Smart kids with autism spectrum disorders need specific interventions to find success in school and beyond. Featuring a foreword by Temple Grandin, School Success for Kids With High-Functioning Autism shares practical advice for implementing strategies proven to be effective in school for dealing with the“Big 10” obstacles, including social interactions, inflexibility, behavior issues, attention and organization, homework, and more. Based on the new criteria in the DSM-5, School Success for Kids With High-Functioning Autism also describes how autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social communication disorders (SCD) will now identify the students formerly identified as having Asperger's syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, high-functioning autism, or PDD-NOS. Relying on the latest research, and presenting it in easy-to-understand and practical language, the authors identify how the key components of ASD and SCD will appear to parents and professionals and what steps should be taken once these signs are evident. This book is sure to help any parent or teacher wanting to see their smart kids with autism succeed!

Written for parents and professionals, Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments offers practical solutions to the day-to-day challenges facing individuals with Asperger Syndrome and their families. The book discusses clearly and concisely how to deal with tantrums, meltdowns and difficult behaviour from children and young people with Asperger Syndrome, looking in particular at the role of antecedent behaviours, which signal the beginning of a meltdown, as identified through functional assessment. Topics covered include: * the characteristics of Asperger Syndrome and their impact on behaviour * stages of the meltdown cycle * the role of antecedent behaviours * functional assessment * strategies promoting social skills development, including self-awareness, self-calming and self-management * solutions for parents, including organization and support, and daily routines. The book's main focus is on the various stages of the meltdown cycle and functional analysis as a means of determining why behaviours occur. This is followed by a set of practical strategies that promote social skills development, including self-awareness, self-calming and self-management. The book concludes with a chapter written specifically for parents, which offers concrete and easy-to-follow steps for developing a home plan that addresses agreement on the causes of problem behaviours, family organization and support, the LASTING word and designing a daily routine. Accompanying the clear and user-friendly writing style are a number of helpful reporting forms and other instruments that may be used by schools and parents as they work to reduce or eliminate such behaviour in children and young people with Asperger Syndrome.

When his son, Matthew, was finally diagnosed with autism at 12 years old, Mike Stanton thought the diagnosis marked the end of their troubles. In fact, despite the increase in reported levels of autism, appropriate support and clear information were hard to find. Mike had to teach himself and then attempt to pass on his knowledge and understanding to those who worked with his son. But because Matthew has high functioning autism his obvious abilities helped to disguise his more fundamental autistic spectrum disorder. As a consequence, Mike found that his efforts were not always appreciated. Like many parents, who ought to be a valuable source of information and help to busy professionals, he was sometimes made to feel as though it was him and not his son's autism that was the problem. So he wrote this accessible, informative book which provides a clear explanation of the autistic spectrum and dissects and dispels some of the myths about autistic behaviour and the various types of autism. Intended for the professionals who work with autistic people and their families and friends, Learning to Live with High Functioning Autism draws on the Stanton family's experience, and compares it with the experiences of others, to offer an honest portrayal of what living with autism is actually like for all of those involved. It offers an insight into the world of autistic children and the problems that they and their families face. It provides support and encouragement for families of children with autism, as well as being an invaluable source of information and advice for professionals working with autistic children and their families. Most important of all, it argues convincingly that learning to live with autism is a two-way process. We have to reject all models of intervention based upon coercion and compliance in order to work in partnership with young people with autism.

This book evaluates how autism is experienced and addressed in four areas critical to the developmental phase of adulthood: self-awareness, individuality, comprehensive support systems, and the dissemination of information and expanded education. The editors present comprehensive coverage of new developments in the field of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly with regards to the updating of diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5 and an increased level of interest in research on adults with ASD. Contributors also make recommendations regarding services that should be provided to people with ASD based on recognition of their needs, the frequent lack of accessibility to relevant services, and an understanding of how a person's living situation both influences and is influenced by the way they conduct their lives. Among the topics discussed: The distinctive stage of Emerging Adulthood in individuals with ASD Late diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder Sexuality and romantic relationships among people with ASD Parents, siblings, and communities of individuals with ASD Cultural-demographic influences on life choices among people with ASD Adult women on the high-functioning autism spectrum The experience of academia and employment for people with ASD Autism in Adulthood is a unique resource for professionals, clinicians, researchers and caregivers that emphasizes both theoretical and practical information regarding ASD in the critical adult stage of life.

T.B. describes what it is like to be forgotten by autism services because he is too high functioning. As high functioning as he is, he still has great difficulty in forming social relationships and keeping employment. He shares about how his staff is learning to help him day by day to be successful in employment and relationships. He is able to teach his staff his weaknesses and they work on them. T.B, shares some tips and ideas for how you can help someone with high functioning autism or asperger syndrome like he has. If you are able to find a dedicated staff that is in it for the passion of helping adults that are high functioning can train their staff how to help them and teach them what they need to work on. It is a tragedy in the making that people who are high functioning are being ignored by the system and insurance companies. Ignoring the problem is only going to make it bigger and cost our country far more than it would have if we would have been providing great autism services for the higher functioning population. T.B. discusses many similarities and difference between high functioning asperger syndrome and low functioning autism in this book. Someone who appears to be high functioning might not be any higher functioning than a lower functioning non-verbal person with autism. Just because they are verbal does not mean they know how to communicate. In fact, it is said that communication is ninety-three percent non-verbal and only seven percent verbal. You could imagine how confused someone with high functioning asperger syndrome would be by not being able to read any body language or non-verbal communication. This book is sure to open your eyes to an end of the spectrum that is so often forgotten. This book also includes some fiction in parts of the story. Here is an excerpt from the book. "But things still kept bothering me and I still had a very hard time making and keeping friends. I was working really hard at learning social skills and reading a lot of books. I am very good at researching and reading about things that I would like to know more about. So I try very hard to stay actively involved in the current literature as to what is out there. Then all of a sudden when I was about 27 it hit me. I started hearing terrible voices that were saying such negative things about myself. They told me I needed to die and that I should self-harm as a punishment for being autistic. The voices did not like me and they were always mean and evil voices. Then I started seeing things and my illness was progressing. I saw people following me and chasing after me. I became frightened to even leave my home or go anywhere because I was afraid that someone was following me or chasing after me."
