Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Shore, Stephen This honest, courageous book, written by a person with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome, offers so much more than the traditional autobiography. Drawing on personal and professional experience, Stephen Shore, who is currently completing his doctoral degree in special education at Boston University, combines three voices to create a touching and, at the same time, highly informative book. The autobiographical voice tells the story of Stephen's life, including his parents' frustrations with the educational and medical communities, his adolescence and now adult married life. The "time shifter" fills in background information about his life that is otherwise out of the chronological order of the events being related; finally the researcher's voice puts Stephen's personal life within the context of the research literature on autism and Asperger Syndrome. By using this triple lens, the book offers insights for parents, professionals as well as individuals who have Asperger Syndrome. Retail Price: RM 81.30 Format: Book

Comic Strip Conversations

Gray, Carol A comic strip conversation is a conversation between two or more people which incorporates the use of simple drawings. These drawings serve to illustrate an ongoing communication, providing additional support to individuals who struggle to comprehend the quick exchange of information which occurs in a conversation. Experience with Comic Strip Conversations indicates they may be an effective tool for parents and professionals working with students with autism and other developmental disabilitites. Comic Strip Conversations are based on the belief that visualization and visual supports, found useful in structuring the learning of students with autism, may also improve their understanding and comprehension of conversation. In addition, the use of a basic set of symbols are used in Comic Strip Conversations to illustrate social skills which are abstract and difficult for students with autism to understand. Also available in French! Retail Price: RM 36.90 Format: Book

Emergence: Labeled Autistic

Grandin, Dr. Temple I stood at one of the windows and watched the moon rise up behind the mountain range to meet the stars. A feeling of relief flooded me. For the first time in months I felt safe in the present and hope in the future. A feeling of love and joy enveloped me. I'd found it! The door to my Heaven. Thoughts that had blown through my mind randomly now seemed significant. I'd found it! A visual symbol. All I had to do was walk through the door. That night I wrote in my diary: "When I look out the windows of the Crow's Nest, I feel something more.... I must conquer my fears and not let them block my way." - excerpt from Emergence: Labeled Autistic. "A testament to the courage of a woman who has overcome a serious disability to lead a normal life. I hope all teachers and parents of autistic people will read and understand this book." -William Christopher,actor, Father Mulcahy in TV's M*A*S*H and father of an autistic child.

Exploring Feelings: Anger

Attwood, Dr. Tony The Exploring Feelings program is designed to explore the mental world from a scientific perspective. There are two Exploring Feelings programs, one is designed to explore and manage anxiety, the other to explore and manage anger. The original program was designed for small groups of two to five children between the ages of 9 and 12 years, with two adults conducting the program. However, the Exploring Feelings program can easily be modified so that it can be used with just one child. The activities can also be modified to be age appropriate for an adolescent or adult. The program was designed as a treatment for an anxiety disorder or anger management problem in children with Asperger's syndrome but the program can be equally applied to children with High Functioning Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS). The author also designed the program so that it does not have to be implemented by a qualified psychologist. A teacher, speech pathologist, occupational therapist or parent could implement the program without having training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Retail Price: RM 73.90 Format: Book

Freaks, Geeks, & Asperger Syndrome

Jackson, Luke The author is an adolescent with Asperger's, which gives him the special insight about the subject, but he adds to this a sense of humor and a lilting writing style which makes the book compelling and particularly relevant for AS teens. He examines topics such as fixations and fascinations, diets, sleep, problems with socializing at school, dating, homework, dealing with bullies, moral dilemmas, and, even, an explanation of idioms that are particularly perplexing for those with Asperger's Syndrome (e.g. "feeling under the weather?"; "bark is worse than his bite").

How Do I Feel?

Green, Joan Utilizing the power of visual strategies, beginning readers learn to associate pictures with words. Students move original, velcro-backed drawings to match, identify, label, sequence and create sentences while learning to read! INTERACTIVE READING BOOKS are fun and rewarding for children with and without special needs. Children learn to identify pictures of emotions in this book. Sentences such as, "I feel ________ when I do a good job," allow the children to label their feelings. (There are no "correct" answers.) Open ended questions at the end of the book allow teachers, therapists, parents or children to make up their own sentences. Even if the child is non-verbal or does not speak English, once they can identify the pictures you can read the sentence and the child can give you or point to the picture that labels their emotion. Another fun activity and way to assess a childs emotions is to take the pictures and put them face down. Have the child pick a picture. Ask them to give you an example of what might make them feel that way. (ex. A child picks a card that says, "excited", ask the child to tell you something that would make them feel excited.)
