Hi Rachel,

There’s a teleclass this week on autism you or your audience may be interested in. Dr. Shelby-Lane and Dr. Flynn will be discussing the issue – http://conversationswithdrshelbylane.com/

All the best,
Lisa

Rachel: I’m an AC, and I found your June 14 comment (“The questions aren’t…” in the 3rd paragraph) especially poignant and helpful. Thank you.

Okay, this is horribly off topic, but this seems as good a place as any to point out that the “autism clock” from “fighting autism” appears to have been taken down. A small victory…

This is what you get when professionals, with their ontological approach to all of everything, are made the gate-keepers/validators for supports and services. You have to fit the box; presenting a need is secondary. With ASD so much effort has gone into designing the box (diagnostic criteria) that consideration of the construction materials (etiology)has been, by and large, left out.

Oh, pardonne moi Constantin…..for thinking you were greek without even asking first. I was the one being rude!

It’s very interesting your response to me….I have been to France many times it’s a beautiful country….my mom was born there and so was her father so I am part french as well. I’m glad you like my name…

Yes I agree that the packing idea is total bollocks. I’d be tres en colere if someone did that to me!

Here in America we give way too much power to the media. I think that’s partly why they feel they can get away with distorting people’s words when they are doing interviews….and insert their own opinions into the pieces.

The comments don’t appear automatically. I have to approve each one. Comments with lots of links often go to the spam folder (so do lots of other comments). I had to go through 83 spam messages to find that one and another one. So I have to be checking the moderation queue as well the spam in order for any comments at all to get through and I don’t always do that every day.
