My Daughter will turn 22 on friday and basically has Aspergers (undiagnosed, diagnosed with PDD and autism) My son is 19 and is severely autistic (nonverbal and not potty trained).

The conference I didn't think was repetitive...I was surprised I found out somethings I didn't know. This conference in particular was for Adult children on the spectrum... thats why we went. I will go through the information and give you websites also the people who sponsored this is Autism today and you maybe able to get transcripts...the books they handed out are just that; reprints of the info presented....just too much info to scan...sorry! Also if you want you can visit my site and scroll down to the RSS feeds, the info there changes every once and a while...they have research on autism and the newest breakthroughs. Talk to you later

HI Christie...My name is Andy I'm an Xray tech soon to be a CT tech; I also have 2 special needs children with ASD. If you are interested in news of breakthroughs etc I have some RSS feeds that may be of use to you, also we just came home from a conference in Orlando and got some pretty good resources, so if you're interested...

Anyway this is a great site enjoy and I hope to see you in the forums!

Hi Christie,

Welcome to Medical Mingle. You can learn a bit about me from my profile. I started this site, which went “live” on 9/24/07, and try to be as active as I can be. Please comment me back, and let me know how you like it.

We have some great members, and a lot of fun in the forums. Please check out our contests on our home page (including a fantastic one week cruise for two), and get involved. The more active you are, the more fun you'll have, as will our other members.

You can communicate directly with other members (messaging and live chat), contribute to our blog and forums, add pictures, add videos, join groups, send a crush, and go shopping.

From a professional standpoint, you can find new jobs, find new employees, get industry news, obtain free professional journals, salary information, education information, licensing information, and career, client, and recruitment training.

Please read the following if you’d like to have access to a spell check program when using our site: www.medicalmingle.com/for...

If you wish to use Medical Mingle as a recruitment tool, this forum post might be very helpful: www.medicalmingle.com/for...

Let me know if you need any help with anything. You can message me, and/or call me. My phone # is on my profile.

The nicest compliment that you can give us (outside of being active yourself) is to tell others about us, and encourage them to join us for free. You can even win great prizes for doing so, including a fantastic one week cruise for two. It’s probably best to speak with people personally about us, but we do have an invite feature that you can use as well. Please read this important forum post about this subject: www.medicalmingle.com/for...

Per Andy Hale's suggestion (Creative Director of OneSite, Medical Mingle's Software Platform), we welcome you to invite spouses, adult children, and other adult family members and friends to join us, regardless of whether they are working in, servicing, or studying for a career in the health care and medical field.

The more members we have, the more vibrant, beneficial, and fun our site will become.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Ken
