PODCAST

From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism

I"m Ryan, and I have Autism. From the Spectrum is a podcast about Autism. I am on a mission to explain Autism. Autism emerges in human evolution as a biological adaptation, possibly through neuroplasticity, responding to environmental shifts that harness light’s energy for life. Maybe, people fail to understand how living organisms use the energy from light to drive biochemistry and organize our biology. For each episode, we will discuss various aspects of Autism. At times, we can cover lots of what

Autism and Parkinson's

From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism ·

2025/01/20

In this episode, we explore the connections between Autism and Parkinson's, focusing particularly on the basal ganglia and its substructures, notably the substantia nigra within the midbrain. We discuss how the substantia nigra, known for its high concentration of neuromelanin, plays a critical role in these disorders. The episode examines how neuromelanin, a dark pigment, not only absorbs all frequencies of light but also has antioxidant properties, binds metals, and acts as a neuroprotector. This

Please consider 1) Critical Thinking and 2) Curiosity as we travel upstream in the biological implications causing Autism. In addition, we will explore other common health conditions related to Light. These health conditions are dementia, type 1 diabetes, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.The episode will discuss light as an

From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism ·

2025/01/13

In this episode, we explore the Basal Ganglia. The basal ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei that play a crucial role in orchestrating movement. They are involved in what's known as the 'Go, No-Go' decision-making process, where they help decide whether to initiate or suppress actions. This region is critical where motivation translates into action.When discussing "motivations," we must be cautious; motivations aren't consciously defined by us but by our nervous system, which operates based on

The biology that gives us Autism allows us to be comfortable within ourselves.Our biology orients the Autistic towards our internal state. This is more comfortable for the Autistic in comparison to the outside world. In this episode, we cover brain regions, networks, and internal calculators. All humans use these biological calculators. However, based on the living organisms unique structure of brain regions and networks (connections), it is easy to understand why people are different.Epinephrine

Understanding the roles of Thyroid with Autism & Parkinson's, and what is the missing link.Research misses the link. Do not rely on research to connect these conditions and point to the real cause. Both, Autism and Parkinson's, have two major factors, 1) clocked timing and 2) A loss of, or a lack of, energy.Two Questions are asked:1) What do you think Neuromelanin is?2) What do you think Light is?Maternal health and preconception testing for Autism https://youtube.com/shorts/C2yhaPoWdIYIodine:

Consider how the autistic phenotype might be judged. We spend more time in educational settings, but our interactions extend beyond these environments. Humans are social creatures, and we need to understand what individuals are trying to accomplish, especially in social settings. These two phenotypes show significant differences.

From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism ·

2024/12/26

In this episode, we discuss some difficulties with eye contact for the Autistic phenotype. Sensory processing and the rate of information comes fast, and this provides additional energy for an already challenging and exhaustive task. Humans are constantly extracting physical phenomena from the environment (sensations) and we process this information to inform our nervous systems (perceptions). Specifically in this episode, we discuss the differences between listening and speaking.X:

In this brief episode, we discuss keeping up in the classroom during teacher lecture. Specifically, we discuss the delays in sensory processing, taking notes, visual thinking, and some challenges with keeping up. This is a pressing issue for Autistics, and in my opinion, education needs to do better for the Autistic phenotype.
