cmwoodward Report post Posted June 20, 2014 Very sad loss. I met her once when she spoke at a meeting, probably around the year 2000, and remember her from a BBC documentary on Asperger's in 1995, the year I became diagnosed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sally44 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 Yes, through the NAS I went to the "Help" seminars that helped enormously in trying to get a grip on what autism was and where my son seemed to dip in and out of the 'spectrum'. Another person who had a profound affect on me was Olga Bogdashina. She talks alot about the sensory perceptual and processing of those on the spectrum. And it became very clear to me that alot of my son's "autistic" behaviour was due to sensory perception and processing. We just need to be thankful of those people that dedicate their lives to researching and passing on their knowledge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
