Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 LOL, . Hi! I forgot you were here where I am. that is who my kids go to for ST! We love Kathy! As the kids got older though, the others do not do "groups" any longer in the summer. I don't know if their kids have all been cured or they found something they liked better. It was kind of a nice summer thing for him to keep up his skills. Glad Ethan is doing well! Roxanna Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 No, I don't think you can say that kids/people who are low functioning are less prone to any of the problems that high functioning kids have. It just might come out differently due to communication issues. And it varies as much as it does with the other end of the spectrum. Autism is an equal opportunity disability. lol.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 LOL. must have gotten in the wrong "autism" line Debra! lol. PS: Your group website is really nice! How is it going? Roxanna Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. Re: ( ) Re: argument From what I have seen the anxiety and mood symptoms are fairly equal across all levels of the spectrum. There are some very happy nonagressive high and low functioning kids and there are some very moody, irritable, aggressive, anxious high and low functioning kids as well. I wish my two were the easy flavor!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010  You and me both girl! The group is going well. We raised nearly 50,000 at our recently autism walk. All the money stays in our county. Now, we have the pleasure of trying to figure out how to spend it. Trying to target low income kids of all flavors, people whose higher functioning kids don't qualify for anything, services we don't have here right now, etc. Trying to get the biggest bang for our buck. Running a summer camp for all levels of kids. Received scholarship money through Autism Speaks to send a ton of kids to camp. It is nice to spend my time on this stuff that clearly helps kids, rather than beat my head against the school wall until it is bloody.
