There is a ton of information out there about the subject of autism. Much of it is misleading and often irrelevant for individuals. Most parents have told me that although they might have found helpful sites they just aren't sure what to try for their own child or what to believe as appropriate therapy for their specific needs. They just don't have time or the background to know how to properly synthesize the overwhelming accumulation of information available.

This wikizine is dedicated to providing professionally and clinically informed information in a format that will help the reader to synthesize the information. In addition, alternative courses of treatment that hold merit will also be available as they are carefully researched and scrutinized as viable alternatives.

It is the goal of this wikizine to help the reader take the impact of autism in smaller steps and stages. The ultimate intent is that it will help lead others to a plan of action and an unfolding map of the future for their individual loved one with autism.

The CBC - Not Aware Of Severe Autism Realities Misrepresents Autism Spectrum Disorders If there is an opportunity to present the Neurodiversity, autism is beautiful, perspective on autism disorders the CBC can be counted on to use its publicly funded broadcasting might to help this ideologically driven group confuse public understanding of the seriousness of autism disorders. The CBC is at it again this week helping misinform the public about the seriousness of autistic disorder and the challenges faced by those who aren't capable of granting interviews to diletantte CBC journalists, those who actually live in institutional care and are not "capable of doing ...

I have written often of the great progress we have made in New Brunswick in helping autistic children. Our small province is literally a world leader in providing government funded pre -school autism intervention across our jurisdiction by trained autism support workers and clinical supervisors at autism agencies which did not exist just a few years ago. Our neighborhood schools provide for the education of autistic children in a variety of settings in the mainstream classroom for some autistic children who function well in the classroom, and smaller locations for those, like my son, who do not. Teacher assistants and resource teachers continue to ... Read Full Story

Liverpool Echo Photo of Margaret Garvey Convicted of Assaulting Severely Autistic Child By Dragging Him Across Floor By His Head As the parent of a severely autistic 13 year old boy who grew at an astonishing pace this past year, and who now stands somewhere around 5' 10" tall, I am well aware of the challenges facing care workers who provide care for severely autistic children. I love my son but I am realistic about the challenges his Autistic Disorder presents and I am very appreciative of all those who work, and have worked, with him. Those who work with autistic children choose a ... Read Full Story

As for myself the autism community have been brilliant and it’s great to see more and...
