I've been busy writing reports and have fallen a few days behind on updating this site but am up to date and back with some more news and resources for you!
Autism has been in the press like crazy lately. What is humorous about it is that about a week ago there was a rash of articles discussing Autism as being an over-diagnosed disorder and to some degree an "illusory epidemic" and then the week ended with a large release of articles about how Autism is at new epidemic proportions, that it should be declared an epidemic, and that we have reached the highest rate of diagnosis of all time. In reality it is probably some where in the middle. There is certainly people who are over diagnosing this and other disorders as well. But there is also certainly kids who are being termed "behavioural" that are clearly somewhere on the Autistic spectrum. The best way is to make up your own mind:
