Some people might like short details about autism from various articles I read. I will always explain where the article is from so you can read the original yourself. My mom sent a few from Indiana.
1. Zionsville mother creates program for autistic children. My mom left off a few details like where this was published but it is written my Julie Osborne editorial@youarecurrent.com so I am sure you can contact her to read the original. This mother of six, Becky Cash has created the Autism Spectrum Disorders Parent Program. She feels that no family so be without information on resources and where to obtain services for their child. Wow, four of her six children have medical and special need and three of them have ASD. She has also written a book called "Healing Autism Naturally". You can check out more information at www.ASKPerspectives.com. This might be great help for parents so check it out.
2. Progress in Identifying the Genetic Roots of Autism by Melinda Beck. Of course this is one of the articles I found but also clipped off where it was published. I will need to do better. (Perhaps the Wall Street Journal or New York Times. I am so sorry) The author states that sciences have found about 20% of cases of autism are related to genetic abnormalities. Testing can help explain if siblings are like to develop this disorder. They recommend more testing for Fragile X and other chromosome abnormalities. Experts think there can be between 400 to 10000 individual genes that can play a part in autism issues. I think this is an important area to study and that those with autism should be tested so scientists can study this in more detail. Perhaps we can learn how to overcome some of the behavior by treating the genes.
