Guide dogs need to be predictable and usually are Labrador retrievers. With autism, the dog needs a certain ability to deal with the upredictable and solve problems instead of strict rules. What dogs have you found autistic persons do well with? What breed/crosses would you recommend and why that type?

For example, a herding dog to stop a child from wandering away or escaping out a window? or a tracker for getting lost? Or a dog that takes social initiative? Or signals for inappropriate behavior? Deal with sudden behavior change?

Another way to respond: What do you want a dog to do and what skills does the dog need to do those tasks? Thanks

My father and brother are diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and a sister suffers from schizoaffective disorder.
My father and sister have similar behaviors that doesn't seem to be treated by their medication: a lack of concern for others- they are selfish, cruel, demanding, manipulative, dominating, and prone to physical violence when they don't get what they want. They revise the truth when they are caught doing wrong, never accept blame, and will try to get away with just about anything.
That isn't from schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder is it?- Are they some kind of sociopaths? My brother is a sweetheart when he's on his meds- his personality changes once he no longer feels threatened; but even on meds, my father and sister just as selfish and mean. Why?
An example- my sister hit another sister, 6 mos. pregnant, in the face with a hard soled shoe. She claimed that she did it because my other sister was kicking her- a lie. She just didn't want to share the couch.

Is it time we took a stand against ignorance towards people with disabilities? Seriously, what has happened to common sense and human decency? I am tired of being misunderstood, patronized, hassled etc. I am tired of going place that are inaccessible on all different levels. Who agrees that we should take a stand and tolerate nothing less than equality?

When answering another question on Y!A about languages, it dawned on me that if ASL were used in other countries that it could be a universal language. Is it used elsewhere?

I have "invisible" disabilities. Just because you cant see them, does not mean they dont exist. Some disabled people have blown off legs and stuff that are obvious. However, we "invisibly" disabled people often get the worst of it...sometimes accused of faking it. For example, if you met me you may not know I am disabled. I dont use a wheel chair, dont have blown off legs. Even tho I am severely hard of hearing, I have developed some methods of dealing with it. For example, I tell the waitress exactly what I want, so I often do not even need to really hear what she says. Also, when I am very close to the speaker, have no background noise, and the speaker speaks clearly, I can sometimes hear enough to know what they are talking about, and I can respond appropriately.

I mean, I had an uncle that was deformed from birth and my dad did construction for years and had 3 back surgeries. That kind of stuff i understand. Even temp disability, because that shows that you WANT to get back into the workforce. But I know one person who gets disability for headaches. Another two for learning disabilities, even though they have shown they could do labor-intensive work. These people are the dregs on society, because they are happy to waste away their life and let the taxpayers give them much more than they ever put INTO the system.

I was looking into it in my town but I was deamed financially over qualified by the disability service in my town because my parents still support me and they had "a lot of money" on their tax forms. I even showed them my tax form from last year as well Right now they are trying to decide whether I can go work their without being charged a fee. Why do they do that, isn't it supposed to be based on whether the indivisual is disabled or not?

My friend has a disability and finds it hard to find places she can go on family days out where she knows her needs will be met (disabled toilets, parking etc). I know of a great website which can help people to find out more about attractions which are accessible, I'd be interested to know if this site would be of benefit to others... Please take a look, it's www.getaboutmobility.co.uk

In Pennsylvania it's $650.40. The federal grant of $623.00 and then the state adds $27.40 to it. Some states add to the federal grant while some don't. What is the SSI amount in your state? I'm just curious as to what states are the lowest-not adding anything- and what states add the most to the federal amount. Thanks.

I heard about there were people trying to make a city that was entirely deaf friendly as an experimental community but I don't remember anything about it or if it even came to exist. Anyway, do you think its a good idea?

I don't know about anywhere else, but in New York, there's a program for people with disabilities who aren't employed who can start a business of ANYTHING they want & the government will pay for it. Do you have any information on it? It's based in Brooklyn. Has anyone heard of it? I forgot the company's name.
