I currently work with a girl who has autism and mental retardation, as well as some seizure activity. While I do not doubt that she is smart, she does not have...
Janna, Thank you for expressing your personal opinion, which I presume is largely based on your own experience and is in reply to the very limited information...
Hi Janna, It's understandable you having these doubts but many of us who have FC'd our tails off in bygone times have no doubt that what Ben says here is on...
Oh, this girl talks. She doesn't read (but loves to be read to and memorizes her favourite books). As I said, she has mental retardation. I didn't say she...
Hi Art, Ben,?Char, Tom, Janna First of all I certainly agree with Ben on the intelligence issue.?My own friends with autism have been quick to point that out....
Mary Ann, This is an excellent theoretical proposal for what is happening with severe auties. It conforms pretty well with what my auties said in the...
I was wondering the same thing. Are we maybe dealing with a difference in terminology between Canada and the U.S.? Or do you mean she tests in the retarded...
It could be either or both. The HFA boy I worked with had a "block" for some things. He was really smart in a lot of things, reading above his age level and...
Janna, Thanks for the excellent explanation. I am thinking that both of these individuals sound like many of the people who have been able to use FC to...
I don't think FC would actually work for L; as I said, I don't think we've come across her prime method of communication yet. I rather think it's beyond words,...
Hey there, Janna~ Long time.......You might be interested to read an article that Dr. Doug Biklen. Jamie had an opportunity to be interviewed within the...
I meant to have people join in the public open discussion on the autismfc group, but instead I have started an interesting discussion here on the autistlist...
This has happened to me with so many of the kids I've worked with, usually completely nonverbal. They stare deeply into my eyes (so much for poor eye...
The reason my message on autismfc didn't go to the full group is that I'm not a member. I'm not about to join a group just to post *one message*, but I felt...
Aye; I've said it before, and I'll say it again: eye contact doesn't need to be "taught" or "forced" - just develop an actual relationship with a person, and...
Janna, How about this? We like you and value your insights! Besides, the list is usually pretty quiet and you can always ignore the chatter that doesn't...
Has anyone on this list used or learned about this method? I am interested in learning something about it before I invest any bucks in it. An old ABA war...
Rose, I have used a similar process for years,? Like most individuals that support FC,?Individuals using RPM?seem unwilling or unable to answer the difficult...
Char, I am a little confused with your response to Janna. ? I showed you that the kids can receive information through non sensory channels.? I am not sure I...
Janna, I often ask myself the same question, but I hope you will stay.?Everyone needs to keep an open mind?and respect the ideas and perspective of other...
thanks, I am a total skeptic about RPM because I remember the story of clever Hans, and when I saw the footage about it on the news or whatever, I thought it...
various short comments (well, some may not be so short!) A. As I posted about one day ago in autismfc message #1742 and autismlist message #27007, "I have...
I just sent this email to Janna Hoskin: Janna, I think it is very important that everyone who wishes to help persons with autism try to work together and help...
Hi Rose, Rapid Prompt Method (RPM) is just one of the many styles of FC that the autistics themselves chose and those styles can change as you FC with them...
Rose, Autism at this moment in time and all time before this is BEYOND science. It doesn't matter whether you are trying to teach them to tie their shoes or...
The first link below takes you to a long list of prophecies that were issued in the mid-1990's, that have all come to pass exactly as predicted. It also...
Relax Janna, we all love you and have appreciated your work and participation here. As for why you are here, you sense as we all do how loving and important...
