Also, if you type in autism and seizures, you will find an example of the 30% of autistics diagnosed with epilepsy. I never knew autism could be so severe and stressful on families. Clearly, government and churches need to do more for these families!

"children with autism," though longer and less flowing, is generally preferred by the psychological community. 2. resnick's site lists his focus group as a small group (less than ten students) of mid- to high-functioning children on the spectrum, all aged 6-8. i would love to see a study done with a more representative sample, especially with children with autism, who are generally put in therapy long before the age of six. this looks promising, if not as an end all, be all product, but as an effective tool in the classroom. two things:
