Check out this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen! Psychologist and BCBA Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh discusses Meltdowns, Depression and Neurotypical siblings! Tune in to hear what Shannon and Dr. Doreen have to say!

5:20 My autistic 11 year old will shut down often when he has a sensory meltdown or is stressed. Sometimes he will not talk at all for hours. Is this something normal autistic kids do? How can I help him? He will roll up into a ball.

23:53 My 3.5 years old son talking to himself in gibberish has reduced and now he has started using words I can understand even if it is directed to me. Does it mean there is hope for him to talk again?

27:35 I cry every night 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

31:15 We as parents have to get through the circle of depression before we can think of helping them.

43:23 My son is more affectionate than before his diagnosis. Do you know why?

46:35 Hello. I have a 10 year old boy with ASD and a neurotypical 6 year old girl. My son teases his sister every chance he gets. It's almost automatic. As soon as he sees her he starts right in making fun of whatever she is doing, wearing, playing, etc. Calling her a baby and other names. It's mostly verbal, but sometimes he even gets physical with her. It's difficult to stop him. We have house rules that they say no unkind words, but he still teases. He knows he loses time on the computer (his favorite) if he is mean to his sister, but he continues. It's draining. We need expert advise. Thank you!

55:42 My son was jealous. He would say that he wishes he had some autism so that I could spend more time with him.

59:29 Is Dr. Doreen accepting adult patients who need an autism diagnosis?

1:08 Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh on the Doctors!

9:35 What you should know about Pika

22:38 My four year old (with ASD) is pushing his 3 year old brother. Hard to the ground and worse he seems to like doing it. I am horrified and frightened. To add to the situation my mother in law saw him do this and is telling everyone in the family that it is because he has autism and no empathy. Help!

33:04 My son is one of those hard core cases. Everyday is a battle. He is 22. I feel like I have tried everything and that everyone has given up on us – on him and me. My choices seem to be to drop him off at a facility that I don't believe to be reputable or to simply take the chaos that is my life. We don't sleep. We live in fear of another out burst. He communicates with an ipad but it is not unusual for him to break his ipad. I have 4 in the shop being repaired right now. I don't believe anyone understands.

45:35 Where can I get information about which diet I should try for my 4 year old who is NV and has diarehhia every day of his life.

56:30 My 16 year old is mostly happy but when he is sad it is catastrophic, everything is horrible…it scares me. Then he seems to snap out of it but as he ages it seems more extreme and to last longer. Does the dr recommend meds

Has Dr. Doreen heard of Great Thunberg?
