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?

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?

Don't miss Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, the founder of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders answering viewer questions about engagement, sensory issues, middle schoolers and more! Tune in!

3:45 I'm so lucky to catch you on time 😆 I have a question regarding my niece . She 13 months and she's not banking baby words , not engaging with others, not walking and love the iPad most of the time.

9:30 Is there a place that we can send somebody to get training on how to do ABA?

13:45 what are your recommendations for parents with kid's going to middle school? Please I will really really appreciate your time. Thanks

19:34 Can generalization be used on similar situations of occurrence or on any general term.

23:00 Hi Dr. Doreen, there was a study published in JAMA Pediatrics regarding video-based therapy for infants suspected with Autism. In your view what does that mean for autism therapies and recovery?

25:25 there are major shortages of things right now since the holidays are around the corner and kids on the spectrum are fixated on certain toys and other things. what is your advice for these parents to help them with the shortages?

28:15 What exactly does Brigance do? If you can repeat? I went there and it shows different calculators. Which one I would use for the 13 months infant

https://www.curriculumassociates.com/products/brigance/brigance-free-tools

30:45 My son is 13 & having a lot of sensory issues. I blame it to his hormonal changes. Any idea how long will this last? (Inappropriate touching, bouncing, hyperactivity…)

37:12 This is a question regarding reinforcers. I work as a BT, and I've bought many many toys to use with my clients, but I am having trouble with my current client. The child is fixated with smaller than rice objects. She is constantly looking for tiny pieces on the floor. The child is very little interested in "typical toys". Do you have any recommendations of what I can buy or use as reinforcers?

45:08 Our neurologist prescribed this medication. My son started this when he was 7 years old, he's taking about almost 3 years now. He was okay taking this, but the problem is he was

Have a hot body that I was thinking fever. And He was taking a shower always for 3 times in one day. I tried to stop this medication, but behavior came back, he bangs his head, he kick us and pinching, and he hurt himself by slapping his hardly.

We started this from .30 up to 1mg.

He's in .25 right now because if he's in higher dose even in the middle of the night he wants to take a bath.

And again, I want to stop this again cause of he wants to eat and eat even very late at night he's gaining weight. He asked me to cook always. Until now he is nonverbal, I'm waiting for him to talk, my neurologist told me about its help for his communication the neuro.

My husband wants to stop this medication. Even my son is on GFCF

Still, he needs to take this that's we experience. I give him 2x a day for small dose and he was okay. No bad behavior but he took a bath always and eating a lot.

51:52 Very interesting, I am having a hard time teaching personnel space and keeping his hands to himself. Makes me wonder if I recorded him hanging on other kids, he would be able to understand what he is doing
