I don’t like his description as “someone who has found something more interesting than socializing”….dismissive and oversimplified. I also don’t like the way she calls it a “good one 😃 “.

Oh l wish we had this help years ago l had diagnose back 208 but l turn things around if you Google Louis wall station gardener became famous

Undiagnosing just means the autistic person is masking really well, which in itself is very destructive for us.

As a kid I found life very scary, I still do.

#actuallyautistic!. Misunderstandings are not a one way street. Autistic are frequently misunderstood by neurotypicals

Hi Jessica, many thanks for uploading this video. I agree with Dr. Tony who said that yoga benefits people with autism. Being autistic, I've reaped the benefits of yoga myself. It is also true that practicing yoga can release suppressed emotions which are hard to face for a person with autism. From my experience, certain kind of foods (depending on the person) when taken an hour after a yoga session can help ground the person's released emotions.

Excellent video! I haven't been diagnosed but I am 99% percent sure I have Aspergers. There is absolutely no research whatsoever on adults with autism in my country....the focus is mainly on children...especially those who would be ASD level 2 or 3.

Excellent.

She is too loud. I cant listen to her.

I am so sorry that my mic is scratchy... 2020 was the year I decided that it was time I upgraded my mic!

Great interview Jessica!

I kept waiting for you to ask the questions about autism medications or naturopathic/homeopathic nutritional modalities...so what u gave is general advice and general comment "choose a therapist child relates to"....since you are interviewing the expert...these questions were important...

Walking is too an excellent brain-feet axis of the mind-body for autistic fellows which also can be done communal.....

My teen daughter often giggles for mo reason, is this part of autism ?

Ms. Mcilveen, as a 40 year old man (and an ecologist with 6 years of post-graduate research and education), and (prior to going back to school) a long-time massage & yoga therapist who was recently diagnosed with ASD, I've been watching (and reading) a lot of Dr. Attwood interviews. You--far and away--make the best use of the great resource that is Dr. Attwood! Your questions were insightful and dug far more deeply than any other interviewers I have seen. I am so glad to know that there are kids out there who are benefiting from your wisdom and compassion!

Part 1 ended too abruptly, just when Tony started to address internet addiction! Please help those of us who have survived the school years & now have anxious young hermits at home. There’s no literature on transitioning after the school years for the majority of kids with ASD who aren’t academic.

PLEASE start addressing the needs of these kids once they leave school. We’re saturated with advice on early interventions & are sick of clueless relatives insisting we’ve got the next “The Good Doctor” when in fact the majority of them don’t have high IQ’s. They leave school & retreat to the safety of their bedrooms. Now what? (crickets)

I'm shocked that this video doesn't have more views! Very informative! Absolutely love what Tony was saying about autism and the empathy myth. My partner and I are both on the spectrum and we are also both empaths and care immensely for each other's well-being. There are no miscommunications when it comes to caring when the other is upset because we are very open about whether we are upset and what we may need in the moment.

Good video. I have an Asperger Syndrome Diagnosis and was diagnosed by Tony 20 years ago.

Far out Jess, I've struggled with dyslexia all my life and I found Olive's understanding of these problems AMAZING! She seems to bring so much ideas into clear perspective. Thank you for the interview and bringing her here. I love you both! :-)

This is such good advice Jess! I have a 13-year-old and I am going to try this for sure.
