| Description: | The Ask Deb About Autism blog doesn’t try to solve the world’s problems. I’m not a scientist, autism therapist, Rhodes Scholar or the like. I am a mom. A mom who is caught in the world of autism. Autism came into our lives in 2002, officially, although I suspect it had been there for most of our oldest son’s life. We don’t know how it got there. Fact is, it is here and we are coping. It isn’t going anywhere. We do what we feel is best for our son. I hope that you will find some useful information, autism therapy, and some tidbits in the Ask Deb About Autism blog as I continue to write. Part of my coping with our son’s autism is writing. Autism is not a “once size fits all” syndrome, so please feel free to comment and add your own pearls of wisdom as we go. Blessings-in Autism, Deb |

Autism Therapy: Thanksgiving Anyone?
It’s Thanksgiving week. For most families, it means wonderful things! Traveling to be with the ones they love the most. Great food. Great company. Lots of people. Maybe multiple gatherings. Lots of wonderful memories. Kids out of school. Then, there’s our family. And those families who are affected by autism spectrum disorders. No matter how much autism therapy, autism education or autism information you provide your friends and relatives with, it doesn’t seem to help the child with autism. What to do?

Autism Therapy: Preventing Bullying
Every day there’s a new story in the paper, in the news about a child with special needs being bullied on the playground, in the halls of school, etc. Unfortunately, I’ve seen it first hand with my own children. The lack of social skills makes children with autism a particularly easy target of bullies. Kids with autism are usually loners. They

Autism Therapy: Book Anyone?
Well, I’m finally going to do it. I’ve been talking about doing this for a long time. Most parents of children with autism can either write a book on autism therapy, autism information, or autism education OR are looking for all of the above. As a mom who spent most of 2002-03 Googling the words “autism”, “autism spectrum disorder” and “Asperger’s Syn

Autism Therapy: Respite Therapy
I am surrounded by many friends who love their children. DESPERATELY! Who would do anything they can to help their child or children with autism. And they do. They sacrifice their health, finances, relationships, and marriages to save their child or children with autism. These parents scour the internet, looking for the latest in autism therapy, autism education, and autism information. Anything to help their babies. What they need is respite therapy.

Autism Therapy: Social Skills Therapy
Meeting new people is difficult enough for most people. You make a mental check list: shake hands, smile, remember their name, make small talk. But for teens with autism, it is downright disarming. That’s why many school districts and psychologists are now offering socia
