Hello Das999 Glad you found it so, it's only in fun <grins> the writer of the Institute in question, is a man called Steve who after 41 yrs not on the spectrum finds that he now has a diagnosis as such.

The term NT has in this case been used instead of its full title - Neurotypical, it is quite frequently abbreviated to NT, a term used by some autistic individuals and even by those individuals who study them. It refers to people whose neurological development is normal. Please have a look at the following website - it is not to be taken seriously though, and as such please dont be offended, the content of this site is a parody. It is not to be taken literally it is basically a fake institute (apparently? <grins>) with the sole purpose of finding a cure for neurotypicality There have been some people who have found this particular site (isnt.autistics.org) offensive, it is essentially a complete humorous turn around on how autistic people can be viewed by society. http://www.isnt.autistics.org/ Steve..

Hello everyone, My son today-first day back after holiday, he had quite a tantrum and mini meltdown he and mum got to school late. Just as gets used to the idea of being off school, this break then becomes part of his latest routine. Then will then also gets upset because it back to school again, I know that this presents a problem for everyone (ASD's myself included) but for the children, what kind of strategies do you yourselves put into practice to ease things? Do they work? Do you use a story-board to let him know in advance of the things that will happen say over the next few days/weeks etc, using pictures of events that will happen over this coming period, preparing him for the big event. You thoughts please. Steve.. I think the boy means well but he is distinctly inclined to be inattentive...... Tutor of Winston Churchill to Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston's father

Hello everyone, My solution. 007paul007 Yes sure, thats no problem, wacco got it correct as I see it over at mine, MotherEve you too were correct here. I suggest we all let someone else have a try after all. Maybe then the person who answers it correctly this next time will do the honour of placing a puzzle here for others to try, and the person answering that will do the same and so on, a continual puzzle thread so to speak. That was the whole intention over at mine but it didn't work out like that. Steve.. I think the boy means well but he is distinctly inclined to be inattentive......

Hello LLaverty, We as parents have not long since finished the Earlybird plus course it has been worthy learning tool, my wife gained the most benifit , being on the spectrum myself(AS) the whole Autistic Spectrum Disorder subject is actually one of my obsessions as is computing (or as I prefer to call them my special interests, even if they do get intense), although I did learn don't think I didn't. However a lot of what its about i knew of, through being on the spectrum, and having the 'special interest'. My wife has said it has helped her see things differently the iceberg approach, and has helped us greatly in proving ways to create develop coping strategies. Being Asperger, I don't see sometimes the difficulties of why we sometimes struggle (cross purposes)- as i may think of something and because, just because I have thought it, I will assume that she will know exactly what i'm talking about. In retrospect then, because I have known things in quite some depth about ASD's I would assume her to know the very same information. so with this in mind it has even helped here very much, although both my son and myself have our moments. for anyone making enquiries regarding obtaining a place on Earlybird course, I have placed the following: here is a list of EarlyBird Plus licensed teams and a list of the areas they cover.on this link hope it's of help. http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=468&a=5604 Steve..

Hello everyone, I have been wanting for some time now to gather some information for a personal study of which I am presently involved with. I wish collate the following information listed on the link below, as such I hope you will be able to help me. The only requirement from you is just a few moments of your time. 21 questions in all .

Hello Brook, Reading through your post reminds me of myself and my son in what you write about. Sensory issues are a big issue with us both, certain pitches of sound bother us both some times unbelieveably so. There is a condition which i am not sure if you may be aware of called Hyperacusis which is an abnormal acuteness of hearing due to increased irritability of the sensory neural mechanism; characterized by intolerance for ordinary sound levels. This can sometimes be for him a contributing factor to his sensory overloads, due to the fact some sounds can be unbearable and others just really hurt. if you want more information on Hyperacucsis let me know or look below my signature.I have links sites for a Hyperacusis. I am in the process of obtaining a CD's on pink noise which is a purified version of white noise again if you want more details let me know, these help you build up a tollerance to everyday white noise( which is around us all the time). Sometimes when you are younger you cannot always say why things like sharp noises hurt or why you feel as you do in a given situation. If you are quite concerned I feel you may need to seek specialist help, firstly through your GP if you voice your concerns someting will get done - this post of mine will not I hope imply that he may be suffering from this condition. Sometimes too much going on, too much information coming at you at the same time, too many people talking at the same time, tv on music these kind of things lead me and my son to present the traits you speak of. hope this helps in some way.

Hello Bullet, My name is Steve I see a great deal of myself, and my seven year old ( both Asperger's )in the desciption of your son when he was younger - However, does that mean that your son has autism not all. The verbal repetition is as Carole writes is indeed called 'Echolalia' The term Echolalia - is the repetition or echoing of verbal utterances made by other person. It has been reported to 75% of autistics exhibit echolalia in some form. However I feel the fact that Echolialia in the broader sense of the word can indeed help a child learn a language through repetition ( most people do this, to teach younger children words) - this is not meaning that most are on the spectrum, as indeed it doe's not imply your child to be on the spectrum either. Some of the other points you mention, I feel personally- yes it is quite possible -Some traits may indeed indicate the possiblity of ASD to be there, Just as much as possible is the fact that ASD may not be there. I am not meaning to evasive of anything from your post, but I do believe that the best course of action you can take, based on your suspicions at this moment in time, you are or have actually done already which is to obtain a professional opinion of things, I agree with Elanor you should attempt to write things down that are of concern to you.

Hello Everyone, My name is Steve, From a personal point of view, I am on the spectrum myself and have a son who also has Aspergers. I like nikrix also have just set up a new website and forum. as Nikrix states it always seems quite difficult to get the these things kicked started, it is very hard , I would really appriciate it if anyone could pop over (to visit)and sign up etc. I look forward to meeting you, I know some members have been across thank you all . Personally I do not mind sharing my resourses, I see it as another platform for the voice of Autism, thus giving the voice power to be heard. I believe the only way that people can understand autism is to teach them to understand more of this complex puzzle as a whole, it is usually only people who have family on the ASD spectrum that find the time to learn about subject. this therefore means we all need to create a better awareness to people in general of the facts, as they are known. Many thanks Steve.. I think the boy means well but he is distinctly inclined to be inattentive...... Tutor of Winston Churchill to Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston's father

Hello DaisyProudfoot and everyone, Personally from experience I can see where he is coming from, sensory overloads affect us all in various ways, my son and myself have days like these, the fact you mention church - for instance our hearing like some people with Asperger Syndrome is very acute indeed, certain sounds (because of the hearing condition hyperacusis) for instance, certain sounds in church depending on the frequency will make the sound unbearable. I think in your son's case this is a positive thing - having AS myself I think you will find this is probably a coping strategy, he knows he has to be there and perhaps it's the only way he can cope with the situation. If you look for signs in similar and new situations in the future be observant and you may see him develop a new coping strategy to cope with the this new situation. As he gets older and becomes aware of different places to go and do he will use these strategies as best he can, both my son and myself do. If it's been something new or something we have attempted to do, once home we more often than not seek quiet time in order to help ease any sensory overload. If you require any information on Hyperacusis please post me. Steve.. I think the boy means well but he is distinctly inclined to be inattentive......

Hello, stressed out mum Glad the article has been of use to you. Personally I feel awarness needs to be promoted much more, and probably more so, by people such as us. Steve..

Hello everyone, Thank you lil_me for your explanation, for a while it bothered me that annie had got me confused with someone else so much so I had to show my partner, who said she saw the funny side of it. Now I just feel silly because i've been caught out yet again, the literal thing occasionally will catch me out (they do get stored in memory though, so it will not happen again) and this was obviously not one of them. Sorry for making such a stupid mistake annie. I've had my tantrum as a result of feeling stupid but am alright now. I was actually hoping no-one would even notice then just looked and 142 have viewed how stupid I am(which i'm not) grrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!. Steve..

I had placed this article on my own site, but I thought I may as well post it here also, a good article which I feel anyone should be able to send to any family members, friends and anyone else for that matter who just do not get it! within the article is some information that might help your next visit to these people likely to be more successful. http://www.tacanow.com/letter.htm post it to them now. Asperger's and autism in general can be a difficult, lonely disorders ? for children and their parents. By nature, these disorders bring difficulties socializing and communicating with your child. It may also mean fewer play dates and birthday invitations and more stares while out shopping from people who don't understand that a child's meltdown is part of a disability, not the result of "bad parenting."

Parents of autistic children need better support to enable them to cope with the condition at home, an autism charity said. While provisions are made for the youngsters at school, many parents are still going without the necessary skills and knowledge to deal with the condition, according to the Scottish Society for Autism. for the rest of this article use the link below. http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=3862006 Steve..
