I'm doing some research on Aspergers Syndrome and from what I see it appears that the definition of Aspergers has expanded to include some people who do not have any form of autism, merely a certain personality type. I have a sneaking suspicion that the medical community may be looking to treat something that is a normal and possibly quite positive personality type. What do you think?

If you are a Educational Professional and work with children with disabilities or worked around them, tell me some types of toys you recommend for them and why? Or the types of towards that are age appropriate, gender-related and good for children with disabilities.

Any feedback you have would be great. Do you find it easy to locate toys for children who are disabled?

I was talking to a friend today and she has 2 children with autism. I ahve a child who has mild autisic feature and I began to think - could two moms open a school for children to come to to have a coach and work on 3 goals at a time to learn better social habits and try to better mainstream themselves more for socializing within the family, school and later on work. Can each child be assigned a coach to work on 3 goals 2x a week for 2 hours each time? Work individually and then some time to do a circle like time to practice group social skills. Is this a mode that can be used to help our children? I am social worker and my friend is a speech pathologist and we are parents. There isnt anything like this in our area. Just brainstorming here - so please send my your feedback about this very basic and preliminary idea.

I'm doing a report on special education for severely developmentally disabled children.

I heard that the number of special education schools are dwindling, if anyone can provide me with a SOURCE (I need to be able to defend where the information came from) on its numbers I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

My cousin suffers from Asperger's and his obsession with his hobbies prevent him from being able to concentrate enough on any given task to hold a job. He's legally an adult, however is child like in many ways - naive and socially inept. His parents (he lives at home) realize that he will have to make his own way in life eventually as they won't live forever. They would like to him employed, but barring that at least get some sort of gov't assistance to allow indepedent living.

Would having a doctor formally diagnose Asperger's entitle him to some disability payments or a workplace equity program?

Anyone have a theory about why it's now so common? When my son was young it was 1 in 10,000 births. Not it's like 1 in 100's. What is your thoughts on this? I don't want to read a book or anything I just wanted peoples personal thoughts, opinions and theories. Preferably parents of autistic children.

My son is now 17 and is doing really well.

I've been doing some research on Autism and Aspergers syndrome and have noticed that in the vast majority of cases the kids just look "funny" before they even say a word. It makes me think that the cause of the disorder may be more involved than the experts believe. What would be some of the reasons for this? I can imagine that this must add to some of bullying problems that they exeperience since it might cause them to be singled out

I need to write a goals statement to be accepted into a masters and credential program at Gallaudet University. There are no guidelines, I just need to explain why I want to go to this school. Everything I write sounds so fake, "I want to go because it is the best school" "I want to go because I will learn the most" and the such is all that I can think of...any suggestions on what to add??

I keep hearing terms like "legal document" and "living document" but after all the work that IEP's involve I see very few that don't get filed and forgotten until the next review. Is there a better way to ensure the needs of students with disabilities are met. I also wonder how much of the Special Education budget actually reaches the student and how much is eaten up in bureaucratic compliance and proceduralism.

I am psychologist who works in the area of autism spectrum disorders, ADHD and learning disabilities. I'm wondering if people could tell me about books or websites that they have found PERSONALLY helpful. Please do not give me a long list, I can research websites and Amazon on my own. I'm just wondering about people's EXPERIENCES, so I can make good recommendations to other parents, families and clients.

I am looking for english language websites for autistic children that are educational in nature and have games and things. I don't necessarily need websites specifically aimed at autistic children, but something which would help them learn english (these children live abroad). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
