- Autism Spectrum Disorders - Can Vitamins And Supplements Really Help?
By: Tony Edwards | - Medical technology shows that autistic children are born without a "block" between the left and right sides of their brain. This means autistic children are born with "Whole Brain Thinking" and are capable of processing enormous amounts of information as seen by Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of an autistic adult in "Rain Man." Autistic children are often easily distracted, unable to focus or concentrate. Many autistic children are sensitive to loud sounds, crowd noise, bright lights and touch.

By: Alan Yau | - There is no one way to teach reading to children with ASD. Learning styles vary between children so a range of strategies should be tried.
