Dear Parents,

Thank you for all your advice regarding dentists. I have another question:

Where do your kids do have their intelligence and language testing?

I know the ABLE clinic does a good job, but it seems like they are completely booked until the next millenium.

Thank you very much!

From one of my team members:

THERAPIST AVAILABLE

Hello, I am a behaviour therapist specializing in Lovaas ABA and a recent graduate of UBC (Psychology). I have received extensive training from Michele Shilvock and Gabrielle Stigant. I really enjoy what I am doing and would like the opportunity to work with other children and families. I currently reside in the Kitslano area and am interested in working with families in the Vancouver area. If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email:

Spiritrio@hotmail.com

I can also provide you with a copy of my resume.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Regarding the CBC Radio One Quirks and Quarks program, I have a few dumb questions:

Haven't Bob MacDonald and Alison Motluk seen Rain Man?

Do they think mental retardation as "just a variation of human behaviour?"

I know of autistic people who depend on others for every need, including bathing and toileting. Society keeps them alive, but they live without ever enjoying any human dignity. How will they benefit from Laurent Mottron's research?

I know some "autistics" are affected to such a minor degree that they are not even mentally retarded, but there can be no question that many are affected quite severely, so what is the justification for cutting the disabled ones out of the argument?

How do people justify focussing only on the behaviours of autistic people, and completely ignoring the LEARNING DISABILITY?

If you plan to go to the PNE, please be aware that along with the purchase of your child's junior ride pass, you can get a special pass that allows you to:

1. bypass all lineups, and
2. ride for free with your child.

Here is the confirmation from the PNE:

Please go with your child to the Guest Services Booth in Playland (located adjacent to the Waveswinger ride) and speak with them regarding an "all day exit pass." We utilize this pass for individuals that have a medical/developmental or other condition that would make it difficult to stand in lines for an extended period of time.
