Hi John, thanks for mentioning the self-advocate/parent dialogues. The complete series (10 posts and 100s of comments) is now up and can be accessed by clicking on http://thinkingautismguide.blogspot.com/search/label/dialogue. I've also written a post indexing the dialogues and responses on other blogs: http://lizditz.typepad.com/i_speak_of_dreams/2011/09/difficult-but-essential-conversations-week-one-roundup.html. We have heard, via email, from many adults with autism. The consensus seems to be that these dialogues are unique and should continue.

Comment on Cog mod for PTSD by redvelvet1897

This was very interesting to me. I would really like to work with children who have emotional/behavioral disorders, and I sometimes forget that PTSD can occur in children, too. And I like the fact that the internalization of symptoms can occur as well as the physical. It is an area of in need of more research, but I think that this study is a good example of the different EBD’s that students can have.

Thank you.

Comment on Cog-mod for adolescent depression by Shannon Rowell

Shannon Rowell — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:58:37 +0000

I am a Survivor! I too used to struggle with depression, anxiety, and cutting when I was a teenager. They are very common issues in today’s adolescence. In fact, I am now a mental health counselor and have written a book entitled, Chains Be Broken: Finding Freedom from Cutting, Anxiety, Depression, Anorexia, and Suicide. It is my personal story directed to teens who are struggling with mental health issues and parents of these teens. I am posting this because I strongly believe in receiving help for these issues and am hoping my story will be able to help others. You can read a clip from my book on my website at http://www.chainsbebroken.com Please share with anyone you think might be able to benefit. Thank you!

It is too bad that Yale’s YouTube channel doesn’t have an easy-to-find channel for the Yale College Autism Seminar.

Thanks John and Margaret for your posts. I struggle daily here in the land of non-categorical Iowa where labels and thereby disabilities and disorders don’t exist, or don’t matter if they do exist. Such policy has led to continual struggles of deficient child find under IDEA and SEction 504, as well as bologna treatments such as CBT for ADHD, visual schedules for PTSD/ADHD/ODD/CD, and sensory integration

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT MAN.

Dear John,

The second part of Deer’s coverage has also been published. I am keeping an index of all the coverage, both the first and second papers.

For readers new to the whole sorry Wakefield saga, I recommend the resources at LeftBrain/RightBrain (indexed at the top of my post) as the best introduction.

Comment on Cog-mod for adolescent depression by Olivia Griffin

Thanks for this post. It can be challenging dealing with troubled teens. A lot of the problems you mentioned should not be taken lightly. Depression is a serious illness that affects adolescents just like it does adults. I’ve found their website to be a useful source of information about treatments for adolescent depression.
