Our Hope for the New Year...

Dear Hcis,

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, the Autism Society network created a massive impact in 2019, and we are eager to support even more individuals and families affected by autism in the year ahead.

2020 brings a new year, and a new decade, in which I hope to see meaningful employment and neuro-diverse workplaces become the norm; more supportive housing communities for people with autism to gain independence; and a society in which every member is accepted, treated with dignity and respect to live a fulfilling life.

The new year provides new beginnings and renewed hope, as we continue to work for a better future, and a more inclusive, supported society for autistic individuals across the lifespan.

With your help, we can continue to reach more people and families affected by autism every day. I thank you for your consideration in continuing to support the Autism Society in our quest for equality.

 

Happy New Year,

Joseph Joyce

Chairman of the Board of Directors for Autism Society of America

Monday, December 30, 2019 Advanced Techniques Refine Diagnosis of Autoinflammatory Diseases, Identify Three New Conditions In people with autoinflammatory diseases, the innate immune system attacks the body, causing fevers, rashes and organ damage that can prove disabling and even fatal to children and adults. While a variety of genetic abnormalities can cause these rare inherited disorders, similar symptoms make precise diagnosis and treatment a challenge. In a report published online ahead of print today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, NIH researchers used advanced techniques in genetics and immunology to refine the diagnosis in patients with autoinflammatory diseases. In doing so, they identified three new conditions with distinct clinical and immunological features; two of these diseases are caused by mutations in genes that were not previously associated with autoinflammatory diseases.

Multiple Sclerosis and Complementary Health Approaches

A variety of complementary health approaches have been studied to see if they can help people manage multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms.

Click here to view in browser. Complementary Health Approaches for Multiple Sclerosis A variety of complementary health approaches have been studied to see if they can help people manage multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms. Certain substances from cannabis (marijuana) may help to reduce spasticity or pain in people with MS, but no cannabis-derived medications have been approved for this purpose in the United States. It's unknown whether smoking marijuana is helpful for MS; there isn't enough research to show whether its potential benefits outweigh its risks. Fish oil and ginkgo supplements have been studied for MS but have not been shown to be helpful. Low blood levels of vitamin D may be a risk factor for long-term disease activity and progression. However, more studies need to be done to determine whether taking vitamin D supplements is beneficial. Practicing yoga may help with fatigue and mood in people with MS, but yoga hasn't been shown to improve mobility or thinking ability.   Find out more
