Dr. Walt Karniski, author of the new book ADHD Medication: Does It Work and Is It Safe?

Dr. Karniski is a developmental pediatrician trained at Boston Children's Hospital. He was director of the Division of Developmental Pediatrics at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, for fifteen years. He then opened a private practice and, for twenty years, evaluated and treated children with ADHD, autism, anxiety, learning disabilities, and other developmental difficulties. During that time, he developed and operated three private schools for children with ADHD, anxiety, and learning disabilities. Over the forty years he has been practicing, he has evaluated and treated close to ten thousand children, conducted numerous studies of brain activity in children, and has been director of a child abuse program and a program for enhancing development in children born prematurely. Dr. Karniski approaches each child as a unique individual with distinctive strengths and weaknesses, where the diagnosis does not matter as much as understanding the specific needs of that child. His new book is ADHD Medication: Does It Work and Is It Safe? (Roman & Littlefield, May 15, 2022). — From the publicist for Walt Karniski, M.D.

Michaell Magrutsche is truly a multimedia artist: a painter, photographer, music composer, digital artist, and author. A former Newport Beach, California, arts commissioner, Michaell promotes the value of public art. He is also the author of five books and a podcast producer.

Michaell describes himself as an "outside the box" thinker. He often explores the paradox of why 95% of worldwide artists exist at the poverty level. Why are artists expected to be proud of being poor? Without creativity, including the arts, there would be no man-made systems. Without art, there would be no world as we know it.

Michaell seeks to discover patterns within art that foster creative communication. He also identifies "art values" outside any system, which raises our human potential.

When advocates discuss Neurodiversity, we include ADHD alongside autism, and many autistics also have ADHD diagnoses. As this audience knows, my daughters and I all have ADHD diagnoses. Our struggles differ, however, because ADHD takes many forms.

On this episode of the podcast, I'm being joined by mental wellness advocate Carolina Gutiérrez. Carolina describes her ADHD as a superpower. She's harnessed her energy as a serial entrepreneur, health advocate, and counselor.

She guides business owners and seekers alike on the importance of intuition first, challenging you to think about work from the inside out. With her business & counseling skills, Carolina brings peace, time, and profits to business owners feeling overwhelmed.

As an implementer, with her unique ability to speak to the energy of business and feelings, she taps into the spirit of purpose-driven entrepreneurs to enable them to deliver on their promise to make the world a better place.

The back-to-school season is upon us. For our family, that means preparing paperwork for IEPs or 504 Plans. Yes, it's time again for the alphabet soup of special education jargon.

Your student with an ASD, ADHD, SLD, or ID might need an IEP with a BIP to ensure an LRE for the FAPE within a public school. Don't feel too bad if you didn't understand all of that.

How bad is the alphabet soup? A guide for parents provided by the Texas Education Agency, also known as the TEA, lists more than 120 acronyms used in special education. An appropriate response, when presented with this list, is W-T-F.

When you're the parent of a Neurodiverse student, your perspective on education is shaped by how difficult obtaining the legally mandated supports might be.

Perspectives on Neurodiversity vary based on our experiences. I am a father, a husband, and an autistic self-advocate. My understanding of Neurodiversity has changed as I keep learning from the experiences that come with those roles.

I am Christopher Scott Wyatt, creator of The Autistic Me blog, and for the last five years, I have hosted this podcast.

As I began working on season six of the podcast, I realized it needed a new name. What began as an effort to share my autistic experiences became a podcast about Neurodiversity more broadly. This podcast features discussions about the countless Perspectives on Neurodiversity, with The Autistic Me, C. S. Wyatt, as your host.
