Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders is back to answer viewer questions about dealing with change, automatic function vs sensory function and more! Check it out! 6:36 Dealing with Change here is a question, hope its a good one. one of my favorite restaurants is closing soon permanently. i am handling the change well. but how can i handle it better. and I want this to help everyone. 15:35 Screaming & Automatic Functions Vs. Sensory Function Hello, I'm behavior therapists, can you talk about screaming? Can be sensory or automatic reinforcement because no reason for that. 23:13 My daughter is currently in class for Autism and dyslexia formality and her professor is playing videos on how this works. His suggestion is a sensory room. What if you only have one room and an Autistic student main streamed with 30 other students. What can a teacher do to help that one? 25:56 How do we know when its time for aba to be over over? How do we know when its time for aba to be over over? My 6 year old has mastered almost all of the vb-mapp testing and we are talking about graduating her from aba but I am afraid of that change, as you just discussed. Our BCBA has told us to continue parent training for remaining behaviors and look into social skills classes or other group activities because those would help more than 1-1 adult therapy. 37:08 My 4-yo is doing well w language but he still sometimes zones out. Bc of Covid we haven't had an in-person eval. Could this be ADHD or is it autism making shifting attention tough? How to work on this? 45:25 My son was diagnosed with mild autism at the age of four. He is nine but he does not talk . Is there any chance he will ever talk, if yes what advice you can give. 48:11 I think I might be autistic but idk for sure I am so exhausted and tired, and I don't wanna hurt myself, but it seems like the only thing. The way I stim is by skinpicking my scalp and it sounds bad I don't know, and I am in a horrible situation and I try to cope by eating. Also, I asked this on another post but are there any autistic advocacy groups that aren't ravist? I am so scared, and I don't even know if I will. Am I weak? It feels wrong to be this vulnerable online cause I am scared someone will use it against me but why is the world so horrible to autistics like the fact that stuff like (tw aba therapy mention) aba therapy is legal and doctors you can't even trust doctors and the thing is diagnosis is so biased, so it is so hard to find others locally. People are just so, and I am so. I feel like everything I say will be taken the wrong way and even when I trust myself in a situation and I handle it in the moment it still replays in my mind and I don't know what to do. Can you even be yourself when you're in hell? I have a nonspeaking autistic sibling and it's so much worse for him and I don't know what to do. Also, I hate it when people ask me how I am then asking why all these terrible things are happening as if there is a reason justifiable enough. When someone asks me why my heart breaks because it means I have lost another person I could trust. And I don't hate being autistic, but my mind is so messy I don't even know how I am. It seems so normal to me but the fact that it's not to others is just so. I mean listen I don't get it. One time I did something i thought was normal (I knocked and asked if her water was working because she lives close by and my water does not work) and this lady I barely knew messaged my neighbor and called me "crazy" also I told her how old I was I am like a teen and she is a grown woman. I know I should trust but I have so much to lose if I trust the wrong person. If I hear another blame, I do not deserve I don't think my mind will cope. I will have to forget everything though it feels like I already have. I mean I will endure but how much will that matter if the pain swallows itself with other parts of my brain I need. 55:32 Greetings doctor. My 10 year old son has high functioning autism. He's starting to realize that he is in a special day class and that he is different from the other kids. I'm worried about how this will affect his psyche and how he see's himself. Any advice would be helpful.

Don't miss the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders answering viewer questions again for Ask Dr. Doreen! Dr. Doreen and Shannon discuss Anxiety, ADHD, ABA therapy and more in this episode! 12:17 Will my Child Benefit from ABA Therapy? Hi Dr. Doreen, My kid is Diagnosed with high functioning autism, will she benefit from ABA therapy, play therapy. Thanks for suggestion/advice. 14:09 How do you differentiate between a "loss" and a tragedy"? 15:41 HSP & Social Anxiety So I'm 18yo female and I have been months searching about autism and I'm pretty sure that I am autistic myself, and I feel so validated and relieved always that I hear experiences from other autistic people, but since March I had a depressive episode (which probably was caused by a burnout because I just finished high school and started University immediately) and started therapy with a psychologist, I reunited all of my efforts and asked her if I could be on the spectrum and she told me to reunite all of the traits I think make me part of the spectrum, when she read the list, she only said I was a HSP with social anxiety... This is what she told me when we just met, and she said that she doesn't like diagnosis because she believes it can make people restrict themselves to their diagnosis, I don't know how to feel, I can't stop crying while I write all of this, what should I do? Maybe I'm not autistic and just believe it to make myself feel better? 27:54 Is it Natural Behavior for Children to Throw Tantrums & Cry with ABA Therapy? Follow up: From various forum I read that ABA therapy involve placing instructions and some kids get very upset and tend to tantrum, cry. Is that a natural behavior any advice for parents? 37:30 I have been told I have HFA, I have worked in a laboratory as a Metrologist (scientist) and I have gotten bored. I have decided to become a lawyer. I am in process of doing this. I am finding this boring as well. My therapist told me that career change is typical however, I am having trouble sticking to it. is this HFA or my autism. I find it easy... just like school when I was younger 😴 (also I feel too embarrassed to tell my therapist because I don't want her to think she isn't helpful to me. because she is helpful) (Sometimes I don't tell her I have had a bad day because I feel like she would be upset.) ✅ ok I'm done. (36/f) Is this talk about low functioning autism? Are there cultural queues noted for nonverbal autism children or adolescent girls in particular? 40:55 What programs should I tell my supervisor to look into? Hello gorgeous ladies. Had a question I don't think that my child 11 sees the difference between adults and kids. For example when he talks to little kids the expectation is for them to talk back to him 🤦🏻‍♀‍how do we know how he perceives himself. What programs should I tell my supervisor to look into? 46:17 Autism & ADHD I have an extremely bright, but stubborn 8-year old boy with a new diagnosis of ASD level 2. One of our struggles is his hyperactivity (fast moving, loud talking, acting silly, not listening). We see it a lot at home and school was reporting issues with it at the end of last year. He gets a lot of exercise during the summer, but school is starting soon, and I know that it will be more difficult. Should we wait or be proactive and have him take movement breaks during his day? Also, he refuses to do any calming activity or swinging in his special swing. How do we convince him it will help regulate him? I 'm grateful for your show.
