Autism Topic -- Main Posting

I am the parent of a child with Autism.

I created this website for practice with keeping a blog.

I have since created another website called "Ideoforms Indications" at Blogspot to put a lot of the things I have posted in Forums and other places to consolidate them for my use. I have begun to post some information there on Autism.

I think that one of the Forums I have regularly posted to might be closing down soon. I collect quotes and do some writing and opinion pieces and was using that Forum to do that. It was nice to have my favorite stuff in one place, but now that place is changing, and so I am copying postings to Ideoform's Indications.

Background on the Autism information on this site:
My son went through a treatment program funded through research. At one point I was asked to write down other treatments I had tried, and things I was doing to help his Autism symptoms. This is the original source of the Autism information on this site. Because its such a large amount of information, when I consult with parents and teachers about Autism treatments and what I did with my own family, I have found it easier to just refer them to this website instead of printing up everything each time. People can print out what they like, or just read it online.

I have used quotes in IEP meetings, and articles on various things I think will help someone working with an Autistic person to teach them and relate to them.

Eventually I am only going to maintain one site and will combine the two. I am linking this blog with that one, instead of moving all the posts to that site because I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

So this site has only a few of my recent items. For more information and quotes, please go to Ideoform's Indications.
