Missing Pieces is a beautiful song sung by Mark Leland. Written by Mark Leland and Tim Calhoun, a father of a boy with autism. This song was put into American Sign Language, performed by Barrie Silberberg. Barrie’s son put this video together. He was diagnosed with autism at age 6 1/2. There are photos of children diagnosed with autism on this video. All of these children have improved drastically, due to the GFCF diet. Barrie’s book The Autism and ADHD Diet: A Step-by-Step Guide to Hope and Healing by Living Gluten Free and Casein Free (GFCF) and Other Interventions, 2008, will be published by Sourcebooks, Inc. and in book stores April 2009 Check out Barrie’s web site at www.puttingyourkidsfirst.com

Dr. Gil Tippy answers a question about why you would not want to control contingencies when working with kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

My first video blog. I really had nothing to say but I wanted you all to get to know me a little better so I just turned on the camera and talked for a few minutes.

I’m wondering on why/how some autistic s are more higher functioning than others(Asperger’s being an obvious example). But why do some Autistics start out life seemingly low-functioning,but get to be more higher functioning as they get older? What I’m trying to ask here is what are some of the characteristics in the pathology of Autism,like how autistic brains are mis-wired and the latest information on how autistic brains work or don’t work properly.

I have it.
Oh, I know what those phrases mean, I use them some of the time. But, I do take comments literal, like I take anything else. My feelings aren’t hurt by that.

So my brother has aspergers and my parents and I believe it might have been passed down from my grandfather who also has aspergers. So I guess it’s genetic. I’m wondering if it’s likely if I have children that one of them will have aspergers? Or might it skip a generation?
