Mono-Processing in Autism: Using one channel at a time
Autistic children seem to develop the ability to control their awareness of incoming sensory stimuli in order to survive in the world bombarding them with extraneous information. These compensatory or defensive strategies are reflected in acquired perceptual styles. The article describes one of these acquired strategies - mono-processing.

Peripheral Perception in Autism: What is more important - eye contact or understanding?
We often want autistic children to make eye contact with us while we are talking to them ('Look at me!')We often do not understand that avoidance of direct perception is their attempt to understand what we are talking about. The article describes peripheral perception as one of compensatory strategies autistic people acquired in order to understand what is going on around them.

What Exactly Is Sensory Integration Dysfunction?
The theory of sensory integration dysfunction was formulated by A. J. Ayres to describe a variety of neurological disorders. At present it still remains a theory and has no much recognition from the fields outside occupational therapy. There is still much scepticism and criticism of SID. The article tries to answer the 'why is it so' question.

SEC sets up its own investment hoax on the Web, complete with leptins
Since the 11 September 2001 attacks, the U.S. has experienced an upsurge in fast-buck artists trying to cash in on the public’s hypersensitivity to terror-related fears, along with an upsurge in patriotism. Many of the scams have involved investments, and in late January the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) itself devised a phony investment opportunity to show how easy it is to use the Web for fraud.
