Instead of worrying about whether you child is obsessed, or simply has narrow interests, embrace the Power of Obsession. Enjoy! http://www.autismpundit.com

Medicare's Orphans: an interview with the film's producer, Jean Lewis. Hear the story behind the story! http://www.autismpundit.com

This interview and the movie, which is to be released on October 26th, 2011, will be of particular value for those new parents whose children were recently diagnosed, and of significant interest for the old timers who have been part of the struggle from 1996!

Autism and the Role of Music: Part Two. If you liked the strategy and my previous post on music, you'll be interested in this one as well. This post has samples for your enjoyment! Of course, you all know the story behind the story… http://tinyurl.com/3k5kgml

This post is particularly cogent for the parent of a recently diagnosed child. My hope is that it will introduce you to a different perspective.

There's much talk about the relative merits of being in a gov't program vs. a program where the parents spend the money. In B.C., this issue is very cogent. Here's my take on the issue for parents attempting to get the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to autism treatment. Enjoy! http://tinyurl.com/3k5kgml

Autism and the Role of Music. If you've ever wondered how, or why, to incorporate music into an ABA program, hopefully this will give you valuable information. As you know, we had to figure this out on our own. For any parents with musical children, this post should hopefully give you some food for thought. Enjoy! http://tinyurl.com/4yla58q

Hi All,

A parent advocate recommended this website to me: Autism after 16. It is actually an honest website that doesn't candy-coat the future; however, it also gives an insight into what's happening in NY State which is a state that is well known for its forward looking attitude to autism (remember the famous NY report on the state of the Science for autism treatment). I blog about it briefly and link it for you. http://tinyurl.com/4yla58q

Hi FEATers,

We're currently looking to hire a new lead and I was wondering, however discreetly, what the going rate for line and leads is.

If you would be willing to confidentially share this information with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

You can e-mail me at:
scissorhappy@shaw.ca

Also, if you have a fantastic lead therapist who might be looking for another family (with a very sweet, 9 year old, high functioning girl,) PLEASE pass on my e-mail.

Thanks so much,
{Cathy Fitzhugh}

P.S. I hate September!
