IN MIDST OF EPIDEMIC, AUTISM INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION'S
AUTISM SCIENCE DIGEST® TO ENTER RETAIL OUTLETS

We join many in the community who grieve the passing of the courageous Dr. Bernadine Healy, the first female director of the NIH and a person of great integrity.

If you have anything other than a small roll-aboard suitcase, I would not recommend this route. It would be better to take a shuttle. For those that are a little adventuresome and fearless, proceed!

This year's conference is quite a bit further from the airport than in previous years. The Westin does have a special deal with a shuttle company but it is still $27 each way and they do not have a complementary shuttle like the one in Rosemont.

A few years ago, I interviewed many adults on the spectrum for my book Autism Life Skills about what were the important areas that concerned them the most while growing up. High on the list was safety. Many of them described feeling terrified during their student years. Practically all recounted instances of being bullied. A recent report from the Massachusetts Advocates for Children (Ability Path, 2011) shows that bullying is still a concern for most students: nearly 88% of individuals with ASD are bullied in school.

In February 1998, the Lancet published Dr. Andrew Wakefield's case series of a group of autistic children with gastric problems, which has become one of the most controversial studies in medicine because part of the patients' story included regression after receivingthe MMR vaccine.

The Green Room is excited to offer, in connection with Actors For Autism, Special Needs Acting Classes in Atlanta GA!!!!!

These classes focus on enhancing social communication, understanding and confidence through games, discussion, role play, video clips and other techniques. Participation in these classes may be helpful for children whose peer relationships are hampered by issues related to AD/HD, Asperger's syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), learning problems, language delays, and auditory processing disorders.

AutismOne SoCal at Health Freedom Expo: The Exciting New Autism Event of Southern California

This is a Masters Thesis I came across on guidelines for building a hort-therapy garden. I thought it might be useful to someone sometime within this group.

You will have to let go of the "people first" infractions to read but at least some information is getting out there.

If one is interested I suggest downloading the file. Like .gov site, you never know when university bureaucracies will change or eliminate files.
