I recently received a comment in response to my post about the term Neurotypical with a link to their blog. I add to reprint here as it is a fascinating insight into neurology.

Interesting article from Dr Jon Brock called 'Can MRI scans be used to diagnose autism?': http://crackingtheenigma.blogspot.com.au/2010/08/describing-brain-in-autism-in-five.html

ReplyDeleteHi there Samantha, there are no autism specific pages I am aware of. There's one for families of all kids with special needs, I am not a member, but I can try to find a link for you. There's also an Autism association here and a group called Autism West. To be honest with you I don't have anything to do with these organisations, or parent groups in general because Ive developed a network of support online, and through our service provider here. Will either of your children being doing any early intervention programs here? If you do ABA or would like to, I administer a group on facebook for parents who choose ABA and that has many parents in Perth in it. We occasionally meet up socially too.
