My first autism episode was by far one of the two most requested topics to date, and it was well received by all of you in the lovely Just Dumb Enough audience. But in talking to listeners, many people still wanted more. Something even more personal. So now I'm revisiting the topic with an all new expert and a different angle.
My guest today is Deann Hampton. Deann has been mother to two twins for 35 years now. Even though they are grown now; Deann had a rocky start to say the least, when they received multiple diagnosis at a very young age. The road was a hard one to travel, not knowing that autism was at the heart of the issues, and Deann got a lot of advice that did more harm than good. ( Www.DeannHampton.Com )
She covers some of the differences in diagnosis of autism and it's spectrum of disorders, as well as a rise of the neurodiverse population, and what parents may find to be helpful in their day to day. She also references some products, none of which are sponsors of this show, and also are not things I can recommend or advise on with any confidence. But that's why I have experts on the show and always recommend you leave here and research the things that interest you on your own.
This is a great standalone episode, but I also recommend checking out the first time we covered it on this show with Tobi Rates. That first interview covers a lot of the basic terms and conditions that come up in todays conversation that may be unfamiliar to you if you don't already have some level of knowledge on the condition.
Let's learn some tips and tricks!
I hope this helps those of you touched by autism in some meaningful way. As always you can reach out to me or my guests to learn more.
Now past the midpoint, here's our July rankings:
1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and Virginia (in that order) as the top states.
2. Canada, with Ontario dominating.
3. The United Kingdom, with England up at the top.
4. Egypt. Holding onto it's place tightly.
5. Australia, with a tie between New South Wales and Victoria.
That's it for this week! Have a great weekend and I'll see you all back here for the next episode!
