  • Welcome to the latest episode of the Autism Weekly Podcast. This week, our special guest is Paul Constable, an optometrist, autism researcher, and a father with a personal journey. From coping with his son's autism diagnosis to breaking new grounds in autism research, Paul's life has been an unexpected journey full of inspiring perseverance and groundbreaking work.

    Paul's pioneering research primarily focuses on exploring the potential of retina signals in autism diagnosis. He has utilized eye signals and artificial intelligence to develop more accurate and faster diagnostic processes. This episode dives deep into his fascinating work, exploring the potential of the retina, an extension of the brain, as a source of tangible physiological markers.

    Listen to his personal account of raising a son with autism and his ground-breaking strategies for testing children with poor communication skills. In this episode, we shed a light on the hopeful future of autism diagnostics, the potential treatment implications, and the groundbreaking research that links personal experiences with professional passion.

    Discover the potential of using an electroretinogram (ERG) in investigating Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Paul's research has found distinctive retinal signals in children with ASD vs. ADHD, and unique patterns in children diagnosed with both conditions. His work is guiding the development of a device that could help parents, teachers, and clinicians monitor and manage these conditions more efficiently.

    The episode closes with an examination of the ethical and practical implications of artificial intelligence in diagnosing ASD, as well as resources available for those interested in following this transformative work. Tune into this compelling episode for a look into the future of autism diagnosis and treatment.

  • In this insightful episode of Autism Weekly, host Jeff Skibitsky and esteemed guest Dr. Matthew Wappet, Executive Director of Utah State University's Institute for Disability Research, engage in an illuminating discussion about reimagining the future of education to be more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. With a focus on autism, they critically discuss the current challenges and possibilities of special education.

    The episode highlights the pressing issues of incorrect societal attitudes, inadequate policies, and funding restrictions that often hinder the progress of inclusive education. It also examines contested topics such as the Individualized Education Plan (IEP), parental rights and responsibilities, and the frustrating legal battles parents often face to secure an adequate education for their children.

    Notably, the dialogue emphasizes the evolution and current state of inclusive teacher preparation programs, differing definitions of inclusion across districts, and the crucial need to allocate resources correctly to foster inclusive environment in schools.

    Delving deeper, the episode underscores the importance of inclusive education not just as a policy, but as a pivotal strategy for promoting social cohesion and an open-minded society. It also discusses the significant role of parental advocacy in shaping their children's experiences and the substantial benefits of inclusive practices for all students.

    In conclusion, the episode urges for stronger support, increased awareness, and widespread acceptance of inclusive education, envisioning a future that embraces diversity and recognizes every individual's potential.
