As students on the Autism Spectrum are easily distracted, it is important to orient a music therapy room to reduce distraction. Architects and music therapists should be fully aware of the student environment when designing for any new music therapy room. Ceiling fans are great for air movement. The floor surface should be carpet or rubber flooring for sound absorption and have no level change or platform. A hard surface area should be provided for dancing to music as it is easier for a student to move on this type of surface.

PUSH MODELS!!!!

I’ve always had a certain fascination with cooking. I learned to cook at an early age and worked as a cook at a number of restaurants to earn money when going to college. I even toyed with the idea of attending the Culinary Institute of America.

Growing up I loved heading off into the woods with a book, sleeping bag, Coleman lantern and a mess kit. The highlight of the day would be building a campfire and preparing dinner. With luck it would be fish, potatoes and berries.

I am not sure where to start. This weekend we witnessed both God & The Devil at work. Triumph & Tragedy were both on the agenda. It seems to me that all highs seem to have equal & horrific lows. Some call it balance of nature. Others call it the perpetual fight between the Devil & God. Either way lets start with the good.

Hi. I am the mother of a soon to be 19 year old ASD adult who came home for the weekend from his residential school. By day two, he had picked up and played his father's very good and expensive guitar, and then, when caught, he scrambled up to his room and proceeded to climb out his second floor bedroom window. His 11 year old sister caught him hanging out the sill. Why would he do this? Because he knew he never should have touched the guitar, and he knew he had made a poor choice so he decided he would run.

This is an excellent opportunity to hear Dr. Neubrander speak in person. I think he is absolutely brilliant and have seen many patients improve with the use of Methyl B-12.

Searching for a document today I ran across a piece Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote in 2004 and was struck by its relevance today. Enjoy.

By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The greatest conflict in our home was our ASD son's invasion of personal and physical spaces of his siblings and parents. He either invaded the personal space surrounding his siblings or he violated their rooms to take things that did not belong to him. He clearly knew he should not do this because when he hid them in his room, he hid them incredibly well. Thus, I learned how to become a master sleuth.

• The more frequently a father visited the hospital of an infant who is prematurely born, the more rapidly the infant gained weight and the more quickly the infant was able to leave the hospital.
• More important, the more the father visited, the better was the infant's social-personal development and its ability to adapt.
• In a study of black infants, the more interaction the boy had with the father, the higher his mental competence and psychomotor functioning by the age of six months.
