Success with Floortime

Posted July 12th, 2009 by Angie Skillern

Some of you will undoubtedly have heard of Floortime Therapy as a treatment for autism. For those who have not, it is a child-centered approach that utilizes interactive play to develop social and emotional skills. I only mention it because it has helped our son Conner tremendously. It appealed to us initially because it was something we could learn to implement ourselves as parents. We are not wealthy people so 40 hours of ABA per week was out of the question.

Something For Sam

Posted July 11th, 2009 by linwessels

Hi there. I’m Lin Wessels, otherwise known as Sam’s mom. I am an autism activist of sorts, which is how I ended up here, on AutismOne, as a blogger. My profile picture reflects my attempts at political activism on behalf of our families with autism. The more I understand about politics, the more contacts I make on The Hill, the more meetings I attend with our representatives, the more I feel exactly as that picture depicts…..locked on the outside, trying to get in. Sometimes I do truly wonder why I even bother. But then, I remember the alternative, do nothing.

Vaccines Cause Autism!!!

Posted July 11th, 2009 by Anonymous

Vaccines cause autism!!! The government created The No-Fault Federal "Vaccine Court" for people that were injured by vaccines. Yes INJURED!!! There would not be such a court if vaccines were totally safe!!! If a doctor tells you that vaccines are safe please ask them about the court. Most of them will not even know about "Vaccine Court". Check out this website and learn.

Is anyone else sick of autism???

Posted July 10th, 2009 by Anonymous

I am so sick of autism I want to scream until my throat bleeds and cry until my eyes cannot cry any longer. I want to stop doing dishes, laundry and stop changing diapers on a 8 year old. I am so tired. I am tired of taking care of everyone and everything. I am tired of always being the optimistic one. I am tired of going without so you can have whatever you want. I am tired of NEVER having enough money. Tired of saying that it could be worse. I KNOW IT COULD BE WORSE BUT DAMMIT THIS IS BAD TOO!! Tired of putting on a happy face and taking deep breaths and continuing on.
