Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hi all.... Because I am not in school currently, I don't have any access to academic journals and such. I am curious to know where I can find up to date information on the connection between brain injuries and AS/HFA/PDD-NOS or autism in general please. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your Web-browser's 'location bar' (where you'd enter a web-site's URL) enter: " brain injury " and autism ....exactly as you see the line above, with 'quote-marks' and spaces as shown. Do not add anything else - no leading http:, no www - nothing but the words above. Then go to some of the listed websites. You won't get everything (or anything?) you want, but you *will get* new words, ...new phrases to search on. Just keep doing that -- drilling down into the Internet -- eventually you'll find something useful. You can enter simple plain English questions (any construction, any subject): any information about autism and brain injury? That example casts a much wider net, much less specific even than my first one. So, just successively narrow your questions to zero-in on what you want. - Bill, AS, 79 -- WD " Bill " Loughman - Berkeley, California USA http://home.earthlink.net/~wdloughman/wdl.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey Bill, I had to smile when I read your post. It's not often that I encounter seniors advising the young'uns to look to their search engine for their reference needs.

" Senior " ? Come on CJ; let's be honest. I'm OLD, plain and simple. The " young'uns " ? As shown below, I'll " advise " *anyone*, anywhere, anytime and on any subject - without fear, favor, let or hindrance. Comes with the territory. ...At last! There *are* advantages to curmudgeon-hood. > Best, > ~CJ (who is best buds with Professor Google) Google's OK as long as one remains *always aware* of its built-in search *biases*. ...Which " these days " are more and more egregious, and ever harder to evade. > WD Loughman wrote: > >> Use your computer.
