I recall Mom, whose idea of a good movie is a big ol’ musical, being a little surprised at what the censors nowadays might call “mature [...] (Source: My journey with AIDS) My journey with AIDS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2641467 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:01:24 +0100 2641467 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1677224&cid=t_393310_133_f&fid=35096&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAutismVox%2F%7E3%2FdCGJNZAno_A%2F On Day 3 of summer vacation, Charlie woke at 6am chattering and was soon up and about. He’d gone to bed late the night before and, not surprisingly, he fell asleep around 10am, his long form smooshed against the back of the couch. I saw beside him and worked on my book and Charlie must have really needed his sleep, as Jim and me talking and Pandora playing did not wake him. When Charlie woke up, we went swimming and then a lazy summer day got a little more interesting. We’d been invited to a surprise birthday party and told to show up by a certain time to await the arrival of the birthday guest. However, the night before, we’d gone to another friend’s house and Charlie had spent most of a few hours pacing the front yard and porch; he sat down for a hamburger with an...

She—and a number of other parents of autistic children—are now studying for a master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at Caldwell College in northern New Jersey. Today’s New York Times profiles the program and some of the parents who are studying in it: In most states, a generic special education degree is sufficient to treat children with autism and to use the particular techniques of A.B.A., the only therapy for the disorder with proven results in peer-reviewed research. But many colleges and universities now offer specialized degrees in A.B.A. Graduate programs are offered at Northeastern University in Boston, Florida State University in Tallahassee, the University of North Carol...

Brigid was 5 and Ryan was 8. Brigid would be 20 today and Ryan would be 23. I miss them as much today as I have since they died. Whitney Houston sings it right when she sings, I Will Always Love You!

Then there’s a band of brothers, one on the autism spectrum, Jet Fuel Only. In the band are teenager Sawyer Goodson who has Asperger Syndrome, and his brother, Evan, who has a speech impediment; their younger brother Cameron has autism; here’s their first performance at their school in Chico, California. Not your average sons of no or anyone……. Music unsticks good things.

(Try here and here.) Or a reference to life with autism as “hell,” as recently mentioned on Scobleizer? Yes, it is not always, or at all, easy to raise an autistic child. Yes, being the parent of an autistic child—of a child who is minimally verbal, far behind his grade level in his academic skills (Charlie still confuses the letters “B” and “D”), has self-injurious behaviors (under control, but the potential for these lurks). Yes, my expectations for success, achievement, etc., etc. , in my son’s li...

Nelson, who has produced Finding the Words—”a powerful documentary film…… about children recovering from autism”—-describes herself as on nothing less than a sort of campaign—-a crusade—with an “exponentially-growing army,” an “anti-autism army,” whose cause is the “controversial premise: autism recovery.” While “autism recovery” is not at all my cause, goal, or, indeed, concern for my son Charlie, I nonetheless feel a kind of fraternity with Nelson and the “millions of women (and men) all over the world” wh...

The Tremblays “have trouble looking” at Oliver without thinking “if only……” to themselves—if only, they had not have had him vaccinated; they are one among 4,700 families suing the federal government, as they claim that the mercury-based preservative thimerasol caused Oliver to become autistic. The trial is set to begin in June. Nonetheless, the Tremblays note that they are “not against” vaccines: “Well, we just did, you know, what parents are supposed to do, what the pediatrician tells you to do,” Eleanor Tremblay said. …&#82...
