Daisymae asked:


If a person has never been around or has any experience with an autistic child, can they watch the kids to afford respite for the parents every now and then? What kind of training does one need in order to help?

Hi, I have a much Younger sibling who is seven who has mild autism. I have just found out about him (he is my half brother) and have not met him. How much will it effect his behavior? I do not know what to expect! Apparently he is really hyperactive and has learning problems. Please help!

Staci asked:


These days I hear a lot of news and coverages of autism. In the past, I kept asking myself why was I so different from others and what was wrong with me until I learned of autism in 2004.

Were there any news or coverages of autism in 1990-2003? In K-12, I never heard the word “autism” and I was never tested for autism. If I had known about my autism back then, I would have gotten help.

Did autism start to become high profile and well known through the media in 2004? If not, when?
