Hi, If you need Romanian books then that will be difficult as there are none as far as I know. The awareness is just starting. You can see my blog to see the situation in Bacau. You will find there some links for resources too.

Question by mars2boys: How closely do autistic children need to be supervised?
We have a 5-year old neighbor who is not potty trained and does not communicate well. She is still in diapers, yet she roams the neighborhood unsupervised…no shoes, no helmet when on her bike. I am considering calling social services, if she is not mentally of the age to be potty trained or communicate like a 5-year old, I wonder if she should be unsupervised outside so much. I don’t have much experience with autistic children, so wondered if this is more of a concern than if it were a child without autism.

Answer by Needs suggestions
It dpends on the type of autisim and the severity of it. There are some types of autism where the child doesnt need any supervision. Although they are somewhat ‘altered’ they are able to live a generaly normal life. However there are also some people who need constant supervision. Alot of younger austic child, and those who are going threw puberty can be ver violent. It depends! You cant make judements.

But 5 year old shouldnt be outside unsupervised either way. Autistic or not. I think you should call social services. Even if they dont take her away they may be able to help the family or possibly find a way for them to afford extra help.

still in diapers Autism:

Question by Medusa: I have never baby sat before. Need help & advice! Please?
My mom told me that our neighbor needs a baby sitter for Saturday and asked if any of my friends would be willing to do it. I said I would do it. My mom told me one of the kids is special needs (the lady is a single parent of 6). I thought, “How bad could this be? It’ll be easy money”.
Yesterday I went over to meet the lady and her kids. She told me how to care for all of her kids. Turns out the special needs child is 18 years old, has autism, and mental retardation. She still wears diapers, drinks from bottles (can’t hold it herself though), and she can’t feed herself. One of the problems is, she hates to eat.
What do I do with her? Can’t I just lay her down, put the bottle in her mouth, and prop it up for her? She should be able to go 8 hours without needing her diaper changed, right? She also drools and puts everything in her mouth. What do I do when she bites? How do I keep her from leaving the house through the dog door? (the mom said that’s an ongoing issue). What do I do if she doesn’t listen? How do I get her to eat if she doesn’t want to, but needs to?
The mom said for me to just do what I think is best. What would you do if you were in this situation? (I will be watching all 6 kids)
I took the job because I feel bad for the mom. I NEVER said the special needs child is immobile. She crawls. She just doesn’t know how to feed herself. Also, she’s small for 18 years old. She’s only 4’0″ tall and weighs 85 pounds.

Answer by June
You SHOULD not babysit for this job. To deal with a special needs PERSON (she is 18, not a child) you need to be qualified.

Please turn down this job for everyone’s sake.
