It's gratifying to talk to a teacher who isn't closeminded about this ASD and the whole area of such.. places I recommend you look for answers are; the National Vaccine Information Center, www.909shot.com and the Autism Research Institute, www.autism.com/ari for info and checklist tests. There are also a list of Dr's who do specialize in this disorder, find them under DAN list on the ARI site. Regards, grandma peg
