Dear Subscriber,

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.

I have a few items to report:

1.  Just Published (Oct. '05)!  The newly revised and updated
328-page manual for parents and physicians, "Autism:
Effective Biomedical Treatments, by Jon B. Pangborn, Ph.D.
and Sidney M. Baker, M.D.  Earlier editions of this book have
revolutionized the biomedical approach to the diagnosis and
treatment of autism, PDD and related disorders.  This edition
also includes an extensive index.  To order this book, visit
ARI's website: www.AutismResearchInstitute.com

2.  We recently uploaded to the Internet the second recovered
autistic children video, which was filmed at our October, 2005
Long Beach DAN! conference.  The event featured Cindy
Goldenberg, and her son, Garrett, whose recovery inspired Drs.
Baker, Pangborn, and me to organize the first Defeat Autism
Now! (DAN!) meeting in 1995.  The video also includes 10
other recovered autistic children.  You can watch this truly
exciting video, along with the first recovered autistic children
video, at: www.Autism-RecoveredChildren.org

3.  We have also uploaded the presentations from the Long
Beach DAN! Conference, October 28 to 30, 2005.  The Internet
address is: www.DANWebcast.com.  You can view lectures on
cutting-edge of biomedical treatments for no charge in the
comfort of your own home.   The presentations from the Boston
DAN! conference, held in April, 2005, are still available on this
website.

4.  ARI has begun a study to identify effective -- and
ineffective -- treatments for high-functioning autistic
individuals and Asperger syndrome.  If your son or daughter
has been diagnosed as HFA or Asperger's, we would appreciate
your completing our treatment survey located at:
www.AspergerTreatmentRatings.com

5.  If you have not yet made a donation to ARI, please consider
making a year-end donation to help our efforts to fund
"research that makes a difference" on autism and to distribute
information on how best to treat autistic children.  The Charity
Navigator, the largest independent evaluator of non-profit
organizations, has again given ARI its highest rating, 4 stars.
We are the only autism organization so honored.  Our postal
address is: ARI, 4182 Adams Avenue, San Diego, CA  92116.
You can also make a donation using PayPal
(www.autismwebsite.com/ari/pub/paypal.htm).


Sincerely,

Bernard Rimland, Ph.D.
ARI, Director
San Diego, California
