Seriously? How much alcohol do you think is being passed around? Do you have a problem with e-drinkers? I'm sorry. Are you tied to your chair? You are welcome to find somewhere else to hang out.

tbaba1234: All I know about the study is from the report.

Well I hope it is true. These kids are extremely teachable. I have personally seen my students continue to make progress.

My heart will always be with these kids and I will never stop advocating for them. I have students that started with me in kinder and are now in high school. I love every child that comes through my classroom.

maclatunji: Really well, the designer seems to like your piece. He used it to headline the demo, he is an A+ player and we give him leeway with a lot of stuff. I have decided not to show anyone until we are ready to start promoting. I am sure a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised.

I notice that a lot of people do not recognise the true worth of their talent as writers, we hope to change this.

It is going better than planned. By the end of August God-willing at the latest, most of those that sent me anything should have seen the initial result.

Wow. I'm flattered. Thank him for me. May your endeavors continue to make progress.

Allhamdulilah

tbaba1234: It sounds compelling and very interesting.

I agree it does. Does the study say how severely these kids started out. Where did they fall on the spectrum to begin with. Not all kids with autism are severe cases. They can be taught. Some learn more slowly, but I have seen amazing results.

Family › Re: Autism And Life by texanomaly(f): 9:18pm On Aug 13, 2014

tbaba1234: I read an article recently about kids who were able to go past autism, kids who were cured.

This is very controversial and not really proven. The autism scale, or spectrum is wide. It goes from slightly affected to severely disabled. Some individuals learn to effectively "cope" with autism. I'm not sure outgrow or cure are words we can conclusively use at this point.

Family › Re: Autism And Life by texanomaly(f): 9:03pm On Aug 13, 2014

These are a few of the training videos used to help us understand the world of the child with autism.

What would you do if you were one of these individuals?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M20DIK1Yt3A&autoplay=1

http://vimeo.com/m/52193530

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plPNhooUUuc

Researchers have discovered what could be causing this sensory overload.

I learned this in a training seminar. I do not have the source info.

As we grow our brains do something called pruning. Simply put our brains are continually making connections. When we are babies every time we learn something new our brains create a pathway for that particular skill or topic.

As we grow some of those skills are no longer necessary. Our brains prune the pathways we no longer need. It is sort of like cleaning and throwing out things we don't use or need any longer. It keeps the clutter down.

Our brains do the same thing. They prune our unnecessary pathways to make room for new and more current information and connections as needed.

Now imagine your brain doesn't prune (or clean out unnecessary connections) and just continues to make more and more pathways. Till your mind is cluttered with so much stuff that you can't make sense of it all. You are overwhelmed by all the stimulation.

Our mind is engineered to function a certain way. If our brain is not functioning properly it can cause problems that seem insurmountable.

New research sheds more light on how people with autism perceive the world around them.

I've talked about the pruning. Now imagine this as well...the words people say don't match up with what these individuals are hearing.

"The brains of children with autism are 'out of sync' when they look at the world around them, researchers have discover.

They believe the effect is rather like watching a badly dubbed film, as the children struggle to integrate simultaneous information from their eyes and their ears."

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/autism-study-finds-many-kids-have-audio-visual-gap-makes-speech-appear-out-of-sync/

Many individuals with autism do not make eye contact with others. Could this be why? Isn't their world confusing enough already? Now add this.

Children with Autism are usually delayed in learning to speak as well as learning social skills. Most children learn these things by watching and listening to their parents and playing with other children.

Can you see now why this task is much more difficult for children with autism?

There is hope for these children and their families. There are techniques that if implemented consistently with patience and love can help teach and enrich the lives of everyone involved.

Politics › Re: Uyo - City Of Peace And Beauty (Pictures) by texanomaly(f): 9:00pm On Aug 13, 2014*

all4naija: No, you live in the poor urban area with better infrastructure to Uyo's. The population in that city is appalling with less and poor infrastructure to meet their needs.

It doesn't mean the buildings have to be shafts like in most images and the environment rural to claim this development is right. Indeed, you are just one individual who is possibly satisfied with rural nature of that place which I disagree with. No good transport system, no central drainage system, no effective power system, no urban commuters, no modern beautification of the surroundings and the way they access the poor development is annoying to say the least and it is called a city. What more can I say about it?!

I don't think you are making sense at all. Please, don't come here with you baseless point to tell us about liking the development yet making comparison with the west that has urban planning. You're totally wrong!

Don't they have to start somewhere though? Instead of complaining and using bad language, why not be a positive voice and get Nigeria headed in the right direction. Affect positive change.
