NEURODIVERSITY EXPLORATIONS

Helping autistic and AuDHD adults and parents of neurodivergent kids navigate the world of autism and ADHD After Chris was late diagnosed as being autistic in addition to having ADHD, we have been learning about how to make adjustments to our lives to better support an AuDHD brain. Before that? We moved to Taiwan to build careers in education over 15 years ago. Since then we've helped over 1,000 families, supported neurodivergent students and staff, and traveled to numerous countries. Now we're sharing what we've learned about autism, ADHD, and life as a neurodiverse couple...all with our signature humor, positivity, and unique outlook on life together. On this channel, expect a mix of wisdom, experiences, hilarious anecdotes, and useful tools. We’re sharing our lived experiences as educators, as well as the lived experience of an autistic ADHD entrepreneur, manager, and teacher. Intrigued? Dive into our content! Grateful you're here with us! #chrisanddebby #auticate

A big tell is long disclaimers and context setting before saying what they want to say (sorry to call you out- I do it too especially when scripting in my head ). On the other hand my ADHD husband will start talking with zero context, I.e. “can you give me their address?” When I have no reason to know who he is talking about. Or he will jump to a new conversation topic/story without a clear transition, leaving me totally lost lol.

How Autism Rates Are Rising – And Why That Could Lead to More Inclusive Communities

Amid growing investment in the field, a new paper argues it rests on shaky foundations

There's no scientific evidence that the gut microbiome causes autism, a group of scientists argue in an opinion paper published in Neuron. They point to the fact that conclusions from past research that supported this hypothesis—including observational studies, mouse models of autism, and human clinical trials—are undermined by flawed assumptions, small sample sizes, and inappropriate statistical methods.

A new opinion paper shows no convincing evidence that there is a causal link between gut bacteria and autism, citing weak research and hype that sustained an unproven theory.

A new review of 15 years of studies on the connection between the microbiome and autism reveals widespread statistical and conceptual errors.
