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". I have always...

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. Practice...
