My guest today is Dr. Kristen Lyall, ScD. Dr. Lyall received a Doctor of Science in Epidemiology from Harvard School of Public Health. During her postdoctoral training, she received training in Nutrient Science at Harvard and Pediatric Epidemiology at UC-Davis MIND Institute's Autism Research Training Program. Currently, Dr. Lyall is an Associate Professor at Drexel University's A.J. Drexel Autism Institute – Modifiable Risk Factors Program.
The overarching goal of the Modifiable Risk Factors program is to identify factors that can be changed to prevent or mitigate the adverse effects associated with Autism, thereby potentially improving outcomes for individuals and informing public health policy and practice. Dr. Lyall's expertise provides actionable tools for listeners to understand the environmental risks of Autism. By the end of the episode, we hope you gain insight into the identified modifiable risk factors for Autism.

In this brief episode, we discuss keeping up in the classroom during teacher lecture. Specifically, we discuss the delays in sensory processing, taking notes, visual thinking, and some challenges with keeping up. This is a pressing issue for Autistics, and in my opinion, education needs to do better for the Autistic phenotype.

For today's episode, we go back to the origins of Autism. It seems necessary because of the recent shifts in what is Autism and the confusion in the rates of Autism. Autism was here in the 1930's, and it magically showed up in different areas of the world. The two-part series intends to remember the phenotypes that appeared and became known as Autism and Asperger's.
It is my opinion, the recent shifts in defining Autism could be rooted in questionable intentions. Regardless, one goal of the podcast is understanding and explaining Autism. By the end of the episode, and by the end of the two-part series, I hope you gain understanding of the Autistic Phenotype.
If the children described by Asperger in Autistic Psychopathy in Childhood were alive today, they would receive a smorgasbord of diagnosis.

Helmuth's case with complications at birth, delayed development, obesity, and later sexual tendencies, linking these to environmental and light exposure changes.Common Features Across Asperger's Cases (00:24:49,600 - 00:26:29,720):
Summary of common traits observed across Asperger's 200 cases, including eye gaze issues, peripheral vision, and social interaction patterns.Asperger's Insights on Autistic Intelligence (00:26:29,720 - 00:27:37,760):
Discussion on the unique intelligence and original ideas in autistic children, introducing the concept of "Asperger's little professors."Reflection on Autism as a Phenotype vs. Disorder (00:27:37,760 - 00:29:12,680):
Historical Figures and Autism (00:29:12,680 - 00:29:41,480):
Speculation on whether historical geniuses might have had autistic traits, highlighting that autism could be viewed as a superpower in certain contexts.Conclusion (00:29:41,480 - 00:30:42,800):

Relationships are challenging.
In this episode, we explore some of the Autistic phenotype challenges in relationships. We discuss symptoms from criteria A are external and criteria B are internal, and how criteria B complicates the symptoms in criteria A. In addition, Autism is a comparison to social-norms, and this is a problem. Some environments/relationships discussed include peer-to-peer, romantic, and parent-child. To begin, we explain the mechanisms behind the speaker-receiver and the use of conveying speech in socialness.
Before we begin, we cover a brief explanation of Speaker-Receiver and human communication.

For today’s episode, we discuss Autism with J.D. Barker. J.D. is a New York Times and International Best-Selling Author. His debut novel, Forsaken, caught the attention of legendary Author, Stephen King, who allowed Barker to use one of his characters from Needful Things for Barker’s debut novel. His writing career took off with The Fourth Monkey, which drew widespread attention, leading to a series of auctions and pre-empts for its publishing rights globally. Barker's style often involves intricate plots that blend psychological depth with supernatural or crime elements, appealing to fans of both horror and thriller genres.
Barker's work expanded when he was approached by Bram Stoker's family to co-author a prequel to Dracula, titled Dracul, utilizing previously unpublished notes by Stoker. Barker is a frequent co-author with legendary writer, James Patterson. Listen to how Barker can create such vivid imagination with the characters he creates. In addition, Barker shares critical information on how he navigates such a prolific and successful writing career, often managing many projects with great efficiency. This episode provides critical insights on how the Autistic Phenotype can strive with their unique superpowers.

In this episode, we discuss Autism and the Default Mode Network. According to Lisa Feldman-Barrett, the Default Mode Network has many names because it has been discovered, named, rediscovered, and renamed many times. I do not disagree with the Science regarding Autism and the Default Mode Network. However, I disagree with the Interpretation of the Data. This IS our Default; our preferred state; the core of the Autistic Phenotype.
After listening to this episode and understanding B.3, you can understand MOST of Autism. The only reason you cannot understand ALL of Autism from these two episodes is the amount of Phenotypes branching off of B.3 and our Default Mode. Autism IS preference for ALONENESS and SAMENESS. This minimizes sensations and distractions that interfere with our internal world. This state is NOT abnormal, how society interferes with it makes it abnormal.
If you want more Autistics to ACHIEVE, then understand your interaction, interference, and interpretation of what YOU think Autism is, and that delta determines how much we are prevented in life. This, of course, becomes slightly different the more profound the Autistic Phenotype is with that specific person.
In this episode, we will explore the different brain regions and the goals of these regions as it relates to our phenotypes. We will get into some "Thinking in Picture" and thinking styles. This will be a good time because of a future guest on From the Spectrum Podcast discussing Autism and Creativity. This is exciting for me.

For today's episode, we discuss Autism with Dr. Yehezkel Ben-Ari. Dr. Ben-Ari is a pioneer in the field of human development with over five decades of academic and private research. He has over 520 publications with a strong passion for early detection and treatment of brain disorders. His work includes studying Human Development, Autism, Epilepsy, Parkinson's, and Brain Tumors. He is a leader in how science understands the roles GABA and Chloride during early development and the NCCK1 importer and KCC2 exporter during the Excitation/Inhibition shift.
In 1986, he led INSERM Neurobiology and Pathophysiology of Development before shifting to Start-Up private investigation in 2008. He is the founder of Neurocholre, B & A Biomedical, B & A Oncomedical, INMED, and IBEN. Recently, Dr. Ben-Ari has made wonderful contributions towards Autism identification in the Placenta using the work of "Neuroarchaeology" and Machine Learning. Dr. Ben-Ari is the recipient of many awards including Grand Prix de l'INSERM, Grand Prix European Society of Epilepsy, and Grand Prix Gagne Van Heck Belgian National Scientific Research (FNRS), to name a few. His book, The First 1000 Days, will soon have an English version. Treating Autism with Bumetanide is available now.

In this episode, we discuss eye-tracking as an early biomarker for Autism. Eye-tracking, on infants, improve assessment outcomes at young ages, as young as 14-months-old. Adding biomarkers to the assessment process is valuable, and Autism research is beginning to offer more biomarkers. We've covered biomarkers in cellular respiration, serotonin, two studies on 6-week-olds- 1) predicted profound Autism with brain cortical organoids and 2) salience network connectivity. Today, we review four scientific papers on eye-tracking being added to the assessment process.
A valuable consideration is the roles our eyes have on brain development, which we cover as well.

In this episode, we discuss the mitochondria. You know mitochondria as the "powerhouse" of the cell, but this biological process is biophysics meeting biochemistry. We discuss glycolysis, the TCA cycle (or Citric Acid cycle or Krebs cycle), and Oxidative Phosphorylation. This discussion goes deep inside the atomic molecular level with electrons and protons. Hang in there with the discussion and topic of Autism and understanding of the generational link to a loss of electrons.

In this episode, we challenge the modern trend of Autism and ADHD comorbid diagnosis. We will use children from Kanner and Asperger to show these so-called ADHD symptoms are simply parts of the Autistic Phenotype. However, society finds it easier to lump these two conditions together, and we question why. We review both, the inattentive criteria and the hyperactivity and impulsivity of ADHD and explain when the Autistic phenotype exhibit these conditions.
The criteria for ADHD are downstream behaviors seen across multiple reasons and act as a collect-all. I did not say ADHD does not exist, but I do say Autism and ADHD existing simultaneously seems unlikely if you really understand the phenotypes. Might it just be easier for society to lump these together instead of challenging the differences?
B.3 and Inattention are complete opposites. Hyperactivity and Impulsivity can show up when anyone is in the wrong or horrible environment.
