Autism Science Foundation Weekly Science Report

This is informative, the speaking is usually clear, it covers a lot of different topics, and is overall interesting. My biggest fault with it is the random songs at the start that grate on my nerves but that’s just my opinion

I have been listening to this podcast for years and I am so grateful for this resource as a parent of a boy with ASD. Alycia distills the relevant science news and explains it in a manageable yet intelligent way. I also must give her and this podcast credit for helping me make an informed decision on having a second child, which I did, and also the awareness of sibling studies, which I was able to enroll my second son in even before he was born.

The personal bias is very clear with the studies that are presented, as well as the "advice" given to those with ASD based on those studies. Rather than presenting the research on opposing views, it is stated that there's "no evidence" supporting these views. There are hundreds of studies that support opposing views, (especially on toxicity, vaccines, and dose dependent side effects) and this podcast is just another way to misinform people with the pharmaceutical narrative. I'm extremely disappointed. Please folks, seek MAPS physicians and those not pushing this narrative. There are real therapies that treat the underlying conditions. This is not "genetic"--it's epigenetic. You absolutely treat it. TACA is the nonprofit to follow. Not this garbage.

Thank you for this wonderful podcast! I appreciate how brief, concise, and information loaded this podcast is. I have listened to every single episode and will continue to do so.
