A Shade Of Grey. Dad to the Bear. Just another parent of an autistic child, trying to gain some insight and understanding. Thursday, May 01, 2008. Feeling A Little Optimistic. From my last post, one might conclude that I’m feeling a bit pessimistic these days. Instead, I’m actually feeling a little optimistic. The reason is related to the Bear’s education. Just to get the point out of the way, if anyone has an issue with IBI, my thoughts on the Bear’s program are here. Does the school have a program?

A Shade Of Grey: Some Thoughts Regarding IBI
http://a-shade-of-grey.blogspot.com/2006/05/some-thoughts-regarding-ibi.html
A Shade Of Grey. Dad to the Bear. Just another parent of an autistic child, trying to gain some insight and understanding. Saturday, May 13, 2006. Some Thoughts Regarding IBI. ABA/IBI has been subject to some negative posts recently, most notably by Prometheus.

The big question is this - does ABA actually "treat" autism - or just treat the "symptoms"? Undoubtedly, some of the...

A couple of weeks ago I received an offer on my blog email (which I must confess I don't check very regularly) inviting me to join the Wellsphere Health Bloggers Network.

A Shade Of Grey: ‘Autistic’ vs. ‘Has Autism’
http://a-shade-of-grey.blogspot.com/2007/11/autistic-vs-has-autism.html
