This group is for adults within the autism spectrum to share among professionals, psychologist, psychiatrist and educators,discussing the issues of autism from an inside perspective. It is crucial that both professionals and people of autism come to better terms of understanding each others roles in interventions, teachings, and the motives behind the interventions of people of autism. This list will hopefully help professionas within their clinical settings and or classrooms begin to understand the cause and effect and the internal reactions of people with autism from those various approaches used by professionals. My pupose for the list is to hopefully allow professionals a chance to learn how people of autism think and respond to life. The list is not a place for therapy, or to dispute ones thinking, but a way to learn from each other. None of the professionals on the list are to promote their business or work as in spam mail. People of autism here are not on public display and none of their words can be taken for personal gains, or copied without the consent of the individual person's permission, as well as none of the post here can be shared off list. This list is not open to PARENTS of individuals with autism,as we will not be discussing parenting issues here. This list has a set agenda for professionals and people with ASD to have a place to express themselves in a mutual way that is safe. Although, if you are a professionalwho works with people of ASD in a clinical, theraputic, educational setting, who also happens to be a parent of a child with autism then you are welcomed. ** A professional is any one who devotes most of their life work to those diagnoses with ASD in a clinical, theraputic, educational setting. If you are unsure if you meet the criteria please send a post of introduction and it will be detrmined if you qualify.
