		<title>Autism Therapy:  Numbers and Division</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the CDC finally weighed in with their numbers last week.  1 in 110 children in this county with autism.  That&#8217;s actually lower than previously announced (1 in 91), but considering that it&#8217;s the CDC (sorry, had to take a gratuitous swipe).
Now comes the fighting within the autism community.  And quite frankly, it makes me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  Dolphin Therapy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was born in Central Florida.  Every time the show “Flipper” came on, I was glued to my TV set.  I envied Sandy and Bud as they swam with the dolphin Flipper every day (I caught it every weekday afternoon in syndication).  Little did I know back then that I would be blogging about Flipper?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  ABA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So many therapies, so little time.  There are new types of therapies for autism popping up all over the country.  Some seem quite promising.  Some&#8230;I will politely say, it makes me think of the days of leeches and &#8220;magic&#8221; tonics.

These people want our money in exchange for &#8220;curing&#8221; our kids.  They especially prey upon the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  Thanksgiving Anyone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Thanksgiving week.  For most families, it means wonderful things!  Traveling to be with the ones they love the most.  Great food.  Great company.  Lots of people.  Maybe multiple gatherings.  Lots of wonderful memories. Kids out of school.  Then, there&#8217;s our family.  And those families who are affected by autism spectrum disorders.  No matter how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  Preventing Bullying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every day there&#8217;s a new story in the paper, in the news about a child with special needs being bullied on the playground, in the halls of school, etc.  Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve seen it first hand with my own children.  The lack of  social skills makes children with autism a particularly easy target of bullies.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  Book Anyone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m finally going to do it.
I&#8217;ve been talking about doing this for a long time.  Most parents of children with autism can either write a book on autism therapy, autism information, or autism education OR are looking for all of the above.  As a mom who spent most of 2002-03 Googling the words &#8220;autism&#8221;, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy: Respite Therapy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am surrounded by many friends who love their children.  DESPERATELY!  Who would do anything they can to help their child or children with autism.  And they do.  They sacrifice their health, finances, relationships, and marriages to save their child or children with autism.  These parents scour the internet, looking for the latest in autism [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  Social Skills Therapy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Meeting new people is difficult enough for most people.  You make a mental check list:  shake hands, smile, remember their name, make small talk.    But for teens with autism, it is downright disarming.  That&#8217;s why many school districts and psychologists are now offering social skills as a type of autism therapy in their arsenal of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy:  Vitamin D and Autism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve notice lately that Vitamin D seems to be the &#8220;latest&#8221; thing people are buzzing about in the autism community.  Vitamin D as an autism therapy.  Seems reasonable.  Children with autism present with muscular weakness, which is a symptom of Vitamin D deficiency.  Children with autism also have intestinal absorption issues, which makes it difficult [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Therapy: Finding Jobs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The train is on the tracks.  We see the light.  And it is heading our way.  Adulthood.  Now for most parents, that&#8217;s a wonderful thing.  Thoughts of college, marriage and grandchildren come to mind, right?  Well, that&#8217;s on the horizon for our youngest (fingers crossed).  For our oldest son, no matter how much effort we [...]]]></description>
