Autism Pioneer Dr. John Wilson offers free interview
Autism pioneer Dr. John Wilson offers free interview on Access to Health Experts to the public on August 9, 2006, hosted by Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN. Written and audio transcripts are available after the event from: http://www.accesstohealthexperts.com. Dr. Wilson believes children who develop autism are not "hard-wired" for this disease. Rather, genetically susceptible children may develop autism as a response to exposure to environmental influences, i.e. certain types of chemicals in food or the environment, or lack of specific nutrients. The following have been shown to play a significant role in connection to autism:
•Mercury or Thimerosal- a mercury preservative in childhood vaccinations, combined with a genetic inability to excrete this toxic metal.
•Food allergies- primarily of glutein and casein. Glutein is found in most baked goods containing wheat, oats, rye and barley. Casein is the principal protein in milk.
•Severe physical sensitivities and allergies to inhalants, and environmental chemicals.
•About half of all autistic children have an inheritable metabolic impairment in their body's utilization of vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid. child-autism-parent-cafe.com

Financial Problems For School Districts Serving Disabled Students
Every year school districts are confronted with a longer list of
students requiring an expensive special needs education.
Department of Education data shows the number of special
education students as a percentage of total enrollment has increased statewide every year since 2003. The numbers have clearly risen in years before that, but in 2003 the state began gathering enrollment numbers earlier in the school year -- on Oct. 1 instead of Dec. 1. child-autism-parent-cafe.com

New Study Shows Difference in Male Autistic Brains
According to a new study, researchers at the U of California in San Diego and the Mind Institute at UC Davis, men and boys with autism have fewer neurons in the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in memory and emotion. Previous brain-imaging studies have shown that in boys with autism, the amygdala develops early and stops growing around age eight. In typical boys, the amygdala continues to grow until age 18. In the new study, the brains from nine people with autism and the brains from ten typical people were compared. child-autism-parent-cafe.com
