This Week’s Top Posts
It was a full week for autism news, with the release Monday of two new reports from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), one calling for universal screening of all young children for autism and the other noting how to teach and treat autism. The longstanding question of “can better diagnosis account for the rise in the prevalence rate of autism” again arose—–and, of course, Wednesday was Halloween. Tricks and treats:
- Thinking Differently: Advocacy, Witness, Hope
The National Autistic Society launches its Think differently about autism campaign and I recall the Autism and Advocacy conference Jim organized last year. - New AAP Reports Call for Universal Screening for Autism
All children aged 18-24 months will be screened for autism. - The Right, and the Fight, to Be Included
An autistic student (your autistic son or daughter) has a great talent for something and you seek for your child to go as far as possible, in full acknowledgement of his or her disability: Has this happened to you? - Better Diagnosis and So-called Epidemics
These days it seems that more children have autism and that we hear a lot more about autism: Why? - So That’s What Happened To The Clock on the Computer
We spend a very lowkey Halloween while pondering the reasons for Daylight Saving Time. - How Hidden Is Autism?
I’ve often heard parents note that one reason it can be difficult to do things in public with their autistic child is that, if the child becomes upset or cries out or does something that seems “odd,” there is no obvious sign of the child’s disability. - What Happens When Autism Is No Longer the “Disease du Jour”?
Is it possible that autism is getting too much attention not only in the public eye, but also among philanthropies and the media?
