Hello, I am a mother of an Aspie teenager and I know a thing or two about being an AS adult. I wish AS children to enter into an adult life of equal...
Hi there: Don't know about Twitter I'm afraid! I'm a researcher in the UK and not a person with AS/ASC. I am interested in working with people on the autism...
Hi Rita, Thanks for that intro, Mitzi. The reason for the name is that the group is an outreach of London Autistic Rights Movement. We set it up as a way that...
This list was set up to give professionals a chance to communicate with Autistic people. We want to keep the main list for Autistic people. It is useful for...
Hi there, Welcome to the Researchers group, Rita. Some people in the group are not on the autism spectrum, such as Mitzi, but some others are such as myself...

No I think Autistic people like the Internet but I do not think the Internet can cause Autism. David Shamash. ... From: David Dreebin...
David D:Â I have just had a quick look at what she said and she might well be right. If one is on the Internet all the time one does not relate to other...
David S: think I agree with most of what you say. I think if one is on the Internet all the time, it could make a person more autistic, but if someone is not...

I think it could certanly cause Autistic symptoms being with a Computer all the time and not having human contact. David Shamash. ... From: David Dreebin...
It would not just be the computer screen but we tend to do activities which do not have human contact such as watch tellevision and listen to the Radio as well...
This is obviously idiotic: by definition, autism occurs before the age of 3 (see DSM-IV), though it may be diagnosed later on. Know any two-year-olds who are...
Computers might bring on Autistic symptoms I have said before that if one is locked in a room by one self one could become Autistic. I am communicating with...
Perhaps I should say being locked in a room could bring on Autistic Symptoms but most Autistic people according to current knowledge are born that way. David...
The consensus amongst researchers is that almost all people with autism hare autistic from birth--although a few may acquire autistic traits through, for...
Many thanks for your valuable input, Mitzi. I don't think Facebook (or Twitter or similar) should be singled out as being a cause or aggravation of...

Mitzi: I explained before that I did Mind Reading Tests for Baron Cohen's Research centre in Cambridge in 2002. They were actually supervised by Ofer...
Yes, and this issue is not unique to autism either. Whenever someone has a diagnosis (whether it's a diabetes or cerebral palsy or something else) there is a...
Mitzi: I did have an exray so I was not denied an examination but many Autistic people have bowl problems. In other words more than the general population....
I think I'd agree with Dr Goldacre. Whilst, for many autistic people, online communication styles can be easier, and could thus, as David said, reinforce some...
I think this is a very valid point - possibly a reason that computers can be seen as addictive. The active element can mean that you are more strongly engaged...
Does the Mail mean the News Paper in this context. David Shamash. ... From: Phil Culmer <phil_culmer@...> Subject: RE: [arm_researchers] "Causes" of...
Yes: The Daily Mail or Sunday Mail. I have the impression that you read these, David, and so would like to make a point of saying that I don’t mean anything...
 I only look at the Mail occasionally and they are good articles in them including health. Did you read the Health section last Tuesday? David Shamash. ... ...
... No they wont or all people would become autistic by going on the computer. They can be easily addicted to which is a different thing. ... * i have disputed...
