ADULTS WITH AUTISM
Video on Autism and Skills For Adulthood. In this video, Dr. Peter Gerhardt discusses the adaptive skills that teens and young adults with autism spectrum disorder need to acquire to help them lead safe, productive, and fulfilling adult lives. These skills include safety, hygiene, employment, social competence, decision-making,self-management
VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS Mega-vitamin therapy and other nutritional supplements are commonly used to treat children with ASD. Recent studies show that over 30% of parents are giving their children extra Vitamins C and B6, and over 25% are using essential fatty acids and magnesium. Other nutritional supplements reported in use by more than 10% of parents includeVitamin

A LOST GENERATION: GROWING UP WITH AUTISM BEFORE THE The Interactive Autism Network (IAN) interviewed almost a dozen people born in the 1950s to mid-1980s, about what it was like to grow up with autism in the time before. Before the "epidemic" of childhood diagnoses that began in the 1990s. Before pediatricians began specifically screening for it. Before people knew what it was. ASPERGER'S SYNDROME: PROBLEMS INTERPRETING THE SOCIAL AND Like people with autism, people with Asperger's syndrome have a dreadful time understanding what is going on, socially. They do not always pay attention to the social scene in which they find themselves, and even when they do, they are often not able to make sense of what they see, or to respond appropriately. WHAT CAUSES GI PROBLEMS IN AUTISM? The most common gastrointestinal complaints in autism are constipation, diarrhea, and gastroesophageal reflux 2 (heartburn).

DOGS, HORSES AND ASD: WHAT ARE ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPIES Therapeutic horseback riding, or equine therapy, with a focus on physical abilities like trunk/head control has long been used for individuals with disabilities such as cerebral palsy. 22 The very limited research on equine therapy with children with ASD, however, has focused on social connection. WHAT'S REALLY BEHIND CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR IN AUTISM Autism often limits someone's ability to speak or communicate in other ways, causing frustration. So it's assumed by families and professionals alike that speech problems fuel the challenging behaviors often found in youth with autism: hitting oneself or others, tantrums, throwing things, running away, screaming, or beingdisruptive.
FEEDING PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have restrictive and ritualistic behaviors that affect their eating habits. Some of them limit what they eat, in some instances so severely that it results in nutritional deficiencies 1 that lead to weight loss, malnutrition and inadequate growth, said Melissa Olive Ph.D., a psychologist who treats children with ASD with feeding disorders at her VERY LATE DIAGNOSIS OF ASPERGER SYNDROME CLASS has therefore had to develop new methods for the very late diagnosis of AS in adulthood. These methods include screening instruments such as the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and the Empathy Quotient (EQ); and a semi-structured interview schedule for the diagnosis itself, called the Adult Asperger Assessment (AAA). THE CHALLENGE OF PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM November 17, 2014. You've probably seen the headlines: studies say that children and adults with autism are at risk for an inactive lifestyle and obesity. While the reasons are subject to debate, it's clear that people with ASD often face unique challenges to physical fitness. The core features of autism – social, communication andbehavior

There was a time when autism was believed to be entirely psychological, the result of rejecting, cold parenting. This was completely untrue, as scientists, researchers, and clinicians came to realize. (See Refrigerator Mothers – A Discredited Theory .) SENSORY ISSUES: SEEKING AND AVOIDING Sensory integration theory is widely applied to autism by practitioners.” 8. In other words, those who live with or treat individuals with ASDs observe these sensory issues at work daily, adapting the environment and treatments to address them. Occupational therapists (OTs) have become the key providers of "sensory integration" treatments. IAN RESEARCH REPORTS IAN Research Report #17 - Bullying and Children with ASD Preliminary results of the IAN Bullying and School Experiences of Children with ASD survey show children with autism spectrum disorders are bullied at a high rate, and in some cases are provoked on purpose into outbursts or meltdowns by peers who know how to "push their buttons."; IAN Research Report #16 - Elopement and Wandering WHAT ANXIETY TREATMENTS WORK FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM Marina Sarris Interactive Autism Network at Kennedy Krieger Institute. This is the second of two articles on anxiety in autism. The first, "Anxiety's Toll on People with Autism," explores symptoms and diagnosis.This article focuses on treatment. ADULTS WITH ASDS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? There's a sense of newness, of starting afresh. But the flight can be perilous for a young adult with autism. Research, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom, shows that roughly half of today's adults with ASDs, including those with low, average, or above-average IQs, remain at home well into their 30s and sometimesbeyond.
THE STIGMA OF AUTISM: WHEN ALL EYES ARE UPON YOU First, the autism rate was 2.6 percent, the highest reported from any country.

OBSESSIONS AND SPECIAL INTERESTS AND AUTISM Behaviors that Puzzle: Repetitive Motions and Obsessive Interests in Autism. Some of a child’s early symptoms of autism may be among the most puzzling to parents: hand-flapping, rocking, lining up toys, or finding the whirling blades of a fan more interesting than the world around him. Doctors call these repetitive and restricted behaviors. THE CHANGING EMPLOYMENT SCENE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM Finding meaningful employment is hard for everyone, but people on the autism spectrum often face additional challenges. Only 39 to 42 percent of clients of the United States vocational rehabilitation system with ASD were able to find jobs between 2002 and 2006 1.In addition, many who are employed are overqualified for their positions or may have trouble holding on to them 2.

WHAT'S REALLY BEHIND CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR IN AUTISM Autism often limits someone's ability to speak or communicate in other ways, causing frustration. So it's assumed by families and professionals alike that speech problems fuel the challenging behaviors often found in youth with autism: hitting oneself or others, tantrums, throwing things, running away, screaming, or beingdisruptive.
EXAMINING GENES TO DESCRIBE DIFFERENT TYPES OF AUTISM A CNV is a missing or extra piece of a chromosome. Newer tests, such as the chromosomal microarray, can uncover these small alterations to a chromosome. Someone with a CNV may have a missing or extra gene or genes. They found 112 children with one of these mutations in the SSC, a project of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. WHAT CAUSES GI PROBLEMS IN AUTISM? The most common gastrointestinal complaints in autism are constipation, diarrhea, and gastroesophageal reflux 2 (heartburn). Reports of GI problems in children with ASD range from 9 to 70 percent, with autism clinics reporting the higher amount, according to an article in the journal Pediatrics. 3.

HOW DOES THE AUTISM BRAIN CHANGE THROUGH THE LIFESPAN October 4, 2017. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is generally a lifelong condition, but there is currently very little understanding of how the brain changes in people with ASD as they age.

But Dr. Fein avoids the word recovery to describe her lost-diagnosis group. "'Recovery' carries so much baggage," Dr. Fein said in an interview. "When you say recovery, it conjures up a period of normal development, then they got a disease, and now they've recovered," she said. Instead, this group reached an"optimal
PERFECT PITCH: AUTISM'S RARE GIFT From 1 to 5 people per 10,000 have absolute pitch, according to estimates. 8 Perfect pitch occurs in musicians at higher rates, from less than 1 percent up to 11 percent, according to some studies. 9-10 It runs in families, suggesting a genetic link, and occurs most often in people who had musical training before age 6. FEEDING PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have restrictive and ritualistic behaviors that affect their eating habits.
