    Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that begins prenatally. While many autistic people don't show clear traits in early childhood, signs usually begin showing up in the first few months to years of life.  If you suspect your child may be autistic, there are a few signs you can look for in early childhood that might point to a diagnosis. Yet, some of the signs and symptoms will vary from person to person with the diagnosis. There are two methods in this step-by-step audio comprehension guide and they are as follows: Method 1: Accessing Your Child at Home and Method 2 is Talking to your pediatrician along with some tips and warnings from an Aspie.

  • Understanding The Three Different Levels Of Autism [DSM 5 Series]

    DISCLAIMER: I am no medical doctor, I'm just your normal Jo Bloggs who's sharing her lived experiences with Autism that was called Aspergers. If you see any warning signs/symptoms that may be related to any of the topics I share as of in the future, please seek a second opinion or treatment with a  medical professional.

    Autism is a "spectrum" disorder, meaning that a person with autism can be mildly, moderately, or severely autistic.  What's more, while everyone with autism has certain core symptoms, many people also have additional intellectual or language impairments.  Since everyone with autism receives the same diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the creators of the official Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) identified three levels of the disorder, with each one requiring a different level of support. This helps clinicians provide a more specific diagnosis and also helps those involved in the care of people with autism have a clearer understanding of a person's limitations. The three levels reflect individuals' ability to communicate, adapt to new situations, expand beyond restricted interests, and manage daily life.  People at Level 1 need relatively little support, while people at Level 3 need a great deal of support. I shared more into this in the video. I talked briefly about How the Diagnosis of Autism Changed in DSM-5 and what it entails for the three different levels of autism of support and help that the autistic will need.

  • New Zealand Autism Spectrum Disorder Guidelines Overview for Professionals

    DISCLAIMER: I am no medical doctor, I'm just your normal Jo Bloggs who's sharing her lived experiences with Autism that was called Aspergers. If you see any warning signs/symptoms that may be related to any of the topics I share as of in the future, please seek a second opinion or treatment with a  medical professional. What I share with you in how I go about managing my autism will vary from person to person and that what may work for me, may not work for you and what will work for you may not work for me and vice versa. So, please be considerate while I give you all my advice and/or tips.


    The NZ Autism Spectrum Disorder Guideline provides evidence-based information for people on the autism spectrum, their family and whanau, as well as health, disability, and education professionals and social service agencies.  It includes information about good practice that is evidence-based and aims to improve the health, educational and social outcomes for people with ASD. As part of the implementation of the Guideline, the Ministries of Health and Education established a living guideline process to regularly update the Guideline to reflect new evidence and changing user needs. Since the living guideline process was established in 2009, Supplementary Papers have been published annually. These provide updates in areas of applied behavior analysis, pharmacological interventions, supported employment, changes in diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5, gastrointestinal issues, social skills groups, and cognitive behavior therapy. For health professionals: Early identification of children with ASD is essential – it enables early intervention and is likely to lead to better function in later life. There is no cure for ASD. Parents’ concerns about their child’s development must be taken seriously. Pathways for people with ASD to access assessment need to be clearly identified. (The Guideline describes some of these pathways.) Multidisciplinary assessments through specialist ASD services are the best way to improve diagnosis. Robust information on effective assessment and diagnosis processes for different age groups is needed. Health professionals assessing people with ASD need to be aware of effective assessment tools and the role of cognitive assessment. For the education sector: A single approach or solution is unlikely to ever meet the needs of all learners with ASD. Educators need to choose approaches that fit the individual and their settings, and need to be skilled in providing a range of interventions Strategies need to be implemented right across home, early childhood education, school, and community settings if we are to achieve successful outcomes for children and young people with ASD. Most overseas educational intervention programs are based on three broad approaches: discrete trial training (DTT) contemporary behavioral and developmental research findings developmental (social pragmatic) approaches. Some programs include elements of all three. No one approach has been shown to be more effective than another. Current special education practice in NZ emphasizes participation and development, rather than ‘fixing’ the child. Teaching children with ASD in isolated settings away from other children is not the best practice. Children and young people must be supported to use what they learn in more than one setting. The best way to achieve this is for parents, teachers, and peers to work collaboratively.

    If you have ever read the Diagnostic Manual for various brain-related things including Autism, Aspergers Syndrome, PDD NOS, and many others underneath the Autism Spectrum Disorders, the DSM 5, – which I wouldn’t really recommend unless you need to. It’s not exactly light reading and for the faint-hearted as a lot of research is done for educators, medical professionals, and many others. Anyway one of the criteria for a diagnosis of Autism is in the statement to what I am about to share here right now. There are cuter qualifying statements that are related to it and this statement that has been stated is this:  *Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts…  I talk about the diagnostics based around a statement along with what it entails with me as an Aspie for one to how it works and the importance on this along with many more thoughts to this.

    This is one of the many series of the DSM-5 I am going to explain to you all today. The autism diagnosis criteria are written for professional use and are therefore shrouded in mysterious and somewhat opaque language. In this video, I'm attempting to explain the DSM criteria for autism diagnosis (under the umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorder) which is used in North America and parts of Europe (the ICD-11 is a more international version, but it is largely the same for the purposes of autism diagnosis). I also shared some parts based on my experiences and struggles from some parts of the diagnosis process that it takes for us to get the autistic diagnosis.   To read the DSM-5 criteria for yourself: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/hcp...

    As shared I've also done a few series on my channel which you can find under the playlist DSM 5 Manual and the NZ ASD Guidelines

    So, come and join me and have a listen as I educate you all about this part of the series and more.


    Happy listening!
