Hey all, Curbies are parting this weekend with passsage of a new bill in the senate for millions of dollars to go to finding a cure for Autism. Read about it...
I cringe at thinking I have a disease. There is a lady I know from when I ran a Parents of Autistics group back before I was diagnosed Aspergers. I can't...
I listened to this from the perspective of a parent of a child with Autism. Actually his DX is Aspergers Syndrome. He is 11 years old and I felt a mixture of...

... That's not really fair to the autistic, though, who after school gets plunged (nay - dumped!) into the Outside World totally unprepared. ... That phrase...
The primary focus of the bill's funding is going to research for a cure, unfortunately. This is not an education bill in any sense of the word. There are also...
... My family was really weird about my Aspergers. My father was AS as well. He also had a LOT of additional health problems. Brain Damage, low IQ, fits of...
My mother has come to be supportive finally, it is delightful. Of course we have lived 3 provinces away for 16 years. Recently though since my divorce and...

Yes you are right that was the way it was but it was only a short visit and she would be gone. It seems that things have changed for some reason. I told her...
I really hope any college students who are here take a close look at this. This is a real opportunity to change public perception about us and promote success...

I don't really have any answers about educating AS or autistic kids. Really, I have not clue what might have worked for me. Whatever might help, I do not feel...
... Well, I don't have any kids, but I've research enough to hear about things that really work. Like there are a couple of schools that are specifically for...
It might not sound like much, but that's fairly significant, given that most kids who are educated in out of district placements don't get half the education...
Since there's a higher than coincidental correlation between people on the spectrum and Pagans (or at least there seems to me), I thought some of you'd like to...
So far I have spent many hours talking about the bill on several different groups and I have come away feeling mostly like I don't know enough about it to...
Yikes. This is good reading for me today. My mother is coming tomorrow. I am already nervous... but not as nervous as I "should be", heh, heh. I have changed a...

... [ snip ] ... I tend to do a lot of small things very similarly to your "pegs" thing. "Pegs" = clothes-pins? But there are very many more OCD-style areas...
