This time on Ask Dr. Doreen, viewers write in to ask questions about skills, schools, ABA, Apraxia and much more! Tune in and check it out! TikTok: @AskDrDoreen Instagram: @AskDrDoreen 6:28 I'm 25 and have been fired from about 85% of my jobs or aren't rehireable. I've made money every year since 16, but through a lot of jobs. Sometimes only weeks or months at a time. I became an EMT at 23. I've gone through a few jobs since then. I also have PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, sleep issues. Likely Marfans or EDS as well. Waiting on test results. Before I got fired from my last job, I told them about my issues and how it affected my performance and how my boss had really made it difficult for me to succeed. . I even said I thought I had autism. HR lady said "My son has autism". I don't know what she meant by that. I often times miss social cues. I say what I think is acceptable, only to later hear that people don't like me because of it. I ask questions for clarity, and then people hate that. I have a higher-than-average IQ, but I can't seem to really do much with it. If I went to try and get disability, do I need a long history of the diagnosis? I've been in therapy for other stuff for years intermittently. I got diagnosed with autism the day after I got fired. Which was not even a month ago. I'm so mentally exhausted. I don't see how I can keep a job. I only haven't been fired from 3 jobs. 1 was when I was 16 and it was Wendy's and I didn't have it long before we moved. The second was a call center. The third was an EMT job that won't rehire me. Pretty much all my life people disliking me is a huge misunderstanding. They think I am condescending or rude. I try to help and they think I'm lording over and trying to be the boss. Etc. I'm about ready to throw in the towel. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to get the disability and how much they give you? Can you work even if you get the money if you find some place willing to work with you? What if I get the money but have my own business on the side? I want to sell crafts I make with my circuit, what I paint or make. TIA 14:02 Hi , I have a question how parents can learn or benefit through skills program is there a subscription and how can we avail it please let me know 14:51 I have a child on spectrum who once told she does the opposite or do not want to learn the things they are supposed to be done 23:45 Hi Shannon just a update: my 5 yr old nonverbal grandson has been excelling with Aba we found an Autism Academy here in Florida that has ABA on site he gets 35 hours a week he's working w/ Pec cards and pairing along with transitioning into the classroom to school it for anyone in Florida is livingstone's autism Academy he has a person assign to him all day. they also come to the home for parent training thank you guys so much for the content here on YouTube and sharing where and how we can get help 24:41 Thoughts on special needs boarding schools vs daily schools? 27:35 What are your thoughts about brain integration therapy, interactive metronome outcomes to improve focus and attention? Thanks! 37:37 What do you know about studies for pre-K in public schools for kids with autism? I chose to remove my 4 year old because after a month of Pre k he became extremely aggressive. I'm now trying to get him into an aba center since we lost his aba.

Join us as our host Shannon Penrod interviews the famous autism advocate and professor Dr. Temple Grandin! In this episode Dr. Grandin will be answering questions that our viewers wrote into our host! Tune in and interact with us LIVE while Dr. Grandin and our host Shannon discuss the answers and interact with our live audience!!! 3:41 What do you think is the recommendation for kids with ASD /ADHD to improve focus and attention or specific activities that will help, if not having meds as an option? 4:57 what are the best ways to teach job skills for people on the spectrum? 12:17 I have heard you say that you spun a metal ring on your bed and that you like to watch sand go through your fingers. What does that do for you? I want to understand why my son splashes water. 14:09 When you were in elementary, what were your challenges as a kid and how did you manage it, or how did the school help you? 15:46 How did you deal with bullies? 16:46 When you went to college did you have any accommodations, what kinds of accommodations do you make for your students, do you have students that are on the spectrum? 19:06 Which of your books should I read first? I am 22 and am autistic. 25:30 We are trying to teach my son the multiplication tables and I am not sure what to do. I had to memorize it as a kid, but that doesn't seem to be working, how did you learn it, and do you have any suggestions? 27:07 Do you have sensitivity to clothing? Are there somethings you won't wear? My son will only wear short pants and takes off his shoes whenever he can? 29:30 Did you watch Elon Musk and Bezos go into space; did you watch Shatner? What do you think? Do you want to go? Do you think they should be called astronauts for only going up for ten minutes? 32:36 When you visualize one of the buildings you design, do you see it from above first or can you see it from all angles at the same time? Can you describe your process? Your drawings are stunning. 34:22 You have said you have a visual brain are their other types of brains? I don't think my son is visual and I want to understand him. 37:30 Who have you been most excited to meet in your life and if you could meet anyone, who would it be? 39:00 Our son is 7 and loves trains, what can we do with him now to help him be ready to have a job? 42:05 Is there a children's book about Autism you recommend for us to read to our kids on the spectrum and their siblings? 43:56 How did you find out that you were on the spectrum and any advice on how to tell our 11-year-old daughter? 44:58 What does Temple love about teaching? How did she first begin to teach? 47:10 Do you have a best friend? What do you like to do with friends? How do you recommend we foster friendships for our 16-year-old? He likes cars. 49:36 This might be a strange question, but have you ever had someone doubt that you were on the spectrum? Our son has made so much progress that people often tell us that he must have been misdiagnosed but they have no idea how hard he worked. It's frustrating. 50:58 I am neurodivergent and I hate when parents find out – they stare at me and watch everything I do – and they ask stupid questions like "Do I remember my childhood" I find it annoying. Do you every get annoyed when people ask you stupid questions? How do you deal with it? 52:20 I am concerned about high school students who have lost so much in Covid, as a college professor I am interested to know what you think we should be doing to get these kids caught up and ready for college or jobs. 55:45 How many books have you wrote? 56:55 Parents of children how are highly impacted are asking for there to be a new designation for their kids because Autism is such a big umbrella, what does Temple think of that?
