Autism and Heavy Metals

This interview between Donna Williams and Dr. Ed Danczak is a 'must read' for parents of children on the Spectrum, and who are interested in or wondering about heavy metals, biomedical treatments, invasive procedures and so on - all considered in the 'light' of 'treating' Autism.
The link for this interview will take you to Donna Williams blog, where she has posted this delightful, interesting and informative interview.
Dr. Danczak is a very interesting man, who, though now retired, considers his patients and their needs in a holistic fashion - something both Donna and I believe in.

Aspergers

Rudy Simone, "The Asperger Detective", has a wonderful site called help4aspergers
Here you will find a bounty of information on Aspergers from an intelligent and delightful woman, who is herself living with Aspergers.
If you have a daughter or son with Aspergers, and they (or you) need some inspiration from someone who is enjoying an accomplished life whilst also being on the Spectrum, please have a look at her website.

Savants and Autism

A colleague and friend of mine, Donna Williams, an internationally acclaimed Autism Consultant and Author (amongst many other talents she has) has a delightful essay/description of the "Savant Syndrome" on her website.

Donna has many wonderful articles on her website pertaining to Autism and tips for parents regarding low cost (if not free!) ideas for parents to try when living with and teaching their Autistic children on a day-to-day basis.

As I have always said, you don't need to empty the bank account or mortgage your house to the hilt to help your Autistic children and yourselves live a quality and happy life.

"Hope for Autism and Aspergers Syndrome - My Story"

Is a trully inspirational YouTube video by an Autistic teenage girl named Taylor. In the video she discusses her perspective and experiences of living with Autism, having been diagnosed as being on the Spectrum at a very young age.
This video is a must-see for any parent, friend, relative and anyone who is on the Spectrum, who is seeking some inspiration and/or insight into one persons' account of living with Autism.
Taylor is an articulate, warm and very intelligent young women with a wonderful message for us all.
