Medication Should Never Be Considered

If You Have A 2 Or 3 Year Old Who Is Not Talking, You Must Start An Early Intervention Program. The Worst Thing You Can Do With An Autistic 3 Year Old Is To Do Nothing.

Social Thinking Skills Must Be Directly Taught To Children And Adults With Asd. Doing So Opens Doors Of Social Understandings In All Areas Of Life.

I Think The Mild Aspergers Have Always Been There. You See, Asperger's Diagnosis Did Not Become Common In The U.s. Until The Early '90s. And An Aspergers Has More Or Less Normal Speech Development And They've Always Been Here, That Hasn't Changed. I Can Think Back To When I Was In High School, This Is 40 Years Ago, I Could Name Kids In My High School Class And College Class That, Today, Would Be Diagnosed As Aspergers.

I Strongly Recommend That Students With Autism Get Involved In Special Interest Clubs In Some Of The Areas They Naturally Excel At. Being With People Who Share Your Interests Makes Socializing Easier.

There Needs To Be A Lot More Emphasis On What A Child Can Do, Instead Of What He Cannot Do.
