Preston Adams, a lifelong Aurora, CO native with nearly two decades in youth violence prevention, has worked across classrooms, gyms, and community programs to support gang- and system-involved young people.

In the first part of this episode we open with a powerful conversation unpacking U.S. Human Health Secretary (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s (RFK Jr), recent statements about autism which have sparked heated debate in the medical and parenting communities. From a recent YouTube video titled “Autism Science Leader Reacts to RFK Jr.'s Misinformation”, we break down the core scientific disagreements and examine what both sides are really saying. You can find the link below as well as a summary of their arguments. But most importantly we asked Dr Robert Melillo to weigh in and expand on the arguments being made. We spent about 40 minutes dissecting a 6 minute video so stay tuned.

Dr. Robert Melillo then discusses the complexities of autism, emphasizing the interplay between genetics and environmental factors. He critiques the notion that autism is solely a genetic disorder, arguing instead for a multifaceted understanding that includes epigenetics and developmental milestones. The discussion also touches on the rising prevalence of autism and the implications of environmental toxins, such as glyphosate, on brain health. In this conversation, Dr. Robert Melillo discusses the complexities of autism, emphasizing the distinction between genetic and epigenetic factors, the impact of environmental influences, and the importance of preconception health. He addresses the rising rates of autism, the multifaceted nature of the disorder, and the potential for treatment and change. The discussion also touches on the concept of functional disconnection syndrome and the need for better understanding and research in the field.
