The differences are greatest in girls, in children aged 8 to 10 years, and in those with a low intelligence quotient (IQ) 1 . During typical development, the brain’s outer layer, called the cerebral cortex, thickens until about age 2 and then grows gradually thinner into adolescence as the brain matures. The new study, one of the largest to investigate cortical thickness in autism, aligns with others that indicate this trajectory differs in people with the condition.

Malls are also getting more and more crowded with holiday shoppers, and the hustle and bustle may be too hectic for some kids.  Because loud sounds and bright lights can be overwhelming for  children with autism , who often have sensory disabilities, two organizations have teamed up to create a more soothing environment for visiting Santa. The nonprofit Autism Speaks, along with  Cherry Hill Programs , are holding "Santa Cares" days in malls across the country. Malls will open early for these events, so it will be less busy and overwhelming. The lights will be dimmed and the music will be lowered, allowing children to visit Santa in a calmer setting, according to a statement from Cherry Hill Programs.  St. Nick himself will also adjust for "Santa Cares" events, with training in how to interact ...

ARTICLE ON TYLER'S BOOK "POPULATION ONE" This video is a speaking engagement where Tyler spoke to a group about having autism.  Link: https://youtu.be/e_jCXmBqf2w Very good speaker. Insightful with a sense of humor, he helps us all understand what it is like to live dealing with having autism.  I hope he does very well.

Link: https://youtu.be/W8JV9iIMbao I'm sure we can all relate to how this man is feeling in this interview. Will they be all right? Will they be able to handle every day situations on their own?  He must be proud that his son graduated from college. So very proud! There are more of us out there handling these things then you might realize.    Statistics say: 1 in every 150 children and 1 in every 83 boys has autism. We can be a support group for one another, if only to listen. Take it all one day at a time. It's going to be alright. Please comment below. AUTISM-PRODUCTS.COM

Link to video: https://youtu.be/qGW4a96GqGc There is a great debate on this issue of whether or not the vaccines are causing autism or if they are not.  What do you think? I did try the Gluten Free/Casein Free diet for a few months with Tyler and it didn't make any difference. He really missed a good pizza and when we took him off the diet he was thrilled! I am happy for Jenny that she found a way to cure her son but I don't see this working for every case. Tell me your thoughts. ~Alice
