| Hi Anna. You should really google the crystal child. Not to sound too metaphysical, but the #1 characteristic of these children is delayed speech being labeled as autistic!! I also have a 2 1/2 year old who doesnt talk. Just check it out, dont you think its wierd that autism has gone up like 300% in the past 5 years. Something is going on. Does your son connect with you emotionally? Look in your eyes, smile at you? Autistic children wouldnt do this. Please google this, it may relieve some of your fears of autism. Marie ↑ |

| My daughter is 3 and she was diagnosed with mild PDD-NOS and I am feeling lost in this whole world of special needs pre schools and dealing with all of the red tape. I am so frustrated with all the psychologists and how they try to label our children I just want to be able to talk to another mom who knows how it feels inside. Our daughter is doing great and learning more everyday. Somedays are better than others. my email is Sthrncomfort/2sbcglobal.net ↑ |

| HI my name is Tina and I am the mother of an 11 year old diagnosed with Asperger's, also I have a 14 year who is quite possibly ADD. I feel so alone and this is funny because I am known in my area for starting a local support group and am very active in advocacy and such. My son has had a miserable school year and is now in an alternate placement but he is with kids who are very hard core in their behaviors. I have just decided to remove him but now I don't know what we will do for his education. He is very high functioning academically but needs a moderate level of help socially and emotionally. Anyone out there who wants to chat you can e-mail me at ma2bellboyz@yahoo.com. Best Wishes. ↑ |

Book - Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum
BOOK - Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum : A Parent's Guide to the Cognitive, Social, Physical, and Transition Needs of Teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorders by Chantal Sicile-Kira.
Now available: Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum is a complete guide to the cognitive, emotional, social, and physical needs of preteens
and teenagers on the spectrum, ranging from Asperger's Syndrome to those
severely impacted by autism. Using clear examples, practical advice, and supportive insights, this book covers:
- Health risks such as seizures and depression
- Treatments, therapies, and teaching strategies
- Teaching skills to cope with puberty, self-care, and social skills
- Teenage emotions, sexuality, appropriate relationships, and dating
- Middle school, high school, and developing an Individual Educational Program
- Preparing for life after high school
Author Chantal Sicile-Kira, author of Autism Spectrum Disorders (2005 ASA Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award) is a national speaker and advocate who has been involved with autism spectrum disorders for nearly 20 years, as a professional and as a parent.
Some Reviews: "Earlier this year, I had the honor of reading Chantal Sicile-Kira's book Autism Spectrum Disorders. With Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum, she has once again written a book that should be read by every child on the autism spectrum. Chantal provides useful, practical, and insightful guidance on topics ranging from transition to sexuality. These are tough topics and she handles them with tremendous wisdom, frankness and grace. Any parent who opens this book will find a wealth of incredibly helpful information."
- Dr. Cathy Pratt, Director, Indiana Resource Center for Autism Chair,
National Autism Society of America (ASA)
"Parents raising a teenager on the spectrum will find this clearly written and carefully documented guidebook to be full of important information and practical advice. Helping adolescents transition from the pre-teen years through puberty and on to young adulthood is a difficult task. This book will provide invaluable help and guidance to both parents and professionals. It is highly recommended."
-Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., Director of the Autism Research Institute ↑ |
