]]> Comment on Discrimination of Autism child. by Michelle McFarland-McDaniels http://letscureautism.com/blog/2008/09/13/discrimination-of-autism-child/#comment-52 Michelle McFarland-McDaniels Sun, 14 Sep 2008 00:57:24 +0000 http://letscureautism.com/blog/?p=22#comment-52 I have heard and read about many cases of families affected by autism experiencing discrimination. I have compiled a list of resources for filing complaints when you have suffered discrimination. I hope your family will take appropriate action against the landlord. As the mom of two children who have autism, I have had more than my fair share of encounters with people who seem to believe they have carte blanche to violate the rights of others.

She was diagnosed at 2. She also is a night wanderer. What we did was to install a window alert on each window. It has two pieces-one fits on the frame of the window and the other sticks to the window. When the pieces separate an alarm sounds. During the day when we're moving around the house we switch them to off. We tried the high height metal gates that screw into the wall and she would push toys next to it and climb over to get around. this seems to work better. now she gets up and plays in her room or comes to our room and announces "still up". With the help of sign language, she is starting to speak again. Not have conversations but small phrases or single need words like hungry, milk, swing. About the school system--We are VERY LUCKY here. Our daughter is in a self contained Autistic room. It has a total of 4 autistic students, a teacher, and an aide. The teacher is wonderful about speaking with us every day inre to how her day went, her eating, sleeping, speaking, playing. Our daughter is a little more advanced than the other 3. She also doesn't sleep-so when the others take a nap they work with her on advanced things. They then send copies home to us so we can all be on the same page. They have a tent set up for the kids..if they feel overwhelmed, they go into the tent and zip it up. Part of the top has a small window space so the kids think they are alone but the teacher can see in. Her speech teacher and adaptive PE teacher does the same thing. She goes nowhere without her beenie baby piglett. she's allowed to bring it to class. The funny part is we live in Lousiana- which is always in the news for crooked politicians, floods and hurricanes, and being last in education. However, this one district is truly trying to help our kids and do the right thing by them. Hi, I’m the mom of a 4 1/2 year old who is globally autistic. She was diagnosed at 2.
