I am currently at the Sunnyvale
Border's. It is way too small
for a Border's. I have found
a limited and sometimes
disturbing selection of books
on Autism. The book that
I didn't refer to Completely
advocated meds as a solution.
Hmmmmmm 
right!! !! !! Uh! Uh! Grrrrr

a example).
• Obsess on negative topics(news story
used as a example for this).

Why?

2)...Hmmm? "Meltdowns"

I am still skimming their LIMITED SELECTION!
so I will gradually update this up until 9pm?
I do hope you can offer some feedback about
your least and more favorite books on the
topic on Autism and Asperger's and Higher
Form of Autism!

A beginning quote:
"parents of children with autistic spectrum
disorders [autism and pervasive developmental
disorders] do not in general, have a high
opinion of professionals. "
&
"Parents rapidly recognise whether a professional
worker really knows anything about autism-and
they tend to find most do not"
This is the introduction 1st paragraph.
Hmmmm? do you folks agree with this?
Hmmmm?
About the Author: Bryna Siegel, PH,D

As I am writing this in the cramped
cafe at this teeny Borders 2 girls
NT's are chatting as if this is a classroom
and I find the radio(really low, and there
chat is like a stereo system, and to further
this they have just returned....Please forgive
the sloppiness of this document, it is due
to girllish(NT) gossip and chatter interferance
distracting me [/quote]
[quote="Chapter #1, Definitions of.....
Beginning Paragraph:
"Autism is a developmental disorder that
affects many aspects of how a child sees
the world and learns from his or her
experiences. Children with autism
lack the usual desire for social contact.
The attention and approval of others
are not important to them in the usual
way. Autism is not an absolute lack of
desire for affiliation, but a relative one."[/quote]
Sorry I cannot finish this in this cramped
space. A child is just now crying, the girls
are chatting and the audio is too obvious.
I AM TOO DISTRACTED TO EVEN f*****g
GIVE YOU A CLEAN REVIEW!
