Autism Talk TV - Ep. 16 - What's the Deal With Women, Fatherhood, and Executive Functioning?

[Njubish]

I can't recognize any symptoms of autism in either of these women... can someone explain this to me?

oops ... I should have run a spell check, the sentiment still stands! haha!! GO WRONG PLANET!!

It would be nice to see Neuro-Divergent on television, just normal, healthy and interesting people ASD people on TV. One day, neuro-divergent characters will just be on television and in movies and this won't be a big deal. They say "illness" movies and tv shows do not fair well, although ASD is only an illness to people who don't like neuro-divergent people. We have come a long way since the stereotypical autistic, one day we will simply be accepted and appreciated, videos like this help.

What a wonderful show you guys have. As a parent of a three year old girl on the spectrum learning how to live in this new world with my daughter,

Thank you.

Alex is a genuine hero, although Kirsten is the cute one!

Funny thing is all my friends are women. And I carry the conversation because some of them are shy. Woohoo! I totally beated the biggest problems of Aspies.

@UnbiasedIntellectual Threatening violence across the internet! Are you really that stupid?

You must have landed on your head when you fell out of your mother's huge gaping vagina.

[DougShatter]

@UnbiasedIntellectual Okay? So you're a Nazi son of an infected whore.

Sorry if I'm not the least bit threatened by European history.

[straightupmenace]

I hear aspies are more likely to be introverted, and are normally Intj's or Intp's

[DougShatter]

@UnbiasedIntellectual Your mother's anal warts is a disease sent by God to punish all us perverts.

Kirsten is so cute

[berlinbrown03]

I love it, none of them have strong eye contact. Yep.

[eastariel]

I want to be friends with that woman who's being interviewed. I bet the two of us could get talking for hours.

I'm autistic (Asperger's), and horses helped me a lot as a child. The horse I adopted helped me to break through my shyness and communication difficulties.

You all are awesome! Kirsten should have her own show. She is very smart. And jack and alex are fun to watch as well being so similar

[bucks614]

Kirsten needs her own show ... she is awesome.

[bucks614]

These are really great and informative.

[RubberWilbur]

Holy smokes Alex, hook me up with Claire Dumke!!!

80% of marriages fail when an autistic kid is present in the family? Geez, I don't how my parents cope, 4 of us out of 10 have aspergers (including myself) and my younger brother has low functioning autism. Then again both of my parents have aspergers, so its not so bad.

[hawkdreaming]

thank you... informative and fun to watch and listen to.

This is a wonderful. The honesty of the people interviewed just really helps you "go with the flow" of life. I read a lot, but seeing these people lay their hearts and minds out there on the table...being so accepting of themselves, their clients, their children is really upbeat.
