What were all the Modalities?

P r o m o s m

I thoroughly enjoyed that podcast. Dr. Roddick is always upbeat. He can guide you to a world of possibilities.

that is what I always say ... women and men are closer to each other than some people want them to be. I mean, we all are humans. We have to be similar to each other. Even autistic traits are human traits. It´s just a little different, but we notice that of course. I really see myself in this video again ... I always have to think about what to say and which person I can speak to in a room. I don´t want to say the wrong thing or disturb someone. To often it happens ... I really don´t know what I can change very often.

Ppl w/ psychosocial challenges are more the same with autistics & autism its sad to see how some try to differentiate these groups without correct info.

Sorry your info on bipolar isn't correct. Many resources say bipolar don't need medication. See mad in america.

fantastic video, thankyou!

I have to say something about this "feeling different". I am in the process of diagnosis. My struggle started from the moment my children were born. I mean, I felt strange before, but all my life I thought I am just broken and/or incorrectly raised ;D When my children were born I realised that it is horridly difficult to deal with everyday life and I am just so exhausted. As my mother started showing signs of Alzheimers at the same time (just before she turned 70), I assumed that this is early alzheimers, or a least that I have some damages in my prefrontal cortex, that my brain works incorrectly. And only now I am discovering that all of this is called autism....

Moved "home"..... no, its moved to their parent's home.

20:45 Gifted so that you do well on tests but not in class. Ask women about how much work they put into fitting in... Did they study it, try to copy, spend hours going over the memory reels and then go around doing social repairs? Did they have an alone place no one knew about? How did they calm themselves when no one was watching?

12:35 Seen or safe. You never feel safe, either.

9:10 We are who we are. We can modify behavior with work but we are who we are.

any other autitistics here rly irritated by the host, it was clear that she didnt understand or really make much of an effort to, and expecting simple neuotypical things for things like 'what do autistic people look like'. It felt like she was asking from a Social friendly question asking but not actually genuinely interested way

Question; If AS women are only now coming to the fore because of a historically formed and limited understanding of AS, mediated by male stereotype; what of the males who are not stereotypical? Unless you think men are stereotypes. And of course, not all AS folk are not magically immune to having a shit and unsympathetic upbringing, having any chance of their autism being seen. I'm suggesting if it is plausible, then it is also urgent, to surmise there is both a female and male population MIA? I was late diagnosis at 50 yrs and yes, I am male. It took another AS person to 'call me out' out of the shadows where that no-one wanted to go. No health professional involved. I call this 'Dirty Autism''. 'DA' equally lurks in shadows of mis-diagnosis, diagnosis of co-morbid's that shade out the core of AS, and non-diagnosis. Also homelessness has an unaccounted for population of mental health issues and equally deserves a better attention. Why I bring this issue up to the surface of you-tube here? I've seen the crazy sexual bias statements bleed in Autism. It was just once, and one swallow does make a summer, but it was enough to wonder if Autism can stay clear of these clouding rhetorical statements .

So good to hear,really helpful to understand and support others.

Hi. Aspergers self diagnosed at 60, confirmed by psychiatrist and psychologist specialist in ASD. Help is limited though. Do you consult remotely 🙏 🙏 🙏

This is great, thank you! I'm an undiagnosed 61 yr old in VT, and I'm grateful for the woods I live in since the peace here is palpable. It provides the ability to reflect and see if ASD fits me as it seems to. So does ADD, tho. 🤪

Humans are binary and nothing else. Only massive birth defects cause doctors to not be about to tell if a baby is male or female. There are only 2 genders. You are obviously a part of the government's eugenics program even if you don't realize it. No one is born in the wrong body. Government and doctors have been WRONG OR LYING about human nutrition since at least 1955 with the UNSUBSTANTIATED NO PROPER CLINICAL TRIALS Low fat dietary guidelines that FORCE a chronic malnutrition excess level of carbohydrates & frequency of insulin reactions, causing most health problems and mental illnesses. BOOKS: Cancer As A Metabolic Disease, The Cancer Code, The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, What the Fat!?, Metabolical, BRAIN ENERGY by Dr Chris Palmer (cure for most mental illness including schizophrenia), DEATH BY FOOD PYRAMID. I also saw a video by a mom that used food to cure her son of autism symptoms. I heard of a medical procedure to implant probiotics from the parents to their mute autistic son's lower digestive system which cured him of severe autism inability to communicate and he was able to talk for the first time in his life. The gut microbiome is linked to brain function. I wonder how much of autism is caused by chronic malnutrition or toxins in food etc messing up the gut microbiome. 80% of the seratonin for our brain is created by gut microbes.

Ugh I'm in Virginia and I'm trying to get help as a 60 year old female. I looked at some websites that you've referred but they're all geared for children. 💔

Also a shout out to all the late diagnosis men who are even more of a minority and i don't see many communities for them. I know a lot of us, female and male, must be suffering out there still oblivious. I only got lucky cos an autistic friend told me. I hope they all can find out sooner than later.

Thank you for this video/discussion being made available for anyone who has access to TH-cam. I was not diagnosed until my sons were diagnosed and in their teens, and now I have very little room to make changes in my life. I don’t think I can handle this. I’m asking for help, but the services I’ve seen available to me, do not seem to address the core issues, which are the stresses of this life I have are too much for me to handle, so I am left having unattainable goals, few successes, and daily failure. If anyone has suggestions, please share. Thank you again, for addressing these issues and providing the discussion for the general public.

I'm almost 60 years old, a medical doctor and I suspected that I may be on the autistic spectrum for the last 20 years. Throughout my entire life, I've had difficulties forming friendships, irrational panic at change and this can even be caused by a chair or ornament moved to a different location by another family member. I'm extremely sensitive to noise and am always feeling like an outsider or misunderstood in social settings. Routine is imperative for me to be able to function properly and deviating from the safety of routine makes me agitated and panicky. I've taken various tests online and spoke about this with my GP who thought that I was just looking for an excuse for my irrational anxiety and intervals of extreme anger and which leads me to 'shut down' as I call it. I'm extremely orderly and tidy and silly things like a curtain not opened so it hangs neatly or throws on the sofa that don't look perfect to my mind also earned me the label of having OCD by the same GP. Recently I managed to arrange an appointment with a psychologist. I purposefully didn't mention anything to her about my self-diagnosis of possible autism. I told her the reason for my visit was to try to understand behaviour traits that have been with me all of my life, even in school but they became worse at university. On the second visit, she presented me with a Q&A test and at the end of the second consultation, she diagnosed me with autism, diagnosing me as high functional autistim. Even though this diagnosis is late, it gives me so much peace and understanding. I thought perhaps I had an unstable personality disorder but that was ruled out. I wish I had known long before that there is a name for my 'odd behaviour'. I've always found myself easily withdrawing or avoiding certain situations. I'm intensely shy and those close to me tell me that I'm calm and empathic but that makes me feel like a fraud. It upsets me but I'm able to keep my emotions in check in the privacy of home or my car. I'm a medical doctor and love my profession and thankfully, I've never felt challenged between that and autism. My psychologist explained to me that my excellent memory and attention to detail (even though sometimes excessive) are a positive to come out of my diagnosis. Both of my sons are on the spectrum which may be the reason I understand them so very well. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us, I'm very grateful.

21:30.. ‘slower processing’ ..interviewers words to expound into an operational insight for what this could mean 🙏💚

It's not easy to find good content around the subject of women and autism. This was excellent.

18:57 How women often fly under the radar.

16:13 and this. (Recommendations for coping.)

Thank you for the validation to my recent diagnosis

Also high functioning and late diagnosis ASD...I hear so many people talk about their mom being uncaring and or some personality disorder...and since ASD is 0.9 genetic and back when their mom was growing up...ASD didn't happen in women...in fact Asperger's wasn't a diagnosis...any chance their mom had it? Perhaps that is why we have it...and that is why the relationship was so bad? It doesn't excuse bad behavior of course...but worth considering for those of us with troubled relationships with our parents. Disability is an explanation not an excuse as I do say...I have 2 brain injuries as well...I'm a guy in my 50s and was just diagnosed...my IQ was...before my brain injuries in the 160s...the IQ test really isn't accurate above the 130s due to problems with small sample size...so anyone who tells you their exact IQ above 130...is incorrect...but...when I was growing up...the image was Rain Man...so many men were missed too...

great video!

It is surprising to me how common this is. Unless, of course, life is totally unbearable.... for instance the masking that we do in order to be able to function productively causes people to misunderstand why our behavior is radically inconsistent. And for sure we can't even understand it ourselves? It was always so easy to believe something was wrong with us.... I just remember BELIEVING that something was missing in me that was not missing in other people. I felt abnormal. I am 75 yrs old now, so the pressure is less, of course and I have no desire to get a diagnosis so, these videos sure are helpful.

I love this, not a spectrum but a universe. Succinctly expressed.

It's not because 'kids are cute'. It's because kids enter the school system and teachers quickly realize that many kids on the spectrum cannot do (or be expected to do) most of the things on the agenda for the day. Constant transitions, playing in groups, bright lights and loud sounds, etc means that teachers must have the students assessed and get them the help they need. As teachers we often have several children on the spectrum in one classroom, along with other special needs, and kids who are just tired or hungry or can't sit for more than 2 minutes. So no, they don't get attention because they are cute, but because it is absolutely necessary.

This is a much needed and appreciated talk. Thank you for having the discussion and sharing it here. So good. Really helpful. Even healing. 🙏🏼☺️

Excellent video & the advice at the end was beautiful 👏👍 Thank you so much ☺️ 💓

My daughter is 22 years old and I didn't start seeing these things you ladies are speaking about. I want to help but she doesn't want the help and she says she want me to help. I know she would benefit from the resources but how and where to begin. We live in Houston, TX. Thank you in advance.

I am trying to get an evaluation to see if I have this because I have been struggling for years with social and emotional development I gave birth to 3 children with special needs I am married and it’s been a rollercoaster and no one believes me all because I graduated from LPN. School and worked as LPN and all the success and I struggled so much in my jobs as a nurse I never felt like i belong or i felt different. Now I am not working I feel so dependent. This video describes me so well. People just don’t believe until you’re seen by a professional that can prove it.

69 year old female, newly diagnosed on the spectrum. I have always been a bit different, odd, tomboyish. Bullied at school, grew up with an alcoholic, angry, hateful father and lost my mother in my teens. Good foster home, then married, kids, divorce. Diagnosed with PTSD years ago, but still felt something missing. ASD has helped explain so very much. Great video, I “heard myself” in so much that was discussed. Thank you!

The end of mental illness Dr. Daniel Amen.

I came to the awareness a couple years ago. It has been both a period of mourning, mixed with relief, letting others off the hook, letting myself off the hook. I had to stop and rethink my entire life. I'm almost 70. Some days I cry over the smallest things.

My sister is in her 60’s and undiagnosed. She is miserable and it breaks my heart. Her better friends have kids with ASD who seem to normalize her drama. None have pushed for a diagnosis and my family is in complete denial. How can I get her help when she is so resistant to any therapy?

I'm 16 and trying to get a diagnosis in the future.... I know I probably won't get to get one until at least 18 This is almost entirely me My therapist laughed at me when I tried to bring it up as a suggestion though I'm trying...

“Going into a room…. not intuitive….. has to think about it”….. pffffttttt. I have no clue how to approach anyone no matter how much I think. Intelligence - high Social ability - non-existant
