Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr Luke Beardon : Autism + Environment = The Outcome
Q: How can parents help their autistic children understand their identity?
Start by ensuring the child can understand the concepts and motivation for the discussion; difference should be introduced positively from an early age.
Dr Luke Beardon : Autism + Environment = The Outcome
Q: What is autistic safety and how can it be beneficial?
Autistic safety refers to creating environments where autistic individuals feel secure, facilitating better emotional states and allowing them to thrive.
Dr Luke Beardon : Autism + Environment = The Outcome
Q: How did your theory of Autism Plus Environment Equals Outcome come about?
It originated from understanding that while you can't change being autistic, changing the environment can significantly affect outcomes.
Autism and AAC with Roseanne McQuillan
Q: What would you say to a parent considering AAC but hesitant due to fears?
I would say give it a go; it cannot do any harm and can create shared joyful moments.
Late in Life Autism Diagnosis with Rebecca Connor Wood
Q: What would your advice be if you could go back in time to the people that didn't really understand you?
To believe them, I suppose, is the first thing. Accepting that the child is in distress is critical.
