ISSUES
- The Sibling Support Project
"The Sibling Support Project is a national program dedicated to
the interests of brothers and sisters of people with special health
and developmental needs. The project is based at Children's Hospital
and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, Washington."
http://www.seattlechildrens.org/sibsupp/
- Siblings of Autism
From the site: "Being a sibling of someone with Autism has made
me realize that many things in life require hard work, patience and
understanding. I thought up the idea for siblingsofautism.com when I
was thirteen almost fourteen. Our Family was going through some
stressful times and I looked, in vain, for a place to vent my feelings
and a place just to chat with someone who knew what I was going
through. This page is made not only for a support group for siblings
of children with these disorders, but also as a page to help people
who have not been exposed to Autism, learn more about it."
http://www.siblingsofautism.com/
- Support for Siblings of
Individuals with Autism
"Within this section we have gathered together details of:
Personal experiences of siblings of people with autism, Ideas for
family days out, Support groups for siblings, On-line support for
siblings, Useful reading for siblings."

DDI - (800)
323-2784 (Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, central time)
Great place to do hair testing and other tests. The Autism
Mercury List
has the counting
rules for DDI (they are the one's that do the actual testing) for heavy
metals, including mercury. You need these counting rules to determine if
there is high mercury, because mercury will usually not test out of the normal
range because it has settled into the tissues (based on Andy Cutler's
book/experiences). You will need a doctor to sign to have this test done
(they may need to set up an account).
http://www.doctorsdata.com
If you want to have the same hair test done at DDI but do not want to go
through a doctor,
you can order the test through:
Direct Laboratory Services, Inc.
Call 1 (800) 908-0000Ext. 404 , Mon-Fri, 8-5 Central Time
and one of their doctors will order the test for you, for a mark up of about
$37.00s.
Although there is a markup, you won't have to pay for a doctor's office visit.

TREATMENTS
The

To help judge how much a treatment
is helping parents suggested to go to: http://www.autism.com/atec/
and answer the questions. You will get a score to compare how things are
going. You may hear other parents talking about an ATEC improvement score
for a particular treatment and this is where you can score things and help
Dr. Rimland track treatments. Under the assessment period I would suggest
you say baseline on your treatment information.
