Originally Aired Wed, 09/16/2009 - 11:30am

Rob, Debra and Michael share an entertaining (Michael tries singing God Bless America) program which reviews current articles about the two almond shapes in the brain called the amygdala, how to get stem cells to the brain, how becoming an "autism family" affects social networks and friendships, how problem pregnancies may contribute to the risk of having a child with ASD and finally how a person's physical and emotional context "AFFects" one's visual perceptions.

AutismOne is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization with its primary mission of helping children and families within the autism spectrum and related conditions. AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only. No information on this website nor any AutismOne related event should be construed as medical and/or legal advice or recommendations. We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
