  • Raising I.Q. in Toddlers With Autism - Well Blog - NYTimes.com on 2009-12-23
    • A new intensive program for very young children with autism has produced impressive results, leading to substantial gains in I.Q. and in listening skills after two years of therapy.
    • The program, called the Early Start Denver Model, or E.S.D.M., was part of a two-year study of 48 children as young as 18 months old. Half the children received the intensive therapy, while the rest received a community-based autism intervention, according to a report in the journal Pediatrics.
  • Kim Peek, the original Rain Man, dies - Times Online on 2009-12-22

    • Kim Peek, the autistic savant who inspired the Oscar-winning film Rain Man,
      has died, aged 58.



      Mr Peek's father Fran said that his son had suffered a major heart attack on
      Saturday and was pronounced dead at a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, the
      town where he had spent his life.



      Mr Peek was probably the world's most famous savant. Described as a
      confounding mixture of disability and genius, his astonishing ability to
      retain knowledge inspired the writer Barry Morrow to write Rain Man,
      the 1988 movie starring Dustin Hoffman that won four Academy Awards.
