About this listen
Zandra Polard and an anonymous guest discuss autism, its spectrum, and misconceptions. The guest emphasizes the lack of definitive causes for autism, mentioning theories like paternal age and in-utero factors. He highlights successful cases like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, noting their high-functioning autism. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial, with treatment including speech, occupational therapy, and ABA. The conversation shifts to mental health, focusing on the use of Metformin for weight management in patients on antidepressants. The importance of self-referral for therapy and recognizing mental health issues early is stressed, along with the need for better communication among medical professionals.
