Research Autistic Mannerisms Reduced By Sensory Treatment
by Temple University.

Parents of children with autism are increasingly turning to sensory integration treatment to help their children deal with the disorder, and they're seeing good results. In 2007, 71 percent of parents who pursued alternatives to traditional treatment used sensory integration methods, and 91 percent found these methods helpful.

A new study from Temple University researchers, presented this month at the American Occupational Therapy Association's 2008 conference, found that children with autistic spectrum disorders who underwent sensory integration therapy exhibited fewer autistic mannerisms compared to children who received standard treatments. Such mannerisms, including repetitive hand movements or actions, making noises, jumping or having highly restricted interests, often interfere with paying attention and learning.

Invaluable Solutions Autism scheme success
A ground-breaking scheme to help borough autism sufferers cope with difficult situations has proved a big success.

The scheme - a partnership between West Midlands Police and the charity autism.west midlands - involves people with autism carrying a pocket-sized attention card to alert people of their disorder.

People affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can carry the credit card sized piece of plastic with them at all times and present it to someone if a difficult situation presents itself.
