Asperger Syndrome: A guide for educators and parents, second edition  Brenda Smith Myles and Richard L. Simpson - Pro-Ed. (2003)

Currently Asperger Syndrome is used worldwide to describe individuals with significant social and language peculiarities who simultaneously reveal normal development and functioning in some areas of their lives. Indeed, there has been a dramatic increase over the past several years in the number of children and youth identified as having Asperger Syndrome.

It is clear that parents and professionals alike are struggling to learn more about Asperger Syndrome , especially about effective method for assisting children and youth diagnosed with the disability. Unfortunately, there are few resources available to satisfy the wrong demand for information about Asperger Syndrome.

This need for basic information about Asperger Syndrome is the foundation of this book. We wanted to write a book that would be easily understood by both professionals and lay people; that would address basic issues related to the characteristics of children and youth with the disorder; and that would outline basic methods to facilitate the growth and development of children and youth with asperger syndrome in the home. school, and community. This book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of Aspreger Syndrome, including definitions and characteristics. Chapter 2 focuses on educational assessment and planning for students with Asperger Syndrome. Chapter 3 addresses basic academic support measures, and Chapter 4 focuses on behavior management methods appropriate for children and youth with Asperger Syndrome. Chapter 5 offers information and suggestions for social skills instruction and enhancement. Finally, chapter 6 explores the impact of Asperger Syndrome on families.

Autism in Children and Adults: Etiology, assessment and
intervention
Edited by Johnny L. Matson - Brooks/Cole Publishing (1994)

The book begins with a fist-hand account of the history of the field of autism by Bernie Rimland, who has been directly involved in most of its major developments. the next two chapters provide extensive background from Peter Sturmey and Jay Sevin on the definition and assessment of autism and a detailed description of the etiology of the condition by Bill Locke and his colleagues. Although discussion of training strategies has generally been integrated into chapters on topics such as aggression and self-help skills, an exception was made for facilitated communication. Because this strategy is currently receiving a great deal of attention from some professionals and many parents, a review such as that provided by John Jacobson and colleagues in chapter 4 is essential. Chapter 5 addresses program design through a description of the TEACCH model written by Gary Mesibov, who has worked with Eric Schopler at North Carolina's Division TEACCH , arguably the best statewide system for service delivery to autistic persons. Two critical topics- differential diagnosis and behavioral assessment - have been reviewed in Chapters 6 and 7 by Raymond Romanczyk and Sandra Harris and their colleagues. In Chapter 8, Donald Oswald and his colleagues thoroughly discuss self-injurious behavior, whose prevalence among autistic persons is not matched by extensive literature on the topic.Two chapters on the treatment of aggression are included to reflect the sizable empirical research on that topic:Chapter 9, by Robert Loegel and his colleagues, focuses on remediation through naturalistic language training, a relatively new but increasingly popular approach. In chapter 10, Debra Farrar-Schneider describes behavior modification methods of remediation, which have been used for a longer period of time. Given the trend toward deinstitutionalization of persons developmental disabilities, the life skills curriculum described in chapter 11 by Phillip Belfiore and Charles Mace has both topicality and importance. Marjorie Charlop and Linda Haymes review the speech and language characteristics of autistic persons in chapter 11 and describe behavioral approaches to intervention in this functional area. Since another area in which many autistic persons show deficits is social and interpersonal functioning, chapter 13 presents a review of social skills training of children with autism, by myself and Naomi Swiezy.

Educating Children with Autism
National Research Council (Catherine Lord and James P. McGee, editors)-
National Academy Press (2001)

Autism is a word most of us are familiar with. but do we really know what it means?

Children with autism are challenged by the most essential human behaviors. They have difficulty interacting with other people - frequently finding it hard to make friends or even bond with family members. They can not easily communicate ideas and feelings, have great trouble imagining  what others think or feel, and in some cases spend their lives speechless. Their behavior can seem bizarre.

Education is the primary form of treatment for this mysterious condition. And with the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education act of 1975, the nation accepted responsibility for educating children who face special challenges like autism. As a result, we place important responsibilities on schools, teachers, and children's parents, as well as the other professionals who work with children with autism. While we have since amassed substantial body of research, researchers have not adequately communicated with one another, and their finding have not been integrated into a proven curriculum.

Fragile Success, Ten Autistic Children, Chilhood to Adulthood
Verginia Walker Sperry- Paul H. Brookes Publishering Inc.(2001)

In this uncommon book, you'll get a view of autism in all its variations as former teacher Virginia Walker Sperry traces the lives of her students over 30 years. as you follow the children into adulthood, you'll get first-hand accounts about individuals with this developmental disability as witnessed by their parents, teachers, medical professionals, social workers, and peers. These true case histories provide exceptional insight into the mystery and diversity of autism - how it affects individuals' personal lives, social habits, and work, and how their conditions ( along with others' perceptions and understandings) have changed over the years.

In this second edition, the author revisits her students and updates you on their progress. You'll read their original evaluations and see test data reviewed in adulthood by Fred R. Volkmar, M.D. Plus, a new tenth case study has been added exploring pervasive developmental disorder not-otherwise specified.

Teachers, service providers, families, and anyone who lives or works with individuals with autism will be inspired by these ten extraordinary people who have faced adversity and, for some, achieved a fragile success.

Helping the Child Who Doesn't Fit In 
Stephen Nowicki, Jr., Ph.D & Marshall P. Duke, Ph.D. - Peachtree Publisher (1992)

"We've all known children like this:

• they stand too close and touch us in annoying ways;
• they laugh too loud or at the wrong times;
• they make 'stupid' or embarrassing remarks;
• they don't seem to get the message when given a broad hint or even told outright to behave differently;
• they mistake friendly actions for hostile ones, or vice versa;
• they move too slowly, or too fast, for everyone else;
• their facial expressions don't jibe with what they or others are saying, or
• their appearance is seriously out of step with current fashions. 

Underneath the 'out-of-sync' exterior are intelligent, well meaning children who are baffled by their peers' rejection....[yet] repeatedly fail to make lasting friends.

according to two renowned child psychologists from Emory University in Atlanta, these children are misfits for reasons that are both identifiable and correctable. Dr.Stephen Nowicki Jr. and Dr. Marshall P. Duke say such children have a form of learning disability that prevents them from properly using or understanding nonverbal communication."

Right from the Start: Behavioral intervention for young children with autism   
Sandra L. Harris, Ph.D., & Mary Jane Weiss, Ph.D. - Woodbine House (1998)

Written in an accessible and friendly style,  Right from the Start explains how the teaching method known as intensive behavioral intervention (IBI) can benefit young children with autism and related disorders. this includes all children whose diagnosis falls within the board spectrum of Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD), especially those five and younger.

The guide begins by applied behavioral analysis (ABA), the central component of intensive behavioral Intervention. Readers learn how ABA can be used to teach speech and language, social, motor, and adaptive skills through a system of repetition, reward,a nd goal adjustment. The description of real family going through the process of understanding their young child's diagnosis and choosing an intensive behavioral behavioral intervention program bolster the confidence of other parents in making their own evaluations. And "parent statements" included in each chapter offer important empathy.

The authors also discuss what families should consider before choosing any treatment method for their child with autism, and specially what key elements an FBI program should have. Curriculum, professional roles, parent involvement, inclusion, and the pros and cons of a home-based versus center-based program are all covered. A glossary of terms commonly used in autism research and education helps to demystify what at first seems like an intimidating subject. All in all, this practical and authoritative guide will save parents much time and anguish in their search to help their young child autism.

Social Behavior in Autism    
Edited by Eric Schopler and Gary B. Mesibov - Plenum Press (1986)

Peculiar social problems are at the very core of autism. A variety of theories have been advanced to explain these puzzling social phenomena, from parental rejection to neuropathology. Although researchers and clinicians have been fascinated by the aloofness of autistic youngsters since the syndrome was first identified, only recently have efforts been directed toward understanding and treating these problems on the basis of empirical data and rational inference.

Social Behavior in autism brings together the latest findings on the subject by international authorities on autism. Seventeen chapters detail the most current empirical research and practical information available on pivotal issues: social development, social problems, communication, mainstreaming, and the development of social skills.

This volume will be valuable to those working in educational psychology, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, and personality and social psychology.

Patricia Romanowski Bashe and Barbara L. Kirby - Crown Publishers (2001)

Whether your child has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome or troubling symptoms are just becoming apparent, this book will guide you in the right direction.

As manifests itself in an array of characteristics, including average to high intelligence, obsessive behavior, intense special interests, and difficulty dealing with everyday social situations.

As a parent bf a boy diagnosed with AS in 1994, Barbara Kirby found scant resources and support. She developed the award winning OASIS (Online Asperger syndrome Information and Support) web site in 1995 to help other parents find the information they need. She teamed up with Patricia Romanowski Bashe, now co-owner of OASIS and herself the member of a son with AS, to write The Oasis Guide to Asperger Syndrome, the most complete resource for parents and teachers of children with AS.

Romanowski Bashe and Kirby have gathered the most up-to-date information from leading AS authorities, including Dr. Tony Attwood, who wrote the foreword. They know firsthand the joys and frustration of raising children with AS, and they share their own experiences as well as those of dozens of parents facing the same challenges. You will learn what AS looks like and how it is diagnosed; what interventions, therapists, and medications are available; how to navigate through the school system, including ins and outs of special ed; how parents can raise their unique child, guiding him or her through the social , emotional, and intellectual challenges on the way to adulthood. The authors' surveys of thousands of parents kids with As spotlight and address concerns you doubtless share. This practical, sympathetic guide will help you face the particular challenges of loving and raising a child with AS.

Dr. Bobby Newman has written an extremely interesting book, When Everybody Cares: Case Studies of ABA with People with Autism. The book presents some very practical, real life examples of helping persons with autism using deceptively simple, but at the same time complex, behavioral methods. Each chapter presents one or more stories, written from the heart, not the head, describing the author's work in helping clients overcome challenging behavioral problems....What makes this book different is the depiction of the thoughtful caring and professionalism which undergird effective behavioral treatment. Professor Newman does an excellent job in presenting the human side of behavioral analysis, a work which will prove equally popular with parents and professionals alike.
