 Living
Along the Autism Spectrum - What Does It Mean to Have Autism or
Asperger Syndrome? by Daniel Gottlieb, Ph.D., Robert Naseef,
Ph.D. and Stephen Shore, Ed.D.
Purchasing
Information
In this frank discussion of the human costs and benefits of autism
spectrum disorders, we get the perspectives of an individual on
the spectrum (Shore), who is also a professional in the field of
ASD, and that of a psychologist working primarily with families
of children with disabilities and the father of a son who has autism
(Naseef). The discussion is expertly moderated by a psychologist
and speaker and writer on disabilities, who, while not on the spectrum
himself, has grandson who has an autism spectrum disorder (Gottlieb).
Insightful and at times
very moving, the discussion covers more than symptoms, trying to
get at what autism means in human terms. Major topics: empathy/compassion,
sensory issues, social skills, anxiety, "differentness,"
adult issues, including employment, siblings, family grief and anguish,
as well as cultural implications of ASD.
In addition to individual
viewing, the DVD is ideal for discussion in parent groups, teacher
training, professional development, and general public awareness.

 Ask
and Tell: Self-Advocacy and Disclosure for People on the Autism Spectrum,
edited by Stephen M. Shore; foreword by Temple Grandin Purchasing
Information
Ask and Tell is unique by being the first book to speak
to the twin issues of self-advocacy and disclosure for people with
autism and by consisting exclusively – including the cover art
and the preface by Temple Grandin – of contributions by those
on the autism spectrum for persons on the spectrum.
Successful self-advocacy involves a degree of disclosure
about oneself that often carries some degree of risk, in an effort
to reach a goal of better mutual understanding. The book offers countless
practical ideas and advice adjusted for different personalities and
personal preferences, and always backed by the real-life experiences
of the authors. In addition to individuals on the spectrum, the book
is a must for parents, teachers, counselors, and representatives from
the numerous agencies that work with people on the autism spectrum
and other conditions
Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with
Autism and Asperger Syndrome, 2ndEd. by Stephen M. Shore,
foreword by Temple Grandin Purchasing
Information

foreword by Dr. Temple Grandin, includes an important new chapter

spectrum-related issues, including testifying on the state of
autism-related issues to the chair of Governmental Reform, speaking
at conferences, both in the United States and internationally,
and advocating for services for individuals on the spectrum.
What Parents and Professionals Are Saying
"A surprisingly warm journey into the psyche
of an 'Aspie.' The reader is led on a wonderful excursion showing
how personal courage and persistence mixed with an encouraging
and unyielding family has allowed Stephen Shore to successfully
deal with significant brain differences that are called Asperger
Syndrome. His openness is refreshing and his use of music to
contact and relate to himself and other 'Aspies' is remarkable.
This is an invaluable guide and statement of hope for 'Aspies'
and people who love them."
John Ratey, M.D., associate clinical professor of psychiatry,
Harvard Medical School
