Who May Help?

< My Thoughts >

Loving your children... keeping them safe...
& finding out how they learn is what parenting is all about!

Each child learns differently & each parent 'parents' differently.

This website hopefully becomes a continuing source of information for you. 

When a child has difficulty learning about themselves & their world...
or, developing slowly it isn't always AUTISM. 

And, if it is AUTISM... know that it's NO ONE'S fault.
The exact cause of AUTISM is yet unknown.

What is known is that it is a NEUROLOGICAL difference in the child's brain.

This difference is possibly caused by an interaction of genes & environment.

The child 's development pattern begins to look different from other children their same age.

This difference can be from mild to severe. From the passive 'quiet' child to the 'wild' child.

Getting to know your child & getting help is the key. Knowledge can be power!

Updating FREE ASD BOOK - UNIT #7 Who May Help? Updating is always a ‘process’. During the month of August, my focus will be on UNIT #7. Please know that I appreciate and read all of your COMMENTS. Thank you for sharing my postings on Twitter & Facebook.

< My Thoughts >       “…getting help…”

As the world is gathering more evidence, concerned parents and clinicians can begin to ‘know autism & know their child.’ Only then, can the goals of treatments/therapies, and other interventions/instructional programs begin to be determined. Keep in mind, too, that too often current research contains ‘old theories’ presented as someone’s ‘new theory’
