Autism Spectrum Recovery | Team Connections There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception. ~ Aldous Huxley Building The Autism Spectrum Team To Manage Recovery Variables Dr. Debra Moore is a retired psychologist who now devotes her time to writing and sharing information on understanding, treating and managing autism. Years ago she founded and directed a psychotherapy center in Sacramento, California where she taught and mentored therapists in training to manage autism spectrum challenges. Remember to always think in autism spectrum terminology to honor the deeper, evolving understanding of the multiplicity of underlying factors discussed by many experts here at CBJ listed below. [We'll add more on this page as they report findings here.] Debra As An Autism Spectrum Resource Over the years she developed a specialty in autism spectrum disorders and following retirement from direct clinical work coauthored The Loving Push - How Parents and Professionals Can Help Spectrum Kids Become Successful Adults, with Dr. Temple Grandin, an internationally acclaimed expert who herself has suffered from ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder - challenges. Now living in Washington, DC, Debra contributors to Autism Parenting Magazine and Autism Asperger’s Digest, facilitates LinkedIn Groups Autism Spectrum Across the Lifespan, and Autism HELPING HANDS Mentors and contributed chapters to The Nine Degrees of Autism and Internet Addiction in Children and Adolescents.  Debra's insightful comments here at CBJ/153, about ABA - Applied Behavior Analysis - and team play in work with ASD individuals, provide a helpful perspective even for the most informed parents and therapists.

Boredom As An Important Marker For Action Paradoxically, without self-control you can't be free. - Russell A Barkley Measure Brain Function To Improve Outcomes - Boredom Matters  Jeff Copper is an ADHD Coach and national thought leader who likes to use obstacles as teaching tools. He likes to measure. Here he measures, yes, boredom. At first, boredom looks like it's obvious, but Jeff takes this interesting boredom discussion to a different level. Jeff is, quite simply, a man for all seasons, as he reflects, reports, and recommends on the remarkable changes in "ADHD" - Executive Function - mind science. His international reputation for asking important questions, for providing an interesting forum to discuss the vagaries of ADD/ADHD diagnosis and treatment, is nothing less than exemplary - especially in these halcyon years of ADHD medication confusion, public distrust, and pervasive medical quandary. It's dicey out there, and Jeff sets out to correct the guessing game with details that work. Photo by Maxim Smith on Unsplash Straight Talk: Thinking About Boredom & Function Don't forget, if the targets and treatments remain imprecise who can blame the public for a pervasive lack of confidence in the ADHD treatment system? The good news, label guesswork is out [hyperactive vs inattentive??], and detailed, functional measurement, both brain and biomedical, is now more decidedly, irrevocably in. No, I'm not diving into the deep waters of controversy over functional vs traditional medicine. The function I'm addressing here at CBJ is at once complex and simple: brain function and biomedical function from a comprehensive medical perspective are increasingly translatable, understandable, and applicable down at the street level. Perspective My perspective remains the same: Comprehensive perceptions are inclusive, not polarized in either of the warring medical camps [traditional or functional] and are in the best interest of the most advanced, most precise, most predictable patient care. Let's get past binary thinking - it's boring. The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson Jeff's Outstanding Contribution In just a few short years Jeff has interviewed almost everyone in the ADHD community from thought leaders such as Hallowell and Barkley to the living experiences of coaches and clients. He connects researchers with Main Street experiences, always chasing data that works in the real world. We're on the same Path. Ed Note: On My Good Times With Jeff At first, Jeff and I simply bumped into each other at various meetings, from CHADD to the National ADHD Coaches Organization. I still remember very well how much we both appreciated Dr. Russell Barkley's remarks years ago when Russ added Brain Executive Function insights to the previous appearance-based diagnostic criteria still used as the standard of care today. We all know that 'Hyperactive,' 'Inattentive,' and 'Combined,' simply don't cover the complexity of executive function challenges. Brain function measures mark the essential reality of Executive Function Challenges beyond appearances. Precise target recognition matters for both providers and patients. Dr. Russell Barkley Weighs In Consider this: Barkley's insights offer more precise answers.

Dissociative Identity Disorder - Fusion Through 'As If' Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. ~ Signund Freud Dr. Earl W. Flora provides therapy in Williamsburg, VA, for all ages with a wide range of individual mental health issues, family, work, and related issues. His specialty is treating Dissociative Identity Disorder, and here he adds this interesting perspective to reintegration/fusion. Along with a full range of psychological issues, Dr. Flora utilizes a well-publicized but seldom used a single sentence to quickly assess & identify DID clients. In addition, he has developed an abbreviated technique for working with clients suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder by avoiding the use of abreaction to bring the personas together, without forcing them to relive the negative effects of the event that caused their separation in the first place. It's about time... time to recover. Only after spending 27 years developing and validating the technique has he published his book titled Then They Were One - Fusion Without Abreaction,  in which he describes his technique in great detail.  Additional Details Since you're interested here do listen to the two ART - Accelerated Resolution Therapy - Interviews below as they bring together additional practice recommendations/applications.

ADHD Kids: Challenges With The Law   While the CDC estimates that ADHD occurs in 10% of the general population, its prevalence in our jails has been estimated at 50% or higher.  Additionally, in about 65% of cases, ADHD is present with a co-occurring mental health condition.  Studies also show that inmates with related mental health conditions stay in the system between 5 and 8 times longer than inmates without mental health impairments. This is further compounded by the fact that the risk of substance abuse disorder doubles when ADHD is present and further triples when ADHD is present with Conduct Disorder. ~ Robert Tudisco Robert Tudisco - A Lawyer Experienced With ADHD Kids  Here Robert takes on many imperatives that surround ADHD children with legal issues  - and gives us hard, straight answers.

Street Wisdom To Overcome Mental Health Stigma Throughout our lives we all want to become part of the group, and stigma can arise from factors as innocent as your brand of sneakers. - Mike Veny He Started Thinking About Stigma Early Mike Veny’s path to becoming a public speaker became evident at an early age. He convinced the staff at psychiatric hospitals to discharge him three times during his childhood. In addition to being hospitalized as a child, he was expelled from 3 schools, attempted suicide, and was regularly medicated in efforts to reduce his emotional instability and behavioral outbursts. By the fifth grade, Mike was put in a special education class. Aside from getting more individualized attention from the teacher, he learned that pencil erasers make a great drumming sound when tapped on a desk. He had no idea that real drumming would become his career as well as his path to recovery for his many troubling experiences with repeated mental health stigma. Today his interesting perspectives help others understand the need for improved conversations about mind health and recovery. Note: This a reposting of a popular previous publication 2 years ago. His Current Mission With Stigma Mike Veny is both a leading mental health speaker and a high energy drum circle facilitator. He delivers educational, engaging, and entertaining presentations to meetings and conferences throughout the world - with an emphasis on translating thought into action. Mike is fiercely committed to wellness, suicide prevention, and helping people work together more smoothly. With 15 years of experience, his mission is to empower people to connect authentically wherever they work or live, from schools to corporate groupings. * Mike’s perspectives have been featured on ABC, NBC, and CBS news. * He’s a regular guest on The Fresh Outlook TV news show, * a writer for Corporate Wellness Magazine * HealthCentral.com * Mental Illness is An Asset * His compelling TEDx presentation below is used in college classrooms with excellent reviews. ------------- Mike Veny: Here At CBJ/313 I take drumming into my mental health presentations I bring people together through a drumming process I do have some "issues" from childhood "You never fail until you stop trying" Stigma arises from labels and a sense of shame We just don't want to be weird Once I got comfortable talking about myself my life changed What you can and cannot talk about His Website * www.TransformingStigma.com * Mike's TEDx Talk on YouTube: Mental Illness is an Asset References * Breaking The Silence: The Stigma of Mental Illness Polly Fielding - Global Amazon Link Previous CBJ Interviews & Pages - That Address Stigma In truth, every interviewer here at CBJ addresses the importance of underlying, overlooked factors that lead to stigma and labels. Inadequate diagnosis, those reductionistic labels, create treatment failure and open up the ignorance of blame. These several guests clearly focus on correcting that specific perspective.

Bullies Create Brain Damage Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke. ~ Benjamin Desraeli Dr. Jennifer Fraser earned a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and is a researcher, educator, and published author. Her latest book, Teaching Bullies, marks the first moment when she became both shocked and fascinated by neuroscience and the evolution of utilitarian mind-discoveries. Ever since reading six years ago about the harm done to brains by bullying - as documented and recorded on MRI and fMRI - she has made it her mission to inform teachers, coaches and parents about the neurological scars that bullying or emotional abuse does to brains. The data is in folks, - it's time to take more decisive action. Republished from CBJ/244.

Residential Insights - The Quiet Revolution We care for kids from 6 to 17 in a residential environment with a variety of problems from misbehaviors at home or school - to suicidal ideation. At Barry Robinson we set plans from the outset to help each child achieve an improved sense of personal responsibility and self awareness in a balanced, caring environment. Our teams objective: to redesign the standards for residential care. ~ Robert McCartney Rob's Residential Insights - His Quality Care Mission As Executive Director of The Barry Robinson Center, a short-term 72-bed non-profit behavioral health system/residential program for both children and adolescents in Norfolk, VA, Rob sets a new, exemplary standard for residential care through improved residential insights. In this interesting episode, Rob discusses important details in the evolution of family-oriented residential care, including his innovative program to dramatically decrease physical holding and how he abolished seclusion as a means of child/adolescent management. You will appreciate hearing Rob's report on the evolution of his programs and how he manages to keep families together even though far apart. From the time they come in, he's planning on their going home. Ed Note: This is a republish of an earlier interview with insights about the evolution of residential care. Rob's Most Significant Contribution For years The Barry Robinson Center, here in Tidewater Virginia, only a few miles from our offices here at CoreBrain Journal and CorePsych, remained stuck in outdated thinking so prevalent even today in residential care facilities nationally. That world has changed. Their programs work with clients both nationally and internationally. Succinctly, Rob's treatment mission connects both individual/personal values with family evolution in innovated connected ways that help with the transition back home. Rob's leadership coupled with his excellent team, as you will hear in this CBJ/309 Episode, brings an explicit, deeper, more thoughtful treatment mission to an already remarkable campus.

Home Toxins Can Contribute To Your Chronic Illness Through deep ongoing research, I found the one link causing unexplained symptoms, chronic disease and pain - and also a way to reverse them. The impact toxins are having on our health are devastating - however, the reversal is astounding. ~ Dr. Joe Pizzorno Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, Seattle - His illuminating Toxin Report here at CBJ/308 is mandatory listening. In addition to research and humanitarian reportage, Dr. Pizzorno is the President of Salugenecists, Inc. and Chief Medical Director for the well known Village Green Apothecary. It's a privilege to introduce Dr. Pizzorno to our well-informed audience, as he is one of the world's leading authorities on science-based natural medicine, a term he coined in 1978 when founding the highly regarded Bastyr University. He led Bastyr to became the first fully accredited, multidisciplinary university of natural medicine and the primary school of its kind to receive research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). [Previously posted at CBJ/103.] This CBJ interview with Dr. Pizzorno will firmly open your door for improved attention to a topic that should prove dear to every family globally: The Toxin Solution - How Hidden Poisons ---- Are Destroying Our Health. His comments here and in this new book will make you first go to the kitchen and then into your makeup drawer to check those labels. ...And he tells you exactly how to check product toxicity on an app! You will love this one; he's outstanding. But beware, his commentary might make you paranoid. Denial Action And, as you become progressively less shocked while listening, immediately forward this CBJ/308 to your family and friends who, for their longevity and health, must clean up their toxin-denial. Pizzorno's exemplary toxin research and clinical experience illuminate the unseen damaging toxic molecular realities all of us face as we continue to produce and use more of these products over time. His Comprehensive Experience He served as chairman of the American Public Health Association SPIG on CAM from 1999 to 2001.

She received the B.S. degree in Biophysics in 1968, the M.S. and E.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1980, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1985, all from MIT. In this CBJ Episode, she details profound contributions regarding the glyphosate contribution to today's health care crisis. Ed. Note: This is a republish of an exceedingly important report from a global thought leader on the origins of autism, ASD, PDD. For over three decades, her research interests have always been at the intersection of biology and computation: developing a computational model for the human auditory system, and an understanding human language so as to develop algorithms and systems for human-computer interactions, as well as applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to gene predictions. Seneff Reports Here On Glyphosate She has published over 170 refereed articles on these subjects and has presented keynote speeches at several international conferences. She has also supervised numerous Masters and Ph.D. theses at MIT. In 2012, Dr. Seneff was elected Fellow of the International Speech and Communication Association (ISCA). Dr. Seneff's Focus on Glyphosate Ubiquity In recent years, Dr. Seneff has focused her research interests back towards biology. Today she concentrates mainly on the relationship between nutrition and health. Her recent work on the ubiquity of neurotoxic effects from glyphosate provides specific references for the profound relevance of agricultural practices that directly contribute to today's health care crisis. Since 2011, she has published over two dozen papers in various medical and health-related journals on topics such as modern-day diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's, autism, cardiovascular diseases), analysis and search of databases of drug side effects using NLP techniques, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies and associated glyphosate toxicity.

Parent Alert! ADHD Parenting Evolves Dr. Sharon Saline, Northampton, MA, Sharon Saline, a clinical psychologist and author What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life, specializes in working with kids, young adults and families living with ADHD, learning disabilities and other mental health issues. The upshot of her work is the instructive guide for ADHD Parenting. Her unique perspective - as a sibling in an ADHD home, combined with decades of experience as a clinical psychologist and educator/clinician consultant - assists her in guiding families and adults towards effective communication and closer connections. She lectures and facilitates workshops internationally on topics such as understanding ADHD, executive functioning, different kinds of learners and the teen brain. How: Dr. Saline's Helpful Advice To Reconsider ADHD Parenting - The 5 C's Based on dozens of interviews from kids and families as well as clinical examples, this book shares the voices of kids with ADHD themselves and provides a parenting model that emphasizes practical approaches to everyday challenges and helps parents of all kids, not just those with ADHD. My approach for ADHD Parenting progress is called The 5C's of ADHD Parenting - it relies on: * Self-Control, * Compassion, * Collaboration, * Consistency, and * Celebration Why These daily practices reduce the frustration that most families living with the ADHD parenting experience. Kids with ADHD want to be included in discussions of plans aimed at helping them. When they don't feel heard or considered, they lack buy-in and cooperation. They need direct instruction to improve executive functioning challenges and usually can identify areas where they need help. Kids with ADHD want to be noticed for their efforts, not just their failures. They hear so much criticism that they don't believe feedback can be positive. It's often hard for them to get motivated or like themselves in light of the amount of negativity they receive.
