| is seroquel (quetiapine) a neuroleptic? Polyrhythmia 23:08:45 |
| | I was wondering if Seroquel can cause brain damage such as tardive
dyskinesia. I fear that I have been given a Hobson's choice when it comes
to medication. Take it or lose your job...

| There is this funny dancing green ant Dobey The Elf 18:16:56 |
| | http://www.onlinegameworld.com/getcontent.php?cat=Funny+Games&id=183&rat=1
Our playoholics site is not working right so I had to go find another
free online game site and found this one. You can make the ant dance
six different dances and have different voices and it is really fun!
Plus if you change them while he is dancing it is very fun. I can't
dance so it its actually amazing.
Well that's it. I have to see what kidn of dance steps this ant can do?

| OT: Technical Computer Queries Guest 15:33:12 |
| | X-No-Archive: yes
A couple of queries - just wondered if anyone here can help?
I plugged a new piece of hardware into a USB port. There's now an icon
on my bottom toolbar which, when I put the mouse over it, says "Safely
Remove Hardware". Is this something I have to click if I want to remove
the lead into the USB port? What would be the consequence of forgetting
to click on it before doing so? Is it safe to remove the lead (without
clicking the "Safely Remove Hardware") when the computer is switched
off?
On another matter, I'm also thinking about switching to Broadband
because there was something I wanted to download which I couldn't do
using dial-up (2 hour maximum connection). Does anyone else here use
Broadband? Is it a good idea? Are there any security measures I should
take? I already have Windows XP firewall switched on (and use an
anti-virus software). Is there anything else I would need to create as
good a level of protection as I have with dial-up?
Thanks in advance.

NEED HELP!!!  mousie 01:45:47 |
 | My son is turning 3 next week October 1, 2006 and has not even come
close to receving a IEP meeting date he has not even gone through the
SD assessments we havent even signed an assessment plan. Who can I ask
for to continued services until an IEP meeting date? The school
District or the Regional Center? Also I was told a little about the
transition to the school district at least 6 months ago if not longer
it would seem that there was time to have done the proper things so he
would have had an IEP before or by the time he's 3. I am new to all of
this and dont know for sure how the whole process takes place my case
worker hasnt been to help ful in informing me about to much of anything.
We met with the SD once at the GGRC office in SF it was a brief meeting
that I was told was suppose to be basicly the transfere of assessments
and info about my son from the GGRC to the SD my worker also told me it
was when the GGRC would tell the SD that my son had Autism and would be
needing assessments for special education kind of like a referral.
So we met and I was told I was going to receive a packet in teh mail a
Questionaire typ forms that I needed to fill out ASAP and send back
then I would be called soon after that for an assessment.
When I received the packet in the mail almost a week later I had to
fill out a couple of forms with questions about my concerns then it
said I had to include a letter stating that I am requesting a
assessment for my child and why I thought he needed one. Which I
thought it was clear already that he was going to need a assessment
from the SD and that is what the GGRC was doing for us at that first
meeting. So I am assuming know after waiting a week to receive this
questionaire then filling it out writing the request letter sending it
back and having to wait for them to receive it and look over it which I
read they have up to 15 days to do then they will send me or call me to
let me know if a assessment is even needed and to sign a assessment
plan which after that then the assessments will be done within 60 days.
All of this besides the request letter and questionaire being sent back
hasnt been done and my son will be 3 on the 1st of October. Which at
that time any services he was getting from the GGRC will be cut off
this friday coming up what is my son to do for the remaining time it
could be possibly up to 75 days until this process is finished.
Would this be something I can fill out a compliance complaint for and
should I?
If anyone can give me a direction to go to please do soon I feel like
time is just passing us by and I dont know what to do
I live in the San francisco Ca area if that makes a difference regarding the laws. |

| | Book recommendation for you. "Thinking in Pictures - My Life with
Autism (Expanded Edition)" by Temple Grandin. ISBN 0-307-27565-5. As I
am reading the book tonight I find myself thinking of you from time to
time. I'm thinking hey, Chaz oughta read this!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307275655/
Here and there she has comments about the need for auties to learn
manners. She has a very moderate approach to behavioral intervention
which is a breath of fresh air compared to the extremist pro- and anti-
positions one encounters on the Internet. Check out "Sometimes
Consequences Are Needed" (page 99-100).
Also lots of explanations of how autistic people think and feel. In
this expanded edition she acknowledges the wide diversity that exists
within autism. She refers to and quotes from other autistic
autobiographies. This might help you understand autistic viewpoints.
There are also several short anecdotes of her youth and career that, it
seems to me, you could read aloud to a young Aspie with positive
effect. If Junior doesn't have any Aspie mentors in real life it might
help him to meet a few through the books they've written.

| news- autistic boy wins suit over aerobatic plane noise X. Rayburn 03:11:26 |
| | http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L04932829.htm
NICOSIA, Aug 4 (Reuters) - An autistic child in Cyprus has won 250,000
pounds ($568,200) in damages for the distress caused by the noise from
British aerobatic display jets.
In the first case of its kind, a Cypriot district court said the boy
had suffered actual bodily harm from the Red Arrows, a British
aerobatics team which visits Cyprus every year to train.
After testimony from several doctors, the court said the noise of the
jets had caused the boy extreme distress.
The case was not brought against Britain, which maintains two military
bases on the Mediterranean island, but the Cypriot government for
"failure to protect its citizens", said Christos Pourgourides, a lawyer
for Alexandros Costaki's family.
"The case was brought against the Cyprus government because under the
prevailing legal regime we cannot sue a foreign state, which is the
British government, in the Cypriot courts," Pourgourides said on
Friday.
"Obviously the Cyprus government from now on should not allow them to
overfly Cyprus and I would advise the government to seek recovery of
this amount from the British government," Pourgourides told Reuters.
Authorities have the right to appeal against the ruling.
The child lives in Limassol, a port town on the southern coast which
borders RAF Akrotiri, a military facility maintained by Britain for
decades and where the Red Arrows train.
Cypriot government officials were not immediately available for comment.
"The (British) bases have not seen the judgement. We will take legal
advice as to the ruling and if it has any implications," said Dennis
Barnes, a spokesman for the bases.

| Stims and or Benign Behaviors Phyl 07:48:18 |
| | I recently took my 14 year son to the beach. He is on the autistic
spectrum higher end with language and fairly good social skills, but
does not converse yet. He was well-behaved, but wanted to sit by the
ocean in the wet sand and lift the watery sand up into the air with his
hands and watch it fall/drip down in front of him. I gave him the
shovel and asked him to fill the bucket so we could build a sandcastle,
but he wanted to "stim." Should I insist that he build and always do
something constructive, redirecting from the stims. Should I have been
redirecting him from stims this whole time? I always believed he
needed to do some stims to release tension or relax. Please let me
know what other parents think/feel about this.
Thank you.
