Wendy Chung: Autism — what we know (and what we don't know yet)

Duration: 15:35
Updated: 28 Apr 2014

In this calm and factual talk, geneticist Wendy Chung shares what we know about autism spectrum disorder — for example, that autism has multiple, perhaps interlocking, causes. Looking beyond the worry and concern that can surround a diagnosis, Chung and her team look at what we've learned through studies, treatments and careful listening.

What Causes Autism?

Duration: 11:47
Updated: 27 Jul 2014

We've established that autism is not a vaccine related illness. What exactly do we know about how it's caused? Scientists are currently searching for a unifying theory of autism, and the only thing that's clear so far is that it will need to be a complex, multi-hit hypothesis. This is a far from comprehensive review, just a few thoughts of mine. As always, the best advice is not to be found on the Internet. A licensed physician or health care professional is always better than a blog, vlog, or forum. 1. Lancet. 2009 November 7; 374(9701): 1627–1638.

Updated: 18 Jan 2013

Hey guys, here with a short video I made about what it is like for me to have an older brother with autism, I hope you enjoy it and see how blessed I am to have Mitchel as my brother. I love him to death and I want everyone to see how awesome our bond is! *note, every case of autism is different some more severe than others, not every autistic person is like my brother. This video speaks on behalf of my personal relationship with my brother. If any of you want to contact me or have any questions feel free to e-mail me at timmesc@dukes.jmu.edu I want to hear your stories about knowing someone with autism! The song used in this video is Always Gold by Radical Face, the song somewhat inspired me to make this video because it speaks of a tight lifelong bond between two brothers.

Bringing the Early Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorders Into Focus

Duration: 9:03
Updated: 11 Jun 2013

Tutorial On Early Signs of ASD: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, autism advocacy groups and researchers have all drawn attention to the importance of the early detection of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to make access to early intervention possible. The scientific literature indicates that the average age of ASD diagnosis is 4 years, despite the fact that about half of children with this neurodevelopmental disorder may be detected by age 14 months. The AAP recommends that ASD-specific screeners be administered within pediatric practices beginning at age 18 months. However, these screeners are imperfect and often require parents to provide 'yes' or 'no' answers to questions about the presence of certain behaviors. Yet ASD-related behaviors often present inconsistently, and are intermixed with behaviors seen in typically-developing children. In addition, ASD-related behaviors often differ from typical development in quality, not just in quantity. To improve recognition of the early signs of ASD among pediatricians, parents, and early intervention providers, autism researcher Dr. Rebecca Landa of Kennedy Krieger Institute has developed a free 9-minute video tutorial on ASD behavioral signs in one-year-olds. The tutorial consists of six video clips comparing toddlers who show no signs of ASD to toddlers who show early signs of ASD. Each video is presented with voice-over explaining how the specific behaviors exhibited by the child, as they occur on screen, are either indicative of ASD or typical child development. Dr. Rebecca Landa is the director of the Kennedy Krieger Institute's Center for Autism and Related Disorders. The videos and information presented within this tutorial were obtained through her research, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, focused on early markers of autism spectrum disorders and early developmental characteristics of children with and without ASD.

Broken Nights and Lost Days: Inside World of Severe Autism

Duration: 6:27
Updated: 20 Sep 2009

Warning: Severe behaviors shown. 2009 footage of California family raising complex, yet HOPEFUL case of severe autism and self-injurious behaviors. Extremely challenging situation requiring specialized care and expertise. Few experts understand this kind of autism. GENTLE, firm support, never meant to harm the person, always meant to protect. Please be aware there are ABUSIVE manipulative caregivers who should never be allowed to restrain an autistic person because they will ALWAYS take the restraining to an abusive level, instead of a helpful humane level. An abusive caregiver is hard to catch, so be careful who you hire to handle your severely autistic child. Update: Despite all the horrible things that have happened in this autistic person's life, he has made progress. He has a strong spirit. And people who love him.
