He then set out a bowl, measuring scales and a wooden spoon and requested that I help him prepare a chocolate cake. We have been making a small, reduced sugar confection that can be cooked quickly in the microwave and which he loves. I don't, but then, that's an advantage as I'm not so tempted to munch it down myself. Duncan's recent desire to eat chocolate cake stems from a clip of the film Matilda that he watches regularly.Duncan likes to eat his cake like the talented Bruce Bogtrotter, enjoys seeing chocolate sauce smeared over his face in the bathroom mirror and has even be known to hold his empty plate over his head when he's finished. He has also gained some useful new expressions thanks...

Packings are not always easy to read. How packings can be made autism-friendly. Have you ever thought about the information printed on a food packing? No packing seems to show the equal amount of information at the same spot. Of course there is a table telling us the amount kilocalories a product contains. And there are several nation wide used labels showing us this is a healthy choice object. It's a discovery tour every time I buy a new product to find the right thing I needed. It almost causes me sensory overload standing before the shelves filled with dozens of products who all promise me to be the best.After having made my choice, the second round begins, how to get those stuff home knowing about my disturbed locomotive.

More and more cooking studios open their doors for people with autism. Kaatjes Keuken in Holland is one of those special cook studio's which offers special cooking lessons for children with autism. (Click on the title of this blogpost to see her Dutch website) The lessons are given by Mrs. Karen Den Dekker, a cook educationist. On Saturday Mrs. Den Dekker teaches young adults the art of cooking. The limited group size of 2 students only provides rest and gives students the opportunity to watch one another cooking. There is no group pressure which tells all students should be finished at the same time. Special care is given to the individuals special interest. These cooking lessons also reckon what’s good to learn to provide ...

I used to eat the tomato and mozzarella schnitzel (on the right) but for some unknown and unannounced reason the supermarket does not sell them anymore. They were very popular, I am absolutely sure of. Anyway, I now eat the 'normal' schnitzel thing (show below)For more information see the website: Click on the title of this blogpost to be forwarded.Nothing much more to tell you. Fed up with things. The caregivers organization from which I get support is in deep financial trouble.

It is the first step of digestion and it increases the surface area of foods to allow more efficient break down by enzymes. During the mastication process, the food is positioned between the teeth for grinding by the cheek and tongue. As chewing continues, the food is made softer and warmer, and the enzymes in saliva begin to break down carbohydrates in the food. After chewing, the food (now called a bolus) is swallowed. It enters the esophagus and continues on to the stomach, where the next step of digestion occurs.Mastication is a repetitive sequence of jaw opening and closing with a profile in the vertical plane called the chewing cycle. Mastication consists of a number of chewing cycles. ...

The food was delicious and the people whom I had never met before, were ok.There was just one thing what bothers me. Because travel between the restaurant and my home addres v.v. takes very long I had taken my Tupperware lunchbox with me.During the high tea it was clear the amount of food was too much for us. So I considered taking some food with me in my Tupperware lunchbox, like a doggy bag thing. I choose the wrong moment to fill my lunchbox with things. Not in the end which would have been more appropriate I guess. I was so clumsy to fill this thing while everybody was enjoying the food. AAAHH I felt so clumsy and so a...

As a medical doctor (now a Director of Medical Services) and parent of a young autistic son, Jepson has been doing some research lately and has come up with some (not always so) new ideas. Here are some excerpts from a story in the Deseret News (Utah) about Jepson and his new book Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians:Soon he was convinced that autism is a complex metabolic disease that has as much to do with the gut as it does with the brain.It's an epidemic, he says, "and there's no such thing as a genetic epidemic."At the same time, the "new autism" is less likely to show up within the first six months or year of a baby's life, and is much m... 29 Marbles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=762997 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 22:40:00 +0100 762997
