Review

Living Along the Autism Spectrum examines the perspectives of both a father and an individual on the spectrum. Topics range from family coping to employment. The DVD provides valuable insight into the range of emotions experienced in connection with an autism diagnosis and covers topics that can be used to generate important discussions. --Cathy Pratt, Ph.D., director, Indiana Resource Center for Autism; board chair, Autism Society of America

Product Description

This long-awaited DVD brings the viewer into a frank dialogue between two individuals whose lives have been deeply impacted by autism spectrum disorders. Stephen Shore, an individual on the spectrum who is also a professional in the field of ASD, and Robert Naseef, a psychologist who works primarily with families of children with disabilities and the father of a son with autism, discuss the human costs and benefits of ASD. In doing so, they cover topics such as sensory issues, social skills, anxiety, being different, family grief and anguish, siblings, empathy/compassion, as well as the cultural implications of ASD. Daniel Gottlieb, a psychologist, writer and speaker on disabilities who has a grandson on the spectrum, moderates the conversation. This DVD gives a human touch to an often misunderstood disorder. It is a great way to facilitate an open discussion about ASD, and is ideal for teacher training, professional development and for enhancing general public awareness.

This review is from: Living Along the Autism Spectrum: What Does It Mean to have Autism or Asperger Syndrome? (DVD)

An excellent video for those experiencing the disorders, families of those with the disorders and clinicians. It is rare that we are able to see and hear such knowledgeable and experienced educators and practitioners. I would recommend this video for anyone who is interested in the subject.
