How lucky you are to have been blessed with two special kids!  That's
wonderful your older daughter realizes how much we can learn from our
kids.
Too bad so many adults can't be so logical.  Richie

The strange thing is the TEEN has been brutal to us lately and this was a
surprise to read on the computer.

Hi Richie,

I'll reset your bouncing status.

Hi Folks,

I'm less upset about the hacker since he hasn't
visited lately and there seems to be no damage.  I
still haven't got things set up to assure he won't be
around, but that should happen shortly.

This is good news.  Let us know when it is happening

My little angel has a behavior similar to the hair pulling. Ear feeling and
sometimes folding. The cartilage in my ears is broken at the point of
folding. OWWWW!
but it is also a calmative for him, so I let him do it.

Dave

OWWW! Is right.  I know if the little girl is playing with my hair, I let her,
if she pulls it I tell her gentle.  If she keeps it up, then I take her hands
away.  Her mom is an at home hairdresser, so some of it is imitation.  I am
going to encourage it.  But OWWW.. my ears hurt just thinking about that.

Hi folks,

Well, here I am - one of many suited people - but nominal Aspie along
with one or two others at this do.  Food's good, but is rather annoying
that Martijn's paper hasn't been released yet - would have been nice to
see it over a fast leased line.

MArtijn, any chance you could forward me the text of that doc you've
submitted, as it's otherwise going to be hidden behind a hell of a lot
of Shockwave stuff.

I've already suggested that email-based search engines be added, and
that users on store-and-forward links be considered.  I know the site
looks good - but it's only really responsive on a leased line.  Which
precludes a lot of low-earners.

Food's good - they've even got tiger prawns... and I'm currently
talking with Jane Asher! :)  Even ended up with a couple of two-shots
of her and myself taken while I was explaining about ADSL etc!

I've even been finding bugs on the site for RMR to fix... then again, I
*am* a techie...

Ah well - here I am, with a glass of wine, and there's another event
going on tonight that I may well come along to. Today's a fun day -
never thought that I'd be hobnobbing with the movers and shakers in the
autism community...

Alex, having a good day off work

Hi folks,

It happened today.  I should be sending a bulletin out with this batch
when I get home; am writing this in the Charing Cross Road branch of
Borders.  We were invited to the lunchtime event; there is another
cocktail-type thing going on now... but that would just be the usual
schmoozing bullshit.

Will tell you all about my day later.

If you want my opinion of the designers - they suck
its very good graphic design I will grant you but they are incompetent web
designers and programmers because they have no consideration for the average
internet user who wants information and not the look of it.
because it is possible to create this shockwave stuff they assume we
actually want it
an old fashioned html page with sensible hyperlinks would be so much faster
and so much more accessible
even my graphic overloaded site is more comprehensible than this over
designed rubish

Hi Jim,

You are still on as a member, but I made another
adjustment that might kick your subscription back in.
Let me know if you get this post from the list.  If
not then I'll email egroups about it.

I agree. as a closet webmaster myself, I think they need to follow the
k.i.s.s. rule for something like this. Leave the shockwave and java for mtv
and vanity sites. This is too important to use as a demonstration of web
skills. Less flash, more easy access to the content. Great idea, poor
execution

Check this out I don't believe in the use of meds unless really needed,
but I found the communication piece to very validating of FC in my son's
case. Barbara this might be of help to you and Laura. Jim

            Naltrexone Plus Communication Training Reduces Self-Injury
Behavior in Patients
            With Developmental Disabilities

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            WESTPORT, Sep 20 (Reuters Health) - A combination of drug and
communication
            therapy is effective in the reduction or discontinuation of
self-injurious behavior in
            patients with autism or severe mental retardation, Vanderbilt
University researcher
            Dr. Travis Thompson said in London at the British Intellectual
and Learning
            Disabilities Conference.

            Dr. Thompson and colleagues assessed for 3 to 4 weeks the
behavior of 29
            school-age children diagnosed as autistic or severely retarded
and then randomly
            assigned them to a weight-adjusted dose of naltrexone or
placebo.

            "There was an immediate reduction of 50% in self-injury
behavior in the children on
            naltrexone alone," Dr. Thompson said. An additional 50%
reduction in self-injury
            behavior was observed when communication intervention training
was combined
            with naltrexone therapy.

            For patients on combination therapy, Dr. Thompson reported
that "...self-injury
            behavior stopped in the vast majority." The researchers
observed no side effects
            associated with naltrexone treatment.

            "Self-injury behavior in patients with autism and severe
mental retardation can be
            treated and, in most cases, can be controlled," Dr. Thompson
told Reuters Health
            prior to the meeting.

            Meanwhile, Dr. Thompson's group has diagnosed sleep disorders
in 14 of 15
            individuals institutionalized for autism or severe mental
retardation with a pattern of
            self-injury. Dr. Thompson said that these recently reanalyzed
findings are leading
            his group to "...look at the relationship between serotonin
defect and self-injury as
            a possible explanation."

Hi Jim,

It's good to see science is catching up with what we
already know.  A few more studies like this and people
will be tripping over themselves to do FC or at least
augmentative.

Ditto.  Sometimes I just want to pull my hair and scream......I guess that
sounds a little autistic......but I really get frustrated hearing again that
it's the parents inability to parent that causes autism.  As a teacher I see
parents every day who do no parenting and their little children are
perfectly able.   Give me a break.  Mona
