Primer on Autism Spectrum Disorder

From the creator

Producer's Update After this livestream, we realized that some of the terms used in this stream are outdated or controversial. Chief among them is the use of "tantrums" instead of "meltdowns" and deficit-centric language (support needs vs functioning). We will do better in the future to examine the language and terminology used. At the heart of the issue is that the research and academic communities have not always respected the lived experience of those living with Autism, and the vocabulary around neurodivergence is evolving. Going forward, we are evolving our own research process to: 1) Look at lived experience as well as academic research 2) Be more receptive to live feedback (this is extremely difficult live, but we'll work on it) 3) Include more clinical and/or lived experience collaborators We also heard positive feedback from the HG Community (23K votes, 94% in favor of keeping the stream up). Comments noted that the information contained was helpful and explanatory especially for those early in seeking a diagnosis. We hope to followup with more depth using the improved process described above. We believe strongly in respecting the lived experience and individuality of our community, and all Healthy Gamer experiences (content, coaching, and community) are founded on bridging lived experience with high-integrity research.
