Parents Often Miss Subtle Autism Signs
Parents Often Miss Subtle Autism Signs The symptoms of autism tend to emerge in children after six months of age, with a loss of social and communications skills that is more common and more subtle than previously thought, according to a new study that questions previous assumptions about the progression of the condition.
At six months, children with autism spectrum disorder demonstrated behavior similar to other children, gazing at faces, sharing smiles, and vocalizing with similar frequency, researchers reported online in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
However, autistic children displayed fewer of these behaviors as as they got older, and from six months to 18 months the loss...

Stroke and The Tongue
Stroke Identification
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this: -

Australian couple starved daughter, 7, to death
SYDNEY (AFP) — An Australian couple have been convicted of starving their autistic seven-year-old daughter to death after a harrowing trial which heard the girl weighed just nine kilograms (20 pounds) when she died.
Prosecutors said the emaciated girl had resembled a Holocaust victim, while ambulance workers called to the scene said she looked “mummified” shortly after her November 2007 death in the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney.
A jury deliberated for almost a week before finding the girl’s mother, 35, guilty of murder and convicting her 47-year-old father of manslaughter, national news agency AAP reported.
The pair, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had pleaded not guilty to murder.
Several medical experts testified the girl suffered...
Unlocking secrets of autism treatment
It's a disease with unknown causes, no known cure and treatments as varied as the minds forced to live with it.
Success for a person with autism can be measured by something as simple as being able to sit quietly through dinner at a restaurant - something it may take years for that person to learn.
And if one form of therapy is more successful than another in unlocking minds and personalities trapped by the ailment, executive director Frederica Blausten and her Association for Metroarea Autistic Children (AMAC) staff will probably be a part of finding it.
Autism is a developmental disorder "characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive or severely limited activities...

Autism Center must be saved
Quinn: Autism center must be saved By Adam Testa, The Southern
Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:55 PM CDT
CARBONDALE - Gov. Pat Quinn made his message clear within two minutes of walking into Southern Illinois University Carbondale's Wham Education Building, home of the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders.
"We've got to save the program here," he said, shaking hands with center Director Tony Cuvo before a news conference. "We've got work to do."
The autism center was one of many stops Quinn has made recently on a statewide tour of social service entities, a tour many of his opponents have called fear-mongering.
Quinn, who is promoting citizen engagement in encouraging legislators to approve a state budget including a two-year, 50-percent...

Parents of two autistic sons vaccinated one but not the other
Punch drunk as I am, required to read every alert regarding vaccine injury, I was struck by the facts issued on WKRG.com News 5. Reported by Kesshia Peyton, who interviewed Dr. Paul Offit, there is a surge of parents who are very angry at the diversion that anti-vaccine activists have created.
Tina Brown, mother of 2 boys with autism, decided not to vaccinate son Dylan because his brother Dalton had been inoculated and was subsequently diagnosed with autism. Sadly, even in the absence of vaccines Dylan demonstrated symptoms of autism at 4 months of age. (video interview here).
Mrs. Brown believes that there is great need for research in environmental, genetic, and DNA reasons for the onset of autism. She is part of a growing number...
Autism and Toxins
Dr Harvey Karp has just written an excellent blog beginning to discuss the role environmental toxins play in causing autism. I agree that the huge rise in autism is real, and not just related to better diagnosis or reclassification of mental illness. Autism is most likely caused by a genetic predisposition and an environmental "trigger."
Studies showing that vaccines and their many constituents do not contribute to this problem are flawed, filled with specious reasoning and, for the most part funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Even articles in reputable medical journals are often written by doctors with an economic interest in continuing the vaccination program's status quo. This does not invalidate all of these studies but it...

Fear is the force behind autism
Temple Grandin, renowned author and representative of the autism world shares her views on the mystery of autism spectrum disorder. I first met Temple Grandin nearly 20 years ago, as she was invited to speak about the very disorder that controlled her own life. A few years later I met her mother, whose tenacity and devotion to Temple paved the way to living with autism.
Temple's clarifications remain to this day to be the most concrete and reliable source for me. Autism is a maze, and perhaps only someone who can articulate what it truly feels like can make some sense of it. Reported by Argusleader.com, Ms. Grandin recently spoke at Augustana College.She reiterated her message at Augustana: "Fear is the main emotion in autism".

Tips on caring for a child with autism
Tips on caring for a child with autism
As doctors, families and schools learn more about autism, people living with autism have overcome obstacles to lead healthful, meaningful and productive lives.
However, a recent Easter Seals study found that parents of children with autism face a number of unique challenges. Nearly 80 percent are extremely or very concerned about their child's independence as an adult, compared to 32 percent of parents of typically developing children.
These parents also report they're "financially drowning," with 74 percent fearing their child will not have enough financial support when they die. Only 18 percent of parents with typically developing children share this same fear.
Fortunately, there are ways for parents...

Hand in hand with autistic kids
GAMAL Zahar, 18, taught himself to play the banjo. He hugs the banjo to his chest as he strums a tune. Although seemingly focused on his banjo, Gamal is also closely following the conversation in the room.
With him are Andrew Chew, 24, and Tan Seng Kit, 20. The lads sit patiently on their stools – being interviewed by the press is something they have to get used to as “stars”.
All three are autistic and will be performing at the Hand in Hand with the Stars concert, in which Chew and Tan will be drumming.
A group of about 10 people with autism, aged 12 and above, will be drumming at the concert. The lights in the theatre will be switched off and all the audience will see are the white gloves worn by the performers and the fluorescent drumsticks.

SOS! Autism Centre Closing Down - 14 June 2009
What is Autism? Kindly click here for google Information!
Both my sons are suffering from acute form of autism, and they have been going to this center for the past few months. This center was funded by a Kind Businessman via charity donation. Hence it has been offered as Free Service to those parents who cannot afford the full commercial service. I am one of those parent who need Early Intervention Program and cannot afford it.
The center was headed by a very experience teacher in autism management and intervention. He is a retiree and if he left this job I don't think he will be actively working for the good of autistic kids again. I want to secure his service and take over the operation of the center. I have the business experience and...

'Miracle drug' call Lupron
Autism drug Lupron: 'Miracle drug' called junk science
Powerful castration drug pushed for autistic children, but medical experts denounce unproven claims.
Desperate to help their autistic children, hundreds of parents nationwide are turning to an unproven and potentially damaging treatment: multiple high doses of a drug sometimes used to chemically castrate sex offenders.
The therapy is based on a theory, unsupported by mainstream medicine, that autism is caused by a harmful link between mercury and testosterone. Children with autism have too much of the hormone, according to the theory, and a drug called Lupron can fix that.
"Lupron is the miracle drug," Dr. Mark Geier of Maryland said after meeting with an autistic patient in suburban...
