I'm not sure I even want to see that case argued since it could only be argued by someone looking to keep a racket going. I'm sure people with Autism need extra attention by adults, but not clearly attention by professionals who are paid in the dollars per minute level of compensation, although I'm sure many parents of autistic children might take a tiny fraction of that to care for their own children.<br /><br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-65852488536123830302018-02-09T02:28:46.669-08:002018-02-09T02:28:46.669-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02909897180135228472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-34968767126299915992018-02-08T14:01:15.979-08:002018-02-08T14:01:15.979-08:00Thank you.

During child birth and at pregnancy I presume(speculate) biological conditions of the mother can influence her neurological conditions (or vice versa?). Which could pass on genetically the neurological conditions to the child.<br />Shaun Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425084501514329529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-81411965613793850652018-02-08T13:48:44.772-08:002018-02-08T13:48:44.772-08:00Autism is generally considered to be a neurologica...Autism is generally considered to be a neurological condition, one that is not cause by psychological factors.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-52399131652675515712018-02-08T13:43:24.978-08:002018-02-08T13:43:24.978-08:00I find autism quite perplexing.

Similar to a mother who smokes crack or takes uppers - read prescriptions.<br /><br />I also understand that the world can be a window and a mirror to our soul and exposure to certain circumstances can created abnormal behaviour. With the more restrictions we have on children(no gym, no competition, etc.), would that contribute to behavioural problems? <br /><br />Do families that divorce have higher rates of autism than families that don't?<br /><br />Do children that are placed in day care develop autism at a higher rate than those that don't?<br /><br />I'm generally more curious about metrics that aren't said. It's always the absence of information that makes me wonder if something isn't being overlooked (deliberately).Shaun Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425084501514329529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-9769171878018025712018-02-08T13:41:30.221-08:002018-02-08T13:41:30.221-08:00We've problems in American with Asperger syndr...We've problems in American with Asperger syndrome, AKA high functioning Autism. A country of ~1.4M citizens & over 200,000 K12 kids has nothing to offer them but EBD (Emotional Behavior Disorder) classes which are composed of nearly all bad, rough & hard to handle boys. There is such a young girl there with very high IQ, but very hard to control. By 2nd grade they transferred her to another school offering EBD classes which had a "safe room" where they lock the kids alone sometime. She was in this class, locked in isolation from time-to-time, and the class was, but for her, ONLY boys, rough boys with medium to low IQ's. The boys frequently taunted her & hit her & the education level was far below her level. By 3rd the state outlawed "safe rooms" & her behavior caused such trouble the County DoE decided to xfer her to a central, end-of-the line EBD school composed only of the worst of the worst kids in the county. Nearly all boys, many over aged very rough boys & not too bright. Her parents pulled her out of public school & found a private one equipped to handle her & she is doing well there, but the school is primarily behavior training & the academics are subpar for normal kids & far below the childs ability. The parents now plan to augment her education at home. At 3, she started reading on her own with no prior coaching or attempts to teach her & appeared to do some small number (<10) addition & subtraction in her head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-10530842827904441772018-02-08T05:16:42.454-08:002018-02-08T05:16:42.454-08:00Once you say "France", there's not r...Once you say "France", there's not really anything to add.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.com
