A Key Cause Of Autism & How To Reduce Its Risk - What Every Parent Needs To Know | Dr. Suzanne Goh
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- One in thirty-six children is diagnosed with Autism. While 50% of the increase in diagnoses is due to increased awareness about Autism, at least 50% of those diagnoses are based on an actual increase in the number of cases. Families navigating this diagnosis can often be inundated with information without proper guidance from a trusted source. Today’s guest, Dr. Suzanne Goh, joins us to break it down.
Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Suzanne Goh to dive deep into Autism. Dr. Goh shares the factors that can lead to a diagnosis of Autism, how it is diagnosed, and what the research shows about brain changes in individuals diagnosed with Autism. She also shares the top lifestyle factors, including diet and exercise, that support overall health and brain health after diagnosis, as well as the top myths. Additionally, she shares the research on environmental toxins' role in leading to a diagnosis and the protocol she follows in her clinic to support families.
Dr. Suzanne Goh, MD, BCBA, is cofounder and chief medical officer of Cortica, the largest provider of comprehensive health services for autism in the United States. She is the former Co-Director of Columbia University’s Center for Autism and the Developing Brain, where she researched the biological causes of autism and used brain imaging to identify patterns of neural circuitry and brain chemistry. Dr. Goh is currently a faculty member of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs and is a frequent speaker for parent advocacy organizations.
In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Goh dive into:
-What factors can lead to an autism diagnosis
-Is the rise in Autism cases related to increased awareness or an increase in actual cases
-Diagnosing Autism and brain changes in children
-Reducing the risk of an Autism diagnosis and what the research shows
-The role of mitochondrial dysfunction
-What traditional practitioners believe about Austim
-Top myths about an Autism diagnosis
-The process and protocol that Dr. Goh’s clinic follows
-The impact of a whole foods diet on behavior
-The powerful benefits of exercise and supplements for children with Autism
-Lifestyle factors and improving how the diagnosis is expressed
-Dr. Goh’s patient stories
-Co-occurring conditions that are common with Autism
-What role can medications play in the toolbox
-The impact of environmental toxins
Also mentioned in this episode:
-Dr. Goh’s new book, Magnificent Minds: a.co/d/0U62FkX

Just a little word of support to families with Autistic children. Your jobs are not easy. My nephew is 3years and is Autistic. He never sleeps at night. His mum is always tired as a result because he's always putting things in his mouth, so she has to keep a constant eye on him. Very best wishes to all mums with this horrible condition.
Iron filings are accumulating in the tissues... Epigenetics drive genetics... Search Morley Robbins.
The worst of the bullying actually came from adults who were usually caregivers, teachers, principlals. The only person who gave me much understanding was the school nurse who I believe had Aspergers herself. The moment I graduated high school my goal was to make enough money to be able to afford therapy. I was in therapy most of my adult life and none of the three therapists I saw over the course of 25 years picked up on my Aspergers. I eventually left therapy and began gardening and it was probably the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.
So sorry for your past...garden on!!
@@chrishirst5389 that’s kind of you. But I’m not sorry for it. My life is what it is. I don’t see myself as anymore or any less than anyone else.
Every child should be entitled and also receive the best available therapy from early childhood and throughout childhood, if it could benefit them.
Remember it's what is observable ❤
I agree, adults treated me as spoiled or stuck up because I was always the most intelligent with highest grades in my elementary school. Teachers, family members, and other kids parents treated me pretty bad. I was obviously aspbergers by today's knowledge, but in the 80's and 90's everything was disregarded because I was so capable in academic settings.
now imagine being born in 1966 into a family of five. As the sixth person and fourth daughter. You have a case so severe that you hide in the woods during the day to be able to receive some quiet time. All of your Asperger‘s behaviors are disciplined as misbehaviors. You are rejected by your peers and often bullied. I am now 57 and have created a life for myself, but it was very very difficult.
I was diagnosed at age 57, in 2022, I totally understand you.
I am sorry you had to go through all of that. Our son has also been bullied (when he was 4 yrs old). He didn't answer another kid when he asked him a question. I had to intervene and told the kids that he has a hard time communicating and to be nice. My husband and I have both had instances where there were kids around our son and they either made fun of him or said snide remarks. It makes me sad. I wish people would be kinder and treat others with respect. I always tried to be kind to others.
@@trinarobinson1052- The average sized schoolroom group is far too many, and the structure / routines are also not well-suited.
@@trinarobinson1052 My mom said that the boys were punching me in preschool. I don't remember this but I do remember that they were mean in other ways. Even young children can be bullies.
@@StarCoded Our son attends a charter school so I feel like he is in a good place. He is in a Life Skills class but also gets to go to a regular class. I am going to start working with him with a program I just found out about. Hoping for positive outcomes for him.
This doesn’t affect children only. So not sure why you keep referring to children as if it goes away when you become an adult
Because she's a pediatric neurologist, that's what she studies. Knowing the cause is important to try to prevent it. Also, early intervention is important because children who get a diagnosis early on and proper therapies usually do better in adulthood.
@@galfromwi- Beautifully and succinctly summarised.
The title of this video explains why
I have huge family with so much extended family, 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 4th cousins in their hundreds and not one single person with Autism, then enter 1990 and there is an explosion of Autusm in the community, something definitely in the food or environment causing havoc in human genes.
I have a huge family, too, and have observed the same.
Great interview! She mentioned that autistics statistically die much earlier than other people, but there is another major reason for this that she didn’t mention: autistics who are severely impacted lack sense of danger, and as a result, sadly die from sudden accidents, drowning, etc. This is something that parents like me think about all the time with high supports needs autistic children.
And suicide rates are super high for ASD men 😂
@@christiansnaturestudio6599suicide rates are high for autistics in general, sadly. 😞
@@ManishaHerczyk1 That's why we need a cure
@@christiansnaturestudio6599 we dont need a cure. We need acceptance and accommodations.
@@christiansnaturestudio6599 In the general population suicide rates are higher for men. In autism suicide rates are higher in women.
Warning for any autistic person reading this. I looked up her clinic 'Cortica' and they promote ABA therapy, which is very traumatic for someone with ASD. Nuff said
ABA works well for some people with ASD and is only one tool in the toolbox. It was not helpful for my daughter who's ASD is mild, but was very helpful for some of her classmates. I think the doctor made it clear that interventions and treatments should be highly individualized.
For more than 20 years, parents have been saying “genetics loaded the gun, environment pulled the trigger” when it comes to the causes of autism.
Really need folks to stop making statements about gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia like it only happens to "unhealthy" people. It can happen to anyone who is pregnant. GD is do to the placenta. It's not typical diabetes. I've had clients who were healthy as hell & got & clients who weren't & didn't get. Please make sure your information is correct. I absolutely love your podcast and know you always strive to tell the truth. Birth and pregnancy have enough misinformation out as it is
I'd look at mastcell activity for both/either
Just popping in here as an autistic person to say I wouldn't want to be any other way. Being autistic is not a burden or a disease, it is a gift. The only burden is the way society treats us. If you are worried about your kid having autism, just focus on building a good and just world for them to live in, and love them the way they are.
She says she “thinks” half of the increase is environmental. Thats not conclusive.
Excellent interview. It definitely needs more awareness . Early dignosis,early interventions and increase human interactions instead of digital exposure of young infants and children are key factors to be addressed.Dr Suzanne has explained it very nicely.Thanks a lot.
Druh you are asking amazing questions thank you !!
And he is suppressing other points.
This is one of the best interviews with Dr. Goh. You asked great questions that others haven’t. I have a nephew with autism and this explains so much. Thank you.
Support mitochondria with supplement$ and going to her clinics so she can make tons of $
According to Dr. Samuel Seyfried, mitochondrial dysfunction also underlies all cancer (with any associated genetic anomaly occurring "further downstream").
Everything is ultimately metabolic.
I believe parents of autistic children who yell at or abuse cause more injury to their child's brain, which can make them act out even more.
Autism is not a brain injury but yeah abuse caused anyone the effects of trauma in the brain.
Trauma not injury
@yesi810 I should have been more clear in my comment. Where I said "injury," I was referring to neurological scars. You are right that abuse can cause trauma. To go a little further, trauma can cause neurological scaring.
Great that emfs are mentioned
I had an allergic reaction to shrimp while pregnant. I always wonder if that was what caused my sons autism. There have been studies in rats showing when they have anaphylactic reactions, their babies show traits of autism.
Autism was figured out by chat g p t #glutamateAutism eat fatty meat
#charlieFoundation
Me also allergies to shrimp but my daughter are healthy. I think it's more to genetic cause in both the father and the mother of the child
NO It wasnt
Let’s try Dhru Purohit
What about drug use in parents?????
Omg you don’t need a label (“neurodivergent”) to be accepted! People need to stop holding judgements or learn to ignore them and be less judgmental anyway! If you don’t like someone or they make you uncomfortable then just stay away and don’t get involved, don’t sit there, watch them, judge them, and mistreat them or act out against them. Like why is that ever the answer with people? Why is that ever tolerated?
What about mothers taking drugs and drinking alcohol!
That causes Fetal alcohol syndrome and other problems. I haven't heard that it causes autism.
And the fathers too, if he is using and you touch him now yall are al using.
I did not do any drugs. Why is this topic even being brought up?
Are anti depressants/anxiety medications like Zoloft (Sertraline) safe to take during pregnancy? Anti acids???
I stopped everything but took antiacid if necessary
You can’t take them during pregnancy.
everything carries a risk
Any relation to RH negative Mom
The relationship between narcissists and autism
Wish Dhru asked more about the role of processed food.
Same 😊
I have autism and my parents were health food enthusiasts who bought organic food and cooked all our meals from scratch.
Processed foods are not healthy for you but I am skeptical that they cause autism.
why is she not talking about the rise of glyphosate?
Autism is the new pandemic and the government needs trying to hide this. Everyone professional that talks about autism, they never mention the severe autistic kids and there are many of them, one being my son. Totally non-verbal and fully dependent on me day and night. He cannot function at all without me. Also she never mention what type of environment factors impact the fetus because there are many parents who would like to have more kids, therefore needs to be educated to avoid certain things
Does anything she listed help provide some relief for your son? Or for your well-being?
Could spraying too much lysol during covid have caused autoimmune or mitochondria issues?
noo
If she doesn't blame vaccines, gmo foods, pesticides etc. Then she's lying...
Yes she is working for BIG Pharma
Totally agree
Exactly 😂🎉
She’s literally talking about environment and modern world chemicals.
Exactly!!
1:23:00 for less than 3 minutes....what i have been saying for about a decade, especially at 1:25:00
Encephalopathies are dynamic
If you are an adult not much happens after an autism diagnosis. I guess that they figure it is too late?
Ooh, you lost me at the eugenics stuff at minute 13.
Basically their goal is still to make everyone neurotypical- she stated that a kid “losing his Autism diagnosis” was considered a win. Also “do basic healthy stuff” doesn’t change neurodivergence.
She made it quite clear in the beginning of the interview that neurodivergence was a valuable part of some people's identity and should be respected.
@@TH-il8mn Even if she said that, she doesn’t seem to hold it up as she continues to talk.
Correct me if I’m wrong but this is also happening mainly in the USA 🇺🇸 why is that?
Metabolic diseases are more common in America. You don't see as many overweight or diabetic people elsewhere
The usa has a very toxic environment and food that isn't food.
We put mercury in our teeth, we put mono-calcium-phosphate in our bread, we put aluminum in our armpits, we put fluoride and chlorine in our water, we put petrol food colorings in our candy, we put hfcs in every beverage/soda and everything else, we use glycophosphate on every crop/farm, we put bromide in our fabrics, we use soybean oil foam in our beds cars cribs, antibiotics are way overused here, too many have fracked their land and water aquifers.
That's just the tip of the iceberg of commonly known toxins here in the usa. That is part of why this is mainly happening in the usa.
@Youllneva - Nope! I am in Africa (living between two countries: Ethiopia and Ghana, distance of countries 3,000 miles apart) sharp increases in both countries and mostly affecting boys.
Both are developing countries moving away from completely organic systems to more dependence on chemicals.
In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia the childhood jab rate is 98%. GMOs have been used since 1995 in agriculture and cattle, their govt regularly admits to cloud seeding, and fertilizers for agriculture are shipped from the USA.
Make of that what you will.
@@miroslavagonscakova7751nope. In the Middle East and especially gulf Arab countries obesity and diabetes are number one killers. Whenever packaged prepared foods are on the increase so is increased weight and poor health.
@@gagoomt4076when did vaccines take hold there?
It could be this it could be that another words and you don’t know
🎉🎉🎉
So what IS THE KEY FACTOR IN AUTISM?
it happens way more in the us than Europe. that should tell you all you need to know.
But it’s increasing in all developing countries.
@@gagoomt4076 more supporting evidence
Fabulous presentation…question, would serious alcohol consumption represent causation regarding the fetus from an environmental standpoint? Thanks
Do animals have autism? If so, is the rise of it in animals correlate to the rise in people?
I think because now we can diagnoce it!
Exactly!
Please stop with this ancient era argument.
@@lifeiswonderfulbao9143 read my book 'Living with Autism Undiagnosed'
By 2050 1 out of 2 children will have autism. You gonna say better diagnosing then?
thank you!!
What about vaccines?
They have been disproven.
Definitely. You cannot trust the government and the pharmaceutical companies to care about what they inject your child with. They only care about making money. I have 2 kids; first one I vaccinated and he has autism and second one, i did not and he is thank god fine as far as i can see
@@Catlily5all they looked at was MMR. What if the problem is Hep B jab from birth?
@@gagoomt4076 Hepatitis B vaccines were only recommended since birth in the USA since 1991. I was born in 1975. I have autism. I never got the hepatitis B vaccines until I was over the age of 20.
Pretty certain it starts in the womb though. The genetic propensity for it is activated there
She has her Cortica clinics to promote and a book also.
Genetic. Multigenerational in my family
Another advertorial for her $$$ making clinics and book. Making lots of money from others misery.
I want a cure, and i don't care what anyone thinks 😊
I agree
My daughter was very clearly noise and light sensitive in the womb. She is my only child. I didnt know this was extreme and not normal to the degree i experienced. Did anyone else experience this in pregnancy?
Yes I did when I was pregnant.. I had gone for a dental appointment and everytime there was noise while cleaning my teeth I could clearly sense the extreme distress to my baby. I had to tell the dentist to stop it. I didn't understand it then as this was my first & only pregnancy.
Can anyone confirm if this is one of his repeats
new episode!
Autism is an identity and the cause is genetic. My mother is autistic, I am and so are my daughters. You can improve your health and well-being with diet and all you want, but nothing will make you stop being autistic. We are here and we will not leave and every day there are more of us because we have more detection tools and knowledge. This is also our world, Stop ignorance! just let us be
They sell dietary supplements that's why they keep saying nonsense about it being a gut mucrobiome thing. Nonsense
Wow her know big words: Encephalopathy! 😂😂😂
We are humbled 😂
Not a very enlightening program
Autism is not on the rise. Diagnose is, because it is getting more accessible, more medical understanding, and getting more acceptable to get diagnosed.
Plus they took Asperger's, PPD-NOS and some other disorders and combined them with autism. So that makes the numbers for autism go up!
Not true! Please don’t spread misinformation, it’ll inhibit the attention it should get
@@tsedeniyahiruy6369 If people think that autism is a BS diagnosis that doesn't help either. People say stuff like everyone is autistic. Obviously this is not true but some people believe it.
what causes autism guys?
Our discussion on the subject:

She lost me at genetics. Stop perpetrating this lie. I lost my child at his well visit.
Agreed
Vaccine injuries may look like autism, but it's not the neurotype of autism.
Your comment is the reason you are not a scientist and she is a scientist.
Your comment is the reason you are not a scientist and she is a scientist.
Well it runs in my family, on both sides and spanning multiple continents. I even had a disabled girl in my family tortured to death to get the so-called demons out of her, before vaccines were available. My son and I are both autistic.
It’s genetic and we are more aware of it and have a better tools to be able to diagnose it. There is no increase in Autism just an increase in diagnosis. Neurodivergent people are not broken.
The "Real Truth about Health" YT-channel cover autism and its cause(s) and cure(s).
Autism is not a disease to be cured. It is a neurodevelopmental condition and a different functioning of the brain
Sure. /s
Kennedy is the ONE. He is a hero of the people and our Earth. Vote wisely.
You mean the most recent guy? Heck no. He is a mess.
They sell dietary supplements that's why they keep saying nonsense about it being a gut mucrobiome thing. Nonsense
Because of meth!!!!!
No. My mom did not take meth. Meth wasn't even popular when I was born.
Please. Your comment is crazy.
Stop invalidating us parents that don't do anything wrong
Vaccines??? Number 1 factor
Your comment is the reason you are not a scientist and she is a scientist.
Wrong!
100%!!!!
People are sooo blind. It's scary.
@@Dracarys.. anyone who researches can see that scientific studies are mostly all BS at this point. So people citing them as evidence are completely blind to the reality of what is going on. But then we are told that what we see with our own eyes is wrong?! People please wake up!
Autism is genetic. Stop trying to fix us, we aren't broken. We just need some accommodations so we can operate optimally.
What you are describing is other developmental issues, not autism. I hate that the dsm lumped it in with us.
You don't speak for the whole community. You are obviously high functioning. This is not how severely autistic people feel.
Well i am 😂
She has money making clinics to charge parent$
Autism is diagnosed based on a set of behaviors not based on genetics. So no, it has not been proven that autism is genetic. There are some genetic mutations that may contribute to autism but all people diagnosed with autism do not share a common genetic diagnosis. This is why research is still continuing and why environmental factors may be a large contributor.
@shauntelcampos3212 then behave nicely kid
My message to the world. To ALL of humanity is to stop today and get on your knees and give your life to Yeshua HaMashiach.
Repent of your sinful life and turn away from sin and return to your Creator, Yeshua HaMashiach , G-D, the One Who Truly Loves You, your Perfect Heavenly Father.
Shalom😊❤
Fairy tale.
