| Experimental drugs rewire brain connections in autism |
| |
New research from the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas has identified two potential new treatments for autism spectrum disorder, targeting the impact of a faulty gene on neural communication.
Autism - which is often used as an umbrella term for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - is characterized by repetitive behaviors, impaired social communication, and very focused interests.
According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 1 in 68 children in the United States have been diagnosed with ASD.
Treatments for ASD are often focused on addressing the behavioral symptoms and helping people with the disorder to learn better communication strategies. So far, relatively few efforts have targeted the biological causes of autism. Read on... |

| San Dieguito continues to pay thousands as a result of its failure to listen to spec ed parents. |
| |
This past October, the school board approved the hiring of a $30K facilitator to govern the district's special education task force, which the board approved this past summer to address the mounting and unaddressed problems in the district's special education programs. The district will also pay substitute teachers to cover the class loads of teachers attending the monthly 4+ hour meetings held during the school day. (Parents will not be paid to participate). Another $25K was approved to hire Hanover Research Council to provide research and surveys to support the Special Education Department. These are but a few of the expenses resulting from the lack of reform in our district.
The San Dieguito Special Education task force was created this past summer after a public outcry at an August meeting revealed how district administrators overseeing special education had failed to address the continuing problems raised during the district's volunteer special education forum committee the year before. Mark Miller, the district's associate superintendent in charge of special education, was not at the August public meeting, but has stated he attended several of the the special education forum committee meetings during the 2016-17 school year. It is unclear why no action was taken during the 2016-2017 year to address the concerns raised at those meetings, but the task force with its $30K facilitator is scheduled to meet during the 2017-2018 to finally address the ongoing problems. These meetings are open to the public and attendees may present public comments about special education topics. (The next meeting is scheduled for November 28, 2017). Read on... |

| What Is Oppositional Defiant Disorder? |
| |
When disruptive behavior drives a wedge between parents and children
When parents start googling behavior issues, one phrase tends to jump out: oppositional defiant disorder. It's easy to see why. "The words 'oppositional' and 'defiant' show up in parents' vocabulary fairly frequently," says Dr. David Anderson, director of the ADHD and Behavior Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute. "It's one of the more aptly named diagnoses that exists."
Whether your child has oppositional defiant disorder (or ODD) or not, learning about the disorder can be helpful. That's because the behavior management strategies used in treatment are evidence-based techniques that all parents will benefit from knowing. Read on... |

| Autism in fragile X syndrome tied to seizures, sleep problems |
| |
In people with fragile X syndrome, autism is often accompanied by seizures, trouble falling asleep and anxiety, a new study suggests1.
Fragile X syndrome is an inherited form of intellectual disability. Small studies and family surveys have hinted that people who have both fragile X and autism have more neurological and behavioral problems than people who have fragile X alone2. The new findings confirmed these observations in more than 200 people with both conditions.
"The study is the first large-scale study of autism spectrum disorder in fragile X syndrome," says lead researcher Walter Kaufmann, Ravenel Boykin Curry Chair in Genetic Therapeutics at the Greenwood Genetic Clinic in Greenville, South Carolina. Read on... |

| Parents and Others Looking for Help!!! |
| |
My son is 5 and he will be in Kindergarten the next school year. He is currently in TK, and he is doing fine. He has an IEP, and he he is on general education with some support fron school staff. We would like to apply by choice to the following schools:
Holmes Elementary, Curie PTA Elementary, Spreckels Elementary
Do you have any experience with any of these schools in relation with the support and awareness for kids on the spectrum. Are these good options ? I will really appreciate your help and comments. Please write to [email protected]
My son is almost 19 and next year he will finish his certificate. He is done with typical academia. He is not interested in formal college. Are there different choices besides adult day programs or college. Employment is an option, however that seems limiting.
Are there any other ideas or options out there?
Laura [email protected]
I have a number of parents with whom I work who restrain their children with autism in times of escalation (e.g. physically harming others or self). None of them have been trained (e.g. PART training) on how to do so appropriately like the training we receive in special schools and inpatient units. Does anyone have a resource for parents to be properly trained? Thank you.

Looking for an autism friendly art studio for my 23 year old daughter. Her primary interest is painting but I would like to expose her to other artists mediums.

Thanks so much! [email protected]

| As a friend of ValeriesList you are invited to a special performance of America's favorite holiday fable returning for its 20th joyous year! |
| |
Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book. Back for its 20th incredible year, the family favorite features the songs "This Time of Year," "Santa for a Day," and "Fah Who Doraze," the delightful carol from the popular animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Celebrate the holidays as The Old Globe is once again transformed into a snow-covered Whoville, right down to the last can of Who-hash.
Space is limited, get your tickets now!
For ticket to our sensory-friendly performance, please call the Box Office at (619) 234-5623, and say ValeriesList

More about Sensory-Friendly Performances
For its sixth year, The Old Globe will offer a sensory-friendly performance of the holiday classic Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! on Saturday, December 9, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. Following in the footsteps of successful sensory-friendly performances of The Grinch and Into the Woods in seasons past, The Grinch will be performed for children and adults on the autism spectrum and their families, as well as other families with special needs that may appreciate the welcoming and supportive environment this performance provides.
What is a Sensory-Friendly Performance?
In order to help make the experience safer and more enjoyable for theatregoers with autism and other sensitivity issues, slight adjustments are made to the production including:
- Fewer loud noises and flashing lights that may be challenging for some audience member.
- The lobby of the theatre will serve as a quiet area for children who need to leave their seat during the show.
- On-site volunteer specialists will be on hand to assist families as they arrive at the Old Globe Theatre and throughout the performance.
An online social story will be available for parents to view and print at home that outlines in words and pictures the experience that families will have during their trip to see Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Families can make an appointment to "meet their seat" and familiarize themselves with Balboa Park and the Old Globe Theatre. |

| The Special Education Advocacy & Law Firm of Thomas S. Nelson |

Your child's education comes first.
Your child is entitled to a "free and appropriate public education" or FAPE, whereby the school addresses all of your child's unique needs. A school district must provide your child with an appropriate education regardless of budget cuts, what's convenient, or what's available. Too often the school district offers a "one size fits all" program that fits within their needs, but not within the unique needs of your child. Ensuring that your child's education comes first means having the right team on your side. An effective team works cooperatively and collaboratively with the school district, using their knowledge, expertise and experience to foster quick and yet effective resolutions.
Practice Areas:
- Special Education Advocacy, including appearances at IEPs, obtaining/reviewing educational records, evaluation of current program
- Special Education Law, including representation in due process disputes regarding eligibility, assessments, IEP programming, private placement, manifestation determination meetings, and discipline
- General Education Discipline, including representation at expulsion hearings and appeals
- 504 Plans, including advocacy and legal representation at 504 Plan meetings and due process
- Civil Rights Claims, including representation in federal and state court proceedings regarding civil rights violations
- Regional Center Claims, including advocacy and legal representation at IPP meetings, obtaining/reviewing educational records, evaluation of current program, due process hearings, and appeals
- Appeals, including legal representation at federal and state court regarding appeals of IDEA, 504, expulsion, and civil rights matters
Serving children of all school districts located within San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino & Imperial Counties.

| Fall Social Groups Enrolling Now! |
| |
Our groups explore the social cognition and communication skills that support successful and rewarding peer relationships, family interactions and academic achievement. We work to develop better social cognition, including social problem solving, social interpretation, and social expression.
We have options for all ages from preschool to college age students. Below are descriptions of our programs and information on enrolling. Email Janet Dudley at [email protected] or call 858-558-9552 to learn more and to schedule a free consultation.
SOCIAL LEARNING GROUPS
All lessons are driven by the needs of our students. We look at social strengths and challenges along with age and developmental level and develop lessons tailored for each student. Below is a sample of what students might learn.
Ages 4-7
Social communication skills are taught via play-based groups with stories, play and structured activities and lessons. Some concepts taught include learning how to follow the group plan, improving flexible thinking (in order to handle those moments when things don't go their way!), participating in cooperative play and improving social use of language.
Ages 8-18
- Reading nonverbal cues (facial expression, body language)
- Developing perspective taking and the ability to identify what others might be thinking and feeling
- How to be part of a group
- Understanding how social expectations change with age
- Recognize impulses and develop self-control
- Observe and interpret social expectations
- Social problem solving
- Dealing with anxiety and frustration/regulating emotions
- Conversational skills - being an effective communicator
- Understand how they impact those around them
- Figuring out what's expected and unexpected and how those behaviors make others feel
- Executive functioning skills - planning, organization and time management.
Who is a good fit for our program?
Our approach to social learning is heavily language based. Children we work with have average to above-average language skills and can participate safely within a structured setting without the need for behavioral supports.

| Support & Information for Adults: Housing |

Tuesday, November 14, 2017
6:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Autism Society of San Diego
4699 Murphy Canyon Rd
San Diego, CA 92123
This month will focus on the critical need for quality, fair housing. We will have 3 dynamic speakers who are working to address this need for our community.
About 71.5% of people with developmental disabilities are currently receiving residential care from family caregivers. As these caregivers age (at present, 25% of caregivers are over age 60), the question of "what is going to happen to this child when I die?" is inevitable. While there are various types of supportive living communities in California addressing this issue, there is just not enough to meet the growing demand.
Villa de Vida is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enable adults with special needs to live as independently as possible by building residential communities with support programs that meet the needs of each resident. Hunter Christian, Executive Director and mother of an adult on the spectrum, will present.
On June 2nd, 2015, Villa de Vida entered into an exclusive negotiating rights agreement with the City of Poway in San Diego County to build a 54-unit apartment complex. The agreement seeks to pursue further discussions and negotiations with the City of Poway to evaluate the possibility of developing a 3.18 acre site in Paguay Redevelopment Project Area, consistent with the city's plan to revitalize the area, provide affordable housing, and bring economic and employment benefits to the city.The development, subject to further due diligence, approval and permitting, would target completion in 2020.
LiveAble Communities, LLC Lifelong Housing and Care Solutions for Families with Special Needs. David Moore is the Development Director for LiveAble Communities, a new company formed for the purpose of developing housing communities in California for developmentally disabled adults. The current project under development is a new independent apartment community on a 10 acre site in Lake Elsinore, CA. A 36,000 square foot building exists on the property and will be renovated as a part of the project. The community will provide housing and support services for 200 adults with I/DD.
Branden G. Butler, Senior Attorney, Fair Housing Center of the Legal Aid Society (2009-present). Prior to law school, Branden worked as a Housing Advocate at Communities Actively Living Independent and Free (CALIF), a disability rights organization in the skid row section of downtown Los Angeles. Branden's passion for housing issues continued when he was instrumental in creating a new fair housing program at LASSD that specifically addresses housing discrimination. Branden has litigated fair housing cases in federal court on a broad range of issues and regularly conducts fair housing trainings for organizations. Branden is currently the President of the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions after the presentations. Light refreshments will be served. We look forward to seeing you!

| MitoSpectra for Mitochondrial Dysfunction |
| |
What is Mitochondrial Dysfunction?
Within each cell are "power sources" called mitochondria. In patients with autism and related disorders, these mitochondria may not function properly. This causes a decrease in cell performance and has been linked to hyperactivity, abnormal fatigue, muscle weakness, and regression of social and language skills.
A Link to Autism
During the last two decades, scientists have made a connection between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and mitochondrial dysfunction. In 2009, researchers from Johns Hopkins University produced guidelines for the treatment of ASD patients with mitochondrial failure. They recommended a vitamin cocktail to restore the function of mitochondria, and improve brain chemistry.

| Participate in a Research Survey! |
| |
I am a graduate student of Communication Disorders at Eastern New Mexico University. The reason I'm reaching out is to see if ValeriesList can assist me with my graduate research. My focus is how applied behavior analysis (ABA) techniques are viewed by parents of children with autism. To collect information for my research I have an online questionnaire with a 12 minute video on survey monkey. Would it be possible for you to put the survey link in a newsletter or email to reach your followers? This research is very exciting to me, as it will illuminate perceptions of an important strategy in improving the lives of children with autism.

| Parents and Children Needed for Student Research |

My name is Shamayne Brown and I am a doctoral student at Alliant International University. This study is examining the attention abilities of kids with ASD and their parents. I am recruiting families with a child with ASD as well as families with typically developing children.
We are looking for boys, ages 8 to 16 years old, who have a diagnosis of ASD and their biological parents - both mother and father need to participate. We are also looking for boys, ages 8 to 16 years old, who are typically developing and both of their biological parents to serve as a control group.
If you and your family are eligible for participation, you will be asked to come to a lab at the Neuroscience Institute at Alliant International University. You and your child's other parent will be asked to complete consent forms and questionnaires about your own behaviors; this should take you each about 25 minutes. You will also be given questionnaires about your child's behaviors. Only one parent needs to fill out these questionnaires and should take about 25 minutes complete. You, your child, and your child's other parent will complete a cognitive test, which will take about 30 minutes. Each of you will then play some games on a computer. This will take each person about 30 minutes. Your child's participation will take approximately one hour. Your participation and that of your child's other parent will take approximately one and a half to two hours.
After your child completes his tasks, he will receive a $20 cash gift as an appreciation for his participation. Once you and your child's other parent have completed all tasks, you will each receive a $10 gift card as a token of appreciation for your participation. For further information, please contact Shamayne Brown at
[email protected] or 619-416-1799. Thank you for your time.
