1st Book
Asperger Syndrome and Your Child by Michael Powers w/Janet Poland (forward by Liane Holliday Willey, author of Pretending To Be Normal)

2nd book
Solutions for Adults with Aspergers Syndrome by Jaunita Lovett

if your child is diagnosed with autism or pdd or pddnos think of learning about Asperger Syndrome as early intervention for YOU. Chances are that some of your childs behavior (either current behavior or future behavior) can better be understood by understanding aspergers syndrome. If you understand aspergers and your child starts to show some traits then these traits wont be coming out of left field for you and you will understand them and be able to work with and utilize these traits rather than fighting against these traits in your efforts to erase them. This can be very harmful to your childs psyche and to your stress level!
Thanks for watching!

  • I find it very interesting how you talk about distinguishing Aspergers type traits in autistic children, because I've always gone at it the other direction: understanding the autistic traits that distinguish individuals with AS from the NT. It had not occurred to me that recognizing AS in people who were able to communicate well allowed people to get a better insight into what is going on in the heads of people with lower functioning forms of autism.

  • In addition to gaining insight into what is going on their heads the parent will also get a better understanding of what elements of their childs behavior are actually their childs personality...a personality that has some asperger traits/behaviors. Hopefully when they understand that these traits/behaviors are their childs personality they will try to modify them but not eliminate them which causes stress, anxiety, and low self esteem in the child.

    Thanks for your comment!

  • thanks for the information. I just bought both books.

  • Thank you so much for all your videos Phil.

    You are simply amazing and give so much hope to us. Thanks a million

  • You are a breath of fresh air...thank you!!!

  • Absolutely, just 520 years ago people KNEW the world was flat.  120 years ago the idea that machines would fly people across the world was pure fantasy. In the expansion of human awareness and quantum growth of technology. New facts replace old facts it creates discomfort when it fails to conform to our "accepted" belief patterns.

  • The one area that you only touched on is that having a different viewpoint or way of thinking can be an advantage. Yes, it can put you at a disadvantage socially, but intellect can compensate for that.

    However, every major breakthrough (science, math, art, music, technology, etc.) is always made by someone who thinks differently. ALWAYS! Even the smartest "mainstream" thinker is rarely capable of anything more than incremental advancement.

    If you don't believe, let history be your guide.

  • Education? Try Corporate America!

  • It was on his 1999 Tirade I believe and I saw it many times before Diviano's acount was shut down by the man of course.  ISn't hat the one with the bumpersticker bit? :) *extends hand*

  • have you seen video "George Carlin - Teach your children to question?" it sums it up for me :D
