Autism Research Institute on Adams Avenue carries on work of Bernard Rimland
Thank you to Joe Deegan and the Reader for the article ("Autism at the eye of the storm"september 10,)My son has autism.He will be 19 years old next month.At 15 months he started losing speech and was developing behavioral problems.There was not much information available then.Dr Rimland was available to answer my questions that no one else could.The one thing he told me and i now tell other parents is "dont give up, and dont let anyone tell you your child is incapable of doing somthing.My son did not talk again until he was ten.The behaviors stopped!He was able to express his needs,he was no longer crying and frustrated.He continues to improve all the time.My son and others like him are extremely intelligent.He can tell you the date and facts on any disney movie ever made.Has a photographic memory,yet cant hold a simple conversation. Micheal Savage is an idiot!He knows nothing about autism,or have any idea what it is .I would have love someone to tell me my child just a was a brat!At least i could have done somthing to fix that.Parents of these children have enough to deal with.Is there any way we can duct tape this mans mouth shut? Lets see just how he acts when cant talk!!!! Kristin Molina (Ricky Gilberts Mom)— September 13, 2008 10:37 a.m.
