Autism disorders might be reversible. | - I Teach Autism.com - - 0 views
-
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have proposed a sweeping new theory of autism that suggests that the brains of people with autism are structurally normal but dysregulated, meaning symptoms of the disorder might be reversible.
-
The central tenet of the theory, published in the March issue of Brain Research Reviews, is that autism is a developmental disorder caused by impaired regulation of the locus coeruleus, a bundle of neurons in the brain stem that processes sensory signals from all areas of the body.
-
The new theory stems from decades of anecdotal observations that some autistic children seem to improve when they have a fever, only to regress when the fever ebbs.

Asperger Syndrome Tied to Low Cortisol Levels - 0 views
-
Low levels of a stress hormone may be responsible for the obsession with routine and dislike for new experiences common in children with a certain type of autism.
-
The body produces cortisol, among other hormones, in stressful situations. Cortisol increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels, among other duties, to signal the body's need to adapt to changes occurring around it.
-
People with Asperger syndrome notably have very repetitive or narrow patterns of thought and behavior, such as being obsessed with either a single object or topic. Though tending to become experts in this limited domain, they have otherwise very limited social skills, according to the study.

Interview with Robert Koegel | Pivotal Response Treatments for Autism Author on ABC's Supernanny | Brookes Publishing - 1 views
-
The NLP became synonymous with motivation and motivation is pivotal in teaching children with autism to respond to multiple questions.
-
1988 was the first time the word pivotal was used to describe this method. It was referred to previously as the NLP. It is considered a behavior intervention with similarities to the Lovaas method/ABA.

Autistic Aphorisms: Intelligence, Genius, and Autism - 0 views
-
Professor James Flynn has incorporated an interesting sidebar into his book What is Intelligence? In it he lists his seven choices for Western civilization’s greatest minds: Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Newton, Gauss, and Einstein.
-
Hundreds of research teams, maybe even thousands by now, have so convinced themselves that intelligence must originate from inside our skulls, have so convinced themselves that only within networks of cranial neurons can be found the secrets to humanity’s growing mental capacity, that all have managed to overlook completely the far more plausible alternative—the one existing right before our very eyes.
-
It is time to reconsider that conventional wisdom, time to regard genius with a different set of eyes; for genius is not a function of greater intelligence, genius is the description of how intelligence grows.

BBC NEWS | Health | Genes 'have key role in autism' - 0 views
-
The changes influence genes which help form and maintain connections between brain cells.
-
The Nature study highlighted one common genetic variant which, if corrected would cut cases of autism by 15%.
-
Previously, other genetic variants have been linked to autism, but they are all relatively rare.

Autistic Aphorisms: The Futility of More and More Studies - 0 views
-
The phrase “further research is needed in this area” has become so hackneyed within autism research articles it deserves its own special symbol (might I suggest an emoticon of an extended palm).
-
The problem in autism research is not lack of data. The problem is lack of vision.

Developmental abnormalities in the mirror neuron system may - 1 views
-
Developmental abnormalities in the mirror neuron system may contribute to social deficits in autism.
-
Now, a new study published in Biological Psychiatry reports that the mirror system in individuals with autism is not actually broken, but simply delayed.
-
While most of us have their strongest mirror activity while they are young, autistic individuals seem to have a weak mirror system in their youth, but their mirror activity increases with age, is normal by about age 30 and unusually high thereafter.
