What does past trauma have to do with autism? Is Tamra saying her past trauma caused her to be on the spectrum ? I’m very confused with her inter-mingling the two.
It seems that she was trying to deflect attention from her behavior this season and when blurting out her "new diagnosis" back fired, she is now pointing to her 'trauma 15 yrs ago' (which would be when she was on the show the first time) ... 🤔
Thanks Zack 💔but you’ve expressed exactly what so many people deal with, not someone who’s just trying to be relevant for a pay check. It broke my heart hearing her use that as a cover for bad behavior.
She should be ashamed of herself for this. I think she SHOULD be canceled because this is just the latest of her bad behavior. She’ll do anything for attention.
Zach your pod on autism was so informative and empathetic. You are such a good brother. They have to stop using autism for their personality disorders. Keep up the good work.
My daughter has real sensory issues. Taking a shower is a challenge. She has to wear headphones due to sound overload. I don't get to hug my daughter due to autism. Those are just a few ways that it affects her everyday life. For someone who claims to have sensory issues, she causes a lot of over stimulation for yourself and others. I will believe her when she starts making actual changes. If she would just be accountable, it would have been good for her. She chose to make more excuses, and that is not ok for me. She is gross, and she has a gross behavior period.
Thank you for advocating for the truth & reality of those who actually ARE on the spectrum & their families. This term is being over used & doesn't excuse people being an asshole. As too many try to do.
Zack, you absolutely were not ridiculing or criticizing, but calling out something very important from an extremely informed perspective. I am glad that Tamra stepped it back and didn’t double down on what she said, and I give her credit for that. I think you’ve shown her a lot of grace, but more importantly, continued to be such a strong voice for individuals and families, and mental health professionals who are extremely frustrated with the tendency for the culture to minimize the significance of these issues.
I think that is the best thing that happened with this whole thing. If anything, he is getting a lot of views and people ar talking about it and he explained it very well. I feel that perhaps it did more good than anything else. Tamra needs to walk away from the spotlight for a minute and collect herself.
Something is seriously wrong with Tamra but it’s not Autism. I think it’s time she gets off TV and her podcast and focuses on getting some serious help.
This woman is blaming her total mean girl behaviour on this diagnosis, it's utter rubbish. I know people with Autism and they are not mean spirited, spiteful, insecure people like Tamra. These are NOT symptoms of Autism, just of a very unhappy individual that wants to make everyone around her unhappy too. She tells everyone else to take accountability for their actions, how about you Tamra? I'm not a fan of her but this has just truly disgusted me, she definitely needs help but not for Autism, for the despicable way she treats others and then hides behind a fake diagnosis when the world turns on her. Congratulations Tamra, you've made Shannon look like a saint!!!
It is on the same level as brooks! she would have had to have done countless tests, been monitored in person, and seen a few docs who are expert in the field before one is truly diagnosed. It can take years, not a one time visit and whomever told her that, needs to have their license revoked because that person knows you have to take measures before even mentioning something like this to a client. It costs thousands of dollars and a lot of time.
My 26 year old daughter has Rett syndrome, I know I say it a lot. And I am not going to apologize for that. It’s the greatest hardest and most challenging thing I’ve ever been a part of. It’s not autistic, but it presents similar. Often misdiagnosed!
Once again Tamra looking for excuses for her behavior. That’s Tamra all the time- she has become so un-believable at this point. I agree she needs therapy- and she should keep up with it. She just needs to stop trying to find excuses for her bad behavior. I just can’t with Tamra. Keep with therapy- take accountability and people will love and respect her more. Give Tamra time- eventually we are going to see medical reports backing her Autism- just like Brooks did. She is pushed into a corner now- just prepare yourselves.
You are so good at articulating your views which I couldn’t agree with more. I too have a close family member who is autistic. When I first listened to the podcast I immediately thought how irresponsible of her
Zack, I know how hard it is for you to keep doing daily posting - I'm just sending you hugs and think of you 🖤🖤🖤and thank you for speaking up re Autism, my best friend has it, he just lost his job bc of a ''misunderstanding''
Tamara will do say anything for attention. Now if Bravo fires her she will say it’s because of the autism. Sorry, but watched her too many years to not put anything pass her. Sorry, not sorry😊
Zach, I agree w you for the most part on autism spectrum. However not everyone on the spectrum is the same. My father has Asperger’s. His only sensory issue has to do with food textures and how it’s plated. He can be in rooms that are loud w a lot of ppl. But he can’t eat something if it doesn’t fit his texture criteria. He’s formally diagnosed and has all the markers of Asperger’s. He’s socially awkward. Can’t look in ppl eyes. Uses masking, etc. Amber B from MTV. The challenge is also diagnosed with autism spectrum and can also be in rooms with a lot of people and noise so please keep in mind that not everybody on the spectrum is the same. I don’t even like Tamara and be honest. I think she’s more on the NPD Spectrum, but not everybody with autism is the same.
There are other disorders that mimic autism - Avoidant personality disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Reactive attachment disorder, Social (pragmatic) communication disorder, Schizophrenia. One can't be positively diagnosed with autism by just attending one session.
I have a lot of these symptoms and I’m definitely in nervous system dysregulation but I am NOT on the spectrum. I have anxiety and panic disorder from childhood and bad coping skills as an adult. A therapist is NOT gonna diagnose Autism….my son went to 4 appointments, testing, and school evaluation before he got diagnosed with ADHD. Tamara was irresponsible as was her therapist to say on the spectrum. No doubt she has childhood issues, as does Emily and it takes ALOT of work to sort through that but do better with your platform
I do not like Tamra, but I will say my therapist told me the same thing. “I have flavors of autism” it’s not something I identify as but it does help me understand myself more. Her reaction is also understandable. When my therapist told me I had like a physical reaction that I can’t really explain! I am not a very emotional person but I couldn’t stop crying , It honestly made me feel like a stranger in my body like I’ve been a different person this whole time !I was angry and it made Me realize how Neglected I was growing up. I struggled in every single aspect of my life and it was so obvious ! I’m sure Tamra felt something similar. It was like 30 years of my life I didn’t know something so important! Even though I hate to be touched avoid eye contact cannot eat or touch or smell most things I can not tolerate. It isn’t picky eating andgetting annoyed it’s like I get filled with nervous energy and I can’t control how I react until it’s away from me! I am awkward , aloof, I avoid smlll talk at all cost nc I can see I am making them uncomfortable! Her whole life prob flashed by!
Zach, I can tell you were very affected by this situation and this video was probably hard for you to get through. This isn’t our usual Zach! I know this must aggravate you on such a personal level. I hope she isn’t using such a sensitive diagnosis to make herself seem less culpable for her actions. We love you! ❤
Zack's ability to tackle sensitive issues without sugar-coating them demonstrates not only his courage and authenticity but also his respect for his audience. I love your passion and drive to educate others about autism. Big love ❤️✌🏻
her therapist said ''it could be a sign or possibility ...'' and she just made up ''I'm on the spectrum ....'' - You will do assessments (!) and speak to a specialist diagnostic team more then one time over months, it is not as if you have a flu - gosh, does she think we are stupid? A lot of us have someone close who has autism!
Damn it! It’s the grand baby’s birthday! She is four!! Little libra, we call Lala! Anyway, I’m watching now!! Love you Zack. Thank you for your fantastic coverage. You brighten my day, and calm the mind!
You did NOT ridicule her in the least! I thought you handled this whole situation with class and intelligence. Once again, Tamara digs herself in deeper. Do not let those words or the pressure influence what you share with your listeners. Carry on! Good work.
I am 54 white women, recently diagnosed with CPTSD by my doctor & going thru a similar situation to Tamra, as the only emotion I seem to have is aggression. On the spectrum or not, she needs to get a handle on this. ✌️😊 kindness = benefit of the doubt. Love love love 🇦🇺
My nephew has autism, yes diagnosed. What I'm choosing to focus on is, more people have informed themselves about autism. Even if only to discredit Tamra. At least now they know a little bit more about it.
You said it perfectly! My son has SI (Sensory Integration ) and we went through hell finding him a therapist to treat him. Not only did he have to learn how to process information. He had to get 3 other therapist twice a week for years. She’s awful. 1 therapy session and she has . Please!!!! Then to try to get more sympathy by sending it to People mag. She’s disgusting. She has NO idea.
This IS getting out of control. Im 32. I grew up with a best friend who had a little brother (same age as my sister) who was autistic. He could barely function. Such a sweet kid, but would have to be taken care of like a child..for his whole life. Then I was put in DSS custody at age 16, and was sent to a boarding school with a whole house for kids, mostly boys, since I think its technically more common in? who had aspergers (I had no clue what that was before I went to that school) these kids ranged from pretty damn high functioning, to barely being audible. I lived with two girls for a year who had aspergers. I remember the first time someone told me that “because I was mentally ill I was on the spectrum” I’ve had friends that are grown women, just discovering therapy…speak about the “being on the spectrum” like its the same as a mood disorder, ptsd or anxiety. Its just not, and the more “the spectrum” broadens. the more excuses we give people who basically claim they “dont understand other peoples feelings” the more literal SOCIOPATHS, we have frolicking around this earth. As far as I was taught, people with aspergers ARE pretty high functioning for someone “on the spectrum” - is this gen z out here changing LGBTQ into a password, and dragging “the spectrum” to never never land?
There is a checklist for Borderline. Which honestly…I have (and thankfully dont have a lot of the same traits as Tamra) but by watching the show, since season 1, and learning Tamra’s life story. Is very likely for her to have. It would be a lot easier for me to get money to pay my rent from the state, explain why I acted like a monster to my loved ones, after being triggered.. not get up every day and practice skills to improve my life instead of becoming bitter and resentful…If I claimed to be autistic. or on “the spectrum” like Zack said about his brother “not being able to communicate properly and slamming his head into a wall” I have done that. many times. but because of the chaos around me, not even being able to BE HEARD. it was caused by PTSD. It doesn’t mean Im autistic. we as humans, are lacking self awareness 🤦🏻♀️
Negative attention seeking behavior. Tammy Sue was put on pause a few seasons ago for being so dark and toxic. I wonder if this is her way of excusing her bad behavior in order to keep her job
Zack you have shown so much grace & handled this great imo. I am sorry in all of the years Tamra has been on reality I do not ever recall her actually changing behavior after acknowledging a wrong doing. It’s always go harder the next time, it’s vile & I think people have just had enough of her BS hence the outrage! I am not about cancel culture but at what point when someone is NOT getting it do people have to say enough is enough?
She presents as someone with borderline personality disorder and ADHD. BPD is typical w past trauma. Hope she gets whatever help she needs as we’re all on our own journeys.
Think about this she is saying she wanted to take that podcast down. But the same day she did an interview with people out there. Ya ok. She’s totally lying and trying to set up a defense for her lawsuit with Ryan b
Yes but I STILL BELIEVE SHE SAID IT ON AIR BC SHE WANTED FAN SUPPORT AND SYMPATHY. NOT BC SHE WAS SO EMTIONAL SOMEONE WHO CANT EVEN MAKE THAT CALL. SHE DID IT FOR GAIN PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
Name one time when Tamra has taken accountability for her actions. NEVER. She deserves all the backlash she gets. Despicable person. Plz stop giving her air time. Eddie needs to RUN.
And ps Tamara is getting help by having 1 visit tell that when ur in it for a cpl months! It takes a medical dr to dx you with Autism!!! Im not about cancel culture, but im appalled by her saying she has something you dont have a dx from a dr! Its ridiculous
If it is true that Tamra is on the Autism Spectrum, that would go a long way to explaining her behavior. If she is not on the spectrum, but spouting that she is, it is just one more thing that shows she is unable to think before she speaks. Personally, I hope she isn't on the spectrum. Learning how to cope with that at such a late point in life would likely be very difficult.
I personally think this was completely irresponsible for her to even grab at this as a potential I think diagnosis. Stay off of WebMD, but she’s grasping for straws because she doesn’t have any more excuses for her terrible behavior. How about just own your shit and grow up
A Licensed Psychologist can diagnose an Autism Spectrum Disorder but not after one meeting. And to go undiagnosed for 60 years…. That’s a stretch. She’s using this as way to explain her bad behavior and that is wrong. Pretty soon all the HW’s who exhibit bad behaviors will claim they are on the spectrum. LOL
You can diagnose someone if you are a Licensed Psychologist. But there are test (both medical and psychological) that need to be done to rule out other illnesses, etc. A Licensed Psychologist can make referrals to Docs that specialize in this area to rule out other medical problems first.
Tamara is not on the spectrum of nothing she's just using it so she doesn't look like a bully and being mean to people she needs to go and so does the Lexus and then Heather will have nobody and then she'll have to fend for herself that would be awesome for next season
I’m sorry - it’s Tamara. I don’t have grace for her. It’s not like she’s just a lovely person who misspoke. She’s trying to save face (and probably her marriage bc Eddie looked pretty much over her).
My son still struggles with just going to a shopping centre with all the lights ,music, and crowds and has changed jobs so many times due to him being on the high spectrum years ago diagnosed with Asperger’s. Tamra is full of shit !!!!
I am confused , she said she went to therapy for the first time and got the diagnosis? But then she said she had a conversation with her long time therapist and is now when they tell you that you have autism sorry i don't trust her
Ive always like Tamara! But Not this Season. Im in medical field your therapist cannot diagnosis you, with Autism! And you dont get Austim from past trauma. This whole thing is ridiculous her therapist never should of mentioned autism! And you dont just get Autism. your born with it! Shes been horrible this season, getting alot of hate and did this to get out of it. she should get her hand slapped at the very least!
Zack, please go watch the prior seasons. This is a trend for her. She lives in a glass house and has been throwing boulders for decades. She needs Jesus … again.
I stand with you Zack.
Tamara does not think before she speaks. Period.
ME TOO!!
💯
I am not buying her story. If she's on the spectrum, it's for Psychopathy - not Autism. She's gotta go!
💯
She should have been permanently fired for her participation in an attempted sexual assault, naked wasted. SHE MUST GO!
What does past trauma have to do with autism? Is Tamra saying her past trauma caused her to be on the spectrum ? I’m very confused with her inter-mingling the two.
you are born with autism - fact
Exactly Autism and past trauma have nothing to do with each other!
She’s grasping at straws to get sympathy because her “bring down “ of Shannon backfired.
You never ridiculed her you gave her so much grace actually ❤
You are doing a great job helping people understand autism and why people are so angry. Thank you so much. ❤️
It seems that she was trying to deflect attention from her behavior this season and when blurting out her "new diagnosis" back fired, she is now pointing to her 'trauma 15 yrs ago' (which would be when she was on the show the first time) ... 🤔
Thanks Zack 💔but you’ve expressed exactly what so many people deal with, not someone who’s just trying to be relevant for a pay check. It broke my heart hearing her use that as a cover for bad behavior.
💯
She should be ashamed of herself for this. I think she SHOULD be canceled because this is just the latest of her bad behavior. She’ll do anything for attention.
I agree
Why is she allowed to call Shannon an alcoholic and a liar you get what you give oh thats right shes on th spectrum she has no empathy 😅
Everyone knew Tamrat would say that. Nothing will get her fired but I fired myself from watching ever again. Shesfucked up
Like you, I am not watching anymore either. Actually, I catch what’s been going on threw bloggers
I disagree with Zack. Bravo needs to remove her ASAP!! Don't be surprised, she will be the next one going after Bravo with some Frivolous lawsuit.
Zach your pod on autism was so informative and empathetic. You are such a good brother. They have to stop using autism for their personality disorders. Keep up the good work.

She is gross, and she has a gross behavior period.
Making a story line for next season can’t beat up Shannon no more for a story line
If you fire her now, she could complain that she’s in a protective class and cannot be discriminated for it. This is setting a bad precedent.
Thank you for advocating for the truth & reality of those who actually ARE on the spectrum & their families. This term is being over used & doesn't excuse people being an asshole. As too many try to do.

What did a pathological liar do when cornered? They deflect, and that precisely is what Tamra Judge is doing now, deflect 😒
Zack this after 1 session of Therapy at 60 years old??? Wake up Zack.
Thank you what the hell is he's talking about 😂
Tamara will do say anything for attention. Now if Bravo fires her she will say it’s because of the autism. Sorry, but watched her too many years to not put anything pass her. Sorry, not sorry😊
That’s the craziest thing I think I’ve heard today !
I really just want this all to go away, I am a real LVL 1A and this is beyond blasphemous! I am insulted and offended.
Zach, I agree w you for the most part on autism spectrum. However not everyone on the spectrum is the same. My father has Asperger’s. His only sensory issue has to do with food textures and how it’s plated. He can be in rooms that are loud w a lot of ppl. But he can’t eat something if it doesn’t fit his texture criteria. He’s formally diagnosed and has all the markers of Asperger’s. He’s socially awkward. Can’t look in ppl eyes. Uses masking, etc. Amber B from MTV.

OMG ZACk that is SUCH a good metaphor ! It’s not a zodiac sign it’s not a cosmo quiz. WELL SAID
Because for me, who knows little about autism, that put it in perspective
her therapist said ''it could be a sign or possibility ...'' and she just made up ''I'm on the spectrum ....'' -
You will do assessments (!) and speak to a specialist diagnostic team more then one time over months, it is not as if you have a flu - gosh, does she think we are stupid? A lot of us have someone close who has autism!
Damn it! It’s the grand baby’s birthday! She is four!! Little libra, we call Lala! Anyway, I’m watching now!! Love you Zack. Thank you for your fantastic coverage. You brighten my day, and calm the mind!
You did NOT ridicule her in the least! I thought you handled this whole situation with class and intelligence. Once again, Tamara digs herself in deeper. Do not let those words or the pressure influence what you share with your listeners. Carry on! Good work.

You've been very fair about this. You are so on point with all of this Zack
My nephew has autism, yes diagnosed. What I'm choosing to focus on is, more people have informed themselves about autism. Even if only to discredit Tamra. At least now they know a little bit more about it.
You said it perfectly! My son has SI (Sensory Integration ) and we went through hell finding him a therapist to treat him. Not only did he have to learn how to process information. He had to get 3 other therapist twice a week for years. She’s awful. 1 therapy session and she has . Please!!!! Then to try to get more sympathy by sending it to People mag. She’s disgusting. She has NO idea.
It's truly heartbreaking, the struggles parents face finding appropriate therapies for their kids with sensory issues.
She should be canceled and fired!!! No questions.
Excellent explanation Zack. Still think she was using this to make people like her better.
You did a great job explaining this objectively. Good work!
Thanks, I really tried to present all sides.
This IS getting out of control. Im 32. I grew up with a best friend who had a little brother (same age as my sister) who was autistic. He could barely function.

Omg redacted! When did this name pop up? I need all the deets ( episode ) loving it. Where is my popcorn 🍿

It’s always go harder the next time, it’s vile & I think people have just had enough of her BS hence the outrage! I am not about cancel culture but at what point when someone is NOT getting it do people have to say enough is enough?
You’re the best, Zack! Always the voice of reason!
My billionaire truth making your podcast is the highlight of the year.
Haha YES!!
How can this therapist diagnose her with autism, but not with alcoholism?
My problem with her is she is asking for understanding and grace, yet she doesn't give it to her co-stars or the people she slams on her podcast.
This is a difficult for me to take being that one my sons is struggling with his Autism at 28 years old.
P.S Eddie should have all the full knowledge of it all since their so so tight😂
She presents as someone with borderline personality disorder and ADHD. BPD is typical w past trauma. Hope she gets whatever help she needs as we’re all on our own journeys.
She poured the tea 🫖
I think Tamra is full of shizz, but......SHUT UP Vicki. Your FOMO is hilarious.
I also find it odd how she told Teddy and her podcast before Eddy. That says a lot.
My question is, did you ask Tamara all these questions while you’re trying to educate us?
Think about this she is saying she wanted to take that podcast down. But the same day she did an interview with people out there. Ya ok. She’s totally lying and trying to set up a defense for her lawsuit with Ryan b
Conserverterships are often unofficially done by a spouse.
well said. 🥂🤍
Not vicki seeing Tamara get her karma after how she acted over brooks!! 🫣🤦🏽♀️
Yes but I STILL BELIEVE SHE SAID IT ON AIR BC SHE WANTED FAN SUPPORT AND SYMPATHY. NOT BC SHE WAS SO EMTIONAL SOMEONE WHO CANT EVEN MAKE THAT CALL. SHE DID IT FOR GAIN PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
Caroline should have just kept quiet.....Dina is her sister and she and her husband were violently attacked!!
If I were diagnosed on the spectrum I would have been gutted not run off to do a podcast for sympathy.
Which is prolly why, when shannon was on wwhl and she mentioned it Andy tried shutting her up and says yea ok ok
I figured out then Bravo didn't care and wanted it to go away!
She hates labels but labels but is QUICK to labels others!
She has character traits of a narcisist...That's my OPINION!!
Name one time when Tamra has taken accountability for her actions. NEVER. She deserves all the backlash she gets. Despicable person. Plz stop giving her air time. Eddie needs to RUN.
I do Zack. Go Tamera
And ps Tamara is getting help by having 1 visit tell that when ur in it for a cpl months! It takes a medical dr to dx you with Autism!!! Im not about cancel culture, but im appalled by her saying she has something you dont have a dx from a dr! Its ridiculous
Ps ty for being so knowledgeable on Autism, and you cannot be dx by a therapist!
If it is true that Tamra is on the Autism Spectrum, that would go a long way to explaining her behavior. If she is not on the spectrum, but spouting that she is, it is just one more thing that shows she is unable to think before she speaks. Personally, I hope she isn't on the spectrum. Learning how to cope with that at such a late point in life would likely be very difficult.
I personally think this was completely irresponsible for her to even grab at this as a potential I think diagnosis. Stay off of WebMD, but she’s grasping for straws because she doesn’t have any more excuses for her terrible behavior. How about just own your shit and grow up
Btw im pretty sure a a therapist can’t Diagnose you with anything…I thought that was a psychiatrist
A Licensed Psychologist can diagnose an Autism Spectrum Disorder but not after one meeting. And to go undiagnosed for 60 years…. That’s a stretch. She’s using this as way to explain her bad behavior and that is wrong. Pretty soon all the HW’s who exhibit bad behaviors will claim they are on the spectrum. LOL
You can diagnose someone if you are a Licensed Psychologist. But there are test (both medical and psychological) that need to be done to rule out other illnesses, etc. A Licensed Psychologist can make referrals to Docs that specialize in this area to rule out other medical problems first.
Tamara is not on the spectrum of nothing she's just using it so she doesn't look like a bully and being mean to people she needs to go and so does the Lexus and then Heather will have nobody and then she'll have to fend for herself that would be awesome for next season
I’m sorry - it’s Tamara. I don’t have grace for her. It’s not like she’s just a lovely person who misspoke. She’s trying to save face (and probably her marriage bc Eddie looked pretty much over her).
Brooks is having a field day 🤯
“I’m not of the camp that she should be canceled”, ok well bye, she’s vile
My son still struggles with just going to a shopping centre with all the lights ,music, and crowds and has changed jobs so many times due to him being on the high spectrum years ago diagnosed with Asperger’s.
Tamra is full of shit !!!!
I am confused , she said she went to therapy for the first time and got the diagnosis? But then she said she had a conversation with her long time therapist and is now when they tell you that you have autism sorry i don't trust her
Don’t LABEL HER?!! AAAAAADAM?!! How about BACKTRACKER?!!!
T just keeps digging her hole doesn’t she
Tammy likes to tell people to shut up!!!! first Tebby then Shannon. aNow its time for You to shut up...
Is spectrum the new word for asshole? These ladies take the role of agonist way too far.
Past trauma~alcohol~bad behavior~alcohol~Maybe AA is needed..
Replay Gang🎉🎉🎉🎉
Shes 60 Zack! I dont think shes teachable but kodus to u!
Tamra 60 years old, how you just got diagnosed as being on a spectrum
Bs she should be fired & cancelled 🙄
Zack, why do you defend your friends that are known lying predators? Speak the truth. Tamra was not diagnosed and just wants to play the victim.
Ive always like Tamara! But Not this Season. Im in medical field your therapist cannot diagnosis you, with Autism! And you dont get Austim from past trauma. This whole thing is ridiculous her therapist never should of mentioned autism! And you dont just get Autism. your born with it! Shes been horrible this season, getting alot of hate and did this to get out of it. she should get her hand slapped at the very least!
Maybe drop the "two Spirit" jokes js 💋
I don’t make eye contact bc I’ll get into a Karen😂 like the other person will start shiT
Why didn't she wait for the diagnosis, she loves the attention.
Zack, please go watch the prior seasons. This is a trend for her. She lives in a glass house and has been throwing boulders for decades. She needs Jesus … again.
Brooks went all in, but it is STILL the same thing im sorry.
