New brochure helps parents find services for children with autism.

A new brochure about autism spectrum disorder, now available as part of the Federal Government's Helping Children with Autism package, is designed to help parents and carers find the best care for their children. "Autism can seem like bad behaviour, and no two children will have exactly the same set of problems so it can be difficult to recognise," says psychologist and brochure co-author Dr Rebecca Mathews, from the Australian Psychological Society. "However, parents are best placed to know their own children, so if they feel something is not right they should ask for an assessment. It is also important that parents know which health professionals provide assistance with autism and how they can access these services." Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability that is part of the broader category called pervasive developmental disorders, which includes Autistic disorder (autism), Asperger's disorder, Pervasive developmental disorder – Not otherwise specified, Rett's disorder and Childhood disintegrative disorder. The new brochure, I know every child is different, but I'm still worried…A guide to the assessment and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, outlines the signs of ASD and the recommended process for assessment and treatment, including the various roles of the allied health professionals who may be involved. It was developed by the Australian Psychological Society, Speech Pathology Australia and Occupational Therapy Australia under the umbrella of Allied Health Professions Australia, with funding from the Federal Government. "ASD principally affects a child's social skills, ability to communicate and behaviour, so interventions focus on developing life skills and the ability to interact and communicate with others, and on changing unhelpful behaviours," Dr Mathews says. "Evidence shows that an interdisciplinary approach with a team of health professionals is most effective for children with ASD. A team approach could include a paediatrician, child psychiatrist, psychologist, speech pathologist and occupational therapist." Under the Helping with Autism package there is also funding available for a range of early intervention services for children with ASD. The brochure outlines how people can access this funding. For more information the brochure can be downloaded at www.autism.ahpa.com.au, or to find a psychologist, call the Australian Psychological Society's Find-a-psychologist service on 1800 333 497.

Being Vegetarian And Breastfeeding

Some people claim that vegetarian mums probably are not able to provide adequate nutrition to their newborn baby by way of their breast milk. In particular, the claim is made when mother is a vegan. Since Vegans don't have dairy or milk products, are they taking in enough calcium to pass it on to their infant in breast milk?
There is however little basis to this claim so long as the mother has a balanced diet that includes enough nutrients such as calcium, zinc, and vitamin B12 which are important for the mother as well as the baby. The fact is that the body manages to create a good balance in terms of nutrients to a baby by way of breast milk.

It is actually possible to get these vital nutrients from food sources: bran cereals, peanuts, beans, wheat germ, spinach, yeast and pumpkin seeds provide zinc.
There are also many vegetarian and vegan food sources that provide adequate calcium.
If the mother is a vegan who does not have any dairy or fish, then getting vitamin B12 is a problem. It may be required for her to supplement her intake with a B12 supplement while pregnant or nursing.
