I found this years ago. The host has a child with autism. He interviews with many authors, doctors, providers and other experts about their specialty as it relates to autism. http://www.autismpodcast.org/
Sounds good. Thanks for the info.
For example I knew I was pregnant within a few days of conception, before I could test positive on urine or blood tests. I knew the gender of my children also. I don't respond the same to medications as do neurotypicals apparently. I was refused medicine for my first child because it would slow down the labor, but it was not until I received it that my labor progressed. I am interested in hearing your stories.
I did not know I was autistic until I was given my grandson with level 3 autism to care for last year. I have a lot of issues in and around medications and how they affect me. I have even talked… read more
I don't live in Michigan but . . .

I have a 17 year old who is high functioning. Perhaps Roserio, ibarnes and myself could communicate through this page? I would love to share my experiences with both of you.
I desperately need to connect w those who have adult ASD children. This is a whole new ballgame when drs consider them independent of you, even though they’re not. Also, all the other challenges of transitioning into adulthood.
We became our daughter's legal guardians, because she is has autism isn't high functioning, primarily non-verbal and is legally an adult. We are now in the process of trying to find a program or… read more
Despite the research that indicates that the neurosynaptic junctions of autistics function differently than those of neurotypicals and that we have sensorimotor differences as well, I am surprised at the paucity of research about pharmacological manifestations of autism. All my life I have experienced very different results from many medications. Now that I have also had spinal cord damage, I don't know for sure which are autism related and which are spinal cord related.
I require very low doses of some meds but extremely high on others.
