I need there help. Because I am a recipient of maladaptive treatment and a true misunderstanding of my situation. It has been and continues to be traumatic and debilitating. Isolated and so stuck. I’m not supposed. I am Alone and afraid. Victimized by a punitive approach to conformity. Ripped apart from my family. And prevented from finding a companion. By an aggressive she-mere campaign against me. It’s awful. So please if anyone can help me. It would be great appreciated.

The only people I know who speak the truth about my situation and my family.

Great video Ruthie is amazing

I thought the clip about pounding a square peg into a round hole was very well put.

When I started Kindergarten I acted like a perfectly behaved adult. No running or screaming or being loud when in the auditorium at school. I was taught to be seen and not heard. My mother + grandmother were strict narcissistic. If I was hurt ( like a got a bloody nose from falling) I hid it and was scared to tell them. I was diagnosed with autism in 2020. I am 52 now. But I was unwanted. My mother also told me I was an evil baby.

For God’s sake fed your cat ! Otherwise, pretty interesting.

What’s annoying me is the emphasis on the word Gestalt proper pronunciation, where is the SH ? Are we really so superficial to the degree of apologizing for speaking the word as it sound ? Give me a break

51:40 Because their paycheck depends on them not understanding it.

sexism, constant fear and neglect, constant terror against my person as i am, absolute destruction. no help, no nothing but torture.

DIR has not been shown to be very effective in terms of better outcomes for Autistic children. Maybe was too ambitious or too theoretical? Maybe it was again falling into a normalizing trap. As most of the 'names' behind this theory or approach did not have Autism as their central concern. The model ends up like an effort to change Autistic kids more than accept them. Agency has little to do with behaviors and too much of DIR seems about behaviors. Also, the model seems to see Autism as less diverse than it is.

I am not sure why the female host in video says so little ? Would be better if both talked.

The phenomena of interactional or relational difficulties between Autistic and non-Autistic people are best explained not by the 'double empathy' problem but by 'thin slicing' whereby non-Autistic people (usually) rapidly judge or appraise Autistic people as not 'as worthy' as potential social partners. That is, Autistic people judged as not worth offering friendship(s) to, or including the Autistic people in one's social network. What has not been tested (but needs to be) is how Autistic people relate to other Autistic people. And if there is less thin slicing dynamics between Autistic people compared to thin slicing dynamics between Autistic and non-Autistic people. This phenomenon (thin slicing) comes up in this video, at about 40 minutes in.

Does anyone know where I can find the mentioned experiment (26:14) shows autistic children reacting to Still face while in parallel play?

Physical restraint on a kid? Oh wow!

I had looked at the book, and am now an hour into this lecture, as someone who at various junctures has had the speculation of my having autism put forward toward him. I occasionally read books about autism since this has been the case, but Broderick's book was very notable for the amount of questions that it raises My story is a bit complicated though, and involves several serious factors, which are hard to disentangle. I don't know how common it is for it to be like that, but it feels like this is what happened in my case First I will mention that I was in special ed. classes for most of the duration of k-12, and that I graduated high school in '04. However, I think that perhaps at the foundation of my personal ontology, one should consider the fact that I was the product of a very alcoholic household, where my father isolated me, and raved and yelled constantly. It seems to me, and I am not an expert, that this also could have been well enough of a factor, to stunt socialization and functionality They initially had given me an ADHD diagnoses, but by late high-school, I believe I was presented with a paper to sign, revoking this diagnosis, which I did sign. Though I do not know it for a fact, perhaps this helped me to get employed later on, if such things had become erased from my school record? (though it was still devastatingly hard for me to eventually get steady employment anyway) However, I became aware, through my youngest brother, that the spec. ed. teacher I had in elementary school had thought I was severely autistic. It was during that time that I displayed early atypical social behavior, where I would sometimes spontaneously act a bit animalish in class, and also I would wander playground alone. I was taken to a special ed. room to jump on a trampoline, I guess to try and drain away some excess energy Keep in mind, that through all of this, that my alcoholic father, and my mother who generally went along with what he thought, despite her being yelled at, did not really believe that I suffered natural mental perturbations at all, and that all of this was more a matter of erring individual discipline. This despite the fact, that I and my 2 brothers had been worked through the spec. ed. system in some form or the other But again, it is hard to say exactly what happened, since my childhood was very contaminated by the ravings of a hard alcoholic, who would often start drinking before noon. He often kept us from having normal childhood friends, and was even paranoid about the influences of other family. However, I had spent summers on my mother's family farm, and although there were bad alcoholics present in that area, I did get a taste of what a slightly more normal human social attitude was like ------------------- To try and fast forward to the present. Well, dad eventually was forced to quit due to diabetic comas etc. His personality changed a lot, but now I think he has a little bit of brain damage, so I feel like I will never get to truly know who he is. I try to get along with him - he is not the same as he was, but I don't feel like he is totally normal After doing menial labor on the family farm, which got me nowhere financially, and failing college twice, I started working in the factories. Finally I graduated to a union job from the temp service by the time I was around 30. I still hold it, and I guess its stability is still sort of iffy. Therefore, I tend to read a lot of books on homelessness survival. I came from a pretty elite public school, and I don't imagine that many of my classmates went on to become factory workers. But, hard work and precarity has become my lot in life. Unless I want to apply for disability and maybe get enough money to live in the group home I kind of wish I could make some money with music, as I am musician. A couple weeks ago, I could have lost a finger when I was repairing this machine with sharp blades and pinch points. It is very hard to make money for me as a musician, because it seems that outstanding social skills are expected. Also, one needs to drive in the very dense and busy city areas, and I haven't been able to get my driving skills up to that level, or my confidence in doing it. I never got involved in alcohol or partying, or anything like that I tend to drive with a lot of fear. Perhaps I have slower perceptual tracking than other people. But also, I always only had these junkers to drive, which were on the brink of having a mechanical breakdown, and this did happen several times in my life. It is only in recent years that I got a newer car with no mechanical issues, but I still have a fear of taking it on busier roads. If I do have autism, then you can see that I am in the verbal category. However, I do not have conversations easily, or well. But again, to repeat myself, this capacity might have been stunted developmentally due to the way I was raised. But either way, how can I change this? Should I change it? I do not mention my possible condition to employers or co-workers - indeed, I do not even have proper diagnosis. Nonetheless, I tend to apply a lot of 'masking,' I think, when it comes to the social functionality. I have been asked why I don't talk much. Well, I never go into a complicated answer about why that might be - I simply shrug my shoulders. I try not to stick out from the others, but I know I still do. And also finally, it is important to mention that many people do not even seem to believe that the condition really exists. And also, that I am not even really sure about what it is, despite having read several books on it. And I may even have it. And also, I am not a health professional, or educated person.

Ive heard this notion iterated hundreds of times. I never hear anybody exploring the alternative concept. Maybe autism is just more common in boys.

An hour and 47 minutes in, I am in tears!

I wonder what they think about identity formation in the context of learning. I am neurodivergent myself and i work with ND kids. I find ND kids are so beaten down as the "bad" kids and building them up by acknowledging all of the things that make them fantastic. Building an identity around what they themselves value. When they harm someone or act in an unknind manner, we have discussions about of theyre acting in alignment with their own values/core identity and how they can make ammends. Im concerned that when done wrong i could cause harm by saying "you value kindness and identify as kind but you did x so are not you really kind". I TRY to say "Hey youve said youre kind and i know thats true because ive seen that previously, what would be the kind thing to do in this circumstance" or "You said you're a kind person, is that why you did this caring thing" In my experience this approach has been effective and I have seen changes in my students' self talk from "im unintelligent" to "I try my best". Could anyone point me to further research on this? Id love to move beyond personal experience and have a larger body of evidence/guidance about moving forward. If these approaches are damaging or ineffective, can someone point me in the direction of neurodiversity affirming, life giving, ways of supporting students?

I hope to see Sensory Integration Intervention used in the future in schools as Ayers Sensory Integration®is evidence based.

I won an informative speech tournament in Northern California with my topic being on Echolalia while in school to become a SLPA. My son is also on the spectrum, hence my returning to school to learn and understand how to tech my son to communicate better. Eight years later I still love learning all things about language processing, for him and children like him!

The fundamental problem with recognising autism as objective is that as long as it exists, so too shall the AIC. And there are always ways in which the AIC reduces autistics to philosophical zombies, as behavioural zombies are what ABA therapy truly creates; it builds those from soulless zombies, at least in the nefarious minds of Skinner, Kanner, Bleuler, and other pioneers of this horrible therapy.

Thanks for sharing this is very informative

You have my blessings always please and Thank You.

Thank u so much for speaking on this subject and thinking about us parents

Born in 1972, and have had quite a bit of trouble managing living in NT world for last many years. No formal diagnosis, But I recently came across the term autistic. Burn out and wanted to educate myself about what it was. I am both comforted and terrified. That that is probably what's going on in my life The last few years for sure.

Hi im diagnosed ASD here in Sydney Australia. I believe i never bonded with my mother because of negative environmental circumstances caused my narcissist father. I have spent most of my adult life in therapy and am almost healed. Diagnosed ASD age 60 and ADHD age 70. So i had no early intervention.

Thank you for this video. I would have loved more examples but this was an excellent video. I specifically loved the section on autonomy. Respect speaks volumes

Silberman is a liar and propagandist

Great point regarding research that shares this characteristic other ingredients with the Autistic community. The intersectionality regarding this is also worth looking at.

Huh? In the US early intervention is mainly funded through state and federal grants and Medicaid re-imbursement. Conservative politicians looking to cut services for low income families will happily listen to EI skeptics. I shudder when I hear someone say they mean to "decolonialize X". Usually they're saying "my laundry list of marginalized identities should trump decades of research."

This is woke mumbo-jumbo. The research absolutely does not establish that echolalia in ASD individuals is communicative, and speech pathology is seeing the assent of an insufferable cadre of narcissists who view themselves as uniquely attuned to their clients and impose intent and meaning on uninterpretable speech. Facilitated Communication 2.0.

A few observations: I wouldn't exclusively categorise autism "services" as part of this AIC thing - part of it is state services. Scientists are not exclusively sociologists. Comparing criticism of capitalism to getting a fish to think about water is too abstract. One is about economics, the other psychology. In legal terms you should be allowed to attend these "summits" because of your qualifications. There does seem to be a small amount of emotionalism in this talk. I can appreciate this is an incredibly frustrating subject but injecting that into your notes potentially reduces the professionalism here. Individual states could work with a system of qualified franchise when it comes to providing autism services, that is to say they could have for a mandatory quota for qualified professionals to legislate with regard to services and policies. Politicians have zero authority when it comes to this subject.

I have issues with noise and my resources only allow me to live in noisy places. i can use as many headphones and DB reducing earplugs as i want, and it only reduces half of sounds. Last time i was living in a city, i didnt sleep for 2 months and got meltdowns daily, police would get sicced on me and my hypersensitivity is still not at all respected. Psychologists made a report about me and concluded that i am suppose to live at an institution that specialises in autism or live in a secluded, quiet place. None of which has been pursued by the state, i know i have to live alone in the countryside to be able to handle my handicap... I can rent something cheap and get put in jail or forced into "treatment" or i can save money to buy a house and actually treat myself in a decade, i cannot last a few more years like this. The institution i live at, has puts arcade machines up next to my living quarters, put up a large bell and ring it daily, the manager will shout at me and tell me to stop acting like a child if i get a meltdown outside. A few months ago i was chatting with a neighbour and someone walked out the door and rang the bell ( I sit in my living quarters every day, with ANC headphones on, at lunch and dinner time) But forgot to have a grasp on time at the moment, a meltdown occured immediately and i tore the bell off the wall, it is bolted, it has been gone for few weeks now and they have already put it back up, yesterday just thinking about the bell made me get a meltdown and now they are threatening me about it. The manageer is not a good individual and his presence make meltdowns worse, especially when he follows me around. The caseworker has told me that they do not want to allocate resources to my treatment "because i dont work with the caretakers" Institution just decides that i should get used to getting meltdowns and when they ask me"what can we do to help you" I simply tell them the truth and they walk away, discuss it, come back and tell me they cant do anything about it. (it literally costs nothing to plan around) A few months ago a new worker made sure that they quiet down the pool table next to my residence, but i know in due time they will "forget" about it and introduce a new noise factor. In jest i have said for years that they will turn that room into a music room, it has partially come true, just not with music... When the world spanning flu occured, i was isolated for 9 months and i had the calmest time of my life. No interacting with people who dont care about me. It was great. Since then they have put more noisy things up and i get more meltdowns nows.

This is AN AMAZING SHARE❤

Thank you for the discussion! This issue is also very important when diagnosing adults who have been left to their own devices when they were children and young adults. It is no enough to say: well, you have survived, so all is ok. All is not ok. There have been years and years of emotional problems that all the coping and adapting and masking and suppressing have caused. When you are a high-masking adult autist it is not easy to tell what is the matter. You need a qualified specialist. And there very very few of them for adult autists.

Thanks Dr. Porges for bringing a paradigm shift in the thinking that a physician and drugs are facilitators. Have you looked into the philosophy of Eastern medicines such as Ayurveda?

Hi, I'm an ND SLP in India. I'm wondering if you could share the name of the study mentioned about parent interventions with at-risk infants and autistic children? I have recently been trying to learn about trauma informed support for autistic children. I was trying to look at your website but cannot seem to access it - is it blocked to access globally? Thank you!

most of it is hating your fucking job in a dying world you can't help but to see clearly what's going on in front of you.

Started out great. I think there may be other ways to share examples without coat tailing on sexual diversity. Especially since society and media use Skiner's method on a greater scale than any isolated case of misguided lone ABA therapist.

As a physician with a master degree in Clinical Ethic I question the premise. In treatment of Autism there are other treatments available that are much less expensive with scientifically proven results. For example, the DIR method is medically based and, in my opinion, more philosophically sound. Ethicist were a part of the development of the mode. In regards to Parent Autonomy, other modalities of treatment need to be discussed. Although we seldom consider cost in Ethics in the realm of ABA is important for justice that other therapies be used as it otherwise limits the therapy to those who can pay or who have insurance that will pay.

Great video 😊
