J.Olson Consulting

J.Olson Consulting Providing highly individualized on-site ADOS-2 and ADI-R Training, education & consultation in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders worldwide.

Started in 2000, J.Olson Consulting was started to provide training that is completely individualized, entirely suited to the needs of sites we train, and with a depth & quality of detail that exceeds industry standards. As a certified independent trainer of the ADI-R, ADOS, ADOS-2 and ADOS-Toddler, I have provided over 250 on-site clinical and research trainings. These trainings have been conduct

ed across 5 continents (Asia, Australia, Europe, North & South America), in more than a dozen countries (People’s Republic of China, India, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Scotland, United Kingdom, Turkey, Spain, Hungary, Chile, all provinces of Canada, and the United States) and in a number of languages (English, Russian, Ukrainian, Estonian, Italian, French, Polish, Norwegian and Swedish). These experiences have challenged me to consider the complexity of culture and language in our understanding of the Autism Spectrum Disorder phenotype. My clinical and research interests focus largely on the use of these measures and their application in diverse populations; developing more culturally-applicable training methods & measures; and establishing methods of clinical and research competency that would improve diagnostic reliability.

A 23-year study shows that IQ alone doesn't dictate an autistic person's ability to learn daily life skills. Researchers found most participants developed practical skills matching their intelligence, indicating that autistic individuals can master independent tasks over time.

This afternoon, The Wall Street Journal reported that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will announce later this month that Tylenol has been identified as a cause of autism, and that a medicine derived from folate can be used to treat symptoms in some people. Any association between acetaminophen and autism is based on limited, conflicting, and inconsistent science and is premature given the current science.

Sir Michael Rutter, widely hailed as the ‘father of child psychiatry,’ was part of the team that first showed autism has a genetic component. He died 23 October at age 88.
