| Comments: | Hey, you have a very informative blog! I really do admire the time you put into it. My 20 year old cousin, Matthew, was diagnosed with autism 17 years ago, back when autism affected just 1 in every 3,500 children. We had very few resources or other families to turn to, and we had to learn the ropes on our own.
Now that autism has reached the prevalence that it has reached today, my close family friend, Greg, and I decided to create an online tool that would provide families with the resources and support that my family wished for when Matthew was diagnosed. What we created was www.TheAUTSPOT.com autism online community, which is a social network that links nearly 20,000 families across the world today. TheAUTSPOT.com allows families to do everything from share stories, find resources, learn about therapies, and even plot out the progress of their child’s developmental skills as they mature in age. Within the past year and a half since it has launched, TheAUTSPOT.com has become a great help to many families dealing with autism. TheAUTSPOT.com has a global resources section with over 15,000 resources (schools, therapists, support groups, special needs lawyers, summer camps, etc.), and it allows our site users to find and post autism resources in their neighborhoods. I have already gone ahead added a link to your blog on the resources section of our website. If you would like to see your listing, just become a free member of the site, go to the resources section, and search, "Ariel's Blog" or "Ariel's Autism Blog". Well, I hope we can link together...look forward to your response...thanks! |

| Comments: | Hi Ariel,
You have the same name as me. I think you and I have some things in common. I have Asperger's disorder, which is also an autism spectrum disorder. But I don't see any diagnosis as a so called "disorder". I've been learning that I can do anything that others do. I would like to suggest if you haven't already, look up Anat Baniel. Her method of work has helped me move freely, and with more awareness. I hope you find my advice useful. Sincerely, Ariel Toren-Herrinton |

| Comments: | I've enjoyed reviewing your site and think you have a lot of great info and encouragement here. I write for a blog called dimmi. It's a blog all about sharing stories and advocating for diseases. While in college studying child psychology, I worked for a few years with an autistic child and hold this cause close to my heart. Autism is also one of the causes that our readers are often seeking support for. There are so many parents out there dealing with a new diagnosis for their child that are looking for help and information. I was wondering if you would be willing to write a paragraph or 2 about Ariel's diagnosis and how your family dealt with it. I would include a link to this page too. If you think you might want to participate in offering support and inspiration to other parents, please e-mail me. Thanks for this great site! |

| Comments: | It was very nice to "meet" Ariel and read of his progress. I am a mom of 3 and work occasionally with children (ABA teaching or learning activities) who have been diagnosed with Autism or are on the spectrum, so to speak. My best friend's 9-year old son also has many of the signs of Autism and PDD, along with a host of developmental and physical issues, and I worked with him when he was 6-7 but he's been my buddy all his life. I try to keep current with all of the research and progress these fantastic kids do make, and it was a pleasure to visit your page. Thank you for sharing.
Ariel, you are one great kid!! Keep smiling! Tory |

He was doing great up until his 3-5 set of shots and then we saw a change in our Tyler. It was very hard to wrap our minds around it but we have come togather as a family and we are stronger then ever before. Tyler is in Grade one and he loves music and computer time. He likes alot of different tv shows but he would rather been on the computer or listening or playing music. Tyler dislikes are haircuts, teethbrushing, loud noise, and not getting his computer time. Tyler's big brother Bailey is his best friend and is teaching him to play Bailey's Wii and he loves playing againist Bailey. Tyler's most loved time spent is with his family all togather.

| Comments: | Thank you, thank you, thank you!! What a great sight. We just got our definitive assessment from our school district's Developmental Assessment Team. We are also going to a neurologist at Children's Hospital here in Houston, TX. ( To get a corroborating diagnosis.) Long story short, Myles is a wonderful 10 year old boy with three siblings and two parents in the home. We had received a diagnosis of PDD very early in his development, or lack there of. What we did not know, nor were we ever told that, PDD was/is on the Autism spectrum! While he has received services, I can only wonder how much farther he would be had we known then, seven years ago that our son was in fact Autistic. I applaud you for going that extra mile and helping other families! I will send people to your site should they have questions that I cannot answer. God Bless and keep up the informative and vital work you are doing.

| Comments: | Hi
Great website. I have a 12 year old son that has AS. The most important thing for these children is early intervention. When my son was 2 1/2, he was not developing language skills. We were told it was either Mental Retardation or Autism. Luckily, he was right away put into a special education class. We were not told that it was AS until my son was 10 years old. I was also in denial. I cannot imagine where my son would be today without the Speech Therapy, Occuptational Therapy, and Special Ed. We are considering going to the Autism Treatment Center in Sheffield, Massachusetts. If anyone knows anything about this, any information would be appreciated. |

Most of it frustration as we sensed something was wrong but drs just said he was slow. Makes me feel better to be able to tell my brother..others have had the same problem. Thank God for health people who dig deep as was in our case. God bless you and yours. |

| Comments: | Hi,
I just wanted to tell you that I loved your web page. Ariel you are a very handsome little boy. I am praying for you. Tell mommy she did a good job on your web page. I was searching for inforation on Autism. I have very beautiful little twin grandsons that show all the signs of having Autism, but there mom and dad refuses to let them be tested. They are 29 months old. Neither one talk(they say NOTHING).One of them started talking at about 1 year old but he lost it after about 6 months. They are in Early Intervention for which I am thankful for. Ariel you and mommy please pray for us and especially Matt and Will. In Christ, Brenda |

I just read your story. How old was your son when he was diagnosed. My son Conor was first diagnosed with PDD at age 2 1/2. He was later diagnosed with Autism at age 5.

He is very borderline, but in order to get services at 3, he needs to be diagnosed. We'll see what happens. It's been a tough road and I know we have a long way to go, but your website gives me a lot of encouragement. Thanks.

I work with DD/MR students in a Lifeskills program for the last 9 years, and I'm always learning something new from the students that I work with. Last summer, I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful bunch of Autistic youngsters who touched me in so many ways. My daughter works closely with a 9 y/o autistic boy and is so connected with him. She plans on becoming an OT having shadowed the ABA's , speech and occupational therapists. They are an amazing group of youngster who I find extremely engaging and wonderful. Keep up the great work with Ariel!!!!! :)

| Comments: | Hi,
Your site is very nice. I enjoyed it. There's a book I would recommend for anyone with autism, ADD, depression, schizophrenia, and CFS. It's called the Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell-McBride. Only available in the UK, so you'd have to go to www.amazon.comuk She talks about how balancing the flora in the gut and avoiding processed foods has helped thousands of people. She has an 11 y/o autistic child that wrote a poem at the beginning of her book. It's so articulate that it sounds like an adult wrote it. I was impressed. She also advocates ABA education. I loved the book and it changed my life. Now I'm reading another book she recommends called Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall. She writes about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and how to immplement it with tons of recipes. Take care. |

You have a wonderful site! I have a wee angel that has been diagnosed as having mild autism. I've been working night and day for the last year to help him improve on his speech. As a licensed social worker, I have worked with a handful of families that had one or more children that had autism on top of other serious developmental delays. I also have two nephews that have Aspergers Syndrome, another added to the category under the autism umbrella. Thank you for being so open about the way autism has affected the life of your beautiful boy and family. These are our most precious of gifts, our children with these special needs. They are true angels, yours and mine. Brightest blessings... Gentle Angel |

| Comments: | Hello, I am reading this wonderful informative website that you have created. I am a single mother of 18 month old twin girls. They both are not yet speaking and one is just trying to walk while holding her hand. Both of my girls are involved with Early Intervention several times a week. I have brought them to different specialists but not one has pin pointed the reason for their delays. If you or anyone reading this have suggestions for me or the names of doctors, they are welcomed. I will place this website on my favorites because it will take time for me to read everything. It is commendable what you have both done.

To finally have a name and know that there IS actually a reason for his struggles is half the battle. He is a brilliant boy but just needs adjustments to routines and he's been perscribed some medication. Already the difference is amazing, he even thinks so himself.

This is a very lovely site your mother created for you :) I found it through the autism webring. I have just recently been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome - at the age of 39, and after wondering all my life what could be wrong with me. Despite my high giftedness I have great difficulty doing everyday things (especially with regard to communication with other people) which "normal" and even many mentally challenged people have no problems doing. Well, now I know why ;) Greetings from Germany! Barbara |

| Comments: | Hello Ariel,
My son (whom i gave up for open adoption) was 2 before they found out what was wrong. He is doing so much better. I was so mad when it first happened because I felt like it would take longer for him to know who i really was. But i still get to see him and the first time he said my name i cried. Him just saying my name is worth all the pain of him not knowing who i am. I want him to understand autism before he knows he's adopted. I'll keep your website. Also what are my chances of having a child with autism? And i'm not with the father so does that mean anything that my next one will not have it? i'm just full of questions but don't know who to ask.

You think it's a little bit of therapy - once it's over with, but in general, 8 years, is ALOT of therapy, but once it's over with, it seems like a very little portion of my life.. but, it made a big difference! =D |

| Comments: | Ariel and Family,
We have 2 boys who were diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and Centeral Auditory Processing Disorder almost 3 years ago. Shortly after their testing was complete we started our whole family on a food supplement that has greatly changed our lives. Our youngest son, Caleb, no longer shows up on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale as autistic. He had been totally out of contol. He had severe anxiety to the point that he would not even go to the bathroom on his own or stand with the rest of the children at church to sing to the congregation. He also lied without a thought and continually destroyed his siblings things and would hand them back with a grin on his face. Caleb also chewed on the neckband of his shirts and had little to no eye contact. Just to mention a few things. We haven't had Michael rated as of yet but assume there will be a similar result. He was fixated on drawing and machanics. He did not have friends his own age and didn't care . Michael was often unaware of the many dagers around him and spent most of the day in his own world. He also suffered with low muscle tone. Both boys would throw temper tantrums at the drop of a hat as well as fits of anger that became more frightening the older they got.We are excited to see such a neat web page where parents and friends can search for much needed answers. With Love, Alison and Jason |

| Comments: | Thank you for the wonderful book, my son Dylan was diagnoised last year with autism, but I knew for awhile something was wrong. he also goes to a wonderful school and gets speech,ot and pt. He has been going to this school since the age of 2and half and he is now 4. I never thought I would of been doing this because I said I would never put him in daycare but then seeing all the problems he was having and how much he has improved in the last year is well worth it. Even though my husband thinks there is nothing wrong with him and getting him up in the morning at 6:00 a.m. he has let him sleep in. He just got some new shoes to help with his feet they said his feet displays pronation with collapsed navicular bones and slight heel cord valgus bilaterally. He also at the age of 4 months was diagnoised with torticollicus and was started with PT and around 8 months we also notice the flatting ont he back of his head like your son was given the same diagnosis and treatment, but ours didn't last long, it was good to read about somebody else with about the same problem my son has. I hope we can keep in touch.
Take care and give Ariel a big Hug Lora Taylor-Dylan's mom |
