Interesting conversation with helpful perspective dialogue. Of note, the presenter is a student has yet to establish extensive real world Occupational Therapy practice and this should be taken into consideration. It would be interesting to hear from this individual after ten years of OT practice.

This is a MUST listen for anyone who is in the OT world. The Autism "umbrella" only gets wider as time passes, so no matter what specialty you decide to work in, you will encounter someone who is on the spectrum. This should be a required listen for ALL OTR/L and COTA/L programs.

It was a nice perspective. I feel like we are doing some of these things already related to sensory processing, such as providing ways for students to access sensory input within the classroom setting.

I appreciated hearing information from the perspective of someone that is dx as neurodiverse yet information was presented and used as testing items that suggest standardization versus individualism. I found the information generic and common sense from my perspective for those that are 'neurotypical' or 'neurodiverse' on autism spectrum. As with any person/client, individual strengths, differences, and presentations must be considered.

I liked the fact that the interviewer had some points of view that were a little different than the person being interviewed. It was helpful to look at neurodiversity from slightly different perspectives.

It is very important to re-assess old and develop new theories and practices constantly, particularly if they come from autistic individuals. At the same time, we need more research and evidence-based practice to see if new theories provide promising improvements on a larger scale. I am looking forward to following the progress on the next AOTA. The only portion of this course I have mixed feelings about is when Dr. Temple Grandin is mentioned negatively (in a way).

I loved the people-based approach and hearing concerns from an autistic person. Both presenters are empathetic to the populations they serve and I am interested in learning more about them. The podcast gave me a different perspective on things rather than a typical textbook approach which often lacks the input of neuro-diverse populations.

The presenter gave her personal experiences of having ASD. For example, suggestions on how to change the environment for the child instead of how to change a child with ASD. Also interesting info that sensory strategies/treatments does not always help/change the sensory system for many children. I was hoping it was. Will definitely be educating myself more in the area.

As a school based occupational therapy assistant I have struggled so much personally with explaining the concept of neurodiversity to teachers/ paras working with autistic and neurodiverse children on my caseload. This podcast help to support my beliefs that we are expecting to much change from the person and not enough change with the environment to assist the person be productive with their day.
