Thank you for visiting. We are all extremely busy. I hope this saves you some time by letting you preview videos found on the web from Vimeo, YouTube, and other locations about autism. Our robots will seek out videos and can soon find articles for you. We know what it’s like to be buried with work and in need of resources to get your balance and find direction. We also know that there may be a lot of inaccurate information captured by our bots. So review everything while grounded in common sense. The “experts” are unable to stop the increase in autism. Many solutions seems to come through parents. Breakthroughs seem to come from “outside the box” for many. If you want keywords added with meaning related to autism, let us know. We’ll add such if it makes sense.
This site is designed with 3 assumptions:
1. those with autism are not necessarily lost forever to the world of communication and productivity;
2. we don’t know what we don’t know, and our answers and insights may very well come from “nonexperts”;
3. we can fill in gaps, identify research most likely to make a difference, and be more focused by working together.
This site attempts to be a resource the autism community. It does not buy into the barriers that exist between academics and practitioners, the politically correct and incorrect. Please let me know if a forum would be helpful, or perhaps crowdfunding for especially cool research that politically correct funders don’t like but parents do like.
Sorry for the rough appearance here. We are not doctors, make no guarantees, and cannot support any claims or treatments. This page is provided for parents, family members, medical practitioners and researchers by James W. Smyth, a parent who began to communicate with his 19 year old son at age 16 1/2. When that happened, a son who was unavailable became alive as a communicator. I discovered a rich, intelligent being had always been there, loving me and desperate to communicate. Thanks for visiting! You use this with full responsibility for your own results. 🙂
Thanks,
Jim
Our story- John was born May 11, 1994. Until December 10, 2010, there had been no communication and educational and medical experts had long declared John to have the mind of a 3 year old. Since then, despite no formal schooling outside of life skills, John has tested out of Algebra and English 10 and is on track for a core 40 high school diploma. John explained that, as happy as he was to come into the world of communication, it is critical to go back and bring the many thousands of isolated nonverbal others into the world of communication. He assured that “autism does not make you stupid,” and his friends who are only afflicted with autism are, in fact, quite bright. John is also now able to participate in his own healing.
