Episode #039 - Sia's' "Autism" and What Does "Autism" Mean Anyway? A Double-Header

For almost all of its history autism was considered a "pervasive developmental disorder." It involved serious deviations from normal development, serious impairments in communication, social relatedness and behavior. Academic papers often had a simple shorthand for autism: "devastating." But today, if you're quirky and anxious but otherwise completely normal, poof! you too can have "autism." In this double-header episode, Jill Escher comments on reports that the singer has autism, followed by an earlier recorded discussion with Dr. Lee Wachtel and Dr. Carmen Lopez-Arvizu about the highly diluted and trivialized term autism.Dr. Wachtel is the Clinical Director of the Neurobehavioral Unit at Kennedy Krieger Institute. Dr. Lopez-Arvizu is the Medical Director of the Psychiatric Medical Health Program at KKI.
