6. "ASPERGER'S SYNDROME: A SPECIAL REPORT (Part One of Two)" transcript of
broadcast on 5 JUL 06 at <http://www.lcmedia.com/mind434.htm>
http://www.lcmedia.com/mind434.htm.

""Let's not use the word 'cure' if you don't mind... When you talk about
cure you imply that we're broken. I don't feel broken." So says Liane
Holliday Willey, a woman who not so long ago would have been described as a
"victim" of Asperger's Syndrome. It's been more than 60 years since the
Austrian doctor Hans Asperger identified the condition that bears his name,
but it has only been in the past decade or so that we have begun to
understand its broader implications. Asperger's Syndrome may be a part of
the autistic spectrum, but that doesn't necessarily mean that an "Aspie"
can't function in the world. In this, the first in a two-part special
report on Asperger's Syndrome, Dr. Peter Kramer talks with Dr. Simon
Baron-Cohen, a researcher at Cambridge University, on recent advances in
recognizing the condition. We meet Dr. Michael Fitzgerald of Trinity
College, Dublin, Ireland, a child psychiatrist who's made quite a stir
diagnosing Asperger's Syndrome among the dead. Then, in a panel discussion,
three adults - Liane Holliday Willey, Stephen Shore, and Michael John Carley
- talk about growing up as loners with Asperger's. Now they celebrate their
membership in the community of "Aspies." Finally, in a commentary, Dr.
Arthur Caplan, head of the Center for Bioethics at the University of
Pennsylvania, asks, "If you could go back in time and stop the birth of the
world's most famous nerd, would you have done so?" The program opens with
an essay by Dr. Peter Kramer on geeks, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy," and Asperger's. The absence of emotional reciprocity in a family
beset by the syndrome can be heartbreaking, Dr. Kramer tells us, but there
can also be undeniable benefits in having the condition as well. To explore
the complexity of Asperger's, Dr. Kramer talks with Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen of
Cambridge University in Cambridge, England, where Baron-Cohen is the
co-director of the Autism Research Centre. Dr. Baron-Cohen explains where
and how Asperger's Syndrome falls within the autistic spectrum, both
psychologically and physiologically. People with Asperger's have normal
intelligence and normal language; their difficulties occur in social
relationships and in empathizing with others. Yet coupled with their
narrowed range of interests, Aspies are generally extremely adept at what
Dr. Baron-Cohen calls "systemizing:" an attraction to and facility with
systems natural, abstract, and man-made. You can visit the web site of the

"Every child is different and no one knows that better than parents. So when
Kolette and Carl de la Cruz welcomed their two children into the world, they
knew each one would have their own special gifts and, as it turns out, their
own special needs. In three year old Logan's world - everything has its
place. If only his little sister Grace understood that. "She gets into his
things and makes him play." Logan once loved to play with other kids. But
that changed sometime after he turned 15-months-old. "I guess the best way
to describe it is that he slipped away from us." Suddenly, the child with
the dimpled smile wasn't looking at the camera anymore and his behavior
changed. "Why is he throwing temper tantrums all the time? Why is he not
interested in people? Why is he not talking anymore?" The answer, autism,
would stun Logan's parents. As they learned more about Logan's disorder,
they noticed something extraordinary about his little sister Grace. "She
knew all the letters of the alphabet, she knew the sounds they made.." By
16 months old, she could do all that and more. "I'm amazed because I feel
that Grace sometimes plays second fiddle to Logan, because Logan needs so
much attention and so I have a guilt factor." Now 19 months old, doctors
say Grace is three to six months ahead of where she should be for her age.
"Things that just come naturally to Grace, Logan has to learn step by step."

available this fall for adolescent girls, may face difficulties integrating
into existing healthcare, experts said Tuesday. The
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-200607
11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> vaccine, Gardasil, protects against
two types of the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-200607
11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> HPV): 16 and 18, which together cause
70 percent of cervical-cancer cases. In June the federal Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices recommended the vaccine be given to 11- and
12-year-old girls, before they become sexually active. "This is a tough
population to
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-200607
11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> vaccinate -- it's going to require
very unique approaches," said Dr. Thomas Wright, a pathology professor at
Columbia University, during a World

11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> Cancer Congress symposium. In
general, young adolescents have less access to medical care than children
and
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-200607
11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> infants, Wright said. Although
vaccination visits are recommended for this age group, many
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-200607
11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> pediatricians do not stress the
importance of an adolescent visit. It's also challenging to immunize
adolescents before first sexual activity, which averages 16 in the United
States. Studies have shown about 50 percent of girls will become exposed to
HPV within three years after onset of sexual activity, allowing a narrow
window for vaccination. In the European Union, school-based
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-200607
11-18002300-bc-us-cervicalcancer.xml#> health clinics have been
overwhelmingly successful in administering the Hepatitis B vaccine to kids,
reaching more than 80 percent of students. However, since the ACIP panel did
not make Gardasil mandatory to enter school, this approach is unlikely to
occur in the United States. To encourage the vaccine's adoption,
pediatricians may not describe the vaccine as an anti-STD vaccine but rather
a cancer-prevention measure, Wright said. Since the vaccine's announcement,
much attention has centered around conservative groups worried that an
anti-STD vaccine could encourage promiscuous behavior. But Wright told
United Press International people should be careful not to overplay
opposition to the vaccine, and parents should be aware it is an effective
choice. The vaccine has shown "spectacular results," and the side effects
seem negligible, he added. "Every mother in America should consider
vaccinating her daughter against this," he said. Gardasil can be
administered to women up to 26, as not all those who are sexually active
will get HPV immediately. Although the vaccine currently shows no benefit
for women who have already had the HPV virus, studies are under way to find
out whether the vaccines could prevent future infections. Twenty million
American adults carry an HPV virus at any given time. Most of the infections
clear without harm, but a few become cancerous, usually after a 10- to
15-year time lag. About 3,700 women die of cervical cancer yearly in the
United States; about 273,000 women die of the disease worldwide, over half
of them in the developing world. Wright also emphasized women should not
halt cervical-cancer screening, or Pap smears, once vaccinated. The duration
of the vaccine's protection may wane, and it does not protect against 30
percent of cervical cancers not caused by HPV 16 and 18. ..."

"The college classroom scene is a familiar one: young adults in flip-flops
and baseball caps, some scribbling notes, others napping. Evelyn Scruggs, a
student sitting near the front, is among the more attentive, filling an
entire page with notes. But, by the time she leaves, she won't remember the
lecture topic or one word she wrote. Scruggs, 19, has attention deficit
disorder and related short-term memory loss. Like everyone attending this
mock class, she's hoping it will give her tools to balance her disability
with her dream of a college degree. The students get pointers on navigating
wheelchairs over hilly terrain, finding note takers and deciding whether to
"come out" to peers about less-obvious disabilities - tips experts say are
vital as administrators face swelling numbers of disabled students. About 6
million Americans receive special education services, designated for
students whose mental or physical limitation affects their learning,
according to the U.S. Department of Education. Increasingly, such students
are aiming for degrees: 11.3 percent of undergraduates nationwide reported a
disability during the 2003-04 academic year, compared to 7.7 percent during
the 1989-90 school year, according to the most recent department statistics.
Special education has shifted over the past decade from getting students to
functional levels on basics like reading in favor of encouraging them to
move to advanced levels of study and tackle more complex subjects, said
Lynda Van Kuren, a spokeswoman for the Council for Exceptional Children.
"With special education services and transition planning, they are
succeeding at a higher level than ever before," she said. But college
challenges remain, from living independently, to coping with the sudden loss
of the family, teachers and specialists who have molded their educations.
Of disabled college students who began college during the 1995-96 school
year, only 15 percent had obtained a bachelor's degree by 2001, compared to
29.8 percent of their non-disabled peers, according to the U.S. Department
of Education. Nearly half of disabled students - 41.2 percent - dropped out
by that year. The remainder attained lower degrees or continued their
education. ..."

who just turned 9, would be a candidate for this vaccine, so I've been
mulling this over. A shot that protects against cancer sounds like a great
idea, at first. States may choose to make it mandatory, though the cost for
them to do so would be prohibitive. But let's think carefully before
requiring young girls to get this vaccine, which protects against a sexually
transmitted

intimate contact, of the kind that doesn't occur in classrooms. Besides, we
already know how to prevent cervical cancer in this country, and we've done
a darn good job of it. In the war against cancer, the battle against
cervical cancer has been a success story. Why, then, did federal health

young women against the

disease that in rare cases leads to cervical cancer? Vaccine supporters
say that some 3,700 American women die of cervical cancer each year, and
close to 10,000 cases are diagnosed. Cervical cancer has a relatively high
survival rate, but every death is tragic and treatment can rob women of
their
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/diseasesconditionsandhealthtopics
/infertility/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier> fertility. Still, you have
to see the numbers in context. Cervical cancer deaths have been dropping
consistently in the United States - and have been for decades. Cervical
cancer has gone from being one of the top killers of American women to not
even being on the top 10 list. This year cervical cancer will represent just
1 percent of the 679,510 new cancer cases and 1 percent of the 273,560
anticipated cancer deaths among American women. By contrast, some 40,970
women will die of
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/diseasesconditionsandhealthtopics
/breastcancer/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier> breast cancer and 72,130
will die of lung cancer. According to the

site, "Between 1955 and 1992, the number of cervical cancer deaths in the
United States dropped by 74 percent." Think about it: 74 percent. The
number of cases diagnosed each year and the number of deaths per year have
continued to drop, even though the population is growing. From 1997 to
2003, the number of cervical cancers in the United States dropped by 4.5
percent each year, while the number of deaths dropped by 3.8 percent each
year, according to a government Web site that tracks cancer trends, called

11. "Research links autism to brain abnormalities" dated 18 JUL 06 by Ian
Sample from The Guardian (UK) at

http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,,1823520,00.html.

"Autistic men have striking abnormalities in a region of the brain that
deals with social skills, according to research published today. Detailed
maps of autistic men's brains show they have substantially fewer neurons
than expected in a region called the amygdala, which plays a major role in
understanding others' actions and emotions. The finding adds weight to a
theory put forward by some scientists that stunted development in the
amygdala gives rise to autism. Further research is needed, however, to
confirm whether the lack of neurons is a direct cause of autism, or is
merely a consequence of it. Scientists at the University of California,
Davis studied the brains of 19 dead men, nine of whom had autism. Using a
technique called stereological analysis, they were able to count the numbers
of neurons in different parts of the men's brains and compare them. The
researchers found abnormally low numbers of brain cells in the almond-shaped
amygdala and a structure known as its lateral nucleus. "This is the first
quantitative evidence of an abnormal number of neurons in the autistic
amygdala," said David Amaral, who led the research, which appears in the
Journal of Neuroscience. Simon Baron-Cohen, director of the Autism Research
Centre at Cambridge University, said the findings supported the theory that
changes in the amygdala were associated with autism. "The amygdala is part
of a network called the social brain and it is involved in making sense of
other people's actions and interpreting other people's expressions of
emotion. It's a possibility that these abnormalities in the amygdala in
autism causally relate to their social difficulties," he said. "The caveat
is that it's possible these abnormalities may be a consequence of lack of
social experience, so we need more research to test whether this is cause or
consequence," he added. A recent survey found that autism and related
disorders affect as many as one in a hundred British children. Although
research published in 1998 suggesting a link between autism and the triple
MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine has since been discredited,
scientists remain unclear what causes the condition. ..."

12. "UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute researchers find fewer neurons in the
amygdala of males with autism- Study quantifies a neuroanatomical
distinction of the autistic brain" dated 18 JUL 06 in a press release from
University of California, Davis, M.I.N.D. Institute at
<http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-07/uocd-udm071306.php>
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-07/uocd-udm071306.php.

"Researchers at the University of California, Davis, M.I.N.D. Institute have
discovered that the brains of males with autism have fewer neurons in the
amygdala, a part of the brain involved in emotion and memory. The study,
published in the July 19 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, is the first
neuroanatomical study to quantify a key difference in the autistic amygdala.
David Amaral, research director of the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute, and
former graduate student Cynthia Mills Schumann counted and measured
representative samples of neurons in the amygdala of nine postmortem brains
of males who had autism and 10 postmortem brains of males who did not have
autism. Both subject groups ranged in age from 10-to-44 years at the time of
death. Using a technique known as "unbiased stereological analysis,"
Schumann and Amaral counted neurons using a computer-aided microscope
system. They found significantly fewer neurons - cells responsible for
creating and transmitting electrical impulses - in the whole amygdala and
its lateral nucleus in the brains of people with autism. "This is the first
quantitative evidence of an abnormal number of neurons in the autistic
amygdala and the first study to use modern unbiased sampling techniques for
autism research," Amaral said. "While we have known that autism is a
developmental brain disorder, where, how and when the autistic brain
develops abnormally has been a mystery," said Thomas R. Insel, a physician
and director of the National Institute of Mental Health. "This new finding
is important because it demonstrates that the structure of the amygdala is
abnormal in autism. Along with other findings on the abnormal function of
the amygdala, research is beginning to narrow the search for the brain basis
of autism." Now affecting 1 in every 166 children and primarily affecting
males, autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by
social and communication deficits. While autism has clear behavioral
indicators, the neural alterations leading to the deficits have been
difficult to pinpoint. In studies dating back to the mid-1980s, researchers
began focusing on the amygdala because of its importance in generating
appropriate emotional responses and assimilating memories that are key to
social learning - functions that are impaired by autism. "Previous magnetic
resonance imaging studies from several laboratories, including the M.I.N.D.
Institute, have indicated precocious enlargement of the amygdala in young
children with autism," said Schumann, who is now a postdoctoral researcher
at UC San Diego. "But these studies were not able to determine whether the
number of neurons were different in the autistic amygdala." Interpreting
these earlier qualitative studies was hampered because many postmortem
brains available for research were from individuals who had autism as well
as epilepsy, a condition known to cause pathology of the amygdala. ..."

"Kimberly Price went clothes shopping for her 2-year-old son Wednesday. On
Friday, her son Brice Dungan will wear the tiny black suit and tie she
bought for his funeral. "I just need him to be beautiful," she said. Brice
died of asphyxiation Tuesday morning at 10:26 a.m. at his Lake Forest Court
town home while sleeping in the living room with his 2-year-old sister.
Richmond County Sheriff's Sgt. Richard Roundtree said Brice's death is being
investigated as a homicide. Mrs. Price knows her son's death is a criminal
investigation - it's part of a week that began with celebration but turned
into a nightmare. On Monday, Kim Dungan, 36, married John Price, 43, an
administrator at Kimberly Clark. Heading to Augusta Marriott Hotel and
Suites for their honeymoon, the couple said, they left Brice and Mrs.
Price's 12-year-old, whom she described as borderline autistic, home with
her sister, Michelle Whitmore, of Aiken. Ms. Whitmore called the hotel
Tuesday morning and told Mr. Price that something bad had happened. The
couple rushed home. They found Brice on the couch. He was blue and not
moving, Mrs. Price said. She said she could see him through the swarm of
police, but they wouldn't let her hold him. The police explained that he was
evidence now, she said. The only two people in the townhouse with Brice at
the time of his death were his aunt and his sister, authorities said. Mrs.
Price said her daughter told her that she had placed a blanket on Brice
because his body felt cold. District Attorney Danny Craig said the
12-year-old is a person of interest in the case. "I anticipate there will
be criminal charges; the justice system is equipped to deal with issues such
as mental illness and incompetence. But the case has to be first introduced
to the system through criminal charges." The Department of Family and
Children Services also is investigating. Sgt. Roundtree said the department
is releasing limited details because of the sensitive nature of the
investigation. "This is a very tragic case."

"Single women -- mothers, grandmothers or female foster parents -- are the
chief caregivers for the nation's children with disabilities, and more needs
to be done to help them, a new study says. "In the patchwork of
arrangements to care for children with disabilities, we have to realize that
the system is also dealing with issues of gender equity," Philip Cohen,
study leader and an associate professor of sociology at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said in a prepared statement. The study was
published Friday in the quarterly Journal of Marriage and Family. Using
2003 census data, the study looked at 2.3 million children ages 5 to 15,
more than 130,000 of whom had mental disabilities, physical disabilities, or
both. It found that while 62 percent of children without disabilities live
with a married, biological parent in a two-parent home, only 46 percent of
disabled children do, the Associated Press reported. Single mothers cared
for 17 percent of children without disabilities and 24.5 percent of those
who were disabled. Fewer than 5 percent of disabled children live with a
single father, about the same percentage of on-disabled children living with
fathers, the report found."

News.com at <http://www.cellular-news.com/story/18342.php>
http://www.cellular-news.com/story/18342.php.

"Dr Richard Lathe, a specialist in childhood Autism, and former professor at
Edinburgh University is claiming in a forthcoming paper that incorrect
disposal of rechargeable batteries is one of the factors in an increase in
autism in the UK. Autistic children have been shown to have problems getting
rid of toxic metals - and those metals are increasingly polluting the
environment, says Dr Richard Lathe. "Think of iPod batteries, computers,
television sets and mobile phones - thousands of them tossed aside without
any thought to their proper disposal, " says the molecular biologist in a
recent interview. "If they are buried in landfill, the mercury in the
batteries leaks out when it rains, and if they are burned it goes straight
up into the atmosphere." Dr Lathe says the good news is brain damage caused
by metal can be repaired. "Chelation therapy, which removes the metals, can
significantly improve behaviour in autistic children." However the treatment
has become controversial after the death of a patient in the USA, although
Dr Lathe maintains that incorrect medical procedures were used. Dr Lathe is
the author of a recent book, Autism, Brain, and Environment. While nothing
in his book contradicts research implicating genetic vulnerability as an
underlying cause of ASDs, Lathe instead uses evidence showing autism is more
prevalent in urban than rural areas to bolster his contention that pollution
is a likely culprit as well. Lathe is also the founder of Pieta Research, a
biotechnology consultancy, where his interests involve brain research and
neuroscience, the limbic system, autism and Alzheimer's disease. He is also
the author of over a hundred peer reviewed journal articles."
