Autism

Autism Speaks doesn't have patients because it is a charity, not a hospital or care home.

Note: Autism Speaks is largely regarded as a hate group by Autistic people and their allies due to the harm they cause to Autistic people via propaganda they use to increase profits, due to the abusive treatment practices they support, also they support eugenics and genocide through supporting a 'cure'.

It can be discouraging to be in the special needs category at school, but what other things can you do to make your future better?

Having an IEP is supposed to help you through school, not hurt your chances for a better life in the future. Depending on your disability, there may be other ways to cope, but your parents will have to be diligent and perhaps aggressive in finding them.

In any case, like any other person, you have to have a plan to obtain training and skills so that you can hold a job, pay rent and support yourself as an adult. Ask your school counselor, check into the requirements of Job Corps, ask about obtaining a GED and so on. You should not plan to stay home and hang out.

Employers do hire Autistic people, however normally when they do they don't realize that the person is Autistic. There is a lot of prejudice against Autistic people so even in areas where there are discrimination laws in place Autistic people often cannot find work, Autistic people normally have to hide their Autism from employers to avoid facing discrimination.

No, the puzzle piece associated with autism is not copyrighted. It was originally used by the UK autism charity National Autistic Society and has since been adopted by other major autism organisations around the world.

Note: The puzzle piece is considered offensive by many autistic people because it implies autistic people are missing or a puzzle, also because of the associated with Autism Speaks which is widely considered a hate group by the autism community.

The Center of Disease Control's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network reported that the rate of autism in 2000 was 6.7 per 1,000 or 1 in 150. It is estimated that there are up to 560,000 individuals from 0-21 years old with an autism spectrum disorder in the United States (Center for Disease Control, 2007).

The largest autism forum online is Wrong Planet which was founded by Alex Plank, unfortunately the forum has been surrounded by contrivance over the years because it attracts a lot of people who claim to be autistic who are not and people who are unpleasant. Many autistic people refuse to use this forum because of negative energy within the forum.

I'm going thru this process now with my daughter who will be 18 in November. We went to a conference thru our local Family Resource Center where we heard information about trusts, wills and conservatorships. We ended up hiring the attorney that gave the conference because we trusted him and he also has a son with special needs. It runs about $1500 if you go thru an attorney. You can file a conservatorship on your own but it can be complicated and if you leave out a step it takes a lot longer to complete the process.

There are two types of conservatorship; limited and general. Limited is for those individuals that are higher functioning and can maintain some independence from their family. General is for those that are lower functioning and will never be able to make decisions on their own maybe because they can not speak or don't understand what's going on or for some other reason will not be able to speak or make decisions about their life, finances, etc. I recommend that you get a consult from an attorney who specializes in special needs law. There are many that will do free consults. I would use someone that you trust and feel comfortable with. Ask for references.

You can also ask other parents of special needs adults in your area where they went, sometimes you can network with other families via parent support groups in your area or by contacting your local Family Resource Center and see if they have a family network program in which they give out phone numbers of other families with kids/adults on the spectrum and you can contact some to see what they did and if they used an attorney, who they used.

There is no such thing as a person who can see the future, that is fantasy. Autistic people and savants are not psychics, they are just Autistic and/or savants.

Yes.

Well, i guess quite a few. Anyway I'm sure that there are many unidentified cases. On the other hand, there are also children with autistic features wrongly labelled with autism, which is indeed quite sad.

Sadly, UAE has few centres for children with special needs. One centre run by a very senior child psychiatrist, Dr. Philip John is in Sharjah, UAE- 050 9819676, 06 5626900

Yes! I have Aspergers and always suspected that I was on the autism spectrum. Formal diagnosis has since confirmed it. V briefly I strongly dislike social situations unless with people I know well; loud noises; lack of routine & spontaneity; responsibility for others; strong emotional reactions by others; etc. I like logic and order; and get obsessed with certain topics, which I read about/research tirelessly. Aspergers has as many positives as negatives, in my experience.

Quickly wet the stain the put some dish washing liquid on it. Rinse out in water after 30 minutes. Allow to dry in the sun. If stain is still visible after drying try vinegar on the stain, dry in sun again, and then wash. Stain should be gone.

Yes, its still possible, but it will all depend on how you conduct your interview. If you dont make eye contact, dont keep conversations together, or dont talk smoothly or clearly, then you wont be taken seriously. Also, a few things to remember that are not mentioned on the commando pamphlet: * If you select commando as you job preference, then infanty must be your second preference. * You MUST get daily excercise or do daily hard work to be taken seriously * You should be a member of a compeditive team, or at least play a compeditive sport. * Your motivations should stand clear as someone aiming to be a professional rather than a cowboy looking for adventure. * Its recommended that you take up studying engineering or mechanics at TAFE college. these courses are short, can be studied part time, evenings, and one day a week, plus show some consistancy for relevant material on your behalf.

A police can't question a 3 year old child full-stop, a child that young may not be able to speak (especially if Autistic) let alone understand what they're being asked. Whether Autistic or not police wouldn't attempt to question a 3 year old child.

One would hope that you don't judge a child who is overweight, and do not comment on a childs weight even if they are overweight - instead as an adult you guide a child through healthy eating and active lifestyle. If concerned your child is overweight talk to your doctor to determine if this is the case, they will also be able to give tips on how best to support the child in getting to a healthy weight.

Yes. Nichole recently put out a video on autism awareness, which also states the she a mild, high functioning form of Autism

This, however has nothing to do with her singing ability or physical features.

Yes, many more

It doesn't seem safe. But why would you want to anyway?

A Swedish organization, The Erica Foundation, began education and therapy programs directed at psychotic childrenbeginning the next decade. The first classes in special education, developed specifically for autistic children, began in the middle 1970's.
