Extractions: ABA Resources for Recovery from Autism/PDD/Hyperlexia I am the father of a school-age child who has autism . This page is a collection of Internet and other resources which parents of children with PDD PDD-NOS autism Asperger's Syndrome , or hyperlexia may find useful. All the information concerns teaching methods that are a branch of applied behavior analysis (ABA) called behavioral intervention . One of the methods is discrete trial training. Some (inaccurately) use the term " Lovaas method." We worked hard to get complete information, implement a program, and have our school system pay for it. My hope is to help spare other parents (and their children) some of the pain and wasted time we went through. Here are all the helpful resources I've found, with the best places to start marked . The essentials of starting a program for your child are marked to . Please also see the frequently asked questions about ABA and autism .

RSRF - Rett Syndrome Research Foundation
Promotes biomedical research for the treatment of Rett Syndrome, often misdiagnosed as autism and Hypotonia. Offers detailed information, links, studies, support groups, and information on the Rett Syndrome gene MECP2 recently discovered.
http://www.rsrf.org

Extractions: The Rett Syndrome Research Foundation (RSRF) was created in the fall of 1999 by six parents of children with Rett Syndrome. Our mandate is clear: to find treatments and a cure for Rett Syndrome, a devastating neurological disorder that strikes primarily little girls, depriving them of communication and motor skills and rendering them completely dependent on others for every basic need. The recent discovery that mutations in the gene create Rett Syndrome's tragic cascade of symptoms has galvanized research in this field. Functioning as an epigenetic gene, is thought to silence other genes through the process of DNA methylation. The failure of this mechanism to turn genes off appropriately may have implications for a wide range of disorders. Researchers from fields as disparate as cancer and schizophrenia have become interested in the exploration of Historically Rett Syndrome (RTT) has been considered rare. However, as RTT research yields more information about the role of in neuronal maintenance and synaptic organization and plasticity, the incidence of related disorders may significantly redefine the frequency and scope of these mutations.

Extractions: This page is meant to be a resource for parents of autistic children. This page should grow, as we become more experienced handling Tara 's problems.

This site was reviewed by Mental Health Net giving it a single star out of a possible 4. The best rating that they've given in their Autism section is 3 stars. I guess this means that either I have lots of room for improvement or the site isn't what they expected. Autism This page was selected by as one of their 50 key resources in the topic of Autism. The list of 50 is excellent; I encourage you to check it out. Autism is a developmental disability that appears during the first three years.

http://www.autcom.org/

Extractions: Autcom Welcome to the web page of the Autism National Committee (AUTCOM)! This is the only autism advocacy organization dedicated to "Social Justice for All Citizens with Autism" through a shared vision and a commitment to positive approaches. Our organization was founded in 1990 to protect and advance the human rights and civil rights of all persons with autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and related differences of communication and behavior. In the face of social policies of devaluation, which are expressed in the practices of segregation, medicalization, and aversive conditioning, we assert that all individuals are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For membership information or other queries, please contact the Autism National Committee at P.O. Box 6175, North Plymouth, MA 02362-6175. Want to become a member? Click here for a membership form The Committee further believes that the principles of social justice can only be upheld through organizational methods which reflect those principles. Just as we envision communities based on the cultivation and support rather than the control of their members, the Committee encourages its individual members and organizational partners toward self-direction and self-empowerment. We welcome the participation of all family members, people with autism/PDD, caring professionals, and other friends who wish to implement, not debate, the right to self-determination by hearing and heeding the voices of people with autism. We have joined together to provide information, support, networking, advocacy, a strong voice in federal legislation and policy, a newsletter, conferences and trainings, a bookstore, a variety of unique publications, and an ongoing reappraisal of fundamental research and treatment issues in the light of what people with autism themselves find meaningful and respectful.

Autism And Vaccination
autism and Vaccination. Introduction. There is an increasing amount of researchbeing conducted into the possible link between autism and vaccination.
http://osiris.sunderland.ac.uk/autism/vaccine.htm

Extractions: Picture courtesy of BBC Online News This webpage was set up with the express purpose of disseminating information and research about the possible links between vaccination and autism. It is not the intention of the Autism Research Unit or the University of Sunderland to provide medical advice about the issue of vaccination. We recommend that any decision regarding the vaccination of your child should be made in conjunction with the appropriate physician/s. ARU Homepage Introduction There is an increasing amount of research being conducted into the possible link between autism and vaccination. Along with many other groups throughout the world, the Autism Research Unit at the University of Sunderland is committed to examining the nature of this association through scientific research. Due to the nature of the work conducted at the Unit and the strong contact established with parents of people with autism, we at the Unit, have become increasingly aware of an increased incidence of parents claiming that their child's autism was the result of, or compounded by, vaccination. Many times each week, we are contacted by parents who talk about the effect they saw when their child was vaccinated, often describing harrowing scenes of extremely rapid regression, from perfectly ordinary children to children who exhibit very severe behavioural and physiological problems. Of course, clinicians and parents alike readily accept that by the very definition of a pervasive developmental disorder such as autism, a period of regression very often accompanies the onset of symptoms, and as such one cannot discount the possibility that the timing of vaccinations with autism onset is merely one of coincidence rather than cause. This cannot however be assumed when adequate research has yet to be properly conducted, both epidemiological and the direct study of individual cases.
