Can cartoons, movies, tv impact your ASD Child?
In general, I’ve never been big a big fan of blaming violent movies, TV, or video games, for the acts committed by people who view them regularly. However, if you have a kid with autism, you might consider taking a look at what exactly your child is watching.

In our case, our daughter is super perceptive even when we think she is focused on something else entirely. She also seems to tune in to our moods, which can also be a factor considering what you are watching.

I’m Pro Life, but I gotta say, this guy is pretty pathetic. He for sure gets a nomination to the A-Hole Extraordinaire Hall of Fame. This is a very exclusive club consisting of Michael Savage, Dennis Leary, and Rush Limbaugh.

President’s Day reminds me again that President Obama seems to have forgotten all about the “Autism Czar”. I realize he probably won’t use the term Czar after people went nutzo on this term. He also refered to this person as a Federal ASD Coordinator in his campaign promise. That’s fine, ASD Coordinator will do fine. He did appoint a special adviser on disability policy and applied over $12B in stimulus money towards IDEA (special education funding via the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act). It is also worth note that stimulus money for IDEA is temporary and does not represent a longer term commitment. IDEA funding has not been raised to full levels.

I am sick and frickin’ tired of seeing these autism murder suicides. Mom or Dad can’t take it any more. Can’t bear to think of how their child’s life will end up, decides to off everyone involved. For some reason, these people who are good at killing their children, often screw it up and survive themselves. How convenient.

As kids, most of us were not too fond of going to the dentist. Often a scary ordeal even for “neurotypical” children, it can be downright terrifying to kids with autism. For one thing, they are asked to sit still for an extended period of time while a stranger poke, picks, and scrapes around in their mouth with various instruments. The odds are very high that the first few trips to the dentist will be less than successful.
