What in the World is Going On – February 2014 Edition
This month’s blog post includes: new report from the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary addresses the costs for caring for an adult with autism. Although individuals with ASD tend to have a good memory for details, most will struggle to remember the details of events in their own lives. Getting involved with animals and plant life seems to have a positive effect for those on the spectrum. Feeding issues can present significant challenges for those on the spectrum. Challenges can range from a limited diet, overeating or not eating, oral motor difficulties, sensory issues around food such as texture, and digestive issues. Hand flapping has been a puzzling behaviour for neurotypicals to understand. Autism can cause an associate catatonia in teens. Excellent new book published about mental health issues and autism.
