Re: [FamilieswithASD] Program on MTV about autism

Hi Julia!  Thanks for writing back.  Yes, I would appreciate your passing my email along to other people.  I joined the group hoping for support, advice and friendship (which I know I'll get)!   Ethan has been doing ABA at the Center in Fairfield since November and he has made so much progress.  They're a wonderful group!  Unfortunately, we couldn't afford to send him there anymore.  He is starting at the center downtown next week (ABS) because we could access the Autism Scholarship to pay for it.  I'm just having mixed emotions right now.  I'm excited about him starting at ABS, but at the same time, it was sad to pull him from preschool and the Center in Fairfield.  Oh, and the transition to a new school has been weighing on my mind (surprising, huh???)   Anyway, thanks again for writing back!  I hope all is well with Luke.

Hey, Tricia.  Greg and I did not use ABA but I do know of a few people who have and felt it was successful.  If you don't mind, I will send them your email and ask them to write to you about thier experiences.  Also, I know there is an ABA center downtown by Childrens, and they have the Autism Center in Fairfield which does the ABA approach. Also, if you go to the autism society of greater cincinnati website: http://www.autismcincy.org/feat_accept.htm  and go to their FEAT link they have a list of ABA providers and a tutor list.  I hope this helps.  Julia

Hi everyone! My name is Tricia and I have a 3 1/2 year old son with
autism. He will be starting at ABS next week. Just thought I would
post and see if anyone else is using ABS -- ANY feedback would be
appreciated.
Also, I wanted to tell everyone about a show that's going to be on
MTV on Sunday night. Don't know if it will be credible or not, but
figured it would be worth watching!

Here's a description of the show! Hope you can tune in! True
Life: I'm

Autistic About 1.5 million Americans are believed to have some type of

autism, a developmental disability that impairs a person's social

interaction and communication skills. Because of recent news stories
about

the rate of autism diagnosis rising to 1 in 150 births, this disorder
has

captured the media's attention. Yet to most us, autism is still
mysterious,

and we tend to keep people with autism at arm's length. Few of us
understand

what autism really means, and even fewer know what its like to live
with.

In this episode of "True Life," we get up close and personal
with

three young people with autism. Each is affected by autism in a
unique way

(autism is considered a spectrum disorder that affects individuals

differently and with varying severity). Yet they're all capable of
amazing

things.
