I have never heard of this happening, and I doubt that it has. But I'm being fair and at least asking. :)

I've talked to several mothers, and read stories from many others, whose autistic children have "recovered" after receiving homebased ABA therapy. Their kids aren't 100% better obviously, but they're almost indistinguishable from their peers.

So do any of you know of a child that has improved significantly after being in an autism class in a p.s.? I would think it's near impossible, with the almost complete lack of individualized attention, you know?

My 4 yo son is autistic. I've been giving him therapy myself at home, and he has shown improvement. I think he would just "spin his wheels" in a p.s. autism class. I am trying to line up professional ABA therapy though, because I feel like I've done all I can do alone, you know? But I'm being pressured to put him in an autism class in p.s. But do the children in those classes EVER have a chance of improvement?

I am a history major at UCLA and I'm considering teaching at a community college. Would I need a Ph.D for that? I wouldn't mind teaching at a different state...how does it work in yours?

I know colleges like Western Career College and CSI College claim to be accredited by the US Dept of Education. I have looked on the site and I didn't find either school for the state of California. I want to purse a career in pharmacy, and I wanted to know if anyone here has done one of the 18 month courses and how well(or bad) it turned out for them when they tried to look for work? is it recommended or should I go another route?

It is ten past five on the evening of the 7th October 2006. In central Moscow, Russian Journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, enters her apartment block. 5 minutes later she is dead.

Anna Politkovskaya was killed because she spoke out against injustice, because she expressed her opinions and because she didn’t obey the rules.

It seems there's so many college bound students who will only be happy if they're accepted into the Harvard, or Yale, or Duke, or John Hopkins, etc. of this world. Whatever happened to just wanting to go to a regular school that has a good program that you like? Is it really that necessary for a student to be in one of top 5 schools of the world or it's all for naught?

Personally I'm of the mentality that it should be the student making the school and not the other way around. At least here in Texas Michael Dell came from a regular school (UT, and he didn't even graduate). So did LBJ (TxState). While I appreciate students aiming high in their prospective schools, IMO they just set themselves for a larger fall when things don't work out accordingly with their careers, even after attending these "prestigious" schools. It reminds me of the business grads who automatically expect to be hired as managers or CEO's of their new organizations. Any thoughts would be appreciated?

Busch is great. I’d especially love to devour a Stout Irish Dry like Guinness, although that may be unWeizen, although I Foster a hope. Under a Blue Moon I prefer Liquor; I could even enjoy Schaeffer. But if you find my Pale Bass in a ditch or beneath a Rolling Rock, you’ll know I was Killianed for posting this unFiltered, Lowenbrau query. But hey, it’s not my Faultline! Who doesn’t love Holy Grail Nut Brown?

It's so common that a person almost seems negligent if they only use one question mark or exclamation mark. It's as if the single punctuation is obsolete and meaningless.
And what is the equivalent, vocalized version of five question marks? Do you ask the question louder and with exaggerated, distorted facial experssions? And with five exclamation marks, would you read the sentence out loud by screaming at 109 decibels?
Thanks for your help in this matter !!!!!

I've decided to obtain my degree online if I don't get the chance to drive after all. I suffer from a condition related to epilepsy. If I get nailed with a seizure, I'll have to wait for 3 months to be cleared to drive. I just went to see mt neurologist nearly 2 months ago, and he said that I look healthy enough to drive, but during the last couple of days, I've nearly had about 5 seizures, but I didn't get them. Whew! That's the main reason why I can't go to school: Lack of transportaton, and that I can't drive. What do you suggest that I do? I want to return to school at the beginning of January. Really, really bad!

I heard on NPR this morning that there was a man in the Middle East who was explaining that all of the fighting has to stop. He was the one who said something like "I can live with good people anywhere in the world. We are one country." Does anyone have this quote, or the name of the man that said this?

which essay opening (essay is about how Brontë presents Jane Eyre's search for identity)

American author James Baldwin said that “an identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience”, and this is certainly definitive of the way in which Brontë presents Jane’s search for identity in Jane Eyre.

OR

St. Augustine said that “Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.” Brontë’s character of Jane is not one such person; her search for identity is comprehensively explored in her “autobiography”.
