It begins with abnormal brain growth in the womb causing malformations and lesions, misplaced cell divisions, and more. Autopsies show abnormal ventricles and other abnormalities both gross and minor.<br /><br />Scientists have watched videos of children before they developed schizophrenia in early adulthood and noticed clumsiness, late speech, and checked their records, usually poorer school scores and a gradual reduction in performance IQ in the years leading up to the first episode. Irritability and social withdrawal become pronounced in the years leading up.<br /><br />So why does it not strike until adolescence or young adulthood? The brain doesn't stop growing until mid 20s to early 30s in some cases actually, not 18. What happens is these malformed areas of the brain similar to autism but unlike autism are dormant because they haven't formed connections that allow them to wreak havoc. When an adolescent's brain is forming new connections, at any time by bad luck the bad parts all link up and cause a cascade of destruction. A similar case can be made for regressive autism, or why in some cases two indentical twins can have one normal and one autistic/schizophrenic offspring. <br />Even if the brain develops abnormally in the womb, in some cases or subtypes of autism and schizophrenia, this may be a predisposition only (yet a very very strong one) some rare, very very rare few narrowly avoid forming the wrong connections at the wrong time leading to the cascade that is regression.<br /><br />I heard you used to speak up till 2.5 but lost it then regained it at 5. You had regressive autism? I also did, the few memories I had before I regressed make it even more painful for me now. My parents told me I used to make eye contact and was outgoing, but I lost it, I felt different as a little toddler, I was in my body, alive, part of the world, but it somehow dissappeared....I want that same feeling back.

But this was mostly related to the fact that autism was not well understood in psychiatric settings. <br /><br />Sometimes the diagnosis was made on a simple question, Do you hear voices? To which someone with autism able to speak would answer: yes. And the following question: How many voices do you hear? … Well, it depends, sometimes one other times, several. Hum.. (Lawson- reported in her books and at conferences).<br /><br />I was aware of Volkmar’s work on incidence of schizophrenia in the early 90s that showed that schizophrenia is no more common in ASD than in the general population suggesting there is no genetic overlap. Am J Psychiatry 1991; 148:1705-1707. FR Volkmar and DJ Cohen. And more recently an evolutionary biologist, Bernad Crespi suggested that autism and schizophrenia could be 2 sides of the same coin. They identified 4 regions in the genomes that affect the risk of autims of schizophrenia. These are called Called "copy-number variants", these are stretches of DNA with seemingly accidental duplications or deletions. Crespi's team found that the presence of a particular variant – a duplication, say – was often associated with autism while the opposite variation – a deletion of the genetic material – was linked to schizophrenia.

Although that is not possible, Baroness Ashton of Upholland suggested that the disability commissioner should pay particular attention to those groups.<br /><br />As far as I can see, no Member of the House of Lords mentioned the disability of autism. The DRC has just set up a neurodiversity autistic spectrum advice and action group—a mouthful. It has been set up very late, but is nevertheless welcome. Nobody argued for it to be included in, or at least listened to by, the new commission.<br /><br />People with ASDs are not physically disabled and often do not look as though they have a disability. The condition is a developmental disability characterised by an inability or impairment in communication, socialisation and imagination. There is no cure. Some of those affected have learning disabilities and some have mental health problems, but they often fall into the gap between the two in relation to support services. Given that an estimated 500,000 people have an ASD, it must be treated as a significant and common disability with clear implications for mainstream policy and practice. It is now an exemplar in the disabled children's national service framework. Diagnosis in the young is better than it was, and support for children in pre-school and statutory education is improving.<br /><br />However, we have an awfully long way to go to catch up in terms of the transition stage, supported living, employment, and support for carers.

Think like Monarch Academy or Orion Academy, just paid for by the government. Unlike you (who coincidently grew up before much was known about the higher functioning side of autism) I believe that there is a great deal that can be done to help aspies out if we are just willing to invest in it. Provide them with social skills training and the like, meanwhile encouraging them to give into their passions or preservations or whatever you want to call them. Sadly I think right now much of that money is going to try to find a cure, a cure which might never come, or might be worse then the disease itself (imagine sleeping 18 hours a day like sometimes can happen in cases of schizo-effective or schizophrenia, and yes I have worked with someone with both).<br /><br />But then again, how do you define, "a small minority of people." Many people on the autism spectrum are on the higher end of it, and I have seen great things done to help them out, in particular with the therapies you mentioned. Yea, the disorder sticks around (which means you will never accept it), but if they are functioning, have some friends, can get and keep a job, etc., then isn't that what we are striving for. Though can you find one doctor that says that therapy won't help those that are on the higher end of the scale?<br /><br />The only real way we are going to be able to get your cure in a halfway decent way is through gene munipulation, or abortion... and who knows how much damage we could do there. How many billions of dollars have went into a cure for cancer, a cure for AIDS, hell a cure for the common cold. What has that gotten us, a bunch of stopgaps but nothing like what you want. Then there is the fact that those are nothing like autism, none of those effect the brain.

We instead spend on the money on ND causes like campaigns on getting rid of things like the ransom notes or other things that people just find offensive or on group homes or on housing for persons with autism or whatever it is that ND feels the money should be spent on? There is nothing that convinces me that anything ND spends the money on will be money well spent. So, I would like to take a chance and try to find a way to help people scientifically or a cure if possible. <br /><br />There is no evidence that suggests to me the way you want to spend the money would do anything to benefit anyone, such as special education spending being such a failure and money on ABA programs being a failure and no evidence of speech therapy, occupational therapy, augmentive communications devices etc. helping anyone but maybe a small minority of people? <br /><br />Therefore, I feel it is worth the gamble of doing scientific research so that some day persons won't have to suffer from this affliction or at least future generations won't.jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-13541566489735963632010-03-02T20:23:56.131-08:002010-03-02T20:23:56.131-08:00Can I just ask, what happens if we spend the next ...Can I just ask, what happens if we spend the next 20 years spending most of our money searching for this cure rather then spending it trying to help people who already have it, and then never get a cure. What happens then? You seem to think we will easily be able to find a cure if we just look... what if that doesn't happen? What if ND is right and it is just a genetic anomoly and can't be "fixed"? What if you are right and it is a disease but goes the route of so many others and takes forever to "fix" (still waiting for that cure to cancer) or the cure is worse then the disease (ala schizophrenia can many times be). You entire arguement is dependant on it being a quick, easy, and workable fix, what if thats not the case?Enderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936753464525224578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-10370820836897063392010-03-02T19:04:40.001-08:002010-03-02T19:04:40.001-08:00Hi Oliver, I just sent you an email suggesting how...Hi Oliver, I just sent you an email suggesting how you might go about solving this.jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-71550043250220547682010-03-02T16:59:09.189-08:002010-03-02T16:59:09.189-08:00First of all, it is a false claim to say Autism is...First of all, it is a false claim to say Autism is not a medical condition. <br /><br />But, I also don't interpret the Neurodiversity movement as arguing against the existence of disabilities and deficits within the classification. I think that is a misleading spin you are putting on it.<br /><br />There are some drawbacks to Ari representing the Voice of all of us on the Autism spectrum, but in his official position, if he doesnt represent all of us accurately, he and his agency can be sued - who knows who will sue them for derelict (breach) of duty, but surely, if all you say is true, then someone will. <br /><br />That will in turn lead to reform. <br /><br />Regarding your other issue - who pays for all the lower functioning disabled people in every category ? That's a very good Question, since human rights treaties the U.S. signed requires SOME government entity in this Country to do so, and lately, many states have rejected the idea the one paying will be them.<br /><br />You are correct to point out that some are sufficiently low functioning they have to be completely paid for and taken care of. I am not disagreeing, since unfortunately you are right in that regard. <br /><br />However, I see a very failed governmental model that could be enormously improved - for example, instead of sending Autistics out to get jobs under the existing Neurotypical structure, our government should be seeding Autistics even lower functioning with enormous amounts of SBA lending and small business help related to using Internet and computers to facilitate many more Autistics to be earning the kind of incomes that would enable us to pay for our own health insurance and care. <br /><br />It can be done, but we have to change the way government looks at how to structure a more Autism-friendly and accessible World.<br /><br />I'm not saying this would eliminate the "Who pays for the lowest functioning" issue, but it would reduce the impact on both Autistics and our state and National economies.<br /><br />I know there are many things I can do thru an Internet computer to work than in a brick and mortar Neurotypical structured World.<br /><br />Also, I just don't agree with your interpretation of the meaning of Neurodiversity. I am not sure I agree entirely with Ari's either, and yes, it is also a concern for me that Ari has held or tried to hold so few *real* jobs. <br /><br />Perhaps, if he did, he would discover he might have the sme problems as so many of the rest of us.<br /><br />~EquiisEquiisSavanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217584981972939792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-25822081341468648752010-03-02T16:33:25.925-08:002010-03-02T16:33:25.925-08:00Hey Jonathan, I'm having some trouble getting ...Hey Jonathan, I'm having some trouble getting the comment section to appear on my new blog.
