<description><![CDATA[In order to prepare for the meeting, parents must have an idea of what is to take place. Under the law, the IEP meeting is intended to 1) determine the present level of the child's academic achievement and functional performance, 2) develop a plan to meet the child's needs for the upcoming school year, and 3) to establish goals so that the child makes continuous progress over the coming year. Remember, none of this is written in stone and can be amended during the course of the year.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our experience with Asperger's syndrome, we as parents, have tried many different ways to reward our son's positive behaviour at school. We would take him swimming or to the park or maybe buy him a special gift. The only drawback in this type of reward system is, that if your child goes on a run of rough days in class, it's not fair to deny all the fun things you could do together.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Children with sensory integration disorder or sensitivities to light and sound, can resist going out for a walk, playing on the playground, and even going for a ride in the car. Sensory integration disorder is when the brain doesn't understand the information it is receiving from the senses and misinterprets it. When a child is sensitive to the brightness of light or sound that it is either too loud or high-pitched, they may overreact and exhibit a variety of behavioral challenges, such as crying, screaming, having headaches or stomachaches.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A classroom for children with autism should never be more than 4 students to one teacher and an aide. I am amazed that educational leaders do not get the attention those with this disability need to overcome challenges they experience in learning. The mass production concept in America simply does not work for those with learning challenges. Children get lost in the shuffle, act-out, daydream or simply stay stuck where they are. I work at a private special needs school where we do not believe in the sardine approach to education. I would encourage parents to demand small classroom size for their child with learning problems. Maybe the teacher will actually develop a relationship with the child, understand their learning needs and style and the child will actually have a chance to get what they need.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The myth that families of children with Autism have an 80% divorce rate was proven false by researcher Brian Freedman, PhD, clinical director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, as this article, Autism Families: High Divorce Rate Is a Myth, states. Despite the fact that parents of a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder experience more stress, the rates of divorce remain similar to those of parents with neuro-typical children. Unfortunately, that does not mean that parents of special needs children do NOT get divorced.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many other medical conditions may occur along with autism. These comorbid conditions are also important in determining the diagnosis of autism. The comorbid conditions may be used to indicate autism; however, they do not have a direct effect in causing disabilities associated with autism.

Like my Great Uncle Pat who was schizophrenic. He would think that loud speakers were going off in the city when they were not. He would think that the secret service was listening in on him at all times; he had issues with electronics of that time and may have heard voices from them. He had been a courier for the secret service and had actually suffered head injury during one of his assignments. At any rate, the local doctor was trying to make the point that Sarah could not be hallucinating but rather was delusional. His point was lost on me because cartoons have been Sarah's world, her society, for all of her life. She has not paid close attention to the paradigms of our day.]]></description>

In addition to this, an MRI will not reveal that the disorder is present. Interestingly enough, one of two things that typically occurs during the time of diagnosis is that it is diagnosed improperly or misdiagnosed as something else when the disorder actually is present in the child. There is also the issue of borderline symptoms of Autism.]]></description>

Primary care doctors are usually the first point of entry when there are any health concerns before referrals to any other appropriate health establishment if necessary.

<description><![CDATA[Considerations about my daughter's memory are difficult to express, except to say that for portions of her life the basal ganglia have been the bullies, and this is because her thalamocortical system (self) was hard pressed to know how to categorize all of the motor tapes that were sent along. Dr. Sacks points out that "...the activity in the basal ganglia is running all the time, playing motor patterns and snippets of motor patterns amongst and between these nuclei (aka motor tapes), they seem to act as a continuous, random, motor pattern noise generator. Here and there, a pattern or portion of a pattern escapes, without its apparent emotional counterpart, into the content of the thalamocortical system (aka self)."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A gluten- and casein-free diet is as much of an answer to autism and ADHD as a band-aid that is soaked in antiseptic, and blood-clotting solution is an answer to a bullet that causes infection and bleeding in the body. So, if one looks at some symptomatic improvement in both situations, autism and the bullet, and is happy to report it, there is nothing wrong with this, per se. However, if one assumes, in the process, that something of essence has been accomplished in autism, ADHD or in the overall health of this child, one has made the wrong...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In "Musicophilia" Dr. Sacks offers the concept that removal of normal auditory input might result in a hypersensitivity of the auditory cortex causing heightened powers of musical imagery -- and sometimes auditory hallucinatory process. Dr. Sacks' focus is with music and how it is utilized and occupied in the brain of neurotypical persons, many of whom developed their non typical and more fascinating response to music later in life. What is not lost where autism is concerned is the fact that many times sight perception, auditory perception, and other sense perception translates to unique and non typical understanding of life experience for many within the spectrum.]]></description>

One subject felt that he must not pay too close attention to the aural music, as he might not be able to escape the song -- like quicksand or hypnosis. It seemed to exert a frightening and almost dangerous spell on him, so that he was deeper and deeper into it.

<description><![CDATA[Genetically-conditioned differences in susceptibility of some children might make them vulnerable to devastating illness during the process of vaccination. One recent study, with regard to excess neurons present in those with autism allows for some important considerations. If there is indeed an autism subset with genetic factors that predispose them to have excess neurons, and if they can be identified as at-risk for autism via diagnostic imaging at an early stage in development, should these infants opt out of the usually prescribed vaccination schedule? Many research endeavors that strive for earliest at-risk autism detection allow for a mindset where those determined to be at-risk should opt out of the vaccination process. Will evolving understandings in causality variables result in a medical need for less vaccination, and how will this be tolerated by the "herd"?]]></description>

However, neural stem cells continually replenish and can differentiate into neurons. It is all in our DNA. The question that some are asking is if human DNA residuals, present in vaccinations as a result of utilizing lung tissues of the aborted, is altering the process of neurogenesis - after birth; this via homologous recombination done without intention during the vaccination process.]]></description>

It is not enough to simply read a report here or a not so carefully worded indictment there, and then make judgement based on a snippet - which is what a sensationalized media intermixes in reporting many times; I mean, don't just report the autism affected child missing, imply guilt with regard to parent or teacher, and especially law enforcement.]]></description>
