News Posted by lightfoot on Sunday, March 16, 2008 (17:59:32)

Posted by : Julie in Parenting Children with Special Needs Blog

Autism may be one of the hottest disability topics for this year’s presidential candidates. All the major candidates have addressed it in some way, which isn’t surprising, given the rapid rise in autism (1 in 150) and all those children with autism have parents and grandparents who are presumably voters.

A site called AutismFACTS has compiled information on the presidential candidates’ stance on autism and the government’s involvement. The information on this website is a bit dated, since most of the original candidates are still posted there. But for the big three, AutismFACTS gives both Clinton and Obama a “C” and McCain a “C-“. They give Ron Paul a “B”.

Important Issues Posted by lightfoot on Wednesday, March 12, 2008 (08:12:26)

By Melissa Hincha-Ownby

Many individuals equate an autism spectrum disorder with mental retardation
This widely-held thought is actually a misconception and is based on outdated studies.

A common misconception that is made by the general public is that autism equates to mental retardation (MR). Mental retardation is a term used to describe individuals that fall within a certain range on a standardized intelligence quotient test. The phrase mental retardation immediately drums up negative connotations; some states have recognized this and switched to the use of cognitively disabled in its place.
