Working For A Cure

Pat 6 October 2007 01:05:49
 Hi Folks,
I am starting an exercise program called Body For Life, I put a site up
on info for the diet, I have partnered with Autism Speaks so any useful
information I provide about this diet hopefully people will donate.

I set this site up soley for the purpose of people getting good info
and donating for Autism. Thanks
Pat Clark

Um, if you want people to get good information about autism, why are you
partnering with Autism Speaks?

They definitely don't represent autistic people. Just their parents.

Although, if you're after a *cure* for autism, maybe that's why...

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. Is there any
organization in the US that advocates acceptance of autistic people
and reasonable treatment of autistic children? Is there any
non-profit organization that you would recommend as a source of info
to parents with newly diagnosed kids?

Basically, you want us to help sponsor you. You lose weight and donate
to Autism Speaks.

Well, no thanks. I'm not looking for a cure. I'm looking for a way to
get people to accept and value auties as they are.

I am glad you have rethought things.
So what is the answer, does any of this stuff help at all? Is ABA bad?

Some things do help I think. I don't think ABA is necessarily bad it is just
how it is done most times. Often people insist it needs to be done 40 hours
a week which on top of school and other therapies makes for a horrific
"work" schedule for very young children. It is also often used to simply
eliminate autistic behaviour without giving any thought to the functionaliy
of that behaviour.

What works for communication also vaires. Some do find signs useful and
others use PECS. Others like me take speech therapy. Like anything in autism
there is huge variation in what will be helpful.

 I'm glad you've rethought things too.

the problem is that autism is a "spectrum". I think people look for the
"answer" when there needs to be a spetcrum of answers. I guess a critical
element is helping the autistic to cope instead training the autistic to be
acceptable

did you say what started your interest in autism?
