, he abandons it.  It's as if he knows I'm trying to 'bribe' him.     I'm at my wits end so any advice?   20:33 My son is 16 on aripriprazole has been for 3 years. How long do we keep on medication.   23:58 My son w/ ASD will be 5 in Oct. He's progressed from single words at 3rd bday to talking in complete sentences- even complex (e.g., "and, if, so, because, but, while" etc. many times a day).   30:10 What about when ABA is just sitting at a desk for hours! What could I ask my ABA provider to do so he isn’t just sitting at a table?   32:40 My developmental pediatrician made referrals for multiple services ABA, music therapy, OT, Speech therapy and so forth but the problem we are facing is that the insurance has a waiting list and the we have to wait to provide services. I am almost positive that we may have to pay all his services out of pocket. Do you have any information where we don’t have to wait or pay out of pocket?   36:55 Potty Training: Teaching the Importance of Wiping My son whines and demands to wash his hands after a BM. Despite knowing what to do about wiping himself; He is adamant to not do it and just directly wash his hands after a BM. I am at a lost on how to make him understand that wiping himself is needed. Thank you in advance.   38:05 Question for both Dr. Doreen and Shannon: What are the common things in autism success stories?

Today, Dr. Doreen answers questions about Speech, ABA, Haircuts and much more! Tune in and check it out! Recorded Live 10am PT August 2nd, 2022 #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #autismpodcast   3:49 Is increase in babbling after intensive ABA therapy is a good or bad thing? I want to update and ask you some questions. My son right now, 3 years 6 months old. Has been in ABA since 3 years old, first 20 hours per week and we increasing per month. Right now, he is in ABA therapy for 50 hours per week (in 3 different centers in Jakarta) and 2 hours per week sensory integration and occupational therapy. After very intensive ABA this 1 month, he increasing eye contact, tacting, labelling, manding, some intraverbals (answering questions). But, still very little spontaneous sentence or comment, and not yet conversational sentence. He is also increasing in babbling, random speech (not functional and also functional words). My questions, what can we expect from the therapy? Can very lot of ABA therapy cause overdose? Is increase in babbling (between functional words) after intensive ABA therapy is a good or bad things? How long does intensive ABA therapy will last? What outcome we can see in the upcoming months or years? Right now he still in minimal verbal stimming (can ABA therapy reduced or minimize/disappear the verbal stimming?) (My son can interact like hugging, kissing, say good bye, kiss bye, he is a sweet and cheerful, playful boy)   18:56 what is a good behavior token economy. we started a summer challenge photograph the alpha bet. hope it motivates our support staff your thoughts   20:05 How do we get our son to sit through a hair cut, he’s almost 8. It’s getting tougher every time.   32:21 Do you have any kids that have gone through the stem cell therapy option? what were their outcomes?   35:12 What is the best way to plan a birthday party for an autistic individual? I have heard horror stories of parents planning birthday parties and nobody shows up or rsvps. some have called police officers to show up. some have had to use social media campaigns. etc. what is the best way to plan a birthday party for an autistic individual?   43:18 My son can seem to get good ABA he will start and then the BI will quit or move it’s been so hard, Also they just sit him at a desk the whole time so my son feels like he is back at school.   50:25 Self Injurious Behavior (Banging Hands on Hard Surfaces) I wrote in a few weeks ago for Dr. Doreen regarding my son’s self injurious stimming. Shannon asked me to email her but I haven’t had the chance, we were in crisis mode. We’ve tried all types of replacements but nothing is working. He bangs his hand,wrist and knuckles and is causing swelling and bruises. It’s not attention seeking. He likes how it feels when he bangs, He does it when there are no demands. He does it when he’s alone, I’ve had to buy him a glove to protect his hand, wrist, knuckles. He’s happy when he bangs, He’s laughing and playing while he’s doing it, He does it in all settings and places.   https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? https://www.instagram.com/askdrdoreen/   Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

Ask Dr. Doreen – Elopement – ABA Therapy – Obsessive Counting   Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions! Tune in and check it out! Tune in on Facebook, YouTube or Twitter Tuesdays at 10am PT to join us LIVE! Recorded Live 10am PT July 26th, 2022 #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #autismpodcast   5:02 I am in desperate need of some advice or direction.  (Elopement) My 5-year-old eloped this morning and the rental office in which I live brought him back I assuming.  I was in the bathroom freshening up for the day when I came out to knocking on the door.  My son was in the living room, and we were waiting for the maintenance man to fix our AC that has been broken for 2.5 days now.  I opened the door thinking it was them to fix the AC, but it was not, it was the office lady telling me they found my boy down around the corner.    As of right now, my nerves are shot.  I have done everything I could think of to prevent any of this to happen.  I am horrified that CPS and the authorities were called and that I may have been reported.  IS there anything that could happen as to having my son removed?  I am literally sick to my stomach, throwing up and stomach cramps and headaches.  This nightmare I want it to be over but do not know what is going to happen at this moment.   UPDATE:  We bought a lock with a key lock.  MY nerves are still on edge this morning. Monday July 26th 2022 that I still in my mind think he still can get out.  I know he cannot get out, there is no way he can.   20:12 what way can we provide auditory stimulation to a child who is continuously clapping, stamping feet, and hitting object to teeth.   27:10 What can be happening when a child stares for moments many times during the day. Done an EEG and it came out normal and whenever i touched her she is able to react. But I would like to know what it could be.   28:46 Can you please break down how I should teach my child at home? We use play therapy in Canada, and I feel like play should be part of the therapy not all. Can a child pronunciation improve with time?   38:32 For a 20-month-old is it home therapy better than clinic-based therapy?   44:16 here is a personal question. my aunt and uncle were supposed to come in today but due to a mishap in her medication her and my uncle aren't able to come. me and this particular uncle have a very deep relationship and we haven't seen each other in a year and a half due to them moving to North Carolina. I'm handling it surprisingly well, but I'm afraid in the next few days i might have a huge meltdown when it hits in fully. help me and my family.   48:55 Obsessive Counting Plenty of others deserve time but I will put this thought/question out. A verbal-stim/script behavior pattern is occurring frequently now & impairing/preventing interaction. My 5yr ASD son has taken to CONSTANTLY without stopping 30-40min. COUNTING. 100s/1000s even is OK. but he jumps into sequences of millions, billions, trillions, Google and zillion. onto creating his own. Recently he went from prep-time for out-the-door to reach summer school constant counting going through breakfast, teeth, socks, shoes, into car, trip to summer school, arrive @ school, and without stopping as he went into open area (alone). This is impairing and will make learning in a classroom not possible; and not acceptable.   55:16 Obsessive Counting Cont'd A good thing? Why would it turn on a go for 30-40min? Whisper it silently in the playground alone .. and a home. / Hmm. interesting thoughts my son is super smart about math ^ measurement, time etc...   1:02:26 Coming up on the show this week!   https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? https://www.instagram.com/askdrdoreen/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWSL-fAgvt3qo5yGwP4SUUQ   Shannon Penrod's book is out now!

When We provide him he toilet paper He just toss this in the toilet but does not clean himself. When we do hand over hand is the only time He clean himself. What to do to make him understand that is important to clean himself after a BM? Thank you in advance. 09:04 Responding from Another Room My son, 13, is doing all kinds of new things! He used to not answer us if he was in another room. Recently he has been answering us from another room but not extremely loud enough for us to hear him. I want to ask his new BCBA to write a goal for this. Any thoughts and ideas on this? 11:32 How can I help get Rid of a Script? How can i help get rid of a script my so. picked up . its a violent phrase? it was something he heard from a show clip. he says it randomly. 16:14 My son who is 5 years old and he keeps talking about poop. My son who is 5 years old and he keeps talking about poop. We ignore it and it goes away but right back at it. 19:46 here is a question for both of you. I’m volunteering at mu churches VBS and have to wear A inflatable koala suit. the problem is, is that children freak me out. what can I do to do good with this opportunity? 24:29 How do we teach parents how to spot “bad” ABA and as BCBAs, get more “good/great” ABA out in the world? 31:31 Hi Shannon and Dr. Doreen. Sometimes I find myself in conflict between putting too much pressure on my son, with his intervention demands, and just "accepting him the way he is". Is there a balance? 40:27 Hi there, my Son is 20 years old and when he gets frustrated ( I think it’s that) he starts pounding his chest, and I can’t seem to redirect him at that moment cause he’s upset obviously, how can I help him to get away from this type of behavior, thank you so much. 42:55 Potty Training hi Shannon and Dr. Doreen.. My son always jumps and run here and there before going for potty. I tried so much to make him sit on the toilet seat and go for potty. can you suggest anything? 43:44 There was a post this morning about a SLP who told a mom that ABA was like a “cult”. Glass walls, no parents aloud. I’ve had a BCBA that told me there was no data behind diet. 45:12 My question is for Dr Doreen. I recently hired ABA Consultant and instead of assessing my daughter he was flirting with the teachers. After 2hrs of observations he charged me 500pounds& send me 1 page. I live in London and I am really disappointed with the services or lack of service. He also sent me email insisting that he wants to train my daughter's teachers. I informed him I want you to train me He wants to train the teachers instead. Many thanks. 47:20 I have dyspraxia, ADHD and Asperger’s traits . Have you heard of this combination?

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions about behavior challenges, resources for adults on the autism spectrum, ABA and more! Tune in and check it out! 4:45 I'm looking for some help I'm a single mom raising a four-year-old on the Spectrum 5:30 Good morning, I need help finding living accommodations for my 28-year-old son 6:24 Hi there!! My son is 4 and he can comment and answer questions. But still can’t ask questions. He engages with adults. But doesn’t accept kids at all. He blacks out the kids doesn’t respond to them. I tried pairing his cousins but didn’t work. I tried all the ways to bring peer play. Now I’m thinking of stopping the ABA and try bio medical to facilitate peer play/engagement 15:34 I'm looking for some help I'm a single mom raising a four-year-old on the Spectrum. I feel as if i am suffocating I don’t have a big family, no support, I need to find peace. for example, I have anger issues and I'm afraid of disciplining Colton because I don't want to get to upset. I also am a recovering Alex I have PTSD so I have a severe panic disorder already please help me with what I can do or where I can reach out so that I don't have this ball of anxiety going on around me all the time because it sponges off onto my son. My biggest question is about CBD T and tinctures. 23:38 I am Zara from London with two children on spectrum. My son is two and he squeezes things and my hands 27:17 I’m asking as I fought for my son to get an IEE and services missed. I got an advocate as well as attorney and we were offered 2 years at a private school designed for kids on the spectrum. 33:19 Hi Dr. Doreen, our 9 yr old son who is not affected my autism very much, but he still needs assistance. He was discharged from ABA, Speech, and OT, but as a SkillsGlobal user, he still needs help. Can we hire an RBT and do Telehealth with a Card provider? We’re in Pennsylvania, and the closest CARD center is over an hour away in NJ. 36:40 My son with med/high-function ASD has a wealth of words & comprehension .. bottle it is often bottled up -- until something he is fixated on fills his thoughts. .. Hence, when he achieves things & reads or creates with crafts- WE BECOME VERY CONGRATULATORY & high with praise . Mistake #1 - our response can be TOO dramatic & 'not normal' - BOOM, TOO MUCH STIMULATION & A IMMEDIATE MELTDOWN, ANGER . and suddenly everything shuts down for 40min - and is started to become angry, shrieking, and "starting" to become aggressive-physical PROBLEM #1 - remain silent & neutral, somewhat punitive WITHOUT projecting no-care & 'Mom-Dad' are not a safe place now. .. HARD-HARD because our 'almost 5yr' can unravel on a dime. 43:03 Good morning, I need help finding living accommodations for my 28-year-old son (California) 45:28 Hello ladies. My son tends to throw toys when he gets angry.when i place a demand or say no to something hes getting mad and throwing. Im trying different ways to stop it. As its increasing.

6:15 Hi from Australia. Up late with my son on the spectrum that refuses to sleep at night. Help He is 11 and nonverbal 16:49 we are try to work on elopement issues with my little. for some reason separation anxiety is very high . he has eloped with his support person while i am at work thank fully he only made it out the door and was caught before he made it to our drive way. 4 x last month scary 25:04 My 4.5 yo ASD son is making progress (esp. cog., lang.), but still struggles w attention. He often gets stuck in his own mind (thinking about things or whispering under his breath)& doesn't tune in. When he does tune in, he can answer questions (including some how and why) and do simple math/reading and talks mostly in full sentences with decent grammar. He doesn't really stim (other than a little vocal stimming), so I think he needs this “in his head” time to decompress. But he also needs attention for school. Will this improve in time? How do I help? I think he may have some slow processing speed, but the reason I don't think that is all of it is sometimes he answers pretty quick, and other times (when he's tuned out) its VERY slow (or not at all) 40:31 Do you recommend taking a break from therapy? Aiden has been in therapies. We’re taking a break from OT. Aiden seems to be more frustrated lately. I don’t want to take a break from ABA or speech. Since OT is only 30 minutes I feel like the therapist just wants to get things done Definitely not enough high reinforcement 47:45 There are children’s hospitals that do this now. It’s called “episodes of care”. I hate it. They force families to take breaks. 52:42 My son was diagnosed with Social Communication Disorders (SCD) at 2 years old and after that we begin therapy: sensory integration, speech therapy, occupational therapy, floor time, behavior therapy (not ABA), playgroup with shadow teacher (only 2 months). He can mention words, animal, vegetable, fruit (tach) at 2 years 9 months old. But, since he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at 2 years 10 months old, we start begin with ABA therapy at 3 years old. For starter, 20 hours a week (home ABA), now we increase to 30 hours a week but with the different center ABA therapy (ABA verbal behavior) and we plan to increase the hours by joining the third center (in Jakarta there is a maximum hours per week therapy in one single center). Now at 3 years 3 months, he can mention more functional words, tach, and mand (he want milk, he want his mom accompany him, he want to sleep etc., not so much). No aggressive or challenging behavior problems. He is a sweet boy who can hug his dad or mom or grandpa, know his name and how old is he. Also, ABA therapy has increase his eye contact. We also done biomedical therapy: antifungal for his yeast overgrowth, planning diet, and MB12 shots. My questions are: is it right to join 3 centers therapy (one in home service ABA, and two in the centers with ABA/VB directed by BCBA) and what is your opinion about ABLLS and ABA/verbal behavior because the centers use these two methods for assessment and therapy? And last, the pediatrician gives my son risperidone (little dose daily) although he not shows any challenging or aggressive behavior, is it right? 57:01 Whenever I try to bring up medication, I feel like I get judged by doctors. What are your thoughts on adding vitamin b12, b6 to his diet? will this help? My child has been doing ABA for about 3 years now. He is 6 years old. He says BAH and papa which is great and I encourage him. But I wonder if medication can help him focus and encourage speech. 1:03:15 On the show this week #AskDrDoreen #Autism #AutismPodcast https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen?

Now at 3 years 3 months, he can mention more functional words, tach, and mand (he want milk, he want his mom accompany him, he want to sleep etc., not so much). No aggressive or challenging behavior problems. He is a sweet boy who can hug his dad or mom or grandpa, know his name and how old is he. Also, ABA therapy has increase his eye contact. We also done biomedical therapy: antifungal for his yeast overgrowth, planning diet, and MB12 shots. My questions are: is it right to join 3 centers therapy (one in home service ABA, and two in the centers with ABA/VB directed by BCBA) and what is your opinion about ABLLS and ABA/verbal behavior because the centers use these two methods for assessment and therapy? And last, the pediatrician gives my son risperidone (little dose daily) although he not shows any challenging or aggressive behavior, is it right? 57:01 Whenever I try to bring up medication, I feel like I get judged by doctors. What are your thoughts on adding vitamin b12, b6 to his diet? will this help? My child has been doing ABA for about 3 years now. He is 6 years old. He says BAH and papa which is great and I encourage him. But I wonder if medication can help him focus and encourage speech. 1:03:15 On the show this week #AskDrDoreen #Autism #AutismPodcast https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen?

In this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen, Shannon Penrod and Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh discuss questions written in by viewers about ABA therapy, Stimming, Speech and more! Check it out!   5:49 My son has HPHPA bacteria, and my family doctor and his pediatrician refused to prescribe antibiotic. Why? because I did a second OAT with Great Plains Lab. What do I do? My son regressed into autism 12:30 Hi Doreen, my son is 4-year-old and attends center-based ABA Therapy for about 34 hours per week. It's been a year since he started, but he still stims a lot like flapping hands, spinning, jumping, verbal stim. He also got Speech apraxia I just want to know how my son will responds to the therapy in coming years, with the experience you have as you have seen so many kids, I am very worried about him, as I feel some time he is progressing and sometimes he is regressing with his stimming behaviors. 23:00 Self-Stimulatory Behavior 25:16 Our 4.5yr boy has advanced far ... as a update & hope for many. He started with Early Intervention ... OT, PT, Aba ( home & PreK ), and Speech Therapy have allowed him to blossom... He MAY be considered twice-exceptional now .. BUT falls very short with social growth AND yes - VERBAL STIMMING and focus issues will make 5yr kindergarten a BIG challenge. ANY INPUT? 35:57 I’m TERRIFIED of sending my son to kindergarten. I kept him back this year to do one more year of full time Aba. They don’t allow ABA or 1 on 1 aides here. I’m just terrified 38:39 Hi Dr. Doreen, my twins will be 3 years in June. They recently got their VB Mapp Assessment done and they are on level 2 (incomplete) and some splinter skills complete in level 3 I.e. reading & math Also tasting is complete of level 3. Our BCBA warns us that some kids get stuck at level 2. Is that true? What can we do now to avoid getting stuck? 42:09 Would AIT help with verbal stimming? 46:44 My son starts to run around nonstop with vocal stemming in Costco I don’t know what it is if it’s the bright lights or noises and if I hold his hands, he gets angry. It only happens in Costco no other stores I’ve tried noise canceling headphones and sunglasses, but I haven’t figured out what it is. 49:33 We need assistance in getting my son ABA therapy. Our insurance covers it but the deductible and the out-of-pocket quotes make the weekly fees exorbitant. Is there an advocate we can engage to assist us in getting these costs reduced based on our income or a grant we can apply for to assist? He is 11. We have been doing biomedical but the school he attends believes it will assist him in his academics. It is the best school we have been to and he does have trouble communicating still. He is fine for me at home. He understands my directions and even can do some home tasks at home and without any direction at all; he self directs. At school is another matter. They tell me he is not a behavioral issue at all, just having trouble with the verbal communication piece. Any assistance or guidance in tackling this hurdle would be great. 51:42 hi, i am from india...using skils and loving it...just wanted to know what does a typical day in 25-40 hour aba look like for a verbal child, level 3 vbmapp.. 5years age... 57:31 My son is pushing other kids and his preschool reduced his attendance to just one hour and I am not motivated to take him there. Do you think I am wrong? a specialized school. that cannot deal with a 4-year-old. He wants to play but he doesn't know how. 1:00:40 This week on Autism Live Pre-Order the book written by the host of Autism Live, Shannon Penrod! https://www.amazon.com/Autism-Parent-Sanity-Saving-Spectrum/dp/1949177858 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/autism-live/id827968203 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/autismlivepodcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0TXbDFs8cLP0UQbNVqHThf?si=VbEfw4_oRjqJY3vK2pgmFg IHeartRadio.com https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-autism-live-51537613/ Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Autism-Live-Podcast/B08JJN7B28?qid=1611965289&sr=1-1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=M68PFW27AP000G4N9CCJ Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/search/autism%20live

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions about aggression, potty training, uncontrollable laughter and more! Watch Ask Dr. Doreen LIVE Tuesday's at 10am PT!  #AutismExpert #Autism #AutismPodcast https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? 7:57 I want to ask this question: Please can the group tell me, after you have had a diagnosis. Why have I been told by family friends and partners, your normal. You don’t have Autism? 14:02 Hi Dr. Doreen. What services are out there when your child has graduated from ABA, is getting bigger (12 years old) and still displays aggressive behaviors? How do we keep him and everyone else safe? 27:03 Hi Doreen My son attends center based ABA it's been a year he has started, but we still has got problem with his stimming and lack of Independent play, I can't control his stim. obsession with fans. 37:25 I was thinking about doing a respite exchange program for single parents. Because gosh, it is HARD when you don’t/can’t qualify for respite. I have 3 special needs kids and new to the state of TX with ZERO help. 39:04 I have a question concerning couples on the spectrum. If one individual recognizes that they’re on the spectrum, And is figuring out their own triggers and corks, but the other individual does not acknowledge this is sudden realization, and continues to treat and converse with the other individual as if there is no processing issue when it comes to emotion. Issues like tone, not hearing exactly what the other person is saying, or internalizing what they’re saying .. I.e. imposter syndrome, or goes catatonic during high pressure debates, is becoming an extreme issue. 44:10 Hi Doren, My son is 4 years old, he has phases of 6-7 uncontrollable laughter everyday ? Is it sugar or something else? 48:12 Hi Shannon. What do u think it’s mora helpful ABA or SON RISE? Specifically, To deal with an aggressive child. 51:35 Hello, just going to put a warning that this is going to be TMI and a little bit gross, I hope it’s okay. I am 19F and I have a twin brother who is autistic and non verbal. My mother is his primary career, and I moved back home last year to help her out as my brother has gotten older and bigger than her which can sometimes be difficult for her. From us being young children to around 16, my brother was perfectly using the toilet by himself, for pooping and peeing. Just to add, he also really likes the sound of flushing and coldness of the toilet seat surface, so he often flushes the toilet just to hear the sound and he might sit on it fully clothed whilst playing games which is not really an issue. Around 16, he started pooping on the floor in the bathroom instead of the toilet. Initially we thought he was constipated and struggling to go so my mum started looking closely at his toileting routine and took him to the GP and everything was said to be fine. After a week or so of doing this we tried having him sit on the toilet (as in watching him about to go and telling him verbally to sit down) which resulted in massive meltdowns including self harming. He also stopped wiping himself with tissue afterwards. This was three years ago and since then it gotten considerably worse especially as my mum was afraid of him hurting himself if we made him sit on the toilet. He is now 19 and now poops on the floor anywhere in the house when we’re not looking, and occasionally will pee on carpet etc. Most recently my mother had some friends over, and she assumed my brother was in his room watching TV or drawing. A guest got up to go to the kitchen for some water and my brother had left a particularly liquid-y surprise for us on the kitchen floor.

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions about ABA and How to find good ABA, taking medication & more! Tune in and check it out!   5:40 My sister [35F] is leaving her husband and is upset. I want to help, but I am autistic. What things should I [28M] try to do to help her feel better? I'm also a hikikomori/agoraphobic/social recluse, which makes things harder. She's staying with me and our parents with her two sons at the moment. [8M] and [4M]. She was with her husband [38M] for about 19 years, and they got married about 10 years ago. No-one's told me the details on why she's leaving him, but she's told our parents. They understand these things more, I think, and would give way better advice than I could since I haven't had a girlfriend before. All I know is that 'He did something silly' and that they've struggled in their marriage for the past few months. Today I made pasta as dinner for me and her. I've also looked after her kids at points in the past two days! I'm not sure if her kids have been told what's going on, but the oldest one isn't stupid and must know something isn't right. I guess I am asking for general advice on how to help, but how I should react to things. I am sad because I have known him most of my life, and we regularly have spoken about computer games we've been playing. Does this mean I should remove him as a friend on PlayStation Network? How should I help my sister in ways I probably haven't thought of? 13:26 hi Dr. doreen here is a question. my mom broke her wrist on Wednesday and my stepdad has had to take a leave of absence due to it. I don’t feel like I’m doing a good job coping with this. i am caring more about my routines like jersey mikes on Tuesdays. I need help handling this better. this is causing my family a lot of hassle. please help me be a better son and to do better let me add on. my stepdad is also helping me a lot as well. and he is one of those people that doesn’t get autism in general. he is a southern person who believes in rules. I want to help him as well. please help my family. also, with my sister in college and doing her externship soon sucks. plus, her diagnosis of bipolar 1 I’m also afraid that she will go manic again. sorry for the bother. 21:08 What are some questions to ask when looking for a good ABA provider? 27:58 How do we find out what providers are only interested in what is best for our child and doing things in a “fair” way. 33:33 What is ABA? 39:51 My 4.5 y.o. speaks mostly in 4-7 word sent., can answer many intraverbal questions (including many how & why), & has a good albeit still delayed vocab. But he still struggles to have conversations. When is a reasonable expectation for when he could converse? He just wants to talk about his interests, which is fine, but I also want to have a conversation someday. Oh, he asks lots of different questions to us too (although that only happened in the past few months). It's trouble sustaining back and forth. 48:20 What’s the best way to get my son from using a sippy cup? He’s two years old and three months 49:37 My 3 yr. old is not feeling well at all he has had a horrible runny nose and a wet cough now for 2 days ...he just looks miserable and I haven’t been able to help him .....just checked his temperature and it says 100.6 ...i just can’t get him to swallow any type of medicine ...and its making me so sad ....he only drinks water and milk so I’ve tried mixing medicine in there but he notice it so he won’t take it ...he doesn't eat apple sauce or yogurt so i cant mix it in there ... he has an appointment tomorrow at 9 but i just wish i can get him to take medicine....how do u guys do it when your kids r sick and dont like medicine. 59:07 This week on Autism Live 1:02:28 Dr. Doreen are you seeing kids right now?

In this segment of Ask Dr. Doreen, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, BCBA-D Phd, discusses autism diagnosis, Hyperlexia, Trauma and more! Don't miss it! 6:56 Does it Get Better? I’ve never posted but it’s getting so hard for me to deal with my son. I guess I’m just here to vent..sorry its so long and jumbled together. My son is 4 years old and we have an evaluation scheduled for Thursday with our developmental pediatrician. I know he is autistic but am hoping we get an actual diagnosis. He has a few stims that he does when he is excited or mad, he gets frustrated so easily and has meltdowns, he avoids eye contact, he likes to smash his face into us when he’s mad, he has trouble with transitions, he is verbal but doesn’t communicate.. I could go on. Does it get better? Will he speak in complete sentences? How do I exist w/o being miserable? Will we ever be able to do things as a family, like going to a pumpkin patch, going to an indoor play area, meeting Santa, etc? (We went to a pumpkin patch recently and omg it was horrible) Will he ever understand birthdays or Christmas? I feel so much guilt for not being happy with the children I have. I often wonder if this is karma. Or that maybe I was never supposed to have kids. (I went through 4 rounds of IVF for my son) I feel like the depression is ruining everything - my marriage, my connection with my kids (because lately I’ve just wanted to walk away rather than keep trying to engage) and my life. It’s hard to make friends as I am just triggered when I see their neurotypical children. My 2 special needs kids are not really interested in each other and it breaks my heart. This is not what I pictured. I have siblings and am very close with them. I guess my heart just breaks every day and I grieve the life that I know we will not have. Thanks for listening. I really hope things get better because I don’t know how to do this 10 years down the road. 25:05 Autism is neurodiversity then why it is treated as behavior problem? 33:21 I have a very specific question. Every allergy season my son gets super sick and he doesn’t know how to blow his nose, any tips? 36:43 Hi Dr Doreen, what is the correlation hyperlexia and autism? Is it a predictor of functioning level? 39:14 When my daughter was diagnosed with mild autism the therapist said her language delay was due to the autism and had nothing to do with cognitive impairment. He also said that she would catch up to her peers and I shouldn’t worry about it too much since her case is pretty mild. He did however recommend ABA therapy. When I was having the assessment interview with the ABA therapist she recommended 40 hours a week which is way higher than I assumed my daughter would need (since she has such a mild case), and she also said my daughter is at the level expected of an 18 month old. My daughter is 2.5. I really wasn’t expecting this. I know my daughter is behind but to hear that she’s like an 18 month old was jarring and I’m worried now that my daughter will have struggles beyond the challenges she’ll face being autistic. I guess I just don’t understand the huge discrepancies between the two therapists and now I’m freaked out. Does this mean she has a cognitive or intellectual impairment as well as autism? 41:58 The mind does not switch off, so sometimes the alcohol sometimes switches off the brain. People sometimes don’t understand the strength of the brain with Autism. I don’t wish to say to much but I know lots of things that I have learnt. But what I find is that most, don’t understand how my brain is running at 1000 miles an hour from waking to sleep and sometimes in sleep because of the day. I can watch one thing and never forget it. Unless I suppress it. I also work like a computer with a data bank of information I can recall if needed. 47:06 Any advice on how to stop licking my child started this behavior licking their hand and wiping the saliva over their face the behavior started with a series of colds and now continues although well. Likes to use wet wash cloth as well if not licking. 55:16 Son refuses to go in bath tub. He is not afraid of water. ABA does water protocol. He is afraid of tub . Where do I start. He is so traumatized from last bath which we had to wash hair.

In this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen, our hosts Shannon Penrod and Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh answer viewer questions! You can also Check us out Later wherever you get your podcast! 5:04 Autism & Dealing with Neighbors For some context, I live in a basement apartment with my husband and our dog who as well as being a service animal, loves kids and is very mild-mannered. We have been having issues with our upstairs neighbors since November in regards to loud stomping, furniture being slammed, and loud screaming. I have been up to talk to them about it several times and last night I reached my breaking point. I went upstairs to ask them to please stop stomping as my husband works early mornings and was trying to sleep for work. When she opened the door I could see that the small two-bedroom apartment had no less than six adults and four kids inside of it. I calmly asked them to stop the stomping and since this is the third time I have had to ask in the last four months, the next time it got this bad I would be lodging a complaint with the property management company. My neighbor had a friend over who has a 3-year-old who is on the spectrum and was the one stomping the hardest and causing the most amount of noise. Her friend gets a sour look on her face and started chirping at me from across the room. Friend: You live in a basement apartment and he has autism, what the hell do you expect me to do there is going to be some noise. Me: Ok, I get that I live in the basement but stomping until picture frames fall off my walls is a different story. please help me 20:08 What Happens to My Child After I Die? Support for adult autistic patient who is stable, living with parent at home. He ia motivated to go to his work on MWF by bus, gets up, dresses, eats breakfast, gets bus by himself. Does household chores and hits all expectations in a timely manner. Socializes well with adults and enjoys cultural activities. Problem: what happens when parent passes? How can we make plans for him (now 59 yoa) in the case of losing his single parent (79 yoa). What preparations can be made? How can he be prepared for the loss of his dad? He does not want to live by himself. So. What can we do to prepare him for another situation? 37:58 Hello Shannon, Dr. Doreen! Thank you for always trying to help us! My son is 4+ non verbal, regressed around 20 months and attends ABA at CARD San Antonio. From your previous advice about getting a stool test done to check if there is a yeast overgrowth to rule out yeast as the reason for my son's no-reason laughing spells. We got a comprehensive stool study ordered by a functional med Dr and there was no yeast issues in the results. But some issues with mal-absorption for which a specific strain of probiotics (L Reuteri) with vit D has been prescribed. After a week of using them, he has diarrhea, earlier he had hard stools. should we hold on to the probiotics or continue even with the diarrhea? PS. he is still on the GFCFSF , reduced sugars diet 41:14 Hi I want to ask Dr. Grandpeesheh about my son qho was diagnosed with autism at 31 months. We live in South Africa. My son never responded to his name, he would spin himself around, he lined up toys and would play with them in strange ways. My son would be distracted by the smallest sounds and would hate weird textures on his hands. He would also hate to be hugged and only had 2 words by the age of 3. My son just turned 5 and now I'm starting to question his diagnosis. He has been in aba therapy, speech and OT for 2 years. Now at 5 he loves going to the playground and playing with other kids. My son always manages to find a friend. His speech is still delayed but I can have a conversation with him and I feel he will soon catch up to his peers. My son has never had a meltdown. He loves playing with dough an sand now. Doesn't seem to have sensitivity to sounds anymore and loves hugging his mom and I. He is completely different now. I just don't understand it. He is in mainstream and his teachers say he is a pleasure to have in class and he is super confident when answering questions. Do you feel he might have been misdiagnosed? 49:49 What do goals look like for older kids? We stopped at 9 because I felt like I had a handle on it.

Check out a never before seen episode of Ask Dr. Doreen! In this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen, our host answer questions that came in last week that were not able to be answered! Questions about potty training, in-home therapy, false/exaggerated memories and more! Don't miss it! https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? #AutismPodcast #AutismExpert #AutismSpectrumDisorder 4:36 I have a 3 yr old. He has bad gut health, has to make food changes & move towards veggies which he hates. How can I introduce veggies w/out a smoothie option? He has major yeast belly Any suggestions? 13:42 I have a job interview coming up soon how do I mask so that I seem normal so people can't tell something off with me??? Please 23:40 Special needs guy (35m) has crush me (20m) and won’t leave me alone When I started the job back in August I would push carts in the parking lot and even then he would stick to me like glue. I now work as a cashier in the store but he still hangs around me even helping me by bagging people’s stuff even though I didn’t ask him to. At first I didn’t mind him and was nice to him but now he thinks we’re best friends and follows me to my car when leaving. Every time we see each other around he always says hi even if we literally just did this 30 seconds prior. He always tells me to pull my mask down so he can see my face and asks to hang out outside of work. What really makes me uncomfortable now is that sometimes when saying bye to each other he says “I love you” quietly but I can still hear him, and he tries to go for physical contact. I even spot him watching me when I’m in my car on my break. I try ignoring him but I can’t really do that when he’s breathing down my neck. I don’t know if I should be direct with him and tell him to leave me alone cause I’m not sure if I’ll get written up/fired for being mean to him cause it has happened here before, but I don’t know the details. I really wish I was never nice to him in the first place cause I kinda brought this upon myself. I also don’t know what kind of disability he has. 34:22 I know you have previously addressed proper wiping for an 8 year old, but I have an 8th grader that still does not do it correctly. We have tried many reward systems, but it's just a matter of time before they stop working. He understands how and when we talk about it he just says he is being lazy. He is in regular ed with friends and afterschool activities. I can smell it as soon as he gets home. I'm scared he will be teased and cannot believe he hasn't already! He also struggles with other areas of personal hygiene (teeth and showering). He will go weeks without brushing his teeth (says it's 'unnecessary" and throws tantrums on shower day. Again, have tried rewarding him after completion. Why are these tasks so difficult for him? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! PS.. he has a typically developing younger and older brothers that model proper hygiene for him. How do we make him care? 38:58 I feel SO bad about this... should I though? So, my son gets in home therapy and he actually really loves it. However, a while back I had to tell the main lady at the office that one woman really wasn't working out. she was really a cool person, but she wasn't actually doing anything with my son but sitting there and playing on her phone. so i said it wasn't working... nbd. Now, though... he has three that come over and he loves them, they play with him, we've seen great strides in many aspects of his life... well... they just included a 4th person and to be quite frank, she's rude and disrespectful to my whole household. 48:50 My son is 9 yes old autistic , lately he has been acting different, sexually, he acts out physically grinding , at first I thought he was exploring , but now he seems to call names , he  says  nasty words, and he wants me to kiss him or he push his my head down. I am not married at this time and no man is coming to my house for him to see this behavior. He his visits his dad (everyday), I asked dad if he has any thing to say about that and he said, no he wouldn’t see any thing like that. I am so confused to is this normal or should I be concerned. 54:10 Good morning, my almost 11 year old has high functioning ASD. One of our biggest challenges is his false/exaggerated memories of events. They are always negative, never positive. For example, we will bring him to basketball (which he loves and always excited to go) and he will report how awful practice was and how much he hates it, and we "make him do things he hates" but then 2 days later he is back to being excited to go to practice and runs inside. He does this for most activities.

I also don’t know what kind of disability he has. 34:22 I know you have previously addressed proper wiping for an 8 year old, but I have an 8th grader that still does not do it correctly. We have tried many reward systems, but it's just a matter of time before they stop working. He understands how and when we talk about it he just says he is being lazy. He is in regular ed with friends and afterschool activities. I can smell it as soon as he gets home. I'm scared he will be teased and cannot believe he hasn't already! He also struggles with other areas of personal hygiene (teeth and showering). He will go weeks without brushing his teeth (says it's 'unnecessary" and throws tantrums on shower day. Again, have tried rewarding him after completion. Why are these tasks so difficult for him? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! PS.. he has a typically developing younger and older brothers that model proper hygiene for him. How do we make him care? 38:58 I feel SO bad about this... should I though? So, my son gets in home therapy and he actually really loves it. However, a while back I had to tell the main lady at the office that one woman really wasn't working out. she was really a cool person, but she wasn't actually doing anything with my son but sitting there and playing on her phone. so i said it wasn't working... nbd. Now, though... he has three that come over and he loves them, they play with him, we've seen great strides in many aspects of his life... well... they just included a 4th person and to be quite frank, she's rude and disrespectful to my whole household. 48:50 My son is 9 yes old autistic , lately he has been acting different, sexually, he acts out physically grinding , at first I thought he was exploring , but now he seems to call names , he  says  nasty words, and he wants me to kiss him or he push his my head down. I am not married at this time and no man is coming to my house for him to see this behavior. He his visits his dad (everyday), I asked dad if he has any thing to say about that and he said, no he wouldn’t see any thing like that. I am so confused to is this normal or should I be concerned. 54:10 Good morning, my almost 11 year old has high functioning ASD. One of our biggest challenges is his false/exaggerated memories of events. They are always negative, never positive. For example, we will bring him to basketball (which he loves and always excited to go) and he will report how awful practice was and how much he hates it, and we "make him do things he hates" but then 2 days later he is back to being excited to go to practice and runs inside. He does this for most activities.

He draws the toilets and knows the different brands. When we sometimes don’t let him go more then once he’ll get mad and say I’m still going to use the bathroom, or if I go use it by myself what happens, he says it in a threatening kind of way.

Schools ends at 3pm and my kid is so tired by that time. Moreover, my kid goes to a public school and I don’t know how much they work with him. It’s like a black hole. 9:29 My daughter is seven and autistic, partially verbal. During high stress situations she goes mute. Anyway, she went to my sister’s house all happy on Friday. It was a whole family get together, I had to run and deliver some packages, I was gone for like half an hour. Anyway, when I got back, she was in different clothes and very clearly upset. I asked what happened and my sister told me she wet herself after she couldn't have a chocolate pop. Now, here’s the thing with my girl; she would never wet herself purposefully. She has extreme anxiety surrounding her toileting, to the point of therapy. I don’t know what this anxiety is caused by, but it’s severe. She was clearly very distressed, so I just took her home. In the car she broke down sobbing but was unable to tell me what happened. As soon as we got home, she took herself upstairs and put a pull up on (pull ups being accessible for her is a recommendation, so she has more control over herself) and has been super cuddly since. She hasn’t been using her AAV devices or signing at all. She has two therapists and she's due to see them both in the next week to see if they'll be able to help me understand what happened. Family have been awful. My sister, mainly, who is still claiming that she was being a brat and is doing this all for attention. I've since told every family member they will not be seeing her or me until the truth has been told. Am I the butthead here? I am the dad in this situation. 17:40 My son (8) only uses his verbal skills to mand for things and answer very very simple questions like How are you doing? and He answers: I am fine. But how can I help him to start a conversation? 25:05 We are in Canada unfortunately the government does not provide Speech therapy for kids more than very limited few sessions. How can we as parents help a child like 8 years old with Speech? 30:37 Good morning. my son is almost 4 and has good language. He’s not going to school yet and he’s not doing peer play. I’m giving ABA therapy at home. How do I produce peer play? 35:25 My Family hates me for my Autism and exploited me for my Autism and bad mouth me...My nephew is 6 and have Autism and they treat him bad for it. 41:20 They don’t slow down their brain to understand sometimes and because we are literally thinking . We need people to listen more. I think it’s time to stand tall and be who we are. 43:04 This may be triggering. I’m a father to a lovely 17-year-old daughter named Cameron. She was diagnosed with level 2 autism (mid functioning). She is nonverbal and uses her phone’s text to speech. She’s a junior in high school this year and she functions at a 7th grade level. Her teacher who I will call Mr. Smith started working at Cam’s school last year during Cam’s sophomore year. I was concerned about the mention of him in every sentence being typed out on her phone. Recently I found out that Mr. Smith has been giving Cam 11th grade level work simply because he believes since she is in 11th grade, she can do it. He’s been restraining Cam, strapping her to the seat and sometimes tying up her arms and strapping them to her lap so she can’t flap them around or jump since she does that a lot. Mr. Smith threatened to call Cam’s wrestling coach and basketball coach to take her out of her sports. This makes my blood boil. 50:47 My oldest is autistic and has been diagnosed with separation anxiety and demand avoidance. It seems to us that he is in a constant state of "fight or flight" sometimes even if we are just snuggling on the couch (snuggling with someone while reading a book or playing a board game is like his idea of heaven). My wife has a background in special ed, we believe very strongly in respecting children as people, in playfulness, setting limits with warmth and compassion, etc. Some of the behavioral approaches that have been recommended to us seem antithetical to those values or seem impossible to implement outside of a very controlled therapeutic environment (which a home is not).

We need people to listen more. I think it’s time to stand tall and be who we are. 43:04 This may be triggering. I’m a father to a lovely 17-year-old daughter named Cameron. She was diagnosed with level 2 autism (mid functioning). She is nonverbal and uses her phone’s text to speech. She’s a junior in high school this year and she functions at a 7th grade level. Her teacher who I will call Mr. Smith started working at Cam’s school last year during Cam’s sophomore year. I was concerned about the mention of him in every sentence being typed out on her phone. Recently I found out that Mr. Smith has been giving Cam 11th grade level work simply because he believes since she is in 11th grade, she can do it. He’s been restraining Cam, strapping her to the seat and sometimes tying up her arms and strapping them to her lap so she can’t flap them around or jump since she does that a lot. Mr. Smith threatened to call Cam’s wrestling coach and basketball coach to take her out of her sports. This makes my blood boil. 50:47 My oldest is autistic and has been diagnosed with separation anxiety and demand avoidance. It seems to us that he is in a constant state of "fight or flight" sometimes even if we are just snuggling on the couch (snuggling with someone while reading a book or playing a board game is like his idea of heaven). My wife has a background in special ed, we believe very strongly in respecting children as people, in playfulness, setting limits with warmth and compassion, etc. Some of the behavioral approaches that have been recommended to us seem antithetical to those values or seem impossible to implement outside of a very controlled therapeutic environment (which a home is not).

Or Check us out Later wherever you get your podcast! Recorded Live 10am PT Feb 1, 2022 #AutismExpert #Autism #AutismPodcast 0:00 Intro 4:17 My son is 8 and I want to know if recovery is still something to hope for. My son was diagnosed at 2 . At that time we were dealing with delayed speech. Six months ago he started stuttering. His behaviors are up and down. He is gluten and dairy free and has been on biomedical treatment for 3 years. Good behavior at school but aggression toward his younger sister and sometimes me. He wants to play with other kids, but doesn’t know how. He is behind academically. He does well and then regressed. Please help. I want to meet adults who have recovered to know how we can get there too. 15:55 My son is 8 and is have been prescribed sertraline 50mg half a pill. To help with his anxiety He still has anxious behaviors like grinding his teeth and obsessing over his therapy swing at home. My question is He has taking his sertraline for a week now. His Neuropediatrucian prescribed it and it is the first time He is taking a med. 21:36 Beautiful. But sometimes I think things would have been easy if it was solely dependent on us. But its so much related to our kids, their mood , their behavior and their health. I completely agree with the answers, thank you and I am putting my efforts toward diet and supplements but I can't afford hours of ABA and more than an hour of speech a week so what should I do in that case? The autistic adults who have recovered or indistinguishable from their peers, not all of those parents who be rich to afford hours of ABA so what other ways they helped their kids? I really love to know please. 30:16 OKAY SO SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I just had the most horrifying experience ever with my son who is 4 and autistic. We’re staying in a hotel as we are remodeling our home and our Ac/heat is currently down and we live in Florida and we are not built for the 30 degree weather. I accidentally fell asleep earlier with my son and daughter in the room, she fell asleep as well and he undid the latch and left. I woke up and he was gone and went into immediate panic and I called downstairs and he was there along with about 30 people and 2 police officers. There were a ton of kids with balloons so now he keeps wanting to go back down there. Is there anything I can buy to keep him in? I have no idea what to do. I put a heavy piece of furniture in front of the door that he some how can move?(he’s a huge 4 year old) it was just overall a horrifying experience and I am open to any suggestions at all. Thank you so much, I feel like the worst mom in the world right now. 37:03 Mom of twin boys - 2.5 years. We have been doing ABA for over year. Kids are doing really well. Verbal not conversational yet. We are contemplating sending them to school. What are the key indicators that will help us make this decision? I don’t want to waste their or my time by sending them to school. 43:35 Hello beautiful ladies , I got a TACA scholarship to see a maps doc .. any advice for my first visit? My son 7 yrs old ASD son is preverbal and has lots of sensory issues and he’s a picky eater. 49:04 Can you please emphasize on diet for autism Dr. Doreen? My son was on GAPS diet for about 1 and half and he improved but GAPS diet is so restrict and I felt bad every time my son asked for something that was out of his diet. On the other hand my husband also believed that it was more like a punishments' to put my son on a restricted diet. Now he is on GAPS plus diet, meaning he is having some grains that are not allowed in GAPS diet. But as I mentioned earlier his behavior is always up and down and he is 8 years old but far from recovery which worries me the most. Not sure what specific diet other parents, specially parents with recovered kids, followed? I appreciate a discussion on this please. 56:16 can you please name/recommend some great MAPS doctors? Do you accept new patients Dr. Doreen? 58:32 Does ABA work when there is also dual diagnosis of pathological demand avoidance? My daughter is 9, is this too late for ABA. We are in Ontario Canada where the conservative government has frozen funding. https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? Check out our Podcast!

If you would like to participate in the live show, join us on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or Twitch. Tuesdays at 10am PT/1pm ET. https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen?   9:50 Sorry if this is personal haha, but as I’ve come to accept my autism I’ve also come to conclude that my bowel issues are most likely related to it. Is there a reason why autistic people have issues with their digestion? Is it solely because of our (at times, picky) diets, or is it just a thing that happens? 20:27 We just started dating about 2 weeks ago, before we even had kissed I told him that I didn’t like light touches, especially on my face, actually that I didn’t like that people touch my face at all (I still haven’t told him that I’m autistic). After we starting dating he proceeded to caress my face, he said that It was just to check if I didn’t like it, I said that I didn’t and removed his hand. I saw him yesterday and I feel like I want to break up already, he touched my face constantly and I had to removed it everytime, and everytime he said that he forgot. Not only that, he loves to touch me all the time, I can’t stand it, I don’t feel comfortable, and sometimes I don’t feel safe (we are gay). The thing is that I like him, sometimes I feel like I am the one that’s wrong because that’s been a problem in every relationship I’ve had. 29:10 Hello, my son can read flashcards, and can tell you the name of whatever you point out if he knows, but I can't understand why he can't express himself on his own. He has 4 words he said on his own. 31:32 I have a question as to therapies and services. My son was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD after 3 years finally and he is 7 everyone says early intervention and clearly he missed the early part. My question is will he continue to benefit from services he is just now starting at such an older age?? 38:53 Hi, my son is 9 yrs old autistic, he started saying few words in last six months. initially he had one word speech which regressed at 2yrs of age. is there any hope at this age that he will develop more speech and language? 41:20 Yes what he wants. Like want blueberries, want iPad, give hands etc. want yogurt. 46:00 Hi Dr. Doreen. My son has recently been telling me that he is unable to focus at all, especially in school. Are there ABA techniques to help with this? He is 11. This has happened more since he has had many changes at school. (His B.I. was just changed and also his therapist, right after coming back from Christmas break.) He keeps hitting his head saying he is stupid. He is frustrated with himself. 49:24 Would an ABA center based program be better than school where he gets zero one on one services? Could ADHD affect his ability to communicate and his academics? 49:19 Would an ABA center based program be better than school where he gets zero one on one services? Could ADHD affect his ability to communicate and his academics? 52:00 My parents are both on the Autism Spectrum and I would like to learn how to bridge the gap and better connect with them.

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answers viewer questions! Dr. Doreen answers viewers questions about aggression, hitting, food selectivity and much more in this episode! Check it out!  6:32 My nine year old who has ADHD, PTSD and is on the spectrum is having such a hard time. We've missed almost a month of school due to Christmas break, snow days and covid. The slack of routine is sent him into a spiral. We're talking meltdowns at least every couple hours. Repeating the same sentences over and over again. We are working with a psychiatric nurse practitioner to get him further help. We're going to try occupational therapy for sensory overload. He's also on a blood pressure lowering medication that's supposed to help with sleep since he's up multiple times a night. We are also working on getting an official diagnosis. He sees a really good therapist but that also has been thrown out of whack due to the holidays and sickness. He lives with me, his step dad and our 4 other kids. I'm the only one who can remain patient and calm during his meltdowns. I'm exhausted. I'm grieving. I'm worried this is ruining my marriage. 19:30 Not sure if you already have your questions. I’m working with my son on reading with expression. He’s very good at imitating my facial features and body gestures when I read. Our issue is he OVERLY exaggerates me to the point where it just looks awkward. I’m so proud of him because he definitely understands it but how would I get him to tone it down a little? I do praise him after because he’s doing a great job. I just don’t know if we should continue. I’m hoping working on prosody will lead to better reading comprehension. 23:55 Hello . Could you please share what goals related to daily life skill we can add in the IEP. (Elementary School Level) 27:50 hello everyone here is my question. what are some great resources for grief? I know that grief is a hard issue to talk about and since the pandemic is still going on. a good friends sister died I didn't know the sister but the death inspired me to ask the question. what are some good resources for people on the spectrum on grief 31:26 Hi, I wanted to ask how I can help my son with math. He’s 11 and very smart, he can read and write he’s very verbal, he can express if his in pain and all needs and wants, but I feel like the math. Part is just so hard for him, he still can’t count to 100 by himself. But he can tell if someone was mean to him and can also have an argument with myself or his dad when he’s upset. He has amazing Skills but I’m starting to think math is just one of his week ESS. But would like to help him because I feel he can learn it, been that he’s so verbal and smart, please help. And thank you in advance. 38:05 Hello and thank you both for this opportunity! My son will be 8 in 2 weeks. He eats a handful of foods. He eats baked chips, peanut butter pretzels, and for dinner a vegan grilled cheese… ..I use the reward system with him. He also drinks watered down green smoothies. I can’t get him to stop gagging at new foods. Any tips are appreciated! I’ve been watching all the videos on eating and trying to follow those directions. Thank you both! 45:59 Hi! If you are taking questions I would an advice on my dilemma. I have 3 grandchildren living with me. My youngest grandson is 12 and he is on the spectrum. He has come such along way being diagnosed at the age of four years old. Byron was non-verbal, head banger, with several meltdowns daily to now he is high functioning in the sense that he is verbal, smart and is artistic. We have had awesome help along the way. With therapist in ABA, counseling and CLS(Community Living Support workers). 58:00 My son is 4 years old and becomes aggressive when he cannot express himself. What techniques do you suggest we use to get him to be less aggressive? This is his first year in preschool around other children outside of his sisters at home. At first it was when other children invaded his space but now when he gets frustrated, he's beginning to lash out at other children. 1:03:15 This week on Autism Live! https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen?

Bad experience, lost 5 foods, list his juice that we used to put his vitamins into. 34:43 My kid just ate asparagus last night. Seriously. I would have never thought that were possible before. 38:12 Any advice on a child who will only eat one of vegetable which is green beans? 40:26 Hi Dr Doreen, I'm new immigrant single father with my autistic 8 years son I'm concerned will I be able to work full time job when I arrive to state with my autistic son ? or only I can work during school time? 44:05 How do I go about limiting my son’s Ipad time? 52:00 I'm a BCBA and I've been following Autism Live since I was studying for my RBT certification.

Get ready for a lost episode of Ask Dr. Doreen! The Founder of the Center for autism and Related Disorders YOUR questions LIVE in real time! Don't miss it! This is the first episode of Ask Dr. Doreen during the COVID-19 quarantine! Please bear with us! Questions and times below.   Questions: 23:00 – Hi Shannon and Dr. Doreen, from Northern Ireland. I’ve written to you many times and received amazing advice. Here I am again. My son is verbal and is now 15 years old, autistic, ADHD, learning disability and anxiety. He takes medication for his ADHD and fluoxetine for anxiety. As I write this, my son is going through a difficult time with his anxiety and hasn’t left my bedroom from Sunday. One of his fears is a particular singer who happened to come on to the radio in school last Friday. It sounds so irrational to be afraid of something like this, but this seems to be how his anxiety affects him. Now he doesn’t want to leave my bedroom and has a panic attack if I suggest watching TV in a different room. I am really at a loss as to how I can help him. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me.   37:38 – How are we going to continue therapy in all this mess? I’m terrified but I don’t want my son to regress. 54:34 – Hello Dr. Doreen and Mrs. Shannon, I’ve written in a few weeks back about screaming. Can sudden onset of screaming, anxiety, mood change, defiance to do even daily routine tasks, say no to favorite activities in a 10 year old on the autism spectrum be PANDAS, or is it puberty? Thank you.

Recorded Live 10am PT December 22, 2021 #AutismExpert #BCBA #Autism   https://www.autismnetwork.com/toy-guide/ https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen?   3:45 Question 1 "Please god, help me. I'm not a parent, but I'm the youngest child in the family (20). My mom (59) has scoliosis, has extreme back pain, arthritis, one working eye, upon other issues, including depression. My sister (25), has autism. She talks and makes noises constantly, repeating things she's heard over and over and over again. I'm not sure if echolalia is the right term for it, but it's close enough. This happens every day, all day. Even when she's eating and trying to fall asleep. I've put up with it for my 20 years of living with her. I'm more or less numb to it now, but sometimes one of her noises or sayings really gets to me. I used to be the one most upset by her, but now it seems that my mom can't take it anymore. The past few months, she has been increasingly more and more stressed, at her wits end at trying to ease my sister's constant rambling. She keeps saying that she can't take it anymore, and at one point, gestured a motion of strangulation towards her, while her back was turned. We've tried everything, but it seems like we're too far gone to control her. Ignoring her does nothing, she will keep doing whatever she's doing. Yelling at her does nothing either, she will think it's funny and laugh at you. Taking her belongings away from her makes it worse. My mom tried to take her iPad (the only thing she plays on all day) away, and she grabbed hold of my mom's arm very tightly. She hurt her. There's a huge bruise near her elbow now. I just don't know what to do anymore. Mom being stressed directly affects me, as she will usually be unable to control her anger and take it out on me by yelling. Mom says she can't help it, sister can't help being autistic, and I can't help being so f'ing done with the situation. I'm so tired. I just want peace. We don't have a car, we live in an apartment, there's no other options. We can't do anything. Every solution that we've come up with ends up with us being too poor to go through with it. I feel like someone is going to snap one of these days. It could be any of us. Please, God, help me."   15:05 Best Book Winners in the 2021 Autism Live Gift & Toy Guide!   15:51 Best Book Winner Review Baby/Toddler: Where’s the Bear?

Check out this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen! Psychologist and BCBA Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh discusses Meltdowns, Depression and Neurotypical siblings! Tune in to hear what Shannon and Dr. Doreen have to say!   5:20 My autistic 11 year old will shut down often when he has a sensory meltdown or is stressed. Sometimes he will not talk at all for hours. Is this something normal autistic kids do? How can I help him? He will roll up into a ball. 23:53 My 3.5 years old son talking to himself in gibberish has reduced and now he has started using words I can understand even if it is directed to me. Does it mean there is hope for him to talk again? 27:35 I cry every night 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 31:15 We as parents have to get through the circle of depression before we can think of helping them. 43:23 My son is more affectionate than before his diagnosis. Do you know why? 46:35 Hello. I have a 10 year old boy with ASD and a neurotypical 6 year old girl. My son teases his sister every chance he gets. It's almost automatic. As soon as he sees her he starts right in making fun of whatever she is doing, wearing, playing, etc. Calling her a baby and other names. It's mostly verbal, but sometimes he even gets physical with her. It's difficult to stop him. We have house rules that they say no unkind words, but he still teases. He knows he loses time on the computer (his favorite) if he is mean to his sister, but he continues. It's draining. We need expert advise. Thank you! 55:42 My son was jealous. He would say that he wishes he had some autism so that I could spend more time with him. 59:29 Is Dr. Doreen accepting adult patients who need an autism diagnosis?

This time on Ask Dr. Doreen, viewers write in to ask questions about skills, schools, ABA, Apraxia and much more! Tune in and check it out! TikTok: @AskDrDoreen Instagram: @AskDrDoreen 6:28 I'm 25 and have been fired from about 85% of my jobs or aren't rehireable. I've made money every year since 16, but through a lot of jobs. Sometimes only weeks or months at a time. I became an EMT at 23. I've gone through a few jobs since then. I also have PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, sleep issues. Likely Marfans or EDS as well. Waiting on test results. Before I got fired from my last job, I told them about my issues and how it affected my performance and how my boss had really made it difficult for me to succeed. . I even said I thought I had autism. HR lady said "My son has autism". I don't know what she meant by that. I often times miss social cues. I say what I think is acceptable, only to later hear that people don't like me because of it. I ask questions for clarity, and then people hate that. I have a higher-than-average IQ, but I can't seem to really do much with it. If I went to try and get disability, do I need a long history of the diagnosis? I've been in therapy for other stuff for years intermittently. I got diagnosed with autism the day after I got fired. Which was not even a month ago. I'm so mentally exhausted. I don't see how I can keep a job. I only haven't been fired from 3 jobs. 1 was when I was 16 and it was Wendy's and I didn't have it long before we moved. The second was a call center. The third was an EMT job that won't rehire me. Pretty much all my life people disliking me is a huge misunderstanding. They think I am condescending or rude. I try to help and they think I'm lording over and trying to be the boss. Etc. I'm about ready to throw in the towel. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to get the disability and how much they give you? Can you work even if you get the money if you find some place willing to work with you? What if I get the money but have my own business on the side? I want to sell crafts I make with my circuit, what I paint or make. TIA 14:02 Hi , I have a question how parents can learn or benefit through skills program is there a subscription and how can we avail it please let me know 14:51 I have a child on spectrum who once told she does the opposite or do not want to learn the things they are supposed to be done 23:45 Hi Shannon just a update: my 5 yr old nonverbal grandson has been excelling with Aba we found an Autism Academy here in Florida that has ABA on site he gets 35 hours a week he's working w/ Pec cards and pairing along with transitioning into the classroom to school it for anyone in Florida is livingstone's autism Academy he has a person assign to him all day. they also come to the home for parent training thank you guys so much for the content here on YouTube and sharing where and how we can get help 24:41 Thoughts on special needs boarding schools vs daily schools? 27:35 What are your thoughts about brain integration therapy, interactive metronome outcomes to improve focus and attention?

Do you think they should be called astronauts for only going up for ten minutes?   32:36 When you visualize one of the buildings you design, do you see it from above first or can you see it from all angles at the same time?  Can you describe your process?  Your drawings are stunning.   34:22 You have said you have a visual brain are their other types of brains?  I don’t think my son is visual and I want to understand him.   37:30 Who have you been most excited to meet in your life and if you could meet anyone, who would it be?   39:00 Our son is 7 and loves trains, what can we do with him now to help him be ready to have a job?   42:05 Is there a children’s book about Autism you recommend for us to read to our kids on the spectrum and their siblings?   43:56 How did you find out that you were on the spectrum and any advice on how to tell our 11-year-old daughter?   44:58 What does Temple love about teaching?  How did she first begin to teach?   47:10 Do you have a best friend?  What do you like to do with friends?  How do you recommend we foster friendships for our 16-year-old?  He likes cars.   49:36 This might be a strange question, but have you ever had someone doubt that you were on the spectrum?  Our son has made so much progress that people often tell us that he must have been misdiagnosed but they have no idea how hard he worked.  It’s frustrating.   50:58 I am neurodivergent and I hate when parents find out – they stare at me and watch everything I do – and they ask stupid questions like “Do I remember my childhood” I find it annoying.  Do you every get annoyed when people ask you stupid questions?  How do you deal with it?   52:20 I am concerned about high school students who have lost so much in Covid, as a college professor I am interested to know what you think we should be doing to get these kids caught up and ready for college or jobs.   55:45 How many books have you wrote?   56:55 Parents of children how are highly impacted are asking for there to be a new designation for their kids because Autism is such a big umbrella, what does Temple think of that?

She 13 months and she’s not banking baby words , not engaging with others, not walking and love the iPad most of the time. 9:30 Is there a place that we can send somebody to get training on how to do ABA? 13:45 what are your recommendations for parents with kid's going to middle school? Please I will really really appreciate your time. Thanks 19:34 Can generalization be used on similar situations of occurrence or on any general term. 23:00 Hi Dr. Doreen, there was a study published in JAMA Pediatrics regarding video-based therapy for infants suspected with Autism. In your view what does that mean for autism therapies and recovery? 25:25 there are major shortages of things right now since the holidays are around the corner and kids on the spectrum are fixated on certain toys and other things. what is your advice for these parents to help them with the shortages? 28:15 What exactly does Brigance do? If you can repeat? I went there and it shows different calculators. Which one I would use for the 13 months infant https://www.curriculumassociates.com/products/brigance/brigance-free-tools 30:45 My son is 13 & having a lot of sensory issues. I blame it to his hormonal changes. Any idea how long will this last? (Inappropriate touching, bouncing, hyperactivity…) 37:12 This is a question regarding reinforcers. I work as a BT, and I’ve bought many many toys to use with my clients, but I am having trouble with my current client. The child is fixated with smaller than rice objects. She is constantly looking for tiny pieces on the floor. The child is very little interested in “typical toys”. Do you have any recommendations of what I can buy or use as reinforcers? 45:08 Our neurologist prescribed this medication. My son started this when he was 7 years old, he’s taking about almost 3 years now. He was okay taking this, but the problem is he was Have a hot body that I was thinking fever. And He was taking a shower always for 3 times in one day. I tried to stop this medication, but behavior came back, he bangs his head, he kick us and pinching, and he hurt himself by slapping his hardly. We started this from .30 up to 1mg. He’s in .25 right now because if he’s in higher dose even in the middle of the night he wants to take a bath. And again, I want to stop this again cause of he wants to eat and eat even very late at night he’s gaining weight. He asked me to cook always. Until now he is nonverbal, I’m waiting for him to talk, my neurologist told me about its help for his communication the neuro. My husband wants to stop this medication. Even my son is on GFCF Still, he needs to take this that’s we experience. I give him 2x a day for small dose and he was okay. No bad behavior but he took a bath always and eating a lot. 51:52 Very interesting, I am having a hard time teaching personnel space and keeping his hands to himself. Makes me wonder if I recorded him hanging on other kids, he would be able to understand what he is doing 57:45 Dr. Doreen in on TikTok and Instagram! @AskDr.Doreen!

YouTube: Autism Live Facebook: Autism Live Twitter: Autism Live Twitch: AutismLivePodcast 5:47 How to improve teeth grinding in sleep?   7:02 He gets to see a therapist once every 3 weeks. Part of the reason why is because the people that are seeing him don't have enough staff. Only the more "Important" cases get the most frequent therapy. He is hitting people and throwing things, wouldn't that be considered more "important?" What would you recommend?   16:55 How to Reduce Scripting? Dr. Doreen - My twin boys have improved so much over the past 6 months thanks to in home ABA. They are talking so much more and are getting their VB Mapp assessment this week. Excited and nervous! Wanted to know how to reduce scripting? At the moment I model a lot. I would ask them a question and answer for them. And they would learn. E.g. I would say, ”what did you have for breakfast?” And answer for them saying, “I had scrambled eggs. Is this the right way? 21:31 My son regressed at 3 he was completely verbal now 6 he is nonverbal and dealing with stimming, constant moving not able to sit for 1 min I can I improve his behavior. Currently we are doing speech. We have been in biomed for an entire year no result and also last year for the entire year we did ABA. 27:28 Tell me more about ABA Therapy vs other treatment/help. I disagree about meds always being needed for those who have both ADHD and autism because I have ADHD and am autistic. I am a college student who trained myself to study 8+ hours/day without meds.   38:32 Why can't one just teach us the logic from your perspective of why to integrate properly? If explained logically, it could help, I imagine. That way less reward technique needs to be done to teach us?   45:14 I am asking a question I never wanted to ask, I am friends with a guy with moderate to severe autism, he turned 27 in January. it is 3 questions in one so bear with me. this guy is 27 and is semi-banned from the pool where he lives. ill tell you the reason. one is flirting with underage lifeguards. he does not know boundaries at all and I'm afraid something will happen like an arrest or an angry dad or other relative beating him up for it, the second reason is that his special interest is lifeguards and lifeguarding. his diagnosis means that he cant pass the tests to apply, at the pool that he is semi banned from he wears lifeguard trunks, lifeguard shirts, and other lifeguard related stuff and it confused the people at the pool. he lives in an assisted living apartment and the caregivers don't watch out over him and that is the worst problem of all. what am I as a friend supposed to do, should I scare him straight, should I take him on a trip to the local jail, I've known this guy for a long time and I am, very concerned please help me.   51:10 My daughter was diagnosed with autism she also has bipolar ADHD ODD and reactive attachment disorder She’s 13 years old and I’m having a hard time finding a ba for her. I started her on brain mapping and found out she had a concussion at some time do you think this will help her with her behavioral problems. Arizona She was born with opiates in her system she is my adopted daughter I’m 77 years old She had for falls on her head when she was two and the last one was two years ago   59:02 Is drinking Coke Zero at work okay?

Happy International Podcast Day!!! Please enjoy this special podcast episode of Autism Live! Leave us a review and let us know what you think!

The founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders  answering viewer questions again about decision making, dealing with death, social skills and more! Check it out!    4:06 My friend and I both have autistic sons. Both have problems when faced with making a decision or a choice. They cannot select any of the options. Do you know what could cause this & how to resolve it?  11:41 Hi Shannon, I’m so excited I get to watch Dr. Doreen live today! I have a question. My baby boy is 8 ½ yrs old now. Has been doing ABA since 5yrs old. Was diagnosed at the age of 3.5 and I learned ABA techniques from I behavioral training while we waited for ABA by a BCBA. His preschool was supported by early childhood development. He only received 20 hrs a week, once we were accepted by a BCBA and we had to fight for that. He was minorly effected by autism but lost all language by the time he was diagnosed. Fast forward to now, he’s doing great, and his BCBA continues to cut his hours back. We are looking for out of center events to expose him to, but don’t really know what direction to go towards. His additional speech and OT are also trying to reduce hours. We are users of skills for living, and have been using that to continue to move the goal post and establish more goals that seem to be overlooked. Lots of executive function, conversation enders, savers, etc. Am I crazy to think they should be worked on by both speech and ABA? I’m worried that things are being cut back too early. Am I just being a control freak, or are those categories in Skills supposed to all be completed? If so by what age. I’ll add a photo. Thanks for all that you do and always sending love and support!  20:20 How can I help my 11yr old son about death, he mentions a lot that he wants all his family and himself to be alive for ever, that he doesn’t want the world to explode. That he wants the world to be ok. This has been going on for years. He says he wants to stay a small boy; I once try to explain to him about death and it was not good, he was very upset. Since then, I don’t know how to address the death situation, but he asks me every few days if the world and he’s family are going to be alive, please help.  26:13 How do I make friends as an autistic adult in college?  I (18F) am autistic and have recently started college. I have moved to a different state, effectively leaving all of my “safe things” behind (my home, my family and pets, my childhood friends, favorite museums, restaurants, etc.). I have registered with the school’s disability services to get the proper accommodations. My sister (19F, NT*) attends the same school. Things I am struggling with: I am entering the second month of the semester, and have made no real friends. The only meaningful conversations I have are with my sister, with every other interaction being no more than greetings and goodbyes (yes, that includes my roommate, whom I simply coexist with). I am not worried about not having friends, but my parents and psychiatrist have their reservations. I struggle on weekends due to the lack of structure. It is when I feel most overwhelmed by work and other duties and seemingly when my executive functioning deficits are the most prominent. I have been experiencing meltdowns and despite doing my best to implement structure into my weekend, without the incentive to complete a task from another person, I have no motivation to stay focused or even start tasks. There have been a few times where I was able to be productive, but I had been FaceTiming my father for several hours at a time while he continuously reminded me of and talked me through tasks. My parents are busy people and cannot afford to be on video chat for hours at a time. TL;DR: Since starting college, I have made no friends, have experienced meltdowns on weekends due to lack of structure, and consistently struggle to complete tasks independently. Questions: How do I make friends as an autistic person in college? Do I even need to make friends to have a successful college career? How can I implement structure into my weekends? How do I become more independent when managing my schedule and tasks? What are some suggestions that would help my further my success in college as an autistic person?  35:48  Hey everyone! So, this will be a bit longer, but I still hope to fit everything in as shortly as possible. I was made aware I may have ADHD and Autism around 2 years ago by my now ex-girlfriend. ADHD didn't seem too farfetched, since my brother has a diagnosis 8-9 years ago. With Autism I rejected the idea, well because of ableism. I am 27 and live in Germany. It's quite complicated to get a diagnosis as an adult here and also have the insurance pay for it. I fortunately found a University Clinic which did exactly that, but even though I called there in early January, the earliest appointment was today. The complete year of 2020 I was informing myself, reading books, diagnosis manuals I gobbled down everything I could find. After a while I accepted that I may have Autism also. The amount of hurdles to get appointments for both diagnosis did seem insurmountable, but somehow I managed and I was excited for both at last. In May my newfound psychiatrist did diagnose me with ADHD and I am on medication since then, which helps a lot. But there is this percentage of my perception differences, the way I take specific hurdles and how I cope with this neurotypical world which does not align with ADHD. Or so I thought. The appointment wasn't really short (2 hours total talking time), she even called in a colleague for 10-15 min. In the end she said I don't have Autism, but emotional problems, yadayada, I should do therapy (which I am searching for since January independently, because yes I do have fucking emotional problems). I was taken aback and tried to argue to get why she has this opinion. Then she started retelling some details of our talk, but in a manner I felt weren't really what I wanted to tell her. Like she asked me if my family was rational, and I told her yes very much, but she construed it that my family is cold and that there is pressure to be something (because my father is an orthopedic doctor) but this is not what I meant. My family is very emotional, loving and caring; too much for my liking or everyones good. One of the reasons I do get checked out at that late age is, because my parents never saw a bad thing in being different, they saw it as a badge of honor! So they dismissed all the teachers and acquaintances who said I am not normal. I purposefully didn't check what the diagnostic criteria for Autism are in the last few months to not prime myself to get that diagnosis. I thought the doctor will ask the right and precise questions to get the answers which are relevant. After coming home and being disappointed, furious and very very confused, I researched the diagnostic criteria again and found that she never even asked my about my perception or even those very specific questions my psychiatrist asked my in my ADHD diagnosis back in May. I am questioning so much at the moment and would really like to hear your stories. If you had similar situations. I would also like to know if I should get a second opinion, because it seems like the same fucking hurdles again, with an unending waiting game A-fucking-GAIN. A small part in me is thinking maybe you hoped too much, maybe I developed too much attachment to this diagnosis and I really don't have it. Any advice is welcome! Thank you for reading my ramblings! Love to you all!  41:58 Hello. I am 24 with autism. I also have a neurodegenerative condition that causes me near-constant migraines and also seizures sometimes. I deal with mystery body issues too like weakness and pain. You can imagine this life has made me very resilient, but I am not able to be independent. I can't work, I make a little money here and there selling art or nudes and stuff lol, and it's enough to take some weight off of my partner. I also do most of the house work and stuff, which I feel is fair and I don't mind it...I do prefer it to be done my way anyways. More comfy that way. But some days I'm much more sick than other days, and I'm having a meltdown inside my head and want to scream and cry for help but my Masking Level is Way Too High and so I just carry on. On the inside, I'm wailing, crying, wanting to die but my mask filters it out and so trying to express this pain to my partner or family or friends but I don't think they get it. They don't realize that if I'm "saying" I'm not okay and if it reads like a not-okay lvl 3/10 that I'm already at a 9/10 and just don't seem like it. I'm highly independent of spirit, and I don't like asking for help, and I especially have a hard time asking for help because it never seems like there's a "good time." I try very hard to respect my partners stress (he's ADHD and bipolar and I admire his resilience) because he supports both of us and I don't want to pile more on top of him. Do y'all ever feel like this mask you've made to maintain function is actually detrimental? Do you ever want to just have a full-blown autistic meltdown, panic attack level, rocking back and forth, expressing thoughts of suicide just to get those inner thoughts and feelings your mask usually filters away, out there? Sometimes I feel like that would be the only way to express truly what's going on inside of me, and how severely I need help. Asking both for advice and solidarity.  49:06 I told her that I've suspected for a long time that I have autism, but I'm 33 years old and have never been diagnosed. When I was a child, I was diagnosed with ADHD, however. She asked me why I thought I had autism, and I expressed a number of my issues: Hyperfixations/Obsessions, difficulty reading body language and tone of voice, hard time making friends and difficulty flourishing in social settings, being too blunt, taking things literally or being unable to read the underlying context of someone's words or actions, sensory processing issues, overstimulation, and burnout etc. After I expressed this to her, I told her I'd like to get a diagnosis but I wasn't sure where to start. She immediately told me that there was absolutely no world in which I would get a diagnosis at 33 years old, and that she didn't personally think that I'm on the spectrum because I'm 'very verbal' and able to express myself. I'm DFAB (born female) and I thought that was exactly why we have a harder time being diagnosed on the spectrum than DMAB people? We're tend to (but aren't always) better at masking. It actually kind of made me pretty angry that she dismissed me out of hand so readily, when this is something I've struggled with my entire life. It also runs in my family, I am not the only person with these tendencies in my family. TBH she has done this with things I've actually been diagnosed with before seeing her. She has dismissed the idea that I have schizoaffective disorder, even though I have been on an antipsychotic for 8 years and was initially hospitalized in 2014 due to a psychotic break. She's also dismissed the idea that I have C-PTSD, even though again, I've been diagnosed with it. It always seems vaguely petty when she disagrees with me about this stuff, maybe she just feels like I'm talking down to her, I'm not sure.  54:30 Help dealing with food texture sensitivity  Hi, so, for all my life I’ve had food texture sensitivity, specifically with a LOT of vegetables and seafood. Even if I love the taste, I hate the texture. Honestly, I’m so sick of it. It has negatively impacted my diet so much, and the only advice I’ve ever been given is to “just get over it,” and to force myself to eat things till I like it. I’ve tried eating things prepared differently, and in small quantities in food, but I react so poorly that I’ll almost puke at the table, or it will bring me to the verge of tears. It’s so embarrassing having to order something without any vegetables, or just basically eliminating entire sections of menus because of it. I want so badly to eat healthy, but it’s so hard, and living on a college campus meal plan, I practically live off the grill items, and have gained so much weight. Is food sensitivity really just something I have to force my way through and be miserable with? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Edit: I would like to add, I’m on a college meal plan, so if I try something, and don’t like it, I really can’t get something else, and end up not having that meal. I also do not have a kitchen in my dorm.  I only eat milk and biscuits (sometimes cereals) and I gained weight. I don't know how to stop this! I don't even see other foods as foods anymore, but rather items that are not supposed to be eaten, like a jar of body lotion or a bag of pencils. I live with my parents and I have food but I open the fridge and my brain sees no food... I don't understand why! It's been more than 2 months since I slowly started to replace every meal with milk and biscuits and even though I know it's not ok, I can't stop. Do you have any idea that might help or know any food that by itself is a meal, but it's healthier than milk with biscuits that I could eat everyday and slowly get rid of this biscuits addiction?

Do you have any idea that might help or know any food that by itself is a meal, but it's healthier than milk with biscuits that I could eat everyday and slowly get rid of this biscuits addiction?

The founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders joins our host Shannon Penrod to answer autism questions written in by the viewers! Tune in for the valuable autism information about grief, anxiety, gluten free casein free diet advice and more!   7:13 My 9 year old who has ASD and DMDD has been out of control for the last 3 weeks  My 9 year old who has ASD and DMDD has been out of control for the last 3 weeks. We lost my husband (his dad and absolute favorite person) to a motorcycle accident exactly 4 months ago and my sons grief had been beyond words. Between us (his psychiatrist and I) trying to keep him from falling into a scary depression and him acting up, I think we may have messed up his meds and given him mania. He became hyper aggressive in the last two weeks and extremely difficult to handle. I am DEVASTATED that it had to come to this. I’ve cried like a baby, prayed to my husband to help me get through this, since I have two more little ones at home, and prayed to God to heal my sweet boy’s heart. Seeing him be restrained and taken was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to experience aside from the trauma of my husband’s death. I am feeling guilty, sad, ashamed (of myself and my parenting, not him), lonely, and absolutely desperate for a solution. I’m not really sure what I came here for, but I just know how terrible it is now to have to put your baby into inpatient care at a psychiatric facility. This is heartbreaking. 16:39 What do you recommend for anxiety related disorders? 24:37 What do you think about stem cell research? 31:43 What are your thoughts on the treatment of autism and other diseases with mms/chlorine dioxide?  32:12  Shannon & Dr. Granpeesheh, Thank you both so much! I am wondering if there is a way to obtain 1-on-1 personal assist. for using the SKILLS program for my 17 year-old (High Functioning/Asp.) daughter. I have contacted SKILLS and CARD, in VA, regarding this. My daughter is high functioning (Asperger's) and so social / stimuli overwhelm is where is struggles. Thank you both for your tireless help! 36:26 Problem with a supervisor, is it ok to go to higher up imma little OCD and Policies that are not being communicated well 39:07 I want to know about does Gluten free casein free diet help?  I want to know about does Gluten free casein free diet help? Vit D from sun and gut healing really matters on recovery of autism. 47:00 I think my 5-year-old son may be on the spectrum  I think my 5-year-old son may be on the spectrum He takes things very literally (and this leads to frustration) He is highly sensitive to loud situations (he found a recent trip to a stadium sports match really overwhelming) If we shout he can't handle it and reacts violently back He focusses obsessively on things like colouring (but it does calm him down) BUT While he is shy awkward with adults unless he knows them well and trusts them, he's actually very popular with his peer group and loves socialising with other children. He can also be beautifully affectionate with us (on a good day) and can hold eye contact very well. In fact, he loves looking in our eyes. But would barely look at an adult he doesn't know. Does this fit with Autism? Thank you so much. 53:20 Our 6-year-old grandson, who has autism and is nonverbal, has run out of the house naked twice  Our 6-year-old grandson, who has autism and is nonverbal, has run out of the house naked twice in the last week and was found in a retail store parking lot. Police were involved both times. They live in the city and I'm worried DCFS may get called. Does anyone have any insight/advice so we can try and help the situation? Thank you so much, this is really hard

Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders is back to answer viewer questions about dealing with change, automatic function vs sensory function and more! Check it out!   6:36 Dealing with Change  here is a question, hope its a good one. one of my favorite restaurants is closing soon permanently. i am handling the change well. but how can i handle it better. and I want this to help everyone.  15:35 Screaming & Automatic Functions Vs. Sensory Function   Hello, I’m behavior therapists, can you talk about screaming? Can be sensory or automatic reinforcement because no reason for that.  23:13 My daughter is currently in class for Autism and dyslexia formality and her professor is playing videos on how this works. His suggestion is a sensory room. What if you only have one room and an Autistic student main streamed with 30 other students. What can a teacher do to help that one?  25:56 How do we know when its time for aba to be over over?  How do we know when its time for aba to be over over? My 6 year old has mastered almost all of the vb-mapp testing and we are talking about graduating her from aba but I am afraid of that change, as you just discussed. Our BCBA has told us to continue parent training for remaining behaviors and look into social skills classes or other group activities because those would help more than 1-1 adult therapy.  37:08 My 4-yo is doing well w language but he still sometimes zones out. Bc of Covid we haven't had an in-person eval. Could this be ADHD or is it autism making shifting attention tough? How to work on this?  45:25 My son was diagnosed with mild autism at the age of four. He is nine but he does not talk . Is there any chance he will ever talk, if yes what advice you can give.  48:11 I think I might be autistic but idk for sure  I am so exhausted and tired, and I don’t wanna hurt myself, but it seems like the only thing. The way I stim is by skinpicking my scalp and it sounds bad I don’t know, and I am in a horrible situation and I try to cope by eating. Also, I asked this on another post but are there any autistic advocacy groups that aren’t ravist? I am so scared, and I don’t even know if I will. Am I weak? It feels wrong to be this vulnerable online cause I am scared someone will use it against me but why is the world so horrible to autistics like the fact that stuff like (tw aba therapy mention) aba therapy is legal and doctors you can’t even trust doctors and the thing is diagnosis is so biased, so it is so hard to find others locally. People are just so, and I am so. I feel like everything I say will be taken the wrong way and even when I trust myself in a situation and I handle it in the moment it still replays in my mind and I don’t know what to do. Can you even be yourself when you’re in hell? I have a nonspeaking autistic sibling and it’s so much worse for him and I don’t know what to do. Also, I hate it when people ask me how I am then asking why all these terrible things are happening as if there is a reason justifiable enough. When someone asks me why my heart breaks because it means I have lost another person I could trust. And I don’t hate being autistic, but my mind is so messy I don’t even know how I am. It seems so normal to me but the fact that it’s not to others is just so. I mean listen I don’t get it. One time I did something i thought was normal (I knocked and asked if her water was working because she lives close by and my water does not work) and this lady I barely knew messaged my neighbor and called me “crazy” also I told her how old I was I am like a teen and she is a grown woman. I know I should trust but I have so much to lose if I trust the wrong person. If I hear another blame, I do not deserve I don’t think my mind will cope. I will have to forget everything though it feels like I already have. I mean I will endure but how much will that matter if the pain swallows itself with other parts of my brain I need.  55:32  Greetings doctor. My 10 year old son has high functioning autism. He's starting to realize that he is in a special day class and that he is different from the other kids. I'm worried about how this will affect his psyche and how he see's himself. Any advice would be helpful.

Don't miss the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders answering viewer questions again for Ask Dr. Doreen! Dr. Doreen and Shannon discuss Anxiety, ADHD, ABA therapy and more in this episode! 12:17 Will my Child Benefit from ABA Therapy? Hi Dr. Doreen, My kid is Diagnosed with high functioning autism, will she benefit from ABA therapy, play therapy. Thanks for suggestion/advice. 14:09 How do you differentiate between a "loss" and a tragedy"? 15:41 HSP & Social Anxiety So I'm 18yo female and I have been months searching about autism and I'm pretty sure that I am autistic myself, and I feel so validated and relieved always that I hear experiences from other autistic people, but since March I had a depressive episode (which probably was caused by a burnout because I just finished high school and started University immediately) and started therapy with a psychologist, I reunited all of my efforts and asked her if I could be on the spectrum and she told me to reunite all of the traits I think make me part of the spectrum, when she read the list, she only said I was a HSP with social anxiety... This is what she told me when we just met, and she said that she doesn't like diagnosis because she believes it can make people restrict themselves to their diagnosis, I don't know how to feel, I can't stop crying while I write all of this, what should I do? Maybe I'm not autistic and just believe it to make myself feel better? 27:54 Is it Natural Behavior for Children to Throw Tantrums & Cry with ABA Therapy? Follow up: From various forum I read that ABA therapy involve placing instructions and some kids get very upset and tend to tantrum, cry. Is that a natural behavior any advice for parents? 37:30 I have been told I have HFA, I have worked in a laboratory as a Metrologist (scientist) and I have gotten bored. I have decided to become a lawyer. I am in process of doing this. I am finding this boring as well. My therapist told me that career change is typical however, I am having trouble sticking to it. is this HFA or my autism. I find it easy... just like school when I was younger 😴 (also I feel too embarrassed to tell my therapist because I don't want her to think she isn't helpful to me. because she is helpful) (Sometimes I don't tell her I have had a bad day because I feel like she would be upset.) ✅ ok I'm done. (36/f) Is this talk about low functioning autism? Are there cultural queues noted for nonverbal autism children or adolescent girls in particular? 40:55 What programs should I tell my supervisor to look into? Hello gorgeous ladies. Had a question I don’t think that my child 11 sees the difference between adults and kids. For example when he talks to little kids the expectation is for them to talk back to him 🤦🏻‍♀‍how do we know how he perceives himself. What programs should I tell my supervisor to look into? 46:17 Autism & ADHD I have an extremely bright, but stubborn 8-year old boy with a new diagnosis of ASD level 2. One of our struggles is his hyperactivity (fast moving, loud talking, acting silly, not listening). We see it a lot at home and school was reporting issues with it at the end of last year. He gets a lot of exercise during the summer, but school is starting soon, and I know that it will be more difficult. Should we wait or be proactive and have him take movement breaks during his day? Also, he refuses to do any calming activity or swinging in his special swing. How do we convince him it will help regulate him? I 'm grateful for your show.

Join us for this episode of Ask Evelyn Kung! Write in and ask the Clinical Director for the Center for Autism and Related Disorders YOUR autism question! 8:35 What is Evelyn Kung's Advice on Masks? here is a quickie, hopefully this isn’t a silly question. with the us department of education's recent ruling on masks. what is Dr. Kung's advice on this   19:16 Dealing with Mask Related Obstacles My daughter did the whole year in the hospitals and never got over the mask issue. It caused her both sensory and panic attacks, so just added one more obstacle to her already stressful day. But nobody said they couldn't wear them. It's a CHOICE!   26:58 Teenagers & Tantrums My son is 14 and has autism. He has an attitude to everything and still throws fists. What should I do? Like he is 2 or 3.   47:03 Refusing Schedule and Regulation My daughter has many visuals and schedules and aids, but she continues to “refuse” to use them. If they are working for her, she seems to get bothered that it is working and that her “code” has been cracked. So, she will have a behavior that could have been avoided if she had stuck to the schedule, but she seems to be “looking” for reasons to be miserable. And can’t stand to function without the misery. So, being organized and regulated seems to make her dis-regulated, if that makes sense? I just don’t know what to do about it. We have tried ABA, CBT, and DBT. She is 15 and this problem has existed from the start. She did 2 residential settings. She does so well in the “structured” the rules are the rules, and no outside stressors are added that she always “graduates” in 30 days. She can tell you the rules she does awful at the Point of Performance. She unwinds too quick, and her negative self-talk takes over too quick in the real world. It's very hard to watch and work through.

Watch/Listen as our host responds to autism questions with the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh!   9:18 With events of catatonic My teenage x 2 in last 3 years Is this a medical problem or medication related?  11:22 Negative Self-Talk   Good morning. My 13 year old son uses a lot of negative self talk...I'm terrible at this. I failed! I'm the worst one...etc. We've tried ignoring it because I think he does it for attention, but he still says negative statements about himself all the time. I actually think he likes to say them. What else can we do?  20:37 What is a good medication for anxiety  I am Trying to get away from medications and trying THC w/ CBD, but I don’t want to prevent myself from getting a job either  It’s unfortunate that social media isn’t helping. It’s better to have a face to face conversation  30:22 Trying New Foods   My daughter is on the spectrum (she’s almost 7) and I can not get her to try new foods without a complete meltdown. She will scream, cry and throw the food. If I do get her to try something new, she’ll automatically gag and spit it out. She only eats crunchy textures (chips, dry cereal, crackers, pretzels) and other sugary junk foods. How can I get her to try new things? I’ve taken her to the doctors (more than once) and that did nothing… the doctor wanted her to try new foods with her there (the same thing I’ve tried) but charged almost $200 to do it each time so I canceled. Any advice would be appreciated.  39:12 The child follows what the mother puts before her… remove chips and any sugars, the child should be introduced to a different diet.  45:45 Potty Training (Prompting)  Hi. My 8 year old son with Autism will only poop if I tell him to sit on the toilet. If I don't, he will hold it and I will eventually have to give him something to help him go and it's usually a disaster. How to get him to be independent? He goes to regular ed school and does well academically.  48:07 My child is 3. As we move towards the fall, she would move towards intensive ABA or have him go to school?  55:27 Is it worth it to try the Gluten Free Casein Free Diet?  I have a 4 year old diagnosed with autism who has dark circles underneath his eyes, is it worth it to try the GFCF diet? Are we risking anything by trying it?

Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, joins us again for another episode of Ask Dr. Doreen! Dr. Doreen answers viewer questions about school refusal, mouthing, aggression and more, tune in! 1:05 School Refusal Can you please talk about how to deal with school refusal – kids and teens who refuse to go to school, tantrum to get out of it, hide, etc. 11:28 Mouthing How can I stop mouthing for a 3 year old who knows not to mouth but sneaks mouthing when you are not looking. Mouths squishy toys and hard plastic objects BCBA recommended "chewlery" allowing child to Bite that then fading it but advised could take a long time to fade Said there is no other sensory outlet for mouthing than providing a chew toy, crunchy foods, and toothbrush. I have been blocking the behavior and verbal “no” 18:05 Aggressive Teenagers What's the best way to deal with aggression in a teenager? My son’s automatic reaction is to hit out when things don't go his way. He instantly regrets it, it's just an automatic response to anything he feels is unfair. Consequences escalate his behavior. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. 20:32 Developmental Delay Vs Autism Hi Dr. Doreen. I am living in the UAE and a mother of 2 year old identical twins. We first saw signs of autism at 13 months old. Given we don’t have any financial support through insurance - we did a lot of therapy ourselves and later hired a RBT. They are currently doing ABA 5 hours per week each. They have progressed really well. Can mand, tact, answer simple questions. Really good with academics - numbers alphabets - reading 3 letter words. They are still behind in social and play skills. Seeing their great progress and their ability to learn so quickly- I sometimes wonder if they are just developmentally delayed or is this autism? What is the possibility that they are just delayed. 29:08 How can I support family with caring for my son after my surgery in August. I will not be able to care for him for 2 weeks. 34:50 Potty Training Regression 5 year old regression in potty training. Do I have to start all over? He’s fighting hard to not go to the potty and going # 1 in his pants after being fully potty trained. When I say fighting hard I’m talking major protesting tantrums to not go to the potty, and then going in his pants 45:16 could it be it's difficulty to detoxifying because they have lack of good bacteria in the bowel? They should start to do tests on autistic individually because of the wide spectrum  and high level of iron would you suggest a specific diet? I tried t0 do a detoxifying diet but she was not eating at all. 51:36 (Response to the Potty Training Question) Potty trained for a year, going by himself. Ever since school got out He’s been doing this ever since school got out for summer I think he wants both to control over his environment and he doesn’t want to stop what he’s doing

Check it out!   11:34 Reducing and Refraining Spitting: 3 year old non verbal son loves when you sing for him. He loves YouTube kids Cocomelon. He not given much screen time. When he does he spits on the iPad screen a lot. When you take it away from him and turn the show on TV he does the same thing. He does not always want chewy stixx or chewy necklace. He receives regular ABA, OT and speech services. Wondering if there other intervention procedures we could try to help him reduce or refrain from spitting? 17:48 Undesirable Tasks: Hello ladies.. how do I work on building the skill 'Sometimes I have to do things I don't want to do.' My 13 year old has it in his brain that except from school he doesn't need to do anything he doesn't like. For example, make his lunch, go outside and get fresh air, spend time with his family... We have let him have his way a few times and now he thinks that's how it always should be. He is very content sitting on the couch with his iPad. He is home schooled and doesn't have friends. He says no to almost every suggestion and we end up forcing him out of the house sometimes and he will say he had fun. We live in a beautiful state with lots to do! 29:51 Hand-Flapping: Hi. My son hand flaps only when he’s overly excited. What do I do for that? 32:39 Meltdowns: I have custody of my 11, almost 12, year old grandson. I'm having trouble helping him calm down when he's approaching meltdown. I see it coming and I start using my soft directive tone reminding him to breath and giving simple directions but he absolutely fights me and tells me he can't calm down. I sometimes walk away and give him space and time, or offer hugs but nothing is working. I try to catch it early but I'm failing. Any suggestions? 38:40 Meltdowns with Nonverbal Children: (In response to the answer to the previous question) What if child is nonverbal??? 48:37 FREE IBT Courses Available Online: Parents: E-learning Parent Communication and Socialization + RBT 2.0 Training course free to parents on a case by case basis Educators: The Social Environment 51:55 Finger Sucking: How do it get my child to not suck his fingers ??. He is 8 years old and this is a health concern. He sucks fingers for comfort . He does not like chewy . He is nonverbal. 57:10 Schedule Fixation: My son get fixated on schedules. Even if he is doing what he likes outside home. If he has to be home at a certain time he wants to go home. How do I make him change his mind?

Tune in and check it out!  6:42 Are Shannon or Dr. Doreen autistic or have autistic friends and family?  9:25 Do you believe a person with ASD can recover?  14:25 I believe that ABA therapy is extremely cruel.  19:17 I wish my very high functioning aspie 6 years old received ABA and learn all the skills now than later 🙈  20:39 hi Dr. Doreen here is a quickie, is there any other diets that you reccommend besides gf/cf?  26:02 My son is potty trained in pee, but I cannot get him to do #2 on the potty. Please help  28:54 Hello, my son communicates his need/want he is 41/2now. When will he start to communicate with us (randomly)  31:30 My grandson doesn’t eat and it’s very hard to put him to sleep  37:39 My son is 6. He’s been in ABA for 3 years and has made great progress but he’s so hyperactive. He does great in his center but so hyperactive at home and is now becoming defiant. I’m losing my mind.  42:19 My 8 y.o. is always hungry. She can eat 3 bowls of spaghetti. She also has issuea with heat. She cant stand being outaide when too hot. What ia this and what can i do?  44:26 What help is there for me? I just can’t deal with my own thoughts.  46:14 I need advice on how to handle my parents because they don’t trust me.  54:32 Our son is 4, and was diagnosed with ASD a year ago. We are currently living in a region with very poor education, and both my husband and I remember how autistic kids were treated when we were in school, not that long ago and not that far away. We are afraid he won't be able to reach his highest potential if we stay, or worse, for his education to make this brilliant kid believe he isn't good enough for anything. We have been talking about moving, but my parents are retired and take care of him while we work. They are fantastic, and he has a great relationship with them. We are afraid of him losing this connection and withdrawing. They cannot afford to move with us. I know everyone has a different case, and we must decide for ourselves, but has anyone here been faced with a similar choice? What did you decide, and how did it turn out? Thank you very much! Edit: We are thinking about moving overseas.  1:00:18 My 4 year old ASD son probably has visual slimming...looks at moving trees, light coming out of windows... his language skills are improving... please help on how to work on this #WorldAutismMonth #AutismAwarenessMonth #AutismParenting
