NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently | Steve Silberman

Here‘s a video on why it looks like Autism “maybe” increasing. https://youtu.be/S0l9El7bg44?si=LnK2979IwJBjzeRJ

ncsufoxes The other things that the video does not mention is: girls were largely dismissed from early autism diagnosis, also many non White children, particularly Black children were diagnosed with things like intellectual or behavioral disorders, not Autism. There is also a lack in consistency in evaluation methods/standards. The ADOS has become the tool to use, but it is not used correctly all the time. And the ADOS has only been really used in the last 3w

ncsufoxes few years. Plus many different communities have not always had access or availability to psychologists for evaluations. Or taking in cultural norms for evaluation purposes, since most evaluations tools are normed on white males (there has been a push to change & update evaluations measures but it‘s an extensive & expensive process).

ncsufoxes Additionally Autism was initially diagnosed as a childhood seizure disorder. I‘m pretty sure this was mentioned in Neurotribes & I think (it‘s been many years since I‘ve read it many years ago) the tagged book also discusses the history of Autism. As an anthropologist he does a really nice overview of Autism & changing diagnostic criteria in the DSM. It was written in 2007, so none of the updated info is in there. I probably need to reread it

Bump. Autism isn‘t caused by pregnant women taking acetaminophen/tylenol. Way to blame the mother/woman. There‘s a large genetic component. Please question everything this man and administration say.

CBee As the mother of an autistic child, I thank you for posting this 💚 4w

Lands It was hard to watch his speech. He did say somewhere in there that it‘s his opinion. 4w

TieDyeDude Drumpf and R-FKer continuing the legacy of ignoring women's pain and blaming them for anything they can't handle. Pathetic and dumb. 4w

kspenmoll Totally get it. The genetics are so clear in my family & my husband‘s. 4w

FDT. FRFK. The dumbest presidential address yet?

TieDyeDude BTW, any advise on buying stock in Tylenol while the price is dropping? 😜 4w

AmyG Honestly. The utter stupidity. Trump is probably blaming Tylenol because he can‘t say a acetaminophen. (edited) 4w

willaful Would love to see a lawsuit from them.

I discovered after his death that my father was trying to prove this theory, which was enough for me to know it's complete crap. 4w

Aims42 @AmyG LOL! Definitely 🤣 4w

Aims42 I‘d rather trust the doctors and scientists rather than a man who eats at McDonald‘s every day and a man who eats roadkill 🙄 4w

willaful @Aims42 word! How on earth are we supposed to take them seriously? 4w

Aims42 @willaful 🤦‍♀️😵‍💫🫣 Right?!? 4w

Deblovestoread @Aims42 🙌🏼 @AmyG Exactly! Release the files! 4w

RamsFan1963 Don't you love how Captain Bonespurs has the gall to tell women to just deal with the pain, and not take a pain reliever that has been proven reliable, safe and effective. I'd like to see DT stand the pain of pregnancy, much less child birth. FDT FRFKJ!! They have no reliable science to back up their accusations, but stop calling autism a f'en disease!!! 4w

TheBookgeekFrau My eyes rolled so hard I got a headache 😂 4w

Sparklemn @AmyG OMG… I needed a laugh. 😂 4w

lil1inblue @TieDyeDude 😂 Also, my MIL can't take tylenol. But at least 3 of her children are autistic... 🤔 4w

Crime story set in Portugal, but it‘s not the usual holiday-read. A great set of inspectors (one autistic) and a good and clever storyline.

Jerdencon I haven‘t read any - all sound good but my first two choices would be her every fear and the tagged book. 3mo

TheAromaofBooks Her Every Fear is the only one of these I've read, but I actually would be totally down for a reread because all I remember is that I really liked it (and also legit checked my closets whenever I got home from work every day!) The others sound good, too, so whichever one you choose should be good with me!! 3mo

bookandbedandtea @Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks Based on your comments, especially Sarah's about checking closets 😬, I think we have a winner in Her Every Fear! 3mo

TheAromaofBooks Nice!!! 3mo

The Uninvited | Liz Jensen

I'll be honest: I started this book partly because the cover looks like an evil universe baby version of my friend Lisa. But then I could not stop reading and ended up devouring it in a couple of days. Best thriller/horror I have read in a long time. Spooky, weird, and full of possibilities. The very likeable main character is neuroatypical and goes about trying to solve corporate sabotage cases in unusual but effective ways. Hesketh's journey👇

LitStephanie is as interesting as the horrifying events he is investigating. As he realizes, sooner than most, that the crimes occuring are connected and civilization is falling apart, he has to figure out what is most important to him and what he will do to protect what he loves. It is a disturbing book that prompts one to think. Masterfully written and scary. 4mo

AmyG Well that sounds good. 4mo

LitStephanie @AmyG I am still thinking about it! If you read it, I hope you enjoy it. 4mo

Pruzy That is a terrifying cover 4mo

LitStephanie @Pruzy yup! Pulled me in. 4mo
