The TSA and FBI are right: it’s not airport security’s job to look for people like Bonnie Sweeten. But they quickly agree to make it part of their mission when newspapers and Members of Congress start to say they should. This is how a nominal airline security program transmogrifies into a general law enforcement checkpoint, and the noose tightens on your right to travel.

Mitchell and his family are asking for the safe of Rainbow. From KERO 23: “Every time (Mitchell) sees the picture, he cries, and he doesn’t want to eat,” Toune Chareunsouk said. Mitchell got Rainbow three years ago and would like to see his best friend again. “It’s not fair. What if someone stole your best friend?” Mitchell said. Bev at Asperger Square 8 is offering a reward for the return of Rainbow: If you live in the Sacramento area and know anything about this, please contact me.

Today’s AM 900 reports that police now believe that this may be a case of parental abduction: Witnesses though have told police they saw the two aboard a ferry to Manitoulin on Saturday, and that they bought 2 beige t-shirts. They were then spotted in Espanola about 4 hours later. Police believe they may still be in northern Ontario, en-route to either Alberta or eastern Canada. It’s believed Austin is out of his autism medication and that his father is stressed and behaving abnormally, following the break-up of his marriage. Hoping that Austin is back home, soon.

What this means is that it is essentially a story not just to describe, but explain, how a person’s problem has developed, and how it is maintained so that treatments can be based on influencing those factors. There are many different frameworks for case formulation, but several key elements are usually present: a description of the presenting issues; the factors that act to create vulnerability or precipitate the problems developing; factors that may not have been involved in the initial problem developing, but are helping to maintain the problems; and ...

Some cases are hypothesized to be secondary to sleep paralysis combined with hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations:Full-body paralysis normally accompanies rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which occurs several times a night. Sleep paralysis is a transient state that occurs when an individual becomes conscious of this immobility, typically while falling asleep or awakening. These experiences can be accompanied by hypnagogic (while falling asleep) or hypnopompic (while awakening) hallucinations. An estimated 30% of the population has had at least one sleep paralysis episode. In one study, 5% of sleep paralysis patients had episodes that were accompani...

Billboards and advertisements in magazines (including New York Magazine, Newsweek, Parents, Education Update and Mental Health News) and in kiosks will start appearing in January. The “Ransom Notes” campaign is provided pro bono by BBDO, a worldwide advertising agency network with headquarters in New York—-though, as I wrote in a previous post, the shock value ads—which are designed to look like an actual ransom note and signed “Autism” or “Asperger Syndrome” or “ADHD”&#8...

Not much more to be said.114 days in captivity, days during which we often feared the worst. Days that were unspeakable awful for Alan Johnston. Days that were, in a way, even more awful for his parents, waiting helplessly at home. I cannot begin to imagine the horror of seeing my own son, in captivity, with an ammunition belt tied round his waist.Alan Johnston’s safe release is wonderful news indeed.And then Mrs C asked, “How long has Madeleine McCann been missing now?”Madeleine McCann has been missing for 62 days, just over half the...

All parents share the anguish, for it affects us all. Tomorrow it may be our child.On a personal level, the McCann family back ground is so similar to mine. A GP and a hospital specialist with a large family. I listen to the news several times a day, hoping to hear that Maddie has been found. It is the first thing that I turn to in the newspapers.Today, 12th May, is Maddie’s fourth birthday.She has been missing for a week.
