April is Autism Awareness Month. Can you believe, most
Autism symptoms are not covered for treatment under
your average health coverage? It's true! 1 in 6 children
are now diagnosed with this puzzling disorder. Autism
varies widely in its severity and symptoms and may go
unrecognized, especially in mildly affected children
or when it is masked by more debilitating handicaps.
Doctors rely on a core group of behaviors to alert
them to the possibility of a diagnosis of autism.

These behaviors are:
* impaired ability to make friends with peers
* impaired ability to initiate or sustain a conversation with others
* absence or impairment of imaginative and social play
* stereotyped, repetitive, or unusual use of language
* restricted patterns of interest that are abnormal in intensity or focus
* preoccupation with certain objects or subjects
* inflexible adherence to specific routines or rituals

Famous people with Autism or are rumoured to have Autism are......

for relying so heavily on the views of others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were two guys riding motorcycles on a windy day.
One of the guys was complaining because the cold air was
blowing into his shirt. His buddy told him to turn his
jacket around, so that the collar of the jacket would be
at his neck. That way no air could get into his shirt. So
that is what he did.

After riding for a while the two men came up on a curve.
They were going too fast and they crashed. Witnesses
called 911 and rushed to the motorcyclists aid. When
the police arrived, they began doing a report.

The police asked a witness if both of the men were deceased
when they got to the scene. "No" the man replied, "The one
man was still alive, but by the time we got his head turned
around to where it was supposed to be, he was dead!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man and woman were having dinner in a fine restaurant.
Their waitress, taking another order at a table a few
steps away, suddenly noticed that the man was slowly
sliding down his chair and under the table, but the woman
acted unconcerned. The waitress watched as the man slid
all the way down his chair and out of sight under the table.

Still, the woman appeared calm and unruffled,
apparently unaware that her dining companion had
disappeared. The waitress went over to the table and
said to the woman, "Pardon me, ma'am, but I think your
husband just slid under the table."

The woman calmly looked up at her and said, "No he didn't.
He just walked in the door".
