An Issue Of Priorities... I recently started to "sort" all these references I used for the Autism-Alzheimer's-Schizophrenia comparison, and hope to continue doing so in the future. However, this project expanded into something much greater than I had first anticipated and it has required a great deal of work and time. Everything in life is a matter of priorities. I hope to eventually sort all these better, but, prior to doing that, I have another major project that needs to be done - a third book - on teaching language in the autistic. It is my belief that these children need to be taught language in a very, very specific manner. Given the fact that 50% of children with autism are considered "non-verbal", this project has now jumped to the top in terms of what I consider my "next priority" in helping other families coping with autism... and unfortunately, for those of you interested in "neat references", "sorting" has moved a lot lower on the priority list. But, still, by providing what I do provide, I have still saved those of you in research a GREAT deal of time and I hope that you will remember that in spite of any shortcomings in "presentation". I provide close to 800 references (in pretty good format) under book 3 and there are close to 200 listed for the insulin paper. That should be a good start for anyone interested in looking up references. :o) I've done a great deal of work in doing all this and I certainly hope that everyone will understand my "priorities" schedule. My intent has always been to provide "AUTISM HELP FOR YOU©" and that means help for families of the autistic and as such, I intend to remain true to my cause, because, in helping others understand autism, I come to understand it more also, and that helps me in my most important priority of all - "Saving Zachary"! It is my hope that as I work to "save Zachary", the tools I prepare for my autistic son in order to teach him, will be tools other children can use as well and as such, I will gladly share my work with other families whose lives have so been devastated by this disorder. My focus has - and will always remain - helping other families to understand the issues behind this disorder in order to help as many children as possible in escaping the shackles of autism. |
