Autism All Stars : How we use Autism and Asperger Traits to shine in life
Looking at the positive influences, great talents and unique thought processes of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, this book is a celebration of those who have used their autism to shine in life.
Writers from all over the world at different stages in their careers, and from very different backgrounds, share their experiences of creating a successful life on the autism spectrum. Each explains how it is possible to draw on autistic strengths not just to make your way in the world, overcoming challenges and obstacles, but also to make your life a real success. Education, the world of work, and relationships are the focus of the first part of the book, which then goes on to look at exceptional creativity, and the use of special interests.
The autobiographical stories in this book are full of wisdom and humour, and will be an inspiration for anyone with high-functioning autism or Asperger Syndrome, their family and friends, and the professionals who work alongside them.

Haze (Novel for adolecents)
Acclaimed author of the Asperger Adventures series for children Kathy Hoopmann has turned her hand to a novel for teenagers. Much more than just a book about a boy with Asperger Syndrome, this is her best book yet. Weaving the facts of Seb's Asperger Syndrome into the story, this fast-paced book will be a riveting read for teenagers of all sorts and abilities.
Seb is a loner. Brilliant with numbers and facts, but hopeless with people. Bored at school - he prefers the company of his computers, and his only friend, Guzzle. However, things change for the better. Kristie, a girl in his class, phones him one night. Kristie introduces Seb to Madeline and Jen, and the group become friends. Then a new computer teacher - Miss Adonia - brings a challenge back into schoolwork. So when Seb finds out that he has Asperger's Syndrome, he is not too concerned. Suddenly Guzzle starts to hang out with a group who had bullied Seb throughout the year. Seb reacts badly and ends up suspended from school. Miss Adonia agrees to tutor him so he can pass his exams, but she is not what she seems. Before long, Seb is caught up in a web of computer fraud and lies.
Things come to a head when Madeline is mistreated by her mother and Seb turns to Madeline's mysterious cyber friend for help.

Learn to have FUN with your SENSES
This book represents an introduction to the human senses for kids. It might be your child’s first "read about your own problems" guide. It explains what can go wrong when the brain inappropriately magnifies the messages sense organs send to it. It is best suited to late primary to early-mid high school students.
Making inappropriate responses to sensory input from various senses is commonly referred to as sensory processing disorder, or SPD. It is also a common symptom of Autism and Aspergers. The child avoids, resists, or becomes emotionally upset about experiencing sensory awareness, to a level that significantly interferes with a child’s ability to perform the necessary major functions of daily living.
This book is a therapy guide for any child with sensory issues.
This book could be used independently, by the child, or with the help and support of a parent or therapist. The book is divided under chapters, each dealing with a different sense. Each section includes quizzes that help the child identify their sensory sensitivity. The book then provides lots of helpful ideas and tips for children to help them manage their sensory issues. How to plan ahead, avoid surprise and take charge.
We really do highly recommend this book! A wonderful resource for parents and children alike.

Managing Family Meltdown
Challenging behaviour, violent outbursts and meltdowns can put a strain on the entire family of a child on the autism spectrum. This book offers practical, long-term and effective strategies to help resolve common challenging behaviours using a low arousal approach - a non-aversive approach based on avoiding confrontation and reducing stress and anxiety.
Managing Family Meltdown provides explanations for challenging behaviours, and offers a wealth of guidance on how families can manage different types of challenging behaviour, such as physical aggression and self-injury. The authors explore the difference between managing and changing behaviour; how our own behaviour can influence the situation; and show how by reducing stress and anxiety children are better able to process information becoming less likely to react in challenging ways. The pros and cons of medication and ways to look after your own health are also discussed.
This hands-on, practical book is appropriate for children who are non-verbal, as well as those with higher functioning autism and will be indispensable for families, carers and anyone involved with children on the autism spectrum.
'...books such as this are long overdue in the marketplace. It is my hope that many family members will not only read this material but hopefully support others in the process... If this book empowers only a handful of families to manage these situations more positively then it will have achieved a great deal'
- From the Foreword by Andrew McDonnell, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Director of Studio III Training Systems

It is not just a beautiful HARDBACK cookbook, but also includes :
- A guide to reading labels
- Why raw?
- Food substitutions
With a husband who has developed a gluten intolerance I can tell you almost everything has secret amounts of gluten in it. Did you know that there is only one brand of tinned tomatoes that does not have
added gluten! That one really surprised me in the supermarket last week. Thus I really appreciate the added sections of this book. In addition recipes all include full page photos and are all very simple and easy to follow.

Special Diets for Special Kids : Volume 1 and 2 combined. Plus CDROm with printable recipes
This revised and expanded edition brings together two top selling books and includes the latest research, revised recipes, and color photos throughout!
The first part of the book describes dietary intervention in detail, from both a scientific and a personal approach (the author's son has autism and has been on a GFCF diet for many years). In a nutshell, certain enzymes are required to break down gluten and casein. If those enzymes don’t function well, or are not present at sufficient levels, serious neurological problems can result. Studies have shown that children with autism have a marked deficiency of these enzymes, which may explain why GFCF diets have yielded positive results for many children.
Dr. Lewis explains The Biology behind Dietary Interventions; Leaky Gut; Allergies, Sensitivities, and Intolerances; Antibiotics and Probiotics; Vitamins and Mineralsand much more
The second part of the book is an easy-to-follow cookbook. This section contains nearly 200 recipes, including Banana-Nut Pancakes; Blueberry Muffins; Tortillas/Wraps; Chicken Nuggets; Shepherd’s Pie; Mock Mac and Cheese; Chili; Cakes and Cookies and many, many more!
Best of all, this book comes with a FREE CD of printable recipes, so you can easily print out recipes as you use them and keep the book away from counter spills and drips!

What Did You Say? What Do You Mean?
Expressions that don't literally mean what they say can be confusing for many children, but can be fun when they become familiar. Metaphors are particularly challenging for children with Asperger Syndrome (AS), because they tend to be literal thinkers. These cards can enable children to enjoy metaphorical language. Using metaphors can also help children with be more flexible and creative in the way they understand & use language.
These cards present 60 common sayings in a fun, illustrated format, encouraging children to understand and play with metaphorical language. The cards are divided into two types: What Did You Say? cards (red)
feature the metaphor and a fun illustration of its literal meaning. Corresponding What Do You Mean? Cards (purple) show the actual meaning.
The accompanying booklet contains information and ideas for games and activities. Enjoyable and educational, these cards are great for teachers or parents to use in groups or in one-to-one sessions.

Apps for Autism
Autism? There's an app for that!
Actually, there are more than 200 apps for autism, and this book will guide you through them so you can confidently utilize todays technology to maximize your child or student’s success!
Speech Language Pathologist Lois Jean Brady wrote this book in order to educate parents, teachers, and other professionals about the breakthrough method she calls "iTherapy" which is the use of Apple products (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and various apps (computer applications) in meeting students' individual educational goals.
Lois believes that all persons on the spectrum can learn how to use technology in a way that is relevant to them. She shares important tips on how to use apps responsibly and effectively by maintaining a child-centered, team approach to teaching and learning, taking into account the individual's interests, strengths/challenges, vision, motor planning, attention, sensory processing, memory, cognitive ability, environment, and access to tools. Lois also coaches adults on how they can use prompting and reinforcement techniques to help establish and generalize skills learned, until students are able to consistently demonstrate the skills in various environments (home, school, etc.).
For those who are new to the wonderful world of apps, worry not! Lois provides helpful sections on how to get started, including: Choosing an iDevice, Basic iDevice Operations, Opening an Account, How to Download an App from iTunes, and more!
