that looks at teacher movement within the labor force. K-
12 Teachers residing in MD, DC, or VA will be paid $50.00

introduction about the survey and then ask you to sign a
consent form to allow them to tape you while you go through
a questionnaire using the internet on your computer.
During the interview, one Interviewer will ask you a series

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Optimistic, Insightful CD On Autism and Asperger’s Offers
A Valuable Resource For Schools
July 30, 2004, Royal Oak, MI — Many people have heard of
autism, but few are familiar with its close relative:
Asperger Syndrome. Actually, most people know very little
about both conditions or have misconceptions about persons
with Autism and Asperger’s. That’s precisely why Mindscape
Productions, L.L.C. [link removed].
“The CD offers a practical, informative, user-friendly way
to learn about autism and Asperger’s,” says Lecia Macryn,
who co-created the CD with Jeff LaDuke of Mindscape
Productions. “You don’t have to sit and crack open a book.
You can pop it in a CD player and listen to it at your
convenience, while you’re doing other things like driving
or working on the computer.”
Autism is a spectrum disorder whose symptoms and
characteristics can present themselves in a wide variety
of combinations, from mild to severe. Symptoms include:
disturbances in the rate of appearance of social and
language skills; abnormal responses to sensations;
impairment of speech and language; and abnormal ways of
relating to people, objects and events. Mildly affected
individuals may show only slight delays in language and
greater challenges with social interactions. The severe
form of the syndrome may include extreme self-injurious,
repetitive, highly unusual and aggressive behavior. Autism
typically appears during the first three years of life.
Recent research establishes the prevalence of Autism as 1
in 250 and is four times more common in boys than girls.
It has been found throughout the world in families of all
racial, ethnic and social backgrounds. Children
don’t “outgrow” autism, but symptoms may lessen as they
develop and receive treatment.
Asperger’s is a neurobiological disorder named for a
Viennese physician, Hans Asperger, who published a paper
in 1944 describing the autistic-like condition.
Individuals with Asperger’s typically don’t have the
severity of communication problems as those with autism,
however, they show marked deficiencies in social skills,
have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer
sameness. They typically have obsessive routines and may
be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest.
Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and
sights, people with Asperger’s may prefer soft clothing,
certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights that no
one else seems to notice..
“Living In The Spectrum” is an ideal primer for parents,
relatives, teachers, employers and anyone wanting to learn
about autism and Asperger's. Not the typical dry lecture,
the 55-minute CD delivers a captivating and easy
introduction to the subject matter. “It offers hope and
encouragement,” Macryn says. “It puts a whole new light
and perspective on autism and Asperger's.”
So far, parents and professionals have responded
positively to the CD, which was officially released July
16.
“This CD is a breath of fresh air because it adds a new
dimension to the total picture where doom and gloom is
often the first emotion parents feel when their child has
received a diagnosis of Autism,” says, Laurence A Becker,
PhD, Creative Learning Environments.
Parent, Suzanne Rossi says: “This positive approach left
me with renewed hope that someday autism might be viewed
less often as a disability and more often as human
diversity. Great Job!"
Karen Simmons, CEO and founder of Autism Today and the
author of “Little Rainman,” is equally impressed. “What a
fabulous resource you have put together! I sure wish I had
this available 10 years ago.”
“Living In The Spectrum – Autism & Asperger’s” is
available for $16.95 online at

Audio samples of the CD are also available on the website.
Special discounts are available for schools and libraries.

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has feedback about the quality of
City University in Seattle, specifically, their Elementary
Education undergraduate program.
Thanks!

If you want a job when you graduate, the demand
is for high school math. Do not major in elementary
or middle school b/c there are MANY people looking
for jobs there. If you are smart, major in high
school math!
