Blog-a-thon Day 29

I'm looking forward to reading a new book which has just been released: Ido in Autismland: Climbing Out of Autism's Silent Prison. I have posted Ido's writing on this blog before. I must admit to an internal cringe at the word "prison" because I don't like to see autism that way.  I'm very curious to read more of Ido's perspective.

I admire Ido for how he continues to work through the obstacles he lives with. And putting his innermost thoughts and feelings into a book is fantastic. I will support his (and his mom's) endeavor by purchasing a few copies. We authors need to stick together :-). Go Ido!!

Here's some more information about the book.

Ido in Autismland opens a window into non-verbal autism through dozens of short, autobiographical essays each offering new insights into autism symptoms, effective and ineffective treatments and the inner emotional life of a severely autistic boy. In his pithy essays, author Ido Kedar, a brilliant sixteen year old with autism, challenges what he believes are misconceptions in many theories that dominate autism treatment today while he simultaneously chronicles his personal growth in his struggles to overcome his limitations.

Ido spent the first half of his life locked internally, in silence, trapped in a remedial educational system that presumed he lacked the most basic comprehension, and unable to show the world that he understood everything. But at the age of seven, Ido was finally able to show that he had an intact mind and could understand. This led to the quest to find a system of communication that he could use despite his impaired motor control. Through the use of a letter board, and now an iPad, Ido has triumphed communicatively, enabling him to flourish in a regular high school in all general education classes.

But Ido has a larger goal. He does not want to be seen as an isolated autistic exception with miraculously advanced cognitive and communication abilities. He wants people to see that thousands of other severely autistic individuals have the same capacity, but remain trapped and locked-in, as he was, unable to show their true capacities. These individuals desperately need new theories and new methods to help them break free too. Of importance to neuro-researchers, educators, psychologists, doctors, parents, friends, family and people with autism, Ido in Autismland will change our collective understanding of severe autism.

PRAISE FOR Ido in Autismland

"There are doubtless many Idos in this world, unable to speak, yet possessing good intellectual ability and, most certainly, a rich emotional life. And yet, precisely because they cannot communicate, nonverbal individuals with autism are nearly always consigned to the junk heap of mental deficiency, branded as incapable of understanding language or even having feelings... We need to help change things for this terribly neglected group... Reading Ido's book is a good beginning." -

~~Portia Iversen, Co-founder, Cure Autism Now and the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange Gene Bank. Author of Strange Son

"Ido is a brilliant communicator. His words bring us inside the world of autism. His gift of writing enlightens, inspires, educates. Every person who loves or works with someone with autism - educator, therapist, karent, grandparent, neighbor - should read Ido in Autismland." -

~~Elaine Hall, Author of Now I See the Moon, co-author of Seven Keys to Unlock Autism. Featured in Autism: The Musical

"Ido's book touches any heart, not only because it is well written, but because it reveals a mind that has learned how to speak to the world through spelling every word on a letter board and keyboard. His book is indeed a great gift to the world. Thank you, Ido." -

~~Soma Mukhopadhyay, Executive Director of Education, HALO, Author of Understanding Autism through Rapid Prompting Method

Vanwege de enorme hoeveelheid online casino’s komt er bovendien meer communicatie voor gokkers.

Casinos Online

De BBC heeft ingeschat dat advertenties voor online gokken bij de grootste vijf adverteerders zijn. Casino’s die online zijn , waaronder Europa Casino gebruiken twee kalibers software. Je hebt software die je kunt downloaden bij je pc. Je hebt ook flash casino’s. Daar hoef je geen software te downloaden.Ieder casino bepaalt een optie voor de uitvoering van het internet casino. Door alle gecompliceerde software is het niet mogelijk om een internet casino te vergelijken met een traditioneel casino. Beide types beschikken over onderscheidende aspecten. Online kun je continu gokken. Hier is het mogelijk diverse games tegelijkertijd spelen. Bij een offline casino is dit ongebruikelijk. In een offline casino is vaak een betere sfeer. Hierdoor lijkt dit beter op een gezellig avondje uit Online Casinos Bij een internet casino is helaas wel een beetje minder persoonlijk. Je speelt vrijwel altijd vanuit thuis , waarbij geen aangename sfeer is. Toch maken online casino’s wel extra sfeer. De speelautomaten zijn opvallend qua ontwerp. Bovendien is er regelmatig muziek als sfeerverhogend element.In een online casino mag je 24/7 spelen. Je kunt wedden waar je ook bent. Online casino’s brengen online inzetten bij jou in huis. Sterker nog, wanneer jij dit leest, sta jij al op de drempel van internet casino’s. Welke aspecten stoppen jou van inzetten bij een online casino?
