I am a pregnant woman concerned about the rise in Autism. I know of three different families with children who have been diagnosed with Autism and I can’t help but wonder why are there so many more Autistic children these days. For those of you who children with the disease or know parents of Autistic children – what is Autism attributed to?

Many are attributing Autism to vaccines but there seems to be alot of controversy about this theory. What does everyone think?

I would like to take a test to see if my child has Autism. Not just a warning sign bullet page. I know it is out there somewhere.

What do you think is the best thing for a child with high functioning autism? A class of only other high functioning asd kids who will have some behavior problems he might copy, but he also might make good friends and feel comfortable there; part-time school / part-time homeschool; or full-time homeschool. Part-time self-contained/pt inclusion is not an option because he has no academic problems, just behavior and social ones, and the autism rooms are only for lower-functioning kids.

He has been in full-time inclusion for the past few years, but it doesn’t seem the best fit, I think the negatives of the social experience outweigh the positives.

Just currious to know what you think?
If you are a parent what are your concerns and thoughts?
If you are a parent with a child with autism, when did you start to notice the symptoms?
Any suggestions for alternative options for non mercury vaccines or option of spacing out the vaccines.
I just find it alarming that in the 1970′s 1 in 10,000 children had autism; now 1 in 150 have autism!
Thanks for you input!

I work one-on-one with a child with autism who is in kindergarten. I would really like to find more information on autism, as well as ways that I can get him to communicate, work with others, etc… If you know of any resources that would be good I would really appreciate the help. I want to learn as much as I can!

I am taking a course at a university entitled- Children with Disabilities and for our term paper we are to interview a parent of a child who has a disability i.e. Mental Retardation, Emotionally Disturbed, Autism, etc. Thus I am trying to find someone to interview so if you are interested in helping a college student out by answering a few questions about your child please let me know.

Thanks SO much in advance everyone!

I am going to college to become a teacher, so I applied for a paraprofessional position at an elemenatry school. I was hired, and it turns out that the job is child specific, for a boy with autism. I will be helping him throughout the day at his special, learning support class, lunch, recess, etc. It seems like something I will be able to handle, but I need some pointers on working with autism. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
