Just a quick note to say that the latest issue of my 40-
page
monthly international autism newsletter, Looking Up
(www.lookingupautism.org), is out now. Each month, we publish the
most
recent research findings, news and views from the world of autism.
The latest issue includes:

the world

free diet on autistic children

insist: 'Our autistic son needs electric prod to stop him banging his
head'
EMPLOYMENT: 'People with autism can be valued workers'
We cast an eye back on just a few of the many stimulating
presentations at the second World Autism Congress, including comments
from Professor RITA JORDAN, WENDY LAWSON and Dr PETER VERMEULEN
Misuses of the word 'autism'
AUTISM AND THE ARTS: Playwright honoured for dark comedy; Icelandic
documentary tackles all aspects of autism; Hindi film brings autism
into the mainstream
