  • Episode 9: Breaking down the myth of Aspergers

     

    Asperger syndrome, or Asperger’s, is a previously used diagnosis on the autism spectrum. In 2013, it became part of one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5).

    Typical to strong verbal language skills and intellectual ability distinguish Asperger syndrome from other forms of autism.

    It generally involves:

    • Difficulty with social interactions
    • Restricted interests
    • Desire for sameness
    • Distinctive strengths

      • Strengths can include:

      • Remarkable focus and persistence
      • Aptitude for recognizing patterns
      • Attention to detail

        • Challenges can include:

        • Hypersensitivities (to lights, sounds, tastes, etc.)
        • Difficulty with the give and take of conversation
        • Difficulty with nonverbal conversation skills (distance, loudness, tone, etc.)
        • Uncoordinated movements, or clumsiness
        • Anxiety and depression

          • The tendencies described above vary widely among people. Many learn to overcome their challenges by building on strengths.

          Though the diagnosis of Asperger syndrome is no longer used, many previously diagnosed people still identify strongly and positively with being an “Aspie.” This episode breaks downs the true meaning of suffering from this condition

        • Episode 8: The inspiration behind Band Aid
          Born in Ireland in 1951, Bob Geldolf had a couple of hits with his band the Boomtown Rats in the 1980s, but it wasn't until Geldof formed the pop charity Band Aid trust in 1984 that he became widely known. The trust raised $8 million for Africa famine relief through the release of the record Do They Know It's Christmas?. In 1985, Live Aid concerts were held in London and Philadelphia, raising an additional $48 million. Hear the story now and from Melissa & I we both wish you all a Merry Christmas.

          Depression is a more than just a bad mood. As I’ve mentioned above, it’s important for friends and relatives of those struggling to understand that people who suffer from depression can’t just feel better. People experiencing a major depression really need professional treatment. Depression is a mind/body issue and should be treated with the same self-compassion and treatment-seeking with which we would treat any major illness. The character Face of Boe from BBC's Doctor Who makes it clear that you never alone. Reach out and talk to a friend, work colleague or even a family member, reach out to others who seek guidance, do something positive today by sharing this Podcast with them.

        • Episode 4: The Inspiration of Steve Jobs
          "If it could save a person’s life, could you find a way to save ten seconds off the boot time? If there were five million people using the Mac, and it took ten seconds extra to turn it on every day, that added up to three hundred million or so hours per year people would save, which was the equivalent of at least one hundred lifetimes saved per year.
          As quoted in Steve Jobs (2011) by Walter Isaacson, p. 123
