Is This Autism? 1st Edition
"Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits. The authors take the reader step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Readers will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking.

Asperger's, Autism & You: Is the epidemic real and are vaccines the cause?
This book demystifies and rectifies the problems inherent in autism by examining in clear terms the whole panorama of the subject, not just individual bits, beginning with its history and including practical advice at every level, yet without being an overblown medical-type textbook. It unravels and demystifies medical, psychiatric and psychological terminology to reveal what autism really is and what it means to be autistic in day-to-day life and then analyze its strengths and weaknesses in order to offer practical and constructive advice on dealing with it directly on its own terms, as it affects each individual and family.This book is a comprehensive look at the subject, drawn from a number of avenues of thought and knowledge, including anecdotal ones, as well as a series of ideas, research and commentary gained from numerous sources around the world.
On the Spectrum: Ian Hale's Family Guide to Autism and Beyond
"Professor Hale has produced a ground-breaking and timely book which I recommend. It fills a vital gap in current knowledge, and it challenges us to use the information sensitively and intelligently in researching, understanding, and applying it for ourselves. It will also be of general interest because it includes science-based advice about genetics, allergies, general health, and some of the ways humans can have âdifferently wiredâ brains. It is illuminating and written from a new sympathetic and humane perspective. Ian writes as an author and expert medical scientist who is on the spectrum himself and is therefore in an ideal position to contribute insights into this subject. For example, the book gives an informative overview of current scientific research as well as well as explaining the experience from his own unique insider point of view. He explains for example that, âAutism is for life, including senior care, a fact seldom considered by social agencies.... "
Atypical: Life with Asperger's in 20 1/3 Chapters
"The poignant, funny, and truly unique observations of a young writer diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. ""Please be forewarned that you are about to read the observations and life lessons of someone who entertains himself by farting in public and conversing in gibberish with his cats."" Thus begins the charming, insightful, and memorable story of Jesse Saperstein. Diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism, Jesse has struggled since childhood with many of the hallmark challenges of his condition-from social awkwardness and self-doubt to extreme difficulty with change and managing his emotions. He has also worked hard to understand and make the most of his AS- developing his keen curiosity and sense of humor, closely observing the world around him, and most of all, helping others with AS to better cope and even thrive. Told with endearing and unflinching honesty, Jesse brings his unique perspective to the circumstances of his life and his condition."
