EcoCAR's subtitle ("The NeXt Challenge") says it all- this is the spiritual successor to "Challenge X," a similarly-themed ATVC contest that, last year, ended with Mississippi State University taking home the gold. In speaking with personnel from the DOE, The Mathworks, and GM (all event sponsors), I concluded that the biggest obstacle to ATV's greater viability is a lack of young, qualified engineers.

Ijust bought the new LG Spectrum. Cananyone tell me how to delete emails on the phone without deleting them on my computer?
Are you talking about Gmail?
I look at my Hotmail and delete the message - it deletes it on my computer. All of my messages saved in my different folders are shown on my phone, and if I delete them on the phone, they are also deleted on my computer -even if I have moved them to folders!
Look in the e-mail settings / Incoming server settings / Delete email from server. You probably have it set to "When I delete from Inbox". Change it to "Never".
Hope this helps.
I have a similar problem. My main account is yahoo and I get upwards of 100 emails per business day most of which I delete on my desktop computer as they come in. Problem is the Spectrum saves them all, which creates a lot of junk when retrieving email on the phone. I can't find an option called "incoming server settings" under email options on the phone. Any ideas?
I hope you get an answer because I have the same problem too. And I do not see the settings they describe.
I was having this same issue. I fixed it by downloading the app for the actual mail that I use from the android market, for me this was the Yahoo app. For me, I find this app way better than the mail app that comes with the phone anyway so I couldn't be happier. The only problem is that if you have multiple mail accounts you will have to have multiple mail apps. I hope that this helps!
What problems does the Spectrum have? Is there free virus protection from Microsoft for the phone and apps?
There are several anti-virus applications available in the Play Store. Many of them from well known anti-virus companies used on Windows operating systems.
I just got the spectrum and was having issues with my Yahoo email account. Mainly all of my folders that show up on my home computer, and used to show up on my old Droid, did not show up on my new phone. I got the Yahoo mail app and downloaded it and now it works like a charm. All my folders are there, much better
No such option on my Spectrum
I'm not happy with Andriod Email app on LG Spectrum. It bites! I only used it with my company email (exchange server) but after it was upgraded, it stopped working.
Neither Verizon or LG explains why it doesn't work.. why they block the server. I sort of think that Android has some serious issues with exchange email (in security). How come iPhone works perfectly fine?? I don't get it.
Android Email app is so erratic!!!! My next phone is definitely iPhone. I am #1 anti-SteveJobs and anti-Apple but, but I don't have any choice.

Draymond Green scored 16 points with 13 rebounds and set up Keith Appling's late 3-pointer, giving top-seeded Michigan State a 65-61 win over Saint Louis on Sunday and sending the Spartans to the round of 16 in the West Regional of the NCAA tournament.
Michigan State will play No. 4 seed Louisville on Thursday in Phoenix.
Appling added 19 points for the Spartans (29-7), who had to scrap their way past the ninth-seeded Billikens (26-8). Saint Louis controlled the tempo but never got a complete handle on Green, Michigan State's superb senior. He added six assists and even helped mop up sweat off the floor in the final minute.
Kwamain Mitchell scored 13 and Brian Conklin 11 for Saint Louis, back in the tournament for the first time since 2000.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Titles similar to Salinger
Coauthors Shields and Salerno take a much different approach to unveiling the hidden life of J. D. Salinger than Kenneth Slawenski took in his J. D. Salinger (2011). Both books represent nearly a decade of research, and both draw on some of the same material—previously published books on and memoirs about the writer, as well as letters made available since Salinger's death (Shields and Salerno add years of interviews to the mix). Slawenski constructs a traditional biographical narrative from the stew of secondary sources, while Salerno and Shields present the same stew one bite at a time. In fact, their quasi oral history is the print companion to Salerno's recently released documentary, also titled Salinger. (The book jacket of this volume proclaims itself "the official book of the acclaimed documentary film," though early reviews of the production have been almost universally negative.) The book and film follow a roughly chronological track, though the reader emerges with much less of a sense of the flow of Salinger's life here than in Slawenski's account. Instead, we get an enormous clip book showcasing the authors' research: excerpts from hundreds of interviews with people who had some contact with Salinger—and dozens more who had no contact at all but experienced some of the same things Salinger did (mainly WWII) or, in the case of various celebrities, were simply moved by his work. (Do we really need to know what The Catcher in the Rye meant to John Cusack?) But the authors have unearthed some genuinely new material, including interviews with Jean Miller, the first of many teenage girls, on the cusp of adulthood, with whom Salinger had a relationship; more commentary from Salinger's fellow soldiers and from his close friend Paul Alexander than has been previously published; and new interviews with Joyce Maynard, author of a "Daddy Dearest"–style memoir about her years as one of the author's teen obsessions.
Salinger devotees will find all of this laundry airing either endlessly fascinating or cheap and salacious, depending on their tolerance for laundry. But out of all this material, do Shields and Salerno attempt to make sense of this legendarily hidden and peculiar life? Yes, they do, and while many will find quibbles (the excessive attention, for example, paid to the fact that Salinger had only one testicle), overall their vision of Salinger conforms to much of what we have heard before: an ambitious young man who dreamed of publishing stories in the New Yorker, who went through hell in WWII (D-Day, Huertgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, Dachau) and who used writing—he worked on Catcher throughout the war—as a kind of meditation, an escape from the horrors of battle; who suffered from 1945 through his death from post-traumatic-stress syndrome, finding that fame was, for him, a new kind of battlefield to find escape from; and who finally did escape from the world by retreating to New Hampshire and by immersing himself in the Hindu philosophy Vedanta. Or, as the authors sum it up, "The war broke him as a man and made him a great artist; religion offered him postwar spiritual solace and killed his art." It is a consistent point of view, and while certainly an oversimplification, it is well supported by the wealth of commentary included here.
What's lost in all this welter of detail about a troubled man and his peculiar, contradictory life is Salinger's writing. There are snippets of perceptive analysis from Shields and from some of Salinger's fellow writers, and there is plenty of connecting the biographical dots (Jean Miller as the model for Esmé in "For Esmé—with Love and Squalor"), but most readers will come away from this book feeling that what's lost in this messy, muddled hodgepodge of a biography about a messy, muddled life is the precision and clarity of Salinger's best stories.

YOUR WASHINGTON AND YOU! A WEEKLY REPORT from KARL MUNDT SENATOR FROM SOUTH DAKOTA "FOR A FAIR CHANCE FOR A FREE PEOPLE" VOLUME XVIII (1956) NUMBER 24 - FOR RELEASE JUNE 20 OR AFTER * BIG BEND BACK IN BUDGET. Although disapproved by the U.S. Budget Bureau and the House of Representatives, I am pleased to report the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Public Works has put back into the U.S. budget a $150,000 fund for survey work next year on Big Bend Dam. Though one of the smaller dams, Big Bend is necessary to control silt from Oahe Dam, and for generation of more electricity--an always-needed commodity in South Dakota. As a member of this Subcommittee, I made the motion to provide the planning funds so South Dakotans could have a report on the power potentials of this project. And so a decision can be made between two proposed sites for this dam on the Missouri between Pierre and Chamberlain. Local farmers and ranchers need this information to make future plans. ### TO KEEP THEM FLYING. A total of $58,641 has been granted by the Civil Aeronautics Administration as the Federal Share in these three South Dakota Municipal Airport construction projects for next year: Huron--$21,196 to enlarge Administration Building; Rapid City-- $12,983 to extend apron and complete runway; Yankton--$24,462 to pave runway and taxiway, to build fence and acquire land. "THE PRAYER ROOM IN THE CAPITOL" (See other side for details on this new U.S. Sanctuary) ### DIVIDENDS FROM SENIORITY. Much has been said and written about the importance of continuous length-of-service in determining the power and persuasion which can be exercised by an individual Senator or Representative, and why that seniority is of value to his State. Washington observers frequently comment on the important influence on public affairs exercised by Senators from the "Deep South", where they have formed the habit of selecting young men for the Senate and House, and then re-electing them time after time until they get to be Committee Chairmen and Congressional Leaders. Thus, the "Deep South" exercises an influence far beyond its population weight in determining National legislation and appropriations. The recent decision of Senator George not to run again has stimulated many new editorials and "think-pieces" on the importance of seniority. Some Dividends for South Dakota Last week, I had an opportunity of my own to secure for South Dakota some "dividends from seniority" based on my own rather short period of service in the Senate. During that time, I have attained membership on the all-important Senate Appropriations Committee, and a ranking position on two of its Subcommittees. As a consequence, when the funds available for river development were being allocated, I was able--as a direct consequence of seniority--to have earmarked for South Dakota not only the $150,000 for initial planning of Big Bend Dam (mentioned above) but a very important additional $1,150,000 for the ultimate expansion of River Navigation on the Missouri, at least up as far as Yankton. Later, it may prove practical even beyond Pierre. In all events, I had an extra $850,000 added to the $5.6 million navigation project between Omaha and Sioux City, which the House had authorized. And we increased the House amount for river work between Sioux City and Yankton from $1.1 million by an additional $300,000 to make a new total of $1.4 million. Lower Freight Costs for South Dakotans Thus, river navigation dates will be moved forward by the work involving this added $1,150,000. And the day brought that much nearer when "rail-water" rates can reduce freight charges for every South Dakota citizen—and more especially farmers with heavy produce to sell. At times, I must serve as a "three-State-Senator" on the Appropriations Committee since neither Iowa, Nebraska, or Kansas have representation on this Committee. So, on Missouri River improvements, folks of those three States come to me for help on their Midwestern projects and river needs. But since we hope to remain One Big Happy Prosperous River Valley, it is always a pleasure to serve these three States in addition to the MOST IMPORTANT South Dakota! ### FOR RURAL BOOK SERVICE. President Eisenhower is expected to soon sign into law the Library Services Act which is a five-year plan to provide $7.5 million in U.S. funds for public library services in rural areas (communities with less than 10,000 population) which will directly affect no less than half the entire population of South Dakota! The law allocates $82,000 a year for the next five years (beginning July 1, 1956) to South Dakota (with the State to match this amount with a total of $57,000 each year). State Library Director Mercedes MacKay of Pierre says three "bookmobiles" and three regional libraries will be established in the State. I was pleased to vote FOR this law because, as State Library Association President Lucile Vickers of Vermillion wrote me: "This bill will give South Dakota the opportunity to plan and carry out a truly effective library service so badly needed in our State."

"I was looking for a pink label that had more than just the color "pink". I found that these sweet "Stitch Address Labels", not only have have a delightful design, but also are simply perfect!"
"The image and text print quality are great. The flower has good color and the text is very easy to read. (I used the same font for name and address.) Really brighten up a plain white envelope."
"Out of all the labels I recently bought, this one was by far my favorite one. The printing was great and it looks so adorable. I can't wait to order more!"
"I used an awesome daily deal that was emailed to me to try out the address labels and much to my suprise Tiny Prints had hundreds of adorable designs to choose from!! I picked out two and the amazing deal I got on them cannot be beat. I came back a week after I received my address labels and ordered some personalized note cards that I also got a wonderful "daily deal" on! Plus I love the emailed updates on my orders :) and very fast shipping! thanks TP!"
"We purchased these with our son's birthday invitations; we have some left over and love using them. We like the design; nice and bright and fun! The paper quality is very high."

Named after a 1984 Coil single, How to Destroy Angels features Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, former West Indian Girl singer (and Reznor's wife) Mariqueen Maandig and Atticus Ross. Work on the project began a few months after Nine Inch Nails' final show in September 2009, and the following spring, the group made their debut with the digital single A Drowning and a video for the song "The Space in Between," which premiered on pitchfork.com that May. Soon after, the band made their self-titled debut EP -- which was produced by Ross, also NIN's longtime co-producer -- available as a free download. That July, How to Destroy Angels was released on CD through the Null label. ~ Heather Phares

So, whether I'm right or wrong about Aura-kun, you suspect me because I think he's an Independent?
By the way, not once have I said I was, "sure," he was an Independent - it's Day 1, no one is sure of anything. I just feel that, given his play, he is more likely to be Independent than Scum - and I think it would be foolish to waste a lynch on an Independent when we could be looking for Scum.

First up, Lazio tightened their grip on 4th place in Serie A with a convincing 4-1 victory away from home. The Biancocelesti bossed the game from start to finish and look well placed to challenge for 3rd spot in what is the most exciting Serie A season we've seen for a long, long time!
In the Bundesliga, Stuttgart turned in one of their best performances of the season, winning 3-1 away from home to put some distance between them and the relegation spots. Meanwhile Hoffenheim seem to have got that winning feel and put in a workmanlike performance to emerge with a 1-0 victory. Hoffenheim currently sit in 9th place and a couple of wins could see them qualify for Europe next season. We'll be keeping everything crossed for 1899!
Looking ahead, Villarreal are in action this evening as they too, try and secure 4th spot. Whilst the league title may be out of reach for the Yellow Submarine this year, they will be looking to ensure they are playing Europe's top sides next season in the Champions League.
PUMA teams will also have a big say on the Premiership title race with Newcastle playing host the league leaders tomorrow night and Spurs are looking forward to another potentially explosive North London derby against their 2nd placed rivals on Wednesday. It's all to play for!
As we enter the final furlong, it's these games which will decide where league titles are won and lost. We'll be keeping you posted on how the PUMA teams get on!
PUMA Football Weekend Round Up
This weekend was another action packed and successful couple of days for PUMA teams! Many picked up important wins which will edge them closer to European football and in a couple of cases, top flight safety!

Supreme Chancelor!
Eric Holder
1995 footage of Attorney General Eric Holder, when he was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In his remarks before the Woman's National Democratic Club, broadcast by CSPAN 2, Holder said people should be ashamed to own guns, just the way that cigarette smokes now "cower outside of buildings" to smoke. "What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which weve changed our attitudes about cigarettes. You know, when I was growing up, people smoked all the time. Both my parents did. But over time, we changed the way that people thought about smoking, so now we have people who cower outside of buildings and kind of smoke in private and dont want to admit it. Laughter followed.

No, really- his name is Dick Holder.
While not as common, Dick is also a nickname for Eric. (Eric has roots in Richard)

Avocado Malibu Salad Recipe
One of the first things I learned when I moved here from Oregon was to make light salads like this. They're practical, easy and delicious.
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced cooked chicken
- 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup frozen or canned crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed
- 1 tablespoon diced pimientos
- 2 large avocados, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Lettuce leaves
- Red grapes, optional
- In a large bowl, combine sour cream, curry powder and salt. Add the chicken, pineapple, green pepper, crab and pimientos. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Just before serving, toss avocados with lemon juice. Place avocados and crab mixture on lettuce. Garnish with grapes if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

The Sleep Center specializes in diagnosing and treating respiratory pediatric sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, obstructive and non-obstructive hypoventilation, central apnea, primary snoring, and narcolepsy.
Our sleep medicine specialists, Daniel Lesser, M.D., and Meerana Lim, M.D., are board-certified pulmonologists with expertise in sleep-related breathing disorders. To arrive at a diagnosis, the doctors may first evaluate your child to see if a sleep study, or polysomnography, is needed. If a sleep study is necessary, your child and one parent spend the night in an environment designed to relax the young patient, promoting normal sleep.
The sleep study is performed by a registered sleep polysomnography technologist using state-of-the-art equipment. The data is then analyzed, and the specialist interprets the data to determine the appropriate treatment. Polysomnographic testing measures physiologic changes, allowing sleep stages, respiratory abnormalities, cardiac arrhythmias, body movements, arousal from sleep, and abnormal behaviors in sleep to be identified.
Scheduling a Sleep Study
Please make sure we have your most current contact information, phone number and address. If you have scheduling questions or need to talk to someone in the sleep lab, please call and leave a message at 858-635-1214.
Night of Study
You should expect to be at the study for six to eight hours. The majority of studies are completed around 4:30 a.m.. Please arrange for transportation after the study, as we unfortunately cannot accommodate sleeping beyond the study's duration.

Enough rustic italian!
Have now stayed in the Bay for about a month. Moving here for the restaurant and food only. Maybe for a slightly wamer climate than freezing Sweden also...
Been eating out a fair bit, CP cafe, Delfina, Incanto, Cotogna, Camino, Zuni, A Cote, Locanda etc.
Now, this is the kind of food i prefer cooking, but am by some reason craving a fine-dining experience.
I want to go to Aziza, Coi, TFL etc eventually, but would like something new (and affordable). Any new restaurants i should check out to ease my unexpected crave?
I dine alone most of the time.

For less rustic Italian, you should try Perbacco. For "fine dining" Italian, Acquerello is worth a visit. Price-wise, I would place it in the splurge category and I think you would enjoy it more if you did not dine there alone.

re: Rapini
L'ardoise is a nice, cozy place but I never understood the accolades. The food is solid unimaginative French with hit or miss execution. Most entrees come with the same accompaniments. I also find it odd to find "tiger prawns" and "angus beef" advertised on the menu.Reads kind of like a chain or a restaurant from the 80's. NIce for the neighborhood but not worth a trip IMO.
"Fine-dining experience" and affordable is sort of an oxymoron. Maybe Plum? Commis? Commonwealth?

re: olletagesson
I think you will really enjoy Commis. Quite different food experience from the restaurants you've listed but so reasonable for the quality: tasting menu of 6-7 courses WITH wine pairing is $110. Plus they make you feel special.

Blind and Austistic Children
Posted by healthyfx on 8/27/2006 at 2:54 PM
I have a 9 year old son who is blind and on the autism spectrum. Does anyone have a similar child attending school and is your child going to a public or private school? Are you sending them to an autistic program or otherwise? I am interested in hearing your story.
Thank you.

Posted by monarch_1982 on 10/1/2006 at 1:47 PMHello, my name is Lyndsay. I specialize in working with children on the Autism spectrum and also have experience working with children with other disabilities. I have a lot of information I can offer you. Unfortunately, when it comes to the Autism issues, where you are located can often determine the kinds of services that your family may be offered. A great sight for information is the Autism Society of America.
I'd be happy to help in any way that I can. One question, what types of excesses and deficits (other than sight) dose your child experience?
Hope I have helped some!
Re:Blind and Austistic Children
Posted by masullivan on 11/1/2006 at 9:49 PMMy son Matthew is on the Autism Spectrum. He is currently 4 yr old and is mainstreamed in an integrated preschool. He is totally blind. He receives all the appropriate services -except- 10 hrs/week direct service by a board certified ABA specialist (as recommended by a recent eval). The school is in the midst of trying to do the ABLLs test which has to be completely modified for his blindness. Right now he is making progress however slow (1.5yr delayed). I feel strict ABA method of teaching will help speed up his progress. However, he is a very endearing boy and I don't want to break his wonderful spirit.
Re:Blind and Austistic Children
Posted by healthyfx on 11/19/2006 at 3:37 PMThis is Holly again. I posted in 8/06 re: my son who is blind and autistic. In response to Lindsay's post, my son just turned 10 and seems to have light perception as he gets around fairly well. He tends to gaze down and it's hard to determine how he navigates so well considering he looks like his eyes are closed most of the time. I think he sees shadows. All opthalmologists we have seen, a least 4 to say the least, say that his optic nerves are very small and glasses won't help. We all agree he seems something though as he knows when he nears a step (sometimes).
His autistic behaviors include hand flapping, hitting himself in the nose bridge area, constant rocking side to side when standing. He tends to sing a lot, repeats expressions or things he hears us say or on the radio, echolalia, when frustrated or made he may try and bite or just scratch you. We all agree his behaviors go beyond blindisms and resemble autism.
He is currently enrolled in a private school for autistic children where he gets 1:1 from an ABA approach. He is their first and only blind student and it's challenging. His averse behaviors have minimized since enrolled in the program but he doesn't get vision instruction, O & M. Speech or OT there and our local school district is so far from the school they won't provide services. We do have him enrolled in therapuetic horseback riding which he seems to enjoy.
I would like to put him into another school, possibly public, so I can get the other services he needs, but I always get the run around and just want 2 hours of ABA each day in his IEP. He's special and 1:1 really helps him. I am afraid to move him though as I may not get 1:1 for him.
Any thoughts from others are always greatly appreciated.

Posted by robwill22 on 1/4/2007 at 12:54 AMHELP! My cousin married a women that has a son who has autism and is blind. Not sure of full diagnosis but he can not speak, has had several episodes that have landed him in the hospital, and is getting too big for the rough housing that he does when he gets excited. My cousin and aunt are desperate for help because our school system doesn't offer enough resource help. HELP PLEASE!!
Re:Blind and Austistic Children
Posted by nightvelvet on 1/30/2007 at 8:54 PMI'm raising my autistic 10 year old niece and autistic/blind 8 year old nephew. My nephew is a rough and tumble boy and to calm him I use lots of sensory and pressure techniques. Brushing if done properly can also help have an OT show you the proper way.
Give an autistic a full "sensory diet". (google for lots of examples)
Alex is now in public school and I've been lucky to deal with great people at this school (not always the case).
Another thing I've learned is to be firm and be consistent I have experienced people who "baby" special needs kids and they create victims.
Good luck!!!!
Re:Blind and Austistic Children
Posted by LOUISE1972 on 4/10/2007 at 2:02 PMHi, I have a blind and autistic soon to be four year old son. He is currently on Epillum for possible epilepsy, although has never had a fit and the EEG when last done, was clear. He is also on Risperdal for his biting/scratching/pinching and kicking, which he does rarely and usually only when frustrated. He only gets 9 hrs of ABA therapy a week and I'm petrified this is not nearly enough, but we live in South Africa and there are no govt grants, assistance or support for the disabled here and ABA is incredibly costly over here. What techniques/tips have you found that work for your child besides ABA? We have tried the gf/cf diet too which doesn't really make a huge difference that we notice. He has moments of clarity where he will answer us spontaneously and talk to us appropriately and then the next second he's back to nonsensical talk again. My major problem here (I do apologise for the long post) is his screaming. He will wake up repeatedly throughout the night and scream for food. He will not use his words at all, will just scream until we feed him. I realise by giving in to him we are just feeding his bad behaviour, but we have baby twins and an older sister who is now falling asleep in class as she is so exhausted due to this. Besides being absolutely exhausted on a daily basis, we are also hugely stressed with this screaming at the top of his voice, but we just don't know what on earth to do! HELP? Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to be too harsh, and nor do I want to pander to his every need either! Thanks for listening.
Re:Blind and Austistic Children
Posted by Jadest on 4/23/2007 at 9:15 PMHello everyone. I to have a blind autistic child. She is four years old. I live in colorado. I am not getting the right help for her either. She is in the deaf and blind school for now. But they can not handle the autism. They are not educated on that part. So, I have to pull her out of that school for next year and put her in a class room of fifteen children, one teacher and two aids. I have to pay out of pocket to get ABA services. Right now, she only gets six hours a week. I have found this program called AUTISM PRO on the internet. I have been using it. It REALLY helps educate an autistic child. Their is also a three week trainning course at a place called JUDEVINE CENTER in St. Louis Mo. They teach you how to use ABA I have a son who is blind and has asperger's syndrome. He just turned 17. He attends a regular high school and is mainstreamed in all of his classes. He has a full time aide that stays with him during school hours. This summer we had a very hard time with him, which I am finding out is not uncommon with autism and adolescence. The doctors, my husband and myself all felt that he should be hospitalized for adjustment of medication. This was a very hard decision, however for my childs safety we agreed. Unfortunately he did not and we had to go to court. Then tragically no facility in the state we lived in would accept him. His doctor felt it was mainly due to his blindness. Fortunately and with the grace of God, he is doing much better. If I can be of any assistance please let me know. These children are beautiful souls and deserve just as much as any other child/person does. I also have a daughter who is blind and Austistic. She is almost six. She is totally blind and is non-verbal. She seems to understand a lot. She can follow simple commands so I know she can learn to communicate. I could really use some help! I have a 37 year old blind autistic son. Never repeat never give up on them. my son can pick up any instrument and play it in minutes. he lives by himself and cleans it himself. he may be slower than most but he is AWESOME. he went to the school for the blind in iowa for 18 years. they taught him home skills and school there where normal school would of never worked. he needed one on one and they gave it all to him. it is terrible sending your child away but you do it for them and not for you or what anyone says about it.. you do it them because you love them. Hi- My name is Janet. I am an ABA Trainer for a blind autistic boy who is 14 years old. He is severely autistic, has no form of communication, very low functioning. He started going blind about 1 year ago, we still are not sure of the cause, however his optic nerve has atrophied. I have no training in teaching the blind, but I am using common sense when working with him. Meaning I am trying to teach him basic skills such as using his hands to feel his way around. He goes to a AHRC school with children who have many different handicaps but all of which are severe. I woud lke to know where I can receive traing to help him with this additional handicap. I would love to say a lot. Tho, I will just relate that I am amazed to find more blind/autistics than I'd wanted to. I have to agree with some of you regarding diet. My son is both blind and autistic, and he is also short in stature. I was 4-5 months pregnant when I had to receive a tetanus vaccination at work. I believe like 95 % of folks in my country that "thimerasol" (mercury preservative) is the culprit. The mercury cannot escape the body, burns the fibers on the nerve endings in the brain so dairy for sure and some glutens and wheat cannot break down. Causing crazy behaviours and intestinal problems, as well as skin disorders, as the skin is the final escape. Along with voice expression. If anyone would like to have more info from me, or needs to just share, I would be happy to give all I have. Take care. It is a disgrace out there regarding the positive back up we need. Maureen. I wish you all would give your e-mail address when you write these so that everyone could get a direct dialog with these people. I know I would appreciate sharing stories and getting ideas from other moms that live this everyday. I am only 22 years old and have a 5 year old blind/autistic son. Highly autistic, although he he very lovey and doesn't act out physically ever. No speech and the killer for me is that he still drinks a bottle! We have been in therapy for 4 years now trying to get him to eat anything. The doctor says it is a part of his autism, like a security thing. I don't know what to do anymore, it's so frustrating. For both he and I. Loves and responds to music. I am looking into stem cell therapy, anyone heard of it? I would love to hear back for anyone. email@example.com I have a son who has been blind from birth. He just turned 6. He is in a visual imparied program in a local Elm school. They just labeled him with ASD. Which I really had a hard time with. I just am not sure if he really has Autism. He is Exstreamly smart. And Does not display some of the "tipical" Autism traits. But His speech has always been delayed. I have had a really hard time finding any info on Children with both disablities. Can Anyone give me any info on where to start. like where to get more info on Children with Both. And I would love to chat with other moms going threw or have gone threw this. so please feel free to contact me. email@example.com. I am an aide at a high school and working with a blind, autistic 19 year old boy. There is nobody on the staff here that is really qualified to deal with this and who knows what kind of activities would be beneficial for him. How can I find out what is right for him. Are there any resources that can help me figure out the right thnig to do? PLEASE HELP. You can e-mail me directly if you want at email@example.com
Hi, I live in England and I have a 9yr old girl who is totally blind and is on the Autistic Spectrum. She currently attends a school for the blind and boards 4 days a week. There has been nothing suitable to suit her needs and know one seems qualified or experienced to educate her or us as a family. From reading the messages, most families are finding it difficult to find the right provisions. What I am looking for is training courses, doctors, teachers, schools or just people who are experienced or trained to work with both blindess and Autism. I would like to make contact with someone in these areas to gain knowledge on possible aims and teaching stratagies so I can help my daughter develop further. I feel like in some ways the system is failing us and I need to take the matters into my own hands. If anyone knows anything or has some important information that may help, please reply to this post. Many thanks. Hi, My son (11 years) is blind and autistic, also intellectually deficient. We live in Switzerland. He goes to a school for mentally handicapped children. He is the only blind child there. I find it hard to cope. He is a sweet fellow, but there are so many problems. Why are these kids saddled with so many issues? I feel all alone - can't even relate to families with mentally handicapped children, at least their children can see.

I am 28 and have a 5 year old son that was born completely blind.(optic nerve hypoplasia) About a year ago he was diagnosed with autism. Up until then we had thought that his only disability was his blindness although we thought he was developing slower than we thought he would. We have come to realize that his autism is his real disability. We have found it extremely difficult to find any real support for him and his issues/behaviors. I would love to hear from anybody out there dealing with some of the same things. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com I have a 5 year old nephew who was born completely blind. He has a delay in everything. He has just learned to walk. I know that he understands us and he tries to communicate to us. He didn't acquire speech. A speech therapist managed to make him pronounce a word or two but unfortunately she is located in a different city. Also unfortunately in the country where i am located, they don't have the education of teaching blind child to speak. So I need guidance so I would do it myself. Does anyone able to help me, pleaseeeeeeeeeee :(
Hi everyone, my daughter is 10yrs old has septo optic dysplasia(blind and pituatary issues) and is autistic. She has been going to a school for the blind since she was 3yrs old but I'm considering switching her to a school that has a program designed for autistic children. The problem is finding a program that can manage both, b/c so far the specialist for the blind don't deal with the autism, and the people who deal with autism don't have experiance with the blind. I am so frustrated. Hello everyone...
Hi Everyone,
I have a 7 year old blind autistic son. He suffers from ROP with retinal detachment. He now attends a separate school for special needs students but I am looking for him another school because I think it will be a better fit for him. I am interested in talking with others who also have blind and autistic children for support and information. I live in the Charlotte, NC area. Please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com I am a single parent of two kids. My daughter is 7 and has a slight language delay, but my 6 year old son is 100% blind (RoP) and severely artistic.
Hello. I'm new to this website and hopefully I can get some good feedback. Our 13 year old son is blind and has autism. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good software for him? Something that he could do on the computer, maybe that has music involved, etc. He has an Intellikeys, but I'm not finding too many things he can do with it that aren't preschool songs.
My son, Jacob, is 7 years old. He has Anophthalmia (no eyes) and severe Autism. He is losing language and becoming more aggressive and more self-injurous everyday. At his last IEP meeting the school told me they lost his Autism diagnosis and they have no Autism specialist on his team. So even though he has been diagnosed for 9 months, they have done nothing. They do not have Autism on his IEP at all.

Here are some good articles on this subject. Here is the link
Hello, I just did a search re: autism and blindness and saw this discussion. I am a psychologist and former TVI (have some things on the Texas School for the Blind website along with my colleague Lorraine Rocissano). I am sorry for the frustration that many of you describe. You are also describing a range of levels of functioning with your children; and the challenges of the TVI not knowing about autism and the autism specialists relying on visual supports. WELL, if the autism specialists substituted 'concrete, tangible' for visual supports; and if folks looked at some of the strategies used with children who are deaf/blind (e.g., see the www.tsbvi.edu postings on calendars, routines, feeling groovy, etc.) that might help. I am trying to bring the need to identify children early to the attention of the CDC. I am assuming that you are aware of the conference call support sponsored by AFB for parents of children with autism and visual impairment ... that might provide some tips.
Hi, am looking to talk to anyone from Charlotte NC. We will be moving from Ireland to Charlotte in the next few months.I really need infomation on schools and services for my 12 year old son who has optic nerve hypoplasia and autism. please help Forgot to put up my email address. firstname.lastname@example.com Hello, I am looking for some advice. My nephew is 15 years old and severely blind with autism. Over the last year, he has had some very strong outburst where he lashes out at us, almost every time causing one of us to bleed and get stitches. Everyone tells me to call the cops on him, but I can't. He doesn't mean too hurt us. We have taking him to a Phsyward and they put him on medication that last for a few weeks. Then we are right back where we started at. Last night was another bad incident. He is 6'2 and 230 lbs and is just too big for us to handle anymore. We have applied for state assistance to get help on finding him an in-home care, but that was over a year in and half ago and we are still waiting. They just keep saying there are no open spots at this time. Does anyone have any advice they can give me? My sister is at a loss for words and the anger is getting so bad with him, that his siblings are now scared to go home at times. Due to his age, the hospitals only take him for a few days, then he comes back home. Any help would be great. My email is email@example.com. We live in Seattle WA as well.Re:Blind and Austistic Children

Stay hopeful. I too am in a tough situation. I am 24 years old, interning as a speech therapist at a High School in Miami, FL. It seems as though teachers don't even KNOW what to do! I've been reading, researching, asking professors, asking Dr.'s but these students are in the minority.
Well..... I've heard that Auditory Integration is an excellent start! I will commence this by trial and error starting next week with a 16 year old, low functioning, severely autistic and blind boy.
------> The post by dsitkowski on 09/10/2007 was encouraging. How did you help your son improve?

We have been parenting a blind child with autism and cognitive delays for a few years.
I am wondering if anyone has experience with Mellaril?
Our child has become much more tolerant of his environment...but seems to have lost some of his desire or ability to navigate.
He is using his self-taught echolocation system less, and seems to be less inclined to use protective techniques.

We have tried 3 programs with my daughter, until we were able to adjust the local ASD program for her, with a lot of support. This works for now, but she is due to transfer next year to middle school.

Posted by whisperlupine on 8/11/2010 at 4:53 PM
For those living in the US, the following is incredibly important!
1) There are laws that guarantee solid treatment for disabled people, particularly children. Get ahold of the full text on all of the Federal, State, and local education and disability laws and study them thoroughly. Note anything that is useful to you, and understand the caveats written into the laws.
2) The education system here is a money game, and is severely underfunded at best. The districts have to pay for everything with the little they have to work with. That being said, the Law clearly stipulates that financial concerns may not be considered when determining services for your child. Of course, in a cash-strapped district, this is generally not going to be the case. They are going to want to do as little and as cheap as possible, and you will have to fight every step of the way.
3) Autism is still not very well understood, and few people have any training and even fewer have the thorough training and experience needed to treat this disease. Rarer still is the blind/autistic dual diagnosis, so there are even fewer experts. Even if your district is not considering cost, there is much that they just don't know. Most likely, you know more than their specialists. Keep in mind that the Autism (if moderate to severe) is the primary diagnosis. Keep the focus on the Autism so that they don't waste the time focusing on the vision, which will work itself out. My son gets around quite well and runs into things less than my sighted and neuro-typical daughter!
4) You are your child's ONLY advocate. If you really want solid treatment, fighting for it will be your full time job. Do not make the mistake of approaching IEPs as if the district is on your side! An IEP is a tactical battle in an endless war. You have to come to the meeting fully armed with a thorough knowledge of applicable law, as much dirt as you can dig up on your district, and the names of a few good lawyers. Go in letting them know that you aren't playing games or laying down. Let them know that you will not hesitate to take them to court. Remember, court battles will cost them far more than just treating your child.
5) Find all of the resources available to help you. For instance, IHSS pays a parent for staying home with their child. Regional Centers provide lots of services too, and they are the ones funding the residential portion of my don's schooling at Jr Blind. SSI gives a bit of financial help too.
Despite what some would say, placing your child in a good residential program is not deserting them. Kids that are blind and artistic need a lot of support. At home, after your child gets off of school, you as the parent still have to cook, clean, pay bills, play with each of the children, etc. In a residential program, they are continuously learning with direct 1on1 attention, support, and teaching for all of their waking hours! Your child will have a better chance of becoming independent when they grow up in a program like that than if they stay at home getting less help.
Thus far, I have moved us to 6 different states trying to get help for my son before I found that you just have to stay and hammer them until they give your kid what they need. It's a long struggle, but it's necessary and in the end rewarding.
Finally, as of 3 months ago, my son was placed by the district at a private foundation called Jr Blind Foundation of America, located in Los Angeles, Vs. It is an amazing program that specializes in dual diagnoses and one-on-one instruction. Next month, my son will start the residential program, and we are all excited to see how well he does. One thing nice about being in a private program paid for by the district (and the Regional Center) is that they don't care about cost because they just do what what the parent asks for in the IEP meetings, and the district has to pay for it, so they can provide the best possible treatment and training for my son! There are several programs like it around the country...you just have to convince your district to put it in the IEP.
Hope this is helpful! Please don't give up or settle...your kid's future fully depends on it!

His doctor has told me that we are "losing" him and we will never get him back unless we do something drastic very quickly. His school has not responded despite several attempts on my part to get a new IEP meeting.
Anyway, I am very frustrated. I work for the school district we live in and I think that actually may hurt us instead of help us. We were thinking about moving but after reading other posts I am not sure if that is the best route. Plus, how do you know to where you should move? If I call other school districts and ask if they have the resources for my severely disabled child I get the same old "an IEP is an individual education plan. We make decisions on a case to case basis." This is not helpful.
Jacob's doctor insists that Jacob needs intense one-on-one therapy for 25-30 hours a week. He is getting nothing. My insurace does not cover Autism treatment. If we do not go through the school district, we will have to pay everything out of pocket.
Actually, I thought that insurance had to pay for Autism treatment. I know that I read just recently that in Missouri Autism treatment must be covered by insurance. My insurance says that nothing is covered. I do not know why there is a discrepency.
