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.  It's difficult to diagnose, difficult to treat, and difficult to understand.

The Central Missouri Ag Club is happy to announce the winners of their annual photo contest. This year’s theme was “This is MY Agriculture.”  Winners received $100 for first place, $75 for second and $50 for third place in both the youth and adult division.

The Noonday Optimist Club held their Haunted Hayride last weekend.  I went down there with my boyfriend and his two kids on Saturday (Oct. 26) at the Missouri State Fairgrounds, west of the Grandstand.   It was a little nippy out there, but that certainly didn't stop the throng of crowds!

The Sedalia Food Fair is coming up on Tuesday  evening (Oct. 22). This is one of those things that I think a lot of us in Sedalia really look forward to every year.
