Article 1. Assessment, Excerpt from Aspergers..What Does it Mean to Me?- By Catherine Faherty

An overall assessment of your child's skills and pattern of learning is necessary. Formal and informal assessment will reveal his unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses, talents, and interests. No single numerical score (and no single test) can accurately describe your child's development. Children with autism have "peaks and valleys" in their development.

Article 2. Mother Finds Mission As Autism Advocate. .To Carry The Olympic Torch- By Glenn Miller

Heather Harris received the news about her son's autism when James
Patrick was 2 1/2. "They said he'd probably be mentally retarded and there was not a good chance of him speaking and not to expect a lot," Harris said. "I completely refused to acknowledge that as true. I went around the area and found a lot of people in the area who had done a lot with autism
already. And so I found people who had been there and pooled all the information."

1. Poem- Could You Sing A Song For Them? - By Doris Washington

They exist, and you pretend they are not-"here."
They too have families who love them- and hold them - "dear."
"Could You Sing A Song For Them?"
It may seem as though they may not hear, and they may walk away.
If you could take the time to know about them, you may see they have something
to say.
"Could You Sing A Song For Them?"
They may become overanxious at times for no apparent reason.
They have a difficult time understanding change in routine.
"Could You Sing A Song For Them?"
And they may not be able to communicate like you and me.
They may not tend to one task too long. For this is their- Disability.
"Could You Sing A Song For Them?"
Their Disability is- Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder.-
And there are other terms- too.
Could you give them a- "chance?" For they live -"here"- just like me and you.
Could You Sing A Song For Them?
