"Aunt Blabby": A Helpful Exercise for Siblings
OrganisationPacific Northwest Children's Services 
AuthorTimmons Schubert, D 
Detailed Description

"Aunt Blabby" was created by the team of Donald Meyer and Patricia Vadasy of the National Association of Sibling Programs (NASP), The Sibling Support Project, Seattle, Washington. They are the creative team that developed Sibshops.

Aunt Blabbly is introduced to siblings by having them answer letters written by "other siblings" and offer advice to Aunt Blabby about how she could advise the children. While the letters may be put together by a ghostwriter, the issues presented are concerns the children have shared in my many encounters with siblings.

'Leaky Gut' and the Gluten- / Casein-Free Diet
OrganisationCenter for the Study of Autism, Salem, Oregon 
AuthorEdelson, S.M 
Detailed DescriptionLeaky gut.: Many autistic individuals have permeable intestinal tracts, and this is often referred to as ‘leaky gut.’ There appears to be many reasons for the problem of ‘leaky gut’ in autistic individuals, such as a viral infection (e.g., measles), yeast infection (i.e., an overgrowth of candida albicans), and a reduction in phenol sulfur transferase (PST; which lines the intestinal tract and protects it from leakiness). There is also some speculation that heavy metals in the intestinal tract can weaken membranes; and this, in turn, can cause ‘leaky gut.’
