Some children may need a behavioral approach, whereas other children may need a sensory approach.
From Temple Grandin
I know a number of autistic adults that are doing extremely well on Prozac.
And while we are on the subject of medication you always need to look at risk versus benefit.
There tends to be a lot of autism around the tech centers... when you concentrate the geeks, you're concentrating the autism genetics.
I've always thought of myself as a cattle-handling specialist, a college professor first; autism is secondary.
Pressure is calming to the nervous system.
I think the core criterion is the social awkwardness, but the sensory issues are a serious problem in many, many cases of autism, and they make it impossible to operate in the environment where you're supposed to be social.
My grandfather was an engineer who invented the automatic pilot for airplanes.
When I was younger, I was looking for this magic meaning of life.
I am also a believer in an integrated treatment approach to autism.
