Welcome
to the website - a point of reference on the World Wide Web for
information on the subject of Asperger Syndrome and other Autistic
Spectrum related disorders, while at the same time helping to create
more public awareness on this little known and talked about subject.
The name for the web site came about after much thought about the
Autistic spectrum its range and complexity, together with the structure
of an everyday rainbow, bringing its own complexity and spectrum
with many different hues and shades of one colour.
"Just
as the rainbow has its spectrum so too has Autism.....welcome to
the colour-se7en...Steve McGuinness.
The
colour yellow features predominantly in the logo, I feel it represents
hope in the understanding of autism and the connection of all of
the pieces of this illusive and complex puzzle. As I write on this
web site I tend to refer to anyone on the spectrum as an 'autistic'
despite the fact that every autistic is different from every other
one, however the similarities between people on the spectrum are
far greater than those not on the spectrum. There is a possibility
that there may be certain statements written by me within this website
that you may not agree with and as such may be likely to offend,
I would like to apologise now if I do offend as it is not my intension
to do so . For instance people have been heard to say, which I feel
is one of the most devastating myths with reference to autistic
children in that they cannot show affection. I would say to this
while sensory stimulation is processed differently in some children
with autism, they can and do give affection, but it may require
patience on a parent's part to accept and give love on the child's
terms.

A
S D (Autistic Spectrum Disorders).

Due
to the fact of its invisible nature, creating awareness and understanding
of this condition can be difficult. It was first identified in 1943
and Autism is still a relatively unknown disability, with this in
mind all autistic spectrum disorders are estimated to affect the
lives of over 500,000 families throughout the UK. I personally think
one of the most controversial statements that has been made is the
fact that Aspergers and other Autistic disorders are caused due
to an adverse - effect or reaction to immunisation for instance,
the triple type of vaccines and others with heavy metal preservatives
which were used in (previous times) in the manufacture of them,
my perspective is the argument actually fails to address that while
females are affected, all Autistic spectrum disorders are overwhelmingly
male, however both sexes are immunised in approximately the same
equal numbers.
