Autism Awareness Contest

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, Patsie, rollingfur, dee, and I are hosting a Webkinz Contest centered around communicating and becoming aware of facts related to Autism Spectrum Disorders.

This is a place to share if you know someone on the spectrum, autism spectrum disorder facts, and your experiences with Autism while having a chance to win Webkinz prizes for your comments! All prizes associated with this contest will be blue in honor of Autism Awareness.  If you create a Blue Room in honor of Autism Awareness, comment with a link to a picture of your room for a chance to win a special prize!  Prizes include exclusive, rare, pet specific, adventure park, clothing, SPREE, trading card, holiday, & retired items! You MUST include your WWID with your name on your comments under this post AND add WWID Kinzheads in Webkinz World before the contest ends to receive your prize!

A shocking 1 in 88 children have an Autism Spectrum Disorder!  According to the CDC, this is a ten-fold increase in prevalence in 40 years.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.
Contest ends at Midnight Sunday!

    I have to say I VERY disappointing in ganz for not making a special pet for Autism Awareness. How hard would it be to Make a Puzzle Puppy? Puzzle Python?? Or a special Blue pet?? Heck the have the Blue Fliger(tiger). Why not give a little to Autism research???? They give to other causes. I guess by some miracle no one at Ganz who matters has any tyoe of autism YET.

    i agree that ganz should do something related to autism awareness from a BROAD perspective – i contacted them a couple of years ago suggesting that with some very detailed ideas that they could run with that would not really “cost” them anything further than development – they could have gone with a virtual only approach and still gained a lot of attention for autism . . .

    i have referred them to the book that we have posted here last year & mentioned a few times – The Colors of Autism by Brianne Taylor – I’ve sent them the intro to the book that speaks directly about Webkinz . . .

    Patsie, I would call ganz and tell them you didn’t get your gift; and explain the other issues you’re having. My experience when calling to report a problem has been very helpful. Ganz ‘wants’ us to be happy; we keep them in business.

  55. 55 Patsie said,

    April 14, 2012 @ 6:14 pm

    I don’t have any idea; sorry. 🙁 It’s been my experience that when you have a problem the best solution is to call. The ganz people have all been SUPER nice and helpful; even if they temporarily can’t solve your problem. 🙄 I have an estore item I purchased that can’t be shifted from the dock to a room. The fellow trying to help me was wonderful; even tho’ he couldn’t resolve my issue at this time. I’m still waiting. BUT, my over all impression, the multiple times I’ve called with problems, is that they really do care and want us to by happy.

    I don’t have your email. Every time I saw the Ice Capades, I wanted to be a skater when I grew up. LOL They were sooooo beautiful and graceful and the costumes were unbelievable!!

    I could barely keep my ankles straight on ice. 🙄 did a bit better on roller skates when our girls were young and into roller rink skating. Tho’ one of the attendants said I was skating as tho’ I were skiing. HAHA! I skied reasonably well til I fractured my pelvis on a patch of ice. Guess I’m a dabbler; capable of many things, excelling at none. 😐

    So this has been driving me insane, and maybe you all can help. On the front page of the Kinzville Times, when you log into Webkinz World, they show a picture of the Creative Studio Theme. But what is that thing in the corner? It has a stool and a curtain and a counter top and it isn’t in the W-Shop (that I know of) or the E-store. And I cannot figure out what it is. Any ideas?

    Hello Patsie!

    I don’t believe we’ve met either. I read this blog a lot, but just recently started posting. Nice to meet you.

    Also, my boyfriend thinks the thing in the corner of the Creative Studio room picture on the front page of Webkinz World might be a darkroom? Any thoughts from anyone else.

    What is Asperger syndrome?

    Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder that is characterized by:

    -> limited interests or an unusual preoccupation with a particular subject to the exclusion of other activities
    -> repetitive routines or rituals
    -> peculiarities in speech and language, such as speaking in an overly formal manner or in a monotone, or taking figures of speech literally
    -> socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior and the inability to interact successfully with peers
    -> problems with non-verbal communication, including the restricted use of gestures, limited or inappropriate facial expressions, or a peculiar, stiff gaze
    clumsy and uncoordinated motor movements

    AS is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurological conditions characterized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communication skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior. Other ASDs include: classic autism, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually referred to as PDD-NOS).

    Parents usually sense there is something unusual about a child with AS by the time of his or her third birthday, and some children may exhibit symptoms as early as infancy. Unlike children with autism, children with AS retain their early language skills. Motor development delays – crawling or walking late, clumsiness – are sometimes the first indicator of the disorder.

    The incidence of AS is not well established, but experts in population studies conservatively estimate that two to six out of every 1,000 children have the disorder.

    Good morning!
    Too many schools “lump” the kids on the spectrum all together. I was shocked when I was talking to a teacher at a local school who teaches special ed 1st grade & she told me that they have a little boy who speaks and reads at an eight grade level with some repetitive behavior & quirks in with kids who are completely non verbal & head bang etc. He should be with the gen. pop. but because he was diagnosed on the spectrum they put him in there. She’s the only one fighting for him—not even his parents………makes me sad and angry! Also some kids have trouble playing with other kids NOT because they’re anti social but because they’re just different. Obviously a child who is that intelligent & reading at that level is going to have some different things to talk about than other kids his age.

    The world is very cruel to the “Different”. If you are different enough to be Handicapped then it’s PC to be “nice” to them but not really include them. Maybe invite them once in a while so they can feel good about themselves for including (in a hushed voice “that poor little girl/boy, I just had to invite him her to) but that’s even rare. If you’re just different watch out.

    I remember one year when Boo’s tics & stuff was showing up and he had this ‘friend’ they played together every recess but after school the mom would not invite him to the park(I was working so I couldn’t take him after school) & when the kid invited him to his birthday party. He had to come back & tell Boo that his MOM cut the number of kids allowed so he was uninvited………..GRRRRRRRR……….. Then the bot who used to be his best friend started chiming in with a few kids that made fun of him…….broke Boo’s heart. I remember one day coming to pick him up & boo & ben had gotten in a fight some words & pushing Boo was so hurt & angry.When I looked at Ben he was obviously sad. Boo said he was never my friend & he never liked me. I told him that Ben did like him and like playing with him(they were bf for a year) he just was not strong enough to stand up to other kids or his mom.

    I also wanted to say that to say that kids with mild autism/ Aspergers/adhd or other conditions CAN’T control outbursts is doing a HUGE disservice to their family members, schools, & MOST of all to the person with the condition themselves. It may be harder for them but they CAN & will be able to almost ALL of the time if they are told they can & taught how to.

    In Kindergarten there was a child though that it didn’t seem fair to him or the other children – his behavior was so disruptive – he wasn’t going to make friends because he was so distracting it really hurt all academically and him socially – I don’t know how much was on the main classroom teacher though

    Moms-
    I’ve seen both– I’ve seen kids who are so impaired that they should not be in a regular classroom but are AND kids that are mild that are separated. I know also that there are great teachers who make a difference for the better & ones that only make things worse. More often than not it’s the teachers that direct the direction & attitude of the class/classroom.

    Sadly it depends on the school/district/teachers prejudices & politics where the kids end up not on the individual child’s abilities.

    Also-with my son the kindergarten teacher acted like HE was the problem but when I got an “impartial” observer from the school district involved she stated that although Boo had his differences the teacher singled him out & gave him more sever & different punishment than the other students. He did have some melt downs but she was causing them. If he’d start to get upset she would freak out. When he had a problem she would scream etc. In other words she was a witch that that picked on my son. She had a cow when he drew a picture of himself with a beard like that meant he was mental when asked he said he might want a beard someday cuz his dad had stubble sometimes. She was a nut burger

    What is autistic disorder?
    Autistic disorder is a neurological and developmental disorder that usually appears during the first three years of life. A child with autism appears to live in their own world, showing little interest in others and a lack of social awareness. The focus of an autistic child is a consistent routine and includes an interest in repeating odd and peculiar behaviors. Autistic children often have problems in communication, avoid eye contact and show limited attachment to others.

    What is Disintegrative Disorder?

    Childhood disintegrative disorder, also known as Heller’s syndrome, is a condition in which children develop normally until ages 2 to 4, but then demonstrate a severe loss of social, communication and other skills.

    Childhood disintegrative disorder is very much like autism. Both are among the group of disorders known as pervasive developmental disorders, or autism spectrum disorders. And both involve normal development followed by significant loss of language, social, play and motor skills. However, childhood disintegrative disorder typically occurs later than autism and involves a more dramatic loss of skills. In addition, childhood disintegrative disorder is far less common than autism.

    Treatment for childhood disintegrative disorder involves a combination of medications, behavior therapy and other approaches.

    no to the paint patsie

    I will just relook. I like the sconce (?) on the one I saw today. I know you can swap them out, so I will now look for lights I like and see if dh can stick them on a ceiling fan. He grumbled when I mentioned it so…I guess some have different size bulbs and they are all not interchangeable.

    April 15, 2012 @ 8:16 pm

    it is kind of disheartening as I am not looking for anthing fancy…They had some gorgeous modern ones, but they do not fit my space

    no moms, white and antique brass! Harbor breeze too! I think that is a lowes brand??

    We try to do stuff at Lowes as they give a military discount

    Patsie
    one is for a front room that now opens into the kitchen/dining (which is another fan) and one for our family room/living room that opens off the kitchen

    I soooooooooooo need someone who does this stuff well……

    i just am not good at all this house stuff. I can cook and pick paint colors and give orders! We have never lived anywhere a long time with dh being military, so I want to make good choices here. Paint is easy to change…flooring and tile …..not so much

    and we have even to open the countertop situation here at gymbos!

    I am very lucky that my dh does all the work. Other than removing a wall, he has done everything. We work fairly well as a team. meaning I can draw something I like and he can build it….
    he does lovely woodwork

    dee – he can’t forge fans though . . .

    my mother had one with these ugly white pulls and a chandelier with these ugly white bulb thingys which both spray painted a nice gray very easily . . .

    i like the “hammered” paint texture too . . .

    yes miss patsie, I am a german major

    I just had to pick a minor and I picked anthropology as I like learning about cultures…altho my class this semester is difficult for me as i am not familiar with all the concepts and little things like writing styles….

  194. 194 Patsie said,

    April 15, 2012 @ 8:32 pm

    That sounds awesome dee.

  195. 195 Patsie said,

    What will you do with your German major?

  196. 196 dee said,

    April 15, 2012 @ 8:35 pm

    I had linguistic anthropology last semester and really liked it…The class I have now is more on how to write research reports and big presentations. I am Learning that anthropologists are very keen on their presentations.

    The professor says she appreciates my new eye on things, but I think my classmates think I am an idiot. I ask a lot of questions…I feel bad sometimes, but they just sit there….if they show to class….

    and as usual I am older than the professor

    I just want to graduate from college patsie. i am the only person in my family to even graduate high school. I would love to teach, but the requirements for my state are strict…If I had the money I would get my masters and teach that way. I could be a tour guide or help refugees get settled or mentor a high schools foreign language department.
    thankfully I do not have to worry about being employed at this point. I also would l like to do translation of documents as I loved that german class and even got an A
