    If you are a parent of a child with autism, hug a lawyer. Enjoy! http://tinyurl.com/44rvxs5

    Have you ever felt your child with autism's world shrinking? If so, you may be interest in this link. I'm kind of preaching to the choir, athough if you have recently started an IBT program, this may help you understand why you are engaged in seemingly strange behaviors with your child.

    Thanks Jean! I appreciate the introduction!

    I just stumbled across a new book designed for the parent of a child w/ autism still in shock from the diagnosis. Although most of us are past that stage, for a new parent, this book will be valuable. Although I don't agree with everything in the book (big surprise there!), I think that he is 95% on the right track, which is better than most books for new parents that don't take a stand on anything. Enjoy!

    Welcome back Sabrina Freeman! I know I am not alone when I say this board and community has dearly missed your wise "voice of reason".

    For those who may not know Sabrina, let me introduce you….
    Dr. Freeman founded FEAT of BC in 1996 – when there was NO ABA treatment or treatment funding at all. Those were very dark days for children with autism and their families. She established FEAT of BC with the mandate of having science-based treatment – ABA covered by our health care system. She organized and assisted countless parents set-up ABA treatment programs, hosted ABA training workshops,lobbied government, wrote countless briefs, created this website, authored a number of books including, "Teach Me Language", "Science for Sale in the Autism Wars", the "Complete Guide to Autism Treatments",and, produced the
    video, "Autism – Now What Do I Do?" In addition to all of this, it was Sabrina's vision, tenacity and organization which created the Auton and Hewko litigations. Both have dramatically improved the lives for children with autism and their families in BC and the rest of Canada. Needless to say, Sabrina's contribution to our children and families has been immeasurable.

    Recently, I've had the pleasure of reading Sabrina's newest initiative, her blog: autism pundit and it is fabulous! Like her other work, it's: clear, straight-forward, easy to understand, thought-provoking and NO BS!

    Check-it out: http://www.autismpundit.com

    Thanks Sabrina – we're so glad you're back!

    Do you think that Asperger's syndrome should be eliminated from the DSM-V? I don't, and I'm hopping mad about it. Enjoy!

    Hi again! Sorry if I'm posting too much, but the article on sibling recurrence is now available for free on the Pediatrics website. I've also got a short analysis of the article at http://tinyurl.com/3w4gwdp

    This is a scary finding, folks. Unfortunately, it is worthwhile looking into. I truly hope that they have over-estimated the recurrence rate.

    Who knew that Mr. P would like doing jigsaw puzzles, independently for yucks and chuckles.

    Go figure, entertaining himself, but not in a stimmy way. Wow. Props to Shelley, and all the other consultants that have worked with him, and also the numerous therapist that have come and still come to our house. I think at last count we're in the 25 to 30 range.

    Recreation is important, all of us have work, but what real really enjoy is recreation… so there.

    One step in front of the other.

    Hello. We are looking for a Behavioral Consultant for our 2.5 year old twin sons. They are on the waitlist for ASD assessments but I'd like to get started on finding help now if possible. We live in Burnaby.

    Any feedback on reputable consultants would be greatly appreciated. Please email karlapark12@hotmail.com. Thank you in advance!

    Hi all,

    I'm getting really tired of hearing about exceptional people on the ASD spectrum to give parents of children with autism hope! If you've had enough, this post may be fun!
