The Neurodivergent Connection / The Curious Storyteller

In this episode I talk with child psychologist Dr. Shoshana Levin Fox about how she diagnoses and treats children with ASD differently than do most practitioners. We discuss the methods she uses to assess children, such as DIRFloortime, and some unique terms, such as Islets of Normalcy, derived from her work of 25 years at the Feuerstein Institute in Jerusalem. In her view, many children today are actually misdiagnosed as autistic. They often have other kinds of developmental challenges which are overshadowed by the autism diagnosis. In our talk Shoshana explains how she works to detect these other developmental challenges. There are key tips for parents, too. This is a very interesting episode. You can find out more about her in the link below. Dr. Shoshana Levin Fox is the author of An Autism Casebook for Parents and Practitioners: The Child Behind the Symptoms. In her book, she shares her unique way of assessing and treating autism-diagnosed children. Shoshana’s website is shoshanalevinfox.comHosted on Ausha.

We talk a bit about how she tried all methods to help her son thrive in the world and how she finally went with of the the most controversial methods which is ABA Therapy. This is one of the most controversial because in the ASD community because of the ways the therapist goes about helping the client but like Patty said, it depends on the therapist you get. Patty swears by the therapist she got and he has helped her son in a way that he is able to succeeded in ways no other way could. Now you are probably wonder why it is so controversial.
