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?

TikTok: @AskDrDoreen Instagram: @AskDrDoreen 1:08 Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh on the Doctors! 9:35 What you should know about Pika 22:38 My four year old (with ASD) is pushing his 3 year old brother. Hard to the ground and worse he seems to like doing it. I am horrified and frightened. To add to the situation my mother in law saw him do this and is telling everyone in the family that it is because he has autism and no empathy. Help! 33:04 My son is one of those hard core cases. Everyday is a battle. He is 22. I feel like I have tried everything and that everyone has given up on us – on him and me. My choices seem to be to drop him off at a facility that I don't believe to be reputable or to simply take the chaos that is my life. We don't sleep. We live in fear of another out burst. He communicates with an ipad but it is not unusual for him to break his ipad. I have 4 in the shop being repaired right now. I don't believe anyone understands. 45:35 Where can I get information about which diet I should try for my 4 year old who is NV and has diarehhia every day of his life. 56:30 My 16 year old is mostly happy but when he is sad it is catastrophic, everything is horrible…it scares me. Then he seems to snap out of it but as he ages it seems more extreme and to last longer. Does the dr recommend meds Has Dr. Doreen heard of Great Thunberg?

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.

In this episode Dr. Grandin will be answering questions that our viewers wrote into our host! Tune in and interact with us LIVE while Dr. Grandin and our host Shannon discuss the answers and interact with our live audience!!! 3:41 What do you think is the recommendation for kids with ASD /ADHD to improve focus and attention or specific activities that will help, if not having meds as an option? 4:57 what are the best ways to teach job skills for people on the spectrum? 12:17 I have heard you say that you spun a metal ring on your bed and that you like to watch sand go through your fingers. What does that do for you? I want to understand why my son splashes water. 14:09 When you were in elementary, what were your challenges as a kid and how did you manage it, or how did the school help you? 15:46 How did you deal with bullies? 16:46 When you went to college did you have any accommodations, what kinds of accommodations do you make for your students, do you have students that are on the spectrum? 19:06 Which of your books should I read first? I am 22 and am autistic. 25:30 We are trying to teach my son the multiplication tables and I am not sure what to do. I had to memorize it as a kid, but that doesn't seem to be working, how did you learn it, and do you have any suggestions? 27:07 Do you have sensitivity to clothing? Are there somethings you won't wear? My son will only wear short pants and takes off his shoes whenever he can? 29:30 Did you watch Elon Musk and Bezos go into space; did you watch Shatner? What do you think? Do you want to go? 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?

Don't miss Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders answering viewer questions about engagement, sensory issues, middle schoolers and more! Tune in! 3:45 I'm so lucky to catch you on time 😆 I have a question regarding my niece . 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!

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.
