This generally is a difficult time for both parents and children or whomever becomes in charge.  I found helping my mother make out checks, decide which bills to pay, and go over accounts was no problem.  It was when she began to lose the ability to understand and made unrational decisions.  There is a reluctance within many of us to take financial matters out of our parents’ hands, even when we know they are no longer capable. This also becomes the time when unscrupulous people also can take advantage of the elderly.  The frustrating part o...

Send in what you think about comments about autism services by September 19, and also your comments about the draft of the Strategic Plan for ASD Research by September 30. Also, you can go here to review the NIH’s Autism Spectrum Disorder Research Portfolio. Last year (FY 2007), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) devoted $127 million to research autism spectrum disorders through “grants, contracts, research projects conducted as part of the NIH Intramural Research Program, and other mechanisms of support.” In addition, NIH invested $3.9 million in the development of the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR). In FY 2006, $108 million was dev...

On August 11th, the National Institute of Mental Health issued a Request for Information (RFI): Priorities for the IACC Services Subcommittee for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to seek input from Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) stakeholders including individuals with ASD and their families, autism advocates, State officials, scientists, health professionals, therapists, educators, and the public at large about what they consider to be high-priority issues and concerns surrounding services and supports for children, youth, and adults with ASD.

I thought this sounded like a pretty good idea, so this is my own modest attempt. This list is certain to be incomplete as I am sure I will leave more than a few valuable suggestions out.Allow your child to be autistic. I'm not crazy about the wording on this one because it really isn't the parent's right to say whether or not the child is "allowed" to be autistic any more than it's the parent's right to decide whether or not the child is "allowed" to be gay; perhaps "accept" would be a better word. The meaning here is fairly simple: no 40 h...

Today’s Newsday describes the financial difficulties that autistic adults face: 25-year-old Sean Beaudoin works 20 hours a week as a kennel assistant and has his own car, credit card, and good credit rating: Last month, Sean walked into Hustedt Chevrolet in Centereach and traded in his fully paid 1997 Ford Explorer for a $2,500 credit toward a 2002 Chevy Malibu with 50,000 miles. He owed an additional $11,400 on the Malibu. After Beaudoin’s mother discovered the purchase and complained to the dealership, the manager agreed to lower the total price to $8,550. That’s...

Depending on individual circumstances, family and patient cooperation, as well as legal requirements in specific states, the degree to which you’ll need to go to manage patient care will vary.  For instance, my mom gave me power of attorney for her affairs.  That was all I needed, in our situation, while I was responsible for her care.  However, the power of attorney was requested on many occasions in order for me to manage her affairs while I was caring for her. A cousin has become court appointed conservator for her mom and has pow... Alzheimer's Notes blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1223753 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 06:00:06 +0100 1223753
