I'm so glad for this re-drop. It is perfect for my Abnormal Psychology final project as I am unhappy with how the class presented autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder so I'm using my project (and all my discussion board posts) as an education platform. Now to go re-listen to the Disney and animation ones as I'll need them as well!
I don’t know if I’m the Jay that got the shout out, but I’m going to believe that I am because it brought me so much joy. This is one of my favorite episodes and definitely the one I’ve listened to the most. ❤️
Relistening again as I work on my paper and Angela talking about only drinking one kind of water and how all other water is undrinkable resonates so hard. I cannot drink water. It makes me feel sick to drink water. Which is not great when I have to drink to for medication reasons. Unless it is Icelandic water. That is the only acceptable water for me to be able to drink as just water. Everything else must have so much lemon or flavor of some sort that it cannot be identified as water anymore. And even then, it cannot come out of anything but plastic. Glass, ceramic, or metal just make water taste like dirt and mold and foot fungus.
Yes! Why do people say water is "tasteless"? Lately, I've taken to making up hibiscus tea concentrate in the morning and then putting a splash of it in my water throughout the day and it seems to be doing the trick...and that's the thing, isn't it? I really do have to trick myself into drinking water LOL
Hibiscus tea is my favorite!!! I've been a fan of the True Lemon packets because they are shelf stable so I can keep them in my bag for restaurants or on my desk. I also use the lime version in my tea.
This episode has become my comfort listen for when I'm feeling like no one understands what my family is going through. I can't possibly thank you enough for making your podcast, but I thank you just the same.
Also - I’ve been using a method I learned from “Low Demand Amanda” to help my clients lower demands on themselves and their children. Would this be part of the meat body maintenance phase or the autism centered phase?
I’m also starting to worry. I have read a few research journals now that claim to have bio markers for Autism. This is so they can provide “early interventions.” Sometimes I get overwhelmed that this fight is too much to handle.
I love that this was put up as a Fan Favorite. I am AuDHD and forgot it existed! LOL! I am AuDHD, my two kids are AuDHD and my husband is autistic. I am also an LCSW in CA and studying as much as I can to do AuCT. I find that it is super hard for me to get adults diagnosed. I know why. I want to become someone that can diagnose now because there is such a high need when it comes to me helping my clients get the accommodations they need and also for them to get disability for burn out or other things. My problem is, if I go back to become qualified, I will have to do fellowships doing the “bad” diagnosis. Is there any where for me to go to become qualified and to avoid having to give “bad” diagnoses to become credentialed?
I am continuing to come back to this episode. Bless the transcript feature as I scramble to finish the paper using it due tonight. But I have used the "no habits. only systems." to explain things so many times this week, both for things that work and why I just can't make things stick!

Kismet!!! I'm so glad you're using the project to advocate for better understanding! This is the way

Yes!!! Icelandic water works for me too!!!
GAH! I just realized that Icelandic water comes in a square bottle! It must be that. Square water just tastes better.
