sTART THE aUTISM cONVERSATION ~ free asd book

4/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
This image represents 'autism' to me. Although it is not my son, many times Sonny viewed his surroundings in just this way. 

April is World Autism Awareness/Acceptance Day. The numbers of autism cases are growing across the globe; so, is the research. Most of this research is new; while some is older research viewed from a new perspective. Hopefully, this will help us try to keep up with what it means to be on the ‘autism spectrum’. My wish is to make a collection of this work in a FREE ASD BOOK; easily available on my website www.sarasautismsite.com; under MENU.

My book: Know Autism – Know Your Child: with < My Thoughts > by Sara Luker is written as a multidisciplinary approach to providing information about Autism Spectrum Disorder. Within is an anthology of current and past findings, as well as guided inquiries. These are often written in ‘prose’ (stating the current thoughts). Plus, < My Thoughts > in response to ‘referenced’ excerpts from peer-reviewed material. There are images, appendices, and many ‘true-life’ stories. Thus, giving readers the opportunity to begin their own autism conversation. Perhaps providing points of reference for readers to research autism in their own way.
 
Originally, the focus of my information gathering was to assist the growing number of parents who have recently experienced the shock and disbelief of learning that their child has ‘autism’. Then, the healthcare provider may also advise them that there isn’t an ‘autism-specific’ healthcare plan available. And, to their surprise, there are no general set life expectations trajectories to follow.
 
Understanding a sense of frustration, it was important for me to include a special anthology of personal stories; where the ‘voices of experiences’ could be heard. As a parent of an adult child with autism, as an educator, and a ‘forever student’, < My Thoughts > are offered throughout this collection to offer my 'educated' comments. Please let this material help you begin your own ‘personal’ journey into the world of Autism. As a reader, parent, clinician, therapist, educator, and/or nursing professional, ‘do the work’, join in the ‘search’.

This material reflects my 30-year journey which ended abruptly with the sudden death of my husband who was Sonny’s devoted father and caregiver. Then, three months later, as the result of grief, failure to thrive, and a Grand Mal seizure, 37-year-old Sonny went to join his father. Forever together again, as their spirits soar, these noble souls may now know the secrets of the Universe.
 
For the rest of us, there is so much yet to learn about the mystery of the autism brain, with its complex neuroanatomy. We don’t know why the autism spectrum is so broad. What we do know, is that autism is a disorder with ‘no’ apparent cure. The ‘hope’ seems to lie in the current recommendation for ‘Early Intervention.’
 
< My Thoughts >             “…‘Early Intervention.’”
 
Be aware that professionals say the term ‘Early Intervention’ itself may be a misnomer. Many ‘interventions’ and suggestions about products/services, and/or treatments mistakenly may advocate unfounded ‘cures’, or suggest ‘long-term’ positive effects. Know also, that 'autism' is an 'unregulated business' to many.
 
Often, the autistic brain can be sending ‘mixed messages’; which confuses perception of the environment. This may be leading to ‘sensory’ issues. More confusion for the individual on the autism spectrum may be having ‘co-morbid’ issues; such as anxiety, depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and/or a seizure disorder. 

When the time for ‘early intervention’ has passed, know that adults with autism may find that a 'late diagnosis' can answer many questions about who they are. It is never too late to learn about ourselves.


Regards, Sara Luker

​Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, has
followed ‘Autism Sara’ on Twitter & ‘sarasautismsite.com’, almost from
the beginning. I’m not certain what his autism interest is,
but he has several well known generous philanthropic connections.
 
But, Sonny’s dad was born in Philly and a huge Eagles fan.
Their organization has a focus for autism families.

Retrieved online from:
https://www.eaglesautismchallenge.org/

Today, millions of people around the world are connected to
autism. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 in
44 people under 21 living in the United States are on the
autism spectrum, making it the fastest-growing
developmental disorder. For Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey
Lurie, it is personal. With autism in his own family, Lurie
knows his is just one of many families dealing with this
condition and has seen firsthand the difference the right
resources can make.

The Eagles Autism Challenge is dedicated to raising funds
for innovative research and care programs. By providing the
necessary resources to doctors and scientists at leading
institutions, we will be able to assist those currently affected
by autism as well as future generations. Our event aims to
inspire and engage the community, so together; we can
provide much-needed support to make a lasting impact in
the field of autism.

BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS!!!

         Just to let you know that I, Sara Luker, have put forth my best efforts in presenting what I have learned over my 30 years with autism, Sharing Extended Book Reviews of  stories about those who have gone before us.      
         Understand that all health matters ALWAYS require medical decisions/diagnosis/treatment by highly qualified and licensed individuals. See website DISCLAIMER.

         Here you will find excerpts containing a combination of selections, synopses, general information prose, quotes and references to peer-reviewed articles.

         Plus < My Thoughts >, which are my responses to the material; as a state certified educator with a 2013 Master’s Degree in Special Education, and over 30 years as Sonny’s mom.

         The BLOGs on this site are meant to be insightful and timely. Comments and Responses are welcomed.

         The offered DOWNLOAD material is organized in UNITs and Chapters. The autism information comes from –

    *Peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, informational     and educational-writer articles.

    *Prose, which explains the currently circulating general public knowledge.

    *Personal, < My Thoughts > which are ‘educated   guesses’ about what it all means.

    *Poignant synopses of published parent stories.

    *Pages filled with decisions, denial, cited references, definitions, appendices, and more.

     Hearing the words “this child has autism,” parents are often shell-shocked.

         Then, in the face of so many more questions racing through their minds, the doctor says, “Just go online and read everything you can about autism.”

         
    Yes, disturbingly this kind of professional advice is given to many of our families.

    ​  If you are one of those families, or clinicians, I hope this material will give you a good start.
