Episode 6 - Elizabeth Horn - AI, Autism, and the Future of Personalized Medicine

What if the emergence of agentic AI can help answer the question of what causes autism? Elizabeth Horn joins us to share perspectives from a 30 year journey with her daughter Sophia, and how her experience inspired her to build new systems of support for autistic children at every step of the way. We discuss how behavioral interventions fail to address the underlying biological challenges which are different for each child and evolve over time. Elizabeth has had a front row seat to the evolution of the autism conversation over the years and shares incredible insights into how current technological advances with AI may be a pivotal point allowing parents and autistic individuals - of all ages and presentations - to find answers previously inaccessible. We discuss her project Count.ai and how understanding each individual, and the effectiveness of each intervention, is the key to finding answers for all of us. LINKS: Connect with Elizabeth Horn at [email protected] Elizabeth Horn’s “Finding The Words” documentary Sign up for COUNT.ai beta launch here2M Foundation Autism Impact Fund Brain Foundation Learn More: Rapid Prompting Method Radicle Science Book Recommendations: “The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How The Digital Revolution Will Create Better Health Care” by Eric Topol MD“Outsmarting Autism, Updated and Expanded: Build Healthy Foundations for Communication, Socialization, and Behavior At All Ages” by Patricia S.
