and how does this differ from shyness?

I don’t have an Autistic child, but since the disorder is so common now it’s something I’ve often wondered.

He seems to continously touch himself and stem at the same time. What alternative sensory integration can i provide to help him. It is just not appropriate. it is happening in public places.

What are the symptoms?

All the complaints mention vaccinations and/or poor timing for receiving all the “required” shots per public health requirements. I have yet to read an article that shows the criteria or gives any information about the number on children who have not received shots or have not been vaccinated that have Autism. Please comment if You know of cases of Autism that involve such children. Otherwise I have to believe that all those health requirements for shots and vaccinations are causing Autism cases

What were the benefits and challenges?

What are some signs that they are autistic?

I though it was the same thing.

This week (Apr. 14—2010), a girl got

lost in a FLA. swamp & was found alive.

She was described as having “autism-like” symptoms. That news story led to this question.
Heard this on the radio yesterday—

dannysfarm.com

they work with autism patients, and others with different developmental
conditions.

my counsellor George tells me that people with aspergers/autism say outrageous things like omg that room is ugly and i hate that person i wish they would die that people without AS/autism wouldnt say.

I say those sort of things all the time and was wondering why do they do that? Im 17 and have Aspergers
