What are your fave AS or ASD books?
| Wed, 10-05-2005 - 7:31pm |
I just got the OASIS guide from the library and put a bunch of titles mentioned here or titles I saw on Amazon on hold.
So far, I like the OASIS guide a lot. It's a great intro to AS and is a good-everything-in-one-book. It covers school, home, IEPs, meds, intervetions and therapies. It's a really good over-view.
Any others that you guys have found especially helpful?

I try to never read anything about what it's like to be autistic unless it's written by an autistic person - so autobiographies are often my choice. And I often lurk on the Yahoo autistic support group. I've learned far more about autism from those who have it than from those who don't.
That aside I do like the books by Linda A Hodgdon about visual communication strategies.
iv aisha2004,
what is the web address of that yahoo group? Thanks.

Hi Samantha
try this link http://groups.google.com.au/group/alt.support.autism?lnk=srg&hl=en
It goes to the page that is current today, so if you try it in a few days, you may need to update to a more current page.
The site has a lot of off topic stuff since this is the main means for socialising for some members, but it's worth wading through.
I will also warn that many members are very pro-autism and anti-ABA. However, hearing reasons for different ways of thinking is never a bad thing.
