| Missing brain wave may explain language problems in nonverbal autism |
| |
Nonverbal children with autism don't show the typical wave of brain activity involved in linking objects with their names. This is likely to be one mechanism that hampers the development of speech in these children. Researchers presented the unpublished results yesterday at the 2017 Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
About 25 percent of people with autism speak few or no words. But very few studies on language have focused on these children, so the nature of their language problems is poorly understood.
In the new study, the researchers recorded electrical activity in the brains of 10 nonverbal children with autism, aged 4 to 7, and 15 matched controls. Read on... |

| Finding a Great Support Person: "I Am More Than a Client" |
| |
"My need for support is the most important aspect of my life. Hard to imagine, but I need help in all areas of my life. The importance of finding the right support persons cannot be over emphasized. Imagine what it is like to need a support person in your home all the time. It is hard to have people around constantly. I have to choose my support staff carefully.
My search for support staff begins with looking at the needs I have and the qualities I am looking for in a support person.
The first thing I do is make a list of what I specifically need and want in a support staff. Some of the words to describe the qualities I look for are: understanding, happy, kind, flexible, willing to learn, having a sense of humor, able to make good decisions, positive, smart, energetic, enthusiastic, calm, under 30, reliable, and Ted-like. I feel Ted, a support person I have now, has those qualities. Happy people are essential to my well being because life is greatly difficult when you dearly have a body like mine, that does not respond to your wishes. Belief in my ability to frankly realize my dreams is important. I need to feel that the support person feels I am capable. Happy people are important to my keeping a good attitude. Read on... |

| Ways to Help Your Child With Autism to Fit In Socially |
| |
Autistic kids sometimes need lessons in "kid culture"
Most children with autism have a tough time fitting in with their peers. In fact, because autism's core symptoms include difficulty with social communication, social problems are almost inevitable. But while your child with autism may not ever become the homecoming king or queen (though nothing is impossible!), there are some concrete steps you can take as a parent to help your child make sense of the expectations of people around them.
Teach Your Child to Speak Like a Child
Speech and social therapists mean well, and often they do well. But most therapists are women. And most children with autism are little boys. As a result, it is not uncommon to hear little boys with autism speaking uncannily like grown women. "How are you today?" "It's a pleasure to meet you!" "How was your weekend?" Read on... |

| Why Behavioral Therapy Is the Best Way to Treat OCD in Kids |
| |
Kids need training, tools to face down obsessions
We were pleased to see the results of a recent study on the effectiveness of treatments for children with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Pleased in part because there are so few studies involving children, but also because researchers were testing not just medication for OCD, but cognitive behavioral therapy.
The study involved 7- to 17-year-olds with OCD who were divided into three groups. The first group was treated with medication. The second got medication with some instruction in cognitive techniques for managing anxiety. The third got medication with a course of behavioral therapy. After 12 weeks, the children were evaluated to see how many had at least a 30% reduction in their symptoms, measured by the severity of their anxiety, the kinds of rituals they were performing to manage that anxiety, and the amount of time they were spending on those rituals.

| Parents and Others Looking for Help!!! |
| |
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.

| The ABLE Act |
| |
ARE YOU REALLY ABLE TO SAVE?
Most people in the disability community have heard about the "Achieving Better Life Experiences" (ABLE) Act over the last few years. Finally, after nearly six years of revisions, testimony and lobbying, ABLE won final congressional approval and was signed by President Obama on December 21, 2014. While adoption by states is voluntary, California will almost certainly adopt the ABLE Act. Now more than ever is the time for special needs families and advocates to become keenly aware of what it will...and won't...do for them.
WHAT IS AN ABLE ACCOUNT?
The ABLE account was meant to be a version of the "529" (College Savings Plan), but with the tax-free withdrawals to be used for "qualified disability expenses." Advocates had hoped that these accounts would be a viable alternative to special needs trusts: exempt from being counted against the eligibility limits for SSI, Medi-Cal/Medicaid, or other means-tested programs, while having the added bonus of tax-free growth. Unfortunately, the ABLE act that came out of Congress was neither the ABLE Act that went in...nor the Act that most advocates expected. Click here for all the info!!!

| 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.

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.
